Chapter 11: The Most Promising Little Prince

Zhuangzi's Chu, see the empty skull. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

One of the stories in this story "Nanhua Sutra: Outer Chapter" tells the story of Zhuangzi on the way to Chu State when he met a skeleton, he took this skeleton as a pillow and fell asleep, in the middle of the night the skeleton dreamed of him, the two had a debate on life and death, Zhuangzi said that it could be resurrected and restored to its form, but the skeleton was very embarrassed and said, how can I abandon the happiness after death and experience the labor of the world again?

Sima Yu waited expectantly for Xie An's answer.

Xie An had already dragged out this person's information in his mind several times.

The sixth brother of the first emperor Sima Shao, the youngest brother, and the sixth uncle of Ah Yan.

In private, the children of the royal family are not too formal, and they are called uncles and nephews, or nicknames, like ordinary people, and only on formal occasions will they be called uncle, prince or uncle.

So Sima Yan called him Uncle Wang.

Sima Yu is famous, the same age as Xie An, he was named the king of Langyu at the age of two, Huiji and Xuancheng are his food, and the year he was crowned king happened to be the rebellion of Wang Dun, the Yuan Emperor Sima Rui loved this young son very much, so he and his mother Zheng Achun were sent to Huiji to live temporarily.

Later, Sima Rui was forced to death by Wang Dun, and the crown prince Sima Shao succeeded to the throne, and Sima Yu lived in Huiji with his mother until Sima Yu was six years old and his mother Zheng Achun died.

The Sima family rules the world with filial piety, this little prince is a model of filial piety, he asked for his mother's filial piety, guarded his mother's mausoleum for three years, and never stepped away from the cemetery.

This year, Sima Yu has served three years of filial piety, and when the emperor's brother Sima Shao passed away, he returned to Jiankang City.

The free cavalry is the emperor's close attendant, who is responsible for the high-level talents, admonishes the mistakes, and is also the emperor's adviser, and also rides a horse to disperse.

The nine-year-old little emperor, the ten-year-old little emperor's uncle, a group of ten-year-old attendants, these young men are like the buds and leaves of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are also like the flowers that have never bloomed in the lake.

Sima Yu is testing Xie An, is this considered a dozen or six? Xie Anxin smiled, among these people, except for Xun Xian, who had just reached a tie, they all seemed to be his friends, and they had exchanged and learned from each other a lot over the years.

Sima Yu repeated again, "I don't know what San Lang thinks?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xie An couldn't help lowering his voice and asking Sima Yu, "Is the little prince used to living in seclusion, so he is not happy when he comes back?" ”

Sima Yu couldn't keep up with his rhythm, "I didn't ......"

Xie An said: "The paradise where the skeleton is located is the opposite of reality, the hardships of the human world, the words of Zhuangzi and the skeleton are the paradise for people who are troubled by the world to seek liberation, such as Penglai Pavilion on the path of metaphysical cultivation...... The little prince chose this article, if the mood is not depressed, then he has the idea of detaching himself from the burden and abandoning fame and fortune. ”

Sima Yu showed his face, "San Lang's reputation is just an idea, if this king really wants to abandon the world, he will not be called to come to assist the emperor, but it is indeed my wish to live in seclusion in the mountains and stay away from the world, San Lang is very smart, just by choosing sentences, I can find out the king's state of mind......"

Others saw that the two were humbling and praising each other, and then talked about the customs of Huiji, because the county where Xie An lived back then was also in Huiji County, the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, which can be described as beautiful and graceful, and beyond the world.

Empress Dowager Yu and the ministers present heard that this was Sima Yu taking this opportunity to say that he was not interested in getting involved in the political situation.

Because Sima Yu is Yuanzong's favorite young son, if he hadn't left Jiankang early, otherwise Sima Yi, the old ancestor, would have pushed him to sit on the throne of the King of God.

Fortunately, he was young, and the Empress Dowager Yu couldn't help but think, now it seems that this little boy is not keen on power and wants to leave Jiankang early, but unfortunately Sima Yi refuses to let go, under the pretext that the little emperor needs someone to assist.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Yu took a breath of relief and put five little talents beside Sima Yan as auxiliaries.

Xie An and Sima Yu chatted eloquently, and Sima Yu suddenly said: "I heard an anecdote in Huiji, it is about Xie Jia Saburo, are you interested?" ”

Sima Yan nodded again and again, "Of course I'm interested, Ahri rarely tells me interesting things about him in the countryside." ”

"I was so young that I forgot about it." Xie An was a little confused.

"When San Lang's brother Xie Wuyi was an official in Yan County, he once punished a sinner, and the punishment was alcohol, and the old man was drunk Xie Wuyi still let him drink, at that time San Lang was only four years old, and he felt that the old man was pitiful, and persuaded the brother not to let the old man drink, and then Xie Wuyi was no longer angry, so he let the old man go." Sima Yu praised, "San Lang is kind. ”

"That old man is a habitual offender, and my brother is angry and pitiful to him, so he only punishes him with alcohol, and if he does hard labor, he is afraid that this old man will not be able to stand it." Xie An didn't say anything about himself, but said, "My brother is the one who is truly kind-hearted and compassionate and respects the law." ”

Sima Yu smiled and said, "San Lang is too modest. ”

The teenagers talked and debated lively, putting the adults aside, He Chong, as the initiator of the first test, made eye contact with Yu Liang at the moment, and then said: "The words of Zhuangzi selected by Xiaolangjun all have their own styles, but Xie Jiasanlang's poems and books are very good, but the words in the selected "Speaking of Swords" are not suitable for the lord. ”

Xie An thought that Hu Zhi and they were all talking about life just now, but he was talking about kendo, so naturally he would not be pleasant, "Yes, I have some digressions." ”

Wang Jing and Lu Na said solemnly: "But poetry and calligraphy are already above us. ”

Others agreed.

Gu Yuezhi was very strange, "Ahri, you have been missing for half a year, could it be that you also practice calligraphy?" ”

Xie An said truthfully: "Well, although there is paper and ink practice, it is too expensive, so I often use branches to write in the sand." ”

The children were amazed and admired.

However, Xie An shook his head, "But writing in the sand does not help progress, because paper is different from the sand after all, my grass is practiced before, but I always have no artistic conception, and now I can write the charm, thanks to the arbitrary writing on the sand." ”

Wang Huzhi pondered for a moment and said: "The foundation of writing is naturally important, but the charm and mood when writing are also important. ”

The boys pondered, as if pondering their own words.

Is this a tie? Adults think it's a bit rash.

The young men didn't care too much, and were anxious to know the next competition option, just because their peers had shown their own style in the past few years, but Xie An was always unexpected, and this time half of "Chivalrous Travel" and a hand-held grass made them both enthusiastic and convinced.

What's next is what matters.

But Sima Yu spoke before Yu Liang.

"I heard that the Xiaolang gentlemen are competing today, I wonder if San Lang can talk to this king's hand about a game?"

Poetry, writing, playing, playing the piano...... These elegant things are the preferences and pastimes of literati for thousands of years, and in the Jin Dynasty, when scholars were romantic, they were necessary skills for the children of the family to become famous, and they also had to talk about it.

Fortunately, this little prince does not want to talk and debate with himself, the poems and words have already been shot, and now there are chess and piano left, in fact, he doesn't mind the test riding and shooting, however, the scholars don't like it, because it is not elegant and dusty.

Xie An responded, and then the little emperor Sima Yan spoke, "Queen Mother, I also want to play chess with Xiao Langjun." ”

Seeing this, Bian Wangzhi proposed to play in pairs.

Sima Yu and Xie An, Sima Yan and Wang Jing, Wang Huzhi and Lu Na, Gu Yuezhi and Xie Wan.

Xun Xian was left, and he said that he would wait for Xie An and compete with him for a game.

Did this kid get caught up with him? Xie An was speechless.

The atmosphere of the game was not intense, and there was no smell of gunpowder, the Yu brothers and sisters were a little lost, yes, because they ignored a problem, Xie An was too familiar with this group of teenagers, although Xie An could beat them every time, but it would not make them jealous, but the relationship was getting better and better.

Because every time Xie An analyzed his experience and experience of progress with them, the teenagers communicated with each other and did not hide their selfishness.

Except for Xie An, he did not confess Wang Xizhi, the master.

Xun Xian, who originally muttered that he wanted to try a match with Xie An, also seemed to have a good impression of him.

Looking at the appearance of the teenagers concentrating on the game, He Chong suddenly said faintly: "If the Xie family Saburo is by the side of the little master, it is really unsettling." ”

Yu Liang is He Chong's brother-in-law, and the two have a good relationship, and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

He Chong said thoughtfully: "Because his words and deeds can easily affect the people around him, even if you are very angry with him, but it won't be long before you admire him very much, such a person, I met one when I was a teenager." ”

Yu Liang asked inexplicably, "Who?" ”

He Chong felt that Yu Liang was a little sluggish, "Don't you think he looks like Brother Maohong?" ”

Maohong is the word of Wang Dao.

Yu Liang thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, the Xie family Saburo can't stay with the little lord, if he is instigated and influenced, there will be endless troubles." ”

……

The adults here were whispering, while Sima Yu and Xie An were whispering.

Sima Yu was talking about the eldest princess taking the initiative to go to the cemetery for Sima Yan to guard her filial piety.

Xie An thought of this princess's out-of-the-box temperament, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, the first emperor Sima Shao had two sons and three daughters, and the eldest princess was only twelve years old......

There are really few people in the Sima family who can use it, otherwise the little prince Sima Yu would not have deliberately expressed his desire to stay away from the world to the Empress Dowager Yu and Yu Liang in the audience through the story of "Zhuangzi Sees the Skeleton".

After all, at the moment, the Sima clan was eaten to death by the Yu clan, and the two old princes of Sima Yi and Sima Zong, although they could compete with Yu Liang with the edict of the previous emperor, they were still no match for the many people in the court.

So now can you only bundle Sima Yu in this Jingshi? After all, size is also king.

But as far as Xie An is concerned, this little prince of the same age as himself is very promising, the reputation of filial piety spreads all over Jiangzuo, and I heard that he is a talented person with both civil and military skills, and he writes good calligraphy, although he did not enter the weak fish pond because of seclusion, but Xie An saw that the words he just wrote on the paper were very good.

"San Lang has a word?"

"I haven't got a word, what about the little prince?"

Sima Yu looked at the chessboard, paused for a moment before he said: "My father was trapped in the palace back then, and he didn't forget to give me a font number, San Lang can call me Daowan in the future, but I see that you and the lord are called by a small name, but I am a little jealous of your friendship." ”

"The little prince is filial piety, he is a model of celebrities and gentlemen, you and A Yan are only estranged for a while, blood kinship, I can never compare with this."

"You can also call me Ah Yu in the future, we are the same age, if you are always in the palace, we can often play against each other in the future."

Xie An's eyes turned around on Sima Yu's face with a clear eye, and then fell in the breeze and cicadas, and Yun Qingfeng smiled lightly: "Who said that I would always be in the palace in the future?" ”
