Chapter 419: The Great War is Imminent
Cui Su has never heard any news.
Wang Yan endured for a long time, and he finally made a move.
The accounts between him and Cui Su can be calculated slowly, but his forbearance with Sima Rui has reached the limit, more precisely, the time has come for the scholars and the royal power to compete.
Since Sima Rui ascended the throne, he has made several moves against Wang Xuan, and even wants to use Cui Su to provoke a fight between the Wang family and the Cui family, but Sima Rui can no longer stay.
Early this morning, an earth-shattering news suddenly broke out.
Sima Yu suddenly rebelled, Sima Yu is Sima Hong's younger brother, after Sima Hong ascended the throne, he was named the vassal king, his fief is in Yingchuan, hundreds of miles away from Yanjing, Yingchuan is extremely remote, there are only mountains and rocks are very desolate, so many years Sima Yu has been dissatisfied, but there has been no suitable opportunity.
This time, he took advantage of the sudden death of the courtiers one after another, using the fire in the temple for no reason as an excuse to say that Sima Rui was not the king of the Mandate of Heaven, so the heavenly ghosts and gods kept warning and sent troops to attack Sima Rui.
When Sima Rui learned the news, Sima Yu had already captured three cities in a row.
There was an uproar in the government and the opposition!
The vassal king has always only needed tens of thousands of troops, how can he take several cities overnight with his tens of thousands of troops.
Sima Rui's face was extremely ugly.
If Sima Yu really has such an ability to reach the sky, why has he been holding back in Yingchuan for so many years.
Whoever wrote it, whether it was Sima Rui or the Chinese military officials, they all knew it.
If there is no one to support Sima Yu, how can he dare to rebel?
Sima Yu is not a general, let alone a talent to guide the country, on the contrary, he is very mediocre, he has a weak personality, and he has no assertiveness in trouble.
What kind of person wants such an emperor?
Although such a person does not have one advantage, there is only one advantage, and that is to be very well controlled!
Sima Rui pushed Wang Xuan's death on Cui Xuan, even though he picked himself cleanly, Wang Yan was not mediocre. If Wang Xuan's death was committed by Sima Rui, the Wang family could justifiably crusade against Sima Rui.
The scholars cherish their feathers very much, and without real evidence, Wang Yan will never bear the reputation of plotting to usurp the throne and even kill the king.
If the Shi clan has the intention to usurp the throne, it is definitely not the turn of the Sima clan to guide the country, they can get up early to rebel, the Shi clan does not have this strength, but cherishes their name for a hundred years too much.
"Your Majesty, the rebels and thieves are approaching Yanjing, Your Majesty should hurry up and get an idea?" The courtiers looked at Sima Rui intently, all waiting for his decision.
Sima Rui didn't have any expression on his face, he raised his hand slightly: "The widow knows, you all step down! Let the widow think about it alone!"
Even though the ministers were unwilling, they still arched their hands and said, "No!"
Sima Rui slowly closed his eyes.
And all the ministers withdrew.
Only Sima Rui was left in the court, and there was also the eunuch who was accompanying him.
He originally wanted to use Wang Xuan's death to provoke the concern of the Wang family and the Cui family, wanting them to fight each other, and then when they both lost, he would wipe them out.
Unexpectedly, the Cui family was afraid of offending the Wang family, so they couldn't wait to expel Cui Su from the house, and now they are even more interested in the Wang family.
Even though Cui Su is a little arrogant, there is no one in the Cui family who can take on this important task except him, and the others are just some mediocre people.
I think that when Cui Yin was alive, the Cui family was only slightly inferior to the Wang family, and it was definitely not the turn of the Wang family to point fingers.
Sima Yu rebelled, the Wang family contributed a lot, and the Cui family would not stand idly by, as well as the Chen family.
Sima Rui frowned, it stands to reason that the vassal king rebelled, and he should have sent troops to quell the chaos.
But now he doesn't dare to send soldiers from elsewhere at all, he is afraid that if he transfers troops on the front foot to quell the chaos, other countries will take this opportunity to send troops to attack Yan State, even if other countries do not have this mind, the scholars will also encourage other countries to send troops.
Once the Yan Kingdom falls apart because of this, then he will become the sinner of the Yan Kingdom through the ages.
Sima Yu's excuse was even more sufficient.
He had some men, but they were nowhere near enough to quell the chaos.
It was a dilemma beforehand.
This is not a contest between him and Sima Yu, but a contest between the scholars and the royal power.
"Bring the wine!" Sima Rui shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the eunuch then brought the wine.
Sima Rui drank one glass after another, but after a few moments.
The ministers are still waiting for his decision!
Sima Rui held the wine bottle in his hand tightly, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The eunuch stood aside with his head bowed, and he didn't dare to say a word.
After a moment, Sima Rui opened his eyes suddenly, he looked at the eunuch intently and said: "The widow ordered the Duke of Zhenguo to lead 200,000 troops to quell the rebellion, and he will definitely wipe out Sima Yu and other rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
"No. The eunuch turned and left.
Sima Rui's eyes froze, Xie Changan had resigned, and now the only thing he could trust was the Mo family.
Now that the Mo family and him are grasshoppers on the same rope, if he loses power, the Mo family will not end well.
Those who should know have all known that on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Xie Langhua was going to Ganquan Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Xie Changan already roughly understood what Xie Langhua meant.
She was so enthusiastic that everyone knew that she was going to offer incense, just to lure those people to do it to her.
Xie Changan knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything more to Xiao and Xie Heng!
Many people were guarding the Xie family, but Cui Su did not appear.
It's the eighth day of the first lunar month!
Sima Rui sent Zhen Guogong to lead 200,000 soldiers to quell the rebellion, and the Southern Song Kingdom, which was adjacent to the south of Yan State, sent troops to attack Yan State.
Under the internal and external troubles, the people of Yan Kingdom were so panicked that they didn't even dare to go out.
Yanjing City, which was originally a prosperous city, is now depressed after the New Year, and there are no hawkers on the street, not to mention, and even pedestrians are much less.
Sima Rui hadn't slept for days.
Xie Langhua also knows about the situation in the DPRK, she died in her previous life and didn't know the final outcome, even if she has the heart and can't do anything, this is no longer something she can control.
She just wants to take her father, mother, Ah Heng, and Chun Tao safely away from all right and wrong.
Even though this is a troubled time, she still wants to find a place of peace for them.
It's night!
Everyone is still in the vicinity of Xie's house.
After dinner, the Shaw family and the others went to rest.
Xie Langhua also let Chun Tao rest.
She sat alone in the room.
Now a vague figure still flashed in her mind from time to time, she couldn't see the person's face clearly, and she didn't remember anything about him, but she knew that Wang Xuan.
The world's most unbeatable Wang family Shichiro.
"Miss. Suddenly, Fang Huanyun pushed the door and walked in.
Xie Langhua raised his head and looked at Fang Huanyun, Fang Huanyun said to her, "Wu Zhu has been found, and he is waiting for the eldest lady in the side hall of our courtyard at this moment." ”
