Volume 3 Chaos in Chang'an Chapter 115 The Dragon Guardian Family
The Jin Dynasty's mission was approaching Chang'an, and counting the servants and guards, there were hundreds of people. With a cart of gifts, plus a Zhu Sui who was locked in a prisoner car, under the protection and supervision of thousands of Qin soldiers, he slowly walked forward on the official road.
The most comfortable in the mission was naturally Shi San, who rode a tall horse and walked at the forefront of the mission surrounded by a group of younger brothers, looking majestic.
At this moment, Shi San is feeling his legendary experience in the past six months. first subdued the famous general Pei Shengqin of the Qin Dynasty with his superb personality charm in Linyi, and then infiltrated the Jin Dynasty to develop according to Pei Shengqin's strategy. When the grain and grass he had worked hard to prepare for the Jin Dynasty for a long time was snatched away by the Qin army in Xiangyang, Shi San was once disheartened, but fortunately the sky did not die Zhao, and at Shi San's most desperate moment, he met Huan Chong.
If you want to say that Shi San is most grateful to the person now, the first is Pei Shengqin, who presented him with the strange strategy of going south, and the second is Huan Chong, who is "discerning and knowing pearls". When Huan Chong learned of Shi San's "act of loyalty", he tried his best to override public opinion and let Shi San serve as the military advisor of the Jingzhou Army of the Great Jin Dynasty. Later, peace was negotiated, and Huan Chong went to Sima Yao many times to invite credit for Shi San. Sima Yao heard the story of Shi San, out of the mentality of buying horse bones, and also to set an "example" for the whole Jin Dynasty, so he decided to hold Shi San. In this way, as a righteous man who bravely sacrificed food, Shi San became inexplicably popular, and for a time became a hot figure in the Jin Dynasty.
Because of this, the Qin Dynasty chose Shi San as the envoy this time, and Sima Yao was also announcing to the people of the Jin Dynasty in disguise: As long as you are loyal to the Great Jin, you will have a great future. Look at that Shi San, during the war, he took huge risks to raise food for the Great Jin, even if the grain was robbed by the Qin Dynasty, the Great Jin would not forget his merits. Look at it, now that there is a gold-plated beauty difference abroad, isn't the Great Jin Dynasty the first to think of him, and the people of the whole country must learn from Shi San!
Of course, although it is not difficult to say that this trip is not difficult, everything has been negotiated during the peace talks, and it is good to fulfill it according to the treaty this time. But Sima Yao was still worried that Shi San, an ordinary "righteous citizen", would not be able to complete the task. Therefore, this time, Sima Yao assigned several deputy envoys to the mission to cooperate with and guide Shi San in his work.
"I'm almost in Chang'an, I'll be able to see Pei Hou soon, I'm so happy!"
Shi Sanmei said with a smile, the servants around him were all from the Fuzhao Society, and they didn't need to worry about anything when they spoke. If anyone else in the mission approached Shi San, someone would inform him in advance.
"Think about the fact that this seat struggled in the Qin Dynasty for decades, but after all, it failed to develop, and it was less than half a year before it reached the Jin Dynasty, and it became a celebrity. Thanks to Pei Hou's clever plan, if it weren't for Pei Hou guiding this seat to go south, how could this seat be today? It is an honor for this seat to accept Pei Hou, we will have a hero like Pei Hou in Zhao, why not revive Da Zhao! β
The more Shi San spoke, the happier he became, the more he felt how wise he was in kidnapping Pei Shengqin in the first place, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering again.
The little brothers on the side observed the words and expressions, and offered their sycophants one after another, and at the same time began to embarrass Shi San's "wisdom of knowing people".
"Ambassador, Marquis Ji is here!"
A younger brother reported to Shi San in a panic. Now the big guys are all officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they have to pay attention to their identities, and they can't scream at the lord anymore. Ambassador Lianqin is Shi San's official position now.
Shi San's face changed, and he muttered: "This Ji Kuang always likes to find my stubble, and I don't know what happened this time." Everyone should pay attention, and don't say the wrong thing after Ji Kuang comes over for a while. β
If there is anyone in the Jin Dynasty mission who can make Shi San, the envoy, afraid, it is Ji Kuang. Ji Kuang is the lord of the Blood Dragon Mansion, the fourth generation of Yiyang Marquis. This time, he entered Qin with the mission, one was to monitor the members of the mission, and the other was to explore the intelligence of the Qin Dynasty, and he had the right to cut first and then play. This time, there were hundreds of blood dragon deacons in the Jin Dynasty mission.
The Blood Dragon Mansion is the secret spy agency of the Jin Dynasty, and the preface is the same as the Blue Fly Division of the Qin Dynasty, and it is the right-hand man of Sima Yao, the king of the Jin Dynasty. Over the years, countless struggles have been waged between the Blue Fly Division and the Blood Dragon Mansion around reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, infiltration and counter-infiltration, and espionage and anti-in-between. However, the biggest difference between the Blood Dragon Mansion and the Blue Fly Division is that it is deeply influenced by the hereditary repudiation culture of the Jin Dynasty's family clans - the masters of the Blood Dragon Mansion in previous dynasties were all concurrently served by the Marquis of Yiyang.
At this time, I saw a strangely dressed white-haired young man riding a green horse and carrying a purple yaoqin to Shi San's side.
The young man wore a blood-red robe with narrow sleeves, but the robe was embroidered with dragon patterns, and the sun, moon and stars were painted around it. Let's say this is a dragon robe, the styles of the clothes are clearly different, not to mention who would use such an unlucky blood red in the dragon robe; But if this is not a dragon robe, the painted pattern is exactly the same as the dragon robe of the Jin Dynasty, whether it is a dragon pattern or the sun, moon and stars.
This dress is called the Blood Dragon Suit, and when the children of the Ji family in the past dynasties were appointed as the Marquis of Yiyang and the Lord of the Blood Dragon Mansion, they would be given a Blood Dragon Suit by the contemporary Jin Emperor to show their favor and trust. The Ji family is a unique family, the Ji family is the most loyal to the Jin Dynasty royal family Sima family, for a hundred years by the Sima family's respect and trust, known as the "dragon family", and even the secret spy agency This weapon of the country is hereditary by the descendants of the Ji family. Similarly, this blood dragon suit is also unique in the world, which symbolizes the Ji clan's unparalleled loyalty to the Sima royal family.
The purple Yaoqin is the symbol of the direct descendants of the Ji family, known as the Ji Qin, and there is also a famous song "Guangling San" with it. All the descendants of the Ji family like to admire the Ji Qin and play "Guangling San".
This white-haired young man with Yaoqin on his back, wearing a blood dragon suit, and riding a green horse is none other than Yiyang Hou Ji Kuang!
Shi San showed a flattering smile, hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Marquis Ji, why did Marquis Ji come to see the lower officials?" β
Ji Kuang stared at Shi San coldly, his eyes full of doubt: "A few days ago, one of Lord Shi's servants seemed to have left the team, and he only returned today, I don't know what he did?" β
The third prince Shi's eyelids jumped, and he secretly exclaimed. He sent people out a few days ago, but he went to Chang'an City in advance to send a message to the left and right protectors of the Fu Zhao Society, informing them that he was about to arrive in Chang'an. Shi San didn't expect Ji Kuang to observe so carefully, and he secretly sent a person out for a trip, but he was also discovered.
Shi San couldn't hide it when he saw it, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he shouted: "Xiaguan sent someone to sneak into Chang'an in advance to find out the information of the Qin Dynasty, and only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles." As the chief envoy of the mission, these are what the lower officials should do! β
The third prince Shi's reply can be described as an IQ explosion, and he estimated that Ji Kuang came to question him at this time, and he must have found out in advance that he was sending someone to Chang'an. Instead of denying this matter and letting him find an excuse to make trouble, it is better to admit it generously.
Yes, I sent someone to Chang'an in advance, but I was looking for information for the Great Jin Dynasty! I'm the head of the mission, and it's normal for me to do these things!
"I heard that Lord Shi was originally a wealthy citizen of the Xiangyang generation before he was promoted to military advisor by the Jingzhou Thorn History?" Ji Kuang's eyes were suspicious, and he sneered: "Lord Shi was born in an ordinary person, and he has only been in the imperial court for a few months, and he has no diplomatic experience. This is the first time that Lord Naishi has gone abroad, how could he think of sending someone to Chang'an to investigate in advance? β
Ji Kuang's suspicion is very simple, as a positive envoy, it is not wrong to go to find out the news in advance. But since you are from an ordinary person's background, and you have no experience in this area before, you have suddenly become a righteous envoy of a country, so it is okay if you are not nervous and trembling, and you still have the energy to think of exploring intelligence?
Shi San stiffened his neck and said: "The Law of Jin does not stipulate that ordinary people cannot produce talents, isn't it okay for the lower officials to be born smart, why did Marquis Ji question the lower officials because of this?" β
Ji Kuang saw that Shi San's answer was perfect, and knew that he couldn't ask anything today, so he said slowly: "Lord Shi is doing it himself, I will always pay attention to Lord Shi." β
It was not without reason that Ji Kuang targeted Shi San, as the biggest spy leader of the Jin Dynasty, Ji Kuang was particularly sensitive in some aspects.
Shi San claimed to be a common person in Xiangyang, and when he heard that the Jin Dynasty had recovered Xiangyang, he came to offer grain. But if he doesn't come sooner or later, he has to wait for the time after the tyrannical Qin recovers Xiangyang. As a result, it was said that it was a sacrifice of grain to the Jin Dynasty, but in fact, all the grain and grass were contributed to the Qin Dynasty; In addition, when Shi San defected to Huan Chong, he was followed by many followers. In this regard, Shi San's explanation is that he was originally a wealthy family in the countryside, and these people are all domestic servants. It stands to reason that a family with so many servants in the family, even if they live in the countryside, will not be completely unknown. Afterwards, Ji Kuang specially asked some people near Xiangyang, and no one had heard of a Shi family in the township near Xiangyang.
Therefore, Ji Kuang always felt that Shi San's appearance was very suspicious, as if someone deliberately arranged for him to appear at the right time, and then blend into the Jin Dynasty court. However, it is a pity that since Xiangyang's household registration has always been in the hands of the Qin Dynasty, even if Ji Kuang suspects that Shi San's identity is fraudulent, he cannot verify it. I can only pay more attention to Shi San in normal times in order to make discoveries.
Ji Kuang left, Shi San smacked hard in the direction of Ji Kuang's departure, and scolded: "I, don't you just rely on the ancestor Meng Yin to mix up the blood dragon suit, what is there to be angry." Lao Tzu is still a descendant of the Great Zhao Emperor, saying it scares you to death! β
If you want to talk about the cause and effect between the Ji clan of the Jin Dynasty dragon protection family and the Sima clan of the Jin Dynasty royal family, you have to start from a hundred years ago.
During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, the eight kings were in turmoil, and Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty personally conquered Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. Emperor Hui of Jin marched to Dangyin, met an ambush, was defeated by the rebels, and hundreds of officials fled. At the most dangerous juncture, only Ji Shao, who was in the middle of the service, carried the piano and carried the sword, guarding the side of Emperor Jin Hui.
At that time, Ji Shao was scarred by the rebels and blood was splashed, but he desperately protected Emperor Jin Hui behind him, refusing to retreat half a step until he died in battle. Ji Shao's splashed blood even stained the dragon robe of Emperor Hui of Jin behind him, and finally Emperor Hui hugged Ji Shao's corpse and cried bitterly!
After Emperor Hui of Jin escaped, the maid of the Huanyi Bureau saw that the dragon robe was full of blood, so she wanted to change his clothes for Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui said: "This Ji serves the blood, don't wash it!" β
For thousands of years in later generations, there are many people who respect Ji Shao. For example, Wen Tianxiang, the famous prime minister of the late Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Song of Righteousness", praising Ji Shao's loyalty. The poem says: For General Yan's head, for Ji's blood!
At a certain banquet, Emperor Jin Hui recalled Ji Shao and burst into tears. Deeply felt Ji Shao's loyalty, and sighed: "When it is in danger, all officials abandon me, but Ji Shao does not give up. In the world of my Sima clan, only the Ji clan is the most loyal! β
So Emperor Hui posthumously named Ji Shao as the Marquis of Yiyang, and ordered his descendants to take the title. He also created the Blood Dragon Mansion to investigate the world, and the lords of the previous dynasties were all led by the Marquis of Yiyang. Emperor Hui of Jin personally gave the dragon robe stained with Ji Shao's blood to the first generation of the blood dragon mansion master, and since then it has become a practice that all the blood dragon mansion lords succeed each other, and the Jin Dynasty court will give the blood dragon suit.
Since then, the Ji family has also been known as the "Dragon Guardian Family", and has enjoyed supreme glory and wealth in the Jin Dynasty for generations. Before Emperor Hui of Jin died, he even left an ancestral motto: "All the descendants of my Sima clan must never be suspicious of the descendants of the Ji family, only the Ji family can be in charge of the investigation department, and the whole world will oppose my Sima family, and the Ji family will not oppose it!" "- Everything has a cause and effect, this is the cause and effect that Ji Shao sacrificed himself to protect the dragon for the Ji family.

Zitong Mansion.
A eunuch came to the door with a holy decree.
Pei Shengqin glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty wants me to receive the Jin Dynasty mission?" β
The eunuch raised the holy decree, showed a lewd expression, and praised: "Pei Hou, you are really a little clever ghost!" β
Pei Shengqin yawned and said lazily: "I'm a right general, and it's not proper to go to greet guests. Tell me, what new position has Your Majesty prepared for me? β
The eunuch smiled even brighter: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites." β
Pei Shengqin's eyes lit up, and he was short of fat.
"For the time beingβ" the eunuch added, "when the Jin Dynasty mission is gone, he will be automatically dismissed." β
