The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1108 Jiang Wei's Support

In fact, the relationship between Jiang Wei and Liu Xun was not harmonious. Back then, Huang Hao fully supported Liu Xun, and Huang Hao was Jiang Wei's deadly enemy. Naturally, it was impossible for Jiang Wei to have any relationship with Liu Xun, not to mention that Jiang Wei was devoted to the Northern Expedition. He didn't bother to pay attention to the matter of the harem, and Jiang Wei didn't take much part in the open and secret fights among the princes.

However, with the recovery of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei seemed to be more concerned about the succession struggle. He did not choose to support the Northern King Liu Chen, but instead showed his favor to the Xinxing King Liu Xun.

This can't help but lift up Liu Xun's spirit. In order to fight for the throne and win over ministers, Liu Xun deliberately made friends with some dignitaries in the court in the past two years, but these people were at most limited to officials like Jiuqing. It is very difficult to win over the real heavyweights in the court.

Among the three recorded ministers in Shangshutai, Liu Yin undoubtedly supports Liu Chen, while Huo Yi is a staunch supporter of the right of primogeniture. Whoever made Liu Chen born a few years earlier than himself, otherwise, now he Then you can get Huo Yi's support.

Huo Yi is relatively upright and loyal to the Shu Han Dynasty. What he insists on is the most orthodox law of succession to the throne. Abolishing the elders and establishing the young is completely contrary to patriarchal etiquette. In history, the abolition of the elders and establishing the young has happened repeatedly. , but few die well.Therefore, Huo Yi believes that the order of elders and younger children is different, and only the eldest son can inherit the throne, and the root cause of the turmoil is to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.

Huo Yi tried his best to keep the traditions of the Han Dynasty unchanged. He has a stubborn personality, and even eight horses can't pull back the things he's sure of.However, Huo Yi is the most important figure in the court, and he has a very close relationship with Liu Chan, and he is highly regarded by Liu Chan. This time the court moved to Nanzhong, Huo Yi did his best, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Afterwards, the court moved out In Nanzhong, Huo Yi no longer stayed in Nanzhong as the prefect of Jianning, but replaced Zhang Shao, who was getting older, as the minister and became one of the three giants of the Han court.

It is impossible for Liu Xun to win Huo Yi's support any more. It is even more difficult to get Huo Yi back than the sun coming out from the west.

After thinking about it, Liu Xun believed that the only one who might support him was the general Jiang Wei. Liu Chen had already seized some opportunities in this regard, but Liu Xun believed that if he got Jiang Wei's support, he would be able to support him. After the support, the situation can be completely reversed. It is also known who will have the last laugh.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun immediately got up and went to the General's Mansion to meet Jiang Wei.

This time Jiang Wei had some complaints about the move of the field army out of Luoyang, but since it was the imperial court's decision, Jiang Wei couldn't refuse it anymore, and quickly completed the move in accordance with the order.

When Liu Xun arrived at the General's Mansion, it happened that Jiang Wei had just returned from outside the city. Now that the main force of Jiang Wei's army had moved to the south of Luoyang City, Jiang Wei spent most of his time in the south of the city with the army, training troops.

Liu Xun flattered the gift, greeted Jiang Wei, and repeatedly praised Jiang Wei's contribution to protecting the country.

It was impossible for Jiang Wei to get carried away just because of Liu Xun's one or two compliments. He maintained a humble etiquette and warmly welcomed Liu Xun's arrival. , There are degrees of advance and retreat.

However, the purpose of Liu Xun's trip was roughly achieved. Although Jiang Wei did not explicitly express his complete reliance on Liu Xun, his words and deeds also showed Jiang Wei's approval of Liu Xun. Liu Xun's trip was to obtain Jiang Wei's support seems to be a worthwhile trip.

After Liu Xun left, Jiang Wei's face suddenly became serious, and he snorted heavily, and the clock would come out from behind the screen, clapping his hands and laughing: "The general originally wanted to belong to the Xinxing King, why did you still Want to sell this pass and play around?"

Jiang Wei said gloomyly: "Liu Xun is a dude, tyrannical and domineering, if you help him ascend the throne, will the Han Dynasty be fortunate or unfortunate?"

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "The general is worrying too much. Your Majesty, who is currently in power, is recognized as the mediocre lord in the world. However, such a mediocre lord can also fulfill the great wish of unifying the world when he is in power. , is nothing more than that. There are people like the general who serve as assistants, so why worry about the court not being established?"

Jiang Wei nodded, and said: "What Shi Ji said is true, it doesn't really matter who ascends the throne, if there is someone to protect him, the Han family must last forever and never fall."

Jiang Wei didn't care who came to the throne, the only thing he cared about was the person who had a relationship with Liu Yin. Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, was extremely intelligent and made outstanding achievements, but Jiang Wei didn't support him at all, because Liu Chen had already won the title of Liu Yin. Without Yin's support, Jiang Wei would definitely not support him again.

Whether you like it or not, the forces in the Shu Han Dynasty have split into two factions. One is the Southern faction headed by Jiang Wei, and the other is the Northern faction headed by Liu Yin. The confrontation between the two factions in Yizhou has already become history.

Factional disputes are always the sharpest confrontation in the imperial court, almost to the point of incompatibility. From the beginning of Liu Yin's rise, Jiang Wei deeply felt the pressure on his own status brought by him. shock.

Jiang Wei came to power in the Kingdom of Shu after Fei Yi. Since then, Jiang Wei has dealt with the mighty State of Wei almost by himself. He made eleven expeditions to the Central Plains. This strategy of replacing defense with offense still greatly delayed the time of Shu's demise.

If it weren't for Liu Yin's sudden birth, the declining Shu Kingdom would have come to an end, because with Jiang Wei's ability, the Shu Han court was indeed powerless.

But Liu Yin managed to turn the tide, helped the building to collapse, dispatched surprise soldiers, pacified Guanlong, and then swept the world, sweeping away the Hu and destroying the Jin Dynasty. More than half of it is to remember Liu Yin's head.

As Liu Yin rushed forward in the Central Plains, Jiang Wei's position gradually became more and more awkward. As the general who commanded the three armies of the Shu Han, Liu Yin's achievements and fame were overwhelmed by Liu Yin. Among them, Jiang Wei was the only one who was unhappy. Know yourself.

Jealousy is human nature, not a woman's patent. Many people are not jealous because their status is not up to that height. If you sit in Jiang Wei's seat and watch Liu Yin surpass himself step by step, this kind of feeling It is indescribable.

In order to maintain his status and keep the power he has been in power for more than ten years, Jiang Wei naturally cannot coexist peacefully with Liu Yin. After Liu Yin became the chief minister, this obsession in Jiang Wei's heart became even stronger. There must be a change, the struggle for power will always be a bloody road.
