Chapter 252: The Great Jin Dynasty is in turmoil

Sima Tan to restore the genealogy is not very easy to do, when the king of the East China Sea will do this matter well, after Sima Tan "died", he informed the clan that Sima Tan died of illness, in addition to his name in the genealogy crossed out, did not inherit any bloodline for his branch, at the same time, also built a tomb for him, inside is lying "Sima Qin" and his people.

Although Sima Qin used to be the crown prince, but he was too young at that time, and he didn't open a mansion, not many people have seen him, plus the child has grown up fast in recent years, and his appearance has completely changed, don't talk about the prince of the Sima family in the fiefdom, even these princes in the capital, and they have not been able to testify to Sima Qin that he is the former Sima Tan, he is not dead, he is still alive.

Even if Sima Chi and Yang Xianrong can prove that he is Sima Qin, but these two worked together to capture the king of the East China Sea, and now they are in power, who knows what their purpose is when they suddenly conjure up a child and say that it is the former prince? So when Sima Chi said among the clan princes that he wanted to restore Sima Tan's genealogy and restore his identity, he was strongly opposed. These old decays can't fight wars, and they can't handle court affairs, but they attach great importance to the bloodline, how can the royal bloodline, especially the royal bloodline that is to be established by the emperor as the prince, be blasphemous?

Sima Chi and the princes have been wrestling with each other for a month, but they have not convinced these old antiques, and there is no tangible evidence to prove that Sima Qin is still alive, so they will never believe that Sima Qin is still alive.

"Didn't you say he had an edict of succession on him?" Sima Chi said to Yang Xianrong: "Let him take it out, the first emperor wrote it himself, and no one will question it anymore, right?" ”

Yang Xianrong quickly vetoed this proposal, the edict of succession is true, but now that the edict is taken out, it may lead to some turmoil, the Jin Dynasty has just settled down, and it can no longer be made a fuss about this matter by people with intentions. Besides, after so many years, if someone questioned Sima Chi's throne, the matter would be even more embarrassing.

Fu Sima Qin's position was temporarily at an impasse, and Yang Xianrong was not in a hurry at this time, so he simply put the matter on hold for the time being. There is still something to deal with at the moment, after the king of the East China Sea was imprisoned, he was depressed, Sima Chi had not yet decided what to do with him, he actually died of illness.

As soon as the king of the East China Sea died, how to bury him became a troublesome matter. Sima Chi was tired of this man and did not want him to be buried in Luoyang, so an edict was issued to send him back to the East China Sea for burial. While arranging this, Shi Le, the general of the Han army, led his troops to suddenly attack Jiangxia, and he first captured Xincai and killed Sima Qu, the king of Xincai, and then captured Xuchang.

Xuchang was already very close to Luoyang, and for a while, there was an uproar, and the entire Luoyang City was panicked.

"There are only two things that can soothe people today." Yang Xianrong said: "One is to send troops to resist Shi Le's invasion, and the other is to establish a prince, who is the foundation of the country. If it is difficult for Sima Tan to restore the position of the clan, forget it, and then choose one person from the children of the Sima family to establish a prince, time is pressing. ”

It was easy to send troops, but Shile's army won several battles in a row, and at this time the morale was high, and they kept clamoring to take Luoyang and capture Emperor Jin alive. Under such pressure, the Jin army was frightened, and when they heard that they were going to fight again, there were few people who were willing to go to the front line, and even if they were forced to go to the front, they would probably be more than lucky.

"It's better to send troops in the name of escorting the King of the East China Sea back to Luoyang." Yang Xianrong suggested: "Sending 100,000 soldiers and horses, ostensibly for funeral, is actually to defend against foreign enemies, one is to relax the other party's vigilance, and the other is to make the soldiers less afraid." It's just that the generals have to choose well, and how to mobilize the soldiers in the face of the enemy is the most important thing. ”

Sima Chi thought so, but who to choose as the general has become a headache, the people in the court and the central government elected the general Wang Yan as the commander, who expected Wang Yan to think that it was impossible to win this expedition, so he simply refused to accept it, and recommended Sima Fan as the commander, but Sima Fan felt that he did not have the surprise of commanding the battle, and did not dare to be the commander.

Several people are arguing in the court, no one is willing to give in, Sima Chi looked at such a court, and he was also disheartened for a while, for the ministers only for their own interests, and for the generals they were greedy for life and afraid of death, how many cold receptions could he withstand with his only enthusiasm at present?

In the end, Sima Chi slapped the board and issued an order in court to lead an army of 100,000 with Sima Fan, the king of Xiangyang, and Wang Yangong as the generals, and escort the coffin of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, back to the East China Sea.

A few days later, just as these people left Luoyang in a mighty way, the matter of establishing the prince was put on the agenda again, although Sima Qin was excluded, but his younger brother, Sima Quan, who was also the son of King Yuzhang, was made the prince. This prince was in a hurry, not to mention that although this Sima Quan was less than two years younger than Sima Tan, but the two were very different, Sima Quan was not good at reading since he was a child, and the biggest pleasure every day was to play tricks on people, so that now he is a teenager, except for all kinds of naughty mischief, he can't recognize a basket of big characters.

The reason why he chose such a person as the prince, Sima Chi thought very clearly, he naturally still belonged to Sima Tan, such a thing that the mud can't support the wall, it doesn't matter if he scraps his storage position, not to mention that now Luoyang City is in crisis again, once the city is really broken, the prince will inevitably be in danger, and it is better to die a waste person than to die a person who is still useful to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Soon, Shi Le knew that the 100,000 army escorted the king of the East China Sea back to the East China Sea, he was a straight gut, and he didn't think about the truth of this matter at all, so he immediately brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to chase over, with 20,000 against 100,000, it seemed that the Jin army had a 100% chance of winning, who would have thought that as soon as they saw Shi Le's army, they were immediately frightened, and they shrank up and did not dare to move.

So in Kuxian and Ningping City, Shi Le asked the cavalry to surround the 100,000 horses, and then shot them with arrows, and the 100,000 soldiers were all annihilated, Sima Fan was killed, and Wang Yan was captured. Let's read books

Shi Le saw Sima Yue's coffin and said, "This person is in turmoil, and I want to avenge the people of the world." Then, he ordered Sima Yue's coffin to be burned. Then he looked at Wang Yan and the others who were captured alive, and was about to order these people to be executed, Wang Yan immediately knelt on the ground and said: "General, please listen to me, you are strong in martial arts, you are a genius in leading troops, and the soldiers below you listen to you, why do you want to fight the world for others, it is better to build the country and become the emperor yourself, and no longer rely on others, isn't it happy?" ”

Shi Le sneered and glanced at Wang Yan, he had a rough background, he was sold as a slave in his early years, and then took refuge in the general Gongshi Domain of Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and only after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings did he take refuge in Liu Yuan. He is strong and courageous, strong and loves to ride and shoot, so he is quite valued by Liu Yuan, he is also very hard-working, and has made meritorious contributions in the Han Kingdom, so after Liu Yuan's death, he was reused by Liu Cong, and he was named the general of the expedition to the east, and the history of the state assassin, and the prince of Ji County.

Shi Le was ambitious, but at this time, he did not have the idea of betraying the Han State, and although he listened to Wang Yan's words in his heart, he still ordered him to be killed.

The news of the defeat of the 100,000 army soon reached Luoyang, and this 100,000 army was almost the last main army of the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Chi was so drunk that he finally took over the ruling power, but so what? This battered Jin Dynasty is already stormy, can not withstand a little wind and waves, no matter how ambitious he is, now he is like a lamb to the slaughter, guarding this undefended Luoyang City, waiting for the enemy army to break through the city gate.

When Yang Xianrong rushed to the Taiji Palace, he saw Sima Chi holding it in one hand, holding a chopstick in the other, tapping the plate and bowl with the chopstick, humming a tune from nowhere, complaining tactfully, and expressing the melancholy in his heart.

Suddenly, Sima Chi saw Yang Xianrong, he staggered to her side, and said, "Sister-in-law is here?" ”

"Why does Your Majesty drink so much wine?" Yang Xianrong didn't care about the etiquette at this time, sat down with Sima Chi, and asked, "Why is there no one to take care of Your Majesty?" ”

"People? Where else is there anybody? Sima Chi said with a smile: "It's all dead, our Great Jin Dynasty doesn't even have a person who can fight, and the country is ruined." Sima Chi stopped as he spoke, sat there woodenly, and suddenly shouted again for a while: "It's too fast, it's too fast, do you understand?" If you give me another year, just one year, I will also have a way to save a few points of the situation, at least I will not let the Jin Dynasty lose so embarrassed. There is no one left, no one can guard the world of my Sima family. How absurd, how absurd! ”

Yang Xianrong was a little sad when she listened to Sima Chi's lamentation, she grew up and almost watched how the city of Luoyang went from a prosperous city to depression step by step, and now it is close to destruction. She can't bear it, this is her home.

"Run." Yang Xianrong said with difficulty: "Leaving Luoyang, as long as Your Majesty is still there, I am not afraid that I will not be able to make a comeback, and sooner or later, this Luoyang City will be able to come back." ”

"Run?" Sima Chi looked at Yang Xianrong blankly: "Where did you flee?" ”

"Go to Chang'an first, and then make other plans." Yang Xianrong persuaded: "When you leave Luoyang, it is important to save your life." ”

Sima Chi was stunned for a long time and asked, "Then, what about my sister-in-law?" ”

"I want to stay in Luoyang." Yang Xianrong said lightly.

"Heh," Sima Chi smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes, I forgot that my sister-in-law had an appointment with someone a long time ago, but if I leave Luoyang, I will really be alone." ”

"Take Sima Qin away." Yang Xianrong said: "He is your nephew, your favorite heir, take him away, if you can come back, everything will be fine." If things really come to the point where there is no return, you let him go, he and Liu Yao are like father and son, and the Han army will not embarrass him. ”

"Sister-in-law, I want to do it for that man?" Sima Chi asked hesitantly, "Can you guarantee that he still remembers your agreement and won't embarrass you?" ”

Yang Xianrong nodded affirmatively: "I believe him." ”
