The person who coughed was Emperor Xiankang of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, who was called Emperor Xianzong after the collapse of the temple and Emperor Cheng. During his reign, he appointed his relative Yu Liang and wantonly excluded dissidents, which led to political turmoil. At this time, he was terminally ill, and his two sons had not yet grown up, so he had to listen to the words of Yu Bing and others, and planned to pass on the throne to his younger brother Sima Yue, the king of Langya. The old voice beside him is a teacher and a eunuch in the palace, surnamed Cai Mingyun, who has served Sima Yan for more than ten years.

Cai Yun knew that the most taboo thing in the life of the saint was the matter of Qinxin Lake back then, and for decades, no one in the palace dared to mention the word "Qinxin Lake", but he had decided to be martyred for the saint, so he asked this question. He didn't know that although Sima Yan treated him with great favor, he would never talk about it to anyone anyway, even if it was a loved one.

In the verandah outside the hall, everyone stood for another day, hoping that the proclamation of the holy decree would be delayed, and two or three of them gradually had the intention of slacking off. The general who was resting in the pavilion looked at it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "The Holy Lord is about to go big, and he must help the Holy Lord to change the life of Tuo Gu before the death of the royal driver, otherwise there will be endless troubles." "This person is Huan Wen, who is already an important minister of the dynasty at this time, the official worships the general of Zhengxi, and the governor of Jingzhou. When he heard that the saint was critically ill and wanted to entrust the power of the court to Yu Bing, He Chong and others, he immediately led all the staff in the general's mansion to the outside of the Chengping Palace.

Huan Wen saw that everyone was tired, cleared his throat, and said to everyone: "The saint is deceived by traitors, and we will be relegators, only ......"

"Only you are loyal ministers and good generals who are worried about the country and the people, and the rest of the Manchu courtiers are all chaotic ministers and thieves who have brought disaster to the country and the people?" suddenly heard a person sneering in the corridor, "I advise General Huan and all the adults to go home early." Lost and returned, gold is not precious. ”

When everyone looked, the person was full of charm and noble bones, although he was only a weak crown year, but his magnificence was impressive, and it was respectful.

Huan Wen took a look, and was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Who am I talking about, dare to be so rude, it turns out to be Xie An, a famous person who moves the world, please tell me in the pavilion." "Stand up and bow very respectfully.

Xie An smiled faintly, "General Huan is polite, he has been summoned to the palace in Xia, and he has not yet faced the saint, so he will not be accompanied." Then he drifted away.

Huan Wen looked at his back and sighed: "This person has a clean demeanor, and he is definitely not very human." If it can be used by me, it will definitely achieve great things in the future. ”

Everyone has been waiting for the decree here for seven days, but they didn't expect someone to suddenly come and laugh at them and leave, and they didn't expect General Huan to be very annoyed by this, and they were all surprised.

That Xie An is a son of the Xie clan of Chen County, and the Huan clan of Qiao County, to which Huan Wen belongs, is the second of the four major gates in the south of the Yangtze River. He has traveled extensively, and has repeatedly resigned from the imperial court, so he is still a white body, and this time he was summoned to the palace, which was recommended by the clansmen.

In the Chengping Palace, in front of the imperial couch steps, Xie An saw Emperor Xiankang and said, "Chen Jun Xie An, knock to see Your Majesty." On the sickbed, Sima Yan got up when he heard the sound, Cai Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support, Sima Yan sat up slightly, panting and said: "The Qing family is near, I ...... I have something to say to ...... With you. Xie An said yes, walked to the front of the royal couch, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty bows to peace, and you can't make a big move." What is the will, the ministers will listen to the ears. Sima Yan nodded slightly, and motioned for a seat. Cai Yun hurriedly took a pear flower chair that the royal driver sat on and asked Xie An to sit down.

Sima Yan's eyes widened slightly, the corners of his mouth were salivating, and he had run out of oil, and suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed it into the air, as if he had an infinite wish to say. Xie An stretched out his hands to hold Sima Yan's withered hand, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." Sima Yan's spirits perked up, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Xie An and said, "I don't ...... It's been a long time, and now it's ...... The internal affairs are unstable, and the foreign power is ...... Qing should be the current Zhou Bo. When he said "foreign ministers", he pointed in the direction of the verandah outside the hall.

Xie An knew that the saint was entrusting himself to himself, and hinted that he would follow the example of Zhou Bo, the Taiwei of the early Han Dynasty, and wait for the emperor to get rid of the power and help the clan. At that moment, he paused and said: "Your Majesty is in the spring and autumn season, but occasionally suffering from a slight illness, when you can recuperate with peace of mind, it is a stubborn disease and miscellaneous disease, and it is also slowly diagnosed and treated by a doctor. ”

Sima Yan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not ...... No, the rest of the matter, only ...... Only God knows. He coughed profusely, his face darkened, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Cai Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help the saint lie down, and brought tea to moisten his mouth, Sima Yan's cough gradually subsided, his eyes were closed, and his breath was like a gossamer. After a few moments, there were three gentle taps of my fingers on the edge of the bed. Cai Yun understood, took out a key from under his pillow, walked to a bookcase behind the screen as agreed in advance, opened the third cabinet with the key, took out a wooden box inside, and returned to the saint.

Sima Yan pointed at Xie An with his hand, but he was no longer able to breathe, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Cai Yun understood the meaning of the Holy Lord, turned to Xie An, and raised the wooden box with both hands, "The Holy Lord will ask the old minister to hand over this box to Mr. Xie." ”

"Fear, and holy decrees. Xie An was quite surprised at first, thought for a while, and bowed down to take it.

Out of the Chengping Palace, remembering the situation of the right talent, sighed lightly, and was about to leave, he looked up and saw that everyone on the verandah was still there, he groaned slightly, strode to everyone, and said with a smile: "The Holy Spark summoned, what should I do, it was to inquire about the tax payment of acres in Chen County." Smelling that the conscription is light now, the sacred heart is very happy, and immediately gave me a bowl of lotus seed soup to eat with you. Such a vast heavenly grace is really a courtier's death that cannot be repaid in case of emergency. He smiled and walked away.

Everyone looked at his back and talked about it. "Listen, the Holy Lord not only has a great dragon heart, but also has a good appetite. "Yes, since you can eat and drink, how can you be dying?" "Oh, it's not good! Maybe all this is a game set up by Yu Bing and others, just waiting for us to drill into it." "It must be so, we have been tricked! Go back to your house, go back to your house quickly!"

Huan Wen looked at the people who were in turmoil, turned his head and glanced at Xie An's distant figure, smiled slightly, and said secretly: "What a clever tongue, fluttering in a few words, can immediately confuse the hearts of this people, and it is indeed the number one person in the world." Okay, today I will give you a face, the so-called deer chaser does not care about rabbits, and those who decide the goods of a thousand gold, do not compete for the price of baht. The coming day is long, and we will have a date later. At that moment, he led everyone to leave the Chengping Hall and went back to the General's Mansion.
