Wang Dun didn't answer and asked: "Liu Kui in the imperial history, Shangshu Zuo servant shot Diao Xie, these two people Ah Long should be no stranger, right?" ”

Wang Dao replied: "Du Nai is a member of the imperial court, an official in Gyeonggi, and a minister of the same palace, so he can see him every day, so he will naturally not be a stranger." What is the purpose of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info brother mentioning these two people? ”

Wang Dun said: "Ah Long, as the prime minister, you are the chief minister, and you are only under one person, haven't you noticed anything recently?" ”

Director Wang shook his head and said, "Please also ask my brother to tell me." ”

Wang Dun asked: "Your Majesty is ready to add Liu Kui as a servant and give him the title of Marquis, in addition, Your Majesty has ordered Danyang Yin Xue to be the crown prince and concubine, and the vacant position of Danyang Yin, Your Majesty is planning to let Liu Kui take the position of Danyang Yin." In addition, I heard that His Majesty is also preparing to promote Diao Xie to Shangshu Ling, and to be crowned as the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor. I also heard that His Majesty is going to let Dai Yuan, the Central Protector of the Army, be the general of the expedition to the west, and to supervise the military forces of Yan, Henan, You, Hebei, Yong, and the six states, and allow him to levy and distribute 1,000 people who have submitted their names to seek officials as military officials, transfer 10,000 slaves from the people of Yangzhou to be assigned to them as soldiers, and appoint Wang Yao, a regular attendant of the loose cavalry, to serve as the military secretary of the expedition to the west, and guard Hefei. As the ruler of the dynasty, it is impossible for you not to know these personnel changes, right? ”

After listening to Wang Dun's words, Director Wang still didn't have any expression on his face, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: "These things are all secrets of the imperial court, and Chu Zhong lives in Wuchang, why do you know these things in such detail?" Could it be that there is someone arranged by His Majesty's side? ”

"As the chief assistant of the current court, all the promotions, transfers, and appointments of officials must go through me, if this really happens, how can I not know? But as of now, these things that my brother said are still nothing, I don't know where my brother heard it? Wang Daodao.

Wang Dun sneered and said to Director Wang: "Ah Long, you are still a court leader, how can you not be sensitive to things at all?" These news are all secrets of the imperial court, and someone has already crossed over to you, the chief of the court, and directly prepared the holy decree, you may not know it now, but when the morning comes, when the holy decree is read, you will know all this. ”

Wang Dun's words made Wang Dao more sure that Wang Dun had arranged someone by Emperor Sima Rui's side, otherwise, how could Wang Dun know about these things in such detail?

However, what Wang Dun knows is not really detailed, at least, Wang Dun still doesn't know that the official changes of Liu Kui, Diao Xie, and Dai Yuan are actually promoted by Director Wang. As the chief assistant of the court, he is a bridge between the emperor and the hundred officials, opening the role of the upper and lower levels, and the big and small things in the court cannot escape his sharp eyes.

In fact, Director Wang knows all of this in detail, because it is he who single-handedly pushes all this behind the scenes.

The current emperor Sima Rui, because he does not have enough prestige in the imperial family and his power is weak, he cannot get the support of the northern and southern scholars, and the throne is unstable. However, he reused Director Wang. Wang Dao used strategies to make the southern scholars support Sima Rui, and the northern scholars who moved south also decided to support Sima Rui, stabilizing the Eastern Jin Dynasty regime and maintaining a peaceful situation.

At the same time, militarily, Sima Rui had no chance of winning, but fortunately Wang Exit came forward and found his cousin Wang Dun, relying on Wang Dun's army, he successively defeated several local armed forces that refused to obey him, and successively defeated the invasion of the Hu people, and held the only country.

After the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui was very grateful to Wang Dao, Wang Dun, Jade appointed Wang Dao as the prime minister, Wang Dun as the general, and since then Wang Dao has been inside, Wang Dun has been outside, and they have jointly guarded Sima Rui's Jin Dynasty. Therefore, there is also a saying in the outside world that "the king and the horse share the world".

Wang Dao and Wang Dun are strong, directly leading the strength of the entire Langya Wang family, and the Langya Wang family has also jumped to the peak of power, in addition to Wang Dao as the prime minister and Wang Dun as the general, three-quarters of the government and opposition officials are people from the Wang family or people related to the Wang family.

The general Wang Dun even held a heavy army, and began to cultivate power on a large scale, and his henchmen spread to every corner of the imperial court.

As the emperor, Sima Rui, although he knew that Wang Dao and Wang Dun were the founding heroes, but the fall of power made him jealous, not to mention that the reputation of the Langya Wang clan had already surpassed that of him as an emperor, which made him feel unhappy, as if he was a puppet emperor.

So, in this case, Sima Rui began his own actions, hoping to ask for the control of the Langya Wang clan over the court through his own actions.

Sima Rui secretly observed the people available in the court, and finally found that Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan, etc. were extremely dissatisfied with the Langya Wang family, so he sent someone to summon them alone, and during the talks, he deliberately revealed his heart, which resonated with Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others, and the monarchs and ministers tacitly agreed that a big plan to get rid of the Langya Wang family was launched.

However, all of Sima Rui's activities were watched by Director Wang, but Director Wang did not break them or stop them. Because, Director Wang also doesn't want the power of the entire family to be too inflated, otherwise, it will be the opposite.

And some existing things also confirm Director Wang's worries. The general Wang Dun was in a high position, and gradually exposed his unsubordinated thoughts, selecting the officials of the subordinate states and counties by himself, appointing generals and captains by himself, and even installing a pro-trust state assassin, and even openly forming a party for personal gain, all of which made Wang Dao feel disgusted and uneasy.

Wang Dao was very dissatisfied with Wang Dun's approach, but because he belonged to the same family and couldn't kill himself, Wang Dao often wrote letters to persuade Wang Dun, but Wang Dun often put Wang Dao's warnings to his ears, which made Wang Dao very untempered.

Wang Dao and Wang Dun should have cooperated seamlessly, but because Wang Dun's personal desire for power was too inflated, he didn't even take the court into account, which made Wang Dao, who has always been loyal to the monarch and patriotic, particularly disdainful. Moreover, some of Wang Dun's actions exposed his disobedience, which made Wang Dao very worried, worried that the entire Langya Wang clan would be destroyed by Wang Dun.

As a result, Director Wang not only turned a blind eye to Sima Rui's approach, but even secretly added fuel to the fire, Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others actually have a very close relationship with Director Wang, or to put it bluntly, the actions of Liu Kui, Diao Xie, Dai Yuan and others were arranged by Director Wang behind the scenes, the purpose is to evacuate the family power of the Langya Wang family, so as not to make Wang Dun's family dominant.

"That brother came to Beijing this time, could it be that he came here for this matter?" Director Wang asked.

Wang Dun nodded and said: "This is one of them, I haven't seen you for two years, I came to you to catch up with the past, you and I are brothers, you are the patriarch of our Langya Wang clan, our rise and fall will directly affect the rise and fall of the entire family, I want to ask you, are you willing to work with me to push the family to a new height?" ”

"New heights?" Director Wang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What does brother mean?" ”

Wang Dun said: "Now you and I are already extremely human, but there is always one person above us who is suppressed, without the support of our brother and the whole family, can he sit in that position safely?" Now our Wang family is just asking him for some rewards, but he is reusing traitors and villains in a vain attempt to attack our Wang family. The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey cooks, this truth is obvious, and now that his position is secure, he is ready to take our brother under the knife. I heard that he hasn't summoned you alone for a long time lately, and seems to be deliberately alienating you, don't you notice? ”

Wang Daodao: "Recently, I have been busy with official business, and I am very busy, so I don't care so much. However, what my brother did in Jingzhou really embarrassed the younger brother, and the younger brother also advised the elder brother, but the elder brother didn't listen, and still went his own way, although I tried my best to suppress it and not let him know, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and some of your evil deeds will inevitably reach his ears. Over the years, he has been very relieved of our brothers, and has given us the treatment of a very human minister, and even the entire Langya Wang clan is very prosperous, isn't this enough? ”

Wang Dun said: "Ah Long, you are too kind. When he was still the king of Langya, he could be a close friend with you, because he knew that he couldn't get involved in the whirlpool of power no matter what, and now he is the current emperor, the world is his, and what he can give you can also be taken back. It's just that he is still fledgling, and once he is full-fledged, our Langya Wang clan will end up being a lackey. Therefore, we can't sit still, we have to rise up and resist, his country is called by us, but it is just a loan for him to sit down, if he is honest, he will not embarrass him, but if he refuses to obey, it is better to replace him......"

Director Wang hurriedly interrupted Wang Dun's words, lowered his voice and said, "How can my brother say such a rebellious word? He and we complement each other, and if it weren't for him, where would we be where we are today? ”

"What? You're still talking to him? When he announces his decree tomorrow, you will be dumbfounded. Maybe it won't be long before your position as prime minister will be lost! Wang Dun said angrily.

Wang Daodao: "Brother, please listen to the words of the younger brother, now that the imperial court has just been established, it is the time to recuperate, the time when the country is getting stronger and stronger, that is, the time when the Northern Expedition recovers the lost land, now at this time, the monarch and the ministers should be single-minded, and there must not be any chaos, otherwise, the Hu people in the north will take advantage of the weakness, then our brothers have worked hard to save only the country will be gone." Besides, today's prince is very intelligent, Yue'er has always been with him, and has become his trusted right-hand man, and the year before last, because His Majesty wanted to abolish the prince, it was the younger brother who tried his best to dissuade him, so the prince has always been grateful to our Wang family, once he ascends the throne as the emperor, he will inevitably have something to do, and my Wang family can continue to be reused in the new court, continue the family, so that the children and nephews can also achieve great achievements, shouldn't it be what people in my generation should do? ”

"Humph! You were like this two years ago, and you're still like this two years later! Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, you go to be your loyal minister, and when one day Sima Rui puts the knife on your neck, and the entire Langya Wang clan is facing extinction, I see how you explain to the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan! The more Wang Dun listened, the more angry he became, but he didn't expect that his brother not only did not support his idea, but also persuaded him to continue to obey Sima Rui's jurisdiction, so that he would not be angry.

Director Wang said bitterly: "Brother, why are you still obsessed? This world belongs to the Sima clan, not our Wang clan, we just manage the world instead of the Sima clan, and we cannot become the real masters. Although the elder brother now has a heavy army and strong soldiers, but this is all an illusion on the surface, can't the elder brother see the crisis behind this? ”

"What crisis? I have half of the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as I give an order, thousands of troops and horses can go straight to Jiankang, surround the palace, and force Sima Rui to abdicate! ”

"Alas! The elder brother is surrounded by traitorous villains, and those people don't care about the life or death of the elder brother for their own interests, and blindly instigate the elder brother to do this crime, but it will harm the elder brother and our entire Langya Wang clan! ”

"I'm surrounded by traitors and villains, so you're surrounded by gentlemen!" Wang Dun said angrily.

Wang Dao said: "Brother, you listen to the little brother, if what you say is all nonsense, then the brother will not pay attention to the little brother in the future." ”

Wang Dun endured his anger and said, "Okay, you say, I want to see what you can say!" ”
