Wuhu Mingyue

Chapter 67: The World Is in Chaos

The fire in Luoyang has been gradually extinguished, and the news that Emperor Huai was taken into captivity after Luoyang was burned has shocked the world!

Shi Le's army had already left Luoyang, which was in ruins, and rushed all the way to Yuyuanguan. After joining Shi Hu and Shi Zhan, they rushed to Xuchang to station. After a short rest, they immediately went to Yangxia (affiliated to Huaiyang, Shangqiu, Kaifeng area) to march, the defender there is Wang Zan.

After Wang Mi left Luoyang, he stationed in Xiangguan eastward, but there was no movement for a while.

Liu Yao and Hu Yanyan took Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty and the six seals symbolizing the emperor to Pingyang to present captives and ask for credit. Naturally, Yang Xianrong followed Liu Yao back to Pingyang. Along the way, Yang Xianrong cared for Liu Yao very much. The details are taken care of one by one, but sometimes she will be in a daze when she is alone. For the possibility of the future, she really has a little bit of expectation in her heart, a little extravagant hope, especially as a woman's expectation, she really has a little hope in her heart. Am looking forward to……

Liu Cong was overjoyed after receiving the submissions from Liu Yao, Wang Mi, Shi Le and others.

Inside Luoyang Tunnel

Mingyue didn't know what day it was, the fire in Luoyang hadn't been completely extinguished yet, Mingyue and the old monk Fotucheng crawled out of the tunnel after feeling that the surrounding temperature was not so hot anymore.

The scene outside is really desolate. The whole Luoyang is completely in ruins. All kinds of burning smells are tangy in the wind, which made me unable to breathe smoothly several times. The old monk walked carefully with Mingyue, We will go to Chang'an, there may still be a glimmer of life there, the road to Jiangdong is gone, and the road to Bingzhou is not accessible to me and an old monk, other places are even more chaotic, only to go to Chang'an...

Jiangdong Jianye City Langya Palace

There are four or five edicts on Sima Rui's case table, including Situ Fuji's, Sikong Xunfan's, Hua Hui who claims to be Henan Yin, and the most arrogant Xun Xi and Youzhou Governor Wang Jun.

Sima Rui looked at these edicts and suddenly burst out laughing.

Wang Dao, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing. The death of his clan brother Wang Yan was an unbearable pain for him. Now Luoyang was attacked by foreigners, and Emperor Huai was also captured and taken to Pingyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty. .The world is really in chaos...

Seeing that Director Wang was in a daze to himself, Sima Rui had no choice but to stop laughing, and asked in confusion, "Maohong, what are you thinking about?"

Director Wang naturally knew that Sima Rui was annoyed by these edicts from different forces. Regardless of his status or bloodline, Sima Rui was considered the most orthodox, so why should he listen to these people's rewards?How could he not be so angry that he laughed.

Director Wang replied in a leisurely manner: "My lord, Fu Chang, the second son of Situ Fuji, has set up a walking platform in Heyin (just beside Luoyang) under the guise of his father's name. The government agency set up at the place where it is stationed represents the central government. In the late Northern Dynasties, it was called Daxingtai. Setting up officials is no different from the central government. Father, Fu's lineage doesn't have any candidates to support him, so don't worry about it."

"Where is Sikong Xunfan?"

"I heard that after Sikong Xunfan first established a platform in Yangcheng (Dengfeng County, Henan Province), I heard that General Fujun, Qin Wang Simaye (son of King Wu Xiao, nephew of Xunfan) fled to Mi County ( Xun Fan immediately ran to support him, and then slowly developed his power to Xuchang. Yan Ding, a former governor of Yuzhou from Tianshui, gathered thousands of refugees from western states and counties in Mi County to join Xun Fan. Xun Fan claimed to support the same branch of Emperor Huai’s lineage ((The same branch means that one gave birth to two sons, the eldest son had no heirs, but the younger son had, and the younger son died at the same time, so the older son died. It should be chosen from among the heirs of the younger son, not from the other uncles and brothers of the elder son. If the elder son dies and the younger son is still alive, he can be brother and sister. If both have no heirs, they both die. , will be chosen among uncles and brothers), but in my opinion, their blood is far inferior to the lord, so there is not much threat for the time being, the only worry is that they will develop their power to Chang'an."

"Chang'an??? There is Nanyang Wang Simamo in Chang'an!"

"Yes, so don't worry about it for the time being. If you don't go to Chang'an, don't worry about it."

"Well, what about the others?"

"Hua Hui is the descendant of the Hua family in Pingyuan, and is the great-grandson of Hua Xin (a famous scholar in the Wei state at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period). He is of the same clan as Hua Tie, the governor of Jiangzhou under the lord. They both come from the Hua family in Pingyuan, and they are also Hua Xin's great-grandson. "

When Sima Rui heard the word Huashi, he stood up suddenly and threw the wine vessel in his hand to the ground violently, angrily said: "This damned Huatie has never obeyed my control, and even sent the text I sent to you." Throwing them all away and ignoring me at all, are you looking down on me, a low-level Sima family? !!

Director Wang not only replied unhurriedly: "It is said that no one persuaded him not to confront the lord, but he told others that Sima Rui didn't receive any edict to govern me, so please stay in Jianzhou well." Karma, don't yell nonsense"

"I will kill this thief, Pingyuan Huashi, hehe!!!"

"My lord, calm down, the Pingyuan Hua family is not a big family with the "right surname". If its power is broken by us, it will be very fat."

"Hehe, it won't arouse the resentment of other big clans. The big clans are in the same spirit, but it's not good to lose the hearts of other big clans because of one Fahrenheit."

"My lord, don't worry, the world is in chaos now, only Jiangdong is stable, and all the clans have the intention of going south. If the Hua family is moved away, there will be room to accept other clans..."

Sima Rui laughed loudly and was very happy when he heard this...

Director Wang continued: "It is very rare for Li Ju, the prefect of Runan, to provide support for various platforms. What is interesting is that Liu Kun of Bingzhou also falsely passed on an edict, and in the name of the emperor, he sent General Yang Wei Wei Jun as Henan Yin to guard the In Shiliangwu (east of Luoyang City) in the north of Luoshui, Wei Jun’s nephew Wei Gai was stationed in Yiquanwu (west of Yiyang County, Henan Province), and Xun Pan also made Wei Gai a general of Wuwei.”

"It's really chaotic. They are taking advantage of the time when there is no one in the world to win over all parties in order to strengthen their own power. Is it true that I, Sima, really have no one?"

"Of course not, with the lord here, the Sima family will definitely be able to make another glory!"

Sima Rui shook his hand, he still knew his worth, without this person in front of him, he really was nothing, no wonder other people looked down on him, Langya Wang was his arm...

Director Wang saw that Sima Rui was not too proud, but rather humble, and was very happy in his heart. It seemed that the protagonist he had chosen was becoming more and more mature.

Wang Dao went on to say: General Xun Xi was not idle either. He supported Sima Duan, the younger brother of the late prince Sima Quan, in Cangyuan (in the northwest of Kaifeng County, Henan Province), and set up a platform. Beishou means that the emperor was captured and went to the north, but it cannot be said that he was captured, he just went hunting...) So Xun Xi was established as the crown prince to exercise the rights of the emperor, and the crown prince appointed Xun Xi to concurrently serve as the crown prince and Taifu, who supervised both China and foreign countries All the armies, recorded Shangshi, and then moved from Cangyuan to Mengcheng (Mengcheng County is located in the north of Anhui Province, in the middle of the Huaibei Plain, and belongs to Bozhou City) to station.”

"Look at these people, what kind of people are supporting them, they are all children! Sima Ye is only 12 years old, and Sima Duan is only in his teens, puppets!"

"My lord, what's more interesting is that Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, also got a prince from nowhere, and set up an altar to sacrifice to the heavens, and made him the crown prince, and then issued a notice to the world, declaring that he accepted the emperor's edict. Adhering to the emperor's will to award officials and ranks, various officials can be arbitrarily appointed, generals at the Zheng and Zhen levels are appointed, Xun Fan is appointed as the Taiwei, Sima Rui, king of Langya, is appointed as the general, and Wang Jun himself concurrently serves as the Shangling."

"Hehe, you haven't forgotten me."

"My lord, why don't you send envoys to Huatie with Xun Fan's decree, and say that according to the emperor's order, the government should be re-established and the officials replaced. If we don't follow, we will have an excuse to kill Huahui... "

"Well, send Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou, Gan Zhuo, the governor of Liyang, and General Yang Lie Zhou Fan to lead the troops with the envoys. If Huatie disagrees, they will directly send troops to attack."

"promise!"

Sima Rui's face suddenly became serious, which made Director Wang a little surprised, but Director Wang knew that this was a sign of Sima Rui's nervousness, so he quietly waited for what Sima Rui would say next.

"Maohong, you said that you value my bloodline, why do people in the world only respect the lineage of Emperor Huai and call it the direct descendant? So what is the lonely one?

"My lord is the great-grandson of Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan, the grandson of Sima Yi, King Wu of Langye, the son of Sima Jin, King Gong of Langye, and the son of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin. In terms of blood, the lord is the only true heir after Emperor Huai. The son of the dead follows, so the eyes of the world are only on its descendants or the same branch."

"Hehe, does that mean that the lonely king is only Pian'an Jiangzuo waiting for my little nephews to say that they are lonely?"

"My lord, do you still remember the last words of Princess Wang (Sima Rui's mother: Xiahou Guangji)?"

"You mean the proverb that my concubine mother said, "Bronze horse enters the sea to build a business"? Well, yes, my mother's small character is Tonghuan! My surname is Sima, which corresponds to the word for bronze horse, and now I am building The industry has such a foundation, doesn’t it?!”

"Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, everything is arranged by the heavens. Sima Yue and Wang Yan are just escorts arranged by the heavens. Who would know such a coincidence? It can be seen that this is God's will. Your Majesty just waits for the right time!"

Sima Rui felt very comfortable when he heard Dao Wang call him the honorific title of emperor again. Before sweeping away, he seemed a little unconfident because of blood problems.

Sima Rui looked at Director Wang who was lying on the ground shouting long live, and began to imagine that he would really sit on the throne one day...

Wang Dao, who was lying on the ground shouting long live, also suddenly thought of something: It is said that Sima Yi once saw the words "the cow follows the horse" in the prophecy "Xuanshi Tu", and Sima Jin's concubine Xiahou (ie Xiahou Guangji) was a promiscuous person, and actually had an affair with a petty official of the Niu family (some people say that this petty official was Niu Jin, a general of the Wei State in the Three Kingdoms period, but there is no way to verify it), and gave birth to Sima Rui. If this rumor is true Really, is it really going to be fulfilled?Hehe, the emperor's family affairs, if there is such a rumor that embarrasses Sima Rui's status, how can it be my turn to assist Wang Yan?Hehe, it seems that everything is really God's will...

Historical Records: Jiangzhou Inspector Hua Hui and Yuzhou Inspector Pei Xian did not obey Sima Rui's edict. Sima Rui sent Wang Dun, Gan Zhuo, and Zhou Fang to jointly attack Huatie and Pei Xian's allied forces. As a result, Zhou Fang killed Huatie and him. His five sons, Pei Xian, also fled to Youzhou.Sima Rui sent Gan Zhuo as the governor of Xiangjiang, Zhou Fang as the prefect of Xunyang, and General Yangwu Tao Kan as the prefect of Wuchang.Since then, no one in Jiangdong has listened to Sima Rui's orders! (Sima Rui's territory expanded from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Jiangxi and Fujian)
