Presently the Latter Ruler rose and left the table to change dress。

Xi Zheng went over to him and said; 〃Why did Your Majesty not say you missed Shu? If Your Majesty are questioned again; weep and say that in Shu are the tombs of your forefathers and no day passes that Your Majesty do not grieve to be so far away。 The Duke of Jin may let Your Majesty return。〃

The Latter Ruler promised he would。

When the wine had gone round several more times; Sima Zhao put the same question a second time: 〃Do you never think of Shu?〃

The Latter Ruler replied as he had been told。 He also tried to weep; but failed to shed a tear。 So he shut his eyes。

〃Is not that just what Xi Zheng told you to say?〃 asked Sima Zhao。

〃It is just as you say;〃 was the reply。

They all laughed。 But really Sima Zhao was pleased with the frank answer and felt that nothing was to be feared from him。

Laughter loving; pleasure pursuing;

Rippling smiles over a merry face;

Never a thought of his former glory

In his callous heart finds place。

Childish joy in a change of dwelling;

That he feels and that alone;

Manifest now that he was never

Worthy to sit on his fathers throne。

The courtiers thought that so grand an exploit as the conquest of the River Lands was worthy of high honor; so they memorialized the Ruler of Wei; Cao Huang; to confer the rank Prince of Jin on Sima Zhao。 At that time; Cao Huang ruled in name only; for he had no authority。 The whole land was under Sima Zhao; whose will the Emperor himself dared not cross。 And so; in due course; the Duke of Jin became Prince of Jin。

After being made Prince of Jin; Sima Zhao posthumously created his father; Sima Yi; the Original Prince and his late elder brother; Sima Shi; the Wonderful Prince。

The wife of Sima Zhao was the daughter of Wang Su。 She bore to him two sons; the elder of whom was named Sima Yan。 Sima Yan was huge of frame; his flowing hair reached to the ground when he stood up; and both hands hung down below his knees。 He was clever; brave; and skilled in the use of arms。

The second son; Sima You; was mild of disposition; a filial son and a dutiful brother。 His father loved him dearly。 As Sima Shi had died without leaving sons; this youth; Sima You; was regarded as his son; to continue that line of the family。

Sima Zhao used to say: 〃The empire was really my brothers。〃

Being a prince; it was necessary for Sima Zhao to choose his heir; and he wished to name his younger son Sima You。 But Shan Tao remonstrated。

〃It is improper and infelicitous to prefer the younger;〃 said Shan Tao。

And Jia Chong; He Zeng; and Pei Xiu followed in the same strain。

〃The elder is clever; able in war; one of the most talented people in the state and popular。 With such natural advantages he has a great destiny: He was not born to serve。〃

Sima Zhao hesitated; for he was s
