The last three kingdoms

Chapter 915 Harvest Autumn
Autumn is a season of harvest, and the autumn of the eighth year of Taishi was even more joyous. Luoyang, the capital of Jin State, was immersed in the joy of a good harvest.

For ordinary people, this year is a good harvest year with good weather and abundant grains. Seeing the heavy ears of grain and bending over with a smile, the hearts of ordinary people are happy.

Common people's happiness is always so simple, charging three or five dollars more can make them happy for a whole year, but those noble people who live in the temple, what they care about is another thing.

The great victory in Jizhou, the chaos subsided, the news came, the court hall in Luoyang was full of jubilation, Sima Yan was excited, a big banquet was held above the main hall to congratulate, all the ministers came up one after another to sing their praises.

Since the rebellion of the Huns three years ago, the nascent state of Jin has experienced a crisis of nearly overthrowing. Ji, Qing and You are in chaos, and the entire area north of the Yellow River is in turmoil. , approaching only a few tens of miles away from Luoyang.

At that time, it could be called the most dangerous moment of the Jin Dynasty. There was the Huns in the north, the Zhonghui Rebellion in the south, and the surrounding Shu and Wu countries were eyeing each other.

But today, these dark days are finally over, and Sima Yan can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The courtiers of the Jin Kingdom celebrated each other at the banquet with smiles on their faces.

But there was one person who couldn't be happy, sitting alone in a corner of the hall, pouring himself a drink, with a gloomy and unhappy expression.

He is Ruyin King Sima Jun.

After Sima Jun lost Pujin Pass, he had no choice but to return to Luoyang in despair, and in front of Sima Yan, he ruthlessly participated in Yanghu's book.

It can be said that the person Sima Jun hates the most is Yang Hu.Liu Yin attacked Pujin Pass. The two countries were fighting each other. It is normal to attack each other. Even if you lose the battle, you can't blame anyone. But Yang Hu, as the governor of Hebei, had already led his troops into Jinyang at that time. , not too far from Pujin Pass, but Yang Hu didn't send rescue, but said some sarcastic remarks there, telling Sima Jun to give up Pujin Pass and not to be an enemy of Liu Yin.

This bastard, relying on his own little achievements, dares to openly communicate with foreign countries, colludes with Shu, and betrays the territory of Jin, which is tolerable or unbearable. When Sima Jun saw Sima Yan, he burst into tears , Handed in the memorial to participate in Yanghu, and directly put a big hat on Yanghu as a traitor and begged for glory, and asked Sima Yan to punish Yanghu for his crimes.

What Yang Hu did, Sima Yan naturally knew very well, otherwise he would not have sent someone to beat Wen Yang, but Sima Yan knew better that no one could replace Yang Hu, even if Yang Hu did something a little out of line However, Sima Yan must also have some tolerance, a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans, and everything must be based on the overall situation.

But fortunately, although Yang Hu and Liu Yin secretly communicated with each other, they were still not on the point of betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy. Sima Yan could only turn a blind eye and let him go.

Sima Jun came to participate in Yanghu, and the appearance of bitterness and hatred only gave Sima Yan a headache. Sima Jun is Sima Yan's uncle. Due to his seniority, Sima Yan still respects Sima Jun. But no matter how respectful it is, it doesn't mean that Sima Yan will obey him. Now that the battle to destroy the Hu is at a critical moment, not to mention that it is a taboo for military strategists to change commanders just before the battle, but Sima Yan has no generals to change. Sima Yan It can only be to appease Sima Jun with kind words, and not to pursue Yang Hu's actions for the time being.

As for Sima Jun's loss of the Pujin Pass, Sima Yan didn't even mention it, which is considered a great face for his uncle. If other generals lose such an important pass, they will be dismissed from office at least, and the military law at worst. Deal with it, but Sima Jun has nothing to do with it.

Since then, Sima Jun has been idle in Luoyang. When Yanghu Wenyang was fighting fiercely with the Huns in Bingzhou and Jizhou, Sima Jun stayed in the mansion of King Ruyin, doing nothing.

What depresses him the most is that Yanghu marched all the way in Bingzhou and Jizhou, and finally wiped out Liu Yuan. Although this war was not only the credit of the Jin army, the Shu army also played a role that cannot be ignored, especially in the elimination of Liu Yuan. In Liu Yuan's last battle, the Shu army almost completed it independently.

But this can't cover up Yang Hu's contribution in the slightest. Sima Jun understands that after this battle, Yang Hu's reputation will reach its peak, and it will be even more difficult to bring him down.

However, Sima Jun's hatred for Yang Hu is as deep as the sea. The more beautiful Yang Hu is, the more Sima Jun hates him, and the more jealousy is mixed in it. The more ear-piercing it was, at the banquet, everyone was talking loudly, but Sima Jun remained silent, secretly planning something.

After the banquet, all the ministers were drunk and bid farewell to Sima Yan.

Sima Yan also drank too much, it was rare to be happy today, so he drank a few more cups, seeing the ministers retreating, Sima Yan was still very excited, and decided to continue to take the sheep cart to the concubine Linxing tonight.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is difficult for Sima Yan to share the rain and dew. Sima Yan himself also suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Where to stay every night is indeed a headache.

Later Sima Yan didn't think about it at all, he rode in a sheep cart, and when the sheep cart stopped there, he stayed overnight at the concubine's place, letting God's will choose.

It's just that Sima Yan didn't know that in order to win the favor of the emperor, the concubines in the harem tried their best to lure the sheep cart to stop at their door.

Sima Yan yawned, and just as he was about to get up, Sima Jun stepped forward to salute: "Meet Your Majesty."

Sima Yan said: "The emperor's uncle is free. Today is a day of universal celebration. Why do I see the emperor's uncle so sad? Could it be that my wine is not good?"

Sima Jun said: "Don't you dare? Your Majesty's gift is fine wine. How dare I despise such a rare wine in the world."

"Then I'm wondering, what could make Uncle Huang so unhappy?" Sima Yan wondered
"I disturbed your majesty's interest, and begged for forgiveness. What I worry about is the disaster of the country." Sima Jun cupped his hands.

Sima Yan was bewildered and said: "Why did the emperor say that? Now that the Xiongnu is in peace and the world is in peace, it is a blessing for the country. Why is there any trouble?"

Sima Jun respectfully said: "People do not have long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries. Your Majesty, although the Xiongnu are flat today, the country and society of the Jin Dynasty are in an unprecedented crisis. The alarmist talk of non-subjects, the disaster of the country's subjugation in the Jin Dynasty, It’s definitely not groundless, and it’s right in front of you!”
