The reason why Sima Ye was worried about how to reward Pei Gai was because he foresaw that this matter might shake the foundation of his imperial power—if he did not reward his merits, it would inevitably hurt the lords and cause people's hearts to turn away; And if the reward is too generous, for example, if you really add nine tin to Pei or seal the king or something, you are afraid that the other party's power will increase, and finally you will have the intention of usurping!

When Empress Liang heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly defended Pei Gai and said: "Pei Gongshi is loyal to Your Majesty, otherwise how would you be willing to return to Your Majesty Yu Luo and guard yourself in the pass?" Your Majesty, don't be suspicious and hurt the hearts of loyal ministers! ”

Of course, she will help Pei Gai say good things, one is the hometown Wushi, now under Pei Gai's rule, and the other is before entering the palace, her uncle and grandfather Liang Fen also specially advised......

Sima Ye shook his head lightly and said, "I don't understand it." I am only the Son of Heaven today, and the political affairs belong to Shangshu, and Shangshu relies on the will of Liang Situ; The military is in the hands of Pei and Zu Erqing. That is, Pei Qing has no different intentions, although I doubt it, what can I do? If Pei Qing has different intentions, whether he is suspicious or not, he is helpless. ”

Speaking of this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his voice again and said: "Queen, I am honest and Qingyan, I only want to live in peace and live with Qing, if this country is not passed down by the ancestors, there is nothing to abandon, what if I have Pei Qing or Zuqing?" ”

When Empress Liang heard this, her face couldn't help but change greatly, and she immediately twisted her waist, got rid of Sima Ye's embrace, and then staggered and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty has to say such words?" The concubines really didn't dare to hear about it. ”

Sima Ye stretched out his hand to pull Queen Liang up, and said with relief: "That's it, that's it, I'm just a momentary feeling." As he spoke, he patted the couch under him and sighed: "It's difficult to climb this seat, and it's even ......more difficult to get down."

It stands to reason that Sima Ye is only nineteen years old this year, he is in his prime, and his youth is good, so young people should not be afraid of the sky and the earth, and they should be infinitely proud and ambitious. But after all, he was used to eating and drinking, and after the fall of Luoyang City, he was displaced, suffering from loneliness - more importantly spiritual helplessness - after a lot of things, it was inevitable that he would become young and old, and his ambition would be tempered, and he would not have much thought about the future.

Therefore, his political talent is lacking, and he is only hanging down when he comes to the court every day, even if the ministers return the power to him, he can't handle it at all, but he suffers from it. But if you talk about life experience and political sense, after all, you have experienced a lot of things, and it is not comparable to ordinary teenagers.

Sima Ye foresaw that as Pei Gai's merits became greater and his fame grew, sooner or later he would launch an attack on the imperial power. At best, the Pei family will be in charge of the imperial court, and he will be a puppet for life; At worst, this world may change hands one day in the future. Even if Pei Gai himself does not want to usurp, he must consider whether he will be forced to arch him to the stage because of his large number of henchmen; And if Pei should be compared to Cao Cao, maybe Pei Jian, who is still babbling now, will be Cao Pi in the future......

The key is that when Cao Cao was in power, he was already in his twilight years, and Pei Wenyue was in the prime of his youth, maybe he would live longer than himself. So if Cao Cao is given two more years and then given him a better situation in the world, will Emperor Wei Wu really deserve his name? Will there come a time when you will have to abdicate? Or can you throw the burden to your son who doesn't know where to go yet?

Fortunately, Pei Gai is not rebellious in the end, let alone Hulu, as a child of a big family and a generation of eunuchs, most of them will take peaceful channels to seize power - that is, the so-called "Chan Rang". And since the new Mang Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, and then Cao Wei Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Sima Jin Dynasty of Wei, all Zen concessions, will be kind to the monarch of the previous dynasty. Therefore, if Sima Ye is as he said, "just want to live in peace" and live as long as possible, it is theoretically possible.

I think that the infant did not officially practice Zuo, gave Wang Mang the throne as the crown prince, was awarded the title of Duke Anding, and lived from the age of four to twenty in a down-to-earth manner, and it was not the Wang family who killed him in the end, but Liu Xuan. Liu Xie was forty years old in the Zen position, was named the Duke of Shanyang, and lived for a full fourteen years, and was buried with the rites of the Son of Heaven after his death, and dedicated his filial piety to the emperor. Cao Huan was 20 years old, was named King Chenliu, lived to be 58 years old, and was also buried with the rites of the Son of Heaven, and was honored by Emperor Yuan.

In the original history, this suave tradition was broken by Liu Yu, who sent people to strangle Sima Dewen after only one year on the throne, and then pretended to be called Emperor Gong...... Later, Emperor Liu Zhun of Song Shun, Emperor Xiao Baorong of Qihe, Emperor Xiao Fangzhi of Liang Jing, and even Emperor Yuan Shanjian of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, none of them ended well.

Therefore, if Sima Ye knew about the afterlife, he probably would not compromise easily-compromise is probably a dead end--but he doesn't know, then according to the previous events, even if he is a human, he should still be able to live comfortably, just like returning to the status of a vassal king. Drunk life and dreaming of death, for people with great ambitions, it is tantamount to death, and even more uncomfortable than death, but for Sima Ye, who regards life as a cloud and only seeks to have no worries about food and clothing, it may not be unacceptable......

That's why he said: "If this country is not inherited by the ancestors, and there is nothing to abandon, what if it is with Pei Qing or Zuqing?" ”

This sentence was whispered to Queen Liang in private, and the eunuchs and palace people were far away, and no one heard of them. And Queen Liang was so frightened by a word that she sweated heavily, and hurriedly bowed down to Sima Ye, the son of heaven, Chrysostom, don't lose your words. Although Sima Ye had any special actions in the palace, Queen Liang would find an opportunity to inform her grandfather Liang Fang, and Liang Fang would report to Liang Fen in turn, but today's words caused too much psychological impact on the queen, and she really didn't dare to announce it, so Liang Fang and Liang Fen were all unheard.

In the end, Sima Ye's heartfelt words were only heard by Queen Liang, and what she thought in her heart was still known only to her own family.

——————————

On the evening of the same day, Zu Yue went to the house to visit his second brother Zuna.

The Zu brothers have been separated for a long time, especially between Zu Na and Zu Ti and Zu Yue, and they do not often live together when they are still in Fanyang, and when they are in Jiankang, Zu Na lives in the city, but Zu Ti and Zu Yue live in a farmhouse outside the east fence gate, and they rarely interact with each other. When Zu Ti crossed to the north, he was worried that Hu was blazing and his future was dangerous, so he specially left his younger brother Zu Yue in Jiangnan, afraid that he would be young and vigorous, irritable and unscrupulous, so he asked Zu Naduo to take care of him. Zuna was then forced to take on the responsibilities of his brother, and restrained Zuyo like a caged bird......

Zu Yue wanted to escape from Zuna's side in the past, and finally crossed the river to Luo, but Zuna followed him like a shadow and enlisted to go north, so Zu Yue was expelled from Shangshu Province...... Therefore, after Zu Na arrived in Luoyang, Zu Yue only followed Zu Xiao to visit once, and then did not meet the call and never came to the door again. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to visit Zuna today, and Zu Shiyan couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The two sides sat opposite each other, greeting each other as if they were new acquaintances, and then rambling and gossiping about something completely meaningless - Zu Yue naturally wouldn't have come to the door to find the third brother to gossip in order to pass the boring time, but he didn't seem to have figured out how to speak, or he was shocked by the might of Brother Zuna, and he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Zuna roughly guessed Zu Yue's intention, so he waved his hand first and ordered the servants to retreat, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Shi Shao came to see me today, but is it for the sake of the court?" ”

Zu Yue nodded, and took advantage of the situation to ask: "Today, Brother mentioned three things before the Son of Heaven drove...... The third thing, how to reward Pei Wenyue, and then the Shangshu meeting, can there be a result? ”

Zuna's face sank: "Shi Shao, this is not something that Qing can hear." ”

Zu Yue smiled awkwardly: "Since the foolish brother has left the province, it is indeed not appropriate to hear it...... However, does the elder brother have a plan for this? ”

Zuna still shook his head: "This matter is not something that my brother can talk about in private. ”

Zuyo was choked again, and couldn't help but be depressed. He lowered his head, and after a long pause, he reopened his words after a long while: "Brother and Pei Wenyu will meet outside Jiankang City for the first time. At that time, the younger brother and the third brother lived in the farmhouse, and suddenly one day, Pei Wenyue, Wang Maohong, and Yu Yuangui came to visit......"

Zu Yue is lying, in fact, he and Pei Gai met, still before Zu Li, it was the night before Nantang to rob, on the way back, happened to be blocked by Pei Gai's carriage, and then Pei Gai said the word "forget the ancestors", which scared Zu Shishao......

Zu Yue was immersed in his memories, as if he was telling Zu Na, and as if he was talking to himself, he roughly stated how he and Zu Yi got to know and intersected with Pei Gai, and then made an alliance, and then sighed: "At the first meeting, it was just a weak crown scribe's ear, although Fengyi is good, don't be surprised. Who wants to be a few years old in a hurry, Pei Wenyue can go hand in hand with the third brother, restore Luoyang, and then settle in Guanzhong, and become a minister of the pillars of the country......

"The third brother is in his fifties, and his days are numbered, so he can worship the public mansion and the Zhuguo Dynasty in the twilight years, and I believe that his wish has been fulfilled, and he will be able to go down in history. However, Pei Wen is only about thirty, and he is already extremely popular with a bright future, and he doesn't know how to make Yi Hudi......"

When Zuna heard this, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he finally opened his mouth to interrupt Zu Yue's words: "Shishao, be cautious!" ”

Zu Yue sighed, Zu Ti is over fifty years old, in order to be an important minister of the court, I don't know how many years to live, it is estimated that the career is over, it is difficult to have great development - in fact, it is enough, I believe that even if Zu Shizhi closes his eyes immediately, he will not leave any regrets about his eunuch career. But Pei Gai is just thirty years old, and he is already under one person and above ten thousand, I really don't know how far he can develop in the future.

However, in this sense, Zuyo used an old word, "Iyuhudi", either intentionally or unintentionally. This canon is from "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Xiaomin", which says: "The sorrow of Confucius is also the sorrow of Confucius." If you seek it, you will be against it. If you can't make a plan, you will have to rely on. I regard it as a scheming, and I think it is a matter of Hudi? ”

The first half of the sentence lamented that the villain was vying for power and profit, which led to the chaos of the government, and finally said: "I look at the plan of the court, and I don't know what kind of situation it will fall into." Therefore, "Iyuhudi", although it means "I don't know how far it will go", naturally contains a derogatory connotation.

Zuna reprimanded him for this, and he was not allowed to speak falsely and use idioms indiscriminately!

Zu Yue smiled slightly bitterly, spread his hands, and said, "Foolish brother's words, don't you think so?" However, in the eyes of the elder brother, Pei Wenyue has restored Pingyang and captured Zhu Liu, and made this great achievement, how will the court reward him? If he goes further, where will he go? ”

Zuna frowned and said in a deep voice, "So what, how else?" The big Sima Tiger was in the pass, with 100,000 soldiers, and Liu Cangfa invaded the country's troops, but it was also broken, and he marched north with 10,000 people, that is, he chased Liu Yao and recovered Pingyang. From a certain point of view, even if the Shizhi Department is in charge, it may not be able to compare with the three armies of the Great Sima. Then the country is weak, although the chaos is peaceful, and the slaves are in the east, how can the great Sima be stopped from making meritorious contributions?

"Monarchs and ministers have a share, that is, the extreme of human ministers, and they are also human ministers, who dares to covet non-share? The so-called 'those who bravely shake the master are in danger, and those who cover the world are not rewarded', but Kuai Sheng wants to say that Han Xin is anti-Han and self-reliant, how can he really believe it?

"Today, Zichong is weak, not only Da Sima, but also Shizhi, that is, Xun Taiwei, Liang Situ's courage and merit, who is not above the Son of Heaven? Should they all be 'in danger' and 'unrewarded'? Since the Jin family since Gaozu (Sima Yi) stirred up Zuo Wei, Taizu (Sima Zhao) Dingshu, Shizu (Sima Yan) Pingwu, then there is the world, the merit of generations, added to the heir, how can people and ministers be compared? Even if it has the power to cover the sky, it may not be able to shake the foundation. Shi Shao is not exempt from worry. ”

Zu Yue shook his head and said: "Whether you are too worried, in my brother's heart, I am afraid that it may not be so." That is, in today's court, the meaning of the ministers, such as Xun Taiwei, Liang Situ, etc., may not be careless, but they just cover their ears and steal the bell, pretending not to know. Brother, even if Pei Wenyue has no manipulation and recklessness, we must prevent him from becoming a man and reckless, we are all Jin ministers, how can we not take precautions and plan in advance? ”

Zuna taught him: "You are too much! What is the will of heaven, extraordinary foolishness can be unpredictable; The general trend is not what I can look at, what do you say to prevent the slightest and make a plan in advance? Even if you want to plan, what do you want to do? Follow Zhou Bo and Chen Pingzhi to destroy Lu, or Han Huan's five marquis to destroy Liang Ji? Da Sima must not be in Luoyang City! ”

After a pause, he then said: "As in the past, the three rebellions of Huainan were all destroyed, what is the reason?" Sejong (Sima Shi) and Shizu are still Wei ministers, meritorious but not guilty, then those who want to ask for it are traitors - does Qing want to be a traitor?! ”

Zu Youxin said Third Brother, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, but I can't refute it...... Who said that Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were "meritorious but not guilty" back then? Could it be that Emperor Cao Fang of Wei abdicated by himself? Could it be that Cao Chao, the noble townshipman, died of natural causes? It's just that as a Jin minister, he would never dare to easily announce the evil things that Sima Shi's brothers had done.

He roughly understood what Zu Yue meant, Zu Yue said that he had to rely on a palace coup d'état to overthrow the ministers-Zhou and Chen destroyed Lu and Lu as such, and the eunuch Wuhou killed Liang Ji as well, and Zu Na did not dare to give an example, Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Change" and got rid of Cao Shuang, which is also the same. But alas, Pei Gai is not in the capital at all, how can you use the coup d'état to get rid of him?

As for those who hold high the banner and send troops to crusade, they have not achieved anything since ancient times, just like the "Huainan Three Rebellions" during the reign of the Sima clan - Ling Huyu, Wang Ling, Wen Qin, Biqiu Jian, plus Zhuge Dan, all of them ended up in the death of the clan. And Zuna said in advance, I see that even Shizhi's soldiers and horses may not be able to compare with the three armies of Da Sima!
