Chapter 80: The Verge
The rain is still falling
Inside Luoyang City
King Chu glanced at King Changshan fiercely, sat down slowly, and said gloomily, Ah Yi, what do you think I want to do?
King Changshan gently put down the wine bottle, raised his head and smiled at King Chu, and said, What does Brother Wang want to do, only you know? How do you know if you're a younger brother?
King Chu snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored King Changshan.
King Changshan looked at the angry appearance of the King of Chu, and his heart was also thoughtful, his brother, he is the same father and mother, the King of Chu likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and likes to read the Spring and Autumn Period of Zuo Chuan, which is very different from those vassal kings of the Sima clan who only know how to spend time and drink and get drunk and drunk.
When his father was still alive, he wanted to send these princes to the vassals, and the king of Qin and the king of Huainan were reluctant to give up the prosperous life in Luoyang, but his own royal brother was ecstatic. Since arriving in Jingzhou, the king of Chu forcibly seized most of the county soldiers, including Nanyang Jiangxia in Jiangling South County, and formed a number of powerful troops.
However, his brother Wang didn't want to go to Jingzhou, what he wanted most was Guanzhong, but unfortunately, he was not Empress Yang's biological flesh and blood, how could such an important place be handed over to a son who was not born to him? This is also what makes King Chu the most worried! Although Chu is rich, it cannot be the foundation. The real strategic places are Hebei and Guanzhong, but his father did not hand it over to Brother Wang, and Brother Wang even felt that his father did not trust him.
King Chu waved his hand and said, Ah Yi, don't talk to me, if you have any ideas, just say it, here are the two of us, you just say it, don't care about anything else.
The two brothers, King Chu and King Changshan, were plotting a big thing, and on the other hand, the King of Runan returned to his residence, and he was also panicked in his heart, and he felt a little panicked.
King Runan has been waiting for the emperor's edict to edict him into the auxiliary government of the court, although Yang Jun at that time repeatedly urged him to go to Yuzhou to take office, but, the king of Runan just refused to go, but, the result was disappointing, the emperor left, but the edict appointed Yang Jun as the only minister!
After King Runan returned to the palace, he immediately gathered his henchmen to discuss the next step.
King Runan said anxiously to all the henchmen, what can I do? What can I do? An expression of a dead mom and dad. The henchmen of King Runan looked at King Runan's crying face, and they all felt a little speechless about this prince.
He Shao, the court lieutenant, stood up and said to King Runan, the prince is just missing an edict at the moment, but you are still in a favorable position, because the military power is not in the hands of Yang Jun, and Yang Jun has no one in the court, and no one will help Yang Jun, what we have to do now is to lead the troops into the palace and slaughter Yang Jun, an overbearing guy, and then, you are the auxiliary minister!
When the king of Runan heard this, his heart was shocked! He was still scared. asked He Shao, is this really possible? But where do we come from? And what if I join forces at that time, Yang Jun will mobilize the forbidden army to besiege and kill me? Am I not dead?
At this time, Xu Da stood up and comforted, Lord Wang, now Wang You of the Northern Army in the forbidden army will definitely not support Yang Jun, and besides, the prince is the captain of the Tun cavalry, and there are more than 2,000 cavalry under his command, we should start now, quickly gather the prince, kill Yang Jun, and stabilize the situation.
Seeing that King Runan was still hesitating, someone stood up and said, Lord Wang, now your reputation inside and outside the court is the highest, as long as you ascend and shout, it must be Yunqi's response, Lord Wang, what are you still hesitating about?
Although the king of Runan felt that what these henchmen said was reasonable, but after all, he was still timid in his heart, not only did he not have the courage to openly question the authenticity of the emperor's edict, but he didn't even dare to enter the palace to cry for Emperor Wu, so he had to hide outside the palace gate and cry, after crying, the king of Runan went out of the city overnight and lived in the military camp of his son Sima Ju, and protected himself.
What King Runan didn't know was that his departure caused a chain reaction in Luoyang City, first of all, Yang Jun learned that King Runan had left Luoyang and lived in Sima Ju's military camp, and he was shocked, Yang Jun's first thought was that Sima Liang, the old guy, was going to lead troops to kill himself!
Yang Jun was already panicked at this time, and hurriedly called his second brother Yang Jue, third brother Yang Ji, nephew Li Bin, Zhang Shao and others to discuss countermeasures. The third brother Yang Ji is a military general, who has served as a local governor and also commanded the Luoyang Forbidden Army. Fighting the tiger brothers and going into battle father and son, Yang Jun had the highest expectations for him, waiting for Yang Ji to take the initiative to ask for help.
Who knows, whether it is the second brother or the third brother, they all said in unison that they should shake hands with King Runan and make peace, and his nephew Li Bin also echoed and said, the second uncle and the third uncle are right. When Yang Jun heard this, he scolded in his heart, why do you sell criticism, and still expect you to fight the tiger brothers? That's going to sell me?
At this time, Yang Jun's other nephew Zhang Shao said, we should strike first! Take the initiative to attack the King of Runan! Let's just say that he intends to rebel!
Yang Jun heard Zhang Shao say this, this can be regarded as going to his heart, but the problem is, if you want to attack the king of Runan, you have to have soldiers? Where do the soldiers come from?
Zhang Shao smiled and said, there are soldiers, I am building the Junyang Imperial Mausoleum for the emperor with Sikong Shijian, and the people who build the imperial mausoleum are all soldiers, as long as these soldiers are gathered, they are an army.
When Yang Jun heard Zhang Shao say this, he was overjoyed and immediately drafted an edict, ordering Sikong Shijian and Zhang Shao to quickly assemble troops and lead the troops to defeat the king of Runan.
King Zhao was resting in the annex at this time, looking at the secret report passed by Sun Xiu, King Zhao frowned slightly, and said to himself, Duan Chen? Duanbe Xianbei?
King Yan is already preparing to leave Luoyang and return to Jicheng. Before leaving, Sima Jian, the king of Le'an, wanted to come over to bid farewell to King Yan.
King Le'an has been walking side by side with King Yan, and when he walked to the gate of Luoyang City, King Le'an stopped, arched his hand towards King Yan, and said, Taixuan, have you been doing well in Jicheng all these years?
King Yan smiled and waved his hand, these years have not been good or bad, it is not worth mentioning, I hope that Brother Wang will not admonish me to slack off on government affairs and waste border defense!
King Le'an came up and held King Yan's hand tightly, clenched it hard, and said, Taixuan, I have a bad premonition, I hope our brothers can find a quiet place in this troubled water!
King Yan got rid of King Le'an's hand, and said with a smile, Brother Wang, although it has not yet reached the point where the building is about to fall, it is far from what you and my brother can control as much as you want.
King Le'an also smiled, it will be, okay, Taixuan, it's time not to leave, you should leave early. Speaking of this, King Le'an paused, put his head to King Yan's ear, and said, you bastard boy, hurry up and give us more branches and leaves, and extend the heirs, do you want to send you a few beauties for your brother? After finishing speaking, King Le'an smiled lewdly at King Yan with bad intentions.
King Yan was also very helpless about his brother, so he had to arch his hand and leave, Brother Wang. After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage and headed north.
King Le'an watched the carriage of King Yan and his party drift away, and let out a long sigh......
