Chapter Ninety-Five: Sima Chen
In the central pavilion of the back garden of the southern suburbs of Beijing, there were three people present at this time, raising a glass and changing lamps.
"Sima, are you really no longer worried?" Sitting on the upper seat, wearing a black dark pattern brocade robe, the handsome boy who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old asked.
"My heart is decided." Sima Chen still maintained his usual style, as soon as this sentence came out, Qianli sitting next to him couldn't help but tremble, big brother, can we speak softly? And don't you look at who asks you?
"Hey, it seems that I don't have that blessing." The son on the throne said, narrowing his Danfeng eyes, it was very charming, if there was a woman here, he would definitely be hooked by him.
"Brother Zixuan, now that Guotai Min'an is safe, we are naturally focused on making money, if we encounter foreign enemies or something in the future, we will go all out." Qianli looked at him like that, and his heart was very depressed, has this brother been with those women for a long time? They won't eat his set, but on the surface they are very respectful.
"With your words today, the foolish brother is very pleased." The man on the seat took the lead in raising his glass, and the other two also raised their glasses one after another, Sima Chen didn't say anything on the surface, but he didn't like Qianli's words in his heart.
"Brother Zixuan, it's not early today, ...... you look" Qianli received frequent signals from the white fat old man behind the man on the seat, so he had to bite the bullet and say.
"It's okay, let's just say goodbye, I hope there will be such a brotherly time next time." The man in the upper seat looked unsatisfied, and got up and left. Sima Chen and Qianli immediately got up to see each other, and they didn't return to the pavilion until the other person's car was nowhere to be seen.
"Sima, don't blame me for talking too much just now, even if you don't like him anymore, you can only keep it in your heart." Qianli saw that Sima completely ignored himself and just tasted the wine in the cup by himself, so he could only continue helplessly:
"Don't think about the past, he also has his last resort in that position, even if we grow up together, but he is not the unfavored Seventh Prince now." Qianli said bitterly, Sima Chen finally put down the wine glass and said to the entourage beside him:
"Go and get a jar of wine from Hongsongtun." Qianli really wants to grab him by the collar and yell, what are you going to do? Of course, this was just his idea, but he didn't dare to do it.
"I've got my own measure, and he'll need my help as long as he's in that position." Sima Chen can see it thoroughly, and he doesn't dare to say it in the future, judging from the current situation, he still can't leave him in the short term.
"That's what I said, but he will become stronger one day, and then he won't be the way he is now." Qianli hoped that Sima would not be settled by others.
"I've left the way back a long time ago, and now it's just for my grandfather's last wish." If it weren't for my grandfather's deathbed entrustment, I wouldn't have stayed in the capital to take care of this bunch of.
"I just hope you don't underestimate him too much, people who don't have some ability can't do that position." Qianli was furious when he saw Sima Chen's indifferent look, who is he for?
"You're talking more and more, let's go see Jun'an tomorrow." Sima Chen opened the jar of wine that his entourage had taken, poured himself a drink, and completely ignored Qianli's resentful eyes.
"Sima, you're not right, why don't you give me a taste of this wine?" As he spoke, he started to grab it, but unfortunately Sima Chen had already prepared, and after a while, the two of them punched me and fought with each other, and the entourage on the side stood silently as if they didn't see it.
When a jar of wine was snatched and drunk by the two of them, Qianli returned to his yard, thinking that after drinking so much wine, he would definitely fall asleep, who would have thought that he would have insomnia? Lying on the bed and unable to sleep, he had to think wildly, and unconsciously thought about the events of the year......
He was only six years old that year, and his grandfather kicked him out of the house because his father and mother had done something wrong, leaving him to live with his aunt as a young child. Later, his aunt also married, and his position in the palace was very embarrassing, at this time, the first emperor issued an edict ordering all officials above the third grade to send all the male babies from five to ten years old in the family to the palace to study with the princes, and three months later through the examination to select the suitable ones as the prince's companions.
In the examination, he and Sima Chen were both selected to be the prince's companions, until a year later, Sima left the palace and went to the barracks with his grandfather because of his father's martyrdom. The years of studying with the princes in the palace were a nightmare for him, and he would be played with almost every day, and just when he was accustomed to such a sad day, the Seventh Prince, who was very unpopular with the emperor, came forward to defend him. This made the young him very moved, and he wanted to die for the Seventh Prince, so after they were side by side for four years, Sima Chen was summoned from the military camp to the palace by the emperor with an edict. Hearing the news, Qianli was very excited, and his only friend was about to come back, but when he saw Sima Chen, he was shocked, the child king was gone, and it was a cold and emotionless iceman who came back. All people don't like to be close to him, but Qianli is not afraid, and he follows others every day, no matter what attitude Sima Chen has, he greets him with a smile.
He still remembered what the Seventh Prince said to him, he said that Sima Chen's father was not martyred, but was given to die, and that he did not enter the palace as a companion, but as a hostage left by the emperor's side. After hearing these words, Qianli no longer followed behind the Seventh Prince, he revolved around Sima Chen every day, and even if he was laughed at, he did not flinch at all. I thought that Sima Chen would ignore him for the rest of his life, but who knew that when the prince at that time was looking for trouble with him, Sima Chen actually beat the prince's entourage, and he didn't know how things developed, and finally it became a struggle between the three factions. One faction is headed by the crown prince, the other is headed by the three princes, and the last faction is headed by the seven princes. Qianli and Sima Chen were naturally divided into the Seven Princes' faction, for which Qianli blamed himself very much, who would have thought that Sima Chen, who had not said a word for half a year, would comfort himself who was older than him.
It was at that moment that they became friends, and they also began to disturb each other with the Seven Princes. I remember that at that time, the three of them often sneaked out of the palace to play, when they were eleven years old, and the seventh prince was punished by the emperor and was very depressed. The two of them went out of the palace to find something fresh for him, but they accidentally saved Yi Junan, and the three of them often mixed together since then. Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and although they and Yi Junan are not often together, they are also lifelong friendships, but the relationship between the Seventh Prince and them is not clear.
Now that he has ascended to the great treasure, he will come to them with dignity and dignity, just to let Sima Chen enter the office and help him gain a firm foothold, but Sima Chen refused directly again without thinking about it, which made Qianli very annoyed. They grew up together, and both of them know each other very well, so as long as Sima Chen decides something, it is useless for eight cows to pull him, and the most important thing is that the current saint is not as broad-minded as he seems.
That's not all, there is such a thing on Yi Junan's side, it's really a wave of unevenness, I really don't know when I can put down my peace of mind?
At the same time, Sima Chen was also thinking about things, but he didn't have the leisure to look like the past, he was thinking about the future.
"Come in, what are you doing standing outside?"
"Master, my subordinates think you're asleep." It was actually Kageichi who spoke.
"Say it" Sima Chen still kept the same and did not sit up.
"Miss Ling will enter Beijing in five days, and there is nothing special on the way, but I found that someone is secretly following us, and yesterday I arrested one of those people and committed suicide without saying anything. This is the tattoo I took from that person's body, forgive my subordinates for their ignorance, I have never seen these patterns before, so I don't know its origin, please punish the master. Ying Yi handed the white cloth in his hand to Sima Chen, who had sat up at this time, and when he saw the pattern, his brows couldn't help frowning, was it him?
"You go back to her quickly, take Ying 6 and Ying 7 with you when you leave, remember to pretend not to know, don't act rashly until you have to, and wait until you enter Beijing to make plans." Ying Yiling closed and left, leaving Sima Chen thoughtful.
Tonight doesn't seem to be suitable for sleep, and the emperor who should have slept on the dragon couch, that is, Brother Zixuan in Qianli's mouth, is also sleepless.
"Your Majesty, it's past noon, you have to pay attention to the dragon body." Gonggong Zhao, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, interrupted his musings by a remark.
"Zhao Fu, what do you mean by Sima Chen? I didn't say it twice and I wasn't sincere enough? Long Qiyu was really angry with that Sima Chen, but he couldn't attack in front of him, which made him very depressed. Qianli called him his words, Zixuan was given to him by the first queen, and in private back then, Qianli and Sima both called him Brother Zixuan.
"Your Majesty, how dare the old slave discuss politics on his own?" Zhao Fu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, so he wouldn't talk nonsense, this is a matter between the two of you, so he won't wade into this troubled water.
"You useless thing, get out of here." Looking at his appearance, Long Qiyu was so angry. Thinking about himself, the emperor is really holding his breath, the government is controlled by the left and right prime ministers, and the harem is controlled by the queen mother. I wanted to ask Sima Chen to help him, but he dared to refuse in person, if he didn't see that he was still useful, how could he be so arrogant?
Zhao Fu, who withdrew, was not really afraid, what kind of battle had he not seen when he was by the side of the emperor back then? The paper tiger inside is not to be feared, but thinking of Sima Chen's attitude today reminds him of the incident that made the emperor regret it back then, it seems that he still hasn't seen it, hey, who can really see it?
