"Pei Kuo and Li Yun are incompetent and cannot stop the enemy from outside the country. They are in vain and they have failed me. What is the use of them?" The situation in the world was getting worse day by day. When the emperor read the memorial, he often felt smoke coming out of his mouth, so he simply stopped going to court and went to Hualin. Spend a few days relaxing in the garden.
However, after all, he couldn't worry about the government affairs, so the palace officials brought the memorial. When he felt better, he reviewed a few copies.
Sometimes important ministers would be summoned here to question them. Today, those summoned were Xun Fan, who had recently been promoted to Sikong, Shangshu Ling Liu Dun, and the Central Protector Xun Song.
It was already April, which was considered early summer, and all the civil and military officials had changed from their cyan official uniforms to scarlet official uniforms. They gathered together and did not speak, but signaled with their eyes.
The emperor put down his imperial pen and walked to the hanging maps. After looking at them for a long time, he suddenly asked: "If the capital is moved to Shouchun, how should we go?"
Xun Fan's eyelids twitched and he said: "Your Majesty, I can't leave now."
When the Xiongnu invaded Guanzhong, Zhao Ran defended Pubanjin. He fought well at first, but then he lost his temper or something, and actually asked Sima Mo, King of Nanyang, for the post of governor Feng Yi.
Of course, Sima Mo could not agree with this bad behavior of asking for rewards on the spot.
Zhao Ran was furious and led his army to surrender to the Xiongnu, which shocked everyone.
Liu Cong, the leader of the Han Dynasty, was overjoyed when he heard the news. He appointed Ran as General Pingxi and led his troops southward to cut off the food route for the defenders of Tongguan.
The war in Guanzhong was fought like this, which was unexpected.
Almost at the same time, Liu Cong ordered Yanyan to lead 20,000 to 30,000 people on foot and cavalry south to contain the Luoyang court and prevent it from rescuing Chang'an.
This is what makes the emperor angry.
There were less than 30,000 Xiongnu soldiers, and among them there was a mixture of fish and dragons. There may not be many real Xiongnu soldiers. They marched south to Luoyang in a mighty manner. They regarded the civil and military affairs of the Jin and Manchu dynasties as useless. However, the generals of the Forbidden Army said that they had few troops and asked Liangzhou soldiers to attack. Liangzhou soldiers came again. Since I have traveled long distances and fought hard for four years and three years, please give me a reward.
No one wants to happily fight for the imperial court!
Sima Chi knew that this was what he was really angry about. In other words, this was what he was afraid of.
In the past, Liangzhou soldiers would rush forward and fight fiercely without saying a word. After defeating the enemy, they would then receive the reward - is there anything else to say?
It has only been four years, and Liangzhou soldiers have not been able to come to Luoyang three times. Are they tired? Are there any resentments in your heart?
"Tune tens of thousands of silks and pay them to Bei Gongchun." After getting angry, Sima Chi felt helpless in his heart and said: "Stand them outside Daxia Gate. If any Xiongnu thieves come, attack them immediately. .”
"Your Majesty, I think it is possible to send Shao Xun to the west and combine him with Beigong's troops to attack the Xiongnu together," Xun Fan suggested.
The 5,000 Liangzhou soldiers are a bit small. If the Silver Spear Army is also mobilized, the certainty will be greatly increased. Hu Yanyan will definitely be able to be driven back to prevent them from destroying the crops in the counties of Henan again.
"Shao Xun?" When Sima Chi heard this, he immediately sneered.
He suddenly turned around, walked to the imperial case, rummaged for a while, took out several memorials, threw them on the case, and said: "Xun Qing might as well take a look, these things are closely related to Shao Xun."
Xunfan took a glance and understood.
Although he has resigned as Shangshu Ling, he still has old connections in the Shangshutai system and is very well-informed.
One of these memorials was a request from the army and people of Yanzhou to appoint Yang Mao as governor.
Xun Fan was also very angry about this because he recommended Li Shu. As a result, he was first blocked at Hulao Pass for more than ten days. The reason was that there were Huns riding southward and it was not safe. When they arrived at Chenliu, they encountered bandits on the road and were frightened.
Avoid Xingyang.
A few days ago, Li Shu wrote to him with sincere words and a pleading tone, saying that he no longer wanted to be the governor of Yanzhou.
Xun Fan was silent for a long time, and finally he just sighed.
Shao Xun finally took action.
It is true that Shao Xun was not the first to start such a bad trend. But when he started doing this, it undoubtedly aggravated this bad trend, which actually had disadvantages for him, but the benefits seemed to be greater. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally went
down this road.
After Xunfan pretended to read the memorial, he picked up another copy.
This is a memorial to the general of the town army, Sima Pidu, to supervise the military affairs of Yanzhou.
In Xun Fan's view, this was complete nonsense.
The governor is a public instrument of the state, how can he be succeeded by his son after his father dies? Besides, Sima Pi is too young and inappropriate.
After reading this, there are still two or three others, but they are all trivial matters, such as requesting the establishment of Jiyang County, such as Xuzhou Pei Dunbiao Mihuang as the internal history of the East China Sea, etc.
After Xun Fan put down the last memorial, he said: "Your Majesty, now we have to rely on Duke Chen to maintain water transportation. In this matter, he has meritorious service..."
Well, it's better not to say this, but once you say it, it's like adding fuel to the fire, making Sima Chi even more angry. He just heard him say: "Shao Xun has little merit, so he relies on his favor to make troops.
I don’t accept the proclamation and I don’t obey the court. I am a noble person.
He was pure and did not want to be held accountable, but he intensified his actions, asking for an official position for Sima Yue's remaining party, and a famous weapon for Donghai Niexi. In the previous period, he blocked my move to demote Donghai as the county king. What he did did not look like a minister."
Xun Fan was speechless.
In terms of enmity with Shao Xun, he has much more hatred than the emperor. His eldest son Daoxuan was killed by Shao Xun when he was in the shogunate of Wang Yi in Changsha. Do you think I don't hate him? But people can't act based on emotion alone. The way the world is, it's a bit aggrieved.
We can only bury it deep in our hearts, and the choices and trade-offs are the most important.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Shao Xun was training troops in Chen County. He supported Ti cavalry to patrol the canals and built buildings to ward off bandits. He worked hard day and night and did not dare to slack off." Liu Tun stepped forward and said: "I went to Jingzhou to defeat Hou Tuo.
Yu Duyang, later
When they arrived at Sizhou, they defeated Wang Sang in Xinzheng. Shi Le attacked Xingyang, and Shi Chao attacked Chen Liu. They were all plots to cut off water transportation, but Shao Xun resolved them. From this point of view, Chen Gong is really the great screen of the country and his Majesty's talisman.
ah."
"You guys -" Sima Chi looked at Xun Fan and then at Liu Tun, feeling extremely chilled.
Even when Sima Yue was in power, the two of them did not seek refuge with the past, but were loyal to Xu Guo and their hearts were devoted to the Heavenly Family. In this case, he did not understand why they could not go along with the matter regarding Shao Xun and Sima Yue's remnant party.
According to my wishes, refute shameless people like Shao Xun and Sima Pi and destroy their conspiracy?
Am I wrong?
Sima Chi couldn't accept this fact, his face turned red and white, and finally looked at Xun Song and asked: "Jing You, what do you think?"
"I thought that the territory of Yu and the two states of Yan are connected to Xiao territory, and the war is fierce and dangerous." No one could stop them until the country of Chen Hou was able to curb the thieves' advance. Last year, Wang Sangkan sent Luo Jing to Luo Jing. When the people heard about it, they all rejoiced and said that there was hope for the revival of the Jin Dynasty. Only with such generals in Henan can he be rejected by the imperial court. Hebei is in raging fire, and we are preparing for the Black Mountain bandits. If it were anyone else, I would be worried that Shi Leru would go into an uninhabited country, suddenly rush to Xiangyang, Jiangxia, join Wang Ru, and Du Tao's bandits, and the situation would be over."
Sima Chi's figure swayed, and his face looked very ugly.
As if blessed in his heart, he suddenly figured out one thing: neither Wang Yan nor Xun Fan would definitely stand on his side.
They may be loyal, but what they are loyal to is a mystery.
There is an essential difference for him whether he is loyal to the emperor or loyal to the court.
If he were replaced by the late emperor, they would be equally loyal.
Haha, okay, great.
After thinking about this, Sima Chi felt his heart was filled with panic.
We are the common masters of the world, but we cannot make the subordinates completely return to their hearts.
From this point of view, there is no need to move the capital.
Is Zhou Fu any different from Xun Fan?
"I'm tired. I'll leave some matters to you." Sima Chi was disheartened, waved his hand and said, "In addition, I will appoint Gou Xi as the general, the chief governor, the governor of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Yu. , Jing, and the military forces of the six states of Yang."
After that, without waiting for the reaction of the ministers, he left directly in his chariot.
Xun Fan and Liu Dun looked at each other and nodded slightly.
The six states of Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Jing, and Yang already have their own governors. Now they have a general governor, giving Gou Xi the name of controlling the military of the six states. Is this to fight fire with fire?
Xun and Liu did not intend to refuse, because this edict was actually of no use.
Will Sima Rui listen to Gou Xi?
Will Shan Jian listen to Gou Xi?
Will Shao Xun listen to Gou Xi?
In other words, Xuzhou Wang Long may be more afraid. He is "supervising Xuzhou's military affairs" and is relatively weak among the governors. However, considering the existence of the Wang family in Donghai, Gou Xi may not be able to intervene in Xuzhou's military affairs.
The emperor was simply venting his anger.
A few people here are discussing how to deal with the memorial, while the emperor has returned to Zhaoyang Palace.
Queen Liang Lanbi looked at the emperor in surprise.
The weather was getting a little warmer, and the queen was dressed a little thinly, with a puffy chest, a slender waist, and a red face. Sima Chi felt his mouth was dry after looking at it.
The queen felt the emperor's gaze, and her face turned red as if she was about to bleed.
She stepped forward with light steps and looked at the emperor with surprise and love in her eyes.
The emperor's breathing gradually became heavier, but suddenly his face turned pale - he had just woken up, but fell asleep again.
The queen lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Her face was full of shame and she was extremely beautiful.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any movement from the emperor. He suddenly understood. He sighed secretly, gently took Sima Chi's hand and said: "Your Majesty, I made some snacks -"
As if there was something poisonous in his hand, Sima Chi hurriedly shook it off and took half a step back.
In the Queen's astonished eyes, he turned his head and said: "I heard that General Wei has many contacts with the refugee commanders of Xizhou, and is a brother of the same clan as Yin Liangzong of Jingzhao. Queen, please write a letter and ask General Wei if he can
I would like to serve as the governor of Wancheng."
"Yeah." Liang Lanbi was slightly disappointed, but still responded obediently.
"Speak stronger and tell General Wei not to refuse." Sima Chi said, "If he doesn't agree, I will come to the house in person."
Liang Lanbi responded again.
My father has always been unwilling to get involved in these things, but the emperor has lost his patience. He desperately hopes that his father will come out to help, and he does not know what is irritating him.
There are many loyal ministers in the court, so why use relatives?
"Remember, as soon as possible." The emperor emphasized again, and then hurriedly left.
Looking at his figure, he looked a bit embarrassed.
Chapter completed!
