"Shizi, please mourn by the way, the King of Jin has passed away, and please cheer up and preside over the overall situation." Jia Chong comforted.

Even without Jia Chong's consolation, Sima Yan has gradually calmed down from the panic of killing his father, in fact, he didn't have the intention of killing his father, but he was a little more angry at the moment, Sima Zhao's death was completely an accident, even if there was no such thing, Sima Zhao would definitely not survive today, in fact, his life and death have nothing to do with Sima Yan.

Thinking about it like this, the fear in Sima Yan's heart disappeared invisibly, since it had nothing to do with him, then he didn't need to bear any more ideological burdens, and the shadow in his heart faded a little.

But then Sima Yan's gaze became cold, Sima Zhao died, but the inheritance to the throne was undecided, although Sima Zhao had a will before his death, but it had been torn off by Sima Yan, and the only people who knew the death were Jia Chong and Pei Xiu, and the two of them were their own henchmen, and they would never leak the news, if they deliberately concealed it, it would mean that Sima Zhao did not have a will.

If Sima Zhao had not left a will, as the eldest son, Sima Yan would have the first right of inheritance, and with the support of important ministers in the court, it seemed natural for Sima Yan to ascend to the throne.

But now the biggest variable comes from Sima You, originally Sima Yan didn't have too much fear of Sima You, thinking that his younger brother with a gentle personality would not become a big climate, and would not cause any big obstacles to his succession to the throne, but after today's incident in He Fu, Sima Yan's three views were suddenly subverted.

It turns out that the younger brother who looks as docile as a kitten. Showing fangs and claws. It's also quite scary. Now Sima Yan is the most fearful. That is, the defense and military power of the entire capital is in the hands of Sima You, in the matter of He Fu, Sima You is relying on the heavy army in his hands, so he does not take anyone in his eyes, and robs the culprit who caused the bloody case of He Fu on the spot.

If Sima You learned of Sima Zhao's death, would he willingly give up the military power in his hands and support him, his elder brother, to succeed to the throne, Sima Yan would not have a brain. I can think with my heels, this is impossible, Sima You will definitely rely on the military power in his body to compete for superiority.

What's more, Sima You is still surrounded by people such as Ren Kai, Yu, Chun Xiahou and these people, which is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and these core figures of the party will inevitably cause many difficulties for Sima Yan's succession.

What to do?

Sima Yan paced back and forth in the dormitory with his hands behind his back, his thick eyebrows locked. His expression was solemn.

Jia Chong and Pei Xiu also looked at Sima Yan nervously, at this moment. It is the most important moment to test a person's ability, and they believe that with Sima Yan's wise decision, they will definitely be able to come up with a reliable plan to survive this crisis.

While the tea was being held, Sima Yan stopped, and in his eyes, the cold light was awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice: "Pei Shangshu, you immediately draft a suicide note, and say that my father will pass on the throne to me." Jia Zhonghu, you immediately send someone out of the city secretly, and inform Shibao, the governor of Yangzhou, Yanghu, the governor of Jingzhou, and Chen Qian, the governor of Yuzhou, and ask them to immediately lead their troops into King Qin. ”

Jia Chong said in surprise: "Chen Qian, the governor of Yuzhou, is just going back, but Shibao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Yanghu, the governor of Jingzhou, are so far apart that I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Beijing in a short time." ”

Sima Yan said calmly: "More than ten days ago, I had already given a secret order to Shi Bao and Yanghu, asking them to lead troops into Beijing, presumably they are already halfway at this moment, and they are not far from the Beijing Division. ”

With the aggravation of Sima Zhao's illness, the battle for the heir has reached a white-hot level, and after Sima Yan's previous attempt to use the courtiers and important ministers to force Sima Zhao to change his mind failed, Sima Yan secretly passed on the Yangzhou Governor Shi Bao, the Jingzhou Governor Yanghu, and the Yuzhou Governor Chen Qian to secretly lead troops into Beijing.

Sima Yan knew that although he had the support of the ministers in the court, after all, in Luoyang City, he did not have the power of the army, and this was undoubtedly fatal, and what happened in He Fu today also proved how wise Sima Yan's decision was. Now Sima Yan has received the support of the vast majority of courtiers, if the three major governors support troops into Beijing again, Sima You is absolutely powerless to compete, and Sima Yan is bound to win the throne of King Jin.

When Jia Chong heard this, he couldn't help but admire that he was a five-body thrower, no wonder everyone praised Sima Yan for having the appearance of a king, this courage, this strategy, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, for the position of ****, Sima Yan can be said to be exhausted and thoughtful, if he can't get the throne in the end, it can only be providence rather than man's scheme.

"I'll send someone to the lowly position, but even if Shibao Yanghu is fast, it will take a few days to arrive, and now that the King of Jin has passed away, how can I hide it from the Marquis of Wuyang?"

Sima Yan said categorically: "Secrets are not mourned!" ”

At this point, there is only this way to delay time, and when the army of the three-way governor arrives in Luoyang, everything can be settled, and during the time when the army arrives, Sima Yan must hide the news of Sima Zhao's death.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang died on the road to the east, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao Li Si conspired to keep the mourning secret, and forced the prince Fusu and the minister Meng Tian to death with a false edict, and finally usurped the throne. Now that Sima Yan is concocting the same method, he is naturally aiming for the throne.

Jia Chong said with some doubts: "Fortunately, the King of Jin has ordered that he must not meet Jin without summoning, but he can use this to block the princes and ministers who want to see in Jin, and the palace people in the palace will restrain him, and the problem is not too big, but the queen is on the queen's side, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do, once the queen wakes up, she will definitely see the king of Jin, how can we stop it?" "Everyone else is easy to say, just find a reason to refuse Jin Jian, but Queen Wang Yuanji wants to come in, and no one can stop her.

Sima Yan said coldly: "On the queen mother's side, I have my own arrangements, so you don't have to worry." Pass the order down, block the palace of the king of Jin, no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Jia Chong and Pei Xiu received the order, and immediately went down to arrange, strengthened the guards of the Jin Palace, closed the palace forbidden, no matter who was not allowed to enter and leave the palace without an order, and at the same time, secretly dispatched the personal guards of the Shizifu to enrich the guards of the Jin Palace. On the surface, the Jin Palace is as usual, there is no change, but in fact, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the security is tight, and the atmosphere in the entire palace is tense to the extreme.
