"Pit" you for three lives and three lives

Chapter 37

Sima Yu didn't notice Ahri's thoughts at all.

He could feel the difference between Ari and him, and he felt that most of his worries were gone.

This child has been going smoothly since he was a child, and the only thing he can't ask for is Ari.He snatched Ari earlier, although he said that he had nothing to do to Xie Lian, but he still felt guilty subconsciously.Now that his wife is intimate with him, Xie Lian also married a new beauty, and the reeds and jade trees are in harmony with each other, envious of others, so even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction is gone.

It has been so consummated, he really can't think of any reason to make life difficult for himself.

For a time, the wind was strong, the sea and the sky were bright, high-spirited, and the old ways reverted.

Life is very comfortable.

Although the emperor is in his forties, he feels that he is in good health and can support his son for a few more years, so he will let him torment.

Ari has been with him for two lifetimes, but she has long been used to his tossing and tossing.Following him to Jiewa in the house, it seemed as if he had returned to the scene back then.If the phrase "they lived happily ever after" in the fairy tale is related to reality, Ari thinks it is nothing more than that.

It's just that occasionally when I dream back in the middle of the night, when I wake up and see him sleeping soundly beside me, completely dreamless, with "satisfaction" written on the corners of my brows and eyes, I can't help but sigh.I don't know how long such a good time will last.

In the spring of the 21st year of Zhaoming, the fifth year after Beiyan was annexed by Beiqin, a major event happened in Beiqin—the Han prime minister whom Emperor Qin relied heavily on finally became sick from overwork and couldn't afford it.Before he died, he left his last words: Although the Sima family is in a peaceful place, it is the orthodox of China.Only the Xianbei and the Qiang people have the hatred of destroying the country with Qin, which is a serious trouble in the heart, and it should be eliminated quickly.

It's a pity that he didn't beat Emperor Qin in these two matters when he was alive, and naturally he couldn't do it after his death.

Emperor Qin, you can say that he is two, that he is upright.In short, although this person was reincarnated as a barbarian, he has a heart of Han people, the heart of a sage of the Han people.He practiced the Confucian sages that even the emperors of the Han people did not fully believe in.At least at this time of his life, there is no second king in the world who is as virtuous and inclusive as he is.

You can't let a barbarian with a Han heart just be the emperor of the barbarians. Sooner or later, he will seize the orthodoxy of the Han people and become the emperor of the Han people.

In June, from Jingzhou to Xuzhou, encounters, large and small, followed one after another.So everyone knew that Bei Qin started to test.

The emperor wanted Sima Yu to patrol the front line on his behalf, urging defense.These days, he kept him by his side, handling the government affairs for him, and giving him advice face to face.

There are some things in the core of the Sima family that cannot be changed.

There are some responsibilities that whoever is the future king will have to face.

One is to drive out the northern captives and conquer China, and the other is to bring order out of chaos and strengthen the weak.

Both are still far away.The so-called expulsion of the northern captives, what we need to do now is to keep Guozuo and prevent it from being annexed by the barbarians.And the so-called strong base and weak branches, in the final analysis, is nothing more than suppressing the family and consolidating the imperial power.Take the military administration of the thirteen states in the world into your own hands.Even the Wang and Xie families admitted that it was imperative to do this, but even the emperor himself knew that it couldn't be done.As for why "cannot do it", it is also a debt owed by the ancestors.

Sima Yu had his own thoughts, but he just didn't say anything.

When he was eleven or twelve years old, he once asked Prince Sheren how the Sima family came to be.The crown prince did not dare to tell him the truth, but only said that the internal strife had not stopped, and foreign troubles had arisen again.The Xiongnu, Qiang, and Jie Sanhu swept across the land and besieged Luoyang.Emperor Xiaozhuang and his two sons abandoned the city and fled. They died at the hands of the rebels, and Jin Zuo was about to die.Empress Xiaozhuang Wang Minghui proclaimed the regime in front of the court, tried her best to turn the tide, and defended alone, blocking Sanhu force to the north of Luoshui.Empress Xiaozhuang knew that Luoyang could not be defended, so she ordered King Langya to go south to Jiangzuo to establish another foundation.In the next three years, Xianbei and Di Erhu turned against each other, Luoyang City was destroyed, and Empress Xiaozhuang died for the country.And King Langya also proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangzuo, and the torch was passed on from generation to generation, continuing the foundation.That's why there is today's world.

Sima Yu was just asking casually, but after listening to him speak from the middle way, he knew that his ancestor might have done something disgraceful when he conquered the world.Instead, he took heart.

In the past few days, I ran forward every day, and suddenly I remembered this paragraph again.So he brought it to ask the Taifu.At that time, Xie Huan and Wang Tan were playing chess and discussing endless things at the same time.

Listening to Sima Yu's question, they looked at each other and nodded each other.Then on the finger painting on the chessboard, from the time when the world was divided into three parts, Cao Wei was talked about by Zen, and he talked about how Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu and his son persecuted and seized the throne from the orphans and widows.

Sima Yu sat on the couch and listened. After listening, he buried his head in his hidden bag without saying a word. ①
Since the throne was seized in this way, it is only one's own fault to be taken away as it is.When the Sima Clan usurped the throne, he probably did not expect that there would be another aristocratic family who would take over the power and would like to emulate his orphans and widows.

Naturally, it has not reached this point yet, but Sima Yu can almost predict that such a day will come sooner or later.

At that time, the aristocratic family and the Sima family were ministers in the same palace, so they could not be said to be in awe and loyalty.Naturally, there are not too many taboos about rebellion and abolition, but they are all seeking their own self-interest.The root cause of the chaos in this dynasty has long been buried, and it cannot be rectified for a while.Either think about it in the long run, or you can only find another way - Sima Yu also understood the purpose of the Tai Tuo and Wang Tan telling him these things.

Sima Yu was depressed for a while, then said again: "Tell me about what happened afterwards."

The Taifu then talked about Empress Jia's chaos in the past, when Emperor Xiaozhuang was the prince, he kept a low profile for self-protection, pretending to be fatuous.However, Empress Jia still didn't let him go, intending to frame him for treason.Emperor Xiaozhuang preemptively killed Jia Hou and Zhao Wang and his party, and publicized his crimes to the world.Soon after, Emperor Hui abdicated.Emperor Xiaozhuang ascended the throne.It's a pity that the world is already in chaos, and Emperor Xiaozhuang is unable to recover.When the Hu people came to Luoyang, he would abandon the city and go south.

This paragraph, Sima Yu had already heard from Prince Sheren.However, when the Taifu spoke, he still listened quietly.The Tai Tuo spoke in detail, what happened in just a few months was longer than the previous ten years.

After he finished talking about Empress Xiaozhuang's death for the country, he stopped again and remained silent for a long time.

Sima Yu knew that when he asked about the founding of the country, the crown prince Sheren started from Empress Xiaozhuang, and there was nothing wrong with that.From the day when the empress tried her best to stop Wuhu and recommended Xuanyuan with blood, Jiang Shan's real surname was Sima.

——Even if the throne does not come rightly, if you get it, you get it.As long as he stays in this seat for a day, Sima is the only Zhengshuo.It is an unshirkable duty to expel Beihu and restore the Central Plains.Everything else must come second.

He asked: "Where is the mausoleum of Empress Xiaozhuang?"

Wang Tan said: "At Mang Mountain in Luoyang. Back then, the minister and the general fought back to Luoyang to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum, and saw that the mausoleum of Empress Xiaozhuangzhen is still there. However, the mausoleum at Mangshan Mountain is just a tomb of clothes."

"This is also an anecdote." Speaking of this episode, even the Taifu couldn't help but gossip. "When Murong Hong invaded Luoyang, Empress Xiaozhuang committed suicide in front of him. Convinced, he was buried with the emperor's rites, and the coffin was suspended for one month. During the burial, there was a colorful light in the coffin of the former empress, which looked like a phoenix, and flew away. Murong Hong opened the coffin to examine, and there was only clothes and hats inside. The body of the former empress was nowhere to be found. gone."

Sima Yu was a little puzzled by what the tutor said, "How could such a thing happen?"

The Tai Tu said: "I didn't believe it at the beginning, but people saw it when the empress committed suicide and was buried. If it is said that the common people look forward to it, it's nothing more than a fabrication. However, the Murong family also said the same, I'm afraid it's a little bit real."

This was just gossip, but Sima Yu wanted to pursue it for some reason.

Naturally, there is no result.

Then he said, "What happened next?"

The Taifu then told him how Emperor Zhongzong made his way to establish a foundation in Jiangdong.When it comes to Emperor Zhongzong, it is natural to mention Empress Zhongzong.

Emperor Zhongzong was a very mediocre and cowardly person. If his father and his two older brothers hadn't died under the rebellion, it would never have been his turn to save the world.Although he is simple and diligent, he never forgets the last order of Empress Xiaozhuang, but his aptitude is already there.He's not that stuff.Only two years after he ascended the throne, the power fell into Wang Du's hands.Wang Du made a rebellion, he couldn't suppress it, and he had little power to fight back.

At this time, Empress Zhongzong stepped forward.

This is a woman with great wisdom and courage. Wang Du stationed troops in Stone City, and the court was full of fear, so she dared to go to the enemy camp alone to find out the truth.For Ari, she is simply a cheat for Emperor Zhongzong by the system.When Wang Du was at its most powerful, she began to use the hand of Emperor Zhongzong to issue edicts.Promote rookies, win Jiangzuo natives, deploy rebellion, and disintegrate Wang Du's tribe... miraculously turned defeat into victory, and quelled the rebellion.

In the next ten years, all the imperial edicts of the Zhongzong Dynasty, big or small, came from her hands.She and Huan Buqing, one inside and one outside, forged the prosperity of Zhongxing.Huan Buqing’s first Northern Expedition reached Pingcheng like a broken bamboo, and regained all the homeland south of the Yellow River. When it was about to be completed, the Jinping Mountains collapsed and the mainstay collapsed—Empress Zhongzong died.

Huan Buqing hastily returned to the army, which made Murong Jun famous, and failed in the first Northern Expedition.

Two years later, Emperor Zhongzong died.Three years later, Sima Yu's grandfather, Emperor Xiaomu, came to the throne.

After that, Sima Yu heard it countless times.But this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Emperor Zhongzong died, and when grandfather ascended the throne, there will be three years in between, why didn't the Taifu say anything?"

Xie Huan and Wang Tan looked at each other, and their expressions were a little subtle, "It's not impossible to say in the past three years." But where to start, it's a bit difficult, "Emperor Zhongzong has no son..."

Sima Yu nodded, thoughtfully, "The kings are fighting for the throne?"

"Not really..." Xie Huan said with a smile, "Emperor Zhongzong insisted on supporting Empress Xiaozhen's only daughter to ascend the throne. After Empress Xiaozhen passed away, Emperor Zhongzong abdicated, and in the next five years...the Empress came to court."

It's no wonder why it's so secretive.However, for more than twenty years, it was women who were trying to turn the tide, and everyone would wonder, what happened to the men of the Sima family?It was a matter of course for a female emperor to emerge at this time.

It's just that even the Taifu refused to tell the truth, I'm afraid that his grandfather's throne would be even more disgraceful.

Sima Yu didn't even know whether to ask or not.

In the end, I still asked, "How did my aunt abdicate?"

Both Tai Tuo and Wang Tan lowered their heads to drink tea, and after a while, they asked again: "Do you believe, Your Highness, that there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

Sima Yu: ...how come his women have such a relationship with ghosts and gods?

"Same as Empress Xiaozhuang?"

"We are not far away." Xie Huan said, "The army forced the palace, and it was completely surrounded. Under the eyes of everyone, the princess was still in the palace one moment, and the palace was full of sunshine the next moment. When the kings entered the palace to meet, there was only a piece of imperial edict left on the throne. I have disappeared." He paused for a while, and then said, "I was still young at the time, but I saw this with my own eyes."
