Liu Kun and Sima Rui studied in Luoyang together, he and Sima Rui and Wang Dao are friends, but compared with the two of them, he and the bold and cheerful, chic and unrestrained Wang Dun can talk more and drink more, in his opinion, Sima Rui and Wang Dao are too soft, but he has always admired Wang Dao's wisdom.

He did not regard Sima Rui as the king of the south of the Yangtze River, but still regarded him as the prince of the distant branch of the Jin family.

Liu Kun also has this confidence, so as soon as he saw Sima Rui, he waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Does the king want to break off his friendship with Maohong?" ”

King Langya hurriedly asked, "Why did Yue Shi say this?" ”

"As soon as I entered the city, I heard that you left Mao Hongqiang in the mansion, so I asked."

King Langya hurriedly explained: "It's just that Maohong is unwell, so he left him in the mansion to recuperate, and there is no intention of house arrest." ”

"You can ask a doctor to escort Mao Hong home, it is best to let the frame go around the street, so that the people in Jiankang City can see it, and it can also reassure the people," Liu Kun said: "If Mao Hong knows that his safety affects the hearts of the people and can stabilize the situation, he will definitely be willing to work for the king this time." ”

Wang Qiang of Langya laughed and said, "How can I let Maohong take such a risk? He should be recuperating now. ”

Liu Kun shook his head and said: "I know that you have a deep relationship with him, but you shouldn't forget your public affairs with selfishness, if there is a greater disaster because of this, it is not what Mao Hong wants, he has borne this crime in vain, is it good for his condition?" ”

The corners of King Langya's mouth tightened, and he could only turn his head and instruct left and right: "Go and invite Wang Tingshi to come, just say that Liu Tingshi is coming to visit, please see him." ”

The staff responded and left, just as Liu Kui came in, he heard a word and said, and hurriedly came in and said, "King, why do you want to release Wang Dao?" ”

He said: "Wang Dun ignored your recall order, and sent people to Jiankang City privately, it can be seen that there is already a heart of rebellion, at this time, it is time to take down the Wang clan to threaten Wang Dun, and order him to return to the city, if he does not obey, he will kill the Wang clan to deter, how can you release Wang Dao at this time?" ”

After that, he glared at Liu Kun angrily, thinking that he had bewitched King Langya, "Wang Dun privately sent troops to loot Jingzhou's tax grain, Luoyang wants to ask him for the blame, our king is bent on arresting and violating the court, why should the king speak for Wang Dun?" Could it be that he is nostalgic for the old feelings, so I don't know if this is the meaning of the envoy himself, or the instructions of General Zhao? ”

Liu Kun was not afraid of him, but asked: "Wang Dun committed a crime, what does it have to do with Wang Dao?" Plundering taxes and grain is a heinous crime, but it is not enough to implicate the clan, as far as I know, Wang Dao has been advising Wang Dun to prevent him from plotting rebellion, shouldn't the king praise and appease Wang Dao? Why do you want to kill him instead? ”

King Langya: "...... I didn't want to kill him, I kept him in the house to recuperate. ”

Liu Kui was disappointed, King Langya's heart to seize power was not firm, they were already in a weak position, no matter how firm he was, this battle could not be beaten.

Whether facing Wang Dun or Zhao Hanzhang, King Langya will lose.

So what's the fight?

Surrender as soon as possible.

It is impossible to surrender Wang Dun, with Wang Dun's character, he will definitely kill him, he only has Zhao Hanzhang to choose.

At the thought of it, he was heartbroken.

Liu Kun doesn't care about the two monarchs and ministers with different thoughts, he has his own rhythm, "King, I came to Jiangnan to be a lobbyist for General Zhao, and I want to invite the Wang's family to Beijing, first, to meet Your Majesty, and second, to welcome you back to Langya's fiefdom." ”

King Langya didn't expect him to be so straight, and after his face changed several times, he hurriedly found a reason to refuse.

Liu Kun sighed and asked: "The king insists on staying in Jiangnan, does he think that he can occupy Jiangnan and rule across the river from the imperial court?" ”

King Langya sneered: "Lone has no such intention. ”

"There is no best, the unification of the world is the trend of the times, since the Han Dynasty, the world is divided, the war continues, the ancestors unified the world after a short period of stability," Liu Kun said: "I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but for the great peace of the world, I never thought of getting involved in this country, and I also asked the king to focus on the people of the world." ”

Liu Kun is a person with an excellent face, he is very afraid that others will mention that he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty, for fear that the Jin family will think that he has a disobedient heart.

But he cares so much about this matter, isn't it for the sake of national righteousness? For the stability of the world?

Otherwise, in this era when any person can shout as the emperor, as long as he wants to go further, with his bloodline and prestige, he will definitely be able to respond to every call.

But he never thought of doing this, and even took the initiative to prevent the people around him from doing the same.

He hoped that King Langya would let go of his obsession, think more about the people of the world, and give up the idea of splitting the country.

After the Shang and Zhou dynasties, only the Han Dynasty had a unified regime for more than a hundred years, the Qin Dynasty had only two short generations, and the Wei Dynasty was not completely unified, and the Jin Dynasty has only been forty-five years so far.

Liu Kun is shouting allegiance to the Jin family, but he is not a fool, how can he not see that the belonging of this world is between Zhao Hanzhang's thoughts.

If she wants to be the Duke of Cao, then support the little emperor and let Jin extend the country;

If she wants to be Cao Pi, then find an opportunity to replace her;

If it is for the people, in fact, Liu Kun prefers the second type.

Direct change of power, everything is new, and the struggle will be much smaller, and the first one, Cao Gong has used his personal experience to tell future generations that the little emperor will eventually grow up, and when the time comes, the fight between the two sides will not be small, Liu Kun is really tired of changing the emperor every three or five days.

Moreover, although the Sima family can live, they are almost dead, and the little emperor dies again, unless he leaves descendants, there will be a direct cousin who can inherit the throne, and if it goes down, it will really be in the vein of King Langya.

But he couldn't say any of these words, and who made him wear a loyal skin all the time?

But it doesn't matter, just replace Zhao Hanzhang with the little emperor.

Liu Kun praised the little emperor and told King Langya that the emperor was very smart, very smart, extremely smart, and now he followed several great Confucians and great legalists in the court to learn the way of governing the country, and General Zhao also asked hermits from the mountains and wilderness to teach him from time to time;

In addition, he also participated in state politics every day, and General Zhao respected him very much, let him observe every state affairs, and would ask his opinions.

With this accumulation of experience to the crown, he will definitely be able to take over the power from Zhao Hanzhang, so even if it is for the sake of the Great Jin, you should go back to Luoyang to assist the new emperor, instead of separating Jiangnan and making it difficult for the new emperor.

King Langya's whole person was in a trance.

Liu Kui on the side wanted to speak several times and stopped, and wanted to echo, but thinking of his own situation, he swallowed his words back.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, but fortunately, Director Wang arrived.

Liu Kun turned his head to look at Director Wang, and when he saw that his complexion was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I heard that Mao Hong and Yuan Li have a personal relationship?" Do you know where he is now? ”

Director Wang glanced at Queen Langya and said, "He was captured by Wang Dun." ”

Liu Kun frowned, and said to King Langya: "King, although Yuan Li is a brutal general and a villain, the general relies on him a lot, if she knows that Yuan Li was captured by Wang Dun, she will not give up." And you and Wang Dun have not officially broken up, everything he has done, in the eyes of Luoyang, is what you instructed. ”

"So please also ask King Langya to list Wang Dun's charges and officially arrest him."
