The last three kingdoms

Chapter 556 Last Words
Jia Chong also saw that Sima Zhao was dying, and if he didn't decide on the matter of establishing an heir, it might be too late, so he didn't care about other things, leaned over to Sima Zhao, and asked anxiously.

Sima Zhao's throat was twitching, and he tried hard to make a sound, but Jia Chong could not tell what Sima Zhao was talking about except for those strange muffled voices. He tried his best to get close to Sima Zhao. , I want to hear what Sima Zhao is talking about.

But the result undoubtedly disappointed Jia Chong. Even though he put his ear almost close to Sima Zhao's mouth, he still couldn't hear what Sima Zhao said clearly.

"Bring a pen and paper!" At the critical moment, Pei Xiu had an idea and ordered the palace servants to bring a pen and paper.

Jia Chong held the pen in his hand, shook it in front of Sima Zhao's eyes, and asked, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang can't speak, can he write?"

Sima Zhao nodded slightly. Jia Chong was overjoyed, and immediately put the pen into Sima Zhao's hand, supported his wrist, and stuffed the paper under the pen tip.

Sima Zhao had completely lost consciousness on the left half of his body, but he could barely move the right half of his body. Although he held the pen in his right hand, although it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, with Jia Chong's help, he was still trembling on the white paper. A few big crooked characters were left on it: "Chuan Youer."

Writing these words, Sima Zhao seemed to have exhausted his entire life, and he threw away the brush in despair, panting unceasingly.

Although these words are too sloppy and bad, they can still be recognized clearly. When Jia Chong saw these four words, he was stunned immediately.

When Sima Zhao was dying, he still chose Sima You to be his successor.

This made Jia Chong almost have the urge to slap his mouth. You must know that Jia Chong was originally Sima You's father-in-law. In fact, as long as he sat there steadily, with this relationship, it would be difficult for him not to get a position.But Jia Chong thought he was smart and believed that his eldest son Sima Yan had a great chance of winning, so he betrayed his son-in-law and came to seek refuge with Sima Yan, ready to fight for his future.

But what he didn't expect was that Sima Zhao chose Sima You to succeed him at the last moment, which was a heavy blow to Jia Chong.

Holding this page, Jia Chong was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"What did King Jin write?" Pei Xiu moved his head closer, and when he saw the four words clearly on the paper, he couldn't help being stunned.

Although Sima Zhao did not state that he would pass the throne to Sima You, at this critical moment, Sima You came alone without passing on Sima Yan, which is very telling. Sima Zhao's final choice is Sima You.

As a member of the Yan Party, Pei Xiu naturally does not want the throne to fall into the hands of Sima You. It is conceivable that once Sima You inherits the throne, Ren Kai, Yu Chun, Xia Houhe and others of the You Party will inevitably ride on the throne. Come to their heads to domineering, Pei Xiu and the others are members of the Yan Party faction, I am afraid that their official career will come to an end from now on.

Pei Xiu looked around, and besides a few palace servants standing in the distance, there were only a few imperial physicians in the bedroom. These were insignificant people, and because they were far away, they had no way of knowing What is written on the paper.Fortunately for Pei Xiu, Queen Yuan Ji fainted from grief and had already been sent to another palace to rest, otherwise this matter would have been really difficult.

He whispered to Jia Chong: "Brother Gonglu, can you take a step to speak?"

Jia Chong nodded, and the two followed each other to the outside of the hall. Seeing no one around, Jia Chong sighed a long time and said, "It seems that before King Jin died, he finally chose Marquis Wuyang!"

Pei Xiu sighed a little and said: "If Marquis Wuyang is really allowed to inherit the throne, all of us veteran officials will suffer, our official career will be bleak, and even whether we can save our lives is a problem."

Jia Chong's face became ugly. Indeed, if Sima You succeeds, then their good days will come to an end. Previously, they unscrupulously supported Sima Yan and offended Sima You invisibly. Since the dispute, the Yan Party and the You Party have been in dire straits, with constant disputes.Especially Ren Kai and Yu Chun, and Jia Chong are the same enemies. It is foreseeable that after Sima You comes to power, people like Ren Kai and Yu Chun will inevitably gain power, and after gaining power, they will also frantically suppress the Yan Party. The good days of filling them up will come to an end from now on.

"According to King Jin's current situation, this is probably the final decision. Now King Jin can't say anything. Even if you go to persuade him, it may be futile. It is difficult to persuade King Jin to withdraw his life."

Pei Xiu rolled her eyes and said, "What is said in King Jin's book is to summon the Marquis of Wuyang to see him, not to say that Marquis of Wuyang is located in the palace. We only need to pass on the Marquis of Wuyang to enter the palace according to the order, and it will not be considered as violating the edict of King Jin. Brother Gonglu can Let's take a step first and spread the news here to the prince, and let the prince decide everything, what do you think?"

Jia Chong couldn't help but be amazed. Although what Pei Xiu said was far-fetched, it was not unreasonable. From the literal point of view, Sima Zhao's four words were indeed meant to call Sima You into the palace, and there was no other intention. As long as the news is passed to Marquis Wuyang, even if Sima Zhao's orders are fulfilled, it is naturally not a violation of Sima Zhao's intentions.What's more, Sima Zhao's condition is very bad now, he can't speak, even if he wants to refuse, he can't open his mouth.

As for notifying Sima Yan in advance, it can be done in secret. Even if Sima Zhao only summoned Sima You to meet Sima Yan but did not call Sima Yan, Sima Yan came to see his father who was critically ill. , I'm afraid even Sima Zhao couldn't refuse.

As for Sima You's late arrival, I'm sorry, there was some delay on the way, and the news was delivered late, which is also reasonable.

Sima Zhao's life is hanging by a thread, whoever comes earlier can take the initiative.After Sima Yan came, everything was decided by Sima Yan himself. At most, these foreign ministers were attached to these princes. The real decision was made by the eldest son Sima Yan himself.

Jia Chong nodded and said: "Brother Ji Yan is resourceful and resourceful. This plan is very clever. Let's act accordingly."

Pei Xiu also nodded and said: "It's not too late. Brother Gonglu should be invited to come in person. Please come quickly, without any delay. As for Marquis Wuyang, brother Gonglu only needs to send someone to go, and he can go as long as possible." Take this detour more, and inform Wuyang Hou as late as possible, Luoyang roads are congested, and no one can blame you for being a few hours late."
