Liu Kui said that only Sima Rui, the king of Langya, had enough prestige to calm Jiangdong, and more importantly, he could make the overseas Chinese and important ministers led by the Langya Wang clan submit, and if an ordinary bureaucrat was replaced, it would inevitably cause chaos; And it is easy to be the king of other clans, but it is also not good, except for Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, who else can be as famous as Sima Rui? But can Sima Bao be released Jiankang?

Pei Gai immediately shook his head and asked, "How is King Langya like the King of the East China Sea?" ”

Liu Kui naturally had a case for this question, and immediately replied: "I know that Pei Gong pinned his hopes on the king of the East China Sea and ......" Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was the last one to laugh in the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", the key was that he was supported by the great surnames of the Kwantung region, including Hedong Pei and Langya Wang, and Sima Rui was only Sima Yue's younger brother at that time; Besides, Aunt Pei Gai is the concubine of Sima Yue, so you will naturally value Sima Qi, the king of the East China Sea, however

"The king of the East China Sea in the past is different from the king of today, the first crown of the king is not yet famous, and the seniority is very low, how can it be compared with the king of Langya?"

Pei Gai smiled: "Qingqi despises the Son of Heaven? ”

Sima Rui is Sima Yi's great-grandson, Sima Yi is theoretically speaking, when he is Sima Yi's great-great-grandson, even if he succeeds the East China Sea Wang family and is the grandson of Sima Yue, his generation has not changed, so Liu Kui said that his seniority is low, and I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. But Pei Gai pointed out sharply that today's son Sima Ye is also Sima Yi's great-great-grandson, the same generation as Sima Yi, and the first crown has not been long ago, you say that Sima Yi is young and has a low rank, is it looking down on the Son of Heaven?

Liu Kui couldn't help but change his face when he heard it, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The Son of Heaven is the master of the country, and the destiny of heaven returns, what about the generations?" Even if the children are in the court, we should also bow down and prostrate, how dare we despise them? Pei Gong said this, Kui is just dead! ”

Pei Cai saw him put on this demeanor, and he also knew that he had said too much, and he intended to deter the other party, but he couldn't help but show that he was narrow-minded and deliberately fabricated charges, so he waved his hand: "Unintentional words, Dalian is strange." However, from the perspective of Dalian, will it be difficult for the king of the East China Sea to calm Jiangdong? ”

Liu Kui said that this is of course, "And the king of the East China Sea was originally the son of the king of Langya, although he has been born, the blood relationship is not easy, but he can use his son for his father?" ”

Pei Gai asked: "It's just to make the king return to the vassal, why don't you chase it?" ”

Liu Kui replied without retreating: "In terms of the calmness of the kings, the old government of Emperor Benwu is now innocent and returning, what is the difference?" ”

Pei Gai had previously told Liang Fen that the biggest inducement of the "Eight Kings Rebellion" was not Empress Jia's arbitrary governance, but the excessive power of the kings. The vassal king of Wei is not like a prisoner, but he has almost no military strength himself, but after the Sima clan usurped power, in view of the overthrow of the previous car, he allowed the vassal king to control the soldiers and horses, 5,000 for the big country, 3,000 for China, and 15,000 for the lower country. Therefore, the vassal king does not stay in the country, but serves as the governor of other states, which is the old practice since Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, and now the system has not been changed, and the old law has not been broken, you must return to the domain without guilt, isn't it still "chasing"?

In a hurry, he gradually stripped away all kinds of gentle and elegant superficial articles, and went deep into the essence of interests, Pei should be a little silent, and planned to point to the core of the problem He is not a bureaucrat in this world after all, and he is really not used to turning a big corner in everything and saying, "Don't you listen to the wrong words?" 'No, the Son of Heaven is not respected, and the temple is uneasy. ’”

Pei Gai means that now the Jiankang regime is very difficult to control, and it has greatly threatened the imperial power of Chang'an, just like the Wu and Chu states did to the Han court in the past. Although Yuan Ang once advised Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to kill Chao Cuo, saying, "The only thing to do is to cut the mistake, send an envoy to pardon Wu and Chu Seven Kingdoms, and restore their hometown, then the soldiers can be stopped without blood", but a few people in later generations said that Chao Cuo did not do it right, and the domain cannot be cut? Who would think that if it weren't for Chao Cuo's suggestion to cut the domain, Wu and Chu would not have rebelled? The current situation is similar, so what should I do as the ruling court of the imperial court? Come, teach me.

Liu Kui immediately responded: "Pei Gong's example is wrong, how can Pei Gong compare himself to Chao wrong?" If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a 'Tui En Order' to make the vassal self-cut, it would not be a disaster for the imperial court, so why rush to achieve it? ”

Pei Gai asked rhetorically: "If it weren't for Wu and Chu first, would Emperor Wu be able to use the strategy of the master father to calmly cut the domain?" ”

Liu Kui said: "Of course, even if there is no mistake in cutting the domain, Wu and Chu will also be opposed." However, 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', and there are those who should slow down the plan. If Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty is not anxious for quick success, but slowly plots it, the momentum of the imperial court will be consolidated, and the strategy of Wu and Chu will be divided, even if the army is raised, it cannot be lightly crossed the Yangtze River, and what about Liangdi? Now the power of the imperial court is far inferior to that of the Han Dynasty, and the government of Jiankang is the general governor of the south of the Yangtze River, which is a combination of Wu and Chu, if it is urgent, it is even more urgent to be in the former Han Dynasty, even if there is Zhou Yafu, I am afraid that it will not be able to ......."

After finishing this general comparison and analysis, he quickly added: "And the king of Langya, Suzun court, has no ambition of Liu Bi." ”

Pei Gai Zhengse said: "Dalian, prevent the slightest mistake, for the responsibility of the minister, this mistake does not hesitate to break the family and die, and will admonish Han Jing." And as Qing said, the government of Jiankang today, out of the Wang family, Qing can protect the king of Langya, but can he protect the Wang family? ”

Liu Kui immediately replied: "No! Immediately, in Pei Gai's slightly stunned eyes, he explained neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Now that Wang Maohong is in charge of Jiankang's government, Wang Chuzhong has a heavy army, and the court can make the kings return to the vassals, but can the two sons hand over their authority?" The Ming system of Langya is easy for the king, and it is difficult to control the Wang family. Then there is the king of Langya, there is me and so on, the Wang family cannot be evil, if the king migrates, then I am afraid that the Wang family cannot be copied! Pei Gong think twice! ”

In the end, it was this sentence that touched Pei Gai. He finally realized that it was very simple to deal with a Sima Rui, but although the Jiangdong regime was headed by Sima Rui, the real person who spoke was not Sima Rui. The overseas Chinese who do not want to be separated from the south, when they will return to the north one after another, and continue to stay in Jiankang, a considerable part of them are planning to take Jiangnan as their home, the strength of this group is quite strong, if it is supplemented by the natives, although there is a dislike and discord, but in response to external pressure, it is very likely that they will temporarily join hands with their current strength is simply difficult to shake. In order to protect the back road, I must weaken this group, not just a Sima Rui!

Therefore, when Liu Kui resigned, Pei Wei came out from behind the screen, and the uncle and nephew discussed, and Pei Gai said: "Listening to Liu Dalian's words today, I have benefited a lot." If I want to weaken the power of Jiankang, I should start with the Wang family, and not let the king of Langya return to the domain, or support other kings to fight against each other, otherwise, I am afraid that what does the uncle think of the power of the Wang family? ”

Pei Wei pondered for a while, and then asked Pei Gai: "Jiangdong affairs, Wen Yue must know more than me, and now I have three questions ......" and then raised a finger: "Langya King Guo has no ambitions?" ”

Pei Gai did not hesitate to bow his head and confirm: "King Langya is benevolent, thinks for self-preservation, and has no ambition to win." This is the general understanding of scholars who have studied the history of the Jin Dynasty in the past dynasties, and it can basically be guaranteed.

Pei Wei asked again: "The kings of Nandu, is there no one to replace them?" ”

Pei Gai replied: "The king of Nanton is ambitious and talented, if it is easier, I am afraid that it will be contrary to the rest of the court, and they are all mediocre people." And now the overseas Chinese in the south are all respectful of the king of Langya, and those who can resist it are only the king of the East China Sea, and it is a pity that the king of the East China Sea is the son of the king of Langya, and he is still young and cannot serve the public. ”

Pei Weisan asked: "Diao Xuanliang and Liu Dalian may be good at assisting King Langya and restraining the Wang family?" ”

Liu Kui expressed his stance before leaving, saying that with me and Diao Xie and other pure ministers in Jiankang, it is necessary to restrict and divide the authority of the Wang family, so that Langya Wang An will be a vassal of the imperial court, calm the southeast for the country, and have no dissent. But whether his promise can be fulfilled, Pei Gai does not dare to guarantee...... In the original history, those two wanted to suppress the power of the overseas Chinese family led by the Langya Wang clan and consolidate the royal power, but they failed shamefully.

But think about it carefully, why did Diao Xie and Liu Kui fail? Because there were no soldiers in their hands, they were betrayed by Wang Dunyi, and the soldiers entered Jiankang, and with the addition of Sima Rui's first rat, they were helpless. Now the situation is different, as long as I order my ancestor to send thousands of soldiers and horses to threaten Jiangshang, will Wang Dun still dare to raise troops to go to Jiankang?

Even in the original history, if Zu Shizhi did not die, it is estimated that Wang Chuzhong would not dare to act rashly.

So he said to Pei Wei: "If the imperial court can help Liu and Diao, then they should not be embarrassed to tie up the Wang family in Jiangdong." "Didn't you see that they successfully killed Yu Liang this time?

Pei Wei nodded: "Since this is the case, it should be invited from Liu Dalian." Then he planned for Pei Gai in detail: "If Liu Dalian and Wen Yueyu are suitable, today's situation is like Han and Wu and Chu, but if you look into it, it is actually very different. The government of Jiankang, such as the strength of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and the power of the imperial court, is far inferior to that of Han Jing, if it is a plan to cut the feudal domain, it is a rebellion against Jiangdong, and once the incident occurs, the northern expedition will be in trouble, and the southern expedition will be more intense, which is not a good policy......

"Liang Situ and others advised Wenyue to be cautious of Jiangdong, but it was actually the rebellion of the kings before, and the blood stained in the Ji servants did not disappear, so that the courtiers were all coveted and shocked, and I am afraid that the scene will be ......seen again."

Ji Shao is in the waiter. In that year, the kings were in turmoil, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, coerced Emperor Hui of Jin to attack Yecheng, but was broken by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Emperor Hui was almost inevitable. At that time, Ji Shao was a servant, escorted in front of Emperor Hui's car, and was killed by the rebels, and blood spattered Emperor Hui's clothes. After the chaos subsided, the palace people wanted to wash the bloody clothes, and Emperor Hui said with tears: "This Ji is in the blood, don't go." ”

Pei Wei meant that the kings were in front of Yin Jian, so Liang Fen and other courtiers were worried that Sima Rui would become the second Sima Ying or even Sima Lun, reminding Pei to take precautions as soon as possible. But how do you prepare for it?

"Da Sima (Wang Jun) is in Youzhou, dividing his own self-righteousness, not cultivating tribute, and the first emperor added his name and gave it generously, why not? Just for the sake of the whip, it may be able to restrain Hu Ko, and persecution will promote its counter-attack, but it has to be so. Another example is that Han Gaozu is trapped in Xingyang, and Han Xin is in Qi, please be a fake king, Gaozu is angry, but he tiptoes for Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, Naiyun: 'The big husband is the prince, that is, the real king's ear, why fake?' 'Feng Han Xin is the king of Zhenqi. Han is noble and bends himself to the throne, what about us?

"If the king of Langya is really ambitious, he must not be forced to rebel; If you really have no ambition, you should treat it more favorably, so that it can restrain the Langya Wang family. Therefore I think that first, we should not bring the kings to their vassals, and second, we should not set up other kings against each other, but should give them the power to encroach on the power of the kings. ”

Pei Gai nodded and said, "I know everything and wait for His Majesty Liu Dalian to see him, and then talk to him in detail." ”

Early the next morning, Liu Kui immediately met with Sima Ye and offered tribute. Pei received the tribute on behalf of the Son of Heaven and unfolded it and recited it aloud, including: one hundred pieces of Yuebu, ten celadon baskets, one box of precious shells and one pearl...... Basically, it is ten times the amount of private gifts given to Pei Gai, and there seem to be a lot of things, but they still do not match the identity of Sima Rui's vassal king and prime minister.

But this is also a helpless thing, if you want gold and brocade, Sima Rui has to take it out, it is estimated that the Wang family sweeps the inventory at the bottom of the warehouse, but it is not difficult to get it together; If you ask for 100,000 rice grains, after all, the road is far away, and if you count the losses on the way, you have to send troops to conscript thousands at least, and you will be twice as rich......

Therefore, I only picked some special products: Yuebu and celadon are out of Huiji, and the pearl is out of Hepu, and as for the treasured shells, there are all along the coast. The key to the so-called courtesy and affection is to show the attitude of supporting the imperial court.

However, Pei Cai read it to the end and found that there was a pair of peacocks! How am I going to raise this thing? If I am cramped in the small city of Chang'an today, and I don't even have a garden of one acre of land, where do I have to put these two birds? When I asked Liu Kui, I realized that it was not a problem.

Because Liu Kui replied ashamedly: "I'm afraid that because I don't adapt to the water and soil, I have both died of illness on the way...... The minister had to pluck the big feather on his tail and enter the Son of Heaven......"

Liang Fen twisted his beard beside him and said: "In this way, you can decorate your clothes or make a fan, so that the Son of Heaven will always remember the loyalty of King Langya." I guess he was also greatly relieved.

Sima Ye said expressionlessly, he had already memorized Sima Rui's similar words and phrases, and everyone would do that. Immediately Liu Kui retreated, and Pei should discuss with Liang Fen, Xun Song, Hua Heng, Pei Wei and other important ministers how to reward King Langya.

This kind of thing, when Suo was in power in the past, the big guys left the court and went back to Shangshu Province to have a small meeting; However, after Pei Gai took power, whenever there was a major event, he deliberately placed the meeting place in front of the emperor to show respect for the Son of Heaven. Even if the Son of Heaven can't express any opinions, and even if he has opinions, he will be pushed back by the ministers, and after all, you will be allowed to attend, even if the imperial power is used as an ornament, it does exist, and we have no intention of setting up the Son of Heaven After all, Sima Ye has already performed the crown ceremony, and theoretically can be pro-government.

Pei should make this gesture, one of which is to show Sima Ye, the ministers, and even the people of the world that he is not Cao Cao. Now that the chaos has not yet been resolved, Hu Kou is still there, and Sima Bao is still in charge of Qinzhou, he will often lead his troops out of Beijing, if he has any suspicion with the Son of Heaven too early, and is taken advantage of by others, and there is any Dong Cheng Rebellion and Jin Rebellion, even if it is not difficult to calm down, it will definitely involve too much of his own energy. Moreover, this is also to express to the Kansai bureaucrats and scholars that I am not a minister, I have the will to share in the official position and authority, and you can come and attach yourself boldly and with confidence.

So he asked Sima Ye first: "Your Majesty thinks that how to reward King Langya?" ”
