Chapter 59: Liu Yuan's Abacus

The affairs in the court did not affect Sima Shu's mood, because he knew that he could not bring down King Liang with a single letter, and he just wanted to protect the surrounding area.

Sure enough, after the chapter was handed over, the court's reply came down quickly, and King Liang was still the commander of the army, but Zhou was transferred to the prince's command, and the others remained unchanged.

"Your Highness, why does the court not distinguish between right and wrong? Obviously, it was King Liang who made the poison plan, why did he still let him serve as the commander of the army? But His Royal Highness has made such a great contribution, and he has only rewarded a small amount of money?! ”

The most unhappy thing about this matter was the upright Zhou Chu, he thought that the court would transfer King Liang away, and then the prince became the commander of the army by virtue of his military exploits, but he didn't expect King Liang to have nothing to do.

"Hey, lonely General Zhou, don't nag it, okay? Since the imperial court has made a decree to let King Liang make meritorious contributions, it means that this matter cannot be changed. Let's think about how to destroy the rebels! ”

Sima Shu knows more inside information than Zhou, and King Liang is a person from Empress Jia, so of course he will not easily lose his official position. In addition, his own performance is getting more and more brilliant, and the family and Jia Hou will not let themselves lead the army alone.

"By the way, the imperial court transferred General Zhou Lao to Gu's command, and we will work together in the future. Hehe......"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness is willing to smear His Highness's liver and brain!" Since Zhou was rescued by Sima Shu, after these days of contact, he has long admired the prince's behavior and methods.

"The old general is serious! Come, it just so happens that Shizhi is also here, and we will discuss the issue of cooperation in the future. Now that there are more than 5,000 people on both sides, I am afraid that it will be a little overstretched to cope with the next situation. Taking advantage of the fact that Gu had just sold 6,000 horses to the Huns, and extorted a large sum of money from the King of Liang, we must hurry up and recruit some new soldiers. ”

"At present, Guanzhong is full of displaced people, if this situation cannot be alleviated, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe! Alas! I don't know how King Liang reported to the imperial court, but the imperial court did not send people to help the displaced people. However, being alone as a prince should solve problems for the imperial court, and now that he knows it, he can't leave it alone. In this way, we will recruit 10,000 recruits from the first exile, and this matter will be taken care of by Shizhi and General Zhou! ”

"Your Highness, the minister is worried that our expansion of troops with such fanfare may cause dissatisfaction in the imperial court!" Zu Ti was still worried that the Luoyang Imperial Court would block it.

"Hahaha, Shizhi rest assured, Lone will recruit troops in the name of the sixth rate of the East Palace, even if the court wants to find trouble, you have to pass the Lone pass first, so you don't have to worry! It's the homeless people who are worried! ”

This is not Sima Shu's alarmism, in history, due to the rebellion of Qi Wannian, which led to the Hu people in Guanzhong, so that Guanzhong had no restored people's strength, further erosion, coupled with many years of famine, so that Guanzhong displaced people are everywhere, some of them include Han people, Qiang people, Di people, in order to avoid disasters moved into Shuzhong.

Among them, there is a good man of the Di nationality named Li Te, and his descendants have successfully seized Shuzhong and established the Cheng Han regime with the help of the power of this exile.

Sima Shu is ready to take the lead and collect some of the displaced people, on the one hand, he will win the hearts of the local people, and on the other hand, he really wants to recruit some reckless heroes. Since he fell out with the family, it is estimated that he will not want to get talents from the family in this life, otherwise he will not have only a few ancestors under him now.

"Okay, please rest assured, Your Highness, this matter is on us, and the minister will go and start recruiting. It's just that these recruits we have summoned can come in handy, Your Highness? ”

Zu Ti was a little worried that the new soldiers would not be of great use, although the main force of the rebels was eliminated, but the Hu people were originally on the horse for the soldiers and dismounted for the people, and the Han people had natural defects in this regard.

"Hehe, Shizhi don't worry, I don't need us to go to the battlefield for a while, now General Meng has just arrived in command of the elite, plus there are five thousand elite Hun cavalry to help, and the remaining rebels are not to worry about at all. These recruits are not recruited to deal with the rebels at all, but for the future. ”

"Come, come and see." Sima Shu led a few people to a map of Yongzhou, "In Anding County, Fengyi County and their north live a large number of Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu, these two tribes are the main force of this Guanzhong rebellion, I plan to find an opportunity to teach these two tribes a lesson first, and then clean up the northern border counties by the way!" ”

King Liang's camp, Sun Xiu and Lu Bo were accompanying King Liang to drink and have fun.

"Huh! Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince! ”

"Hehe, thanks to Mr. 's plan this time, otherwise the widow would have to ask for the guilt and enter Beijing this time."

"Hey, the prince is too worried, with the prince's natural nobility, even if there are no ministers, he can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble."

"Lord, the minister heard that the prince also took a chapter and put all the blame on the prince, but is there such a thing?"

Since being taught a lesson by the prince, Lu Bo has formed a grudge with the prince and wants to seek revenge from the prince, but he also knows that he can't do it on his own anyway, and this matter has to fall on King Liang.

"Humph! He is the crown prince, and his mouth grows on him, what does he want to say about us! ”

At this time, King Liang did not have a good impression of Sima Shu, he was afraid that the prince would seize power, but now he was even more afraid that the prince would grasp his handle and end him up.

"Lord Wang, we can't sit still, we must take the initiative. The crown prince has just defeated the main force of the rebels, and it is said that a large number of confidential rebel documents have been seized, if there is really a letter written by the prince to Qi Wannian......"

Listening to Lu Bo's words, King Liang frowned, he didn't want to leave any traces at the beginning, but Qi Wannian was not a vegetarian, he couldn't see King Liang's handwritten letter, and he didn't want to ambush Zhou everywhere, for fear of falling into other people's calculations, but he didn't expect that today's incident would become evidence of his internal and external enemies.

"Are you saying that the crown prince has mastered the control of this king?"

"Well, the minister is eighty percent sure that the letter written by the prince to Qi Wannian must have fallen into the hands of the prince."

"In that case, why didn't the crown prince present it to the imperial court?"

"Hehe, because the prince is a smart man, he knows that a letter alone is not enough to kill the prince, you must know that behind the prince is Queen Jia, who is the most powerful person today."

"In that case, why should Lone be worried?"

"Hehe, does the prince know the story of Xinling Jun stealing talismans to save Zhao? At the beginning, the Jin contempt killed by Xinling Jun was backed by King Wei!? Prince Chenguan is by no means a simple character, he must be planning the Guanzhong army in the hands of the prince, if the prince does not want to follow in the footsteps of Jin Contempt, he must plan early! Sun Xiu's tone was full of temptation.

"This, this...... Think about it! How could King Liang not hear Sun Xiu's implication, but he himself was not so bold, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Sun Xiu was quite disdainful of this, thinking that King Liang was not as good as King Zhao, although King Zhao was not a man of great talent, but at least he dared to do and think, since he made up his mind to ascend to the supreme position, King Zhao has been working tirelessly for him. Look at King Liang again, he is obviously afraid that the prince will seize power, but he hesitates and looks forward and backward.

After coming out of the king of Liang, Sun Xiu turned to the camp of the Huns. Liu Yuan also had other purposes in mind when he entered the customs this time, and the Jinyang Wang family wanted him to cooperate with Sun Xiu to get rid of the prince. To be honest, Liu Yuanzhen didn't take Sima Shu in his eyes before, but some recent events made him look at the prince with admiration.

The prince not only rescued Zhou from the siege of the army in one fell swoop, but also completely defeated the main force of the Hu rebels. It can be said that the prince's war basically settled the situation in Yongzhou and Qinzhou!

What made Liu Yuan even more impressed by Sima Shu was that in the face of the spoils of war that were snatched by others, the prince did not choose to settle the matter, but recaptured what belonged to him in an extremely fierce way, and did not hesitate to bite off a piece of meat from him when there was a advantage to take advantage of.

If Liu Yuan killed the prince in the past, on the one hand, it was to curry favor with the Jin Dynasty's family, and on the other hand, it was to provoke civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, so that the Huns could reap the benefits of the fishermen. Now he is somewhat willing or impatient, because he has listed the crown prince as the biggest obstacle to the rise of the Xiongnu. He would never want such a capable and tough person to ascend to the throne of the Jin Dynasty, otherwise the Huns would have to be suppressed by the Han and never want to get ahead.

"Father, Sun Xiu is visiting!" Just as Liu Yuan was pondering, his son Liu Cong came in.

"Oh? Please! No, I'm going to greet it myself! ”

When Liu Yuan heard that Sun Xiu had arrived, he hurriedly got up to greet him. When he was in the capital, he had a lot of contact with Sun Xiu, and knew that this person was a complete villain, and he loved to repay him, as the saying goes, he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, he didn't want to offend this person for no reason.

"Oh, sir, it's really brilliant!" Although Liu Yuan was disdainful in his heart, he still smiled and complimented Sun Xiu.

"Hehe, Lord Governor is polite, Sun Mou came here this time to discuss important matters." Sun Xiu knew that if he wanted to succeed, Liu Yuan's help was indispensable, so he was quite polite, but deep down he still looked down on these attached Hu people.

Sun Xiu's idea actually represented the mainstream thinking of the scholars of the Jin Dynasty, who looked down on the Hu people from the bottom of their hearts, but also wanted the Hu people to be slaves and maids for them to drive. This is a typical treatment of Hu people as Kaizi! In addition to the huge ambitions of the Hu Dynasty in history, which coveted the flowery world of the Central Plains, it also had a lot to do with the Jin Dynasty's inability to correctly deal with the Hu people's problem.

"Oh? What did the gentleman say? ”

"Hehe, didn't the governor ask knowingly! I don't talk to the governor anymore, the queen and the family are so hard to get the prince to Guanzhong, and they don't want to find an opportunity to quietly kill each other. Your Excellency, on behalf of the family, is the agent of the queen's mother, and now the family and the queen have long been unbearable to the prince's performance, and they are bent on getting rid of Sima Shu, and the two of us are responsible for carrying out this task, specifically in the next responsible for making suggestions, and the Governor is responsible for the specific implementation. ”

"No problem, sir, just give me orders, and listen to you!"

"Hahaha, that's all we have to do!"

Sending Sun Xiu away, Liu Yuan instantly turned into a happy and angry hero, he thought about Sun Xiu's words just now with a calm face, what the family and Empress Jia were planning, he knew it clearly.

It's just that I want the Huns to carry the black cauldron, the assassination of the prince is not a trivial matter, and I have to give an explanation to the people of the world anyway, and the Huns are the ghosts that the family and Empress Jia plan to throw afterwards.

"Humph! If you want us Huns to carry the black cauldron, hum! It's not that easy! Saying that, an inexplicable light shot out of Liu Yuan's eyes.

In the next few days, the entire Jin army camp was filled with a strange calm, and the king of Liang and the crown prince were at peace with each other, and no one could see that there had been a fierce conflict between the two. And Sun Xiu was constantly secretly wandering between King Liang and Liu Yuan, making the final preparations.
