Since the beginning of February, Emperor Jin has deliberately tested the courtiers in the court, preparing to promote the martial arts hall.

To the surprise of Emperor Jin and even Xie Shence, at the beginning of the implementation of the martial arts, there was no resistance, on the contrary, even a large number of officials showed acquiescence, and a small number of officials agreed.

Emperor Jin and Xie Shence both understood in their hearts that this was not because of how popular the martial arts hall was, but because all families and ethnic groups had selfish intentions towards the martial arts hall.

In the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence and Zhou Jinmian secretly discussed this matter in the room.

Xie Shence tapped his fingers on the table and said: "Sima Bi monopolized the Northern Army, so that the promotion and recruitment of the entire Northern Army will be abolished, and this whole system depends on the General's Mansion, without Cangzhou's military order, no one can stuff people into it, even Your Majesty also needs to consider, let alone the ordinary family?" ”

Zhou Jinmian continued: "So those people or groups who have expressed their approval and acquiescence are actually thinking in their hearts to let the children of the family enter the martial arts hall to gild, become the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and then mix the qualifications and take power, etc." And because in the past two years, the Great Jin Dynasty has fought two wars, the northwest has won a complete victory, and the north has been defeated first and then won, which makes almost all people think that they have seen clearly who is the strong army of the Great Jin. And the two wars were won because of the intervention of the Admiral, so some people will inevitably have the feeling of "it is better to follow Sima than from Xie", so many people subconsciously think that Emperor Jin will make some adjustments to the north. And in order to be able to stand in line early to get oil and water, quite a lot of people actually welcome the martial arts hall in their hearts. ”

Xie Shence smiled at Zhou Jinmian's praise, this is not complacent, but just objectively analyzing some situations, Xie Shence motioned Zhou Jinmian to continue.

"Of course, this state of affairs, the enthusiasm that most people show or do not show, certainly cannot last long."

Xie Shence nodded, because in the early stage, Emperor Jin did not fully reveal his plans, and many people were still delusional. If people knew from the beginning that the purpose of the martial arts hall was to select talents from the common people and seize power from them, who would support it? If that was the case, Emperor Jin would not have attracted the seemingly beautiful situation as it is now, but the crazy opposition and destruction of the nobles.

After that, the two discussed some other things.

Since Zhou Jinmian was "untied" by Xie Shence, he has been very concerned about the matter of the martial arts hall that Xie Shence secretly discussed with Emperor Jin before. Therefore, once the lecture hall was mentioned by Emperor Jin, Zhou Jinmian has been paying close attention to the reaction of the court.

Based on this situation, Xie Shence did not pay so close attention to the matter of speaking martial arts. Now, under the auspices of the Ministry of Households, the situation in the north, including spring ploughing and disaster relief, has ended, and post-disaster reconstruction is also being carried out in an orderly manner. He completely abandoned the war in the north, and Tiqi also shifted the focus of his work to his own construction. Therefore, Xie Shence currently only has two things to do, one is the secret mission given to Xie Laosan, and the other is to deal with the affairs of the Sima family brothers.

Under the secret investigation of General Secretary Yang and him, Xie Shence has already laid out the whole thing in a planned way, and now all he has to do is wait. Seeing that the eldest sister was about to get married, Xie Shence watched coldly in his heart: see how long you can endure it!

On February 13, that is, only ten days before Xie Shenpei and Sima Tan got married, another major event happened.

The king of Qi wrote to Emperor Jin and impeached Sima Bi, the general of the Zhu State of the Dynasty, for three counts of treason.

Without warning, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a pot of boiling oil, and the court suddenly exploded.

! Is this still worth it?!

Sima Bi's treason?

Is the Great Jin going to die?

Is King Qi crazy?

Where's the Queen?

What is His Majesty the Emperor going to do?

What will Sima Da do?

How do we do that?

For a while, the people in the court were panicked.

King Qi's move was too sudden, and it was too shocking.

No one thought that King Qi would suddenly make such a move to his own uncle, Sima Bi, who has always been his strongest backing, and the head of the first martial arts family in the dynasty.

Treason

If the Nine Clans are exterminated, won't even the Queen Mother have to be killed? Wouldn't even Emperor Jin have to sit together? If the crime is convicted, will King Qi himself be guillotined?

The nephew impeached his uncle, and he wanted to punish his nine clans, is it a righteous annihilation?

Or dig your own grave?

Don't forget that Sima Bi is a general with 300,000 border troops, although he lost some of the previous wars against Yan State, but from the current point of view, where can Sima Bi's previous loss be regarded as a loss? It's clearly intentional!

The three charges of treason impeached by the King of Qi against Sima Bi were as follows:

Sima Bi sent a border army to attack Tiqi and conceal the military information, causing the Yan people to break through and the Great Jin lost hundreds of miles.

In order to conceal the military situation and indulge the Yan people to invade the territory, Sima Bi designed to send a battalion of rangers who had discovered the military information into the Yan army to surround them, and only one of the hundreds survived.

Sima Bi privately traded with Yuchizi, exchanged prisoners of war for money and food, expanded the army privately, and had contact with the Beehive and Erli people's organizations.

After King Qi read out these three charges to the court, the court was quiet for a while, and the needle could be heard.

Then bursts of exclamations and screams erupted, almost tearing off the roof of the main hall of Hanyuan Palace. Ninety percent of the ministers did not take into account the etiquette of the court at all, panicking, anger, questioning, scolding, and so on.

Emperor Jin's face was not noticed by many people.

The vast majority of people are panicking, or justifying or prevaricating or crying bitterly, and very few remain calm.

Those people were part of the Qi Wang Party and staunch supporters.

This matter was finally forcibly suppressed by Emperor Jin, and it was strictly ordered that anyone who dared to talk nonsense would be killed. In the early dynasty of this day, it was not until Emperor Jin summoned Xie Shence and asked him to sprinkle his horses all over the Jin capital, and the courtiers were able to go to the next court. After that, Emperor Jin left some people to discuss matters in the imperial study.

The atmosphere in Jindu suddenly became tense. Even ordinary people can feel it.

A team of mandarin ducks dressed in mandarin duck swords, dressed in black and strong suits, and the black tower-like covering is straight. The sword and black armor guards galloped back and forth in the streets and alleys of the Jin capital, and the city guards and the Yulin cavalry quickly changed defenses, which made the people of Kyoto in it think that the Qin people had suddenly hit the Jin capital.

At noon on the same day, a team of heavily armored Yulin Cavalry and Tiqi Black Armor Guards entered the University Scholar's Mansion and arrested all the relatives of the Sima family, including Sima Yu in Taixue.

In the afternoon of the same day, the gates of the city were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, except for the pigeons of the Ti Cavalry and the Imperial Guards, and anyone who dared to collect and release the pigeons without permission was immediately punished.

That night, the Jin capital reinstated the curfew that had not been in place for more than 20 years.

That night, Emperor Jin stayed in the imperial study, and the queen mother was blocked by the inner guards several times, and the queen mother was with the princess of Jinyang, who was just full moon.

That night, the five men of the Xie family stayed in the old lady's study until the second half of the night.

For three days in a row, Xie Shence stayed in Tiqisi.

The turmoil caused by the DPRK and China did not affect the people at the bottom, and even ordinary officials only had a lot less fun in their lives because of curfews and other measures similar to wartime, as for the cruise boats and green buildings on the banks of the Huangjing River, it was just after the New Year and suddenly entered winter.

In the past few days, the Criminal Department has become a vegetable market and a fireworks alley, with a hustle and bustle during the day and an all-night stay at night, and many members of the Criminal Department have boiled out dark circles. Such a scene is also staged in the other five films, although it is not so much, but it is not much better.

Because, it's a big deal!

The Criminal Department is busy, and the other five departments are working hard to sort out the files, strive to get rid of the relationship with Sima Bi or clear Sima Bi's charges. And the busiest of them, in addition to the Criminal Department, is undoubtedly the Military Department and the Household Department. The two brothers, Xie Yi and Xie Shang, are the busiest people in these two departments. Sima Biyao led the military department to be the secretary, and now the actual person in charge of the military department is Xie Yi, although he rarely asks about affairs, but in the stall where the right waiter was under house arrest at home because of Sima Bi's relationship, he had to provoke the big beam. And Xie Shang was "entrusted with a heavy responsibility" by the head of the household department because he was Xie Shence's father.

Xie Shence's Ti Cavalry Division, at this time, was really like a machine, and it was running in horror. The courtyard of the humble two-story building in Xie Shence's Admiral's Office has become the place with the largest flow of people in the Tiqi Division in the past three days.

Swift review of the public. Wen, quickly gave the order, and then the Tiqi executed without pause, going back and forth between the palace of the Tiqi Division, or from the Jin capital to all parts of the Great Jin.

In just four or five days, the order of the military headquarters was sent to Henan Province, Shandong Province, and Shanxi Province, and nearly 100,000 border troops began to move on a large scale, displaying them on the north bank of the Yellow River and the passes of the Taihang Mountains. And the Northwest Army of Guanwai Province has also begun to assemble.

This atmosphere lasted until the end of February, until the urgent decree of 800 li was delivered to Cangzhou, and then brought back a handwritten letter from Sima Bi in Cangzhou.

In such a situation, the marriage between Xie Shenpei and Sima Tan naturally could not continue.

For a while, the Xie family couldn't see a smile on their faces, even if Xie Shenwei occasionally took Princess Jinyang and Xiao Xie Rafter back to Weihou Mansion, they couldn't hear the laughter.

One day at the end of February, Xie Shence dragged his tired body back to the Weihou Mansion, and then immediately entered the old lady's study, and did not return to his small courtyard until late at night.

Caiyi fetched hot water for Xie Shence, who soaked in the warm water and fell asleep not long after.

In his sleep, Xie Shence found that someone was pushing him, and found that it was Caiyi, and the water was still warm, presumably Caiyi added hot water when he was asleep, so Xie Shence got up and dressed, hugged Caiyi back to the room, and then quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Xie Shence slept until the afternoon before waking up.

When he got up, he found that Caiyi was still in his arms, and he was looking at him intently.

"When's it?"

"Young master, it's already afternoon"

"Why don't you get up?"

Xie Shence pinched Caiyi's face.

Caiyi said softly: "The young master didn't get up, the third uncle came once, I asked the third uncle to watch outside, don't let people disturb the young master's rest." ”

"I'm asking why you didn't get out of bed."

Caiyi said intermittently: "Slaves, slaves and maids don't want to get up, I haven't seen the young master for a long time." ”

Xie Shence smiled: "It's just a day, didn't you come back the afternoon before yesterday?" ”

Caiyi was silent, Xie Shence hugged him into his arms, and then lowered his chin to her forehead and said, "Then sleep for a while." ”

Caiyi arched into Xie Shence's arms, and hummed inexplicably.

(ps: Uh-huh, New Year's greetings~~~ You all got a lot of New Year's money, right?) Is there anyone as miserable as I am?

There will be ~. ~）
