The edict sent to Sima Yue to enter Beijing has been sent to the East China Sea as soon as possible, and when the time comes, Sima Yue will bring a part of his personal troops to Beijing first, and then his subordinate troops will also enter Beijing in batches, if soon, Sima Yue will enter Beijing in early June, and his subordinate troops will all arrive in Luoyang before the end of next year.

Although Sima Ying and Sima Hao have returned to the fiefdom, they will never give up seizing power, although Sima Yi does not often talk to Yang Xianrong about the affairs of the court, but Yang Xianrong knows in his heart, these two princes have been operating in the court for many years and are not busy in vain, and their cronies in the court are secretly communicating with them at any time, so the current situation is that Sima Yi is in the light, and the two princes are in the dark, that is, I don't know when, these two people will launch a mutiny again and pull Sima Yi off the horse.

As the saying goes, there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, at this time, Yang Xianrong has no hope for Sima Qin's accession to the throne, she can arrange Nian'er's retreat, and she can also try her best to protect Sima Xuanhua, only Sima Qin, she is helpless. Sima Tan's identity is too ostentatious and too eye-catching, and she can only use all means to save his life first.

That day, Sima Xuanhua mentioned that Sima Tan was too lonely, so Yang Xianrong chose to let Xiao Hu enter the palace with a flash of inspiration, and now I think about it, I am afraid that it is crooked, and it can be regarded as a guard for Sima Tan, coupled with Yan Sheng, who is very skilled, he will have a little safety, and then ask God to protect this poor child, so that he can get out of trouble safely.

Although Xiao Hu is two years older than Sima Qin, he is simple-minded and an honest child, he doesn't know the situation in the palace at all, let alone what kind of danger they are in now, he only knows that he has lived a good life that he never thought of before, and he has a brother and can continue to practice martial arts, all of which makes him feel like a dream. And Yang Xianrong wants him to wake up from his dreams and be vigilant at all times.

Seeing Sima Qin go out, Yang Xianrong patted Xiao Hu's arm and said solemnly: "From today on, I will hand over the crown prince to you." ”

Xiao Hu was a little ignorant, thinking that he was the prince's companion, and the queen handed over the prince to herself to let herself take care of the prince, which was no problem, he was confident to do this, but before he could express his determination, Yang Xianrong sighed again.

"Do you know why your father died?" Yang Xianrong asked.

Xiao Hu heard the queen mention his father, his expression immediately became serious, this is a hidden pain in his heart, he didn't have a mother when he was a child, his father joined the army, he grew up with his grandparents, and later they were also taken to Luoyang by his father, but before the two got together, his father died. Even so, in Xiao Hu's heart, his father is also a figure who stands up to the sky, he firmly believes that he is a general, and he died on the battlefield for the Jin Dynasty, because this is what his grandparents told him since he was a child, and the two old men are very proud of their son, so Xiao Hu has always been proud.

So when he heard Yang Xianrong's question, he nodded firmly and said, "He is a hero." ”

"If a hero dies in battle, the court will issue a pension, which is enough for you to bury him, and even enough for you to grow up, but why do you need to borrow money to bury your father?" Yang Xianrong stared at Xiao Hu tightly, and sure enough, he saw a trace of puzzlement on his face, and then there was a fluster.

Xiao Hu never thought about this problem, and his grandparents never mentioned any money, on the contrary, his grandparents used up all the money in order to help their grandchildren pay off their debts, and later they couldn't stay in Luoyang and were persuaded by Xiao Hu to return to their hometown, where the old couple at least would not starve to death.

"Shall I tell you a story?" Yang Xianrong said: "It is a story about my Jin Dynasty, which contains me, Qin Er, and your father. ”

Xiao Hu nodded, his father had been dead for two years, and he was about to grow up, and he wanted to know all the things that happened to his father.

Things have to start with the death of the first prince Sima Shu, this is a history of Yang Xianrong who will also be heartbroken when he thinks about it, Sima Shu is her Ma Yu's brother, he gradually lost his original heart from a handsome son, and finally fell into the trap of the gangsters. Soon after his death, the former queen Jia Nanfeng was also imprisoned, and then did not kill, and even took her daughter to be imprisoned in the cold palace, and the Jia family was killed. Since then, the Jin Dynasty has entered an era of regime change and chaos, and the initiator of all this is Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, that is, the object of Xiao Hu's father's allegiance. Later, Sima Lun was overthrown, King Qi became the ruler, and the people who followed Sima Lun were either killed on the field or liquidated afterwards, according to the time of Xiao Hu's father's death, he should belong to the latter, and he was the protector of King Zhao who was liquidated.

After telling this story, Yang Xianrong looked at the shocked Xiao Hu and said softly: "Your father is not a hero, but a rebel. ”

Xiao Hu obviously couldn't accept such a statement, which subverted all the image of his father in his heart, he shook his head frantically, and shouted loudly: "No, no, you liar." Xiao Hu couldn't accept that his pride had turned into nothingness in an instant, his father was almost his faith, he had been dreaming of since he was a child, but now someone told him that everything was fake, that his father was not a hero, but a traitor. Android

Yang Xianrong didn't comfort Xiao Hu, just quietly watched him slowly quiet down from the heart-rending pain, and finally turned into a low sob, he shrunk in a corner of the room, sat on the ground, buried his head between his knees, and his body trembled from time to time to remind Yang Xianrong that he was still in extreme sadness.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Hu finally raised his head, looked at Yang Xianrong with a pair of red and swollen eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What does Niang Niang want me to do?" ”

Xiao Hu seemed to sober up instantly, Yang Xianrong would not tell him this for no reason, because if there is no need, who would be bored enough to destroy a father's image among his children? They didn't tell him before because it was unnecessary, but now Yang Xianrong told him because it was necessary.

Yang Xianrong sighed, before entering the palace, everything she saw and the people she met were warm and positive, after he entered the palace, everything was different, the people she saw were greedy and inhumane, and the things she saw were frustrating but powerless. Xiao Hu, a good child, was forced to look like this on the first day he entered the palace, who was to blame?

Yang Xianrong walked up to Xiao Hu, sat down beside him, took him into his arms, and continued to tell the story. The king of Qi became the ruler, but he did not have long to live, and was soon replaced by the king of Changsha. The current Jin Dynasty is so stormy.

"The king of Changsha is the only person who can protect me and the prince, he is here, Sima Qin's position as the crown prince is stable, the problem is that too many people are jealous of him, I don't know when he will become the next king of Zhao or the king of Qi, and when the time comes, the prince will be in danger." Yang Xianrong said to himself: "King Zhao has only reigned for more than three months, King Qi has reigned for just over a year, and King Changsha has reigned for only a few months, but he has already suffered an assassination, and I don't know when the next murder or mutiny will come." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hu was no longer crying, he raised his head and looked at Yang Xianrong fixedly, his eyes were afraid of the unknown, he was only twelve years old, although he was not so sensible, but he still knew the meaning of Yang Xianrong's words, what they had to face was death.

Yang Xianrong touched Xiao Hu's head, smiled, and said, "Although you have just met the prince, what kind of person do you think the prince is?" ”

"Good guys." Xiao Hu said without thinking: "He treats me very well." ”

Yang Xianrong agreed: "He is indeed a good boy, so are you willing to hear the story of this good boy again?" ”

Xiao Hu nodded. Yang Xianrong talked again, Sima Tan, like all the children of the royal family, was born noble but dispensable, his father King Qinghe was weak, there was no possibility of taking the heir, and he could only rely on other princes to survive, which led to Sima Tan not being valued by the Sima family since birth, he grew up with his mother, and said goodbye to his mother, after his father's death, he inherited the title, and had no right to ignore and have nothing to rely on, and it was precisely because of this that he was chosen by King Qi to become the crown prince, because he ascended the throne, he would also be a puppet emperor. Later, the king of Qi died, and the king of Changsha ascended the throne, and the king of Changsha attached great importance to this prince, thinking that he was smart and studious, and he was a good material for being an emperor, but also because of his attention, Sima Qin attracted unnecessary attention, and his identity was sensitive, so once the king of Changsha lost power, the first person who would encounter an accident must be the prince Sima Qin.

"I let you enter the palace, in addition to finding a playmate for the two of you, more importantly, I hope that you can follow the master to learn martial arts seriously, at least you can save your life when you encounter danger." "I know it's unfair to drag you into such a mess, but you worship heroes, and I think maybe I should give you a chance to make yourself a hero," Yang said. ”

Xiao Hu's eyes lit up again, boys have a heroic dream of becoming a general and commanding thousands of troops to kill the enemy for the country, and this dream is so strong in Xiao Hu's heart.

"A hero may not be a soldier who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy," Yang Xianrong noticed the change in Xiao Hu's expression, and continued: "If you protect a Ming monarch for my Jin Dynasty, you can benefit the people, benefit the country and the people, no less than the contribution made by the general who stood on the field, not to mention, if he really becomes the king, is your dream of a general still far away?" ”

Xiao Hu was said passionately, he nodded again and again, and said: "I listen to Niangniang, what Niangniang wants me to do, I will do it." ”

Yang Xianrong said: "I want you to be the personal guard of the crown prince Sima Tan, no matter what happens, you have only one task, do your best to protect his life." ”
