【Introduction】
◇ The content of the previous section is reviewed: Shi Le and Shi Hu killed their clan members when they were destroyed before Zhao. The only surviving Princess Anding later became Shi Hu's concubine. Zhang Jackal, the official who saved her life, now encountered difficulties himself and came to her for help.
◆ Introduction to the content of this section: Shi Hu's adopted son Shi Zhan was killed in the Battle of Gaohou, and his young son Shi Min was raised by Shi Hu and was given the title of Marquis of Xiucheng. On the day of Shi Zhan's death, Sikong Li Nong, Jin Ziguanglu's doctor Lu Ming, and The Attendant Wei Wei invited them to the Xiucheng Marquis Mansion, and Shi Min was quite surprised by this.
★ The story takes place in August 344 AD. Location: Yecheng, Shi Hu's grandson Xiucheng Marquis Shi Min's mansion.
Today is a special day for Hou Shimin, the adopted grandson of Tianwang Shihu—sixteen years ago today, his father Shi Zhan was killed in battle with Former Zhao's Gaohou. On this day every year, he pays homage to his father at home. To this end, yesterday we hurried back to Yecheng from outside.
I don't know what kind of considerations, after the establishment of the family, the adopted grandson of the Heavenly King moved out of the Palace of Yi and set up another mansion outside. However, because Shi Hu arranged for him to stay in the palace, he still had an apartment in the palace.
Since yesterday, Shi Min has used vegetarian food. Early this morning, he first went to bathe, and then he personally offered the prepared sacrifices to the spiritual seats of his grandfather and father, and knelt on the futon. His wife Dong Shi and her son Shi Zhi knelt behind him.
After the worship, he went to the study alone, but instead of reading a book, he sat in front of the case and meditated. When his father's body was brought back, he was covered in wounds and blurred flesh and blood, and the scene was like a knife carving, deeply burned in his memory. Therefore, on the day of his father's death, he became worried and depressed.
Not long after, two eunuchs came to the palace, and they sent sacrifices on the orders of Concubine Liu. Therefore, Shi Min accompanied them to the spiritual seat of their father and ancestor to worship. Concubine Liu not only remembered the day of Shi Min's father's death, but also sent people to pay tribute to this day every year.
After the memorial service, the two eunuchs exchanged a few words of greeting with Shi Min, took the gifts he had prepared, and left happily.
Shi Hu raised his grandson and cultivated Hou Shi Min
Remembering the day of Shi Zhan's death, there was also Hou Zhao's servant Wei Wei. However, he did not perform the ritual like Concubine Liu, and only chose this day every year to sit in the Hou Mansion and accompany Shi Min to talk.
Wei Jian was born in the Jingzhao Wei clan of the family clan, and his experience was also very bumpy: he first entered the former Zhao dynasty and served as Huang Menlang, and he was at Liu Yao's side during the Battle of Gao Hou, so he knew about Shi Zhan's death. Former Zhao perished, he transferred to Later Zhao, initially serving as a regular attendant of the Scattered Horse, and then successively serving as the Taishou of the Seven Counties, all of whom were known as Qinghua in their tenure, and were promoted to court lieutenants, and now serve as a waiter.
To Shi Min's surprise, Wei Jian actually invited Sikong Li Nong and Jin Ziguanglu's doctor Lu Ming, two important courtiers this year. He did not dare to be sloppy, personally poured tea and placed fruits, and was busy for a while before sitting down and laughing: "The three adults came to visit, which made Shi Min Peng shine!" ”
"Yes, yes." Wei Wei said.
"Adults please drink tea." Shi Min said with a smile again.
The four people in the seat, except For Lu Ming, were all Han Chinese. In terms of temperament, Wei Xiao and Lu Ming were both direct subjects, and in recent years, there have been many exhortations to the Heavenly King, and although Shi Hu is difficult to adopt them, he can also tolerate them. Sikong Li Nong, who was in a high position of the Three Princes, was a cautious and cautious person, and he had always been a promise in front of the Heavenly King.
A few people of different races and different temperaments get together and say what is appropriate? Shi Min felt that this Wei Wei was acting a little unthinkingly, and there was no need to bring such a lively time when he needed to calm down and remember his ancestors. He secretly reminded himself that he should pay attention when he spoke.

"Marquis Xiucheng, Your Majesty has been going out hunting frequently recently, do you know anything about this?" Wei Wei did not understand Shi Min's thoughts at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he involved sensitive matters.
"I just came back and didn't know anything." Shi Min made a perfunctory remark.
Shi Hu hunted indiscriminately, and sometimes even returned home in the morning and at night, and traveled in micro-clothes, and Wei Jian had advised him on this. Although Shi Hu rewarded him, he couldn't change it.
"Your Majesty felt a little sick a few days ago, but now it's a good thing." Li Nong euphemistically defended Shi Hu, obviously trying to divert this topic.
"Such a sudden weight of the world, between the sword and the axe, if you encounter a madman' change, how should you deal with it?" In recent years, the imperial court has been enlisted for a long time, and the people have been deposed, and the voice of the voice of the voice is in the way, which is not the work of the prince of benevolence and holiness! Wei Wei was getting more and more real.
If this servant is allowed to continue to speak, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of discussing the government and politics. It's in your own home! Shi Min decided not to be polite anymore and took the initiative to change the subject: "Li Sikong, I heard that Jiangzuo's Jingzhou Assassin Shi Yuyi moved the prefecture from Wuchang to Xiangyang. "When a military general talks about soldiers, he will not make a mistake."
"There is such a thing! I just learned about it. Compared with his elder brother Yu Liang, this little Yu Liang had some rules and more means to act. After Wang Dao's death, the Lang evil Wang clan inevitably went downhill. Previously, the Yu clan had taken Jiangzhou from the Wang clan, and the military of yu bingdu over the seven prefectures of Jing, Jiang, and the four counties of Yuzhou, led the history of Jiangzhou and left the town of Wuchang. With the elder brother as a backup, this little Yu will have no fear. This move can now strengthen the power of the Yu clan in the upper reaches of the river, and in the future, it can enter Tuguanzhong and Heluo, which can be described as a lot of things! Li Nong replied. Yu Yi is Yu Bing's younger brother, known as Xiao Yu.
The power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fell by the wayside, and after the "king and horse shared the world", there was a foreign relative Yu clan dictatorship
"It's just that Huan Xuan!" This man took Xiangyang from my hands and has been guarding the town for ten years. Last year, the Yu brothers asked him to oversee Liang Prefecture, but last month he was defeated by Li Yi, and I heard that he had been demoted to the rank of general of Jianwei. It's just that thinking well may not be able to do well. If he dares to act rashly, then let him also appreciate the power of Li Sikong's iron horse! Shi Min interjected with a smile.
It can be seen that he knows no less than Li Nong. That year, he followed Li Nong in the battle against Jianghan and won a great victory, and Li Nong's generals left a deep impression on him.
"Soldiers are in danger. It is inevitable that when people are competing for power, it is inevitable that they will advocate force; but once the king comes to the world, he should not speak lightly of war. His Majesty now always wants to attack on all sides and go hand in hand, and hates that he can't take all of Kyushu in a flash. At present, the imperial court built the second palace of Luoyang and Chang'an, and the states were prepared for conquest, serving as many as one million people. Such repeated military revolutions and heavy labor are not the blessings of the country. Although this year, although we adopted the move of the group to strike down jin, we killed Wang Bo in vain, which is really deplorable! Dr. Lu Ming, the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, sighed and said.
This veteran of the "Eight Horsemen" who was born and experienced hundreds of battles is now talking about military affairs for a reason.
In the eighth year of Shi Hu's founding, Qingzhou officials wrote to declare that a statue of a stone tiger in the north of the city of Pingling in Jinan (in the area of present-day Zhangqiu District, Jinan, Shandong) was suddenly moved to the southeast of the city at night, followed by more than a thousand wolves and foxes. After Shi Hu heard this, Long Yan Da Yue said, "Isn't that Shi Hu just a decay?" Moving from the northwest to the southeast, isn't this the same as the pingjiang river? This is Providence! Hurry up and order the soldiers of the states to assemble, and the general will personally command the Sixth Division to obey the mandate of heaven! ”
A statue of a stone tiger almost became a fuse for the Civil War
Immediately, civil and military officials followed suit, and one hundred and seven people went to the "Ode to The Emperor's Virtue". Shi Hu immediately issued an edict: "Five conscripts go out of a car, two cows, fifteen rice, ten silk horses, and those who do not do it are beheaded." "In order to make up for military supplies, the people sold their children and daughters, and many people committed suicide. After more than a year of preparation, Hou Zhao expanded his army to one million.
In the first month of this year, Shi Hu was feasting on the courtiers at the Taiwu Hall, and hundreds of white geese suddenly flew on the horse road outside the palace. Shi Hu ordered the Dragon Guard to shoot an arrow, and no one was hit. Afterwards, Taishi ordered Zhao Lan to quietly speak up, saying that this was an ominous omen and suggesting that the move to cut down the Jin Dynasty be cancelled. Shi Hu believed this, and after holding a grand military parade, he announced that the flag would be extinguished.
Although this move regards the major affairs of the military state as a child's play, it is a good thing to stop the war after all. However, next, this Taishi Ling did something that hurt heaven and nature, causing the Zhongshu Supervisor Wang Bo to suffer a catastrophe.
At that time, the crown prince Shi Xuan used tens of thousands of soldiers in the middle of winter to cut down trees for construction, and the leading general Wang Lang asked Shi Hu to stop it. Shi Xuan harbored a grudge in his heart, so he ordered Zhao Lan to fabricate a celestial phenomenon, claiming that he needed to kill a nobleman surnamed Wang in order to eliminate the natural disaster. Shi Hu believed it again and asked Zhao Lan to propose a candidate. Zhao Lan pushed Wang Lang out of the way. Who knew that Shi Hu cherished Wang Lang and asked for another person. Zhao Lan had to change people temporarily, saying that Wang Bo could also be counted as one. Shi Hu liquidated the old accounts of Jianwu's six-year tribute to the "Yuya Shi Ping" and ordered wang Bo and his four sons to be beheaded and thrown into the water.
Lu Ming's remarks were simply slandering the government. Shi Min secretly cried bitterly in his heart, but this person was the founding father of the country and the national family of Later Zhao, and he was not good at disrespectful, so he took the opportunity to give the guests the opportunity to refill the water and glanced at Li Nong for help.
Shi Min
Li Nong first drank the water, and then relieved Shi Min: "Your Majesty knows Wang Zhongshu's grievances, and he is remorseful, and intends to posthumously give him the title of Sikong and his grandson as Hou." ”
Lu Ming was even more indignant, choking: "People are dead, this top fart is used!" ”
"Pu Hong, this person, can be regarded as a capable ruler of the world." Wei Wei suddenly burst out a sentence.
Shi Min was anxious to change the subject, and quickly asked with great interest: "Why did Lord Wei feel this way?" ”
"Didn't Your Majesty ask me to inspect the waters of the Great River?" I stopped by fangtou. Now there is a prosperous scene of Wufu Min'an! Wei Wei replied.
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, he was about to take over the conversation, Li Nong had already opened his mouth first: "Two Lords, there is something going on in the Xiucheng Marquis Mansion today, should we say goodbye?" ”
Shi Min had always been very attentive to the Qiang and Qiang tribes that had moved eastward, and felt that Wei Wei had seen this very accurately, and he wanted to ask for details, and saw that Sikong Li Nong intended to suspend today's conversation, so he had to give up.
Sending away the three distinguished guests, Shi Min fell into contemplation again. He suddenly had an association: I have nothing to do with Li Nong, why did he visit today? Could it be related to my trip to the White City?
