Chapter 49: The Three Heroes
The great Sima returned to Chang and was crowned the Marquis of Zhongyi.
This is indeed a great joy.
For this house and for his master.
Da Sima was already one of the highest martial arts positions of the Three Dukes, and the Marquis was even more honorable, and the title of Marquis of Zhongyi was not obtained by the father of the founding hero Guichang.
The title of the third prince plus the title of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness is simply precious. This means that Guichang, the great Sima who relied on his ancestral shadow to ascend to the position of a first-class minister, not only did not ruin the family business, but also raised the dignity of his own title to a higher level.
It's just that Ying Baoyue's eyes are deep.
At that time, Guichang's father's title was awarded by the emperor of Emperor Ying, and Guichang's Zhongyi Marquis ......
It's just a former Qin king.
Of course, the people of this mansion don't care whether this marquis is the emperor or the king, no matter what, his master is a first-class celebrity in front of His Majesty, and the entire Sima Mansion has fallen into a frenzy because of this news.
"Quick, get that pot here! My lord's favorite is this pot of flowers! ”
"Haven't you bought your favorite lamb yet? I want to die, you little hoof! ”
"Hey, quickly sweep this away, Madame is going to take the second young master to the ancestral hall to report the good news!"
However, in this joyful atmosphere of all the staff, there were three people whose emotions did not keep up at all.
In the Sima Mansion that fell into ecstasy, Ying Baoyue and the Gui brothers and sisters were stunned on the spot.
Ying hugged the moon because she felt that something was wrong with this whole thing.
Putting aside her preconceived impression of this great Sima's favored concubine and killing his wife, she grew up in the court in her previous life and did not doubt that someone like Guichang would be trusted by the emperor.
In the memories of the little princess who hugged the moon, there were some related memories.
There is no direct connection between the restlessness of the back house and the unhappiness of the previous dynasty.
What's more, this big Sima is not restless at all, and he directly expels his wife and son-in-law, he is either a madman or a ruthless person.
It is too much to drive the children and the wife out of the house, and it is generally impossible to hide the secret.
On the way back from Sima Mansion last time, when Ying Baoyue asked if there was any hidden secret, the Gui brothers and sisters were furious.
"Did anything happen between Madame and Lord Sima before?" Ying Baoyue asked at that time.
The harsh treatment of rushing to the farm is generally only experienced by the mother of the housewife when she makes a big mistake.
Although Mu didn't give Ying Baoyue the feeling that she would make a big mistake at all.
"There's a ghost! Mother didn't do anything! Guichen didn't answer, but Gui Li jumped up like a scalded cat, and was about to speak excitedly, when Guichen quickly stretched out his hand and held down his sister, looking at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression.
"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the neighbors can find out."
"Lest you misunderstand my mother," the young man pursed his thin lips and his eyes were dark and shining, "I will never allow this alone." ”
After speaking, he spoke coldly.
From the young man's cold narration, Ying Baoyue learned that although Guichang is now ruthless to his wife, in fact, the two had a very strong relationship in their early years, Mu and Guichang were not blind and dumb marriages, and the two were really childhood sweethearts when they were young.
As a result, Ying Baoyue finally remembered who the surname Mu was.
The Mu family and the return home do have a relationship.
There are three of the founding generals of Great Qin, namely the three main generals of the Qin army that year, and the three generals under Emperor Ying who were called "three heroes" by later generations.
Hussar general Mu You, chariot general Jin Cheng, and Long Xiang general Gui Ming.
General Long Xiang Guiming is Guichang's father, that is, Guichen's grandfather, while Hussar General Mu You is Guichen's mother's father and Guichen's grandfather.
Back then, the general's son-in-law and General Mu's daughter-in-law, these two children are indeed childhood sweethearts, and they can be regarded as a match made in heaven.
However, the founding heroes, especially the military generals, are one of the most dangerous industries in the world.
Ying hugged the moon and looked at Guichen Guili's clenched fist under his sleeve and was silent.
Their father sealed Hou, and it stands to reason that the two brothers and sisters are already the sons and daughters of Hou Ye, but Ying Baoyue can't see half of the joy on their faces.
The three heroes of the founding of the country, the only one who got a good death was to return home.
The first to have an accident was the cavalry general Jin Cheng.
In the second year of the founding of Taizu, the Jin Cheng family, who had been promoted to the governor of the capital, was beheaded because they were found to have trespassed the ritual vessels.
None of the men over the age of five were spared.
And then there was the old general Mu Yumu.
In the fifth month of the Jin family's annihilation, General Mu took his eldest son to the main hall, accused his son of accepting bribes to kill his relatives, and asked Emperor Taizu to degrade the whole clan to the concubine in addition to his own title.
The Mu family is a family that has lasted for thousands of years through many dynasties, and General Mu's measures back then cannot be said to be ruthless, which simply shocked the government and the opposition.
Emperor Taizu sighed, and then followed General Mu's wishes, in addition to his military power and the military position of the general of the country, he was awarded a thousand gold for the Shangzhu country, so that he and his descendants could return to the countryside.
Shangzhu State is an honorary position, without privileges and powers, and the Mu family has disappeared into the court.
Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and looked up at the plaque in the house in front of her.
The rest ...... There is only one clan.
And in the turmoil of that year, the old general Sima Gui only did one thing.
It was to pass on the title to his son.
Soon after, Gui Ming died due to Chen Injury and Dark Illness after years of fighting.
The story of the Great Qin Sanxiong is completely over here.
Now Qianqin, there is no famous general.
When the empire was divided, Ying Hanri only took his courtiers and was also led by his courtiers to run around, and he didn't hear that Da Sima Guichang put on armor to show his style.
There had been no fierce battle in the former Qin for many years.
This is exactly what Ying Baoyue feels strange.
The feudal marquis is the honor and favor of the superiors, so generally only the courtiers who have obtained great merits are eligible, not to mention the title of loyal and righteous marquis, which has to be a sign of great loyalty.
The most common thing is that the generals have made supreme military exploits in order to obtain this title.
But there has been no war in Qianqin this year.
So what kind of loyalty did Guichang show to be named the Marquis of Loyalty?
Ying Baoyue squinted her eyes, puzzled.
And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, Guichen and others.
It was that Steward Li, and he also had an irrepressible smile on his face, but when he saw Guichen and the others, he instantly retracted.
"Young Master, Miss, you have heard the great joy in the mansion today, the lord has not yet come back after being sealed in the capital, and the lady is busy greeting the lord, I don't have time to see you today, you can go back."
The old butler said expressionlessly, as cold as the content that came and went at the moment.
The liveliness and glory of this house have nothing to do with the return of the Chen.
Everyone is celebrating today, and there is no time to look at them, so no one has time to toss them.
Guichen turned numbly, his eyes without a trace of emotion.
but fell into the eyes of the maiden who had turned to face him because of his turn.
She looked up and gave him and his sister a smile.
"Return, return, let's go home."
Family?
Yes, this mansion is not his home.
Maybe it was, but now he has a new home.
Until he walked back side by side with her, Guichen was in a state of half-dreaming and half-awake.
Just after walking a hundred meters, Guichen suddenly stopped, and looked back at the mansion where everyone was so busy that no one noticed them.
Maybe now is the best chance.
"Wait."
"What's wrong?" Ying Baoyue looked at him suspiciously.
"I remembered something, you and Guili go back first, I'll follow later." After saying that, Guichen turned around and ran in the other direction of the house.
"Brother ......" Guili stretched out a hand, but Guichen was extremely fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"This ......" Gui Li stomped his feet angrily, "what is this for?" ”
