Chapter 520: Fighting for the Throne
In addition to having children with Guo Huai, Jia Chong and his ex-wife Li Wan also had two daughters, one Jia Bao and one Jia Yu. Guo Huai regarded the two daughters born in the front room as thorns in the flesh and often treated them harshly, and Jia Chong was helpless. Later, Jia Bao married Sima You, the Marquis of Wuyang, because of her longing for her biological mother and resentment towards her stepmother, her relationship with Jia Chong was not very good, and she rarely interacted.
Jia Chong naturally couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, although he also hoped that Sima You could inherit the throne, but he saw more clearly that Sima Yan was more likely to ascend to the throne, and some heavyweight ministers in the court clearly expressed their support for Sima Yan to succeed to the throne, and these people could easily shake Sima Zhao's will.
Therefore, at the most critical time, Jia Chong decided to take refuge in Sima Yan, and pinned the glory and wealth of the rest of his life on Sima Yan.
Sima Yan was naturally very excited, he knew that Jia Chong was a very important person around Sima Zhao, although he could not compare with the heavyweights such as Taifu Sima Fu, Taiwei Wang Xiang, and Sikong He Zeng, but Jia Chong still won Sima Zhao's trust, and with him as an Olympic aid, naturally his chances of winning could increase by a few points.
However, Sima Yan is not blind enough to think that with Jia Chong's support, he can win the battle, after all, only Sima Zhao himself has the right to decide, and the opinions of anyone else are also references, many wise and wise princes in history have failed to ascend the throne while many mediocre and incompetent people have sat on the throne, just because the will of the emperor has decided everything.
Sima Yan said with some concern: "My father summoned Uncle Fu, Wang Xiang, and He Zeng Jin to see him this time, and it seems that there is a suspicion of arranging the future, if the heir has been decided." I'm afraid we can't do anything about it. ”
Jia Chong smiled calmly: "Don't worry. The king of Jin summoned the three dukes into at this time. It proves that the King of Jin has not yet made a decision, and the will of Fu Gong is unknown, but Wang Taiwei and He Situ are determined to support the prince, please rest assured, the matter of the heir will never come to a conclusion today. ”
Sima Yan said gloomily: "Brother Yu passed on to Uncle Jingwang, and my father used to say that 'the world is my brother's world, and after a hundred years of loneliness, it will be passed on to my brother'." Now that everyone in the world knows this, is it possible to ask my father to be a dishonest person? ”
Jia Chong said disapprenorovingly: "At this time and that time, the King of Jin did say this before, but it was to appease King Jing's subordinates, although the Marquis of Wuyang is nominally the son of King Jing, but in fact he is still the son of King Jin. I believe that King Jin will also consider it carefully. ”
Sima Yan was overjoyed and said, "It's as Ming Gong said." It's just that in front of the father, there must be a lot of good words such as Ming Gong, after the matter is completed, Yan will be grateful, and Ming Gong is also the minister of the humerus. ”
Jia Chong said: "Please rest assured, the prince of the world, act as a great helper and try to ensure that the prince is on the throne." There is a daughter, named Nanfeng, who is equivalent to Ling Gongzi's heartfelt teeth, if the prince is interested, how about letting them marry Qin and Jin? ”
Accustomed to the sweetness of marrying the Sima family, Jia Chong naturally will not let go of this opportunity, Sima You is on the throne, Jia Chong is his father-in-law, Sima Yan is on the throne, Jia Chong and he are the sons and daughters, this is the real source of left and right.
What Sima Yan needs most at this time is help like Jia Chong, who can form a family with his children, and it couldn't be better, so Sima Yan immediately said: "Okay, a word is a decision, the heart is still young, and this family business is decided, and I will marry again in the future." ”
Jia Chong showed a subtle smile on his face, and he said: "The prince can rest assured, the king of Jin will summon all his ministers to discuss the matter of the heir in the near future. ”
Sima Yan was overjoyed and said: "This matter still depends on Ming Gong, Yan thanked him first." ”

After exchanging information about Luoyang with Qingsong, Liu Yin can basically determine that Sima You is in a disadvantageous position in this competition, although Sima You's popularity and fame are above Sima Yan, although Sima Zhao has previously expressed his intention to let Sima You succeed to the throne after a hundred years, but what cannot be ignored is the power of the courtiers, and now Sima Yan is surrounded by some heavyweights who are supporting, and even Sima Zhao cannot ignore their existence.
This is related to Sima Yan's deliberate management, under his continuous co-optation, many neutral ministers also fell to Sima Yan's camp, compared to Sima You, who is good at poetry and talent, Sima Yan will show more ability on his eloquent strategy, for example, his proposed statecraft has won the unanimous approval of the important ministers of the imperial court, Sima Yan is advocating the implementation of an all-out counteroffensive against the forces of Shu occupying Guanzhong, and strongly advocating the recapture of Guanlong Yongliang.
Obviously, Sima Yan is more in line with the standards of a good king in their minds, so Sima Yan got the unanimous approval of the important ministers of the court, and repeatedly persuaded Sima Yan in front of Sima Zhao to make Sima Yan the heir.
After a short contact with Sima You, Liu Yin has also learned that Sima You really has no intention of competing for succession, and he does not have any particularly strong requirements for the throne, which can be said to be casual and peaceful, whether he inherits the throne or not, it is not a particularly important matter for Sima You.
Such an indifferent mentality obviously does not take advantage of the matter of competing for succession, if the situation is allowed to develop like this, Sima Yan will inevitably ascend to power, then the purpose of Liu Yin's trip will become meaningless.
We can't wait any longer, it's time to do something.
Although Sima You has no significance to Liu Yin, but a hawkish figure and a **** figure will have a far-reaching impact on the changes in the current situation, although Liu Yin has not seen Sima Yan, but he has heard a little about Sima Yan's strength, if there is no later arrogance and indulgence in pleasure, Sima Yan can be called a wise founding monarch.
Obviously, the coming to power of these powerful figures has a great impact on the changes in the situation in the whole world, and Liu Yin is here to create some difficulties for Sima Yan to ascend to the throne, add some blockage to him, and consume a little bit of Wei's strength, so as to occupy an advantageous position in the battle with Wei for Guanzhong.
But to persuade Sima You directly, it doesn't seem to have much effect, and it makes people feel that there is a suspicion of instigating their brotherly relationship, and it seems that they can only go through other ways, Liu Yin thought about it and thought of a person, that is, Sima - Ji Xi next to Sima You.
