After just dealing with a few major matters, Wei Shuo felt a little tired, so he ordered the guards to bring tea and snacks, and planned to take a break with Lu Chang. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, who knew that the tea had just been entered, but Wen Qiao walked in with a panicked face, and kept shouting: "Lord, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong? What happened? It's really not in a hurry, say it slowly, the sky can't fall! ”

Perhaps infected by Wei Shuo's calm composure, Wen Qiao slowly calmed down and said solemnly: "My lord, I just received an urgent report from the Privy Council in the rear, saying that there have been signs of infighting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty recently, and the cabinet asked the king to end the western expedition as soon as possible and return to Luoyang as soon as possible in order to deal with the changes in Jiangdong." ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo started suddenly, snatched the urgent report from Wen Qiao's hand and quickly browsed it, and was soon shocked by the content on it. After reading it, he first took a deep breath, calmed down his originally excited mood, and made a decision after a little thought.

His eyes flashed and said: "Now that the overall situation of the Western Regions has been decided, it is not of much use for the widow to stay any longer, I intend to keep Wen Qiao as the governor of Anxi for the time being, and lead all the military and political affairs of Anxigua and Shazhou." In addition, the widow left another 30,000 troops to deter the place, so that there was no concern about any recurrence of the situation in the Western Regions. ”

"Chen An, Xun Guanniang, Suo Bao, and Ran Zhan will take three thousand guards and three thousand iron cavalry to escort the widow back to Beijing first, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be handed over to Liu Yao and Yang Hu to command, and slowly return to the court."

"Obey your orders!"

As soon as the order was given, the entire Western Expeditionary Army quickly moved into action, except for Wen Qiao, Fu Hong, Deng Yue, Yao Yisheng, Yao Lan and other generals who stayed in the Western Regions, and the rest of the generals received the order to return to the court.

Only one day later, Wei Shuo galloped eastward with six thousand iron horsemen.

Although everyone didn't know why King Yan suddenly proposed to return to the east, they were not stupid, and most people guessed that after all, it was the great change in the general trend of the world that made King Yan have to give up the Western Regions he had just laid down and return to the east.

……

In the middle of May, it is the spring when the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the whole Jiangnan is like a sea of flowers.

Originally, this season was the time for the children of the family to call their friends to go to the wild to enjoy the spring flowers, but with the serious illness of the Son of Heaven, the atmosphere in Jianye City was weird, and the major families restrained the children of the family from messing around.

Although Sima Shao has only been on the throne for less than two years, he has been working on the new policy almost every day. Among the important ministers of the imperial court, Wang Dao is the father, and Yu Liang is the uncle of the country, but in the matter of governing the country, he relies more on Xi Jian and inferior scholars or poor families like Bian Hu.

However, except for national affairs, Bian Hu, who was born in the Han clan, and Xi Jian, who was born in the Wang clan, have almost no intersection. Especially Bian Ju, he had little affection for the style of Qing talk and unbridledness, and offended a large number of important ministers.

Less than a year after the end of the Wang Dun Rebellion, Sima Shao inexplicably fell seriously ill and revealed the state of his next life. Originally, it was not easy to implement the new policy, but now it is even more difficult with the serious illness of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing that the New Deal was about to be abandoned halfway, Sima Shao had to make a compromise with the family. However, Sima Shao did not know that the family had lost patience with him, and had planned to set up a new emperor to replace him.

On this day, in the dead of night, Situ Wang Dao, Dazai Sima Yi, Zhongshu Ling Yu Liang, Shangshu Ling Xi Jian, leading general Lu Ye and others entered the palace overnight and asked the emperor to dictate the edict when he was still sober.

"Edict? Do you want me to make a testament now? Sima Shao was stunned and hurriedly asked. Although he felt that his time was short, and he had wanted to make an edict many times in the middle, because he was always unwilling in his heart, thinking that he was in the prime of life, maybe his body would be well in the blink of an eye, so he kept dragging it out without making an edict.

However, I didn't expect that today I was jointly forced by several important ministers of the family to ask for an edict, and a trace of bad premonition couldn't help but come to my heart.

At this time, Zhou Xian slowly walked inside, smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Emperor Xiaoyuan has just entrusted a dream to his ministers and others, mentioning that he misses His Majesty, and he is a minister who has come to send His Majesty to see Emperor Xiaoyuan, so that the two of you father and son can be reunited." ”

In an instant, Sima Shaoxian's face showed a look of horror, and he was about to scream, when Zhou Xian stepped forward and covered Sima Shao's mouth.

Sima Shao felt as if his face was pressed by a mountain peak, and the huge pressure made him unable to even breathe, so he could only panic, and looked at Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Xi Jian and others around him with a hint of pleading.

But it's a pity that the few people who were originally his confidants didn't seem to see the movement of the Son of Heaven, and they were motionless like stone statues.

Where else does Sima Shao not understand? He has been abandoned by the family and has become an outcast that everyone avoids.

Thinking of this, Sima Shao's face showed a trace of sadness, his body seemed to be drained, and he suddenly fell to the couch.

"That's right, the minister doesn't hide it from Your Majesty, the ministers of the court and the central government have all turned their backs on Your Majesty, you better accept your fate directly! Otherwise, if you accidentally disturb other people, it will not be good to hurt people who should not be injured, Your Majesty, do you say? ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xian smiled proudly and removed his hand.

Hearing that Sima Shao was completely distracted, his eyes were empty, and the betrayal of the family made him feel desperate, and he didn't know how long it took to turn his head to look at Wang Dao and the others, and muttered, "Situ, why did you do such a rebellious thing?" Could it be that I resented me and alienated the Wang family? ”

Wang Dao said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty has been smart since he was a child, how can he ask his ministers to point it out?" ”

"I don't understand!"

Sima Shao took a few deep breaths, cleared up his thoughts a little, and said urgently: "I know that after pacifying Wang Dun, I am a little alienated from the Qing family, but I have never thought of completely eradicating the Wang family. Even Yu Yuangui tried to depose the Qing family several times, but I stopped him, but I didn't expect the Qing family to betray my ......"

"Alas!" Director Wang sighed and replied with a sigh: "King Yan of the North once said: Interests determine the head!" In the past, the old minister thought that this was a philistine, and he didn't understand what he meant! Only now do I know that King Yan is worthy of being an amazing talent, and he often sees problems to the point! Although the old minister is valued by His Majesty, the Wang family is a member of the family after all. If you choose between the royal family and the family, the old minister can only choose the family. ”

"Interests determine the head...... Hahaha, it seems that Yu Yuangui and Xi Daohui also chose to betray me because they were born in a family! ”

At this time, Yu Liang's head hung slightly, unmoved by Sima Shao's cynicism. As Director Wang said, this time the family has invested a lot of money and must abolish Sima Shao. If Yu Liang doesn't want the Yu family to be buried together, he can only choose to stand on the side of the family. What's more, the Jiangzuo family promised to make his nephew the new son of heaven after the matter was completed, and supported him to become an auxiliary minister.

To say that the most painful of the three is naturally Xi Jian, he really wants to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, but the family is too powerful, so strong that he feels desperate, and in the end he can only watch the wise and martial Sima Shao being assassinated.

At this time, Sima Shao, who knew that he could not escape death, calmed down, he knew very well that the goal of the family was only himself, and it was impossible to usurp the Jin family.

Sima Shao only showed panic at the beginning, and then regained his composure, which shows that Sima Shao was very courageous, and only because the general trend of the Jin family had gone, he did nothing. If the reform is really carried out according to Sima Shao's intentions, it will not take more, and in three and five years, the Jin family will definitely show signs of prosperity.

It's a pity that what can Mingjun do? It's useless to be born at the wrong time!

"I knew that you and the other families were uneasy and kind, but I didn't expect you to dare to assassinate me, and you really underestimated you. But you don't think that it hurts me, and if you abolish the new policy, everything will be fine in the whole of Jiangdong, right? Now that the Yan Kingdom in the north is still there, aren't you afraid that the Yan King will take advantage of the situation to go south? ”

Looking at Sima Shao, who was talking eloquently, Lu Ye, Zhou Xian, Gu He and other officials of the Jiangdong family became more and more determined to kill, in their opinion, once the Son of Heaven gained a firm foothold, it would be another Wei Shuo.

Back then, they didn't just miss the opportunity to strangle Wei Shuo in the cradle, so that they let it grow bigger and become the henchmen who threaten the status of the family today.

Zhou Xian's face smiled, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty is reasonable, but now that Yan Guo is on a large-scale expedition to the west, how can he have the energy to pay attention to the changes in Jiangdong." Moreover, according to the minister's estimates, within one or two years, the Yan Kingdom may be deep in the Western Regions again, and with this time as a buffer, the world will be a different scene! ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, since a battle with Yan Guo is unavoidable, then the ministers can only prepare for the war with all their might! If His Majesty were still here, the DPRK and China would certainly not have worked together to resist the enemy. On the contrary, His Majesty went, and there was a buffer or two in between, and the ministers had the confidence to build Jiangdong like an iron bucket. (To be continued.) )
