Chapter 108: Changed Minds

"Do you want to chase it?" Yang Ting asked.

Sima Yi shook his head: "I'm afraid that the King of Chengdu and the King of Hejian will have some trouble." ”

Seeing that the soldiers of the Yamen Army began to clean up the mess, Yang Ting hugged his fist at Sima Yi in admiration and said: "The prince actually ambushed the Yamen Army first, and he didn't even tell me." ”

"Uncle Guo is not strange," Sima Yi said: "The Yamen army defends the capital, without His Majesty's order, no one can call them, the reason why they can come, is the queen mother's mediation, this matter is a big matter, they have been ambushed in this wilderness for many days, a lot of hardship, I can't let them down, so I am cautious and cautious, I dare not have the slightest slack." ”

"I'm admired, not resentful." Yang Ting said: "Then what does the prince plan to do with these people?" ”

Sima Yi said hatefully: "Since it is dealt with according to the rules, first separate the military region of the Tiger Hall and the two kings, the personality of the Tiger Hall is not to be killed, as for the subordinate army of the two kings, but if there is any evidence against the two kings, I have evidence, and when the time comes, I can't blame me for ignoring the brotherhood." ”

Back in Luoyang, Sima Yi entered the palace as soon as possible, and first went to the Taiji Hall to tell Sima Zhen that he was going to his parents' temple and wished that the task would be completed smoothly, of course, he also mentioned his assassination in passing. When Sima Zhen heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the minister?" ”

Sima Yi smiled faintly and said, "It's Chang'an Tiger Hall." ”

"What's that?" Sima Zhen had never heard of this name, and asked curiously.

"The leader of the Tiger Hall is known as the 'Tiger Lord', who has committed serious crimes, and after escaping from prison, he recruited criminals from all over the world, and established this Tiger Hall, and was the first to thank the robbers who robbed the house. Sima Yi sighed and said: "This Tiger Hall has a very bad reputation, and often harasses the people, the girl who likes it says that it will be robbed, and the people hate them to the bone but have nothing to do, this time they don't know whose silver they received to buy the life of the minister, the brother escaped by luck, and also exterminated the Tiger Hall, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

Sima Zhen frowned, and asked very incomprehensibly: "No matter how powerful this Tiger Hall is, how powerful is my Jin Army?" ”

"Naturally, no." Sima Yi said: "That Tiger Hall is full of criminals, but they don't want to die, in fact, the number is only a few hundred, Chang'an is the main hall, and there are branch halls in various places, in the face of the regular army, it is really vulnerable." ”

"In that case, why don't you exterminate it sooner rather than later?" Sima Zhen asked.

Sima Yi replied: "I have someone to protect me. ”

"Who?" Sima Zhen was a little angry, such a bad person, there was someone to protect him, and he really didn't take the court seriously.

"I'm afraid this is a big deal," Sima Yi said calmly: "They have been in Chang'an for more than ten years, and this shelter is not a matter of one or two people, but they have never participated in royal battles before, and if they dare to assassinate me this time, it must be that someone has paid a lot of money, or someone has tempted him with power." ”

Sima Xin hurriedly asked, "You said this, but do you know who it is?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Now that I am sitting in the position of auxiliary government, there are more people with red eyes, how can I guess who it is?" ”

"Alas," Sima sighed heavily, patted his thigh, and said bitterly, "I don't understand, we are all surnamed Sima, and we are all descendants of the royal family, how can we fight you to the death like this?" I often hear the queen talk about her childhood, their brother and sister are very affectionate, and even these palace maids around me have no such thing as fighting for each other at home, why is it that our royal family can't live in peace for a moment? Sima Cheng patted Sima Yi on the shoulder and said worriedly: "Since you say so, there must be danger in the future, so be careful, I don't want to see anyone die again." ”

Listening to Sima Zhen's words, Sima Yi was a little moved, he and this brother were not born of the same mother, and there was no deep feeling, once his half-brother Sima Wei, the king of Chu, died at the hands of Jia Nanfeng, he was also implicated, he complained about Sima Cheng for this, and later entered Beijing, saw that the emperor ignored the government and politics, and thinking chaotically, he was really disappointed, and also encouraged the king of Chengdu to take over the world, now it seems that this stupid brother is the most affectionate of all the brothers, but his ability is limited, There's really no way to hold up the big picture.

Sima Yi bowed deeply to Sima Zhen and withdrew from the Taiji Palace, he did not delay, and came directly to the Xianyang Palace. Yang Xianrong already knew the news that Sima Yi was safe and sound, and his heart finally let go of the morning after hanging for a morning, although he won this time, although it could not be said to be a fluke, but the lucky component still accounted for a lot, if it wasn't for their timely understanding of the tricks of the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu, I am afraid that at this time, the King of Changsha is already a ghost under the knife, and she Yang Xianrong does not know how to deal with it.

Sima Yi simply saluted the sheep, and then said: "All the people are in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, half of them are from the Tiger Hall, and the other half are the people of the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu. ”

"They are deadly," Yang Xianrong sighed: "If it weren't for my second brother's suggestion to transfer some more soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you are really lucky this time, fortunately, Your Majesty is good at coaxing, then Yan Sheng is also of some use, and finally borrowed someone from the Yamen Army." ”

Sima Yi suddenly got up, made a big salute to the sheep, and said, "Speaking of this, I have to thank Niangniang for saving her life." "Daxia Chinese Network

Yang Xianrong hurriedly pulled up Sima Yi and said: "Where is this prince, now we don't need to be so polite between us, because only you can keep my mother and daughter safe, and only you can keep Qin'er's position as the crown prince, and you trust you just as you trust me." ”

Sima Yi nodded, and sat down on his knees again.

Yang Xianrong poured a cup of tea for Sima Yi with his own hands before asking, "What does the prince plan to do with those people?" ”

Sima Yi said: "All the personnel of the Tiger Hall will be beheaded." ”

Yang Xianrong's hand pouring tea paused, raised his eyes to look at Sima Yi, and said: "As long as one of these people confesses that he is the king of Hejian or the king of Chengdu, the two of them will be guilty of the crime, and it will be easy to get rid of it." ”

"I plan to personally go to the two people's mansions and persuade them to put aside the power struggle and return to the fiefdom to spend the rest of their lives in peace." Sima Yi said.

"Lone disagrees." Yang Xianrong put the tea heavily in front of Sima Yi and said.

"I originally had an idea with my mother." Sima Yi said again: "But I changed my mind on Your Majesty's side just now, Your Majesty is benevolent and can't bear to see fratricide, how can I cause the descendants of my Sima family to die for my own selfish interests?" ”

"If you think like this, I'm afraid people don't think like this," Yang Xianrong sneered and said: "The king of Chengdu doesn't mention it for the time being, doesn't the prince know about the ambition of the king of Hejian?" ”

Sima Yi said: "I always hold the luck in my heart, thinking about giving them another chance, this time the heavy setback of the Tiger Hall, even with it also hurt their vitality, I think they will always be a little more vigilant, I Sima Yi is not a mediocre person, this time I can't hurt me, and it will not be so easy to hurt me in the future, it is better to return to the fiefdom and be a chic prince." ”

"The prince is merciful, and it is not a good thing." Yang Xianrong said quietly: "In this power struggle, be more ruthless, so that you can suffer less damage." ”

Sima Yi nodded: "Niangniang's words, the minister remembers it in his heart." ”

After Sima Yi left the palace, he was about to go to the Hejian Palace, he thought about it, but he didn't know how to face him at this time, if he didn't hate, it must be false, but no matter how much he hated, what could he do? If it is not peaceful today, the army of Li Teh is becoming more and more courageous, and even set a new era name, several vassal kings turn a blind eye to this, not only do not want to fight against the rebels, but instead look at his position as an auxiliary government, and their hearts are not aligned, why is the enemy foreign army? He forgave the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu this time, and it was not all about the love of blood and blood, but he really couldn't get his heart on the infighting.

After returning to the Changsha Palace, Sima Yi had just closed his eyes for a while, but he heard a report from someone that the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu had arrived. Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't go to look for them, but they came to the door first.

As soon as the two of them entered Sima Yi's study, they asked with concern: "I heard that you encountered an ambush on the way back to the city, and we are really worried, so hurry over and have a look." ”

"It's okay," Sima Yi smiled and invited the two of them to sit down, and said, "It's just a thief, it's not a climate." ”

"I heard that you transferred the Yamen Army, but what rumors did you hear in advance?" Chengdu Wang asked again.

"What wind can I hear?" Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "It's just that the south has been making too much trouble recently, and some spies reported that Li Tejun sent people into Beijing, the purpose is to kill the important ministers of the court, paralyze the imperial court, and the people panic, they took the opportunity to invade and seize the throne, I just don't want to give them this opportunity." ”

Chengdu Wang smiled and nodded, but this smile was really a little reluctant. The King of Hejian asked again, "I heard that it is from the Tiger Hall?" ”

"Exactly." Sima Yi deliberately said indignantly: "I really didn't expect that this Tiger Hall has grown so much in the past two years, I roughly estimated that there were more than 300 people who came to kill me this time, all of them were fierce and vicious, and fortunately with the protection of the Yamen Army, I not only escaped, but also broke the Tiger Hall, but unfortunately, what did they call 'Tiger Master' to run away, but there were few people around him, and he couldn't make any climate." ”

Hearing this, the King of Hejian nodded, and asked again, "Are you sure that the people who were captured are all from the Tiger Hall?" ”

"Naturally," Sima Yi said affirmatively, "otherwise who else?" I don't plan to try it anymore, there are more than 300 people, what year and month will I go to trial? I wanted to kill them all together, but now that the war in the south is deadlocked, I think it's a pity to let them die like this, so I just threw them into the army, and if they die, they die, and if they survive and kill the enemy, I don't mind reusing them again. ”

The two glanced at each other, and the king of Chengdu smiled again: "Brother benevolence, I'm afraid there will be no second person in this capital." ”
