Chapter 32: Temptation
Sima Lun did something extremely stupid, when Sima Xun was captured, it should directly wave its army to pursue, so that due to Sima Lun's might, Sima Xun might be able to keep it. But Sima Lun directly withdrew for Sima Xun, giving Qi Wannian time to form an alliance. In this way, sending troops again has the name of revitalizing soldiers because of anger, because it is taboo for soldiers to rejuvenate soldiers because of anger, Sima Lun's son-in-law died in Hu Shou, and it is no longer suitable to supervise Guanzhong, and it has become a foregone conclusion to recall Luoyang.
Although Sima Shu's goal was achieved, it was completely different from what he expected. If Sima Lun can still break his wrist with Sima Liang with his military merits, he can only be a cold bench if he is defeated. No one returned to the court to wrestle with Sima Liang, and whatever Sima Liang wanted to do would be much smoother. When the clan is powerful, wanting to make a difference is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Even if another candidate is selected from the Zhenguan, it will only be selected from the clan.
Since the unification of the Jin Dynasty, the generals who went out of the town returned to the court one by one, and those who supervised the soldiers outside were all clan kings. Although there are many people in the clan, there are not many who are qualified. Some are too young to take on heavy responsibilities, while others are not close enough to be governors. Now the only candidates who can intervene are Sima Cambodia, Sima Tong and Sima Shu himself.
If you want to get out of the town of Guanzhong, you need to nod your head from the important ministers of the court, and now that Sima Shu wants to go to Guanzhong in person, someone must come out to suggest. Taking advantage of the fact that the news of Sima Xun's death had not yet reached Luoyang, Sima Shu asked Liu Song to discuss countermeasures.
Liu Song was previously the minister of state of Sima Yun, the king of Huainan, and if he gave Sima Yun a blow, Sima Yun would definitely obey. If the clan has no selfish intentions, Sima Shu has no possibility of getting out of Luoyang, but if Sima Yun and Sima Liang are selfish, then there is room for maneuver.
Hearing that Sima Shu wanted to go out of the town in person, Liu Song thought that Sima Shu was dying!
"No, absolutely not!" Liu Song immediately shook his head in denial, and his attitude was resolute beyond Sima Shu's expectations.
Liu Song, as a famous scholar of the Legalist family, saw this very clearly, and explained: "Now that the Great Jin Dynasty is stable, the most important thing is that the clan controls the vast majority of the country's army, and its power is huge. And the one who maintains the order of the clan is the inheritance of the elder. Your father Sima Zhen is a fool, and the first thing to inherit the unification is because he is the eldest son, and it is this that makes others have nothing to say, even if Wei Qian opposes your father and emperor several times with worrying IQ, it will not help. In the same way, you became the crown prince early and naturally maintained the system of succession of the elders, occupying this article, you will occupy the biggest rules, and other feudal kings of the clan will be unjustified if they want to ascend the throne.
Now you say you want to go out, and that's absolutely not going to work. Because this undoubtedly gives the clan other opportunities to be crowned, the army is dispatched to fight in the mountains and gates, if you die outside the gate, then the king will immediately mess up the country in order to fight for the throne, isn't this brain-dead? ”
Sima Shu knew this, and couldn't help but think of the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Yongjia Rebellion in history, the reason why it was so was because the crown prince Sima Shu was killed by Jia Nanfeng, and the kings had an opportunity.
However, can you keep yourself and keep the country?
Sima Shu's attitude was negative, and he objected: "Although the clan is powerful now, it is not the most powerful time. Once they are given time, sooner or later the feudal kings will grow into a cancer against the imperial court, and at that time, cannibalism will only become bloodier. The crisis of the Great Jin Dynasty is not in Luoyang but within the four seas! Only complete control of Kyushu can eliminate this scourge!
If I stay in Luoyang and am in the deep palace, those people below will only be willing to do practical things, and when the order is transmitted to the place, it will already be unrecognizable Where will it still have an effect, rather than this, it is better to break it and stand up! The sooner you get out of the cage, the sooner you can show your strength! ”
Liu Song stomped his feet angrily and said, "So what? If you die in an accident, nothing will happen! ”
"It's really stubborn!" Sima Shu sighed secretly and said: "The real emperors are all from a corner of the land step by step, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and even the previous Zhou Wu King, Qin Shi Huang is not one by one to control the world, the emperors who have made a difference in the deep palace generally have ancestors who have laid the foundation for the country to be stable for a long time." Although the Great Jin Dynasty is now unified, it is full of internal and external troubles, and it is not a country of long-term peace.
You also said that my position is the foundation of my life, with the talisman of the eldest son, they will always have scruples and can't kill me directly, a little plot, if I can't even cope with these, I can't even keep myself, what kind of grand cause do you say? It's better to learn Liu Chan early to give up the throne! ”
"Don't worry! It's not that you don't know my ability, if I can still be killed by Yin in this way, then it can only be said that the destiny is like this! What's more, there is a negative side and a powerful side, if I can pacify the Guanwai and control Guanzhong Shuzhong, no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, I am also confident to follow the example of the first emperor to annex Liuhe!
Nest in Luoyang, it is impossible to pass the abolition of the new law of the nine products, only outside can the reform be completed from the bottom up, isn't this exactly what you are looking forward to, if you have the heart, try to block the dark arrow from the court for me, it is the greatest support for me! ”
Liu Song and Sima Shu had already planned, what Sima Shu wanted to do Liu Song knew very well, and knew in his heart that Sima Shu wanted to achieve what he wanted, unless he established a mansion or went out of the town. If you set up a mansion, Sima Shu was too young to get the clan to agree. And there is a glimmer of possibility when going out of town.
This bet is on whether the clan has selfish intentions!
Liu Song didn't believe that Sima Liang and Sima Yun would agree to such conditions: "Okay, if you want to try, try it!" When the news comes back, I will say with the king of Huainan! ”
Sima Xun's head was still in his hand, and Sun Xiu didn't dare to go to the big tent in person to hand it over to Sima Lun. Doing so would only make Sima Lun even angrier, and he would definitely not be able to leave alive. Therefore, when Sun Xiu passed the news to Sima Shu, he found a ruffian who didn't want to be shut down and passed the head to Sima Lun.
"Vertical Zi'an dares to deceive me!"
Sima Lun was already tyrannical, and when he saw Sima Xun's head, he immediately said angrily: "Order, the whole army will attack, I will sweep away Zhuqiang!" ”
"General, no!"
Zhang Jin immediately dissuaded: "Qi Wannian sent the head here, I'm afraid it was to provoke the general, and now the army will inevitably step into his full set, so not only can he not take revenge, even he may get in, we might as well play the imperial court, the imperial court will inevitably send troops to help, and then the army will sweep through Zhuqiang and there will be nowhere to escape!" ”
