Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 176: Building Miraculous Achievements, Being Released (2)
Gao Rou smiled and said, "Master Sima, don't worry. Today Prime Minister Cao is brilliant and powerful, and he is invincible. In a few years, he wiped out Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other rebellious ministers, leaving Jiangnan and Western Shu untouched. Gao Rou believes that as long as Prime Minister Cao is in power, Peace in the world is just around the corner!" Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister Cao's achievements in rebuilding the Han Dynasty and saving the country and the people can really shine through the ages!" Gao Rou listened and nodded in agreement.Sima Yi knew that Gao Rou was promoted by Prime Minister Cao from an ordinary clerk to the post of Lujiang prefect, so he was naturally grateful to him and respected him extremely.Thinking of this, his gaze suddenly became meaningful: "However, I thought that Prime Minister Cao wiped out all the bandits, cleared the Central Plains, conquered the world with great achievements, and was blessed by the common people, but he blindly retreated and defended the festival, so far he is still in the position of the three princes. It doesn't seem to match his merit!" What a smart person Gao Rou is, after hearing Sima Yi's words, he immediately understood: "Yes, Prime Minister Cao's merit is so great, it is really admirable. And! If the imperial court does not increase the rewards, how can it motivate all the officials in the world to be loyal?" Sima Yi smiled slightly, but remained silent.

Watching from the side, Wang Chang felt that Master Sima's language art is really subtle and subtle, and with just a little bit of tweaking, he made other people's thoughts follow the plan in his heart so naturally.

Gao Rou pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Then, Lord Sima, what kind of honor should Gao Rou suggest to the imperial court for Prime Minister Cao?" Now that Cao Cheng is an extremely respected minister, he monopolizes the government, and is extremely honorable. Indeed, there is no higher existing title conferred—this is really hard to say.At this time, Sima Yi picked up some ancient books brought by Gao Rou and flipped through them. Avoiding his question, he suddenly asked Gao Rou: "Actually, the poems written by Prime Minister Cao and his son are very good, and they will definitely become famous in the future. Annals of history. I admire Prime Minister Cao’s poems very much. His poetic charm is deep and majestic, and it has a long aftertaste. Have you read his recent "Duan Ge Xing"? The world returns to its heart.' Throughout the ages, is there any poet who can speak as profoundly and profoundly as he does?"

As soon as these words came out, both Wang Chang and Gao Rou changed their expressions slightly.The implication of Sima Yi's words is very clear that the court can only be worthy of his great achievements if he confers Prime Minister Cao the Duke of Zhou like Zhou Cheng did.However, this is greatly contrary to the laws and etiquette of the Han Dynasty.According to the law and etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, different surnames can only be conferred as marquis, and kings and dukes can only be conferred on the clan.Even a founding hero like Deng Yu can only be made a marquis with four counties.Of course, there were also people who were made dukes in the former Han Dynasty, that is, Wang Mang who once served as the Duke of An Han and later usurped the throne.Sima Yi hinted to him that he wanted to ask the court to make Prime Minister Cao a Duke, which was extremely bold and outrageous.Gao Rou's heart immediately jumped wildly.He felt dry mouth for a while, and hurriedly reached for the teacup, but with a "dang", he accidentally knocked over the cup, and the tea flowed all over the floor.Sima Yi acted as if nothing had happened, just looked at Gao Rou quietly, smiling and saying nothing.Gao Rou tried her best to calm down, stretched out her sleeves and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, her face became a little flushed, she suddenly fell silent, without saying a word.

But Sima Yi said at this time: "I remember that when Taishou Gao was in the barracks, he was an assistant, but he liked to study the art of punishment. One night, Gao Jun was outside the camp and immersed himself in studying "Han Feizi" by the moonlight. I fell asleep with a book. It happened that Prime Minister Cao was inspecting the night camp. He was very moved when he saw you reading this month. Seeing that you were sleepy and couldn’t bear to wake up, he took off his robe and put it on you to protect you from the cold. The next day, you were promoted by the prime minister to be the assassination order history, and you were promoted to three ranks overnight..."

"Lord Sima...the prime minister's great kindness, Gao will never forget it. You don't need to say any more." Gao Rou raised her face, tears streaming down her face, and said with a sob, "I know how I should repay Cao The prime minister is here." Sima Yi's face was as calm as usual, but an imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of his eyes.Gao Rou calmed down slowly, and said slowly: "During the Zhou Dynasty, Duke Zhou and Jiang Shang, although they were also virtuous and virtuous, made great achievements through hard work, but in terms of their achievements, they were far inferior to Prime Minister Cao, but they enjoyed the honor of dukes and the title of Cracking Earth. Gao Rou thought that Prime Minister Cao's great achievements today are not inferior to that of Duke Zhou back then. The imperial court should confer on Prime Minister Cao the Duke of the State, and enjoy the gift of nine tins and the reward of breaking the soil and drawing borders. Gao Rou will return home tonight After writing the memorial, please brother Sima bring back Xu Du and present it to the imperial court." Sima Yi's face was calm, he just nodded slightly and said no more.The two chatted a few more words about the situation between the DPRK and China.During the conversation, Gao Rou was deeply impressed by Sima Yi's foresight, and couldn't help but praise: "Master Sima has great aspirations and talents, is loyal, diligent and intelligent, and will become a great weapon in the future, but I hope that in the future, don't forget to support the lower officials." Sima Yi He smiled and said: "The great trouble for scholars in ancient and modern times is that it is hard to find a wise master with extraordinary talents. You and I are lucky to meet a wise master like Prime Minister Cao, so why worry about not being able to stand out? Congratulations on your promotion and return." Gao Rou was overjoyed when she heard that, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you."

What Gao Taishou said just now was a joke to flatter his superiors, but Wang Chang really thought so of Sima Yi. Although the eight-character commentary of "great ambition, broad talents, loyalty, diligence and wisdom" is good, how can it fully express Lord Sima's strengths?He has been following Master Sima for more than two years, and he admires Master Sima for his resourcefulness, discernment, determination, restraint, and adaptability.He has always firmly believed that one day Lord Sima will definitely become a virtuous minister who is famous all over the world.Yes, although the current imperial court is full of talents and each has unique skills, but in his opinion, among all the princes, the one with the most potential is none other than Lord Sima.Zhu Jianping, a famous scholar in the Pei Kingdom, has always been good at divination and physiognomy. Many important officials in the court like to invite him to watch his physiognomy.Zhu Jianping and Sima Yi have a good personal relationship, but they have never dared to look at his palm.Once as a guest in Sima's mansion, Zhu Jianping opened Sima Yi's left palm and took a closer look when there was no one else around.After reading it, he only sighed, and said mysteriously, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."Sima Yi withdrew his palm, and said with a faint smile, "It's a secret, so don't let it out. Wealth and fame are like floating clouds to me. I don't want to ask more questions." I don’t intend to seek wealth and honor, but I’m afraid it’s the fate of heaven, and there will be riches and great honors to force you!” Sima Yi sighed leisurely: “You’re right. When I was in my twenties in my hometown of Hanoi County, I only I wanted to be a hermit and guard my thatched hut all my life. But I didn’t expect Prime Minister Cao to think highly of me, and forced me into the mansion again and again, alas..." His expression suddenly became a little desolate, as if he didn’t want to go back to the past, Lian Chong Bringing up old stories has also become a pain.Zhu Jianping smiled slightly and said: "How can you know that you are not a blessing if you lose your horse?" Brother Sima, have you not even understood this sentence? You will definitely not be able to become a hermit in your life, but today the world is dying because of you. There is one more outstanding person—this is your destined choice!" Sima Yi slowly regained his composure, and did not answer him, but cleverly changed the subject.Wang Chang could hear clearly when he was present, and his heart was shocked as if he heard thunder.From then on, Sima Yi became more and more divine in his heart.In his opinion, Sima Yi's every move embodies the extraordinary wisdom and strategy.

The next day, Gao Rou wrote the memorial to the Duke of Jin, the Prime Minister of Cao, and handed it to Sima Yi, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty Sima personally forwarded it to the Prime Minister. Gao Rou is very grateful." Sima Yi lightly accepted the memorial. Patted the back of his hand lightly, but said nothing.The two knew each other and smiled at each other.Then, Sima Yi took Wang Chang on the road again.

Along the way, when Sima Yi revealed Gao Rou's memorial, the prefects of the various counties along the way immediately understood the purpose of his visit, drafted drafts one after another, and unanimously suggested that the court should reward Prime Minister Cao for his great achievements.Wang Chang followed Sima Yi all the way to watch coldly, and gradually understood a little bit.Prime Minister Cao is now of great merit, and all the counties in the world have also jointly promoted him, which shows that Prime Minister Cao is really a great sage who "follows the sky and responds to people". Maybe at that time, the number one hero of the Han Dynasty Zhongxing will be none other than him.Well, Master Sima's microservice inspection of various states and counties this time seems to be paving the way for public opinion propaganda for Prime Minister Cao's rise.His skill is really clever, it fits the will of Prime Minister Cao, and wins the favor of the prefects of various counties, it is really extremely beautiful.However, his move is also very risky. If someone reads his book and accuses him of contacting the prefects of various counties without authorization for "going against the public and private interests", I am afraid that even Prime Minister Cao may not be able to protect him.However, Sima Yi is Sima Yi, with extraordinary strategy and courage, otherwise he is not enough to be called a generation of outstanding people.

won the hearts of the people

After another Nanyang County, Sima Yi and Wang Chang will return to Xudu. This Nanyang County has always been a "place of granaries" for supplying food and materials to the imperial court, and Zhu Hu, the prefect of Nanyang, is the book "A Generation of Capable Officials" written by Prime Minister Cao. As a virtuous minister, Prime Minister Cao personally confessed to investigate him before leaving, all of which made Sima Yi dare not take it lightly.He sat in the carriage, but he was preoccupied and kept silent.Wang Chang also noticed the change in Lord Sima's expression, but for some reason, he didn't want to think about it, but he was looking forward to witnessing the demeanor of Lord Zhu Hu, and thought: This is great, and I can personally ask an official again. The role model in politics asked for advice on economics.

Sima Yi went to the prefect's mansion and met the prefect Zhu Hu.Wang Chang saw that Zhu Hu's face was round and chubby, but his brows were erect like knives, with a bit of evil spirit, which made people feel uneasy.I finally met this "generation capable official", but for some reason, he couldn't appreciate it.

Sima Yi checked the political affairs of Nanyang County as usual, and then he wanted to leave.Zhu Hu said: "Lord Sima, how about I come to see you off?" Sima Yi smiled and said, "This is exactly what I mean. This Nanyang is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and outstanding people. I am in the imperial court, and I have always wanted to visit it. A little bit. Since Master Zhu has the heart to give me a ride, why don't the two of us walk around in the car and visit in modest clothes, and see how the rural scenery is?" Zhu Hu quickly nodded in agreement.Seeing that Sima Yi agreed, he seemed very happy, with a smile on his face, which made people feel amiable.But Wang Chang had doubts in his heart, Master Sima was too close and kind to Zhu Hu, which made him feel a little abnormal.But before he had time to think about it, Sima Yi was already ordering him to assist the guards in the prefect's mansion to arrange visits.

In the evening, after Sima Yi and Wang Chang had dinner in the prefect's mansion, they walked out of the mansion with Zhu Hu, walked out of the city gate, and came to a field.Several carriages followed closely so that they could be called upon at any time.
