Chapter 268: The Pain of Losing a Child
Although Sima Yizhi went to Fu Xuan's birthday banquet in the spirit of his own fun, he tried his best to keep a low profile, and even wore civilian clothes, but the news spread quickly, and it was another thing to Sima Xi's people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When the news reached the Sun Mansion who was mourning the white satin, it hurt even more like a blade in his ears. Sun Li died, if he died on the battlefield, he could justifiably handle the funeral, it would be a completely different treatment, but now he is beheaded for crime, although Sun Yuan is his father, but he has to bear the name of the father of the guilty minister with his tail between his legs, and he doesn't even dare to make a big fanfare to mourn, everything is simple, not to mention that Sun Yuan will be an official in the court in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to start feng shui.
Before Sun Yuan's matter could be properly handled, news came from the Sun Mansion that Sun Li's wife had hanged herself when she heard the sad news. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for husbands to fall in distress and wives to be martyred, but when Sun Yuan heard the news, his legs were still weak, and he saw the young people under his knees beside him, the living people passed away one by one, and he did evil again, he was still his son, Sun Yuan was already at the age of weather-stained sideburns, what about his family and country, the taste of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person was more painful for him than losing the city on the horizon.
What made him hate even more was Sima Xi's ignorance of this matter.
Thinking back then, when he was loyal to Sima Xi and argued with Wang Xie in the court, when did he not do his best to seek benefits for Sima Xi's faction?
Sun Li felt that it was very worthless when he thought about it, and the deviation was not as simple as a few interests, but related to the lives of his heirs. In the past, I helped you to punish the Quartet, but today I am in trouble, but you don't even have a word of comfort, and you are anxious to clear up the relationship in order to protect your life, Sun Yuan thought that his heart was suddenly like being hit by ice and snow, and it was cold to the bone, and people in the officialdom tried their best to seek fame and profit, but if any courtier's heart was cold, no matter how much interest could not be recovered.
After Sun Yuan was in a trance, when he came back to his senses, his carriage had already driven long to the gate of the Nanling Palace. Si Ren has passed away, but the resentment lasts forever, and he wants Sima Xi to say something.
"Lord Sun. Cheng Ji seemed to know that Sun Yuan was coming, and the usual smile was now showing a timely and gloomy color, making people unable to figure it out, "Lord Sun, please come here, the prince is in the study." ā
"Steward Cheng came to greet him personally, but Sun Mou was flattered!" Sun Yuan snorted twice, "I was worried that I would make trouble at the gate of this Nanling Royal Mansion and make him look colorless, so he hurriedly called Steward Cheng to summon me in, right?"
"What did Master Sun say, it really annoyed the old servant. Lord Sun's pain of losing his son is sympathetic and regretful, and the old servant is here to wait for Lord Sun to go to the study to explain. Lord Sun, please. ā
Sun Yuan was naturally familiar with the polite words in this officialdom, and he didn't want to go into more detail with this servant person, so he went to Sima Xi's study. Cheng Ji followed closely, without words all the way, he knew that any words were superfluous at this moment, he only needed to convey the words that should be conveyed, and the rest, if he said it, he would have the public opinion of human feelings, he knew his identity best, and doing things next to Sima Xi was like being accompanied by a tiger and lion, especially at this juncture of entanglement, he needed to uphold neutrality.
When they were young, the two of them walked to the outside of the palatial study hall. Cheng Ji said: "Master Sun, the old servant is waiting outside, if you have any orders, call me in the house." ā
"How dare I make a steward, right now my father of a criminal minister is afraid that in the eyes of the prince, I am afraid that I will not even be as good as a steward. ā
Cheng Ji heard that, but his attitude was very good, and he bowed again and again and said: "A criminal minister is a criminal minister, an adult is an adult, irrelevant, presumably the heart of such a wise person as the prince is like a mirror." The old servant is very considerate of the pain of losing a child, but the old servant has always done his duty, so please don't say these words that make the old servant miserable. ā
Sun Yuan snorted and pushed the door into the study. The bright vermilion gate had only been renovated a few days ago, and the slightly peeling mottled paint stains that Sun Yuan was used to seeing before were nowhere to be found. The renovation of the prince's mansion is a common thing, but at the cusp of the current storm, Sun Yuan inevitably has more associations in his heart, his white silk hair hangs high, this hair is whitewashed with Zhu Cai, and he hates to fight in his heart, and the anger in his eyes is hotter than the bright lights in the study.
"Lord Sima, today I want an explanation!" Sun Yuan said in a loud voice, the voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hall for a long time.
Sima Xi only sat under the remodeled golden carved screen on the upper seat, his eyes were sharp and the corners of his lips were slightly smiling: "Why, now that I see this king, I don't even say hello and shout?"
"But it's really crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Sun Yuan said, "Ago, I was asked to try my best to seek an opportunity to go to the north for my son Sun Li in front of His Majesty, but I never thought that I would never come back again, so I was asked to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person!"
"Sun Li collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and he deserved it. The law is over there, and even the prince is not in vain, let alone such a sinful minister. In terms of human feelings, this king is quite sympathetic to your experience, old age and loss of children, pain in pain, but he is to blame, this king is also very sorry for the loss of such a talent. For the sake of your old courtiers, this king reminds you again, the clearer you and your son are about this matter, the better, and now the war is tight, but he came out like this, and he is touching the emperor's scales, so you will inevitably be hindered in your own career, or put away the mourning furnishings in your house. ā
"Sima Xi, you also know that he is my son? You can be so cold-blooded, but I can't!" Sun Yuan roared like thunder, "Who does he do things for, for whom do he contact you, Sima Xi doesn't know? Now that he is suffering, you are fighting with me? Okay, it's a big deal, one life is worth one life, my old rotten wood is coming to an end, and this career has come to an end, if the prince doesn't give me an explanation today, then don't blame me for ignoring the love of the year!"
"Presumptuous!Sun Yuan!Are you threatening this king?Have you forgotten who brought you all the way to this day, the descendant of your lonely family?"
"It's you who are too ruthless and unjust, so don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust!"
"Sun Yuan, you weren't such a mindless person before. ā
"Come back to me when you lose your son!"
This was extremely extraordinary, Sima Xi's heart suddenly became angry, he knew that Sun Yuan was no longer the Sun Yuan he used to be, he was crazy, and crazy people could do anything.
Looking at Sun Yuan's bursting and abrupt eyes, which were covered with bloodshots, Sima Xi eased a lot and said, "Being in the court, which one is a clean and innocent person, I don't like to hear a word." We are all people who walk on the edge of a blade. When things are revealed, someone always needs to be asked, yesterday it was you, tomorrow it was him, and this happened to be Sun Li. Sun Li sacrificed one person to save all of us, which is the best way. If he is alive, he should also hope that your father can live in peace forever, otherwise will he not be sacrificed in vain and let him live up to his hard work?"
"Then why don't you intercede for him in front of the emperor?"
"By then, it was too late. It's easy to talk about the corruption on the side, but this matter involves collaborating with the enemy and judging the country, and at this juncture when the war in the north begins, if Sun Li does not die, it will be difficult to suppress the anger of the people and stabilize the morale of the army. When Wang Fangxun gave evidence of the secret letter before, you didn't go that time, it was to protect you, and I tried my best to hinder this matter in front of the emperor in the Taiji Hall that day, but this matter involved Wang Suzhi of Wang Xie's family, new hatred and old hatred, Wang Xie naturally refused to give up, and fanned the flames in it, which contributed to the final situation. Ben Wang ...... I blame myself in my heart......"
"Lord ......"
"That's the end of Sun Li's matter, and there's no more to mention it. In the future, if you encounter a crisis, you should not be impulsive. This king is tired, so you should go back sooner!"
