The last three kingdoms

Chapter 519 Jia Chong's thoughts

It's not that Sima Yan didn't give He Shao face, no matter how you say it, the two of them were friends, and their relationship was extraordinary, not to mention that he was once a high-ranking and powerful person, and he was the target of his Sima family, otherwise Sima Zhao would not have married his niece Princess Yang was betrothed to He Shao, and Sima Yan didn't attend the banquet in He's house because he had more important things to do.

The news just came back from the Jin Palace that Sima Zhao’s condition had deteriorated again. Even the imperial doctors were helpless. Sima Zhao urgently summoned the Taifu Sima Fu, Taiwei Wang Xiang, and Situ He Zeng to enter the palace. The palace was heavily guarded. Sima Zhao ordered anyone People are not allowed to enter the palace.

After Sima Yan got the news, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to the He Mansion, and went to the Jin Palace to meet his father. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the guards on duty as soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace.

Sima Yan immediately got angry and said: "You don't know how to live or die, dare to stand in my way. My father is seriously ill, and a son-in-law should visit me. You dare to prevent me from fulfilling my filial piety. Believe it or not, I will behead you right now?"

The guard knelt down on the ground and said in fear: "Your Majesty, forgive me, how many of you have the guts to stand in the way of your Majesty, it is the King Jin's order that no one is allowed to enter the palace without orders, and I am also obeying orders, please forgive me. "

Sima Yan was still angry, and was about to scold him, when a person beside him suddenly laughed and said, "Don't be angry, my son, forgive me for being a snob, why should my son be angry?"

Sima Yan saw that it was none other than Jia Chong, the Central Guard. His expression softened a little, and he said, "It turns out that Jia Hujun, Yan heard that his father was seriously ill, and was very worried. It is really not the intention to speak out and scold him in a hurry."

Jia Chong looked to the left and right, but there was no one by Sima Yan's side, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is not worried about King Jin's illness, is he really concerned about the successor?"

Sima Yan was taken aback in horror, Jia Chong revealed his scheming in one word, Sima Yan is now focusing on his heirs, his father Sima Zhao's intention to let his younger brother Sima You succeed to the throne is no longer a big deal in the court Secret, this made Sima Yan, who is the eldest son, restless. When he heard that his father was seriously ill, Sima Yan's first thought was that something bad happened. He hurried to the palace to see who would succeed his father before he died. .

Jia Chong's outspokenness made Sima Yan very embarrassed, and he said in a jiffy, "Why did Jia Hujun say that?"

Jia Chong smiled ambiguously and said, "My son, this is not a place to talk. Can you take a step to speak?"

Sima Yan is also a smart person, Jia Chong said so, naturally he might speak for himself, and hurriedly said: "Minggong, please come to Yan's mansion to speak."

So the two returned to Sima Yan's mansion together. Sima Yan ordered his servants to offer tea, then waved back to the left and right, bowed to Jia Chong and said, "Duke Ming has something to say, you might as well speak it out, and Yan will listen carefully."

Jia Chong seemed to be very satisfied with Sima Yan's attitude. He looked like a child who could be taught, he stroked his beard and laughed and said, "The son's move today is very Meng Lang. Since the king of Jin ordered the closure of the palace, it is natural for the king of Jin to consider it. If the prince insists on breaking in and offends King Jin, the prince must be very clear about the consequences."

Sima Yan immediately broke out in cold sweat. He knew the character of his father Sima Zhao very clearly. Sima Zhao hated others disobeying him the most. If he trespassed on the palace today and offended Sima Zhao, at this critical moment of establishing an heir, he would undoubtedly reduce his burden. A lot of points made Sima Zhao mistakenly think that he was eager to usurp the class and seize power. Wouldn't it be a big bad thing? It seems that Jia Chong's timely appearance today helped him and prevented him from making a big mistake.

"Thank you Minggong, if it wasn't for Minggong today, Yan would have made a big mistake." Sima Yan bowed and thanked Jia Chong. Sima Yan was originally a very smart person, but he was blinded by profit, and he did what happened today. It was due to lack of consideration, but thanks to Jia Chong's reminder, Sima Yan's repeated mistakes were avoided.

No, Sima Yan was suspicious. It stands to reason that Jia Chong is the father-in-law of his younger brother Sima You, so he should not come forward to help him anyway. It is obvious that the current situation is very beneficial to Sima You. When Sima You succeeds, Jia Chong But the king of the state of Jin, with such honor and status at his fingertips, Sima Yan didn't understand why Jia Chong came to help him.

"Yan is unclear about one thing. Since Minggong is the father-in-law of Youdi, why did he come forward to help Yan?"

Jia Chong smiled slightly and said: "Fang's world is in turmoil today, with internal and external troubles. Liu Yinhu, the general of Shu, is far away from Guanzhong, and the Sun family of Jiangdong is watching across the river. If it is not for the talented and general enlightened leader, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to take charge of the government. Although Marquis Wuyang is My son-in-law, but he is weak, gentle and courteous, is the ruler of the world, not the lord of the troubled times, the son of the world is wise and martial, with talents beyond the world, if he inherits the throne, it will be the blessing of the world and the fortune of the country."

Jia Chong is very shrewd, and he is best at speculative franchises. Although he knows that Sima Zhao intends to let Sima You succeed him, there are not many ministers in the court who support Sima You, and judging from the current situation, Sima Yan is very The land is strong and aggressive, and has formed a force to support him in the court. Sima You is indifferent, courteous and courteous, and has no intention of fighting. One floor, but if Sima You fails to take the position, it will be the biggest blow to Jia Chong.After some consideration of the situation, Jia Chong decided to take the initiative to join Sima Yan. In this way, no matter who ascended the throne, it would not affect Jia Chong's status in the court.

Jia Chong's family situation is somewhat special. His ex-wife is the daughter of Zhong Shuling Li Feng, named Li Wan.Li Feng was killed by Sima Shige on the spot because he failed to participate in the assassination of Sima Shi.Jia Chong couldn't bear the loneliness, so he married Guo Huai, the daughter of Guo Pei, the prefect of Chengyang.

Guo Huai is notoriously jealous of his wife. Don't look at Jia Chong who is majestic outside, but when he returns home, he fears his fierce wife like a tiger. He is so scared that he dare not even fart.Guo Huai had two daughters and two sons successively. The eldest daughter Jia Nanfeng was married to Sima Yan's idiot son Sima Zhong and became the queen. The second daughter Jia Wu was later the eldest son Jia Limin. Li Min, who was held by the nurse in his arms, thought that Jia Chong had an affair with the nurse, so he whipped the nurse to death. As a result, Li Min died of missing the nurse at the age of three. Soon after, he gave birth to another son. Because Jia Chong caressed the child in the nurse's arms, Guo Huai became suspicious again and killed the nurse. The child also died of missing the nurse.From then on, Jia Chong and his wife never had children again, and Jia Mi, the son of Jia Wu and Han Shou, was the heir.
