Huan Rong

After Emperor Yuan moved to the south, he followed the old city of Wu State and built a palace city on the basis of Taichu Palace, Zhaoming Palace and Yuancheng, named Jiankang City, also known as Taicheng.

Taicheng has a rectangular shape with a circumference of eight miles. It was built in imitation of Luoyang Palace, with a total of more than [-] halls and pavilions.It also has the architectural style of the South, with embroidered doors, carved pots, carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely exquisite.

The main hall is the Taiji Hall, which is the place where the court ceremony is held and the emperor handles government affairs and daily life.

Behind the hall is the Xianyang Hall, also known as the Jiaofang, which is the palace where the empress lives for a long time.

Since Empress Yu passed away, the palace has always been empty.After Sima Yi was abolished, Sima Yu became the lord of Taicheng, and all the concubines in the harem wanted to be the lord of Xianyang, but unfortunately the emperor would not let go, and no one could get their wish.

The Empress Dowager's residence is named Changle Palace, imitating the Han system.Limited by the conditions, it is not half as good as the Han Changle Palace in terms of scale and exquisiteness. It was damaged by the rebellious army and was rebuilt when the Empress Dowager Chu moved in.

After the court meeting was over, Sima Yu specially summoned Huan Rong, intending to bring him to the Changle Palace with him.

"Nankang has always known etiquette. When entering the palace today, you must go to the Queen Mother."

Huan Rong pouted secretly, always feeling that there was something in the words.It is inconvenient to get to the bottom of it, so I can only resign from the car and insist on walking.

Just kidding, the scumbag father has to walk in and out, so what's the matter with him taking a car?

Besides, it's not the ordinary Che Yu, but the Emperor Jin Yu, in the eyes of others, do you want to go to heaven or do you want to go to heaven?

His mother is the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, with a distinguished status, so it is understandable for Sima Yu to confer the honor.

Whether his surname is Huan, it doesn't matter whether the other party has good intentions or malicious intentions, even if it's a sincere compliment - although the possibility is very low, this honor must be declined, and it is absolutely unacceptable.

"Your Majesty's love, I am grateful. However, the rules in the palace are like this, and I dare not violate them."

Huan Rong cupped his hands, making a gesture to kneel on the ground.

All the officials hadn't left yet, seeing this move, they didn't know the inside story, so they couldn't help showing surprise.

Sima Yu was a little embarrassed, helped Huan Rong up, and ordered the eunuch to carry away the carriage, saying: "I'm with Anu. We usually sit in the palace, so we should move around."

Sima Yu was handsome, in his early fifties, with a long beard floating on his chest, and silver strands in his temple hair.Perhaps because of the emphasis on health preservation, she doesn't look old at all, but has a bit of a fairy spirit.

Is this the difference between real celebrities and fakes?

Huan Rong secretly gritted his teeth, firmly refusing to admit it, his head flooded for a while, and he scolded himself.

"Anu traveled to study in the early years and worshiped under the great Confucianism of the Zhou family. I also heard about it."

Sima Yu held Huan Rong's right hand, with a gentle smile and a gentle tone, without the slightest airs of a king, just like a kind elder who would sincerely say a few words of caring when he met a junior he loved.

"Your Majesty has too much reputation, I dare not be a minister." Huan Rong bowed his head.

"It's right." Sima Yu smiled, "The great Confucianism has a saying, Anu is talented and beautiful. I also think that with Anu's talent, he will become the pillar of the country. If he makes great achievements in the future, he will be able to carry the country and support the orthodoxy."

Huan Rong didn't answer.

This is not a good answer.

Good talents and beautiful jade are praises, and the pillars of the country are raised high, carrying the tripod of China, and supporting the orthodox?

Don't mention whether he has reached this level, or what kind of ambition he has in mind, if you dare to nod at this moment, you will definitely step into a pit.If it is a few words of modesty, it will appear too hypocritical, and in the eyes of later generations, the words "duplicity" will not escape.

It is better to keep silent than to say the wrong thing and fall into the pit.

Say less and make less mistakes, at most you will give a "dumb" evaluation.

Of course, Sima Yu would not believe that he was really dull.But given Huan Rong's current situation, his acting skills are not good enough, it's safest to play dumb.

The two walked ahead, chatting and laughing from time to time.Sima Yao followed behind, suppressed his jealousy, and considered whether he should make friends with Huan Rong.If you make up your mind, where should you start?

Really fulfilling what Princess Nankang said, Huan Rong doesn't need to bother at all, relying on the strength in his hands, others will take the initiative to please.

The rain gradually stopped, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun evaporated water vapor, which soon became muggy again.

Fortunately, Changle Palace was not far from Taiji Hall, and there were eunuchs and maidservants holding up umbrellas, and it was shady.Switched to the scale of the palace of the Western Han Dynasty, blisters would definitely appear on the soles of the feet, and hot sweat would break out.

When the imperial driver arrived at Changle Palace, eunuchs had already entered the palace to report.

At that time, the public car that Princess Nankang was riding in was parked in front of the palace, which was very conspicuous.

Sima Yu passed by, and blinked at Huan Rong, as if to say: What, I'm right?

Huan Rong was stunned.

Did the emperor blink just now?

Should it be said that the old handsome guy is still full of charm, or is this world a little fantasy?

Since time travelling, he has discovered that the real historical figures are quite different from the historical records, just like the Sima Yu in front of him, who was known in history as "pure emptiness and few desires, especially good at talking". Few desires” is debatable.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Empress Dowager Chu and Princess Nankang greeted them out of the palace gate.

According to the identity, the former need not be the case.However, Sima Yu's seniority is higher, and he can't follow the convention at all.

The emperor is an uncle, and the queen mother is a nephew and daughter-in-law.

Throughout history, it is really rare.

Behind them were four or five concubines, all wearing silk jackets and silk skirts, with high buns.There are similar golden hairpins on the hairpin, which are not small in weight. In terms of delicacy, they are far inferior to those worn by Princess Nankang and Queen Mother Chu.

The Jin Dynasty continued the Wei system, and had strict regulations on the dressing of concubines and wives.You can not abide by it outside the palace, and occasionally get more strict, but you can't do it when you enter the palace.Especially when the empress is not yet established, and the Jiaofang is waiting for a vacant seat, everyone must strictly abide by the rules and not let others pick out the slightest mistake.

Sima Yu returned the salute to Empress Dowager Chu and called everyone.

Huan Rong took half a step forward, and bowed his hands in salute.

Sima Yao stepped forward at the same time, and retreated silently after saluting.Since Sima Yu ascended the throne, in order to avoid suspicion, the relationship between him and Queen Mother Chu has not been close, even estranged.

Empress Dowager Chu only nodded to Sima Yao, but smiled at Huan Rong: "Gua'er is here, and I just mentioned to your mother that I haven't seen you in the palace these days, so don't delay."

This remark sounds nothing at first, but the problem can be found after careful inspection.

Huan Rong said that he didn't dare, and explained: "Back to the queen mother, I went out of the city yesterday to meet the family lord, and I will do my best."

They dug a hole when they first met, and Huan Rong would only jump into it when he was stupid.

Officials from other places return to Beijing and have to go to court the next day.But he handed over the form in advance, asked for leave, and it was recorded in one of the three provinces, and there was no official reason for it.As for the others, a "son of filial piety" can be blocked.

As a son of man, it is only natural to go to see your own father first.Carrying the banner of "filial piety" on our shoulders can be said to be invincible.

disagree?

You can have a debate with Sima Huan.

Do you dare to say a thousand words and ten thousand words?

After the words fell, Huan Rong stood aside respectfully, not saying a word, his "honesty" made people itch.

Mrs. Chu didn't show up behind her, her heart tossed a few times, and her liver hurt from being blocked.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Princess Nankang, who was nodding and chuckling.Looking back, with a mocking smile, the Empress Dowager Chu couldn't help but get angry and almost fainted again.

"Gua'er is filial."

The four words were almost squeezed out between the teeth, Huan Rongquan pretended not to understand the meaning behind it, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager praises it."

Empress Dowager Chu: "..."

Is she praising him? !

Huan Rong raised his head, and he took it for granted.

Princess Nankang smiled even wider. Sima Yu coughed and walked into the hall first.

It was only then that everyone realized that it was disrespectful for the Emperor to be left hanging in front of the door while patronizing the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The crowd surrounded Sima Yu and walked into the inner hall, where the tea soup and cakes were all ready.

The eunuch's palace maid stood on both sides, gently shaking the palace fan, sending a cool breeze to dissipate the heat in the palace.

Sima Yu picked up the teacup, just touched his lips and put it aside.Then he said with a smile: "As autumn is approaching, the Empress Dowager needs to be careful. I heard that a doctor was called a few days ago?"

The emperor spoke, and the queen mother thanked her for her concern. Although the dialogue was a bit awkward, the atmosphere in the hall finally became warm.

Huan Rong sat upright, holding a teacup in his hand, just like Sima Yu, who didn't touch any water.Listen carefully and listen to the continuous sharpness of the two sides, fighting with each other, stabbing each other, as if watching a big show, watching with relish.

Princess Nankang felt a little funny, but also a little sad and helpless.

This is the Jin room.

The empress dowager and the emperor are at odds. Unless one side retreats, there will never be peace in Taicheng.

"Mother?"

"Nothing." Princess Nankang said in a low voice, "Can I see your father at the court meeting today?"

"No." Huan Rong shook his head, "Jun Xi is not here either."

"Where is Xi Jingxing?"

"I saw it, but I didn't have time to speak. I see Xi Shilang with a bit of worry."

A few words explained the situation, and outsiders could not hear the clues. Princess Nankang thought for a moment, her heart moved slightly, and a smile slowly appeared.

From this point of view, the situation of the old slave is indeed not good.Even if I go back to Gushu, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days.

When the two were talking, several Shuyis were all looking at Huan Rong.

As for Sima Yao who followed, he was sitting quietly beside Li Shuyi, completely serving as the background.

"My concubine heard that the Duke of Fengyang County went to Kuaiji to study at the age of ten, worshiped under the great Confucianism, and was praised as a talented and beautiful jade. Today's face-to-face, the rumors are true." Xu Shuyi spoke first.

She is Sima Daofu's biological mother, and she was the favorite of Sima Yu in her early years.Even if she is a young woman, she still has spring in her eyebrows and eyes, and her charm still exists.

"That's not it." Hu Shuyi covered her mouth and chuckled, her face could only be considered pretty, but her voice was exceptionally sweet, like a young girl, "It is often said in the world that Mr. Xie's lord Zhilan Yushu, Mr. Wang's lord is extraordinary. Today I can see Xiao Lang, It's also Xuanxuan Shaoju, who is so young and out of the ordinary. No wonder he was besieged by the Qinhuai River a few days ago."

"Mr. Lang, a great talent, has been in office for only one year. He has repeatedly performed good governance, making the people of Youzhou rich and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is really an extraordinary move."

Wang Shuyi was born in a noble family, and she was a concubine's concubine, so she had some knowledge.The face is honest, the tone is sincere, even if the words are slightly exaggerated, it will not make people feel embarrassed.

"Shuyi, thank you."

"Where?" Wang Shuyi smiled, seeing Huan Rong's cheeks flushed slightly, she felt a little love for her.

She also gave birth to a son in her early years, so Sima Yu named her Tianliu, which shows her love for her.It is a pity that the son failed to survive the illness and died without ordering his teeth.The eldest son born to the princess was also imprisoned due to a mistake, and died in depression.

If the son is still alive, or if Tianliu is still alive, where is it a handmaiden's turn to be proud!

Thinking of Li Shuyi, Wang Shuyi was inevitably heartbroken, with a bit of expression on her face.

Unconsciously, someone said at this moment: "Your Majesty is talented and virtuous, and has an outstanding appearance. Have you ever settled for a girl?"

This question was really rude, not only Princess Nankang, but even the leader Sima Yu frowned.

Sima Yao moved a little slowly, unable to stop his mother.Seeing Sima Yu looking over, he could only grit his teeth secretly, and carefully tugged on Li Shuyi's sleeve, hoping that she would shut up and not cause trouble at this time.

Huan Rong followed the sound, and suddenly his teeth became sore.

This is the famous Li Shuyi?

I haven't seen the face before, so the impact is not too big.Now that I can see it clearly, I have to admire Sima Yu, he can do it like this, and he has two sons and one daughter. It can't be said that the taste is too strong, so I can only praise him as a "hero"!

Nowadays, fair skin is regarded as the most beautiful, but Li Shuyi's blackness is very dark, no matter how thick the powder is applied, it is useless.It doesn't matter if it's just black, and the facial features are a bit unreal, not to mention that when it was born, its face fell to the ground first, and it was also slapped by a door panel the day after tomorrow.

Some people in later generations deduced that this person was probably of African descent, or was an aborigine from an island country such as India. Looking at it now, the possibility is indeed not small.

"Auntie, don't say any more."

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly cold, Sima Yao's forehead was sweating, he didn't care about other things, and persuaded in a low voice: "The marriage of the Fengyang County Duke has the eldest princess and the father, and the aunt is still..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Shuyi and Hu Shuyi looked at each other, their eyes were cold, and they were very "concerned" about Huan Rong's life-long events.

What Li Shuyi's original intention is, it is not easy to ascertain for the time being.The intentions of the two are very clear, if Huan Rong has not yet married, can their own girls consider it?

Ever had a "difference" before?

It's okay, it's just a small thing.

When in-laws are formed, the past melts away.

The most important thing is that if the girl is sent to the Huan Mansion, it will not benefit the family at all.If it weren't for the fact that the princesses were still young and their seniority was wrong, they still didn't want to be in the clan.

Sima Daofu was able to marry into the Huan family, just like Princess Nankang, out of political considerations.The one who married was a concubine, so he could barely marry by marriage.

Huan Rong is not.

He is the son of Princess Nankang, and he is actually a generation shorter than the princesses.The possibility of getting married is infinitely reduced, almost approaching zero.

Seeing through the other party's plan, Princess Nankang was amused.Glancing at Sima Yu, seeing that he didn't say anything, he simply shook his sleeves and said bluntly, "Last year, Mrs. Xie wanted to get married, but the sorcerer has something to say, my son should not be too early." Getting married, even if it is a pity, I can only push it off."

"Mr. Xie?" Wang Shuyi frowned, "Which Mr. Xie?"

"Which Xie clan is there in Jiankang City?" Princess Nankang asked back.

"Could it be Chen County Xie?"

"nature."

Like a thunderbolt, the hall fell into silence for an instant.

Chen Jun Xie?

Wang Shuyi and Hu Shuyi's eyes widened, and they couldn't export the finished manuscript.

They wanted to say nonsense about Princess Nankang, how could the dignified Xie family of Chen Jun condescend to marry the Huan family, or would they take the initiative to come to the door?

Carefully observe Princess Nankang's expression, she is full of confidence and does not seem to be lying at all.

In an instant, bewilderment, unwillingness, irritability and even anger surged together, and the feeling was really hard to describe.

The Xie family in Chenjun has not yet reached its peak, and it is a bit behind the Wang family in Taiyuan.However, Xie An's reputation is far and wide, and Xie Xuan and other outstanding gentlemen have long been regarded as the top family.

Marriage with the Xie family is something that few of them dare to think about.

Never expected that Mrs. Xie would take the initiative to propose marriage to Huan Rong, but Princess Nankang believed in the sorcerer's words, so she turned down such a good offer!

Several Shuyi couldn't hide their shock, Sima Yu and Queen Mother Chu were in complicated moods.

Sima Yao lowered his head, thinking of his future wife, he clenched his fists uncontrollably, his eyes were red with jealousy.

Throwing this thunder, Princess Nankang stopped talking and let the other party "digest".

Will it cause indigestion?

What is it with her?

It's best for these people to stop thinking about stuffing all the mess.Given their family backgrounds, being a concubine is considered exalted, wanting to be a first wife?How big is the face?

Huan Rong remained silent, allowing his mother to stab her hard with the knife.

Stabbing to death and wounding at will.

It really made the person above him anxious, and at worst he took his mother and left Jiankang.If he could really make this happen, he would also like to thank the other party.

However, to avoid trouble, you need to send a letter to Xie Xie after you go back to explain the matter clearly.

Since Xie was pushed out as a shield, the benefits that should be given must be given.He didn't think Xie An and Xie Xuan would care, but the Xie clan always wanted to give an explanation.

If it is used by someone with a heart, to deliberately spread rumors and provoke the relationship between the two families, it will definitely not be worth the loss, and it will be harmful to the future development without any benefit.

After a brief shock, several Shuyi tasted it, and decided not to mention the matter of getting married.The topic turned to Youzhou merchants, especially interested in spices and jewelry from Xiyu City.

"I heard there are maritime merchants in Youzhou?"

"Indeed." Huan Rong nodded, turned to Sima Yu, and said with a smile, "The sea route was just opened, and it only traded with Funan, Linyi, and Tianzhu. Amber and colored gems and spices are exchanged in the market."

"However, seas are not like rivers and rivers. One requires large boats, and the boatmen must be skilled. Secondly, the wind and waves are unpredictable. If there are big waves and strong winds, all the people and boats will be wiped out."

"Since the opening of the trade route, no less than five ships have sunk, and more than a hundred people have disappeared. Some merchant boatmen were rescued by fishermen by chance and saved one life, but the entire ship's cargo fell into the sea and could not be found."

"There are also desperadoes who specialize in intercepting sea merchants, and their methods are more brutal than land bandits."

Huan Rong talked eloquently, and the topic revolved around business, without mentioning politics at all.

Everyone listened intently, and there was no noise in the hall.

Huan Rong speaks very skillfully, not only expressing the benefits of maritime merchants, but also expressing the dangers involved, bluntly saying that he is fighting with his life.Clearly tell the people in the palace that if you want to make a profit, you can, but you must be prepared to be buried in the sea and feed the fish.

Changed to a powerful gentry, [-]% of Huan Rong would put it another way.

Jin room?

In view of the previous lessons, I really don't want to have too many interests with the other party.

It's not that he cares too much, it's that the other party's behavior is too rude.

Shiploads of sea salt are sent to Jiankang, and the profits of each quarter are not lost, and there are fresh overseas goods every now and then, and the result?

What should be cheated is still cheated, almost cheated his life.

It cannot be said that Sima Yu must be the same as Queen Mother Chu.However, as far as experience is concerned, careful sailing is the boat of ten thousand years.Instead of scratching your head in the future, it is better to block it from the source.

Huan Rong's attitude was clear, Wang Shuyi and others couldn't hear the clue, but Sima Yu and Queen Mother Chu knew it all.

Huan Rong didn't care what the two of them thought, whether they thought he was dissatisfied.

Refer to the scumbag father, who has power and money in his hands, who is afraid of whom?

Northland, Yuzhou

Qin Yu's injury gradually healed, and he began to help Qin Yu deal with the state's internal affairs.Mrs. Liu consulted a good doctor and made sure her son was fine, so she packed up her luggage and set off back to Xihe.

There are two teams of soldiers and a prison car.

Inside the car was an inhuman He Yejin, curled up into a ball, all limbs and bones were broken, but he didn't die.

"I can't let him die so easily." Liu Yu said with a slight smile, "I have to take it back to show my sister, chop off his head and hang it on the city wall, so as to frighten Xiaoxiao, and by the way, I will be with the Yin family."

Qin Yu Qin Yu shuddered and became more and more sure, don't mess with your mother-in-law, the consequences are absolutely unbearable.

"Go back quickly." Sitting in the car, Aunt Liu, her eyes slightly bent, her red lips full, glanced at the prison car from time to time, her eyes were as cold as the wind.

Xihe County

Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she received the news that Mrs. Qin was fine and Mrs. Liu was returning.Looking at the silk cloth Qin Jing sent again, she couldn't help frowning.

Huan Rong sent good medicine and doctors to save Qin Yu's life, and he was kind to the Qin family.This time the crowning ceremony was held in advance, the Qin family should indeed give a generous gift.She had already drawn up the gift list, which was [-]% thicker than usual.But the son sent another letter, saying that he needed to add another jade hairpin.

It's nothing.

Even if it is something belonging to the Qin and Han royal families, a few pieces can still be found.

However, Luanfengchai?

Mrs. Liu read it twice, and she was sure it was not a typo, so she pinched her brows helplessly.

She was always at ease in Qin Jing's actions, but this time she was a little confused.Doesn't he know that Luanfeng hairpins can't be given away casually, once they are given out, it will imply marriage?

It's all right if she's a girl, and she can just settle a concern.

But the other party is obviously a gentleman!

Aren't you afraid of enmity if you send out such a gift?

The more she thought about it, the worse her headache became. Madam Liu put down the silk cloth, only hoping that Aunt Liu would come back soon, and discussed with her personally to help her analyze carefully what was going on.
