Sima Yan's camp:

Sima Yan did not wait for the reinforcements sent by Sima Zhao, but waited for another news, Sima Zhao sent an old family member in the Jin Palace.

"King Chitose of Jin felt that his health was deteriorating, worried that the deadline was approaching, and he was worried that this matter would be known by Cao Wei's old ministers and cause turmoil in the court, so he would send the old slave to come and ask the marquis to take Lord Hao Yi back to Beijing with the old slave as soon as possible to discuss the inheritance of the title." The old family said to Sima Yan and presented Sima Zhao's handwritten letter.

Sima Yan stomped his feet.

"My father is seriously ill, and Benhou should return to Beijing immediately, but this Shu Han has not been destroyed, which is really regrettable."

"The marquis still returns to Beijing with the old slave first, and after inheriting the title of King of Jin, it is not too late to raise troops to recruit again."

"What the old man said is reasonable, the marquis still has to take the title of King Jin as the priority." Hao Yi also said, "According to the villain's opinion, General Zhong Tian is asked to retreat to Chen Canggu Road to prevent the Shu army from taking the opportunity to attack." The villain went back with Hou Ye, and after everything was done, he sent another person to assist General Zhong Tian and took the lost land of Shu Han in one fell swoop. ”

Sima Yan was still a little hesitant.

"Master Hou should also beware of the return of Yicheng Hou to Beijing." Hao Yi said to Sima Yan in a timely manner.

Sima Yan was taken aback.

I didn't get the news that Sima Banru was dead, if this guy really returned to Beijing and arrived before his father's death, wouldn't he have to lose the title of King of Jin in vain?

"Pass the order and return to Beijing as soon as possible." Sima Yan commanded decisively.

Cao Wei Beijing Luoyang:

"King Chitose Jun of Jin, from now on, all adults need to close their doors and reflect on themselves for ten days, during which they are not allowed to go out, and after ten days they will go to the Jin Palace's mansion to discuss major matters. If there is any disobedience, it will be punished as treason. ”

An attendant in the palace stood in front of the palace gate with the so-called Jun decree signed by Sima Zhao himself, and said loudly to the ministers of Cao Wei who had just walked out of the court.

The ministers did not understand for a moment what was happening.

Just now, the little emperor Cao Huan, who had not long succeeded to the throne, cried fiercely in the court, aggrieved as if someone had snatched his favorite fruit.

There was no shortage of ministers who secretly wiped their tears, but none of them dared to come forward and ask why.

Everyone's heart knows that seven or eight out of ten of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been bought by Sima Zhao, and the forbidden troops around the palace, and even the warriors on duty in front of the palace are all cronies of the Sima family.

Now, when such a decree was suddenly received, it is no wonder that everyone's hearts are full of ups and downs, and they don't know what kind of big thing is going to happen to the head of an unlucky person.

"The villain and others will obey the decree of King Jun of Jin." Master Taifu Zhong Xuan, who was already in an old state of Dragon Bell, first said loudly.

Then, there was a submissive voice.

The chamberlain put away the white ayako, and his gaze slid over everyone's faces.

"Where is Lord Lu Yong?"

Among the ministers, a middle-aged man in a green official uniform shook subconsciously, as if he suddenly heard a call from hell, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Everyone's eyes were on him.

The chamberlain also saw Lord Lu Yong in the crowd.

"Lord Lu Yong, please wait a while, the King of Jin has an order to let you go back to the house with the villain, and the King of Jin Chitose has important matters to discuss with you."

"The lower and lower officials will obey the decree of King Jun of Jin." Lu Yong's face was a little pale, and he was so nervous that he was sweating through his clothes.

Not only him, but almost everyone was pinching a cold sweat for themselves, and they couldn't guess what Sima Zhao wanted everyone to introspect about?

Zhongshu Ling, which was already considered a very high grade in Cao Wei's official position at that time, was definitely a heavyweight existence after removing those miscellaneous additional official positions. However, since the dictatorship of the Sima clan, almost all official positions have become dispensable add-ons, not to mention the Zhongshu Order, even if it is a Taifu like Zhong Xuan, he must be called by the Sima clan.

Of course, Zhong Xuan is now old and unbearable, and he knows that he is no longer able to serve the imperial court, so he lives in the mansion, does not ask about the world, and puts on a posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai regardless of the wind and waves.

Lu Yong was different, he was involved in the original heir dispute almost without knowing it.

For this matter, one of his personal concubines is to blame.

The concubine's name was Chunxiang, and it was said that a local official spent a lot of money to buy a child bride from an ordinary family.

Although this Chunxiang was born in a peasant family, there is no shadow of a peasant family on her body, but it is more of a very unique coquettish atmosphere, among the many female relatives in the house, her difference quickly attracted Lu Yong's attention, and it didn't take long for her to be placed by her side as a concubine.

Although she is a lowly-class concubine, this Chunxiang has become Lu Yong's favorite concubine in a few days with her appearance and dedication to Lu Yong.

Unlike other women, Haruka has a little willfulness without fetters. is probably this kind of little willfulness, plus she is usually spoiled too much by Lu Yong, so when she suddenly showed many treasures given to her by Sima Banru that day, it really scared Lu Yong so much that she almost peed her pants.

He knew that Sima Banru gave Chunxiang these things to help him eliminate dissidents at a critical time, and then defeat Sima Yan and become the king of Jin.

knew that he had been passively pushed into the wrong queue, but Lu Yong had words of suffering.

Fortunately, he knows how to play the side ball, and knows how to walk smoothly on this crumbling wire rope, and at the same time, he also knows that there are definitely not a few people in the court who have encountered such as him, but everyone is afraid to say it.

Now, Sima Zhao ordered everyone to introspect at home for ten days, what exactly should they introspect, maybe even Sima Zhao has not thought about it, but Lu Yong guessed that it must be related to the future title of King of Jin, or it is also related to the bitter cry of Cao Huan, the emperor in the court just now.

"Haruka hurts me!" Lu Yong scolded Chunxiang fiercely in his heart.

"Everyone, please go back to the house immediately and close your door to introspect, and the villain will also go back to the house to report to King Chitose of Jin." The waiter said, and before everyone dispersed, he had already climbed into a carriage, and looked back at Lu Yong, "Is Lord Lu Yong willing to ride in the same car with the villain?" ”

Lu Yong hurriedly waved his hand.

"The lower officials have their own vehicles, and they dare not work the people in the palace."

The chamberlain smiled and urged the carriage to leave.

Everyone's eyes shot at Lu Yong again.

Lu Yong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, arched his hand and said, "Adults go slowly, villains take the first step." ”

The crowd gave up.

The car stopped in front of the gate of Sima Zhao's Jin Palace, where the attendant who had delivered the decree just now was waiting.

"Lord Lu Yong doesn't need to be nervous, King Chitose of Jin is looking for you because ......" The chamberlain suddenly stopped, and then immediately said, "Lord Chitose is waiting for Lord Lu Yong in the dormitory, please go with the villain." ”

Lu Yong wanted to ask what was going on, but looking at the waiter's appearance, he swallowed back the words. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it can only be listened to until now.

Sima Zhao even dared to stab the original emperor Cao Chao to death in the street, not to mention a small Chinese book order of his own?

Having said that, the cold sweat was still grabbed from his forehead by a lot.
