The Travelers of the Heavens
Chapter 23
In April 317 AD, most of the Hu warlord forces that had been raging north of the Yangtze River in Rooster Land for a long time had been wiped out. Only Liu Yao's Xiongnu Zhao State was still strong. They were entrenched in Chang'an, Bingzhou and Liangzhou in Guanzhong.
In early May, Wang Yu sent troops to Jizhou and cleared the northern part of Jizhou in only half a month. At this point, Jizhou surrendered to the Luoyang court.
In June, Wang Yu led his army back to Luoyang to prepare for Sima Yan's restoration ceremony and enthronement ceremony.
To be fair, this Sima Yan was mediocre in talent and not a direct descendant of the royal family. If Wang Yu had not used military power to suppress many Western Jin nobles, I am afraid that Sima Yan would never have been able to sit on the throne of the emperor.
At the enthronement ceremony, Sima Yan was very proud. The unreachable throne finally fell to him. As long as Guanzhong was recaptured, all the areas north of the Yangtze River would belong to the Jin Dynasty under his rule, and a confrontation between the north and the south was about to take shape.
After the ceremony, Wang Yu hoped to jointly send troops to defeat Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Emperor Sima Yan strongly agreed with Wang Yu's suggestion. After all, the Jin army after the restoration of the country also needed to take some credit to deter Sima Rui's Eastern Jin Dynasty south of the Yangtze River.
In August of the first year of Fuxing (AD 317, this was the name given to him by Sima Yan), the Zhou and Jin coalition forces went out to fight. In September, they broke through Hangu and attacked Chang'an.
When Emperor Liu Yao of the Xiongnu Zhao Kingdom saw the approaching coalition forces, instead of actively fighting, he led his troops to flee to Bingzhou, and Chang'an was defeated without a fight.
In October, the coalition forces invaded Bingzhou and captured and killed the entire Liu Yao and Shi Le clan. Almost at the same time, Sima Yan sent an edict to massacre all the Xiongnu and Jie clans in order to satisfy his hatred. This dirty work was done by the Jin Dynasty army, while Wang Yu's army only watched from the sidelines.
The Xiongnu and Jie tribes were massacred, and the other Xianbei, Qiang, and Di tribes did not dare to make a mistake, so they had to submit a surrender form to Luoyang and beg for mercy.
Sima Yan received a surrender letter and allowed them to surrender, but they must be disarmed and the heirs of the leaders of several tribes must be sent to Luoyang to serve as hostages.
In the third year of the revival of the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 319), since the"Eight Kings Rebellion" and the"Yongjia Rebellion", the troubled north was finally settled. When Wang Yu left, he also brought a lot of gold mines, silver mines, oil, etc. Important resources returned to the Great Zhou Empire.
Extracting these resources is part of Wang Yu's plan to eliminate the Rooster Land. This land will eventually lead to the abyss of suffering. Why not let me, Wang, get some benefits first?
After returning to the Zhou Empire, Wang Yu sent Sima Yan's son back to the Jin Dynasty. At this point, the Western Jin Dynasty had completed its restoration, but how long it could survive was something Wang should be concerned about.
Just after the first month of the 19th year of Taiping in the Zhou Empire (AD 369), Da Siming felt something was wrong with his abdomen. Later, he checked and found that he was pregnant.
After learning that she was pregnant, Da Siming was so excited that she almost cried, hoping for the stars and the moon to finally have her child.
In August of the same year, Da Siming gave birth to a son for Wang Yu at the Siming Temple of Taishi Mansion, named Wang Qi, with the courtesy name Zhongheng.
Da Siming, who had exhausted all her strength, looked at the swaddled baby beside her, and she was very happy.
Wang Ying looked at his brother, who was nearly 600 years younger than himself, with very complicated emotions.
Concubine Yan, Wei Zhuang and others congratulated Wang Yu on having another son.
But this son was very mediocre. After Wang Qi awakened his power at the age of eighteen, except for a good skin, immortality and a few other minor magics, he did not inherit any other advantages from his parents. Instead, he was arrogant and extravagant, and tortured girls and young female slaves. Happy, for a moment the Taishi Mansion was in a state of panic because of what he had done to him.
From the lowest female slave to the head of all the slaves in charge, there was no one that Wang Qi dared not to tease or even rape. So much so that the head of the slave ran to the Moon God and cried, begging the Grand Master to take care of this second son.
The Moon God had no choice but to appease the leader first, and then find Wang Qi to scold him. After all, Wang Qi was the son of Da Siming, and the Moon God could not be too lenient.
However, Wang Qi not only did not want to repent, but was even more daring and even took advantage of the two sisters-in-law. Naturally, he was caught by Concubine Yan, beaten half to death, and thrown in front of Da Siming, who asked her how she disciplined her son.
Da Siming is usually very busy and neglects to discipline Wang Qi, and his father Wang Yu is also a guy who does not do his job properly, so Wang Qi grew up in this environment and became like this.
His son was careless and got into trouble every day, leaving Da Siming speechless when facing Concubine Yan's questioning. He could only apologize and promise to strictly discipline him in the future.
However, Xue Nu, who was repeatedly harassed, also spoke ill of her brother-in-law to her husband behind his back. Wang Ying usually took good care of his brother who was several hundred years older than him, but after hearing Xue Nu's complaint, he stopped helping his brother this time.
"Okay, okay, this child is still young and you have dealt such a heavy hand. If he is beaten to death, how will you explain it?" Yue Shen and Yan Fei said.
"Moon God, don't tell me this. Even in front of Wang Chengfeng, I still dare to kill this little thief. It's so outrageous. He is so bold." Concubine Yan said sternly
"Treason! Come back with me quickly!"Da Siming said, and asked several maids to help Wang Qi and leave.
"Mother, the second brother has been doing nothing all day long and has caused so many troubles. I thought it would be better to give him an insignificant job so that he can calm down." Wang Ying watched his second mother take his brother away, and then said to the moon god.
"I will discuss this matter with your father when he comes back." After hearing this, Yueshen nodded.
""Yes." Wang Ying responded.
On the other side, Da Siming and his son returned to the dormitory.
"It’s okay for you to do evil things, but why are you still thinking about your two sisters-in-law? If your father finds out about this, you will be blessed," Da Siming warned his son.
"I am the son of my father, how can he kill me for two women?" Wang Qi didn't care.
"Even if your father won't kill you, Concubine Yan may not be able to kill you. She will do anything to protect her daughter. Now she beats you like this to give you a warning." Da Siming pointed The son said with wounds all over his body
"That woman has a bad temper, and I didn’t do anything, so she beat me up like this. Mother, you have to make the decision for your son." Wang Qi complained about Concubine Yan and pretended to be pitiful.
"you.. Why"Da Siming could only sigh. How could something like this come out after hundreds of years of waiting?
"alright! You'd better think carefully about how to explain this matter to your father." Then Da Siming scolded him again.
In the forbidden garden, a group of people were galloping to catch up with the prey in front. It turned out that Wang Yu was hunting here with Emperor Zhou.
It is now the eighth year of the Central Yuan Dynasty (387 AD) in the Great Zhou Empire. The thirty-year-old Emperor Zhou Ji Kai is in the prime of life and is the time to indulge in pleasure.
"Hahaha, I hit it." Ji Kai shot an arrow in the neck of a deer. He was very happy.
"Your Majesty is good at archery." Wang Yu also praised him.
"King Xining, is the Grand Master's illness getting better?" Ji Kai asked.
A month ago, the Moon God said he was sick and gave himself a holiday.
"It has improved, but it is inevitable that you will have some diseases as you get older," Wang Yu said
"This is very good, and I also hope that Grand Master will recover soon," Ji Kai said
"Thank you, your majesty. I will convey your majesty's kindness to the grand master." Wang Yu responded with clasped fists.
Soon the imperial guards carried the deer that was shot to death, and Ji Kai ordered it to be sent to the Forbidden Garden Palace for food.
Passing by After hundreds of years of operation, the palace of Forbidden Garden has been renovated several times. Now it has become a small palace complex with beautiful scenery and luxurious decoration.
"Your Majesty, the sky is cloudy and it seems to be raining. How about I escort you back to the palace to rest?" Wang Yu looked at the sky and said
"Okay, there is just one more thing. I hope King Xining can inform the Grand Master," Ji Kai said.
"It's about re-electing the queen, I remember
," Wang Yu said. Hearing this, Ji Kai nodded.
His first wife died in childbirth two years ago, and the child was not saved.
After the funeral, someone suggested To choose a queen, Ji Kai refused on the grounds that the queen had just passed away and it was not appropriate to hastily appoint a new queen. At that time, Yueshen and Wang Yu did not force it.
Now two years have passed, Ji Kai may have got over the shadow of his wife's death, and actually took the initiative After proposing a new appointment, he issued an edict to the ministers to identify candidates.
