The last three kingdoms

Chapter 536
"Wen Chuan?" Sima Yan was slightly taken aback. In his impression, there was no such person among the court ministers. There were not many people with the surname Wen. Sima Yan only knew about the Pinglu Guards. Wen Yang, although Wen Yang is extremely brave, he is a capricious person, and Sima Yan is quite dissatisfied with him.As for Wen Chuan who suddenly appeared halfway, Sima Yan really had no impression.

Yang Xiu explained: "This Wen Chuan was not from a scholar family, but a wealthy businessman from Jingzhou. Through the relationship of Shi Bao's son Shi Chong, he donated an official position to the matter. You know it, son. Zhong itself is a kind of official promotion, which can be big or small, true or false, and this Wenchuan donation is just a mixed title of Cong Wupin, and has no actual job. But this person has great powers, I don’t know By what means, he managed to cling to Marquis Wuyang, and now it is said that he is the most powerful adviser under Marquis Wuyang, and it was his scheme to win over You Dang."

"It's simply unreasonable. A lowly businessman can also sell officials and nobles to get into the official career. What do Li Cao and his gang eat? No, tomorrow I will have to read a book from Li Cao. This kind of behavior is different from that of Han Lingdi. Really Harm the country and harm the people!" Sima Yan said indignantly.

Yang Xiu smiled wryly and said, "The official Cao Shangshu Wang Zhao is the son of Taiwei Wang Xiang. Can the son join him?"

Sima Yan couldn't help being startled, talking about the intricate relationship in the officialdom, obviously Yang Xiu was much clearer than Sima Yan. Because of righteous indignation, Sima Yan was going to join the official Cao Shangshu, but unexpectedly the official Cao Shangshu was the son of Wang Xiang. Wang Xianggui was the third prince, and he was the person Sima Yan relied on. If he went to join Wang Zhao, wouldn't he be turning against Wang Xiang?

Selling officials to sell nobles has happened in all dynasties. Such bad deeds will not change with the change of dynasties. Of course Sima Yan is very clear. It is not an easy task to cure this stubborn disease.

Giving up the idea of ​​dealing with Wang Zhao, Sima Yan said bitterly, "For a businessman to have such a strategy, God bless Sima You!"

At this moment, the disciples communicated, and Jia Chong asked to see him.

Sima Yan knew that Ji Chong was here, so he was reporting to him. Although Sima Yan had already grasped the situation by [-]% or [-]%, he still welcomed Jia Chong in politely.

There was basically no chatter at the meeting, so Jia Chong told Sima Yan straightforwardly that the situation was not good. Although Sima Zhao had not made a conclusion so far, Jia Chong and others were very clear. A change has taken place, and the situation is no longer optimistic.

Now the Yan Party and You Party are facing each other tit-for-tat, and the advantages that the Yan Party once occupied are gone. Sima Zhao was originally inclined to Sima You's ascension to the throne, but now with the support of Ren Kai, Yu Chun and others, the possibility of Sima You fighting for the throne Even bigger, which made Jia Chong quite a headache.

If Sima Zhao chose Sima You instead of Sima Yan this time, it would be a big joke. You must know that Sima You was originally Jia Chong’s son-in-law. Now he is on the wrong team and handed over the great opportunity of promotion to others, which makes Jia Chong quite embarrassed.

Even if Sima You gets married again now, it is still difficult to gain Sima You's trust, so Jia Chong can only go to the dark one way, no matter whether Sima You is in power now, he can only continue to support Sima Yan.The current him, and Sima Yan are like grasshoppers on a rope, neither you nor me can escape.

"My son, after the discussion was over, Taifu Sima Fu went to see the King of Jin alone. Although his words are unknown, Sima Fu, who has always been ambiguous and never expresses his position easily, actually took the initiative to go to the King of Jin. I am afraid that he has ulterior motives. The prince must guard against it." At this most sensitive time, any disturbance would affect Jia Chong's nerves, not to mention Sima Fu's initiative to meet Sima Zhao, which undoubtedly made the battle for the heir apparent more complicated and confusing.

Sima Yan said indignantly: "This old fried dough stick, I visited him a few days ago and took a soft nail on him. He said that he was going to live his life and stop caring about political affairs. Unexpectedly, he changed his mind after only a few days. Hmph, my father has always respected him very much, if he speaks out, my father will listen to him."

Sima Yan knew that Sima Fu was one of the few extremely trusted people of his father, King Sima Zhao. Before that, Sima Zhao had called Wang Xiang, He Zeng and Sima Fu to discuss the establishment of the crown prince at the same time. Although Wang and He had clearly expressed their support for Sima Yan, Sima Zhao didn't believe it, and focused on Sima Yun's opinion. Sima Fu never made a statement, and the battle for succession has always been unresolved.

It seemed that Sima Zhao would soon announce the candidate for the successor. Sima Yan frowned. He had already paid a great price for the succession. If he failed, it would be an unbearable burden for Sima Yan.

"Does Ming Gong have a plan?" Sima Yan was helpless now, so he could only ask Yu Jia Chong.

Jia Chong had to think for a long time, and said: "The only solution now is to keep a close eye on the Jin Palace. If there is any disturbance, you must act first. It was mentioned in the discussion just now that in view of the His condition is deteriorating, and besides the place where the imperial physician is guarding, all the ministers will also wait outside the hall in different shifts. Before King Jin dies, there will definitely be an explanation, we just have to wait for the result."

Jia Chong thought over and over again, Sima Zhao is seriously ill now, and only by controlling the entire Jin Palace, can he ensure that in case, there is no room for half-hearted affection in the palace, Jia Chong already has a plan No matter what, he must assist Sima Yan to win the heir apparent.

It's just that the You Party is now powerful, especially the relationship between Ren Kai, Yu Chun and Jia Chong is already hostile. You look down on me, and I don't look up on you. It is better to say that it is a comprehensive contest between the two factions, success and failure are often only a matter of one thought.

For Jia Chong, who is obsessed with playing tricks, turning to Sima Yan is to prepare for a bright future for himself. As long as Sima Yan ascends the throne, he will be the founding minister of the country. Such an honor is enough to glorify his descendants. Still don't care much.

Regardless of whether it is a clean stream or a turbid stream, Jia Chong only knows the truth of success and defeat. Only those who stand at the pinnacle of power will be worshiped by the world. Jia Chong secretly made up his mind that no matter how much he pays, he will never allow this miss.

Sima Yan saluted and said, "Everything depends on Duke Ming."

Jia Chong didn't dare to meet him, and replied: "Don't worry, my son, I will do my best to ensure my son's ascension to the throne."

Sima Yan nodded in satisfaction, and said, "If Yan is lucky enough to ascend to the throne in the future, I will thank Duke Ming generously."
