The last three kingdoms

Chapter 524 Open and honest

Because of Sima You's special status, he is the second son of King Sima Zhao of Jin, and the step-son of Sima Shi, King of Jing. .

It seems that Sima Zhao's love for Sima You can also be seen from it, and he gave Sima You such a large mansion, the specifications and treatment far surpassed other princes.

The guard at the door knew Ji Xi very well, and greeted him with a smile from a distance: "Ji Sima, why don't you take a rest today because of your rest?"

Naturally, Ji Xi couldn't say much to these guards, he just casually said a few vague words, and asked, "Where is the lord?"

The guard said: "Unfortunately, Junhou just left."

Ji Xi's heart tightened, and he said hastily, "Where did Junhou go?"

The guard said: "Your Majesty went to Concubine Jing's place, and I heard that Concubine Jing is ill."

Concubine Jing is Sima Shi's survivor, Yang Huiyu. After Sima Zhao became King Jin, he respected his father Sima Yi as King Xuan, and his elder brother Sima Shi as King Jing. Sima Shi's wife, Yang Huiyu, was naturally Princess Jing.After Sima You adopted to Master Sima, Yang Huiyu became his stepmother. Sima You was filial to his mother and respected Yang Huiyu very much. Said that Yang Huiyu was slightly ill, Sima You immediately set off to King Jing's Mansion to visit without saying a word.

Ji Xi and Liu Yin looked at each other helplessly, although they came in a hurry, they were still one step behind and could not see Sima You at the first time.

Liu Yin didn't appear to be in a hurry. Frankly speaking, the matter wasn't too urgent. Since Sima You wasn't around, it wouldn't hurt to wait for him.

Ji Xi was highly valued by Sima You, so the people in Wuyanghou's mansion treated Ji Xi with courtesy. Ji Xi could act as half the owner of the post office in Wuyanghou's mansion. He invited Liu Yin to sit in the hall and ordered his servants to serve him tea. , while drinking and chatting.

Fortunately, after waiting for more than half an hour, a bell rang outside the gate of the mansion, and Sima You had already returned on horseback.

Sima You seemed to have heard the servant's report and knew that Ji Xi was waiting for him, so he stepped into the hall and said loudly: "Ji Sima, why is it so urgent? Oh, isn't this Mr. Wen? He has never greeted him far away, so he is rude." Sorry."

At the He Mansion banquet yesterday, Liu Yin had an extraordinary bearing and refined conversation, which left a deep impression on Sima You, so when he saw Liu Yin at his mansion today, Sima You was a little overjoyed.

Liu Yin clasped his hands and said, "I take the liberty to come here. You are an abrupt gentleman, and you beg for forgiveness."

Sima You laughed and said, "Mr. Wen is too modest. You are the honored guest I can't ask for. How can you be so rude. Ji Sima, Mr. Wen is a distinguished guest. How can we let him sit in the front hall? Hurry up and invite him." to the nave."

Seeing that Sima You respected Liu Yin so much, Ji Xi was also delighted, and hurriedly invited Liu Yin to the middle hall.

After both guests and hosts were seated, Sima You said: "Yesterday, I only hated the short time, and I didn't have a few words with Mr. Wen. Today, since Mr. Wen is here, you should have a drink and chat. If you don't get drunk, you won't go home."

At the He Fu banquet yesterday, there were so many people, so it was impossible for Liu Yin to talk about practical things with Sima You. He just babbled a few words about metaphysics. Only when everyone can't understand can you show your profound knowledge.During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, metaphysics was prevalent, and the vast majority of literati, if they did not talk about metaphysics, seemed unable to keep up with the trend, so advocating simplicity became a social trend, and when everyone met, they talked about false and empty words, which was nothing The actual meaning is just pretending to be profound.

Although Liu Yin didn't have an in-depth understanding of metaphysics, a person who came from the 21st century can learn some metaphysical and profound things at his fingertips, so the short conversation yesterday really made Sima You dizzy.

However, when Liu Yin came today, he didn't intend to continue the conversation at all. He directly said openly and honestly: "Jun Hou, Wen Mou came here today, and there is indeed an urgent matter to discuss with Jun Hou."

Sima You didn't expect Liu Yin to have a serious face, he thought it was Liu Yin who asked him for some difficulties, and said with a calm smile: "Mr. , must solve problems for Mr.

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "Wen is not in a hurry, but the prince is in a hurry."

Sima You couldn't help being astonished, and said: "Mr. Wen, why did you say that? Except for my mother's slight illness, there is nothing urgent."

Liu Yin couldn't help smiling wryly, this Sima You is really a naive big boy, no wonder, he just this year, he has not even reached the year of weak crown, strictly speaking he is a minor, the most sensitive political turmoil in the court seems to be It's still far away from him.

"The king of Jin was seriously ill last night. He urgently summoned the three important officials, Taifu Sima Fu, Taiwei Wang Xiang, and Situ Hezeng. Did the king know about it?"

As soon as he took care of this matter, Sima You's expression darkened a little, and he said quietly: "After the banquet in He's house last night, I heard the news that my father was seriously ill. Even if I rushed over there, the guards blocked me, so I couldn't leave with regret. Retire, but the news came from the imperial physician this morning that the father is fine, so my heart is at ease."

Liu Yin even gave a wry smile. It seems that Sima You really didn't understand what he meant. When he mentioned that Sima Zhao called Sima Fu and other three people to meet him, it goes without saying that it was not a meeting in the ordinary sense. In other words, Sima You seemed to only care about Sima Zhao's illness, and he didn't care about what happened behind him.

"I don't know what Junhou thinks about King Jin's arrangements after a hundred years?" Liu Yin didn't have the time to play Tai Chi with him, and went straight to the point.

Sima You frowned, as if he had never considered this issue. "I don't have any ideas. No matter what my father arranges, I will obey."

Hey, he is really a dutiful son, no wonder Sima Yan will plot him to death. In Liu Yin's view, Sima You is really a bit roundabout.

"Your Majesty, did you know that the King of Jin originally planned to pass on the throne to you, but now many ministers in the court objected, and the King of Jin was hesitant. He didn't know whether to stick to his own opinion or listen to everyone's opinions and pass the throne to his elder brother Sima Yan. There is still no conclusion yet.”

Sima You's face flushed crimson for a while, and he said: "As sons, we should naturally obey the wishes of the father. The father's order is greater than the sky. How to decide is naturally up to the father. Sons, No matter what, you can't force the father to change his mind."
