In May, the pavilion in the back garden of Prince Kuaiji's Mansion.
The two concubines shook their feather fans gently, and the cool breeze blew. Sima Daozi was lying on the ice bamboo couch, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping.
On the opposite stage, "The Peacock Flies Southeast" was singing, and Sima Daozi's fingers were gently beating the rhythm on the couch.
Sima Daozi felt very tired after not eating well and sleeping restlessly a while ago. Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan finally retreated as instructed. It was time to rest for a few days and avoid foreigners. +
At the court, Wang Xun, Xie Yan, Che Yin, Wang Ya, Sima Shangzhi and others were temporarily in charge of political affairs. Except for the endless fighting in the north, the country could barely be called peaceful.
With the sound of footsteps, the crown prince Sima Yuanxian entered the pavilion to salute.
Sima Daozi raised his left hand and signaled his son to sit down wherever he wanted. He stayed away from guests in his mansion, and Sima Yuanxian informed him of the decisions made in the court.
After the song was finished, Sima Yuanxian waved his hand, and everyone on the stage retreated. The concubine holding the fan also quietly left, leaving only the father and son in the pavilion.
Sima Daozi opened his eyes slightly, looked at the memorial held in Sima Yuanxian's hand, and said: "If it is a war in the north, don't read it. These barbarians are fighting back and forth, which is a good thing for our court."
Sima Yuanxian said: "There are two things that require the father to make the decision. One is that Wang Guobao's two brothers, Shizhong Wang Kai and Qiaoqi Sima Wang Yu, have sent letters of apology and asked the father to make a decision."
Sima Daozi sat up and sighed: "The Taiyuan Wang family has contributed to the country, and Wang Kai and Wang Yu cannot be blamed for Wang Guobao. What's more, the two of them have different mothers from Wang Guobao. In the past, they were not in harmony with each other, so they wrote Shangshu and ignored them. , just let them do their work with peace of mind.”
Sima Yuanxian recorded it and added: "Wang Gong raised his troops, and his younger brother Wang Lian was in mourning in Wu County, so he raised troops in Sanwu to support him. After Wang Gong withdrew his troops, he ordered Wang Lian to withdraw his troops and continue to mourn. However, when Wang Gong raised his troops, he went on a rampage in Sanwu I am determined to kill my dissidents and cannot stop myself. Now I am sending a letter to the court, intending to switch sides and attack Wang Gong, and ask for my father’s permission.”
Sima Daozi laughed and said: "If a dog bites a dog, the lonely king doesn't care whether he lives or lives."
Sima Yuanxian smiled and said: "Wang Yan used women as soldiers when he sent troops to Sanwu, named his daughter General Zhenlie, and used women as his officials. I heard that he also appointed Gu Chen's mother Kong, who was over 100 years old, as a military officer. Sima, it really makes people laugh."
Sima Daozi turned the coin in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "This matter can be considered. Let Shangshu Sheng forward Wang Yian's letter to Wang Gong. Didn't Wang Gong flaunt himself as a loyal minister? Let him put an end to Wang Yian's rebellion. Let them fight as brothers, and let my father sit back and watch his injuries."
Sima Yuanxian praised: "My father is very resourceful, and this plan is very clever."
Sima Daozi glanced at his heroic son and said: "This mutiny incident made my father realize that only his own family can be trusted. Xian'er has already performed the crown ceremony and has learned a lot. It's time to join the court and serve as an official to relieve his father's worries."
Sima Yuanxian was overjoyed, stood up and bowed: "The child should serve his father."
"Tomorrow, I will go to the East Hall and appoint you as a servant and a general to recruit prisoners. The Wei Mansion and Xuzhou civil and military affairs will be at your disposal." Sima Daozi stroked his beard and looked at his son with a smile.
Sima Yuanxian bent his knees and prostrated, and said, "My son, I will live up to my father's trust."
"My son, please get up." Sima Daozi shook his head and said, "This mutiny has allowed my father to see clearly the distance between relatives in the court and how many people can be trusted."
"The four brothers of King Qiao Sima Shang are members of the same clan. They are loyal, talented and worthy of trust."
Shaking his tail, Sima Daozi said again: "The Prime Minister of Nanjun, Jiang Ji, tried his best to prevent Yin Zhongkan from raising an army. He once said that there is no need to fear death. This gentleman is upright and can succeed Chu Can as the censor Zhongcheng."
The Empress Dowager Cu came to the court three times to support the six emperors. She had a high prestige in the court. Although she has passed away, the descendants of Yu Ze. Cu Can is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cu and is quite prestigious in the court. She has repeatedly impeached Wang Guobao for his crimes. .
Now that Wang Guobao was executed and the situation in the court was stabilized, Sima Daozi could not help but think of Wang Guobao's benefits and could not punish Wang Gong, so he used Chu Can as a scapegoat and wanted to replace him with Jiang Ji.
"The governor of Yuzhou, Yu Kai, and the governor of Xuzhou, Liu Gai, immediately mobilized troops to serve the king after receiving Gu's order. Therefore, Wang Gong did not dare to act rashly. These two people are Gu's confidants and can be relied on as foreign aid."
Sima Daozi remembered that Wang Gong sent troops but not a single soldier threatened Jiankang from the waterway, and said: "General Fubo and Yang Anxuan, who patrolled the river, are talented people. It is rare to be loyal and righteous in the face of disaster. If you practice more, you will be better in the future." Whether you are in the court or in the outer town, you can be a helping hand to the court."
Sima Yuanxian said uncomfortably: "Father, although Yang Anxuan is talented and learned, his conduct is poor and he has offended many aristocratic families in the capital. Such a person should be used with caution."
Sima Daozi was very aware of his son's jealousy, and warned in a deep voice: "Zeng Yun, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, himself was 'not as good as three things', but he conquered the world because he knew how to make good use of others. Yuan Xian, you will be in charge of the government for your father in the future, so you need to learn from Learn from the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty."
Sima Yuanxian said sadly: "My child has written it down."
Sima Daozi analyzed it with sincerity: "This time Wang Gong raised troops to rebel, many aristocratic families joined the rebellion, and most of the courtiers kept silent and wisely protected themselves. The left guard Hengxiu was stationed at Jingkou, and when he saw Wang Gong's troops, he did not dare to stop him. Only Yang Anxuan Blockade the river and prevent ships from going west, so that Jiankang will not have to worry about the water. It should be noted that the patrol camp can only contain 500 new troops. Wang Gong can destroy it with a snap of his fingers. It is rare for Yang Anxuan to be unafraid in the face of danger."
Sima Yuanxian muttered: "Someone in the capital filed a complaint against Yang Anxuan in front of his ministers, saying that he used power for personal gain, blocked waterways, cut off traffic, and acted daringly."
Sima Daozi scolded: "A group of short-sighted people only focus on financial institutions. Don't they know that there is no hair left behind?"
Sima Yuanxian reminded: "This time Yin Zhongkan raised troops from Jingzhou, and the man who led the Jingzhou troops was Yang Quanqi, the father of Yang Anxuan. My father must be on guard."
Sima Daozi's expression condensed and he sighed for a long time: "What my son said is true. Yang Quanqi is working for Yin Zhongkan in Jingzhou. We really need to be careful about Yang Anxuan following his father's orders and doing things that are detrimental to the court."
Sima Yuanxian suggested: "I heard that Yang Anxuan has always wanted to defend his country. Why don't my father find an opportunity to send him to the border to defend the enemy?"
Sima Daozi stroked his beard and said happily: "My son is smart and can inherit the family business. It is a great comfort for my father."
Sima Yuanxian smiled and said: "Father, Wang Mingjian, knows how to make good use of people, and would not let Han Gaozu do it."
Father and son laughed heartily at each other.
…………
In Yishui Town, Jingkou, the camp of Xunjiang Supervisor was filled with cheers.
Meng Longfu wields the sword, Zhu Lingshi holds the sword, and the two ride horses to fight together. Zhou You personally beat the drum on the general stage to cheer for the two of them.
The sound of the drums was like exploding beans, and the two of them started fighting. The collision of swords and swords erupted into strings of sparks. Liu Zhong was gearing up and shouting loudly, wishing he could ride his horse and join the battle with his sword.
After the competition in the ring, Zhu Lingshi came to Xunjiang Camp the next day to look for the Menglong Talisman to compete and watch the battle. The two met their opponents, regardless of winning or losing.
This aroused Zhu Lingshi's interest even more, and he came to Xunjiang Camp from time to time to ride horses and shoot arrows. Meng Longfu rarely encountered opponents when he was in Jingkou, and there were many masters in Xunjiang Camp. He was really at home and had a great time.
As a river patrol officer, Yang Anxuan had a lot of official duties to deal with and did not watch the battle. Hearing the sound of the drum, Yang Anxuan listened for a moment and smiled.
Picking up the cup, he found that the tea had been drained and Zhang Feng had slipped away to the camp to watch the battle and play.
The Fifth Military Department sent a letter to reward the patrol camp with 100,000 yuan and 200 bolts of silk for its role in blocking the waterway. This was still far from the promotion Yang Anxuan had expected.
Xu Jing, the chief reporter, came into the office and reported: "General Yang, two months' worth of food and supplies have been sent from Beijing, and I have already inspected them and put them in the warehouse."
In the past, the food and salary for the Xunjiang Battalion was transferred by the Zuo Wei Army, which was inevitably deducted, and most of the materials delivered were damaged. This time, the Fifth Military Department directly escorted the Xunjiang Battalion, which showed that in the eyes of the court, the Jiangxuan Battalion was transformed from a stepmother to a biological child.
When Yang Anxuan ordered the waterway to be cut off, everyone in the patrol camp was worried, fearing that it would offend the governor and make it difficult to gain a foothold in Jingkou.
We must know that Yang Anxuan and others can move to another official position, and then small officials like Xu Jing will not have a good life.
When the situation calmed down and General Yang was commended by the King of Kuaiji, Xu Jing and others were overjoyed.
They, the officials who patrolled the river, would follow the lead of the superior officer. Just by looking at the money and food allocated by the court on time every month, they knew that the king of Kuaiji valued the river patrol camp.
The Xunjiang Supervisor has opened its own gate, but the inside has not yet been separated by a wall. The people from the Xunjiang Supervisor went in and out to meet their former colleagues, their backs straightened, and they spoke with a certain amount of arrogance.
Shortly after the drumming stopped, Zhang Feng came in with a pile of letters and a smile.
The letters are letters from home. Since the merchant ship of Chen Yu and others opened, Yang Anxuan can receive letters from home two or three times a month.
Chen Yu and others took Yang Anxuan's letter to Baling, and Yang Quanqi was preparing to go to Jiangling to take up his post next year.
After reading Yang Anxuan's letter, Yang Quanqi asked Chen Yu about his plans. Chen Yu decided to attach himself to the Yang family and become the Yang family's caravan, transporting goods on the waterway for the Yang family.
Yang Quanqi asked his clan to prepare more than ten merchant ships, and assigned more than a hundred people from the newly acquired tribes to Chen Yu to take charge of them. He formed several caravans, heading north to Xiangyang and Xinye, west to Jiangling and Yizhou Fengjie, and east to Wuchang. , Jiangzhou, Jiankang, Jingkou and other places.
First, he tore open Yang Quanqi's letter. The letter stated the process of raising troops in Jingzhou, and proudly stated that the Yin governor relied heavily on him. Now, all the troops and horses in Jingzhou are under his command.
However, Yang Quanqi also confided his troubles in his letter. Yin Zhongkan relied more and more on him, which made Huan Xuan unhappy and scolded him in person several times.
At first Yang Quanqi still swallowed his anger, but later he saw that Huan Xuan became more and more bossy, thinking that Yang Liang had surrendered to his father Huan Wen, and the Yang family was just his general.
Yang Quanqi drew his sword and shouted angrily, and almost started fighting with Huan Xuan on the spot. Yin Zhongkan tried his best to dissuade him, and the two parties broke up unhappy.
Yang Quanqi was also deeply worried when he thought that the Huan family had been entrenched in Jingzhou for decades and had deep roots, with disciples and former officials spread throughout Jingzhou.
You must know that Huan Xuan sent assassins to assassinate him at every turn. When Liu Mai, who joined the army, had a few arguments with him, Huan Xuan sent someone to assassinate him that night. Fortunately, Liu Mai listened to Yin Zhongkan and escaped first. Huan Xuan still refused to give up and sent people to chase after him. He gave up only after he failed to catch up.
Yang Anxuan raised his brows. Huanxuan relied on the power of his father and brother to act recklessly in Jingzhou and would usurp the throne in the future. He was an ambitious and arrogant person and should be dealt with with caution.
The letter mentioned that the Nanman captain Yin Yi was about to die, and Huan Xuan was trying his best to persuade Yin Zhongkan to petition the court to ask his fifth brother Huan Wei to take over as the Nanman captain.
The Nanman captain had a high position and held military power. From the bottom of his heart, Yin Zhongkan did not want the Huan family to get it, but he could not find a suitable candidate.
Yang Anxuan was secretly happy, this was a good opportunity for the Yang family. When discussing with my father, I had mentioned that we would look for an opportunity to transfer my uncle and third uncle back to Jingzhou.
The eldest uncle and the third uncle are both brave generals. With their father's help, Huan Xuan also has to worry about three points.
There will be a vacancy for the Nanman captain. As the governor of Huainan, his uncle Yang Guang is a suitable candidate. The governor of Yin will be happy to agree.
At the end of the letter, Yang Quanqi mentioned with concern that this time he followed Yin Zhongkan in raising troops, which would inevitably have a negative impact on Yang Anxuan. If Yang Anxuan felt uncomfortable, he might as well come to Jiangling. Jingzhou had its own place for him to use his power. People can also get together.
Yang Anxuan smiled. He didn't want to take refuge under his father's wings. Troubled times were coming, and opportunities would also appear.
Then I read Yang Qiu's letter. The little girl, who is one year older, complained that the family was very deserted during the Chinese New Year this year. Her uncle, third uncle and brothers were all away, and she even had a lot less money.
The words were full of longing, which made Yang Anxuan a little sentimental. People have to grow up, and the carefree Qiu'er also felt sad.
Yang Li's letter stated that two new noodle restaurants have been opened in Baling. The noodle restaurant in Jiangling will also open in early June. The noodle restaurant's business is good. According to Yang Anxuan's letter, new products such as fried dough sticks and braised vegetables have also been launched.
The letter was written in a very orderly manner. It can be seen that the fourth sister is much more confident, which makes Yang Anxuan feel a sense of accomplishment. Li'er is a strong woman who has been taught by herself and will become a female boss of a chain group in the future. Thinking about this game, Make people excited.
