In just one month, Wang Dun's army invaded Stone City. This is the western fortress of Jianye, only half a step away from the royal city. Sima Rui was in a hurry and recruited Liu Kun, Dai Yuan, Diao Xie and others to send troops to conquer, but they were defeated by Wang Dun one by one. Seeing that the Sixth Army was invincible and the emperor was helpless, Wang Dun did not immediately move into Jianye, but instead held on to Stone City and plundered his troops from all directions. Hundreds of officials in the court were horrified, and they all fled.
Seeing that there was no way, Sima Rui had to beg for peace with the lower figure, and sent Director Wang to persuade him.
The two brothers met again, and it was no longer the same as before.
"Then Sima Xiaoer already has the heart to get rid of me, the Wang clan of Langya, Maohong, do you still want to protect this person?" Wang Dun was full of anger when he saw Wang Dao.
Before he wrote a letter to refute Wang Dao, Sima Rui didn't mean to obey at all, but instead hired Yu Liang and other cronies. It was for this reason that Wang Dun decided to attack Jianye. It's good now, Sima Rui can't support it anymore, his cousin even said something. Could it be that he regarded Sima's family more than his own
Looking at his angry cousin, Wang Dao just sighed softly: "Brother now captures Jianye and seizes the throne. I don't even think about it, will someone treat me like the King of Langya in the future?"
Wang Dun was a little speechless when he said this. Yes, their brothers were the heroes who supported Sima Rui, and it was only a few years ago that they had the intention to usurp the throne. In the future, when their own family ascends the throne, how many people will be eyeing them, thinking of conspiracy
Seeing that Wang Dun had listened to what he said, Director Wang said again: "Brother always thinks that the position of Ninety-five is indescribable, but I don't know what year it is now? Maybe in the future, when the Northern Army goes south, the first person to give his life will be the seat of the army. The people above. Besides, the disputes between the north and the south are annoying, the head of the city is stagnant, there is frequent chaos, and the treasury has already bottomed out. Taking this throne, will it really make the King Langya prosper
These words made sense, but Wang Dun scolded bitterly: "If you give in, will Sima Xiaoer spare me waiting? When you are expelled from the center, and I have been deprived of military power, my Wang family will still be appointed. Slaughtered? Sima Rui can't stay any longer! It's better to change the emperor than today!"
Wang Dao was expressionless, and suddenly asked, "How is my brother than Emperor Xuan?"
This is not a denial, nor an endorsement, it just points out one person. Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan of Jin.
Even though Sima Yitian was a genius and ambitious, he never did anything during his lifetime. It was this forbearance that allowed the Sima Clan to replace the Cao family. But now that the Wang family has been able to "share the world" with the Sima family, why should they show their swords and put themselves in a disadvantageous position
Wang Dao is a first-class talker, and his eloquence is unparalleled. In a short sentence, Wang Dun hesitated, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "Today is not as good as the previous dynasty. The Central Plains fell, the capital moved south, and those who were willing to attach themselves to the Sima family were far inferior to those of the Cao family back then. That Liang thief dared to be there I don't know how many people's hearts have been changed by the establishment of a country in the north. How dare I ignore it?"
This is not wrong either. Nowadays, the South is mixed with fish and dragons, and I don't know how many people have ulterior motives. Just a Zhao country, let Sima's country crumble. At this time, if he really retreated, would he be able to keep the status of the Langya Wang Clan
Wang Dao refused to give in an inch: "Acting with care will eventually lead to disaster."
After staring at his cousin for a long time, Wang Dun finally let go: "It's okay. I can take it easy, but the position of prime minister must be in my hands."
As long as Wang Dun is willing to take this step, things will be easy to say. Director Wang also breathed a sigh of relief: "I will return to the court and report back to Your Majesty."
Will Sima Rui agree? This question is not considered by the two brothers. The Wang Clan of Langya will not delegate power, and as for how to seize the law, it will be explained in detail.
A few days later, a message came from the DPRK. Sima Rui made Wang Dun the prime minister and the shepherd of Jiangzhou, and added the title of Duke of Wuchang. Seeing the emperor give in, Wang Dunshi Shiran led his troops into the capital. He then ordered to kill Dai Yuan, Zhou Wei, and Diao Xie, and drove Liu Kun to Jiaozhou. For a time, the Jin Dynasty was in turmoil. In the face of such stubborn and powerful officials, many people began to think about the way back.

"Someone has offered the city again." Opening the memorial, Liang Feng smiled slightly when he saw the news.
Wang Dun's rebellion really shocked Jin. Several cities near Huai Shui are no longer the ends of the mouse heads, and they choose to rely on Da Zhao.
There's really nothing else to do. The appearance of Wang Dun, a powerful official, allowed the families to see the current situation clearly. The prestige of the Wang Clan of Langya has already surpassed that of the Sima Clan. If Wang Dun really usurped the throne, those who had served the Sima Clan would inevitably be purged. Those who moved to the north had nowhere to escape, or those scholars who were rooted in Jiangdong were nothing more than that. Those who live on both sides of the Huai River must make up their minds as soon as possible.
On the one hand, the territory is opened up and the lost land is recovered; How to choose, do I need to say more? Therefore, the surrender of Xiancheng has become the mainstream recently, and the number of people who have returned across the river has also increased by 30%.
As for Wang Dun's rebellion, it should have never happened in history. But in this time and space, it's really hard to say. After all, with his "role model" there, the original "different heart" may also grow and turn Jiang Dong into a different look.
This is Liang Feng's most hopeful result. The South Expedition is a matter of time, but the later the better. The north must not only be pacified, but must also accumulate enough strength to raise troops to the south. What he wants to fight is the war to destroy the country, not another Chibi.
Therefore, for the current strategy, Shudu is much more important than Jiangnan. However, Yizhou, where Shu land is located, is now being occupied by Di Ren Li Te, and it is not very easy to fight. It is better to pacify the surrounding area first, and then slowly map it.
While thinking about the established strategy, he flipped through the memorial, and when he saw a name, Liang Feng suddenly stopped. Huan Yi? He was not familiar with this name, but there were not many gentry with the surname "Huan" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"Let someone check, where is this Huan Yi from? Are there any children in the family?" Liang Feng ordered.
Not long after, someone responded. Huan Yi was a native of Longkang in the Qiao Kingdom, and was the ninth grandson of Huan Rong, a master of the Han Dynasty. His talents are outstanding, he is good at metaphysics, and he is known as the "Bada of Jiang Zuo". This time, because of Wang Dun's rebellion, the whole family voted for Da Zhao. Now there is only one young son in the family, named Huan Wen.
"Huan Wen..." Liang Feng laughed. This is a very famous person.
It seems that Huan Yi can also be reused. When you see his son, he also observes his father. Just like Xie Kun and Xie Sa, their talents and knowledge are top-notch. It's no wonder that the Xie Clan of Chen County has risen to the top of the army, and is as famous as the Wang Clan of Langya, and has given birth to such a romantic figure as Xie An. But in comparison, Liang Feng still prefers Huan Wen. After all, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were few generals who dared to send troops to the northern expedition.
As for ambition. The Eastern Jin can't fall, but he may not be able to use it. Maybe he is a general who can assist Rong Er.
In addition to this doll, Xie Shang from the Xie family and the unborn Xie An, and Wang Meng, who doesn't know if he will be fanned by butterfly wings. Heroes from all over the world have entered our world, and that's not all. As long as these people grow up smoothly, there will be no shortage of famous officials and generals around Rong'er and even Yu'er.
It's just that these people are still young. There's one more, and I'll leave it to Rong'er...

The dry hall at night is colder and more empty than during the day. Leaning on the imperial couch, Liang Feng suddenly said, "If I want the world to be stable, I'm afraid it will take ten years. I don't know if I can live until then..."
"The Lord is just when he is young and strong, why did he say this?" Yi Yan suddenly turned over and grabbed Liang Feng's hand tightly.
Liang Feng hooked his fingertips and pinched the opponent's palm: "I just thought of it suddenly. I'm six years older than you, so I'll always take a step first."
He is now in his late 40s, and even if he is properly maintained, the corners of his eyes have lines, and his physical strength and energy are declining year by year. The man in front of him had a clean chin and firm shoulders. Except for his calmness, he showed no signs of aging, and he was still young and high-spirited. This difference, I am afraid, will increase day by day with age. Even if he died, he might not be able to survive the person in front of him.
"If the lord is like Bintian, I will die and be buried!" Yi Yan firmly held Liang Feng's hand and said sternly.
"Absurd!" Liang Feng sat up, and his face became serious, "Life is precious, how can I abandon it because of others? Even if I am a stupor, it is impossible for my confidant to be buried!"
"Without the lord, how can I live alone?" Yi Yan's breathing became heavy. Busy with state affairs these years, the lord's health is not as good as it used to be. Seeing him thin and tired, how could Yiyan not be anxious? This thought has actually been running around in my mind many times. Even the construction of the imperial mausoleum started two years ago, and he didn't dare to look at it too much.
Looking at the man's stubborn expression, Liang Feng sighed lightly: "This country is my whole life. If I really go first, I want you to guard it for me and help Rong'er to secure a position."
The inheritance of the throne is very important for a dynasty. Therefore, the choice of important ministers is related to the overall situation. He wants one person to help Liang Rong quell the army, so that the troops belong to the hearts of the people. This person can only be Yi Yan. It must also be Yiyan.
"The lord will live a long life, so why think about it now?" Yi Yan choked in his throat, "Isn't it going to take ten years to settle down? The lord can set up some gardens and build a palace. I don't need to submit more memorials every day. , go hunting and boating, listen to songs and dances. There are still officials in the court, and there are soldiers on the front line, who can always help the lord to share his worries…”
Liang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are slandering. It's not an act of a loyal minister."
"Then I won't be a loyal minister! As long as the lord is healthy..."
What else Yiyan wanted to say, Liang Feng had already stretched his sleeves and took him in his arms: "Don't panic, I'm not doing well. But if there is a day, I want to wait for you at the tomb. Wait for you. Tell me that the country is stable, and the prosperous age has begun. This was laid down by you and me, and it should be guarded by you and me... "
The body in his arms, as before, is soft and tenacious, like pine and bamboo, it seems that it can never be bent. Yi Yan didn't want to promise, didn't want to agree, didn't want to let him go. But if that day does come, he will not disappoint the lord.
With a dull pain in his chest, Yi Yan closed his eyes and leaned against the other's shoulder. The two were like birds, hugging each other.
