The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 367 Begins from Luoshui and ends with Luoshui
But he said that Sima Shao sent scouts to carefully observe the situation. When the scouts saw the Forbidden Army collapse and the Han army advance, they could no longer bear to come and report to Sima Shao.

Sima Shao didn't even dare to let the defeated imperial army enter the city. Instead, he closed the city wall and immediately summoned the civil and military personnel still in Jiankang to discuss the matter.

Zhuge Hui said: "Yu Liang and Lu Ye were defeated because of their incompetence. Now Jiankang is aware of the crisis. People from aristocratic families outside the city are supporting the old and young, and everyone is escaping with their lives. Your Majesty needs to make a decision early!"

"My dear, how can I make any decision in the current situation!" Sima Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Another guard came over to report that the Han army was approaching Jiankang and hoped that His Majesty would give an order.

Zhuge Hui said, "Now the Jiankang army has few major generals and no morale. It is no longer possible to resist.

If your Majesty still has the will to fight in his heart, then he will abandon Jiankang, ride a fast horse, flee to Jingzhou, and join Tao Kan. If he can defeat Liu Tai, he can turn the world around! "

When Sima Shao heard Zhuge Hui's words, he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Hui with very different eyes.

Although Sima Shao has always felt that compared with other monarchs since the Jin Dynasty, he has done a very good job.

But even if he escapes to Jingzhou, he can really defeat Liu Tai. Is this not a dream?

There is so much land in the north, how do you think Liu Tai got it?

"No!" Sima Yi, the clan member, stood up and said, "Your Majesty is physically weak. If you are tired of traveling and traveling, you may not be able to support him. Moreover, the emperor has moved the capital and has not seen the disasters since Yongjia!"

"What's King Xiyang's opinion?" Zhuge Hui couldn't help but asked Sima Yi.

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Now unless Guangwu Kunyang encounters someone and God rescues him, the rise of the Han Dynasty will be inevitable.

As I see it, our Jin Dynasty has the virtue of being kind and nurturing to the Liu family Anle Gong. If your Majesty comes down, then you can guard the ancestral temple by yourself, and you can protect the dawn. Please think of it! "

"King of Xiyang, do you know what you are talking about!" Sima Shao couldn't help but became very angry when he heard Sima Yi's words.

And Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you have great ambitions, and you are my Sima family's unicorn. But now that you have become a king and defeated a bandit, Sima family has been blessed with destiny for fifty-one years, and now it has been extended through the hard work of your majesty and the late emperor." Thirteen years later, the number was sixty-four.

Now that your Majesty has personally returned the political power to the Liu family, at least the Sima family can inherit the incense. Does your Majesty insist that my Sima family be extinct? "

Sima Shao did not expect that in such a situation, Zhuge Hui would still be loyal, but as a member of the clan, Sima Shao was trying to persuade him to surrender.

At this time, Sima Shao couldn't help but think of Liu Chan. When Deng Ai's army came to the city, he also found that there was no one around him who could be used, and there were only thieves who persuaded him to surrender.

"The King of Xiyang also knows the old rules of the Liu family!" Zhuge Hui couldn't help but said, "But does he still remember the oath of Luoshui?!"

When Sima Yi heard Zhuge Hui's words, he suddenly became angry, kicked Zhuge Hui hard, and cursed:

"A thief gives birth to a son. Liu Xiuluo's oath is known to the world. His Majesty Liu Tai wants to rejuvenate Yanhan three times, so how can he break his oath?"

Zhuge Hui was startled when he heard Sima Yi's words, because he had served his family for so many years, so he served the Sima family.

But he forgot that his grandfather was Zhuge Yan who rebelled against the Sima family in the second year of Ganlu, and his father was Zhuge Liang who never sat in the north or served in the Jin court, and he... and he...

Zhuge Hui's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then said to Sima Shao,

"Your Majesty, if you want to raise your troops and fight, you should quickly find Tao Kan. If you want to stay pure for the rest of your life, you should learn from Emperor Xin!"

After Zhuge Hui finished speaking, he left the hall without looking back, because Zhuge Hui knew that he had fulfilled his duties as a minister.

Just as Zhuge Hui left, Sima Shao couldn't help coughing, and the coughing sound became louder and louder!

Not long after, Su Jun led the army to attack Jiankang, but at this time the gate of Jiankang opened.

Sima Yi knelt in front of Su Jun, raised the white jade pendant high, and said:

"The guilty ministers, led by the three princes, nine ministers, civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty, specially requested the general to surrender. I hope the general will take pity on the lives of the people and accept the surrender!"

At this time, Su Jun saw smoke and flames rising in the direction of Jiankang Center. He did not say whether he would accept it or not, but pointed at Jiankang and said, "Where is that place? How did such a big fire start!"

"Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin Dynasty did not know the fate of the day. Now that the soldiers are coming, he does not regret it and sets himself on fire in the palace!" Sima Yi said quickly.

"You, that's great! You really deserve to be a descendant of the Sima family." Su Jun couldn't help but praise Sima Yi when he heard how quickly he changed his tune.

"Thank you for the compliment, General!" Sima Yi said to Su Jun without changing his expression.

When Su Jun entered Jiankang, he first took control of the imperial palace and the Sima clan. Compared with this, the aristocratic family was nothing.

After all, it was only after King Langya escaped from the Jin court that the country had its current destiny. If another clan escaped from the Jin Dynasty, would it be necessary to set up a special government agency to find these children of the Sima clan?

At the same time, because the officers and soldiers of the Han army were of high quality, and Su Jun had just been suppressed, he did not want to continue to be on the bench, so he did quite well in terms of military discipline.

Under such circumstances, the local people were not much disturbed, but in the case of aristocratic families, although the army did not rob them, they began to register the properties of these wealthy families.

Although Sima Yi surrendered, Su Jun only accepted the unconditional surrender. Since your lives have been saved, there is no need to think about your wealth. They have already changed their surnames and are just waiting for Liu Tai to come and deal with it.

At this time, Su Jun asked Wang Daoshan, Yu Liang and Sima Yi to sign a letter on behalf of the Jin court to a group of Jin soldiers who were fighting on the front line, informing them that Sima Shao was dead and asked them to quickly surrender.

To be honest, Zhuge Hui could have represented him originally. After all, after Director Wang was idle at home, Zhuge Hui had basically taken over the post of Shangshu Ling.

However, when Su Jun went to look for him, Zhuge Hui had already committed suicide in his own home.

Su Jun still respected this kind of righteous man. In addition, Liu Tai advocated Zhuge Liang. Facing people who were also from the Langya Zhuge family, Su Jun did not dare to show any slightness, so he arranged for people to bury him properly. .

Soon, Su Jun's decree from the Jin court came into effect. Wang Sui of Jiangdong surrendered to Zhao An, Jiangzhou governor Ying Zhan surrendered to Zhou Ping, and even Jingzhou governor Tao Kan surrendered to Liu Tai.

Otherwise, are we still going to let these people continue to fight against Liu Tai's army for the sake of the Sima family that is destined to be destroyed, and then continue the war?
The entire Jin court of the Sima family really had no resistance to the Yan-Han banner held high by Liu Tai.

In a court where only filial piety rules the world, when the Sima clan themselves give up on saving themselves, no one can save them anymore.

Regardless of whether they are aristocratic or powerful, they will naturally confront the Han army when they have no choice.

But now that even the Sima clan has admitted defeat, why are they still insisting on sending all their own people down?

This is the meaning of Liu Tai's arrangement for Su Jun to directly intersperse Jiankang.

Because the Sima clan has done so poorly over the years, the entire Sima clan's Eastern Jin Dynasty is not so much relying on Sima Shao's own ability to operate, but rather relying on the unique inertia of the political system to continue to operate.

It's as if Yingjiang himself knows very well that the current political system is very unsuitable for him.

However, due to political inertia, even if there are only two elderly people left, they can only bite the bullet and vote.

As long as Jiankang is occupied and something happens to Sima Shao, it would be too high a view of the Jin court's ownership of these wealthy families or local powerful people if the Eastern Jin Dynasty has the will to resist even after the fall of the country like the Western Jin Dynasty. Feeling. As for the common people of powerful families, the Han people and the Jin people were originally Han people, but now that they have fought against each other, it is enough.

If you can fight fewer wars, fight fewer wars, especially the one named Tao Kan. I know your great-grandson is called Tao Yuanming. Don't worry, just because of this name, I won't treat you badly.

Then, Liu Tai decided to live a hundred years and tried every means to suppress your great-grandson Tao Yuanming.

It was not until he gave up officialdom and wrote "The Peach Blossom Spring" that he was promoted step by step.

After all, China's cultural treasures and the spiritual home of scholars must not disappear.

However, complaints are complaints. As these people surrendered one after another, Liu Tai occupied Jingzhou and gathered in Jiankang.

Although everyone in the Jin court surrendered, Liu Tai still followed the army's practice and began to inspect the land and money of local aristocratic families. Because it was the last city, he treated the aristocratic families even more harshly.

But Liu Tai has a bottom line after all, and he will not do anything like "burning the inner treasury to ashes and trampling all the bones of public ministers in the streets".

Although the land, wealth and books of these aristocratic families were searched, the lives of these aristocratic families were not harmed, and all the aristocratic families who came from the south were arranged to return to their places of origin.

Their place of origin has been allocated land, and it is impossible to return it to them. However, the court will allocate acres of land to them in proportion to their population and participation in the army, which is enough for them to continue passing on.

No matter how you say it, they are all from aristocratic families. Compared with ordinary people in troubled times, these people still have the grace of their ancestors to some extent, and they can get up quickly.

However, as the war ended, Liu Tai immediately summoned all the famous families in the world to hold the Luoshui Conference.

The first was to announce that the Han Dynasty would once again rule the world and complete the unification of China.

The second is to come to judge those who hold official positions in the Jin court.

Of course, this trial is just a process, which means that after the trial, let bygones be bygones and enter the new dynasty.

Liu Tai knows very well that some things need to go through a process. After this process, even if others think you are still stained, for those who have surrendered, they will eventually behave more innocently.

In addition, Liu Tai has no intention of exterminating all these aristocratic families. Basically, they all have a good reputation among the people, so they will be treated lightly. But if there are any criminals who commit crimes, they will be killed!
After all, Liu Tai has always advocated unconditional surrender. Liu Tai will not tolerate you just because you surrendered.

But everyone knows that these processes are just foreplay. As even Director Wang was dismissed by Liu Tai as "having merits and demerits, he will never be hired", the sentence was pronounced, and about 3,000 people from the Sima clan, represented by Sima Yi, began to They were escorted one by one in front of everyone.

Everyone knew it. At this moment, the main dishes were served, and everyone looked at the Sima clan.

Finally, Chen Yuanda pronounced his verdict, "Since the Sima clan usurped the destiny of heaven, the world has been turned upside down, and the mountains and rivers have been shattered. First, the cholera of the Eight Kings harmed the world, and then the alien tribe of Yongjia poisoned the people. Today, the Sima clan in Hanoi has fulfilled Sima Yi's oath of Luo Shui. The order of the clan is to sacrifice the innocence of Luoshui!"

When Chen Yuanda said this, all the Sima clan members turned pale and collapsed on the ground one by one.

They did not expect that the oath initiated by Sima Yi would eventually have to be fulfilled by them, Sima Yi's descendants.

They looked back around, but at this time, no one sympathized with them.

Not to mention the common people, even the aristocratic families, who would sympathize with them? Everyone wished they would die early.

Before the Sima clan, everyone in the world believed that Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling were already at the lower limit of being an emperor under the imperial system.

But since the Sima clan came to power, no one thought that the emperor who was also a unified emperor could actually be defeated by a foreign race.

Although Wang Mi and Liu Tai contributed the most among them, this kind of thing can be said. This is called complying with destiny!
"However, Your Majesty is merciful and gives you a chance. From now on, you will give up your surname, give up your incense, and take the surname "Zhong". You will not be allowed to serve in the official position for nine generations. You will completely break with the Sima family in Hanoi. You can save your life, but if you want to continue to be a member of the Sima family in Hanoi, Pulse, then answer Luo Shui’s oath!”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We have made a contribution to dedicating the city! We have made a contribution to dedicating the city!" Sima Yi couldn't help shouting.

"So I'll give you a chance to choose. Originally, I planned to kill the entire Sima clan in Hanoi and kill everyone with the Sima family name!" Liu Tai said coldly.

When Liu Tai saw that they still had no choice, he waved his hand and said, "Let people throw these people into Luoshui!"

The soldiers did not hesitate and began to push Sima's people towards Luoshui.

"No, no, no!" Sima Yi said loudly, "I am willing to give up my surname and my incense. From now on, there will be no more Sima Yi, only Zhong Yi!"

With Sima Yi taking the lead, other members of the Sima clan suddenly felt that the hope of life was so good, and they all chose the surname of Zhong.

The representatives of the aristocratic families present could not help but twitch the corners of their mouths as they looked at the scene in front of them.

They knew that the Sima family was very embarrassing, but they never expected that among the many children of the Sima family, no one would be willing to stand up to defend their family's reputation, and chose to abandon the Sima family name and live in poverty.

Liu Tai waved his hand and asked them to stand aside, but did not let anyone push them into the water.

The surviving members of the Sima clan were holding their heads high and crying with joy. They just wanted maybe.

When Liu Tai saw this scene, he immediately felt disgusted and lost interest in punishment, so he let them endure the pain of hard work from then on. The Age of Discovery was about to begin, and nine generations had been farmers. It was basically concluded that they would be abandoned by the times. .

"Wait!" At this moment, Li Qinghe stood up and came to Liu Tai. He saluted seriously and said to Liu Tai after paying homage: "Your Majesty, I am the queen of the Sima family. I am willing to sacrifice myself to Luoshui!"

"You don't need a weak woman to deal with this matter!" Liu Tai looked at Li Qinghe and couldn't help but sigh.

How could he not know Li Qinghe's identity? But since he survived with his surname, let's live well!
"I am the fourth daughter of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, my birth mother is Queen Yang Xianrong, and I am named Princess Qinghe. I am willing to use my own life to quell the Luoshui River!" Li Qinghe said loudly.

Seeing this scene, the guards couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

Liu Tai stopped the actions of the guards, and then watched Li Qinghe move towards Luoshui step by step, and finally submerged into Luoshui without hesitation, and did not float again for a long time.

"Of the three thousand soldiers of Sima Hanoi, not one of them is a man!"

Liu Tai no longer wanted to see these descendants of Sima, and said, "Pick up Sima Qinghe and bury him with royal rites."

"As ordered!"

(End of the book)

　The writing is almost over at this point. As long as I don’t have enough opponents, I won’t be able to maintain a certain level. This is still the problem. If I continue writing, it feels a little boring.

　　However, there are still some holes that have not been filled, such as the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the destruction of Xianbei, and Wang Xizhi's famous work "Preface to the Lanting Collection". These should be slowly filled in the form of extras over the past few days, mainly because of the time. Some of them are too long. I can't stand by and write this scene specifically.

　　But the main story is almost over.

　　Well, thank you all for reading this, and I look forward to seeing you in the next book.

　　My next book should not be about ancient history. I have written several books. I want to change my taste, so I won’t talk too much for now.
