Chapter 132: The King of the East China Sea Enters Beijing
In mid-June, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, entered Luoyang City. Of course, the prosperity of Luoyang City is not comparable to the East China Sea, this is the capital of the Jin Dynasty, not to mention the rows of luxurious courtyards, not to mention the pedestrians and horses who come and go, even if it is a clean road, the prosperous market also makes Sima Yue raise the corners of his mouth.
Sima Yue first returned to the mansion that Sima Yi had prepared for himself, the specifications of this mansion were not lower than his mansion in the East China Sea, and everything in it was all purchased, and he knelt on the ground outside the courtyard of the lower courtyard, all welcoming the arrival of this master. Sima Yue was very satisfied, which showed that Sima Yi was sincere in welcoming him over, and he didn't know his true intention of coming here.
Along the way, Sima Yi simply explained a few words to the people in the courtyard, and asked Wu Zheng to arrange the guards in the house, and then went to bathe and change clothes. There was no time to eat, so Sima Yi changed into court clothes and hurried into the palace on horseback.
Sima Yue had already greeted him at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Sima Yue coming, he immediately put up a smile and took two steps forward, Sima Yue rode to Sima Yi, and after dismounting, he gave him a big salute, and said respectfully: "Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, has seen the auxiliary king. ”
"Hurry up." Sima Yi helped Sima Yue up with one hand, and said with a smile: "In the future, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, so you really don't have to be so polite." After that, he made a gesture of "please", greeted Sima Yue to the palace, and said, "Let's go and meet the saint first." ”
Sima Yue bowed slightly, followed Sima Yi to the palace, along the way, the two kept greeting, nothing more than to say something about the customs of the East China Sea and Luoyang, Sima Yi asked Sima Yue if he was uncomfortable when he first arrived in Luoyang, and he didn't have to be polite if there was anything missing in the house, he would tell people to hurry up and prepare. The two talked cordially, and there was no strangeness at all, as if the two had been friends for a long time, but they had only been separated for a few years.
In the Taiji Palace, Sima Zhen was waiting anxiously, he didn't want any Sima Yue to come from the East China Sea, but now that people are coming, he has to meet him decently, troublesome, really troublesome. He crooked on the couch, yawning one after another, and finally someone came to report that Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, asked to see him.
Sima Cheng cheered up, tidied up his clothes, sat upright, and saw Sima Yi and Sima Yue come in hand in hand, Sima Yi made a deep gesture to Sima Cheng and then stood aside, while Sima Yue knelt on the ground, and seriously bowed to Sima Cheng three times and nine bows, and then said: "Minister, Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live my emperor." ”
"Aiqing is flat," Sima Zhen hurriedly said: "Aiqing has worked hard all the way. ”
"The ministers are loyal to His Majesty, and they dare not speak bitterly." Sima Yue raised his head slightly, and quietly glanced at Sima Zhen, the emperor was full of red light, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and the fat on his chin was falling, so he couldn't see his neck. Sima Yue frowned, the first emperor was wise and martial, and the Quartet was impressed, how could he choose such a fool to inherit the throne?
Sima Yue said "hehe" twice, glanced at Sima Yi, and said: "Aiqing's entry into Beijing was greatly promoted by the King of Changsha, and I am very relieved to have you two take care of the government in the future." After saying that, he said "hehe" twice, and then looked at the king of Changsha.
Sima Yue always has to meet the saint when he enters Beijing, but it is just a process, and the process is almost here, so Sima Yi nodded slightly at Sima Zhen, Sima Zhen was immediately happy, this annoying work was finally done, and he was still in a hurry to go back to listen to the music and watch the dance, so he waved his hand and let the two leave on their own, and then left upside down.
Sima Yi pulled Sima Yue out of the Taiji Palace. When Sima Yue first entered Beijing, Sima Yi set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome him, and did not call outsiders, only two princes in Beijing who were still close to him, as well as Yang Ting and Feng Hang. Sima Yue didn't really want to eat this meal, but he also knew that this meal could not be shirked, until he heard the name "Feng Hang", he changed his mind, and he was curious about this person.
When they arrived at the Changsha Palace, the guests had already arrived, and everyone greeted Sima Yue in turn, which was considered to be acquaintance, but when they arrived at Feng Hang, Sima Yue pulled him up and said: "We are old friends, so we don't need to be so polite." He looked at Feng Hang with a smile and asked, "Mr. went to the East China Sea last time, I really wanted to talk to Mr. Bing Candle Night, but Mr. was in a hurry to return to Beijing, and now that I have come over, I will definitely find a chance to have a good chat with Mr. in the future." ”
"The prince carries love, Feng is afraid." Feng Hang said politely.
Sima Yue laughed a few times, suddenly approached Feng Hang, lowered his voice, and asked, "I don't know if Mr. still likes the gift he gave to Mr. last time?" This time, I brought some more with me, and if my husband is satisfied, I will send him some more. "591 net
As soon as he heard this, Feng Hang immediately had a headache, a deer sound had already made him not know what to do, and if there was one or even a few, he was afraid that he would have to escape from Luoyang City. Therefore, Feng Hang hurriedly waved his hand, smiled bitterly at Sima Yue, and said, "The prince is joking." ”
Several people looked at the two of them curiously, and suddenly saw Feng Hang's flushed face, this national teacher has always been trusted by His Majesty, and he is a master of word measurement, he has always been calm, and he doesn't even have many expressions on his face, how can he be so out of shape at this time?
Sima Yi asked, "What gift did the King of the East Sea give to Mr. Feng?" I'm curious, I wonder if I have the honor to ask for some gifts from the King of the East China Sea? ”
Sima Yue smiled and didn't speak, Feng Hang hurriedly said: "The king of the East China Sea loves tea, and he sent some good tea to the grass people, but the tea is expensive, and the grass people don't dare to ask for it again." ”
Everyone was suddenly enlightened, but Sima Yi didn't believe his words, if it was really tea, why did Feng Hang's face turn red like this? He suddenly remembered that a few days ago Qian went to the Xianyang Palace to find a sheep to offer a talk, and the person who made tea for the two was a young and beautiful girl, and the tea and tea were fragrant, so that Sima Yi never forgot it, and asked about the queen, only to say that it came from the East China Sea and was sent into the palace by Feng Hang. Now seeing Feng Hang and Sima Yue like this, I think that the girl is a gift from Sima Yue to Feng Hang.
Sima Yi beckoned everyone to the table, his eyes kept looking at Feng Hang and Sima Yue, he didn't know what happened between the two, and he didn't know how Feng Hang persuaded Sima Yue to enter Beijing, but there must have been some deal between them. Although Sima Yi only saw Sima Yue today, he had a feeling in his heart that this person was shrewd, and he was by no means as indisputable as rumored by the outside world, and now when he saw Feng Hang and his eyebrows again, Sima Yi suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. However, Feng Hang is a person who sacrifices his appearance, and he trusts him in Yang Xianrong, although she is a woman, she has a bearing comparable to that of a man, and she is reasonable and disciplined in her life and deeds, he does not believe that Yang Xianrong will betray him, so he temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and threw himself into the lively atmosphere of the banquet.
Yang Ting has always been a person who can warm up the scene, and now he is quite valued by Sima Yi, and among the people at this table, although his position is not high, he is the most active. He took the wine and toasted the king of the East China Sea, and said, "I have heard of the name of the prince, and it is an honor to have the opportunity to meet today." Do it first for respect. As he spoke, he drank the wine from his glass.
Sima Yue also drank the wine, he was very interested in this young man, so he asked, "Just now the king of Changsha introduced you, saying that you are now on an errand in the camp of the twelve guards?" Four-grade lieutenant? You can be appreciated by the king of Changsha, must be a talent, this king has no other hobbies, just love to make friends all over the world, today you respect my glass of wine I drank, we are friends, friends do not need to say much, in the future when there is a need to Xiao Wang, although the mouth is. ”
"More love from the prince." Yang Ting bowed his head slightly. At the same time that Sima Yue was interested in Yang Ting, Yang Ting also had a strong interest in Sima Yue, this prince had a smile on his face since he entered the door, and he seemed enthusiastic with everyone, but Yang Ting could clearly see that this person still treated people differently, just now, he was very different from Feng Hang, if it was because of the old acquaintance of the two, and now he is so enthusiastic and serious about him, I am afraid it will have another meaning.
"Don't look at him as a lieutenant now," Sima Yi glanced at Yang Ting with appreciation, and said to Sima Yi: "He is the elder brother of the Empress of Chaoyang, who served in Liu Yuan's army, and only returned to Beijing, and now the emperor and queen are in charge, and the princess of Hongnong County is assigned to him, almost next year, he will be the master of the court, His Majesty loves his daughter, and has already released the words, the official position of the son-in-law must not be just a four-grade captain, let the king look at it." Sima Yi said "haha" and laughed a few times, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that this kid really has some skills, I really don't know how to look at it." ”
When Sima Yue heard this, he looked at Yang Ting again, and then met his searching eyes. Sima Yue nodded and said, "It can be seen that the prince attaches great importance to our current uncle and the future master of the horse." ”
"The Yang family has a positive style, which can be seen from the Queen of the Sheep." Sima Yi continued: "Besides, this Yang Ting brother, with a good family background, but he is not like those gentlemen in the capital, he has been in Liu Yuan's army for many years, if it weren't for my strong invitation, he may not want to come back, speaking of which, if it weren't for his help, this king may not have the life to sit here and drink with you, the king of the East China Sea." ”
"Oh?" The King of the East China Sea asked in surprise, "But what happened?" ”
Sima Yi waved his hand: "We don't care about the affairs of the government today, and there will be an opportunity to say it in the future." Today, let's only drink wine and eat meat, make friends and talk heart-to-heart. ”
After the words, the banquet immediately became lively again, staggered, noisy, this banquet was not over until the sky was dark, everyone drank very happily, and when the banquet was over, they were all staggering, not distinguishing between north and south. Sima Yi was still sober, and let people take the token to find the city patrol Yushi, now that the curfew time has passed, a few teams of people walking on the road will definitely cause trouble, so first greeted the people patrolling the city, so that they can go home smoothly.
Facing the mansion that suddenly quieted down, Sima Yi suddenly sobered up, tomorrow, he had to go to the palace, he wanted to see Yang Xianrong and Feng Hang, he wanted to know clearly what these two people were planning in their hearts.
