Seeing that his words resonated with the other princes, Sima Liang, the king of Runan, smiled.

Sima Liang continued: "What your brothers said is extremely true! Now that the traitors in the court are in charge, bewitching Your Majesty, we, as members of the royal family, should unite for the sake of the ancestors' inheritance, and not let the tricks of those traitors succeed, so my opinion is that our eight kings have formed an alliance, one side is in trouble, and the other seven parties must support. What do you think? ”

When the others heard this, they nodded their heads.

But Sima Yin, the king of Qi, frowned.

Sima Liang noticed Sima Yin's expression, and said, "King Qi, the contradiction between you and the King of Southeast understands everyone. Back then, your father, the old King of Qi, was depressed because of the King of the Southeast, and finally died of illness, but you should understand in your heart that the fault of this matter is not the King of the Southeast, the culprit is Shen Lie, and the Shen family has been beheaded all over the house, and you still blame the King of the Southeast, why bother. ”

"It's my father who died, of course you can speak cool words! Back then, if the king of the southeast could raise his noble hand a little higher, my father would not have died, the murderer was Shen Lie, but the king of the southeast was also an accomplice. Let me let go of hatred, absolutely impossible! Sima Jian said viciously, his eyes were like eagle doves.

Sima Haiyun was sitting precariously, not daring to look at Sima Jian, and he didn't know what happened between his fathers at all, but it sounded like Sima Jian's father's death had something to do with his father. No wonder Sima Jian always targets himself.

"Since you insist on it, then the grievances between you and the king of the southeast belong to the two of you, and we don't participate, and we don't just ask. However, if others are in danger, you must come to the rescue, and if you are besieged by other forces, we will help too, how about it? Sima Liang asked.

Sima Jian nodded at this time.

Sima Liang looked at Sima Haiyun again and asked, "Haiyun, you are the prince of the southeast king, can you agree to this matter on behalf of your father?" ”

"It's all up to Uncle Runan Wang." Sima Haiyun said busily.

Sima Liang laughed, then raised his wine glass, and said, "Then let's drink the wine in the glass at the same time, and the covenant is officially reached!" Next, I will go into detail about the other details of the Covenant! ”

......

While Shen Ning was waiting in the courtyard, Jia Xu walked over.

"Shen Gongzi is really conscientious, the prince of the southeast is drinking in the house, and you still have to stay in the courtyard. Rest assured, there will be no danger to the son. Jia Xu laughed.

Shen Ning said with a smile: "It is my duty to protect the prince, in case an assassin attacks, there are seven princes and one prince in the house, once something happens, won't the world be in chaos?" ”

"yes, it's going to be a mess... But what is the difference between the current situation and the chaos in the world? Jia Xu shook his head.

Nowadays, the localities are divided, the army is self-respecting, the people are seriously exploited, the border passes are occupied by foreign enemies, the generals and foreign enemies are in cahoots, the family annexes land, and so on...

If there is a disaster in the past year, then the people are not able to make a living.

"There are still some differences, once the world is really in chaos, I don't know how many people will die." Shen Ning replied.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Shen Gongzi is not a sentimental character, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, it is difficult for benevolent people to survive in troubled times, I think Shen Gongzi is not such a person." Yes, the people can still survive now, but it's only a matter of time, and the world will be chaotic sooner or later, isn't it? ”

Today's Dajin is like cracked ice, with more and more cracks, until it can't hold on, and it explodes directly with a bang.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the ice will break, but we should wait for it to break slowly, but give it some external force to let it break as soon as possible.

Shen Ning sensed Jia Xu's emotions and asked with a smile: "Listening to Mr. 's words, it seems that I hope that the chaos in the world will end soon?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "I'm a mortal, I don't want to have any hope, I just want to survive in troubled times." Whether the world is chaotic or not is not something that Jia can decide. Shen Gongzi, farewell..."

I saw him leave with his hands in his hands, looking very chic.

Shen Ning looked at his back and muttered, "Although you are a mortal, you are still a poisoner." ”

After waiting another two quarters of an hour, the banquet in the house was over.

Sima Liang sent everyone out with a happy face, and the other princes were also smiling, and it could be seen that they were quite satisfied with the content of the conversation.

After Sima Haiyun said goodbye to Sima Liang, he left the palace with Shen Ning.

On the way back, Sima Haiyun lay in the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Shen Ning resisted the impulse and didn't ask, he knew his position very well, what he shouldn't ask, couldn't ask.

However, Sima Haiyun wanted to say: "Shen Ning, you will never guess what the purpose of the banquet held by the King of Runan today!" ”

"What is it?" Shen Ning asked.

Sima Haiyun said solemnly: "It's for the alliance!" The eight kings form an alliance and share weal and woe! ”

Shen Ning frowned.

The eight kings have never formed an alliance with each other, and once they form an alliance, their ambitions will be inflated, so won't they raise troops to rebel next?

In addition, if the news of the alliance of the eight kings reached the ears of Emperor Sima Zhou, with his narrow mind, he would inevitably take action against the eight kings, because he would not tolerate the alliance of the enemy, which would completely violate his bottom line!

So an alliance is definitely not appropriate at this stage! After the chaos in the world, we will talk about forming alliances, uniting vertically and horizontally, and dividing the world, this is the royal road.

Sima Liang doesn't understand, doesn't Jia Xu understand?

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Shen Ning came to his senses.

Could this be Jia Xu's plan!

Jia Xu deliberately lobbied Sima Liang to form an alliance with Wang Jue, the actual purpose was to anger Emperor Sima Zhou, let Sima Zhou do something to the Eight Kings, and completely open up the chaos in the world!

Therefore, Jia Xu took refuge in Sima Liang from the beginning, not to assist him at all, just for the chaos in the world.

But why? Jia Xu doesn't look like a person who is easy to kill, why do you want to do this?

At this moment, Shen Ning thought of Jia Xu's life experience and character.

His family died at the hands of a foreign enemy, who was the murderer, and the incompetent Great Jin Dynasty was the helper!

Secondly, Jia Xu has been seeking himself all his life, but there is a saying that is right, life in troubled times is like mustard, and he Jia Xu has talent, so he dares to guarantee smooth sailing? Only in a peaceful and prosperous world can we seek ourselves.

"I see!"

"You want to die in your lifetime, and then support the new lord to change the sky! This world will be chaotic sooner or later, why drag it all the time, drag it until the whole world is full of holes. ”

"What a poisoner!"

Shen Ning is a human being in two lives, he prides himself on being ruthless enough, and he can do anything to take revenge, but compared with the famous poisoner, Shen Ning is still too tender.

Now that you have guessed Jia Xu's purpose, what should you do?

Shen Ning fell into thought, he was thinking about the gains and losses.

If the world is completely in chaos, will it be good or bad for him at this stage?

After analysis, it was found that the disadvantages outweighed the benefits for Shen Ning.

Shen Ning is too young and his savings are not deep, because he has to rely on Xuzhou for development, so he must control Xuzhou's military power in order to make a living in the troubled times.

But if the world is in chaos now, Sima Jian will attack Xuzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou will also attack Xuzhou, and Xuzhou will be divided at that time, and Shen Ning's plan will be completely defeated.

If you want to rise again in other places, it is not impossible, but it is extremely difficult, because the world is so big, and the good places have been divided, and if you want to rise, you will inevitably be crazy suppressed by others.

"It's broken! The gathering of the eight kings tonight must have reached the ears of Emperor Sima Zhou. Jia Xu's plan had already begun. ”

"Next, Jia Xu will definitely leak the alliance and let Emperor Sima Zhou know!"

"I have to stop!"

Shen Ning was glad that Jia Xu was an advent figure, so he was familiar with Jia Xu's character, if someone else was planning this matter, when Shen Ning reacted, the situation had already been decided, and Shen Ning was powerless to return to the sky.

"Shen Ning, what's wrong with you? Do you notice something wrong? Sima Haiyun saw him in a daze and hurriedly asked.

Shen Ning replied: "I always feel weird, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that there is no problem. After all, an alliance is a good thing! ”

"yes, I think it's weird too." Sima Haiyun replied.

Escorting Sima Haiyun back to the Southeast Palace, Shen Ning did not go back to the house to rest, he was thinking about how to convince Jia Xu.

"How do you convince him?"

Shen Ning felt a deep sense of frustration.

If you want to convince Jia Xu, you have to know Jia Xu's purpose for doing this.

Jia Xu hated this troubled world, and hated the Great Jin Dynasty even more.

Secondly, the world is peaceful, so that you can protect yourself.

"I also hate the Great Jin Dynasty, it seems that I have the same enemy as Jia Xu. As for him to protect himself..."Shen Ning suddenly had an idea.

Although I don't know if I can succeed, Shen Ning has to give it a try.

He didn't rest, because he was afraid of delaying time, so he rushed to Runan Wangfu overnight and asked to see Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was sipping tea in the house, looking at the tea soup, he smiled and said: "Tomorrow, you only need to reveal the alliance of the eight kings, and with the emperor's suspicion, you must do it." ”

"Knock knock..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who?" ”

"Sir, Lord Shen Jun beside the prince of the southeast is waiting outside the mansion gate." There was a sound outside the door.

Jia Xu smiled in surprise and said, "I really underestimated him!" ”

If he were someone else, Jia Xu would naturally not be seen, and he would not change his plan. But for some reason, he always had an inexplicable good impression of Shen Ning, just like sympathy.

"See what he has to say!"

After Jia Xu hesitated, he decided to meet.

Shen Ning waited for Jia Xu and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the mansion.

It seems that 70% favorability is still very powerful.

"Late at night, please forgive me. I wonder if Mr. can have time to drink a glass of water and wine? Shen Ning asked.

Since Jia Xu came out, he didn't refuse, "Okay! ”

The two took a car and chatted and found a restaurant.

"There is still an hour before the curfew, and Shen Gongzi should not be looking for me just to have a drink." Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Shen Ning poured wine for him, and then said, "I want to make a bet with Mr." ”

"Oh? Bet? What bet? Jia Xu was stunned, he thought of a variety of speculations, but he never expected it to be a bet.

Shen Ning saw that it aroused his curiosity, so he asked: "Before betting, Mr. thinks that according to your calculations, how long will it be before the Great Jin Dynasty is completely destroyed from the chaos of the world?" ”

"That's a big rebellion!" Jia Xu drank the drink and said with a smile.

Shen Ning smiled: "There are only you and me here, is Mr. afraid that the wall has ears?" If you're worried about me, you don't have to. Because when I say these words, I am already a great rebellion, and I believe that my husband will not say nonsense. ”

Jia Xu nodded, and then stretched out two hands.

"Ten years?" Shen Ning asked

Jia Xu nodded.

Sima Zhou wanted to kill the Eight Kings, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings kicked off the troubled times, but if the Great Jin Dynasty wanted to completely destroy the country, it would take ten years, because the Great Jin Dynasty occupied Yangzhou, and there was still some foundation.

In addition, when the Rebellion of the Eight Kings began, other forces would inevitably use the slogan of King Qin to expand their power while dealing with the Eight Kings. They also need the emperor to give them the title of righteousness, which is very important in this era.

The foreign surname is called the emperor, if there is a Zen edict from Sima Zhou, it is justified, although it is only a piece of paper, but the rules of the game are like this.

Therefore, according to Jia Xu's speculation, if the Great Jin wants to lose the country, it will take ten years at the earliest, or even longer.

Shen Ning stretched out a hand and said, "Sir, ten years is too long, I think five years is enough." ”

"Huh?"

Jia Xu didn't expect Shen Ning to be so confident.
