Chapter 686: On behalf of Wei

Chapter 686 Dai Wei

The tenth year of Qin Ganlu (AD 265), the first year of Wei Xianxi.

Sima Yan defeated Sun Hao in Yiyang, regained Shouchun, and severely damaged Shi Ji's tribe in Xiangyang. His momentum was at its peak. On the 16th of the first lunar month, with the abdication of Wei Emperor Cao Huan, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Jin, and changed it to Yuan Taishi.

Sima Yi was posthumously named Emperor Xuan, with the temple name Gaozu, Sima Shi was named Emperor Jing, with the temple name Shizong, and Sima Zhao was named Emperor Wen, with the temple name Taizu.

The concubine Yang Yan was made the queen, and the second legitimate son Sima Zhong was made the prince.

Shi Bao was moved to the post of Grand Sima, granted the title of Duke of Leling County, and became a minister.

Jia Chong was the right chariot and cavalry general, and the casual cavalry was always at his service.

Chen Qian was appointed as Zuo Chaqi General, Gaoping County Duke, Shizhong, and continued to oversee Hebei.

Zhang Huahua was ordered to serve as a secretary and a regular attendant on the cavalry.

Pei Xiu Sheng was appointed Minister of the Book of Order, Julu Gong.

How had he ever been promoted to prime minister and given the title of Duke Langling?

Xun Yi joined Sikong and was granted the title of Duke of Linhuai.

The rest Wang Chen, Wang Yi, Wang Hun, Wang Jun, Lu Qin, Liu Hong, Tang Bin and others all received awards, and even the deposed Shi Jian was used again.

Cao Wei, which had reigned for forty-six years, was officially overthrown.

Due to Cao Huan's full cooperation, Sima Yan also sincerely granted Cao Huan the title of King of Chenliu, with ten thousand households in the city. He built a palace in Yecheng, set up the emperor's banner, and prepared a chariot for five o'clock. The system is just like the old thing in the Wei State. They did not accept submission as ministers when submitting letters, and did not worship after receiving edicts. This can be said to have given the Cao family enough face.

But this face is soaked with Cao Mao's passion.

Historically, the title of King Chenliu was extended to the Southern Qi Dynasty, which lasted for 214 years.

For a time, the nobles praised Sima Yan's benevolence.

All kinds of flattering articles are rampant.

Yuwen, Duan and Murong from Liaodong came to express their congratulations.

At the suggestion of Zhong Hui, Sun Hao from Jiangdong also sent an envoy to congratulate him.

Sima Yan paid homage to heaven and earth and rewarded the meritorious soldiers, which greatly boosted the morale of the Jin army.

However, despite the universal celebration in the Central Plains, there are also discordant voices.

At this moment, hundreds of idle people gathered in the residences of Luoyang City, listening attentively to the storyteller's commentary on Sima Zhao's conquest of Shouchun Zhonghui.

With a "pop" sound, the gavel slapped on the wooden case.

"But it was said that Shouchun City was about to be destroyed. The Crown Prince brought a bowl of medicine into the palace and said: Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

"Although the king has been in poor health, he has improved after being nursed back to health. When he saw that the prince's expression was not right, he asked angrily: Where is the doctor Wang?"

"The prince said that this was prepared by Dr. Wang himself, and he fed his father to drink it."

"Who is the king? Knowing that something is wrong, he ordered the crown prince to retreat, but the crown prince refused to retreat. The king ordered the personal guards to take it, but unexpectedly the guards did not move. The prince brought medicine to the bedside, and the king exclaimed, why is this happening? This is The world is originally a great talisman, and a traitor cannot take it by force!"

The people listened attentively.

People in the streets and alleys are most fascinated by these butler secrets.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, the more terrifying it is, the more eye-catching it will be.

There were many people in colorful costumes among the crowd. Storytelling has become very popular in recent years. It does not require a stage, silk or bamboo, but only a piece of gavel. You can speak standing, sitting, or walking.

So it attracted a lot of people, and Luoyang kept banning it repeatedly.

Among the crowd, a handsomely dressed young man listened especially raptly.

Only when Sima Yan was busy with the enthronement ceremony could he go out for a walk.

I happened to come across this storyteller.

Although the storyteller did not mention anyone by name, how could he not recognize what he was referring to?

The king is clearly Sima Zhao, the former king of the Jin Dynasty, and the prince is the current emperor Sima Yan, and the big talisman refers to him, Sima You, with the courtesy name Dayou and the small alias Taofu.

Sima Yan may be hypocritical, but Sima You is genuine.

He is good at charity, helps poor people, and is famous for his filial piety.

The people in the fief suffered from floods and epidemics. Sima You reduced the land tax to appease the people...

Later he served as a regular servant of the cavalry and an infantry captain. He managed the army with dignity and grace and had outstanding abilities.

Since the time of Sima Yi, Sima You has been valued by the Sima family and even more relied upon by the gentry.

A lot of people gathered around me.

After Sima Zhao became King of Jin, he expressed his intention to establish Sima You many times in front of important ministers. This was no longer a secret in Luoyang.

When Feng Sa was defeated, Sima Zhao returned to Luoyang and became seriously ill. Historical records record: At the beginning, when Zhao was seriously ill, the court favored Yu You. ("Book of Jin: Biography of Jia Chong")

Sima Zhao attacked Zhonghui and took Sima Yan away, but left Sima You to guard Luoyang. This was a very clear signal.

It's a pity that Sima Zhao passed away inexplicably.

With the support of Shi Bao, Jia Chong and others, Sima Yan kept the mourning secret, abandoned Shouchun who had already destroyed the city, rushed back to Luoyang, and took charge...

"Sir, this man's monstrous words have deceived the public. They must have been carefully crafted by Qin thieves. He will be brought to prison for interrogation!" Liu Tun, the follower beside him, whispered in a low voice.

Sima You glanced at the people around him and shook his head, "It is better to guard the people's mouth than to guard the river. The right and wrong are in the heart of the people. If you can restrain it for a while, how can you restrain the hearts of the world?"

There are too many scapegoats for the Sima family. From the Oath of Luoshui to the regicide on the street, the world has long been in an uproar.

Sima You sighed, "Let's go."

The other people were still immersed in storytelling and did not realize that they had just walked through the gate of hell.

In addition to the courtyard gate, Liu Tun said: "The commentary is right. The cause of death of the late emperor is suspicious. Why doesn't Taofu trace the guards who were around the late emperor?"

Liu Tun was the son of Shangshu Zuopushe Liu Yi, and he had been close to Sima You since childhood.

"Those people... have long been buried in peace..." Sima You didn't have to do it himself, someone had already done a secret investigation for him.

However, the other party was flawless. None of the guards who experienced this incident survived. Even the doctor Wang in the commentary was silenced.

Only Jia Chong, Shi Bao, Xun Xu and other old foxes know the inside story.

But will they speak?

When Sima Yan ascended the throne, they were the biggest beneficiaries.

Especially Jia Chong, he repeatedly wavered between Sima You and Sima Yan.

In the end, he sided with Sima Yan.

Daughter Jia Nanfeng is engaged to Prince Sima Zhong.

"Humph, I'm trying to hide it!" Liu Tun said helplessly.

If Sima Zhao could live for two more years, the world might fall into someone's hands.

"Now that the country is facing a national crisis, the Qin people practiced the method of equalizing land, farmed and fought to build the country, and hid in the west. They wiped out the desert in the western region in a few years. The land occupation system has become tired. After the floods, Nanyang, Hedong, and Qingxu thieves have sprung up, and they have repeatedly suppressed injustice.

, internal and external troubles, the Central Plains must not be in chaos anymore, and my family must not have any more scandals. Will we not see the old things of the Cao family in Changsheng? Boil the beans to burn the beans, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They are born from the same root, so there is no need to worry about frying each other." Sima

You Wen said.

If the Cao family hadn't been so fiercely competitive among the brothers, how could it have been the Sima family's turn?

At that time, the sons of Emperor Wu of Wei were all famous among men.

Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Chong...

One by one died young.

Liu Tun was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of emotion, "It is a pity for the world that the world cannot be governed by you."

"You must not say this again. My brother is the emperor, and I should be the Duke of Zhou!" Sima You is as gentle as jade.

Walking onto Tongtuo Street, I met Ji Xi coming over and said, "Young Master is very happy. Your Majesty will make you the King of Qi and the General of the Hussars!"

Sima Yan has always disliked Sima You, but the power behind Sima You is not trivial. Sima Shi's old tribes are all under his command, so this King of Qi has to grant him the title.
