"King Yan, please stay." Sima Ji happened to see Sima Yao, the King of Dong'an who left the palace, who took the initiative to say hello, "I heard that the King of Yan suggested that I leave the town by asking King Qi? Yao doesn't know how to thank him."

Sima Yao was a vassal king who had been attacked. He was exiled by Sima Liang for several years because of wanton rewards and punishments. He had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. Now the situation in the capital is complicated, and being able to escape from this environment and leave the town is a matter of undesirable demand for him. In a sense, his destiny is in his own hands. When he learned that Sima Ji made a suggestion, he thanked him.

"It was the King of Qi who took the initiative to mention this matter. I just followed the flow." Sima Ji was not in a hurry to enter the palace, so he chatted with Sima Yao, "Some places like Qing, Yan, and Yu are more sensitive. The King of Qi may have made other arrangements, and Xuzhou is not good, so he may not be noticed by Yecheng. I am the King of Fan Yang, my uncle is more with the flow. It is not easy for him to raise Xuchang's troops to respond to the King of Qi, and he should not take the initiative to seek anything."

Dazhou, which is close to Sima Yongye City's base camp, in addition to his own Youzhou north of Jizhou, there are also Yan and Qingzhou. Qingzhou is Sima Ji's hometown, so Sima Yao would not let Sima Yao go out of the town. Besides, Sima Ji was not very willing. Qingzhou was the place where his father was the general of the town. Although many years have passed, there are still some acquaintances, but it is not available now.

Yanzhou is the same as being more sensitive, but Xuzhou is much better. The tendency is not so obvious. It is not far or near to Yecheng, and it also poses a certain threat to Xuchang. It is not easy for Sima Yong to catch his braid.

"The King of Qi wants to win over you and me, suppress Yecheng and Xuchang?" Sima Yao led his troops for many years, so he naturally understood at a glance, and lowered his voice, "It's mainly Yecheng?"

"However, as for Sima Xin in Jingxiang, it should be Yizhou in dealing with Sima Ying." Sima Ji held a jade file and touched his nails and whispered gently, "Xuzhou is not bad either. You can go north, west, or south to shock the Jiangdong gentry. However, this kind of place is not something that ordinary officials can control, and it must be great. Among the kings in Beijing, only you, King Dong'an, is determined and courageous."

Sima Ji didn't have to think about this kind of place where he seemed to be able to take the initiative but actually got beaten once he was weak. Luoyang under his feet was a typical example of this kind of environment, and Luoyang was suitable for being the capital of the Taiping Dynasty.

While the two were chatting, several Sima Ji, who were rewarded at the same time, appeared in the palace gate. Lu Ji, Wei Yi, Han Tai and others saw the two of them here, and left without saying anything.

"Why is this under the command of King Qi? What's going on?" Sima Yao frowned when he saw these people, and said with dissatisfaction, "You and I are both kings and princes, how dare you do this?"

"The King of Dong'an may be implicated by me. I like the Legalists, so their attitude is normal." Sima Ji laughed silently and said indifferently, "Maybe there are old friends and relatives locked up in the court guards. It's good to be able to treat him."

Now when the King of Yan appears, he looks like a spokesperson for the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. He is full of swordsmen. It would be strange if he can be accepted by the gentry.

"Are you still afraid of them?" Sima Ji watched Sima Yao leave, turned around and entered the palace, and his steps were also unrecognizable. If you want to solve the royal family in the military town, you must solve the gentry at the same time, otherwise you will be waiting for usurpation of the throne. The royal family must be strong. Only when the gentry is solved can the royal family be considered weakened. The gentry and the royal family are a problem from the perspective of imperial power.

The court is nothing more than balance. One side is too strong, and the emperor often starts to support the other side and starts to check and balance. When all support is raised, it is often a sign of disintegration. This problem frequently occurred before the Song Dynasty. For the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was closely related to the Jin Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty was already very strong, and the three Dukes of the Fourth Generation were not Yuan Shao's family.

These powerful people intermarried and merged with each other. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor frequently used the eunuchs in his hands to attack the powerful foreign relatives. Then the foreign relatives used the young emperor to defeat the eunuchs. The strength of both sides became stronger and stronger, and the situation was finally out of control.

The Jin Dynasty only used the royal family to replace eunuchs as a suppression force. After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty began to use eunuchs to deal with court officials and vassal states. The court could not have too strong power to stand out, otherwise it would appear.

But no matter what force it is, the tools it relies on are the army. Sima Ji felt that it was not stupid to open a government in the past. At least they understood the role of the army. As long as Sima Ji kept the army under his jurisdiction loyal to him, everything could be done.

As for the policy, everyone is equal under the emperor. It just so happens that the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty is a once-in-a-lifetime person.

"I am leaving 1." After Sima Ji was grateful, he looked at the palace dress, Yang Xianrong and said.

"Leaving? When?" Yang Xianrong was stunned and said with a complicated expression, "Are you going back to Jicheng? So soon? I don't know when we can meet again. It's good that the capital is now a place of right and wrong."

"Send the military pay from the army under the command of King Hejian and leave. It is to return to Jicheng and go back to recruit soldiers." Sima Ji rolled his eyes and said quietly, "In the troubled times, only the army is the foundation for maintaining one's life. With the army there, everything is possible."

"What should I say? I hope you will come back soon? You and I shouldn't know each other." Yang Xianrong was a little self-pitying, but he still spoke, "Xian Rong can only say that he will never want to hear the news of His Highness's defeat and death."

Sima Ji, who had been dull, suddenly felt a sore nose when he heard this, stretched out his fingers to wipe away the wetness in the corners of his eyes, and said silently, "The Central Palace should not hear it. I will leave, take care of the Central Palace."

This is just a plain sentence. How could I feel a little moved? It seems that there is a saying called inadvertent touching. This situation exists. Sima Ji looked ashamed on the way out of the palace. It seems that he is still not recognizing his relatives.

The kings opened their palaces one after another, and the entire Luoyang was building a large-scale construction. The fans of their respective fans at the banquet were all singularly. Sima Ji was just an ordinary one among the Eight Kings. He built a large-scale building, took Wugu City in the north, and opened various offices in the south, destroying hundreds of houses and building a large craftsman.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Sima Ji didn't mind giving favors to the water at this time and released all the officials detained in the Tingwei, which was to give Sima Ji the auxiliary government a face.

In the eyes of others, this was naturally under the strong pressure of Sima Jiong. The King of Yan, who valued the cruel officials, had to submit. When the news came, the court officials were filled with joy.

Sima Ji didn't care about all this. The old saying goes, it's not fat first. Waiting for Shi Chao to arrive in Sizhou with 20,000 infantrymen, he set off for the north. There was another vassal king who did not appear in the celebration of the commendation, but hanged with the generals of the imperial guards, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Sima Yi!" Sima Ji thought of this stranger except himself and said to himself.

"Your Highness, General Shi Chao has led 20,000 infantry to the eastern suburbs!" Li Shan walked in from outside the hall to report.
