Chapter 53: Sima Banru's Dream of the King of Shu
Sima Banru sat on a chair, and there were two palace maids holding incense burners standing beside him, and he was only about to put on a yellow dragon robe, and he was a proper emperor.
"Lord Cao came to find Ben Hou, but did he come to urge Ben Hou to board the journey as soon as possible?" Sima Banru deliberately closed his eyes slightly and asked.
Cao Ju glanced at the two palace maids.
"The villain is here for the future future of Hou Ye, and I also ask Hou Ye to retire from others."
Sima Banru thought for a moment and nodded at the palace maid.
The maid retreated behind the screen.
Cao Ju knelt on the ground, groped for a few pieces of bamboo slips from his waist, and put them on top of his head.
"The villain is here to congratulate Master Hou."
Sima Banru's eyes seemed to open very reluctantly, and when he saw the yellow bamboo slip, his lazy gaze instantly condensed into two thin lines.
After a while, he calmed down a little, wiped his face vigorously, and asked calmly, "When Ben Hou was in Beijing, he was not allowed to see his father, but today he has a little effort, but my father wants to urge me to rush back to Beijing as soon as possible, I think this life is just a car and a horse, does Lord Cao dare to make fun of Ben Hou?" ”
"How dare the villain." Cao Ju wiped the cold sweat on his face, "Please also ask the Hou Ye to take a step forward and personally read His Majesty's edict." ”
Sure enough, it was an edict, and Sima Banru's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his throat.
"On that day, the decree of King Jin was read, and the villain was afraid that there were many eyes and ears around him, so he didn't dare to take it out. Cao Ju was worried that Sima Banru would not believe it, so he hurriedly added.
Sima Banru had already walked up to Cao Ju, trembled slightly, took the "edict", put it on the table and bowed a few times, and then untied the rope tied to it.
The first thing I saw was the imprint of the vermilion heirloom jade seal.
When the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were established, Cao Wei was orthodox because he was able to offer the throne of Emperor Han Xian; Shu Han relied on Liu Bei's Han clan to be in a safe corner; Although Sun Wu had no excuses, his country was rich and strong, and there were many wise men, and he was deeply supported by the people and established a dynasty.
This is said to be a jade seal that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is naturally in the Cao Wei court.
At this time, Cao Huan, the last emperor of Cao Wei, had also ascended the throne, but he was still just a puppet.
"Since it is His Majesty's holy decree, why don't you dare to read it in public? But to be so sneaky? Sima Banru was not in a hurry to read the content above, but turned around and asked.
"Master Hou doesn't know." Cao Ju knelt and climbed half a step, deliberately lowering his voice, "This holy decree was written by His Majesty when King Chitose of Jin did not know, because he was worried that King Chitose of Jin would not allow it, and the villain was even more worried that someone here would reveal this news." ”
Sima Banru was a little suspicious.
"Your Majesty knows that there is a gap between the Hou Ye and his brother because of the matter of establishing an heir, for fear that this will exacerbate the conflict between the two of you, so he told the villain to be extra careful."
Sima Banru felt that he had fallen into the clouds.
"It's better to ask Master Hou to read the edict first." Cao Ju said.
Sima Banru spread the bamboo slips on the table.
Before he could finish reading, he had already jumped up, and his face was so red with excitement.
"Your Majesty, this marquis deserves this reward for this great achievement."
"Congratulations to the villain." Cao Ju saw that Sima Banru did not find any flaws, and hurriedly said loudly.
Sima Banru kept moving around in the big tent.
Duan'er and the others, who were hiding behind the screen, couldn't guess the content of the holy decree, but it was not difficult to guess from the conversation between the two that it must be Sima Banru who was rewarded by the Cao Wei court.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Sima Banru to send Cao Ju away and ask for Duan'er to come out.
"Congratulations to the concubine." Duan'er is also full of joy, Wanfu Dao.
"Love concubines should be polite." Sima Banru took Duan'er's little hand, "Your Majesty has made Benhou the king of Shu, and wants Benhou to reinstate the order without having to return to Beijing and govern the counties of Shu together with your royal brother." All the sergeants they brought with them remained here and were ready to be dispatched. ”
Duan'er is overjoyed.
"In this way, Lord Hou is now the same existence as my royal brother at the beginning?"
"Hahaha." Sima Banru only patted the back of Duan'er's delicate hand, "Your royal brother was also named a hussar general to lead Hanzhong Taishou, and in the future, this Shuzhong will be our world." ”
"Since the Hou Ye is already the king of Shu, he should order the soldiers of the three armies and the people of Shu Han to celebrate for three days to congratulate." Duan'er said.
Sima Banru thought for a moment.
"This matter is not urgent, we need to guard against Sima Yan's people in the army, once the news is revealed, I am afraid that this guy will bring troops to come to conquest."
"Sima Yan is the brother of Master Hou, but why is he so forced?" Duan'er was puzzled.
Sima Banru patted his shiny forehead.
"I don't know what the concubine is, at the beginning, just because I was worried that Benhou would compete for the position of King of Jin, he repeatedly poisoned Benhou, if it wasn't for my father to ask Benhou to go out with Deng Ai, at this time, I am afraid that Benhou has become a ghost under his knife. He has great ambitions and has sworn to unify China, if he learns that Benhou has become the king of Shu, how can he give up? ”
"So this person is so vicious?" Duan'er pretended to think, "Since Master Hou is worried that this matter will be known by others, why don't you call my royal brother to discuss this matter?" ”
"Ben Hou is also thinking about inviting the imperial brother to come over to discuss." Sima Banru nodded again and again, "I still need to invite Cao Ju to come, and I will draw up a seal with the imperial brother to thank Your Majesty for your holy grace." ”
Duan'er had already guessed that this must have been secretly designed by Liu Yong, so he smiled and said, "Since Master Hou is already a thousand years old as the king of Shu, the position of the concubine is settled." ”
Sima Banru's face had already turned into a walnut with a smile.
However, soon something happened that made Sima Banru very unhappy.
The palace maid who was sent out to invite Liu Yong came back and said that Liu Heng, who was guarding the palace, would not allow Liu Yong to take half a step out of the palace.
"The slave maid told him that it was the Hou Ye who invited His Majesty, then Liu Heng not only didn't listen, but also had a lot of complaints about the Hou Ye, if it wasn't for the slave and the maid who escaped in time, he was almost caught by this person." The palace maid had a panicked look on her face.
"A general, how bold is he that he doesn't even care about the Hou Ye?" Duan'er said ruthlessly first, looking back at Sima Banru, "Master Hou is the overlord of my Shu, how can such a person be allowed to behave indiscriminately?" ”
Sima Banru turned around and took off the sword on the wall.
"The concubine is waiting here, waiting for Benhou to deal with this person personally."
Duan'er watched Sima Banru walk out angrily, and laughed secretly in his heart.
This Sima Banru has been used by Liu Yong many times, but he is still in the dark. A forged holy decree will soon set off a bloody storm on the land of Shu Han, as long as he can recover the lost land of Shu Han, even if he dies, he will laugh at Jiuquan.
Duan'er guessed well, Liu Yong used this method to get rid of Liu Heng.
When Sima Banru rushed to the gate of the palace with more than a dozen personal warriors, Liu Hengjian was arranging for the warriors on duty tonight.
"Take it." Sima Banru pointed at Liu Heng with his hand.
The warriors beside him rushed over and tied up Liu Heng.
"Master Hou, the villain is not guilty." Liu Hengjian didn't know what was going on, and he had been pierced through the chest by Sima Banru with a sword.
"This person is here and was personally appointed by Deng Ai, and the Hou Ye should have done so a long time ago." A samurai said flatteringly.
Sima Banru put away his long sword and watched the warriors who followed Liu Heng kneel in front of his horse in panic, as if he felt that he was now the overlord of Shu.
