Luoyang City.
The Taifu, the minister of the Shangshu, Sima Yue, the king of Donghai who was assisting the government in the dynasty, strolled in the courtyard and accidentally climbed to the high platform. The breeze blew his wide robe and sleeves, as if flying, and suddenly he had the idea of ​​being out of the world. But when he looked around, he couldn't help but sigh. The breeze was still there, but Luoyang City was no longer the Luoyang City that it was back then.
Luoyang was the old capital of the Later Han Dynasty. After the Han and Wei Zen Dynasty, it was built several times. First, Emperor Wen of Wei built Lingyuntai, Jiafu Hall, Chonghua Hall, etc. Later, Emperor Ming of Wei was extravagant and expanded Luoyang City with hundreds of thousands of labor service, forming Taiji Hall, Shigan Hall, Zhaoyang Hall, Zongzhangguan, Changhemen, etc., which was extremely magnificent. Countless high-rise buildings were built, all connected by pavilions, looking at it, with gold and jade decorations, carved beams and painted buildings, green tiles and gold bricks, and shining brightly. Later, he gathered copper from the world, casting Weng Zhong, Huanglong, Fenghuang, etc., which weighed ten thousand jin, and then transported the 10,000 jin copper camel made by Emperor Wu of Han to the south of Changhemen from Chang'an. Everyone thought it was magical.
By the Taikang period of this dynasty, Luoyang had been expanded into a giant city of ten miles east and west and thirteen miles north and south. There were twelve city gates in Zhou Kai, and Luo water was poured into Yangqu to pass around the city. There were three major markets of Jinshi, Nanshi and Mashi in the west, south and east of the city, and all the wealth and wealth in the world gathered here. Tongtu Street outside the Jinma Gate was a place of prosperity, and there was a saying that said, "There are wise people gathering outside the Jinma Gate, and young people gathering on Tongtu Street."
Such a grand occasion is no longer seen now. Since the first year of Yuan Kang, first, Jia and then the kings of the royal family attacked each other. Luoyang became a battlefield several times, and the palaces and imperial cities were severely damaged, and the people were separated, with a population less than 30% of the original ones. Not to mention that the traitor Zhang Fang led his troops to plunder, and the treasures of the treasury that the two dynasties had been plundered were all plundered. Sima Yue looked around and saw that Luoyang was full of scars and was in poverty. If it weren't for the resignation of the new king, he wouldn't want to stay in Luoyang for a day.
Thinking of Xinjun, Sima Yue's mood became worse and worse.
Your Majesty is now named Chi, with his courtesy name Fengdu. He is the 25th son of Emperor Wu. He was named King Yuzhang. He was appointed as the crown prince in the first year of Yongxing and became emperor at the end of last year. He has always been humble and self-reliant. He only enjoys studying historical books on weekdays and rarely interacts with court officials. Because he has no ambitions, he was praised by people at that time. It is precisely because of his personality that the King of Chengdu and King of Hejian who were in power at that time unanimously recognized him as the crown prince.
However, since Emperor Xiaohui passed away and Sima Chi inherited Dabao, he seemed to have become a different person. He summoned Shangshulang in Taiji Hall according to Emperor Wu's convention and asked them to explain the various imperial decrees of the court to himself; he often listened to and reported political gains and losses in the East Hall; even at banquets, he discussed various court affairs with officials and inspected relevant classics. At the same time, he vigorously promoted capable officials, such as the former son of the Zhongshu, Miao Bo from Lanling, who was promoted to the Zhongshujian, and Miao Bo's cousin, the Right Guard led Miao Yin to Taipuqing and became the emperor's confidant; in addition, the national uncle, the Changshi Wang Yan, Shangshu He Sui, and the Taishi Ling Gao Tangchong were also highly valued and participated in the secret. The Huangmen Minister Fu Xuan was very moved by this, and was amazed that he seemed to have seen the scene of Emperor Wu's life again.
The problem is, if the emperor is so diligent, how could Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, who is willing to monopolize the power, deal with it? Over the past few days, Sima Yue has been willing to sort out the government affairs and rebuild his authority, but various measures have been repeatedly constrained by the emperor. This made Sima Yue very dissatisfied.
The conflict between the King of Donghai and the Emperor led to the involvement of several officials. The struggle reached its peak two months ago. Zhou Mu, the Lang of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhuge Mei, the cavalry, lobbying Sima Yue to abolish Sima Chi while the King of Qinghe Sima Qin. Unexpectedly, the situation was not secret and was discovered by someone, and the court spread was a lot of controversy. In order to avoid suspicion, Sima Yue had to kill the two of them in tears to prove his innocence. Such an incident made His Highness, the King of Donghai feel very humiliated.
Could it be that the great power that Gu had seized after countless life-and-death battles was paving the way for the abundance of this boy? I was afraid that Ji Sun's worries were not in Zhuan Yu, but in Xiao Wall! Thinking of this, Sima Yue couldn't help but sigh again: "Half a year ago, Gu was in charge of Xuzhou's alliance with princes, attacked the rebel thief Yu Yangwu, and supported the imperial family and returned to the old capital. How powerful is it? Jingling, Gu Hui never listened to your words! Hui never took this opportunity to set the magic weapon in one fell swoop!"
Sitting upright in a corner of the high platform was the Lord of Jingling. She was wearing a delicate double skirt with green veil patterns, and layered strips were dragged on the ground, making her look very elegant and elegant. She looked light yellow on her face, and against the backdrop of the complicated and gorgeous headdress, she showed a very beautiful look, which was really a world of difference from the embarrassment in the Taihang Mountains in the past.
Hearing the complaint of the King of Donghai, the county lord of Jingling smiled and said, "Even if your Majesty has the heart, he has no strength. You can only control the thirty-six troops of Luoyang. Why should your father worry? If those royal families and court officials are really stubborn, let them go to Jinyong City."
Jinyong City is a military fortress in the northwest of Luoyang, which was originally used as a prison for imprisonment. In modern times, royal nobles such as Empress Dowager Yang Zhi, Prince Minhuai Sima Yi, Empress Jia Nanfeng, King Huailing Sima Chao, King Le'an Sima Bing, King Jiyang Sima Ying, etc., have died here. The saying of the lord of Jingling County is to persuade Sima Yue to use his harsh actions.
Sima Yue paved slowly in contemplation, but did not answer for a moment.
"King, Chief Liu is here." The attendant called out a light call to alarm Sima Yue.
Sima Yue was excited and said, "Please!"
The servants introduced one person from the forest. The man was about forty years old, with a handsome appearance and tall body. Although his temples were slightly frosty, he showed a unique charm of calmness and elegance. He was Liu Yu and Liu Qingsun, the King of Donghai.
Liu Yu was the eldest brother of Liu Kun. When he was young, he was known for his talent and his uncle Guo Yi and Liu Kun. At that time, he was known as "Yi Yi Yi in Luo, Qing Sun, and Yue Shi". He served as the Minister of the Secretariat, the Prefect of Yingchuan, and the Prefect of Wei County. He was originally the leader of Sima Xu, King Fanyang.
After Sima Yu's death, Sima Yue summoned Liu Yu to work as a shogunate. Since Liu Yu had changed hands several times, someone slandered Sima Yue and said, "Liu Yu's behavior is like dirt, and people who are close to him will be polluted." Therefore, Sima Yue is quite distant to Liu Yu.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu was indeed a talented figure. His information was handled, such as military books, storage and savings, cattle, horses, livestock, water, land and geography, etc., and he could not forget it. At that time, Sima Yue was in charge of the government affairs, but the world was in chaos and the affairs were extremely complicated. Every time he discussed, he didn't know what to do after being the Chief Secretary Pan Tao, but Liu Yu was proficient in using various information to give advice to Sima Yue, and he would be right. From then on, Sima Yue relied on Liu Yu and promoted Liu Yu to the left chief secretary. Although his official position was not high, he had all the military and national affairs, and he really held great power.
Liu Yu climbed up to the high platform, walked towards Sima Yue, and bowed down. Sima Yue smiled and went to help him, but he still finished his tribute meticulously and bowed to the Lord of Jingling County.
Sima Yue shook his head and said, "Qingsun is always so polite." But he was very satisfied with Liu Yuzhi's actions of advancing and retreating from his superiors and inferiors.
He looked at Liu Yu up and down and said, "Watching you, you must have good news."
"As the king expected." Liu Yu looked happy, and took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it: "Liu Yueshi has defeated the Hun army that invaded Jinyang, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and killed more than ten famous Xiongnu kings in formation. The Huns' corpses were piled up like mountains and captured countless people. This is the letter of victory that I just received."
"Come and watch it quickly!" Sima Yue was moved.
When the memorial was opened, his hands trembled slightly.
Since defeating the hostile kings and becoming the most powerful minister today, Sima Yue focused on mastering the center of the court, and at the same time gradually consolidated the new sphere of influence. His subordinates occupied important towns to serve as a supporter. In the past few months, he transferred Sima Lue, the King of Gaomi who was originally guarding Qingzhou, to serve as the general of the Southern Conquest and the military commander of Jingzhou, and to move the military commander of Xiangyang; Sima Mo, the King of Nanyang who was originally guarding Xuchang, to be the new General of the Western Conquest and the military commander of Qin Yong and Liang Yi, to move the military commander of Guanzhong.
Subsequently, Sima Yue arranged for himself to go out to Xuchang as an assistant to the government, not only firmly grasping the powerful forces, but also avoiding more and more frictions with the emperor in Luoyang; he also transferred Sima Teng, the King of Eastern Yan, who was formerly stationed in Bingzhou, to Yecheng, to serve as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and to govern the military affairs of Yecheng, to fill the vacancy of Sima Mo after entering Guanzhong west.
After this mobilization, the four important military cities of Chang'an, Yecheng, Xuchang and Xiangyang, centered on Luoyang, were firmly in the hands of Sima Yue. If Sima Yue had a stable position in the court, the local important towns could protect the capital; and if things were inconsistent, relying on the military power of these four important towns would be enough to imitate Yi Yin and Huo Guang and carry out the destruction and establishment.
This is an important subordinate such as Sima Yue and Wang Yan. After repeated consideration and preparation, the staff members were almost foolproof. There was no other force in the Jin Dynasty that could shake this layout, and any unfavorable situation was enough to deal with Yuru.
The only loophole was outside the court, the Hun Han Kingdom, which was located in the north of Luoyang.
Liu Yuan's Han regime crossed the jurisdiction and two states, and made a lot of strategies under the banner of avenging Chengdu King Sima Ying. Their army even captured Hanoi County, just across the Yellow River from the capital Luoyang.
For this reason, Sima Yue specially appointed his subordinate Liu Kun to Bingzhou to take on the task of suppressing the rebellion of the Huns. Although Liu Kun had powerful weapons, the situation in Bingzhou was too decayed. Sima Yue only asked Liu Kun to slightly restrain the Huns' troops and had no more expectations. Last month, news came that King Liu Yuan of Han raised all the five Huns' tribes to attack Jinyang. This made many people in the court very worried about the situation. Unexpectedly, Liu Yueshi actually defeated the Huns and won a great victory?
