In the sixth year of Jianxing, 318 A.D., the name of this year did not exist in the original history, because in the fourth year of Jianxing, Liu Yao broke through Chang'an and captured Emperor Jin.

Sima Rui then called the King of Jin in Jianye, and changed the year name to the first year of Jianwu, so 318 should be the second year of Jianwu.

Then Emperor Jin will die in February this year, and in March, Sima Rui ascended the throne in Jianye and became emperor, changed the Yuan Taixing, and continued the Jin dynasty Guozuo.

It's a pity that due to Wei Shuo's accidental intrusion, although he failed to change Sima Ye's fate as a prisoner, at least he avoided falling into the hands of Hu Lu and suffering humiliation in every way. The Son of Heaven lives well, so this Jianxing era name can only be used forever.

Since the second half of the fourth year of Jianxing, it has been an extremely peaceful year for the whole of Liaodong, and it is also a year when the Liaodong Army stopped its conquest and entered the whole training in an all-round way.

After more than a year of recuperation, the 140,000 troops have completely recovered, and the economic and people's livelihood development in various localities has been put on the right track. In addition, it seized the South Seas, controlled the trade rights between the East and the West, and signed a trade agreement with the Roman Empire, which injected a strong impetus into the future development of Liaodong.

However, the more powerful Liaodong is, the more vigilant the outside world is, just after the Spring Festival, when the news that Liaodong and the feudal towns have reached a series of cooperation came out, it attracted the attention of all parties in the world.

At the same time, Roman fever quickly spread from Jicheng to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty, becoming the hottest topic at the beginning of the sixth year of Jianxing.

In Jianye, Wang Dun, the general of Zhendong in the palace, looked at his old opponent Liu Kui and said with a mocking expression: "Lord Liu, isn't Wei Shuo a great talent recommended by you?" You haven't always praised his loyalty, and you are a loyal minister and capable official of my Great Jin, but today it seems that Lord Liu has also lost his eyes. ”

"Humph! The old man had already felt that Wei Shuo felt that he had wolf ambitions, if it wasn't for the king's deliberate obstruction, how could there be today's disaster? Gee! Wei Shuo is really majestic, he dares to privately gather all the feudal towns to Jicheng to gather, it seems that people don't take the king in their eyes at all! ”

"You won't be jealous anymore, will you?"

In the main hall, from the king of Langya to the civil and military staff, all stood solemnly, and only Wang Dun stood there wantonly mocking everyone. At this moment, Wang Dun was extremely proud, and he waited for a moment for an unknown amount of time, and everything that happened in front of him proved that he was right to be hostile to Wei Shuo at the beginning.

And although King Langya was full of humiliation in his heart, who let Wang Dun say it correctly, so he had to pretend to be respectful and teachable.

"General, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, let's think more about how to deal with it!"

Next to him, Director Wang saw that King Langya's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, for fear that he would be annoyed and angry, so he hurriedly grabbed Wang Dun, who was going to continue to chatter, and changed the topic.

Wang Dun was still smashing his mouth, without Wang Dao mediating, with his strong style, the Wang family had already fallen out with the family and King Langya. Therefore, he can not give face to King Langya, but he can't help but give face to Wang Dao.

"Well, what Mao Hong said is very true, speaking of which, even the old man didn't expect Liaodong's expedition to Nanyang to hide such a deep mind! Nearly 10 million transactions a year! No wonder Liaodong traveled thousands of miles to defeat the barbarians and Funan. However, where is this Roman Empire sacred, and is Liaodong as rich as Liaodong said? ”

"The general doesn't know, according to the news from Liaodong, that Rome is the Great Qin recorded in the history books, and its country is thousands of miles away according to my Great Jin. During the Huanglong period of Eastern Wu, there were sporadic big businessmen who came to Eastern Wu by sea, and were warmly entertained by Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, but did not attract anyone's attention. ”

As soon as Diao Xie's voice fell, the faces of the Jiangzuo family, including Lu Ye, became even more ugly. Not to mention the ports along the southern coast, as well as the powerful Jiangdong Naval Division, judging from the information alone, Jiangdong should have become the best trading partner of the Roman Empire, so why did Liaodong take the lead?

"Is there no way to replace Liaodong to seize the dominance of maritime trade?"

As soon as he remembered that millions of dollars of wealth poured into Liaodong every year by sea, King Langya regretted it. Why hadn't he thought about the Maritime Silk Road earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have missed out on the Roman mission. It will not let Liaodong develop and grow because of this, and lose the opportunity to restrict Liaodong.

Right Changshi Zhouyi pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Returning to the king, unless the Son of Heaven can directly issue an order to declare Liaodong a rebellion, and then unite the princes to send troops to fight, otherwise Jiangdong can only watch Liaodong take the opportunity to sit big." ”

"Son of Heaven? Hum! The Son of Heaven is still in the hands of the King of Nanyang, do you think the King of Nanyang dares to offend Liaodong? ”

Wang Dun snorted coldly and continued: "Although the king of Nanyang successfully entered Chang'an and grasped the power of the imperial court, it was because Liaodong did not move. As long as the king of Nanyang is not stupid, he will never dare to declare Liaodong a rebellion, otherwise he will be joking with his own life. ”

"Alas! In this way, it is impossible to take it by force, so I can only send someone to Jicheng to talk to Wei Zhenbei! Director Wang sighed.

"Tell me, who to send to Jicheng?" King Langya had no choice but to accept Director Wang's suggestion.

"Return to the king, the minister is willing to go!"

"The minister is also willing to go!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as King Langya's words fell, everyone rushed to Jicheng, and even the Jiangzuo family, which had always been against Liaodong, was not to be outdone. Obviously, everyone is interested in Liaodong, and they feel a little uneasy to listen to outsiders, so it is better to go to the field in person.

After some competition, in the end, Zhou Yi, Wang Dao, Liu Kui, and Gu Bi became the second wave of envoys to Liaodong. The reason why Liu Kui was put on the list was mainly because he had friendships with many people in Liaodong, and with this acquaintance with him, everyone would not be treated coldly in Liaodong.

To put it bluntly, Liu Kui is an introducer, and the other three represent the three major forces of the Langya King, the Wang family, and the Jiangzuo family.

"But it's not suitable to go to Liaodong right now, and we'll have to talk about it in a while!"

……

"Damn! So how dare Liaodong not give face to the widow? Hang Mr. Chunyu aside? ”

After returning to Chang'an, Chun Yuding had just reported everything he had encountered in Jicheng, and King Nanyang couldn't help but roar. In his opinion, he left behind the dignity of the prince of the clan and sent people to Jicheng to seek reconciliation in a low voice, and Wei Shuo should take the kindness he released.

"King, since Liaodong doesn't know what to do, it's better to directly issue an edict to denounce it as a rebellion, and then call on the princes of the world to fight against it!"

Chun Yuding's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly stood up and persuaded: "The king can't!" Once you tear your face with Liaodong, you will still suffer from the king in the end! Don't forget, there are still tens of thousands of Liaodong troops stationed in the north of Yongzhou, and before the outside world attacks Liaodong, Chang'an may be occupied by it! ”

King Nanyang retorted angrily: "Can ...... But if you don't do this, can you only let Liaodong bully? ”

Since the king of Nanyang entered Chang'an to take charge of the government, he has not seen other abilities, but his temper is more obvious than before, and he will never dare to provoke Liaodong before. It's just that since imprisoning Sima Ye, Sima Bao no longer feels that he is the Son of Heaven. In his opinion, Wei Shuo didn't put him in his eyes, that is, he didn't put the Son of Heaven in his eyes, and he should be punished by the Nine Clans.

"The king, since Liaodong dared to put his ministers aside, he obviously didn't take the king in his eyes, and now he is using sea trade to firmly tie the world domain and Liaodong together. Moreover, General Zhenbei is a great hero of Kuang Fu Sheji, even if you give an order on behalf of the Son of Heaven, those feudal towns will only think that this is a chaotic fate, and they will not obey it at all. ”

"It seems that the widow is still not right, even if the widow is so widowed, just abolish Sima Ye and become the Son of Heaven?"

"Never, my lord! This will only leave Liaodong with an excuse to attack Chang'an. ”

"This is not okay either? That doesn't work either? What the hell do you mean, sir?! Well, the gentleman will not say more, the widow has made up his mind, and he is ready to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne! ”

"The king is wise!"

Regarding the choice of King Nanyang, the staff under his command were divided into two factions at once, Chun Yuding and Pei Xu, who insisted on not moving their troops and could not provoke Liaodong too much, so that the other party could find an excuse. On the contrary, Yang Man, Zhang Chun, and Yang Ci were enthusiastic and clamored to support his accession.

These people have long been blinded by power, and they don't care about the fact that Liaodong is strong, and they just want to die if they are addicted. If it weren't for Chun Yuding and Pei Xu's obstruction before, they would have asked King Nanyang to abolish Sima Ye. (To be continued.) )
