"Shame, shame!"

"I think back then, Emperor Xuan's father and son destroyed Shu and captured Wei, and the divine power was overwhelming. Emperor Wu practiced Zuo and swept Sun Wu to dominate the world, how majestic is this? Even if it was the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the shaking of Kyushu, Emperor Yuan also stepped forward and refused to live in the Yangtze River, and protected the society in the left ...... of the river."

"The Great Jin Dynasty passed into my hands, where one hundred and twenty years, a full one hundred and twenty years! You are all high-ranking family members, family members, which family, which surname is not Shishi Jinlu? Which family and surname is not Jiumu Huangen? ”

In the Jiankang Palace, above the wide and solemn court, Sima Yao stood in front of the high dragon chair, holding a letter in one hand, and pointing to the civil and military ministers below with the other, reprimanding loudly, as if crazy.

"Everyone in the world says that my Dajin is a 'top-grade and uncold door', don't you really know what you did in private! You want power, you want money, and I will satisfy you. I only hope that if I feed you, you can devote yourself to national affairs and ensure that my country is safe. But what have you done over the years? ”

While speaking, Sima Yao threw down the letter in his hand that had been crumpled into a ball, and roared: "Thirty years ago, the Fu clan took advantage of the Shi Zhao Rebellion to steal Guanzhong. The so-called Qin Dynasty was just a larger rogue at that time. However, because of the incompetence of the others, in just thirty years, the Qin Dynasty has become bigger and bigger, and now it has even deceived me. ”

The ministers below were all silent, bowing their heads one by one. They can also guess the reason for the emperor's anger, nine times out of ten, it is because of the conditions that the emperor put forward when he negotiated peace. However, these ministers were not very panicked in their hearts, they all knew that even if the emperor was angry, he could only scold the big guy, and he couldn't really do anything to the family. The ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were basically all from the family of scholars, and they had little reverence for the emperor.

"You are incompetent, you can't defeat the Qin Dynasty, and you will cause me to compromise the Great Jin Dynasty and negotiate peace with the Qin people. Do you know what conditions the Qin Dynasty proposed? The Qin Dynasty wants me to surrender, I want to surrender! They want to force me to be the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and bow to the puppet emperor Fu Jian! ”

Sima Yao cried in a low voice as he spoke. For him, if the title of emperor that the ancestors of the Sima clan had worked so hard to obtain was to end in his hands, it would be a great shame.

At this time, the paper ball that had just been thrown by Sima Yao also rolled down the steps to the bottom of the main hall, and finally stopped at the feet of an old man standing in the first row.

This old man is Xie An, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty.

Xie An's eyelids twitched, he bent down to pick up the paper ball, and slowly opened it.

"King Langya sent a letter, the Qin Dynasty put forward conditions, asking His Majesty the Emperor to demote the title of Heavenly King."

As Xie An's words fell, a minister anxiously asked, "Do you just want Your Majesty to lower your name?" Prime Minister, what other conditions did Tyranny put forward? Have you asked me to be a minister? ”

Whether to be a minister or not, this is the issue that the ministers of the Jin Dynasty are most concerned about. As long as the Jin Dynasty can maintain its independence, then whether it is land reparations or demotion, these ministers actually don't care. As long as the Jin Dynasty can be independent, they can still be powerful behind closed doors, and their family will be able to survive for generations; But if the Jin Dynasty is a vassal to the Qin Dynasty, then Jiangzuo will become the land of the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty will definitely abolish the privileges of the family and send officials to govern the place. Want to be a nominal vassal and actually independent? does not exist, a hat of "impure ministers" is buttoned down, and Qianliang is a model for the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie An shook his head and said, "The Qin Dynasty requires the border to maintain the status quo, hand over Zhu Xuan, and His Majesty to lower the title, and there will be no other conditions." I have never been asked to be a minister. ”

"Poof!"

There was a noise in the corner of the main hall, followed by the smell of urine and stench. I saw a minister sitting on the ground, trembling and sweating, his face was snow-white, and he was already dripping with feces and urine.

No need to ask, he is naturally Zhu Xuan.

But no one noticed him at this time, and the courtiers were all overjoyed, whispering in groups. It was clear that everyone was very happy with the outcome of the negotiations.

"King Langya is really a genius!"

"Wonderful, King Langya is worthy of being the pillar of the country. This and, well discussed! ”

"Our Great Jin Dynasty not only doesn't have to be a vassal, but even the land compensation is waived, which is really excellent!"

"Hahaha, when King Langya returns, this official will definitely ask King Langya to suck five stones, King Langya is really a hero!"

"Oh, Master Mu, this kind of good thing like sucking five stones, remember to count me in!"

Not only was Zhu Yao's life and death ignored by these courtiers, but even Sima Yao's dignity was selectively ignored by the ministers at this moment. Today's Dajin court has long been decayed, and there may still be a few people with lofty ideals in the government and the opposition, but the vast majority of officials are corpses and vegetarians. These people are generally insiders and outsiders, who only pay attention to the interests of the family and do not think about the dignity of the country.

Looking at the clown-like ministers, Sima Yao's face became more and more heavy.

"Bang!"

Sima Yao slammed his fist on the imperial case, ignoring the blood flowing from his fist, and scolded loudly: "You, do you still have this monarch in your eyes? Golden gourd warrior, go to the temple! ”

"No!"

Only the thunderous sound of the promise was heard, and two rows of golden gourd warriors rushed into the court, these warriors were also wearing gilt armor, and their outfits were very similar to those of Qianqin's armed class.

The leading golden gourd warrior arched his hand towards Sima Yao, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" ”

"Drag these bastards down, depose the scholars, beat the fifty boards, and then send them to prison." Sima Yao sneered, and pointed out a few ministers who were smiling the most.

As the ministers cried and shouted their mothers and were dragged down the palace by the gourd warriors, the courtiers finally came back to their senses from their joy.

This emperor's demotion has no effect on the big guy, but it is a great shame for His Majesty! Everyone was excited just now, but they forgot about this, how can they laugh out loud at this time?

Looking at the golden gourd warriors on both sides, the courtiers suddenly came to their senses, and they were all shocked into a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to talk to each other anymore. Although it is impossible for His Majesty to clean up the family, if he is really angry, it is not impossible to pick a few unpleasant ministers to clean up. No one wants to learn from those unlucky people who have just been dragged down.

Looking at Xie An again, I saw Xie An motionless, squinting slightly, as if he was pretending to sleep. Xie An did not participate in the cheers of the courtiers before. The ministers are full of admiration in their hearts, otherwise the surname Xie can be the prime minister, we can't be the prime minister, people will figure out the sacred heart, know when to laugh and when not to laugh!

After arresting a few people to vent their anger, the court meeting will continue. After a long time, Sima Yao spoke: "The peace conditions proposed by Tyranny Qin are known to all Aiqing. Let's talk about what to do now. ”

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen, if you agree to the conditions proposed by Tyranny Qin, our dynasty will not suffer." A minister came out of the class and said that this person was white-haired, it was Wang Manzhi, and it was this person who ordered the Langya Wang clan to withdraw from the battlefield of Huashui. Wang Fuzhi looked up and secretly looked at Sima Yao's face, and saw that Sima Yao seemed to have a tendency to get angry again, so he hurriedly added: "Your Majesty Mingjian, since ancient times, the king of heaven is the emperor, and the emperor is the king of heaven, there is no difference between the two. Calling the King of Heaven does not change His Majesty's reverence. ”

What Wang Manzhi said is true, since ancient times, the king of heaven is indeed equal to the emperor. Of course, about the fact that the word "Heavenly King" began to deteriorate from the Later Zhao period, Wang Manzhi selectively forgot about it.

"What Lord Wang said is very true, and the minister seconded it."

"The minister also seconded the proposal, the king of heaven is equivalent to the emperor, and the condition of tyrannical Qin is equivalent to not mentioning it."

"Seconded! Your Majesty is just changing the title of the emperor, in fact, it can't be downgraded. ”

The ministers also came out one after another, echoing Wang Manzhi's words. Now these ministers are afraid that Sima Yao will have a good face, and they refuse to negotiate peace for the sake of this title. How could you miss such a good peace condition? Sacrificing Your Majesty, what a good thing it is to be happy and prosperous!

The courtiers continued to advise: "Your Majesty, look, didn't the puppet emperor Fu Jian also call the Heavenly King back then, even if you change your name to the Heavenly King, you will not be inferior to him." ”

Sima Yao said angrily: "The puppet emperor said that he wanted to change his name to the king of heaven, but he turned his head and sealed the queen and the crown prince, and restored the title of emperor. But now Tyrannical Qin has made it clear that my queen will be renamed queen, and my crown prince will also be called what bullshit young king, how can I endure this? ”

This is actually a misunderstanding, in Pei Shengqin's memory, the heir of the ancient Chinese Heavenly King was originally called the Young Heavenly King, so he casually proposed this title when negotiating peace. It's just that Pei Shengqin didn't know that "Young Heavenly King" was a name invented by Hong Xiuquan, the Taiping Heavenly King in the Qing Dynasty, and there was actually no such word in the Jin Dynasty. In Sima Yao's view, Tyrannical Qin coined the nondescript word "Young Heavenly King", which was obviously insulting him.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the name of the Young Heavenly King is also very good, much better than the crown prince."

"Yes, yes, the minister also thinks so, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely like this title."

The ministers continued to persuade Sima Yao.

Xie An still didn't speak, he silently looked at the bureaucrats in the court, like a crowd eating melons. He knew in his heart that Sima Yao was just venting his anger now, and when he was done, Sima Yao would finally agree to this peace condition.

As a powerful minister, Xie An has been fighting with the emperor for many years, and he is the person who knows the emperor best. His Majesty, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, has great ambitions, and in order to protect the country, it is nothing for him to suffer some humiliation.

Sure enough, after a long stalemate, Sima Yao said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister Xie, in your opinion, what should be done in this matter?" ”

Xie Anxin sneered, this goddamn dead emperor, and now he still wants to take the blame? If I say yes, then won't this hat of losing power and humiliating the country be thrown on my head Xie An in the future?

Xie An buried his head and said loudly: "The old minister resolutely supports Your Majesty, and respectfully asks Your Majesty to make a holy judgment." ”

Sima Yao saw that Xie An, this old thing, was not fooled, and there was nothing he could do, and he couldn't find someone to dump the pot, so he could only carry it himself.

"Let's go, go back to King Langya, just do what the people of the Qin Dynasty say."
