Chapter 447: New Year's Shock

(Cat flutter Chinese) p

The 20th year of Taiyuan is another year of great changes for all parties.

With the outbreak of disasters in Hexi, Wei and Yan fought fiercely, and finally the Yan army was defeated and joined.

And the defeat of Shenhepi also led to the death of Murong Chui, who had been rampant for many years.

After Murong Chui fell ill and died, Murong Bao succeeded to the throne, and immediately after, the Wei king Tuoba Jue launched a large-scale attack on Hou Yan.

At the same time, it also opened the prelude to the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army.

In the face of the Jin army going north, the garrisons in various parts of Houyan were crushed at the first touch, and the counties of Qingyan were recovered by the Northern Jin army one after another.

The series of victories achieved by the Northern Expedition not only did not bring the Southern Dynasties to rejuvenation, but intensified internal contradictions.

After the seventeenth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, Sima Yao, either bright or dark, adopted a series of measures to gradually control most of the core states and counties except for remote prefectures and counties such as Guangzhou, Jiao, Yi, and Liang.

From this point of view, Sima Yao is not useless, and has political skills above the average level.

After controlling the local power through Xi Hui, Wang Gong, Yin Zhongkan, Mao Xuan and other henchmen, Sima Yao set his sights on the central power controlled by King Huiji.

Since the Northern Expedition, in addition to Liu Yu's repeated achievements, Sima Shangzhi, the king of Huiji, was also defeated in Dunqiu.

When the news of the defeat came, the momentum of the party of the king of Huiji was greatly reduced, and even the king of Huiji was no longer arrogant in the past.

Sima Yao even took the opportunity to force Sima Daozi to step down as the assassin of Xuzhou, so that another state and county quilt was taken.

In the face of Zi's aggressive attitude, Sima Daozi could no longer sit still, so he kept urging Wang Guobao to take action.

Under the persecution of Sima Daozi, Wang Baoguo thought about it day and night, and finally found a chance to get off when the Spring Festival came.

……

With the victory of the Northern Expedition, Sima Yao thought that the general trend had been decided, and he lost his life goal.

The ambition that had just been stirred up by the Northern Expedition gradually dissipated in the wine, and it became drunk and dreamy all day long.

Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, Sima Yao's behavior is even more debauched, often holding his concubines and drinking day and night, and rarely when he is completely awake.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the ministers all went home for the New Year, and the son had nothing to do, so he had to hide in the harem and drink.

Since the death of Wang Fahui and Chen Guinu one after another, the harem has become Zhang Guiren.

Although Zhang Guiren never gave birth to a son and a half daughter, he was quite favored in the palace because of his large amount of alcohol.

Every time Sima Yao drinks in the palace, Zhang Guiren is indispensable.

As usual, Zhang Guiren arranged a banquet in the dormitory and waited for the arrival of his son.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door.

Somehow, suddenly Zhang Guiren trembled, and almost spilled the wine in the jug in his hand.

"Hahaha, Concubine Ai is really my confidant in wine, and she has prepared delicious food and wine early."

With a ridicule, Zi walked into the dormitory with a vague footstep.

Zhang Guiren glanced at Sima Yao with complicated eyes, his eyes contained complex emotions such as nervousness and fear, and there was also a trace of unwillingness.

And when the son looked at her, Zhang Guiren quickly withdrew his gaze.

After Zi and Zhang Guiren sat down, in addition to leaving a few palace maids to serve, others such as guards and chamberlains all left the palace.

It's not that everyone is irresponsible, but everyone didn't expect that someone would dare to murder their son in the forbidden palace.

In addition, the son and the concubine don't like to be around when they drink.

After all, once you get drunk, you will inevitably make some unbearable moves.

Don't be inconvenient for the guards to see at that time, even the inner servants have to hide far away.

After the salute, Zhang Guiren sat down leaning on his son, picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine for his son.

But when he heard this, he said with a surprised face: "Is Concubine Ai uncomfortable today?" Why don't you look very good? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, I've been busy with the New Year recently, and I haven't rested well."

After Zhang Guiren glanced at it meaningfully, he had been staring at the wine and beauties since he came in, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc.

"No wonder! Then you have to have a good rest, I still point to my concubine to accompany the wine. Zi said disapprovingly.

Zi is rich all over the world, sitting in three palaces and six courtyards, and rarely puts his mind on a woman, even if this woman is very favored by Zi.

Sima Yao's eyes were always fixed on the wine and food during the banquet, and Zhang Guiren's physical condition was lacking in interest.

Pressing other thoughts, Zhang Guiren held the wine jug, poured wine for Sima Yao, and pretended to flatter: "Your Majesty looks full of spring breeze, but there is good news from the front line again?" ”

"Hahaha, Concubine Ai guessed wrong, I'm not happy for the front-line war, but for the king of Huiji."

"King Huiji? What is so ugly about him that makes His Majesty so proud? ”

"Hahaha, Concubine Ai doesn't know, in the past, as long as the Spring Festival was approaching, the Huiji Palace's Mansion would become crowded."

"Countless fortunate people have come to the palace to drill camps, trying to cling to my younger brother."

"But this year is very different from the past, I listen, until now I haven't sent anyone to send a gift to congratulate."

Looking at the face full of color, Zhang Guiren only felt a shock in her heart, and for a moment, she actually had a plan to give up.

However, when she thought that she had already been involved and couldn't get out at all, she could only grit her teeth and continue walking.

"This is really a big event worth celebrating, since the whole court is not optimistic about King Huiji, maybe Your Majesty will be able to take back the power of the court immediately."

"Hahaha, what Concubine Ai said is very true, come on, come on, you and I will rest as soon as we get drunk today."

Just as Sima Yao was getting drunk, he unexpectedly looked up and saw the Taibai Star through the window.

The Taibai Star, also known as Venus in modern times, was called the Morning Star in ancient times when it appeared in the East.

In the West, it is called 'Taibai' and 'Chang Gung', which represents a great omen.

Suddenly seeing this extremely vicious omen, Sima Yao felt disillusioned and disgusted.

Taking advantage of the wine, he couldn't help but raise his glass to Yao and said: "Changxing, persuade you to have a glass of wine, how can there be a long live evil since ancient times?" ”

It's a pity that Shang Changgeng seems to be incomprehensible and indifferent to Zi's kindness.

Seeing that the toast failed, Sima Yao broke the jar more and more, and indulged in wine to drink for a long night.

Late at night, Zhang Guiren saw that his son was delirious, so he waved his hand to drive away the palace maid and the chamberlain.

So in the entire dormitory, only Zhang Guiren and his confidant palace maid were left.

At this time, Zhang Guiren finally showed her true colors, and she and her confidant palace maid carried the unconscious son to the bed.

Then he pulled a thick stack of quilts and put it all over Sima Yao's face.

Because he was worried that Sima Yao would not be able to be covered by the quilt, Zhang Guiren moved some heavy objects with the palace maid and pressed them on the quilt.

After a while, Zi began to struggle because he felt that he was not breathing.

Zhang Guiren and his henchman palace maid saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to press the limbs of the son to prevent him from uncovering the bed.

Whining! Although the son tried his best to shout.

However, because the quilt from Hexi is very thick, the sound insulation effect is very good, and there is no sound outside.

After a while, the child gradually stopped struggling, and the shouting disappeared.

At this time, Zhang Guiren and his confidant palace maid were like being fished out of the water, and they were soaked in cold sweat all over their bodies.

As a result, the thirty-three-year-old son Sima Yao was suffocated to death in the dormitory by the pillow man.

After Sima Yao was killed, Zhang Guiren colluded with Sima Daozi and claimed that Zizi had fallen into evil and died violently.

As soon as the son died, all the power of the court fell into the hands of Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, and his henchmen.

Under the cover of Sima Daozi, Wang Guobao and others, Zhang Guiren was easily removed from the suspicion of killing the monarch.

However, Zhang Guiren knew that he had committed a terrible crime and did not dare to stay in the palace for a long time.

She took advantage of the chaos in the court after her son's death, and bribed the guards with a lot of money, and then escaped with the softness.

Although Zhang Guiren's escape aroused suspicion inside and outside the government and the opposition, because of the fact that the matter involved the palace and the deliberate obstruction of King Huiji, the reason was not found out in the end.

Soon, the eyes of the government and the opposition were focused on the struggle for power and profit, and the investigation of the cause of Zizi's death was gradually forgotten.

At the beginning of the first month of the twenty-first year of Taiyuan Dynasty, a few days after Sima Yao's death, the crown prince Sima Dezong succeeded to the throne and changed the year name to Longan.

Sima Dezong was an idiot and very stupid, so much so that after succeeding to the throne, the power of the court was vested in Sima Daozi's father and son.

At the same time, due to the contradictions between Sima Daozi and various feudal towns, the local authorities were ready to move, and many powerful assassin generals began to support their own troops and were not subject to the king's orders.
