Chapter 1720 Slow down the proclamation of the emperor
Guo Huai's sudden death not only brought endless grief and regret to the Jin army, but also made him more confused and confused. No one knew where the fate of their great Jin Dynasty was going?
Although Guo Huai's death was very surprising, because Guo Huai had always been in good health and strong before, he suddenly fell ill and died in just a few days, which made countless people sigh.
But after all, Guo Huai is already over 70 years old, and coupled with continuous hard work during this period, he became ill due to overwork, and it was expected that he would not afford to get sick.
But everyone knows that only Guo Huai is the backbone of the remnant Jin. Moving the capital to Guzang and supporting the crown prince, no one else would be able to handle these major events without Guo Huai's arrival. Therefore, Guo Huai's death was undoubtedly the most severe blow to the remnant Jin forces, and even Sima Yan's ascension ceremony was covered with a dark cloud.
Although before Guo Huai died, he had already entrusted the affairs of the orphan minister to Fu Yu, Fu Yu was far from Guo Huai in terms of qualifications and abilities.
Previously, Fu Yu had been in the court and was only assigned to serve as the governor of Liangzhou after he moved the capital to Guanzhong. Therefore, Fu Yu was not very qualified in the local area, and it was difficult to gain the support of his subordinate officials and generals. After all, Guo Huai had more than 30 years of background in Yongliang. Fu Yu came here, but it was only a few months before. It was not easy to convince the public!
What's more, Fu Yu is just the governor of Liangzhou, and may have certain binding force on the officials of Liangzhou, but those officials in Longxi have no affiliation with him. How can everyone obey his will?
Fu Yu didn't expect that Guo Huai would leave at this time and leave such a mess for him to deal with. Due to the situation, although Fu Yu accepted Guo Huai's death sentence, he was a good deal. Fu Yu obviously knew better than anyone else how to deal with the current stall? He really felt powerless and unsatisfied.
After arriving in Guzang, he buried Guo Huai first? During such a war, it was impossible to bury Guo Huai in a grand manner. However, Sima Yan still gave Guo Huai the title of Taifu and the posthumous title of Zhong to express his merits.
After burying Guo Huai, the next step was to prepare for Sima Yan's ascension ceremony, but although this was arranged by Guo Huai during his lifetime? But Fu Yu found that many of the officials and generals were not too enthusiastic about it. Many even came to Guzang and couldn't get out of their illness.
Originally, the situation in Liangzhou is already in danger? If people are distracted now, the so-called court has collapsed before it has been established? Fu Yu was also worried. He is far from Guo Huai's control over the situation, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Back to the governor's mansion? His son Fu Zhi saw his frowning look and asked, "Why is my father worried?"
Fu Zhi is currently a gongcao in Liangzhou. This time Fu Ji went to Yuzhong to welcome the prince. Fu Ji did not go with him, so Fu Ji told him about Guo Huai's entrustment and lamented that this errand was not easy to do.
Fu Zhi said: "Father is confused. You can't do such an errand, and you may be in trouble with the family!"
Fu Yu said in a slight shock: "Why do you say that?"
Fu Zhi said: "Father, you think that the world situation has long collapsed. The name of Jin is not right. The former emperor Long Yubintian, and the country is not a country. Even King Sima Lun of Zhao abandoned the country and surrendered to Shu. But his father wanted to support the crown prince in Liangzhou. Isn't this accusation from the fire and be hated by Wei and Shu? No matter who wins Longxi in the future, Liangzhou will have no barriers. If his father supports the crown prince to ascend the throne here, he will inevitably be attacked by Wei or Shu. With the existing troops in Liangzhou, who can defeat Liangzhou? Therefore, the situation of defeat has long been destined. Whoever supports the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future will be liquidated. My father must think twice about this matter, and he will suffer a lot of bitter hatred after a mistake."
In fact, Fu Zhi's judgment is not without reason. The exiled court in Jin State has been disintegrated. Before, he only relied on Guo Huai's personal ability to maintain it. However, when Guo Huai died, it fell apart and was difficult to recover.
Although Fu Yu's current status is similar to Guo Huai before, his influence on Liangzhou is far different. If Fu Yu forcibly supports Prince Sima Yan to ascend the throne, he will inevitably be hated by Wei and Shu. There is no day and no two rulers in the country, because he wants to fight for who is orthodox. The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu have been constantly warned for many years.
Sima Zhao's usurpation of the throne had already attracted crazy revenge from the Wei State. If Sima Zhao had been more at peace, the defense line in Guanzhong might be able to remain the same. Unfortunately, it was because of Sima Zhao's desperation that the current uncontrollable situation was now.
If Fu Yu helped Prince Sima Yan to the throne of the emperor according to Guo Huai's plan, he would easily become the target of public criticism. Even Fu Yu would become the primary target of revenge in Wei and Shu. Once Liangzhou is lost in the future, the Fu family may suffer a genocide.
Moreover, Fu Zhi also saw that the officials in Liangzhou were not very interested in Sima Yan's ascending the throne. In fact, this means that everyone had no confidence in the forces of the remnant Jin, so Fu Zhi advised Fu Yu to keep a low profile and temporarily let Sima Yan ascend the throne. When the opportunity matures in the future, it will not be too late to ascend the throne again. If there is no chance, then he will be content with Liangzhou. Seeing the fighting between Wei and Shu, it is best if they fight to lose both sides, so there may be a slight chance.
Fu Ji thought about it and thought that Fu Ji's words were more reasonable. If Sima Yan did not proclaim himself emperor, he could tolerate it in Liangzhou. Once Sima Yan became emperor, he would stand at the forefront of the wind and waves. Just like Sima Zhao, if he did not proclaim himself emperor, he might be able to live a safe and stable life for a few more years. Once he proclaimed himself emperor, he would appear to be in a glorious place on the surface, but he quickly embarked on the road of no return. Therefore, Sima Yan should have built walls like Liu Bang of that year, accumulate grain, slowly proclaimed himself emperor, lie in firewood and taste gall, so as to make a comeback in the future.
Finally, Fu Yu collaborated with dozens of officials to report to Sima Yan, requesting that he be suspended from his reputation and wait for the opportunity.
In fact, Sima Yan was very concerned about the fact that he was called emperor, and he had a fanatical mood in his bones. He originally thought that after he arrived in Guzang, he would be infinitely close to the throne, but the result of waiting for him was that he would postpone his ascension to the throne, and Sima Yan would inevitably feel a little disappointed.
But now Sima Yan has few troops and his strength has been greatly reduced. Even if he wants to do something big, Fu Yu and others' different ideas have ruined his final plan, and Sima Yan has to lower his head.
