I'm not Murong Chong
Chapter 121
Although the person in front of him was disguised, he recognized him almost as soon as he met each other.
"Don't don't slap your face." Seeing that the beggar was ineffective, Ren Zhen hurriedly said, "Sima Yuanxian is five steps away, let's go first and then talk~"
Xie Xuan's anger remained undiminished, but he also lowered his voice: "You said it lightly, since he came, he must be surrounded, how can he leave?"
Ren Zhen pulled out a small package from behind as if conjuring, and pulled out a half-new and unworn large robe, which turned out to be a paddy field robe worn by a Taoist monk, and said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks~ Seeing that Xie Xuan was still staring at him like he wanted to eat people, he lowered his head shyly: "Xie Lang won't still take his identity into account at this time and refuse to pretend to be a Taoist priest?" After a while, Xie Xuanhan put on the belt of his robe with his face wide open, and straightened his sleeves, and said, "Let's go." He has a handsome face and a long body, and he would be awe-inspiring if he was a soldier on the battlefield. His demeanor is flamboyant, but he also looks like a very handsome and pure person.However, Ren Zhen stepped back half a step, turned his head to look up and down, and then clicked his tongue appreciatively. Seeing that Xie Xuan was about to lift his foot to kick someone again, he touched his nose resentfully, and suddenly grabbed his wrist, He whispered, "Follow me."
That Ren Zhen obviously lived in Guanlong for a long time, and came to Jiankang for the first time in his life, but he usually walked in and out of his own house among the various alleys in the first Taoist temple in the south of the Yangtze River-the Yongzhen Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and It was built with funds raised by Xie An back then. To put it bluntly, it was a gathering place for Wang Xie’s children in the middle of Beijing where they could avoid the eyes of the imperial court. However, after many years in the military, Xie Xuan felt that he was not as familiar with this place as Ren Zhen, so he had to follow suit. Following him, he mocked coldly: "I don't know whether to praise His Majesty's hands and eyes or his audacity. I can enter and leave the capital of the country like no one else!"
Ren Zhen's face is hardened, and he doesn't mind sticking to someone's cold ass: "Well, I visit it three or two times a day, and I'm familiar with the maze." Xie Xuan retorted: "Yes, I'm in Stone City. I heard that you people from Yan made every effort to buy Sima Yuanxian's right and left, and also gave him a lot of enchanting boys and girls, rare and rare treasures. Now that you can climb up to Sima Yuanxian, you will naturally be like a fish in water in Jiankang City, It’s really like birds of a feather flock together.”
Ren Zhen hurriedly retorted: "The prince and I have very different preferences. He only likes some awkward and noble little customs—ah, just like the governor—in short, he asked for it. Guilt. What I firmly believe in is love between two people, if you don't want to, I will give up, so why bother to force others to be difficult?"
Xie Xuan saw that he was playing a joke on him, and he admitted that his unworthy Long Yang was good, his face froze immediately, and he threw his sleeves and angrily said: "It's a pity that there are people who are in love with you in this world. A little more—and still full of seven-foot men!"
Ren Zhen stopped in his tracks, and glanced at him, as if he suddenly understood why Xie Xuan, who had been sympathetic to him, hated him even more - there is a kind of person in this world who is lofty and self-proclaimed righteous, and treats everything beyond his acceptance Everything about him is deviant, and as the king of a country, he not only loves men, but also loves them vigorously and unabashedly.Just when the atmosphere between the two was tense, they suddenly heard a voice calling from far behind: "Master Ren?"
The two of Ren and Xie froze for a moment, Xie Xuan didn't turn around, Ren Zhen looked up at the person coming, and it was the Qiao Wang Sima Shangzhi whom E Guanbo had brought Xu Pao to, whom he had been trying to make friends with recently - Chaoshang took the lead as the vanguard It was this person who suggested that recruiting troops should be the right thing to do to build a new army.He is also a member of the Eastern Jin clan. Five years ago, he was able to inherit the title of his father, King Sima Tian of Qiao Jing, as a concubine. He relied on the support of Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji at that time, and later on, Sima Yuanxian, who was in power. With the support of Sima Yuanxian, he has become a former general and the governor of Yuzhou. He is the most loyal supporter of Sima Yuanxian in the royal family, so Ren Zhen also spent a lot of time and energy on weekdays with him. Make friends.
Sima Shangzhi was ordered to lead several imperial guards to patrol here. At this time, the ceremony is about to begin, and the martial law is in full view. Even the empress and Sima Yuanxian have moved to the Sanqingzheng Hall of Yongzhen Temple to wait, but Ren Zhen I was still hanging out with a Taoist priest, so I couldn't help being surprised, so I wanted to come over and ask about it.Ren Zhen quickly grabbed Xie Xuan's sleeve with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Let's go first."
Xie Xuan inexplicably understood what he meant, and hurriedly pushed him away. Ren Zhen refused to let go, entangled, like a dispute between two people, until Xie Xuan raised his sleeve suddenly and tore the Taoist robe, and then he didn't look back. to forcibly leave.
Sima Shangzhi was taken aback, and was about to lead people to surround him, but he was stopped by Ren Zhen. Holding the half of the Taoist robe, he bent down to Sima Shangzhi helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "He is just a Taoist priest of Yongzhen Temple , Your Majesty will give me some thin noodles, so don't chase after him?"
"The funeral ceremony is about to begin, what are you doing with a Taoist priest if you don't enter the hall?" Sima Shangzi recalled the question just after he finished asking - he has been immersed in wine and sex for a long time, although he is usually not good at the south wind , but I can also see the back of the little Taoist priest, with a girth of ape arms and a wasp waist, a long body, and a handsome appearance.He also pointed towards Ren Zhen in the air, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Renzhi, this is not in Chang'an City. If you dare to covet the Taoist priests of Yongzhen Temple, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
Ren Zhen begged for forgiveness again and again: "Don't talk about God's punishment, even if the master of the temple knows, and I file a lawsuit in front of the empress, I can go back to my house and walk away without food—to tell you the truth, my lord. I fell in love with him the first time I came back, but because of his status, I didn't dare to do anything wrong, just now he was about to go up to the palace and bump into me, I couldn't help it for a while, and lost my head, so I stepped forward to solicit—— That's why I beg Your Majesty, don't chase him, I'm afraid I'll die as an apology if you make a serious incident." Sima Shangzi thought to himself: There are hundreds of beautiful concubines in his palace, and he claims to be an extraordinarily romantic prince. Unexpectedly, this Ren Zhen was even more daring than him!But it's true, Sima Yuanxian is decisive and resolute in dealing with things, hasn't he gotten better recently?If this Ren Zhen didn't like him based on his shady common interest, how could he coax Sima Yuanxian to be so happy and even listen to him differently?What's more, Ren Zhen is a generous person, and he spends a lot of money on weekdays. It's not a big deal, so why should he have trouble with Sima Yuanxian's distinguished guest?Immediately, he dismissed the palace guards, shook his head and sighed, "Brother Renzhi, you owe me a great favor for that 'beauty'!"
"It's natural, it's natural." Ren Zhen nodded and smiled, "I will definitely visit you someday, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ren Zhen managed to get rid of Sima Shangzhi with great difficulty, and chased him out of the temple, but there was no one there. He knew that even if Xie Xuan entered the city alone, he would have arranged for people outside the temple.Unexpectedly, he turned his head and turned around. As soon as he reached a secluded corner, he suddenly heard the whistling wind blowing towards him. He wanted to retreat to avoid another killer move, and another killer move followed him like a shadow. Ren Zhen had already been slapped in less than three moves. Pressed on the Qihai acupoint, only waited for the opponent's internal force to vomit a little, and he was severely injured.He had no choice but to stop, shrugging his shoulders and said: "Dudu Xie, I'm the one who rescued you—— Aren't you always clear about your kindness and grudges, and you just want your life like this?"
Xie Xuancai ignored his words of scolding and beating, and there was a haze in his expression: He was not in the capital before, so he didn't suspect that the successive coincidences that happened in the court were caused by the people of Yan, but he really I didn't expect that Ren Zhen would have the guts to take the risk himself, otherwise he would definitely, definitely - "Aren't you afraid that I'll take you down right now, take you as a hostage, and threaten Chang'an?"
Ren Zhen raised his hand and touched the beard on his face, and said with a smile: "If the two countries do not fight each other, let alone make friends with each other? There is only Guanglu Cheng in Dayan Kingdom, so what is there to threaten?"
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "Ren Zhen, Ming people don't talk dark words, I don't care what identity you fabricated this time, as long as you are escorted to Guanzhong, no matter Yao Song or Murong Yong will surely respond to your request!"
Ren Zhen said calmly, "You won't."
Xie Xuan was unmoved, and sneered: "Why not? I will never forget the revenge of losing ground and withdrawing troops last time."
"But I forgot." Ren Zhen suddenly said seriously, "Forgot that you took advantage of the fire in Henan, profited from the fisherman, and even hurt the person I love the most—because if you and I exchange identities and positions, I will also be you decisions made."
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment—he said this personal relationship so frankly that he didn’t know how to refute—how could he not know that Ren Zhen helped him and kept making jokes all the way because he was conscious of it? I'm sorry for Xie Xuan's insidious tricks last time, but in the final analysis, the two have different families and countries, and their positions are very different, and he did nothing wrong to save his lover, and he is the king of a country, so why should he lower himself so much? ?He gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Then what is your intention to sneak into Jiankang this time?"
Ren Zhen shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly: "The letter of credence says it very clearly~ The two countries form an alliance, aiming at the success of the future, and dividing the world equally—one pair is good for both, mutual benefit."
A pair of two good mutual benefit?Xie Xuan sneered and said, "You and Hou Yan Murong Chui have a dispute over the concubine, and you have been fighting a tug-of-war for three full years to win the Guandong. Why did our Eastern Jin Dynasty have to get into this muddy water? Wouldn't it be more interesting to stand on the sidelines and benefit from it?" good?"
Ren Zhen waved his hand and persuaded with sincerity: "There is no eternal relationship between the two countries. Everyone is pursuing the maximization of interests. As long as you are willing, all conditions can be negotiated-why can't you and I become Friends who work together? I can even give up supporting Qiao Zong and help you regain Xichuan, and finally rule Kyushu and two parts of the world together. The governor will be a famous minister of ZTE in the Jin Dynasty, so why not leave your name in history?"
Xie Xuan seemed to be moved by the talk, he frowned and thought for a while, then leaned close to Ren Zhen, looked at him for a moment, and said softly: "That's how you... persuaded Sima Yuanxian? Ren Zhen, 'the best at Heart attack' I can't help but sigh to myself."
Ren Zhen smiled slowly at this point, looking back at Xie Xuan, the two looked at each other for a long time, so long that the airflow intertwined with each other seemed to freeze into ice, Xie Xuan said word by word: "You have known Sima Yuanxian sent manpower and eyeliner to take me to show up on purpose to help me, thinking that asking for credit and showing favor is already a crime; but you persuaded Sima Yuanxian to implement the "Music Family Recruitment System" in the land of Sanwu, and forcibly captured the tenants under the control of the Jiangnan clan. Deprivation of liberty and relocation of the capital to serve as military service - at first glance, this move can greatly expand the army of the country and horses, but the only thing the court can directly control is the rich and prosperous lands of the three Wus. The grievances are full of complaints and detachment from morality, so as to shake the foundation of the country-this is a poisonous plan to draw fire from the bottom of the pot!" His tone was firm and light as a feather: "You don't even want to share the land of Kanto with others, you must fight Houyan The victory or defeat, let alone the beautiful rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River?! Of course you can abandon Qiao Zong like a shoe, and the Ren Jin army will take back Sichuan temporarily, because you firmly believe that in the future, you can take over and unify the north and the south! Ren Zhen, I am not Sima Yuanxian. Such an impulsive boy, I can't believe your honeyed belly sword."
His Taoist robe was torn apart by the wind, and he looked like an exiled immortal, but the words he uttered were like swords piercing one's heart: "As an enemy, you are far more terrifying than Murong Chui."
Ren Zhen sighed regretfully when he heard the words, and said distressedly: "...you and I have no possibility of working together?"
How can I cooperate with a hero who does not allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch, and even help him become more powerful by invincible and invincible?
"I don't have to kill you." Xie Xuan withdrew his offensive, stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "But you and I will never turn an enemy into a friend."
After breaking up in Yongzhen Guan that day, Xie Xuan returned to Stone City and temporarily handed over the military training to Liu Yu, who joined the army in Beifu. Sima Yuanxian.Why didn't Sima Yuanxian know why he was so aggressive?Normally, he would be secretly happy if Xie Xuan came to see him, but at this moment, the Mingmen came out of the house politely to thank the guests, saying that he was "suddenly caught in the wind and cold, so he couldn't look at the guests." Xie Xuan blocked people every day, so he avoided seeing them every day , a procrastination tactic, never give Xie Xuan the chance to oppose the recruitment of soldiers.
After such a few days, it was the first day of the court held in the Taiji Hall of Jiankang Palace. Xie Xuan had no choice but to go back to court, while Sima Yuanxian ate tea and listened to music with the handsome young man Ren Zhenxin sent him in the mansion. Lang was finally willing to leave, so he shook his head and smiled and said, "I want to see you, but you don't want to. This time it's the other way around." Execution, if it drags on, Xie Xuan will not be able to turn the tide.
Although Sima Yuanxian recorded ministerial affairs, he did not go to the court every time, and he had to do everything personally. This time, he deliberately avoided staying at home in order to hide from others, but he never expected that Xie Xuan's first performance in the court was to ask for disarmament ——Throughout the ages, all generals, regardless of their selfishness and public will, have supported their troops and respected themselves. No one has ever voluntarily asked the court for disarmament.Xie Xuan abolished [-]% of the garrison in Stone City this time. The reason was that the Yangzhou area was hit by floods at the beginning of the year, and the national treasury was already tight for disaster relief, and it was not appropriate to increase taxes. He was willing to set an example and take the lead in reducing military supplies.
Xie Xuan was in charge of all Chinese and foreign armies, and concurrently served as Tai Tuo, up to the rank of three princes. Sima Yuanxian was not in the court, and his close ministers and cronies did not dare to make too much of a fuss. No one objected, and after going down to court, he simply knelt outside the gate of the imperial palace and waited for the emperor's reply on the spot. Then, the sealed Zhou Zhang was reported to all places on flying horses.All matters are done in a smooth and smooth manner, and when Sima Yuanxian finds out in the mansion, the rice has been cooked and there is no objection.He angrily threw the memorial on the table, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said two words: "cunning!".How could Wang Guobao not know that this was referring to Xie Xuan, but he has always been scheming and good at flattering, because he knew that his lord's little thought is not for outsiders, so Sima Yuanxian scolded him but he dared not follow up, so he had to Accompanying him sighed: "At this moment, we proposed to reduce the number of troops for the sake of the people's livelihood and the national treasury. It is indeed killing two birds with one stone. Instead, we now propose to send troops to attack Qiao Zong, recover Xichuan, move to Beijing, and prepare for the establishment of a new army. Pointing to the thieves!"
The Jin family’s southward relocation relied on the gentry class, so there was the Jin generation, and the aristocratic families had the privilege to confine Shanze to occupy the farm labor. Gyeonggi accounted for a military household and planned to build his own new army, which not only greatly damaged the interests of the aristocratic family, but even those tenants who had lived in peace and contentment for a long time were unwilling to fight.Therefore, as soon as Xie Xuan made a statement, many officials echoed it. Xie Yan, the cousin of Xie Xuan, who was far away as the governor of Yuzhou, even proposed "disarmament throughout the country, and the livelihood of the people", implying that Sima Yuanxian should not be aggressive Why not make him angry with the expansion of armaments.So he said coldly: "The wind is loud and the rain is small. What he is willing to lay off now is only the Shicheng garrison. The main forces of the Beifu troops entrenched in Jingkou, Pengcheng, and Guangling are still undiminished. It does not hinder his overall strength. It is for him. I have gained a good reputation for being concerned about the country, the people and the people." Although their preparations for the new army will not be suspended, they are bound to be put on hold temporarily.
Wang Guobao rolled his eyes and saw that Sima Yuanxian was really annoyed by Xie Xuan this time, so he licked his lips and took another shot: "The king has a high position and authority, and he received the news after it was done. Isn't it weird?!"
Sima Yuanxian sneered: "It's nothing more than that he has an internal response in the palace, and he blocked the news deliberately to hide it - even if the emperor doesn't pay attention, he still has the jade seal - I can force the emperor to make a decision, so can't he get rid of nepotism? "There is no respect for the love of Empress An Emperor in his words.
Wang Guobao has been jealous of Xie Xuan for a long time, and he wished that the fire would become less and more prosperous: "That matter has been stopped until now—?"
Sima Yuanxian waved his robe sleeve: "How can there be an arrow turning back when you open the bow? Now the only thing that the king can mobilize is the imperial guards who are not useful. If you can't command the three armies, you will never be worthy of the name!"
Wang Guobao couldn't help but take retreat as an advance: "But Xie Xuan has the military power and is an extremely powerful minister, and he responds to every call, I'm afraid..."
"No." Sima Yuanxian waved his hand, his eyes flickered, "... Xie Xuan returned to the capital, he is hiding among thousands of troops, and this king can do nothing to him, but the imperial palace in the capital is mine. Site!"
Wang Guobao was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help asking, but Sima Yuanxian gave him a sideways glance, and said with a sneer: "Last time, Yongzhen saw that you were not good at doing things, and this king hasn't punished you for your crime—my people think it's true." Xie Xuan was subdued, but you still let Xie Xuan get away with extensive manpower investigation!" Wang Guobao naturally yelled that he was wronged, and Sima Yuanxian couldn't bear to listen to his explanation, so he thought for a moment and glanced at him and said: "Then In Yongzhen Temple every day, Ren Zhen has been with you all the time, and you have never been separated?"
"He was by my side during the pick-up and the ceremony."
Sima Yuan squinted slightly: "Really?"
Wang Guobao recalled it again, and said after deliberation: "Exactly—on the way, the king came, and suddenly summoned his servants, and the servants left the side hall, so I don't know where he was at that time."
Sima Yuanxian fell silent, frowning and thinking—it was futile for him to come after hearing the news that day, how could Xie Xuanruo escape so easily without a clue?How could he not be suspicious?
Wang Guobao did not expect that Sima Yuanxian and Ren Zhen were called brothers on the surface, but they were still very defensive in private. Sima Yuanxian knew what he was thinking, so he glanced at him and said, "I don't suspect him for the time being. It's just that this person The city is too deep, and there are Yan officials—each is his master, so we have to guard against it. Use it if you can, how can you really talk to each other?"
The layout of Sima Yuanxian in the palace is not shown for the time being, and Ren Zhen is also very troubled by this tricky matter: Xie Xuan openly opposed the preparation of the new army at the court meeting, implying that he disagreed with Sima Yuan Xian Jian's army took command and went to Xichuan to pacify Qiao Zong—in this way, it was tantamount to indirectly refusing to form an alliance with Yan, and the two were doomed to have no possibility of working together.Therefore, the Jin officials who had been attracted by him since Wang Gong seemed to have a backbone. Seeing this momentum, they turned to Xie Xuan one after another. With excuses, his attitude towards the Xiyan Mission has also changed. Unexpectedly, before Ren Zhen could change his course and adjust his strategy, another shocking news caught him off guard.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, Xiyan sent envoys, and the news of forming an alliance with Jin Tonghao would naturally spread to Zhongshan. Chengwu Emperor Murong Chui immediately responded by escorting Master Tanmeng, an eminent monk of Houyan, to Jin to preach and congratulate Emperor An of Jin He also sent a mission to Jiankang in the name of ascending the throne at the age of [-], but what Ren Zhen didn't expect was that the leader was Murongxi, the Hejian king of Houyan!
As soon as he saw the handsome man who hadn't seen him for three years, Ren Zhen yelled inwardly—this Murong Xi had been under house arrest in Chang'an for several months, and had met him several times in Weiyang Palace. He has already disguised himself, but as long as he talks to him, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not recognize him. It is undoubtedly a deadly handle for nothing, but if he is asked to stop at this time and leave halfway, he is extremely reluctant.Taking a closer look at the Houyan mission, it is rare to see a big monk escorting a great monk south to give lectures. I heard that Murongxi was influenced by his mother, Concubine Duan Yuan. He is a devout Buddhist and he is a prince. , but the deputy envoy was not loyal to Murongxi. Feng Ba, the general of Zhongwei who I met once in Chang'an last time, was the post-Yan Zhongshuling Feng Yi——Although he is an important minister of the country and a trusted confidant of the emperor, he is also He made good friends with uncle Duan Sugu and old minister Lanhan, and supported the prince of Houyan, Murong Bao—it can be seen that Murongxi went south to Jiankang as an envoy. Can't do it.Therefore, after thinking about it, Ren Zhen decided to hold back for the time being and wait and see what happened.
Although most of the royal family in the Jin Dynasty believed in Huang Lao’s theory, the eastward spread of Buddhism was also the trend of the times. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty’s famous scholar Zhi Daolin also became a monk, and learned Buddhism through Xuan Xuan, after broadcasting Buddhism, Buddhism from the gentry to the folk began to flourish. There was no shortage of worshipers, so Houyan came here to deliver the gift to the eminent monk to open the altar and give lectures. The reason was high-sounding and the attitude was humble and he took the initiative to show his favor.The Empress Wang, who came from a family of metaphysics, uncharacteristically issued a Fengzhao and received the Houyan envoys with the highest standard. The momentum was much higher than that of the Xiyan envoys a few months ago, and she personally hosted a banquet in the palace. Unintentionally, in addition to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty, the Xiyan Mission was also invited to attend at the same time.
So at the banquet, Sima Yuanxian, the head of the left, took the lead, Wu Lie Ren Zhen and other Xiyan guests sat with him; On the field, except for Jin'an Emperor Sima Dezong, who was beside the Queen, who was concentrating on waiting for the banquet to start, everyone was full of thoughts, and the atmosphere was quite stagnant for a while.
But it was Sima Dewen who broke the dullness first, got up and smiled at Murongxi and others: "I heard that Master Tanmeng of your country was stationed in Anle Temple to give lectures. It is a great merit. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are all grateful for the sincerity and kindness of Emperor Chengwu, and I would like to offer you a glass on behalf of the emperor." Murong Xi and Feng Yi both got up to thank each other, and then drank with their heads up.Ren Zhen rolled his eyes in the bottom of his heart—the envoys sent by Xiyan used gold and yuan diplomacy to divide and win over the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Jin court; the envoys sent by Later Yan used religious diplomacy to win over the Li common people in the south of the Yangtze River ——As far as the strength of influence is concerned, I feel that I am a bit at a disadvantage. I really don't know who came up with Houyan's offensive move.
Sima Yuanxian glanced at Ren Zhen and others indifferently, ordered someone to pour wine, raised his hand to respect the Xiyan mission, and said jokingly: "It is said that the two countries fought a war for this Prince Xi, and now Since they are both our honored guests, I hope that both sides can laugh away their grievances, which is considered a beautiful thing."
Although the two Yans reluctantly signed the armistice peace treaty due to the situation in their respective countries, everyone knew that the peace was only temporary, and secretly wished they could fight each other to the death. Now on the territory of the third country, both sides pretended to be calm and restrained for the sake of the overall situation. Who knows that Sima Yuanxian speaks like this deliberately to stir up trouble, why is it not depressing?Unexpectedly, Murong Xi took the time to refill a glass of fine wine and raised his hand towards them: "The two Yans are a nation of brothers, even if there were occasional conflicts, now all misunderstandings have disappeared, let alone any hatred."
This kid has improved a lot over the years, and it seems that he has been "taught" in Zhongshan.Ren Zhen glanced at Wu Lie, the latter understood, and stood up to toast in return, but Murong Xi still refused to give up, and turned to Ren Zhen and said, "My king's 'guests' in Chang'an back then were well taken care of by your emperor, and it is still unforgettable— ——This lord's figure is somewhat similar to that of the Emperor Xiyan, and I have a lot of feelings for this king to reminisce about the past."
Sima Yuanxian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the flamboyant and handsome young prince of Houyan to say such a thing. Thinking that Murong Xi had indeed stayed in Chang'an, it was normal for him to recognize his famous cousin Murong Chong, so he couldn't help subconsciously Glanced at Ren Zhen.
Sure enough, he still couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to attack.Ren Zhen lifted his robe and stood up, bowed to Murong Xi, and then smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "You are a lowly official, how dare you compare with my lord? I am afraid that the prince was a 'guest' in Weiyang Palace back then, and he was not allowed to come in and out. After a long time, my lord cared for you again, and this made the prince fall in love with the scene, let's be grateful for the old kindness."
Murong Xi's expression froze, how could the people present not understand that he was satirizing Murong Xi's defeat in the war and being taken prisoner and taken to Chang'an as a hostage?Feng Yi at the side already frowned and glanced at Murong Xi solemnly, then let out a slight cold snort from the tip of his nose.
Sima Yuanxian turned to Xie Xuan thoughtfully, but his tone seemed to be still joking: "Dudu Xie also saw the Emperor Xiyan who was personally conquered by the emperor in the city of Yiyang back then. Yan Emperor Murong Chong?"
Wu Lie's heart suddenly rose to his throat - that's right, I'm afraid no one here is more familiar with Murong Chong than Xie Xuan!Not only did the two armies face each other, but they also fought hand to hand, and the two fought each other with hundreds of moves. The emperor's disguise definitely couldn't hide it from him.Peeking at Ren Zhen again, although he still looked like an old god, smiling and looking at Xie Xuan slightly, his expression inevitably showed a hint of solemnity and nervousness.
Note: The Land of Three Wus refers to the rich lands such as Wujun (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), Wuxing (now Huzhou, Zhejiang), Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) directly controlled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which means the rear of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the source of all national tax revenue land.At that time, Sima Yuanxian served as the governor of Yangzhou in charge of the three Wu states and the country's great government, while Xie Xuan served as the governor of Xu and Jingzhou, in charge of the military towns such as Jiangbeikou and the internal and external military.
"Don't don't slap your face." Seeing that the beggar was ineffective, Ren Zhen hurriedly said, "Sima Yuanxian is five steps away, let's go first and then talk~"
Xie Xuan's anger remained undiminished, but he also lowered his voice: "You said it lightly, since he came, he must be surrounded, how can he leave?"
Ren Zhen pulled out a small package from behind as if conjuring, and pulled out a half-new and unworn large robe, which turned out to be a paddy field robe worn by a Taoist monk, and said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks~ Seeing that Xie Xuan was still staring at him like he wanted to eat people, he lowered his head shyly: "Xie Lang won't still take his identity into account at this time and refuse to pretend to be a Taoist priest?" After a while, Xie Xuanhan put on the belt of his robe with his face wide open, and straightened his sleeves, and said, "Let's go." He has a handsome face and a long body, and he would be awe-inspiring if he was a soldier on the battlefield. His demeanor is flamboyant, but he also looks like a very handsome and pure person.However, Ren Zhen stepped back half a step, turned his head to look up and down, and then clicked his tongue appreciatively. Seeing that Xie Xuan was about to lift his foot to kick someone again, he touched his nose resentfully, and suddenly grabbed his wrist, He whispered, "Follow me."
That Ren Zhen obviously lived in Guanlong for a long time, and came to Jiankang for the first time in his life, but he usually walked in and out of his own house among the various alleys in the first Taoist temple in the south of the Yangtze River-the Yongzhen Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and It was built with funds raised by Xie An back then. To put it bluntly, it was a gathering place for Wang Xie’s children in the middle of Beijing where they could avoid the eyes of the imperial court. However, after many years in the military, Xie Xuan felt that he was not as familiar with this place as Ren Zhen, so he had to follow suit. Following him, he mocked coldly: "I don't know whether to praise His Majesty's hands and eyes or his audacity. I can enter and leave the capital of the country like no one else!"
Ren Zhen's face is hardened, and he doesn't mind sticking to someone's cold ass: "Well, I visit it three or two times a day, and I'm familiar with the maze." Xie Xuan retorted: "Yes, I'm in Stone City. I heard that you people from Yan made every effort to buy Sima Yuanxian's right and left, and also gave him a lot of enchanting boys and girls, rare and rare treasures. Now that you can climb up to Sima Yuanxian, you will naturally be like a fish in water in Jiankang City, It’s really like birds of a feather flock together.”
Ren Zhen hurriedly retorted: "The prince and I have very different preferences. He only likes some awkward and noble little customs—ah, just like the governor—in short, he asked for it. Guilt. What I firmly believe in is love between two people, if you don't want to, I will give up, so why bother to force others to be difficult?"
Xie Xuan saw that he was playing a joke on him, and he admitted that his unworthy Long Yang was good, his face froze immediately, and he threw his sleeves and angrily said: "It's a pity that there are people who are in love with you in this world. A little more—and still full of seven-foot men!"
Ren Zhen stopped in his tracks, and glanced at him, as if he suddenly understood why Xie Xuan, who had been sympathetic to him, hated him even more - there is a kind of person in this world who is lofty and self-proclaimed righteous, and treats everything beyond his acceptance Everything about him is deviant, and as the king of a country, he not only loves men, but also loves them vigorously and unabashedly.Just when the atmosphere between the two was tense, they suddenly heard a voice calling from far behind: "Master Ren?"
The two of Ren and Xie froze for a moment, Xie Xuan didn't turn around, Ren Zhen looked up at the person coming, and it was the Qiao Wang Sima Shangzhi whom E Guanbo had brought Xu Pao to, whom he had been trying to make friends with recently - Chaoshang took the lead as the vanguard It was this person who suggested that recruiting troops should be the right thing to do to build a new army.He is also a member of the Eastern Jin clan. Five years ago, he was able to inherit the title of his father, King Sima Tian of Qiao Jing, as a concubine. He relied on the support of Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji at that time, and later on, Sima Yuanxian, who was in power. With the support of Sima Yuanxian, he has become a former general and the governor of Yuzhou. He is the most loyal supporter of Sima Yuanxian in the royal family, so Ren Zhen also spent a lot of time and energy on weekdays with him. Make friends.
Sima Shangzhi was ordered to lead several imperial guards to patrol here. At this time, the ceremony is about to begin, and the martial law is in full view. Even the empress and Sima Yuanxian have moved to the Sanqingzheng Hall of Yongzhen Temple to wait, but Ren Zhen I was still hanging out with a Taoist priest, so I couldn't help being surprised, so I wanted to come over and ask about it.Ren Zhen quickly grabbed Xie Xuan's sleeve with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Let's go first."
Xie Xuan inexplicably understood what he meant, and hurriedly pushed him away. Ren Zhen refused to let go, entangled, like a dispute between two people, until Xie Xuan raised his sleeve suddenly and tore the Taoist robe, and then he didn't look back. to forcibly leave.
Sima Shangzhi was taken aback, and was about to lead people to surround him, but he was stopped by Ren Zhen. Holding the half of the Taoist robe, he bent down to Sima Shangzhi helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "He is just a Taoist priest of Yongzhen Temple , Your Majesty will give me some thin noodles, so don't chase after him?"
"The funeral ceremony is about to begin, what are you doing with a Taoist priest if you don't enter the hall?" Sima Shangzi recalled the question just after he finished asking - he has been immersed in wine and sex for a long time, although he is usually not good at the south wind , but I can also see the back of the little Taoist priest, with a girth of ape arms and a wasp waist, a long body, and a handsome appearance.He also pointed towards Ren Zhen in the air, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Renzhi, this is not in Chang'an City. If you dare to covet the Taoist priests of Yongzhen Temple, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
Ren Zhen begged for forgiveness again and again: "Don't talk about God's punishment, even if the master of the temple knows, and I file a lawsuit in front of the empress, I can go back to my house and walk away without food—to tell you the truth, my lord. I fell in love with him the first time I came back, but because of his status, I didn't dare to do anything wrong, just now he was about to go up to the palace and bump into me, I couldn't help it for a while, and lost my head, so I stepped forward to solicit—— That's why I beg Your Majesty, don't chase him, I'm afraid I'll die as an apology if you make a serious incident." Sima Shangzi thought to himself: There are hundreds of beautiful concubines in his palace, and he claims to be an extraordinarily romantic prince. Unexpectedly, this Ren Zhen was even more daring than him!But it's true, Sima Yuanxian is decisive and resolute in dealing with things, hasn't he gotten better recently?If this Ren Zhen didn't like him based on his shady common interest, how could he coax Sima Yuanxian to be so happy and even listen to him differently?What's more, Ren Zhen is a generous person, and he spends a lot of money on weekdays. It's not a big deal, so why should he have trouble with Sima Yuanxian's distinguished guest?Immediately, he dismissed the palace guards, shook his head and sighed, "Brother Renzhi, you owe me a great favor for that 'beauty'!"
"It's natural, it's natural." Ren Zhen nodded and smiled, "I will definitely visit you someday, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ren Zhen managed to get rid of Sima Shangzhi with great difficulty, and chased him out of the temple, but there was no one there. He knew that even if Xie Xuan entered the city alone, he would have arranged for people outside the temple.Unexpectedly, he turned his head and turned around. As soon as he reached a secluded corner, he suddenly heard the whistling wind blowing towards him. He wanted to retreat to avoid another killer move, and another killer move followed him like a shadow. Ren Zhen had already been slapped in less than three moves. Pressed on the Qihai acupoint, only waited for the opponent's internal force to vomit a little, and he was severely injured.He had no choice but to stop, shrugging his shoulders and said: "Dudu Xie, I'm the one who rescued you—— Aren't you always clear about your kindness and grudges, and you just want your life like this?"
Xie Xuancai ignored his words of scolding and beating, and there was a haze in his expression: He was not in the capital before, so he didn't suspect that the successive coincidences that happened in the court were caused by the people of Yan, but he really I didn't expect that Ren Zhen would have the guts to take the risk himself, otherwise he would definitely, definitely - "Aren't you afraid that I'll take you down right now, take you as a hostage, and threaten Chang'an?"
Ren Zhen raised his hand and touched the beard on his face, and said with a smile: "If the two countries do not fight each other, let alone make friends with each other? There is only Guanglu Cheng in Dayan Kingdom, so what is there to threaten?"
Xie Xuan sneered and said: "Ren Zhen, Ming people don't talk dark words, I don't care what identity you fabricated this time, as long as you are escorted to Guanzhong, no matter Yao Song or Murong Yong will surely respond to your request!"
Ren Zhen said calmly, "You won't."
Xie Xuan was unmoved, and sneered: "Why not? I will never forget the revenge of losing ground and withdrawing troops last time."
"But I forgot." Ren Zhen suddenly said seriously, "Forgot that you took advantage of the fire in Henan, profited from the fisherman, and even hurt the person I love the most—because if you and I exchange identities and positions, I will also be you decisions made."
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment—he said this personal relationship so frankly that he didn’t know how to refute—how could he not know that Ren Zhen helped him and kept making jokes all the way because he was conscious of it? I'm sorry for Xie Xuan's insidious tricks last time, but in the final analysis, the two have different families and countries, and their positions are very different, and he did nothing wrong to save his lover, and he is the king of a country, so why should he lower himself so much? ?He gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Then what is your intention to sneak into Jiankang this time?"
Ren Zhen shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly: "The letter of credence says it very clearly~ The two countries form an alliance, aiming at the success of the future, and dividing the world equally—one pair is good for both, mutual benefit."
A pair of two good mutual benefit?Xie Xuan sneered and said, "You and Hou Yan Murong Chui have a dispute over the concubine, and you have been fighting a tug-of-war for three full years to win the Guandong. Why did our Eastern Jin Dynasty have to get into this muddy water? Wouldn't it be more interesting to stand on the sidelines and benefit from it?" good?"
Ren Zhen waved his hand and persuaded with sincerity: "There is no eternal relationship between the two countries. Everyone is pursuing the maximization of interests. As long as you are willing, all conditions can be negotiated-why can't you and I become Friends who work together? I can even give up supporting Qiao Zong and help you regain Xichuan, and finally rule Kyushu and two parts of the world together. The governor will be a famous minister of ZTE in the Jin Dynasty, so why not leave your name in history?"
Xie Xuan seemed to be moved by the talk, he frowned and thought for a while, then leaned close to Ren Zhen, looked at him for a moment, and said softly: "That's how you... persuaded Sima Yuanxian? Ren Zhen, 'the best at Heart attack' I can't help but sigh to myself."
Ren Zhen smiled slowly at this point, looking back at Xie Xuan, the two looked at each other for a long time, so long that the airflow intertwined with each other seemed to freeze into ice, Xie Xuan said word by word: "You have known Sima Yuanxian sent manpower and eyeliner to take me to show up on purpose to help me, thinking that asking for credit and showing favor is already a crime; but you persuaded Sima Yuanxian to implement the "Music Family Recruitment System" in the land of Sanwu, and forcibly captured the tenants under the control of the Jiangnan clan. Deprivation of liberty and relocation of the capital to serve as military service - at first glance, this move can greatly expand the army of the country and horses, but the only thing the court can directly control is the rich and prosperous lands of the three Wus. The grievances are full of complaints and detachment from morality, so as to shake the foundation of the country-this is a poisonous plan to draw fire from the bottom of the pot!" His tone was firm and light as a feather: "You don't even want to share the land of Kanto with others, you must fight Houyan The victory or defeat, let alone the beautiful rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River?! Of course you can abandon Qiao Zong like a shoe, and the Ren Jin army will take back Sichuan temporarily, because you firmly believe that in the future, you can take over and unify the north and the south! Ren Zhen, I am not Sima Yuanxian. Such an impulsive boy, I can't believe your honeyed belly sword."
His Taoist robe was torn apart by the wind, and he looked like an exiled immortal, but the words he uttered were like swords piercing one's heart: "As an enemy, you are far more terrifying than Murong Chui."
Ren Zhen sighed regretfully when he heard the words, and said distressedly: "...you and I have no possibility of working together?"
How can I cooperate with a hero who does not allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch, and even help him become more powerful by invincible and invincible?
"I don't have to kill you." Xie Xuan withdrew his offensive, stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "But you and I will never turn an enemy into a friend."
After breaking up in Yongzhen Guan that day, Xie Xuan returned to Stone City and temporarily handed over the military training to Liu Yu, who joined the army in Beifu. Sima Yuanxian.Why didn't Sima Yuanxian know why he was so aggressive?Normally, he would be secretly happy if Xie Xuan came to see him, but at this moment, the Mingmen came out of the house politely to thank the guests, saying that he was "suddenly caught in the wind and cold, so he couldn't look at the guests." Xie Xuan blocked people every day, so he avoided seeing them every day , a procrastination tactic, never give Xie Xuan the chance to oppose the recruitment of soldiers.
After such a few days, it was the first day of the court held in the Taiji Hall of Jiankang Palace. Xie Xuan had no choice but to go back to court, while Sima Yuanxian ate tea and listened to music with the handsome young man Ren Zhenxin sent him in the mansion. Lang was finally willing to leave, so he shook his head and smiled and said, "I want to see you, but you don't want to. This time it's the other way around." Execution, if it drags on, Xie Xuan will not be able to turn the tide.
Although Sima Yuanxian recorded ministerial affairs, he did not go to the court every time, and he had to do everything personally. This time, he deliberately avoided staying at home in order to hide from others, but he never expected that Xie Xuan's first performance in the court was to ask for disarmament ——Throughout the ages, all generals, regardless of their selfishness and public will, have supported their troops and respected themselves. No one has ever voluntarily asked the court for disarmament.Xie Xuan abolished [-]% of the garrison in Stone City this time. The reason was that the Yangzhou area was hit by floods at the beginning of the year, and the national treasury was already tight for disaster relief, and it was not appropriate to increase taxes. He was willing to set an example and take the lead in reducing military supplies.
Xie Xuan was in charge of all Chinese and foreign armies, and concurrently served as Tai Tuo, up to the rank of three princes. Sima Yuanxian was not in the court, and his close ministers and cronies did not dare to make too much of a fuss. No one objected, and after going down to court, he simply knelt outside the gate of the imperial palace and waited for the emperor's reply on the spot. Then, the sealed Zhou Zhang was reported to all places on flying horses.All matters are done in a smooth and smooth manner, and when Sima Yuanxian finds out in the mansion, the rice has been cooked and there is no objection.He angrily threw the memorial on the table, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said two words: "cunning!".How could Wang Guobao not know that this was referring to Xie Xuan, but he has always been scheming and good at flattering, because he knew that his lord's little thought is not for outsiders, so Sima Yuanxian scolded him but he dared not follow up, so he had to Accompanying him sighed: "At this moment, we proposed to reduce the number of troops for the sake of the people's livelihood and the national treasury. It is indeed killing two birds with one stone. Instead, we now propose to send troops to attack Qiao Zong, recover Xichuan, move to Beijing, and prepare for the establishment of a new army. Pointing to the thieves!"
The Jin family’s southward relocation relied on the gentry class, so there was the Jin generation, and the aristocratic families had the privilege to confine Shanze to occupy the farm labor. Gyeonggi accounted for a military household and planned to build his own new army, which not only greatly damaged the interests of the aristocratic family, but even those tenants who had lived in peace and contentment for a long time were unwilling to fight.Therefore, as soon as Xie Xuan made a statement, many officials echoed it. Xie Yan, the cousin of Xie Xuan, who was far away as the governor of Yuzhou, even proposed "disarmament throughout the country, and the livelihood of the people", implying that Sima Yuanxian should not be aggressive Why not make him angry with the expansion of armaments.So he said coldly: "The wind is loud and the rain is small. What he is willing to lay off now is only the Shicheng garrison. The main forces of the Beifu troops entrenched in Jingkou, Pengcheng, and Guangling are still undiminished. It does not hinder his overall strength. It is for him. I have gained a good reputation for being concerned about the country, the people and the people." Although their preparations for the new army will not be suspended, they are bound to be put on hold temporarily.
Wang Guobao rolled his eyes and saw that Sima Yuanxian was really annoyed by Xie Xuan this time, so he licked his lips and took another shot: "The king has a high position and authority, and he received the news after it was done. Isn't it weird?!"
Sima Yuanxian sneered: "It's nothing more than that he has an internal response in the palace, and he blocked the news deliberately to hide it - even if the emperor doesn't pay attention, he still has the jade seal - I can force the emperor to make a decision, so can't he get rid of nepotism? "There is no respect for the love of Empress An Emperor in his words.
Wang Guobao has been jealous of Xie Xuan for a long time, and he wished that the fire would become less and more prosperous: "That matter has been stopped until now—?"
Sima Yuanxian waved his robe sleeve: "How can there be an arrow turning back when you open the bow? Now the only thing that the king can mobilize is the imperial guards who are not useful. If you can't command the three armies, you will never be worthy of the name!"
Wang Guobao couldn't help but take retreat as an advance: "But Xie Xuan has the military power and is an extremely powerful minister, and he responds to every call, I'm afraid..."
"No." Sima Yuanxian waved his hand, his eyes flickered, "... Xie Xuan returned to the capital, he is hiding among thousands of troops, and this king can do nothing to him, but the imperial palace in the capital is mine. Site!"
Wang Guobao was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help asking, but Sima Yuanxian gave him a sideways glance, and said with a sneer: "Last time, Yongzhen saw that you were not good at doing things, and this king hasn't punished you for your crime—my people think it's true." Xie Xuan was subdued, but you still let Xie Xuan get away with extensive manpower investigation!" Wang Guobao naturally yelled that he was wronged, and Sima Yuanxian couldn't bear to listen to his explanation, so he thought for a moment and glanced at him and said: "Then In Yongzhen Temple every day, Ren Zhen has been with you all the time, and you have never been separated?"
"He was by my side during the pick-up and the ceremony."
Sima Yuan squinted slightly: "Really?"
Wang Guobao recalled it again, and said after deliberation: "Exactly—on the way, the king came, and suddenly summoned his servants, and the servants left the side hall, so I don't know where he was at that time."
Sima Yuanxian fell silent, frowning and thinking—it was futile for him to come after hearing the news that day, how could Xie Xuanruo escape so easily without a clue?How could he not be suspicious?
Wang Guobao did not expect that Sima Yuanxian and Ren Zhen were called brothers on the surface, but they were still very defensive in private. Sima Yuanxian knew what he was thinking, so he glanced at him and said, "I don't suspect him for the time being. It's just that this person The city is too deep, and there are Yan officials—each is his master, so we have to guard against it. Use it if you can, how can you really talk to each other?"
The layout of Sima Yuanxian in the palace is not shown for the time being, and Ren Zhen is also very troubled by this tricky matter: Xie Xuan openly opposed the preparation of the new army at the court meeting, implying that he disagreed with Sima Yuan Xian Jian's army took command and went to Xichuan to pacify Qiao Zong—in this way, it was tantamount to indirectly refusing to form an alliance with Yan, and the two were doomed to have no possibility of working together.Therefore, the Jin officials who had been attracted by him since Wang Gong seemed to have a backbone. Seeing this momentum, they turned to Xie Xuan one after another. With excuses, his attitude towards the Xiyan Mission has also changed. Unexpectedly, before Ren Zhen could change his course and adjust his strategy, another shocking news caught him off guard.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world, Xiyan sent envoys, and the news of forming an alliance with Jin Tonghao would naturally spread to Zhongshan. Chengwu Emperor Murong Chui immediately responded by escorting Master Tanmeng, an eminent monk of Houyan, to Jin to preach and congratulate Emperor An of Jin He also sent a mission to Jiankang in the name of ascending the throne at the age of [-], but what Ren Zhen didn't expect was that the leader was Murongxi, the Hejian king of Houyan!
As soon as he saw the handsome man who hadn't seen him for three years, Ren Zhen yelled inwardly—this Murong Xi had been under house arrest in Chang'an for several months, and had met him several times in Weiyang Palace. He has already disguised himself, but as long as he talks to him, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not recognize him. It is undoubtedly a deadly handle for nothing, but if he is asked to stop at this time and leave halfway, he is extremely reluctant.Taking a closer look at the Houyan mission, it is rare to see a big monk escorting a great monk south to give lectures. I heard that Murongxi was influenced by his mother, Concubine Duan Yuan. He is a devout Buddhist and he is a prince. , but the deputy envoy was not loyal to Murongxi. Feng Ba, the general of Zhongwei who I met once in Chang'an last time, was the post-Yan Zhongshuling Feng Yi——Although he is an important minister of the country and a trusted confidant of the emperor, he is also He made good friends with uncle Duan Sugu and old minister Lanhan, and supported the prince of Houyan, Murong Bao—it can be seen that Murongxi went south to Jiankang as an envoy. Can't do it.Therefore, after thinking about it, Ren Zhen decided to hold back for the time being and wait and see what happened.
Although most of the royal family in the Jin Dynasty believed in Huang Lao’s theory, the eastward spread of Buddhism was also the trend of the times. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty’s famous scholar Zhi Daolin also became a monk, and learned Buddhism through Xuan Xuan, after broadcasting Buddhism, Buddhism from the gentry to the folk began to flourish. There was no shortage of worshipers, so Houyan came here to deliver the gift to the eminent monk to open the altar and give lectures. The reason was high-sounding and the attitude was humble and he took the initiative to show his favor.The Empress Wang, who came from a family of metaphysics, uncharacteristically issued a Fengzhao and received the Houyan envoys with the highest standard. The momentum was much higher than that of the Xiyan envoys a few months ago, and she personally hosted a banquet in the palace. Unintentionally, in addition to the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty, the Xiyan Mission was also invited to attend at the same time.
So at the banquet, Sima Yuanxian, the head of the left, took the lead, Wu Lie Ren Zhen and other Xiyan guests sat with him; On the field, except for Jin'an Emperor Sima Dezong, who was beside the Queen, who was concentrating on waiting for the banquet to start, everyone was full of thoughts, and the atmosphere was quite stagnant for a while.
But it was Sima Dewen who broke the dullness first, got up and smiled at Murongxi and others: "I heard that Master Tanmeng of your country was stationed in Anle Temple to give lectures. It is a great merit. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are all grateful for the sincerity and kindness of Emperor Chengwu, and I would like to offer you a glass on behalf of the emperor." Murong Xi and Feng Yi both got up to thank each other, and then drank with their heads up.Ren Zhen rolled his eyes in the bottom of his heart—the envoys sent by Xiyan used gold and yuan diplomacy to divide and win over the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Jin court; the envoys sent by Later Yan used religious diplomacy to win over the Li common people in the south of the Yangtze River ——As far as the strength of influence is concerned, I feel that I am a bit at a disadvantage. I really don't know who came up with Houyan's offensive move.
Sima Yuanxian glanced at Ren Zhen and others indifferently, ordered someone to pour wine, raised his hand to respect the Xiyan mission, and said jokingly: "It is said that the two countries fought a war for this Prince Xi, and now Since they are both our honored guests, I hope that both sides can laugh away their grievances, which is considered a beautiful thing."
Although the two Yans reluctantly signed the armistice peace treaty due to the situation in their respective countries, everyone knew that the peace was only temporary, and secretly wished they could fight each other to the death. Now on the territory of the third country, both sides pretended to be calm and restrained for the sake of the overall situation. Who knows that Sima Yuanxian speaks like this deliberately to stir up trouble, why is it not depressing?Unexpectedly, Murong Xi took the time to refill a glass of fine wine and raised his hand towards them: "The two Yans are a nation of brothers, even if there were occasional conflicts, now all misunderstandings have disappeared, let alone any hatred."
This kid has improved a lot over the years, and it seems that he has been "taught" in Zhongshan.Ren Zhen glanced at Wu Lie, the latter understood, and stood up to toast in return, but Murong Xi still refused to give up, and turned to Ren Zhen and said, "My king's 'guests' in Chang'an back then were well taken care of by your emperor, and it is still unforgettable— ——This lord's figure is somewhat similar to that of the Emperor Xiyan, and I have a lot of feelings for this king to reminisce about the past."
Sima Yuanxian was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the flamboyant and handsome young prince of Houyan to say such a thing. Thinking that Murong Xi had indeed stayed in Chang'an, it was normal for him to recognize his famous cousin Murong Chong, so he couldn't help subconsciously Glanced at Ren Zhen.
Sure enough, he still couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to attack.Ren Zhen lifted his robe and stood up, bowed to Murong Xi, and then smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "You are a lowly official, how dare you compare with my lord? I am afraid that the prince was a 'guest' in Weiyang Palace back then, and he was not allowed to come in and out. After a long time, my lord cared for you again, and this made the prince fall in love with the scene, let's be grateful for the old kindness."
Murong Xi's expression froze, how could the people present not understand that he was satirizing Murong Xi's defeat in the war and being taken prisoner and taken to Chang'an as a hostage?Feng Yi at the side already frowned and glanced at Murong Xi solemnly, then let out a slight cold snort from the tip of his nose.
Sima Yuanxian turned to Xie Xuan thoughtfully, but his tone seemed to be still joking: "Dudu Xie also saw the Emperor Xiyan who was personally conquered by the emperor in the city of Yiyang back then. Yan Emperor Murong Chong?"
Wu Lie's heart suddenly rose to his throat - that's right, I'm afraid no one here is more familiar with Murong Chong than Xie Xuan!Not only did the two armies face each other, but they also fought hand to hand, and the two fought each other with hundreds of moves. The emperor's disguise definitely couldn't hide it from him.Peeking at Ren Zhen again, although he still looked like an old god, smiling and looking at Xie Xuan slightly, his expression inevitably showed a hint of solemnity and nervousness.
Note: The Land of Three Wus refers to the rich lands such as Wujun (now Suzhou, Jiangsu), Wuxing (now Huzhou, Zhejiang), Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) directly controlled by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which means the rear of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the source of all national tax revenue land.At that time, Sima Yuanxian served as the governor of Yangzhou in charge of the three Wu states and the country's great government, while Xie Xuan served as the governor of Xu and Jingzhou, in charge of the military towns such as Jiangbeikou and the internal and external military.
