Fang Zhiwen went to Chang'an and lived in the Zhen family's house, here is the backyard of a business inn, open a door in the back, it will become a single-family house, now the invisible head of the Zhen family has arrived, the boss of Miyun has arrived, and the Zhen family's business inn is all honored, even the pace of walking is a little faster, and the service is naturally extremely enthusiastic and thoughtful.

After Fang Zhiwen arrived in Chang'an, he did not go to meet Dong Zhuo, but first went to see Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, why did he see Sima Fang first? This is actually a political signal from Fang Zhiwen, in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo is a faction, the Guanzhong clan is a faction, and there is a more neutral foreign faction, although the number is small, but it cannot be ignored, there are many original party members in this faction, and they are also the focus of Dong Zhuo's wooing, and the representative figure in this faction is Sima Fang, as for the banners Cai Yong and Zhou Bismu, it is just a call, Sima Fang is the most powerful person among these people.

Fang Zhiwen first visited Sima Fang, and the message he wanted to convey was that Fang Zhiwen had a neutral attitude towards the struggle between various forces in Chang'an.

In addition, Fang Zhiwen also wanted to visit Sima Fang in his private heart, and many people were not very impressed when it came to Sima Fang, but if he was Sima Yi's father and Sima Bada's father, he would have an impression.

Sima's house looks very simple, right. is simple, it is simply unadorned, which is simply too shabby compared with the glorious Chang'an City, not to mention, Sima Fang is still the nominal leader of the capital.

There are not many subordinates in Sima Fang's family, and they are very regular, they are very cautious in their every move, and they are even more cautious in their speech, which shows that the discipline of the owner of this house is extremely strict, which is also in line with the outside evaluation of Sima Fang.

Sima Fang was a little surprised by Fang Zhiwen's visit. But it is not surprising, this surprise is also because Fang Zhiwen came with his wife, and his wife is in official uniform, obviously not here to deal with his family. In addition, what surprised Sima Fang was Fang Zhiwen's light car, dozens of guards dared to walk around openly in Chang'an, and they were not afraid of assassins, you must know that the population in Chang'an City is very complicated, especially the number of strangers is too large, and the problem of public security has always been a big trouble.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries. Sima Fang politely welcomed Fang Zhiwen into the hall, and then. Sima Fang let his son come to meet Fang Zhiwen and his wife together, Fang Zhiwen can be regarded as knowledgeable, Sima Fang's tutor is not bad at all compared with the army, he is silent, those boys are like a wooden man, if they don't move, they don't move, and they don't let them speak.

After the visit, Sima Fang did not ask them to retreat, but asked them to sit down on the side. It seems that he is going to audit, this is also part of Sima Fang's education, Fang Zhiwen guessed, his eyes looked carefully at the faces of the two older children in front of him.

The eldest is Sima Lang, who is already very smart at a young age, and it is recorded in the history books that this young man once skillfully took his family and younger brother out of Dong Zhuo's clutches when Dong Zhuo moved west. Later, he also made great achievements under Cao Cao, but unfortunately died young.

The second child, who is only about ten years old, is Sima Yi, but he doesn't look like a hawk or a wolf, but he looks very aura. He doesn't look very much like his father, with deep eyes and a high nose, it should be some Hu blood, in fact, the Sima family is a Central Plains family, there should be no Hu blood, or is it related to maternal blood?

"Lord Fang and Mrs. Fang, forgive me, the dog is about to become an adult, so we should let them learn how to deal with people, and let them watch here?"

Sima Fang smiled calmly, as if this was not a request, but a very natural request.

"Hehe, the guest is as you please! Lord Sima's sons are restrained in their words and deeds, and their advances and retreats are well-founded, and Lord Sima is a good tutor 1

"Lord Fang has won the prize. I don't know what Lord Fang is doing when he comes to Chang'an this time? And why do you want to visit you? ”

Sima Fang is really a rigorous and slightly rigid person, and he is straightforward when he speaks, giving people a hard feeling, and perhaps because of this, he also gives people the impression of a little lack of human feelings.

"When I came to Chang'an, I naturally wanted to meet Your Majesty, and by the way, I would give Your Majesty some gifts. As for why I came to visit the adults, it was naturally because Master Sima was also one of the celebrities! Hehe. ”

"The adults laughed, I'm just a bureaucrat who eats a vegetarian meal, what kind of celebrity is it? There is no shortage of celebrities in Chang'an City, Cai Bojiao, Lu Zigan, Dong Zhongying, and Yang Wenxian are celebrities. ”

Fang Zhiwen grinned: "Of course, they are celebrities, and they will visit them one by one in the future, and Lord Sima is not far behind, now in Chang'an City, Master Dong is a group, Taiwei Yang is a group, and Lord Sima is also a family of his own, so why be too humble." ”

Sima Fang sighed, looked at Fang Zhiwen and said very seriously: "Master Fang thinks that he wants to be this Jing Zhaoyin?" If you can choose, I would rather go back to my hometown in Wenxian County to farm, but it is better to stumble in the big pool of Chang'an, Lord Fang is free to the frontier, and I don't know that Chang'an is not easy to live in1

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it1

Sima Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why should Lord Fang be like this, there are only two families in Chang'an City, Taishi and Taiwei, and we and other people from the Kanto region are just buffered in the middle, or as a brocade to decorate the façade, how can you not know the pros and cons of it?" ”

"Hehe, Lord Sima laughed, the Taishi and the Taiwei are just political disagreements, besides, even if it is as Lord Sima said, Lord Sima can choose one or the other, how can Lord Sima not see through this? Presumably, Lord Sima had another plan1

Sima Fang's eyes shrank, and the hand stroking his beard also paused, Zhen Jiang also noticed that Sima Lang and Sima Yi, who were sitting on the side like clay sculptures, both raised their eyes and glanced at their husbands, and there was a lot of interest in their eyes, not like two children at all.

"What will be the plan when I am drooping and old, but I just want to have a peace, I originally wanted to report for illness, but the master did not allow it, and I was helpless below1

"Oh? Could it be that Master Sima thinks that Master Dong is unstoppable? Fang Zhiwen looked at Sima Fang playfully, Sima Fang's hand paused again, but his eyes drooped, while Sima Lang looked at Fang Zhiwen with some resentment.

"Could it be that Lord Fang is here to make things difficult on purpose? If this word spreads, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause trouble to the Sima family, please be cautious about Lord Fang1

"Hehe, what's this, if Taishi Dong doesn't even have this mind, he should go back to Xiliang to let go of the horse, if you want to sit firmly in Chang'an, you must have an inclusive mind, and you must have the bearing to tolerate dissent, I will say the same when I see Taishi Dong. Since Lord Sima is so timid, I will keep today's conversation confidential, and moreover, I will also suggest to Dong Taishi to change to Jing Zhaoyin, how can Jing Zhaoyin, who is so timid and afraid, deal with such a complicated situation in the capital? ”

In this way, I am grateful1 Sima Fang answered Fang Zhiwen's ridicule very seriously.

"In this case, Master Sima can let go of his scruples and tell me what he thinks of both Dong Taishi and Yang Taiwei.1

"This" Sima Fang couldn't imagine that Fang Zhiwen was waiting for him here, before and after, Sima Fang had no room to retreat, and blindly dodged, but it seemed ill-intentioned to spread out.

Sima Fang suddenly had a big head, this Fang Zhiwen is really, what do you want to do? Is it just to know what they think of the two forces in Chang'an? Or do you want to touch your bottom line and attitude towards both parties?

"Since Lord Fang has asked him repeatedly, let's talk about it below. If you can grasp this advantage, quickly integrate the forces in Guanzhong, actively develop production, and recuperate with the people, with the large population of Guanzhong, thousands of miles of fertile soil, it is not impossible to sweep the Guandong one day. It's just that now Dong Taishi and Yang Taiwei are separated, and the two tigers are competing, it is inevitable that outsiders will benefit, Guanzhong is fighting in the middle of the war, but the princes of Kwantung are concentrating on development, and it is not clear who is strong and who is weak in the future. Even so, all the hard work will eventually come to naught, so why bother? ”

"Therefore, Lord Sima wants to help each other, and even bent on begging to go, so that he can find another high branch?"

"If the country has a way, it will be supplemented by loyalty, and if the country has no way, it will retreat to avoid it. Why not, if you don't realize it, the saints are still like this, let alone us ordinary people? ”

Fang Zhiwen smiled: "I didn't say that the adult's choice was wrong or right, I just wanted to know what the adult thought, to be honest, in Chang'an, there is the idea of reconciling the contradiction between the Taishi and the Taiwei, now the foreign enemy in Chang'an has not gone, first from the internal strife, stupid, if Chang'an changes, the rich land in Guanzhong will be another Luoyang, the people are displaced, prosperous and dusty, this is not what I want, I don't know what Lord Sima thinks?" ”

Sima Fang raised his eyes and looked at Fang Zhiwen, only to see Fang Zhiwen's honest face with a smile, so that he didn't seem to be lying, what Fang Zhiwen said about Sima Fang is understandable, Chang'an is a place to collect money for Fang Zhiwen, if there is a war here, it is naturally not a good thing for Fang Zhiwen, and Chang'an and Fang Zhiwen's territory are thousands of miles away, no matter how strong Chang'an is, there will be no threat to Fang Zhiwen, therefore, a strong and stable Chang'an is what Fang Zhiwen needs.

But what does Fang Zhiwen mean by saying this to himself? Is it trying to win over to stand on the same side as him? Work together to alleviate and mediate the conflict between the Guanzhong clan and Dong Zhuo, so that the two parties can return to a mutual cooperation basis and jointly resist the threat from Kanto?

However, what is the benefit of doing this for himself and the Sima family?

Money or power? Fame or profit? Or is it a friendship from Fang Zhiwen?
