Chapter 590: Aftermath

In October of the first year of Yongchang, Wei Shuo was planning to solve the problem of Cheng Han, but he did not expect to encounter such a sensational event as the death of the Son of Heaven, so he had to temporarily put the original plan on hold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My lord, I just received an urgent report from Jiangdong that the Son of Heaven died of illness, and the crown prince has ascended the throne five days ago." Guo Yu said softly.

"The wind and rain are coming!"

Wei Shuo couldn't help but sigh, he looked around at the staff around him and asked, "Everyone, let's talk first, what is the impact of the death of the Son of Heaven on Liaodong?" Will Wang Dun take the opportunity to raise troops to rebel again? ”

As Gao Zhan said before, before Liaodong stabilizes the Central Plains and captures Chenghan, it is necessary to maintain the political stability of Jiangdong. But now that Sima Rui died suddenly, it will definitely make the general Wang Dun have a little less scruples, and it is very likely that he will raise troops to rebel again.

The young son of heaven Sima Shao is certainly heroic, but after all, he has just ascended the throne, and his foundation in the court is still shallow, and if he is not careful, it is likely to lead to the fall of the Jin family.

"My lord, in the opinion of the minister, Wang Dun will definitely raise troops to rebel again, but before the situation is figured out, the general should not raise troops easily."

Pei Wei first gave his own judgment, and he firmly believed that the ambitious Wang Dun would not give up the opportunity in front of him.

The minister also agreed with Pei Changshi's theory, Wang Dun was very jealous of the new son of heaven, and as early as the last Qing monarch, he intended to abolish Sima Shao's crown prince, only because Wang Dao made an obstacle from it. And this time, Wang Dun will never let Sima Shao sit on the throne, otherwise he will die in the future without a place to be buried. ”

"It seems that what I plan in Liaodong is going to be empty again!"

Listening to what Pei Wei and Mo Han said, Wei Shuo's face suddenly turned ugly. Originally, Liaodong's plan was to maintain a balance between the generals and the imperial court, and then seize the opportunity to take the Chenghan first and revitalize the economy of the Central Plains. In the future, if Wang Dun raised troops to rebel, Liaodong could stand up and clean up the mess. Even if Sima Shao defeated Wang Dun and monopolized Jiangdong, he would not be able to make any big waves when Liaodong had occupied Chenghan.

However, the unexpected death of the Son of Heaven made the situation in Jiangdong suddenly tense, and in case Wang Dun waved his troops straight into Jianye, the weak Sima Shao would definitely not be his opponent. In case the rescue of Liaodong is not timely, maybe Wang Dun will overthrow the Jin family and monopolize Jiangdong, and then the Jiangzuo family will have no choice but to rely on Wang Dun. And Jiangdong, which has solved the internal troubles, will definitely not let Liaodong attack Chenghan, is it possible to repeat the old events of the Three Kingdoms?

"This is also a helpless thing, and things in the world are difficult to achieve nine times out of ten."

Wen Qiao sighed: "My lord, the death of the Son of Heaven may certainly damage the layout of Liaodong, but I think Director Wang and the new Son of Heaven should not be caught in a hurry, maybe things will take a new turn in a while." ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the situation eventually develops in the worst direction, it will not all be a bad impact on Liaodong.

"Oh? I don't know what Taizhen's plan is, so I might as well talk about it in detail. ”

"Lord, in fact, everyone knows very well in their hearts that at present, Liaodong is really incapable of crossing the Yangtze River, not to mention how to pass the Jiangdong Naval Division, just because the Central Plains is unstable and Hebei is uncertain, how can Liaodong dare to let go of the river and compete with the Jiangdong family? In case Liaodong is deeply involved, it is very likely that too much energy will be involved, resulting in Liaodong's lack of skills. ”

"It is true that Liaodong has destroyed Hu and recovered the entire north, but this does not mean that everything is fine. Not to mention Jiangdong, there are still separatist forces in the southwest - Cheng Han; In the northeast, Goguryeo still occupied the land of the Great Jin Dynasty and did not return it; In the West, the countries of the Western Regions, which were originally part of the traditional sphere of influence, remained independent of the Great Jin system. ”

"These need to be solved one by one by Liaodong!"

Wei Shuo touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Taizhen means that Liaodong's attention is temporarily diverted from Jiangdong and turned to the Western Regions, Chenghan, Goguryeo and other separatist forces?" ”

"That's right, especially the hope that Chenghan and Goguryeo can be solved by means of diplomatic relations, maybe they can avoid the pain of requisition."

"Okay, according to Taizhen's words, tomorrow I will personally talk to Chenghan and Goguryeo."

Everyone had just decided on the plan, and before they had time to take a breath, they saw Chen An walk in and report: "Lord, Xi Jian asks to see." ”

Wei Shuo suddenly said: "It seems that Xi Jian has known that the situation in Jianye has changed greatly, and he can't sit still and wants to return to Jianye as soon as possible." ”

"My lord, right now, the new emperor needs the support of the feudal towns in various places, and you might as well be a favor later, and make it clear that Liaodong supports the new emperor."

As Wei Shuo expected, Xi Jian did come to pay his respects, since he learned the news of the death of the Son of Heaven and the accession of the crown prince, Xi Jian could no longer sit still, and even such a major event as the alliance into the Han Dynasty was temporarily put down by him.

Xi Jian knows very well how dangerous Jianye is at the moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is at stake. As long as Wang Dun took the opportunity to raise troops to launch a rebellion, the court would not have the slightest power to fight back.

This time, he came to visit Da Sima, in addition to resigning to Liaodong, he also wanted to explore Da Sima's attitude towards the new Son of Heaven. After all, it is rumored that Sima Shao had a conflict with Da Sima when he was inspecting Liaodong. In case Sima Weishuo 'abolished the public for private reasons' and was unwilling to publicly support Sima Shao's ascension, it would be tantamount to adding insult to injury for Jianye.

"Xi Jian meets Da Sima."

"Daohui must have resigned this time, speaking of which I admire Daohui's talent, I originally wanted to ask the imperial court to leave you in Liaodong to serve, but I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to die suddenly, and I didn't want to stay in Liaodong if I wanted to come to Daohui."

Wei Shuo said lightly, Xi Jian was really taken aback, not that he was unwilling to serve Wei Shuo, but that this invitation was too sudden. And Xi Jian is not a free body, he is a serving minister of the imperial court, unless he resigns, what reason does he have to choose to stay?

"Thank you Da Sima for your kindness, it's just the duty of the minister, I'm afraid I'll disappoint Da Sima."

"Hahaha, what Dao Hui said is extremely true, the current situation in Jiangdong is treacherous, and the Son of Heaven urgently needs talents like you, and he can't let the Son of Heaven who has just ascended the throne lose an arm for the benefit of Liaodong."

Hearing the support for Sima Shao between the words of the Great Sima, Xi Jian finally put it back in his stomach after hanging his heart, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Son of Heaven has the full support of the Great Sima, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and stabilize the court." ”

"After returning to Jianye, please ask Daohui to tell the Son of Heaven in person, saying that Liaodong will spare no effort to support the imperial court, and if anyone dares to risk the disapproval of the world, Liaodong will be the first to not let him go."

Receiving Wei Shuo's unhesitating support for the Son of Heaven, Xi Jian suddenly became angry, and he believed that when Wang Dun knew about it, he would not dare to raise troops to rebel easily. As long as Sima Shao survived the initial danger of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the longer the time dragged on, the more stable the throne of the new emperor would be.

Subsequently, Xi Jian, with the huge support of Liaodong, embarked on the journey back to Jiangdong with great ambition.

At the same time, Wei Shuo also took the opportunity to formally have a showdown with the two major forces of Cheng Han and Goguryeo.

Wei Shuo stared at Fan Ben with burning eyes and asked, "Prime Minister Fan, do you remember what I said to you two years ago?" ”

"Da Sima once said that my lord is benevolent, and he will not go south to become a Han before the Central Plains is decided, and when the general trend is determined in the future, I hope that I will become a Han and not go against the sky."

"It's good that Prime Minister Fan remembers, now it's time for Cheng Han to make a choice, I don't know what Cheng Han thinks?"

"This ......"

Fan Ben didn't know how to answer Wei Shuo all of a sudden, in the face of the strong Liaodong, Cheng Han's choice of stubborn resistance is of course a mantis arm as a car, but if Cheng Han wants to surrender with this move, don't say that he is not reconciled, I am afraid that Li Xiong, the lord of Cheng Han, will not be reconciled.

"So Cheng Han still chose war? Alas, why people are always reluctant to face reality. ”

Wei Shuo looked at Li Shou and Fan Ben with a disappointed face and said: "To be honest, I am very disappointed in Cheng Han, originally you knew the current affairs, but I didn't expect that you would still be stubborn." Prime Minister Fan Cheng can know that once Cheng Han chooses war, when the Liaodong soldiers come to the city in the future, you will no longer be the heroes of the imperial court, on the contrary, everyone will become a rebel. ”

"For rebellion, my Liaodong has always paid attention to killing everything!"

Listening to Da Sima's words like a cold wind, Fan Ben felt a chill all over his body, and he knew very well that Da Sima was serious this time.

However, Li Shoupo retorted unconvinced: "Why does Da Sima think that I will fail to become a Han?" What if it was Liaodong who was defeated? ”

Wei Shuo only glanced at Li Shou contemptuously, and didn't even have the idea of explaining to him.

Only Fan Ben knew very well that in the face of Liaodong's absolute strength, Cheng Han had no chance of winning at all. Originally, he was thinking of forming an alliance with Jiangdong, but now with the sudden death of the Son of Heaven, Jiangdong no longer has the energy to take care of Cheng Han.
