Chapter 400: Finale

Previous Chapter

The Yizhou War was over, Jiang Sheng appointed Pang Tong as the pastor of Yizhou, named Meng Shu as the barbarian king, guarded Yunnan for generations, and let Meng Shu's three sons enter the court as officials, and Zhuge Liang was worshiped by Jiang Sheng as the deputy prime minister of the Ministry of Law and Politics.

After dealing with political affairs, Jiang Sheng ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be buried again, if Guan Yu's body could not be found, he would make a well-dressed mound, and Jiang Sheng would give generous condolences to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's descendants, and add officials to the knighthood, which can be regarded as stabilizing the heart of Shu Han Wenwu.

After experiencing the mass strife in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the land of China ushered in great unification.

At this time, the Roman Empire in the west was in a situation of chaos, and the Council of Elders became the de facto ruling group, and they were extremely unwelcoming to visitors from the East, and the reopening of the western section of the Silk Road could only be suspended.

A few years later, Rome was reunited, the army was restored, and coveting the riches of the East, sent a large army to the east, but was defeated by the rapidly rising Sassanid Empire, which continued to expand in power and destroy the Kushan Empire.

The Sassanid Dynasty conquered the Jin Dynasty in the east and was annihilated by the superior forces of the Northwest Theater of the Great Jin, and the Sassanid King realized the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty and sent a letter to Jiang Sheng to apologize and hope to live in peace with the Great Jin.

Jiang Rui, the crown prince of the prison state, sent an envoy to the Sassanid Dynasty on behalf of the Great Jin Dynasty and recovered the countries in the Western Regions occupied by the Sassanid Dynasty, which was a very successful diplomacy.

Jiang Sheng was very satisfied with this negotiation and decided to reward the members of the mission.

Jiang Rui played: "Father, this time to recover the territory of the Western Regions, there is a person who has made great contributions, and the son asks his father to reward him!" ”

"Oh? There are also such talents under the prince's door? Of course, you have to pay for it! ”

Jiang Rui said: "Sima Yi, don't you want to thank you?" ”

Jiang Sheng listened, "Sima Yi? Isn't this the main owner of the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty? ”

Sima Yi has been a staff member in the prince's mansion for a long time, but he has not performed too prominently, and no one in the court knows about it.

Jiang Rui saw Jiang Sheng frowning, and for some reason, he didn't dare to ask, and the court became cold.

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a while before he said: "Since the prince said that you have made great contributions, you must be the prince's reused talent, and you should be rewarded!" ”

Sima Yi won the title of marquis of the township, but he did not have an actual position, which surprised everyone.

After some time, Zhuge Liang fell seriously ill and died at home in Luoyang, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, and Xun You also drove west, and only Xun Yu, who returned to the court, supported the operation of Jiang Sheng's court.

Even if most of the positions in the imperial court were vacant, Jiang Sheng did not promote young people anymore, and a large number of talented civil and military talents were backlogged in various ministries and departments, and he wanted to leave these people to Jiang Rui.

Jiang Sheng, who is in his seventies, is already gray-haired, and he is getting older and older when he sees that the important civil and military ministers who have followed him for decades have left one by one.

Jiang Sheng chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, announced his abdication, and the crown prince Jiang Rui ascended the throne and respected Jiang Sheng as the emperor.

After Jiang Rui ascended the throne, he changed his name to Chengtian and continued to pursue Jiang Sheng's political strategy, and the country was strong and the people were rich.

In the following year, Jiang Rui vigorously promoted talents and filled the vacancies in the provinces and ministries of the imperial court, but Sima Yi was not promoted, which was specially requested by Jiang Sheng, and the children of Sima Yi's family were not allowed to serve as officials above the fourth grade.

According to the meaning of Emperor Jiang Sheng, a new pavilion was built next to the Taimiao Temple in Luoyang.

From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, countless good ministers and famous generals followed Jiang Sheng to struggle, and now due to his advanced age, they have passed away one after another, Jiang Sheng knows that his time is short, and he doesn't want future generations to forget the great achievements of these people, so he let Jiang Rui build this meritorious pavilion.

There is a statue of a military general in the pavilion, the statue of Jiang Sheng in the middle, the statue of Wenchen on the left, and the statue of a military general on the right.

The Pavilion of Meritorious Heroes enshrines 20 Wenchen, Tian Feng, Xianpei, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Cao Cao, etc.

Twenty military generals were enshrined, including Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan, etc.

In order to commemorate the loyal and unparalleled Guan Yu, Jiang Sheng built a Guan Emperor Temple at the place where Guan Yu threw himself into the river.

On a summer afternoon, the white-haired Jiang Sheng sat on the steps in front of the Meritorious Pavilion, and only Zhao Yun came tremblingly.

"Zilong, come, sit with me, there are such a big bunch of old things here, only our old brothers are left."

"Big brother, their old things are fighting the world over there, waiting for our brothers to go over and command, ahem"

"Yes, these days they visit me in their dreams every day, they miss me, I have to go see them in a few days!"

"That's right, then the old minister will take a step first, hand them a message, and say that the emperor is going to see them, and everyone should prepare delicious food and wine earlier."

Zhao Yun said, walking towards the Meritorious Pavilion on crutches, Jiang Sheng also got up, and the two brothers helped each other into the Meritorious Pavilion.

Zhao Yun looked at the statues of civil and military affairs one by one, and then sat next to his statues.

He chattered with Jiang Sheng, and then leaned on his statue to close his eyes forever.

Jiang Sheng wiped his tears and muttered, "Zilong, I still have a secret I haven't told you, I actually traveled from the future world, and now I have to go back." Before I go, though, I have one more thing to do. ”

Emperor Wen of the Jin Dynasty Jiang Rui was ordered by Emperor Taishang to accompany Emperor Jiang Sheng to Changshan.

After arriving at Changshan, Jiang Sheng only took Qin Juan up the mountain, Jiang Rui waited at the bottom of the mountain, and the guards who went up were also those famous generals, guarding from afar.

In the past few years, Jiang Sheng's wives have also left one after another, only the younger Qin Juan has been by his side, and Jiang Sheng has never given Qin Juan a name, now is the time.

Jiang Sheng came to Tong Lin's tomb and sat down against the tombstone, while Qin Juan knelt beside him.

Jiang Sheng babbled a lot, all of which were words that he had been holding back for decades, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Tong Lin, the Tong Lin who fed medicine mouth-to-mouth, the Tong Lin who sacrificed his life to save him, and the Tong Lin who made Jiang Sheng haunt his dreams.

In the end, Jiang Sheng said: "Tong Lin, in fact, I have a secret that I haven't told you, I am a special forces of the People's Liberation Army from the 21st century, and now I am going back, it's time to tell you." ”

Qin Juan listened on the side, she was brought up by Tong Lin, and she also had a special feeling for Tong Lin, he thought that Jiang Sheng was talking nonsense too sadly, so he persuaded Jiang Sheng not to be too sad.

Jiang Sheng ordered Zhao Tong to pass Jiang Rui up, and then dictated the edict: Changshan was set as the location of the imperial mausoleum, Jiang Sheng was buried with Tong Lin after his death, and the rest of the concubines were buried around, so that Jiang Rui respected Qin Juan as the queen mother and sent her to the end of her filial piety.

Jiang Rui immediately gave Qin Juan the gift of heirs, and announced the holy decree in accordance with Jiang Sheng's wishes.

On the other hand, when Jiang Sheng was leaning on Tong Lin's tombstone, he was already out of breath.

Jiang Rui cried out in grief: "My father has died!" ”

The accompanying civil and military officials and soldiers knelt on the ground and cried: "The Emperor is leaving!" ”

After Jiang Sheng's funeral was handled, Jiang Rui worked hard to carry forward the great foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty and become a powerful country dominating the world.

The Western Jin Dynasty went through 17 emperors, lasted 298 years, after the north and south split, the northern princes melee, the south continued the orthodoxy of the Jin Dynasty, known as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history, and then the Eastern Jin Dynasty was divided, and the whole country fell into the rebellion of the sixteen kings, and finally unified in the Sui Dynasty.
