Chapter 253: Condolences to the Princess
Approaching the Spring Festival, Wei Shuo was busy socializing all day long, and he couldn't be idle for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
finally got free after the New Year, but unexpectedly, the prospective mother-in-law, Princess Xin'an, unfortunately passed away.
On the same day, Wei Shuo wore plain clothes, prepared a heavy gift, and went to the palace to condole.
Wang Xian's house is located in the southeast of Jiankang City Wuyi Lane, I heard that this was the former Wu forbidden army station, because the Wu forbidden army at that time were wearing black clothes and black armor, so this place is called Wuyi Lane.
With the Jin Dynasty Nandu, Wuyi Lane gradually became a gathering place for Nandu families, and dignitaries led by Langya Wang and Chenjun Xie lived here.
When I came to the gate of the palace, I saw a white lantern hanging on both sides of the eaves, and only a black king character was written on it.
Wei Shuo carefully adjusted his shirt and bast shoes, then nodded at Liu Muzhi and motioned for the other party to come forward and knock on the door.
There was a knock on the door, and the door creaked open.
Yifang leaned out half of his body with the sound, and at a glance he saw Wei Shuo, who was dressed in plain clothes and looked solemn, as well as Liu Muzhi and Kang Long behind him and more than a dozen guards.
Seeing that only the porter came out to receive him, Wei Shuo couldn't help frowning.
According to etiquette, Wang Xianzhi has no queen, and it should be the descendants of other Wang families who come to welcome him, and he can't get his turn to be in a room.
Wei Shuo couldn't bear it, walked into the mansion with his head held high, and saw a piece of vegetarian in his eyes.
After walking through the hall of three entrances, I soon walked to the main hall of the plain layout, and when I entered the door, I saw the tablet placed in the middle.
Immediately, Wei Shuo stepped forward, knelt on his knees, folded his hands on his forehead, and then straightened, and at the same time bent over, his hands and body were prostrate on the ground.
Silent for a while, then straighten up, do it again, and so on three times in a row.
After the salute, the king knelt beside him to thank him.
Seeing Wang Shenai kneeling beside him alone, he couldn't help but feel pity, and at the same time hated the Son of Heaven and the Wang family.
It is said that Sima Daofu, as a royal princess and the wife of the famous king, should not be so simple and deserted even if his funeral is not a big deal.
The reason why it is the current situation may be related to the destruction of the marriage between the Langya Wang family and the royal family during her lifetime.
Although Sima Daofu let his daughter jump out of the fire pit, he also deeply offended the Son of Heaven and the Langya Wang family.
So much so that there was no clan and the children of the Langya Wang family who came to the door to offer condolences.
Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo couldn't help but sneer secretly.
It's not that he wants to come forward to seek justice for Sima Daofu, but he is mocking the depravity and corruption of the family.
If Wang Dao, Yu Liang, Huan Wen, Xie An and others are not only family interests, but also have the idea of Jiangshan Sheji in their hearts.
Today's family has completely degenerated into people who only know how to fight for power and profit, so they don't care about the society and the people, and only want to keep the family's powerful position.
No wonder the Eastern Jin Dynasty was easily usurped by Liu Yu in history, but there is no successor to the family, how can he be the opponent of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty?
After the ceremony, Wang Shenai looked at Wei Shuo with tears in his eyes, and tears rained down before he could speak.
Little Lori choked up and said: "Before I died, my mother repeatedly told me to let me go to Guzang to settle down with the Dadu escort after the funeral." ”
Looking at the poor Wang Shenai, Wei Shuo lowered his head.
He promised on the spot: "Don't worry, I will leave for Hexi in a few days, and someone will come to pick you up." ”
Before the words fell, I heard a creak, and the door was opened again, and four young men in plain clothes walked in.
None of these four people Wei Shuo has ever seen, but it can be seen from the faces of the four people that they should be four brothers.
Seeing that someone dared to come to the door to offer condolences, Wei Shuo couldn't help but be secretly surprised: Who was so bold that he didn't take the Son of Heaven and the Langya Wang family in his eyes?
"Sima Shangzhi, the king of Chen, came to the house with three brothers, wanting to kneel down and worship the tablet of the emperor's aunt."
Hearing that it was Sima Shang's four brothers, Wei Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Although the aura of the Sima family was almost exhausted by the ancestor Sima Yi and his son, so that there were more descendants in later generations, there were two idiot emperors alone.
But there are also smart and capable people like Sima Rui and Sima Shao, especially the King of Qian family.
The relationship between King Qian and the royal family is relatively estranged, and it comes from the line of Sima Yi's sixth brother Sima Jin.
Sima Shangzhi's great-grandfather Sima Cheng successively served as Fengche Du Lieutenant, Feng Chao Invitation, Guangwei General, Anyi Protector and other positions, and was one of the few people in the royal family who held military power at that time.
It's a pity that he unfortunately died in the Wang Dun Rebellion.
After Sima Cheng's death, his son Sima Wuji became the heir of the king, Sima Wuji was more fierce than his father, and he once followed Huan Wen into Shu to destroy the Han Dynasty.
And Sima Shang's father, Sima Tian, is also loyal, upright and talented.
At that time, the great Sima Huanwen deposed Sima Yi and supported Sima Yu, the king of Langya, to succeed him, and his power reached its peak, and there was no one in the royal family who was not afraid of him.
However, Sima Tian was young and fearless, and after Emperor Jianwen of Jin ascended the throne, he impeached Huan Wen for the crime of great disrespect.
Although Huan Wen held the power of the imperial court at that time, and this impeachment had no impact on him, both inside and outside the government and the opposition saw the power of this young clan.
So much so that Huan Wen couldn't help but sigh when he saw his recital.
"This kid actually dares to impeach me, it's really terrifying."
It is precisely because Sima Tian has fame, meritorious service, and the most important thing is that he has talent, so he has won the respect and dependence of Sima Yao, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, and has supervised Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Yangzhou's Jinling, Xuzhou's Nanbei County military, and concurrently served as the general of Zhenbei, Yanqing Erzhou Thorn History, and Fake Festival.
It's a pity that Sima Tian died two years ago, and it is precisely because of Sima Tian's death that there is no one in the clan who can check and balance Sima Daozi, making Sima Daozi's authority heavier.
Although Sima Tian died, his four sons were also extraordinary, and were successively feared by Huan Xuan and Liu Yu in history, and were brutally killed, but the youngest son Sima Xiuzhi fled north to Qin.
As the only member of the clan at that time, Sima Xiu fled, which was equivalent to sounding the death knell of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
It is said that Sima Xiuzhi is honest and does his duty, and he never thought about Liu Yu moving the knife in the open and in secret.
But in Liu Yu's eyes, he must die.
The reason is also very simple, Sima Xiuzhi is a clan, and his reputation is too good, he always works hard like an old scalper, no corruption, no bribery, no life style problems, during the governance of Jingzhou, the people praised him.
With such a prestigious clan, Liu Yu would certainly not rest assured, and the only way to kill it was to eliminate future troubles.
"Sima Shangzhi, Sima Huizhi, Sima Yunzhi, and Sima Xiuzhi meet Dadu Hu." The four of them bent down in unison.
"The four of you don't have to be polite, speaking of which, we are also relatives, there is no big protector or prince in the palace today, only the nephews and nephews who came to kneel down to worship their mother-in-law and aunt."
When the four of them heard this, they didn't expect that the world-famous Dadu Hu would be so amiable, and it was difficult to say anything, so they had to act according to Wei Shuo's words.
The king loves the young, and he is a woman, so it is inconvenient to entertain visitors.
As the saying goes, a son-in-law is like half a son, in this case, only Wei Shuo is the best.
At this time, Sima Shangzhi opened his mouth and said: "Dadu Hu, I'm really sorry!" Originally, I should have come to worship my aunt, but my brothers and I were also in the process of keeping filial piety, and there was a lag in the news, so I didn't come to worship until today, which was really neglectful. “
Wei Shuo remembered that Sima Tian had died only two years ago, and Sima Shang's brother was still keeping filial piety.
Perhaps it was because of the three years of filial piety that the four brothers of Sima Shang somehow got together with Sima Daozi.
Later, after his filial piety, Sima Shang's brother was not valued by Sima Yao at all, which was completely different from what happened to his father Sima Tian.
Until Sima Yao's death, and with the killing of Wang Guobao, Sima Shangzhi became Sima Daozi's confidant, and repeatedly helped Sima Daozi's father and son to relieve the military crisis in the capital when he was a former general, and his three younger brothers were also appointed to important positions.
It wasn't until later that Huan Xuan raised an army, and Sima Shang's army was defeated and killed.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuo's eyes rolled, and he felt that it was better to get Hexi to serve than to let them die in vain.
Especially Sima Xiuzhi, who was evaluated as capable by the history books, made him feel a pity.
"Shuo also delayed for two days to worship his mother-in-law due to the secular affairs of the imperial court, so there is no need for several brothers to feel guilty."
"In addition, Shuo has one or two more things that I would like to discuss with a few world brothers."
Sima Shangzhi hurriedly replied: "Please ask your Excellency to give me orders." ”
"In a few days, Shuo is ready to return to Hexi, and now I see a few brothers Feng Yi extraordinary, I am very happy, I want to invite one or two to go to Hexi with me to make contributions, I don't know what you think?"
