But Sima Yan didn't promise anyone, he had a thirst for power buried in his heart, looking at his father, who was already terminally ill, Sima Yan's eyes seemed to be in a trance.

"As long as the person in front of you dies, this big country will be yours!" A voice kept sounding in Sima Yan's heart.

Sima Yan leaned down beside Sima Zhao's bed, gently put the medicine bowl in his hand aside, and stretched out his trembling hands and put them between Sima Zhao's neck.

Suddenly, Sima Yan withdrew his hands and kept scolding himself in his heart: "This is your father, you can't do this!" ”

Just when Sima Yan was about to give up, another voice sounded in his heart again: "All this is for the Sima family!" All for the Sima family! ”

This kind of thought is like a boulder rolling down a hillside, and when a person finds an excuse for his unacceptable behavior, he will try to persuade himself with this excuse.

At this moment, Sima Yan was like a gambler who was choosing between angels and demons, and under the constant entanglement and struggle, Sima Yan once again stretched out his hands and put them on Sima Zhao's neck.

Sima Zhao was still breathing evenly and asleep, not knowing what was going to happen, only to see Sima Yan pinching Sima Zhao's neck with both hands, the green tendons on his wrists bulging, and his eyes revealing a slight redness.

"It's all for the Sima family!" Sima Yan repeated in a low voice.

Sima Zhao, who was getting more and more out of breath, opened his eyes under all the discomfort, only to see his son Sima Yan holding his neck with a hideous face, Sima Zhao's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension, and his body struggled hard.

He didn't know why his own son wanted to harm him, until he heard everything that Sima Yan kept talking about for the sake of the Sima family.

Sima Zhao was relieved, showing a relieved smile, he felt that his son had suddenly become a stranger, he was no longer a qualified son, but he would become a qualified king, a politician without feelings.

After a long time, Sima Zhao had stopped moving, and at this time, Sima Yan was exhausted and let go of his hands, only to see that the corners of Sima Zhao's mouth still retained a smile.

Sima Yan stretched out his finger and put it between Sima Zhao's snorts, not feeling any anger at all, and the frightened Sima Yan suddenly stepped back in fright, hit the table next to the bed, and knocked the medicine bowl to the ground.

"Smack!"

A crisp cracking sound sounded, and I saw that the medicine bowl had been shattered, and the decoction was spilled everywhere, and the imperial doctors outside rushed in when they heard the sound.

Seeing Sima Yan, who looked flustered, the imperial doctors looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and one of the imperial doctors asked tentatively: "Will.... General, what's going on? ”

Sima Yan immediately had a look of regret on his face, his body was crooked and prostrate on the ground, and he cried loudly: "Father! O General! Father! ”

These imperial doctors immediately understood what was going on, and they all fell to the ground and kowtowed in Sima Zhao's direction.

Three days later, not only the entire city of Luoyang City was covered with snow, but even the pedestrians on the road and in front of the door were also full of vegetarian food, turning the entire Luoyang City into a white city.

Sima Zhao, the general of Wei and the king of Jin, died before he survived this winter, and Sima Yan insisted on keeping filial piety for three years to fulfill the gift of the son of man.

In the end, under the persuasion of Sima Ling and other ministers, he said that His Majesty was still young today, and the country could not be managed without a person of high moral and respect, and implored Sima Yan to take over Sima Zhao's position.

was rejected by Sima Yanyi's righteous words, and recommended several highly respected courtiers to be auxiliary ministers, but no one dared to agree, and all of them resigned that they were too talented and virtuous to take over.

In desperation, Sima Yan had no choice but to accept the persuasion of his ministers, inherit Sima Zhao's title of King of Jin, and serve as the general of Wei under a holy decree of Emperor Cao Huan, commanding the soldiers and horses of the whole country.

Within a few days, from the north Baili rushed to Luoyang urgent report, this year's heavy snowfall, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou have made a lot of snow disasters.

A large number of people's houses were crushed by the snow, countless livestock froze to death and starved to death, and crops were smashed by the heavy snow.

At the same time as the Central Plains suffered from the snowstorm, the nomads in the northern steppes were even more uncomfortable, and large areas of cattle, sheep and livestock froze to death, cutting off their way of life.

Under the struggle of life and death, the Xianbei Murong Department and the Tuoba Department in the northeast began to unite to the south to plunder the people of Youzhou, and several counties on the border of Youzhou were attacked by the Xianbei people, and a large number of people were killed and their resources were taken away by them.

Even the Southern Xiongnu Department, which had been subjugated for many years, chose to take risks when the survival of the tribe was at stake, and began to plunder the state in the south, but there was a husband in Yanmen County who was the gate, and the Southern Xiongnu did not cause much substantial damage to the state.

On this day, Wei held a court meeting, and the little emperor Cao Huan thought that he could retire from the dynasty by going through the motions as in the past, but he didn't expect that today's ministers actually began to submit a recital to Cao Huan.

The little emperor Cao Huan was confused, and usually the folds were sent directly to the General's Mansion to deal with, the so-called court meeting was just symbolic, and no one would play anything, and today suddenly came out like this, Cao Huan thought that Sima Yan was a loyal minister and wanted to return to the government and the Son of Heaven.

The ministers played the report of the defeat of the Battle of Shu and the loss of Liangzhou, and also reported the snow disaster and foreign invasion in the north to Cao Huan.

Although all these things were bad news for the Wei court, Cao Huan was extremely excited and was planning to show his skills to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the general Sima Yan stood up and said that now the Great Wei has been defeated and the city has lost its land, as well as the invasion of foreign races in the north and the catastrophe from the sky, all of which show God's punishment for the Great Wei State, all of which are the Son of Heaven's immorality that angers God.

All the ministers began to second, begging the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to ask God for forgiveness, Cao Huan's mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and finally under the persecution of the ministers and hundreds of officials, Cao Huan could only issue an edict of guilt, listing those unwarranted sins to himself one by one, and losing face.

Originally, Cao Huan thought that even if this was over, he could continue to be his puppet emperor, but he didn't expect that at the court meeting the next day, someone suddenly invited Cao Huanchan to be located in the general Jin King Sima Yan, saying that now the heavens are angry, if you don't choose a virtuous person to calm the anger of heaven on behalf of Tianxingdao, I am afraid that you will be punished more, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is both talented and virtuous, and three generations have done their best for the people of the Great Wei State, and they are the chosen ones.

Fortunately, he was rejected by Sima Yan, and he also scolded the minister, Sima Yan said that as a courtier of Wei, how could he do that great rebellion.

Who knew that on the third day, more courtiers would begin to invite Cao Huan to the throne, but they were also reprimanded by Sima Yan, and refused with righteous words.

On the fourth day, all the ministers began to play, Cao Huan looked at the ministers who ate the Lu of Wei with a smile on his face, and also knew that the Sima family's drama should have been done enough, so he took the initiative to ask Chan to be located in His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

This time Sima Yan did not refuse, but said that he was guilty but had to do it for the sake of the people, and then sighed with emotion, and then reluctantly took over the jade seal from Cao Huan.

At the end of 263 A.D., after five emperors of the Great Wei State officially destroyed, Wei Emperor Cao Huanchan located in the Jin King Sima Yan, Sima Yan officially ascended the throne and called the emperor, the country name Jin, the year number Taishi, Cao Huan was demoted to Chen Liuwang, posthumously named Sima Yi as Emperor Xuan, Sima Shi as Emperor Jing, Sima Zhao as Emperor Wen, and other clans were also rewarded.

Sima Yan also sealed the courtiers, Feng Jia was appointed as a lieutenant, Deng Ai was a general, and the Jin Dynasty was established two years earlier than in history.

After Sima Yan ascended the throne, he lived in the palace in a simple place, and he tore apart the last trace of dignity and face of the old ministers of the Wei State, knowing that these people would definitely make the last wave of counterattack.

However, he never heard any bad news, especially his uncle Ma Fu, who was loyal to the Cao family of Wei State, did not take any other actions except to scold Sima Yan for a few rebellious ministers and thieves, which made Sima Yan feel particularly uneasy, and always felt that there would be a bigger storm coming, so he hurriedly sent someone to send the appointment letter to Hanzhong.

is going to let Deng Ai stay in Hanzhong County, and recall Jia Chong back to Luoyang to give himself a reassurance.

At this time, Patong County.

Liu Yao and Wen Yang braved the heavy snow and rushed all the way from Chengdu to Dongwu, and finally arrived at Badong County, the border of Shudi, which is located in the south, except for the temperature is slightly colder, there is no heavy snow.

The current Badong County is occupied by the Wu army, but Liu Yao did not have the slightest fear, and planned to meet the Wu general who captured Badong, and asked what the reason was.

However, Ding Feng, the Wu general stationed in Badong, also got the news that Shu was regained by the Han army, for fear that the Han army would turn around and attack Badong County

, so Ding Feng ordered the gates of the county towns of Padang to be tightly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

Liu Yao had no choice but to enter any of the cities in Padang, so he had to bypass it, and took a merchant ship with the merchants who pretended to be Wenyang as a way, and went down from the water.

The owner of this merchant ship was originally a merchant from Badong County, who had been running back and forth from Shu to Wu to operate some aquatic products, but now Shu was in chaos, fighting with the Wei army on the one hand, and being attacked by the Wu army on the other.

The merchant's business was greatly affected, and the money he sold was stolen several times by unknown rebels and bandits.

I had no choice but to prepare to go to Jiangdong Taiping to operate, and I was worried that I would encounter some strongmen on the road or something, and I happened to see Liu Yao and Wen Yang who stopped by the water.

After some conversation, Liu Yao claimed that he also went to Jiangdong to do business, but because there was no transition ship, the merchant saw that Liu Yao and Wen Yang were tall, but they were very good-looking, and they were carrying weapons, and they happened to have the same destination.

Simply let the two of them take their own caravan ships to Jiangdong together, in case they encounter some bandits, there are two people with weapons to accompany them stronger, especially Wen Yang is carrying a big iron halberd in his hand.

The halberd is not a weapon that anyone can use, it requires both ingenuity and brute strength, and the merchant has also seen a lot of fierce men and fierce men when he goes south and north, and he is a good hand at a glance.

Liu Yao didn't make any excuses, and Wenyang directly boarded the merchant ship, and the waterway traveled quite fast, and then went down the river, and soon entered the Yangtze River from the water, and continued to the east.
