Xi Sengshi opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What, you still want to run away? Are you crazy? Not to mention whether Liu Yi is willing to listen to you at this time, even if he really ran away with us, wouldn't Jiankang City be the same? Is it about to fall? If Jiankang is lost at this time, even if we escape to Wu, how long can we survive? "
Xie Hun sneered and said: "Things are not as desperate as you think. You see, when we come to the Ancestral Temple, Sima Rui crossed to the south and established the Jin regime with the support of Director Wang. If he, as a clan minister, would also follow other The princes of the Sima clan are still staying in Luoyang, wouldn't that mean that they would be left to Liu Cong, the barbarian?"
Xi Sengshi nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. However, Sima Rui back then, our Emperor Yuan was not the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was just a clan member. He was also the younger brother of Sima Yue, the distant sect, who was far away from the direct line of the royal family. So, in the end it was Emperor Huai of Jin, and Emperor Min of Jin became the last two emperors, because their blood relationship was much closer to Sima Yi."
Xie Hun laughed: "Yeah, then we don't have to keep the idiot emperor going to Wudi. The next best thing is to find a clan with normal intelligence who can take on the great responsibility in troubled times to go to Wudi. Once Jiankang City is not preserved, Then at least keep the fire and raise troops elsewhere to restore the Jin Dynasty. That's all right."
Xi Sengshi smiled slightly and looked at Xie Hun: "You said that, does it mean there is already a candidate?"
Xie Hun nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I have already chosen someone. The first choice is Sima Dewen, our Prince Langya."
Xi Sengshi's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then he shook his head and said: "Sima Dewen? It can't be him. Now that the Queen is away, Sima Dewen is the one who takes care of Emperor Sima Dezong every step of the way. He has to personally serve him when he eats or when he poops. If we don't touch Sima Dezong, it's impossible to touch Sima Dewen. I advise you not to make this idea."
Xie Hun said coldly: "In this world, you can't say that the emperor can't live without his wife or brother. There are many servants and palace slaves who can do these things to serve people. If you are afraid of someone poisoning, assassination, etc. , at worst, let Xie Hui take the Xie family secret guards into the palace to protect the emperor, or let Xu Xianzhi be responsible for the security of the palace. Humph, don't they want to be in power? Don't they want to master the Xie family's intelligence organization? Last time they failed to guard Meng Chang, give them another chance this time, since Liu Tingyun is dead anyway, no one will come to assassinate her again."
Xi Sengshi curled up his lips: "Even if it is as you said, then why did Liu Yi agree? As soon as he came back this time, he was pardoned by Liu Yu, made meritorious service for his crime, and helped him kill Liu Tingyun who betrayed him, and let him stay in the city He recruited troops, rebuilt the army, and gave him full authority to manage half of the city's defenses. Even our servants can be recruited by him. We can't give what Liu Yu can give, and Sima Dewen can't give it to him."
Xie Hun laughed: "I said Huituo, have you forgotten the most important thing? If Sima Dewen is saved and retreats to Wu, then he may become the second Director Wang. This is almost He had the only chance to stand up from Liu Yu. Liu Yu was able to defeat him because of his contribution to the establishment and restoration of the Jin Dynasty. Although Sima Dezong and Sima Dewen were rescued by Liu Yi personally, the leader of the alliance at that time was Liu Yu. , so the credit goes to Liu Yu."
"As for Liu Yi and Liu Xile, he could only become the No. 2 figure in the Beifu Army with his achievements in the Western Expedition. Once the position of the boss and second child was determined, there would be no chance for him to stand up. Liu Yi did not realize this back then. It can be said that he The great credit goes to Liu Yu, if he had not sent the emperor back, but ascended the throne in Jiangling and had him protect him, the situation would have been different."
Xi Sengshi frowned: "Ascend the throne in Jiangling? Why? The capital of the Jin Dynasty is in Jiankang, not Jingzhou. Since the Jin Dynasty crossed south, Jingzhou has been in constant rebellion, and the capital of Jiankang has been attacked several times. How could the emperor of the Jin Dynasty ascend the throne in a land of rebellion?"
Xie Hun sneered: "Speaking of this, I really want to discuss legal principles with you. You said that the capital of the Jin Dynasty was Jiankang? Then how did our Jin Dynasty come to be? Did we become the Jin Dynasty after crossing to the south? ?”
Xi Sengshi shook his head: "If you want to talk about legal principles, our Jin Dynasty should be founded by Emperor Wu Sima Yan, who accepted the abdication of the last emperor of Cao Wei, and the capital is in Luoyang. The southern crossing was only because of the Yongjia Rebellion. Hu catastrophe caused chaos in the Central Plains, and Emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty was forced to cross south, and temporarily established a political power in Jiankang. Jiankang was only a temporary companion capital. However, nearly a hundred years have passed since the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty moved south, and the people of the world have already agreed. Jiankang is the capital of the Jin Dynasty."
Xie Hun said coldly: "That's just because the Eastern Jin Dynasty who crossed south never really succeeded in the Northern Expedition and regained the lost territory. Although they captured Luoyang several times, they gave up quickly due to various reasons. Then Why does Liu Yu control the army? Isn't he just under the banner of recovering the two capitals and expelling the barbarians all day long? This is a righteous name!"
Xi Sengshi nodded and said: "Yes, so recover the two capitals, fight back to Luoyang and Chang'an, drive the Huru out of the Great Wall, and restore the Han world in the Jin Dynasty. This is the foundation of our Eastern Jin Dynasty. What do you mean?" Yes, if Liu Yi supported Sima Dezong at that time, ascended the throne in Jiangling, and in the name of regaining Luoyang and conquering the Huru personally, would there actually be a chance?"
Xie Hun laughed: "Of course, although Huan Chu was destroyed at that time, the Hulu country of Later Qin occupied Luoyang and Chang'an, and even sheltered the remnants of Huan Chu like Huan Qian, and supported the rebels of Shu. Qiao Zong's rebellion and self-reliance, these three are enough reasons to destroy their country and start a war. If Liu Yi had any brains, he could just use this name to protect the emperor's personal expedition and keep sitting in Jiangling. Then Liu Yu would be dumbfounded. This is tantamount to using the righteousness he shouts about every day to slap him in the face."
Xi Sengshi breathed a sigh of relief: "This move is really good, but why didn't you tell Liu Yi at that time?"
Xie Hun curled up his lips: "Why should I tell Liu Yi this? We have a cooperative relationship with him, not dependence on him. You know, what is our identity? We are descendants of the Nandu family. Our foundation is in Jiankang, the land of Sanwu, not Jingzhou. Liu Yi is a Qiu Battou who lives all over the world and fights all over the world. It doesn't matter where we settle down and set up a career, but we are asked to abandon a century-old family business and run away If Jingzhou messes with him, then our brains are broken?"
