In the dead of night, the study room of the Chu Wangfu in Chang'an was brightly lit, and Sima Ting, Sima Yi, Zhou Chu and Du Jue sat around a large gilded black wooden table. There are several kinds of desserts on the table, which makes people feel their appetite, but the four people at the table don't seem to see it, but they are full of enthusiasm and devote themselves to the big thing of sending troops to Luoyang.

Sima Ting picked up a cup of tea, took a sip on his lips, and smiled at Zhou: "Lord Zhou, I think it's time to send troops now." What do you think about Zhou Daren? ”

Zhou slowly opened his eyes, which were originally slightly closed, and chuckled: "Outside Luoyang City, the Jingzhou Army and the Forbidden Army have been fighting for four months in a row. Hehe, the tenacity of the forbidden army is beyond our imagination! At that time, we speculated that Luoyang City would be broken in three months, but we didn't expect that now that four months have passed, the forbidden army has finally shown signs that it can't resist. However, it is conceivable that the soldiers on both sides must have been sleepy after fighting for so long. And our Chu army and Yongzhou army have been recuperating for several months, and now is the time when the edge is at its peak. The old man felt that, as the prince of Chu said, the time was already ripe. ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but excitedly say: "Okay! Now that everyone thinks it's time to send troops. So what are we waiting for? Tomorrow is the order to pull, we wave the army out of the customs, straight to Luoyang! ”

Zhou looked at Sima Yi and smiled, then suddenly shook his head again, and said, "Prince Yi, don't be impatient." The old man just said that the time was ripe now, but now was not the best time to send troops. ”

Sima Ting's heart moved, his body leaned around slightly, and his eyes flashed: "Oh? When was the best time to do that? Sima Ting knew that he still had a big gap compared to old schemers like Zhou Chu, and since Zhou Chu said that now was not the best time, then Zhou Chu must have a better plan.

Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "According to the old man, since the forbidden army can't resist it." Then we might as well let the King of Xiangyang directly break Luoyang City! According to the character of the king of Xiangyang, once Luoyang City falls into his hands, then the emperor will not be spared, but he is afraid that all the royal relatives will be slaughtered by him, and then establish himself as the emperor! At that time, the prince of Chu sent troops to Guanzhong again, under the banner of killing rebellion and avenging the emperor, and the vassal kings from all over the country must have responded. The prince of Chu besieged Luoyang together with the various vassal kings, and when Luoyang City was broken, the prince of Chu, as the king of Chu in the Great Jin Dynasty, had the merit of quelling the rebellion, and the royal family was no one, so he was bound to be able to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and achieve supreme hegemony! ”

As soon as Zhou's voice fell, Sima Yi jumped up from his seat and clapped his hands and shouted: "Wow! General Zhou is really scheming! That's a great plan! I've long seen that Sima Xin's idiot is not pleasing to the eye. Look what the world has become in his hands! It's better to let my seventh child do it! Hehe, when the time comes, Lao Qi will also make me a king. Hahahaha! ”

Sima Ting couldn't help but laugh a little when he saw the two people in front of him talking so rebelliously about plotting and plotting to usurp the throne, and that person was still his father-in-law. But facing the expectant eyes of the three of them looking at him, Sima Ting also began to hesitate. Emperor's throne, the supreme in the world! What a temptation! Many forces put down the glory and wealth in their hands and do not enjoy it, but they are willing to risk the threat of falling to the ground to play the world, for what? Isn't it just to let others call themselves emperors? Now I can become one of them, and according to the current situation, this matter is still nine out of ten! It's just that he just told Qinghe the news that he was going to wave his army out of the customs and capture Luoyang in the afternoon, which made Qinghe very happy. Now that she turned her head to plot to kill her father, she felt guilty.

Seeing Sima Ting's hesitant expression, Zhou immediately said in a deep voice: "Lord Chu." Those who achieve great things are not informal. The goal that the old King Chu had been fighting for was finally realized in the hands of the King of Chu. The prince of Chu can't be a woman's kindness because of the relationship between Princess Qinghe. When today's chaos occurs, it takes a talented imperial relative to come forward to revive the world! Such an important task belongs to the prince of Chu! ”

Sima Yi also said on the side: "Yes! Old Seven, General Zhou is right! If you don't sit on this throne, others will rush to sit on it! It's not seven years ago, and you know the news from our hidden agents everywhere. But if there are some soldiers and horses in his hands, which of the vassal kings is not fighting hard and is ready to move! That Sima Zhen is already uncontrollable, only you sit on the throne, with our world-beating strength, as long as we take this opportunity to defeat Xiangyang Wang Fan and Zhao Wanglun at the same time, who in the world will dare not listen to us! Seventh, don't hesitate, it's a big deal to make Princess Qinghe the queen when the time comes, my father and Sima Zhen are both grandfather's sons, and there is our share in this world! ”

Sima Ting saw Sima Yi and Zhou looking at him with blazing eyes, and the balance in his heart had begun to gradually tilt. However, when I thought of Princess Qinghe's heartbroken appearance at that time, it was difficult to make up my mind. The feeling of losing my parents couldn't be clearer. Empress Jia died at her own hands, and now the emperor will also die under his own conspiracy? Although Princess Qinghe will never know the truth, how can she cross the threshold in her heart?

Du Jue, who had not spoken, saw that Sima Ting's face was constantly changing, and at this time he suddenly spoke: "Zidu." General Zhou and Prince Yi were right. ”

Sima Ting turned his head to look at Du Jue, and saw that his eyes were deep and expressionless. It suddenly remembered what the Holy Gate had been doing for thousands of years! It's for the world! So many people up and down the entire Holy Gate threw their heads and shed their blood for themselves, just hoping that one day they could become the supreme in the world and restore the glory of antiquity? If they knew that they would give up this opportunity to obtain the throne for the sake of a woman, I am afraid that the entire Holy Gate would be the enemy of Princess Qinghe. With the fanatical attitude of the Holy Gate towards conquering the world, I am afraid that some of the mad people will even ......

Sima Ting's heart trembled suddenly, and he didn't dare to look down and think about it anymore. After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, please give orders to the three armies to start tomorrow." We soldier Chen Hangu Pass, waiting for the opportunity to move! ”

Zhou Chu, Sima Yi and Du Jue were all happy, Sima Ting said that the soldiers Chen Hangu Pass, instead of directly going out of Luoyang, that is equivalent to acquiescing to Zhou's plan. Zhou and Sima Yi hurriedly stood up at the same time, and arched their hands: "Obey!" He opened the door and strode out.

A moth pounced on the lantern, and there was a crackling sound from the lantern. Sima Ting and the Governor sat facing each other and were silent. After being silent for a long time, Sima Ting suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Master." I'm asking you a question. If it is said that the apprentice has no intention of taking the throne......"

Du Jue interrupted Sima Ting and said, "You won't! You have the blood of your father, the blood of the Sima family! Among the four sons born to your father, the second and third Sima Fan are keen on military service, and the other is keen on bed, except for the fact that they really don't have much interest in power, you and Sima Fan are like the sons of your ambitious father! Actually, the two of you are the same kind of people, it's just that Sima Fan doesn't leave room for anything, and it's just a little more extreme. ”

Sima Ting choked on half a sentence in his throat, and after listening to Du Jue's comment, he wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to start, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly. After a pause, Du Jue suddenly said seriously: "Zidu, do you know why you don't marry for the rest of your life?" As a teacher, I am afraid that once I marry a wife, I will have a bond. You are the Son of the Holy Gate, the hope that the Holy Gate has carried for thousands of years. The burden of the Lord's recovery is now on your shoulders! Good men are ambitious! Don't let your children's love sway you. ”

When the words fell, Du Jue's figure also disappeared from his seat, Sima Ting sat alone in the study, motionless, and his mind kept echoing Du Jue's words - don't let your children influence you...... Don't let your children's love sway you......

Sima Ting stayed awake all night, until a bright light spilled out of the door, and the corners of Sima Ting's mouth showed a meaningful smile. Blinking his somewhat dry eyes, he called softly, "Shadow Blade......"

A black-clothed shadow blade came out in response, stood in front of Sima Ting and said, "What does the Holy Son command?" ”

Sima Ting took a deep breath and said, "Tell Miss Wei Shuo, just say that we will open today." Lonely, please go all the way! ”

Ying Feng leaned over in response, his eyes flickered, and he disappeared into the study with a "whew".

Sima Ting got up slowly, stepped out of the door, facing the rising red sun, and a sense of pride also rose in his heart, this broken Dajin world, it is time to change the red sun! It is up to me to re-isolate the world, consolidate the Great Jin, and make the people of the Great Jin Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment again, and no longer be ravaged by war!

As for Qinghe...... Sima Ting's heart ached, and he said softly: "I'm sorry......"
