Four hundred and ninetieth chapters Dazai Dajin
"Your Highness, for the sake of the present, in order to avoid the two vassal kings attacking at the same time, your Highness can take a step back and return to the country to become a vassal. Your Highness has made contributions to the world, and Sima Yong and Sima Ying will not dare to kill them all." Wang Rong stood up with a wry smile and said, "Otherwise, if you really send troops, a big battle will be inevitable."
"Wang Rong is right. Although the Luoyang Imperial Army has been renovated, King Zhao suffered huge losses in one battle. It is probably difficult to win against the two vassal kings at the same time." Sima Yue, who also heard the news, also agreed. The situation was indeed irreversible, and there was no room for perfunctory maneuver. He could only persuade King Qi to face the reality and let the government protect his life. This is not only Wang Rong's opinion, but also the views of most court officials present.
You should know that Sima Jiong's army has dispersed, and only the Luoyang Imperial Army was in his hands, but both east and west were hostile vassal kings. If a war broke out at this time, it would be Sima Lun's fate.
Sima Ji was also a little hesitant. The Jin Dynasty has always treated the royal family well. This is naturally because he hopes that the royal family will suppress the gentry who have long become bigger. So far, except for the usurping of the throne, Sima Lun has been hiding. The King of Huainan and the King of Chu are both bloody on the streets, and they generally won’t kill all the royal family. But this is not accurate. Sima Ji showed no mercy at all when he came to Luoyang and directly killed three vassal kings. Someone has set this precedent. Will he be killed all after returning to the country and the vassal?
Just when Sima Jiong was hesitating, Ge Qi was furious and said, "Sima Lun let Sun Xiu and changed Tian Ri. At that time, the world was talking nonstop, but no one dared to advocate it first. Ming Gong risked the danger of arrows, put on his armor and charged in the battle, so that today was today. Regarding merits and deeds, many things were not comprehensive. Santai adopted advice and did not compassionate with the king's affairs, and the rewards were delayed. The responsibility was not in the Ming Gong's house. Slander and rebellion should be punished, faked books, and let the king be dismissed from his post and returned home. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, how could the king protect his wife and children when he was dismissed from his post? Those who hold such arguments can be beheaded."
Once Sima Jie retreats, will the end of bleakness still be between 55, but he and several Sima Jie's confidants will definitely not have a good end. Sima Jie's close relatives made great contributions a year ago. Although this year has not been satisfactory, they have not committed unforgivable crimes. If he obeyed Wang Rong's words, announced his abdication of his post and resigned to the State of Qi to be punished by a single person, his power will definitely not be obtained again. It is possible that his fief and title will be partially deprived, but his life will be preserved.
But for Ge Qi and others, once Sima Ji lost power, they had to surrender. The new ruler would definitely cut off the wings of the King of Qi. If Sima Ji was eventually executed, they would naturally be buried with him. If Sima Ji was pardoned, then someone would bear the mistakes made during Qi's rule. These confidants were the best candidates for scapegoats.
So when he saw Sima Jihe hesitating, he immediately stood up and encouraged morale, "Don't look at the king of Hejian so arrogant. There are still vassal kings in the world who can control him. The king of Yan has been commanding the northern land for many years, and has made many achievements in the east and west. He has tens of thousands of troops under his command. His Highness can immediately order the king of Yan to rebel. His Highness may not lose this battle."
"Good words!" Sima Ji suddenly raised his head when he heard this, as if he had recovered his energy and spirit. "I will never sit still and wait for death, let Sima Yong, a villain, be laughed at. King Liang had just passed away and the priest was hanging in the air. I submitted that King Yan was the priest, and the founding of the Mansion Yi and the Three Sessions to attack Sima Yong."
"It should have been like this long ago!" Han Tai and other confidants of the King of Qi clapped and applauded. The Secretary of the Central Secretariat was there, and now he was very busy drafting the imperial edict. Wang Rong sighed and retreated to the ministers.
"The King of Changsha is still in the city. If he cooperates with the King of Hejian inside and outside, it may be unfavorable to Your Highness." Han Tai worked hard for a while and suddenly remembered Sima Yi in the proclamation of Sima Yong. Although this was suspected of killing people with a knife, it was no longer possible to keep things in check. He had to control Sima Yi and even kill him directly to eliminate future troubles.
"You are right, let's get rid of the internal troubles first." Sima Jiong looked at the imperial edict sent to Jicheng coldly and ordered, "Catch Sima Yi first, General Dong Ai, you can take people to the General Cavalry Mansion."
Before Dong Ai left the Qi Palace, Sima Yi was running wildly on the street towards the palace with a hundred confidants. The team of less than 100 people was panting, but did not dare to relax at all. Sima Yi was wearing armor and holding a sword to cut off the curtain to relieve the burden, and then drove to the palace city.
This manifesto was only arrived in Luoyang today. King Sima Jiong of Qi knew that he, the King of Changsha, also knew about it at the same time. It was not such a secret thing. Ten years ago, he watched his brother King Chu with his own eyes. In a blink of an eye, he went from a leader supported by the imperial guards to a lonely man, and was finally forced to commit suicide.
It was obvious that he was defending the emperor, but he was killed by Jia Hou in a blink of an eye. Today, Sima Yi would never relax his vigilance. When he saw the edict mentioned his name, he knew something was wrong, so he rushed out of the Changsha Palace with his confidant and headed straight for the palace. This was also because Sima Jiong had undermined the court and had been working in the Qi Palace. The court officials also came to the Qi Palace to handle government affairs, which gave Sima Yi this opportunity.
Sima Yi, who had been traveling all the way, immediately ordered, "Close the gate of the palace, and the imperial guards in the hall obeyed my orders and prepared all their weapons. No one was allowed to enter. Those who violated the orders would be killed without mercy. Where is the emperor? Take me to meet the emperor."
Sima Yi, who had just rushed into the palace city, didn't even breathe evenly. He opened his mouth and ordered a series of cannons to command his confidant to take over the military power of the imperial guards in the palace and close the palace gate. As the tall palace gate was closed, the imperial city became an isolated space. The palace city is the political center of Luoyang and even the whole country. It has a solid structure that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which can give Sima Yi a sense of security.
Dong Ai took Sima Jiong's military morale to the Changsha Palace with great momentum. The building was already empty. Dong Ai was shocked and immediately asked Sima Yi whereabouts. Only then did he realize that the other party had already fled the palace and entered the palace.
Soon Sima Yi summoned the generals of the imperial guards in the hall of 20,000. The imperial guards in the hall of 20,000 are the essence of the entire imperial guards. Meng Guanyou was born in the imperial guards in the hall. The imperial guards in the hall have not been affected by the chaos so far, and are the best preserved part of the imperial guards.
Sima Yi invited the emperor Sima Zhong out, so that the commanders of the imperial guards in the hall were loyal to them, "I hope to follow the King of Changsha to fight against rebellion..."
