The last three kingdoms

Chapter 525 suddenly enlightened

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "Marquis Wuyang is extremely loyal and filial, which is admirable, but it's a pity that other people may not think so. Junhou respects others as brothers, but others may not regard Junhou as younger brothers."

Sima You's complexion changed suddenly, Liu Yin's words hit his sore spot, it's not that Sima You didn't know what Sima Yan was doing, it's just that he was used to humility and tolerance, and he deliberately avoided Sima Yan's aggressiveness Attitude, in Sima You's heart, he longs for the harmonious life of father, son, filial piety and brotherhood of ordinary people, but born in an emperor's family, whether you like it or not, power struggle exists all the time, even if you want to escape, There is also no escape.

But Sima You's forbearance did not return Sima Yan's concession. Sima Yan is a very ambitious person, and his thirst for power has reached that heinous level. As Sima Zhao's eldest son, he obviously cannot Tolerating the loss of his power, he coveted the throne for a long time, wooed the powerful in the court, cultivated cronies, and used these important court officials to constantly exert pressure on Sima Zhao, forcing him to change his mind about establishing a crown prince.

Sima You is honest and kind-hearted, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid and dull by nature. His heart is like a mirror for what Sima Yan has done. All hopes are pinned on his father, Sima Zhao, and he believes that his father will make a clear decision.

But Sima You is also well aware of the truth that people say that gold accumulates to slander and destroy bones. More and more important court officials are standing by Sima Yan's side, constantly whispering in Sima Zhao's ears, and the party members and cronies that Sima Yan has recruited are even more serious. It is to constantly fan the flames and create public opinion. It seems that there is a consensus in the court that Sima Yan must be the king of Jin.

In this situation, Sima Zhao, who has always been more prudent, seems to have lost his mind, and the situation of establishing an heir that had no objection has become complicated and confusing. The most intuitive thing is that Sima Zhao suddenly became seriously ill last night, but he blocked the princes at the door In addition, Sima Fu, Wang Xiang, and He Zengjin were called to meet alone. This has never happened before.

Sima You has a gentle personality and no city, but it does not mean that he is mediocre and incompetent, and has no desire for the throne. As the most qualified person to inherit the throne, Sima You has always regarded himself as an heir before. Ba has not yet reached the championship, but his ability has already surpassed this age. He is talented and famous. After serving as the general of the guard, he commanded the imperial army. He is majestic and gracious. The imperial army is orderly. Extraordinary.

Sima You is a model of governing the world with benevolence and morality. Under the tradition of the Sima family's black and shady prey, he is simply an anomaly. " Sima Zhao also stated several times on various occasions that the world belongs to his elder brother Sima Shi, and he will be handed over to Sima You to succeed him in a hundred years.

But as Sima Zhao became seriously ill, this voice became weaker, and could not even be heard anymore. Instead, the Yan faction's arrogance came, and they kept lobbying Sima Zhao. He has not expressed his position on the issue of heirs, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sima Zhao's attitude has undergone a fundamental change. Sima Yan's hope of ascending the throne has greatly increased, while Sima You seems to be getting further and further away from the throne.

Liu Yin's words were very sharp, and he pointed straight at Sima You's sore spots impartially. A trace of pain flashed across Sima You's face. This was the last thing he wanted to face, but he had to face it. The problem.

"Mr. Wen, you...don't need to say any more..."

Liu Yin stared at him firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Nian brotherhood is a natural feeling, but a prince must also have his own principles and positions, and must have his own bottom line. This bottom line cannot be crossed by anyone. , People don’t attack me, I won’t attack others, if people attack me, I will attack them!”

Sima You's face became even paler, he kept shaking his head, and his expression became even more painful.

Ji Xi said from the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wen is justified. You have tolerated enough to the son, but the son thinks that you are weak and can be bullied, and you are making progress step by step. You have been coveting the throne. You have no way out now, and it's time to fight back."

Sima You glanced at Ji Xi, and said angrily, "Ji Xi, stop talking nonsense!"

Ji Xi closed his mouth resentfully, but he could still see the injustice on his face.

But Liu Yin said with a leisurely smile: "I think what Ji Sima said is very true. It is very sad that Junhou's repeated forbearance has become weak and deceitful in the eyes of others. There must be a bottom line for concessions. Jun What is Hou's bottom line? Please also make it clear that if Jun Hou continues to make concessions without principles and bottom lines, or even sit back and watch the throne of King Jin fall into the hands of others, then Wen Mou came to the wrong place today, and I will bid farewell to Jun Hou."

Saying that, Liu Yin gave a long salute, turned around and wanted to float away.

"Sir, stay here—" Sima You seemed to be in a hurry, and hurriedly asked to stay.

Liu Yin looked back and said with a smile: "Since Junhou intends to stay here, it means that Junhou still has an upward heart. If this heart is not extinguished, there is hope."

Sima You said with a little worry: "Mr. Wen's words are very reasonable, but what should I do if the father announces that his elder brother will succeed him when he is dying? Is it possible to violate the father's last wish?"

Liu Yin chuckled lightly and said: "Remember, Junhou, no matter what the King Jin's last will is, it was not from the King Jin's heart, but was coerced by the Yan Party's followers. Could it be that such a will, the Junhou still Do you need to comply?"

If Sima You realized something, he nodded lightly, as if he agreed with Liu Yin's statement. In his heart, the father guides the son and the king guides the ministers. His father's words are as heavy as Mount Tai. No violation is allowed, but what Liu Yin said at this time seems to have pointed out a way for him. Since his father's last wish was not from his heart, it has no binding force on him. Sima You may obey or not. Either way, it's all possible.

At this time, the fire of desire for power that has been hidden in Sima You's heart seems to be bursting out. It's not that Sima You has no ambitions or desire for power, but it's just that under the constraints of morality, it has been dusty for too long. Love, brotherhood, like two big mountains have been pressing heavily on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

But at this time, Sima You got rid of the restraint of morality, and felt extremely relaxed, as if a weighty rock had been lifted from his heart, and he suddenly became enlightened.
