In the blink of an eye, Sima Yi had ten days in Xu Ding to rectify military affairs, and he should also leave the time, after leaving Xu Ding, he could not return to Jinling, and still had to go to several places to rectify military affairs, but at this time he received a letter from King Hui of Jinling asking him to put down his military affairs and return to Jinling City. Sima Yi was a counselor under King Hui, and now King Hui summoned him and had to pack his bags and prepare to return home. But think about it again, in the past few months, I have gained a lot from walking in Fujian and Zhejiang, and I have seen the hardships of the middle and lower class soldiers, as well as the difficulties in the lives of the local people.

The day before leaving, when Sima Yishang was still packing his bags, Huan'er also followed to help. But Huan'er obviously had something on her mind at this time, since she had been with Sima Yi for a few days, but in the past few days, Sima Yu only treated her as a maidservant, and didn't even let her do what the maid did, just let her sit or watch next to her, and let her go back to the room by herself when she went to bed every day, so that she didn't know what kind of person she was seen in Sima Yu's eyes, and now Sima Yu was leaving, she and Sima Yu were not even a dewy couple, and it was still a problem whether Sima Yu would take her back to Jinling. And in the past few days, except for Sima Yi to deal with some military affairs without his accompaniment, she can watch quietly by the side the rest of the time, Sima Yi also plays chess by herself as if there is no one around, Huan'er feels that Sima Yu is a man who can be entrusted to do great things, but she knows that her status is low, and she does not dare to have any extravagance.

"Give me something." Sima Yi didn't have any arrogance in front of Huan'er, in Huan'er's eyes, this was a character who even Taishou was in awe, but he didn't have any arrogance that looked down on people. It's just that Sima Yi sometimes does things too strangely for her to know how to describe them.

Huan'er handed Sima Yi's burden forward, her hand was still a little reluctant, if she let go of her hand, she didn't know if she would usher in a farewell tomorrow. If Sima borrowed away, she would inevitably have to go back to the Taishou Mansion to live a life without any vision for the future, and she knew that there would not be another man as young and promising as Sima Yi and very polite to her. Huan'er hesitated for a moment, but still let go of her hand, Sima Yi seemed to notice some changes in her heart, and was about to say something. But at this time, a maid came in, and it was rumored that Li Fangwei came.

Sima Yi had no choice but to pack up his mood and go to see Li Fangwei first. In the past few days, Li Fangwei always tried his best to envelop him, knowing that he liked to play chess, he sent chessboards and chess pieces, and even wanted to invite a famous artist to play with Sima Yi but was rejected by Sima Yu, and then Li Fangwei learned that the Northern Dynasty and Xianbei were at war close and Sima Yi wanted to get some news from the north, so he specially sent someone to use a fast horse to pass the news from the north as soon as possible, which was a few days faster and more accurate than the official news transmitted by the post station, after all, the Southern Dynasty would not investigate the war report of the Northern Dynasty very clearly. But Li Fangwei didn't know that Sima had secretly obtained more information than the entire Southern Dynasties. Because the intelligence system of the Northern Dynasties had long infiltrated into the system of the Southern Dynasties, Sima Yi, as the final link of the intelligence system, could not escape the affairs of the Northern Dynasties, and even some political affairs of the Southern Dynasties.

"Sir, this is about to return, the official has a lot of reluctance in his heart, and the Japanese official will definitely send Mr. tomorrow. I only hope that in the future, Mr. will remember this officer, and if there is a drive, this official will definitely serve. Li Fangwei saw Sima Yi. immediately showed his sincerity, which was also his main purpose to curry favor with Sima these days. It is to be able to leave the small place of Xu Ding one day and enter the court as an official. This is Li Fangwei's "ambition", if it is stable, Li Fangwei is enough to hold the military and political power in Xu Ding for many years, and he can make generations prosperous and rich, but Li Fangwei knows that he is a person from Huiwangfu after all, and Huiwangfu does not exist. He may be able to take refuge in someone else, but it is not as realistic as making a name for himself in the court. And he couldn't get along with other people, but King Hui gave him the opportunity to get close to Sima Yi, so that he could have Sima Qi's sustenance.

Sima Yi really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The answer is simple and straightforward. But it is also what Li Fangwei wants to hear the most. The price that Li Fangwei spent to curry favor with Sima was very large, mainly reflected in the matter of asking the local government to donate military rations and materials, and Li Fangwei, as the leader, also took out his family wealth to complete the things entrusted by Sima Qi. Now he only got an empty promise, but it is better than nothing, and Li Fangwei has special trust in Sima Yu, because he feels that this Sima Yu is not like those philistine and ruthless court officials in the Southern Dynasty, and Sima Yu himself has no connections in Jinling, but Sima Yu is the upstart of the entire Southern Dynasty, no matter whether the empress has invited him to go out of the mountain as a minister, just Sima Yu's military adviser to King Hui can bring Li Fangwei a lot of convenience.

In addition to coming to say goodbye, Li Fangwei actually wanted to set up a practice banquet for Sima Yi, and when he explained his intention, Sima Yi nodded as a response. This is the third time that Li Fangwei has summoned the gentry in the city to set up a banquet for Sima Yi, the first two times because of some things The banquet itself was not very pleasant, the impression of the city gentry on Sima Yi was that of a vampire, and it was convenient for them to contribute money and efforts, and Li Fangwei came out to preside, and they had to comply. Sima Yi didn't want to be bored anymore, but after thinking about it, since he didn't have anything to ask for, he would simply thank these officials and gentry, and fortunately, he would see more people in the place before leaving, and he would always want to say thank you before leaving.

"Li Taishou, there is a reluctant request below." When Sima Yi was about to send Li Fangwei back, he suddenly said, "I don't know ...... over there with Miss Huan'er."

Li Fangwei smiled knowingly: "As long as Mr. likes it, people will send Mr. to Jinling." If the gentleman finds the road inconvenient, the official will send someone else to deliver it, and it will not affect the reputation of the gentleman. ”

It is a great crime of dereliction of duty for officials to take concubines privately when they are in foreign offices. Besides, Sima borrowed it to do military affairs. But Sima Yi's identity is a little different, although Sima Qi's status in the Huiwang system and even in the officialdom of the Southern Dynasty is not low, but he does not have any official position, strictly speaking, he can't be regarded as an errand office. In fact, Sima Yi didn't care too much about the issue of reputation, even if he did something, King Hui would have been blamed a long time ago, and Han Jian, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, had an agreement with King Hui and even Xiao Zhan, the empress of the Southern Dynasty, that is, to respect Sima Yu's choice, he would stay in the Southern Dynasty if he was willing to stay, and if he was not willing, he should be released. Whether it is King Hui or the empress of the Southern Dynasty, they will not offend the Northern Dynasty for the sake of a Sima, and if the Northern Dynasty uses this to raise a teacher and ask the Southern Dynasty to offend, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Fangwei sighed in his heart, in fact, he didn't feel anything good about Na Huan'er, he thought in his heart, maybe he had never been very keen on women. That's why he didn't realize that the original mansion could still make the indifferent Sima Yu be infatuated with the woman, and he wouldn't offend Sima Yu for the singer in the house. A singer can't get to the point where he can't be reluctant, and there is no need to take it back if he sends it out. But Sima Yu suddenly seemed to add: "It's still in accordance with Miss Huan'er's wishes, if she doesn't want to leave her hometown, she won't be reluctant." ”

Li Fangwei was a little stunned again, women were like spices rather than necessities to him. Li Fangwei also has a lot of wives and concubines in his house, but they were all married when he was young, and he was not obsessed with women at that time, but he took the matter of his inheritance very seriously in the previous generations, and after he had children and daughters, no one forced him anymore, and even he himself didn't remember how long he didn't return home. In the past few days, he has been busy with how to entertain Sima Yi, and he didn't even return to his home, not that Li Fangwei was very cold to his family, but he felt that men should have something to focus on. Even his main room had moved back to the countryside two years ago, and he had no time to go back to visit him in the past two years.

Sima personally sent Li Fangwei out of the house, and the two were saluting to say goodbye, but a fast horse sent a message. It was news from Jinling again, Li Fangwei thought it was a letter urged by King Hui, but he didn't think it would send two letters a day, unless something big happened in Jinling. But at present, everything in Jinling City is calm, and Zhu Tongjing's people are still far from Jinling. The empress and King Hui are very harmonious, and there is no dispute about the court, but the empress is gradually gathering power. King Kehui doesn't seem to care too much about this.

"It's Your Majesty, Mr. Chuan, who went back earlier." Li Fangwei stepped forward to take the official document of the imperial court, opened it, read it, and handed it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi didn't expect that he would have to pass it on to the place in the form of an official letter, and when Sima Yi took it over, he knew that things were not simple. It turned out that the imperial court appointed him as the right minister to announce the official letter to the world, and it was to be sent to the state capitals of the Southern Dynasty. Sima Yi suddenly thought that King Hui had nothing to do to invite him back, or that Xiao Zhan had communicated with King Hui Xiao Ling on his issue. Got the permission of King Hui and transferred him to the court as the right minister, after all, the reward Xiao Zhan came to negotiate and ask for his opinion, and his opinion was to continue to assist King Hui, that time Xiao Zhan was disappointed and returned, but this time Xiao Zhan got King Hui's permission. He didn't even discuss with him again and directly told the world, as if he was afraid that he would not agree and rush to implement the matter.

Holding the official letter in his hand, Sima Yi showed a wry smile on his face, he did not seek any fame and fortune in the Southern Dynasty, it was originally a kind of shackles that seemed to be a responsibility. When he was imprisoned in the dark, it was Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, who rescued him and made him have a free life again, when Xiao Ling's enemies were around, he respected Li Shanye's will to assist Xiao Ling to order Xiao Ling, he originally wanted to choose to leave the Southern Dynasty and return to Jiangbei when Xiao Ling could be alone, but Xiao Ling was always uncompetitive and could not be independent, which made him stay in the Southern Dynasty. But now if he becomes the right minister of the Southern Dynasty, it is equivalent to separating himself from the political arena of the Northern Dynasty, and a detailed work of the Northern Dynasty is used as the right minister of the Southern Dynasty to lean towards the government and the opposition, and even he himself feels a little ridiculous.

"Congratulations to Mr. on being promoted to the right minister." Li Fangwei next to him was overjoyed, he originally thought it was an empty promise without a spectrum, but it was only half an hour before he could fulfill it. The Sima Yi in front of him is no longer a person without official qualities, and has become one of the best figures in the entire civil official system of the Southern Dynasty, and Sima Yi has the favor of the empress, as well as the assistance behind King Hui, which is equivalent to balancing the relationship between the two parties in the future, and this is the only candidate for power in the future. Li Fangwei felt that even if he could follow Sima Yi to Jingshi as an ordinary subordinate official at the moment, he might become the next prime minister in the future.

Sima nodded for no reason, and said, "Your Majesty suddenly has this arrangement, but the order is a little hesitant, but I don't know whether I should go back to Jinling." ”

Li Fangwei's originally overjoyed heart was poured with cold water again, and Sima borrowed this to escape. Originally, Sima Yi was from the Northern Dynasty, and Li Fangwei also knew that Sima Yu was not much interested in being the right minister, otherwise he would have agreed to the empress when he was in Beijing. At present, if Sima Cheng really escapes, then everything he has done will be in vain, what he thinks is, even if he is tied up, he will tie Sima Cheng to the Beijing Division, or the empress will be grateful for his merits and entrust him with a heavy responsibility?

Sima Yu finally said: "If Li Taishou is willing to go with him, he will return to Jinling with him." ”

Li Fangwei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, nodded and said, "Xiaguan will go back and make arrangements." After only a while, Li Fangwei wanted to change his name, but he was very happy, because it meant that his investment in Sima Yi was not in vain.

Sima borrowed and returned to the post house, but did not return to the study. His mood is very chaotic, there is no intention to play chess with himself, after he saw the official letter of the imperial court, the first thing that came to mind was that he could no longer be caught in the political gap between the Southern and Northern Dynasties as he is now, and he had to make a choice, his first thought was to go back to the north, but he didn't want to go back, the life in the north was already very far away for him, and he was always looking forward to returning to his homeland, living a carefree life again and even pursuing the dream of walking the world and being a hero, but when all this was in front of him, Instead, he hesitated. It was a kind of responsibility that tied him up, just as he chose to stay instead of returning to the north when the changes occurred in Jinling, he always felt that there was a mission in his heart that had to be completed. Xiao Ling, the king of Hui, was addicted to wine after gaining power, but he still watched Zhu Tongjing despite it, and the empress had just been in power for more than half a year, and the court was very unstable, which required him to think about it, otherwise the Southern Dynasty would be in chaos, the people would have no livelihood, and those soldiers who were struggling to survive would also be used by those in power as pawns to fight for power and attack each other.

Sima Yi picked up the chess pieces on the table, suddenly sighed, and with a wave of his hand, several chess pieces fell to the ground. At this time, Huan'er walked in from the door, and Sima Yi, who was in a complicated mood at this time, did not notice it. Huan'er stepped forward and picked up the chess pieces on the ground one by one, and when she walked in front of Sima Yi, Sima Yi was suddenly startled, and he noticed that the beautiful woman had arrived in the hall.

"It's you." Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was under the dangerous wall, he felt like a man on his back at all times in the Southern Dynasty, so any outsider appearing in front of him would make him nervous.

Waiting for Huan'er to put the chess pieces back into the chess box, Sima Yicai sighed softly: "I will leave tomorrow, if you want to stay, just stay." ”

Huan'er's face left two tears. (To be continued......)
