Shu Yan, Xiao Mo, and Zhixin followed Ye Meng and his party to Luoyang. Sima Lun was overjoyed to see that Shu Yan was really back, and heard that while he was chasing Xiao Mo, he inadvertently appeased the Baima Qiang clan, which was a good thing for the imperial court, and he couldn't help but look down on him even more. Sure enough, Shu Yan was restored to Shang Shulang's position, and Shi Hui was ordered to re-evaluate his authentic products. Xiao Mo and Zhixin did not accept the resumption, and Sima Lun did not force it, so he let it be.

From the beginning of his entry into the office, he was rated as a five-grade by Ji Si, and for many years, although Shu Yan has made many achievements, he has never been promoted in the slightest, and even in the latest evaluation, he was demoted to a six-grade grade. The reason why Shi Hui derogated Shu Yan so much was because of the social atmosphere of "the upper grade has no poor family, and the lower grade has no scholars", and on the other hand, it was also to maintain that his son could suppress him. If no one intervenes, Shu Yan's hometown products will always be a few grades worse than Biyu. But now, with Sima Lun's obstruction, although Shi Hui was full of reluctance, he had no choice but to take out Shu Yan's previous evaluation materials and think about how to evaluate them.

Sima Lun did not explicitly ask to set Shu Yan as a few grades, but since he intended to promote and reuse him, he must not be low. Now Shu Yan's grade is the sixth grade, if he is promoted to the fifth grade or the fourth grade, I am afraid that Sima Lun will be unhappy. If you want to please Sima Lun, it is most appropriate to rate it as a third grade. In fact, if it is a fair and just evaluation, how can Shu Yan stop at three products? Now Sima Lun is the actual emperor in the court, covering the sky with one hand, and he still knows the current affairs. He held the pen and hesitated reluctantly for a long time, but finally settled on the third grade.

Shu Yan works in Shangshutai every day. is also Shang Shulang's position, but now he does not have the spring breeze and ambition when he first entered the office, and there is always an invisible scar in his heart. Today's government is not only more corrupt than when Emperor Wu was in power, but also lifeless, so that Shu Yan can't see any hope. In particular, Sima Lun's increasingly revealing domineering and domineering made him even more worried.

On this day, Shu Yan was on duty in Shangshutai, and Sima Lun and his favorite retainer Sun Xiu walked in. Shu Yan hurriedly saluted.

Sima Lun actually sat down on the upper seat, ordered Shu Yan to get up, and then asked unhurriedly: "Shu Lang, after many years, you are back in this Shangshutai now, how do you feel?" ”

"Shu Yancheng is sincerely afraid, thank you for the cultivation of the king, and he will do his best to serve the court." Shu Yan knew that he could have the glory of this time, it was completely Sima Lun's hand, no matter how arrogant he was, in his heart, he should still be grateful.

Sima Lun smiled and nodded: "This is just the beginning, this king is optimistic about you, and has ordered you to reconsider your hometown products." With the care of this king, your hometown products will be exceptionally improved, as long as the hometown products are mentioned, your future will be limitless. ”

Sun Xiu accosted him in a weird manner beside him: "What kind of position is Shang Shulang?" I don't know how much more beautiful than watching the carriages and horses in the Taifu Temple! Not only that, but the king will greatly promote you. As long as you obediently listen to the king's words and follow the king faithfully, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. ”

Although King Zhao classified himself as a pro-party and did not treat himself as an outsider, Shu Yan heard that he had ulterior motives and was very unpleasant.

Sima Lun's decision to reinstate Shu Yan was completely in the preparation for the rebellion by reserving talents. Because he had learned Shu Yan's uprightness, he knew that he would not easily defect, so he promised him a career and a future to win him over, thinking that a poor boy who had been excluded would definitely succumb to this. I came here today to try Shu Yan and see if my method is good or not.

"Shu Lang, you immediately draw up an edict." Sima Lun ordered.

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment: "What edict is you going to propose?" But is there any edict to be issued? ”

"Exactly."

"If the emperor wants to issue an edict, he must pass on the ministers to see it in person, or order the Huangmen squire to pass on the edict in person." Shu Yan guessed Sima Lun's intentions, but deliberately replied without opening his mind.

Sun Xiu smiled: "It's the king who wants to issue an edict, what's the matter with the emperor?" ”

"That's a strange thing." Shu Yan said unyieldingly, "The edict can only be issued by the emperor, and no one else has this right!" ”

"Y-you're playing dumb or don't you really understand?" Sima Lun said angrily.

"Shu Yan didn't know what the king meant by this, he only knew that Shang Shutai could only obey the emperor's orders alone." Shu Yan's little Lang official, in the face of the coercion of the top ministers of the imperial family, nobles, relatives, but he had no intention of surrendering.

Sima Lun took a lot of effort to win over Shu Yan, hoping that he could be used for himself, but who knew that he was so ignorant. I can't help but be angry, and I want to get angry. 33

Sun Xiu is a scheming person, he feels that he has done so much to Shu Yan, and it is a pity to give up so easily, so he smiled and said to Shu Yan: "I know that you are a loyal person, so let me ask you first, what do you think of the current emperor?" Is it worthy of the position of the Son of Heaven who rules the four seas? ”

Of course, Shu Yan knew that with Sima Xin's dull material, it was not qualified to be a cultivator and woodcutter, let alone a heavenly pilgrim who ruled the four seas? Everyone in the world thinks it's ridiculous for Sima Cheng to be the emperor, but history has made such a choice, what else can it do? He was a little late, and then said: "General Sun's question is terrible, it is a great crime of disrespect to discuss the rights and wrongs of the emperor privately, and as a courtier, you don't dare to comment on it." ”

Sun Xiu saw that Shu Yan did not follow the path he led, so he could only say bluntly: "What the emperor is like today, the world knows, and it is not a secret. How many ridiculous things have happened since he ascended the throne. Just the day before yesterday, there was a famine in a state and county, and the people died of hunger, and His Majesty actually said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" ”

Shu Yan has also heard of this joke, and it is really ridiculous. But he can only be secretly helpless in his heart, and never preaches it everywhere.

"Your Majesty is indeed not smart, but because of this, we as courtiers should be more attentive to assist, right?"

Sun Xiu sneered and shook his head: "This is a bad statement. Today, His Majesty is Adou who can't be helped. With such a son of heaven, it is really the misfortune of my Great Jin, how can it go on like this for a long time? Today, it is fortunate that there is Prime Minister Zhao Wang. If I can replace him, it can be regarded as the best explanation to the ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Shu Yan was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that Sun Xiu would say such a rebellious thing so bluntly. He pointed at Sun Xiu in fear, and under the excitement, his words were a little unfluent: "This is about your net worth and life, you take it back quickly, I just didn't hear it!" ”

Sima Lun suddenly laughed, not only did he not blame Sun Xiu for restraining himself, but continued even more explicitly: "Although the Great Jin Dynasty is the nephew of the Lonely Emperor, Sima Yan, who inherited the mandate of Heaven and received Zen from Cao Wei, the founder of the foundation is Emperor Xuan, the father of the Lonely Emperor. At the beginning of his old man's foundation, he was so eloquent and strategic, defending Cao Cao, fighting Zhuge and fighting Cao Shuang, and truly nine deaths and a lifetime, laying a solid foundation for future generations. It can be said that if there was no father, there would be no Great Jin at all. When his father was dying, it was passed on to the eldest brother Jingdi, because Emperor Jing had no heirs, and it was passed on to Emperor Wen, the elder brother of Guzhong, and Emperor Wen was passed on to his son Emperor Wu. How difficult it is to think that the lonely father king opened a foundation, but it is a pity that in this generation, it is passed on to an idiot. This world was originally earned by the lonely father, passed down to three generations and four emperors, and this great-grandson sat in the world. This idiot can sit in the world, and as the biological son of Emperor Xuan, isn't he more qualified than him? ”

The fierce wording of the master and slave seems to have some truth at first glance. Shu Yan did not interject in the middle to refute a word. Sima Lun thought that Shu Yan was persuaded, but Shu Yan did not interrupt him out of politeness and the dignity of his imperial uncle, and as soon as Sima Lun finished speaking, he said proudly: "It is true that the Great Jin Dynasty was founded by Emperor Xuan, and it is also true that His Majesty is not smart today, but this does not mean that you can be qualified to replace the king." Since ancient times, the princes of the Son of Heaven have followed the principle of 'establishing a successor and not establishing a virtuous'. The throne can only be inherited by the descendants of the great descendants of the lineage. His Majesty is not sensitive, but he is the most legitimate heir. It is indeed a great disadvantage to establish a long and not a virtuous person, but it can curb the competition for the throne of the princes to the greatest extent. If this principle is not followed, it will inevitably lead to a scene where the ministers stand in line and the royal family brothers meet each other, and they will kill each other, and the consequences will be even worse. The fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty is the most typical example. Even if you take a step back, even if Your Majesty is really unable to govern today, it is necessary to determine the heir to the throne according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, and it must be given priority from the heirs of the former Emperor Wu, and when there is no choice but to do so, you will not be able to jump out of the category of heirs of this line handed down by Emperor Wen. Although the king is the son of Emperor Xuan, he is only a concubine, let alone a major sect, and has no chance to be on the throne at all. If, as the king said and thought, his own son is more qualified to take over the throne than his grandson and great-grandson, then King Liang is also the son of Emperor Xuan, and he ranks before the king, and is the brother of the king, isn't he more qualified than the king? ”

Sima Lun's sinister and shameless heart was finally defeated by Shu Yan's awe-inspiring justice. This response was neither humble nor arrogant, but also sonorous and powerful, which stunned Sima Lun and Sun Xiu speechless, and immediately got up angrily and left. Now they have thoroughly seen through Shu Yan's temperament and know that he can't be used for themselves. wasted a lot of scheming, gritted his teeth with hatred, and secretly looked for suspicions to cure Shu Yan's crimes.

There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. Shu Yan knew that even if he followed the rules, he would not be able to prevent Sima Lun's framing at all. This time he came back to Luoyang, and through his own observation and the words and rumors of the people around him, Shu Yan had already felt Sima Lun's bad vision. Through several personal contacts, his words and deeds revealed such information to himself, consciously or unconsciously. However, with the power of his own ants, he can't change any movement at all. But you can't help the abuse! That's the only thing he can do and has to do.

From the day he came to Luoyang, Shu Yan was ready to resign again. There is no need to hesitate, just today, he finished handling the affairs at hand and got up to ask for his resignation from his boss Shang Shuling.

Some people died, but not completely......
