Sima Wei, the king of Chu, has not yet returned to the fiefdom, but Sima Liang, the king of Runan, has come to Luoyang. When it comes to seniority, Sima Wei should call Sima Liang a grandfather, he is now the highest in the royal family, and his prestige is also the highest, originally Sima Liang was unwilling to participate in this power struggle, but now Sima Wei is gradually getting bigger, and colluding with Jia Nanfeng, Sima Liang is not at ease, so he dragged his aging body and hurried to the capital.

Sima Wei rushed to the palace the first moment he learned the news, he went straight to the Xianyang Palace, and regardless of the identity of the monarch and the etiquette of his uncle and sister-in-law, after seeing Jia Nanfeng, he pointed directly at her and asked: "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Sima Wei and said lightly, "What are you anxious about?" As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Sima Wei to sit down.

Sima Wei was in a rage for a while, how could he pay attention to Jia Nanfeng's light breeze, he stomped his feet irritably: "Whose credit does the queen think is it to get rid of the Yang family?" Now do you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey? Although I, Sima Wei, am just a little king, I have never been afraid of anyone, and if the queen is unkind, I will not blame me for being unjust. ”

Jia Nanfeng frowned, and said unhappily: "If the King of Chu's words are spread......

"Pass it out?" Sima Wei's eyes widened: "Does the queen want to drive me away or kill me?" ”

"You're too impatient, what are you doing here?" Jia Nanfeng is not a good-tempered master, and enduring the King of Chu for a long time is just to give him a face or two, but Sima Wei is unwilling to accept this love, and he is aggressive and disrespectful, which also makes her heart angry. Just now, Sima Wei's shouting was spread and the accusation that their uncle and sister-in-law colluded and murdered important ministers of the court was confirmed, not to mention that Sima Wei looked like he was going to rebel, although Yang Jun is dead, there are many people in the court who are eyeing them, and some people make a fuss about this matter, and Jia Nanfeng will have a headache for a while.

Jia Nanfeng was proud, and he didn't want to cause some headaches, so he glanced at Sima Wei angrily: "You sit better." ”

Sima Wei sat on the side angrily, took the tea that had been cold and drank it all, raised his hand to wipe the tea on his beard, put the tea cup on the small table in front of him, and continued to look at Jia Nanfeng with an unkind gaze, Jia Nanfeng understood the meaning of this gaze, and asked her for an explanation.

"Why did Yang Jun allow you to return to the court?" Jia Nanfeng asked.

"Naturally, it's ......" Sima Wei was stunned in his heart, and seemed to understand Jia Nanfeng's intentions. Sima Wei has a side of power outside, which makes Yang Jun jealous. Now Sima Liang also has a force outside, which also makes Jia Nanfeng jealous. Sima Wei frowned: "King Runan is a royal family, and his prestige is extremely high, I'm afraid you can't monitor it, what's more, you still want to drive me away, with your own strength, you can deal with that old fox?" ”

"Did you say something to let you go?" Jia Nanfeng looked directly at Sima Wei: "When did Lone say that he was going to spy on King Runan?" ”

Jia Nanfeng's eyes were sharp and ruthless, seeing Sima Wei's hairs standing up, he immediately understood Jia Nanfeng's intentions, but a chill also rose from the bottom of his heart, this woman's ambition is so great that she can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes.

After Sima Wei left, Jia Nanfeng sat down for a long time without speaking, Dong Meng knew that his master was thinking about things, so he didn't bother, and asked someone to accept the tea cup left by Sima Wei, and stood quietly aside.

"Dong Meng," Jia Nanfeng suddenly spoke: "King Chu and his people, what do you think?" ”

"This ......" Dong Meng thought for a moment, and replied cautiously: "The king of Chu is the bloodline of the first emperor, young and promising, and now his reputation in the court is growing, and it is said that he also has a good reputation among the people......

Before Dong Meng finished speaking, Jia Nanfeng snorted coldly: "Buying the hearts of the people is what he is used to." As for the court, this man was tyrannical in nature, and formulated many harsh laws, not so much that everyone respected him, but that everyone was afraid of him. ”

Dong Meng bowed slightly: "Everyone is afraid of him, but no one may dare to oppose him." ”

"Why do you think Lone let Sima Liang enter Beijing?" Jia Nanfeng stood up slowly, gently moved his legs and feet, which were a little numb from sitting for a long time, before saying: "Sima Wei favors Gongsun Hong and Qi Sheng, these two people have a bad reputation, and they have a lot of disagreements with Wei Qiang. Wei Qian thinks he is upright and ......" Jia Nanfeng sneered: "He is now in the official residence of Taibao, why not let him be beautiful for two more days?" ”

Jia Nanfeng is narrow-minded, and the people he hates, except for those who block his bright path, are the people who have offended him, and Wei Qian is the latter. Wei Qian used to be the prince's concubine, that is, Sima Zhen's teacher when he was the prince, but Sima Zhen was stupid, and the courtiers felt that another prince should be appointed, and Wei Qian, as a teacher, not only did not help Sima Zhen, but also insinuated that he would set up another prince after being drunk, and this word reached Jia Nanfeng's ears and attracted her resentment.

And what Wei Qian doesn't like even more is that he is upright, now it is a troubled time, those who do nothing seek peace in a lifetime, and those who are busy fighting for power and profit, but the word integrity is particularly in the way. Jia Nanfeng doesn't like people who get in the way.

Dong Meng nodded, and understood what the queen mother meant, so he retreated. Jia Nanfeng paced outside the hall, it was already summer, the warm sun was shining, and the blue sky was cloudless.

Not long ago, Sima Liang entered Beijing, as the old prince with the highest rank in the Sima family, Sima Liang's movement into Beijing is not small, too much to protect the emperor at the behest of the palace outside the palace to greet, when the old prince settled down in the house, the officials who came to visit were endless, everyone knew that Sima Liang entered Beijing this time, is to rectify the dynasty.

Sure enough, after Sima Liang entered the palace to face the saint, he was appointed as Dazai, and together with Tai Baobao, he assisted the government and recorded the affairs of the book.

Sima Liang's pride aroused Sima Wei's jealousy, he was the son of the first emperor, but he was thrown outside because he was not the eldest son, and he had to protect the throne of that stupid brother. Now he finally returned to the capital and made contributions, but he was robbed of his position because of his seniority, and he was extremely unwilling.

What Sima Wei didn't expect was that the first thing Sima Liang wanted to do when he entered Beijing was to drive him back to the fiefdom, saying that he was a vassal king who had been in the capital for a long time to cause people to discuss, and there were many military and political affairs in the fief waiting for him to deal with.

Sima Wei did not move, Sima Liang actually openly raised the matter in the court, asking the Manchu ministers to discuss the matter of the king of Chu leaving Beijing in court, the Manchu Dynasty was still discerning, forced by Sima Wei's pressure, no one dared to express an opinion on this matter, and when the stalemate was deadlocked, Wei Qian stood up and expressed his support for Sima Liang's proposal, asking Sima Wei to return to the fief quickly.

Until this time, Sima Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't even care that he was in the capital, so he scolded loudly in the mansion: "The merit is my work, and the blessing should be enjoyed by him, how can it be reasonable." And that Wei Qiang, relying on his old age to do whatever he wants, old horseman! ”

Qi Sheng comforted him on the side: "The prince is angry, and the more happy the king of Runan is, the more unpopular he is?" ”

Sima Wei frowned and looked at Qi Sheng, he understood what he meant, Jia Nanfeng's words had been said very clearly that day, and now he was just missing a reason.

"That Wei Qian is really annoying," Qi Sheng said again: "Keep an eye on the lowly position and Gongsun Hong, according to what the lowly position can see, they just saw that the prince was reluctant to move, so they wanted to start with the two of us." ”

While the two were talking, Gongsun Hong walked in from outside, and said after a little salute: "I just received the news that Wei Qian wants to arrest me and Qi Sheng, I'm afraid I'm already ready." ”

When Sima Wei heard this, he was so angry that he overturned the ground in front of him, and the tea cup on it rolled to the ground and shattered.

"Lord Wang, without further ado." Qisheng Road.

Sima Wei got up angrily and said to Qi Sheng and Gongsun Hong: "You go to Li Zhao and ask him to play the queen, Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and the Tai Baowei to abolish the matter, please deal with it as soon as possible." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they immediately took the order and left.

Li Zhao's secret music was in the hands of Jia Nanfeng, and she immediately asked Sima Zhen to order Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, to be stationed at the gates of each palace, and at the same time abolish Sima Liang's position as Dazai and Wei Qian's position as Taibao, and handed over the edict to Sima Wei's hands at night.

Sima Wei was overjoyed, ordered the army of his headquarters, and forged an edict to summon the 36th Army, and wrote a handwritten order to tell the armies that Sima Liang and Wei Qian were wrong, in a vain attempt to depose the emperor, and asked the armies to assist the court in arresting the traitors.

In the middle of the night, Gongsun Hong and Li Zhao led their men and horses to surround Sima Liang's mansion. The incident happened suddenly, Sima Liang was unguarded, even if his subordinates persuaded him to resist, he still refused to believe that the people who came to arrest him. After a while, Gongsun Hong sent people to climb the wall and shouted: "Your Majesty has a will, take down Sima Liang immediately." ”

At this time, Sima Liang still refused to believe it, he walked into the courtyard with his head held high, and shouted to the sergeant who had already climbed the wall: "I, Sima Liang, have no second heart for the imperial court, why is it so?" ”

As he was talking, the gate of Sima Liang's mansion was knocked open by people outside with a giant log, Gongsun Hong walked in with a holy decree in his hand, followed by Li Zhao and two soldiers, Gongsun Hong pointed at Sima Liang and said: "The holy purpose is here, please don't resist, please don't resist, just tie your hands and arrest it." ”

Gongsun Hong is Sima Wei's person, and because of his bad morality, he is quite incompatible with Sima Liang's eyes, at this time he broke in with the holy decree, Sima Liang didn't believe that the emperor wanted to arrest him, he glared at Gongsun Hong angrily, and said loudly: "Even if Your Majesty wants to take me, I will also die to understand, and please ask Gongsun to let the old man see the holy decree." ”

"There's no need for this, Lord Wang" Gongsun Hong took a step back: "Even if it's a holy decree, how can it be fake?" ”

Seeing this scene, the generals around Sima Liang were all furious, and one of them stepped forward and said to Sima Liang: "Lord Wang, there must be fraud in this matter, the handsome people in your house are like a forest, and they can still resist, as long as they can rush out to meet Your Majesty, the matter will be understood, and you must not fall for the traitor's plan." ”

Sima Liang waved his hand and said to the people in front of him: "My loyalty can be dissected to show the people of the world, but I want to see who dares to be so unreasonable and kill innocent people in vain." ”

"Lord Wang......" Seeing Sima Liang's refusal to resist, the generals were all anxious and wanted to persuade in unison.

"It doesn't have to be this way." Sima Liang stopped the people around him, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Gongsun Hong.

Sima Liang's fearlessness made Gongsun Hong a little nervous, he unconsciously moved his steps back, glanced back at Li Zhao, and for a while, hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard, but no one dared to make a sound. Seeing this, the people in the house moved out a chair and helped Sima Liang sit down, and someone took a fan to fan Sima Liang to blow the wind.

"The old man is old, he can't be tired, and he can't get hot, so I ask Lord Gongsun to forgive me." Sima Liang said faintly, he looked up at the sky, and said, "It's almost dawn." ”
