Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 11
Sima Fang didn't intend to ask Sima Lang to answer the question just now. Hearing what he said, he took up the previous conversation and talked eloquently: "In my father's opinion, when the troubled times are approaching, , My Sima family in Hanoi was originally a pillar of the Han Dynasty and a prominent family in the Celestial Dynasty. It has always been famous in the world for its literary and martial arts. Fenwu General Cao Cao led the Peijun Cao family, and the Jiangdong Sun family headed by the Changsha prefect Sun Jian and other wealthy families have already risen in the wind, trying to make meritorious deeds and start a business in the world... I, the Hanoi Sima family, must not be left behind. , You have to establish your own foundation and move with the times!"

"My lord father has a clear understanding of the current situation and foresight, the child has been educated." Sima Lang flattered.But after the flattery, Sima Lang still had many question marks in his heart that were difficult to solve: My Sima family was only from a famous Confucian family. , Powerful?How easy is it to rule the world and compete in the Central Plains? !

Although Sima Fang didn't turn around, a pair of eyes appeared on the back of his head, clearly seeing through his son's doubts.He was still talking to himself, and his long beard was blown away by the evening wind, showing an inexplicable mystery and depth: "Our Sima family must not underestimate ourselves. Lang Er , let’s do it according to the secret instructions that my father gave you before leaving last night! After returning to Hanoi County, don’t be in a hurry to seek refuge with any of the princes in the Kanto region, but to dive down immediately, secretly stockpile food and equipment, recruit soldiers and horses , Raise dead soldiers, and when the situation in the world is clear, take advantage of the opportunity to rise up! ——As a father, stay with His Majesty, keep abreast of the situation of the world's warring heroes, and send someone to contact you whenever there is trouble..."

"Baby must obey." Sima Lang's voice suddenly choked up, "Harry and my second brother left your side this time, which violates my Confucian motto of 'When parents are alive, don't travel far away', and I can't fulfill my filial piety for the time being— ——I also hope that my father will cherish it in the future!"

Sima Fang just stood silently in the evening wind, like a stone statue, after a long while, and then slowly replied: "Well, you all have to take care of this too! In this chaotic world, the situation is changing, success or failure It's hard to predict the sharpness, and we have to fight hard for the long-term prosperity of the Sima clan in Hanoi. I hope you don't live up to the ardent expectations of being a father..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, stopped talking, and walked slowly into the long pavilion.Sima Lang hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, following closely behind.

"My lord... Your painstaking efforts will be deeply missed by my son and younger brothers." Halfway through the walk, Sima Lang still couldn't hold back and said again, "Then, my second brother and my son will also go back to Wen County to do these things together." something?"

"Well... Yi'er is not yet 15 years old this year, she is still young and has little experience," Sima Fang suddenly eased his feet, and just raised his eyes to look at the sunset glow in the sky ahead, which was glowing red with the setting sun, and said lightly , "For the time being, it is not appropriate for him to participate too much in the great things you have done, because my father has other arrangements for him..."

Hearing what his father said, Sima Lang remained silent.

After entering the long pavilion, Sima Fang walked lightly behind Sima Yi who was contemplating the chess game with his head bowed, looked over from his neck, and carefully observed the two or three moves he made on the chessboard just now.

"Hehehe...Yi'er...Your move of the white piece is not clever enough!" Sima Fang stared at it for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "In my father's opinion, this move of the white piece is a little bit good. A little aggressive. Don’t look at the sunspots who seem to be on the defensive for a while, but their backs are coming closely... You! The few moves that took over for Weifu just now are not sophisticated and tactful."

Hearing his father's sudden words behind him, Sima Yi hurriedly got up from the stool, stepped aside and lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, and replied respectfully: "Father, you can have two purposes in your mind, and combine things with yourself." "

"Hehehe... You praised my father as 'the mind has two purposes, and things and me are one', which is a bit pretentious." Sima Fang rubbed his beard on his chest with a long smile, "It is said in the "Tao Te Ching": "Know people He who is wise is wise, and he who knows himself is wise." Being a father is actually just because of rich experience and knowledge, he is a little wiser than Yi'er, and he is more able to "consider each other and adapt to the situation". You are still young, Right now, you have such a state - as long as Yi'er is willing to concentrate on learning, in the future, your attainments in knowing people and things, judging the situation, and measuring the enemy will be far superior to that of a father."

Hearing this, Sima Yi was about to salute and thank him, but his father stopped him with a wave of his hand.There was a flash of light in the depths of his eyes, he looked straight at his son, and said slowly: "My Confucian school has the five virtues of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith'. From my father's point of view, Yi'er, among the five virtues of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness', you probably still have to work hard on the word 'wisdom'...'Governing the world should be virtuous, and in troubled times, strategy is important.' Now the world is in chaos. , in order to be able to establish, achieve, advance and communicate, Yi'er must pay more attention to the art of resourcefulness and strategy!"

"Father taught you the right thing, my child will remember it." Sima Yi bowed deeply and replied.

Sima Fang sat down on the wooden bench across from the blue stone table, took out a black stone from the chess bowl, held it in his palm and played with it for a while, before he said leisurely, "I heard that recently, in the Linglong Valley of Luhun Mountain in Henan Province, There was a great Confucian from Shandong called 'Xuantongzi' who founded a Ziyuan Academy, and Xun Sikong had visited that Academy in that academy.

"According to what Xun Sikong said, that Xuantongzi is actually a hermit master who is rare in a hundred years. Ziyuan Academy is a good place for you to practice great wisdom and great strategy. Yi'er, you should also want to seek this resource of helping the world and peace of the people, right? Maybe that Mr. Xuan Tongzi can teach you?"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silk from his sleeve, handed it to Sima Yi, and said, "This is a letter of recommendation written by Xun Sikong for my father, recommending you to go to Ziyuan Academy to learn from a teacher." Moreover, my father has ordered Luhun county magistrate to donate a lot of money, food, materials and utensils to Ziyuan Academy, and to express to that Mr. Xuantongzi that my Sima family respects Confucianism and education. Father should accept you as a disciple because of the kindness and courtesy of my father."

Sima Yi didn't expect his father to arrange for him so carefully while visiting a teacher, his face changed slightly, and his eyes immediately became wet.

Sima Fang ignored him, but picked up a wooden box on the bluestone table, held it in his palm, glanced at Niu Heng, handed it to Sima Lang, and said with a smile: "This wooden box is Your Majesty's As a reward to my father, a thousand-year-old ginseng that came as a tribute from Goguryeo. Langer, you can take it back for my father and give it to you, Uncle Niu De Niu. Thank you for my father, who has been serving Sima in Wenxian Xiaojingli for the past few years. You have worked hard at home. After returning to your hometown, you have to discuss everything with your uncle Niu, and you must respect your uncle Niu as if you were a father..."

Niu Heng heard it clearly from the side, and couldn't help being moved to tears, fell to the ground with a plop, and thanked in a trembling voice: "Master... Niu Heng thanked you for this on behalf of my father... You and all the young masters are very grateful to our Niu family. The great kindness and great virtue of the family, our Niu family can only repay it wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly..."

A narrow lane winds eastward over grassy plains.Along the road, there are barren rice fields and wheat fields everywhere.Looking from a distance, there are not many people in the sparsely populated villages.

A calf cart came creakingly from the west, followed by seven or eight guards in white clothes and white hoods, all of whom were so tired that they wiped the hot sweat from their foreheads.

Zhang Wang, the county magistrate of Suyi County, Hanoi County, who was sitting on the cart, turned his head and looked at them. His eyes were quite unbearable, and he sighed secretly in his heart.Originally, he himself didn't like the bureaucratic behavior of shouting and ostentatious. If it weren't for the chaos, the hungry people running around, and the bandits rampant, how could he have dispatched these government officials to escort him out for a trip?
"Father... Has Brother Zhong Da (Sima Yi's name Zhong Da) really returned to his hometown?" Zhang Chunhua, the daughter who was leaning on Zhang Wang's side, looked up at the east and murmured.She is only 13 years old this year, but she is already born with a beautiful figure, her face is like a jade carving, she is really cute, at first glance, I thought she was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old!

"You! I know that Brother Zhongda misses you! He really returned home..." Zhang Wang looked at his daughter with kindness in his eyes, and said with a smile.Three days ago, brothers Sima Yi and Sima Lang sent a joint invitation card, inviting him to bring his whole family to the Sima Mansion in Xiaojingli, Wen County. At that time, the first thought in Zhang Wang's heart was to bring his daughter Zhang Chunhua with him. .At this moment, he looked at Zhang Chunhua again, and said with a slight smile: "Chunhua! You and Zhongda were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts when you were young. When you were seven years old, he followed his father to Luoyang, the capital of the capital. We haven't seen each other for six or seven years. My father guessed that you have been missing him from the bottom of your heart, so he took you to his house to meet him for a banquet. After you meet him, you must pay attention to etiquette and manners, be dignified, generous, virtuous and chaste. Don’t let His Sima family joked about the etiquette of my Zhang family in Suyi..."

"Daddy! Look at what you said?..." Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but blushed with shame when he heard it, and hurriedly turned his face to the side, avoiding staring at his father, but turned his eyes to the one in Wen County's filial piety Direction, I thought to myself: Yes!In the blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed like water. I don't know what Brother Zhong Da looks like now, is he still as quiet and introverted as before? ...

Zhang Wang closed his mouth at this moment, and saw his daughter's expression clearly in his eyes.While he was secretly happy for his daughter, he also had a faint worry: Although his Zhang family in Suyi and their Sima family in Wen County were old friends, the two families had been very close since Sima Yi's grandfather, Sima Junshi, the prefect of Yingchuan. Intimacy...But in the past six or seven years, Sima Fang has been on the rise all the way, and he has achieved the position of Jing Zhaoyin with an official rank of two thousand stones... Does the Sima family still miss this old friendship? My Zhang family in Suyi will continue the friendship between Qin and Jin in the past?I remember that when Sima Jun was alive, he once saw Sima Yi, who was over three years old, playing with Zhang Chunhua, who had just turned two years old, playing in front of the hall, and said: "Chunhua is smart and cute, and she can be Zhongda's wife!" Of course, that might be a joke, but Zhang Wang himself kept it firmly in his heart.It is Zhang Wang's dream to be in-law with the Sima family, the most prominent family in Hanoi County.Back then, Zhang Chunhua's mother passed away early, and he had no heirs to inherit the family business, only Chunhua, his daughter - her lifelong event, but the most important event of the rest of my life!Sigh... At this moment, all I can do is beg the old man Yuexia to appear, so that the marriage between Chunhua and Sima Zhongda can be a natural marriage and go smoothly!
