"Ma Zhao of Lu Company sent people to blockade Luoyang and no one was allowed in or out."
"He is cleaning up the Chinese Army. He has replaced the generals in several battalions of the Chinese Army. He wants to completely control the Chinese Army!"
"This guy is so bold and doesn't take us seriously at all!"
"Damn it! It really deserves to be damned!"
"Can't tolerate it anymore!"
Compared with the cleanliness of Gao Rou's place, Lu Yu's place is very lively.
Almost all the ministers with real power in the three provinces are sitting here. Lu Yu is sitting in the upper position, and his left and right hands are both capable ministers of the country, and he has an unparalleled reputation.
The ministers looked a little impatient.
According to their thinking, Master Sima did not dare to do what Dong Zhuo did and did not dare to completely fall out with them.
But looking at the current situation, Sima Division seems to have gone crazy, blockading Luoyang unscrupulously, and even trying his best to integrate the Chinese army, which they cannot tolerate.
They all believed that if they continued to endure at this moment, Master Sima would approach step by step and sooner or later put a knife on their necks.
Lu Yu was also in a dilemma at this moment.
He had thought about many of Master Sima's strategies, but he never thought that this guy would do such a reckless thing. Did he really want to die together with the rich clansmen? !
Of course, if there was a direct battle with Master Sima, Lu Yu believed that he had a 70% chance of winning based on Master Sima's current physical condition.
However, such civil strife is really meaningless!
What's the use of winning?
The Sima family will be completely destroyed, but will there be any additional benefits to them? In the current situation, even if you defeat the Sima Division, it is difficult to become the second Sima Division. The leaders of the aristocratic families change frequently, and it is difficult to be hereditary and replace them like the generals.
And there are huge risks in doing so. You must know that Shu and Wu are staring at you.
The prime minister and general from the state of Wu had just come up, and he needed military exploits to stabilize his rule.
Needless to say, in the Kingdom of Shu, Yongliang was troubled by Jiang Wei every day.
If a civil war of this level broke out within the Wei State and swept through the Central Army and the Four Expeditions and Four Towns, Jiang Wei would probably go crazy laughing.
In that case, even if Sima Shi is defeated, people like himself may become Jiang Wei's prisoners.
Although the top aristocratic families are not afraid of the country's demise and can continue to retain their status in the new regime, if they lose to Shu, they will naturally be inferior to the big families of Shu. This is what they don't want to see. Arrived.
The great families of various countries had close exchanges with each other, and in the later stages of development, they were even less willing to fight. After the demise of the Shu Kingdom, the local aristocratic families of the Shu Kingdom became ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty. The same was true for the Wu Kingdom, which did not suffer any decent liquidation.
It can even be said that if the Shu Kingdom had not appeared because of Deng Ai Zhonghui, I am afraid that it would have been able to pass the customs with almost no damage.
Things like the friendship between Yang and Lu will occur, of course, because both of them have extremely high moral standards, but it also illustrates the attitude of the noble families towards their own country and the enemy's country.
The same is true for the surrender of Shu. Many people believe that the native faction of Shu surrendered because the long-term Northern Expedition resulted in insufficient national strength and inability to resist.
But it can be seen that the aristocratic family has a contemptuous attitude towards their own country. They don't care whether Shu still has the strength to resist. They just want to avoid being liquidated and can continue to assist the new regime.
Lu Yu didn't want to start a fight with Master Sima anyway.
But now, all the ministers are staring at him, hoping that he can stand up and solve the problem.
Since he wanted to be the leader of the family, Lu Yu couldn't back down at a time like this.
He had no choice but to say loudly: "I have sent someone to negotiate with the captain of the city gate. Don't worry, Sima Zhao will never dare to be rude to us. I already know about the affairs of the Chinese army. I have already reported to the Queen Mother and requested Wang Shangshu to Come and serve as the leading general! Let Ren Shilang serve as the Central Guards Army! Let Wang Shilang serve as the Central Guards Army!"
Everyone is aware of Lu Yu's arrangement.
Wang Shangshu refers to Wang Guan. This man is well-known. He has served as the leader of the Central Army and commanded the Central Army in the past. Moreover, he has a very close relationship with Lu Yu. Now that he is appointed as the leading general, he is allowed to command the entire Central Army. , cutting off the general's control over the Chinese army.
And Ren Shilang refers to Ren Kai, the son of the former Tai Changqing Ren Hao. He was very courageous and even married Princess Qi Chang, the daughter of Cao Rui. He was considered a royal family member and served as Zhongshu Shilang.
The last one refers to Wang Hun, the son of General Wang Chang who conquered the South. Well, he was also a subordinate of Cao Shuang. He was demoted because of Cao Shuang's failure and is now being requisitioned again.
None of the three people arranged by Lu Yu were his relatives. They included the three forces of courtiers, royal relatives, and foreign ministers. Compared with Gao Rou's behavior of using his own son, it was not less subtle.
When the ministers heard Lu Yu's words, they immediately calmed down.
At this time, Wang Xiang suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Mr. Lu, I went to the palace today to teach His Majesty, but I was blocked by Gao Dan, the lieutenant colonel of the palace. I was not allowed to enter. I asked for your Majesty's edict. He just let me in."
When Wang Xiang just stood up, Lu Yu had a bad feeling in her heart.
Ever since Wang Xiang tricked him in the court meeting, Lu Yu had been extremely wary of him.
This guy is really too dangerous. Every time he opens his mouth, he is causing trouble for himself!
Sure enough, as Lu Yu expected, when Wang Xiang said this, the officials were in an uproar.
Xunyi frowned and said angrily: "What does Gao Rou want to do? Does he want to be a Sima Master?! How dare he imprison His Majesty?!"
The ministers responded one after another, looking extremely dissatisfied.
This can't be blamed on the ministers. Situ's position is really too attractive.
Lu Yu was silent for a moment. Although he hated Wang Xiang more and more now, he couldn't care less about what Wang Xiang said.
Gao Rou's purpose was very clear, which was to take the route of the Queen Mother. On his side, he looked at the ministers, and finally looked helplessly at Wang Xiang. Among the Queen Mother, only Wang Xiang seemed to have a higher status than Gao Rou. ah.
"My lord, this matter still needs to be handled by the Queen Mother. After all, we are the Situ of the court, so we can't say much. Do you think we need to meet with the Queen Mother?"
Wang Xiang hesitated.
"this"
Xun Yi immediately said: "My lord, please don't hesitate. This is for world affairs. The Queen Mother and Your Majesty have just escaped from the tiger's mouth. How can they fall into the hands of the evil wolf again?"
Wang Xiang nodded, "Okay, I will take care of this matter."
Lu Yu forced out a smile and said, "The prince is a true and virtuous minister!"
The ministers discussed for a while and then left.
After they left, Lu Qin sat next to his father. In front of the officials, Lu Qin remained very low-key and did not get close to his father.
"What will father do next?"
Lu Yu stroked his beard and said with a sneer: "Master Sima did not dare to fight with us. He was just protecting his brother for fear that we would kill his brother."
"Now neither side dares to take action easily."
"This Chinese army is just a method he uses to confuse us, and his real method is definitely not that simple."
Lu Qin narrowed his eyes, "Will he be the emperor?"
"Um?"
"Father, you don't know something. The Zhang Hua I mentioned to you before has been recruited by the emperor, and there is also a man named Wei Shu."
"I don't know Wei Shu, but Zhang Hua, although young, is talented and definitely not mediocre."
"In these days, I have visited Zhang Hua several times. Zhang Hua always praised His Majesty's benevolence and was full of praise for His Majesty. I have never seen him praise others so much. If it was just a recommendation, it wouldn't be so. .”
"In addition, I also found that Zhang Hua has been very busy recently."
Lu Yu was a little shocked, "What is he busy with?"
"have no idea."
"I invited him here several times. He said there was something going on in the house. I went directly to his house, but there was no one else. I saw him on the road several times. He looked flustered and wanted to avoid me when he saw me. When I asked, he also Refuse to say more."
Lu Yu took a deep breath, "You mean His Majesty is planning something?"
"No, father, do you remember? Zhong Hui went to see His Majesty before."
"I think maybe Master Sima wants to use your Majesty to deal with us."
"Now that we have the support of the Queen Mother, we can compete with the Sima Division. But if the Emperor joins forces with the Sima Division, the Sima Division can use the Emperor's orders to fight against the Empress Dowager's edicts, and the Chinese army in his hands, as well as the local foreign troops Most of the soldiers are willing to obey the emperor's orders."
"Sima Master's prestige combined with the emperor's edict will bring us great trouble!"
Lu Yu frowned after hearing what his son said.
"you are right."
"I overlooked that."
Lu Qin asked: "Father, do we need to find a way to cut off their contact?"
Lu Yu shook his head, "It doesn't matter that Master Sima is dead soon. He no longer has the energy to win. Even if he contacted His Majesty, it was just to protect the clan. At this point, we don't have to fight him to death. The key to breaking the situation may be It's on Sima Fu's body."
"Oh? Sima Fu?"
Lu Qin said disdainfully: "This person is a hypocrite. He has participated in everything from seizing power to abolishing the establishment. But now he wants to share power equally with my family?"
Lu Yu laughed, "Master Sima deliberately threw Sima Fu out, isn't it just for us to use it to break the situation? If Sima Fu wants to re-enter, he will naturally have to pay a price. This break is the cost for him to rejoin. , Master Sima knows this very well."
"When he drove Sima Fu away, he just wanted Sima Fu to help us defeat him. I don't think Master Sima Fu would still want to solve major issues in the temple with his current physical condition."
"If he can protect the clan and keep a backup force, it's already good."
"Prepare the carriage and horses. I want to visit the Grand Master again."
"only!!!"
