Shen Huang Yan Feng

6. Anfu Honor

In the sixth year of Xianning, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, was overjoyed for accepting the state of Wu.Changed Yuan Taikang.

One year after the peace and prosperity of the country, there is a trend of extravagance in Kyoto.

"Shen'er, I want to accompany you out of the palace to play today."

"Do you want to accompany me out of the palace to play, or to see the folk customs in Luoyang City?"

"I will definitely play with Shen'er."

"Tsk tsk. Wang Kai, the later general, who is it? That's the real uncle of today's emperor. I thought he went to compete with Shi Chong with a coral tree, but in the end he left Shifu alone in disgrace, without even compensation. Yes. This Sanqi Changshi's family is really a rich man. I am tall and handsome, and I am also a man of seven feet, so why can't I accumulate such a wealth."

"It's true what you said, Mr. Yang is the relative of the emperor's family, and Mr. Wang is the uncle of the emperor. It is reasonable for the two rich people to be extravagant. But I didn't expect Shi Chong, the regular servant of Sanqi, to be more powerful than these two. , even the items bestowed by the emperor failed to beat his family's inferior items! Tell me, what source of income did Shi Chong find?"

Shen Mu looked at the calm Sima Yan with great interest.

"I also heard people say that Shi Chong has an additional pavilion in the Golden Valley in Heyang, named Golden Valley Garden. The pavilions and pavilions are exquisite. The beauty of the Golden Valley is beautiful and heavenly. Even the worst beauties can probably get along with them. The emperor's concubines are similar."

In a teahouse, Sima Yan and Shen Mu had just sat down when they heard the guests beside them chatting.After hearing this, Sima Yan still drank his tea calmly.He is definitely different from Shen Mu who laughed and sprayed tea.

"If you say such things, you don't want to kill yourself." After looking at the guests around vigilantly, Gao Hao whispered worriedly.

"Hey, this is already known to everyone. Could it be that the common people are all guilty after talking about it?"

Shen Mu laughed in his heart: If this Shi Chong doesn't spread out his family wealth quickly, it will be hard to end well!

Shen Mu wiped the tea off his mouth with a handkerchief.Then, he looked at Sima Yan with a wide smile.And he smiled at him gently.The two sat for a while, then got up and went out.After walking for a while, they came to a gazebo, and the two went in and sat down.

"Ah Yan, just now that person said that none of your five thousand concubines is better-looking than the few concubines in Shi Chong's family. Are you convinced?"

"That's why I love you the most."

"Ah Yan, what kind of coral tree does your uncle use to compare with Shi Chong?" Shen Mu asked with great interest after glaring at Sima Yan.

"I gave him a coral tree two or three feet long, and he immediately took it to Shi Chong's mansion to show it to others, but Shi Chong smashed it to pieces with an iron ruyi. Then he took out dozens of coral trees three or four feet long. come to the coral tree and tell my uncle, if you want to get compensation, you can choose these!"

"It turns out that you made your uncle lose face."

"I originally planned to give my uncle treasures for a few days to make him feel at ease. Who knew he was so anxious to compare his wealth with others. However, I really underestimated Shi Chong's financial resources. But if I were him, I would Not like what he did."

"Ah Yan thinks that Shi Chong should not reveal his wealth. And what he is doing now is really seeking his own death."

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. How could you be a small cavalry servant in Shi Chong to have such a wealth of furniture in a weak year? If he hadn't let his relatives pretend to be thieves when he was the governor of Jingzhou, Looting the rich merchants and tycoons of the past, and stealing people's property, how can he get rich in a short period of time. If I didn't see his contribution to my victory over Wu, I would have treated him in the same way as he did."

"Ah Yan wants to be a thief too?"

"My country's treasury is full, and I don't have his preferences. Well, today I am going out to play with Shen'er, and I can't spoil your mood because of him."

"You can remember it!"

"I will compensate you now." Sima Yan said softly.Then, he hugged Shen Mu tightly, wanting to kiss his red lips.

Snapped!There was the sound of the folding fan falling to the ground.That was the fan of Sima You, the emperor's younger brother, King Qi!Startled by the sound, Sima Yan let go of Shen Mu, and when he turned his head to look, he was just as stunned as Sima You.Seeing that this person was Queen Qi, Shen Mu immediately blushed.

"Did the second brother also go out for an outing?" Sima Yan stood up, looked at Sima You gently, and asked calmly.At the same time, she held Shen Mu's hand tightly to prevent him from escaping.

"Brother, I see the weather is very good, so I can't help but go out of the mansion for a walk."

"Then the second brother will continue to enjoy the scenery." Sima Yan said gently.Then, he held Shen Mu's hand tightly and left with him.

"Ah Yan's martial arts are so high, he wouldn't know that Sima You is here. Why are you doing this?"

"I was distracted just now, I really didn't know someone was coming."

In the third year of Taikang, Sima Yan led all his officials to worship the sky in the southern suburbs.Of course Shen Mu was among them.

"I am comparable to Emperor He of the Han Dynasty?"

"Comparable to Huan Ling!"

Then, one of the courtiers suddenly said to him dismissively.And his words made the other ministers look horrified.Shen Mu took a leisurely look at the upright courtier, and at Sima Yan who looked calm.

"Liu Yi, although I am not virtuous, how can I be compared with Huan Ling?"

"Huan Ling sells the official, and the money goes to the national treasury. Your Majesty sells the official, and the money goes into his private pocket. Thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that your majesty is not as good as Huan Ling!"

Shen Mu also really wanted to know how Sima Yan, who was not prepared at all, would deal with this accusation.

Sima Yan smiled when he heard the words, and said gently to Liu Yi: "Huan Ling didn't hear such words, but now I have such admonishing ministers, after all, I am higher than Huan Ling."

This Sima Yan's treacherous power can be glimpsed from this.

"Shen'er, does it mean that the more others belittle me, the happier you will be?"

"It's true that your favorite minister took bribes, and you really didn't get a single coin. This person is not wrong at all."

"I don't know that the Three Yangs exercise power, but the Jia family also holds a heavy army. The ministers who are left to assist the emperor must not be them. The situation in the court is complicated. I want to wait for them to fight each other, so as to reap the benefits. Then, you can leave a comfortable throne for the emperor. Shen'er, when anyone holds a lot of power, they will start to be arrogant and domineering, and there will be no exceptions."

"Understood. Ah Yan, Yin Ximei sent a letter saying that he will come to see me in the capital tomorrow, just in time for him to give you another pulse to see how your body is recovering."

"Whether my body is healthy, Shen'er still doesn't know?"

The next morning, after morning, Shen Mu went to pick up Yin Ximei, but Xiao Feng hurried to look for Sima Yan.

"Your Majesty, when King Qi returned home, he suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma."

"What! Let the imperial doctor go to Qi Wang's mansion to see a doctor for Qi Wang. Wait, let Mu Wang take Yin Ximei to Qi Wang's mansion."

"Yes, the slave will go right away."

When Shen Mu brought Yin Ximei back to the palace, Sima Yan immediately asked, "How is King Qi doing now?"

"To put it simply, four words are fatal. Or the other four words are powerless."

"Chen'er, you go out first." Sima Yan said calmly after a long silence.Shen Mu looked at Sima Yan worriedly, but still walked out.

"Yin Ximei, what's wrong with him?"

"His illness is the same as yours."

"Since his illness is the same as mine, why can't he be cured?"

"When you had a chest pain back then, you went to the imperial doctor to treat it, but he had endured it for many years and couldn't stand it, so he showed pain. At this time, even if you invite Bian Que, I'm afraid it can't be cured. his illness."

"Can he last as long as me?"

"I can only let him live for another year and a half."

"Then I will thank you. I will give you more than a dozen boxes of jewelry as a reward."

"You'd better give me less treasure, I'm afraid I won't feel at ease when I use it."

A few days later, Sima You's body looked normal.Then, he can go to court again.

"After being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, the king of Qi is fine. Since this is the case, now I have appointed the king of Qi as the great Sima, and the governor of the Qingzhou military. After waiting for the old age, we will set off immediately."

Sima You immediately stood there in shock, forgetting such important things as Xie En.The opposition from the ministers could not make Sima Yan change his original intention.Just because of keeping the year old, King Liuqi lived in Kyoto until the next year.

"I'm not dead, so there's no need to mourn for me. King Qi is not dead, so there's no need to mourn for him!" Sima Yan said coldly to the few imperial relatives who were begging for mercy.Then, he stood up indifferently and walked away.

Another day, Sima You went to the palace to meet Sima Yan.

"Your Majesty, I would like to guard the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum for the rest of my life, and I hope the Emperor will allow it." Sima You kowtowed as he said.

Sima Yan secretly felt distressed, but he still said coldly: "I won't allow it!"

"Your brother accepts the decree to thank you." Sima You said disheartenedly.Although he received the decree, when he kowtowed, he couldn't help but think of how many times he vomited blood in the mansion.He asked the imperial doctor to hide it from Sima Yan because he was afraid that he would be worried, but it turned out that he didn't care about his life or death at all.

"Ah Yan, why are you bothering? Why don't you let him stay in the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum, and the imperial doctor in the capital can treat him."

"Sima You has deprived me of my parents' favor for many years. Since he only has a year or so to live, there is no need for me to let him stay in the capital." Sima Yan said coldly.I absolutely cannot let him die by my side!

"Ah Yan."

"Shen'er, there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have given up my mind."

After Shou Sui, in the fourth year of Taikang, Sima Yan successively issued edicts to let Sima You set off.

Sima You was well-groomed, and after tidying up carefully, he respectfully entered the palace to bid farewell.When he got into the carriage, he almost fainted from weakness, and he barely stood still while supporting the carriage.Sima Yan was indifferent, watching him leave with a calm expression.

If he hadn't seen Sima Yan's right hand stretched out nervously, but then reluctantly retracted, even Shen Mu would have felt that their brothers were at odds.

Two days later, Sima Yan suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and he tightly covered it with his hands.

"Ah Yan, what's wrong with you! Tell the imperial doctor!" Shen Mu hurriedly supported Sima Yan and said anxiously.

"No need." Sima Yan held Shen Mu's hand tightly and said sadly.

"Your Majesty, King Qi was dying of illness on the journey, he vomited blood and died."

"Get out!" Sima Yan said coldly.

"Sima You has been loved by his parents since he was a child. The first time he wrote a crooked character, the queen mother praised him lovingly for three days. But I wrote a handsome hand, and the queen mother didn't even look at it. Not to mention praise. Even when my mother died, even though she was already at odds with me, she did not forget to tell me to ask me to treat him favorably. Sima You was not good at swordsmanship or war, but his father let him I am in charge of heavy troops. But I am full of martial arts and very good at the art of war, but I have no military power. I am at odds with him! Why should I be so sad when he died? Why!" Sima Yan said while crying, and then simply hugged Shen Mu cried a lot.Shen Mu could only pat him on the back lightly, and comfort him beside him.

When Sima You's coffin was transported back to Kyoto, Sima Yan took care of his funeral with utmost respect.No matter how powerful a person is, there will always be dull days.In a blink of an eye, a year has passed.After that, the biggest thing involved the crown prince.

All the emperor's relatives whispered in whispers, and some ministers secretly spoke.They really felt that the prince was not very talented.In order to determine whether to abolish the prince, Sima Yan began to investigate the prince's knowledge.It's just that the prince was asked to do problems in his own palace.This is obviously an intention to let him go.

"Ah Yan, you don't seem to want to abolish the prince."

"My eldest grandson is very intelligent. If the Jin Dynasty is in his hands, I can rest assured. It's just that the world is unpredictable. If it can't be like this in the future, after my death, all the heroes in the world will rely on their own abilities."

Six years of time can change everything.For example, Sima Yan's sea-like affection for Shen Mu was also dried up by the sun that comes out every day.

In the 11th year of Taikang, at the end of the year, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan chose another five thousand beauties to enter the palace as concubines.

Sing every day!

Sima Yan lay on the lap of a beauty, ate the grapes handed by another beauty, and said to all the beauties with a smile: "Come on, you all sing a little song for me, and let me listen to that tactful little tune."

"Yes." Several seductive beauties stood up while talking.Some people dance lightly, some people sing softly.Those beautiful maids played flute to add to the fun.

Sima Yan got excited, stood up, took a few beauties with him, and was about to get into the sheep cart together.

"Your Majesty, King Mu will meet you."

"I'm busy with government affairs, and I don't have the skills to spare. Let him go back."

"Yes, this servant will let King Mu go back." Xiaofeng said respectfully.But King Mu came over angrily.

"What's the matter, love?"

"My humble minister, please move the emperor."

"Hey, you guys go take a shower first. I will ask Xiaofeng to pick you up later."

"Yes." All the beauties said happily.

"You're so good, I just like you guys." Sima Yan said happily.Then, he reluctantly turned and left.Shen Mu walked together with a dark face.

"What's the important thing for King Mu to break into the inner hall of the palace?" Sima Yan said to him indifferently, leaning lazily on a pillar on the courtyard porch.

"Ah Yan, you once swore to me that you would never favor another woman again in this life! Are you using 1 beauties in the harem to prove that you are a man of promise!"

"Young and frivolous, if you say something wrong for a while, King Mu shouldn't hold on to it."

When Shen Mu heard this, her blood surged up for a while, and she couldn't speak, she just looked at Sima Yan with glaring eyes, wishing she could kill him.

"Mu Wang, you don't have to be angry. There is one thing I have always wanted to ask you. In the past 27 years, have you ever loved me one day, or one hour, even just for a moment? I tell you, no, you don't have any love at all. never loved me!"

"Ah Yan has always felt that way?"

"Mu Wang, the first time you entered the palace to see me, if it wasn't for my strong martial arts, you would have wanted to kill me. Every time I keep you by my side, you hate me to the bone. I am monitoring my every move, intending to plot something wrong. King Mu, you don’t have to make things difficult in the future. I will give you a comfortable life.”

Shen Mu clasped his hands tightly, and after a long time, he stretched out his left hand with a jade wrench in front of Sima Yan, and said coldly, "In that case, I'll give you this back."

Sima Yan smiled, and reached out to pick the jade wrench from Shen Mu's hand.Then, ignoring the anger on his face, he took off the jade wrench from his hand, looked at him and said calmly, "Give it back to you."

He originally thought that Shen Mu would grit his teeth and leave.When he couldn't see his back, Sima Yan was about to faint in peace.But he was holding on to the jade wrench he gave him, and stood there stubbornly, motionless.

"Does King Mu have anything else to say? By the way, please burn that phoenix wedding dress. Anyway, there is no need to keep it." Sima Yan said calmly.Hearing this, Shen Mu became anxious, turned around and left.

"For all these years, what is my position in your heart?" After walking a few steps, Shen Mu suddenly stopped and asked in a deep voice without looking back.

Sima Yan looked at his back tenderly, but said without interest: "For example, Shen'er's appearance was destroyed, or he was taken away by a swordsman with peerless martial arts, or, you and I are at odds with each other, so I miss you so much." Thinking about it, your weight in my heart will also be lightened."

Shen Mu walked forward angrily, but every time she took a step, she would think of something.

In the first step, Shen Mu recalled the scene of first entering the palace.He firmly said that in the future, I will definitely make King Mu very satisfied every day.

In the second step, Shen Mu remembered the first time he had skin-to-skin contact with him, when he hugged him and said gently to him.I am not as good as Long Yang, I just fell in love with you wholeheartedly.

In the third step, Shen Mu remembered the words in the letter he handed him after he chose his concubine, he was angry and refused to see him.I know I was wrong, so let’s not make an example.

In the fourth step, Shen Mu remembered that Empress Yang once sent five thousand beauties into the palace to be Sima Yan's concubines.When they reconciled, Sima Yan smiled helplessly and said to him, even if the queen puts all the beauties in the world into my palace, I still only like you, Shen Er.

In the fifth step, Shen Mu remembered that he personally killed his queen in front of him back then, but he didn't say anything, just helped him suppress the matter.

In the sixth step, Shen Mu remembered the time when he married Sima Yan.

In the seventh step, Shen Mu turned around and shouted to Sima Yan: "I don't believe it! Let me tell you, I don't believe anything you said today!"

Sima Yan spat out a few mouthfuls of blood with a wry smile.

Shen Mu strode over, holding the pale-faced Sima Yan's waist with both hands, and anxiously said to him: "Ah Yan! What's wrong with you, Ayan?"

"This is the sixth time I have vomited blood this year, and Yin Ximei's medicine is useless to me. Shen Er, the worst thing I have done in my life is knowing that I will die early, but I am still reluctant to let you go. "Sima Yan said angrily.

"The worst thing you did in your life was not that you were reluctant to let go of me, but that you played 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' to me."

Sima Yan sighed inwardly, and finally fainted uncontrollably.Let Shen Mu hug him and shout his name.

This time, the imperial doctors finally revived Sima Yan.It's a pity that the medicines used by the imperial doctors were all palliatives, not the root cause, and Sima Yan was still seriously ill.

"You all leave."

Sima Yan didn't talk to Shen Mu either, but looked tenderly at the jade wrench in the palm of his right hand.When he saw it, he snatched it up, put it on again, and gave Sima Yan the jade ring finger in his hand to put it on.

"Ah Yan, I have a few things I want to ask you."

"What does Shen'er want to know?"

"When did you know that I was trying to plot something wrong?"

"The first day Shen'er entered the palace, or a few years earlier. My meticulous works are all over the world."

"You are the emperor, and you can call it meticulous work by arranging some subordinates to do things. By the way, do you look down on my martial arts?"

"Although Shen'er used to be a great general guarding the frontier, your martial arts are really bad. When I didn't see you, I always felt that my martial arts were very poor, but after I saw you, I realized that I was better than you anyway."

"You wait for me! Wait for you to recover and see how I deal with you."

"When I get better, I'll play chess and piano with you, enjoy the flowers and the moon."
