At the end of February, Yang Ting returned to the army with Liu Yuan.

At the beginning of March, Sima Xin's only grandson, Sima Shang, the only youngest son of the prince Sima Huai, died of illness outside the palace.

All of a sudden, the court mourned, and all the ministers looked like they were so important, as if this child was such an important person to them, but it was such a child who made everyone sad, but he suffered a lot during his lifetime, his parents died early, he was confined outside the palace as the emperor and grandson, but there was no one to take care of the greetings, Yang Xianrong once wanted to do a little for this child, even if it was to send some food, it could also make him more comfortable, after hearing that he was sick, he also wanted to send the imperial doctor to heal, but he tried his best, There was no way to find out where the child lived.

The saddest thing is Sima Zhen, he forced his son to death with his own hands, and later learned that he wronged Sima, and he has always felt guilty, but he has no ability to take care of his grandson, but after all, he can't help at all.

"Everyone in the court is sad," Sima said angrily, "but I arranged for someone to bring my grandson close to the palace, but no one paid attention to it, or I replied to King Qi and refused to let me, and I was really angry." ”

"How can any of those people be truly sad? It's just for show. Yang Xianrong said sadly. She is an old acquaintance with Sima, Sima's temperament has changed greatly, but she has never been bad to her, she remembers this feeling, and wants to return it to his child, but the palace is a power field, she has no power and no power, after all, she can't even do such a little thing.

After Sima Zhen left, Yang Xianrong stood in front of the window, another year's spring came, everything recovered, full of vitality, but some lives will not be attached to this world because of such vitality, and those who should leave will leave after all.

"Brother Ma Yu, I'm sorry." Yang Xianrong muttered to the sky.

Su Chen put on a cloak for the sheep and said, "Although it is spring, the cold is still heavy, take care of your mother." ”

"Su Chen," Yang Xianrong sighed: "I always have a lot of feelings, Nian'er is a newborn life, but it is also for the mother's concern, just as Shang'er is also the concern of his father and mother, I have been thinking today, if the first prince has a spirit in the sky, knowing that the three children he loves have died before they reach adulthood, how sad it should be." ”

"Everyone has their own fate," Su Chen said in a low voice: "Niangniang can't blame herself for this." ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head, sighed and asked, "Is Zhang Hui back?" ”

After Sima Shangxue's death, Sima Zhen pleaded with the king of Qi to take the child back to the palace and be mourned by everyone. But Sima rejected the emperor's request on the grounds that there was nowhere to rest, and now there is another person living in the East Palace, and Sima Shang's mourning hall has fallen

It is indeed difficult to settle, so Sima found a courtyard outside the palace and set up a mourning hall for Sima Shang for the ministers to pay their respects.

Yang Xianrong first asked Feng Hang to go to Sima Shang's mourning hall to pray for the dead, and then asked Zhang Hui to go over to mourn in her name, and set off early in the morning, so it is said that he should come back for a while.

After lunch, Sima Xuanhua came to greet the sheep, and the two talked for a while. Sima Xuanhua has seen Sima Shang a few times, when he was still very young, sleeping in the arms of the nurse, looking very cute, but not long after he was born, something happened in the East Palace, and he has been missing since then.

"I sometimes think about it," Sima Xuanhua said, "Is it worth it for my mother to harm so many people in order to keep her power?" However, if you think differently and sit in her position, if you are not ruthless, you will only be eaten alive. How to choose between your own death and the death of others? ”

"One day, I might be like that." Yang Xianrong smiled and said, "Live for yourself." ”

Sima Xuanhua also smiled and said: "Of the four sisters, the eldest sister is the most mother, but she married the wrong person, I am the most favored by my mother, but she doesn't want me to be involved in the power struggle, if she doesn't have no choice in the end, she won't give me everything to explain." ”

"You're calling for life." Yang Xianrong said: "It is also my fate to enter the palace, and if we can talk in one place, we may have to call fate." ”

The two were talking, Zhang Hui finally came back, he sighed when he saw Yang Xianrong, and bluntly said that the emperor and grandson were pitiful. Yang Xianrong asked to know that Zhang Hui went to mourn, everything went well, but not long after, the king of Qi and the king of Hejian also went, in the mourning hall, the king of Hejian questioned the king of Qi, saying that the emperor and grandson were still there, and he preferred to choose someone else as the prince and confined the emperor and grandson, which led to the early death of the emperor and grandson, and asked him to kneel down to Sima Shang to ask for sin, and then go to the tomb of the prince to ask for sin, so as to comfort the prince's soul in the sky.

Sima eats this set, saying that Sima deliberately played right and wrong in the mourning hall, saying that his emperor and grandson were alive and shrunk their heads, and now that the person is dead, he is unhappy, and the poison of his heart can be seen in heaven and earth.

The two of them quarreled and called their own people and horses, and put them in two formations in the mourning hall, and confronted each other all morning, and then there was a bastard in the team of King Qi, I don't know if he was tired or annoyed, and he roared, and as a result, the two teams of men and horses immediately fought, and the mourning hall was dismantled, and even Sima Shang's coffin was heavily pushed to the ground, and the poor little man rolled out of the coffin, covered with dust.

There were many dead and wounded on both sides, and no one dared to go to mourn anymore, until the patrol guards arrived and persuaded the people on both sides, the king of Qi and the king of Hejian dispersed, leaving a corpse in one place, those patrol soldiers couldn't look at it, and helped clean up the mourning hall

didn't dare to leave, trembling and a few other people put the little emperor back into the coffin, and the nurse who had been taking care of the little emperor and grandson cried and scrubbed the little emperor and grandson again, changed into new clothes, and then covered the coffin again.

"This King of Qi," Yang Xianrong was so angry that his chest hurt: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself." ”

"But what does this King of the River want to do?" Sima Xuanhua asked puzzledly: "Do you have to make such a big contradiction?" Since the fire in the Taimiao, he has been-for-tat with King Qi, what does he want to do? ”

"He wants to win over people, what else can he do?" Yang Xianrong covered her chest, she didn't dare to imagine the appearance of Sima Shang falling out of the coffin, he was still a child, it was unfortunate to die at an early age, and it was really distressing to be involved in a fight when he died. Sima Wang, the king of Hejian, was waiting for the opportunity to exterminate the king of Qi, but he and the king of Qi entered Luoyang together, in the eyes of the courtiers, he and the king of Qi were in a group, so he urgently needed to cut off from the king of Qi and win over his own forces.

"Hide this from your father." Sima Xuanhua said: "He must not be able to stand such a big stimulus." ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head: "We can hide it, the king of Hejian can't hide it, he wants to seize the opportunity to tell the people of the world that the king of Qi treats the emperor and grandson harshly, and he clearly has a different heart, and he wants to call on the courtiers and unite the old ministers of the original Sima to fight back against Sima." Yang Xianrong sneered and continued: "This Sima is still smarter than Sima and knows the importance of people's hearts. ”

"So, my father?" Sima Xuanhua thought for a while and sighed: "It's also me who is too worried, and the culprit who caused the current situation is him." ”

Yang Xianrong thought about it, then asked Zhang Hui again, and said, "Can you see Feng Guoshi?" ”

"I see," Zhang Hui replied: "He asked Niangniang not to worry, he will deal with the aftermath of the emperor's grandson, and in addition, he also found an opportunity to explain to the king of Hejian, telling him not to act impulsively, only let him go to His Majesty, and ask for a generous burial of His Royal Highness with the gift of the imperial grandson." ”

"People are dead, why do you need these vain things?" Sima Xuanhua's eyes were red, and she thought of her long-ailing sister.

Yang Xianrong held Sima Xuanhua's hand and said: "If a person dies, it will be a hundred, and the rest of the things are done by living people, whether it is for others to see, or whether it is using dead people to make a profit for themselves, after all, you can't let go of a little opportunity." She glanced at Sima Xuanhua deeply and said, "Although Sima Shang is a child, the people in the court can use this child and His Majesty's grief to make a lot of articles. If one day, the second princess ......"

Sima Xuanhua's tears flowed down instantly, she nodded silently, and said, "I understand." ”
