Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 A Walk in Wen County (1)

"Retire!" At Li Song's signal, the eunuch immediately cleared his throat, and Xiao Huangmen's sharp cry sounded!Li Song got up and walked out, and all civil and military officials left the hall, otherwise, if Li Song didn't leave, who would dare to leave first.

When Sima Fang walked out of the main hall, there was a small yellow gate trotting over, and he saluted Sima Fang: "Master Sima! The prime minister is waiting for you at the south gate, please come and have a talk!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Sima Fang bowed his hands and walked towards the south gate.

When Sima Fang came to the south gate, he saw Li Song's car parked at the south gate, he hurried forward and saluted, "I'm going to sue Sima Fang, I've seen the prime minister!"

"Lord Sima is here!" Li Song smiled and said, "Come up and ride with me!"

"Prime Minister is really a disgraceful official! How dare an inferior official ride in the same car as the Prime Minister? It's not in accordance with the etiquette!" Sima Fang said.

Li Song smiled slightly, not paying attention to Sima Fang's words!What is impoliteness!I let you get in the car to save face, but what kind of etiquette are you telling me!
"It's okay! Just right, I still have something to ask you, come up! Let's talk as we walk!" Li Song said, reaching out to pat the railing.

"That's it! Sima Fang is going to be rude!" After saying that, Sima Fang lifted his hem, stepped on the small ladder brought by Li Song's personal guard, boarded Li Song's special car, and sat opposite Li Song.

The personal guard took away the small ladder, and the driver, with a whip in his hand, drove the eight horses to drive the car, moving forward slowly, the two of them sat quietly like this, neither of them spoke first to break the situation. Piece of tranquility!
"Lord Sima! I heard that your Sima family is a noble family in Hanoi, and your ancestor is Sima Ang, the king of Yin! Presumably, the descendants of the clan must have many talents! Why haven't you seen them serve the country!" After walking for a while, In the end, Li Song opened his mouth to break the tranquility!
"Prime Minister, praise!" Sima Fang cupped his hands and said, "The disciples in my family are useless! It is not easy to keep the family alive in this troubled world! I dare not have other extravagant hopes!"

"I heard that your son Sima Lang is talented and knowledgeable! Why not let him be an official in the court and serve the court!" Li Song asked.

"Report to the Prime Minister! How can my son's trivial tricks fall into the eyes of the Prime Minister? What the Prime Minister has heard is just hearsay, so it can't be true. What's more, my son is stubborn by nature!" Sima Fang said.

Li Song sneered in his heart, but said on his mouth: "I heard that when Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, you were still the censor at that time, so you asked your son Sima Lang to bring his family back to his hometown."

"The matter was known later, so this person went to Dong Zhuo and reported that his son Sima Lang wanted to escape. Dong Zhuo was very angry when he heard that he felt that your son had betrayed him, so he ordered someone to arrest him and was taken to Dong Zhuo. before."

"Dong Zhuo asked him angrily: You are the same age as my dead son, why did you betray me?"

"Your son Sima Lang said to Dong Zhuo: Now there are wars everywhere, the world is in turmoil, the people can't live and work in peace and contentment, and they are running around. Although strict punishments are imposed, they still can't be stopped. So he advised Dong Zhuo to think about these things, and he will become like Yi Yin. , Duke Zhou."

"Dong Zhuo was very happy after hearing this, and expressed his understanding. He did not punish the son, and finally let him go back. The son guessed that people like Dong Zhuo would surely perish, and he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would force him to stay, so he bribed Dong Zhuo with property. The people around me left Luoyang and returned to their hometown."

"His wisdom and courage are remarkable! He is beyond comparison with ordinary people! Yes and no!"

Looking at Li Song's meaningful smile, Sima Fang didn't hide it either. After all, you only need to check these things back then, and you can know that there is no point in covering up!What's more, he, Sima Fang, didn't even bother to do this.

"That's right! Quanzi did do this back then! There's nothing to cover up."

"Hahaha!" Li Song laughed and said, "Your Master's abilities are far more than that! For example, when you advised your fellow countrymen to move to Liyang to avoid wars, etc., they all show their extraordinary insight!"

"The Prime Minister wants to enlist your son Sima Boda to be the official of my prime minister's mansion and the master book of my prime minister's mansion. I don't know what advice Mr. Sima Fang has to offer!" Li Song seemed to be asking Sima Fang, but his tone could not be refused!
"Prime Minister! How can my son be so favored by the Prime Minister!" Sima Fang saluted, "However, I still need to go back and ask the dog's opinion on this matter!"

"The matter is settled like this! At that time, the imperial court will decree to enlist him as the head of the prime minister's mansion! The real prime minister is here, and I wish Sir Sima Fang in advance!" Li Song said.

Sima Fang secretly sighed in his heart, he knew that no matter whether he agreed or disagreed, in the end, his eldest son must also enter the prime minister's residence, Sima Fang bowed and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

"That's right! I heard that your son Sima Yi, Sima Zhongda, has few unusual features, is very clever, erudite, learned from Confucianism, always has a heart of compassion but worries about the world, and his ability is even higher than his brother, son Sima Lang! "

"The prime minister's mansion is short of talents right now, what's more, the prime minister also cherishes talents, why not let him come to my prime minister's mansion, and make him a literary master for the time being!" Li Song and Sima Fang stood on Sima Lang's body. After arguing so much, he finally revealed his purpose.

Sima Fang was taken aback!Unexpectedly, Li Song not only missed his eldest son, but also his second son.

"This matter, the lower officials can't decide! The Prime Minister recruited him to come here on his own. It doesn't make any sense for me, Sima Fang!" Sima Fang said.

"Hahaha! I have already sent people to Wen County, Hanoi County to enlist your two sons. Thinking about it, they should be in Wen County by now." Li Song laughed.

"Woo!" While the two of them were talking, they finally walked from the south gate of the palace to Sima Fang's mansion, and the coachman stopped the carriage in front of Sima Fang's mansion.

"Prime Minister's Sima Fang has arrived! Thank you, Prime Minister, for sending him off! Please also invite the Prime Minister to accompany me into the mansion for a cup of tea and a short rest!" Sima Fang saluted.

"No! There are important matters to deal with the truth! Don't disturb the peace of your mansion!" Li Song refused.

Sima Fang gave a salute, got out of Li Song's car, walked up the steps, turned around and gave Li Song another salute.

"Prime Minister! Where are we going? Are we going back to the manor?" The driver turned around and asked.

"Let's go! Go back to Tiance Mansion!" Li Song bowed back to Sima Fang and said to the coachman.

"Drive!" The coachman raised his whip and made a crackling sound in the air, whipping it on the horse's back, driving the horse to drive towards Tiance Mansion.

Sima Fang stood at the gate of the mansion, watching Li Song leave until he could no longer see him!Sima Fang just flicked his sleeves and walked into the mansion.
