Thirty miles away from Taipei, there is a manor built by mountains and rivers. It looks unremarkable, but there are several luxurious carriages parked at the door of the manor, and hundreds of men in black wearing swords beside the carriages.
The guards showed the identity of the visitors in this manor. King Sima Daozi of Kuaiji and Shangshu Ling Wang Guobao, two of the most powerful people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, were talking secretly in this private manor.
In the center of the manor, on a rockery in a lake, in an exquisite pavilion, Sima Daozi, Sima Yuanxian and his son sat next to each other, while Wang Guobao changed into fine silk and satin clothes and stood aside respectfully with his hands lowered.
Sima Daozi looked at the rippling ripples in the center of the lake and sighed: "It seems that Brother Huang is going to be serious this time, but I'm still very strange, how did Liu Yu know about the Mafia, and he said that he has been doing it for so many years
Are you fighting them?"
Wang Guobao said seriously: "The mafia is not so easy to deal with. When they came to me, I knew how terrifying their power was. If they hadn't helped, how could I have helped the prince to bring down Xie An?"
Woolen cloth."
Sima Daozi curled up his lips: "But isn't Xie An that Xuanwu from the mafia? What do they mean, internal strife among themselves?"
Wang Guobao nodded: "Exactly, Xie An is Xuanwu, but he only seeks personal gain for the Xie family. This is the reason why the mafia found me, the son-in-law of the Xie family, to fight back against Xuanwu. Of course, I didn't know that Xuanwu was Xuanwu at the time.
An, I didn’t know the news until after the Northern Expedition failed in Yecheng. When I first heard about it, I was just like the prince now, too shocked to believe it."
Sima Daozi sneered and said: "Xuanwu is dead, and this time Qinglong Xichao is also finished. I think this mafia has suffered consecutive defeats, which is nothing special. Why don't we make friends with Liu Yu and eradicate them completely? Such power is not enough
Are you going to take back all of our Sima clan’s royal family?”
Sima Yuanxian shook his head: "Father, you must not do it. If this happens, the mafia's century-old accumulation will be in the hands of the emperor, and we will be completely finished. Once the emperor has land, housing, money and food,
He will be able to control his own army. When Liu Yu and other Beifu sergeants are used as generals to control this army, we will die without a burial place."
Sima Daozi's expression changed: "Is it so serious? Although we fight for power, we are brothers after all. He only has me as his younger brother. Is it possible that he really relies on outsiders instead of me?"
Sima Yuanxian sighed: "But my father is also the person most qualified to succeed him as the throne. Other outsiders are not named Sima."
Sima Daozi's mouth suddenly opened wide and he could not speak, and cold sweat began to break out on his head. After a long time, he sighed: "Then, then I will go to the queen mother and ask her to mediate. I will go out and be appointed as a governor and bow to him."
Isn’t it okay to just give in?”
Wang Guobao sneered and said: "My lord, you have been fighting with the emperor for so many years, and it has become a fire and water. Everything in this world can be shared, but this power cannot be shared. In the past, the emperor could give you some face, because he himself also
He has never really grasped power. When fighting you, he must also guard against those high-ranking families taking the opportunity to evade the imperial power again, so he has room for it. But this time, he wants to take over the real power from the hands of the high-ranking families and the mafia.
, for this reason, we will not hesitate to protect Liu Yu, who has become the public enemy of the family. This is a golden opportunity for the prince. As long as you are willing to rise up and become the leader of the family, then the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan that you have been thinking about for many years will be yours.
It’s waving.”
Sima Daozi jumped up in shock, looked at Wang Guobao opposite, and said sternly: "What are you talking about? Are you trying to teach Gu Regicide to seize the throne?!"
Wang Guobao gritted his teeth: "Now is the best opportunity. The mafia has already made arrangements around the emperor. This is what Suzaku just told me. That noble man is the killing move he has laid out for many years!"
Sima Daozi's eyes widened: "Zhang Guiren? Why, how could it be her? The emperor was very kind to him. Not only did he turn her from a palace servant into a noble lady, he also made her brother a county guard. How could she be
Mafia guy?”
Sima Yuanxian sneered: "Because if it weren't for the help of the mafia, it would be impossible for this noble lady to get ahead in the palace. And her brother Zhang Fashun was a strategist secretly trained by Suzaku many years ago. Without the help of the mafia, she would be alone."
How can an ordinary woman hold her own in the harem? Even the death of the former queen Wang Fahui was related to the mafia."
Sima Daozi looked at Sima Yuanxian in surprise: "Yuanxian, you, how come you know more about the mafia than your father?"
Sima Yuanxian said calmly: "Because my father is usually drunk and dreaming, these military matters are only left to Wang Pushe to deal with, and I am too lazy to take care of them. Therefore, the child must share the worries of his father. Some things have been exposed too much.
It will naturally become clear.”
Sima Daozi gritted his teeth and looked at Wang Guobao: "Were you the middleman who brought Yuan Xian into contact with the mafia?"
Wang Guobao cried sadly: "How dare I, Your Majesty, the White Tiger of the Mafia saw that the young prince was a talent, and began to personally train and contact him many years ago. Being able to become a high school student guarding the Mafia is not an ordinary person.
As much luck as you can get.”
Sima Daozi said angrily: "Yuan Xian, you are so brave to take this mafia man as your teacher, but you don't even tell your father. Do you still think of me as your father?!"
Sima Yuanxian said calmly: "Father, please calm down. If you are asked to put down this life of drunken dreams and death, give up the beautiful flowers and singing, dancing, silk and bamboo, and let you engage in these thrilling conspiracies and swords all day long, are you really willing?"
Sima Daozi's dark face turned red and he shook his head: "If you can't enjoy these human bliss while alive, then what's the use of having power?!"
Sima Yuanxian smiled slightly: "My father wants to have fun and does not want to bear the heavy responsibility of power, so let the child take care of it for you. Over the years, the child has learned a lot of tactics from the mafia.
, now, it’s time to use it. With this action, the child will prove his ability to his father."
Sima Daozi gritted his teeth: "But, do you want to attack your imperial uncle? He is your uncle after all."
Sima Yuanxian said coldly: "This uncle of mine will not hesitate at all if he wants to destroy the whole palace of Kuaiji Prince in the future. In the battle for imperial power, either he dies or I die. There is no third way."
, My father only needs to calm down and wait to inherit the throne, and there is no need to know too much about other bad things."
