After hearing Liu Wei's words, Zuo Changshi Diao Xie nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, Wang Dun is now entrenched in Jingzhou and his brother occupying Jiangzhou, which are all dangerous places. If he agrees to those memorials, Wang Dun's power will probably be even greater."

"At that time, there would be Wang Dun outside and Wang Dao inside. The scholars and people inside and outside were afraid that they would know that there was Wang, but they didn't know that there was His Highness."

Diao Xie said earnestly.

"Zhongfu Zhongjin, he can't do that kind of thing." King Sima Rui of Jin said weakly.

He was naturally very alert to Wang Dun, but he trusted his clan's brother Wang Dao very much. Even though Wang Dao was equally powerful, he was always very loyal and respectful to Sima Rui.

"Although Director Wang would not have any strange ambitions, Wang Dun had to be careful. Now Luoyang has been abandoned. Although it was given by Xun Song, Du Zeng and others, Wang Dun, as the main general, has to bear the responsibility."

Liu Wei, the army officer, then said, "So, for Wang Dun, it is just not rewarding or punishing. How can he really reward him with the merit of regaining Luoyang?"

In the end, King Sima Rui of Jin agreed with the two that he would reward Jingzhou Governor Wang Dun for defeating the barbarians and pacifying the people's chaos, and would never publicize him the previous contributions to the regaining Luoyang.

By noon, Liu Wei and Diao Xie had just left, King Sima Rui of Jin stretched and thought about going back to the back house for dinner.

At this time, the nearby servant outside the door suddenly came to report that it was Wang Dao Zhong who asked for a visit.

"Please!" Sima Rui said without hesitation.

As soon as he met Director Wang, Sima Rui knew that something big had happened.

Because the expression on Director Wang’s face was extremely serious, the calmness that was common in daily life was nowhere to be seen.

"Father Zhong, is there something urgent?" Sima Rui asked immediately.

Wang Dao first saluted, then said in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the secret report I just received, the King of Nanyang has become emperor in Fufeng!"

King Sima Rui of Jin's face turned pale on the spot, which was beyond his expectations.

"Father Zhong, is this matter absolutely true?"

After Sima Rui called himself "King of Jin", he immediately sent a lot of news to the prefectures and counties in the world to achieve the advantage of taking the lead.

As long as you get this special title of "King of Jin", it will be natural to become emperor later.

"It's absolutely true, Your Highness!"

Director Wang nodded fiercely and said.

Not long ago, Sima Ye, the emperor in Chang'an, surrendered to the Huns. Although he was a prisoner, he was not killed after all.

He was a serious descendant of Emperor Wu of Jin. Although he was a prisoner, Sima Rui and Sima Bao, a clan who had five slaughtered, had to wait patiently for the opportunity even if he was anxious.

Sima Rui felt that he had acted quickly enough by calling himself "King of Jin" without any scruples before, and then he also heard some rumors that Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, also deliberately called himself "King of Jin".

I really didn't expect that I would underestimate the integrity of Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang.

The serious emperor Sima Ye is still living well in the capital of Pingyang of the Huns. Why do you dare to be shameless and call yourself emperor?

How dare you be the emperor?

Are you worthy of being emperor?

Sima Rui thought about it and did not understand where Sima Bao came.

"Father Zhong, has the emperor been harmed by the barbarians?"

Sima Rui suddenly thought of this question.

Qinzhou where Sima Bao, the King of Nanyang, was located, was very close to the Huns, so the news was naturally the first to get.

"Your Highness, I haven't heard such rumors yet. I think I should have not been harmed."

Director Wang said.

"Shu Zi, so arrogant, very hateful!"

After learning that the second "captive" emperor Sima Ye was mostly alive, people with a good temper like Sima Rui were angry.

I have seen someone shameless, but I have never seen Sima Bao so shameless.

As a gentleman, how could Sima Rui not get angry when he was in the glory of the Jin Dynasty?

"Father Zhong, how do you deal with it now?"

Even if you are angry, the most important thing now is to think about how to deal with Sima Bao’s proclaimed emperor.

Originally, his title of "King of Jin" was already very noble, but compared with the title of the 800-year-old emperor, it was simply not worth mentioning.

Once Sima Bao's reputation as emperor is recognized by people, he will be very passive.

"Your Highness, don't panic, I have already thought of a countermeasure."

Director Wang first comforted Sima Rui.

Although this incident happened somewhat unexpectedly, the response method was not difficult for Director Wang.

"Father Zhong, tell me!" Sima Rui leaned forward and sat a little.

"Your Highness, the fact that Sima Bao claimed to be respectful has not spread yet, so it is not difficult to deal with it!"

The King of Nanyang Sima Bao was located between Qinzhou and Jiangdong, and the Han Kingdom of the Xiongnu and Cheng Kingdom of Ba Di. In addition to the special channels of the king and the director, it would take a long time for these news to come.

"What's the clever plan for Zhongfu?"

"Your Highness, the most prestigious, capable and qualified person in the royal family is your highness! Since Sima Bao has already gained the title of honor, Your Highness should not be too humble!"

"Ah? Humility? Does Zhongfu mean?"

After hearing this, Sima Rui immediately understood what Director Wang meant.

"Yes, since I have abandoned the country in Chang'an today, Your Highness should put the country and the country first! It is better to be the Supreme Name early!"

Sima Rui already understood that since Director Wang said this method when he came to see him, he would definitely be able to handle public opinion for him.

After all, without the support of Director Wang, let alone the wealthy families of Wu from Jiangdong, even the northern gentry might not have taken them seriously.

When he thought of this, although Sima Rui was already very excited and excited, his rationality and legal concepts still made him feel a little worried.

"Zhongfu, if my son is covered with dust today, Sima Bao has become a great deal. If he is lonely, wouldn't he be the same?" Sima Rui said.

When Director Wang heard this, he immediately shook his head.

"Your Highness, don't mention Sima Bao's affairs from now on. Neither you nor I know about it, nor have you heard of it!"

Sima Rui nodded silently when he heard this.

"When the emperor surrendered from Chang'an, he had already given up the ancestral temple and the country. Naturally, the weight of this country should be carried by His Highness!"

"But the emperor is living well after all." Sima Rui said in a low voice.

In fact, Sima Rui thought that if he could really be like those immortals among the strange ambitions of gods and immortals, he would be the first person he wanted to fly a sword to win the head, Sima Ye.

"The Hulu is cruel and cunning. Since Emperor Huai has been killed, the story may have been repeated at this time, but we just don't know." Director Wang said with a sad face.

When Sima Rui heard this, his heart suddenly became bright.

Yes, the Huns were thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. How could the people in Jiangdong know soon?

The previous news of the murder of the emperor Sima Chi was spread to Jiangdong three months after his death.

If this emperor is killed by the Huns, he may not receive the news at least three months later.

"No, not bad, what Zhongfu said makes sense." Sima Rui couldn't wait.

"Actually, this matter is not without precedent, and Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much!" Director Wang comforted again.

"Previous? When did Zhongfu refer to?"

Sima Rui was a little confused.

Since Emperor Ji Zhou, it is really rare that the emperor was captured or killed by the enemy.

It is a great honor that the Jin Dynasty has only been founded for decades, and two captive emperors have emerged, which is definitely the best in history.

If it weren't for the highlights of the three Zhao Song and his son in later generations, these shameful lights of the rebellion between the two Jin Dynasties might have been called "There is no one to come later."

"When Liu Bei of Shu was in Yizhou, wasn't he just as affectionate as he did at this time?" Wang Dao said immediately.

"So that's it." Sima Rui naturally knew about this.

After Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate, Liu Bei from Yizhou became emperor after hearing the rumors that Emperor Xian was killed.

However, even after the news that Emperor Xian of Han did not die later reached Yizhou, no one accused Liu Bei of the rationality of becoming emperor.

After all, if the emperor abdicates, he will automatically lose his legitimacy.

The original name of the Han Dynasty was created by Emperor Taizu Gao. Since Liu Xie could not guard the name of the Han Dynasty, there was nothing unreasonable for Taizu's other descendants to take over it.

What's more, under the current circumstances, if Sima Rui becomes emperor, he will have higher legitimacy than Liu Bei.

The levels of captive and abdication are different after all.

"Okay, then follow what Zhongfu said!"

Sima Rui thought again that this time, he must speed up. If the Jiangdong people learned about Sima Baoxian's proclaiming emperor, although he would not stop his act of proclaiming himself emperor, in that case, he would make a statement.

"Your Highness, I heard that when Sima Bao was elected emperor, he received support from Suo Jin, Zhang Gui and others. Now that your Highness wants to be promoted, he naturally has to have ministers come forward to persuade him to advance!"
