When Sima Yao said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhi Miaoyin's peerless face, wanting to capture her true thoughts from any subtle change in her expression.
However, there was no change in Zhi Miaoyin's expression. She was as calm as that puddle of autumn water, without a trace of wind blowing by. She slowly opened her eyes, looked at Sima Yao, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, poor nun
I have told you since I had my hair cut off that the former Wang Miaoyin is dead, and her love for Liu Yu has also gone with her. Now Zhi Miaoyin in this world is completely loyal to His Majesty, and everything will only be planned for His Majesty.
Including pretending to cater to the King of Kuaiji, all of them are following your will. Does your Majesty also have doubts about this?"
Sima Yao gritted his teeth: "Of course I believe what you said, but after all, you refused to be my queen. Sometimes I have been wondering if it is because you have lingering feelings for Liu Yu that..."
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "Your Majesty, the poor nun has said this many times, that terrible organization that framed our family and secretly controlled your country, those conspirators hiding in the shadows and darkness.
If I don't get rid of it, even if I marry you, it will be the fate of the former Queen Wang Fahui. I don't want to be killed in the palace like that, so it is best for you to help you outside as a wonderful voice now.
Beneficial things. Don’t you know what the poor nun has done for you over the years?”
A trace of shame flashed across Sima Yao's face: "I'm sorry, Miaoyin, it's my fault. Please don't take it to heart because of your random thoughts. However, what Wang Gong said just now was very clear, and Liu Laozhi even bluntly said that Liu Yu was uncontrollable.
You said Liu Yu would stand on my side and contribute to the country, why don't they think so?"
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Liu Yu will definitely serve the country. I have never doubted this. But what the two adults just said is correct. To be precise, Liu Yu has his own judgment. He is not a cold puppet. He
I will sacrifice my life and blood for Your Majesty's great cause of the Northern Expedition, and I will also fight for Your Majesty's rebellious officials and traitors, but I will never, like the Governor Wang, take the initiative to send troops to the capital to Qing Jun's side, triggering a civil war."
Sima Yao sneered: "Then you still refuse to work for me. The most important enemy of the country now is the rebellious officials and traitors such as Wang Guobao supported by King Kuaiji. They accept bribes, form cliques for personal gain, corrupt the government, and even the conspiracies you mentioned.
Family, it is very likely that they are involved. I can't wait for their evidence to be conclusive before taking action. If you want your minister to die, I have to die. At that time, I only need to issue an edict to ask the governor Wang and the governor Yin to bring troops to the capital to kill these thieves.
Just capture them all and kill them."
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "If it's so simple, why let foreign soldiers enter the capital? Your Majesty can't you order the soldiers in Jiankang to do these things?"
Sima Yao was speechless for a moment. After a while, he shook his head and said, "You know that the troops and horses in the capital are in the hands of Wang Guobao and Wang Xu, and I can't mobilize them."
Zhi Miaoyin said seriously: "Since ancient times, foreign troops entering the capital have been the source of chaos. It is impossible to distinguish the authenticity of your edict. Wang Guobao and the others can be said to be a fake edict. If His Majesty publicly issues an edict, they may jump over the wall and attack in advance.
Control Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty has thought about this."
Sima Yao said angrily: "They dare! I am the emperor, and I will never succumb to villains like them. Even if I am struck by a sword, I will never be a puppet like Emperor Xian of Han!"
Zhi Miaoyin said calmly: "Your Majesty has a gentlemanly demeanor that would rather break than bend, which I admire, but a small impatience will ruin the big plan. Think about the previous dynasty, Cao Mao also preferred death to surrender, and even sent out the palace guards to attack the late emperor. But what was the result?
It’s not that he was defeated and died, and the country changed hands in the end. Your Majesty has endured for so many years in order to regain the power. Seeing that hope is now in front of you, why are you still taking such a gamble?"
Sima Yao's face, which was flushed with excitement just now, calmed down a little. He nodded: "You are right, I was impulsive. However, since the guards and horses did not obey my orders, and the foreign soldiers were far away for a while,
Water can't put out fire, so I can't just sneak out of the capital and go to the outer vassal to call on the world's soldiers and horses. Now I'm watching so closely. If it weren't for the excuse of watching the fight this time, I wouldn't be able to come to Pengcheng.
"
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "So at this time, Liu Yu's value is reflected. This is a solution that the poor nun came up with after thinking over and over again. Only he can save His Majesty from danger!"
Sima Yao's spirit perked up: "What do you mean, do you want Liu Yu to come to guard the capital and protect me?"
Zhi Miaoyin said sternly: "Yes, Liu Yu will never fight a civil war, because once the civil war starts, all life will be devastated, and he is afraid that he will no longer have the strength to go to the Northern Expedition. But he is loyal to the Jin Dynasty. If he is allowed to take people who are willing to follow him to Luoyang
Brothers in life and death will guard the capital together to protect His Majesty. He will not hesitate to die. With warriors like Liu Yuhe here, responsible for the internal defense of the palace, even with thousands of troops and horses, it will be difficult to capture it at once. This is true in the Battle of Luoyang
, which has been proven in many previous battles.”
"If Your Majesty issues an edict to investigate traitors, and these traitors jump over the wall and want to raise troops to threaten Your Majesty, then with Liu Yu here, the defense of the palace will be safe. When the news comes out that someone is besieging Your Majesty, then the Governor and others will mobilize troops to rescue him.
, even if it is a matter of course, without any manual edict, it will not cause local civil strife anymore. In this way, it will be a long-term peace and stability strategy!"
Sima Yao's brows gradually relaxed, and a smile broke out on his dark face, but there was still a trace of doubt: "But, will Liu Yu really be loyal to me? In any case, after all, it was me who issued the edict.
The fall of the Xie family also caused him to lose his support. After all, it was I who ordered him to fight in the fighting field, and he and Murong Lan finally became husband and wife. If Murong Chui ordered him to assassinate me, who can save him? This is tantamount to
Let me put my life in his hands."
Zhi Miaoyin shook his head: "Liu Yu is a loyal person. There is no doubt about this. If he really only wanted glory and wealth, he would have served in the Yan Kingdom long ago. Although this man abandoned Wang Miaoyin, I know very well that he
His daring loyalty to the Jin Dynasty has never changed. If His Majesty can pardon him on the fighting field, he will be his benefactor again just like Xie Xianggong back then. He will definitely be repaid with death. Liu Yusu Wei
In the capital, Your Majesty can safely issue an edict to investigate the various crimes of Wang Guobao's party. First, cut off the branches and followers, and finally get rid of the big traitors. The world can be cleansed. While tracing the children of these aristocratic families, their fields will be confiscated.
, when the tenant farmers return to state ownership, your majesty will have money, food, and soldiers, and can formally control the power of the world. At that time, your majesty can purge the traitors internally, attack the barbarians externally, and with Liu Yu as the commander, the Northern Expedition will be successful!". Website
