The last three kingdoms

Chapter 520 Fighting for Inheritance
In addition to having children with Guo Huai, Jia Chong and his ex-wife Li Wan also had two daughters, one Jia Bao and one Jia Yu.Guo Huai regards the two daughters born in the front room as thorns in his eyes and treats them harshly, and Jia Chong is helpless.Later, Jia Bao married Sima You, Marquis of Wuyang. Because of missing her biological mother and resenting her stepmother, her relationship with Jia Chong was not very good, and they rarely interacted with each other.

Naturally, Jia Chong couldn't put all his eggs in one basket. Although he also hoped that Sima You could inherit the throne, he could see more clearly that Sima Yan was more likely to succeed. The heavyweight ministers all clearly expressed their support for Sima Yan's succession to the throne, and these people could easily shake Sima Zhao's will.

Therefore, at the most critical time, Jia Chong still decided to take refuge in Sima Yan, entrusting his prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life on Sima Yan.

Sima Yan was naturally very excited. He knew that Jia Chong was a very important person around Sima Zhao. Although he could not compare with the heavyweights such as Taifu Sima Fu, Taiwei Wang Xiang, and Sikong He Zeng, Jia Chong still deeply With Sima Zhao's trust and his support, naturally his chances of winning will increase by a few points.

However, Sima Yan is not blind enough to think that with the support of Jia Chong, he can be sure of victory. After all, only Sima Zhao himself has the right to make the decision, and anyone else's opinion is also a reference. Many wise and wise princes in history failed to ascend to the throne of God, and many The mediocre and incompetent people sat on the throne, just because the will of the former emperor decided everything.

Sima Yan said worriedly: "Father called Uncle Fu, Wang Xiang, and He Zengjin alone this time, it seems that there is a suspicion of arranging the funeral. If the successor is determined, I am afraid we will be powerless."

Jia Chong smiled calmly and said: "My son, don't worry. The king of Jin summoned the three princes to enter at this time, which proves that the king of Jin has not yet made a decision, and Fu Gong's will is unknown, but Wang Taiwei and He Situ are determined to support you, your son." Yes, my son, please rest assured that the matter of succession will never come to fruition today."

Sima Yan said with undiminished melancholy: "Brother You adopted Uncle King Jing, and my father used to say that 'the world belongs to my brother, after a hundred years of loneliness, it must be passed on to my brother', and now everyone in the world knows this , is it possible that the father is a dishonest person?"

Jia Chong said disapprovingly: "At this time and at that time, the King of Jin did say this before, but it was to appease King Jing's subordinates. Although Marquis Wuyang is the son of King Jing in name, he is still the son of King Jin. Time has passed and circumstances have changed. Kings don't necessarily care about the words of the day, abolishing the elders and erecting the younger has been the way to create chaos since ancient times, and I believe the King of Jin will consider it carefully."

Sima Yan was overjoyed, and said: "It's true that Duke Ming said auspiciously, but in front of the father, Duke Ming must wait for a lot of good words. After the matter is completed, Yan will definitely thank you, and Duke Ming is also a minister."

Jia Chong said: "My son, please don't worry, I will help you with all my strength to ensure that your son is on the throne. There is a daughter named Nanfeng, who is about the same age as Mr. Ling Zhong. If your son is interested, how about letting them marry Qin and Jin?"

Accustomed to the sweetness of being married to the Sima family, Jia Chong will naturally not let go of this opportunity. Sima You is in power, Jia Chong is his father-in-law, Sima Yan is in power, Jia Chong and him are the relatives of his children, this is the true love. It's both right and left.

What Sima Yan needed most at this time was help like Jia Chong. It would be great to be able to form a family with him, so Sima Yan immediately said: "Okay, it's a deal, Zhong'er is still young." You are young, let's make this marriage, and we will marry again in the future."

There was an imperceptible smile on Jia Chong's face, he said: "My son, don't worry, King Jin will call all his ministers to discuss the matter of succession, Chong has a clever plan, and he will surely win this battle for succession. "

Sima Yan was overjoyed, and said: "I still have to rely on Duke Ming for this matter, thank you Yan in advance."

After exchanging information about Luoyang with Qingsong, Liu Yin can basically confirm that Sima You is in a disadvantaged position in this battle for succession, even though Sima You's popularity and reputation are higher than Sima Yan's. Sima Zhao had previously expressed his intention to let Sima You succeed him in a hundred years, but what cannot be ignored is the strength of the courtiers. Now Sima Yan is surrounded by some heavyweights supporting him, and even Sima Zhao is not May ignore their existence.

This is related to Sima Yan's deliberate management. Under his continuous wooing, many ministers with neutral attitudes also fell to Sima Yan's camp. It is shown in his great talents and great strategies. For example, the strategy he proposed for governing the country won the unanimous approval of the court officials. Sima Yan even advocated a full-scale counterattack against the forces of the Shu State occupying Guanzhong, and advocated recapturing Guanlong, Yongliang, etc. .

Obviously, Sima Yan was more in line with the standard of a good king in their minds, so Sima Yan got the unanimous approval of the important officials of the court, and repeatedly persuaded Sima Zhao in front of Sima Zhao to make Sima Yan the heir.

During the short contact with Sima You, Liu Yin also learned that Sima You did not intend to fight for the throne, and he did not have any particularly strong demands on the throne. It's nothing particularly important.

This kind of indifferent mentality obviously does not take advantage of the struggle for succession. If the situation is allowed to develop like this, Sima Yan will inevitably take over, and then the purpose of Liu Yin's trip will become meaningless.

We can't wait any longer, it must be time to act.

Although it doesn't make much sense to Liu Yin whether Sima You is in power, but a hawkish figure and a corrupt figure will have a profound impact on the changes in the current situation. Although Liu Yin has never met Sima Yan, but he has heard a little about Sima Yan's strength. If he didn't have the extravagance and indulgence later, Sima Yan could be called a wise founding monarch.

Obviously, the rise of these powerful figures will have a great impact on the changes in the world situation. Liu Yin has come here to create some difficulties for Sima Yan, to block him, and to consume a little bit of Wei's power, so that he can gain power in the state of Wei. In the battle with Wei Guo for Guanzhong, he was in a favorable position.

But directly persuading Sima You doesn't seem to have much effect, and it makes people feel that they are suspected of instigating their brotherly relationship. It seems that they can only go through other ways. After thinking about it, Liu Yin thought of a person. That is the Sima next to Sima You - Ji Xi.
