Chapter 590: Usurpation
"King Qijin, Shangshu Pei Xiu was drunk last night, and when he arrived at Luoshui Bridge, he accidentally fell into the water and drowned." As soon as Sima Yan got up early in the morning, he received a report from the attendant.
Sima Yan sighed lightly, without any expression on his face. Of course, he knows very well that Pei Xiu will never survive last night, he moved his hands and feet in the glass of wine he gave Pei Xiu, mixed with some mercury, mercury is poisonous, but the poisonous attack is not as fast as dove poison, only after the mercury is absorbed by the kidneys, there will be poisoning, dizziness, heavy waist and eyes, and unsteady walking, which is also in line with Pei Xiu's luck, but he walked to the Luoshui Bridge and poisoned his hair, which made people mistakenly think that he was drunk and fell into the water, and covered up Sima Yan's poisoning and murder.
Sima Yan is definitely not the kind of magnanimous person, anyone who betrays him, Sima Yan will never let go, although Pei Xiu wrote a confession under duress, but Sima Yan will never allow such a betrayal to happen, especially Pei Xiu, who once relied on his right and left hand, actually betrayed him for his life, so when Sima Yan regained the throne, Pei Xiu's fate was doomed.
Because Pei Xiu's matter involved the issue of Sima Zhao's death, Sima Yan could not escort Pei Xiu to the downtown entrance to divide the body of five horses like he beheaded Ren Kai Yuchun, and as Sima Yan's former confidant, if Sima Yan really beheaded Pei Xiu, it would be easy to be criticized.
But the inability to cure Pei Xiu's sin does not mean that Sima Yan can swallow this grievance, on the banquet of the Jin Palace, Sima Yan deliberately relieved Pei Xiu with words, made him relax his vigilance, and then gave him poisonous wine oozing mercury, which secretly ended his life.
Heard the news that Pei Xiu had died. Sima Yan calmly ordered him to be buried. and gave it a duke. This is a superficial article that Sima Yan still has to do, and he ordered his son to shadow his lord. Pei Xiu deserves it, and he is innocent of death, but in terms of his previous contributions, Sima Yan did not punish the three clans, which can be regarded as extraordinarily gracious.
After breakfast, Jia Chongjin saw him.
Jia Chong and Pei Xiu were Sima Zhao's right and left hands before, but the relationship between the two was like a separation. On the one hand, they cooperated seamlessly, but on the other hand, they were secretly vigilant, and now Pei Xiu died unexpectedly, which made Jia Chong feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Pei Xiu's confession was originally a secret, and even Jia Chong didn't know about it, but Jia Chong was cunning and had already guessed seven or eight points, but this was about Sima Yan's face, and Jia Chong deliberately pretended to be confused, and deliberately showed sadness and regret in front of Sima Yan. I almost burst into tears.
Although Sima Yan couldn't figure out whether Jia Chong was doing a fake play or a real play. Anyway, it was just tacit, put Sima You under house arrest, poisoned Pei Xiu, and uprooted the Youdang family, Sima Yan did a good job, but he still had one thing in his mind, not about Liu Yin's escape, but about Emperor Wei Cao Huan.
At the time of the Luoyang Incident, Sima You had besieged the Jin Palace with Cao Huan's edict, although everyone in Wei knew that Cao Huan was a puppet emperor, and all military affairs were decided in the Jin Palace, but Cao Huan was still the nominal Emperor of Wei, and the edict he issued was still valid. If it weren't for Wang Yuanji's plea and Sima You's soft-heartedness, Sima Yan would never have survived now.
So as soon as he mentioned this, Sima Yan gritted his teeth with hatred, this Cao Huan was really tired and crooked.
Sima Yan asked Jia Chong: "When Cao Cao was alive, there was a cloud: 'If the destiny of heaven is in me, I am the king of Zhou Wen!'" Is that so? ”
How smart Jia Chong is, as soon as he heard Sima Yan's words, he knew that Sima Yan had the heart to win, and immediately said: "Cao Cao is subject to Hanlu in the world, and I am afraid that the world will talk about his name of usurpation, so I said this, and taught Cao Pi to be the Son of Heaven." Cao Pi also did not meet Cao Cao's hope, Cao Cao died, and the bones were not cold, and Cao Pi usurped the throne of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. ”
Sima Yan tried it with words and said, "How is the lonely father king better than Cao Cao?" ”
Jia Chong said: "Although Cao Cao has made great achievements in China, the people of the world are afraid of his prestige but not his virtue. Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, the service was very heavy, the people were unbearable, and the four generations after the succession were all incompetent lords. I Xuan Wang, King Jing, King Wen, accumulated great achievements, retreated to the west Shu soldiers, the rebellion of Huainan in the east, the south and the north to fight, great achievements, Wei Zhijiangshan, if it were not for Sima's protection, it has already changed hands to others, such feats, Cao Cao can not compare. ”
Sima Yan said happily: "Doesn't that mean that Cao Pi can Shao Han Tong, and Gu can also Shao Wei Tong?" ”
Jia Chong bowed and said: "Your Highness is just the story of Cao Pi Shaohan, rebuilding the Zen platform, announcing the world, and taking the throne." ”
Sima Yan was overjoyed, and the next day he brought a sword into the palace and went to the palace with a sword.
It was the prerogative of Sima Zhao, the king of Jin, to go to the palace of the sword, and Sima Yan inherited the throne of the king of Jin, so he naturally inherited this privilege.
Cao Huan has not been to the court for a long time, and even since he became the emperor, he has never discussed matters in the palace hall, and this morning he received an envoy sent by Sima Yan, the king of Jin, to inform him to go to the palace to discuss matters, and Cao Huan was immediately dumbfounded.
Since Sima You entered the palace to ask for the edict, Cao Huan's left eyelid has been beating non-stop, and his heart is always panicked, especially when the news of Sima You's defeat and Sima Yan regaining the throne, Cao Huan is in a state of panic, and when he receives the notice of Sima Yan's court, Cao Huan has already understood that the big thing is going to happen, and he even sits on this puppet emperor.
Cao Huan didn't know how he got to the palace, in short, his mind was dizzy, even the hundred officials saluted him to congratulate, Cao Huan stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do, in a trance, and behaving at a loss.
"Your Majesty, it's time to let the ministers get even." The deacon and eunuch beside him reminded Cao Huan in a low voice.
Cao Huan suddenly realized that he had never gone to court, and this set of court rituals was almost forgotten, and he stammered: "Ladies and gentlemen, ...... Flat ......"
The ministers in the palace couldn't help but smile knowingly, and a few people laughed unscrupulously, which made Cao Huan even more at a loss, he wanted to sit down, but unexpectedly mixed a heel and almost fell, which undoubtedly caused the hall to laugh, in the eyes of everyone, Cao Huan was like a clown who acted in a burlesque.
The majestic palace hall is full of majesty.
Sima Yan also laughed secretly and nodded at Jia Chong.
Jia Chong comprehended, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance." (To be continued.) )
