That night, Tian Xin stayed at Guan Yu's mansion and received his second cousin Yang Zheng and Yang Zhongheng in the side courtyard.

A personal soldier familiar with Yang Zheng led Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng had two mustaches, wore a two-slung Jin Xian crown, hung a sword at his waist, and walked with the wind.

Sima Yi was wearing a fine cloth gray robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a roll of bamboo slips on a wooden plate in his hand.

He looked at the warriors with the banner of Xiahou on their backs, and saw that these people were either casual or had a straight face, but there was no laughter and playfulness...... And a few of the people with Guanzhong accents are only perfunctory to Yang Zheng, and there is no intimate stuttering, which is a bit bizarre.

Either the Yang Zheng clan and the Tian clan were not as close as Yang Zheng advertised, or because of pride, these samurai disdained to curry favor with Tian Shin's kin.

That is, to obey Tian Xin alone, or to obey Tian Xin's relatives, and there is no reverence for the relatives who are a little farther away.

In the courtyard, Tian Xin was wearing loose linen shorts that exposed his knees, his upper body was a vest, he had just taken a bath, and he was massaging his scalp with a horn comb.

"Ashin?"

Yang Zheng looked at Tian Xin in disbelief, except for the faint resemblance of his face, everything else was very different from the Tian Xin in his memory.

Tian Xin folded the folding fan in his hand and squinted at Yang Zheng: "Second brother? ”

Yang Zheng took two steps forward and pointed to Tian Xin's hair, distressed and sad: "Ashin humiliates his own family, why is it painful?" ”

"It's all here, so why bother with these tiny details?"

Tian Xin stretched out his arms and invited Yang Zheng to sit down in the living room, and Sima Yi also took off his shoes and followed with a wooden plate.

Soon after he sat down, Yu Zhong came to cook tea with a plate of tea sets, Yu Zhong wore a red-edged white silk armor, and embroidered a tiger head on his back, which provoked Sima Yi to take a few more glances at the tiger head embroidery.

Yang Zheng restrained his emotions and handed out the silk book from his sleeve: "Ashin, my mother is very concerned, since Ashin became famous and powerful in Jingyu, my mother has gradually become at ease." Ji Heng is in Jingzhou? ”

Tian Xin flipped through his aunt's letter and replied: "Brother Ji Heng accompanied his grandfather in Maicheng, his uncle was in Hanbei to supervise the town of Yuancheng, and the rest of Kunzhong either served in the army or worked as an official outside. The young are also studying abroad, and most of them can't accompany their grandfathers, thanks to Ji Heng's work, we can serve the country wholeheartedly. ”

Putting away the tear-stained silk book, Tian Xin asked, "What's going on with this Xia Principality?" ”

"That's the case, since Your Majesty Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, I have heard that Ashin made a new summer calendar, and wants to promote the whole country, and I feel that Ashin simplifies the writing skills in the future, so I worship filial piety first for the Xia Gong of the Great Wei, ranking first among the three Ke, and the princes and kings of the same court."

Yang Zheng said and arched his hand in the direction of Luoyang in the north: "And the five counties of Yewang are the fiefdoms of the Principality of Xia, and they have the kindness of His Majesty, and the foolish brother is lucky to worship the Xia Xiang, and he is the acting military and political affairs of the fiefdom for filial piety." ”

Saying that, he stretched out his arms towards Sima Yi: "This Wen County Sima Yi, the word Wen Kuang, is the master book of the foolish brother. ”

Sima Yi held the wooden plate high and looked in reverence: "The minister Sima Yi visited the prince, the five counties of the principality, Toda, and asked the prince to review it." ”

"That's not right."

Tian Xin couldn't feel Yang Zheng's kindness, let alone the sincerity of this Sima Yi, he couldn't even be infected, and then looked at the glowing enthusiastic eyes, how strange it was.

Glancing at Yang Zheng again: "The second brother also has the blood of the Tian family in his body, and he is my grandson." It's not interesting to be Xia Xiang, so it's better to go to the Jitian clan to be another branch and do this Great Wei Xia Gong. ”

"Ashin, in ancient times, Su Qin was the prime minister of the Five Kingdoms, and there was Xue Jun and Meng Weijun and Qin."

Yang Zheng persuaded: "The battle for the world in the Han and Wei dynasties is really a matter of the state, and it is a private matter for Ah Xin to be the lord of Xiahou and Xiagong, and this is also expected." ”

"I have also heard of the magnanimity of the lord of Han, and I don't want to take care of such trivial things. In the future, the household rent and levy of the Xia Principality will be controlled by Ashin, and the land split by the Great Wei is the private land of the Tian family. Ashin has a clear distinction between public and private, who can put his beak and mouth too much? ”

"The second brother hasn't drunk yet, how can he talk nonsense?"

Tian Xin's tone was unhappy, he reached out to catch the teacup handed by Yu Zhong, took a sip and savored it, and glanced at Sima Yi a few more times: "Sima Wenkuang, what is the relationship between you and Sima Bada?" ”

"The great-ancestor of the minister is the son of Sima Shuping, the general of the Han Zhengxi, and the father and ancestor of the minister are not visible in the world."

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The minister and Sima Bada Kunzhong have been out of five suits, and there are few contacts. ”

Sima Jun, the general of the expedition to the west, a well-known general who is often defeated, said that this person was very capable of fighting, but he lost the battle every time, and committed suicide in prison after losing a battle.

Sima Jun's son Yuzhang County Shou Sima Liang, Sima Liang's son Yingchuan County Shou Sima two generations began to transform, no longer being a general, this is an embarrassing profession for the Sima family.

After all, the ancestor was the prince of the early Han Dynasty, King Yin Sima, and the only prince and king killed by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Pengcheng.

Tian Xin motioned for Sima Yi to drink tea and said, "I heard that Sima Zhongda looks at the wolf and looks very human. Are you good at drawing? ”

Sima Yi swallowed dryly, put down the wooden plate in his hand, caught the tea bowl handed by Yu Zhong with the scabbard, held a small drink in both hands and savored it, and stretched his eyebrows: "Back to the public, Sima Zhongda has an ordinary appearance, and the ministers are all long and strong, with a rough appearance, and there is nothing surprising. If there is, Sima Zhongda's eyebrows are slightly slender, which is different from his Kunzhong. ”

"Then what color of clothing does Sima Zhongda like on weekdays?"

"Well, what does it mean for the Lord to ask?"

"Don't be surprised, I heard that this person was transferred from the Overseer to the Imperial History at the end of last year, and I think that this year will definitely be out of the prison. If you play against me, if you can recognize him, you can catch him! ”

Tian Xin said and smiled, his eyes fell on Sima Yi's face, Sima Yi laughed with him, his head was half bowed, and he was holding tea: "Sima Zhongda is simple by nature, likes gray and blue, and doesn't like bright colors. I'm afraid that when Zhongda commands the army, he will also pretend to be an ordinary military official, which is difficult to detect. ”

Yang Zheng took a sip of tea at this time, felt the taste carefully, and said with a smile: "It seems that Ashin's plan is about to fail." ”

"Ugh."

Tian Xintou drank his cup of tea: "I also ask casually, but second brother, I don't care whether the Principality of Xia exists or not." If the second brother wants to wear Xia Gong's crown clothes, then he might as well wear it, and I will send someone to copy the family tree and set up another branch. It just so happens that the uncle's family is the heir, and it is reasonable for the second brother to succeed. ”

Yang Zheng smiled, Tian Xin glanced at the bamboo slip that Sima Yi picked up again, and laughed at himself: "There is only Xiahou Xin in the world, and in the future, there will only be Chen Gongxin, and there will be no Xia Gongxin." If the second brother has the courage, he will give a word to Cao Pi on my behalf. ”

"Ashin said, I will convey it tactfully."

"It's not a bad thing, just say that if the war goes well, I will personally go to Yecheng to burn Cao Cao's mausoleum. It also relieved him, I just set fire to it, and I didn't bother to dig up people's coffins and bully the corpses. ”

"Ashin, what are these words?"

"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, Cao Pi can naturally understand, he won't be angry."

Tian Xin said and lowered his head to look at Yang Zheng: "Second brother, second brother, is my family's hatred not as good as a Xia Xiang in your eyes?" ”

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Sima Yi, Sima Yi quickly put down the wooden plate in his hand and arched his hand: "What is the official's instructions?" ”

"I don't have any instructions, and I bother Mr. to pass on a word to Sima Zhongda."

Tian Xin's right hand stretched out towards Yu Zhong, Yu Zhong handed over half a jar of tea powder bamboo jars of about 2 taels and about 30 grams, and Tian Xin put this half jar of tea in front of Sima Yi: "Sima Zhongda is a close minister of Cao Pi, and it is impossible for him to serve Han." Give him half a jar of tea powder, and if the opportunity is right, I will invite him to tea before the battle. ”

Sima Yi was puzzled, holding it with both hands: "What does this mean?" ”

"I don't have any other intentions, I just want to see what the eagle looks like. Wouldn't it be a pity to die in the midst of the chaos? ”

Tian Xin paused, and said: "Xia Li is not my work alone, Cao Pi wants to promote it in the world, let it go, there is no need to hide people's eyes and ears to establish a nondescript Xia principality." You go back and tell him that the more direct things in the world, the better. ”

Sima Yi looked at Yang Zheng with puzzled eyes, and Yang Zheng spoke up: "Yes, I will also help Ashin relay this sentence." ”

Tian Xin turned his head sideways to look at Yang Zheng, raised his hand and touched his comfortable short hair, shook his head and smiled, got up and left.

Yu Zhong also picked up his sword and left, Yang Zheng looked sad, and just hung his head and sighed slightly, sighing out of his sorrow.

What can I do?
