Self Rescue of the Faint King

In the end, Yang Guang, who had returned to the capital in a hurry, discovered something miraculously. Sima Yan actually wrote the edict of abdication and showed it to him, expressing fiercely that he wanted to be a quiet and beautiful emperor!

What about the power struggle between the agreed father and son?

Sima Yan is also the king of a country after all, can he be so capricious?

Yang Guang really looked dumbfounded, Sima Yan didn't see his son's moved appearance, and felt unwilling.

However, this self-willed person made people speechless. His Royal Highness just came back, and the emperor couldn't wait to abdicate. What does this mean?

The courtiers couldn't understand the emperor's style of painting. It's really rare for an emperor who doesn't love imperial power!

Moreover, this is also the founder of the country. He didn't want to work hard and leave a huge family business for future generations, so he abdicated so willfully. Is it really okay?

The main problem is that they really don't want to face the murderous His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all.

Your Majesty, please don't give up.

Therefore, the scene of the courtiers crying and begging His Majesty the Emperor actually made Sima Yan more determined to take the Zen throne.

Incredible!

After talking and talking, in the end, it was still impossible to stop the emperor's willful behavior, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne smoothly.

No one in the ruling and opposition parties dared to question His Highness the Crown Prince's ability. They were almost pissed off because they were reluctant to bear the Emperor, not because they were dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Uh, it's His Majesty the Emperor now, so please don't be too cruel.

Being an official is not easy!

However, after Yang Guang came to power this time, there were various rectifications immediately, and they were all drastic.

The two systems, the probation system and the nine-rank system, obviously can't keep up with the development of society, and the range of options is too narrow. Yang Guang feels that it is necessary to add a certain range of assessment.

Although the scope is not wide, it seems that it is only experimental at present, but the shock caused by scholars who can pass the exam and become an official in the court is not small at all.

Although it seems that the gentry nobles occupy most of the quota at present, and the proportion of children from poor families who can participate in the scientific examination is not high, but this is enough to make people crazy.

After all, recruitment orders, recommendations and the like always require connections, but taking the exam, as long as you are talented, you can have a bright future.

When the emperor came to the throne for the first time, he made a so-called Enke to test the waters, but the response was naturally full of applause!

Sima Yan, who has become the emperor, took his huge harem to the palace to show off. After he came back, he found that his son had tossed new tricks. Not only was he not angry, but he praised his son triumphantly.

That kind of proud expression made many people express their toothache!Your Majesty, are you really a man to act like a showman?

The complaints and various os in the hearts of the courtiers almost occupied the entire palace banquet.

Sima Yan, who has become the emperor, has no intention of embarrassing his son at all. It's too late to have fun all day long. How can he have the time to toss about those things!

Now he finally understands the true meaning of human life. Anyway, as an emperor, he has done everything he should do. The Sima clan became the emperor in his own hands, and the Great Jin Kingdom completed the unification in his own hands. Albert.

And more importantly, I have cultivated an excellent heir for the Great Jin Kingdom (the face is really big).

With these achievements, who doesn't praise a few times?Moreover, I can let go of the supreme and noble power early, and it is not an exaggeration to praise the wise and virtuous, comparable to Yao and Shun, right?

It's true, without the stupor of the late kings, what Sima Yan has done so far is worthy of such praise.

Although there is some recklessness in women's sex, these are small details. When people comment on Sima Yan, most of them are positive. After all, China has once again achieved unity under his hands.

In the history of China, the three monarchs who achieved great unification, Qin Shihuang, Jin Wudi, and Sui Wendi, can stand shoulder to shoulder with these two, and Jin Wudi is naturally a fatuous person.

The current Sima Yan was limped by his son, and he was not without regrets when he took the Zen position for a while, but soon, the colorful life left him no time to regret.

What I should do and what I can do has been done, and if I continue to stay in this position, I will have no motivation, so my son is right, I should enjoy myself very much now.

The Supreme Emperor had nothing to do, so he specially gathered a group of literati and wise men to start sorting out the culture, music, and gorgeous poems of the Great Jin Kingdom. It was also a great achievement to organize these things into booklets and pass them on to future generations.

To write a book and make a statement is the highest pursuit of a literati. Confucian scholars from all over the world flocked to Luoyang like crazy. Although there has never been a shortage of literati with character, more people have no character.

There are not many opportunities to leave a name in history, and being able to participate in such a grand event is itself an affirmation of oneself.

After many people received the post from the emperor, the way they showed off was really annoying.

But the envy in everyone's eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Vanity was greatly satisfied. It is said that this post is divided into three categories, including almost all the famous and surnamed people in the Great Jin Kingdom.

I just don't know what criteria the emperor used to distribute the posts.

Yang Guang came up with a good idea for Sima Yan to have fun, and after diverting the attention of the Jin scholars, he started his own drastic political innovation.

The so-called performance appraisal began in the court. As soon as this new thing came out, people with insight could understand the emperor's attitude.

The emperor and the emperor are completely different people. It seems that this person has extremely high requirements for the cultivation of officials.

Although the Dajin still has the examination system and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system market, Yang Guang feels that he needs to plan ahead and lay the foundation for the future imperial examination system. After the formation of the provincial family system, there will be another twists and turns in future generations.

So he started a small-scale trial of imperial examinations, and also formulated various imperial examination systems in the first year of Yongxi.

With such perfect things brought out, His Majesty also said that he was just on a whim, who are you kidding?

Although Chen and the others looked a little more honest, they weren't fools, were they?

The courtiers shouted in their hearts.

Yang Guang couldn't hear these words. No matter what, since we started, let's continue. He also knows that many people dare not object because they are afraid of their own strength.

In the second year of Yongxi, Yang Guang first met Pan Yue (Pan An, whose name was Pan Yue, whose name was Anren, and who was admired by Yang Jun) in the court for the first time.

Although this person has little character, likes to speculate, and loves to make money, but his appearance and talent are really nothing to say.

After losing his composure a little, Yang Guang quickly returned to his original state.How should I put it, a little disappointed.

The world is unified, and raising too many soldiers has become something that Yang Guang fears. There are too many soldiers and horses, how can there be so much money and food to support them?

Furthermore, except for the Yi people in the north, the whole country is now unified, and the farming system has also been broken.

The emperor issued an order to occupy the land, allowing ordinary people to own their own land, and soldiers began to disarm and return to the fields on a large scale. (Men and women are 16 to 60 years old as Zheng Ding; 13 to 15 years old and 61 to 65 years old as Second Ding; under 12 years old as Junior, and over 66 years old as Old.) According to the provisions of the land occupation system, each Ding male can It occupies 70 mu of land, and Ding Nu can occupy 30 mu of land.Of course, they also have the obligation to pay taxes, each Ding male pays 50 mu of tax, and Ding female pays 20 mu of tax.

The elderly palace people in the palace released thousands of people. These people combined with the soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the fields, and they successfully solved the family problems of many people.

Although it is said to be voluntary in name, most of them were forcibly given to these soldiers.

After solving the problem of soldiers from prefectures and counties getting married and returning to heaven, he once again set up "changping warehouses" across the country. In good years, cloth was sold at an appropriate price to purchase grain; in bad years, grain was sold at an appropriate price to stabilize grain prices.

As for hoarding and controlling food prices, it depends on your background.

If he can pass the test without concealing the truth, he is considered a talent.

Yang Guang was very interested in waiting for others to provoke him, but who knows, he was so calm, he was really disappointed!

Sima Yan enfeoffed many princes and kings, and what he wanted was to expand the scope of Sima's rule and defend Sima's regime.

It's a pity that in Yang Guang's view, this is his biggest crisis. Now that Sima Yan is alive, once he is gone, how many people can completely believe in him?

Who would be willing to hand over the power in their hands?Anyway, Yang Guang doesn't believe it, so what can he do?what to do

There was the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the former Han Dynasty, and the father of his family didn't learn his lesson, or he was too self-confident, and even named eight princes and kings.

They are all descendants of the Sima family, do they want to fight each other?

Chao Cuo's "Strategy for Cutting Fans" said it well: "If you cut it now, it will be reversed, and if you don't cut it, it will be reversed. If you cut it, the reaction will be urgent, and the disaster will be small; if you don't cut it, it will be delayed, and the disaster will be great."

It's a pity that this man lost his life in vain!

If you don't succeed, you will become a typical representative of benevolence.

He is also in such a predicament at present. After all, these people did not want to rebel. They respect him as the emperor. He has no reputation.

After Sima Yan founded the country, he entrusted 27 kings with the same surname. Fortunately, these people have no private soldiers at present, so they will not be able to rebel. However, Yang Guang feels that this is not the reason why he can relax. Even heavier.

Others don't know the emperor's mind, anyway, the bold emperor has won the praise of the government and the public.

Therefore, Sima Yu, as the prince, couldn't understand the worried look in his eyes.

The matter is very important, and it is not easy for Yang Guang to mention his worries to him.Sima Yu was still depressed for a while, and ran to the emperor's ancestor for comfort.

The father and son finally met face to face again. Sima Yan didn't think his son's worry was a big deal.

"Has father forgotten the 'Seven Kingdoms Rebellion' of the former Han Dynasty?"

As the owner, he has his own self-confidence and pride. Yang Guang was not annoyed by Sima Yan's attitude and asked directly.

"..."

This is true, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the former Han Dynasty was caused by the Liu family themselves.But that was also because Emperor Han Jing wanted to cut down the vassal. Does it mean that his son also has this plan?

"Yes, my son doesn't think that if this continues, Sima's rule will last forever, but it will be a disaster for future generations!"

Is it really okay for you to be so rude?

Sima Yan blushed, he did this by himself, and he had good intentions. He wanted to broaden the foundation of Sima's rule, give power to the children of the royal family, and win their support. The weak situation of Cao Wei in the province was once again on Sima's body Appear.

And most of them are their own sons, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh.Who has been wronged, can he feel better as a father?

Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen. Although he was not flustered, Sima Yan still seemed a little anxious and asked Yang Guang for advice.

"What now?"

"There are two plans!" Yang Guang said directly without being wordy.

"Oh, let's listen to the details!" Sure enough, having a good son is an advantage, Sima Yan thought with some complacency.

"One, just like the previous dynasty, forcibly cut down the vassal. Second, let them bring their own population and troops to the south, north, and west to expand and establish a country on their own."

The two methods have advantages and disadvantages, Sima Yan is not stupid, he naturally understands it, but when he understands it, he has a method, but he is even more entangled.

"Is there no other way? Isn't it good for everyone to live in peace?"

As soon as this kind of nonsense was said, even the little prince Sima Yu felt a little contemptuous, let alone Yang Guang.

Sima Yan also made a slip of the tongue for a while, Yang Guang and Sima Yan could only look around with embarrassing faces, pretending they didn't see it.

Sima Yan coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then wanted to ask Ce Yang Guang, then looked at his son again, he is the emperor now, he should worry about such things, what is it to bother himself?

Being a bachelor, he figured it out, and Sima Yan didn't care about his face.

"You can figure it out. I'm old and I want to take care of my life. It's really not suitable to work hard. Come on, come on, little boy, help the emperor's grandfather. Let's go for a walk in the garden. Don't disturb your emperor's thinking about state affairs." .”

The sluggish little palace man really wanted to become the Roaring Emperor: Your Majesty the Emperor, what about your integrity!

With such a rascal appearance, what else can Yang Guang do?

Taking advantage of the name of the emperor's birthday, Yang Guang posted a post asking the princes and kings to come to Beijing to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Although everyone knows that the emperor is benevolent and filial, he has always opposed extravagance and waste. Why is there such a big fanfare this time?

The emperor is in good health, what is the reason for the emperor?

The courtiers, who knew Yang Guang's temperament well, began to analyze the meaning of his actions, but they quickly forgot them because they heard that the emperor insisted on forcing the emperor to post.

Uh, this is a royal matter, it's better for the courtiers to keep their hands off it.

Only He Qiao and a few people, the queen was a little worried, your Majesty would like to take it all together, right?

Although I think it is unlikely, but according to His Majesty's temperament, maybe it is really possible!

But at present, it seems that there is no special movement in the army everywhere, even in the Gyeonggi camp, and the courtiers gradually feel at ease again.

It's hard to follow a willful and domineering master!He Qiao thought happily.

I can only hope that there will be no bloodshed this time...

The princes and kings also had some doubts in their hearts, and they always felt that there was a lingering dark cloud covering their heads, which was not a good thing after all!

But since the emperor has this interest, and the emperor has this filial piety, I really have to go.

Moreover, the emperor seemed to be really generous this time, and even made a "feast for thousands of old people" to enjoy the people, which was simply a waste of money.

These are the sour words of those who have not received the invitation, and no one will support them.

We are talking about the banquet of thousands of old people, but it is just hundreds of elderly people in the Gyeonggi area.

Across the country, Yang Guang does not support things that are too laborious and costly.

But these expenses are naturally sponsored by the rich and generous, and the royal family does not need to spend money, so Yang Guang made a banquet for thousands of old people.

Shi Kai, who had a relationship with the emperor, was actively preparing for the emperor's birthday banquet. If he had money, he would contribute money, if he was powerful, he would contribute to others, and he did not consider himself an outsider at all.

Now, the princes and kings have to come if they don't come. You can't send your subordinates for this kind of event, can you?

It is a matter of filial piety, but it cannot be sloppy.

In order to show, everyone collected rare treasures, shipped them to Luoyang, and presented them to the emperor to show their filial piety.

As for the others, it is of course congratulations.

After the tumultuous feast of thousands of seniors, the emperor finally gathered all his children, grandchildren, uncles and nephews together. Except for the emperor's father and son, all other children and grandchildren were here.

Sima Yan is actually quite proud in his heart, more than 20 sons are also a kind of ability!

But when he thought of cooperating with the emperor to cheat people by acting, his heart became a little heavy again.

After all, they are all my children, grandchildren, uncles and nephews. Although it is impossible to treat people equally, they can't really cheat people, can they?

But for the long-term stability of the Sima family, what else can be done?Harden your heart and go!

Sure enough, when Yang Guang and his son arrived, the atmosphere was stiff, and Sima Yan was so angry that the faces of the princes and kings below showed strange expressions.

Regarding the arrival of the emperor and his son, the wise man had a complicated look on his face. Obviously, this was the emperor's intention, and the emperor was just a shield to be pushed out.

The emperor is treating us as fools!

There are many smart people, and Yang Guang didn't intend to fool them, nor did he intend to let the emperor take the blame!

"Cutting down the feudal clan, this is my choice, but my father is benevolent, so I will give you one more choice. Since you are not satisfied, you can try to see if you can get out of Chengguang Palace today."

The blatant threat is Yang Guang's confidence, and the emperor is much more comfortable with his son's protection.

In fact, his attitude just now was not good, he was used to a life of promises, how could he pay attention to other people's fooling around?

I didn't expect the emperor to be a protector, so blatantly defending himself, Sima Yan couldn't remember who ever was!

Looking at the emperor's eyes became softer...

"Your Majesty, don't deceive others too much. We are all Sima's children. We have not made any mistakes or rebelled. Why do you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Guang found that the crown on his head was off. Yang Guang walked over indifferently and took back his gleaming little dagger!

You are very sad, does his father know?

Such a ferocious emperor is simply a soulless person who plays cards irrationally!

Many people cursed in their hearts, seeing Sima Lun limp on the ground, they were at a loss.

Zhao Wang's seniority is considered the highest, this is the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle, the emperor is so shameless.

"If you weren't afraid of your father being sad, I believe that you have already gone to heaven to meet your ancestors..."

Zhao Wang Sima Lun is not a good thing either, he has successively served as General Pingbei, General Anbei, etc.When he served as General Zhengxi and guarded Guanzhong, he was recalled to the capital because the Qiang and Di people rebelled because of unclear rewards and punishments.During the Eight Kings Rebellion, this man forced Sima Zhong to give way to himself.

After Sima Lun ascended the throne, he appointed Sun Xiu and other villains to be in power and appointed officials arbitrarily to win people's hearts.Soon, Sima Jiong, King of Qi, Sima Yong, King of Hejian, and Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, launched troops to attack Sima Lun.Sima Lun suffered repeated defeats and battles. In April of the same year, Sima Lun announced his abdication to welcome Emperor Hui of Jin to his restoration.

As for his ending, it was not good at all. Together with his three sons, he was killed by someone sent by the court, and the place where his bones were buried was Jinyong City, the noble prison.

"You, you, yellow-mouthed kid, you're too deceptive!"

Sima Lun turned over in a fit of anger, what a useless idiot.

The few people who urged him to come out cursed inwardly. This is their most senior uncle, or even uncle, who can be used in this way. Yang Guang basically has no hope for these people.

But obviously, the emperor Sima Yan still couldn't let go, as he was getting older, people tended to soften his heart, Yang Guang secretly sighed, forget it, just treat it as a face for the emperor.

"Now, it's your turn to answer. You can choose whatever you want. Stay in Luoyang to become a rich man or go to fight for your own country. It's up to you. If you have the answer, remember to come to me. Don't try to play tricks. If you don't believe me, you You can try my method!"

After the domineering emperor finished speaking, he and his son supported the emperor from the Chengguang Hall on the left and right. Depending on their choice, a difference in thought would basically lead to a completely different life.

Yang Guang is looking forward to some of these people being promising, but don't just hang around in the nest!

Watching the backs of the emperor, the emperor, and the prince as they left, and even faintly heard the voice of the emperor teaching the prince,

"Look, this is the correct use of force and power. You can't give these shameless people a chance to push their noses..."

emperor!What hatred and what resentment?

This is what Sima Lun heard after waking up with his eyes tearing open.

"Oh, don't go too far, it's almost enough."

The emperor felt very tired, patted his son on the shoulder, and said.He is really old and can't be cruel.Fortunately, he still has a good son, otherwise the future would be really unimaginable.

Sima Yan, who sat on the shoulder car and drove back to the palace, thought with a sense of loss and relief.

As for the emperor, the prince and his son, they walked back to the Tai Chi Hall after watching the emperor disappear.

"Father, you are really not afraid of them..."

Sima Yu still couldn't help asking.

"What's the use of being afraid? This situation has long been expected, but it just depends on who has more means and hard fists."

Yang Guang said calmly.

"Son, be educated!" Sima Yu had a correct attitude, so Yang Guang naturally wouldn't get angry at will.

The father and son returned to the Tai Chi Hall peacefully, one studied and the other read the memorial, the atmosphere was harmonious as before.

Little did they know, the frying pan was already outside.Uh, Yang Guang actually knew about it, but he was confident that these people couldn't afford to make big waves, so he didn't even look directly at them.

The courtiers were familiar with this attitude, so most of them wisely kept silent. There was never a shortage of cannon fodder in this kind of matter, so don't fill it in for nothing.

Grand Tutor Yang Jun originally wanted to see the emperor, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he returned home and fell ill.

The system of three provinces and six ministries originally appeared in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Although it was in its infancy, it can be seen that the rulers wanted to weaken the power of their officials.

Yang Guang took advantage of the situation and further refined his power. Although the current Yang Jun has the name of Tai Tuo in vain, in fact, it has nothing to do with it.

It can be seen that the emperor is on guard against his relatives, so he should be more sensible and not move forward.

But it's normal to feel a little bit uncomfortable.Historically, this person was a fan of power, the kind who clings to it and doesn't let go.

Fortunately, now that there is a tyrannical emperor, he can only restrain his temper, but he regrets that he didn't agree to the queen's proposal right away, and let his daughter enter the palace as the queen to serve the emperor.

After the crown prince returned to the palace, the queen never mentioned the matter of letting Yang's daughter into the palace again, and Yang Jun couldn't bear to bring it up again.

What's the use of regretting it now?

The princes and kings are running around in Luoyang, and the emperor does not restrict their freedom. Is it true or is there another conspiracy?

The princes and kings who ran around finally understood that the emperor really didn't take them seriously.

This kid is not very old, but what method did he use to make the courtiers so awed?

Although they have heard of Yang Guang's reputation for brutality, they have never experienced it personally, and they can't feel the bitterness of being slapped in the face at all.

So the courtiers watched these people jumping around, but the emperor didn't react at all. They quickly understood what the emperor was thinking, and they were not at all moved by their rhetoric.

As for those who are tempted, the princes and kings of the Sima family look down on them, whether they are high or low, aren't they the ones who are talking about it?

Those with brains can't incite it, and they can't look down on those who are incited!

As for their alliance with each other, I don't know why, it's strange that these people don't even mention it.

The emperor has said harsh words, if you really dare, then just wait.

Sima Yan himself is not a good person. Although he is not as ruthless as his son, he is not a charitable person either. Those who follow him know that the cruelty of today has its roots.

I've been busy all day, I'm tired and hungry, I haven't done any shit, how can I feel better?

Of course, there are also honest people who don’t have much ambition. Yang Guang likes this kind of people. The titles are hereditary and not degraded by future generations.

Soon some people were tempted, and they were divided and drawn together. In a few days, most of them were settled.

King Zhao Sima Lun cried out in front of his nephew, but found that it was useless at all. He wanted to rebel with soldiers, but found that he couldn't leave the capital, without soldiers and horses, what a fart to rebel!
