Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 187 The Controversy of Prince Wei (2)
Before she finished speaking, Sima Yi's face was already stiff and stern.In fact, he also heard from his father in the early years: Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, also worshiped Cao Teng, the great eunuch of the same county and clan, as his foster father, and then he became a Taiwei.But the Cao family is so flattering and eunuch, but I have never heard that Cao Song put any of Cao Cao's brothers into the palace as "insiders"-it seems that the Yuan family in Runan is better than the Cao family in Peijun shameless thing.

There was a sudden silence in the study room, so quiet that only the soft rustle of Sima Yi's clothes trembling due to his agitated mood could be heard!
After a long time, he calmed down, regained his composure, raised his head and looked at Zhang Chunhua squarely: "Chunhua, you tell these anecdotes, it seems that there is something in your words! Sacrifice one of the parents and children to protect the family's integrity. Prosperous and prosperous, although the methods of the Yuan family in Runan are disgusting, they are very effective. However, in the current battle of the Wei Palace, it seems that my Sima family does not need to take that step like them. Bar?"

Zhang Chunhua didn't avoid the sharp gaze he was looking straight at him, and said quietly, "husband, do you know what Shu Da (Sima Fu's name Shu Da) is up to lately? As far as I know, Shu Da is now It seems that he is already a regular visitor of the third son Cao Zhi's house. In the past month, Cao Zhi has had more meetings and gatherings with him than you, the second brother."

"Shu Da? You mean to use Shu Da to be my Sima family's spy on Cao Zhi?" Sima Yi realized it immediately, but shook his head immediately, "No! No! The third brother's character is not clear about his husband? He is so Candid and frank, where is the material for deep plots and intrigues? When my father was alive, we didn't let the third brother participate in this grand plan of "emerging suddenly, attacking later, turning the world around". Now we rashly pull I'm afraid it's not right for him to come in..."

"Husband—it is the safest and most prudent way for him to be intimate with Cao Zhi from the very beginning! It's okay to keep our Sima family's big plan from him for the time being!" Zhang Chunhua said, "As long as he has a relationship with Cao Zhi Always keep it by Cao Zhi's side, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, it will definitely come in handy."

"But... But if your husband wants to use Shu Da in the future, how can he say those things that make him cheat?" Sima Yi looked at Zhang Chunhua, the "brain trust" of the female middle school, with a hesitant expression.In fact, he has always been caring and caring towards his own younger brother - he also doesn't want to destroy his image of an upright older brother in front of Sima Fu.

"This is easy." Zhang Chunhua said while contemplating, "Although Shu Da is straightforward, he has always had a strong sense of family and family. At that time, husband, you can use it to protect the long-term interests of our century-old Sima family. Reasons to convince him, impress him..."

After hearing this, Sima Yi lowered his head and thought for a long while without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Chunhua didn't say much anymore, he tidied up the porridge bowls and silver spoons, and got up and retreated like a civet cat.

As soon as she walked to the door frame, Sima Yi spoke behind her back: "The maidservant who told you the anecdote about the Yuan family in Runan cannot be retained—a slaveservant who talks nonsense about her lord's rights and wrongs in front of others must not be retained! "

"Okay. The concubine will send her out of the house tomorrow." Zhang Chunhua didn't look back, and walked away after answering.

After she went out, Sima Yi sighed deeply, looked up at the high roof of the study, gritted his teeth secretly, coughed lightly, called Sima Yin, the personal servant who was guarding the door, and said, "Go Call the third master and say that I have something important to discuss."

Not long after, his third younger brother Sima Fu was summoned.Sima Yin sent him into the study, then retreated very consciously, closing the door behind him.Indoors, only his two brothers were left.

Sima Yi raised his head from the desk, looked at the third brother quietly, without saying a word.Sima Fu was recently promoted to the Xicao subordinate of the prime minister's mansion, in charge of the financial expenditure affairs of the prime minister's mansion, and he can be regarded as one of the real power figures in the mansion.However, he never showed a hint of arrogance and complacency on his face. He still maintained a modest and gentlemanly demeanor in the public, and he would discuss and solve problems with his colleagues without any self-professional behavior.This series of performances made Sima Yi very satisfied with his third brother.Dealing in the officialdom is to learn to self-regulate the emotions in your heart.Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, don't lose color when angry, and don't change your face when you are happy, this is the cultivation that a famous person in a family should have.

Seeing his second brother's serious face, Sima Fu didn't dare to say anything, but just stood there in awe, waiting silently for him to speak.After a long time, Sima Yi stood up, walked slowly to the door, and said to Sima Yin who was guarding outside through the door: "You go to the front door and guard, and no one comes in to disturb you without my order." Sima Yin agreed. With a sound, only the sound of footsteps can be heard, and he rushed to the front door.

Sima Yi heard the sound of his footsteps walking away, so he turned around, pacing with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to Sima Fu's side, but he still didn't speak, just let out a long and long sigh.Sima Fu heard the second brother's sigh, which seemed to be infinitely desolate. For some reason, his heart felt sore, and he couldn't help asking: "Second brother is fine on weekdays, why is he sighing tonight? Could there be something in his heart? Unpleasant matter? Tell me about it for the younger brother to listen to, so that I can resolve it for the second brother." Sima Yi sat back in front of the book case, remained silent, and after a long while, said slowly: "Third brother, do you think our Sima family has been in trouble recently? How is the situation? Don't be restrained, and speak your mind."

Sima Fu didn't know why his second brother asked such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it.The Sima family has been passed down for thirteen generations since its distant ancestor made great contributions in the time of King Xuan of Zhou in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and was named a powerful family.Sima Fu's great-grandfather, Sima Jun, served as the general of Han Zhengxi.In the eyes of outsiders, the Sima family really produced a large number of talented people and flourished from generation to generation, which is amazing and enviable.But Sima Fu also knows that in this world of war and strife, the heroes of the world are springing up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the phenomenon of "becoming a farmer in the morning and going to the Tianzitang in the evening" is also emerging endlessly. .The glory of the Sima family will inevitably be challenged by these poor elites, and the prospects are not very optimistic.At present, fortunately, the second brother and I are strongly supporting them. Although the interests of the family will not decline, it is inevitable that they will feel powerless if they want to realize the Sima family's "improvement".When he thought about it carefully, he felt heavy and hesitated to answer.

Sima Yi saw that his words aroused the family's sense of urgency that had been dormant in the third brother's heart for a long time, so he said: "In the eyes of outsiders, my Sima family has a great reputation, and you are in the position of the Xi Cao family in the prime minister's mansion. The position of the head of the prime minister's mansion seems to have become a big celebrity around the prime minister. If you want the wind, you can get the rain. But you and I both know that since the death of the elder brother, except for Xun You, Cui Yan, and Mao Jie in the court Besides taking care of us all the time, it is not an exaggeration to describe our Sima family with the words 'the world is hot and cold, and the door is empty'...Third brother, no matter how you say it, you can't let the Sima family in Hanoi, a century-old family, be with you and me You've lost your hands!" Before he could finish speaking, Sima Yi couldn't help tears welling up in his eyes, his voice was choked up, and he could hardly continue.The eldest brother Sima Yi mentioned was Sima Lang, who was the head of Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion and the governor of Yanzhou before his death.After he died of a sudden plague, Prime Minister Cao was deeply saddened as if he had lost his arm.At that time, when Prime Minister Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu, he relied entirely on Sima Lang, who was his capable general, to take care of the government and the opposition, coordinate all aspects of the relationship, and at the same time rectify the rules and regulations, eliminate the officials, and serve Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty. Authority has been established among civil and military officials.It was Sima Lang's uprightness, determination, loyalty, diligence and wisdom that won him the honor of being almost as famous as Shang Shuling Xun Yu, which is admirable.The prosperity and revitalization of the Sima family in recent years is also closely related to his painstaking management.All the friends he made during his lifetime were in high positions and extremely prominent.Xun You is currently the Right Army Adviser of the Cao Mansion, and Cao Cao has great trust in him and relies on him as his confidant; Cui Yan is currently the Minister of Duzhi, in charge of the power of wealth and endowment in the country; right.Sima Yi has always regarded them as elder brothers and has a very close relationship with them.And these people were also very grateful for the friendship with Sima Lang back then, so they still took good care of the Sima family, which basically maintained the prosperity of the Sima family as before.

At this moment, when Sima Fu saw his second brother crying emotionally, he felt sour for some reason.He resisted the urge to cry, slowly raised his head, and stared at the second brother in front of him seriously.The complexity and hardships of the world made Sima Yi, who has always been heroic and vigorous, look a little haggard.He knew that the second elder brother managed everything so painstakingly to promote the prosperity of the Sima family today and continue forever.Thinking of this, he felt even more sad, and sighed helplessly: "Second Brother! What can I...what can I do for you? Tell me, as long as I can do what I can, I will go through fire and water."

It was his words that Sima Yi was waiting for.He wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, and after a moment of silence, he finally said slowly, "Prime Minister Cao has now been promoted to the Duke of Wei, so the matter of establishing an heir behind him will soon surface...you understand Is it?" Sima Fu was a little puzzled by these words, but looked at his second brother with half understanding but didn't answer.Sima Yi also felt that what he said was a bit abrupt, but it was inconvenient to point it out for a while, so he said: "Although the third brother is currently serving as the Xi Cao subordinate of the prime minister's mansion, from my brother's point of view, the third brother still lacks some experience. In order to make the third brother Your talents and learning have been honed in an all-round way, and I want to recommend you to Mao Jie Pushe to be his concubine next to Pingyuan Hou Cao Zhi. You are of the same age and both like writing and fu, and you will definitely benefit each other. And, brother I heard Marquis Pingyuan has always had a close relationship with his third younger brother, so he will not be unhappy if you become his bastard, right?"

When Sima Fu heard this, he was a little surprised. The concubine in the Marquis Pingyuan's mansion was just equivalent to the assistant prime minister around Cao Zhi.He descended from the Xicao family in the prime minister's mansion to a middle-class bastard in the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion, which is several levels lower!But Sima Fu and Cao Zhi had always had a good personal relationship, and they got along very well with him, and it was a joy to work by his side.So, Sima Fu didn't have time to think about it, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll let my second brother arrange this matter."
