Out of the Taiji Palace, Chen Ling's Shu Tai, feeling the wind outside the hall, as if the slender hand of a young beauty brushed his face, he smiled slightly and said to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea: "Yuan Chao should go with me to draft the edict." ”

Sima Yue and Chen Lian are both Zhongshu Ling, this is the meaning of the title, he smiled deeply and said: "The old Zhongshu mediates, I should be attached to the wings." ”

Chen Ling laughed out loud after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

Zhongshu Province is not big, and the brand of the word "Inner Pavilion" in the book is not atmospheric, but the mountain is not high and there is a fairy name, and the water is not deep and there is a dragon and a spirit, and the low-key decoration cannot cover up the high-profile nature of the edict of Zhongshu Province.

The edict was written in order for Chen Lian to spread out the edict, and he personally put forward the edict to draft, and the edict said: I have been in the imperial pole for ten years, the four seas are clear, and the people live in peace. I was heartbroken, and I sent an envoy to lead the men to relieve the fight for you, and Wang'er and others stopped fighting and stopped fighting.

Chen Lian took the prepared edict to Sima Yue on the side: "Yuan Chao, you check it." ”

Sima Yue was looking at the edict on the side, he symbolically picked up the edict and glanced at it a few times, and then said: "Every word is beautiful, Chen Lao will solve the fight for the two princes, and the little king will naturally attach his wings." ”

Chen Lian's face was full of the word proud, and he nodded and said, "Then use the seal." As he spoke, his slightly cloudy eyes gleamed, and his smile became more and more pleasant.

Not long ago, the prepared edict was sealed, with the emperor's seal in the six seals, where the princes were given the king's book to use, this time to mediate the fight between the two princes, so please out of this side of the treasure seal. After the edict was printed, a small eunuch took it to Menxia Province for review.

The Phoenix Pond in front of the inner hall is sparkling, and it can't help but throw a little spot of light into people's eyes. Sima Yue looked at the sparkling spots on the pond, while quietly pondering the situation, after thinking twice, he said casually: "When the province reviews the edict, let Fu Sima take the Yu banner to the two princes to solve the fight." ”

Chen Ling smiled secretly in his heart; And sure enough, it came. He looked at the unsettling Phoenix Pond in his eyes, and did not answer Sima Yue directly, but asked lightly: "Didn't you say it in the court just now?" ”

Sima Yue pressed all the doubts in his heart and said no more, and continued to look at the water color of the Phoenix Pool with Chen Ling, and after looking at it for a while, he found an interface and walked out of the inner hall. After leaving Zhongshutai, he had a wind under his feet all the way, but the route he took was full of twists and turns, and finally turned to Menxia Province, which reviewed the edict.

The Chunming Pond in front of the Provincial Mansion under the door is quietly spitting undulating waves, a gust of wind blows, the pool water is wrinkled, and the willow branches projected on the water surface are also more swaying. Sima Yue had no intention of looking at the meaningless scenery, and only rushed to the lobby with the word 'Purple Pavilion' written on the door plaque. 'Purple Pavilion' is the office of the provincial lord of Menxia.

As soon as Sima Yue's feet stepped into the gate of the Purple Pavilion, he saw Sima Xu, a regular attendant of the scattered cavalry and the marquis of the city, happily walking out with a volume of edicts. Sima Yue hurriedly shouted to him: "Ji Zhike has reviewed the edict? ”

Bacheng Hou Sima raised the edict in his hand and said: "It has been printed and is about to be sent, Yuan Chao thank you this time." ”

Sima Yue stretched out his hand and pulled the shoulder of the Marquis of Bacheng into the room, and said, "Don't be busy thanking me, I'll take another look at the edict." ”

Sima Xu was pulled back to the Purple Pole Pavilion, and Sima Xun and Sima Qian inside were immediately shocked, and the two of them also gathered around and asked Sima Yue: "Yuan Chao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Sima Yue snatched the edict, spread it out and looked at it, he looked left and right, and after repeating it, he finally raised his head and said as if he had made up his mind: "Have you ever heard a word? ”

Sima Xun, Sima Qian, and Sima Xu glanced at each other, and then asked Sima Yue, "What words?" ”

Sima Yue said word by word: "The general will not be affected by the order of the monarch outside!" As he said this, he casually pulled out a rolled-up edict from his sleeve and knocked it on the table.

Sima Xun, Sima Qian, and Sima Xu looked at each other, and Sima Xun was puzzled in his heart: "Could it be that Sima Qianwei still dares not to obey the edict after taking the edict?" And why is he? Just with the dozens of soldiers who were on duty in the palace with his front guard? I can mobilize the palace guards to take him down now! Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Sima Xun opened his mouth and asked, "Yuan Chao, you mean the White Tiger Banner?" ”

But when I finally got to the point, I wasn't too stupid. Sima Yue nodded, and then asked in a sarcastic tone, "Now you still want to send out the edict?" ”

When Sima Yue left, he seemed to have forgotten to take the edict he brought, Sima Xun and the three looked at each other, Sima Qian pointed to the extra edict on the table and said, "This is Sima Yue's fall?" Then he picked up the edict and opened it to see that there was not a word.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and Chen Ling, who was waiting in the inner hall, finally couldn't sit still, "Why can't the edict be handed down!" He shouted in his mouth, and then ordered the little eunuch who was waiting beside him to go to Menxia Province to inquire about the situation. The little eunuch went for a while and came back to his life, telling this Chen Zhongshu that the province had rejected Zhongshu's draft edict!

"How can it be!" Chen Ling slapped the table angrily, he stood up and paced and weighed repeatedly with his hands behind his back, and after half a ring, he sneered and said to himself: "The old man can also ask for the middle order." ”

However, when Chen Lian was waiting for Zhongshutai Anran, Sima Xun was not idle, and he got Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, which was almost equivalent to an explicit hint, the three brothers knew that the matter was urgent, and they couldn't delay for a moment, once they let the precursor guard carry the white tiger banner out of the palace, even if the precursor guard only had dozens of people on duty, it was enough to become the last straw that crushed the camel.

Sima Xun took the edict and hurriedly walked all the way north along the east side of the palace, he was going to the palace forbidden army's garrison 'Imperial Soldier Station', and it was also the place where the chief officer of the forbidden army in the palace handled confidential affairs. As for the edict in his hand, of course, it was the blank volume that Sima Yue accidentally forgot to take.

Sima Xun, as the chief official of the forbidden Chinese, is a servant of Kang, and his duty is to deliver the emperor's edict to the forbidden army on duty in Ouchi, and he is half of the official of the forbidden army. There is no chief officer in the Great Internal Forbidden Army, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, otherwise Sima Xun would not just let this servant shoot.

Sima Xun stepped into the gate of the palace and immediately called the little eunuch and asked, "Where is Fu Sima?" The little eunuch trotted all the way to Sima Xun, bowed his waist and humbly replied, "My lord, Fu Sima is in the house." ”

Sima Xun nodded, threw down the eunuch and entered the palace, and when he found the former guard Sima Fuyin, this Fu Sima also looked restless, and Sima Xun asked: "The court is going to send you to solve the fight, Fu Sima, how do you plan to act?" ”

Fu Yin immediately said: "With the edict in hand, the lower officials will announce the decree to them after leaving the palace." ”

Sima Xun asked again: "What if Sima Yun refuses to obey the order?" ”

Fu Yin took a breath, and then made a fist salute: "The duty is, the humble duty is to break the bones, and the two sides must stop fighting and fight!" ”

Sima Yun shook his head and said in a deep tone: "Sima Yun raised troops to besiege the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is a rebellion. ”

Fu Yin's eyes flickered: "Now the situation is unclear, and I haven't figured out the reason for the conflict between the Zhonghu Army and Lord Xiangguo." ”

Sima Xun's voice suddenly became fierce: "Fu Sima! The traitor Sima Yun raised the sword in vain, if you can help Xiangguo pacify the rebellion, Lord Xiangguo will not hesitate to reward him! ”

Fu Yin lowered his eyebrows and refused to accept the invitation, he said in a sincere tone: "My lord, there are only forty guards in the hands of the lowly position. The humble office relied only on His Majesty's edict. If you want to eliminate the war, why don't you issue an edict quickly? But have you been waiting for the edict? ”

Sima Xun gritted his teeth and said almost word for word: "As soon as Sima Yun died, there was just a lack of a new middle guard. Fu Sima, I will now promise you the Central Protector Army on behalf of Xiangguo. ”

The flame of desire flashed in Fu Yin's eyes instantly, and he calmed down and said, "My lord, what is written in the edict is to let the two sides stop fighting and fight... ”

Sima Xun interrupted Fu Yin: "You just need to take the Su Yu banner and say that Your Majesty asked you to order Sima Yun to stop the army!" ”

Fu Yin was dumbfounded, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "What if King Huainan refuses to quit the army?" "What time of year is it, and you still expect Sima Yun to stop the army? Does he look like a man who is tied up? How old are you?

Sima Xun stomped his feet, and his tone became slightly anxious: "As soon as the Su Yu banner came out, the soldiers of the King of Chu were scattered, what are you afraid of?" ”

'What am I afraid of?' I'm afraid that if I take the Yu flag, how can I deceive Chen Ling! Besides, you are so sure that the Huainan Army is so obedient that it will obediently lay down its arms? Fu Yin was full of slander in his heart, but he pulled back the topic that had been running all over and said: "The king of Huainan has tens of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, and there are too few people in his humble hands. ”

Sima Xun thought to himself, 'What can I do to motivate my soldiers?' He only urged Fu Yin: "Fu Sima, you don't have to worry, the forbidden army is loyal to the imperial court, and with the edict, no one will dare to resist the decree." ”

Fu Yin shook his head again and said, "My lord, the soldiers of the vanguard guard are also people, taking such a big risk, if the adults have no way to motivate morale... ”

Sima Xun had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately held Fu Yin's hand tightly with both hands, and said in a solemn tone: "Fu Sima, if you can trust me, you and I will make a blood alliance, and I will definitely fight for you for the middle protection army promised to you." If I break my promise, I will be taught that thunder and thunder will not lead to a good death! ”

'Sima Xun, your kid is finally on the road! Fu Yin couldn't bear the excitement, and on the surface he was silent, he bowed deeply, "The front guard must die for Lord Xiangguo." ”

Note 1: The three Janissary Guards are the Forward Guard, the Base Guard, and the Strong Crossbow Guard, and the Three Guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor.

Note 2: Kang Cong Servant is the secretary of the Ouchi Forbidden Army, and he is not in charge of the military himself, but is only responsible for the transfer and management of the Ouchi Forbidden Army for the emperor, so he is regarded as a small half of the chief officer of the Ouchi Forbidden Army directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.
