Han family achievements

Chapter 205 Sima's House
When Liu Bian entered the recruiting hall, the young man from the previous aristocratic family was whispering something behind a white-haired old man.

When Liu Bian came in, he whispered a few more words.

The old man turned his head, his white hair was sparse, his face was hale and hearty, and his eyes were as sharp as knives looking at Liu Bian.

He was startled for a moment, then looked at it carefully, and suddenly pressed the table, stood up with difficulty, and walked towards Liu Bian.

The young man was taken aback, quickly supported him, and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, what's the matter?"

The old man didn't speak, and when he came to Liu Bian, he seemed to look at it more seriously, raised his hand and said, "Sima Jun is old and blind, dare to ask, but Your Majesty?"

Liu Bian looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "It's me. Sima Qing's family can recognize me from so far away, but it doesn't look like he's nearly eighty years old."

Sima Lang, the grandson behind Sima Jun, was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly raised his hand and said: "I don't know it's His Majesty, but I offended His Majesty, please punish him!"

Sima Jun raised his hand tremblingly, showing fear, and then said in a deep and forceful voice: "My minister, Sima Jun, see Your Majesty."

The other people in the recruiting hall were shocked. Looking at this young man with an extraordinary temperament who looked like an ordinary nobleman while holding a child, no matter how he looked at it, he would not think that he was the current emperor!
But who is Sima Jun?How could he admit his mistake!

"Villains/subjects, please see Your Majesty!" Everyone in the recruiting hall stood up and saluted mixedly.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "I have time today, so I came to the Recruiting Hall for a sit-down. It's quite a pleasant surprise. If you have something to do, go get busy, don't worry about me."

Because the imperial court selected few talents from the recruiting hall, not many people remained in the recruiting hall.There is no such thing as an idiot, who recognized Liu Bian's voice, glanced at Sima Jun and Sima Lang, and retreated one after another.

Not long after, only Liu Bian and Sima Jun were sitting in the recruiting hall.

Liu Bian sat down cross-legged, put the little guy between his legs, looked at Sima Jun, and said with emotion: "The longevity of the Qing family is enviable."

The so-called "life of seventy is rare since ancient times", living to 70 years old is really a long life!
This Sima Jun is 78 years old this year!
Not only this Sima Jun, the Sima family generally has long-lived people, and his grandson is the Sima Yi who has almost experienced the entire Cao Wei era.

Sima Lang, standing behind Sima Jun, is the eldest grandson, and Sima Yi is next.

Sima Lang, Sima Yi's eight brothers, all of them are outstanding, because the last word of the watch is "Da", so they are called "Sima Bada" in history.

Sitting opposite Liu Bian, Sima Jun hunched his back and said, "I'm really ashamed of wasting my years and doing nothing."

Liu Bian pressed the restless little guy in his arms, and said with a smile: "The Qing family writes books and talks, and sometimes opens forums to give lectures, teaching countless people, how can you say that it is wasted?"

Sima Jun shook his head again and again, sighed and said: "I'm old now, and now I realize that, looking back on the past, I have neither merit nor virtue. I owe the king above and my ancestors below. Every time I think about it, I feel so guilty that I can't sleep at night."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Sima Lang behind him, and said: "The Qing family's words are wrong. The ancients said that a good fighter has no great achievements in battle, and a great sage is unknown, and his achievements are real, not in vain. Qing Home is plain and sincere, and it is more than a hundred times better than a dog in a fly camp."

Sima Jun was silent. After waiting for a while, he let out a long sigh, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty is far-sighted, magnificent, beyond the reach of my ministers, old and incompetent, wasting time, leaving the world laughing."

Standing behind Sima Jun, Sima Lang listened to his grandfather's completely different "modest remarks", he was puzzled and his face was full of respect.

Liu Bian saw that Sima Jun continued to 'talk' stubbornly, and his smile did not diminish. He pulled back the little guy who was about to crawl out of his arms, and said: "The Qing family is physically strong, has a keen mind, and is experienced, far superior to others."

Before Sima Jun could speak, Liu Bian glanced at Sima Lang suddenly, and said, "The Qing family should know about the conversation I had with your grandson just now, what do you think?"

Sima Lang tensed up when he heard this, and bowed unconsciously.

In the eyes of the world, this His Majesty is a special emperor with many labels such as 'low-key', 'decisive', 'ruthless', and 'vigorous'.

In less than two years after succeeding to the throne, he wiped out the centuries-old "eunuch party" and seized power from the powerful general He Jin. Tens of thousands, sweeping away the decline of the court.

Is it possible for ordinary people to do all these piles, one by one?

Sima Jun's old face suddenly turned solemn, and he raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if your heart is not upright, you will be evil, if your body is not upright, you will be traitorous. As an official, you must bear the destiny of heaven and ensure the safety of all people. You must not be selfish. Those who are selfish are the ones who owe God's favor to you." , The country is in chaos. From ancient times to the present, history books are like iron, please let your majesty learn from it."

Seeing that his grandfather's words were completely different from the past, Sima Lang couldn't help lowering his head, and looked deeply at Liu Bian from the corner of his eye.

The only one who could make his grandfather 'babble' was the Majesty in front of him.

He didn't dare to look at Liu Bian's face, but he happened to meet Liu Shao's gaze.

The little guy seemed to be very curious about Sima Lang, he waved his little hands and let out a whimper.

Sima Lang hurriedly lowered his head and put his eyes on his feet.

Liu Bian looked at Sima Jun with a calm expression, and said slowly, "The Qing family thinks that Henan Yin Zhongji should be severely punished, as an example to others?"

Sima Jun's face was gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people still know that the laws of the Han Dynasty are strict, and they dare not exceed the rules. If officials are reckless, what is the majesty of the court? Once this case is opened, there will be endless troubles."

Liu Bian looked as usual, reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip, said: "If the Qing family is to punish Cao Shangshu, what should we do?"

Sima Jun paused for a moment, and then said: "Return to Your Majesty, immediately send Zhongji to prison for his crime, and judge him as soon as possible, so as to prevent others from delusional thinking."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand, with shame on his face, and sighed: "I am seventy-eight years old this year, and I have to rely on my descendants to sit on my back. I wish I could be ten years younger and share the worries of Your Majesty."

Liu Bian shook his head and said with a smile: "The Qing family has a heart for the country, how can I sit and watch the Qing family feel ashamed and regret for life?"

As he said that, he turned his head to Pan Yin, and said quickly: "The decree is to be added to Sima Qing's family as the Minister of punishment for Cao. If anyone objects, let him come to me and say it face to face."

Sima Jun hurriedly raised his hand, sat up with difficulty, his face was full of uneasiness, and said: "Your Majesty, I am not ashamed of myself, but my ability is limited..."

Liu Bian waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said: "The Qing family needn't say more, I've lost my mind. The case of Henan Yin will be dealt with seriously and quickly by the Qing family!"

Before Sima Jun could speak, Liu Bian laughed again and said, "Sima Qing's family is well educated, Pan Yin, please draw up an order, Sima Fang will be the prefect of Hanoi, and Sima Lang will be the prime minister of Luoyang."

Hearing this, Sima Lang suddenly panicked and looked at his grandfather beside him.

Sima Fang was his father.

The Sima family's family education is extremely strict, without Sima Jun nodding, Sima Lang would not dare to accept this imperial decree!
Sima Jun's old face was full of solemnity, his thin white hair fluttered without any wind, he lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, raised his hands and bowed down, and said: "I lead the decree, thank God!"

"I accept the decree, thank God!" Sima Lang quickly followed and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, looking at the ground, full of horror.

Until now, he still doesn't understand that this His Majesty is not 'passing by by chance' at all, but he is here for his grandfather!
Seeing that they had received the order, Liu Bian smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your family is free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two responded, slowly getting up.

There was nothing unusual on Sima Jun's face, he was full of thoughts, as if he was already thinking about Henan Yin.

Sima Lang didn't have such a city mansion, and his face was full of 'panic'.

"Wow wow wow..." The little guy in Liu Bian's arms waved his little arms at Sima Lang.

Liu Bian hugged him again, smiled and said to Sima Jun: "The decree will be made soon, and the Qing family will go to the post as soon as possible. Henan Yin will go to Beijing to report on his duties in ten days, and this matter will be finalized in ten days to end the rumors."

"Henan Yin Zhongji embezzled autumn grain for disaster relief" has become the talk of Luoyang City after dinner.

Sima Lang's argument with a group of subordinate officials in the street is an example.

All kinds of rumors formed for this reason are constantly being refurbished, and each one is getting more and more outrageous.

"Your minister leads the decree." Sima Jun said without changing his face.

The worry in Sima Lang's eyes could not go away.

Although he thinks that Zhongji's behavior violates the imperial court's discipline, he should be severely punished to make an example - but it shouldn't be his grandfather who did it!
What Zhongji did violated the laws of the Han Dynasty. It can be used to help the victims. It is an act of "benevolence". His reputation is unprecedented. Whoever touches him at this time will be punished by scholars all over the world, and his reputation will be greatly damaged!
"Wow wow wow..." The little guy grabbed Liu Bian's sleeve, stretched out his head, and opened his mouth, wanting to bite.

Seeing this, Liu Bian picked him up with a smile, and said to Sima Jun and Sima Lang's ancestors: "Sima Qing's family, our highness may be hungry, so I will take him back to the palace first. Or if you make irresponsible remarks about the age of the Qing family, you can go directly to the Deyang Hall to present it, and I will be the master of the Qing family."

Sima Jun showed gratitude, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian nodded, and carried Liu Shao out of the recruiting hall.

When Liu Bian walked away, Sima Lang couldn't hold it any longer. He opened his mouth to ask, but he held back abruptly. He stood behind Sima Jun, his eyes were anxious, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Sima Jun was silent for a moment, reached out to pick up the teacup, and said, "If you want to ask, just ask."

Sima Lang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said urgently: "Grandfather, what His Majesty meant outside just now is obviously to make use of that kind of script, why do you agree to punish severely now?"

From Sima Lang's point of view, what Liu Bian said to him before was that Zhongji was "deceitful but capable", and that he cared more about Zhongji's "capability" than loyalty and treachery.

Sima Jun originally judged in this way, so after Liu Bian showed a hint of his intention to revive him, he insisted on "severely punishing" Zhong Ji again and again, in order to conflict with Liu Bian, and tactfully refused to recruit.

"It can only be said that I am more useful than Zhongji." Sima Jun took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Sima Lang understood, he struggled, he hesitated to speak.

Sima Jun didn't say much, sitting on the chair, his old and hale and hearty face was a bit condensed.

Last year, Yang Biao asked him directly in public whether he wanted to become an official, but he declined.

He stayed in the capital and did not leave, looking for opportunities for his children and grandchildren to become an official. He never expected that he was planning for his children and grandchildren, but the palace was eyeing him!
