Sima Daozi's lips trembled, and he suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face turned pale.
"Why are you back?"
"Liu Laozhi!"
"He is indeed unreliable!"
Although Sima Daozi's head was filled with confusion, when he saw this situation, he immediately understood what the alliance between Beifu and King Langya was about?
They are all lies!
Sima Daozi could have struggled a little longer, but when he saw Wang Mi, he was completely unable to move.
This Liu Laozhi, if he was asked to support King Langya, it would be better for him to go and support the Wang family of Langya!
Is this a thing?
Zeng Jing jumped onto the branch with a single movement of his legs. Next, Sima Daozi became the prey in his hands. His speed and agility were simply breathtaking.
"It would be great if I had such a master under my command!" Wang Gong sighed.
This time it really comes from the heart.
"Wang Pushe has done a great job this time. If you want someone with such strong martial arts skills, you might as well go to the private sector to find one."
"To be honest, I have caught up. In fact, there are not many masters in Beifuzhong who are very capable of fighting alone."
"The army fights as a team. In fact, soldiers with superior personal martial arts skills are not particularly popular."
"On the contrary, there are many folk artists with good skills."
"You're right."
Sima Daozi was finally pushed down from the tree by Zeng Jing. During this period, he was noisy and kept talking.
Wang Mi didn't care, since he wouldn't be able to dance for long anyway, so while his mouth could still follow instructions, it wouldn't hurt to say a few more words.
This is his last chance.
"Zhiyuan, do you have any ideas on how to deal with King Langya?"
If Wang Zhiyuan had not arrived in time, perhaps Wang Gong would have handled the matter himself, and once the news had passed, he could find an opportunity to get rid of Sima Daozi.
But, now it happened to happen.
Then we have to discuss it.
Fortunately, Wang Gong was somewhat confident in his heart. This dear friend, he was screaming one after another when they met just now. It was definitely not without intention.
It was just to show that he had recognized Wang Gong's status as the most powerful official.
Hurrah!
After settling Xie An, Wang Zhiyuan took the initiative to express goodwill. His spring is really coming!
At this moment, Wang Gong quietly added Wang Mi to the list of good friends again. He only felt that because he had been in the court all these years, Wang Mi was not his friend in vain.
So much quality!
After all, Wang Gong is already a veteran in the imperial court. His official career has reached this day, and he is almost inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
The perfect peak.
It is impossible for a person in this position to do anything or make friends with anyone without adding a color of interest.
Those who are of use to me and who share common interests and hobbies with me and are sincere and sincere are naturally the best. Even if it is just a combination of interests, it doesn't matter.
However, those so-called friends who cannot provide benefits to Wang Gong can only maintain the friendship between gentlemen as water.
Obviously, Wang Zhiyuan is a very useful talent now.
And such a talented person actually showed his kindness to him. How could Wang Gong not accept it?
"I don't think it's too far away, but for now, of course I still have to keep it."
"As for what happened in the Xianyang Palace and the truth about the sudden collapse of Emperor Daxing, I think our Highness King Langya must know more than we do."
"We should at least pry the words out of his mouth before making other plans."
Wang Gong nodded, very helpless.
After all, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were still an era where family background was important. It was not easy for subordinates to kill the royal family.
It's okay to go all out in one go, but now, since you haven't hit the target in one hit, you will definitely face the fate of decline again.
Sima Daozi was quite proud, at least his life was saved tonight.
"Report!"
Just as the two were about to board the car and leave, the sentry in front who was responsible for investigating the situation suddenly ran over.
"Pushe, the minister, searched the entire palace, but Sun Tai was not found."
"Not found?" Wang Gong was a little dumbfounded.
Although he had already expected this outcome, he still had a little fantasy that maybe he would still be lucky.
Sun Tai, as an old man, where can he go?
such a pity!
God does not fulfill man's wishes.
"My subordinates searched the entire palace, looking up and down, but they couldn't see the figure of the evil spirit."
"We captured several of his disciples and interrogated them. These people said that Yaodao seems to have no followers around him at present, and his nephew also died in Jingkou. Therefore, the subordinates judged that he should be their own
Escaped."
Did you run alone?
This is interesting.
is it possible?
This soldier is also very good at doing things. He was sent out by Wang Gong, but when he came back, he saw Wang Zhiyuan and took him with him.
With just one brief sentence, he left a good impression on the two ministers.
"Zhiyuan, now it seems we can only intensify the search and arrest efforts."
"But, he ran into the city and it's really hard to find him."
This is true. After all, Sun Tai still has a certain degree of influence in the city. His followers are widely spread. Although these people may not have the courage to help him start a rebellion, it is very possible to harbor him.
Moreover, he is the only one who can come and go as he pleases, and basically won't make any big noise. It is not easy to find an old man with mysterious whereabouts and scheming in the huge city of Jiankang.
If he is not careful and lets him sneak out of the city, he will leave a big disaster behind!
…………
Although Sun Tai ran away, Sima Daozi was captured on the spot.
For the imperial court, this was already a major victory.
Not to mention, although it caused a certain amount of chaos, overall it was still within control.
Moreover, this chaos was quickly calmed down, which was a great blessing.
Next, for Wang Gong, reviving Chaogang is his focus. On the other hand, Wang Mi, who hurried back from Beifu, naturally has no need to return to Beifu again.
Is your butt still hot from sitting?
Is it okay to just go back like this?
So, after calming Wang Gong's mind, Wang Mi took over another major matter for himself.
As a member of the Jin Dynasty royal family, even if you are caught, you should enjoy no less treatment.
After coming out of the palace, Sima Daozi was escorted all the way to Jianchun Palace.
Originally, it was okay to lock him up in the palace, but there were still many dead bodies waiting to be disposed of. Wang Mi thought about it and still didn't want too many people to know about it.
If you want to keep it a secret, of course it would be more appropriate to keep it in the palace.
Once the palace door is closed, find two reliable people to guard it to ensure that not a single fly can escape.
Now, the death of Sima Yao is what Wang Mi is most concerned about. Understanding this matter will also be beneficial to dealing with Sima Daozi.
"Wei Chen has met the king."
In Jianchun Palace, perhaps because he knew that his time was short, Sima Daozi did not calm down at all just because he was caught, but instead became more tormented.
Not only did he ask the young eunuchs to prepare meals for him, but he also drank a full jar of wine.
If it hadn't been too late, he would have even wanted to find a group of singers and dancers to entertain him.
When Wang Mi entered the palace, he was holding a wine jar, drinking beautifully!
"How did you come?"
"Where's Wang Aning?"
"Why don't we both come together?"
"I'll just give you a knife and you two will kill me!"
"come!"
"Do it!"
Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. Now Sima Daozi is completely defeated and has nothing. He is willing to fight for it!
He was eager to arouse Wang Mi's anger and let him kill him with one blow. In this case, it would be difficult for him, Wang Mi, to gain a good reputation in the history books in the future.
The crime of killing a noble relative of the previous dynasty will always be with him, and he cannot get rid of it!
He jumped in front of Wang Mi, danced very well, sang and made noise.
such a pity.
He was facing Wang Mi instead of Wang Gong, and Wang Mi was originally a man who came from China. Is there anyone in the Jin Dynasty who is more barefoot than him?
"Your Majesty, please stop bothering me."
"After all, he is still King Langya, so he should pay attention to his dignity."
"Decent?"
hehe!
"What dignity do you have now?"
"Can you still care about that?"
"I advise you to do whatever you want to do as soon as possible and don't delay. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to you."
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
Wang Mi thought for a while. He seemed to have heard this sentence not long ago. Who was it from?
correct!
Where is Yang Ding!
And this miserable Yang Ding was once the target of provocation by Sima Daozi. I wonder how Yang Ding, who also lives in Wuyi Lane, would feel after experiencing the chaos tonight?
Sima Daozi did not welcome him, but Wang Mi didn't care. He poured himself a glass of wine and sat down.
"Your Majesty, where is Sun Tai?"
"We searched the entire palace and didn't see him at all. Could it be that he abandoned you and ran away in advance?"
If we want to investigate Sun Tai's whereabouts, Sima Daozi may be the only insider at present.
"Sun Tai?"
"Didn't he go and command his followers?"
"He is no longer in the palace a long time ago."
"But haven't you caught him?"
Sima Daozi's expression looked very angry. I was caught like a monkey, but Sun Tai could actually run away?
That’s not true!
I've been arrested, how can I let this old boy roam free?
I can't take this breath!
"What did you do?"
"You know how to bully me, but you can't even catch an old man!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, he will be caught eventually. The inside and outside of Jiankang City are now tightly guarded by us, so he can't escape."
Oh, if he can't run away, that means I can't run away either.
Sima Daozi's little heart suddenly felt cold.
"Tell me, what else do you want to know?"
Huh?
What's going on?
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Wang Mi was stunned.
Just now he had a posture of refusing to cooperate even if he was beaten to death, but now he was suddenly so calm. Could it be that Sima Daozi had lost his nerve in the tree?
Finely divided?
"How did Emperor Daxing die?"
"Is Sun Tai the one behind this?"
However, since Sima Daozi was willing to give him a chance, Wang Mi would certainly not waste it.
"Sun Tai?"
"Why do you think so?"
Judging from Sima Daozi's confused expression, you can tell that he has no knowledge of this matter.
It turned out that everything was just as he suspected, and Sima Daozi was just a poor man who was being taken advantage of.
However, who can blame this?
It’s not that he himself is brainless and ambitious.
For people like Sima Daozi, there would still be Li Tai without Sun Tai. Liu Tai is waiting to take advantage of him, so he is an obvious target.
It's really tempting.
Any smart person who doesn't make use of him feels like it's a waste of resources.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you have no knowledge of this matter?"
"certainly!"
"Didn't the eldest brother be killed by Zhang Guiren?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"However, Zhang Guiren said that she had no intention of harming His Majesty. Her medicinal powder was stolen from Mrs. Pei."
"I don't need to tell you who introduced Mrs. Pei."
"Pei Jiao'er?"
"you sure?"
This was really big news, completely beyond Sima Daozi's expectation. He was so shocked that his whole body became energetic.
"Of course."
"When the noble man grabbed Mrs. Pei that day, Wang Pushe was also present, and Eunuch Yuanbao was also present. Everyone can prove it."
"Your Majesty, if you don't know about this matter, then I can only regretfully tell you that you have been taken advantage of by Sun Tai!"
"In the name of supporting you, he is making his own plans. Your Majesty may really have the intention to usurp the throne, but he is not necessarily eager to get rid of His Majesty."
"However, Sun Tai did this in advance."
"Moreover, according to Zhang Guiren, she stole the medicinal powder from Mrs. Pei a long time ago, but she never found a chance to use it."
"In my opinion, Sun Tai must have laid out this situation early. He has been pushing the king forward."
"Placing spies around His Majesty and secretly committing murderous attacks. Could it be that he is really thinking about His Majesty when he does so many things without telling His Majesty in advance?"
"I think he is paving the way for himself to become emperor!"
Wang Mi muttered a lot, but Sima Daozi couldn't understand much, but this last sentence touched his heart.
It was not for him, Sima Daozi, to become the emperor, it was all for him to become the emperor!
Who can't afford to be early if there is no profit?
Especially someone like Sun Tai who is obsessed with profit.
And he, Sima Daozi, was just a springboard on the road to Sun Tai's great cause!
The most important thing is that although Wang Mi didn't say it explicitly, he was also reminding Sima Daozi that Sun Tai's method of removing obstacles was definitely to kill him.
He can kill Sima Yao, and one day he can also kill Sima Daozi.
Perhaps, he is preparing now that Sima Daozi, the emperor, cannot sit firmly at all.
As for why Sun Tai has such unrealistic ideas, this is not something that a normal person like Wang Mi can figure out.
Why do you still do something if it is obvious that it cannot be successful?
Even if the old Sima family is eradicated, what will happen if Sun Tai controls the throne?
Will anyone be loyal to him?
Even though there are several court ministers among his disciples, these ministers will never sacrifice their own family interests because of him.
Who is Sun Tai?
You are a white person with no roots and no leaves. Why should the children of other aristocratic families obey your orders?
Furthermore, even if some local generals are willing to follow him, their power is scattered and not strong.
No matter what, with the Huan clan from Qiaojun guarding Jingzhou, and the Beifu soldiers standing firm in Jiankang, Sun Tai can't change the world!
