Chapter 273: The Jin Kingdom withers
With the rotation of the sun and the moon, day and night alternated, not to mention that Sun Fu was anxiously waiting for the news after sending the Jingyuan Pill, and at this time, there was also a conversation about Sima Yu in the palace of the Golden Dragon King City of the Jin Kingdom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.
At night, in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, I saw a bright light coming out of a private room.
A man in his thirties, dressed in a yellow embroidered dragon robe, sat under the lamp, reading a pile of recitals and papers.
Such an age is the time when the body is strong, and although this person has a long and strong appearance, his appearance is magnificent, but at this time he looks haggard and exhausted.
This person is Sima Chi, the contemporary monarch of the Jin Kingdom, since Sima Zhen was poisoned by Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, he was supported by the other party to ascend to the throne.
At that time, Sima Yue appointed himself as the Taifu to assist the government, and during the auxiliary government, he did not think of uniting officials to unite with the outside world, but monopolized power and wantonly killed courtiers, putting everyone in danger and the world was in turmoil.
Especially in recent years, natural disasters, war and chaos, most of the people are hungry and poor, selling their children to each other, and there are countless people who have fled and migrated.
Under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, there were three major capitals, nine major towns, more than 20 acropolises, and more than 70 small cities, two-thirds of which were plagued by famines, locust plagues, and even the vegetation and the fur of cattle and horses could not be seen.
In addition, the plague was rampant, and most of the common people were killed by robbers, so that the drifting corpses were all over the river, and the fields were covered with white bones.
Although not long ago, Sima Chibu issued an edict to attack Sima Yue, causing Sima Yue to die of illness in the same month, but then because Wang Yan fought with Zhao **'s team, they lost one after another, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.
The current Jin Kingdom can be said to be turbulent, with broken mountains and rivers, and turmoil.
And Xiyi also from the disease of ringworm scabies to the heart of the big trouble, its peep into the Jin country for a long time, just recently has broken through one of the three major capitals of the Jin State of Ancheng, at that time, the Ancheng garrison and the only remaining 3,000 soldiers and the city coexisted and died, and finally all died of exhaustion, and Xiyi is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Jin State, which may attack the Golden Dragon King City of the Jin State at any time.
Of course, the most important thing is the biggest hostile force in the Jin State, Shi Hu, the lord of the Zhao State, is not as good as the day by day, at this critical moment, the Zhao ** team has no intention of attacking, so that the Jin State can survive, otherwise, once the old and new regimes of the Zhao State are replaced and the people's hearts are stabilized, I am afraid that the Jin State regime will be subverted.
Sima Chi looked at the various urgent reports in front of him, frowned, sighed lightly, and said to the door: "Xiao Shunzi, accompany me to the Wuji Palace, I want to meet the sect elder." ”
There was a eunuch outside the door, who came in and said, "Hooray! It's so late, do you still want to go to the Wuji Palace?"
"Let's go! don't ask more questions if you shouldn't!" Sima Chi said.
"Slave and maid are talkative, please long live the lord!" Xiao Shunzi knelt down in fear.
"Okay, okay, it's just that you're busy, hurry up and lead the way!" Sima Chi urged.
"Yes!"
After a while, the two of them came to a tower-like palace, which had a three-zhang diameter and a two-story structure.
"Xiao Shunzi, you wait outside, I can go in alone!" Sima Chi finished speaking and walked into the Wuji Palace.
"Slave obeys!" Xiao Shunzi stood aside and waited quietly.
In the Wuji Palace, I saw an old man about seventy years old sitting quietly in the center of the hall with his eyes closed, although he was sitting, he could also see that his shape was particularly strange, his stature was as short as a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, he was white, his face was wrinkled, and he was dressed in a wide black robe, the more thin and short he looked.
"Ahem, ahem!"
As Sima Chi entered the main hall, the old man's deep-set eyes suddenly opened, and the two dark eyes suddenly shone brightly, like two cold stars, revealing wisdom and perseverance, which made people see that he had extraordinary experience, but then he kept coughing to expose the hidden worries of his body.
"Sect Elder, are you okay?" asked Sima Chi with a worried expression.
"It turned out to be the king! Alas, the old problem is wrong, I can't live because I have done my own thing, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to the rumors and joined forces to deal with Xiao Qingshan! This battle made us understand that the Central Plains is rich in resources and skilled in martial arts, even if it is also congenital, it is also very different! It's a pity that I was blinded at that time......" The old man said with a look of regret.
"Clan elder, there is no need to be so humble, that Xiao Qingshan is said to have had no news for more than ten years, and Zhao Guo once sent someone over to deliver the news, and wanted to meet Xiao Qingshan for a while, but he was blocked back by the turmoil in the Jin Kingdom. ”
"The lack of news is the most worrying, that represents the unknown, the art of war, knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and we planted a heel on this in the first place. You did the right thing, I was already wrong once back then, and I can't be wrong again and again! Even if we join forces again, what can I do? Will I definitely be able to defeat Xiao Qingshan? If not, who will be able to stop Xiao Qingshan's counterattack at that time?"
"What the sect elder said is very true, but I came here this time because I have something important to report to the clan elder. Sima Chi's voice changed.
"Oh, my old bones are running out of time, and you still have a place to use them?" the old man frowned.
Zong Lao said with a smile, Zong Lao is the pillar of the royal family, if there is no Zong Lao in charge, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Back then, you little guys fought for the throne, and I couldn't make a move, after all, they are all descendants of the royal family, my old man can only be impartial, not to mention that once I make a move, I'm afraid it won't last long, I can't become a sinner in the Jin Kingdom, so please say something if you have something to do!"
"The current situation is turbulent, Xiyi has invaded, and has occupied one of our capitals, Ancheng is now in the hands of the enemy, and the Golden Dragon King City will face the threat of Xikou. And we have suffered heavy losses, our national strength is weak, and we have no more soldiers to fight except for the Janissaries of Wangcheng, and we are in danger......" Sima Chi explained.
"Don't worry, if Xikou doesn't find an opponent who can resist Xiao Lao'er, they will never dare to attack our Golden Dragon King City, don't look at Zhao Guo suppressing us on the frontal battlefield, winning one after another, if they really want to fight against us, at least they need to be prepared to be taken away by the old man A wave of masters. ”
"Now all parties are waiting and seeing, dragging to see who can't hold on first, so I can't act rashly, including Yan and Zhao, unless they have a new innate birth. However, some time ago, I sensed that Zhao Guo had a new innate master, but I don't know why Zhao Guo has not moved. The old man was puzzled.
"Sect Elder, how can ordinary people resist the temptation of imperial power? And according to the news from the secret agent, Zhao Guo is not much better, several princes of Zhao State have died one after another, and Zhao Wang Shihu's body is also getting worse day by day, and time is running out......"
"Therefore, I make a bold guess, I am afraid that many forces in the Zhao State are coveting the position above the ten thousand people, you must know that every time the transfer of imperial power is the reorganization of power, and every force wants to go further, according to me, the Zhao State is afraid that it will not have time to care about it in the short term. ”
Sima Chi can sit in this position, how can he not know what the change of political power means?
