Having said all that, it's almost done.
All the staff stepped forward, helped Sima Rui up, and climbed up to the car.
Soon, Sima Ruihaotao's crying voice drove away as the car drove away.
The military academies issued orders in due course, and the sergeants returned to their camps and were not allowed to act rashly.
After Sima Rui left, the shogunate officials also followed him.
Liu walked at the back, sighed heavily, glanced at Director Wang, looked unhesitant, and left quickly.
Director Wang closed his eyes and Nie stood in the cold wind.
There were no words, but the deep feeling of exhaustion and powerlessness lingered no matter what.
"Father." Wang Yue came over and said, "Everyone should go back to the palace to persuade us to come in."
Director Wang grunted and still stood there without moving.
Wang Yue accompanied him.
The father and son just looked at the military camp, river, forest, and farmland not far away, speechless for a long time.
Wang Yue somewhat understands his father.
It’s so annoying to do things that make people feel sick to their stomachs all day long!
However, King Langya seems to be humble and self-denying, but he is actually quite thoughtful and good at acting, which makes people feel helpless. Sometimes they want to say: "You're almost done."
Moreover, on the one hand, King Langya needed his father's help very much, but on the other hand, he was more vigilant.
The group of people headed by Liu did not get along very well with his father. They would find faults and impeachments from time to time, which was very annoying.
"Ancestor Shizhi once said that a person must have a beginning and an end." Director Wang sighed and said, "Let's go."
"Where to go?" Wang Yue asked subconsciously.
Director Wang looked at his son's thin body and coughing caused by the cold wind, and said, "Go back to the palace."
"What about these people?" Wang Yue asked, pointing to the soldiers wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety.
"Renovate the palace city." Wang Dao said: "This is the Wu Palace Garden, but it has long been in dilapidated condition. After the king ascends the throne, you can't just make do with it like this."
"Yes." Wang Yue nodded.
’ You instruct others to investigate the matter of ‘water transportation being delayed’, and don’t get involved in it.” Director Wang said, “Your Majesty, you are so shameless, why do you want to destroy it in the Northern Expedition?
There must be an explanation for everything. Otherwise, how can the wealthy Jiangdong family answer questions?"
After that, he got on the bullock cart and quickly arrived at the main gate of the palace under the escort of his entourage.
Unexpectedly, a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage rushed out at such a high speed that it almost collided with Director Wang's bullock cart.
Director Wang frowned and got out of the bullock cart. He first calmed the uneasy driver and said, "It's not your fault."
Then he looked forward and found that it was actually King Langya's car - in terms of model, it was actually similar to Yupan. After all, King Langya was the "supervisor of the country" and was not much different from the king.
A group of panting people chased behind the car, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Wow!" Sima Rui opened the car curtain and said with tears streaming down his face: "I am a sinner. I can't avenge my shame in the Northern Expedition, and I can't live up to the righteousness. How can I be honored with a great treasure? Don't you please give me more advice. Gu Ben Langya
King, I will return to my country and not care about worldly affairs."
Director Wang felt his temples swell slightly.
Seeing Diao Xie running from a distance, Director Wang stepped forward and grabbed him, asking in a low voice: "Xuan Liang, what happened?"
Diao Xie looked at Sima Rui, who was still crying, sighed, and whispered: "Just now, Duke Ming was not here, and someone took the lead in urging the king to ascend the throne to continue the country. But the king refused. So someone Banging his head against a pillar and insisting on death, the king looked relaxed, but still disagreed. He shed tears and ordered his private servants to drive back to the country."
Director Wang was silent.
The Langya Kingdom is located in Xuzhou, and there is indeed a Langya Kingdom in the east of Jiangdong today, but it has no actual land.
Someone mentioned a while ago that a piece of land in Danyang County was set aside for the Langya Kingdom. However, the land was not entirely owned by the imperial court, and they had to contend with Jiangdong's wealthy families. So far, there has been no result.
Return to the country, return to the country, which country to return to? Is it possible that you want to cross the river and go north to Langya County?
"In other words, the Northern Expedition has been settled, but now you don't want to ascend the throne of emperor?" Wang Dao asked.
"Yes." Diao Xie sighed.
King Langya is indeed generous and kind, and he is also humble and retreats. Everyone likes him very much.
But sometimes acting can be really overwhelming.
Everyone thought that the Northern Expedition was over, and that King Langya would ascend to the throne with his steps up, but they didn't expect that he would still act!
The real mother and maidservant makes people angry.
"Xuan Liang, please step aside first. I will deal with this matter." Director Wang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said to Sima Rui: "Your Majesty, I heard that your position cannot be empty for a long time, and all opportunities cannot be left empty for a long time. If the sun is empty, the throne will be in danger; if the sun is empty, everything will be in chaos. Since the Western Dynasty usurped the country, the world has been in chaos, and it has been two months. The world is thinking about the beauty of Zhongxing, and all living beings have the hope of coming to Su. Loyalty All the people in the country are equipped with horses and strong soldiers to fight against the national traitors; all wise people are looking forward to it and are willing to be my concubines. Tianzuo Jin Dynasty will definitely have a master, and the one who will lead the Jin Dynasty sacrifices is not the king! I invite your majesty to Taking care of the country and the country, don’t put small things first; take Guizhou as your top priority, don’t put concessions as a priority, and move forward with big treasures. In this way, the gods and men will be safe.
No misfortune."
As soon as Director Wang came forward, Sima Rui stopped talking and just shed tears.
Director Wang signaled, and Sima Rui's servant immediately turned the car around and headed towards the palace.
Bai Liao chased after him, out of breath.
The older one, who was already in poor health, became anxious and performed a medical miracle, chasing him here. At this time, he heard that King Langya had not returned to his country. He felt relieved and fainted directly, causing another scene. The chicken is flying and the dog is jumping.
With the carriages and horses scurrying, Jianye's generals, their crowns crooked and their armors tilted, made a roundabout run, and then they followed Sima Rui back to the palace.
, it doesn’t even have a palace, it’s just a courtyard where the former Soochow royal family used to vacation in Yuanyuan. But no matter what, after getting King Langya back, we can proceed to the next step.
After a while, more than a hundred people were standing inside and outside the small courtyard.
After an awkward silence, Director Wang also came to persuade me and said: "Shao Xun stole the artifact in the northwest, but Your Majesty wants to give way to the southeast. This is the so-called surrender to put out the fire. The matter has come to an end. , Your Majesty should submit himself to the throne, ascend the throne of the emperor, announce it to the world, and call on the loyal men of the twenty-one states to rise up to fight against the national traitors."
Well, this is "Your Majesty"?
When Sima Rui heard this, he started crying again and shook his head repeatedly.
"Your Majesty." There was a second one, but Diao Xie jumped out and said loudly: "I am a humble slave who once succeeded in his ambition and committed evil in Henan. His behavior is despicable and his crime is embarrassing. Your Majesty should take over the throne to set the record straight.
, Make Liuhe leather-faced, come to the court in the wilderness, and never let Xiaoxiao get his ambition."
"Your Majesty." Bian Hu cleared his throat and said, "The survival of Jin and Zuo depends entirely on your Majesty. If you promote it, you will gain, and you can prosper the country.
If you let it go, you will lose it, so you are endorsing the power of the traitors."
Sima Rui's eyelids twitched and his crying stopped for a moment.
Bian Hu's meaning is very clear. If you retreat, the various sect kings who came to the south of the Yangtze River may not have the ability to step in. After all, they have not been in charge of the shogunate for so many years, so many people will inevitably be separated.
If we proceed with generosity, we can even be revived.
This sentence is not unimportant. After saying this, Sima Rui did not dare to say it anymore.
"Your Majesty, I observe the celestial phenomena at night and know that the destiny of heaven has not changed and that everything has returned. On this occasion, I should ascend to the throne of emperor."
"Your Majesty, please come to the altar quickly and burn firewood to fulfill God's destiny."
"Your Majesty, Shao Xun bullied the clan officials and humiliated the members of the Tian family. The hatred of the enemies of this country must be avenged!"
"Under the formation...
Everyone was observing Sima Rui's expression, and after seeing the change in Sima Rui's expression, they no longer hesitated and urged him to come forward.
"I am a member of the clan, but there is still a famous prince living in the east of the Yangtze River. All the princes can find him here and make him the emperor." Sima Rui said with a choked voice as he looked at everyone.
Damn it! This is asking everyone to express their opinions in person.
"Your Majesty." Gu He took a step forward and said, "Since crossing the river, all the difficulties have been overcome by your Majesty. Who else can take the position of great treasure than your Majesty?"
This was the Jiangdong clan's statement. Sima Rui no longer shed tears and felt at ease.
"Your Majesty." King Sima of Xiyang came out and said: "If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne, you will go against the destiny of heaven and the expectations of others. I have asked the Jiangzuo clan to jointly persuade me to enter the palace. Your Majesty has no worries. It is best to speed up the promotion of the clan.
Very fortunate."
Sima Rui was silent for a long time. Just when everyone was getting impatient with waiting, he sighed three times and said, "That's it. I wish to follow the old example of Wei and Jin and ascend to the throne first. If there is a clan in the future that can live up to the expectations of the world, I will be the one to do it."
Go to this king's house to avoid the virtuous road."
Everyone is looking at each other. Can you be more straightforward?
However, this is okay. The land south of the Yangtze River is called the Jin Kingdom. Instead of calling him the emperor, he is only called the king of Jin. In fact, there is not much difference.
And, obviously this is only temporary.
After a while, he will change from King Jin to Emperor Jin.
"Mao Hong." Sima Rui wiped his tears and said, "All the rituals depend on you."
"I obey your order," Wang Dao responded.
After a lot of trouble, this farce finally ended.
In the first year of Kaiping in Daliang (327), at the end of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of Shengui in the Jin Dynasty, Sima Rui ascended to the throne and made Sima Zhong the crown prince. The next year was designated as the first year of Jianwu, and he committed to the Northern Expedition to kill the national traitors.
There is also a general amnesty for the whole world. The scope of the amnesty is also particularly emphasized: the national traitor Shao Xun, his parents, and his wife are not included in the amnesty.
On the last day of the year, Shi Chunyu Bo, the water transport commander, suddenly went crazy and drove an ox cart onto the street. He was later captured by the troops led by Wei He in the north of Jianye.
When Chunyu Bo was arrested, he shouted loudly in the street: "I am not guilty. It is because Wang Dao ordered not to distribute food and grass."
"Sima Rui, Wang Dao, just a common man! They don't dare to take on the task, but they go beyond others. How can they behave like a king or a prime minister?"
"Selling me to stop the world's slander is like a ghost! If you act like this, there will be consequences!"
"Sima Rui, your wife and daughter will be captured by Shao Xun and served naked. You wait."
Chunyu Bo was killed on the same day. He was accused of not distributing food and fodder and obstructing the Northern Expedition.
After all, Sima Rui was really full of military strength that day, intending to go to the Northern Expedition, but it ended hastily in the end. There must be an explanation.
The Chunyu family was just a minor surname in Jibei, and could not even be called a gentry. They crossed south early, but because their family status was so low, the advantage of crossing early was only one Cao Lingshi.
He is just a small person, so it is only appropriate to use him to take the blame.
