Chapter Eighty-Nine: An Accident
Luoyang Palace Taiji Palace, in addition to the general outline can vaguely see the faint style of the palace of the Jin capital in the past, but has long lost the magnificence of the heyday, although the Jin people who returned to the old capital have been renovated with all their hearts, but it has only made the floor of the palace room cleaner, and some of the jade ornaments that are temporarily added to hang on the side of the palace are blown by the evening breeze, and they make a sparse and sparse sound. Only a few aromatherapy exude the fragrance to leak out of the luxurious atmosphere, this is the great Sima for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, specially taken out the best Western Regions incense, smell into the nose, elegant and quiet, refreshing.
The table furnishings on the main hall are ingenious, along the central main seat, in an arc circle, but they are all facing the direction outside the palace, and it is also very different from the usual style of drinking and banquet seats on both sides of the main seat.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on the moon, will drink and feast, such furnishings are naturally convenient and banquet everyone looks up to admire the moon, so when the princes and grandsons of a group of families sit on the table, it is quite novel, from the seat to the direction of the outside of the hall, you can see the bright moon in the air, the silver plate hangs high.
Xie Xuan sat on the sixth seat on the left, which was undoubtedly a confirmation of the status of the Xie clan of Chenjun, the first few seats on the left were reserved for the sons and nephews of the Langya Wang family, and the first few seats on the right head were occupied by several sons of the Yingchuan Yu clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan. In this arrangement of family status, Shaoling Yin and Xingfang An showed a disadvantage, Yin Yu was placed outside the first ten seats on the right, and An Yixi, who had always been like glue with him, was arranged on the thirteenth seat on the left, because the seats were dispersed in an arc, the two could be regarded as far away, but Wang Hong, the third son of the Beihai Wang clan who had just recovered from serious injuries, sat on the ninth seat on the right with a pale face.
They arrived in Luoyang City a month ago, and they were only two or three days later than the noble brigade that went to Luoyang according to the original route. Even after occasionally hearing about the terrible situation in Guangliang Town, it was also regarded as a strange and absurd story, and there were a few brains full of fat, but they thought they were well-informed, and they explained that Hu Lu was fierce, and in my Shenzhou Huaxia, wouldn't it be like a demon? It must be that Guangliang Town was looted by the Hu people, and the people were frightened, so they described it as a demon, which is a saying that they hated the Hu people. Then again, didn't it mean that Da Sima was like a bamboo all the way, and the Hu people were terrified when they heard about it? How could there still be Hu people who were making trouble? It can be seen that there are many untruths in Da Sima's military report. This insinuation has aroused the approval of many sons of the family. Whenever he heard this, Xie Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he made up his mind to go back to find out the truth of the Lingwei from his uncle, as for the real experience of those demons and rampant crimes, he told them, they wouldn't believe it, but it made people laugh. Most people in the world believe what they see with their own eyes, but they don't bother with hearsay. However, to Xie Xuan's surprise, whether it was Yin Yu, An Wanxi, or those family guards who had experienced this matter, they were also secretive in front of everyone, thinking that they were all afraid of demons, and it was inconvenient to announce it to the public.
When Da Sima walked in in a black wide robe, all the sons left the table one after another and bowed to Da Sima.
Judging from the title, it seems that there are many differences between the sons, from the name of the big Sima, the adult, the Duke of Huan, etc., and so on, and even a few directly call the big Sima of Huan as the uncle, uncle, it seems to be more cordial.
Huan Da Sima smiled, and raised his hand majestically and gently: "You virtuous nephews are exempt from courtesy, you don't have to be polite, sit down peacefully." β
Before taking his seat, Huan Da Sima also exchanged a few words with several sons of the family, especially when he saw Yin Yu, he took a few steps forward, held Yin Yu's hands and said: "Tinglin, Ling Zun has always been good, I haven't seen you for many years, but I am really worried." β
According to the generation, Da Sima is Yin Yu's grandfather's generation, and he is a high authority, such a condescending and noble question, Yin Yu suddenly showed a flattered look: "Don't ask the public, my father eats and sleeps, and admires the style of Ruan Sizong of the previous dynasty the most. β
Huan Da Sima glanced at Yin Yu, and the smile on his face remained unchanged at all: "Okay! Like Ruan Sizong, he has lofty ambitions, has the heart of helping the world, and will return to the court in the coming day, and he will also invite Hong Ruoyi to express his heart." β
Yin Yu bowed deeply: "My father dares to disobey his orders." His expression was reverent and deferential, until Da Sima let go of his hands.
......
The musicians sitting under the porch played elegant music, which represented the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Taiji Hall.
Huan Da Sima's central throne is the throne of the former Jin Dynasty emperor, Huan Da Sima talks and laughs in the reign, is peaceful, but he doesn't care, for a time the palace is on the table to toast, praise the merits and virtues, so lively, the servants go in and out, add wine and food to each table, it is also a busy scene.
Xie Xuan respectfully avoided the banquet, drank with Da Sima, and laughed with each other, but after Da Sima continued to patrol the banquet, he focused on the more than ten black-clothed people who were at the top of the banquet on the right.
Obviously, these black-clothed people are not the swordsmen of the Gongfu who have always been out of the police for the Great Sima, in fact, those Gongfu swordsmen are listed behind the main seat of the Great Sima at this time, and although these black-clothed people are also dressed in black, the clothing style is very different from the Gongfu swordsmen, the hem is fine, the texture is poor, and there is more recklessness.
Xie Xuan was strange, why was it that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet where the princes and grandsons gathered tonight, these reckless black-clothed people were also able to sit down? But since the opening of the banquet, Da Sima has never introduced a word to these black-clothed people, those nobles respect their identity, and they have never toasted and talked, and these black-clothed people are also unrestrained, pouring themselves to drink, quite free and easy, but I don't know where it came from, after watching it for a long time, Xie Xuan gradually became interested, especially looking at the bearded man sitting at the front, there is always a strange temperament that can't be explained.
......
In fact, Xiahou Tong is not as natural as it seems on the surface, he doesn't like to show his head like this, if it weren't for Huan Da Sima's repeated invitations tonight, he wouldn't have come to this occasion at all.
I heard that those demon slayers of the Qian family were also nearby, but thankfully, they hadn't met with him yet. But Xiahou Tong himself knew that although his Mu Fengdao aura was not so easy to detect, the problem was that the Five Holy Fire Crow Transformation Man of the Qianjia Family, Chi Tang, had gone to Chang'an with him to assassinate the tyrant, and once he found himself, as long as he talked and scrutinized it in detail, his true identity in the Fly Mountain Trap would probably be difficult to hide.
The atmosphere at the banquet was warm, and Da Sima's wine tour was not over, perhaps in order to make an amazing effect, Da Sima just made a slight gesture to where their Mo family swordsmen were, and did not come over to toast. Guo Xin and the others had nothing to do in their hearts, and they felt that they had made a great contribution to Da Sima, so they ate and drank freely, only Xiahou Tong had a few glasses of water and wine in his stomach, which touched his nervous heart, and his face turned red rarely, his eyes looked around the hall cautiously, and suddenly touched Xie Xuan's gaze, only to feel that the other party's eyes were clear, his heart was beating, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes.
At this time, the waiter was serving dishes to the table, and a large plate of steamed fish with sauce had just been put down in front of Xiahoutong, but the waiter stretched out his hand and touched it lightly on Xiahoutong's hand, who was restless.
This touch was like being devoured by electricity, and a stream of Xuanling air penetrated through the vein, Xiahou Tong was shocked, Huo Ran raised his eyes, and saw a familiar light golden light flashing in the eyes of the servant in front of the case, and his expression seemed to be smiling.
"You...... Sir, you ...... Why is it here?" Xiahou Tong recognized who this person was, hurriedly raised his chopstick, and ate a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, hiding the shock in his heart, but he used the method of sound transmission to send the question into the other party's thoughts.
The servant bowed his head and retreated, just like the movements of the other servants, deferential and humble, but the voice of the gray pengke with a smile came to Xiahou Tong's mind:
"I'm just here to take a closer look at people who want to be emperors like me. β
"Is that Huan Da Sima?...... How can an ordinary man ...... How can it be compared to Mr.
"Don't praise me, at least for now, it seems that he is more likely to be emperor than I am. The voice of the gray pengke gradually faded away, and just when Xiahou Tong thought that he had left, there was another unpredictable voice of the gray pengke: "You don't have to be nervous, at this banquet, no one will recognize you except my people, show your spirit, and prepare to accept the praise of Da Sima for you, this is a very important step for you to enter their court office." β
"Yes......" Xiahou Tong was reminded, suddenly refreshed, adjusted his mood, and soon looked radiant, when he met Xie Xuan's gaze again, he was already very calmly smiling and nodded, Xie Xuan nodded accordingly, and raised his glass in return.
......
"I heard that Duke Huan went down to Luoyang in a battle, beheaded Murong Zhong, the king of Donghu, and planned to defeat the Donghu reinforcements, and killed Murong Li, the fierce king of Yan, and made great achievements in the war. β
It was Wang Shao, the son of the Langya Wang family, who had always been valued by Huan Da Sima, and was also one of the few descendants and nephews of Langya Wang's family who were close to Huan Da Sima. These words are all to show the merits of the Great Sima, and it can be regarded as a toast to the Great Sima, as for why the Juye was defeated later, the Yellow River was blocked, and the army returned to the division, Wang Shao was honest and kind, so he naturally would not ask out of place on this occasion.
Huan Da Sima waited for a long time, and there was no topic to talk about, but Wang Shao's wish was just right, Shi Shiran stood up at the moment, and the tone of his voice deliberately brought some excitement to the modification: "The big slave and my nephew, what you say is great! β
The big slave is Wang Shao's small character, and Huan Da Sima is more friendly to this title, but such an unusual self-explanatory statement still stunned many children of the family including Wang Shao, and after a while, Wang Shao reacted.
"This is the Son of Heaven Haode, and the Lord of Huan is also mighty. Wang Shao bowed to the end, and all the sons of the family echoed him.
Only Xie Xuan retracted his eyes, and with a few words of compliment from everyone, he didn't think so, Huan Da Sima has always been restrained and solemn, and such flamboyant words are suspected of pretentiousness, I am afraid that under the great military exploits on this mouth, it must be another feeling, thinking of seeing more remnants of the army all the way, I can't help but feel indignant.
"There is an amazing feat, I am afraid that you have not known about the virtuous nephews, that is, the people of the Great Jin Dynasty along the way have rarely heard of it, and I will mention it when I return to the court to see the Son of Heaven, but recently the moon is in the sky, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will come out, and it will also make the virtuous nephews happy. β
Huan Da Sima's high-pitched tone was always a bit exaggerated, but judging from the meaning revealed between the words, it seemed that there was still amazing news, Xie Xuan couldn't help but be a little curious, in the current situation, what kind of strange function is better than killing two Yan princes in a row?
Wang Shao pushed the boat along the water: "Ah Ye, what a happy event? β
Huan Da Sima Xuan's robe sleeves are like eagles spreading their wings, spreading to both sides, and his figure is becoming more and more majestic: "The royal division is stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, although it is blocked by the water potential, but I have already made a strange army, sneaked into the Yandu Yecheng, and took advantage of the Xianbei Hulu to prevent the ferry, assassinated the regent of the Yan State, the king of Taiyuan, and was the Dazai Murong Ke of the dynasty!
Huan Da Sima's words are like thunder on the ground, although there are many ointments here, but who doesn't know the great name of Murong Ke of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom? Thinking that the young new monarch of the Yan Kingdom Murong Wei ascended the throne, but he entrusted the affairs of the whole country to Dazai Murong Ke and Taifu Murong Ping, according to the two talents of the Yan Kingdom, but Murong Ke and Murong Chui, but Murong Chui was estranged by the Empress Dowager and the Taifu Murong Comment, and Murong Ping, who was one of the important ministers who took care of his life, was narrow-minded and mediocre, so the social responsibility of the entire Murong Yan Kingdom was only in Murong Ke alone, who had both the courage to fight and the ability to govern the government, and was even more loyal, and had no intention of forming a party for selfishness, which can be described as a pillar of the Great Yan Kingdomγ
But why did such shocking news come to pass from Huan Da Sima tonight? All the kings and grandsons left their seats one after another to bow down to Huan Da Sima in accordance with etiquette: "Yan Wei was punished by Huan Gong, Da Jin is very fortunate, and my generation is very fortunate. It's just that the shouts are sparse and sparse, and the mood is not very high, and it is obvious that they are all suspicious.
Huan Da Sima was not angry with the emotions of the princes, and swept his hands angrily, and his voice was as loud as the current god: "This matter was done by my newly recruited Mo family righteous man." He showed to the last Xiahou Tong: "Mr. Xiahou eldest son, this honor is set up by you, so you will say, how did you assassinate Yan Rebellion Murong Ke that day?"
