Royal road

In just one month, Wang Dun's army invaded Stone City.This is the western fortress of Jianye, only half a step away from the royal city.Sima Rui was in a hurry and recruited Liu Kun, Dai Yuan, Diao Xie and others to send troops to conquer, but they were defeated by Wang Dun one by one.Seeing that the six armies were defeated and the emperor was at a loss what to do, Wang Dun did not immediately march into Jianye, but stuck to the stone city and sent troops to plunder.All the officials in the court were horrified and fled one after another.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Sima Rui had no choice but to sue for peace with his low figure, and sent Director Wang to persuade him.

When the two brothers met again, they were different from the past.

"Sima Xiaoer already has the heart to get rid of my Langya Wang family, Maohong, do you still want to protect this person?" Wang Dun was full of anger when he saw Director Wang.

Before he wrote a letter to refute Director Wang, Sima Rui had no intention of obeying him at all, and instead appointed Yu Liang and other cronies.It is precisely because of this that Wang Dun made up his mind to attack Jianye.Fortunately, Sima Rui was already unable to support him, and his cousin even wanted to talk about it.Could it be that he regards the Sima family more than his family?

Looking at the angry cousin, Director Wang just sighed softly: "Brother has captured Jianye now and seized the throne. Just don't think about it, will someone treat my Langya Wang family like this in the future?"

Wang Dun was a bit speechless when he said this.That's right, their brothers are the heroes who supported Sima Rui, and now they have the heart to usurp the throne in just a few years.In the future, when my family ascends to the throne, how many people will be eyeing it, thinking about rebellion?

Seeing that Wang Dun listened to the words, Director Wang said again: "Brother, I always think that the position of Ninth Five-Year is too expensive, but I don't know what year it is now? Maybe in the future when the Northern Army goes south, the first one to confess his life will be the one What's more, the dispute between the north and the south is worrying, the head of Guizhou is in dire straits, there are frequent riots, and the treasury has long since bottomed out. Can the king clan of Langya really prosper after taking the throne? I'm afraid that in the end, there won't even be a whole corpse left behind."

These words are reasonable, but Wang Dun cursed bitterly: "If you back down, will Sima let me wait? When you are expelled from the center and I have been deprived of military power, my Wang family will still let others go." Slaughter? Sima Rui can no longer stay! It would be better than today if you change the emperor!"

Director Wang was expressionless, and suddenly asked, "How is brother compared to Emperor Xuan?"

This is not denying or agreeing, but just pointing out a person.Jin Xuan Emperor Sima Yi.

Even though Sima Yi was talented and ambitious, he never did anything during his lifetime.It was this kind of forbearance that allowed the Sima family to replace the Cao family.But now that the Wang family has been able to "share the world" with the Sima family, why bother to show their swords and guns and put themselves at a disadvantage?

Wang Dao is a first-class talker, with unparalleled eloquence.In just one sentence, Wang Dun hesitated and pondered for a long time before he said: "Today is no better than the previous dynasty. The Central Plains fell, the capital moved to the south, and those who were willing to attach themselves to the Sima family are far inferior to the Cao family back then. Even the Liang thieves dared to come here. I don’t know how many hearts have been changed by the establishment of a country in the Northland. How dare I ignore it?”

This is not wrong.Nowadays, good and bad people are mixed in the southern land, and it is unknown how many people have ulterior motives.Just one country of Zhao made Sima's country crumbling.At this time, if they really retreat, will they be able to keep the status of Langya Wang Clan?

But Director Wang refused to budge: "If you act urgently, you will end up in disaster."

After staring at his cousin for a while, Wang Dun finally let go: "Forget it. I can take it easy, but the position of prime minister must be in my hands."

As long as Wang Dun is willing to take this step back, things will be easy to talk about.Director Wang also heaved a sigh of relief: "I will return to the court and report back to His Majesty."

Will Sima Rui agree?This issue is not considered by the two brothers.The Langya Wang family will not delegate power, as for how to seize the law, we have to explain it in detail.

A few days later, a decree came from the court.Sima Rui made Wang Dun the prime minister, the governor of Jiangzhou, and the Duke of Wuchang.Seeing the emperor's concession, Wang Dunshi led the troops into Beijing.Then he ordered to kill Dai Yuan, Zhou Wei, and Diao Xie, and drove Liu Kun to Jiaozhou.For a time, the court of the Jin Kingdom was in turmoil.Faced with such headstrong officials, many people began to think about the way out.

"Someone has dedicated the city again." Opening the memorial, Liang Feng smiled slightly when he saw the news.

Wang Dun's rebellion really shocked the state of Jin.Several cities near the Huai River, no longer at the two ends of the mouse, chose to take refuge in Da Zhao.

There is really no other way.The appearance of Wang Dun, a powerful minister, made the families see the situation clearly.Langya Wang's prestige has surpassed Sima's.If Wang Dun really usurped the throne, those who had served Sima would inevitably be purged.Those who moved to the north had nowhere to escape, or the scholars who were rooted in Jiangdong were nothing more than that.Those who live on both sides of the Huai River must make up their minds as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is to open up territories and recover lost land; on the other hand, there are endless civil strife, and powerful officials are in power.How to choose, do I need to say more?Therefore, the surrender of Xiancheng has become the mainstream recently, and the number of people who crossed the river with them has increased by [-]%.

As for Wang Dun's rebellion, it should have failed in history.But in this time and space, it's really hard to say.After all, with his "role model" there, the original "different heart" may also grow stronger, turning Jiang Dong into a different look.

This was what Liang Feng hoped for the most.The South Expedition is a matter of time, but the later the better.Not only must the north be pacified, but it must also accumulate enough strength before it can send troops south.What he wants to fight is the war of destroying the country, not another Chibi.

Therefore, in comparison, for the current strategy, Shu is much more important than Jiangnan.However, Yizhou, where the land of Shu is located, is now being occupied by Li Te, a Di man, and it is not easy to fight.It's better to calm down the surrounding area first, and then slowly map it.

While thinking about the established strategy, while flipping through the memorial, Liang Feng stopped suddenly when he saw a name.Huan Yi?He is not familiar with this name, but there are really not many gentry with the surname "Huan" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Let someone check, who is this Huan Yi? Does the family have any heirs?" Liang Feng ordered.

After a while, someone reported back.Huan Yi was born in Longkang, Qiao State, and was the ninth grandson of Huan Rong, a master of Confucian classics in the Han Dynasty.He has outstanding talent and learning, and is good at talking about mysteries, so he is known as "Jiangzuo Bada".This time, because of Wang Dun's rebellion, the whole family voted for Zhao.Now there is only one young son in the family, named Huan Wen.

"Huan Wen..." Liang Feng laughed.This is a very famous person.

It seems that Huan Yi can also be reused.See his son, also see his father.Just like Xie Kun and Xie Po, they are both first-rate in knowledge and knowledge.It's no wonder that the Xie family in Chenjun can rise up suddenly, as famous as the Langya Wang family, and give birth to such a romantic figure as Xie An.But in comparison, Liang Feng still prefers Huan Wen.After all, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were not many generals who dared to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

As for ambition.The Eastern Jin Dynasty could not surrender, but he might not be unable to use it.Maybe he is a general who can assist Rong'er.

In addition to this doll, Xie Shang from the Xie family, Xie An who was not yet born, and Wang Meng who might not be blown away by the butterfly wings.It's nothing more than that when the heroes of the world fall into my trap.As long as these people grow up smoothly, there will be no shortage of famous ministers and generals around Rong'er and even Yu'er.

It's just that these people are still young.There is one more thing, I have to leave it to Rong'er...

The Shigan Hall at night is colder and more empty than during the day.Leaning on the imperial couch, Liang Feng suddenly said, "I'm afraid it will take ten years before the world is stable. I don't know if I can live until then..."

"The Lord is just in the prime of life, why did you say that?" Yi Yan turned over suddenly, and tightly grasped Liang Feng's hand.

Liang Feng hooked his fingertips, and pinched the opponent's palm: "I just thought of it suddenly. I'm six years older than you, so I will always take the first step."

He is now nearly forty years old, no matter how well maintained he is, there are lines in the corners of his eyes, and his physical strength and energy are declining year by year.And the man in front of him had a clean chin and tight shoulders. Apart from his calm demeanor, there was no sign of aging at all, and he was still young and high-spirited.This difference, I am afraid, will become bigger and bigger with age.Even if he dies, he may not be able to outlive the person in front of him.

"My lord is like heaven, I will die and bury him!" Yi Yan said sharply, holding Liang Feng's hand tightly.

"Ridiculous!" Liang Feng sat up and straightened his face, "Life is precious, how can I throw it away because of others? Even if I am a foolish king, I can't let my confidant general die!"

"Without my lord, how can I live alone?" Yi Yan's breathing became heavy.Busy with state affairs these years, the lord's health is not as good as before.Seeing him thin and tired, how can Yiyan not feel anxious?This thought, in fact, circled in the bottom of my heart countless times.Even when the construction of the imperial mausoleum started two years ago, he didn't dare to look at it.

Looking at the man's stubborn expression, Liang Feng sighed softly: "This country is what I have been attached to all my life. If I really go first, I want you to guard it for me and help Rong'er secure his position."

The inheritance of the throne is very important to a dynasty.Therefore, the choice of Gu Ming's important minister is related to the overall situation.He wanted one person to help Liang Rong hold the army, so that the troops belonged and the hearts of the people wanted them.This person can only be Yiyan.It must also be Yiyan.

"My lord will surely live a long life, why think about this now?" Yi Yan's throat choked, "Isn't it going to take ten years to settle down? My lord can build some gardens and build a palace. I don't write more memorials every day. , hunting and boating, listening to songs and dancing. There are officials in the court, and soldiers on the front line, who can always help the lord to share her worries..."

Liang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're slandering me. It's not an act of a loyal minister."

"Then I will not be a loyal minister! As long as the lord is in good health..."

Yiyan was about to say something else, but Liang Feng stretched out his sleeves and held him in his arms: "Don't panic, I'm still fine. It's just that if there comes a day, I want to wait for you in the tomb. Wait for you Tell me that the country is stable and the prosperity is beginning. This was laid down by you and me, and it should be guarded by you and me..."

The body in his arms was the same as in the past, soft yet tenacious, like pine and bamboo, it seemed that he would never be able to bend.Yiyan didn't want to promise, didn't want to promise, didn't want to let him go.But if that day really comes, he will not let the Lord down.

With a dull pain in his chest, Yiyan closed his eyes and leaned on the opponent's shoulder.The two are like birds, neck to neck.
