Royal road

In the past two days, Cui Ji didn't dare to neglect, and went out more and more frequently.He is not qualified to attend the banquet of the King of the East China Sea, but he may not be clueless about the affairs of the other party's mansion.It's just that what I discovered today is really chilling.

He hurried back to the mansion, unexpectedly saw Fujun's bullock cart when he entered the door.This is back?Cui Ji was taken aback and walked quickly into the bedroom.Before seeing anyone, I heard Jiang Da's angry voice: "Master, you must never go to the banquet again! If you can't help it today and use loose stones again, what should you do?"

Cui Ji stepped forward quickly: "Your Majesty, what happened to the banquet today!"

Although Liang Feng looked tired, he was not in a bad mood: "Fortunately, the King of the East China Sea didn't make things difficult, and his tone was a little loose. He just mentioned sending troops to garrison Bingzhou. I don't know what his intention is?"

Cui Ji thumped in his heart: "The lower officials have also inquired about similar news. It is said that someone from Taiwei's mansion came forward to persuade the king of the East China Sea to lead Sizhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou and other state capitals, and serve as state shepherds in person."

Liang Feng stared coldly, and said with a sneer, "What a drudgery!"

In the Han Dynasty, there was a governor who was responsible for supervising local officials including the prefect of Erqianshi.Later, the governor was changed to the governor of the state, and the scope of power was expanded to command the military and political power of a state.However, in this way, the power of state herdsmen in various places increased greatly, which led to the rise of all heroes during the Three Kingdoms period.Therefore, after Sima Yan replaced Wei, the title of state shepherd was abolished, and the governor was only in charge of civil affairs, while military power was handed over to the commander-in-chief of the army.

At this moment, the restoration of Lizhou Mu is just because Sima Yue wants to hold all the power in his hands.If the military and government affairs are all owned by one person, the governor will become empty-handed.

"The current strategy depends on when the King of the East China Sea raises this matter. If it happens on the first day of the seventh month, there may be a turning point." Cui Ji said in a deep voice with a worried expression on his face.

Liang Feng sneered, "Let him go. Even if I become governor, I won't have military power. Now it's better to return to Shangdang as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Cui Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at the man leaning on the couch.I don't know if it's an illusion, but the lingering anger seems to have disappeared overnight.Although the sickness is still there, the vitality hidden under it has gradually recovered, making that person look like he was in Shangdang before, calm and calm, neither arrogant nor rash.As if a big stone had settled in his heart, Cui Ji nodded solemnly: "What the Fujun said is not bad, the matter has come to this point, it is better to return as soon as possible."

Shangdang, after all, is the foundation.Didn't you have military power before?It's not that they have tossed out the garrison troops, and even won the two counties of Yangyi and Qiyang.It's just that the prefect is fashionable and so, what if he really became the governor without the support of the imperial court and even Sima Yue?It's just a long way to go, just another journey.

Jiang Dake didn't care what they said, and scolded Cui Ji: "My lord needs to rest, if it's nothing serious, we'll discuss it later!"

Liang Feng waved to Cui Ji, and lay down obediently, allowing Jiang Da to perform acupuncture and moxibustion.

Cui Ji sighed softly in his heart.During this visit to Luo, he really can't play much role, if he can be more useful, that would be great.Suppressing the feeling of remorse in his heart, he knelt and sat down beside him, quietly watching Jiang Da administer the needle.

Gou Xi won a game in Jingzhou, and the [-] puppet imperial troops who were killed were turned on their backs.Hearing this news, Sima Yue was really happy.It seems that Jingzhou should add more troops. If Sima Ying's army can be wiped out before this winter, the political situation in Luoyang will be completely stabilized.

But before that, you should take care of the surrounding states and counties.When he went to court today, he had already spoken to the emperor and proposed to serve as the governor of the state concurrently.After the King of Chengdu is resolved, he should be able to be named prime minister.Leaning against the soft pile of brocade, Sima Yue only felt refreshed physically and mentally.As long as the power is in hand, other arrangements are not a trivial matter?

However, just as the maiko was called to entertain for a while, there was an exclamation from outside the house: "It's a solar eclipse! It's a solar eclipse!"

What? !Sima Yue turned over in shock, and rushed out of the hall barefoot without putting on his shoes.In the sky, the setting sun became dizzy, as if the night had fallen early, and the dark clouds were densely covered.The perfectly round sun disk has been eaten away by the dog and has become incomplete.But the shadow continued to expand, seemingly endlessly.

Sima Yue's whole body became cold.How could this be so?Isn't there a solar eclipse in Zhengdan? !Coupled with the red sun at the funeral of the late emperor, could it be that the heaven really can't understand him as a Taiwei? !

Yaoyao took a step back, and Sima Yue shouted angrily: "Come on, change clothes with me, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!"

At the same moment, Liang Feng was also sitting on the porch of the mansion, looking at the waning sun in the basin.The sound of gongs and drums came from the ear, it should be that each family started beating and beating, trying to scare away the tengu.In this era, the fear of changes in the sky is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the world.Even those princes and ministers who are in charge of the government cannot escape the shackles of the "induction between heaven and man".

With this "sign from heaven", he is probably one step closer to returning to Shangdang.

From the beginning of the solar eclipse to the complete subsidence, it took more than a moment.When the sky finally returned to normal, Sima Yue didn't dare to stop for a while, and immediately entered the palace to report to the emperor.

I don't know if he had expected him to enter the palace long ago, the little emperor changed into his normal clothes, his complexion turned pale, and he asked, "I wonder if Taishi Ling has ever measured the natural phenomenon?"

Astronomical phenomena such as solar eclipses must be predicted in advance by Tai Shiling and reported to the Ming court.Sima Yue's face was gloomy, and he replied in a low voice: "Before the late emperor passed away, all the officials were scattered. The former Taishiling passed away due to illness, and now a newcomer is taking over..."

"The calendar hasn't been changed, so how can we tell the difference between the old and the new?" The little emperor looked pale and frowned, "Could it be that there is a disaster from the sky, and the Taishi Order can't detect it? Doesn't the court have any rules to follow?"

Sima Yue's eyebrows twitched violently. When encountering a sudden solar eclipse, there is indeed a routine, and it is the crime of the three men!As the Taiwei who is the head of the three princes, he should immediately sin against himself, and even resign to thank the world.

How could Sima Yue accept such a thing? !Lifting the hem of his robe, he knelt down in front of the little emperor, "I think it was the traitorous king of Chengdu who caused the vision to descend from the sky. Send troops again to clear up the rebels!"

This is shirking responsibility and once again wrestling with the emperor.

The little emperor looked at his uncle's drooping head, and lightly squeezed his fists hidden in his big sleeves: "What the Taiwei said is true. Send an edict tomorrow to increase troops in Jingzhou."

Sima Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to get up, the emperor opposite said again: "By the way, the matter of the state shepherd should also be postponed, so as not to attract criticism..."

Sima Yue's back froze immediately, half kneeling and half rising, he stood in a stalemate for a moment, and finally said: "I obey."

This is the emperor's hint that he has done something extraordinary.However, Sima Yue had no choice but to obey orders. Could it be that after the solar eclipse, he announced that he would be the state shepherd?I'm afraid I can't stop the mouth of the world!The most important thing now is to get rid of the King of Chengdu first.If this disaster is not eliminated, it will be troublesome for this cunning child to grow up!

The next day, the decree was circulated, further intensifying the offensive against Jingzhou.However, before the soldiers were dispatched, an even more shocking news came from the west.

Chang'an was broken!The Xiongnu drove straight in and occupied this former West Terrace!

"How could this be?!" Sima Yue almost jumped up when he heard the news.Didn't Chang'an still have a lot of guards?Why was it so easily captured by the Huns?Jingzhou is still in a hurry, how will he deal with this group of Rongdi who are like tigers and wolves? !

"It is said that the Xiongnu suddenly launched an attack after the solar eclipse and broke the city in World War I. Now the Kanto is in a hurry!"

Hearing the messenger's report, Sima Yue felt dizzy.eclipse!Another solar eclipse!How many rebellious ministers are there who conceal the emperor? !

Wait, eclipse siege!Sima Yue suddenly said: "Where is Shangdang Liang Zixi?!"

"Still waiting in the official residence..."

"Quickly designate him as Inspector, your Majesty will resign tomorrow, and return to Bingzhou to defend against the enemy!" Sima Yue shouted loudly.

That's right, didn't Liang Zixi encounter a solar eclipse when he attacked Yangyi?Fight back against the Huns!Maybe he is the one sent by heaven to put down the hypocrites!It's better to let him return to Bingzhou as soon as possible and copy Liu Yuan's hometown!Even if the puppet Han now moves to Sizhou and conquers Chang'an, Bingzhou is still the foundation of the five Huns.If Liang Zixi is allowed to disturb the overall situation of Bingzhou, wouldn't the pressure on Sizhou and even Yongzhou be relieved?

It just so happens that I can't be a state shepherd anymore, so I might as well follow the trend and follow the emperor's wishes.Moreover, Liang Zixi is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs, he has surrendered to himself before, and now that he is an official, he should also remember his kindness.Wouldn't it be great to kill two birds with one stone like this?

As for the military power... Sima Yue hesitated for a moment, then settled down.It is still necessary to send a reliable person as the governor of Bingzhou to preside over the military affairs of a state.Then Liang Zixi, as long as he is a bicycle governor, it will be fine!

Three times, five times and two times settled the errand that had been suspended for a long time, Sima Yue rubbed his aching forehead, sighed, and called for someone to fetch the elixir.These troublesome things always make people worry, it is better to take pills, forget the world and relieve worries...

"The minister leads the order."

After receiving the imperial edict from the servant of Huangmen, Liang Feng got up slowly, but there was no trace of joy in his heart.Sima Yue finally let go and let him take up the post of governor of Bingzhou.But at the same time, there was also news that the Xiongnu had captured Chang'an and occupied the western capital.Taking over the position of governor now means that he has been sent to the forefront, and there is no other way but to fight the Huns to death.

It is indeed Liang Feng's long-cherished wish to attack the Xiongnu and regain Bingzhou.However, without military power and unable to dispatch soldiers, is this battle easy to fight?I'm afraid there will be a big fight.

However, the hidden worry was only for a moment, and Liang Feng waved away those distracting thoughts in his heart.After all, we are going back!As long as you return to Shangdang, where you live, are you still afraid of these things?

As if taking off the heavy shackles on his body, he straightened his back and let out a long sigh.

On the second day, Liang Feng went to the palace again, respectfully addressed his majesty in front of the young emperor, and received symbolic tax exemption and preferential treatment of using Bingzhou's inventory from Sima Yue.The group left the chaotic city of Luoyang and headed for Bingzhou!
