Chapter 70 I Lost Again

"Is King Sima Yun of Huainan recruited by Empress Dowager Yang to the court? Is it Yang Jun's report?" After Sima Ji returned to the mansion, he digested the news today. He really couldn't understand the actions of the Taiwei Lord.

Compared with recent actions, King Sima Wei of Chu and King Sima Yun of Huainan entered the court one after another. Yang Jun should have used the idea of ​​restraining the royal family. Although there are many princes in the Jin Dynasty, there are many vassals. However, not many places have left the town. Of course, Sima Ji, the King of Yan, was also considered to have left the town, but Pingzhou is not important and the military power is limited.

According to the system left behind by Cao Wei, there are currently three places with the most important military power in the Jin Dynasty, namely Guanzhong, Jingzhou and Huainan. Guanzhong is not to mention that it was the first military town to deal with Shu Kingdom, but it was also the earliest military power controlled by the Sima family. Of course, it is very important. It is easy to understand Jingzhou, but it is the only way to go south. During the Cao Wei period, Cao Ren was stationed. As for Huainan, during the Sima family's rule, Huainan rebelled three times in succession, which is of course very important.

Other vassal kings hold relatively independent military power, financial power, and personnel power. This is a fact, but it is not as big as breaking the sky. For example, the princes can only collect one-third of the economic income of the feudal state and turn it over to the state treasury; the personnel appointment power is the central government to choose the core positions in the princes. Therefore, the princes clearly have their own feudal state, but they stay in the capital and stay in the capital and leave the big and small affairs of the feudal state to trustworthy people.

Guanzhong, Jingzhou and Huainan were both Sima Yan's own sons guarded, namely Sima Jian, King Qin, Sima Wei, King Chu, and Sima Yun, King Huainan. Now the King of Chu and King Huainan have entered the court one after another, almost destroying the arrangements left by Sima Yan to protect the Jin Dynasty.

"It's really a pity that Yang Jun can think of it?" Sima Ji grinned after thinking it through. He didn't understand that Luoyang is so good. In his opinion, it was much better to lead troops outside than to fight for power and profit in Luoyang.

At the critical moment, your own personal soldiers are reliable, so don’t think about the tens of thousands of central imperial guards. Since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the central imperial guards have recorded participating in coups. Until now, I don’t know how many coups I have participated in, and it has become a tradition.

Sima Ji felt that Youzhou was extremely safe. If he went to Luoyang, he would not even know how to die. Maybe any imperial guards could cut off his head. It was just that it was inconvenient to contact Luoyang. Staying in the capital would be more conducive to receiving the latest news of the court at any time, and it would be more conducive to promotion, so as to directly enter the center of the court. He could not enjoy great power in the country, but he would have to bear great pressure. If the political enemy made small reports in the court and Long Yan was furious, his career would be in danger.

But in Sima Ji's opinion, this is better than going to Luoyang. Yang Jun cannot do anything to himself. It is more dangerous to go to Luoyang. Now Yang Jun must have seen Sima Ji, the King of Yan, which is extremely annoying. He hopes that Sima Ji will stay in Youzhou and never appear in front of him. Sima Ji also thinks so, contrary to almost all the royal families who want to take charge of the dynasty, and they will not go to Luoyang if they are beaten to death.

"I'll make things difficult for you in Youzhou. If you have sex, you'll beat me, stupid!" Sima Ji was well aware of the method of spiritual victory. In fact, he did the same, so that Yan Yan would withdraw all the people in the salt drying field, and the salt drying field would be paralyzed in a short period of time.

The situation is very obvious now. Although Yang Jun is in power, he has no reason or determination to attack Sima Ji. Because he is not that kind of person, the risk factor for causing trouble for Yang Jun is not high.

"Didn't Your Highness go to pick up the salt official? Why are you back so soon?" Qiao Xi, dressed in palace costume, walked over and brought a few maids to clean the inner hall, but was surprised to see the official back. He couldn't help but ask, "Did Your Highness not have you drunk and talked to the salt official? So fast?"

"I'm not happy!" Sima Ji glared at Qiaoxi, and thought about it carefully that he didn't have any impression of Yang Ying's salt officials, and he couldn't say anything. After a glance, he seemed to have a pretty woman among Yang Ying's female relatives. Why don't you ask about it one day?

"Governor, the King of Yan is simply too bullying. He took away all the people in the salt farm without a sound. How do I run this? It is obvious that I don't take the imperial court's majesty and the Grand Marshal seriously." After three rounds of wine, Yang Ying complained to the Youzhou governor Xu Meng, "I think the King of Yan is dissatisfied with the salt farm being taken back."

You know! I have to say that Xu Meng also thought so. With such a huge source of wealth, he felt that ordinary vassal kings would not be moved. Of course, he could not see that Yan King was not an ordinary vassal king.

"The King of Yan is young. Although he has only been the throne for a year, from this year's observation, it can be said that he is a word within the ban. It's not that I'm talking about you, so don't be arrogant in front of the King of Yan just now. In my opinion, if the King of Yan is unhappy, the tenants who withdraw the salt farm are definitely not just talking." Xu Meng sighed and persuaded, "After withdrawing, don't expect the King of Yan to send people back again!"

"He dares? Is this a tit-for-tat confrontation with the court?" Yang Ying slapped the table hard and said.

"He dares! Yan Yan has already done it!" The person who walked in and spoke was Yang Qian, the lieutenant of Yan State, who was also the family of Yang Ying, Hongnong Yang family. The two exchanged glances. Both of them were not as fierce as King Yan, and they directly told them that they would not put the tenants of the country in the salt field.

"What should I do?" Unexpectedly, Sima Jizhen dared to be so uncooperative, Yang Ying became weaker. Originally, Yang Ying thought it was very easy to come to Beiping County to receive the salt farm, but unexpectedly, he was exterminated when he arrived in Youzhou.

But Yang Ying immediately remembered Yang Jun again, and immediately said with courage, "The move of King Yan was just a mantis chariot. I immediately asked someone to report to the Taiwei. Is there only someone in Beiping County? I can still maintain the operation of the salt field from other prefectures and counties. I thought that such a small method would make me retreat and dream."

A few days later, Yang Jun received the news from Yang Ying and smiled at his left and right confidants, "The King of Yan is fierce, but I will not be as knowledgeable as a royal family who is not as strong as the weak. Zhuzi is still young, as if he thought that a mere Yan State would be the whole world! Immediately summon tenants from the surrounding prefectures and counties to Beiping County. Aren't we not allowed the tenants of the banned state to continue drying salt? Just don't we, a tenants of Yan State, don't we! Just conquer from Bingzhou, that's close."

"Your Highness shouldn't be like this. The Grand Marshal is in charge of the court. This is not advisable!" After finding an opportunity, Xu Meng was still angry with Sima Ji. "Wang Zhongxing, the governor of Bingzhou, has been ordered to move his household registration to Beiping County."

"Oh!" Sima Ji nodded without changing his expression and said that he knew, which means you made a profit again and I lost again.
Chapter completed!
