Chapter 316: Visiting Sima's Family
Hanoi County, Wen County Wen County is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, is one of the earliest gathering places of the Chinese nation, there are many cultural sites in ancient times in the county, as early as the Xia Dynasty has been called Wen State, Shang Dynasty Zu Yi had built the capital here, the great Si Kou Su Xiansheng to Wen and other twelve Yi for the Su State, all in Wencheng; In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom set up a county here.
Although the history of Wen County is glorious, but today's Wen County, it is very ordinary, in addition to the gate valve headed by the Sima family, the other forces in the county are not very outstanding, especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Sima family also suffered heavy losses.
Speaking of the Sima family, it is impossible not to mention the most famous figure of the Sima family, Sima Yi, Sima Yi, born in 179 AD, a famous politician in the late Han Dynasty, a military strategist, the founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, and one of the most successful usurpers in history.
The first half of Sima Yi's life was mediocre, because Cao Ying had been deliberately suppressing, although he saw Sima Yi's ambitions, but he was reluctant to get rid of Sima Yi, which led to the fall of the Cao dynasty in the end.
Today's Sima Yi is only a five-year-old child, under the leadership of Sima Fang, Liu Tai walked into the high-walled compound of the Sima family, since he came to Hanoi County, Liu Tai naturally wants to meet this Sima Yi, Sima Yi's ability is comparable to Zhuge Liang, if it can be used, Liu Tai will naturally not let go, if it can't be used
After entering Sima's Mansion, not long after, Liu Tai and Sima Fang saw that in a small pavilion not far in front of them, there were several children sitting, and the leader was a young man who looked to be more than ten years old, the young man was dressed in green, sitting on the lower right and reading something aloud, and the few below him were relatively young, and one of them even looked like he had just turned one year old
"Ahem, why don't you come and see the God King soon?" Walking a step behind Liu Tai, Sima Fang saw several children in the pavilion, reading books carefully, and couldn't help but flash a look of relief in his eyes, but his face maintained the majesty of a father, and he coughed lightly and said.
"God-king??" The crowd led by the young man didn't seem to be surprised when they saw Sima Fang coming, and they were still reading aloud intently, but when they heard the name of the god king, they were all stunned
"Father, what did you say??" The young man is the eldest brother of everyone, much better than the children who sat down, after coming back to his senses, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly drove all the younger brothers forward, bowed down in front of Sima Fang, and said.
"Huh?" Sima Fang took a step back slightly, highlighting Liu Tai in front of him, after all, Sima Fang today is actually Liu Tai's courtier, and Jing Zhaoyin's position has been dismissed by the imperial court as early as when Chang'an fell.
"Lang'er, why don't you salute the God King?" Seeing Sima Lang's stunned look, Sima Fang was not angry, he glanced at Sima Lang, and said with obvious intentions.
"Huh?? Yes, yes" Seeing the anger flashing on Sima Fang's face, Sima Lang was suddenly shocked, then turned his head to look at Liu Tai, who had been silent, bowed down and said: "Sima Lang of the grass people has seen the God King on behalf of his younger brothers, and he also asked the God King to forgive the younger brothers for not knowing how to perform the courtesy. ”
"Get up" Liu Tai responded lightly, his eyes were firmly fixed on a little boy on Sima Lang's left, the little boy's eyes were bright, his eyes flashed with a faint golden light, the tip of his nose was high, his lips were very thin, and his black hair was draped over his small shoulders.
"Your Highness, this is the second son of the lowly Sima Yi, if the courtesy is insufficient, please don't blame Your Highness" Feeling Liu Tai's gaze and the dead atmosphere, Sima Fang couldn't help but touch the cold sweat on his forehead, stepped forward and bowed his hand and said.
"It's okay, this child, this king likes it very much, if you want, this king is going to take Sima Yi to the Shenhou Mansion to cultivate." Liu Tai glanced at Sima Fang and said lightly, but Liu Tai's tone was a little unrefusable, as if Sima Fang would come hard as long as he didn't agree.
"Your Highness, this child is still young, isn't it" Sima Fang smiled bitterly and took Sima Yi to the Shenhou Mansion for cultivation, Sima Fang naturally couldn't ask for it, but did this come too suddenly? And there was no warning at all, Sima Fang's heart was a little bottomless.
In fact, Sima Fang didn't think about bringing Liu Tai to Sima's house at all, nor did he think that Liu Tai would take the initiative to come to Sima's house to have a look, but Liu Tai took the initiative to put it forward, Sima Fang dared to refuse, Liu Tai's request, even if it was the current Son of Heaven, did not dare not agree.
Therefore, very helplessly, Sima Fang took Liu Tai into Sima's house, and Liu Tai proposed to meet Sima Fang's sons, since he came, Sima Fang naturally didn't think much about it, just see it, isn't it just a few older children? But Sima Fang never expected that Liu Tai would be interested in Sima Yi, Sima Yi looks much more flexible than Sima Lang, he is Sima Fang's favorite son, and he is also Sima Fang's old mother's favorite grandson, if he is taken away by Liu Tai, how can Sima Fang explain to his old mother?
"What, can't you?" Liu Tai looked at Sima Fang, a cold light flashed in his eyes, although Sima Yi has the ability, but if he can't win his command, Liu Tai will consider getting rid of Sima Yi in advance, a person with great ambitions like Sima Yi, no matter which monarch will not like it, let alone Liu Tai who knows what Sima Yi has done in his life?
"This" Sima Fang was sweating profusely, glanced at Sima Yi, and then looked at Liu Tai, and couldn't squeeze out a fart for a long time.
"God King, why did you take the kid to the Divine Mansion? Yi'er wants to stay at home and serve her grandmother, and asks the god king to fulfill it. Seeing that Sima Fang was embarrassed, Sima Yi, who was naturally smart and clever, said to Liu Tai, looking very simple, just to stay at home.
"Huh?" Liu Tai slowly lowered his body, looked at Sima Yi, a trace of an ugly smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Yi'er, do you know that if you go to Northern Xinjiang, you will get things that you can't think of in your life, stay in this Sima family, your whole life may be mediocre, do you really want to do this?" ”
Sima Yi heard Liu Tai's words, his eyes brightened, but then he darkened for some reason, looked at Liu Tai, held his mouth, and said a little aggrieved: "Yi'er wants to go to Northern Xinjiang, and I want to go to Huacheng even more, but my grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, and Yi'er can't bear to grandmother."
"Hahaha, who do you think it is, it turns out to be His Royal Highness the God King." Suddenly, from a corner not far from the pavilion, an old man with gray hair appeared, although the old man had pale hair, but his face was as immature as a baby, and he walked in the direction of Liu Tai with a smile on his face.
"Sima Hui?" Liu Tai frowned slightly, a little bad premonition, Sima Yi must be taken away, stay in the Sima family, maybe he will be trained into a generation of conspirators in the future, and when the time comes, it will be the people of the Han family who will suffer.
"Xiaomin Sima Hui has seen His Royal Highness the God King" Sima Hui walked to Liu Tai with a smile and bowed to Liu Tai.
Liu Tai didn't dare to hold it up, so he bowed to Sima Hui and said: "Student Liu Tai has seen Mr. Sima, Mr. Sima doesn't need to be polite, just call the student's real name."
"Hey, how does this make your Highness now, but now the god king above the tens of thousands of people today, the old man doesn't have the courage to accept the god king's salute." Seeing Liu Tai actually saluting himself in public, Sima Hui suddenly turned around in shock, now Liu Tai's identity is not ordinary, if he is seen by someone with a heart, he will inevitably have trouble again.
"Mr. Sima said with a smile, once he is a teacher, he is a teacher for life, and he has a sense of teaching in the past, how dare students forget?" When Sima Hui was in the Shenhou Mansion, he did give Liu Tai many instructions, as we all know, the ancient texts are complicated and difficult to understand, a thousand people have a thousand ways to explain, and Sima Hui naturally has his own ideas, under Liu Tai's request, Sima Hui did not dare to hide privately, and took out a lot of pen and ink in his chest.
"Hey, the past has passed, the old man is still the old man of the mountains, and the god king is the king of all the multipliers, how dare the old man climb high?" Sima Yi shook his head, and said out loud with a little emotion, a clan relative, the status of the king and the queen is very different, before the king, no matter what status, he is still the courtier of the Son of Heaven, and the queen is different, even the lowest-level king, can also be called a king, the king of ten thousand times in ancient times, in fact, refers to the princes and kings.
Liu Tai's face changed slightly, although the King of Ten Thousand Vehicles only referred to the king in ancient times, but now it refers to the Son of Heaven, but Liu Tai will not say anything, what is the difference between Liu Tai and the Son of Heaven today?
"Your Highness the God King, are you wearing the Red Sky Sword of Gaozu on your waist?" I saw Sima Yi looking at the sword on Liu Tai's waist with a ghostly face, and asked out loud curiously.
"Huh?" Liu Tai's face was pulled, what was speechless, what is the Chixiao Sword? Gaozu's sword, does Liu Tai dare to carry it? Although it is said that this sword is now considered Liu Tai's.
"Yi'er, this is the king's sword, and it has nothing to do with Gaozu." Squatting down, Liu Tai hooked the tip of Sima Yi's tall nose with his big hand, and said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the God King, it seems that I have heard that the God King wants to take Yi'er to the Northern Xinjiang to teach?" Seeing Liu Tai's kind look, Sima Hui didn't feel funny, but asked out loud with a heavy face.
"Huh? I wonder what Mr. Sima's opinion is? Liu Tai raised his head and looked at Sima Hui, smiled, a little unimpressed, even if Sima Hui wanted Sima Yi to stay?
"His Royal Highness the God King, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first, now Yi'er's grandmother is seriously ill, if Yi'er is taken away at this time, it is obviously a bit unreasonable, and I hope that the God King will temporarily leave Yi'er in Sima's house for the sake of the old man, and after a while, how about the old man personally send Yi'er to the northern Xinjiang?" Sima Hui saluted Liu Tai again, and what he said was noncommittal, after all, since ancient times, filial piety has been very valued by the world.
Liu Tai didn't speak, frowned and looked at Sima Yi, neither agreed to Sima Hui's request, nor said no, but when Liu Tai saw a sad look in Sima Yi's eyes, Liu Tai suddenly looked shocked, thinking that he might be a little unkind, after all, Sima Yi is only a five-year-old child now, if he is forced to take Sima Yi away, it may be self-defeating, and the seeds of hatred for Liu Tai will be planted in Sima Yi's heart.
