Chapter 22 The King of Chu Visits
On the way back to the East Palace, Sima Shu regretted his impulsiveness a little, since the death of Emperor Wu, he has been low-key, if it is not for the long-term depression, and the palace changes, he will not be so public, not only exposed his identity, but also involved with the King of Chu. Thinking back to the scene just now, the crowd of onlookers knelt down towards him, and the friends behind him were shocked, Yang Ting took the lead and knelt down, he dragged Liu Yao, Liu Yao reacted, and knelt down with Yang Xianrong and Liu Ling. In this way, I am afraid that these rare friends he has made will also be lost.
Back in the East Palace, Sima Shu stuffed himself in the room, he hadn't been out of the palace for some time, he wanted to go out for a walk, but he got into trouble again, and his mood was terrible.
Early in the morning of the second day, Sima Shu had just finished breakfast, and when he had nothing to do, he took an idle book and read it crookedly on the couch. Sima Shu was shocked, and instinctively wanted to find an excuse not to see, but before he could speak, the King of Chu had already swaggered in.
Sima Shu raised his eyes to look at this uncle who had not been seen for a long time, the king of Chu was not burly, but he looked very acquainted, he was not tall, but he was tall, because he practiced martial arts all year round, his eyes were bright, and when he looked at people, there seemed to be a sharp sword stabbing him, he had a beard on his upper lip that did not fit, but although the beard on his chin was thick, it was very neatly groomed.
"Hahahaha......" As soon as he saw Sima Shu, Sima Wei let out a bell-like laugh: "My little nephew has grown up." ”
"I've seen the fifth uncle." Sima Shu respectfully bent slightly and hugged his fists.
"Hey," Sima Wei suddenly hugged Sima Shu: "You are the prince now, and it should be your uncle who gives you a gift." ”
Sima Wei bent down as he spoke, how dare Sima Shu really accept the salute, hurriedly jumped to the side, waved his hand and said, "Uncle doesn't have to be like this." ”
Sima Wei smiled again, and he patted Sima Shu on the shoulder: "Our uncle and nephew don't have to be polite." After that, he sighed again: "Oh, you just knew how to run and jump when I left, and now I listen to your mother, you are about to choose a concubine, and you are an adult in the end." ”
"Uncle said with a smile," Sima Shu let Sima Wei sit down, and filled him tea with his own hands, and said, "Although my uncle is not in the court, my nephew can often hear my uncle's prestige." ”
"Okay, okay, let's not say this compliment." Sima Wei drank a cup of tea, paused, and said: "Uncle should have come to see you earlier when he returned to Beijing this time, but there were many things in the court, no, I heard that my people didn't bother you yesterday, so I hurried over to make amends to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Sima hurriedly said: "It's just a trivial matter. ”
"How can offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be a trivial matter?" Sima Wei slapped the table as he spoke, pointed to the outside and said, "I have dealt with all the people in that team, and I will vent my evil anger for you." ”
"Place...... Dealt with? Sima Shu panicked.
"Kill." Sima Wei said lightly, as if killing a few people was like crushing a few ants, but he pretended to be serious and said: "Offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a crime, and it is not a pity to die." ”
Sima Wei's stomach suddenly churned, he desperately suppressed his vomiting, and looked at Sima Wei in fear. Sima Wei didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Sima Shu, and continued to drink tea calmly. The two were speechless for a long time, and Sima Wei suddenly stood up and prepared to leave.
Sima Shu also hurriedly stood up to send him off, Sima Wei took two steps and suddenly stopped, and glanced at Sima Shu deeply: "We are all the bloodline of the Sima family, and we should guard the world of the Sima family." He leaned over to Sima Shu's ear and said, "You have to remember that this Jin Dynasty is neither surnamed Yang nor Jia. ”
Sima Shu nodded ignorantly.
Sima Wei smiled and said loudly: "Your wedding, uncle must come." ”
After Sima Wei left, Sima Shu fell into deep thought, he knew that Sima Wei was here to show favor to him, but he was a child with no power and no power and the name of a prince, what could he do for him? What's more, where did he start with his sentence that he is not surnamed Jia in this world, isn't Sima Wei in the same group as Jia Nanfeng? Isn't there any change in the DPRK and China?
Just thinking about it, Xie An came to report again, saying that Lord Sun Hui asked to see him. Among Zhan Shi's subordinate officials, more than half of them have been replaced by Jia Nanfeng, she wants to set aside Sima Shu, but she doesn't want to be said to have bad intentions, and she can't do too much on the prince's side, in addition to because the prince is the only heir of Sima Zhen after all, she also believes that when she has a choice in the future, these "old people" around the prince can become a flaw for her to get rid of the prince.
Sun Hui is Sima Shu's master, he taught him kung fu when Sima Shu was a child, the two get along, and the relationship is also good, in today's situation, Sun Hui is one of the few people Sima Shu can still trust. Therefore, when he heard Sun Hui asking to see him, Sima Shu agreed without even thinking about it.
After a brief salute, Sun Hui opened his mouth and said, "I heard that His Highness was frightened in the West Market yesterday?" ”
Sima Shu smiled bitterly: "This matter spreads quickly. ”
"Definitely." Sun Hui shook his head: "The little girl Yang Xianrong who went out to play with the prince yesterday is the niece of Xia Guan, and I was there when she returned to the house yesterday, so I listened to her tell the story of how an old friend brother became His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Sima Shu's mind also appeared with the appearance of a sheep offering his face, so he laughed: "Let the master see and laugh." ”
Sun Hui also smiled, but he smiled and laughed and he became serious again, he pulled Sima Shu into the house, closed the doors and windows, and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not have too much to do with the King of Chu at present, the King of Chu has an unstable foundation in the court, and once there is an accident, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will be affected." ”
Sima Shu frowned, he really had doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "...... the king and queen of Chu?"
"The king of Chu should be the queen who recalled the court to kill Yang Jun." Sun looked back at Sima Shu, and when he saw that he was not surprised, he understood that he had guessed this relationship, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Sima Shu was just a child, and it was really not easy to think about things to this extent. He added: "After Yang Jun's death, Sima Wei intended to stay in the court, but Empress Jia's intention was to let him return to the fiefdom, so the two had a conflict. ”
"No wonder the fifth uncle said that he was coming to my wedding when he left, it turned out to mean this." Sima Shu suddenly realized. For a while, he was upset again: "Grandfather once said that the fifth uncle was like him and trusted him very much, how could he ......?"
"The King of Chu was resentful because His Majesty was appointed as the prince, and even spoke disrespectfully, and was reprimanded by the first emperor, and then he changed his mind, in fact, he restrained his edge and waited for the opportunity to move, this time Queen Jia gave the King of Chu a great opportunity." Sun Hui said with a straight face: "I came this time just to inform His Highness that the King of Chu has a treacherous mind, even if he intends to win over His Highness, he will not have the intention of assisting His Highness to ascend the throne, he is a person, no matter who or anything, he will smile at him, and if it is not good for him, he will not care about his family and blood." ”
Sima Shu remembered what happened yesterday, and then listened to what Sun Hui said, and shivered all over his body, before he calmed down, his body suddenly surged like a river again, this time, he couldn't help it anymore, ran to the side, and vomited at a pot of flowers.
After a sigh of relief, Sima Shu told Sun Hui what happened yesterday. Eight lives, one was not left, I heard that the little leader was also a younger brother of Sima Wei's favorite concubine, Sima Wei killed him without even frowning, this person is vicious, it can be seen.
Sun Hui told Sima Shu for a long time before leaving with a face full of anxiety.
Sima Shu sat in the room in a daze, really didn't dare to think about what the future would become, he wanted to protect himself, but he didn't know how to do it, let alone when he could protect himself. Jia Nanfeng, Sima Wei, Yang Jun, Yang Zhi, Wu Di...... This figure walked through his mind one by one, leaving him with a chill all over his body.
"Xie An." Sima Shu shouted outside the house.
Xie An walked in from the outside with a hunched body, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Sima Shu waving two large kitchen knives in his hands, dancing vigorously.
"Your Royal Highness, what are you doing here?" Xie An was so frightened that his voice changed tone.
Sima Shu smiled, put the kitchen knife on the table with two "clangs", and commanded: "Tell someone to put up the market, the master is going to open a business." ”
