Golden Summoner

"Your Majesty, Xun Xu, the Secretary and Superintendent of the Marquis of Jibei County, is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

As soon as Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he saw a eunuch standing at the door and reporting to him.

Xia Pingan looked around. This was a large hall. It should be the place where Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan usually handled government affairs in the palace. It was already evening, because the candlesticks in the main hall were lit with candles. The entire hall was brightly lit. There were two rows of guards standing at the entrance of the hall. A eunuch in red was coming to the side of the hall and whispered.

Xia Pingan lowered his head again and saw a thick long beard on his chin, wearing a yellow dragon robe, and holding a memorial in his hand. The memorial was written by General Wei Guan, and it was about Qinliang in the northwest. Two states military.

Xia Pingan put down the memorial in his hand, glanced at the guards outside the palace, and asked the eunuch, "Who is the palace guard on duty tonight?"

The eunuch who answered was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, but he quickly replied, "Sima Ji is guarding the palace tonight..."

Xia Pingan has no impression of who Sima Ji is. Even if Xia Pingan is a historian, it is impossible to know every mission in history. However, this person's surname is Sima and he is responsible for the palace guard. He should be from the Sima family, and He deeply trusted Sima Yan, which made Xia Pingan feel relieved.

"Oh, I understand. What's going on with Xun Xu?"

"From what I heard from Mr. Xun, it seems that he is here for the prince's marriage. Didn't His Majesty ask Xun Xu to inquire about Jia Chong's daughter Jia Nanfeng last time? I think Mr. Xun must have news!" With a smile on his face, he glanced at Xia Pingan secretly, and he was still pouring medicine into Xia Pingan with a low eyebrow, "Old slave also heard that Jia Chong's daughter Jia Nan is beautiful and fragrant, virtuous and virtuous, and everyone outside praises her. Your Majesty asked Mr. Xun to inquire, just in time to confirm..."

Xia Pingan took a deep look at the old eunuch and sighed in his heart. Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, was a wise man. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was deceived by these villains and Xun Xu and the people beside him in choosing his daughter-in-law. , when the three of them became tigers, they mistakenly chose Jia Chong's daughter Jia Nanfeng as the crown prince, which eventually led to the Eight Kings Rebellion, severely damaged the vitality of the entire country, and made an eternal mistake.

Without Jian Nanfeng, there would be no Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and without the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, there would be no Wuhu Luanhua.

What destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty and caused serious disasters to the entire country was because Sima was deceived and chose the wrong daughter-in-law by mistake.

Choosing the wrong daughter-in-law, ruining the country, ruining all lives, and almost causing the Huaxia clan to be exterminated, this kind of lesson is really too cruel.

"Let Sima Ji come to see me!" Xia Ping'an withdrew his gaze, looked at the book, and ordered.

When the eunuch saw that Sima Yan did not immediately summon Xun Xu, the eunuch of the Marquis of Jibei County, to come to see him, but instead asked the guard Sima Ji to come to see him, he did not dare to say anything and quickly went down to tell him, "Who is calling Xia Ping'an the emperor? The emperor wants to see him." It's normal for someone not to see someone or to want someone to wait for a while.

Xia Ping'an looked at Wei Guan's memorial. The characters on the memorial were like flying dragons and phoenixes, and they looked like they were written by everyone. Wei Guan's calligraphy was really good.

Looking at the handwriting on the memorials directed by Sima Yan on the table, Xia Pingan nodded, picked up a pen and a piece of paper, and in the blink of an eye, he wrote a few lines on the paper according to Sima Yan's handwriting, and then blew Blow on the paper to quickly dry the writing on the paper.

After the handwriting was dry, Xia Pingan folded the paper.

…

After a while, the sound of armor scraping could be heard outside the hall, and a general was already standing outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, General Sima is here!" The old eunuch came into the palace to report.

"Let him in!"

"yes!"

After a while, a general in armor and a helmet, who was in his thirties and had a majestic build, with a beard and tiger eyes and thick eyebrows, strode into the palace, saluted Xia Ping'an, and said in a rough voice, "See you, sir." Your Majesty, please redeem the armor of this humble minister, who is unable to salute!"

When Xia Ping'an saw the armor on this man, he knew that although Sima Ji was unknown in history, he was indeed a loyal, reliable and able man. The armor on Sima Ji was extremely heavy, at least dozens of kilograms, and he had to take it off before putting it on. They were all very tired. Ordinary generals would be on guard duty at the palace at night and would have to patrol everywhere, so they might not be fully armed. But this Sima Ji was extremely honest, meticulous, not sloppy at all, and his strength should be pretty good.

"You are here, I can rest assured. The safety of the palace tonight will be left to you. No one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without my order!" Xia Pingan stared at Sima Ji and explained.

That Sima Ji was startled, but in an instant, he raised his head, with a flash of light in his eyes, clasped his fists and accepted the order, "Wei ministers obey your orders!"

Xia Pingan walked down from behind the desk, came directly to Sima Ji, patted Sima Ji's shoulder, and handed the note he had just written to Sima Ji, "Go ahead and press the instructions on the note. Order to go and sit down!"

That Sima Ji bowed, took the note with both hands, and slowly exited the hall.

The old eunuch had just been peeking at the note Xia Pingan handed to Sima Ji. Unfortunately, Xia Pingan folded the note. The old eunuch didn't see a word of what was written on the note.

After Sima Ji left the hall, Xia Pingan returned to the dragon chair at the long table and said calmly to the old eunuch, "Let Xun Xu come in!"

"yes!"

After a while, Xun Xu came in.

Xun Xu was already quite old. He looked at the ground while walking and never glanced randomly for fear of stepping on ants. He looked very cautious.

But just such a person was one of the culprits and operators who almost destroyed China.

Why did Xun Xu deceive Sima Yan and insist on giving Jia Nanfeng to Sima Yan as his daughter-in-law? The reason was because Xun Xu and Jia Chong, Jia Nanfeng's father, were in the same party. Ren Kai did not get along with Jia Chong and recommended Jia Chong to Qinliang in the northwest. The two states were appointed governors, and the people in Qin and Liang states were fierce and there were many barbarians. Jia Chong did not want to leave the center of power of the empire and go to Qin and Liang states to take office. Then Xun Xu gave Jia Chong an idea: As long as your daughter marries Give it to the prince and become the prince's concubine. You will be the prince's father-in-law, so naturally you don't have to go to Qin and Liang to take up your post.

Jia Nanfeng is the daughter of Jia Chong, with a fierce and fierce personality and an ugly appearance, while the prince Sima Zhong is stupid, timid, weak and incompetent. At a critical moment for the fate of the Sima family's royal family, he was able to betray Sima Yan and the entire empire for his own personal gain without hesitation.

Such a guy is also very accomplished in literary music, just like Cai Jing's calligraphy, and he interprets the state of a refined egoist to the extreme.

The rise of such people to the center is a disaster for the entire country, because in their hearts, everything except themselves is expendable.

"Xunxu is here to see your majesty..." Xunxu bowed to Xia Ping'an in a polite manner as he entered the hall.

Normally, Sima Yan would ask him to exempt himself from the ceremony, but today was different. Xun Xu saluted there and waited for a long time, but did not hear Xia Pingan ask him to stand down.

There was silence in the hall!

Xun Xu maintained a salute posture. Xia Pingan did not speak, and he did not dare to straighten his back. In just a moment, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Xun Xu's temples, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Okay, get back on your feet!" Xia Ping'an said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xun Xu wiped the cold sweat that had just appeared on his forehead with his sleeve. He glanced at Xia Pingan secretly and found that Xia Pingan was looking at the memorial. He only looked at himself with his peripheral vision, looking a little careless. Xun Xu There was a sudden rush in his heart, and he just tried to calm down, secretly wondering if he had done something wrong recently to make His Majesty unhappy, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he calmed down a little.

"What brings Xun Qing here?" Xia Ping'an put down the memorial and asked.

"Ahem, your majesty asked me to find out how Master Jia's daughter Jia Nanfeng is doing before. Wei Chen has sent someone to find out and is about to report back to your majesty!" Xun Xu said calmly.

"Oh, let's talk about the result!" Xia Ping'an suddenly seemed to be energetic.

"Jia Nan is virtuous and virtuous, and her country is beautiful and fragrant. Master Jia has been strict with this daughter since she was a child. She has been taught music and calligraphy since she was a child. Now she is a lady in Luoyang City, and she is a perfect match for the prince!"

Following Xun Qing's introduction, Xia Pingan's eyes suddenly turned cold. He had already given Xun Qing a warning just now, but Xun Qing was still greedy and clever, and wanted to deceive him, so don't blame yourself.
