Chapter 197: Asking the Prince to Open a Mansion
As soon as the impeachment of Yang Ting ended, Sima Yue received a letter that made him extremely angry, and the thing he asked was to let Sima Qin, the prince of the East Palace, open the mansion. The so-called opening of the palace is to let Sima Tan in addition to starting to study government affairs in the court, but also have the power to choose his own subordinate officials, can cultivate a group of people for their own use, these people and the prince achieve each other, they assist the prince, on the contrary, they have also become princelings, and the prince is a powerful minister after assisting the prince to ascend the throne as the emperor. Sima Qin is almost fourteen years old, and he has indeed reached the age of opening the palace, but in the eyes of Sima Yue, this proposal is that someone wants to treat him badly, and he began to pin his hopes on the prince, in order to overthrow his auxiliary position one day.
For Sima Qin, although Sima Lun took precautions, he didn't take it too seriously, Huangkou was just a child, he had his own plans, and he was also realizing his plans step by step, Sima Qin was just a pawn in his plan, he could not only let him ascend to the throne of the prince, but also make him useless. However, it is another matter if there are people in the court who support him, not to mention what the purpose of these people is, he cannot tolerate the fact that his mind is not on him.
Sima Yue temporarily pressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, he could feel that from the beginning of the impeachment of Yang Ting, there were people who instigated to oppose him, on the surface, the person who instigated was Chu Ren, but he is now unofficial and has no character, and with the residual prestige, he will not get so many people's responses, so there must be someone behind him who instigates, who is this person, he needs to be arrested to feel at ease. He swept through the possible people in his mind, but in the end he still failed to lock on to the target, so he became more and more anxious.
Sure enough, as Sima Yue expected, the matter of letting Sima Qin open the mansion was mentioned one after another, but after a few days, these invited scripts were spread all over Sima Yue's desk. After the wedding, Sima Qin will be an adult, and he should regain his own power when he becomes an adult.
After a few days of hard work, not only did the court spread the words of Sima Qin to open the mansion, but even outside the palace, the people also celebrated with each other, saying that the prince was talented, diligent and studious, and he was also the most top-notch among the children of the clan. If such people ascend the throne and become emperors, the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely change the current defeat, and the outside can resist the enemy who invades, and the internal can sweep away the chaos of the court, and the Jin Dynasty will prosper.
Sima Yue was furious, obviously he had not had any deterrent effect in surrounding the Taiji Hall before, these courtiers were still not afraid of him, as for why they were not afraid of him, there must be someone behind these people, and this person was not only mysterious, but also had a high status, he was working step by step, wanting to pull Sima Yue down from the position of auxiliary government. Sima Yue had no choice but to send troops to surround the Taiji Hall again, and arrested a few powerful people who made a fuss, and said that the prince was young, when he was the age of studying hard, if anyone mentioned the matter of letting him open the mansion again, he would have ill intentions, and he would get rid of it quickly. At the same time, he sent additional men to patrol the city from dawn until curfew, and those who came across the prince or mentioned that the prince should open the palace or even ascend the throne were taken back to prison. However, in a few days, the prison in Luoyang City was full of prisoners, which made Sima Yue a little frightened, and suddenly, Sima Tan's prestige rose, and the call for him became higher and higher.
For Sima Qin's sudden prestige in the court, Yang Xianrong is also quite uneasy, now Sima Qin's wings are not yet full, only suitable for silently hiding behind Sima Yue, once someone notices, it may be a disaster. Yang Xianrong knew that Sima Tan must have been used, and the purpose of the use was to make Sima Yue panic, so that he would expose his feet and be caught in a net. But who took advantage of Sima Yue?
Yang Xianrong was confused, but at this time, Sima Qin, who received the news outside, was not honest, he ran directly to the Xianyang Hall with an excited face, and he didn't care if there was anyone around, he opened his mouth and said: "The queen mother has heard, I'm going to open a mansion?" ”
Yang Xianrong wanted to cover Sima Tan's mouth too late, so he had to signal the people around him to leave the hall, and then frowned and reprimanded: "Where did you hear that?" is so frizzy, where is what he should look like as a prince? Also, I told you that nothing came to me, did you take it to heart again? ”
Sima Tan's blood was instantly poured by this basin of cold water, he sat down dissatisfied, and said: "It has been spread all over the court, how can I not know, saying that it is the inner and outer courts that are looking at me to open the mansion." You said you couldn't come here because you had nothing to do, and now I'm not in trouble, right? I just want to share my joy with my mother, how can you expect you to be so dismissive? ”
Sima Qin is still a child's heart in the end, although he has suffered setbacks in the past few years, he has been well protected by the sheep, so his heart is uncertain, and his joy and anger are all on his face, so that people can see through what he is thinking at a glance. He was so excited about the opening of the mansion, the rumors must have reached Sima Yue's ears, and if everything came to naught, his disappointment would be small, and not having the ability to protect himself would be the real trouble.
"The queen mother has told you many times, you are still young, you should concentrate on studying, and you are not old enough to participate in the affairs of the foreign court." Yang Xianrong frowned, Sima Qin, this kid is more than smart, and he is not stable enough, it is really easy for people to grasp the handle, he doesn't know today's situation, but he is still happy and ran over regardless of it, for fear that the king of the East China Sea will not be able to do anything about him.
Sima Qin has been preached like this several times, he used to be obedient, but now he is fourteen years old, he really doesn't feel that his age is young, he has also devoted himself to studying over the years, and he doesn't think that he is an incompetent person, so when he hears such words again, he is obviously impatient. He stood up and said angrily, "What do I have to do to make the queen mother believe that I have grown up?" ”
The growth of a child is indeed a matter of an instant, and the child who was well-behaved and obedient before seems to have become extremely assertive overnight, unwilling to listen to the teachings of his elders, and even disobedient. Sima Qin is eager to grow, he is fed up with the days of being watched and oppressed, he is eager to grow into a towering tree, to provide shelter for himself and for the sheep, but who would have thought that he had just taken the first step, and he was hit by the sheep Xianrong first.
"Sit down." Yang Xianrong couldn't help but be a little angry when he looked at the impulsive Sima Tan, his words had already been made very clear, but this Sima Tan was not in oil and salt, and he was delusional when he immersed himself in the little sweetness he got, which was really dangerous.
Seeing this, Sima Qin had no choice but to sit down again unconvinced, and said unwillingly: "I am willing to listen to the teachings of the queen mother." ”
Yang Xianrong sighed, sat opposite Sima Tan, and then slowed down his voice and said: "This matter is strange, you allow me to figure out what happened for a while, and then find a way to mention your opening of the mansion, you don't want to be stupidly taken advantage of." ”
Sima Qin was obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xianrong's words, and "snorted" before saying: "After all, the queen mother doesn't believe in my ability, but it is better for those courtiers and even ordinary people outside to believe in me." ”
"It's not that I don't believe you." Yang Xianrong said seriously: "I don't believe those people outside, now you should know our situation, I can't doubt that there is such a big movement suddenly." Besides, you are indeed fledgling, do you think that if you open a mansion and have your own people, you can really compete with the king of the East China Sea? Your current subordinates in the East Palace are all his people, what are you going to do to fight him? Don't be carried away by the little profit in front of you, you should calm down and think about the words of the queen mother. ”
Sima Qin did calm down a lot when he heard this, but he was still not convinced, so he said: "If the queen mother keeps treating me as a child, how will I grow up?" It's not that I don't know what's wrong with Kaifu, and I don't know how dangerous it is to stand on the opposite side of the King of the East Sea, but I still want to give it a try, I think I'm not as useless as you think, and I've always lived under your protection. ”
Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Qin quietly, I have to say that a few years have passed, this child who was only eight years old and treated her as a mother has grown up, his lips already have a faint beard, the lines on his face are more tough, and he is much taller than Yang Xianrong, although the words he said are still a little immature, but he is indeed an adult, with ideas and ambitions.
Yang Xianrong stretched out his hand, touched Sima Tan's head with satisfaction, smiled, and said, "I promise you." ”
Sima Qin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is what the queen mother said true?" ”
Yang Xianrong nodded affirmatively: "Seriously, I will take advantage of this shareholder wind to find a way to push you out." But before that, don't worry, stay in the East Palace with peace of mind, you have now aroused the suspicion of the King of the East China Sea, so you must be careful, whether it is food or drink, you must check it repeatedly, and let Ah Qi and Xiao Hu pay more attention, and tell me immediately if you see a suspicious person or something. ”
Sima Qin nodded heavily, and then knelt down to Yang Xianrong and made a big salute, and said apologetically: "Just now it was the son's rudeness that collided with the queen mother, and I hope the queen mother will forgive her sins." ”
Yang Xianrong smiled, pulled up Sima Tan, and said, "Go ahead." ”
After Sima Qin left, Yang Xianrong felt a little headache, on the one hand, she didn't want to brush Sima Qin's enthusiasm, this child is ambitious, and it will not be good if she suppresses it too much. On the other hand, Sima Yue is a hurdle that she is difficult to overcome, and today Sima Tan's fuss in the Xianyang Hall reached his ears, and he didn't know what kind of turmoil it would cause.
Yang Xianrong slowly drank a cup of tea that had been cold, and she could feel that it was not far from the time for the East Sea King to make a move.
