Chapter 226: The future is uncertain
Bidding farewell to Huan Xuan, Yin Zhongkan and other people in Jingzhou, Wei Shuo and his entourage once again embarked on the journey to Jiankang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More than a dozen high-rise ships set sail from Jiangling and went straight to Jiankang along the Yangtze River channel.
In addition to the original Hexi people, there were more people on the boat.
It is the tiger of the Huan family - Huan Zhen.
Although Huan Zhen is a bit arrogant, he is also a person of faith and righteousness.
After losing to Wei Shuo in the competition, he immediately resigned from joining the army and insisted on following Wei Shuo's side.
The most unhappy person for Huan Zhen's departure is Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou.
In the future, without Huan Zhen's containment, Huan Xuan may become more and more powerful, and his life will become more and more difficult.
It's just that for enemies who dare to secretly calculate themselves, Wei Shuo naturally won't have a good impression, and he doesn't bother to care about the other party's life or death.
Afterwards, Wei Shuo also knocked on Huan Zhen's side, and almost figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
It was nothing more than seeing that Huan Xuan and Wei Shuo were fighting hotly, and Yin Zhongkan was worried that it would not be good for him, so he secretly provoked Huan Zhen to make trouble.
Who knew that the final result was to lose his wife and break his army, not only failed to let Huan Wei break off diplomatic relations, but took another Huan Zhen.
On this trip to Jingzhou, if you want to say who left the deepest impression on Wei Shuo, it must be Huan Xuan.
After some contact, excluding the fact that Huan Xuan is ambitious, in fact, this person is still very cute and worth dating.
Huan Xuan is a typical noble child of a family, even if he is extraordinary, but his personality still has some squirrel.
is relatively simple, loves and hates clearly, puts his heart into the eyes of those who look at it, and sneers at those who don't look down on him.
In addition, Huan Xuan is impatient, relatively impatient, and has some women's kindness.
Historically, if Huan Xuan could be a little patient, he would first coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, spread the favor to the general public, and consolidate the people's foundation.
Then we will gradually crack down, divide, and win over the military forces in Beifu, and penetrate the military forces into the Jianghuai interest groups.
Finally, after mastering the central and local power of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, paying attention to the flaws of the forces of various ethnic groups in the north, taking advantage of the northern expedition, and achieving merits, then take Zen concessions, and it is estimated that the success may be greater.
Even if Huan Xuan couldn't wait to become emperor, his chances of winning were completely better than Liu Yu's at first.
In history, after listening to Liu Mai's whistleblowing about Liu Yu's uprising, Huan Xuan did almost nothing, but stupidly waited for Liu Yu to attack.
War is fought on people's hearts and morale.
At the beginning of the war, the Jingxiang forces must have supported Huan Xuan, the Sanwu forces were neutral, and the Jianghuai forces were slightly biased towards Liu Yu.
In this situation, Huan Xuan stayed in Jiankang, undoubtedly showing weakness to the outside world, and wrote his fear of Liu Yu on his face.
Since you're so scared, what reason do those centrists have to go with you?
When Liu Yu defeated Huan Qian in Zhoushan with both hands, the Jianghuai forces and the Sanwu forces changed banners in an instant, and the situation changed greatly.
……
Jiankang in late autumn, the colorful leaves on the street, the fallen leaves are paved on the ground, and the golden pieces come into view, and the scenery is picturesque.
In an elegant garden, the prime minister Sima Daozi and several henchmen are discussing secretly.
Sima Daozi has a long and thin figure, a straight nose, a short beard on his lips, and a wide Confucian robe, handsome and chic.
However, its eyes are cloudy and cloudy, ruining the beauty of the entire face.
He is the youngest son of Emperor Jianwen Sima Yu, and his mother is Li Lingrong, the Empress Dowager of Xiaowuwen, and Sima Yao, Emperor Xiaowu, is a compatriot.
At the age of eight, he was named the king of Langya, and later migrated to the king of Huiji, and was praised by Xie An for his quiet and lack of desire when he was young.
At the age of nineteen, he recorded Shangshu affairs, took charge of court affairs, and his power was second only to Xie An, the first person in the dynasty.
After Xie An's death, Sima Yao handed over the power of the court to his younger brother Sima Daozi in order to consolidate the imperial power.
Since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang, Yu, Huan, Xie and other big families have successively controlled the government and squeezed the Sima family.
In the eyes of the major families, the royal family is sometimes a fart.
However, with Xie An's death, the royal family finally came out.
This is the first time that Sima Royal has taken full power, and from this point of view, Sima Yao can also be said to be a lord of "Zhongxing".
"King Xiang, Wang Gong is in charge of the military and government of Yangzhou, and he has the Beifu Army in his hands, which is a great threat to us, why don't you try to cut off Liu Gaozhi first, so as to remove his wings?"
Sima Daozi muttered: "Liu Gaozhi is the courage of the Northern Mansion, as long as Liu Gaozhi can be removed, Wang Gong is not worried." ”
"However, this matter must be urgent, and it must be carefully laid out and slowly planned in order to hit it with one blow."
"Also, remember, don't be noticed by Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Wang Guobao and other henchmen nodded their heads in understanding, and now the dispute between the DPRK and China has reached a fever pitch.
This time, Sima Daozi and his henchmen secretly calculated Wang Gong, not only because Wang Gong was a confidant of the Son of Heaven, but also because he repeatedly opposed Sima Daozi.
At that time, Yuan Yuezhi was a close confidant of Sima Daozi, not only could speak well, but also often persuaded Sima Daozi to take charge of the court, and was personally treated by Sima Daozi.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gong reported this matter to Sima Yao, and not long after, Yuan Yuezhi was killed by the Son of Heaven because of his affairs.
Again, because Pei Shi, the daughter-in-law of Shi Yujiao in Huailing, likes to take pills, and often wears yellow clothes, she looks like a heavenly master and Taoist priest.
Because Sima Daozi admired him very much, he ordered Pei to talk to the guests.
However, Wang Gong thought that Pei's move was a degrading act, and protested in public: "I have never heard that there will be a disobedient woman on the prime minister's seat." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only did everyone sit down feel embarrassed, but also Sima Daozi lost face, and he hated Wang Gong because of this.
After discussing the major events in the court, everyone gradually talked about Wei Shuo, who was about to arrive in Jiankang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know about this person?"
Seeing Sima Daozi asking, the others looked at each other and shook their heads to show that they didn't understand.
Wei Guobao said with great interest: "King Xiang, there is a person in the lowly mansion, this person knows the details of Hexi. ”
"If you have any questions, just ask them and they'll be solved."
"Oh? Is there such a character in Jiangdong? How do you not know? Sima Daozi asked in surprise.
"No, no, this person is not from Jiangdong, but a child from Hexi who crossed south a few years ago."
"Children of Hexi? How did he come to Koto? ”
"King Yuxiang, speaking of this person's origin, it has nothing to do with the Dadu Protector who is about to arrive in Jiankang."
"This person's surname is Suo, his name is Chengming, he was originally from the Suo clan of the Dunhuang wealthy family, but because he offended Wei Shuo, he had to abandon his family and flee."
"Therefore, at present, no one in Jiangdong knows this Dadu protector better than Suo Chengming."
"How about bothering the national treasure to bring him in?"
"Do as the king commands."
After a while, Suo Chengming, who received the invitation, quickly came to the palace of the king of Huiji.
He looked up at the golden words on the door plaque, and couldn't help but be in a trance.
At the beginning, he fled to Jiangdong after hardships, and tried to get acquainted with Sima Daozi, the chief of the dynasty, several times, but all failed without exception.
Don't look at Suo's prestige in Hexi, but in a place like Jiangdong, where there are many wealthy families, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Even the famous Fan Yang Lu clan's disciple Lu Xun can't be reused, let alone Suo Chengming.
After a series of blows, Suo Chengming finally recognized the facts and made a more pragmatic choice.
Later, he quickly gained a firm foothold in the Kingdom Treasure Mansion and became a very important staff member of the Kingdom Treasure.
In recent years, Suo Chengming has not only never forgotten hatred, but also hated Wei Shuo more and more because he had suffered enough.
Whenever I hear the news that Wei Shuo has won a battle, I always want to break it into pieces.
Since learning that Wei Shuo would come to Jiankang to see His Majesty, Suo Chengming was very excited, and looked forward to Wei Shuo's early arrival in Jiankang day and night.
However, Suo Chengming also knows that Wei Shuo is no longer what it used to be.
Not to mention that he, a lonely and helpless child of a family, even Prime Minister Sima Daozi will not easily treat the other party.
It must be known that now the whole court is paying attention to Hexi's entry into the domain, and Sima Yao, the son of heaven, regards this matter as a symbol of the prosperity of the country.
But Suo Chengming felt that even if he really couldn't do anything to Wei Shuo, he had to find something unpleasant for the other party, so that he could vent his evil anger fiercely.
But it is not easy to trouble Wei Shuo, he definitely can't do it on his own, even if he adds his benefactor Wang Guobao, unless Sima Daozi is also involved.
As one of the actual rulers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Daozi has a huge power, and even Sima Yao, the son of heaven, is jealous, enough to clean up a foreign general.
Suo Chengming took a closer look at the plaque above his head, took a heavy breath, and walked towards the palace of the king of Huiji with his head held high.
Wei Shuo, who was about to arrive in Jianye, did not know that there were people in Jianye waiting for him to arrive with malice.
