Chapter 201: Misfortunes lead to the east
As for Sima Ji who went back to his house at this time, he could tolerate the dust and soil environment, and it was not suitable for the female family in the royal palace to do so.
"Do you know, your highness's appearance just now is very touching!" Yang Xin said in the tone of Sima Ji, "The captives of more than 100,000 Goguryeo have created the reputation of your highness. I understand why your highness wants to fight this fairly honest vassal state."
"In an honest vassal state, it is also a vassal state. Since it is a country, it is different." Sima Ji looked at Yang Xin's pun, and this woman in the Jin Dynasty might not quite understand the difference.
Is the so-called loyal vassal state, and no matter how loyal the North Koreans are, who uphold the greatism? He is not unaware of the attitude towards South Korea on the Internet in later generations. In fact, South Korea has done nothing wrong. In modern society, South Korea is also a greatism, but the target has changed from the dynasties of China to the United States of America.
People are still the most obedient country in America, and the United States never talks about two. However, in ancient times, they despise island countries based on the Central Plains, and in modern times, they despise China based on the United States. The route is still the same route, the familiar formula or the familiar taste.
When talking about how history enthusiasts praised North Korea's loyalty, when seeing reality, as long as they transpose their identities to Americans, they will feel how friendly South Korea is, and on the other hand, you will be as disgusting as you are a Chinese.
Sima Ji did not dare to guarantee that China would always be strong, and it was very normal for the tide to rise and fall. Moreover, the regime system between the West and China was completely different. He only thought deeply and knew that it was impossible. It would be better if the environment was similar to that of the West, because as we all know, the rulers of the West had almost never changed until before World War I, and they were descendants of those nobles. If the Sima family ruled China for more than a thousand years from now, would the people be willing to know whether the people were willing or not? The King of Yan would definitely be willing.
If Sima Ji, who was born in this family, would have a ghost if he was unwilling to be the master of China for more than a thousand years. It was a pity that he could only think about it. It was because he knew that China and the West were two different systems that the King of Yan only thought of ways to centralize power. As for things like vassal states, whether love is a false reputation.
Can the vassal state help you when something really happens? On the other hand, if you value this false reputation, you will help others if something happens to the vassal state. On the other hand, if you are weak, the vassal state will be richer than you, and then disgusting things will continue from now on.
It is better to destroy the vassal state directly if you are thankless. The King of Yan just adhered to one principle. If the people ask him to solve the problem, he will solve the problem of the people.
But this did not prevent him from his happy mood. Sima Ji had an advantage, that is, he was sincere most of the time. Although he was sad when he saw the corpses surrounded by the domestic city and the people in the city suffered great losses. But the joy of victory also exists objectively, I won! Since he won, the tragedy is no longer a tragedy, it is just an embellishment of the winner.
"Is this all for the better life of the people of Youzhou?" Sima Ji was deeply immersed in his emotions in an official voice.
"Oh!?" Yang Xin's fair face showed a moving smile. "Listen to what Your Highness said, Xin'er felt that Your Highness's personal morality was not inferior to that of ancient sages, and it was no problem to maintain a country and settle the country."
Sima Ji nodded intoxicatedly, reached out and pulled Yang Xin's face and teased, "I just said that I was just fooling the people! Do you really believe it?"
"Actually, there is no word!" Yang Xin said with a smile on her face, "It's just that your highness loves to hear..."
The next day, Sima Ji left the palace with a huge female family. Who made the environment in the city worse suddenly after construction started? But it doesn’t matter. The manor of the King of Yan within the fiefdom is not very good. It is still not a problem to find a few temporary residences. The manor in Tianjin can be used for temporary residences.
This manor is not big, with a total of 36 courtyards and 352 rooms. During this period, it was decorated with yards and gardens. Sima Ji liked rivers very much, so of course he also dug soil to drink water during construction. However, it was a little shabby than the Yanwang Mansion. It covers an area of only 200,000 square meters, which is only one-tenth of the Yanwang Mansion.
I came here to stay just to avoid the noisy environment in Jicheng, but Sima Ji forgot one thing, this place is very close to Yang's mansion. After Yang Xin and his two giant babies brothers, they immediately visited the door after learning that Sima Ji was coming, and said that the King of Yan went to the triumphant battle to promote the country's prestige, and then reminded him to pay attention to his health in the tone of the family. Xin'er was very worried about it, and Yang Xin sat next to Sima Ji, restless, "Look at how reasonable your brother said!" Sima Ji held his smile and said to Yang Xin.
"Brother, King Yan has just returned, why are you talking about this?" Yang Xin finally couldn't help but blatantly sending her daughter to the house and interrupted, "The family is safe now. It's time to reflect on the door, and how many people are watching."
"Xin'er has been spoiled since she was a child, and I have been spoiled by me. After entering the mansion, the King of Yan was very forgiving. In fact, Xin'er is very good in nature. She has never dared to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she is not inferior to any woman." The objection was ineffective, and Yang Ying spoke calmly, as if she had not heard her daughter's words. "The King of Yan needs to be patient in her daughter's thoughts."
"Yes, I have always been very patient!" Sima Ji sang with Yang Ying with a smile. Seeing how popular my father-in-law was talking, he asked tentatively, "Why stay in the mansion for dinner?"
"Since it's the King of Yan that is speaking, I'm disrespectful to you for your brother!" Yang Cheng and Yang Hu said at the same time, "What kind of thing does my little sister do to make a person mean? My brothers must persuade you more, so the King of Yan doesn't have to be annoyed."
"It must be sure, it's pretty good now!" Sima Ji nodded with satisfaction, as if he had met the two of them too late. Yang Xin, who was sitting on the side, looked redder and redder. The more familiar the conversations the few people were, the more embarrassed Yang Xin was.
It was not until the evening that Sima Ji sent his father-in-law and brother-in-law away, and then turned around to look at Yang Xin who was by his side. He couldn't help laughing anymore, "You have seen this. It's really disrespectful to me, Sima Ji, who forced you."
Yang Xin looked quite angry and embarrassed. She felt that she should talk to her father and brother. Hongnong Yang's face was completely lost. Even if she wanted to find a place to shade, it would not be too obvious.
People from Yang's mansion came for several consecutive days. Later, Yang Xin stopped showing up and stayed in the boudoir and did not come out. Sima Ji also regretted it. The other party was really too enthusiastic, and he regretted choosing this manor to live temporarily.
Fortunately, a guest came to the door soon. Lieutenant Liu Yuan of Qi State and Sima Ji were very happy. Finally, he was not from Yang's mansion. He greeted him happily and asked, "Now you are already in Youzhou, what do you think of me Youzhou?"
Liu Yuan bowed to Sima Ji and said, "King Yan, when we come to Youzhou, all we see is the people living and working in peace and contentment. It seems that this Youzhou has already flourished under the rule of the King of Yan! But has the King of Yan ignored some etiquette principles?"
"I wish to hear it clearly!" Sima Ji picked up the wine glass and took a sip, asking, "I have a good relationship with King Qi, and I don't know what the lieutenant is talking about?"
"This is a good relationship between the King of Yan and my Highness. The King of Qi asked me to remind me. It is not advisable to go to Luoyang too late. When the army returns from the war, it is understandable that the King of Yan is relaxed and wants to enjoy it. However, it should be after returning to Luoyang to report!" Liu Yuan said calmly, "Otherwise, the court will inevitably think too much after the time is long."
Sima Ji stood up and saluted respectfully to Liu Yuan, "What the general said is very true. I dare not forget the kindness of the King of Qi. I will set off for Luoyang tomorrow!"
"Your Highness will just take it clearly!" Liu Yuan stood up and said with a respect, "Liu Yuan was just a lieutenant, but he was ordered to come over to remind Your Highness that he did not dare to take credit!"
Sima Ji himself thought it was the iron ore of Tangshan, and he had already sweated coldly under his clothes. It seems that it is not the case now. But it is clear whether he has to go to Luoyang to see him again.
"This lieutenant is not bad. It seems that the King of Qi is also a good person!" Yang Xin came out to comment after Liu Yuan left.
"Why don't a good person see it in one go? As for Liu Heng! Although he didn't say it, I know!" Sima Ji glanced at Yang Xin and said, "He is a Hun. I happen to know his feet."
"Then will something happen if you go to Luoyang?" Yang Xin asked with some concern, "The Queen must know if I am in your mansion will implicate you!"
Sima Ji's face changed, and he held back his smile and felt worried, "It should be true. The relationship between your Yang family and Jia family may be a life-threatening death once I go there this time, but I will not regret it."
"If your highness is in danger of life, Yang Xin is willing to keep his loyalty for the rest of his life." Yang Xin swore as if she was willing to leave.
You said that it is no more effective than Shouzhen for a lifetime to throw yourself into your arms. Unfortunately, Sima Ji couldn't say that, which obviously destroyed the atmosphere. The next day, Sima Ji set off again and led hundreds of guards toward Luoyang slowly. After half a month, he entered Luoyang City. Then he had a banquet for his fellow gentry and went to the palace to pay homage to Jia Nanfeng.
The three hundred swords and axe driver gave the order to finish the whole book! My name is Sima Ji, I never expected that I would come out unscathed. Jia Nanfeng did ask about several fish that were missing from Yang, which I did not expect. However, it was obvious that the current Hongnong Yang family is not worth Jia Nanfeng's attention too much, so he picked it up high and put it down gently and spared me.
Jia Nanfeng also played with the emperor's mind on Sima Ji, and obviously did not argue with the result of conquering Goguryeo. Compared with the southern expedition, he finally came without reward or punishment. The King of Yan guessed that the treasury might be that the national treasury had no money.
