Chapter 587: Persuasion to the wind
As King Yan personally declared war on Mobei, it greatly deterred the envoys of the vassal states, and the envoys expressed their willingness to sign a new treaty with the Great Jin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the news that the Great Sima Weishuo sacrificed the two ancestors of Yan and Huang in Luoyang and feasted many envoys of the vassal states reached Jiangdong, it caused a lot of turmoil.
In addition to being frightened by Wei Shuo's brutality, the Jiangdong family accused him of overstepping his authority, believing that he was not qualified to sacrifice the two ancestors of Yan and Huang on behalf of the Son of Heaven, let alone modify the relationship with the vassal state.
There are even many children of the family who believe that Wei Shuo is about to open a country, and write to the Son of Heaven to ask for the revocation of his title of King Yan.
In fact, there are more people in Liaodong who have long been looking forward to Wei Shuo's ascension, and just a few days after the end of the ceremony, a crazy wave of persuasion suddenly blew in the northland, and the assassins, governors, county guards, and garrisons from all over the country have written to ask for the title of Da Sima to ascend the throne.
In the face of the sudden tide, Liaodong suddenly became restless, and all parties continued to dispute over the matter of persuasion.
Originally, Wei Shuo planned to have a cold treatment, but he didn't expect him to underestimate everyone's determination to try to support him on the throne.
"Lord, Mo Changshi and Gao Junshi ask to see you."
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard that two henchmen and important ministers visited the mansion at the same time, Wei Shuo couldn't help but be stunned, and his brows immediately furrowed.
Obviously, Mo and Gao came to visit at this time, and nine times out of ten it was related to the recent wind of persuasion.
Of course, there are not only two people who want to find out the news from Wei Shuo's mouth, but there are very few people who are qualified to come to Wei Shuo in person to verify, and Mo and Gao are just one of them.
Since ancient times, supporting and following the dragon has been the most enthusiastic credit for the people below. But those who support the dragon will be extremely rich after the deed is completed. Especially when the overall situation has been decided, it is not only less risky and more rewarding, but also the best investment choice with low investment and high return.
Since the Yongjia Rebellion abandoned the people in the north, the Jin family has lost the support of the people, and now it is even more remote and has lost the qualification and strength to lead the world. On the contrary, Liaodong, under the leadership of Wei Shuo, put an end to the increasingly serious troubles since Yongjia, and was regarded by the people of the north as the protector of Huaxia.
Compared with the Jin family, which did nothing, Liaodong has more Bobo vitality of the new dynasty, and Wei Shuo is obviously more suitable to become the supreme of the world than Sima Rui, who is in the waning mountains.
As long as there are political ambitions in Liaodong, they are all planning to win such great achievements, and even Mo Han, Gao Zhan and other high-level confidants have the same thoughts.
It's just that everyone doesn't know that the current turmoil is contrary to Wei Shuo's plan. Now he was full of sorrow, thinking about how to convince his henchmen without breaking the allegiance of his henchmen.
"Meet my lord." In the study in the backyard of King Yan's Mansion, Gao Zhan and Mo Han sat opposite each other, originally drinking tea boringly, until Wei Shuo appeared, and the two of them were busy getting up to salute.
"Two gentlemen, don't be polite, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Lord."
Gao and Mo thanked each other and sat down. But neither of them was in a hurry to speak, but stared at Wei Shuo with very different eyes. Among them, Mo Han's eyes were full of undisguised anticipation and excitement, and although there was some flickering in Gao Zhan's eyes, he was still mostly looking forward to it.
It can be seen from this that the two forces of Hanmen and Shijia in Liaodong have an attitude towards persuasion. Needless to say, they were able to stand out in Liaodong, thanks to Wei Shuo's vigorous promotion and support, especially thanks to the introduction of the imperial examination system, so that the Hanmen scholars had a way to be promoted.
It can be said that the Hanmen scholars are all related to Wei Shuo, and the wealth and glory are all tied to Wei Shuo, only the higher Wei Shuo's status and the greater the power he holds, the future of the Hanmen scholars will get better and better. Therefore, the Hanmen of Liaodong is the most concerned about persuasion, and it is also the main promoter of this trend.
Compared with the staunch supporters of Hanmen, the attitude of the Maison is somewhat ambiguous.
On the one hand, the families knew that Wei Shuo had occupied the general trend, so they had to choose to submit; On the other hand, due to Wei Shuo's suppressive attitude towards the family, the families around the world are not very willing to support Wei Shuo's ascension to the supreme position from the bottom of their hearts. After all, once Wei Shuo ascends to the throne, the family may never turn over.
"The two gentlemen have come together, and there must be something important to talk about. Please speak up, and listen to them. ”
"My lord, since Yongjia, Hu Lu has been in turmoil in the Central Plains, and the world has fallen into turmoil, and countless Li people are living in dire straits. Only the lord took Liaodong, revitalized the army brigade, and revitalized industry and commerce, and then restored the Central Plains, exterminated Hulu, and made immortal achievements. ”
"The Jin dynasty abandoned the Han people in the northland, and lost the qualification to lead Huaxia. Since ancient times, the position of the emperor should be lived by the virtuous, and the lord has both talent and virtue, and should rule all the people in the world according to the great position, and the ministers are willing to help the lord to the death. ”
Mo Han is the only one of the Big Four who comes from a humble background, and he is also the most active high-level in persuasion, and he firmly expressed his support for Wei Shuo's departure from the Jin family.
"What do you think about this?" Wei Shuo did not respond to Mo Han, but quietly asked Gao Zhan on the other side.
"The lord, the minister and Mo Changshi have different views, from the future trend of the lord to replace the Jin family, it is inevitable, but the minister thinks that the time has not yet come, and he should not act rashly."
"When has the time not come? I think you're cowardly! The corners of Mo Han's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain a few words in person.
Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo's heart moved, it seemed that there was a disagreement between Mo Han and Gao Zhan on the matter of 'persuasion', otherwise Mo Han would not have openly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Gao Zhan ignored Mo Han's cynicism, got up and looked at Wei Shuo and said solemnly: "Lord, the minister is not against your succession. Looking around today, His Royal Highness King Sheyan, who is more worthy of the heavy responsibility of all the people in the world? Therefore, the minister thought that it was the general trend for the lord to replace the Jin family in the future, which was undoubtedly confirmed, but the minister believed that now was by no means the best time for the lord to ascend to the throne. ”
This is the first time that Gao Zhan has publicly and clearly expressed his support for Wei Shuo to replace the Jin family, and Mo Han's tense face gradually relaxed. Speaking of which, the contradictions between him and Gao Zhan, Wen Qiao and other family officials are concentrated here, and the family is always secretive about supporting Wei Shuo's ascension, unlike Hanmen's early and clear attitude.
"My lord, Liaodong needs time to digest and absorb the newly recovered territory, and in addition, there is still a Hu separatist force in the southwest that has not been eliminated."
"Does Jing Qian refer to Cheng Han?"
"That's right, it's Cheng Han. Cheng Han seems to be weak, but because the domestic politics are basically clear, and there is a benevolent monarch like Li Xiong in power, his strength should not be underestimated. ”
"What does it have to do with the lord's ascendancy?" Don't say that Mo Han is a little confused, even Wei Shuo is also puzzled.
"At present, Chenghan, Jiangzuo, and Liaodong are three-legged, and any one of them is enough to destroy the third party, on the contrary, Chenghan and Jiangdong also have the strength to compete with Liaodong. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth plan to destroy the Han Dynasty in the future, Liaodong temporarily needs Jiangdong as an ally. ”
"If the lord ascends the throne at this time, the Jiangzuo court will inevitably break with Liaodong. In a desperate situation, it is difficult to guarantee that the imperial court will not compromise with Wang Dun, and once Wang solves the internal threat, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch Liaodong destroy the Cheng Han. At that time, in the face of the Chenghan and Jiangdong alliances, will my Liaodong have to repeat the mistakes of the confrontation between the three countries? ”
"The confrontation between the three kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty for decades has almost exhausted the vitality of China. So much so that after the Great Jin Dynasty unified the world, it was almost powerless to attack foreign tribes externally, and this is probably the reason why the imperial court wantonly appeased Zhuhu, and finally buried the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua. ”
"If the lord is not on the throne for the time being, then a fragile balance will be maintained between Liaodong and the imperial court, and the power of the Son of Heaven will be used to contain Wang Dun, so that he will not be able to help Liaodong when he destroys the Cheng Han, at least he will not be able to devote all his energy to supporting the Cheng Han."
"Therefore, the minister thinks that Liaodong's top priority should be to take advantage of Jiangdong's self-care to immediately go south to take Shu and destroy the Han Dynasty!"
I have to say that Gao Zhan's suggestion is very forward-looking, as long as it can successfully destroy Cheng Han, then Jiangdong is not to worry.
However, Gao Zhan was not the only one who was aware of the role of Cheng Han, Xi Jian was also aware of the importance of Cheng Han to Jiangdong, and in his view, if Jiangdong wanted to achieve a political situation of dividing the river and ruling it in the future, then ensuring the independence of Cheng Han would be the top priority. Thinking of this, Xi Jian immediately secretly met with Fan Ben and Li Shou, the envoys of the Cheng Han Dynasty, on behalf of Jiangdong. (To be continued.) )
