Chapter 686
The tenth year of Qin Ganlu (265 A.D.), the first year of Wei Xianxi.

Sima Yan defeated Sun Hao in Yiyang, regained Shouchun, severely damaged the Shiji Department in Xiangyang, and his momentum was in full swing. On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, under the abdication of Wei Emperor Cao Huan, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named the country Jin, and changed Yuan Taishi.

Sima Yi was posthumously named Emperor Xuan with the temple name Gaozu, Sima Shi was named Emperor Jing with the temple name Shizong, and Sima Zhao was named Emperor Wen with the temple name Taizu.

The concubine Yang Yan was made the queen, and the second son Sima Zhong was the prince.

Shi Bao moved to the post of Da Sima, became the Duke of Leling County, and became a servant.

Jia Chong was the general of the right chariot, the regular servant of the Sanqi, the Duke of Lu, and the servant of the book.

Chen Qian continued to supervise the town of Hebei as the general of Zuo Cheqi, the Duke of Gaoping County, and the servant.

Zhang Hua made the order of Zhongshu and added Sanqi as a regular attendant.

Pei Xiusheng is the Minister of the Order, the Duke of Julu.

He Zeng was promoted to prime minister and granted the title of Duke Langling.

Xun Yi added Sikong and made Linhuai Duke.

The rest of Wang Shen, Wang Yi, Wang Hun, Wang Jun, Lu Qin, Liu Hong, Tang Bin and others were all rewarded, and even Shi Jian, who had been deposed, was used again.

Cao Wei, who had lived in the country for 46 years, was officially destroyed.

Because of Cao Huan's full cooperation, Sima Yan also sincerely named Cao Huan the king of Chenliu, with ten thousand households, built a palace in Yecheng, set up the emperor's flag, prepared five o'clock auxiliary vehicles, traveled to Wei Guo Zhengshuo, and worshiped the rituals and music of heaven and earth in the suburbs The system is just like the old things of the Wei State, not proclaiming ministers when submitting letters, not worshiping after receiving edicts, which can be said to have given the Cao family enough face.

But this face was soaked with Cao Mao's blood.

In history, the feudal kingdom of King Chenliu was passed down to Qi in the Southern Dynasties, which lasted for four years in 210.

For a while, the gentry praised Sima Yan's benevolence.

All kinds of flattering articles are rampant.

Liaodong Yuwen, Duan, and Murong all came forward to express their congratulations.

At Zhong Hui's suggestion, Jiangdong Sun Hao also sent envoys to congratulate him.

Sima Yan paid homage to heaven and earth, rewarded meritorious soldiers, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted.

However, under the universal celebration in the Central Plains, there are also discordant voices.

At this moment, hundreds of idle people gathered in the dwellings of Luoyang City, listening intently to the storyteller's comment on Sima Zhao's conquest of the Shouchun Bell Meeting.

With a "pop", the gavel slapped on the wooden case.

"But it was said that the city of Shouchun was about to be destroyed, and the prince brought a bowl of soup and medicine inside: Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

"Although Your Majesty has been in poor health, after recuperation, he has already recovered. Seeing that the prince's expression is not right, he said angrily, "Where is Wang Taiji?"

"The son deduced that this was prepared by Wang's imperial physician himself, and the son fed his father to drink it."

"Who is the king? The love is wrong. He ordered the son to retreat, but the son did not retreat. The king ordered the guards to take it down, but the guards did not move. The son delivered the medicine to the bed. The king exclaimed, why is this? The world is originally a big talisman, and the rebellious son cannot take it by force!"

The people listened intently.

In the streets and alleys, I am most fascinated by these butler secrets.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, the more horrifying it is, the more attention-grabbing it will be.

There are many well-dressed people in the crowd. Storytelling has become more popular in recent years. It doesn’t need a stage or silk and bamboo. All it needs is a gavel, and it can be spoken standing, sitting, or walking.

So it attracted many people, and Luoyang repeatedly banned it.

Among the crowd, a gentleman in Chinese clothes was particularly fascinated.

Only when Sima Yan was busy with the enthronement ceremony could he come out for a walk.

Just happened to come across this storyteller.

Although the storyteller didn't mention his name, how could he fail to recognize what he was referring to?
The great king is clearly Sima Zhao, the former king of Jin, and the son is the current emperor Sima Yan, and the big symbol refers to him, Sima You, with the word Dayou and the small character Taofu.

Sima Yan may be hypocritical, but Sima You is true.

He is good at giving, helping the poor and poor, and is famous for his filial piety.

The people in the fief suffered from floods and epidemics, Sima You reduced or exempted the land tax to appease the people...

Later, he served as a regular servant of Sanqi and a lieutenant of the infantry.

Since the time of Sima Yi, Sima You has been valued by the Sima family, and even more by the gentry.

Many people gathered around.

After Sima Zhao became the king of Jin, he repeatedly expressed his intention to establish Sima You in front of important ministers, which is no longer a secret in Luoyang.

At the beginning of Feng Sa's defeat, Sima Zhao returned to Luoyang and was seriously ill. According to historical records: In the early days, Zhao was very ill, and the court favored Yuyou. ("Book of Jin·Jia Chong Biography")
Sima Zhao defeated Zhonghui and took Sima Yan away, but left Sima You to guard Luoyang. This is already a very clear signal.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, and Sima Zhao died inexplicably.

With the support of Shi Bao, Jia Chong and others, Sima Yan kept his funeral in secret, left Shouchun, who had already broken the city, and rushed back to Luoyang to take power...

"My lord, this man is bewitching people with his gossip. He must be a traitor of Qin, and he will be tried in prison!" Liu Tun, the entourage beside him, said in a low voice.

Sima You glanced at the people around him, and shook his head, "Fanging the people's mouth is better than Fangchuan. Right and wrong are in the hearts of the people. If you can restrain them for a while, can you restrain the hearts of the world?"

There are too many scapegoats for the Sima family. From the Luoshui oath to the killing of the king in the street, the world has long been full of uproar.

Sima You sighed, "Let's go."

The other people were still immersed in storytelling, and didn't realize that they had walked through the gate of hell just now.

Apart from the courtyard gate, Liu Tun said: "The storytelling is correct. The cause of the late emperor's death is suspicious. Why didn't Taofu track down the guards around the late emperor?"

Liu Tun is the son of Liu Yi, the left servant of Shangshu, and he has been friendly with Sima You since childhood.

"Those people... have already been buried in the ground..." Sima You didn't need to do it himself, someone had already secretly checked for him.

But the other party was tight-fisted, none of the bodyguards who experienced this matter survived, and even the imperial doctor Wang in the storytelling story also killed himself.

Only old foxes such as Jia Chong, Shi Bao, and Xun Xu know the inside story.

But will they speak?
When Sima Yan ascended the throne, they were the biggest beneficiaries.

Especially Jia Chong, who oscillated repeatedly between Sima You and Sima Yan.

In the end, he stood on Sima Yan's side.

Daughter Jia Nanfeng is already engaged to Prince Sima Zhong.

"Hmph, trying to cover up the obvious!" Liu Tun said helplessly.

If Sima Zhao can live two more years, the world might fall into whose hands.

"Now that the country is in crisis, the people of Qin practice the method of equalizing the land, plowing and fighting to establish the country, and lie dormant in the west. After several years of sweeping the desert and the western regions, the land occupation system has become exhausted. After the floods, thieves in Nanyang, Hedong, and Qingxu swarmed. Foreign aggression, the Central Plains must not be in chaos anymore, and there must be no more scandals in my family. Changsheng will not see the old affairs of the Cao family? Cooking beans burns Osmunda, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry each other?" Sima You was gentle. road.

If the Cao family hadn't been fighting too much between brothers, how could it have been Sima's turn?
At that time, the sons of Emperor Wu of Wei were all dragons and phoenixes.

Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, Cao Chong...

One by one died young.

Liu Tun was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of emotion, "It is a pity that the world cannot be governed by a king."

"This remark must not be repeated. Elder brother is the emperor, and I shall be the Duke of Zhou!" Sima You was as gentle as jade.

Walking up Tongtuo Street, I met Ji Xi rushing over, "My lord is overjoyed, Your Majesty has made you the king of Qi, and the great general of hussars!"

Sima Yan has always disliked Sima You, but the power behind Sima You is no small matter. Sima Master's old trilogy is under his command, so this king of Qi has to be named.
