Chapter 241: The Past

"Vermilion Bird Hairpin, Vermilion Bird Hairpin, I didn't expect that I would be able to see you in my lifetime, and I could also meet the descendants of the Sima family who were exiled abroad." The old man looked at the Vermilion Bird hairpin in his hand and muttered.

And beside this old man, there was a group of old men who were about the same age as him. At this time, they looked at the old man holding the Vermilion Bird hairpin, and everyone's expression was very excited.

At this time, an old man helped Yang Yun who was still lying on the guillotine up, and stared at Yang Yun carefully.

"Like, really like!" The old man said as he watched, causing several old people next to him to come around, just like looking at some rare animal, staring at Yang Yun vigorously.

The young people and children on the side had no idea what was going on. They looked at the group of old people curiously, hoping that the old people would explain it to them.

Even Si Quan, who is known as the general of Zhenbei, is looking at the field with a confused face at this moment, obviously, he doesn't know what is going on.

"Kid, you must not know what's going on, let me tell you!" The oldest old man came to Yang Yun and said excitedly.

"My current name is Sinan, in fact, my real name should be Sima Nan, I am your grandfather!" The old man said tremblingly, tears in his eyes.

"Girl, come here, he is your cousin, your own cousin, your Aunt Yu's child." The old man called Si Quan from a distance and said excitedly, his face flushed.

"You are my grandfather, and you are the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?" Yang Yun seemed to understand a little, and he looked at the white-haired old man, and his emotions were also a little excited.

"Can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Without waiting for the old man to speak, Yang Yun continued.

"Old fairy, it's windy here, let's go down the mountain first, and talk about this slowly in the house!" At this time, an old man with a somewhat sharp voice said.

"Good! Good! Let's go down and talk about it slowly, and you don't help me, let the two children come." The old man who called himself Sima Nan said to Yang Yun and Si Quan.

Yang Yun and Si Quan glanced at each other, walked over, helped the old man into a small sedan chair, and then everyone walked towards the small village on the mountainside.

After a short time, everyone came to the village and walked straight into the courtyard where the old man lived.

In the courtyard of the small courtyard, there are already several tables set up, with fragrant tea brewed on the table, and various fruit snacks on the side.

In the small courtyard, an old man about seventy years old and in good spirits was responsible for narrating, and several other old people on the side were responsible for supplementing, and it took several pillars of incense to make Yang Yun clear the ins and outs of the matter.

This old man is not lying, he is Yang Yun's grandfather, Sima Yu's father, and Sima Nan, the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Back then, in order to observe the people's feelings, Sima Nan took a group of guards and officials to various places for private visits. When he arrived in Yunzhou, Yang Yuan, the then Taifu, staged a mutiny and placed Sima Nan and a group of officials under house arrest.

Yang Yuan was originally a partner who grew up with Sima Nan since childhood, as Sima Nan's most trusted brother. He has always advised Sima Nan, and has repeatedly thwarted various conspiracies carried out by Sima Nan's brother to compete for the throne.

In addition, Yang Yuan also once protected Sima Nan when he was assassinated, and fought his way out of the bloody way and escaped from the enemy.

For this reason, Yang Yuan was too seriously injured and rested at home for more than a month before recovering.

Since then, Yang Yuan has become Sima Nan's most trusted subordinate, never defended him, and left everything to him to complete, and several elite forces in Sima Nan's hands were also handed over to Yang Yuan for comprehensive control.

Yang Yuan also did not live up to Sima Nan's trust, helped Sima Nan thwart the conspiracy of other princes many times, and finally assisted Sima Nan to ascend the throne.

After Sima Nan became the emperor, he named Yang Yuan as the Taifu, holding great power, and became a powerful figure under one person in the Great Jin Dynasty and above ten thousand people.

But what Sima Nan didn't expect was that Yang Yuan, who already held great power, gradually couldn't control his desire for power and began to wait for an opportunity to seize his own throne.

Relying on Sima Nan's trust in him, Yang gradually placed his cronies in some important positions in the court.

At this time, rumors began to circulate in the DPRK and China, saying that Taifu Yang Yuan was a relative. But Sima Nan, who heard the rumors, laughed, he thought that even if everyone in the world was responsible for himself, Yang Yuan would not be responsible for himself.

Relying on Sima Nan's trust in himself, Yang Yuan borrowed Sima Nan's hand to eliminate many officials who were at odds with his own politics, making many people who saw the wind and steered fall to Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan placed Sima Nan under house arrest, which made Sima Nan furious, saying that once he got out of trouble, he would let Yang Yuan die without a place to be buried.

What Sima Nan didn't expect, after listening to his words, Yang Yuan was not in a hurry. He sneered, took out a yellow satin from his arms, and handed the silk to Sima Nan.

Sima Nan took the silk and saw that there were many small characters densely written on the silk. He picked up the silk and looked carefully at the words written on the silk, and his face became more and more ugly. In the end, Sima Nan threw away the silk in his hand and sat on the ground weakly.

After several officials next to him saw Sima Nan's expression, they felt very strange, they picked up this piece of silk from the ground and looked at it seriously. Looking at it, these officials who were loyal to Sima Nan had their faces changed.

This silk is recorded on the signatures of the officials of the DPRK and China to express their allegiance to Yang Yuan, and this signature contains important officials from various departments of the DPRK and China. Most of the first- and second-rank officials in the DPRK and China have their names on this letter of allegiance.

"If you continue to be the emperor, then there will be a big war between us. Looking at this list, what do you think your odds are? Yang Yuan said with a sneer.

"Yang Yuan, I, Sima Nan, think that I am good to you and have given you so much power, why do you still want to do such a rebellious thing." Sima Nan said hatefully.

"Everything you gave me is what I deserve, and the reason why you have today's position is all because I Yang Yuan planned for you step by step. You are nothing without me Yang Yuan, I think my ability far exceeds you, if I come to be the emperor, I will definitely govern this country better. Listening to Sima Nan's words, Yang Yuan said lightly.

"Good! Good! Good! You are ruthless enough, I, Sima Nan, am blind myself, I admit that I have lost this country, what do you say you are going to do with me? Knowing that the matter was irreparable, Sima Nan said weakly.

"Now you are given two options, first, find you a place where you are incognito. You will not be allowed to come out for eternity, and you will not be allowed to contact your family or anyone in the court, but if you contact them, I will destroy all your family members and those who are loyal to you. Yang Yuan said coldly.

"And what about the second option?" Sima Nan said again.

"The second option is to wait for you to return to the DPRK, and the two of us will start a big fight, go through a bloody storm, and see which of us is the final winner." Yang Yuan laughed, his voice full of mockery.

"Over the years, we have a friendship, and if you choose the first option, I can promise to treat your family well." Yang Yuan said again.

"Alright! I choose the first option. When Sima Nan said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

In this way, Sima Nan and some of his subordinates were finally sent into this bleak river canyon. Yang Yuan promised him that as long as he and his descendants did not casually walk out of this bleak river canyon, he would never use force against this canyon. Even Yang Yuan reached an agreement with the State of Chu at the cost of a small border city, as long as the country in the canyon did not take the initiative to send troops, the State of Chu would not embarrass the people in the canyon.

In this way, Sima Nan and some of his subordinates lived in this valley of the Pooche River and established the country of Poo. At the same time, Sima Nan changed the surname Sima to the surname Si, and changed his name to Sinan.

After being hit, Sinan was full of hatred for the title of emperor. Therefore, although he established this small miserable country, he never wanted to call himself emperor. Under the influence of Sinan, his descendants after re-establishing a family in the country of Sorrow, although they were in charge of this canyon, they never regarded themselves as emperors.

"Grandpa's wife and son both live in the territory of Fuguo, and because of the commitment, he never contacted them again. But my grandfather's longing for them has never diminished, and he named me Si Quan because he missed her eldest son, my uncle Sima Quan, too much. After everyone finished speaking, Si Quan added.

"These old men are the officials and guards who have been with me back then, because their loyalty has given me some comfort in my heart. There is still the word loyalty in this world, not everyone, they are all ungrateful villains like Yang Yuan. Sinan said slowly, his eyes full of tears.

After listening to everyone's words, Yang Yun fell into silence, and he didn't say a word for a long time. On one side is his grandfather, on the other side is his grandfather, two good friends have become enemies for power, what can he say?

"Child, don't be sad, although my grandfather lost the throne, I want to open it. In this beautiful canyon, I don't have any pressure, I don't have to worry about state affairs, and I live a relaxed life every day, so I can live to be 83 years old this year. It's ridiculous that Yang Yuan thinks he is the winner, but now he has already turned into a pile of loess. Seeing that Yang Yun fell into silence, Sinan knew what was going on in his heart, and comforted him with a smile.

"Yes, grandpa's state of life is the best life, this grandchild is like you, I have no desire for any rights or status." Yang Yun raised his head and smiled faintly at Si Nan.

"Haha! Since you are my younger brother, then you don't want to go back, stay in the country of sorrow, everything in the country of sorrow is entrusted to you to be responsible, sister and I can also live an easy life. Si Quan suddenly said with a smile.

"Oh this! Don't even think about it, sister, first of all, I can't let go of the brothers in the fiefdom, and even if I come to this miserable country, if I take away your position as a beautiful general, your brothers will definitely hate me to death. Yang Yun also smiled.
