Huan Chong's face looked ugly. He was really running out of gas. He gently waved his hand to Xiang Mao and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Yes!" Although Xiang Mao was still worried, he still ran away. He could not disobey Huan Chong's order.
After a while, Jingjiang officials, big and small, and civil and military officials gathered in Huan Mansion. Huan Chong was lying on the bamboo couch with a brocade quilt, his face was sallow, and his eyes were closed.
Huan Xuan and Huan Chong's disciples Huan Si, Huan Qian, Huan Xiu and others stood by the side. Huan Shimin, Huan Shiqian and his general Guo Bao et al. Because the recent Shangyong generation has caused chaos among the refugees, these refugees took advantage of the opportunity.
Places such as Yongxincheng have recently become three
In the power vacuum zone of Guan, they actually broke through Shangyong County in one fell swoop. Jingchu was shocked. Huan Chong did not dare to neglect this, so he sent a few of them to conquer. Now that they have not returned from attacking Shangyong County, the other generals
All are here
"Uncle!" Huan Xuan said softly. Seeing that Huan Chong didn't respond, he took a step forward and said cautiously: "Uncle, all the civil and military personnel in Jingjiang are here."
Huan Chong reluctantly opened his eyes, slowly looked around, and whispered: "Lingbao!" His voice was full of the desolation of a hero who was about to fall into despair, and there was no longer the heroic spirit of galloping among thousands of horses in the past.
Huan Xuan hurriedly responded in a low voice: "Uncle!"
Huan Chong raised his arm with difficulty, pointed at the officials in the hall, and said softly: "These are all former officials of your house. When your father was dying, he entrusted you to me. Before you can accomplish anything, I have to go first!"
I hate it, I hate it!"
Huan Xuan's eyes were red, and he burst into tears when facing everyone.
Although everyone else heard that Huan Chong was ill, they didn't expect that they were summoned this time to take care of his funeral!
Although compared to Huan Chong, when his brother Huan Wen was in power, he was more like an emperor in imposing orders and prohibitions, but after all, Huan Chong was also very flexible and caring about his subordinates when he imposed strict requirements, so he had a high prestige. Now everyone
Hearing Huan Chong's behavior, many people couldn't accept it and actually started crying.
Huan Chong felt a lot better when he saw everyone crying, and their expressions were sincere. It seemed that all these years of confiding in them were not in vain! He forced himself to sit up straight, smiled bitterly, and said:
"Everyone! Huan Chong
Bu Cai, I have been with everyone for ten years. Although I have not made any great achievements or made any major mistakes, at least I have preserved our Jingzhou lineage. Now the world is about to be in chaos and the current situation is delicate. It is the time when our Jingzhou faces a test. Unfortunately, God will not
During the holiday, I may have to take the first step.”
"grown ups!"
"Your Majesty!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't bear it anymore and tried to persuade each other. However, Huan Chong was very open-minded. He smiled calmly and waved his hands and said: "Who can avoid death while alive? I have lived for fifty-seven years, which is enough! Everyone, from now on.
Call you
Everyone! And don’t cry! Even though I’m about to die, it’s a good thing that I didn’t die by the enemy’s swords or guns, nor by my own people’s hidden arrows. I was able to die on my bed. Isn’t this a blessing from God?
Am I lucky?"
After hearing this, everyone slowly stopped crying. Only Huan Xuan still kept sobbing.
Huan Chong slowly said to everyone: "I have been loyal to the imperial court all my life. Although I cannot make great contributions to the country, I am worthy of the emperor's spiritual treasure. It is a small treasure entrusted by your old master. I hope you will treat him well! Even though I die, I will have no regrets."
!”
Everyone agreed in a loud voice and swore to be loyal to Huan Xuan to the death. Only then did Huan Chong reveal a smile of relief.
Three days later, Huan Chong died peacefully in his sleep at the age of fifty-seven. He was mourned in Jiangling. Scholars, women, old and young came to see him off by the river, weeping and mourning.
When the news of Huan Chong's death was reported to Jiankang, the whole country was shocked!
Previously, the situation in Jiankang had reached the point of breaking out. Both sides had launched a general mobilization. The opposition forces had almost abandoned all their past prejudices, put aside all issues such as family status, feuds, etc., gathered together, and organized the so-called
The anti-Xie alliance has one and only one purpose, and that is to take advantage of this opportunity to bring down Xie An!
As long as we can win over Xie An and defeat the forces of the Xie faction, I don't know how many seats can be vacated and how much profit can be made. The pie is too big and it is not enough for everyone to share? As for whether it will cause other problems due to uneven distribution of the spoils?
Then no one has time to think about it at the moment.
But at this moment, Huan Chong died. This was of course a huge impact. The death of a prince like Huan Chong would of course shake the country. However, for the two sides who are currently fighting, whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Hard to say
Of course Xie An didn't dare to neglect. When he got the news, he didn't even think about it. He immediately called his daughter Xie Ling. After making some arrangements, he immediately got in the car and headed straight to Tai Chi Hall. The reason is simple. At such an emergency, he must first
Communicate with the emperor, otherwise everything else will be in vain
Jiankang's palace was built hastily after crossing the river. Compared with the palace in Luoyang and Chang'an, it is naturally far less grand and has no emperor's spirit at all. Therefore, many people do not think that Jiankang's court can restore the Central Plains, and there have been rumors that,
Stone City is a place where tigers sit on top of dragons, which is great, but after all, the emperor's pattern is not enough, and it is difficult to unify it if it can be partial.
When Sima Yao ruled today, most of the palaces were destroyed. Xie An ignored all opinions and repaired the palaces. Although it cost a lot of money, it now seems that it has begun to take shape. Sima Yao himself was naturally very happy, but
I don’t know if Xie An is working hard or thinking of it as “filial piety”
Arriving outside the palace city, Xie An got out of the car and entered the palace courtyard through the east carriage door. He entered through the Duan Gate and entered along the Yunlong Gate. In the middle of the palace is the Taiji Hall, which is the most magnificent palace in the Jin Palace.
, is the main hall, left
On the right is the East and West Hall, collectively known as the three main halls, the Taiji Hall, where temple fairs are held. Except for national ceremonies, receptions of foreign envoys, various festivals, banquets, and major military and state affairs, they are not usually used. Only the East and West halls are used for discussion.
running errands
Hanging high in the center of the top of the Tai Chi Hall is a plaque carved with gold lacquer and lacquered with the three characters "Tai Chi Hall". The characters are one meter in diameter and the writing is vigorous and solemn. Every time he sees these three characters, Xie An always sighs, feeling unwilling to do so.
The new Tai Chi Hall was built by Xie An. After it was completed, he wanted Wang Xianzhi, his chief historian at the time, to inscribe the three words "Tai Chi Hall" because in Xie An's view, Jiankang did not deserve this name. Only Chang'an could have it, and only Guan Guan could have it.
Eight hundred miles away from Qinchuan, there can be a palace like Taiji Hall!
Wang Xianzhi, nicknamed Zijing, also nicknamed Guannu, was the seventh and youngest son of Wang Xizhi. He was rarely famous, but he was tall and unruly. He lived idle all day long and never slacked off. He became a top-notch worker and Caoli for a while and was good at painting when he was seven or eight years old.
learn books
However, Wang Xizhi secretly grabbed the pen he was holding from behind him, but it couldn't be moved. Wang Xizhi sighed: "This boy should have a famous name." The great Sima Huanwen asked him to write on the fan, but the pen fell down by mistake because of the painting of a black calf.
, the posture is very wonderful
Of course, a person like Wang Xianzhi cannot stay at home all the time. He must be an official. He started from the state chief clerk, and successively became secretary Lang, secretary Cheng, and later, he married Princess Xin'an and became
Attached to Ma Ke, although he came from a famous family and later became a relative, fortunately Wang Xianzhi was always magnanimous, modest and prudent, and had a strong patriotic enthusiasm, but he was different from his fathers and uncles.
Therefore, although Xie An has almost "respect like ice" with the Wang family, he still likes Wang Xianzhi very much and appoints him as the chief minister of the government. From this, we can see Xie An's magnanimity in appointing talents.
, you must know that Wang Xianzhi is a direct descendant of the Wang family, but Chang Shi is his core staff, and the two sides are in a state of hostility. If Wang Xianzhi has evil intentions towards him, he will have his neck chopped off!
But Xie An just dared. Such heroic spirit convinced Wang Xianzhi that he would obey him to the death.
Wang Xianzhi learned calligraphy from Wang Xizhi when he was young. From an early age, he showed superhuman talent, brilliance and aggressiveness. Wang Xianzhi was not limited by his father. He innovated his own method and became his own style. His calligraphy is admirable. His calligraphy is exquisite in regular script, running script, cursive script and official script.
The body is especially famous for its calligraphy skills, strong strokes, and spicy expression, without any dust or shackles.
After the Tai Chi Hall was completed, Xie An sent him a plaque and asked him to inscribe it as a treasure of calligraphy for all generations. Wang Zijing was very reluctant. He said to the envoy: "Throw it out the door!" Later, Xie An was unwilling to give in. Once
Regarding Wang Xianzhi: "During the Wei Dynasty, the list of Lingyun Hall had not yet been inscribed.
At that time, the craftsman mistakenly nailed it to the pillar and could not take it off, so he asked Wei Dan to hang it up the ladder and inscribe it. After he finished writing, his beard was completely white!" Wang Xianzhi tried to figure out what he meant, and knew that he wanted to inscribe it himself, so he replied:
"This is the reason why the Wei Dynasty's national destiny could not last long." Xie Ansui no longer forced
Xie An slowly walked up the smooth stone steps of Tai Chi Hall. When he entered the hall, civil and military officials had gathered, and several people were talking around them.
After a while, the emperor Sima Yao led several ministers straight into the main hall. The officials hurriedly returned to their seats. Looking up, they saw Sima Yao wearing a crown of heaven, twelve white beads swaying gently, and wearing a crimson gauze robe.
In Zaoyuan's middle coat, with black shoes on his feet, he passed through the crowd,
Climbing up the steps, he sat down behind the carved dragon. Behind him were Wang Ya, who was waiting for the middle school, Xu Miao, who was in the middle school room, and Fan Ning, who stepped back and bowed to one side and knelt down in front of His Majesty Dan. The red-clad civil and military officials
They knelt down one by one and shouted "Long live, long live, long live!"
Sima Yao said softly: "Everyone is safe"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers stood up and knelt down in their respective positions.
Emperor Sima Yao is twenty-three years old. He has been smart since he was a child and has a graceful temperament. He ascended the throne at the age of ten and has been the emperor for thirteen years. He is of medium stature, has a slightly round face, ruddy complexion, and sparse eyebrows.
Xie An held the wat tablet in his hand and his voice was slightly low, and he said: "Your Majesty, the envoy Chijie, the commander-in-chief of Jingjiang, Liang Ningyi, and the military officers of the seven states of Guangzhou, the general of chariots and cavalry, and the governor of Jingzhou, Huan Chong, died on April 20th.
bright"
There was no sound in the main hall. Emperor Xiaowu had already received the report. He was just discussing the matter with his confidant Wang Ya and others. Hearing this, he sighed and said: "Huan Cheqi is diligent in the king's affairs and has many meritorious services. Now,
I feel deeply sorry for you to abandon me! Is there any sign?"
During the Jin dynasty, all governors and governors had seals on their deathbeds to entrust their funeral affairs, and they established relatives so they were filial to Emperor Wu. When Emperor Wu asked this question, Xie An slowly replied: "Youngest son Huan has no seals!"
Emperor Xiaowu lamented: "There is no such virtuous minister in the world who is so loyal to the country!"
Xie An was startled when he heard this, and then Emperor Xiaowu continued: "Jingjiang cannot be left without a master. Who do you think would be better to succeed Huan Chong?"
