622 - Prince
"When I first entered the Central Plains, I thought that the heroes of the world were all in the hands of Lonely. But now, Lone realizes that she was wrong. Alone led 100,000 people, and he couldn't crusade against the thief Liu Cong to comfort his ancestors. Under the can't shelter one side to appease the people. Lonely and sad. ”
Taiwei Wang Yan and Situ Fu were both in front of the bed, bursting into tears: "The king must not be arrogant, the people of the world all hope that the king can revive the dynasty and clean up the country." ”
Sima Yue shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "People are self-aware. Lone should have thought of it a long time ago. This Central Plains is not something that can be touched by a lonely person. Nowadays, a solitary solar eclipse is no more than a liter, and drinking water is no more than a pot. Sleepy and seldom awake every day, so, the limit has come, how can we help the community? ”
Jia Yin said next to him: "Your Highness, think twice, if you withdraw to the East China Sea, the Central Plains, there will be no control." ”
Sima Yue waved his hand with all his strength, where did he still want to take power in the Central Plains now.
For him, it would be good to be able to withdraw to the East China Sea alive.
No, he sighed: "The day when manpower will be exhausted, loneliness is no longer extravagant." At the beginning, there were 100,000 sons and daughters who led the king of soldiers, but now, there are no more than 50,000 or 60,000 people in the full. Since Lone brought them out, he was obligated to take them back. The decision has been made, and you don't need to persuade you anymore. Lonely is tired, let Lonely rest. ”
With that, Sima Yue closed his eyes.
Seeing this, everyone was silent.
For the next few days, Sima Yue was no longer on the council, and all the affairs of the company were handed over to his son Sima Bi.
And after learning the news that Sima Yue was going to return to the East China Sea, in Luoyang City, those Sima Yue's allies and ministers, as well as countless clan vassal kings, all dragged their families and rushed over.
As far as they are concerned, if Sima Yue leaves, then there will be no more strength in the Central Plains that can resist Liu Cong's army, and they will stay in Luoyang and only die.
Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to follow Sima Yue back to the East China Sea in advance, although it is far away from the center of the imperial court, but it can also end up a good end.
In addition, the current Luoyang City is not the Luoyang City in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
At this time, Luoyang City was war-torn and had already become dilapidated.
So, in Luoyang City, every day, there were princes and ministers who secretly went to Sima Yue with their families.
Even if Sima Chi learned the news, he couldn't stop him, and no one listened to him.
You let Sima Chi directly use a knife to stop people, and he doesn't have the courage to tear his face with the whole world.
Moreover, if it weren't for the identity of the Son of Heaven, Sima Chi would also want to withdraw to the East China Sea with this Sima Yue.
Yes, I hate Sima Yue, but now only Sima Yue can protect myself.
Although Yao Yu could also protect himself, Sima Chi did not want to go to Yao Yu to defect.
Anyway, Yao Yu was so obedient to himself before, which gave Sima Chi the illusion that Yao Yu was his slave.
Previously, Yao Yu was in Luoyang, and he scolded himself in front of the Manchu Dynasty ministers and tens of thousands of troops, which made Sima Chi a little unable to get off the stage, and when his life was at stake, he would never look for Yao Yu.
However, having said that, how could anyone take the initiative to give up the Son of Heaven in the capital.
This made Sima Chi worry three times a day.
In the end, it was Yang Xianrong who came up with a plan for Sima Chi.
On this day, when Sima Chi of Shangshu Taizhong was considering whether it was better for him to abandon Luoyang and defect to Sima Yue, or to go to Yongzhou to find a hussar general and army, it was more appropriate for Jia Kai of Yongzhou to be pastoral, and Yang Xianrong entered from the outside door.
Seeing the sheep Xianrong, Sima Chi stood up in a panic: "Queen Mother." ”
Don't look at Sima Chi's loss of fertility, but he still hasn't broken off his thief's heart for sheep sacrifices.
He just can't have children, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have that ability.
Yang Xianrong grasped this point, and these days, he has constantly shown favor to Sima Chi, making Sima Chi further believe in himself.
Now, Yang Xianrong saw the opportunity and began the most critical part of Yao Yu's plan.
"Your Majesty plans to give up the city?"
In a word, Sima Chi's face was red and his ears were red.
Looking at the sheep again, he said solemnly: "Since ancient times, can there be a son of heaven who abandoned the capital and fled the city? ”
"The Queen Mother... I...
"Okay, Your Majesty, you don't need to say it, as the Son of Heaven, you should show the backbone of the Son of Heaven."
Guo Guangyi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly walked out and said: "Queen Mother, now that the thieves are powerful, the king of the East China Sea is going to withdraw again." In Luoyang, where there are thousands of remnants, the city is ruined, and the food is scarce. If you stay, there is only one dead end. ”
"That's not a reason to give up the city."
Sima Chi sighed: "Queen Mother, I don't know what you said, why don't I want to stay and live and die with my ancestors." However, when people move the living tree and move the dead, only by leaving a useful body can they wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. ”
Listening to Sima Chi's excuse, Yang Xianrong just felt that he wanted to laugh, is this Sima family like this.
Are they all like this?
But this is good, Sima Chi insisted on leaving, just in time to carry out his plan.
"Your Majesty, who are you going to go to? Jia Kai or Sima Yue? Don't forget, what will happen to you when you leave? ”
Sima Chi was in a dilemma: "Then, what should I do?" ”
Yang Xianrong took a deep breath and said his thoughts: "If Your Majesty really wants to leave, then the mourning family will not stop you." But for the dignity of the court, for the sake of royal face. In the city, there must be one person left. ”
Sima Chi's eyes widened: "Leave one behind?" Who to leave? ”
"Prince."
Sima Chi was annoyed when he heard it, and he still mentioned this stubble, right?
How can there be a prince in the court, my special mother can't have children, you tell me, where did the prince come from?
Seeing that Sima Chi was furious, Yang Xianrong said: "Your Majesty, Sima Ye, the king of Qin, is smart, benevolent and filial, and can be the crown prince." After His Majesty established the King of Qin as the crown prince, he could use the reputation of the parade to defect to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, or to Yongzhou Mu Jia Kai. In this way, it can also prove that the imperial court has not given up the capital, and it can block the mouths of the people in the world, so why not? ”
Sima Chi was stunned for a moment: "Queen Mother, do you mean to let Sima Ye stay in Luoyang for me?" ”
Yang Xianrong asked Sima Chi rhetorically: "Then does Your Majesty have any other better way?" ”
As soon as he said this, Sima Chi hurriedly shook his head.
If I had a good way, I wouldn't be forced to be like this.
No, after a few thoughts, Sima Chi weighed the pros and cons, and also asked Guo Guang's opinion.
Seeing Guo Guang nodding to himself, he made up his mind, and at the same time as announcing Sima Ye's entry into the palace, he issued an edict and made him the crown prince.
Since ancient times, the canonization of the crown prince has not been a matter of one or two sentences, and it is extremely troublesome to do.
Even if Sima Chi was bent on leaving Luoyang, everything was simplified, and the etiquette required to establish the crown prince still delayed him for nearly a month.
