Chapter 623 Yizhou

"Not bad, not bad. It's too late for our royal family to protect this country, so it was naturally Zhang Chang who did it. The rebellion of the unruly people affected the people. Who wasn't he?" Sima Xi nodded frequently, and looked like this, directly pushing all the war on Zhang Chang.

After the initial stability, Sima Ji began to issue new orders in a daze, first of all, to formally remove Sima Ying, Sima Yue, Sima Party, including the fiefdoms involving the royal family, Donghai, Gaomi, and Fan Yang. All of them were expelled from the royal family, along with the still alive Sima Ying and Sima's descendants, and the two and their descendants are now in Jicheng.

After this incident, the royal family successfully lost weight. In addition, Sima Dan and others who died in the coup had previously been killed by the coup. The royal family kings remained less than 30 for a long time.

The most important one among them is Sima Ying's fiefdom, which almost occupied most of Yizhou. Such a large fiefdom was unreasonable, and Sima Ji used the grounds that Yizhou was a place where Liu Bei was separatist and prone to losing control, saying that he would no longer enfeoff the royal family to Yizhou from then on.

Then it was changed to the title. Sima Yu, the prince of Qin in Guanzhong, was the son of Sima Yun, the former King of Huainan. The Qin King's fief was also very huge. Sima Ji also changed Sima Yu to the northern part of Yangzhou, and at the same time removed the fief of Sima Yan of King Wu. The reason was that Sima Yan was innately in poor health and could not manage the fief.

This time, the loss was more successful than expected, because the King of Qi, Changsha, Zhao, Chu, and Huainan were killed before, and many of the vassals were adopted. Many of the adopted descendants were adopted by the vassal kings who later assisted the government. Sima Ying and Sima both adopted many sons to inherit the titles of others. Now, the two of them and their descendants were expelled from the royal family, and many of the vassals were vacant.

Sima Ji's operation was to continue to hunt down the descendants of his enemies, and the king's titles that were cut off by the previous government should not be restored. It is called respecting King Qi and the decision of King Changsha. The former is in line with the international situation, while the latter considers the national conditions here. If you can take advantage of it, you will never suffer any losses.

Because the pursuit of losers and too close vassal kings seems natural, the kings in the capital now turn a blind eye, as long as they don’t deal with them, they think they don’t see them.

In fact, there is still room for operation for these remaining royal families in the future. For example, Sima Xin, the King of Shinye who was knocked and beaten up, will have no descendants. As long as the King of Shinye is extinct one day, the King of Shinye can be taken back. Of course, this is a future matter.

After the rioters in Yangzhou were wiped out, there was another good news in Liu Heng's memorial, which could be called a double happiness. The first thing was naturally stable in Jiangnan, so that the canal from Luoyang to Jiankang would be re-dragged. The food in Sizhou would no longer be maintained by Youzhou, and the second thing was tax collection.

After Emperor Wu Sima Yan unified the world, he was exempted from the 20-year tax in the Wu Kingdom with a big stroke. Sima Ji didn't know if the founding king issued an imperial edict when he was in a hurry. Anyway, this matter was a foregone conclusion. This led to the fact that the Central Plains had become a whole until the Eight Kings Rebellion began, and the imperial court had not yet begun to pay taxes in the Wu Kingdom.

Because the north has been in war and no one cares about Jiangnan's affairs, Sima Ji probably extended this time. This is embarrassing. Jin destroyed Wu and Jin Dynasty, which was obviously the winner, but he did not get any benefits. He did not enjoy the Jiangnan taxes of copper coins, so he started from the north. Of course, the advantage was that the Jin Dynasty lost the north, and the five horses crossed the river and the people in Jiangnan were grateful for their kindness, which allowed the Eastern Jin Dynasty to gain a firm foothold.

But now Sima Ji has eliminated all the enemies. He doesn't need the people of Jiangnan to be grateful for his kindness. Paying taxes is more important than anything else. Now the Central Plains is in a mess, so he needs a shot of a heart-warming agent. Isn't it easy to calculate the grain in Sizhou? He doesn't need to make up for the extra taxes and pay the taxes this year first.

Liu Heng's memorial brought good news, which was the taxes of the people in Jiangnan this year. To be fair, because of Zhang Chang's rebellion, the situation in Jiangnan may be stronger than that in the Central Plains and limited, but at this time Sima Ji no longer had capital and was very generous in learning from Emperor Wu Sima Yan. It would be useful to have as much as he could.

"If you don't go out to rob, you won't be able to live your life." Sima Ji was forced to look around. He looked around. There were grass outside the Great Wall. But Funan has been in good weather in recent years. How good would it be to rob Liuye? It would be great if it was next to Rome Persia. After the civil war, Sima Ji started to stand and speak without a pain in his back. If Rome Persia next to him was watching, the King of Yan would have to be anxious. Now he has settled down and wants to rob, but he thinks Rome Persia is too far away.

Although he did not have a good goal, Sima Ji still remembered the Queen of Funan. He seemed to have promised Liu Ye to marry the other party, which was a matter that had been decided long ago.

"Cao Qian, you send someone to find Lu He, bring my handwritten letter from the king, and let the Youzhou fleet pick up the Queen of Willow Leaf." Sima Jifen wrote a lot of writing, just as Cao Qian came in and said quickly, "Sort someone to enter the palace to inform Weishan, prepare an imperial edict to convey to the Funan Kingdom. The marriage between the two families has been decided before."

"Cao Qian congratulated King Yan for taking his concubine!" Cao Qian was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at Sima Ji with suspicious eyes and said congratulations. This gaze contained concerns. There were more than three thousand female relatives in your old mansion, and there were nearly ten of them who were married by the Ming media alone. Is there still here now?

"For the sake of stability between the two countries, I can only sacrifice myself." Sima Jiman said reluctantly, "There is no suitable candidate in the royal family now. It is somewhat inappropriate for the emperor to marry a barbarian woman. Only I and Liu Ye have the same identities and do not discriminate against these barbarians."

"I will do it right away." Cao Qian absolutely believed Sima Ji's words. Looking back at the Yan Palace in Jicheng, he knew that it was an important town in the Jin Dynasty. Those who didn't know thought it was a foreign country in the Western Regions. The King of Yan was famous for not picking on food, but only looked at his appearance and did not distinguish between Hu and Jin people.

Turning around and about to leave, Cao Qian came back and reported, "The King of Yan ordered the Imperial General to recruit elite training to prepare for the southern expedition, but the southern climate cannot be simulated, and the Imperial General was helpless."
