Chapter 6: Unforeseen Disasters
Yu Liang is really not corrected, even if he has the courage, he will not be disloyal to such a thing. But what he asked for was just Sima Rui's words, so Sima Rui could repent at any time and put all the blame on Yu Yuangui. It was not others who made Sima Rui's order change, but two of his cronies: Liu Kui and Diao Xie.
Liu Kui, a native of Dalian, a native of Pengcheng, saw that he was the prime minister and was in charge of supervision. Du was not allowed to cross north during the day, so he went to complain to Sima Wang, the king of Xiyang, through his sister, and Sima sent someone to inform Liu Kui, saying that the opportunity had come, and he could use this matter to get rid of Yu Yuangui, suppress Wang Maohong, and sweep away the filth in the Prime Minister's Mansion!
So Liu Kui invited Diao to go and meet Sima Rui. Diao Xie's character Xuanliang, a native of Bohai, was the prime minister Zuo Changshi, and his name was only under Wang Dao, he and Liu Kui were like-minded, and had always been hostile to the Wang family, and then hated Wang Dao's cronies Yu Liang, so he happily obeyed.
After the two met Sima Rui, Liu Kui first opened his mouth and asked: "Now Wei Daoshu, Li Maoyuo, Du Anqing and others want to cross the river and return to the north, but they are blocked by the Jiang officials. ”
Sima Rui smiled slightly bitterly: "Sure enough, Qing and the others are also here for this matter, and the concubine of the East China Sea has already come to ask Yu Gu, but it is difficult for Gu to answer." Now that the concubine has been allowed, the three families will be allowed to cross to the north tomorrow. ”
Liu Kui asked: "These three families can be crossed, but what about the family over there?" Since there is an order to lock the river, it is not appropriate to distinguish between relatives and alienation of each other, if the three families are allowed to cross, how will other families view the king's order? The family from the south, the warp and weft are linked, and they all have relatives, if they plead with the king through others, the king is not allowed? ”
Sima Rui frowned and asked, "What does Qing mean ......?"
"That is, the order to lock the river will be abolished, and the overseas Chinese will be allowed to return to their hometowns."
Sima Rui groaned and refused to express his position. Liu Kui glanced at Diao Xie, Diao Xuanliang took the opportunity to take a step forward and arched his hand: "Not only must we abolish the order of locking the river, but also declare that this is not the king's original intention, otherwise, I am afraid that the unforeseen disaster is right in front of you!" ”
Sima Rui raised his head and glanced at him, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Xuan Liang say this?" Where does the disaster come from? ”
Liu Kui interjected: "I expect that Yu Yuan will persuade the king to lock the river, and he can guess a thing or two." However, he said that once the people were allowed to return to the north, the hearts of the people in Jiangdong would inevitably fluctuate, and the overseas Chinese would not be able to serve the king wholeheartedly, and the natives would no longer obey the king's orders...... It is because I have to temporarily lock the river, to put aside delusions, and wait for a good plan......"
Sima Rui smiled awkwardly: "The heart of Yuan Gui is in Dalian's eyes." "That's not a bad guess.
Liu Kui asked: "May I ask the king, the king moved from Langya to Jiangzuo, got the service of the sages, the aborigines were subordinated, and the six states were about to be determined, where did the power come from?" ”
"What is the power of loneliness?" Sima Rui replied honestly, "It's all up to the merits of the Qing Dynasty." ”
Diao Xie shook his head: "If the king is powerless, how can I wait?" Immediately, Liu Kui explained in detail: "It was all raging for Hu Kou, the Son of Heaven was covered with dust, and the scholars of the Central Plains went south one after another, seeking to find a clear master." The king responded to the people, crossed the river with the four kings, sat in the southeast, and fortified along the river, so as to stabilize the overseas Chinese and the soil, and unify the six states. However, those who want to guard the southeast for the imperial court are not the kings alone, there is the right general Chen Min in front of him, who proclaimed himself the Duke of Chu and wants to be based on Wu Yue; Later, there was Jianwu General Qian, who established the grandson of Sun as the king of Wu and sought to secession. They were all defeated by the overseas Chinese and Turkish coalition soldiers, and only the king could gain a foothold here, and what was the king afraid of? ”
"Please also ask Erqing for advice."
Diao Xie said clearly: "The only thing that the king trusts is the identity of the clan and the edict of the imperial court. First, there was Emperor Xiaohuai to worship the general of the king of Zhendong and the military of Yangzhou, and then there was the prince of today, and the military of the governor of eastern Shaanxi. However, the court saw in Chang'an, the king is located in the southeast, thousands of miles away, it is difficult to be concentric, once the court resigns the king's office, the overseas Chinese will be at a loss, and the natives are covetous, Jiankang collapsed, pointing to the matter! Why is the king unwilling to guard the southeast for the Son of Heaven, become a virtuous name, pass on to his descendants, and not replace him for a hundred generations, but prefer to listen to Yu Liang's words and abandon the crown, which is equivalent to rebellion? ! ”
Sima Rui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand to defend: "How can Lone have the intention of betraying the court?" Xuan Liang said carefully! ”
Diao Xie said: "In the past, the Son of Heaven was in Chang'an, because of Hu Kou's invasion, he was in danger, and he repeatedly issued edicts to ask the king to lead the king, but the king should not. We know that because the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River has not been settled, we will be arrogant and lazy, and it is really useless. However, the Son of Heaven may not know, and even if he does, he may not be able to understand the king's difficulties. Fortunately, Pei and Zu crossed to the north, operated Huaishang, and the king was destined for the Northern Expedition, drove straight in, recovered Luoyang, and aided Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven should have felt the king's kindness. However, Yu Liang's slander actually made the king order Pei and Zu Banshi, if the Son of Heaven heard this, how would he think of the king? ”
Liu Kui interjected again: "I also know the meaning of Wang Dao, Yu Liang and others, thinking that Chang'an will not last long, and it is necessary to leave strong soldiers to defend the king and protect the remnants of the Jin family." If the Son of Heaven is not ashamed, the king is here, and Jin Zuo will not die......"
Sima Rui waved his hand again and again: "I don't mean this, I don't mean this." "This is true, although in the end history forced him to the throne of the emperor, as far as Sima Rui himself is concerned, there is no such ambition at all, but the situation has arrived, even if you have no ambition, you must be promoted one step higher, otherwise let alone the country, I am afraid that even the family and your own life will be difficult to preserve.
Liu Kui didn't expect Sima Rui to react so much, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "If the Son of Heaven is not secret, the hearts of the people in the world are all in the king, and we should also be good to assist the king, so as to continue to enter the room." The king imagined that the king of Nanyang was on top, a stone's throw away from Chang'an, and he refused to save him, but cut off Longdao, so his heart could be known without asking. Can the great position fall into his hands? Then the conversation changed and said: "However, the times have changed, Hu Kou has temporarily retreated, there is no police in Chang'an, the Son ......of Heaven is safe, and the king should abide by the courtiers, and he should not be double-minded."
Sima Rui said that was of course......
Diao Xie said: "Today, Pei Gong entered Chang'an to govern the country. In the past, Pei Gong crossed to the south, and the king treated him very well, and respected the concubine of the East China Sea. The concubine, Pei Gong's aunt; The son of the king, the son of the East China Sea, is the nephew of Ruo Pei Gong. And Pei Gong has to take charge of Xu Fang, and he is also the order of the king, and he must be the king of Shende. Pei Gong is in power, and it is beneficial and undamaged to the king, if it can be managed well, the north and the south should be harmonious, and the king will become a deep-rooted and unshakable trend in Jiangzuo. How could you listen to Yu Liang's words and offend Pei Gong? ”
Sima Rui snorted and said, I know that I was wrong, didn't I allow Wei Zhan and the three of them to cross north......
Liu Kui said that this is not enough, "Although the three families cross, the rest of the overseas Chinese are not related to the Pei family?" If only three families are allowed, one will be the law of chaos and health, and the other will also enlighten Pei Gong's suspicions. If he knew that there was a matter of locking the river, how would Pei Gong speculate about the king's intentions? Although Zhongzhou is now restored, there are many household registrations, if the overseas Chinese do not return to their hometowns, it will be difficult to stabilize, how can Pei Gong not worry about this? Why did the king go against his will? ”
Sima Rui was silent.
Diao Xie took the opportunity to say: "I have always signed the order of the officials, and if I agree, I will stay, and if I don't, I will go, that is, in the 'Hundred and Two Peng', if there is a person who misses Sangzi and abandons the king, he will go by himself, but should he force the disloyal people to stay around the king?" We can swear to the heavens that we will not abandon the king and go north, although the countryside is good, the coffin will be buried in the future. Liu Kui nodded again and again: "The heart of the last official is the same, and the king will review it in detail." ”
Sima Rui said that I naturally trust the two of you, but I also believe that Wang Dao and Yu Liang will not abandon me easily......
Liu Kui said: "Yu Liang thinks that as long as the river is locked and the overseas Chinese are not allowed to return to the north, the wind and waves will gradually stop, which is a big fallacy!" That is, they can keep their bodies, but they can't keep their hearts, and from then on they will resent the king, and the government of Jiankang will be even more disordered. And if Chang'an hears about this and stops an order, it can make the king work for many years and throw all of them into the eastward water! ”
Sima Rui frowned and asked, "Why is this so?" If it is as Qing said, how will Chang'an treat me and dismiss me as prime minister? ”
Diao Xie shook his head: "Elder of the Great King Clan, how can you give up? However, if the king orders the vassals to return to the country, or makes the king enter the court, how will the king respond? "The Central Plains is too peaceful, and Cao Wei is also attached, so even if the Langya Kingdom is not as stable as Mount Tai, it will not be warned for the time being, as the king of Langya, you will either enter the dynasty or return to the country, why do you stay in Jiankang for a long time and refuse to go?
When Sima Rui heard this, he was immediately shocked.
But Diao Xie's assumption is not over: "Today's son is the son of King Wu, and it is also ......" Sima Ye was originally the third son of Sima Yan, King Jing of Wu, Sima Yan is the half-brother of Emperor Hui Sima Zhen and Emperor Huai Sima Chi, it is purely by such a close blood relationship that Sima Ye has to succeed to the throne in Chang'an, and it has not caused too much criticism on inheritance qualifications. "Jiangzuo's anointed land, all in Sanwu, if one day suddenly descends a king of Wu, directly take away Wu County and even Wuxing, Biling and other counties, can you still stay in Jiankang?
"And if the kings of Xiyang, Nanton, Runan and other kings are all supervising Yangzhou affairs, how will the king control them?"
Sima Rui was about to cry when he heard this. He himself has no ambitions, so he attaches great importance to fictitious status, rather than actual authority, and even when it comes to authority, the government of Jiankang is also in the hands of the wealthy family headed by the Langya Wang family, and he himself is just a temporary banner. So what if the imperial court pulls out this banner? Or deliberately put up a few more flags to Jiangdong? Even if Director Wang, Yu Liang and the others are loyal, do you dare to guarantee that other families will not sway from side to side or even turn against the wind?
The key is that although Langya is a big country, the king is relatively distant from the royal family in terms of blood, and Sima Rui's own prestige is all coaxed by the big clans, but since people can support you, they can abandon you at any time. In the original history, because of this congenital insufficiency, it led to the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "the king and the horse, the world", the imperial power declined, and the gate valve was powerful, and this situation lasted until Liu Yu usurped the throne and the Southern Dynasty began to finally change.
Therefore, Sima Rui was almost frightened and cried by Diao Xie's assumptions and fictions, so he hurriedly avoided the table and leaned over, and asked: "If it is as Qing said, I am afraid that my life will be difficult to do today, and I will ask Erqing to teach me." ”
Diao Xie and Liu Kui hurriedly kowtowed to show that they didn't dare. Immediately, Diao Xie put forward his proposition: "For today's plan, the only way is to remove the ban on the lock of the river, and arrest Yu Liang, Yun is overbearing, the king really doesn't know about this, so it may relieve Pei Gong's suspicions." ”
Liu Kui said: "If this is the case, I am afraid it is still not enough, the king can ask the concubine of the East China Sea to send a letter to Pei Gong, dissect the mind, the cloud is no more than the intention of the imperial court, and is willing to town Jiangdong for the imperial court for a long time, so as to wait for the society to be safe." The minister asked to send an envoy to Chang'an, and it was necessary to persuade Pei Gong, or to change the title of the king to the king of Wu, or still increase the royal capital to supervise the military of Yangzhou and even Jing, Jiang and other states. Only in this way can Jiangzuo be safe, and the king will also lead the mountains and rivers, and the descendants will be forever! ”
In the end, Sima Rui listened to Liu and Diao's words, so he hurriedly sent someone to arrest Yu Liang.
To tell the truth, what Liu and Diao did is indeed a loyal word, even if it is not for the sake of the country's society, but also for Sima Rui's own consideration. Because of Sima Rui's congenital deficiencies in identity, at that time, there were few scholars in Jiangzuo who would want to let Jiangbei become a pot of porridge, and I only didn't move, and I wanted to set up a new son of heaven in Jiangnan, and most people just wanted to keep a peaceful residence for their families. It is precisely because Sima Rui is generous, even weak, that he is suitable to be the co-owner of the gate valve.
Among them, Liu Kui and Diao Xie, because their own family power is not strong, is still biased towards the unification of imperial power in terms of political concepts, so in the original history, after they supported Sima Rui, they persuaded him to follow the way of the Legalists, consolidate the imperial power, and suppress the power of the gate lords. It was only because of the great power of the gate and the fact that Liu and Diao were not good at uniting friends and friends, which led to enemies on all sides, and finally Wang Dun raised troops to the east, Diao Xie was killed, and Liu Kui surrendered to Zhao.
The most direct reason for Wang Dun's victory, in fact, is Sima Rui's weak personality, Liu and Diao suggested that he punish the Wang clan in Jiankang, but he refused to listen to Liu and Diao's defeat, in fact, Wang Dao and even Yu Liang are happy to see it, then there are these big clans in Jiankang, or openly or secretly do internal response, and the officers and soldiers have no reason to be defeated?
And on this timeline, although Sima Rui has not yet ascended the throne, and Liu Kui and Diao Xie have not been able to govern Jiangzuo, they have already developed an aversion to the family represented by Wang Dao. Jiang Zuo should be the imperial court, and he should be the prince and the king at best, when will it be the turn of the gate lord to take charge of the power? Moreover, the power of the Wang family is too large, Wang Daoshi is in charge of Jiankang's government, Wang Dun has heavy troops in hand, and the tiger is in the upper reaches, whether it is for the country's society, or the Jiankang regime, and even Sima Rui himself, it is definitely not a good thing. That's why they took the opportunity to attack Yu Liang and wanted to cut off one of Wang Dao's arms first.
Immediately, Liu Kui was ordered to cross north and go to Chang'an, where he lobbied the ruling Pei and other ministers. Yu Liang was arrested and imprisoned, and after Wang Dao, Zhou and others repeatedly persuaded Sima Rui, he was finally pardoned, but he was dismissed and ordered to return home for reflection......
