Wen Qiao was initially recruited by the imperial court as a Du Guan to serve as a minister, a lieutenant, and a subordinate. He was not afraid of the powerful in enforcing the law and would always take action when he made mistakes. He was praised by Yu Zhi, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, as "the forest is as thick as a thousand-foot-long pine.

"Used as a pillar" shows the high evaluation

At this time, Wen Qiao's talent came to light. In fact, he was not willing to quarrel with Wang Dun and Wang Dao brothers, so he quickly came up with a plan to graft on the past and said with a slight smile: "There are quite a few things the Prime Minister said.

To be fair, Qian Feng does not have enough family background to be left alone.

But the prince is the crown prince of the country, which is related to the future of our country in the Jin Dynasty. Since I and Yuan Gui have been appointed by your majesty to serve as ministers in the East Palace, they must do their best to persuade the prince. Compared with joining the vassal in Yizhou, which is more important?

It is clear at a glance that in addition, the envoys of the imperial court have left Beijing for Hanzhong at the end of May. It is now mid-August. Even if it takes some time to rush from Nanzheng to Chengdu, the edict should be announced to Liangzhou Mu at the latest in September.

It would take at least two months for the imperial court to dispatch officials to serve in Chengdu. In this way, they may miss Liangzhou Mu, which will cause inconvenience in the handover and lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, in my opinion,

, it is better to hurry up with an eight-hundred-mile horse, select a local official from the nearest place to temporarily replace the governor of Yizhou, and let him take office. This is a foolproof strategy. Does the Prime Minister think so?"

Before Wang Dun could speak, Xun Song first praised: "What Taizhen said is very true. The sooner this matter is handled, the better, and the court cannot delay it." Then he saluted Sima Rui and said: "Your Majesty, you can accept Taizhen's words and leave Yizhou."

Officials from nearby areas will be transferred to take over for the time being, and we will discuss the rest after the situation in Yizhou stabilizes."

Although Xun Song was the father of Xun Guanniang, he did not belong to any faction. His Zhongshu Ling was also the result of mutual compromise between the two kings. If one of the two kings took up this important position, the Hua

I don’t agree that Xun Song’s role is to act as a peacemaker to ease the conflicts between the two factions.

Sima Rui also secretly praised Wen Jiao for his clever methods, but he showed no sign of emotion on the surface and turned his attention to Wang Dun.

But Wang Dun turned a blind eye to Sima Rui's inquiries. Debate was not his strong point, and he did not bother with verbal disputes. This man believed in the supremacy of force, otherwise he would not have stationed troops in Stone City to intimidate Sima Rui.

Something treacherous is coming

Wang Dun looked at Director Wang who was directly opposite him, but Director Wang shook his head slightly and thought for a moment. Wang Dun also understood what Director Wang meant. The Huaxian Sect seemed to be weak in the court, but it had troops outside. If forced

When Wen Qiaogengliang went to Yizhou, the result was bound to be a lose-lose situation for both sides, not to mention the unpredictable factor of Yunfeng occupying the upper reaches of the river.

Now that the intention of splitting the Huaxian Sect has been seen through, let's give up for the time being. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. There is no need to fight for the moment. The primary threat now is Yun, who has occupied most of Liang and Yizhou.

Feng, this person has a trouble in his heart, not only having trouble sleeping and eating

With Xun Song, a peacemaker, intervening, Wang Dun was happy to go along with the situation and give him face. He immediately pondered: "Taizhen's concerns are indeed very important. In this case, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Director Wang thought for a moment, looked at Sima Rui meaningfully, stroked his beard and said: "Yizhou borders the four prefectures of Guang, Ning, Hunan and Liang respectively. If one of these four prefectures recruits a county governor to serve as the governor of Yizhou, he may not have enough qualifications and reputation to make it difficult."

The local scholars and people in Yizhou are convinced. For this reason, I suggest that one of the four governors be selected and moved to Yizhou as governor."

Sima Rui secretly screamed that something was wrong and began to worry in his heart. Tao Kan was the governor of Guangzhou, Sima Cheng, the king of Qiao, was the governor of Xiangzhou, Sima Jiu was the governor of Ningzhou, and Gan Zhuo was the nominal governor of Liangzhou. Tao was the governor of Liangzhou.

Kan and Gan Zhuo belong to the Huaxian Sect faction, and it is conceivable that the Huaxian Sect would not agree to let these two people go to fight with Yunfeng. Yizhou governor could only choose one of them between Sima Cheng and Sima Jiu.

Involuntarily, a trace of anger welled up in his heart. Even if Sima Rui was willing to be a puppet, the clay figurine was still very angry. In fact, who would be the governor of Yizhou had nothing to do with him. He was also happy to see Yunfeng and Huaxian.

The three parties, the door and the two kings, are fighting to the death. But now, the fire is very likely to burn on his head.

You must know that Sima Cheng and Sima Jiu are both members of the royal family. Although they have few soldiers and generals, and they are in a remote area, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, which can be regarded as a little strength of the royal family. However, once they go to Yizhou, there is no way to go

The possibility of no return is extremely high

Just when Sima Rui was restless, Wen Qiao took over and said: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Situ's words are reasonable. When King Qiao, Shi Xing, Tao Kan Biaozi and Ji Siganzhuo Biaozi each left the town,

The time is still short and cannot be easily mobilized. However, General Sima Jiu has been in Ningzhou for nearly ten years, and the situation in Ningzhou has become relatively stable. Therefore, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an edict to move Sima Jiu, the governor of Ningzhou, to be the governor of Yizhou."

Wen Qiao and the two brothers belonged to different factions, and they often had large and small fights. However, both sides had one thing in common, which was to suppress the imperial power and divide the power among the gentry to rule the world. Since someone must serve as the governor of Yizhou, then,

Let Sima make the sacrifice and let Sima Jiu be the scapegoat. Yunfeng can also use Yunfeng's hand to eliminate an effective force of the royal family. He doesn't think Yunfeng will give up Yizhou.

Sima Shao looked at his father's old face and the looming anger, and felt a pain in his heart. What else does this emperor mean? The courtiers united to restrict the royal family, and they were restrained everywhere and had no power to do anything.

Among Wen Qiao and Geng Liang, although Wen Qiao was the crown prince's concubine and was responsible for advising the prince, he still focused most of his attention on the interests of the sect and the gentry. When there was a conflict between the imperial power and the gentry, they would not care.

Choose to restrain the imperial power without hesitation

But Geng Liang was better. Sima Shao could feel that Geng Liang was becoming more loyal to the royal family and more sympathetic to the royal family. He subconsciously turned to Geng Liang for help.

Geng Liang secretly sighed. He had no words to help at this time. With his meager strength, it would not make any difference at all. On the contrary, it would make Wen Qiao dissatisfied with him. Besides, apart from Sima's sacrifice, he did not add anything.

Suitable candidate, he could only shake his head slightly, and then avoid his eyes as if running away.

Geng Liang's expression was clearly visible, and Sima Shao didn't blame him. He also knew Geng Liang's difficulties. It was just an unconscious behavior. What he hated most in his heart was Wang Dun. A crazy idea flashed out of his heart.

Just as Sima Shao was making secret calculations, Wang Dun urged: "Your Majesty, I agree with Taizhen's suggestion that there is no suitable candidate except General Hussar. Without further delay, please issue an edict immediately."

Sima Rui reluctantly mustered up the courage to say: "The barbarians live in the southwest of Ningzhou, and the situation is complicated. It has been so long since General Hussar's operation has led to such a stable situation. If he takes office in Yizhou, there is a risk that something unexpected will happen to Ningzhou, so this matter... might as well be done again

Let’s discuss it”

Wang Dun suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and he was about to urge him again, but Director Wang stopped him with his eyes.

Director Wang saluted and said: "Your Majesty is very worried. General Hussar is indeed of great use to Ningzhou. I have a suggestion to solve it properly."

"Oh?" Sima Rui felt a glimmer of hope and asked quickly: "Master Situ, please speak."

Not only Wang Dun, but everyone in the palace cast doubtful eyes. Seeing that the overall situation was about to be decided, Director Wang was causing trouble. They didn't understand what Director Wang's purpose was (to be continued)
