In October of the first year of Yongchang, in the Taichu Palace of Jianye, Sima Rui, the Son of Heaven, drank the potion of the imperial doctor as usual, and was about to lie on the bed and close his eyes to recuperate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, no one expected that Sima Rui suddenly felt a surge of qi and blood, and coughed up blood again and again.

Concubine Zheng, who was accompanying her, saw this scene and was so frightened that she hurriedly instructed the palace maid to invite the imperial doctor over.

As a result, the imperial doctor was still helpless after coming, and a large group of people gathered outside the hall to discuss how to administer medicine.

"Ahem!" There was a rapid coughing sound in the white gauze tent, Concubine Zheng opened the tent curtain along the way, held the hand of the Son of Heaven and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, those imperial doctors are all useless, and the concubines will go to ask famous doctors to treat Your Majesty." ”

Sima Rui, the Son of Heaven, glanced at Concubine Zheng, who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and said with infinite regret: "No...... Don't blame the imperial doctor, I know my body best, I'm afraid it won't be this time, and I will send someone to invite the prince, Situ and the ministers into the palace as soon as possible. ”

Soon, the crown prince Sima Shao, Situ Wang Dao, Lu Ye, Yu Liang, Ji Zhan and other important ministers of the court rushed over.

In fact, most courtiers had expected today's scene, after all, the Son of Heaven had been sick and bedridden for half a year, which was no secret inside and outside the court.

Therefore, when they suddenly received the news that the Son of Heaven was about to die, everyone was shocked, but they did not have any panic or worry, and everything went on in an orderly manner according to the etiquette system.

Originally, the Son of Heaven was already very weak, but he didn't expect to see the prince and Wang Dao walking in, and his emotions suddenly became excited.

With the support of Concubine Zheng, the Son of Heaven struggled to get up, tremblingly stretched out his thin right hand to take the prince's hand and put it on Wang Dao's hand, Yin Yin advised: "Maohong, for the sake of you and my monarchs and ministers, help me take a good look at the prince." He is still young and inexperienced, and if he does something out of the ordinary, you can just teach. ”

Looking at the thin Son of Heaven, Wang Daoqiang suppressed his grief and nodded heavily: "Your Majesty knows the grace of the encounter, and the minister will repay it in case of emergency, and he will fully assist the crown prince in the future." If a rebellious minister or thief dares to touch the supreme position, the minister will not agree to it first. ”

Listening to Director Wang's oath, the Son of Heaven finally showed a smile on his face, saying that what he was most worried about was that the Wang brothers joined forces, in that case, the young prince would not even have the strength to fight back.

"I know that the prince has never fully believed Mao Hong before, but he is six points suspicious and four points of use, so that Mao Hong you have been wronged. Shao'er, a child who has been extremely smart since he was a child, although he realized the importance of Maohong early, but because Maohong was born in the Langya Wang family, he never dared to let go of reuse and trust. Fortunately, Maohong is broad-minded and never cares about the prince. ”

Speaking of this, Sima Rui looked at the prince who was still a little immature, "Shao'er, in the future, you must no longer doubt Maohong's loyalty, he is different from the ambitious Wang Dun, you must completely trust and reuse him, and treat him as your right-hand man." ”

Sima Shao sobbed when he heard this: "Father, the son will not be able to do it." Erchen promises you that he will treat Lord Situ well in the future. ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand to stop the prince from talking, hating iron and steel: "Alas, it seems that you still don't understand my hard work, I want to tell you that you have to treat Mao Hong like an elder, just like King Wu of Zhou treated Jiang Shang." Mao Hong is a person who does not love power, nor is he good at money, and he has the talent to govern the country, so you have to take care of him. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the minister will definitely assist the prince well." Seeing that the Son of Heaven said everything about this, Director Wang couldn't help but express his position.

"Shao'er, the rivers and mountains of the Great Jin Dynasty will be handed over to you. Speaking of which, my father is incompetent, leaving you with a country full of holes, and then it is up to you to support this burden. ”

"You have been smart since you were a child, and you have inspected Liaodong, and you know well the disadvantages of the government. If you are given enough time, there is hope for Zhongxing to enter the room. But my father has to tell you, you must be quick and patient in everything, and you must not be hot-headed. On weekdays, you have to ask Mao Hong for advice, he is the real pillar of the country. ”

The young Sima Shao knelt in front of the Son of Heaven and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that my father and emperor will never disgrace the ancestors and ancestors!" ”

Sima Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "With the experience of supervising the country for more than half a year, I am not worried that you will not be able to handle the country's political affairs. ”

"Here, I have one more thing to tell you."

Sima Shao's heart was filled with a burst of sourness and bitterness, and he sobbed, "Father, you said, the son must keep it in mind." ”

The Son of Heaven sighed and said: "One of the things I regret the most in my life is that I missed Da Sima Weishuo at the beginning, and now Da Sima has full wings, I am afraid it will be difficult to figure it out!" Da Sima is very comparable, and his methods are abnormal, if he wants to go south to Jiangdong, he must be completely sure. ”

"At that moment, when the court should go, let you decide for yourself, no matter what the final result is, I won't blame you, even if you go to Jiuquan in the future, in the face of the ancestors' criticism, your father will bear it."

"Father...... Erchen will never let the Jin family Guozuo be cut off in the hands of Erchen. ”

Looking at his stubborn son, Sima Rui felt a little sad while being relieved. In fact, he knew very well that Liaodong had completely gained the upper hand in the face of the imperial court, and it was difficult for the Jin family to do anything more, and what Sima Shao did was just a mantis arm as a car.

But since his son has ambition, he can't pour cold water on him, thinking about it, Sima Rui told again: "Shao'er, you haven't suffered since you were a child, everything is at your fingertips, and you rarely know how to understand others. ”

"I know that you suffered a little loss in Liaodong before, and I have always been angry in my heart. Shao'er, there are gains and losses, don't be resentful, otherwise it will make you lose your cool, and I hope you will revive the Jin family. Remember! Don't be hasty and patient in everything, take into account the overall situation, don't be too small to lose a big one, and be angry. ”

"You must know that in the way of the king, in addition to thunder means, you must also know how to forbear, and these two are indispensable. If you blindly use the strong, not only will it not help, but it may even be possible to do bad things with good intentions, and it will also make the world miserable. For the emperor and the emperor, you must endure what ordinary people can't endure in order to be a superior person. ”

Sima Rui told the prince so for a reason, he was worried that after his death, there would be fewer people to suppress him, and the prince Sima Shao would be young and vigorous and unable to hold his breath, which would lead to unpredictable consequences.

Sima Shao knew the painstaking efforts of the Son of Heaven, and hurriedly stepped forward to reassure: "Father's teachings, sons must keep them in mind. ”

The Son of Heaven has been talking for most of the day at this time, but he has run out of oil, so he forced his last breath to hand over the Zhaoshu and the jade seal to the prince and Situ Wang Dao, and then died.

In the blink of an eye, a piece of news that shocked the world came out of the palace, like a huge wave, spreading from Jianye to the surroundings!

Sima Rui, the son of the Great Jin Dynasty, died of illness in his own dormitory, at the age of 47, and reigned for 6 years. He was called Emperor Yuan, and the temple was called Zhongzong, and he was buried in Jianping Mausoleum.

According to the will of Emperor Daxing, all the affairs of the imperial court were handed over to the crown prince Sima Shao and Situ Wang Dao, and the sky of the Great Jin Dynasty seemed to have changed overnight.

With the death of the Son of Heaven and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne, the people in Jianye City suddenly became panicked, and many people looked at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with frightened eyes, waiting for Wang Dun to react.

I have to say that Sima Rui's death was a huge blow to the imperial court, and it made the royalist ministers who had just recovered a little bit of vitality sink to the bottom again.

In the eyes of all kinds of anxiety and worry, the new emperor Sima Shao, who had just ascended the throne, immediately showed his shrewdness and ability to the outside world, and he ordered the crown prince to take over the defense of Jianye City, conduct a detailed examination of all people entering and leaving the capital, strictly interrogate them, and impose a curfew.

The martial law made the officials and people in Jianye City frightened inexplicably, but the new emperor Sima Shao had no choice, he didn't know whether the general Wang Dun would take the opportunity to make trouble, the only thing he could do was to guard Jianye and brake quietly.

Although there is a little panic in Jianye City, the funeral of Emperor Jin Yuan is going on in an orderly manner.

After a short period of panic, the courtiers saw that Situ Wang Dao was still assisting the Son of Heaven in handling the government as usual, and Wuchang had not moved, and everyone's worried hearts gradually calmed down.

In the period since Sima Rui's death, the new emperor Sima Shao felt the importance of Wang Dao, it can be said that without Wang Dao's help, only a young man with immaturity and no prestige could not stabilize the court at all.

After stabilizing the internal court, Sima Shao began to deal with external troubles, how to stabilize the general and the great Sima became the top priority, he looked at the two holy decrees that had just been written in front of him, and his face was cloudy.
