Chapter 1030 Remedy (Part 2)
It was already night, and the prince's right guard led Zhou Ying to order dozens of people, and drove them to the Dongye Gate in a light vehicle.
Taicheng or Jianye Palace is still under construction. Most of the city wall on the east side has been completed, and a gate called "Dongye Gate" has been built.
Across the road to the east of Dongyemen is Yuanlin, where Prince Sima Su currently lives.
Wang Biaozhi, the lecturer of the East Palace, was standing on the west side of the road, bowed and said: "Your Highness, I have invited General Zuowei here, please come in quickly."
Sima Pei nodded slightly and got off the bullock cart.
Not sure whether he was anxious or excited, he almost staggered, but Crown Princess Shan Yinan caught him.
Sima Zonggang, General Zuowei and King of Nanton, came over with the key and kept mumbling. When he saw the prince, he frowned and said, "Why don't you take the chariot?"
"The country was founded, and even the emperor drove an ox cart. Why did General Zuo Wei say this?" Wang Biaozhi suddenly turned around, looked at Sima Zong, and scolded.
Sima Zong dared to find fault with the prince, but he did not dare to do anything wrong in front of the Wang clan. After hearing this, he stopped talking, handed over the key, and ordered the soldiers to open the door.
The Dongye Gate, which had a brand-new look and smell of wood, was pushed open forcefully.
The guards of the East Palace were left outside, and the prince and his wife, as well as Wang Biao, the minister of the East Palace, entered on foot.
A group of soldiers guarded them and quickly brought them to the front of Tai Chi Hall.
Taiji Hall is the only completed palace group in Taicheng. It was originally used for court meetings, not as a sleeping hall, but what are you thinking about now? It would be nice to live in a proper palace.
Taiji Hall has a total of twelve rooms, like the twelve months, all of which have been completed.
There are seven east halls and seven west halls on both sides, which are under construction.
There are two upper pavilions on the east and west side between the hall, and the square courtyard is sixty acres wide. It has only been planned hastily and has not been started yet.
The palace guards have always been served by the Forbidden Army, and the defense areas are rotated regularly. Today, the ones guarding the Taiji Hall and Dongye Gate area are the troops led by Zuowei General Sima Zong.
This person was extremely favored in the past. After all, he was from the clan. However, with the founding of the country by Sima Rui, various systems have been adjusted from those of the Supervisory State and even the shogunate era. Sima Zong's status is not as good as before. It is normal to be dissatisfied, and it is normal to vent this dissatisfaction - the imperial power is already weak. , Prince Kuang?
Sima Rao felt a little unhappy, but Shan Yinan stopped his blind movement with his eyes. The couple then walked forward silently and soon entered the palace room, while Wang Biaozhi, the minister of the East Palace, stayed outside and waited.
As soon as he entered the palace, Sima Pei's eyes narrowed slightly. Langya King Sima Chong actually came first!
"See the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Sima Chong and Zhuge Wenbiao both stepped forward and saluted.
Sima Cai and Shan Yinan bowed in return.
"Third brother, how is father?" Sima Su asked in a low voice.
"When I heard the defeat report in the afternoon, I felt a little dizzy. It will be much better now." Sima Chong said.
"King Langya is confused!" Crown Princess Shan Yinan said unceremoniously: "The Jin Dynasty had just been revived in Jianye for a few months, and it was full of vitality. Where did the defeat come from?"
Sima Chong was stunned when he heard this.
Princess Zhuge Wenbiao of Langya was standing there quietly, looking unwilling to speak. When she heard Shan Yinan's questioning, he couldn't help but glance at her.
Shan Yinan also noticed Zhuge Wenbiao.
The two of them had not had much contact before. After all, one was a scholar from Sizhou (Hanoi County) and the other was a scholar from Xuzhou (Langya County). They were not in the same circle.
Occasionally I heard some news, it was just that Zhuge Daoming gave birth to two daughters, both beautiful and intelligent.
She doesn't feel anything about it, and sometimes she feels a little dissatisfied. Am I not beautiful? But he quickly suppressed this emotion.
As a Crown Princess, she cannot indulge her temper like other ladies. She must be dignified and elegant, and be a good wife to the Crown Prince.
When she becomes a queen in the future, her mother will honor the world. Shouldn’t others bow to her respectfully?
Zhuge Wenbiao quickly withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
Suddenly a gust of wind came, and your concubine Shi came in a hurry.
The four of them saluted again.
The emperor has a system, and the kings serve him with maternal courtesy. Theoretically, it was necessary to calm down at dawn and dusk and call mother, but Sima Pei couldn't say it out loud, so he could only salute.
After all, the prince's biological mother is still alive, she is just being someone else's wife.
"Come with me." Shi said softly.
Everyone did as they were told.
Sima Rui had already sat up, half leaning on the inner panel of the compartment. His complexion was not bad, but he could tell that he was not in high spirits.
"Prince, King Langya stays." After saying that, he looked at Shi.
Shi understood and led Shan Yinan and Zhuge Wenbiao to wait outside.
After walking a few steps, Shi gently took Zhuge Wenbiao's hand.
She really likes this daughter-in-law.
She is tall and well-proportioned, a head taller than the average lady. She is worthy of Qingxu's appearance.
She is both beautiful and literary, but her temper is a little cold, but her son is not bad either. He will surely get better slowly and have a deep friendship. It will be even more perfect if I give birth to a prince in the future.
On the other hand, the Crown Princess only had one daughter after being married for so many years.
The prince had another concubine, but he was born to a concubine. This was a shortcoming that could not be ignored.
As he was thinking about it, he felt a force coming from his hand. It turned out that Zhuge Wenbiao wanted to break free.
Shi glanced at her daughter-in-law angrily and let go. There are already voices coming from inside——
"The end of the war is not Shan Yanlin's fault alone." Sima Rui said: "I lay down all afternoon and thought about it all afternoon. For the current plan, there are only four words, 'tolerance for the sake of the country'!"
Sima Pei and Sima Chong looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
Isn't this what Shao Thief is talking about?
Tolerance for the sake of the country, keeping barbarians and Xia in peace, and advancing with the times can be described as the basic national policies of the Puppet Liang Dynasty. Among them, "tolerance for the sake of the country" has been called for the longest time.
"When we crossed the river, I had a hundred and six people, most of whom were northern scholars. After the ZTE, the northerners and Wu people each accounted for half." Sima Rui continued: "I selected attributes for the East Palace and Langya Palace. Officer, there are many Wu people. If you two want to keep a corner of Jiangdong, you must be patient with the Wu people."
It is true that the officials in the court were divided equally between Northerners and Wu people, but that was just the number of people. There was still a distinction between the two. Northerners often held high positions, while Wu people were mostly lower officials. This was the difference.
Furthermore, the status of a family can be seen firstly by family status and secondly by marriage. Many clues can be seen from the marriage situation of the prince and prince.
The status of the Wu people has improved, but they are still unable to compete with the Nandu scholars.
"Since the beginning of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the wealthy families in Jiangdong have wanted to separate themselves from a corner. In the past, if Chen Min in Lujiang was not so shameless and his popularity was too low, he might have established himself in Jianye. It is not easy for my family to get this country. I am in the middle to reconcile it. , all kinds of sufferings are difficult to express to others, only Shi Guifei can talk about it. "Sima Rui's eyes were extremely complicated when he said this.
There was happiness, worry, and anger. When he looked at his son, there was even a bit of hope.

As a master, it is not easy for him!
Since the shogunate era, he has been inherently deficient, and most affairs of all sizes have been handled by Director Wang. After all, when the Wang family fell in love with him, was it because of his "humility and retreat"?
But who is a seven-foot man without a temper? As time goes by, the dissatisfaction accumulated in his heart almost makes him go crazy and even explode at all costs.
But he can't do that.
Although Director Wang was good at power and most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty came from his sect, he did a good job on the surface after all.
And he could see that Director Wang had no ambition to replace Sima.
In fact, Wang Maohong was not having a good time.
Is it easy to sew and mend and barely hold half of the country together?
In order to please the Wu people, I even took the initiative to learn Wu dialect, and then spoke a bad Jiangdong dialect and was laughed at. Is it easy?
Is it easy to arrange multiple marriages, mediate the conflicts between Nandu scholars, and argue with Jiangdong's wealthy families on their behalf?
Sima Rui, who recommended him to others, felt that Director Wang must also be angry.
Therefore, he should not get angry at Director Wang, but should continue to play the role of "humility and retreat".
Tolerance serves the country, this sentence shouted by Shao Thief twenty years ago becomes more and more interesting the more I think about it.
"After the Battle of Huainan, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the King's Division of the Jin Dynasty still lacks some strength." Sima Rui added: "It needs to be remedied now. If it is not remedied, it will be unreasonable."
Sima Pei and Sima Chong listened in rapt attention.
"The first is 'Anti-People', the second is 'Enriching the Country', and the third is 'Strengthening the Army'. The three are actually one." Sima Rui said.
"Now we have established three counties of Weishi, Ting and Ye in Tangyi County, Jiangbei, with more than 10,000 households settled."
"Danyang County has Langya Kingdom and Linyi County, with more than 1,500 households. Shan Yanlin sent the Huainan people and ancestral tribesmen to Wuhu, and then resettled them on the spot, found out their origins, and established a county in Wuhu. County.”
"There are more than 20,000 households of Qingxu people in Jingkou. They were all officials and people who followed me when I crossed to the south. How many households there are now must be found out."
"This generation is not a refugee from Yansi and Hebei provinces in Henan Province. They are the pillars of my family. We must not ignore them. We can build a city at Jingkou and set up a county in Xuzhou."
"There are no less than 20,000 households in Jianye, and the overseas Chinese can also establish counties and counties as appropriate."
"There are many refugees. Those who crossed early already have descendants, and they are multiplying endlessly. After we organize the households and bring together the people, we can provide food and supplies for the court. I don't have to sacrifice my dignity every time and ask for help from the Wu people."
< br>
"The task of forming an army of refugees has been done for a long time. Whether it can fight is quite doubtful. From now on, we must practice carefully to make up for the shortcomings."
"The wealthy tribes in Jiangdong can still defend themselves, but it is extremely difficult to make progress. If you want to fight for the Northern Expedition and return to the old capital in the future, you will have to rely on the imperial troops and horses. Remember."
After saying this, which seemed to be an announcement of his funeral, Sima Rui stopped and breathed slightly.
Sima Pei and Sima Chong stood there steadily, digesting these words.
The three ladies of the outer hall, Shi, Shan and Zhuge, all had their own thoughts after hearing this.
Shi was a little frightened.
It's just a defeat in Huainan, is it so serious?
She glanced at Shanshi quietly. Shan Yinan's expression also changed, but he was still calm, and his expression was even more determined, as if he was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to assist the prince to turn the tide.
Zhuge Wenbiao sighed secretly.
Although she has many dissatisfactions, if that day comes, how can her fair body be humiliated by the enemy? It's just a matter of death.
Sima Rui rested for a moment, and then his voice came up again: "The East Palace has many shortcomings, and I have wronged my son. Chongzheng Hall and the East and West Halls have been built next to Yundu on the southwest side of Taicheng. It can be used as the East Palace. It will be moved there in a few days. .”
"Daorang, there are only a thousand households in the Langya Kingdom, and I have wronged you. Now I have fifty-two thousand households in the two counties of Kuaiji and Xuancheng as your enfeoffment. But you don't want the country anymore, so stay in Jianye. Local military and political affairs, I have the history of the two counties to take care of it for you.”
"There are two key places in the east and west of Jianye. From Jianye to the east to Jingkou, the river surface is wide and the wind is high and the waves are strong. On the south bank, there are stretches of rocks and high hills approaching the shore, just like the Great Wall, which is not easy to climb. Going down from Jingkou, the river surface is wider , the wind and waves are too strong, there are peaks along the coast, rivers, mud and sand, or islands. Zhu and Zhu are arranged in staggered lines, all of which are shallow, short, and difficult to navigate, so the only critical point is the Jingkou area. After that, there is the old river of Qin and Han Dynasties. The Eastern Wu Dynasty opened Gangdu, crossed the river to Guangling, and went straight to Zhongdu River (Hangou River). ), it is an important town in Jingdong, and non-clan relatives or important officials are not allowed to leave the town.”
"There is Liyang in the west of Beijing. The east and west Erliang Mountains stand between the rivers, overlooking the torrent. The river here is narrow, and there are Niuzhu Mountain and Caishiji deep into the river, which is conducive to the invasion. If the thieves come from Shouchun and Hefei , must cross the river here. In the past, Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao and captured all six counties in the east of the Yangtze River. Liyang was more important than Jingkou, and it was also controlled by the clan and relatives. "
"Shan Yanlin has lost his master and lost his land! Let him stay in Wuhu. After taking care of the refugees, he can be moved to Liyang and become my supervisor. I will discuss this matter with the Prime Minister."
"And Guangling..."
Sima Rui rambled on and on and on.
Obviously, after experiencing what happened during the day, he felt a sense of crisis.
No one knows his body better than he does.
