Chapter 12: Tu Yi

Sima Wang, whose ancestors were nobles of the Chen State. Chen was a vassal state under the Zhou Dynasty, and the monarch was surnamed Yu Shun. King Wu cut down the Emperor and married his eldest daughter Da Ji to the son of the father, Concubine Man, and prepared three Ke to show respect and worship Yu Shun. What is Sanke, the new Zhou Dynasty, the first three generations of descendants of Fengyu, Xia and Shang, Yu Chen, Qi and Song, gave the duke the name and called Sanke. Later emperors also inherited the system of three disciplines.

Chen State, the first capital was built in Zhuye, and later moved the capital to Wanqiu, under the jurisdiction of 14 yi. It lasted for 25 generations and lasted for 567 years. In 478 BC, King Hui of Chu took the Gongsun Dynasty as his general to crusade against the state of Chen, and the state of Chen was destroyed. After the death of the Chen State, people of insight were unwilling to be the people of the country and were forced to relocate. Among them, Chen Wan, the son of Chen Guo, migrated to Qi State, and his descendant Tian He replaced Jiang surnamed Qi State in 386 BC.

The ancestor of the Sima Wang clan migrated to the Jin Kingdom. Later, the Jin Kingdom was divided by the Han, Zhao and Wei families, and the ancestors left the Zhao State in vain. Because of his great military exploits, Sima was affected. His ancestors simply abandoned the surname of the dead country and reverted to the surname Sima.

In 354 B.C., the king of Wei took Pang Juan as the general to besiege Handan, the grandfather of the Sima Wang clan, and died in the battle of the Wei army. His father, on the orders of the Marquis of Zhao Su, guarded the Chongyi Lishi west of Jinyang, the old capital of Zhao State. The Qin army crossed the Yellow River to the east, occupied the city of Lin of Zhao, and advanced to Lishi. His father took the lead and died in the battle against the Qin army. Sima's huge family has reached the generation of Sima Wang's family, and the number of people is scarce. The former Sima family had nothing but a prominent surname.

Zhao Yong walked to the outer hall and saw a handsome young man standing in the hall, looking handsome and elegant, and shouted: "Wangshi, you are finally back." ”

Sima Wang was dressed in military uniforms and wore a purple crown. Holding a sword in his hand, he knelt down and said, "Wang, I've seen the prince." ”

Sima Wang's family kept filial piety for his deceased father for three years, closed doors, and would not be guests. When the spiritual period expired, he returned to the palace and met the king. Sima Wang's body shape is similar to Zhao Yong's, but three years of polishing have made him a little less childish and a little more stable.

Mu Jian coughed lightly as a reminder. Sima Wangzu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and changed his words: "No, no. It should be called Junshang. ”

Zhao Yong didn't care about what Sima Wangzu said, he walked over and punched the other party's chest, "I haven't seen you for three years, but I have grown a lot stronger." ”

Zhao Yong gestured with his hand and said embarrassedly: "Wang, you have grown taller." ”

Sima Wangzu stared at Zhao Yong, with a bit of sentimentality in his eyes. In the past three years since leaving the palace, a lot has happened in Zhao State. Despite this, the friendship between them remains the same. Zhao Yong understood something from Sima Wang's eyes. In his eyes, he said with sadness: "Three years ago, I was still the prince. The monarch's father is still here, and General Sima is also there. Three years later, General Sima went. Father, too, is gone. I, from the crown prince to the king. In the past three years, too many people and things have changed. ”

Sima Wang, seeing the king, not only remembered himself, but also thought about his dead father, and said gratefully: "The king still remembers his father." Under the nine springs of my father, it is time to smile. ”

Zhao Yong waved his hand and swept away the melancholy, "Don't talk about these sad and sad things." It's great that you're back. Later, I had an extra helper by my side. ”

Mu Jian shouted: "Your Majesty, the three of us can be together again." ”

Zhao Yong was speechless when he heard this, and corrected: "It's to get together, not to be together again." ”

Mu Jian scratched his head and said, "Among the three, my knowledge is the worst. ”

Zhao Yong couldn't help him, so he said helplessly: "If you don't have good knowledge, don't talk nonsense." Those who know think we have a good relationship. Those who don't know think that they are widows..."

Mu Jian pleaded guiltily: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. ”

Sima Wang's family cleaned up their sad emotions, "The first monarch passed away, and the five kingdoms of Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan waited for an opportunity to attack our country in the name of condolences. Your Majesty, at the expense of the weak national strength, dared to use the power of one country to fight against the powerful lineup of the five countries. And crushed the conspiracy of the Five Nations. Your Majesty, you're too powerful. ”

"Me, what's so powerful. Defending against foreign enemies and breaking the five kingdoms are all the virtues of the ancestors and the merits of the ministers. You don't know. During that time, I was very afraid? It is also, the most tormenting. ”

Mu Jian interjected: "Sima Wang, it's a pity that you haven't been able to witness the demeanor of the monarch when he inherited the throne. ”

Sima Wangzu sighed: "Just after the filial piety period, I rushed back. Unfortunately, it still failed to catch up. ”

"If you have a heart, you can do it." Zhao Yongdao.

Mu Jian saw that Jun Shang was in a happy mood, and took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, you also give the Wang clan an official talent." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Zhao Yong said to Mu Jian, "Tonight, the widow will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Wang clan, you go and prepare." ”

Mu Jian smiled and said, "I, I'll arrange it." ”

Zhao Yong set his eyes on Sima Wang's clan and asked very seriously: "Wang's clan, what official do you want?" I promise you to be. ”

Sima Wangzu was stunned for a while, and Fang said: "I only want to accompany you." ”

Zhao Yong, after a pause, said, "Why are there so many restraints." You can let go of it, we are called kings and ministers, and we are really brothers. Do not destroy brotherhood because of worldly rituals. ”

Sima Wangzu arched his hand and said, "Huh." ”

Zhao Yong plans to reminisce with the Wang family alone and get drunk again. I haven't seen each other in three years, and they always have a lot to say. After all, Han Zhong served two generations of monarchs of the Zhao State. When he saw that the monarch had set up a banquet for the Sima Wang clan, he had already guessed the king's thoughts, and took the initiative to propose: "Your Excellency, why don't you invite Xiangbang, Sima, Guozhu and others to come to the banquet." Take this opportunity to introduce the Sima Wang clan to them. ”

Zhao Yongzheng had this intention and accepted his suggestion.

During the banquet, Mu Jian alone explained the conspiracy of Zhao Guopo and the Five Kingdoms. Sima Wang's family listened with great interest because he missed it. Zhao Yong drank wine and praised it: "Okay, it's good." ”

Mu Jian was rewarded by the king, and he worked harder, and what he said was also vivid. When Sima Wangzu heard this, he regretted even more, as a big Zhao man, he couldn't come to this grand occasion in person, and he had regrets in his heart.

Zhao Yong, looking around at His Royal Highness, raised the bottle and said, "Everyone, please." ”

The ministers, raising the wine bottle, responded in unison: "Your Majesty, please." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Yong put down the wine bottle and asked, "Wang, I haven't seen you for three years, your swordsmanship has improved." ”

Sima Wangzu put down the wine bottle and saluted: "Your Majesty, I will cheer you up with a sword dance." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yongsizhi shook his head and said: "Dancing by one person is inevitably boring." ”

"Your Majesty, announce a few guards and play with them." Han Zhong stood aside and said softly.

Zhao Yong's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "Just do as you say." ”

Han Zhong clapped his hands high-five. Four strong men, wearing armor and holding long swords, walked in, saluted Zhao Yong, and said loudly: "Your Majesty." ”

Han Zhong said to the four of them, "The deputy palace guard envoy is playing with the sword dance. ”

The palace guard is Tu Yi, but the guards know. However, I have never heard of a deputy lieutenant. Several people looked at each other, you stared at me, and I looked at you, without a clue. Fei Yi and Li Dui are people who understand, and when they saw that the king arranged this banquet, they already understood the mystery. Xiangbang Zhao Bao, although he knew that this move was absurd, he also understood the status of the young man in front of him in the heart of the king, and he did not stop it. The eldest priest Kou Gongzicheng showed a look of contempt and a dissatisfied face.

Zhao Yong saw that no one had any miscellaneous discussions, and said: "Wang clan, if you win against them, the deputy palace guard will be yours." ”

Sima Wangzu said confidently: "Your Majesty, the deputy palace guard, I am decided." ”

Zhao Yong saw the confidence blooming in his eyes, and said with a smile: "After defeating the four guards, it's not too late to say such things." ”

Sima Wang's clan came out of the ranks and calmly walked into the temple. The four guards quickly surrounded and stood in four directions: southeast, northwest, and north. Han Zhong raised his voice and said, "The competition begins." ”

"Several, please." In Sima Wang's tone, there is a bit of chivalrous style.

The guards standing in the north saw that the opponent was a child. His eyes were full of disappointment. He thought to himself that he wanted to end this pointless competition as soon as possible. So, he gave orders to the remaining three, and the other three understood and quickly attacked. When Sima Wang's clan saw the guards attacking, they were agile, like fish, shuttling between the four of them. In a few rounds, Sima Wang's clan snatched the sharp blade from the guard's hand.

Earlier, the guard had seen the blade in his hand taken away, and his eyes were full of consternation. The power of the four failed to subdue the child, but was robbed of the blade by the opponent. In addition to being stunned, he also woke up to the fact that they lost this competition.

Guozhu Zhao Ding, clapped his hands and praised, and said in a steady voice: "Okay." Sure enough, it was a hero who came out of a teenager. ”

The quiet hall was covered with applause. Sima Wangzu saluted Zhao Yong.

"Okay." Zhao Yong was happy in his heart, "You guys go down." ”

The guards said in unison, "Wow." ”

"Carving insect skills, dare to show it." Gongzicheng played with the wine bottle, and at the same time used a soft and soft tone to reflect the great dissatisfaction in his heart.

When Zhao Yong heard this, he strongly suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and said calmly: "Uncle, you have something to say." ”

"If you defeat a few guards, you can appoint a deputy palace guard. Isn't the palace guard envoy, and the reckless man can get it. Gongzi Cheng said casually: "The inner court armor can be one enemy and two. Four guards were defeated by a doll. In the last few words, Gongzi Cheng deliberately raised his voice, one of which was to anger the palace guard Tu Yi and force him to personally teach Sima Wang a lesson. Second, it implicitly expressed that this competition was cheated by the guards, and the Sima Wang clan was not martial.

Zhao Yong was young, how could he hear such harsh words. was about to have a seizure at the moment, but I saw Han Zhong throwing a look at him that was not easy for others to detect. Zhao Yong was silent and looked at the ministers present. Indeed, he chose to go his own way and appointed Sima Wang as the deputy envoy of the palace guard, which would not only be difficult to convince the public, but also cause more trouble. He warned himself that if he was calm, calm, and calm, there would definitely be a way to serve the public.

Tu Yi is a loyal and righteous man. But it has a fatal flaw, that is, it likes its own face too much. His * guards are all brave with one enemy and two enemies. Now, the four guards were defeated by a yellow-haired child, and their own faces must not be able to hang up. In addition, Gongzi Cheng instigated with words, and Tu Yi was already furious.

"Captain Tu, your * guard, is so unbearable." Gongzicheng's purpose is to let Tu Duwei take action personally. Sima Wang's clan won, and Tu Yi's face was gloomy; The defeat of the Sima Wang clan can also break the spirit of the new monarch. No matter who wins, which side it is, there is no harm to Gongzicheng. In this competition, the winner is none other than him.
