Chapter 42: Emperor Huai's Helplessness and Distress

Emperor Huai had a hard time these two days.I don't know why this dragon chair just feels uncomfortable no matter how you sit on it...

Originally thought that once Sima Yue died, his good days would come. Unexpectedly, before I had been happy for a few days, another Huyanyan was killed from the north. After twelve big battles, the Jin army was completely defeated. There are more than 3 people in the army. This bloody defeat is the first defeat that Emperor Huai faced directly without Sima Yue's supervision. There is no thought at all...

What he is now holding is the memorial sent by Xun Xi, which has almost become his last straw. The reason why he hesitated before is because Xun Xi asked him to move the capital to Cangyuan (today's northeast of Kaifeng). Isn't this blackmailing the emperor to order the princes?Just got rid of Sima Yue, so why do you want to go to Xun Xi to be a puppet?Emperor Huai is not an idiot, but the current situation...

Emperor Huai looked at the ministers below, hesitated for a moment, and then asked everyone: "My dear friends, I received a memorial from the general Xun Xi saying that he had sent Zhonglang Liu Zeng with dozens of ships. Five hundred guards and one thousand hu grains (ten liters equal one dou, ten dou equals one hundred liters, equal to one hu) came to meet the emperor, what do you think should be done?"

Crown Prince Sima Quan and King Wu Xiao Sima Yan looked at each other with puzzlement and doubts in their eyes. Do they still want to be puppets? ?

Jingling King Sima Mao's eyes kept flickering...

Shangshu Lu Qiuchong slowly closed his eyes, thinking in his heart that this is the way to create chaos!Why!Why is the Sima royal family so troubled?

You Pushe Cao Fu and Henan Yin Liumo looked positive when they heard it, and immediately said that Xun Xi said that the sky is good and the earth is nothing.

Sima Quan felt sick to his stomach when he saw these two people, yes, you were treated well in the past, but my father's carriage has become a horse, how can there be the dignity of an emperor?Hey, Sima Quan glanced at Sima Yan, meaning to step forward to stop him together.

Seeing Sima Quan's eyes, Sima Yan stepped forward knowingly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xun Xi is known as "Uncle Tu. The former Taifu Sima Yue has always restrained him. Now Sima Yue has passed away, and there is no one in the world anymore." I can control this person, if Your Majesty is held hostage by him..."

When Sima Quan heard this, he also came out to remonstrate: "Father, what King Wu Xiao said is the truth, father! Although Sima Yue is domineering, after all, they are all named Sima, and they are all members of the same ancestor, but Xun Xi and What does Sima have to do with me?? Father!! Think twice!"

Emperor Huai listened to the heartfelt words of these two confidants, and agreed in his heart, but the current situation is like this, so what?Sometimes as long as you can survive and be a puppet, so what?It's not that I haven't done it...

Thinking of this, Emperor Huai was not in a hurry to make a decision, but patiently waited for the speeches of other ministers, hoping that there would be a better way to come out, and if he could not be a puppet, he would naturally not do it. There is really no way to talk about it...

Cao Fu and Liu Mo looked at each other, and they both kept their mouths shut. They didn't want to offend the prince right now, so let's see what other people said before taking action.

Sima Quan glanced at Sima Yan in admiration, and said in his heart: He deserves to be the upright guy who attacked Sima Lun (one of the Eight Kings Rebellion) together with his brother!

Seeing Sima Quan's gaze, Sima Yan's heart warmed up. It seems that this time the bet was right again, hehe, if it doesn't pass, Xun Xi is really looking for death. This man is ambitious and will stand on his own for a long time. At that time Where can we Sima have good fruit to eat?This old man Sima Yue is still very accurate in seeing people...

Just when everyone was hesitating, Jingling King Sima Mao walked out of the class, and also cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to Huangkouruzi's words."

Sima Quan was taken aback, Huangkou Ruzi?The youngest here is me, are you going to slander me?Hehe, okay, the prince wants to see what you, a sycophant, say? !

Cao Fu and Liu Mo were overjoyed, Luoyang had long been dilapidated, and they heard that cannibalism had started in the city, if they didn't leave, would they have to wait until those untouchables robbed their house? ?So these two people really looked forward to looking at Sima Mao, hoping that he could persuade the emperor.

Sima Zhuo completely ignored Sima Quan's gaze. In his opinion, how long Sima Quan could be the crown prince was still a question.

Sima Mao continued to say to Emperor Huai: "Your Majesty, do you know who Sima Yue is most afraid of? Xun Xi too!"

When Emperor Huai heard Sima Zhuo yelling at Sima Yue for being a man, he felt so relieved, smiled and nodded, signaling Sima Zhu to continue.

"Your Majesty, the world says that Xun Xi is mean and ungrateful, and even has the title of "Uncle Tu". In fact, this is all a misunderstanding of the world." What Sima Mao said was earth-shattering.

Sima Quan felt a little annoyed, and misunderstood!It's really not easy for this meme to be able to get along to this day!From the beginning, he followed Yang Jun, the treacherous official during Emperor Wu's period, then Sima Lun, Sima Jiong (these two were also one of the eight kings), Sima Ying (one of the eight kings), and then followed Emperor Hui to the expedition, and then took refuge in Sima Yue, It can be said that where the wind blows, it will fall wherever it blows. The best flattering skills in the world, no matter who you have been with or what bad things you have done, he can be safe and sound, and he has been promoted all the way. You think this person is not simple!

Sima Yan also shook his head, this old boy is too good at talking, Xun Xi will be misunderstood, hehe, what a joke in the world!

Sima Mao talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of my minister, Xun Xi is good at handling official affairs. He reviews piles of official documents and books like running water. No one dares to fool him. Sima Yue tried to pretend to be sworn brothers with him several times. None of the brothers succeeded, so it can be seen that he is well aware of Sima Yue's wolf ambitions, so he has been secretly keeping in touch with His Majesty, which also shows his loyal heart."

Emperor Huai still didn't make a sound after hearing this, because Emperor Huai knew that the reason why Xun Xi wanted to get close to him was because he wanted to bring down Sima Yue.It's just mutual use of each other, what kind of bullshit loyalty, but Emperor Huai still listened to Sima Mao's speech quietly, but didn't express anything.

Seeing that Emperor Huai remained calm, Sima Mao was a little anxious, but he continued unhurriedly: "I also heard that his aunt came to seek refuge with him, and he supported her generously. It can be seen that He is deeply filial, someone who can be entrusted to, and never bends the law for personal gain."

"Well, it's right to put filial piety first in life."Emperor Huai said that his eyes were unknowingly like a glance in the direction of Prince Sima Quan.

Sima Quan suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and thought: Father, why are you suspicious again!Now that the enemy is at hand, he is still listening to Sima Mao's nonsense!Why!

"Weichen heard that Xun Xi's aunt's son asked Xun Xi to be a general, but Xun Xi refused, saying: "I won't use the laws of the country as favors. If you become an official and break the law in my hands, won't you regret it? "The aunt's son still insisted on being a military officer, so Xun Xi made him a supervisor. Later, the aunt's son broke the law, and Xun Xi wanted to kill him according to the law. The aunt kowtowed to Xun Xi, begging to forgive her son, and Xun Xi Xi refused to listen. After killing his aunt's son, Xun Xi wore white mourning clothes to mourn him, and said with tears, "The person who killed you was the governor of Yanzhou, and the person who cried for my brother was Xun Xi. "Xun Xi's law enforcement is so strict."

Sima Quan couldn't help but brighten his eyes when he heard this, he was so ruthless, not only established his prestige, but also blocked the mouths of the world, no wonder Sima Yue wanted to be so guarded against Xun Xi, it was really not easy, if he really went to Xun Xi, Hey, the consequences are disastrous, another Cao Cao?

Emperor Huai's eyes also brightened, and he thought: If Xun Xi really abides by the law like this, or if everything is done out of a public heart as Sima Zhu said, then it seems that he really hates Sima Yue's arrogance and rudeness to me. He is indeed a loyal minister!

Sima Mao noticed that the emperor's attitude had wavered, and continued to add embellishment: "Your Majesty, in today's world, the bandits of the Han Kingdom have plundered near the imperial city, and the only ones who can resist them are Liu Kun in the north, Wang Jun in the east, and Xun Xi in the east. These are just a few people, but Liu Kun and Wang Jun are separated by the Han Kingdom, and only Xun Xi is next to him, and we can only rely on Xun Xi. I feel that for a law-abiding person like Xun Xi, His Majesty can only go to Xun Xi It is safe there, and as long as your Majesty and the ministers work hard together, we will be able to revive the Sima Dynasty! Become the master of Zhongxing, when Wu has Xunxi, Wen has ministers, etc., why is the world so unfair??!!!”

Emperor Huai's courage, which had been frightened by the Huns a long time ago, seems to have returned. Think about it, too. Xun Xi fought against the Hu captives in Yanzhou. Once he arrived at Xun Xi's place, Liu Kun and Wang Jun were also close. I have a way to let Liu Kun and Wang Jun know my situation and help me if I have the heart of disobedience. I don’t hesitate anymore when I think of Emperor Huai. I already have the heart to run away. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Luqiu Chong, who had been silent all this time, stand up...

As soon as Sima Mao saw Luqiu rushing out of the shift to report, he panicked, this person is going to do something bad!

Cao Fu and Liu Mo saw that Emperor Huai was moved, and they were overjoyed, but when they saw that Lu Qiuchong wanted to speak, they also became anxious, but it was hard to stop, Luqiuchong is not someone else but a famous celebrity today , is a master in the literary world, both of us have to call him a teacher when we see him, what should we do? ?

Sima Quan was overjoyed, okay, I don't know what Lu Gong has to say?

Lu Qiuchong said slowly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten how Cao Cao coaxed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to go to Xudu? Did Cao Cao not strictly enforce the law? It was also such rhetoric, and all the officials agreed, but what happened?"

Lu Qiuchong took a deep look at Sima Mao, stretched out his fingers and scolded Sima Mao angrily: "A loyal minister does not serve as the second master, how many masters have you Sima Mao followed??? You still want to be a slave with three surnames now (During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei scolded Lu Bu for being ungrateful, constantly betraying his former master in order to seek wealth, and calling him a slave with three surnames because he followed three masters)? And you Cao Fu, Liu Mo, you two still have celebrities Is it a festival?!"

Sima Zhuo, Cao Fu and Liu Mo all blushed but did not dare to say anything. This old man was really highly respected. At that time, Sima Yue asked all the talented and obedient princes and ministers to go with him. Only this Luqiu Chong refused to leave. He is the real royal party, and he is a pillar of the literary world, no one dares to offend.

Sima Quan was very grateful when he heard Lu Qiuchong's blunt rebuke, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at the old man.

Emperor Huai became hesitant again when he heard Lu Qiuchong's words, looked at Lu Qiuchong helplessly and said: "Bin Qing, I know what you said is right, but the situation is stronger than others, the Huns are about to kill Luoyang I have no choice but to go, where should I go if I don’t go to Xun Xi?”

Lu Qiuchong was at a loss for words for a while, it's trivial to ask Lu Zhongqiu to talk about allusions and recite a few poems, but it's difficult to ask him to give advice, especially on national affairs.

Emperor Huai looked at Lu Zhongqiu with a dazed face, not knowing how to answer, suddenly bored in his heart, and glanced at the servant beside him, the meaning in his eyes was that he was about to face down.

The servant hurriedly shouted to the ministers: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace!"

When everyone heard that the emperor was going back to the palace, they didn't know what to say for a moment. They could only wait for the emperor to leave and continue to argue with each other, attacking and accusing each other, but no one could come up with a good idea, and the court was in chaos. lump...

Emperor Huai's chariot slowly walked towards his bedroom, and a person suddenly flashed in Emperor Huai's heart, only to hear, Emperor Huai muttered to himself in words that only he could hear: "Sima Yue is dead, Mingyue also went with Sima Yue's team. I don't know what happened. What if it falls into the hands of the barbarians? I still want to find it and raise it for a few years before enjoying it. Hey, wait until I go to Xun Xi's and take it slowly Look for it, um, what should I do if I get caught by the barbarians, I'm so worried..."

Seeing the unnatural tightening of the emperor's shoulders, a personal servant of the entourage knew that the emperor was thinking of a woman, and sighed secretly: If the ancestors of the Sima family knew that their descendants were in danger in the country, the capital city would When I was about to fall, I was still thinking about women. I wondered if I would jump out of the coffin... It seems that I have to talk to the other father-in-laws in the palace about the way out. The barbarians are coming in soon, the emperor is unreliable ...
