Chapter 149: Above the Court (I)

It was already the third watch, the dawn was about to break in the east, the dawn was coming, and the early birds had begun to chirp around in search of food. Zhang Hua, Wang Rong, Wang Yan, Pei Wei, He Shao, these ministers, or according to high positions, or the government and the opposition are well known, highly respected. Lin Yi spent all night visiting one by one.

And the subordinates of the East Palace, and the pro-prince party in the court, Lin Yi had already arranged for his subordinates to take their tokens and visit them secretly. Especially the old general Zhao Jun, Lin Yi remembered it vividly, and even visited his mansion in person.

Zhao Jun, the middle protector, once said to the crown prince Sima Shu in private: "The intention of the middle palace to harm His Royal Highness is becoming more and more obvious, how can His Highness be restrained and killed." The old minister is willing to help His Highness launch a mutiny, and after the abolition of Jia in Kim Yong City, His Highness will turn the danger into safety. Sima Shu felt that the time was not ripe and could not necessarily succeed, and at that time he was even more obscure, just an excuse to fight for imperial power and depose the queen mother, which was a great rebellion. Therefore, he was politely rejected.

There was another important reason that day, Lin Yi didn't trust this Zhao Jun very much. Although Zhao Jun is Yang Jun's brother-in-law and belongs to Yang Jun's party, but after Yang Jun was exterminated by Empress Jia, he has been taking refuge in the Hou Party since then, and Zhao Cang is Zhao Jun's niece. Therefore, Sima Shu has always wondered if he is deliberately testing him. After more than a year of secret observation, this Zhao Jun is a person who has long been worth believing, it turns out that this Zhao Jun is also a very scheming person, he endured humiliation and secretly lived, and recognized the thief as his father, just to avenge his brother-in-law Yang Jun's family.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, the army was divided into the Chinese army, the foreign army and the state and county soldiers. The Chinese army is directly under the central government, organized into armies and battalions, and is stationed inside and outside the capital in peacetime. The Chinese army stationed in the city is the guard, and the left and right guards are responsible for the palace guards, and the other armies and battalions serve as the palace gates and the capital guards. The Chinese army stationed outside the capital is called the Yamen Army, and there is no mission to guard it. The Chinese military is strong, and it is the most important military strength of the Jin Dynasty.

Foreign troops were stationed in important state towns. It is divided by the governor. In order to strengthen the control of the royal family over the army, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty used the kings of the clan as the governors, went out of the town in all directions, and allowed the kings to place troops, 5,000 people from the three armies of the big country, 3,000 people from the second army of the sub-country, and 1,500 people from the first army of the small country, which became a special part of the foreign army. When Lin Yi conquered Qi Wannian back then, he was an important part of the elite guards of the East Palace, and at that time, Zhang Hua fought for tens of thousands of elites of the Chinese army. The state and county soldiers are local armed forces. After Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty leveled Wu. He ordered the states to abolish the state and county soldiers, and only put military officials, 100 in large counties and 50 in small counties, to maintain law and order. However, in fact, due to the endless wars in various places, the number of soldiers in many local states and counties increased sharply, and the soldiers of states and counties in some border areas who fought with the barbarians all the year round were not even below the Chinese army in the later period.

The highest commander of the army is the governor of the Chinese and foreign military forces. There was a general of the Chinese army (later changed to a lieutenant of the Northern Army). The general commander of the guards, the generals of the left and right guards, the guards of the palace, the generals and captains of the guards, the guards of the palace gate and the capital, and the four guards of the army outside the city. There are also governors of the military forces of the states and generals of levy, town, security, and equality, and the command of foreign armies.

Zhao Jun was the middle guard at this time. He is the most important senior general in the Chinese army, in charge of the selection of military attachés, so although he is not directly in charge of the Su Guard, the large and small officers in the Su Guard are his protégés. With his help. It's really like a tiger with wings, plus Shanyuan is in the palace for the internal response, opening the palace door to welcome the East Palace Silver Armor Rider. At this time, it happened suddenly, and the party of Empress Jia was caught off guard, this mutiny can definitely control Emperor Hui and Empress Jia, and if they control them, they will control the imperial court, and this mutiny will be regarded as a basic success.

If you follow Lin Yi's previous character, this is definitely the case. But since Sima Gan and Zhang Hua got so much information behind this, especially Zhang Hua's teachings have always deeply touched the depths of his soul. Lin Yi finally decided to salute first and then soldier, he couldn't start a mutiny to seize the precedent of the abolition of the emperor, after all, the enemy of this Great Jin Dynasty was not as simple as it seemed. Even if it is successful, it is inevitable to leave stains in this life, just like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, before remembering the rule of Zhenguan, the first thing that future generations think of is the change of Xuanwumen, brothers in the same room, and blood on the spot.

......

"There is a book to play, nothing to retreat from!" the eunuch behind Sima Zhen ripped open and shouted. Sima Zhen is still sleepy-eyed, but this is the rule set by the ancestors, the fifth watch of the heavenly court, he can't hide no matter what, fortunately, his virtuous queen Jia Nanfeng will help him deal with government affairs, he just needs to sit quietly and wait for the dynasty to disperse.

"The old minister has a book to play!" In the main hall, an old voice sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and everyone found out that it was the old prince Sima Gan, and Sima Gan, the king of the plains, was seriously ill, so the first emperor and Emperor Hui not only issued a special edict, allowing him not to seal the country but to stay in Luoyang City as an official, but also specially approved to allow him not to go to court. He is not only in the court today, everyone is already very curious, and looking at it, it seems that there is an important situation to report, I don't know what the problem is, everyone is hurriedly engrossed and listened attentively, while Zhang Hua, Wang Rong, Wang Yan, He Shao, Pei Wei and other ministers are very natural, disapproving.

"Please come forward and play!" Sima Zhen was also very curious, what important things did he have to play for his imperial uncle who had never asked about the world, and he was impatient to go to the palace to start the first thing today. However, looking at his body, it is not as rumored by the outside world, his spirit is bright, his voice is like a bell, and he looks a little sick. Therefore, without waiting for the man beside him to speak, he impatiently called Sima Gan.

Sima Shu, the former prince of Huaihuai, has already been found, and he returned to Luoyang unharmed, please give an edict to restore Sima Shu as the crown prince!" Sima Gan gave a big salute to him, and then shouted loudly. The sound immediately spread to every corner of the palace, and the hall suddenly became lively like a vegetable market, without the slightest royal majesty.

"What? Shamen is not dead yet, it's really good, where is he, why didn't he come to see me!" Sima Zhen was also very surprised, although he was born an idiot, his IQ is not high, and he can't be the master of national affairs, but he still understands the same basic truth, this Sima Shu is his son and the heir to the throne, so he left, he was still sad for a few days, and specially built a Sizi platform, and at this moment, this son who has been dead for nearly a year suddenly came back to life, how can he not be excited. Therefore, it is simply a conditional launch, and he asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness is because you have been conspired by villains all the way, at this moment you are a grass people who have no identity, and you can't enter the palace to meet Your Majesty and the Queen, when you find this king's mansion last night, it is already the middle of the night, and this king is not too sure of his identity, and after confirming his identity early this morning, this is the fast horse report!" Sima Gan replied. He had already discussed the plot with Lin Yi, just follow the script.

But seeing that Na Jia was dark, his face was tight, and his face became even more hideous, and he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that the old king of the plains is dizzy, or he misses the prince too much, so he is dazzled." Prince Huai was obviously killed by the rebels ten months ago, and the body was also identified by many female relatives in the East Palace, and His Majesty and the palace were also verified on the spot, so the coffin was closed, and a state funeral was held for him, and the whole country mourned for three days.

As soon as Jia Hou's voice fell, Jia Mi had already followed closely and said: "Please Your Majesty, it is a great misfortune for the country to cherish the death of the crown prince, and the government and the opposition are crying bitterly. Thinking that this time is a daring scoundrel in this world, he has captured the heart of this majesty's thoughts, and he is not afraid of the crime of bullying the king and the punishment of extermination, and he wants to seek a great blessing!"

Jia Mi has lived a very chic life in the past year, not only has he been rising step by step in his career, he is young, he has just passed the weak crown, and he has served in the service and received the secret superintendent. What made him even more excited was that the person he hated very much, that is, his biggest competitor, had died in a foreign land, although he was dead and could not see his body, but he had been missing for so long, which was enough to oust him. Now that his own brother has become the crown prince, he fantasizes that one day he will poison this idiot to death, and then the orphan and widow, isn't this world his Jia Mi? However, it doesn't matter, since you are alive, let you die again. When he was still in the position of the crown prince, he was forced to go away, and now he is just a penniless grass people, even if he defected to the king of the plains, he thought he could turn the sky upside down?

Shi Chong, Pan Yue and other Jia Mi's doglegs were already impatiently waiting, and when they saw Jia Hou and Jia Mi finally speaking, they hurriedly followed the performance, "This must be someone who looks similar to the prince, and by chance found one or two tokens around the prince, he dared to pretend to be the prince, he was really bold, and dared to offend the royal majesty so much, please Your Majesty must be severely punished to set an example." ”

Those ministers who have always been close to the original East Palace and do not want this Jia Hou party to dominate are also arguing on the basis of reason, and there is already a quarrel in the court.

"Without His Majesty's approval, the old minister will not be able to bring Sima Shu into the palace at all. Sima Shu is now in the palace of this king, please ask Your Majesty to play it, this king will send someone to bring it quickly, and identify it on the spot in the main hall, you can recognize it!"

"Therefore, the crown princess and the crown princess's concubine Jiang Jun are also in Luoyang City, and there is no one in the world who is most intimate and familiar with the prince than the two of them.

Sima Zhen was already impatient to see his own son, and besides, the demands of Sima Gan and Wang Yan were reasonable and virtuous, and Jia Mi and his comrades could not object.

A moment later, a team of Rong armored soldiers galloped out of the palace quickly, the horses were unmixed, with neat and powerful steps, and the white flags fluttered, which was really going to the palace of Sima Gan, the king of the southern plain of Luoyang City. At the same time, at the right side of the palace, several black-clothed eunuchs also left the palace quickly on fast horses. (To be continued......)
