Speaking of this guest, there is an allusion. When Huan Wen wanted to usurp the throne, Xie An and Wang Tanzhi, as the heads of the Wang and Xie families, strongly opposed it. In the end, Huan Wen simply made a desperate move and led his troops into Jiankang, and in
A large camp was set up in Stone City in an attempt to force hundreds of officials and noble families in the court to submit.
At that time, Emperor Jian Wen, Sima Yu, had passed away. Huan Wen needed the family to express their stance and collectively expressed their support so that he could seize the throne from the young Sima Yao. For this reason, he did not hesitate to set up a Hongmen Banquet in the military camp to invite Xie An and Wang
The two Tanzhi went there.
In that murderous military camp, Wang Tanzhi was sweating, trembling, and almost fainting, while Xie An was calm and leisurely, as if attending a family banquet, and Huan Wen was threatening and tempting him at the banquet, almost openly.
The showdown forced the two of them to express their stance, but Xie An took his time, argued hard and argued hard, and finally made Huan Wen speechless.
Huan Wen could not give in to the two of them verbally, so he could only leave the table with excuses and go to the inner tent at the back to consult Xi Chao, the military advisor who was hiding aside.
, was also a first-rate counselor. Huan Wen's move to usurp the throne and various secret strategies to conquer the world were mostly planned by this person. But even he could not defend Xie An.
Huan Wen went in and out of the inner tent several times, and Xie An had already seen it clearly. When Huan Wen came out for the last time, he said with a smile: "Taiwei Huan (Huan Wen's official residence at that time) has such a guest, why don't we invite him out to have a banquet with us?"
?”
From then on, this guest became a synonym for the kind of dog-headed military advisor who secretly planned shady activities, and became a laughing stock along with Xi Chao.
Sun Tai's face changed slightly. He could tell that it was a curse word, but he still smiled and said: "Your Majesty likes elixirs. Five stones are scattered. I am a poor man with nothing to do. With this talent in alchemy, I am praised by Your Majesty."
Recruited."
Although Sima Daozi was dull, he could still tell that it was a curse word. He was not very clear about the overt and covert struggle between Wang Guobao and Sun Tai for favor, but he could hear that the two people were secretly competing, so he curled up his lips and said: "
Wang Pushe, Leader Sun is a distinguished guest invited by Gu, you should work together to assist Gu Cai, why should you be jealous in front of Gu?"
Wang Guobao smiled slightly and saluted: "I am aware of my guilt. However, I think that Master Sun's talents are above refining elixirs and medicine, and this military matter is not his specialty. Your Majesty should still discuss these military matters with the right people.
thing."
Sima Daozi waved his hand: "Master Sun is not an ordinary alchemist. He also has friends with many dignitaries in the court. He himself is also very knowledgeable. What he says will make me have my own judgment, just like Huan Xuan just now,
Bishop Sun Jiao’s method is very effective.”
Wang Guobao sneered and said: "Master Sun's method has made the king angry for many years, but it has also offended the Huan family. Is this really good?"
Sun Tai said calmly: "Does Wang Pushe still want the Huan family to occupy Jingzhou for generations like this, threatening the court, the emperor, and the king from generation to generation?"
Wang Guobao's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "How can you, a Taoist, interfere with the personnel affairs of the court and major military and political affairs? Why don't you get out of here quickly!"
Sima Daozi curled his lips, sighed, and said to Sun Tai: "Master Sun, please step aside first. I have something to say to Wang Pushe."
Sun Tai bowed calmly, turned around and retreated. Only Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao were left in the secret room.
Wang Guobao was secretly happy in his heart, and when he was about to speak, he only heard Sima Daozi yelling: "Wang Guobao, who do you think you are? Who do you want to use, who do you want to see, who do you want to listen to, and it's your turn to point your fingers at you?"
foot?!"
Wang Guobao suddenly realized that although this black man was drunk and lustful, he was a prince after all and could not be manipulated by himself as a minister. Today's incident may have violated his taboo and made him
I have lost face in front of Sun Tai, and if I don't apologize properly, I'm afraid this will be a difficult time.
He quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing: "I know that I am guilty, and I swear to be loyal to the prince to the death. I must not dare to have any different intentions."
Sima Daozi's black and white eyes were shining brightly: "Humph, don't think that Gu is a fool and doesn't know anything. You are trying so hard to prevent Sun Tai from seeing Gu, don't you just want to control Gu by yourself?
In your hand? How is your thinking different from that of Huan Wen? "
When Wang Guobao raised his head again, his face was already full of tears, and his plump face was lined with tears: "Your Majesty, I am really loyal, and I can learn from it. The way of masters in Tiantian is the same as that of the Huan family.
He is very ambitious and has evil plans. He caused trouble in Jingkou a few years ago. Therefore, I am really not sure of his true thoughts, so I dare not introduce him to the king rashly. I am not trying to win favors."
Sima Daozi sighed: "What you said makes some sense. Gu is also on guard against Sun Tai, but you have been with Gu for so long, but no one can take this opportunity to remove the Huan family from Jingzhou."
Only Sun Tai made the suggestion to drive us away. Is it because you don’t have the ability, or do you have your own calculations?”
Wang Guobao gritted his teeth and put on a look of indignation and loyalty: "Sun Tai's plan is not a good plan at all. He is trying to dismantle our Dajin. Although Jingzhou has been the home base of the Huan family for many years, it is also a place of resistance.
On the front line of the Qin army's invasion, if there is a change in Jingzhou, the Qin army will definitely march straight in and take Jiangling. At that time, if they go down the river, Jiankang will be in trouble, because in the past dynasties, if they wanted to capture Jiankang, they had to come from the north.
It’s very difficult because of the natural dangers of the river, but it’s much easier if you go down the river from Jingzhou. Isn’t that what happened when the Western Dynasty destroyed Soochow?”
Sima Daozi's brows gradually wrinkled: "Could it be that without the Huan family, no one can defend Jingzhou? That's not true. Is it true that our Jin Dynasty has no loyal ministers and good generals?"
Wang Guobao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, of course the Huan family must be driven away, just like we drove away Xie An a while ago, but this meal has to be eaten one after another. While we drive away Xie An, we also have to give Xie Xuan that
The post of governor of the five states was used to appease the Huan family. The foundation of the Huan family in Jingzhou was too deep. If you wanted to move them, you had to take your time and alienate their subordinates first. Those who refused to obey were transferred to other places. Finally, the civil and military officials in Jingzhou were replaced by
If our people want to drive away the people named Huan at this time, isn't it a matter of course? However, now that the enemy is facing us, the most important thing is to resist Qin. Since you can temporarily use Xie Xuan, you can't use the Beifu soldiers to do anything.
How many years will you endure the Huan family?"
Sima Daozi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "What you said makes sense. Now that I think about it, Sun Tai really doesn't have any good intentions. Huh, he told Gu that he could come forward to summon the Taoists from Heaven to guard Jingzhou. Fortunately, he didn't listen to him.
Yes. You go and find a way to call Huan Xuan back. Just tell him that he drank too much and summon him another day."
