Wang Guobao was overjoyed and immediately felt that he was a talent. With just a few words, he managed to bring back the lazy Sima Daozi.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
"It has been prepared for the king a long time ago!"
To say that I know Sima Daozi well, but also to say that he is a national treasure brother, he clearly knows that Daozi is just joking and will never take it seriously, but he is still very cooperative.
Seemingly high-spirited, but actually slack-jawed, Wang Guobao worked hard and sent a stack of memorials to Sima Daozi, who then spread them out on the table again.
He didn't even look at the one at the front.
"What kind of place is Dongguan? It's a remote and remote place, but there is still famine!"
"No matter what!"
"In our prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, where are there any hungry people?"
"Those evil thieves who refuse to serve as soldiers and hide in the mountains all day have never heard that they will starve to death. Is this false news?"
I threw one away and picked up another.
"Tianshi Dao rebelled in Kuaiji County?"
"This is even more ridiculous!"
"The Great Celestial Master of Celestial Master Dao is in Jiankang City right now. They have no one to direct them. How can they cause trouble?"
Sima Daozi's various principles came one after another, one after another, which was overwhelming. The voice that revealed stupidity and ignorance passed through the palace door that was not closed too tightly. Every sentence, every word, was all transmitted to the palace.
In the ears of outsiders.
"Is this how he handles official business these days when I am in seclusion?"
"I don't know what it's like to return to your majesty. However, the courtiers followed your majesty's orders and sent the memorial to King Langya. This is correct."
Yuan Bao knows best what kind of character Sima Daozi is these days, but no one expected that Sima Yao would see Sima Daozi's arrogance.
This is not good!
Let others not even have the chance to be bad guys!
"This evil thief!"
"He...he actually dares to covet the throne!" Sima Yao gritted his teeth, cursed, and rushed into the hall as he spoke.
To catch thieves and catch dirty things, if you want to catch the evil man Sima Daozi, of course you have to catch the heat. As long as he can appear in the main hall, I guarantee that Sima Daozi will wet his pants immediately!
Sima Yao clenched his fists and said that he was about to rush to the main hall!
not good!
Something bad is happening!
Yuanbao rushed forward first.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"What King Langya said must be drunken words. He is drunk and cannot be true!"
He grabbed Sima Yao, and Sima Yao was furious: "Drunk words?"
"Is this what you can say when you're drunk?"
"Who gave him the courage!"
As an emperor, no one can ignore what Sima Daozi just said. What does this mean?
Isn’t this an attempt to usurp the throne?
Usurping whose position?
Of course it belongs to him, Sima Yao!
It was in vain that he had placed great trust in Sima Daozi for many years and always regarded him as his heart and right arm.
But he has the intention to usurp the throne!
"Who is this?"
"He is simply not human!"
"Poisonous as snakes and scorpions!"
"ungrateful!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be angry!"
"Calm down, calm down!"
There is no need to doubt Yuan Bao's ability to do things. Sima Yao was furious here, but miraculously, his various abuses did not reach the palace.
No one heard about Sima Daozi, who had ulterior motives, and Wang Guobao, who only cared about flattering.
Why is it so magical?
Of course it is not because His Majesty the Emperor lacks strength and speaks softly.
All because Yuan Bao had already taken his old man away.
Sima Yao was cursing, but in fact, after leaving that miserable side hall, his anger calmed down a lot.
"Your Majesty, drink tea!"
Sima Yao was so angry that his face turned green, like some kind of green vegetable. Yuan Bao brought the fragrant tea to Sima Yao with a smile on his face.
This kid is quite good at getting things done this time.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Sima Yao was so relieved that he actually raised his head to ask the eunuch Yuan Bao for his opinion on such important court matters, which was really puzzling.
It can be seen that as an emperor, he did not trust those resourceful ministers, and the eunuch Yuan Bao was just a little person who didn't know a few characters.
Such a person makes Sima Yao, who is also not very good at it, feel very at ease.
"Your Majesty really praises your slave."
"How can I give advice on such a big matter with my little knowledge?"
The more Yuan Bao humbles himself, the more Sima Yao appreciates him.
have a look!
have a look!
Even this little eunuch, who had no knowledge and had no power, knew that he should respect the majestic emperor and did not dare to say a word or do anything wrong in front of him.
But what about Sima Daozi?
What did he think of his biological brother?
His springboard to power?
Or never paid it any attention at all!
"If I ask you, just say, there is no need to be humble."
His Majesty the Emperor has said all he has to say, and if he doesn't speak again, he will be looking for trouble.
Yuan Bao finally raised his head, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, based on my humble opinion, for the sake of the present, it is better not to make any noise."
"As the saying goes, watch what you say and watch what you do. What King Langya said today really made His Majesty extremely sad."
"However, King Langya is young after all, and it is inevitable that he is immature. I think this may not be the King's true words."
Sima Yao frowned and immediately noticed that Yuan Bao's eyes were twinkling.
"Are you saying that there is a traitor behind your back to drive a wedge between me and King Langya?"
"This... I can't be sure, but your Majesty is right, it is indeed possible."
Traitor?
Who else could it be?
Who was the person who was fawning next to Sima Daozi just now?
The porcelain green tea cup fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.
"Wang Guobao!"
"You villain!"
"I actually misjudged you!"
Sima Yao clenched his fists and almost gritted his molars as he said these words.
The great eunuch Yuan Bao took advantage of the old man not paying attention and secretly wiped his sweat.
Good! Good!
Brother National Treasure, this is not my intention to guide you. Your Majesty himself has thought of you. If anything happens to you in the future, please do not come to me.
None of my business!
I am innocent!
…………
Over there, His Majesty the Emperor Sima Yao has nailed a token of death on Wang Guobao's back. Over here, in the side hall, Brother Guobao is still accompanying Sima Daozi. The two of them are eating and drinking, looking forward to the coming
The storm is still unknown.
"What's this?"
"A military report from the front?"
The so-called military reports are memorials used in the army to specifically report on the battle situation on the front line. This kind of memorial is very different from ordinary court affairs memorials in appearance, and can be seen almost at a glance.
In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, paper had become a relatively popular material. Although not many ordinary people could afford it, when it came to formal memorials, various government offices had begun to use paper as a writing medium to convey messages.
Ordinary court memorials are simply wrapped in book covers, but military reports are different. Whether a battle is won or not is a major event related to the fate of the court, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Regardless of victory or defeat, it must be kept as secret as possible. Only a few core figures in the court, including the emperor, can be the first to know the battle reports on the front line.
And now, who in the court will temporarily act as emperor?
It was none other than Langya King Sima Daozi.
So, this fresh report from Nanyang City was delivered to his hands. This is really a blind eye.
It was a good news, but Sima Daozi opened it first. The rewards that were supposed to be received disappeared in an instant when Sima Daozi opened the sealed bamboo tube.
"Nanyang County?"
"Took it down?"
"How can it be!"
"Wang Zhiyuan and his gang dare to deceive the imperial court!"
"It's really a crime that cannot be punished!"
In the pile of memorials sent by Wang Guobao, not many of them could arouse Sima Daozi's interest. They were boring, really boring.
He looked at this one, then picked up that one, and found that all the so-called government affairs made him feel boring.
Nothing interesting?
Unexpected by him?
Soon, this bamboo tube military newspaper sealed with hot wax attracted Sima Daozi's attention.
Huh?
Isn't this a battle report?
In the past, it was specially sent to His Majesty the Emperor. I heard that this kind of battle report was usually made in two copies, one was sent to the palace, and the other was naturally sent to Xie's Mansion on Wuyi Lane.
"This is interesting, open it and take a look."
Sima Daozi laughed and pried open the sealing wax of the bamboo tube. However, when he saw clearly the contents of the memorial, he stopped laughing.
"National treasure, look at it!"
"Wang Zhiyuan, are you lying?"
The national treasure received the battle report and was even more shocked: "Your Majesty, it's impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Nanyang County is heavily fortified and the city walls are impregnable. However, our army's total strength in Xinye County is only 10,000. How can such a weak force compete with the Di Qin army?"
"Wei Chen heard that Wang Zhiyuan's trip to Xinye County only has a few hundred followers. Even if he arrives in Xinye, what can he do?"
"Just him!"
"He alone can shake Nanyang County?"
"Weichen absolutely doesn't believe it!"
A strange conversation was held openly in the side hall of Jiankang Palace. Neither Sima Daozi, the royal family of Jin, nor Wang Guobao, who claimed to be a loyal minister, refused to believe in the glorious achievements of his own army.
They are still superstitious about Di Qin's army!
Do they want the Qin army to win?
Of course, there is no need to say such harsh words. As members of the Jin Dynasty court, they certainly would not be unwilling to win the battle with their own army.
What they care about is the general who leads the army to victory.
On one side is the weak but cunning Wang Zhiyuan, and on the other is the Jingzhou commander Huan Chong who has always been at odds with the court.
The victory of these people will not make Wang Guobao feel happy, nor will it be of any help to the Jin Dynasty. It will only add a few more powerful spoilers to the court that is already full of intrigues and disputes.
"National treasure, do you also think that this battle report is fake?"
After Sima Daozi calmed down, he suddenly remembered something.
When the national treasure heard this, he said very naturally: "Of course it's fake!"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. According to Wei Chen, that guy Wang Zhiyuan, apart from his good looks, has no achievements in fighting."
"The last battle in Xiangyang gave him an advantage, but he was just relying on him to follow the Beifu soldiers all the way. To put it bluntly, it's not Wang Zhiyuan who is good with his bow and horse, it's Xie Youdu who is good, it's the Beifu soldiers who are strong!"
"But what about this time, Your Majesty?"
"This time, whether in Xiangyang or Xinye, there are no troops stationed in Beifu. Those stationed there are Jingzhou soldiers. The combat effectiveness of Jingzhou soldiers has been obvious to all for many years."
"With Wang Zhiyuan's mere 500 troops, defecting to Jingzhou soldiers will not have much effect at all."
"In addition, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, Huan Chong, has always been a timid and cowardly man. He is as afraid of Qin as a tiger. How could he lead a large army and capture Nanyang?"
Wang Guobao stood in the center of the hall and made an impassioned speech. The focus of his speech was on the fact that Nanyang County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the city has high walls and thick walls.
He believed that Mr. Huan, the chief general of Jingzhou, had rarely won against Di Qin for many years. If he wanted to capture a small city, such as Xinye County, it might be possible for him to work hard.
But...Nanyang County?
How is that possible!
If Mr. Huan had such ability, he would not have surrounded Xiangyang back then.
"But, national treasure, you have also overlooked one point." Just when Wang Guobao blindly denied the Jingzhou soldiers' achievements, Sima Daozi suddenly had an idea.
Guobao stepped forward, and Daozi stood in front of him and said softly: "Although Huan Chong is not strong enough, where is Wang Zhiyuan?"
"If he leads the Jingzhou soldiers into battle to kill the enemy and capture Nanyang City, it may not be impossible."
"After all, Wang Zhiyuan is different now from before. He has made great achievements in Xiangyang City, and he can be considered a person with combat experience."
"Wang Zhiyuan?"
"Just him?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Wang Guobao jumped up and denied it. He absolutely could not accept that Wang Zhiyuan could lead troops to fight!
Even though I'm not good at you, you can never be better than me. This is the principle of Guobao Brother's life.
Sima Daozi was hesitant at first, but when he thought about the relationship between the national treasure and Wang Zhiyuan, he unconsciously agreed.
"That's true. Haven't you been very close to Wang Zhiyuan recently?"
"You should know best how capable that fellow is. Since you say it's impossible, it must be impossible."
"snort!"
"The imperial court cannot be bullied!"
"National treasure, you come to draw up the decree and pass the order, ordering Wang Zhiyuan and Huan Chong to return to the court quickly and meet the Holy Emperor!"
"I want them to explain it clearly!"
When the national treasure heard this, he was overjoyed.
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
He bowed and saluted, and Sima Daozi handed him a few pieces of tissue paper. He went back and forth, and if it looked like a bystander, it would even feel like a monarch and his ministers were working together.
Very good!
That guy Wang Zhiyuan is finally coming back from Nanyang!
Brother Guobao's conspiracy has achieved initial success. He doesn't know whether that guy lied, and he definitely can't tell who is in the hands of Nanyang City now.
However, there is one thing that Brother Guobao must try his best to accomplish.
We absolutely cannot let this guy stay in Jiangbei any longer!
He has strong soldiers in his hands and his appeal in the army is getting stronger and stronger. If he is allowed to continue to attack.
one!
Just one city!
Wang Zhiyuan's contribution may even surpass Xie Youdu's!
Let alone his royal treasure, even Xie Youdu, the champion general of Beifu, and his father-in-law, Wang Zhiyuan, would never be able to bear it!
The national treasure has always been a good fighter who is jealous of talents. How could he allow Wang Zhiyuan to attack cities in Jiangbei and win one victory after another with outstanding military exploits?
The national treasure held the drafted imperial edict and walked out of the side hall. A gust of breeze blew by, taking his thoughts away in an instant.
yes!
In Jiankang City, Wang Zhiyuan is not the only one who hates Wang Zhiyuan?
