Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

Seeing her husband so busy every day, she couldn't bear it and wanted to do something for him within her ability.

Xie Jun put his arms around his wife, smiled with his bright eyes, and said, "Oh? Ping'er wants to hear it?"

Luo Qin nodded and looked at him with her moist peach blossom eyes, "I want to listen."

Xie Yun smiled, "It's nothing, actually. Apart from rebuilding Jiankang, there is another matter, that is, a minister proposed to move the capital."

"Move the capital?" Luo Qin was curious.

"Yes." Xie Yun nodded, "The group of new nobles from the south want to propose moving the capital further south."

"Isn't this not good?"

This was not a good thing for the aristocratic families who had taken root in Jiankang. When they went to the south, they found that the land there had basically been occupied by the southern gentry, as well as the industries.

Those of them from the north would be at a disadvantage if they went there.

"Bo'an, do the Wang and Xie families agree to move the capital?" Luo Qin asked.

Xie Yun said without hesitation: "Of course they don't agree. Because of this, the Jiankang family and the new nobles in the south quarreled in the court."

Luo Qin could already imagine the scene.

"What do the nobles in the south say?"

"They said that it was far away from the Five Barbarians, safe, and rich in resources. The people there had a good life, which was much better than the north where resources were scarce."

Indeed, what he said makes sense. The climate in the south has abundant rainfall and high temperature, which is more suitable for growing crops.

"But it wouldn't be good if the capital was too far to the south," Luo Qin said.

"Oh? What do you think, Ping'er?" Xie Yun became interested.

"It's all good advice, but it's just my humble opinion. I personally think that if the capital is too far away from the northern border, it will be difficult to manage the border, and it will be even more difficult to resist the Five Barbarians. We Han people have lost enough land. If we move south again, won't it boost the morale of the Barbarians so that they can take more land in one fell swoop?"

There is still a war in the north. If we migrate south at this time, isn't this telling the Xianbei and the Huns that we, the Great Jin, are afraid and have no choice but to hide?

It would be fine if the capital of the Jin Dynasty moved northward. Luoyang was a good choice, but it was too close to the Xianbei and the Huns and was easily attacked. Overall, Jiankang had a perfect geographical location.

Xie Yun sighed after hearing this, "Even Ping'er knows this truth, but some people still don't understand it."

No, to be precise, it’s not that they don’t understand, they are just afraid of death.

The gentry soon became a group of parasites who only cared about pleasure. Seeing that Jiankang was almost lost, they all wanted to run away and find a comfortable place to continue enjoying themselves.

The southern nobles made such a proposal because they had already taken control of the south and moved the capital there, which meant they had the final say, which was very beneficial to their family.

The noble families in Jiankang have no roots there, so they would be at a disadvantage if they went there. They couldn't go in the first place. And some useless people in Jiankang actually agreed to this proposal. Xie Yun got angry just thinking about it.

Now that I think about it, the Yu family was actually quite good. They were a bit arrogant, but they were really capable in military affairs. They made great military achievements for the Jin Dynasty and drove away the Xiongnu and Xianbei many times.

Unfortunately, he finally fell...

When Luo Qin thought of Yu Bai, the high-spirited young man, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Now that his family has fallen, his future will be difficult.

"Oh, by the way," Luo Qin raised his head and looked at Xie Yun, "Boan, isn't the death of Su Ji... too strange?"

Although there were similar real events in history in Luo Qin's original world, Luo Qin still felt that they were too fantastic.

How could a rebel leader get drunk and go to the enemy camp to act crazy? Didn't anyone around him try to stop him? Everyone around him was dead?

No, this only means that there must be spies around him who instigated him to seek death.

"Bo'an, is there anyone around Su Ji? For example...that person?" Luo Qin emphasized the word "that person".

Xie Jun lowered his eyes and saw his wife's mysterious look. He just found it funny and couldn't help kissing her cheek. "What are you thinking about?"

Luo Qin snuggled in Xie Yun's arms and shook his arm, "Is that so? Tell me?"

Xie Yun's eyes curved, and he smiled lovingly, "Yes."

"Really?" Luo Qin was slightly stunned, surprised but not surprised.

Xie Yun suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Ping'er guessed correctly. Su Ji did have a counselor named Ran Xin by his side, and Su Ji's rebellion was instigated by him."

"What about Su Ji's death?"

"Same thing." Xie Yun nodded. "When Ran Xin saw that Jiankang had not received any reinforcements, he told Su Ji that they would win this battle and welcomed Su Ji to be crowned king in advance. He then praised Su Ji for his bravery and military prowess. When Su Ji heard this, he really felt that he had accomplished something great. He drank several bowls of wine and, under Ran Xin's instigation, took a small group of people and went to the Jin army to show off his talents. You know the result."

"Oh, I was stupid enough to kill myself." Luo Qin was speechless, "So, Ran Xin is...?"

"I guess he is from that family, otherwise why would Ran Xin disappear without a trace after Su Ji died?"

"Ah? Really? This is too much! In order to get rid of the Yu family, he created this civil strife and so many people died. He is not worthy of being a king..."

"Shh, shh, shh." Xie Jun immediately covered his wife's mouth to stop her from cursing angrily.

Luo Qin shut up immediately, but his eyes were still angry.

Seeing that Luo Qin stopped talking, Xie Yun let go and whispered: "Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Their aristocratic family dares to place spies in the imperial palace. Wouldn't the emperor also place spies in the aristocratic families' mansions?
