For a week in a row, the four gates of Luoyang City were closed tightly, and a group of ten people from the Iron Buddha Temple in the city patrolled majestically on the streets of Luoyang City.
The outer camp army controlled by Zhao Jun took over the four gates of Luoyang City, and sentry checkpoints were placed at key locations in the streets and alleys.
Notices about King Zhao's rebellion and execution were posted everywhere in Luoyang City.
In addition to the martial law in Luoyang, the operation to arrest Sima Lun's party is still ongoing.
Sima Lun's other two sons in Luoyang City were also arrested and imprisoned.
Except for the Donggong soldiers and the soldiers from the outer camp except Zhao Junbu, they were all ordered to stay in the barracks and undergo further reorganization.
Sima Lun in the army and all the cronies installed by Sun Xiu were also arrested.
On the third day after the East Palace Incident, Sima Yu held his first court meeting after ascending the throne.
After resting for two days and having been toiled all night, the officials regained their spirits and gathered early in front of the Taiji Hall according to the daily court time, hoping to make a good impression on the emperor who had just ascended the throne.
The bells for entering the palace echoed in the palace city, and officials filed into the palace in two groups.
After they entered the palace, they obviously found that the atmosphere of this court meeting was different from the past.
Because there were two rows of armored warriors with swords standing on both sides of the hall, the ministers all knew that these were the black armored iron guards who assisted Sima Yu in the battle that day.
Sima Yu on the throne raised his hand, and Du Ting began to read out the appointment and dismissal edicts one after another.
The first was to remove some of the people newly appointed by Sima Lun from office one by one, and some of them were clearly convicted and imprisoned.
Whenever the edict announced that someone had committed a certain crime, there would be black-armored iron guards on both sides of the hall, dragging the person out of the hall and out of the hall.
As Du Ting read out the edict one by one, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of many people.
Finally, Du Ting began to read out the appointment edict, and His Highness's people breathed a sigh of relief, but the next appointment puzzled them.
Sima Yu reactivated Zhang Hua and Pei Yu, two important ministers from the Empress Jia period, and appointed Zhang Hua as Shizhong and Zhongshu Ling, and appointed Pei Yu as Shizhong and Shangshu Ling.
He also appointed Wang Yan as Shangshu Zuopushe.
As for Jiang Tong, Pan Tao, Wang Dun, Lu Yao and other minor officials who had supported Sima Yun from the beginning, they were all promoted several ranks and placed in important positions.
In the past, most of the staff of the East Palace were appointed to the position of the Imperial Guard.
When the gates of Luoyang City were reopened, the entire Jin Dynasty court had changed.
But these changes were limited to the imperial court and the capital of Luoyang.
In the vast territory of the Jin Dynasty, there were also a large number of vassal states of the Sima clan distributed in all directions.
What was worse than the feudal state was that many vassal kings went out of towns and counties to take over several states and command tens of thousands of troops.
The most representative ones are Sima Yong, the king of Hejian in Guanzhong, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu in Ye, and Sima Lun, the king of Qi who was just recently appointed as the general of Zhendong due to his dethronement, and Sima King of Qi in Xuchang.
Embarrassing.
The total number of troops that these three people can mobilize reaches 400,000, accounting for more than half of the total military strength of the entire Jin Dynasty.
In addition, at this time when people's hearts are in chaos, ordinary county magistrates no longer take the imperial court so seriously, and some governors and governors even have the intention of self-reliance.
Therefore, Sima Yu knew that he must act as soon as possible to turn the tide when Kyushu was about to collapse and avoid the disaster in Yongjia.
Horses carrying the imperial envoys galloped out from the four gates of Luoyang and spread the imperial edict to all directions.
In addition to the news that Sima Lun had committed regicide and usurped the throne, and that Prince Sima Yu had ascended the throne to inherit the throne, there were also edicts summoning local officials or vassal princes to come to Beijing to take office.
But these edicts did not include any edicts asking for guilt.
Sima Yu knew that under the current situation, issuing a criminal edict to local state officials, county governors or feudal princes who also belonged to Sima Lun's party had no other meaning than forcing the other party to rebel.
In fact, this state did not exist until today, or even existed when Sima Yu took advantage of me, Emperor Hui and Sima Zhong, but it was like this in the late period of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan.
After Emperor Hui's wake period expired, it was time for burial.
However, until now, many of the vassal kings who were supposed to come to Luoyang to pay their respects have not come.
Including Sima Yong, the king of Hejian, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Yan, the king of Qi.
But Sima Ying and Sima Yong both made gestures.
Sima Ying cooperated with the envoys sent by Luoyang to remove Sima Lun's feudal kingdom, and sent troops to eradicate Sima Lun's remaining forces in the feudal kingdom, and beheaded Sima Lun's other two sons who were crowned kings.
Sima Yong beheaded several of Sima Lun's remnants who fled to Guanzhong and then sent them to Luoyang.
Sima Juan was the only one who refused to respond to the newly enthroned emperor's imperial edict, treating it as if it existed transparently.
However, even so, Sima Yu had no choice but to deal with him.
This Sima Juan was based in Xuchang and had more than 100,000 soldiers from Henan and Yanzhou.
And now, Liu Hong, who was loyal to Sima Yu, has been demoted to Runan as a county magistrate by Sima Juan.

After Emperor Hui was buried, Sima Yu summoned a Sima clan he was interested in to the palace to discuss in detail.
This person was Sima, King of Changshan.
The reason why Sima Yu was interested in Sima was that although his previous life did not know much about the history of the Western Jin Dynasty, he knew some things about Sima.
That year, Sima was only sixteen years old.
He followed his brother Sima Wei, King of Chu, to launch the first palace coup in the Jin Dynasty, killing his relative Yang Jun.
Then Sima Wei was designed by Empress Jia and was ordered to kill Sima Liang, King of Runan.
The young Sima alone led hundreds of troops to guard the gate of Yeting Palace.
Empress Jia sent people to declare that the edict given by Sima Wei was false, and had Sima Wei killed for killing Sima Liang without permission.
From then on, he took the power into his own hands.
Sima was implicated because he and Sima Wei had the same mother, and was demoted to King Changshan.
In the original history of the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima showed superb bravery and decisiveness and good character.
Under Sima Yong's instigation, Sima Juan took the lead in attacking Sima, but was counterattacked by Sima, who was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Then Sima Yong separated Sima Ying and Sima, and united with the former to attack Luoyang with hundreds of thousands of troops, but they were still unable to break through Sima's guarded Luoyang.
In the end, Sima was plotted by another treacherous man, Sima Yue, and Luoyang was finally captured.
Throughout the Eight Kings Rebellion, only Sima always focused on the overall situation of the Jin Dynasty.
If not for this, he would not have been assassinated and died in the end.
After Sima entered the palace, he kowtowed to Sima Yu as a monarch and minister.
Sima Yu said to the emperor's uncle, who was about the same age as himself: "Imperial uncle, please get down quickly.
There is no need to be polite."
At the same time, he ordered the Huangmen next to him to give Sima a seat.
The two started chatting freely, starting from Sima Wei's death to Empress Jia and Sima Lun, and then talked about the core issue, the shortcomings of the power structure of the Jin Dynasty.
When talking about this topic, Sima talked eloquently, and many of his ideas coincided with Sima Yu's.
The two of them talked late into the night without realizing it
