The lanterns are starting to go on, but the night is still getting dark.
Today, Yuan Li married a new concubine, and Sima Dekan went to congratulate her. When Daoxu drank the wine at noon, it was getting late, so he returned.
Sima Dekan twisted his thick neck and fell asleep.
At this time, a servant reported that someone came to see him with a name card. Sima Dekan was already half drunk and half awake at this time. He had no time to meet the guests, so he wanted to refuse.
Picking up the other party¡¯s name card and taking a closer look, I was shocked.
Because the name post reads "Li Boyi, Prince of Tang Dynasty". He didn't know much about Li Boyi, but the only one in the world who was called the King of Tang was Li Yuan, who rebelled in Taiyuan and entered Guanzhong.
Sima Dekan changed his mind several times, and finally decided to meet him.
The servant brought up a young man.
Sima Dekan actually met Li Boyi, but it was several years ago. At that time, Li Boyi had just grown up and was not noticeable. He seemed not to be much different from now.
The other party held a greeting card from the Tang Prince's Mansion. The greeting card was stamped with Li Yuan's seal. It didn't look like it was fake.
"Li Langjun, you are so brave. The Li family is plotting rebellion, but you dare to come to Jiangdu, and you are not afraid that I will take you down and hand you over to the emperor. The emperor hates your Li family to the core, and you will not end up well when the time comes."
Li Boyi laughed "haha" and said: "General Sima, it is better not to scare me. I am too timid to withstand being scared. If General Sima really wants to capture me, he will meet me and just let me be captured."
Sima Dekan was upset by the other party and did not argue with him. Instead, he asked: "Li Boyi, if you don't stay well in Guanzhong, why are you here?"
Li Boyi smiled and said: "This is how General Sima treats guests. I have been waiting for the general all afternoon, but he is very thirsty."
Sima Dekan didn¡¯t care about the other party¡¯s arrogance, so he asked someone to serve tea to Li Boyi.
"Li Boyi, just tell me if you have any questions. You didn't come to my place to drink tea specially."
Li Boyi smiled softly, picked up the cup and took a sip, which made Sima Dekan frown. Is this guy here to entertain me?
Li Boyi knew that Sima Dekan was about to get angry, so he said: "I have nothing to do in Guanzhong, so I asked my uncle for a job to be responsible for the intelligence work of the entire Jianghuai. Seeing the turmoil in the Forbidden Army, I wanted to come and do a business with the general."
"What business?" Sijia 7 5z w.com Si
Li Boyi said calmly: "How about using the emperor's head in exchange for the wealth of your Sima family?"
Sima Dekan took a breath after hearing this.
"You are so brave. You are talking nonsense in broad daylight. Do you really think I dare not hand you over to the emperor?"
Sima Dekan looked furious and stared at Li Boyi, as if Li Boyi's answer dissatisfied him and he wanted to execute him immediately.
Li Boyi looked indifferent.
"General Sima is so loyal, which is really admirable. But you can't protect yourself, so what's the use of disposing of me? What's more, General Sima has no relatives in Guanzhong? Although the Sima family is not a big family in Guanzhong, there are dozens of them. Do you think General Sima doesn¡¯t care about our people?"
Sima Dekan was speechless for a while. With the entire family as hostage, he really didn't dare. Although the relationship within the Guanlong family is complicated and they will not kill a whole family, the Sima family is a small family after all, and no one will care about it if it dies.
Sima Dekan could only touch his neck in embarrassment, and deliberately changed the subject: "You said I can't protect myself, why is that?"
Li Boyi knew that his words had moved Sima Dekan, so he continued: "General Sima is still complacent about succeeding Yu Wen in Chengdu and taking charge of the Imperial Army, right?"
After Jin Zhao, Cheng Ying and others killed Xie Sheng, they started a rebellion with the intention of fighting all the way back to Guanzhong. However, this rebellion was a temporary organization and the people were not strong enough, so it was quickly put down by the main force of the Sui army.
Most of the people who rebelled belonged to Yuwen Chengdu's Ministry, so Yang Guang was furious and deprived Yuwen Chengdu of the power of the imperial guard, dismissed him from his post and investigated, and handed over the power of Yuwen Chengdu's imperial guard to Sima Dekan.
Sima Dekan therefore led his troops to the inner city of Jiangdu, which was equivalent to the chief general of the inner city.
Sima Dekan was still happy for a while. Everyone was born as a general of the Emperor. Seeing that Yuwen Chengdu and others had been made generals, he was just a tiger general, and he had already become very jealous. If he works harder this time and makes the emperor happy, he will surely be not far away from the position of general. 牺如 zongyiwx.com 牺如
Therefore, he was quite puzzled by Li Boyi's words.
Li Boyi smiled and said: "General Sima should know why Yu Wen Chengdu was deposed by the emperor, and it was not because of the internal strife and escape of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army. General Dian is in charge of the Forbidden Army, and seems to have unlimited glory, but can the general solve the problem of the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army? If not, when something happens to the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army again, the general will be the one to deal with it."
Sima Dekan was stunned for a moment.
Li Boyi continued: "Even if General Sima is lucky enough to escape this, what will the general do if the emperor moves the capital to Danyang?"
"What do you mean?"
Sima Dekan was at a loss.
"Dian is in charge of the imperial army and has great power and responsibility. Yu Shiji and others tried every means to get the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, not just because they wanted the emperor to be their plaything. With such an important responsibility as being in charge of the imperial army, Dian shouldn't change his confidants."
"this¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"
"The general would say, defect to Yu Shiji. But Yu Shiji is from the south. Shen Guang, Mai Mengcai and others are all from the south, and they are also generals. What use does he need as a general?"
According to what Li Boyi said, Sima Degan had already sobered up from drinking, and the sweat on his head was constantly flowing down. Think carefully about Li Boyi's words, and the more you think about it, the more you think it is so.
After a while, Sima Dekan said with trembling lips: "What good does it do me to help the King of Tang get rid of the Emperor?"
Li Boyi knew that Sima Dekan was moved, so he said: "General Sima will get rid of the emperor, and he will have everything you need."
As he said that, he took out an imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Sima Dekan.
"The Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions, General You Yiwei, Duke of Shu, live in an area of ??5,000 households. General Sima is satisfied with such a price. This is the imperial edict of Emperor Yining, General Sima must read it carefully."
Sima Dekan took it and stared at the content of the edict, and then put it away after a while.
"Although I am in charge of the imperial army, I only have ten thousand people in my hands. What you said is impossible for me to do."
Li Boyi smiled and said: "The general underestimates himself. Now the Xiaoguo Forbidden Army is homesick and in chaos. As long as the general raises his arms, the soldiers of the three armies will not be able to follow the general back home."
Sima Dekan hesitated and hesitated, and finally said: "Let me think about it." Mi He Mi
Li Boyi stood up to leave without urging him. The concerned Sima family was used as hostage, and Sima Dekan did not dare to leave Li Boyi behind.
When he arrived at the door, Li Boyi turned around and said: "General Sima must make a decision early. If he continues to make decisions, he will suffer chaos. On one side, he will die and his family will be destroyed. On the other side, he will live in glory and wealth for several lifetimes. In just one thought, there is a huge difference."
Why should this man struggle with prosperity and wealth? "
