When Guanzhong and Hebei were about to usher in great changes, the situation in Jiangdong was also not stable, and all parties were ready to move.

In the first year of Long'an (396 AD), in the second half of the first month, Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao was buried in Longping Mausoleum.

The death of Emperor Xiaowu ended the political pattern of the struggle between the lords and the central government for many years, and the central power was vested in Sima Daozi.

However, Jiangdong did not return to calm because of this, and the local powerful faction was deeply dissatisfied with this, and all parties were ready to move.

Wang Gong, the assassin of Yanzhou and the former general, was the first to attack, intending to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch to change the current situation between the DPRK and China.

And Sima Daozi was not to be outdone, and at the suggestion of his confidants, he was determined to weaken Wang Gong's military power first.

According to the plan, King Huiji planned to first cut off his comrades in the court, and then issue an edict to deprive Wang Gong of his military power.

In the first year of Long'an, at the beginning of February, Sima Daozi adopted the method of ascending and descending secretly, depriving Wang Xun of the personnel power he held, and handed over the post of secretary to his henchman Wang Guobao to take over.

Soon after Wang Xun was eliminated, Sima Daozi issued an edict to dismiss Wang Gong's younger brother Wang Shuang.

In the face of Sima Daozi's pressing step by step, Wang Gong was not idle.

On the one hand, he secretly reorganized his troops and horses in case of emergency; On the one hand, he contacted the assassins and generals from all over the world.

Among the various towns, the most important ones for Wang Gong are Liu Gaozhi, the general of Beifu, and Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou.

Liu Gaozhi said that after all, he was subordinate to Wang Gong, and under the persuasion and persecution of a few words, he blatantly took refuge in Wang Gong

The old future investment of Beifu made Wang Gong's strength swell suddenly, and he became the veritable No. 1 feudal town in Jiangdong.

However, in Wang Gong's view, this is far from enough.

So, he sent someone to contact Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and made an appointment to discuss Wang Guobao.

When the news reached Jingzhou, Yin Zhongkan didn't do anything, but it made Jingzhou Emperor Huan Xuan excited.

For so many years, Huan Xuan has been squeezed out and suppressed by the imperial court, and he is depressed.

Previously, he had tried to use the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court to seek the position of Jiangzhou Assassin, but Yin Zhongkan was defeated by Wuguan and Xiaowu died of sudden illness, so that all Huan Xuan's plans were in vain.

Originally, he was unwilling and had nowhere to vent, but now Wang Gong made an appointment to raise troops, which undoubtedly made Huan Xuan feel that there was an opportunity.

Unlike Huan Xuan, who was about to move, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Yin Zhongkan was hesitant to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch because of the defeat of Wuguan, which led to a great loss of his own strength.

But Huan Xuan knew that at the moment, he could only intervene in this matter under the banner of Yin Zhongkan.

So, he personally went out to persuade Yin Zhongkan.

"Wang Guobao has always been at odds with the envoy, General Wang, Wang Shangshu and several others, but now he has taken control of the power of the court, and he is in harmony with his cousin Wang Xu."

"In the future, if Wang Guobao wants to murder someone, I'm afraid there is nothing he can't do."

"General Wang is the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and he is valued by the government and the opposition, even if Wang Guobao has a heart, he may not dare to do anything to him immediately."

"On the contrary, it is the envoy, your foundation is weak, and you unfortunately suffered a defeat at Wuguan, it is easy to be caught."

"If it is as expected, it won't be long before Wang Guobao will most likely take the envoy to the sword."

"And Ming Gong was only promoted by the first emperor before, so he was fortunate to become a member of the party."

"The government and the opposition all think that although the envoy is talented, he is not suitable to serve as a member of Fang Town."

"In case Wang Guobao issued an edict in the name of the imperial court, recruited the envoy to serve as an official of the imperial court, and then used Yin Yi as the assassin of Jingzhou, how would the envoy deal with himself?"

is used to being a soil overlord, even if this earth overlord is not very worthy of his name, Yin Zhongkan is still reluctant to enter Beijing to suffer

He listened to Huan Xuan's words, and couldn't help but be worried: "I've always been worried about this, I don't know if Nanjun Gong has a countermeasure?" ”

"At present, the former general Wang Gong is as evil as an enemy, and he has made an appointment to make the king raise troops together to purge the traitorous ministers in the court."

"Duke Ming should not refuse, but should immediately revise the book and promote Wang Gong as the leader of the alliance."

"Wang Guobao is a traitorous person, and everyone in the world knows it."

"Once an incident arises, it will inevitably attract a response from all sides."

"As long as Wang Guobao is killed, not only will the disaster be strangled in the cradle, but also the meritorious deeds of Qi Huan Jinwen."

Huan Xuan deliberately tried to persuade Yin Zhongkan to echo Wang Gong, which was naturally ill-intentioned.

At present, Huan Xuan's strength is enough, but he lacks a righteous reputation, and he urgently needs to use big events to get himself on the table.

In view of the great loss of the strength of the Jingzhou army, if Yin Zhongkan participated in the operation on the side of the Qing monarch, he would inevitably rely on Huan Xuan.

In this way, Huan Xuan can not only further expand his personal influence, but also may take the opportunity to leave and right.

Under Huan Xuan's constant bewitchment, Yin Zhongkan couldn't help but be moved by the matter of Qingjun's side.

However, when he consulted his subordinates, he was vehemently opposed by his cousin Yin Yi.

Yin Yi still had a certain influence on Yin Zhongkan, but after listening to his cousin's advice, Yin Zhongkan became suspicious again.

Later, Yin Zhongkan thought about it and finally thought of a way to 'get the best of both worlds'.

He first agreed to Wang Gong's request on the surface, but secretly did not move.

It turned out that Yin Zhongkan thought that once Wang Gong got into trouble, Jingkou was only more than 200 miles away from Jiankang, and Jingzhou was far away from Jiankang.

The two sides are far apart, one east and one west, and they cannot effectively echo each other at all.

Therefore, he did not plan to rashly raise troops to the east, but was ready to wait and see first.

Yin Zhongkan thought he was thoughtful, but he didn't know that Wang Gong had been miserable.

It turned out that Wang Gong believed this and thought that Yin Zhongkan would really raise troops with him.

As a result, Wang Gong, who was overjoyed, immediately issued a letter to the outside world in late February of the first year of Long'an, and raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch.

He galloped to all directions, counted the crimes of the kingdom, and served as a soldier at the entrance of Beijing, making a sign that he would march to Beijing.

When the crusade was introduced to Jiankang, Sima Daozi, Sima Daozi, and Wang Guobao were still thinking about how to deprive Wang Gong of his military power.

In the text, Wang Gong did not expand the scope of the attack, but pointed the finger at Wang Guobao.

This approach is very clever, at least let King Huiji stay out of the matter, and will not go all out to help Wang Guobao and Wang Gong confront.

And this move also laid the groundwork for the future Wang Guobao Fufa.

After Wang Gong released the text, the former ministers of the former Son of Heaven immediately became active.

They lobbied Sima Daozi one after another, bewitching the king of Huiji to abandon the car and protect the handsome.

Sima Daozi himself did not have any eloquence, and he relied entirely on his clan identity to be able to occupy a high position.

Now that the news of Wang Gong's intention to raise troops came, it not only made him worried and panicked.

Under the continuous persuasion of Wang Xun, Xu Miao and others, King Huiji gradually believed that Wang Gong's target was only Wang Guobao and had nothing to do with him.

I have to say that King Huiji is still too immature, how can he beat the treacherous and cunning Wang Xun and others? !

After thinking about it, he finally decided to adopt the opinions of Wang Xun and Che Yin, and put down the soldiers on the condition of dismissing Wang Guobao.

In addition to Wang Gong, Sun Tai, Liu Gaozhi, Huan Xuan, Liu Yu and other forces are paying attention to Jiankang's every move.

As a result, what surprised everyone was that Wang Gong's army had not yet left Jingkou, and Sima Daozi's side had already thrown themselves into chaos.

At present, it is just Wang Gong's text that has been transmitted to Jiankang, not to mention that Liu Gaozhi of Beifu has not moved, and Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou, is even more waiting to see success or failure.

Objectively speaking, if Yin Zhongkan never sent troops in the end, Liu Gaozhi would not move, and he would definitely not be able to defeat Jiankang by relying on Wang Gong's command alone.

If Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao had been more decisive, and took advantage of the hesitation of all parties at the beginning of the incident, they quickly dispatched troops to Jingkou, and maybe Wang Gongming would have been sentenced as a long time ago.

It's a pity that the timid and fearful Sima Daozi can't see a good opportunity to break the enemy at all.

Under the bewitchment of the old ministers of the Son of Heaven, he adopted the strategy of giving up the car to protect the commander, and ordered the arrest of his henchman Wang Guobao, who had followed him for many years.

In this way, seven days after Wang Gong's inscription was sent to Jiankang, the imperial court ordered the death of Wang Guobao.

After killing Wang Guobao, Sima Daozi wrote another letter to Wang Gong.

In the letter, the king of Huiji, regardless of his face, deeply reviewed the mistakes he had made in the past, and repeatedly asked for reconciliation with Wang Gong.

Wang Guobao's death made Wang Gong suddenly lose the excuse to continue to raise troops.

Even if he was unwilling, he had to temporarily press his inner impulse first.

The farce that broke out in Jiangdong not only failed to calm down the internal contradictions, but also caused the imperial court to lose face and its prestige plummeted.

In addition, the powerful factions of all parties saw the essence of the weakness of the imperial court.

Southern Tianshi Dao, Jingzhou Huanxuan, Xuzhou Liu Gaozhi, Qingzhou Liu Yu, Shuzhong family, etc., no one took the healthy court seriously, which laid a hidden danger for the rise of Fang Zhen in the future.
