Chapter 782
The assassination of Sima Jun had a great impact on the emperor and ministers of Yecheng.

Sima You's power was hit hard.

At the same time, it is also a warning to those who support Sima You. If even Sima Jun is killed, who else can't?

The eyes of everyone looking at Sima Yan changed.

It's nothing to be cruel to others, but it's also so cruel to people in your own family. The Sima family has once again refreshed people's perceptions.

"Uncle!" In the court hall, Sima Yan cried desperately, "The Qin thief used such despicable means to harm my dearest relatives, what is the law? What is the law? I and the Qin thief are incompatible!"

Sima Yan cried like a tearful person, but Sima You didn't shed a single tear, his face was gloomy.

At this time in the past, Jia Chong would continue the conversation immediately, but at this time he was indifferent.

He didn't make a sound, and the others didn't dare to answer casually.

If the flattery is not photographed, but the horse's leg is photographed, the problem will be serious.

In some occasions, flattering requires qualifications, and the right time, place and people are indispensable.

No matter how good a little Xiami flatters, the people above may not take it seriously.

The hall suddenly became deserted, the water in Sima's house was a bit deep, and most people dare not go into the water easily.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, silent as if chilling.

If there is no one to cooperate with the acting, it will be impossible to continue acting no matter what.

Sima Yan's expression gradually became stiff, and the atmosphere changed from cold to embarrassing.

"My condolences, Your Majesty, at this moment, state affairs should be the most important thing." Sima Yan's dog leg, He Shao, cupped his hands.

Feng Wei glanced at Jia Chong, and said cautiously: "Qin thieves are despicable and shameless, rare in the world, and haven't been seen in 300 years. Your Majesty should make it known to the world, so that all people in the world will be united in hatred and united, and the Qin thieves can be defeated!"

This is what Sima Yan was waiting for, and wiped away his tears, "Ai Qing's words are true! Where is Zhang Hua, the servant of the Huangmen?"

Zhang Hua squeezed out from behind, "The minister is here."

"Issuing a call to action to denounce the Qin thieves, let the world know how cruel and despicable the Qin thieves are!"

"Minister—lead the decree." Zhang Hua has outstanding literary talents and gorgeous rhetoric. He has always been favored by Sima Yan, but because of his poor background, lack of qualifications, and lack of background, he has been unable to get in.

Of course, it will be almost the same after another ten years.

Zhang Hua originally thought so too.

But recently, because of his close relationship with Sima You, he was left out by Sima Yan. The Qin Army's Eastern Expedition is imminent, and the Jin Dynasty's court is still addicted to internal fighting, which makes Zhang Hua very cold.

There is no need to think about who killed Sima Jun.

I'm afraid that even a three-year-old child in Yecheng would put this kind of shit on Sima Yan's head.

The Sima family's reputation has long been infamous, and assassination is also in line with the Sima family's usual style.

If you can't even hide it from a three-year-old child, you can't hide it from the "smart people" in the court.

"I have been suffering from illness recently, I beg you to return to the fief, and I hope Your Majesty will grant you!" Sima You's hand was bulging with blue veins due to too much force.

His fief Qi State is in Qingzhou, with fields, money, and people.

For the precarious Sima family, returning to Qingzhou might be a wise move.

Chong'er was safe outside, while Shen Sheng died inside.

This is the strategy Jia Chong gave him. Sima Yan is at the front, and Sima You is at the back to hide his strength and bide his time. Once the world changes, he can regain his strength and continue the history of the Sima family.

When he was in Luoyang before, Sima Yan really wanted to drive him back to the Qingzhou fiefdom, away from the center, and it would be difficult for Sima You to become powerful.

But now and then.

Sima Yan's prestige suffered a major blow, Sima You's prestige soared, and he let the tiger go back to the mountain, causing endless troubles.

"King Qi is in poor health, and there are only good doctors in the palace. Isn't it aggravated by the bumpy journey to Qingzhou? Besides, the country cannot be separated from King Qi, and I cannot do without King Qi. The country is in danger, and King Qi wants to abandon it. I'm leaving?" Sima Yan's words made Sima You unable to jump out of the slightest error.

"The minister's return to Qingzhou can also be used as a backup for His Majesty."

"Could it be that if King Qi doesn't return to his fiefdom, Qingzhou is not the land of the Great Jin Dynasty, nor is it my backup?" Sima Yan's eyes flashed coldly.

Speaking of this, there is no room for change.

"The minister obeys the order..."

"Everyone, although the country is difficult, it may not be impossible to recover. The Qin thieves are violent and ravage the people. They only need Yecheng to block their soldiers. With the national strength of the Central Plains, they can be revived in three to five years. The Qin thieves are full of war. It must be condemned, you don't have to worry about it, only the Great Jin Dynasty can reward you with glory and wealth, and the thief Yang led beasts to eat people, can you tolerate you?" Sima Yan did not forget to cheer up the ministers.

The effect is good, after all, there is some truth to what is said.

The state of Qin used poor families and common people and even foreign races, which had always been criticized by the gentry in the Central Plains.

Yang Zheng purged the gentry tyrants in Hedong and Nanyang, but he violated the taboo of gentry tyrants.

During the Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties, the gentry clans have grown strong and powerful, and of course they are unwilling to give up the interests and power they have obtained.

Sima Yan is very shrewd. My Sima family is finished, and so are you. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope!
"Your Majesty is holy!" The voices of the ministers finally became louder.

Xun Xu suddenly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when the Yellow Turbans rose up at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor Ling ordered loyal soldiers to recruit soldiers to quell the rebellion. Millions of Yellow Turbans were wiped out. Today, the Qin bandits are worse than the Yellow Turbans. The gentry all hate Qin thieves to the bone, so why don't your majesty use it?"

Immediately, a needle could be heard in the hall, and the eyes of all the ministers shone like wild wolves.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty pacified the Yellow Turban with the help of powerful hands, the Eastern Han Dynasty also perished because of the separatist regime.

Although the gentry of the Jin State had private soldiers, they did so in private and did not show it publicly.

Only the princes of the Sima family are allowed to have trilogy, and the number is not many.

Once any private things are put on the table, it will become rampant. At that time, it will not be 1000 to 1 private soldiers, but [-] to [-]...

"Your Majesty must not do it, his heart can be punished!" Sima You broke out in a cold sweat.

But does Sima Yan have any other options today?
In fact, sometimes you know it is poisonous wine, but you still have to drink it, whichever is the lesser of two evils.

Doesn't Emperor Ling know that with the rise of the powerful, the great man will perish?

Based on the situation at the time, if the military power was not given to the powerful, I am afraid that the Eastern Han Dynasty would not last long.

The same is true for the current state of Jin. No matter how high-sounding Sima Yan's words are, he still has no confidence in his heart.

The tyrants of the gentry have risen completely, and the Sima family is still the co-lord of the world under the enfeoffment system of the Zhou Dynasty.

But if the Qin army invades the Central Plains, the Sima family will die without a place to bury them!

"The gentry in the world share the same spirit with me, and I would rather share the world with you, than to degenerate into the dust of the people, and the people's lives will be ruined, and become a country of beasts!" Sima Yan's righteousness is awe-inspiring.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the people in the hall, no matter what faction or background they came from, all bowed down, their voices full of joy.

As vultures see carrion, wolves smell blood.

And Sima You's face was extremely red, and finally couldn't help it, and fell to the ground.

Zhang Hua in the back row sighed softly.

Will the gentry tyrants fight the Qin army if they get the military power?
There may be a few companies that will fight to the death with the Qin army in order to preserve their interests, but most of them will only protect their lives wisely and sell them at a good price.
