Chapter 1 The Prince Who Sells Meat

In 291 AD, in the city of Luoyang, Yanjing, the Great Jin Dynasty, the east side of the imperial palace in the city was the east palace where the prince lived. There was a faint sound of doing business, who had the audacity to dare to buy and sell things in the palace?

But if you look closely, you will find that most of the eunuchs and palace maids who come and go here are deaf to this matter, except for the occasional hint of disdain in private. It turned out that the person who was doing business here was the lord of the East Palace, the crown prince Sima Shu, to say that this Sima Shu was also a smart and abnormal child when he was a child, and he was deeply favored by his grandfather, Emperor Wu Sima Yan.

It's a pity that his mother Xie Jiu was born in a poor family, and his maternal grandfather was a character who killed sheep and sold meat. As the saying goes, a peony grows on the barren grass beach, although Xie Jiu was born as a butcher, I don't know when his parents were stained with the prince fairy gene in their blood, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she became a slim and beautiful girl, dignified and beautiful, surnamed virtuous, and lovely.

In the first years of Sima Yan's Jin Dynasty, he decreed to "select a good family to fill the **", and Xie Jiu was selected as a talented person in the backyard with "Qinghui Zhen is upright and has a posture." The Xie couple never thought that their family would change the court, and their daughter entered the palace to be a talented person, whether it was a blessing or a curse, joy and sorrow, and they sent their daughter on the road with trepidation.

The women who entered the palace in the past dynasties, from their parents to themselves, most of them had the mentality of gambling, if they were favored, they would ascend to heaven, especially if they were lucky enough to conceive the dragon seed and give birth to the emperor's heir, the mother was more precious than the son, and the bright glory could make thousands of people look up; Otherwise, I had to accept my fate, and I would rather be lonely and cold and wither in the court.

Xie Jiu's parents looked forward to their daughter to serve the current saint, but unexpectedly made Sima Yan a daughter-in-law. The crown prince established by Sima Yan is Sima Zhen, who is congenitally mentally retarded, lives in the East Palace, and it is time to approach a woman.

Out of long-term consideration for Xi**shan Sheji, of course, there is also the practical factor of this son's stupidity, Sima Yan decided to start early in all aspects, and trained and guided Sima Zhen.

There is only one thing that can only be done by women, that is, husband and wife, and no matter how capable the courtiers can replace it. Sima Yan saw that Xie Jiu was docile and well-behaved, so he decided to arrange for her to accompany her stupid son. is not to serve tea and water, but to sleep together, nor is it simply to make a bed to take care of the prince to sleep, but to use his body as a teaching material to teach Sima Zhen how to do ** things.

The history books say this: "Emperor Wu was worried that the prince was still young and did not know about the curtain room, so he was sent to the East Palace to sleep." ”

Sima Yan's purpose is very clear, I am worried that my son is young and stupid, and he does not understand the affairs of men and women, so you go and teach him hand in hand on the bed. In this way, there is no doubt that Xie Jiu is very good at men and women love to turn the phoenix? Isn't Xie Jiu also a virgin in the boudoir, how can she be familiar with those things in the bed between husband and wife? Even if Xie Jiu is good at acupuncture, how did Sima Yan know? There's no way to figure it out.

Anyway, Xie Jiu is an obedient and good girl, and she does her best for the special task given to her by the Holy Lord. Soon, Sima Zhen showed that "the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple", there is a trend of "the blue is better than the blue", often in the dead of night, the candlelight is blurred, the brocade is fragrant, and the mighty and majestic Sima Zhen in turn makes Xie Jiu have to bow down and bow down.

Sima Zhen thought that it was a pleasure for men and women to have sex, but he didn't know that he was cultivating and sowing seeds at the same time, and the result of blindly seeking pleasure was that the seeds in Xie Jiu's womb broke the ground and sprouted.

It's a pity that Xie Jiu's good words will soon come to an end, because Sima Yan can't stand everyone's pleading, and the concubine he finally married to the prince Sima Zhen is an ugly woman Jia Nanfeng, which shows that Xie Jiu was busy working in vain before and making training tools for others.

This Jia Nanfeng was born noble, his surname was fierce, and he was extremely jealous. Because of her ugly appearance and dislike, Sima Zhen was reluctant to have sex with her, so the Jia family didn't want to see who was pregnant with Sima Zhen's species. Whenever he heard about it, he kicked the pregnant woman in the stomach directly, and if he got angry, he might kill the other party, so that everyone in the palace concubines around Sima Zhen was in danger.

Xie Jiu was originally from a humble background, and his surname was weak, and he was unwilling to compete with others, so "Jiu begged to return to the West Palace, so he was ashamed of the prince." Xie Jiu hid back in the West Palace and gave birth to her and Sima Zhen's son, named Sima Shu.

It is said that his sons have grown to three or four years old, and Sima Xin does not know that this is his son. One day he went to the court to greet his father, Sima Yan, and saw Sima Shu playing with several princes, so he ran over and took the little guy's hand. Seeing that his son didn't know his grandson, Sima Yan pointed to his grandson and said to Sima Zhen, "It's Ru'er." "This is your son.

Sima Shu has been smart since childhood, one night, there was a fire in the palace, Sima Yan climbed the tower to watch, the then five-year-old Sima Shu pulled Sima Yan's shirt to the dark and said: "If something suddenly happens at night, you should be prepared for possible changes, and you can't stand in the bright place and let others see your face." ”

Sima Yan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: This grandson is so talented! So to a large extent, it was for Sima Shu's sake, and Sima Zhen became his successor.

Later, Sima Zhen succeeded to the throne, Jia Nanfeng became the queen, Sima Shu was made the crown prince, and Xie Jiu was somewhat stained with his son, and was named Shuyuan by Jin. On the surface, her status has improved, but she doesn't know that this is the beginning of her misfortune.

"Empress Jia didn't listen to the prince and Jiu meeting each other, and they were in a room."

Empress Jia did not allow the crown prince to meet her biological mother, and arranged for Xie Jiu to live in a house, which was like house arrest. The price of the son's dignity is that the mother is thrown into the cold palace.

Because she was not born by herself, and because she coveted Xi** Mountain, Queen Jia has always had the intention of deposing the crown prince Sima Shu. Blood inheritance is very secretive, the father is mentally retarded, the mother is quiet and virtuous, but the son born is a naughty trickster.

And this Sima Shu didn't realize that his situation was not good at all. Although Tian's surname is smart, he is a lack of discipline, especially after the death of his pampering grandfather Sima Yan, the crown prince Sima Shu became more reckless and lawless, and the most outrageous thing was to set up a market in the palace and sell meat with a knife in person.

Sima Shu was not easy to learn and motivated when he grew up, and the ugly queen Jia Nanfeng instructed the eunuchs around him to lure, so that he played with his retinue all day long, and became extravagant and arrogant and tyrannical.

As the crown prince, Sima Shu had 500,000 yuan a month, but he often advanced two months not enough to spend. In desperation, Sima Shu opened a wine and meat shop in the East Palace, and started to do wine and meat to make some "extra money".

The crown prince probably did not dare to collect taxes, nor did he have to pay market management fees, health and quarantine fees, livestock slaughtering fees, and protection fees, so the business was prosperous.

This is not outside the corner gate of the East Palace, the crown prince Sima Shu stood in the butcher shop, shouting loudly, personally soliciting guests, if this person was not wearing a special prince costume, I am afraid that no one would think that he is the famous imperial crown prince.

"Uncle, how much meat do you want to buy?" Sima Shu held a kitchen knife in his hand, smiled and asked the customers in front of the store, he didn't care about his identity as a prince at all, and completely regarded himself as a buddy in the store.

"Give me a pound!"

The old man replied happily, he enjoyed the service of His Royal Highness the Prince, and since he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had opened a wine and meat shop, he came here every day to buy something. If nothing else, just to feel the pleasure of the prince's service to himself, and there is more than one person with such a mind as him.

"Okay, wait a minute." I saw Sima Shu raise and fall with a knife in his hand, cut a knife along the **, and took a scale, and it was really a catty, not a cent. The people around saw this scene and applauded, and Sima Shu's face was not only not ashamed, but complacent.

After receiving the old man's ten cents, Sima Shu went to receive the next guest, in the name of the crown prince and Sima Shu had a unique job, this business was really good. In a few moments, more than a dozen guests were received.

If such a "unique skill" had been in time for the 60s and 70s of the 20 th century, this Sima Shu would have been established as an advanced model such as a pacesetter on the commercial front. From the perspective of modern "brand effect", this "crown prince" is undoubtedly a big brand, and "one grasp" is another big brand. With these "two brands", the business of the wine and butcher shop can be imagined.

Sima opened a wine and meat shop, not only to make money, but also as a kind of self-satisfied play, and the interest in play became more and more extensive. This Sima Shu also loves the little tricks of the Yin and Yang family, and has greatly repaired the East Palace according to feng shui, and all kinds of furnishings are confined to the taboos of feng shui.

He personally engaged in the work of carving beams and painting buildings in the back garden, and he was indeed a talented pair of skillful hands, if he was not born in the emperor's house, he should have been a rare skilled craftsman. The cost of such a large-scale construction project is too great, and no matter how good the business of the wine and meat shop is, it is difficult to continue. Sima Shu also asked Xiyuan to sell vegetables, blue grass seeds, chickens, flour, etc., and opened a grocery "supermarket".

Sima Shu's more and more absurd behavior gradually caused the prince to wash the horse Jiangtong, the middle house Du Xi dissatisfied, today as soon as the two arrived in the East Palace, they heard the guard's report, saying that His Royal Highness the prince went to the butcher shop again. The two of them were immediately furious, and immediately turned around and came towards the store.

Xiao Huangmen, who had already received the news, immediately rushed in front of the two adults to report to Sima Shu, Sima Shu was immediately anxious after receiving the news, he was afraid that the two would write to the emperor to sue him, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to pack up their things. It's a pity that before Sima Shu could clean up, Jiang Tong and Du Xi arrived in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so self-loving, the minister must report to His Majesty that he knows, please Discipline His Highness well!"

As soon as he saw Jiang Tong, he was clamoring to enter the palace to sue the emperor, which frightened Sima Shu, although he was not afraid of his stupid father, but the queen Jia Nanfeng was not easy to mess with, she had been looking for trouble with the prince, if the queen knew about it, it was estimated that his mother Xie Jiu would have to follow him to be trained by the queen.

At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded on the flat ground, and Sima Shu felt a tremor in his heart, his eyes went dark, and he suddenly fainted. This can scare everyone present, if the prince has a good one, none of the people present will think about it, and if they don't make it, they will all be punished by the royal family.
