Chapter 522: Visit
Ji Xi's home is located in an alley on Guangyangmen Inner Street, compared with those high-ranking officials and nobles, Ji Xi's home is obviously smaller, only one inside and outside, although it is not a thatched house, but it is only adobe green tiles, which is really simple.
Ji Xi's father is famous, the word is far away, and the official is the official to supervise the military food and serve the imperial history, but when Ji Xi was young, his father had died, and Ji Xi Ji Kang grew up under the care of his mother, and his family was poor. Although Ji Xi Ji Kang is extremely talented, he is still very poor to live on a meager life, especially after Ji Kang was slandered and framed for Sima Zhao by Zhong Huijin, who usually has a grudge, because of Lu An's affairs three years ago, the Ji family seems to be even more depressed.
So much so that when Liu Yin followed Chen Lin to the door of Ji Xi's house, he couldn't help but be puzzled, thinking that Chen Lin had gone to the wrong door.
"Ji Xi's family is poor, but he is an upright person, and he hates greed, so he does not have a decent place to live until now." Chen Lin explained to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin was silent, compared with Ji Kang's unbridled refusal to enter the office, Ji Xi seemed to be more secular and was quite keen on fame, so that he attracted Lu An's ridicule and Ruan Ji's white eyes, but compared with shameless politicians like Jia Chong, he still seemed much higher.
Chen Lin went up and knocked lightly on the firewood, and a person stepped forward and said, "Who knocked on the door?" ”
"Is Sima Ji at home?"
"My lord is here, who is Your Excellency?"
"Please pass it on, and say that the master of the Chinese book waiter, Fang Shi, please see me."
The doorman answered, and after a while, he heard a sound of footsteps behind the door, and then there was a hearty laugh, Ji Xi opened the door and came out, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Master Fang." There are many distinguished guests, there is a loss of welcome, and it is rude. Who is this? ”
Liu Yin arched his hand and smiled: "Sima Ji is really a noble person who forgets things, we met at the banquet in He Mansion yesterday. ”
Ji Xi suddenly realized, and said with his hand on his forehead: "I'm ashamed." Shu Ji is clumsy, I did see it in He Mansion yesterday, but I don't know Mr. Gao's surname, how to call it? ”
Yesterday, Ji Xi accompanied Sima You to Hefu, and almost all of the people who participated in the banquet were all the second generation of officials, a large group of gentlemen, naturally there was no common language with Ji Xi, Sima You was circling with him, and Ji Xi was just watching from afar. So Liu Yin, who was present at the time, did not leave any impression on Ji Xi, and it was reasonable that Ji Xi did not know him.
Chen Lin introduced: "Ji Sima, this is the Chinese Chuanwen Master who is the subordinate of the door, and he met with Ji Sima during the banquet yesterday, but he has not talked to him, and he has come to visit him today. ”
Although Ji Xi is not interested in those children of the family, he and Chen Xiao are like-minded, and he naturally has a good impression of Liu Yin who came with Chen Lin at this moment. He smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lord Wen, disrespectful and disrespectful." Inside please. ”
Entering the hall, it was still as simple as ever, even the straw mat sitting was slightly broken, and Ji Xi said with a little embarrassment: "The cold house is broken, and the guests are neglected." ”
Liu Yin put his hands behind his back and looked around. smiled slightly: "The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there are dragons, and Si is a burrow." Weiwu Dexin, Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishuzi Yunting, even the master once said: 'What is ugly? ’”
Ji Xi was overjoyed, Liu Yin's words compared him to Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiong, it was simply the supreme glory, Ji Xi said repeatedly: "False praise and false praise." ”
The two sides chatted for a while, and as soon as Liu Yin's words changed, he went straight to the topic, and it could be seen that a few words of praise had stunned Ji Xi, and unintentionally, the relationship between the two sides was brought closer.
"Ji Sima won the respect of the Marquis of Wuyang, presumably he also has a deep understanding of the current situation, do not hide from Sima Ji, yesterday at the banquet in Hefu, and talked with the Marquis of Wuyang very entertaining, the Marquis of Wuyang is gentle and humble, he is an upright gentleman, worthy of the reputation of a benevolent monarch."
Ji Xi heard that someone praised his master and made him even more excited than praising him, and said with a happy face: "Wuyang Hou Wendun is pure, Mingde is deacent, and he is really a Ming master." ”
Liu Yin shook his head lightly and said: "Wuyang Hou has a gentle personality and is kind to others, but this is not necessarily a good thing, I am afraid that I will invite death for myself." ”
Ji Xi's face changed, and he said faintly unhappily: "Why did Master Wen say this? ”
Liu Yin said solemnly: "The fame and reputation of the Marquis of Wuyang in the court are far above the princes, even the prince Sima Yan is beyond reach, but fame and reputation are not equal to strength, if you want to succeed to the throne, it is far from enough to rely on fame, if you want to sit firmly in the country, you still have to rely on strength." ”
Ji Xi said disapprehantly: "Master Wen is too worried, the king of Jin has already expressed his position before the heir, and the government will return to the prince after a hundred years, this matter is known to everyone in the world, is it possible that the king of Jin will regret it?" ”
Liu Yin smiled coldly and said: "Until the last moment, who dares to speak lightly about victory or defeat, did Ji Sima know that Jia Chong of the Central Protector Army had already joined the prince Sima Yan?" ”
Ji Xi was shocked, Jia Chong and Sima Yan secretly communicated with each other, he didn't know yet, after all, Jia Chong was Sima You's father-in-law, and with this level of relationship, it was hard for people to believe that Jia Chong would abandon Sima You and join Sima Yan's disciples.
"This ...... Impossible, right? ”
Liu Yin said: "Last night, someone saw Jia Chong enter the mansion of the prince at night, and talked with the prince all night. ”
Ji Xi heard Liu Yin's words, and he was already convinced, at this time, Jia Chong entered the Shizi Mansion at night, and the fool also understood Jia Chong's intentions, Ji Xi couldn't help but be angry: "Piff, dare you do this? ”
Liu Yin said: "Ji Sima, now is not the time to be angry, Jia Chong is insidious and treacherous, since he can turn his back on the flames, then it is obvious that Sima Shizi has gained power, this battle for the throne, I am afraid that the Shizi's side is already a sure winner." ”
Ji Xi still didn't believe it: "The world was originally the world of King Jing, this is the words of King Jin himself, after the Marquis of Wuyang is King Jing, it is natural for him to take over the throne, if King Jin passes on the throne, shouldn't he lose his trust in the world?" ”
Liu Yin said leisurely: "Who is the legend, between the thoughts of the King of Jin, but he also has to consider the opinions of the ministers of the court, if all the ministers support the prince, the King of Jin may not be bent on going his own way, and he is as good as a stream, but I am afraid that the Marquis of Wuyang will eventually be a mirror and a bamboo basket to draw water." ”
Ji Xi's face had changed greatly, and he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands and said, "This ...... How can this be? "Ji Xi is not the kind of person who can control the overall situation and make drastic moves, and now that the matter is urgent, he has no idea at all.
Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "There is a plan, but it can be determined." (To be continued.) )
