"General Yao Jun is really humble. You attacked Chen Min in the east and defeated Li Xiong in the west. Heroes of the world, who will not be afraid to hear your name. The world needs people like you to calm down. ”

Yao Yu: "···"

Yang Xianrong turned back to Sima Chi and said: "Your Majesty, General Yao's military achievements are impressive, and this time he has made the merits of King Qin." You can't help but give a reward. Otherwise, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the world? ”

When Sima Chi heard this, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly nodded and bowed to Yang Xianrong: "What the Queen Mother said is very true, and I have also considered it to promote Yao Aiqing to a knighthood." ”

Yang Xianrong suddenly said: "The post of general and army of the central guard of the DPRK is vacant, right?" ”

Sima Chi understood the meaning of Yang Xianrong, and turned around and put on a high-minded appearance at Yao Yu: "Yao Aiqing, what if you are left in the court and served as a guard general?" ”

The corners of Yao Yu's mouth grinned, and he didn't caress Sima Chi's face clearly, but said with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind, how dare Weichen disobey." The ministers listen to Your Majesty in everything. ”

Sure enough, when these words came out, it was enough to give Sima Chi enough face, so that he could have a good time in front of Yang Xianrong.

In this way, the dinner party of the three of the monarchs and ministers lasted until about midnight.

Than Yang Xianrong yawned, Sima Chi got up, reluctantly said goodbye, and led Yao Yu away.

"Your Majesty, General Yao is loyal to the country. It's the first time I've come to Luoyang again. You can arrange him well. I see that there are a lot of spare rooms in the palace, so why don't you let General Yao and Jun live in the palace? ”

Sima Chi immediately clenched his fists: "Obey the will of the Queen Mother." ”

It was Yao Yu who said: "Your Majesty, no, how can Weichen live in the palace." First, as a foreign minister, it is already a great honor to enter Beijing. If you live in the palace. That's just too frustrating. Second, Wechen's subordinates are still waiting for Wechen at the palace gate. You can't let them wait outside the palace gate all the time. ”

Sima Chi waved his hand: "Hey, what is this." Guo Guang. ”

Guo Guangwang took a step forward: "Your Majesty." ”

Sima Chi then instructed: "Go, take my will, go to the palace gate, and bring it to Yao Aiqing's subordinates." ”

Although the rule is that Lu Bi and they can't enter the palace, Sima Chi said so, so where does Guo Guang still mean to stop it?

No, he immediately agreed, and turned away.

Taking advantage of the gap when Guo Guang went to bring Lu Bi and He Xiong in, Sima Chi pulled Yao Yu with a smile undiminished, as close as a brother.

Yao Yu felt a little awkward when he saw this situation, to be honest, if it wasn't for the test of Sima Chi and the civil and military officials in the court, Yao Yu would never have stayed in Luoyang.

Alas, if you want to move the imperial court to Jingzhou in the future, you can only endure it first.

Thinking like this, Yao Yu went against his conscience and pretended to talk to Sima Chi in an intimate manner.

The two chatted, and then talked about the promotion of Yao Yu to the rank of guard general and army tomorrow in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Yao Aiqing, it's not a secret, the court is now controlled by Sima Yue up and down. I, the son of heaven, have done it in name only. But fortunately, there is love for you. As long as you stay in the DPRK as a guard general, then you can play a role in containing Sima Yue. When I rest every day, I can breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Yao Yuxin said that I will give you a face in front of the sheep just now, you are not endless, right, and I will serve in the court.

Please, how can Jingzhou be comfortable in the DPRK.

I am the sky in Jingzhou, and what am I in the imperial court? Every day, he has to wear a mask and make a mistake with those so-called princes and ministers.

When I saw these families, I got angry and asked me to work with them, so I might as well take them away for you now.

Moreover, I don't want to merge with Liu Yuanhuo so early, with Sima Yue to help me block the knife, I still have two or three years of stable development time.

There is this time, I don't accumulate my strength in Jingzhou, but I come to serve in the imperial court, I'm sick.

Thinking angrily in his heart, Yao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your thoughts. Know what you mean, too. However, Weichen has a saying. ”

Sima Chi sighed: "Aiqing, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"That's your majesty, I think if I stay in the court, it will be far less important than my role in Jingzhou."

Sima Chi frowned: "Yao Aiqing, what you said is a bit excessive." Jingzhou is just a remote place, how can it compare to the imperial court? Or are you afraid of being an enemy of Sima Yue? ”

Yao Yuxin said: If your court can have any county under my command, you can bear it.

As for the fear of being an enemy with Sima Yue, Yao Yu smiled.

"Your Majesty, if I was afraid of becoming an enemy of Sima Yue, I wouldn't have taken someone to kill him before. The reason why Wechen said this is very simple. First, if I were in the middle of the court, almost all of the Manchu civil and military forces would be Sima Yue's henchmen. There's very little room for me to play. Moreover, it is easy to be overshadowed by their multi-party alliance. At that time, let alone set things right. It's hard to protect yourself. ”

Sima Chi sighed: "There is more." ”

"There are also Li Xiong and Sima Rui in Jingzhou."

"What happened to them?"

"Your Majesty, if I leave Jingzhou, Li Xiong and Sima Rui will choose to attack Jingzhou. It's not a micro-minister boasting about Haikou. Sima Rui doesn't care, but this Li Xiong, looking at the world, there are few people who are his opponents. However, whether it is Li Xiong or Sima Rui, neither of the two of them can take Jingzhou. ”

"Why? No matter how Sima Rui says, he is also my third emperor ancestor, the descendant of Sima Ling, the king of Langya, and I am even more cousins. ”

"Your Majesty, sometimes blood doesn't say anything. Otherwise, Sima Rui would not have taken refuge in Sima Yue. Voluntarily became his minions. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then there are many vassal kings in the clan, except for the late Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, how many of them are sincere and plan for the imperial court. ”

When Yao Yu said this, Sima Chi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about Yao Yu's words, don't say it, it makes some sense.

No, Sima Chi hesitated: "Then in this case, Aiqing can't stay in the imperial court?" ”

Yao Yu nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, if I stay in the imperial court, I will only be squeezed out by Sima Yue and his minions." But I'm in Jingzhou, it's different. My jurisdiction. Adjacent to Gyeonggi, as long as there is a change in the Gyeonggi area, Wechen can raise an elite northbound Qinwang at any time. Moreover, I am in Jingzhou, and I can also play a role in deterring the Quartet. That Sima Yue considered that the minister was in Jingzhou, and he was naturally afraid of Weichen's troops, so he didn't dare to do anything too out of line. If Weichen stays in the imperial court, it will not be much, he only needs a jailer to capture me, and when the time comes, who else can restrain Sima Yue in this full court? ”
