Chapter 16: The Wind Rises in the Court

The prince left the palace and did not return for a few days, Jia Nanfeng was naturally not worried, but after knowing that he was going out hunting with Liu Yuan, he immediately became furious. Liu Yuan is also a person, who can be appreciated by Emperor Wu as a proton of a foreign race, not only in an important position, but also in the five ministries, with military power in hand and fame. Moreover, after the death of Emperor Wu, he was also reused by Yang Jun, and was appointed as General Jianwei, the governor of the five major capitals, and was knighted as the Marquis of Hanguang.

Jia Nanfeng and Yang Jun are incompatible, how can she allow the prince, who is still a threat to her, to get involved with Liu Yuan? Jia Nanfeng, who was very angry, immediately punished a group of subordinates in the East Palace who were more close to Sima Shu on the grounds of conniving at the prince's departure from the palace, and even the subordinate officials of the East Palace did not let go.

Dealing with the people in the East Palace, Jia Nanfeng's anger calmed down a little, and he also thought quietly, Liu Yuan was afraid, but for many years, he had been working outside, and he had not participated in the bloody wind in the palace, Yang Jun reused him, it was nothing more than that he took a fancy to his talent and wanted to win him over, as for who Liu Yuan ended up with, I am afraid it was not Yang Jun who had the final say.

Prince Sima Shu, this person has been hovering in Jia Nanfeng's mind, she has no mother-son love for this so-called son, and when she kills the people of the Yang family, this son will probably regard her as an enemy, and Jia Nanfeng hates to get rid of it all in order to prevent future troubles. If she has a son under her knees, all this is not a problem, but now Sima Shu is still Sima Zhen's only son, the only heir of the Jin Dynasty, as a mother-in-law, if she wants to be prosperous, rich and safe for a lifetime, then unification with Sima Shu is the only way at present, and even she has to slap him, submit to him, and influence him with the title of "mother", but Jia Nanfeng is unwilling, unwilling to put his future on a hairy boy who can't be trusted.

Jia Nanfeng played with his fingers, his brain was also spinning rapidly, and before he could completely sort out his thoughts, he was interrupted by a rapid voice.

"It's coming, mother, it's coming." The person who came in was Dong Meng, and I saw that his face was full of joy, and he looked at Jia Nanfeng expectantly with a pair of smiling eyes.

"What's wrong?" Jia Nanfeng was quite unhappy when he was interrupted, and he didn't have the heart to observe Dong Meng's happy face, so there was obvious impatience in his voice, which made Dong Meng, who was a little carried away proudly, immediately hang his head.

"Niangniang," Dong Meng tried his best to make his voice appear calm: "Master Li Zhao is back and is waiting outside the hall." ”

When Jia Nanfeng heard this, he immediately stood up, raised his voice and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" He took a few more steps forward: "Please." ”

What Li Zhao brought back was really good news, he took the mission to persuade Sima Liang, the king of Runan, to cooperate with Jia Nanfeng to get rid of Yang Jun, but was refused, and then he went to persuade Sima Wei, the king of Chu. Sima Wei is the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, has been serving as a military general in the fiefdom, and has long had the intention of returning to the dynasty, this time he hit it off with Li Zhao, and wrote to Yang Jun on the same day to ask to return to the dynasty, and Li Zhao took the first step back to the palace to return this great news to Jia Nanfeng.

"Yang Jun is afraid of Sima Wei, and he has long intended to let him return to the dynasty." Jia Nanfeng showed a rare smile: "Come to think of it, the day of removing the Yang family is not far away." ”

Jia Nanfeng estimated well, and as soon as Sima Wei's invitation arrived at the imperial court, Yang Jun happily agreed. Sima Wei has military power in his hands, and he is a legitimate child of the royal family, if he wants to rebel, I am afraid it will be an easy matter, Yang Jun has already thought of calling him back to the court, after all, it is better to rest assured to put such a person under his nose.

After the edict was issued, Yang Jun got up and walked to the West Hall, where Sima Zhen lived. After Yang Jun took power, all the people around the emperor were replaced by his own people, and the edict issued by the emperor must be approved by the queen mother before it can be issued, even if Yang Zhi is unwilling to get involved in his affairs, but he insists on this, the purpose is nothing more than to show his power, let others know that the world is controlled in the hands of his Yang family, he himself is even more openly staying in the Taiji Palace, and replacing all the forbidden army with cronies, this move caused disgust in the court, and even more disgusted by the imperial family, but Yang Jun disagreed, Except for the persuasion of his two younger brothers, he no longer lives in the Taiji Palace, but he still thinks that everything else is not inappropriate.

The west hall where Sima Xin lived was usually quite lively, and he did not care about political affairs, and felt that he was idle and bored, so he did some tricks with his subordinates every day, or summoned some kaki and maiko for him to drink and have fun, and lived a happy life, without knowing what was happening in the court, let alone what these things meant.

Today's West Hall is quite deserted, and there is a yellow door standing in the courtyard, and there is not the slightest sound of laughter inside. Yang Jun was relieved, and after waiting for someone to report, he straightened his clothes at the door before walking inside.

Jia Nanfeng sat on Sima Zhen's side and looked at Yang Jun who came in with great interest.

After saluting, Yang Jun first told the emperor about Sima Wei's invitation to return to the court, and seeing that Sima Zhen did not react, he said: "The king of Chu has been away for many years, and he is very concerned about His Majesty. ”

"This ......" Sima Zhen looked at Yang Jun, then at Jia Nanfeng, then at Yang Jun, and finally locked his eyes on Jia Nanfeng. Although Yang Jun is in charge of the power of the court, Sima Zhen also understands that Yang Jun is a foreign minister, and since he is a foreign minister, he must always be afraid of him as an emperor regardless of face or inside, and he is always deferential when he meets. But Jia Nanfeng is different, she is an insider, she is a powerful insider, and if she didn't follow her wishes, the face oozing frost made Sima Zhen's legs and stomach tremble a little.

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Yang Jun, the smug look was completely on his face, Jia Nanfeng looked uncomfortable, sighed slightly, and said: "It is the rule set by the first emperor that the vassal king guards the fief, if the king of Chu is allowed to come back like this, how can the rest of the vassal kings explain?" ”

"Now that Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and the King of Chu has rich experience in leading troops, which can be reused." Yang Jun raised his eyes and looked at Sima Zhen for a moment, and then seemed to glance at Jia Nanfeng with white eyes, hesitated slightly, and said: "What's more, in this Luoyang City, it is better to have more yang energy." ”

This is clearly for Jia Nanfeng. This made Jia Nanfeng angry, is it you Yang Jun or me Jia Nanfeng who is in charge of the government now? Now in Luoyang City, should there be more manly anger or more surname Sima, in case of the dictatorship of foreign relatives?

Jia Nanfeng couldn't bear it, and said to Sima Zhen: "Lord Yang has said this, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to say more, but whether to let the King of Chu enter the court, I am afraid that Lord Yang has already made a decision, if the edict has been issued, why do you need to come to this Taiji Hall in one more move?" ”

Sima Zhen immediately patted Jia Nanfeng, smiled at Yang Jun again, and said, "Why don't the queen worry about such a trivial matter, if the Taifu has made a decision, just listen to him." Besides, I haven't seen my fifth brother for many years, so it's good to see each other, or to see each other. ”

Jia Nanfeng stopped talking with a calm face, Yang Jun is authoritarian, he has always made his own decisions when he has something, he is interested in telling the emperor, and the emperor doesn't even know if he is not interested, sometimes she Jia Nanfeng wants to arrange a person or arrange a thing, the emperor has issued an edict but the queen mother has to agree to it, although Yang Zhi has never felt sorry for her, but this humiliation is really difficult for her to swallow. She already has an ugly face, and the facial features of her whole face can be twisted together when she is angry, Sima Zhen has always been afraid of this queen, and when she saw that the queen seemed to be angry, she immediately comforted her: "Or, or not, or we won't let him come?" This younger brother has been gone for a long time, and he doesn't see him, he doesn't see him. ”

"The order is changed overnight, is it the Ming Jun's doing?" Jia Nanfeng just couldn't get used to Yang Jun's smug appearance, the King of Chu was called by her, how could she really oppose it, not to mention that in addition to Yang Jun, she still had to rely on the King of Chu, she suppressed her anger and said: "Your two brothers haven't seen each other for many years, it's good to see each other." ”

Sima Zhen immediately smiled, and the chicken nodded as if pecking rice, and said, "The queen is reasonable." ”

"The queen is the master of the harem, and she should share the worries of His Majesty." Yang Jun spoke again: "Although the crown prince is not your own child, he is the future lord of my Jin Dynasty, and you, as your mother-in-law, should also care more about Your Highness." Yang Jun let out a long sigh and continued: "After the first emperor left, you put His Royal Highness's mother under house arrest, I'm afraid it is not the belly that the queen should have. There is also the Queen Mother, and the Queen should also serve diligently. ”

Jia Nanfeng saw that Yang Jun had to find his own fault in everything, and he couldn't hold back, so he said: "Since Lord Yang persuaded Gu to take care of the harem, how should this harem ask Lord Yang to worry less." ”

Seeing that Jia Nanfeng was angry again, Sima Zhen glared at Yang Jun in annoyance, and hurriedly said: "The queen cares about the prince, I know it, and besides, there are subordinate officials in the East Palace, so the prince really doesn't have to worry." ”

"It's the minister's overthinking." Yang Jun got up as he spoke, glanced at Jia Nanfeng with a smile on his face, and then hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Sima Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, since he ascended the throne, Jia Nanfeng has not dealt with Yang Jun, and this discord has been put on the table, which really makes him embarrassed. He knew that Jia Nanfeng would help him ascend to the throne, so he trusted Jia Nanfeng and was a little afraid of her. As for Yang Jun, it was left by the first emperor to help him work, and he didn't understand and didn't want to understand the things in the court, so he did rely on Yang Jun. So every time the two of them look at each other unpleasantly, he can only live in the mud and compensate for the smile.

Yang Jun left, Sima Zhen hurriedly walked up to Jia Nanfeng with a smile, and said: "A group of Kabuki came to the palace today, saying that they came from the west, the songs are good, and the dances are good, you don't usually love these, but today Taifu made you unhappy, and you may be happy when you look at these." ”

Jia Nanfeng frowned and looked at Sima Zhen, this fool was full of smiles, and the fat on his chin looked greasy in one place, Jia Nanfeng waved his hand in annoyance, leaving the word "don't look" and went back to his Xianyang Palace.
