Today, it's unusual.

It was a bit overcast, and flocks of crows were flying all over the sky. The weather that was supposed to be like June suddenly cooled down and it rained all the time.

Jiankang City, which is usually bustling and full of people, seems to be slowly quieting down.

Above the court.

His father had not yet entered the court, and many officials of the court gathered together to discuss.

They had received the news overnight and came to the front early to wait.

"Prime Minister Wang, I heard that there is a big announcement from the king today?" The official asked.

"I'm afraid it's the front line," Prime Minister Wang hesitated.

"This—" The surrounding ministers looked uncertain.

Time passes slowly.

His father slowly walked into the court, and his gloomy face was destined to have no cheerful atmosphere.

Seeing the emperor, the ministers immediately bowed down and drank together: "The ministers see Your Majesty." Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

I saw that the emperor cleared his throat slightly and returned to his former appearance: "Zhuqing is flat." ”

After the words fell, the noble courtiers on both sides of the palace gate straightened up together, and their hands were naturally clasped in front of their chests.

"Zhong Aiqing, I have summoned everyone here today to discuss important matters. According to reports from the front, the former Qin was gathering a small force of troops and horses to attack our army. Do you have a good plan? Is this battle a fight or a draw? ”

For a while, the ministers in the court were gossiping, each holding their own opinions, and it was not lively.

I saw a figure walking out of the group of people on the right: "Director Wang, I thought that the former Qin wolf's ambition and idea of unifying the north were known to the world, and he gathered soldiers and horses at this moment." It's not just a demonstration, I'm afraid it's a move to annex my Jin Kingdom. The reason why there is a small group of soldiers and horses may be a temptation..."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Another military general said.

"Wei Chen doesn't think so, if the former Qin wants to be uprooted, it will take time, but what we are lacking at the moment is time. Yichen only saw that peace talks were the best policy. Jingzhou Thorn Shi said forward.

"Your Majesty, peace talks are absolutely impossible, blindly groveling, he will definitely laugh at my Jin Kingdom in front of Qin, once he looks down on me and others, I am afraid that he will attack in a big way, and at that time, we will be difficult to stop."

Long.

"That's enough, be quiet for me."

"Haven't figured out a solution yet? This matter involves the foundation of the Great Jin, and this is your answer? His father shouted.

Above the court, there was a chilling silence.

"Your Majesty, now that I am in the kingdom, I am in ruins. The people live in a peaceful and prosperous world, and they are afraid that they do not want to go to war. ”

"However, Former Qin is indeed a threat to my Jin Kingdom, and the minister is willing to lead troops to guard the frontier and prevent Former Qin from encroaching." General Zhang said.

"Can you make sure it's safe?" The Emperor asked.

"I am willing to defend the frontier to the death!"

“......”

The emperor pondered slightly: "Let me think about this matter again." ”

He frowned and glanced at the ministers in the court, and when he saw that they didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his head, feeling helpless.

Looking at the heirs to the side again, except for the eldest prince Sima Shao's normal complexion, the others all showed different colors, as if they were afraid, angry, and sad.

"Shao'er, you have been smart since you were a child, and you have your own set of ideas about doing things. Do you have ideas about the war ahead? ”

"Father, I..."

"Don't worry, it's okay to be wrong. It's all your uncle here, so it's out of the way. ”

"The soldier is treacherous!

He was a strong soldier in the Qin Dynasty, with a fierce style, and all the people were soldiers. Our Jin State is not facing him head-on in front of Qin, but can send troops to make a detour to attack his military camp and burn up the enemy's grain and grass. At the same time, General Zhang can be ordered to guard the frontier and prevent the invasion of enemy troops.

Pair the troops at the front with good wine!

Today there is wine, today is drunk, wine is drunk and bold. And wine is the best cannonball for attacking/defending the city, just like the red cliff, the fire burns, and the wine plays a big role. ”

"That's right, Erchen still thought. The reason why the former Qin was strong was because of hard work, and my Jin Kingdom was superstitious about Fangshi. After a pause, he continued.

"Thinking about the former Qin's Fu Jian, he appointed the virtuous Wang Meng and worked hard to govern the country, and finally destroyed the Yan and the Dynasty, and basically unified the north, which formed the confrontation situation between the Southern Jin and the Northern Qin.

My Jin country should take its essence, remove its dross, bring forth the new, and reform the old and the new! ”

"Good! It's really worthy of my unicorn! ”

The crowd looked sideways.

Sima Shao ignored the stunned gazes of the ministers who were watching him.

He said slowly in a straight and round tone:

"Blindly seeking peace will not bring peace, only its own strength can deter Xiaoxiao from daring to fight with my Jin Kingdom. Otherwise, no matter how long it has passed, my Jin Kingdom will not change. ”

The ministers' eyes were puzzled: Is this really what His Highness can say when he is a teenager?

Sima Shao also seemed to feel the surprised gaze of the ministers, knowing that he did not meet the character of the little child, he lowered his head and stopped speaking.

His father laughed and said, "According to my son's opinion, do you have any objections?" ”

"Reconsideration." Prime Minister Wang stepped forward: "Listening to His Royal Highness's words, it is like an empowerment." His Royal Highness has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, which is the blessing of Daqin. ”

"Reconsideration." The ministers also stepped forward.

......

Later.

After solving the major matters ahead, everyone gradually relaxed.

"Whew~ I can finally sleep peacefully~"

When he came to the side of the palace and sat down, he was just about to lie down, when the eunuch who usually served his father ran into the palace out of breath.

Before he could recover from his long-lost peace of mind, he asked weakly, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

I saw the eunuch reply with a flustered face: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you to meet you." ”

In the palace of the emperor.

"Father, are you looking for a son?"

"Well, I want to talk to you about Chang'an, the former homeland of my Jin Kingdom."

Unknowingly, his father was sad and wept.

He asked his father suspiciously what caused him to cry, and Emperor Yuan told him the old things of the year, and told him the story of the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and the royal family's eastward crossing.

"I want to one day regain the lost ground and dominate the universe."

Then Emperor Jin Yuan, who was sentimental and a little literary, asked his son: "Shao'er, you say, which is farther away from me, Chang'an or the sun?" “”

Changan? Isn't that my original name, I've almost forgotten my name.

replied to him: "That must be the sun, after all, father, you have been to Chang'an, but you have never been to the sun and no one has seen the sun." ”

......

The next morning.

Emperor Jin Yuan told the ministers about the conversation last night, and then asked Sima Shao again, but this time his answer was not the same as yesterday.

He thinks that Chang'an is the place that is farther away. Emperor Jin Yuan was puzzled and asked him: "Shao'er, what you said today is different from what you said yesterday!"

He thought for a moment and replied, "Father, look, we can see the sun when we look up, but now we can't see Chang'an." This sentence made Emperor Jin Yuan even more sad.

If you look up, you can see the sun, but when you look up, you can't see Chang'an City. This is in stark contrast to his previous answers.

It was this sentence that evoked the nostalgia of the ministers. The repression caused by uprooting, precariousness and displacement can no longer be suppressed.

Homesickness gushes out.

I can see the sun, but I will never see Chang'an again...
