Chapter 115: The Second King Enters Beijing
Chapter 115: The Second King Enters Beijing
The first year of Yongxi, that is, 290 A.D., passed slowly.
A lot of things happened this year, and the clans and towns around the country stared at Luoyang one by one; Far away from the Central Plains, in the Liaodong and Liaoxi regions, a fierce beast is consolidating its territory, and when it completes the integration of its power accumulation, it will be a terrible nightmare for the Central Plains; The Qiang people in the Guanlong region have become more and more unable to endure the harsh taxes and labor of the imperial court, and everyone is waiting for an opportunity......
It has reached such a critical juncture, Yang Jun just made a stupid move again, and issued an edict: the children of the clan and the officials of the clan are not allowed to visit the imperial tomb without the permission of the emperor. As soon as this edict came out, the ministers and clans were in an uproar, and they all felt that it was too ridiculous, the emperor did not allow his relatives to worship his dead father? What!
In the face of all kinds of doubts, Yang Jun told everyone seriously: don't make a fuss, not to know the tomb is the ancestral motto of the Sima family.
Everyone naturally knows how the Sima family's world came about. At that time, Sima Yi paralyzed his political rival Cao Shuang by pretending to be sick and stupid, and then successfully launched a coup d'Γ©tat and seized Cao Wei's power when Cao Shuang accompanied the emperor to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship Emperor Wei Ming.
Afterwards, Sima Yi summed up the lessons and learned the lesson, for fear that others would steal his tricks, so when he was dying, he instructed his son not to visit the tomb, and to always beware of others stabbing him in the back. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao really followed their father's will, and did not go to Sima Yi's mausoleum once to worship.
When it came time for Sima Yan to dominate the world and consolidate the country, no one could threaten the world of the Sima family, so Sima Yan twice paid tribute to the Chongyang Mausoleum of his father Emperor Wen and Sima Zhao's Chongyang Mausoleum and his uncle Emperor Jingdi Sima Shi's Junping Mausoleum.
The Sima family claims to govern the world with filial piety, but they don't even go to the ancestral grave to worship, isn't this a slap in the face? Sima Yi's ancestral precept is only applicable to the extraordinary period when the situation is unstable, since Sima Yan has made an exception when he was in power, this ancestral precept should be abolished, but now, under the instruction of Yang Jun, the edict issued by Emperor Hui can only prove that Yang Jun is a strong stubble, he is weak-hearted, he is afraid! He was afraid that when he accompanied the emperor to the tomb, someone would take the opportunity to take his old nest; He was even more afraid that those clan towns would use the tomb as an excuse to go to Luoyang to meet and plot against him.
Yang Jun is afraid, although he took over everything in Luoyang and enhanced a lot of security, but, the Luoyang Forbidden Army is known as the most elite in the world, although there is no problem in quality, but there is a difference in quantity, it is obviously not possible to command the world with the forbidden army, although the soldiers and horses in the clans and towns around the country have strict quantitative control, but in fact, as long as the war is together, it can be easy to recruit tens of thousands of troops, forming a quantitative crush, no matter how elite your forbidden army is, it can't be stopped. In addition, Yang Jun does not have any fierce generals under him, so he must be empty in his heart.
Although the pattern of balanced strength pursued by Sima Yan has been completely completed in the central part, the pattern of each feudal town is still the same, with the King of Qin in Guanzhong and the King of Zhao in Yecheng. The King of Runan in Xuchang, the King of Chu in Jingzhou, and the King of Huainan in Shouchun, these powerful princes stared at Luoyang and Yang Jun, which made Yang Jun's heart even more uneasy.
In Yang Jun's view, among the various feudal towns, the King of Qin is his grandson, and his personality is relatively benevolent, and the relationship between the King of Qin and the Yang family is the most intimate among the feudal towns, so the Guanzhong region is the most reassuring for Yang Jun. King Runan and King Zhao, one is a defeated general, the other has never been good, and Princess Zhao has died recently, so these two guys who have no sharp spirit will be put aside first.
What Yang Jun is most afraid of is the fierce and decisive King of Chu and the young and vigorous King of Huainan, especially the King of Chu, in Yang Jun's opinion, it is simply his own confidant. Just when Yang Jun racked his brains and calculated how to get rid of the king of Chu, the king of Chu suddenly wrote from Jingzhou and took the initiative to ask to enter the court as an official.
Yang Jun was very happy, even if he agreed to allow Sima Wei, the king of Chu, to enter the court, Yang Jun thought that the tiger of the king of Chu was going to pull out his sharp teeth and jump into the cage of Luoyang. He was so happy that he didn't even notice that a net was slowly opening. His end is near.
Luoyang City
Ten miles on the outskirts of the city
A cavalry of more than 500 people is slowly moving towards Luoyang, this group of cavalry is quiet and solemn on the way, not making a sound, but it is full of murderous energy, making people feel a sense of oppression.
The leader is the King of Chu with bright clothes, the King of Chu waved his hand, the team stopped suddenly, it looked extremely elite, Sun Hong, the prince of Changshi, hurriedly rode his horse to the King of Chu, and said to the King of Chu: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?" β
The king of Chu waved his hand and signaled the team to rest for a while, and then said to Gongsun Hong: "The front is Luoyang, right?" β
Gongsun Hong lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, this place is less than ten miles away from Luoyang, and someone has been sent to inform us to enter the city, and we can enter Beijing in half an hour!" β
The king of Chu didn't speak, but looked at the outline of Luoyang City from a distance on the official road, and a different emotion rose in his heart, and even there was some strange light in his eyes, Luoyang, Luoyang, this king finally came to Luoyang.
Since Li Zhao Mengguan came to Jingzhou to meet him, the king of Chu has endured patience for many months, has been waiting for the right time, seeking an excuse to enter Beijing, during this time, the king of Chu has also contacted Empress Jia and his brother King Changshan, and kept abreast of the situation in the capital Luoyang.
After waiting for a few months, the king of Chu finally made all preparations and sent a letter to the imperial court, the content of which was roughly the longing for his mother and the emperor's brother, and hoped to return to Luoyang to be a Beijing official. Yang Jun was very happy with this letter, Yang Jun didn't realize that there was a strange aura revealed in it, but he just felt that the king of Chu was far away from his own territory, there were no soldiers and no generals, and he was just a prince, and he came to Luoyang by throwing himself into the net, wouldn't he let me Yang Jun take care of it?
At this time, Sun Hong, the elder historian of the king of Chu, came to the king of Chu and said to the king of Chu in a low voice: "Your Highness, the king of Huainan is behind us, do you want to wait for a while?" β
When the King of Chu heard what Gongsun Hong said, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Is the King of Huainan also here, don't wait, let's go to the city first!" After saying that, he rode his horse and whipped to Luoyang.
After a while, another team of men and horses slowly drove in.
I saw a beautifully decorated four-seater carriage in the middle of the long length, and on either side stood a group of elite knights, whose eyes were staring at the road in front of them, and as for the women's cries and frolicking in the carriage, they should not have heard it.
In the carriage, King Huainan leaned on the soft blanket, enjoying the massage of the glamorous maids, humming a small song with incomplete tones in his mouth, and his expression was indescribably proud.
"Your Highness, come, eat a fruit." A bewitching woman exhaled like an orchid, her lips opened lightly, and the glutinous sound made the king of Huainan feel comfortable.
King Huainan gently hooked her tender chin and said, "Don't you want to be so courteous?" β
"I hate it, the slave family is not! Your Highness is good or bad! The bewitching woman pouted, threw herself into his arms and said coquettishly.
King Huainan infatuated and stroked the green silk of this bewitching woman, and said in a frivolous tone: "Don't blame this king, if you want to blame, blame you for being too beautiful!" After that, as soon as King Huainan turned over, he knocked down the bewitching woman, and was about to do something unspeakable, when an eerie and indifferent voice suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Your Highness, the King of Chu has left, are we going to catch up with them?" β
When the king of Huainan heard this, he suddenly got up and lifted the curtain, stared at the person outside the carriage fiercely, and said viciously: "Chase a fart, chase it!" Get out of the way! β
In February 291, the twenty-one-year-old king of Chu and the eighteen-year-old king of Huainan arrived in Luoyang at the same time. Is this a coincidence? Of course not, Yang Jun may be immersed in the joy of getting rid of a fierce opponent, and he didn't realize that the sky that was originally clear suddenly became extremely gloomy......
