Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 70
Wild grass and flowers beside the Suzaku Bridge, the sunset at the entrance of Wuyi Alley is slanting.

In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

Bird Clothes Lane, even after Wang Dun's rebellion, is still a place where Jiankang families gather.

Seen from a distance, Bird Clothes Lane looks like a bustling city, full of crowns, antique black tile roofs, eaves and lintels of doors and windows, giving it the flavor of an ancient alley.

Coupled with the rippling blue waves of the Qinhuai River and the sparkling water, it adds a bit of artistic conception.

It used to be the garrison of the imperial guards during the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Because the soldiers wore black clothes, it was named Wuyiying, and it was later changed to Wuyi Lane.

Of course, there is another saying that the Wang and Xie families lived here during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the children of the two families liked to wear black clothes to show their dignity, so it was named Wuyi Lane.

The Wang family of Langya can now be called the first family in the world, and the king and the horse share the world.

The Xie family of Chen Jun has not become famous at the moment, even if Xie An is still a child, Xie Shang still wants to curry favor with Zhao Yue now!

The busiest place in Bird Clothes Lane is naturally the Langya Wang's mansion.

Today the mansion held a banquet, but the banquet was of a very high standard, not for ordinary people to participate in, even the maids who served, I didn't see a single one, and the boys who came to serve as wine cuppers were all descendants of Langya Wang's family.

For example, Wang Dao's eldest son, Wang Yue, his second son, Wang Tian, ​​the son of General Fujun Wang Shu, and Wang Dao's nephew, Wang Yunzhi, acted as the boys serving wine.

Taking his own son as the wine boy, this guest is naturally not an ordinary person.

All the people seated in the flowing water, all of them are gray-haired, blue-purple, and imposing:

Xiyang King Sima Yi, Shang Shu Ling Bian, Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xun Song, leading general Lu Ye, and servant Zhong Lu Wan.

These five people can all be called masters of Confucianism, and their political influence is also huge.

Xiyang King Sima Yi is the grandson of Jin Xuan Emperor Sima Yi, and the third son of Runan Wencheng King Sima Liang.

He followed Sima, the king of the East China Sea, across the south of the Yangtze River, and supported Sima Rui, the king of Langya, to proclaim himself emperor. He was respected by Sima Rui's father and son.

Emperor Sima Shao of the Jin and Ming Dynasties was seriously ill and was elected Minister Gu Ming.

Jincheng Emperor Sima Yan came to the throne and was doubly favored, just like the story of Sima Fu.

This person is the leader of the clan, with a detached position in the court.

Shang Shu Ling Bian Cui is the son of Zhong Shu Ling Bian Cui, and he followed Yuan Emperor Sima Rui before he rose to power. He can be said to be a real Yuan Cong old man. Minister, now in control of Shangshutai, he can speak for state affairs and court affairs.

Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xun Song is the great-great-grandson of Cao Wei Taiwei Xun Yu, and the son of Yulin Youjian Xun Kai. He was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan.

The two brothers, Lu Ye, the leading general, and Lu Wan, the servant, are the nephews of Lu Xun, the prime minister of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the grandson of Lu Hao, Cao Shangshu, and the son of Lu Ying, the prime minister of Gaoping.

One of the four major families in the Eastern Wu period, Wujun Lu, was born in the top class of the South Gate, and his political prestige was not low.

Besides, whether it is a leading general or a servant, they are all important and powerful official positions.

These five people, including Situ Wang Dao, are all high-ranking, powerful, and high-ranking people. They gathered in Wuyi Lane today, and there were no beautiful girls and actresses in the banquet, and the servants were all Langya Wang's children. , is enough to show that this gathering, the picture is very big!
The things discussed cannot be rumored!

"My lords, please."

Director Wang, as the host, picked up the wine bottle, got up and bowed to everyone.

"Please."

"please"

The five people also got up, returned the salute to Director Situ, and then covered their sleeves and drank the fine wine in the wine bottles in their hands.

"Ah~ good wine!"

Lu Wan wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, chuckled and sat back on his knees.

Director Wang didn't have much smile on his face.

"My lords, inviting you to gather this time is not a private matter, but a state matter, a matter for the community of the world."

Director Wang clapped his hands, and Wang Yunzhi, Wang Yue and others handed the bamboo slips and books placed in the hall to the dining table of the five people.

"Look, everyone, this is the news from the important town of Jingkou."

Everyone picked up the bamboo slips and books, and read them slowly, Bian Hu frowned.

"King Nandun escaped from Jingkou to Guangling to the north, and went to the seat of Lord Shaoling?"

Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xun Song, Leading General Lu Ye, and Shi Zhong Lu Wan also frowned slightly. It was obvious that King Nan Dun and Su Jun got mixed up. In their minds, there was a possibility that something might happen to this matter.

Sima Yi, the king of Xiyang, was not as worried as these four people. Instead, he stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's not too important that King Nandun went to Guangling, just to set back Zhong Shuling's prestige. Why not do it?"

The five people present were able to get together now, largely because of Yu Liang's pressure on them.

Originally, the Emperor Ming's edict was for everyone to assist the government together. As a result, Yu Liang used the status of the emperor's relatives and Yu Wenjun's energy in the palace to exclude everyone from the center of power. The decision-making of Taiwan Province does not need to ask them, Yu Liang alone decides.

This kind of behavior of eating alone, everyone is naturally upset.

But due to the family of the emperor of the Yu family and the presence of the Queen Mother Yu Wenjun in the palace, there was no attack for a while.

but
It didn't happen, it's not that it didn't happen, but it was just waiting for the opportunity.

Now Director Wang summoned everyone, obviously, because the time has come!
"Don't worry, gentlemen, there is news from Guangling."

Langya Wang's disciples put another book in front of everyone's table.

After the five people finished watching, they frowned.

"The Lord Shaoling really has objections and dares to gather troops and food. This matter should be reported to the Zhongshu Order and let him make a decision earlier!"

Although Shang Shuling Bian Hu is also anti-Yu Liang alliance, but in his heart, it is obvious that state affairs are more important than his own private affairs.

Shang Shu Zuo Pu She Xun Song, Leading General Lu Ye, and Shi Zhong Lu Wan looked at each other and nodded.

"That's right, this matter is of great importance. If Duke Su Jun of Shaoling County really has objections, and if the court fails to respond in time, health and well-being will be endangered, and the country will be endangered. This matter is no small matter."

Sima Yi, King of Xiyang, waved his hand and said, "I know Mr. Shaoling, and he is not a rebellious person. I am afraid this matter is not a disaster for us, but an opportunity. Otherwise, Situ would not As for calling me over."

Sima Yi stroked his beard, and continued: "What Yu Liang did in the court caused anger and resentment, so many families were destroyed, and wives were scattered, all because of this son! King Nandun went to Guangling this time, why can't he be the one?" Convince Duke Shaoling to raise troops on the side of the Qing emperor, drag Yu Liang and his generation down, and let the princes come up to fulfill the last emperor's edict?"

"The king of Xiyang's words are wrong. If Jiankang is breached, tens of thousands of refugees will flood in, and how many families will be ruined? Besides, it's easy to ask God to send God away, so the Duke of Shaoling holds the military power, wouldn't he be able to do it?" Dong Zhuo's story, when I wait in the court, I'm afraid it will be worse than it is now!"

Bian Hu was much more sober than Sima Yang.

"good."

Xun Song nodded slightly.

"Although there is a gap between us and Yu Liang, personal enmity cannot be gambled with the artifacts of the country, let alone the wealth and lives of the [-] households in Jiankang!"

"Hehe, if you are so righteous, why are you still here? Why don't you go and serve Na Yu Liang?"

Sima Yi's face was flushed, and the muscles on the side of his face twitched, obviously angry.

All of them talked in a hype, and advertised themselves as loyal ministers of the country, so I, Sima Yi, became a rebellious minister and a traitor?
"enough!"

Director Wang, who was sitting on the main seat, scolded, and the noise of the flowing water stopped immediately, and everyone turned their attention to Director Wang.
