Sima Daozi sneered: "Brother, isn't the disagreement between you and me over the years over Wang Guobao? Our Sima family has been suppressed by those aristocratic families for so many years, and even the emperors will be abolished and have no dignity.
, so that all the ministers in the court were frightened by his lustful power and did not dare to come out to assist us. Do you know that when I first took office, there was no official in the lobby, and not a single official document was delivered in the past few days.
Deserted? Have you ever experienced the anger of my brother and me sitting alone in the official office all day with nothing to do? It’s just an empty space, and the emperor’s power is empty. After all, my dear brother, you can still accept the shouts of long live the mountain from the courtiers every day, but my brother
I really feel that feeling.”
Sima Yao's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Okay, let's not go over these old scores in front of mother today. It's boring. Xie An is indeed a bit authoritarian, otherwise I wouldn't let you serve as the right servant.
, share his power, but Xie An is at least diligent in state affairs. That Wang Guobao only knows how to be voluptuous and flattering. No one who knows him or is familiar with him can say anything good about him. You are in the company of such a villain.
, is it beneficial to the country?”
Sima Daozi curled his lips in disdain: "Wang Guobao does have some selfish motives, but he is only greedy for money and women, and has no idea about power in the world. On the other hand, Xie An, who is trying to gain fame and reputation outside, pretends to be honest and dedicated to the public.
, but he firmly grasps the power in the court. People in the world only know that there is Mr. Xie, but they don’t know that there is Emperor Sima. What he is greedy for is power, and it is your throne, brother!"
Sima Yao's eyes widened and he said sternly: "King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji, you can't slander and frame an old minister who has made great contributions to the country like this. You can't slander someone like this and cast doubt on a prime minister who has worked hard for the Jin Dynasty for decades."
Li Lingrong said loudly: "That's enough. Do you two brothers want to make your mother angry to death today?!"
Her voice was sharp and her body was trembling. After shouting this sentence, she coughed violently. Several palace maids behind her quickly came up and beat their chests and stamped their feet. Sima Yao and Sima Daozi also knew they had made a mistake and knelt down tightly on the ground.
Dare not say another word.
After a long time, Li Lingrong finally let out a sigh of relief: "You guys, you guys have been like this since I was born. The two brothers have been fighting for my milk and they have been fighting non-stop. Now, I am almost forty years old.
, it’s still the same. I just said that brothers should work together, and you agreed one by one, so why are we quarreling again in the blink of an eye? "
Sima Yao gritted his teeth and raised his head: "It's all the child's fault. Please punish me."
Sima Daozi sighed: "Mom, since I have explained what I said to you today, let's stop hiding it and explain it clearly. I still remember that seven or eight years ago, you called us two brothers here.
Let us work together to take charge of the government and regain the power that the Sima family has lost for decades from the Xie family and other aristocratic families. At that time, the child really wanted to work with the eldest brother to fulfill the mother's wish. Over the years, the child
He also thought that he did this, but for some reason, the eldest brother always couldn't understand the behavior of the child and criticized him. As you can see, the child wanted to use Wang Guobao to restrain Xie An, but it caused such a fierce reaction from the eldest brother. It's really unbelievable.
I know that in the eldest brother’s heart, the child is his brother, or Xie An is!”
Sima Yao couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. If you get close to evil villains, you will only ruin the country's affairs in the end. Mother asked us to take over the power of Jin Dynasty, but she did not say that she wanted to destroy Jin Dynasty."
The world is ruined."
Li Lingrong frowned: "Second brother, what your elder brother said makes sense. Although Xie An is dictatorial, he has his own way of governing the country. Not only is Wang Guobao's ability to govern the country completely different from his, but his reputation is also very bad. This
Dian Niang has also heard a lot in the harem, why do you want to use such a person? Don’t we have other loyal people in Jin Dynasty?"
Sima Daozi sneered: "Mother, it's easy for you to say, what kind of person is Xie An? He was famous all over the world before he came out of the mountain, and the Xie family even made great achievements in welcoming back the jade seal and stopping Huan Wen, and became the leader of the family.
The only person who can compete with him is Wang Tanzhi, who is as famous as Xie An. If this man had not died, Xie An would not have dared to take power. But God forbid our great Jin Dynasty. Wang Tanzhi died young and Xie An had no one.
Restricted and monopolized power, all the officials in the court and all the big and small families did not dare to be enemies with him. Only Wang Tanzhi’s son Wang Guobao had the ability and reputation to fight against Xie An. You really don’t know that the child was
How much work we have done and how many good words we have spoken have made Wang Guobao willing to work on our side."
"The boy also admits that Wang Guobao does have some problems with his character and is greedy for money, but he has no ambition to seize our Sima family. He can use these villains as minions and hawks. With him standing up to fight against the Xie family,
There will be a group of aristocratic families on our side, and there are many talented people among them. For example, Wang Guobao’s younger brother Wang Chen and the brothers from the Yu family are all capable of governing the country. If Wang Guobao had not followed his son, they would have
How dare you come forward to do things for the court and offend Xie An?"
Li Lingrong nodded thoughtfully: "What the second brother said makes sense. Boss, do you have any misunderstandings about the second brother?"
Sima Yao gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, don't listen to what my second brother says. Wang Guobao is not a small greedy person. He openly sells his official position and ranks and colludes with party members. Over the past few years, he has attracted many people around him.
For dozens of large and medium-sized families, official positions in the imperial court have become a means of making profits. You can imagine that those who spend money to buy officials will only become Bengali after they take office in order to recover the money they spent to buy officials.
Exploiting the people. After the officials recommended by Wang Guobao took office, there was almost no public dissatisfaction. If they were allowed to continue like this, the people below would rise up if Xie An did not usurp the throne!
"
Sima Daozi said coldly: "Brother, there is no need to be so scary here. It can't be so serious. In the past few decades, the Jin Dynasty has sent the children of aristocratic families to various places, and there has never been any trouble. Wang Guobao is in Feishui
During the war, people and food were also provided, which is not in vain for the country. Your words are just exaggerated and fabricated by Xie An and his associates in order to attack Wang Guobao and my younger brother Wang Guobao. If it is true
People's dissatisfaction was rising everywhere, so when the Qin army came over, why didn't they take the opportunity to respond?"
Li Lingrong sighed: "That's all, my mother doesn't know about these military and national affairs. As a woman, I can't interfere in politics casually. My only hope is that you two brothers can put aside your prejudices and work together, and don't let outsiders take advantage."
.”
Sima Yao said loudly: "State affairs cannot be ruined by Wang Guobao and his like, so the child must marry Wang Miaoyin and win the support of the Wang and Xie families. Only with their presence can Wang Guobao not go too far. Mother, you now understand the child's
Did you mean it?"
