Royal Road

Chapter 257: Guard against

In the deep palace of Luoyang City, Sima Tan sat by the ganoderma lucidum pool, looking at the thick green and shallow green in front of him, speechless for a long time. The scenery of the imperial garden is beautiful day by day, just like this Meng Xiaxun wind, with great vitality. But he couldn't feel any comfort, and the chill in his bones was better than a day.

Since last month, there have been a few more palace people around him. This is a woman sent by the Tai Fu Sima Yue to serve him, to teach him about the house curtain. This is a common practice in the palace, when Emperor Hui was thirteen years old, he knew about personnel, and he was served by Xie Jiu, a talented man in the harem of Emperor Wu. It was the same woman who gave birth to the later prince.

He is also thirteen this year. He has just had his first time. If he copulates with those women, can he also give birth to heirs? However, next to Emperor Hui, there is his father taking care of him, how about him? What on earth did Sima Yue send those women for?

He has not been married yet. Deep down in his heart, Sima Tan always knew what he was facing. If he hadn't followed Sima Yue's order back then, he might have been buried in the wilderness. But will that person let himself be married securely and take back the power of government? Perhaps, he will not survive that time at all. Under these circumstances, any child born is nothing but a nail for his coffin. Isn't a baby prince far better than the emperor who is difficult to control?

He can't make these palace men pregnant. The little emperor's hand grabbed his knee involuntarily. The pseudo-emperor has been wiped out by Sima Yue. If it wasn't for the gangsters who made trouble in Yuzhou, preventing him from returning to Luoyang, maybe the guard in Luoyang Palace at this moment has been upgraded to several levels. Now he can reject these palace members on the grounds of convincing the first emperor. After Sima Yue comes back, how long will this reason last?

In the past six months, he also secretly contacted some ministers, but no one knows whether these people are credible and competent. Just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who was imprisoned by Emperor Wei Wu in Xudu, even if there was Dong Cheng, his wife Dong Cheng, who was a general of chariots, he would not be defeated in a complete mess. Couldn't even the cronies around him protect him? But even his wife and concubine are nowhere to be found...

"His Majesty……"

A voice rang in his ears, and Sima Tan regained his senses. Without daring to show the fear in his heart, he slowly raised his head, only to see the little yellow gate serving him standing beside him, whispering: "...Wang Situ, please."

What does Wang Yan want to do? The little emperor suppressed the tiredness, and whispered: "Invite him in."

After a while, the big sleeves fluttered, and the handsome man of Fengshen stepped into the imperial garden. Just looking at the appearance, many people are afraid that he is over fifty years old, and looking at his manners, no one would have expected that this life is so boring. Seeing the smug smile on the other party's face, the little emperor pursed his lips and asked, "Wang Situ has a happy face, but what's the happy event?"

Wang Yan gave a chic hand: "Your Majesty, it's great joy. Yuzhou Wang Mi's tribe was destroyed by General Gou. The rebellion army has no leader, and it will be cleared in a few days!"

what? ! The little emperor gave a thump in his heart, is the chaos going to be put down? Is Sima Yue going back to Luoyang? His lips trembled, and he pulled out a smile: "Thanks to the Taifu's good command. This time, he should be rewarded again..."

This is also the reason why Wang Yan entered the palace, he coughed slightly, he said: "Tao Fu has done his best to destroy the puppet emperor and put down the troubled army. He has really worked hard and can be the mainstay of the country. Become the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty!"

Another prime minister! The little emperor moved his lips: "This is natural..."

Before Wang Yan had finished speaking, he said: "There are also five important towns in Yan, Yu, Si, Ji, and Jing, and they should also be herded by the Taifu."

This is to serve as the state shepherd of the five states? As the prime minister, and then as the state shepherd, what else is he missing except this as a Gun Mian? I'm afraid it's only the status of a superintendent!

The little emperor suppressed his tremor tightly, smiled and nodded: "...I should be sealed."

Seeing the emperor nodded and promised two rewards, Wang Yan also let out a sigh of relief. Recently, he is quite selfish, and he has negotiated for his younger brother Wang Cheng and Cong Wang Dun for the posts of Jingzhou Provincial Governor and Qingzhou Provincial Governor. How can he show his loyalty in front of Sima Yue without trying his best?

But this was not enough, Wang Yan smiled again: "There is still Jizhou, and the military disaster has been reduced. It was the Ningbei general Yiyan who came out to break the siege of Qinghe. Ding Cishi wants to make him a captain."

This is actually not the case. Judging from the military newspaper, Youzhou Wang Jun also spent a lot of effort to suppress the bandits, but Wang Jun, the Taiyuan Wang clan, didn't deal with Wang Yanben very much, and the other party was so powerful, how could he give up all the advantages? On the contrary, the Jie general Yi Yan, played very well, and he had few major generals in his hand. According to Wang Ping, the prefect of Wei Jun, who was sent by him, this man likes officials the most. He has a lot of ambition and is a man who can be attracted. Why don't you add a captain in the west and town Jizhou? Anyway, Sima Yue also led Jizhou Mu, Wang Jun was afraid that he could not yield to the post of captain.

He actually pushed Yiyan? The little emperor had an impression of this Jie Ren. Isn't this Liang Zixi's important minister? Why did he vote for Wang Yan in just a few months? Is there no unshakable loyalty in this world?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and the little emperor was stunned. Yes, he is a righteous emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Although he does not have real power in his hands, he may not be able to use his rich profits and seductive hearts...

"Your Majesty?" Wang Yan didn't wait for an answer, and raised his head with some doubts.

The little emperor woke up and smiled slightly: "It's up to the Taifu to decide."

Unexpectedly, the little emperor actually pushed the decision-making power into Sima Yue's hands, and Wang Yan raised his eyebrows without refuting it. The greater the power Sima holds, he can make a decision with one word. But with his own three-inch tongue, are you afraid to say that he won't move?

Facing the young man who pretended to be calm, Wang Yan smiled and folded his hands: "Your Majesty said that."

In the simple thatched house, a middle-aged man dressed in linen knelt and sat in front of the desk. Paying heavy filial piety to the linen clothes and guarding the Caolu alone, you can see that it is a bereavement for the loved ones. Nowadays, in troubled times, there are really not many people who can behave according to courtesy. After all, with filial piety, the time when you can become an official has long passed. But this person chose to be in the mourning house, which is really amazing.

There is no overwhelming grief on his face, withered and thin. On the contrary, the heroic spirit between the eyebrows, coupled with the tall and straight figure over 40 years old, is even more revealing, bold and courageous.

But at this moment, instead of looking through the books on the desk, he sat in front of the case, thinking about something.

I never thought that if I rejected the post of military service given by Sima Yue and retired to his hometown, someone would come to conquer it. Moreover, it was the provincial governor of Binzhou.

The post of General Manager Shi is also considered a high position. But as far as the official ranks he held in the past, it was a bit low. And Sima Yue shouldn't, why should he start from a state governor?

It's just that the messenger sent by that person, what he said really moved people's minds. Dong Zhengtian, saving the people from water and fire, and demolishing the pseudo-Han...the same, all he expected. Sima Yue invited him on that day, and he was only an official. He was not an important position, so how could he say this? The changes in Bingzhou over the past two years are really surprising. Should this post of long history be appropriated?

After thinking about it for a long time, the man still shook his head. Looking at the situation, Wang Pengzu was afraid that he was going to send his troops south. If Youzhou and Bingzhou are at war, how can he go to work in Bingzhou, a person whose family is in Fanyang? It is a pity that although Wang Jun is powerful, he is not much better than that of Sima. I just don’t know how the one from Binzhou is...

Just thinking about what was going on, someone outside the room suddenly said, "Fifth brother, are you here?"

Hearing that voice, the man frowned: "Taizhi? Please come in."

A young man picked a curtain and walked into the Caolu. When he saw the person before the case, he immediately beamed his eyes and knelt down on the opposite side: "I heard about the people from Binzhou, the five brothers are the long history? Can the five brothers respond?"

Unexpectedly, this clan brother actually asked about this, he shook his head: "The funeral period is not over, so I should refuse it."

Hearing this answer, the young man seemed a little regretful, and sighed: "In this way, I can only go to Jinyang alone."

"Are you going to Jinyang? What are you going to do?"

"Jinyang Chongwenguan has started recruiting talents! I heard that the "Nine Chapters Arithmetic" published by Bingzhou was written by two teaching assistants in Chongwenguan. They are also the direct disciples of Mr. Liu. How could I miss it?! And it's also in the world. It is well-known, and there is also a collection of thousands of books. It is not to be missed! If you can be selected into the Chongwen Museum, what a blessing!" The young man spoke quickly, and his face was flushed with excitement.

Unexpectedly, this clan brother would actually go to Bingzhou because of this, which is really dumbfounding: "But there may be war in Youhe, and it may not be safe to go here..."

Before he finished speaking, the other party categorically interrupted: "It is precisely because of this that we must go quickly! The book is no better than the other, and a fire will disappear. If you can't hear the unheard and know the unknown, why? Not wasting this life?!"

These words silenced the people behind the case. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Taizhi, you are almost at the age of a weak crown. Haven't you thought about your future?"

"Bingzhou has a system discipline, and even the poor can enter the rankings. With my talents, why is it difficult to be an official in Bingzhou?" the young man asked rhetorically.

Binzhou is not the imperial court, where official officials are inferior. However, the words circled around the mouth twice, but they were still unable to speak. What is the use of the Qingliu official of the imperial court now? Sima Yue is deliberately unpredictable, Luoyang undercurrents are raging, where is the place to go? Compared with other states and counties, it is really a rare place to go.

In the end, Zu Ti said: "Going to Bingzhou is not a bad idea. But you have to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and don't get involved in the war."

"Fifth brother, are you really not going?" Zu Taizhi is still a little unwilling. If his clan brother applies for the expropriation and goes to Bingzhou by himself, doesn't he have a backer?

"I said, I still have a house..." Zu Ti raised his hand and stopped the other party's conversation. "But if you enter the merged state, you can tell me about the situation in the state in detail. If it is true that the Tathagatas have said, Ying Peiye It's not impossible."

Hearing what the clan brother said, Zu Taizhi's eyes brightened, and he nodded vigorously: "I will definitely find out for the fifth brother!"
