One of the characteristics of the Wang family in Taiyuan is that their noses are particularly big. Wang Guobao's branch inherited the tradition of the Wang family. All four Wang Guobao brothers had big noses. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they had big noses.
There is also a special name for them, called King Yi.
After training his new younger brother Diao Kui, Wang Guobao also had a smile on his face. He pointed at a young man sitting at the end and said: "Your Majesty, today is not only a farewell banquet for Diao Governor to take office in Guangzhou.
, it is also Huan Xuan, the new governor of Yixing, who came back to report to you after inspecting the Beifu barracks according to the holy order."
Sima Daozi's eyes that had been slightly closed suddenly opened and he looked at Huan Xuan, who was sitting at the end. Although Huan Xuan had not been in the capital for a long time, he had already figured out the situation in the court. The Huan family had been dismissed by the king that year.
The big families headed by the two families joined forces to resist, causing Huan Wen to fail to usurp the throne and regret it for the rest of his life. Therefore, he had a deep hatred with the Wang family and the Xie family, and there was no possibility of joining forces. In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Huan Xuan quickly decided to bet his treasure.
For the emerging Sima Daozi, coming here today to ask for an audience with the King of Kuaiji is a manifestation of his dedication.
Huan Xuan cleared his throat and was about to stand up to salute when he heard Sima Daozi snort loudly: "Huan Xuan? Is he the son of Huan Wen, the great traitor who tried to usurp the throne? Tell me, was your father that year?
You want to seize my Sima clan’s empire?!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Even the singing and dancing singers froze in place and stopped dancing. Wang Guobao's expression changed and he waved his hands quickly. All the musicians and singers and dancers were stunned.
He retreated as if he was running away, not even caring about etiquette.
Huan Xuan's forehead was even more sweaty. He knelt directly on the ground, leaned on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. My father was loyal to the Jin Dynasty back then and had no intention of usurping. I
The Huan family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and we can learn from it every day. Some villain must have arranged to slander my Huan family. Please ask the king for a clear lesson!!" He said this in his mouth, but in his heart he had already started to greet Sima Daozi's black mother countless times.
.
Sima Daozi seemed very satisfied with Huan Xuan's performance of kneeling on the ground and being terrified all day long. He laughed, pointed at Huan Xuan who kept kowtowing, and said with a smile to Wang Guobao: "Did you see it? Wang Pushe, back then
The son of the arrogant Huan Wen is so timid. Has his father's demeanor ever left even half of it?!"
Wang Guobao raised the corners of his lips and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you have drunk too much and are joking with Governor Huan."
Sima Daozi smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, it's all in the past. I don't care whether it's true or false. I don't care, Grandmaster Huan, get up."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth and stood up. When he exposed his face, he had already changed into a humble smile: "My Huan family is today only because of the kindness of the court. I only hope to be great for generations to come."
Jin is guarding a foreign vassal, how can he dare to have second thoughts?"
Sima Daozi nodded and burped: "Okay, I'm a little tired today. Let's discuss these military and state matters in the court. Everyone, that's it for today. Please come back.
"
A look of disappointment flashed across Wang Guobao's face, but he quickly put on a smiling face and bowed to the other guests at the table: "Everyone, please go back for now. We will accompany the king another day!"
All the guests stood up and said respectfully: "Best farewell to your Majesty!"
Several servants came forward, lifted the entire mahogany couch where Sima Daozi was lying, and walked to the back room. Wang Guobao followed closely, leaving only the guests in the hall still where they were, and Huan Xuan had a smile on his face.
, but careful people will find that his hands have already been clenched into fists and are shaking slightly.
A godlike, handsome scholar in white walked past Huan Xuan. Wasn't it Yang Linzi who had appeared in Jingkou at the same time as Xie Xuan, whose pseudonym was Liu Linzong? He bowed to Huan Xuan: "My king
Gong, I wonder if Grandmaster Huan would like to express your gratitude and come to your humble residence to talk to me?"
Huan Xuan came back to his senses, loosened his clenched fists, smiled slightly, and bowed his arms to his waist: "How dare you not accept the invitation from the King's Minister?!"
Kuaiji Prince's Mansion, backyard.
Sima Daozi was carried into a separate room like a big fat pig, and started to touch the beautiful maids around him who were dressed in red and green. Wang Guobao followed closely and walked in, facing
The beauties carrying the couch pouted, and they all bowed and left. Sima Daozi reluctantly touched the butt of the last beautiful maid before lying back on the couch, with his feet raised and his legs raised.
He smiled and said, "It's so cool!"
Wang Guobao shook his head: "Your Majesty, you have gone too far today. After all, Huan Xuan is..."
Sima Daozi sat up and put on a stern expression: "After all, he is the son of Huan Wen, the great traitor. As the saying goes, the debts of the father are repaid by the son. The late emperor was forced by that damn old man, and he was so frightened that he
In the end, Gu was polite enough by not taking his life today!"
Wang Guobao sighed: "Having said that, Huan Wen has been dead for many years after all, and Huan Xuan took the initiative to ask for an audience today, with the intention of surrendering. If you humiliate him in public like this, I'm afraid he will rebel."
Sima Daozi sneered: "Back when the late emperor had not ascended the throne, I was an old friend with Huan Wen, but this time I had received the favor of the country and did not want to serve the country. Instead, I wanted to use the late emperor as a puppet and then make concessions to him."
, Humph, the late emperor would rather die than obey, and actually forced him to death. Now that the Huan family has lost power, and his hometown in Jingzhou is under siege by the Qin army, I thought of the imperial court and wanted to show my kindness, but I am not that stupid! "
Wang Guobao looked like he suddenly realized: "Oh, your Majesty is still wise, but I have forgotten the fault of the Huan family for not taking care of themselves. However, after all, Jingzhou is also the territory of the imperial court, and it cannot just fall into the hands of Qin.
Hands."
Sima Daozi smiled slightly, turned his thick lips, and clapped his hands: "Master Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Tai, who was the leader of Eguan Bodai and had a Taoist spirit, came out from behind the screen on one side with a whisk in hand, and smiled slightly: "I have seen the king, and I have seen the king's servant."
Wang Guobao was stunned at first, and then thought to himself, grandma, no wonder Sima Daozi, an alcoholic, suddenly gained such insight. It turned out to be Sun Tai, a demon Taoist who has always been in cahoots with Diao Kui, and has tried to pass me through several times.
I suppressed the introduction to Sima Daozi because I didn’t want him to compete with me for favor, but why did he meet Sima Daozi?
He was cursing secretly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Oh my, Master Sun, when did you become the king's guest?"
