Golden Summoner

Xia Ping'an looked at Xun Xu, who was eloquent but cautious in promoting Jia Nanfeng. His eyes gradually became cold, but his face smiled, "According to Xun Qing, I heard rumors about Jia Nanfeng before. There are five reasons why, are they all lies?"

Before Sima Yan chose his daughter-in-law, Sima Yan had actually heard some news about Jia Nanfeng, the daughter of Jia Chong. The so-called "five impossibilities" refer to Jia Nanfeng's "jealous personality, destined to have a young son, ugly appearance, short stature, and thick and dark skin." , in ancient times, women with these "five undesirables" characteristics were generally ugly and vicious to the extreme, with no redeeming features. They were the stars of disaster. Even if they married the common people, let alone the prince, they would be disliked by everyone.

It was such a woman who, under the package of a group of people, deceived Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan and became Sima Yan's daughter-in-law. According to etiquette, Sima Yan only had the opportunity to see what Jia Nanfeng looked like after the prince's marriage. But at that time, it was too late to replace him. The prince Sima Zhong was stupid and cowardly, and was eaten to death by Jia Nanfeng. He did not even dare to complain in front of Sima Yan, which eventually led to a series of tragedies.

Xun Xu's expression did not change, and he bowed to Xia Ping'an with a stern look on his face, "Your Majesty, those who say that Jia Nanfeng has the 'five things' are absolutely slanderous words. Maybe someone knew that Your Majesty wanted to choose the crown prince, so he deliberately Your Majesty, please be careful about the false news that has been spread!"

The "someone" mentioned by Xun Xu is alluding to the general Wei Guan, because compared with Jia Chong, Wei Guan also has a daughter who is the candidate for the crown prince that Sima Yan is concerned about, and Wei Guan's daughter, Feng Ping Very good, compared to Jia Nanfeng, he has the "five qualities" - virtuous personality, masculine appearance, beautiful appearance, slender figure, and fine white skin.

If Sima Yan had chosen Wei Guan's daughter when choosing his daughter-in-law, there would probably have been no such thing as the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Husbands Rebellion.

This guy Xun Xu was deceiving the saints and beating him up at the same time.

Xia Ping'an didn't say anything, he just stood up, walked down from behind the desk, passed directly over Xun Xu, who was still there, and walked towards the outside of the palace, "I want to take a look around the palace arsenal today, Xun Xu Please come with me, sir..."

Xun Xu was stunned. He didn't know why the emperor wanted to go to the arsenal tonight. However, the arsenal was not a place that ordinary people could enter. It was an important place in the palace where treasures were placed. It was impossible for ordinary people to go in and see. Emperor Inviting him to go see it together, Xun Xu thought it was a kind of "favor", so after being stunned for a moment, he followed Xia Pingan towards the arsenal.

A eunuch shouted in a long and drawn-out voice, "Your Majesty... your Majesty... you... drive... your weapon... your library..."

When the guards and eunuchs outside heard that Xia Pingan wanted to go to the arsenal, they all hurriedly lit up lanterns, and the guards led the way, and a group of people headed towards the palace arsenal in a mighty manner.

"I wonder why Your Majesty is interested in showing off his arsenal tonight?" Xun Xu followed Xia Pingan carefully and asked respectfully.

"It's nothing. I suddenly want to see the three treasures of the previous dynasty tonight..."

Xia Ping'an is telling the truth. If he becomes Sima Yan this time, what he wants to see most is actually the three treasures of the Han Dynasty stored in the arsenal of the Jin Palace. Those three treasures are Liu Bang's. The python sword used, Wang Mang's head, and the clogs of Saint Kong were used.

These three treasures have been in the palace since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. They are the national treasures of the Han Dynasty and have been kept since then. Whether it was Cao Wei before or the Jin Dynasty now, they have kept these three treasures well and dare not According to the trajectory of history, it was not until after Sima Zhong succeeded to the throne that the three national treasures were completely lost due to an accident and a fire in the palace arsenal.

…

Xia Ping'an didn't say a word all the way, and after more than ten minutes, he arrived at the palace arsenal.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

As a eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs, all the guards outside the palace arsenal came out to greet him.

"Welcome Your Majesty..."

Xia Ping'an waved his hand gently, and the arsenal door, which had been soaked in tung oil and covered with iron sheets and copper nails, was slowly pushed open by two guards to welcome the emperor. The wall lamps in the arsenal were also lit one by one. , the entire arsenal was brightly lit, with guards standing solemnly under almost every wall lamp.

Xia Pingan strode into the arsenal.

The arsenal is very large, just a huge warehouse filled with treasures everywhere. This is the place where the Jin Dynasty gathered all the rare treasures from all over the world.

The official in charge of guarding the arsenal followed Xia Pingan with the account books and books in the arsenal. He introduced Xia Pingan to the situation in the arsenal as he walked, not daring to be careless at all.

"Take me to see Wang Mang's head!" Xia Pingan directly ordered.

"yes!"

…

After a while, the officials of the arsenal took Xia Pingan to a separate room in the innermost part of the arsenal. In that room, there were three treasures left from the Han Dynasty.

When he saw the three treasures, Xia Ping'an, as a history expert, felt excited about unraveling the veil of history and witnessing China's legendary national treasures with his own eyes. At the same time, he was also shocked, because as an array master, he had learned from those three treasures. I felt a powerful formation and mysterious aura.

The placement of those three treasures in the room was by no means random.

Wang Mang's head was packed in a wooden box and placed in the middle. On Wang Mang's head, hanging high was the python-slaying sword used by Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. The python-slaying sword was unsheathed, with the tip of the blade pointing downwards, pointing directly at Wang Mang. The position of Wang Mang's head is unusual, and under Wang Mang's head, close to the ground, is a pair of wooden shoes full of historical vicissitudes. These are the shoes of Saint Kong.

The python-slaying sword of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty is in the sky, the saint's footsteps touch the ground, and Wang Mang's head hangs in the middle, sandwiched between two sacred objects.

Xia Pingan was fascinated by these three sacred objects. In a trance, Xia Pingan's mind suddenly felt a picture - a sword as huge as a hill, hanging high under the sky, supporting the infinite sky, the sword The light edge is as dazzling as the rising sun, ready to slash out at any time. On the ground, a pair of wooden shoes are placed on the earth, standing motionless on the ground. Between the two, a huge white python dozens of miles long is rolling, flying into the sky. There was no way to escape, so he was suppressed by the sword and wooden shoes.

Behind the sword that held up the sky was the figure of an emperor, but the figure of the emperor was already a little dim at this time.

The person stepping on wooden shoes is the light and shadow of Saint Kong's figure, and the light and shadow of Saint Kong's figure are still clear.

Just as Xia Ping'an's consciousness appeared, the giant sword hanging high in the sky began to roar, and the flames were brilliant, which suddenly shocked the moving white giant python, making the white giant python tremble. Trembling, not daring to make the slightest move.

…

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Xia Ping'an's mind was immersed in the strange realm brought about by those three treasures. An unknown amount of time had passed. When he reacted with excitement, he heard a eunuch beside him calling him softly.

Xia Pingan looked at the faces of the people around him and saw that everyone was looking at him with surprised eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xia Ping'an asked.

"Ahem, please forgive me. Your Majesty just looked at these three treasures. He closed his eyes and remained silent for almost two quarters of an hour. I thought your Majesty was asleep..." The eunuch who opened the mouth explained in a low voice. .

For two quarters of an hour, that is, more than an hour, the people around them had just seen Xia Pingan looking at these three treasures in rapt attention, and no one dared to express their anger, and no one dared to disturb him.

Xia Pingan looked at the three treasures again. The more he looked, the more mysterious and extraordinary he felt. He directly asked the officials in the arsenal, "Have these three treasures always been placed like this?"

"Your Majesty, these three treasures have been placed alone in this room since the previous dynasty. They have always been placed like this. The officials who guarded the arsenal in the past generations followed the instructions left by their predecessors and said that these three treasures must not be touched without permission!"

"Why?"

The official guarding the arsenal glanced at Xia Ping'an and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my innocence, and I dare to speak out!"

"I forgive you, tell me why!"

"Because the previous admonitions left in the arsenal say that Wang Mang was originally the white snake killed by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Mang was a python. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty in order to avenge his death by Emperor Gaozu. Wang Mang's eldest son Wang Yu discovered that Wang Mang was abnormal, and he was ready to pour blood on Wang Mang. Unfortunately, Wang Yu was killed by Wang Mang after his defeat. After Wang Mang was executed, the Han Dynasty found an expert to set up the situation with the Python Sword and the Saint's Footsteps, in order to shock Wang Mang... "

After hearing this explanation, Xia Ping'an looked at the three treasures that had been handed down from the Han Dynasty and was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, Xia Pingan heard the sound of armor outside. Sima Ji had come back to resume his duties. He walked outside the house, bowed and reported in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, your Majesty's orders have been completed." OK!"

Xia Ping'an let out a long breath. He looked at Xun Xu, smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and said softly, "Xun Qing, who is more harmful to the country, you or Mang?"

As soon as Xia Pingan said these words, the atmosphere in the arsenal was like ice. It froze all of a sudden. The expressions of everyone around him changed. The palace guards couldn't help but put their hands on the swords at their waists. Sima Ji, who was standing outside the room, stared at Xun Xu with eyes like arrows.

Xun Xu's face changed drastically, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. He swallowed a mouthful of spit, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... what do you mean by this?"

Xia Ping'an sighed, looked at the python-slaying sword, and said something, "Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty failed in the end. The Han Dynasty still has Guangwu to revive, and China will still be China. Even if Wang Mang succeeded in usurping the Han Dynasty, China will still be China." It’s still China. It’s just the Han Dynasty and the change of dynasties that will perish, not the world. But if I am deceived by you today, it will not only be me, the Jin Dynasty, who will perish in the future, but the world, and countless people in this world. All of you will turn into bones because of your own selfishness today. China is uninhabited for thousands of miles. Xun Xu, your harm is ten times greater than that of Wang Mang..."
