Chapter 516: Princess Yiyang who ran away from marriage
The guests who participated in the banquet were all children of wealthy families without exception, and this luxurious feast of the second generation of officials was rumored to be attended by Sima Yan, the prince of the Jin Dynasty, which made these scholars flock to it.
King Jin's health is deteriorating in Luoyang's upper circle is no longer a secret, about who will inherit the throne of King Jin, everyone is speculating, Sima Zhao gave birth to a total of nine sons, but it does not mean that the nine sons are competitive, only the eldest son Sima Yan and the second son Sima You really have a chance to take over the throne. According to the principle of establishing a long lineage, it seems that this throne belongs to Sima Yan, but Sima You has a special identity, he is not only the second son of Sima Zhao, but also passed to Sima Shi, from the legal point of view, Sima You, as the son of Sima Shi, is more competitive for the throne than Sima Yan, because the world of the Sima family, first of all, Sima Shi's, Sima Zhao took over after Sima Shi's death, and even Sima Zhao himself has said many times that this world is his brother, and he will inherit it by his brother's descendants in the future.
After Sima Zhao was seriously ill, on the surface, it looked as usual, but secretly there was an undercurrent, and the competition for the position of heir had reached a white-hot level, and at this time, for those powerful people in the court, those wealthy families, it would undoubtedly be a huge test, if you stand on the right team, the whole family may soar in the future, if you stand on the wrong team, it is likely to collapse.
So at this critical time, such a banquet in He Mansion is undoubtedly eye-catching, He Shao not only invited the prince Sima Yan, but also invited the second prince Sima You, it is obvious that these two focus figures will make He Mansion Pengbi shine.
The high standard of the banquet in Hefu is completely eye-catching. Delicious food. Land and water. From the very beginning, this luxurious feast attracted quite a lot of attention.
Liu Yin followed Shi Chong and slowly entered the He Mansion.
The people who participated in the banquet today were all "Shaozhuang faction", ranging in age from twenty to thirty years old, although Liu Yin didn't know any of them, but Shi Chong knew these people well, and whispered to Liu Yin from time to time. And also say hello to the guests who pass by.
Sure enough, it is no different from what Liu Yin expected, the identities of these people are almost no different from Shi Chong, they are all important ministers of the imperial court, and now they are all holding some small positions, and they are all very leisurely and relaxed.
Liu Yin also met He Shao for the first time, with a handsome appearance, a kind smile, a gentle attitude, humble and polite.
Will he be Sima Qing's husband?
In the depths of Liu Yin's heart, countless throbs swelled. It turned out that he was Sima Qing's fiancé, when Liu Yin and Sima Qing first met in two years. They are already engaged.
Liu Yin felt that his breathing became short, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, if he didn't care about the past with Qing'er, it was completely self-deception, and now when he saw his rival at first glance, Liu Yin's eyes naturally had a trace of hostility.
However, He Shao was completely unconscious, his smile was still so sunny, and he greeted Shi Chong: "Brother Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't want to get drunk today." ”
Shi Chong said with a smile: "I heard that Brother He is married, and the younger brother has to rush back even if he is desperate, this grand ceremony is." Brother He hugged the beauty, and he really envied the little brother. ”
He Shao smiled: "There, there, how can the little brother compare to Brother Shi." Who is this? He Shao's gaze turned to Liu Yin beside Shi Chong, this was a completely unfamiliar face, but since he came with Shi Chong, he was obviously not an ordinary person.
Shi Chong hurriedly introduced: "This is the new Chinese Chuan, who has some connections with the younger brother, and I came with me today to introduce you to your close relatives." ”
Liu Yin arched his hand slightly and said, "Gongzi He, beg for mercy." ”
He Shao returned the salute and said, "Since it is a friend of Brother Shi, it is also a friend of He, Brother Wen does not have to be polite, just feel free." ”
Liu Yin bowed slightly, his years of military career have created his ability to honor and disgrace without being shocked, even though he is angry in his heart, but there are no waves on his face.
In fact, about Sima Qing's matter, Liu Yin is almost blank, only knowing that she is the military captain of the Wei State, Qingniao, the youngest daughter of Sima Shi, and other than that, she really doesn't know anything.
Her status is so noble, why would she not hesitate to risk her life to sneak into Shu to assassinate Liu Chan?
This is the biggest question in Liu Yin's heart, about Sima Qing, there are too many doubts about her, which Liu Yin doesn't know, even the fact that she has a fiancé, Liu Yin only heard about it for the first time today, how many secrets are still hidden in her, so Liu Yin is really curious, maybe this trip to Luoyang, there will really be a lot of amazing things happening.
Because he was not familiar with Liu Yin, He Shao only greeted him politely, and quickly turned his gaze away, and made a noise with the guests who had just arrived.
Liu Yin didn't care, after all, he came with a special mission, how could he care about the coldness and indifference of others. However, Shi Chong was a little unhappy, after all, Liu Yin was brought by him, and others disrespected Liu Yin, that is, he slapped him in the face, and Shi Chong would be very angry.
However, Shi Chong was not easy to get angry with He Shao, after all, he was the master here, and no matter how he said it, he couldn't take the lead, so he had to stroll in with Liu Yin.
Liu Yin lowered his voice and asked, "Since He Shao and Princess Yiyang have been engaged to the wedding contract two years ago, why did they delay the wedding until this year?" ”
Shi Chong glanced at He Shao, who was greeting guests not far away, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen doesn't know, this princess of Yiyang has a strong temperament, and she is extremely dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by the King of Jin, so she left Luoyang alone and went to Shu, at that time He Shao almost became the laughing stock of everyone, this matter is well known in Luoyang City, He Shao couldn't even raise her head when she saw someone at that time, and the feeling of being thrown off by a woman was really uncomfortable." It's just that for some reason, after Princess Yiyang returned from Guanzhong, she agreed to the marriage, and this time the He family held the wedding very grandly, which was to announce the world and restore the reputation of He Fu. ”
Liu Yin nodded, although Shi Chong said it was relatively simple, but Liu Yin could still understand Sima Qing's intentions, because Shi Chong didn't know what was going on in Shu, only Liu Yin knew that the main reason why Sima Qing went to Shu was to escape marriage, she was obviously very resistant to this political marriage, so she would rather go to Shu alone than stay in Luoyang to listen to Sima Zhao's arrangement.
