Wang Miaoyin smiled and said: "Brother Yu, it's not very important what we think. What's important is what you think and what actions you are prepared to take. No matter what choice you make, at this time, my mother and I will stand by you." This side supports you.”
Liu Yu sighed: "The Sima family can never really take power again unless they are willing to start from scratch and let the clan children join the army like the children of aristocratic families, accumulate merit and get the titles and official positions they deserve. But this time Sima Xiuzhi and Sima Rong In this period, before any merit was achieved, he was directly handed over to the governors of two major states. I am afraid that no one in the world will be convinced by this matter, and it also goes against the principles when our Beijing Eighth Party was originally established."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "But, is it really fair for you to deal with it this way? Sima Xiuzhi escaped from Nanyan with Liu Jingxuan. This time he can save Jiangling. You can make Liu Jingxuan the county governor, or even He is the governor of Jiangzhou, but if Sima Xiuzhi is not allowed to take over as the governor of Jingzhou, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "It's different. Liu Jingxuan brought out an entire army and summoned the old troops in Huaibei. Since he went to help, more than 20,000 troops have been established and organized. Not only did he defeat the rebels and regain Xun Yang Yang, but also provided reinforcements and food and supplies to Liu Yi and his frontline troops in waves, which was a great contribution to the country. But as for Sima Xiuzhi, he didn't have a single soldier in his hands, and he started from scratch. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Jiangling War, Leading a small force to rescue Sima Dezong, this achievement is completely incomparable with Liu Jingxuan."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "What about Sima Rongqi? His son, like Liu Jingxuan, must have recruited an army, with several thousand people. You can oppose Sima Xiuzhi, but Sima Rongqi, you Is there any reason not to let him recover Xishu?"
Liu Yu frowned: "This matter is what troubles me the most. Although Sima Xiuzhi has the title of Jingzhou Governor, according to the plan, Jiangling will be captured by Huan Zhen again, and then he will be relieved of the crime of losing territory. The official position is a result that everyone can accept. Wei Yongzhi or Zhuge Changmin can take over as the governor of Jingzhou. Liu Yi does not want to be the governor of Jingzhou, and he is unwilling to give up the governor of this large state to Daogui or Ashou, but If it was a rabbit, he wouldn’t have a problem with it.”
Wang Miaoyin smiled and said: "Wei Yongzhi is indeed the most suitable candidate. He has been a subordinate of Yin Zhongkan in Jingzhou for a while. He is familiar with the situation there. He also has thousands of elite soldiers as subordinates and can control the situation there. , with him around, Jingzhou can be worry-free for a period of time."
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "But Xishu is in big trouble. I never thought that Sima Chuzhi could actually recruit Yang Quanqi's old men. The Sima family actually has such descendants. It should not be underestimated. I'm looking for you today. , I just want to ask, what is the origin of Sima Rongqi, Sima Chu's father and son, and why did such a powerful character suddenly appear?"
Wang Miaoyin put away her smile and said seriously: "I came today to tell you this. Sima Rongqi is an incompetent mediocre person, but this Sima Chuzhi, his true identity is not the prince of Gaomi, but Emperor Xiaowu." Sima Yao’s illegitimate son, Sima Dezong, Sima Dewen’s half-brother!”
Liu Yu was so shocked that he took two steps back: "What, the illegitimate son of Emperor Xiaowu? How is this possible?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "It's a long story. It involves the Changming Daozi dispute. Sima Yao's mother, Li Lingrong, Queen Mother Li, was born as a Kunlun slave. She gave birth to two sons, Sima Yao and Sima Daozi. He had the appearance of a Kunlun slave, with curly black hair. It was not until the third generation of emperors Sima Dezong and Sima Dewen that he looked a little more like Han people and not so black, but still had many physical characteristics of a Kunlun slave. At that time, Sima Yao Wang Gong's sister, Wang Fahui, was forcibly arranged to be the queen. She suffered humiliation, so she retaliated by not appointing a queen after taking office. Instead, she favored Zhang Guiren, the sister of Zhang Fashun, the military advisor of the Daozi Party. You know all this. of."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, although Zhang Guiren was born as a commoner, his methods were ruthless, and there seemed to be an expert behind him. After entering the palace, he would not be able to have children, and he would not let Sima Yao get close to other concubines, that is, Sima De Zonghe and Sima Dewen's biological mother, Chen Shuyuan, only became pregnant accidentally when Emperor Xiaowu visited her accidentally while he was drunk. Afterwards, Zhang Guiren tried to poison her fetus several times. Sima Dezong was here The mother was born stupid because of some poison in her womb."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Yes, but the mafia seems to think that a demented prince is more susceptible to their manipulation, so under the protection or warning of Zhuque and others, Zhang Guiren still stopped and did not dare to do anything again. To harm the brothers, Li Lingrong, Queen Mother Li, made an unknown choice."
Liu Yu's heart moved: "Is Queen Mother Li afraid that the two princes will be harmed by the mafia and other wealthy families again, so she secretly asked the emperor to leave another son?"
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Exactly, Empress Dowager Li has lived in the palace her whole life and has seen too many of the harsh methods used by high-ranking families to control the emperor, and the reason why the Sima Dezong brothers can survive , it was just because Suzaku at that time let them go once for the benefit of the mafia. But in other words, their lives were still in the hands of the mafia. If one day they wanted to establish a new king, they could let the two princes die. It was unclear. So, Li Lingrong secretly asked his personal maid, who was also a Kunlun slave palace maid, to marry Sima Yao quietly in her harem, and relied on some secret skills passed down from their families to give Sima Yao another chance. Had an illegitimate child."
Liu Yu felt his scalp tingle when he heard this: "Is it possible to control the pregnancy of a boy and a girl?"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Think about the time when Emperor Jian Wen, Sima Yu, was over sixty years old. No woman in the world could help him conceive a dragon son. Only Li Lingrong could do it. In addition to her strong body, she was different from ordinary women. , and also relying on some ancestral fertility methods in her family, as long as she can get pregnant, and through some secret medicine that turns male into female, a dragon child can be born."
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin paused and her cheeks turned slightly red: "Perhaps, Brother Yu, you will need to use this method in the future."
But Liu Yu didn't have the mind to care about anything else. He pondered: "So, Sima Chuzhi was Sima Yao's illegitimate son, and he was prepared to be a prepared prince to succeed him in case something happened to the two princes in the future? "
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, so when Sima Chu was born, he was adopted by Sima Rongqi. Together with his biological mother, they were given to Sima Rongqi of the distant sect. He was promoted to Zongzheng and permanently stationed in the palace. , now you understand why Sima Chuzhi wanted to join the army since he was a child."
