Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Guanzhong Messenger
Sima Ying is a simple-minded person, he immediately expressed his thoughts, and said: "Why don't you want to ...... this king?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhi came outside, and shouted as he entered the door: "Lord Wang...... Rajah...... There is news of the king of Luoyang Qi......"
Sima Ying caught it and said, "Lu Zhi, what's the matter, how is King Qi?" ”
Lu Zhi saw Liu Yuan and said, "It turns out that the general is also here." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, since I came to Yecheng, I haven't visited the prince, and I made a special trip to visit the mansion today."
"This ......"
"Lu Zhi, it's okay for you to say it."
"Lord, someone came to report, King Qi is now proud of his achievements, he doesn't put anyone in his eyes, he doesn't enter the court, he makes decisions in the palace in every detail, builds a lot of construction, builds the palace of King Qi, exceeds the specifications of the prince, and in order to be good at government affairs for a long time, he also set up King Kang's eight-year-old son King Qinghe as the crown prince, and set himself up as the prince and prince, and the power is monopolized, the prince, the people of Luoyang also have a rumor that the king of Qi will ......"
Sima Ying asked, "Lu Zhi has something to say quickly." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, the people rumor that King Qi is suspected of following in Sima Lun's footsteps."
"You're saying that King Qi is also going to be the emperor!"
"Yes, it is rumored that King Qi is very upset with his father Sima You, thinking that if Sima You was not forced by the previous emperor to become a vassal, maybe the throne would be their family, and he would only be the emperor to take back the throne that belonged to their family."
"It's really shameless and boring, he wants to be compared with the king of Xianqi, it's a joke, this king should kill this kind of person when he sees it!" Sima Ying was angry when he heard that someone wanted to be the emperor, and in his opinion, the most qualified person to be the emperor was him Sima Ying.
"Don't be angry, what the king of Qi did gave the kings an excuse to crusade, it depends on who raised the banner of righteousness, I think at the beginning, the king of Qi was the first to raise the banner of righteousness, and destroyed the king of Zhao, but now it is going to be windy and rainy, if you are slow, I am afraid that you will have to make wedding dresses for others, just like this time, the prince sent the most troops, the most significant military achievements, and what did he get in the end, of course, this time the merit was not accepted, but also the prince retreated bravely, but even in the court, the king of Qi may not be able to tolerate you, so according to the eyes of his subordinates, should be the first to raise the banner of righteousness, kill the king of Qi, and return the people to a bright future! ”
Liu Yuan made a generous statement, Sima Ying was moved, and he said to Lu Zhi: "Lu Zhi, do you think we should send troops to Luoyang?" ”
Lu Zhidao: "The prince should not be moved lightly, his subordinates think that your good reputation is not easy to come by, so you should keep quiet and endure for a while, and wait and see what happens." ”
Liu Yuan said: "Lord Wang, the opportunity is fleeting, if you take a step slowly, you will be robbed by others, and your subordinates can contact the people in the rivers and lakes of Guiyitang to help the prince, Guiyitang is a Jianghu organization established by my nephew, as long as the subordinates say a word, they can serve the prince." ”
"Guiyitang I know, your nephew I also know, I think when his gambling house opened also invited the king, Liu Yao young talent, but it can be made, as for the king to serve, it is not impossible, remember that the king sent troops to Luoyang, when he attacked the king of Zhao, heroes from all walks of life came to serve, and organized a spontaneous army of rebels outside the army, among them were knights, swordsmen, farmers, workshop owners and scholars, this rebel army played an immeasurable role in wartime, and then I returned to Yecheng and disbanded them, Liu Yuan, You said that Guiyitang is willing to serve the king, and if there is another war, the king can let you organize Guiyitang into a righteous army to follow you. ”
When Lu Zhi heard this, he directly ordered Liu Yuan to expel the guest: "Liu joins the army, I still have something to discuss with the prince, you can avoid it first." ”
Liu Yuan's face was not good-looking, and Sima Ying said: "Liu Yuan, you go back to rest first, and as soon as there is an appointment, I will call you over immediately." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will take their leave." Liu Yuan said and withdrew from the mansion.
As soon as Liu Yuan left, Lu Zhi said: "Lord Wang, you can't show your attitude in front of Liu Yuan, this person is scheming, even if there is really a war, you can't appoint him and the people of Guiyitang." ”
"Why? I want to help the king in the first place, but everyone has it. ”
"Let's talk about Liu Yuan first, this person can't be of great use, he has asked the first emperor to appoint him as a general several times, but the people in the court guessed that once he made a contribution, it would be difficult to control, and the biggest danger was that he led the five departments to subvert the Central Plains of the Great Jin, so Liu Yuan has not been able to show his skills in Luoyang, and now the prince promised to appoint him, this matter must not be, his subordinates think that appointing Liu Yuan is tantamount to luring the wolf into the room, Liu Yao's Guiyi Hall is to gather the masters of the Huns, and organize them, isn't it to dig their own graves for the Great Jin Dynasty, for the Great Jin world, Even if the prince can rule the world in the future, he doesn't want to see the Xiongnu invade our Central Plains. ”
When Sima Ying heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he asked: "Lu Zhi, since we can't appoint the Huns, won't everything be fine if we eradicate the Liu Yuan clan?" ”
"No, Cao Cao knew that the Huns were difficult to attach, so he didn't kill them, but divided them into five parts and strengthened their control.
"So what should we do?"
"Lord Wang, we have done a good job, and transferring Liu Yuan to Yecheng is our solution."
Only then did Sima Ying understand: "It turns out that you want to put Liu Yuan here as a hostage, this method has already been used by the first emperor, no wonder you want to seal Liu Yuan, hehehehe." ”
"Lord Wang, in fact, this move was thought up by Zu Ti and Liu Kun, they first discovered that Guiyitang had bad intentions, so they told their subordinates, and their subordinates took this move."
"Zu Ti Liu Kun is really a talent, and the two of them will be reused in the future."
"Lord Wang, as long as you remember one sentence to Liu Yuan in the future, no matter what reason Liu Yuan uses to return to the state, you only have two words, not allowed!"
Sima Ying nodded, and said, "Lu Zhi, just now Liu Yuan said that I would send troops to Luoyang, do you think this matter is really inappropriate?" ”
"Yes, the prince has just recovered and should recuperate, the best way is to stand still and wait and see what happens."
"But the king of Qi has been greatly disappointed, and the people all grit their teeth and hate it, if they send troops to Luoyang, they will definitely be able to build immortal achievements, in that case, the position of the emperor's younger brother is at your fingertips!" Sima Ying clenched her fists.
"Don't be reckless, Lord ......"
"Lord Wang, the king of the river has a messenger here!" A soldier ran in to report.
"Please!"
A person who looked like a civil official came to the living room, Sima Ying saw that it was Li Han, the henchman of the King of Hejian, Li Han took out the text of Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, without waiting for politeness, Sima Ying took it and took it open, it turned out that the King of Hejian was going to unite him to crusade against the King of Qi.
Li Han agitated again: "Lord, my prince said that you are a close relative of the royal family and should be in charge of the government, how can you do it from being a close relative, the king of Hejian also said that if it happens, I will worship you as the emperor's brother!" ”
When Sima Ying heard this, obediently, the imperial brother was finally about to come out! Didn't I think about it all night to be the emperor's brother, how could I miss the opportunity now!
