Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 194 The Controversy of Prince Wei (9)
Seeing his third brother's evasive eyes and extremely unnatural expression, Sima Yi secretly laughed.Third brother, third brother, you are used to being honest, how can you hide what's on your mind?He remained calm, with his hands behind his back, approached slowly step by step, and slowly asked: "Third brother, why did you come back home so late tonight? And why are you troubled here?"

Sima Fu felt like his heart was beating very hard as if he had done something wrong, and he said hesitantly: "There are too many chores in Pingyuanhou's mansion, so I didn't come back until so late tonight. I... I came to this yard just In order to get some air, the second elder brother, Lao Lao, is nagging..." Sima Yi raised his eyes, and the two gazes suddenly pierced like sharp swords, forcing Sima Fu to hang his head and dare not look directly at him: "The third brother is probably going to Ding's house at night. Tan just came back so late, or is it because of Pingyuanhou's affairs that you are troubled here?"

"Second...Second Brother..." Sima Fu stuttered suddenly, "I...I didn't go to the Ding Mansion..." Sima Yi just looked at him quietly, waved his hands with a half-smile, pondered for a moment, Suddenly he asked again: "I want to ask my third brother a question, please answer truthfully. If my lord father has not passed away yet, who will he choose between you and me as heir?"

Sima Fu didn't expect the second brother to ask such a question, so before he had time to think about it, he replied humbly: "Of course it is the second brother!" Sima Yi still looked at him with a half-smile: "But I remember that my father always I really appreciate the talent of the third brother, and I have repeatedly praised your Confucianism foundation in front of outsiders. I think, when the father is alive, he should hope to make you his heir, right?"

"No...no...how is this possible? The meaning of "Spring and Autumn" is to establish the elders but not the young...this is an eternal principle..." Sima Fu shook his head again and again, "Why did the second brother make such a joke? Besides, I No matter how high the level of Confucianism is, he can't manage the family as well as the second brother, let alone honor the Sima family! Moreover, the family is not so easy to manage, but the second brother is responsible for it. We have suffered so much..."

When Sima Yi heard what Sima Fu said, he was so emotional later, tears welled up in his eyes, he couldn't help feeling warm, he waved his hand gently to stop him, and said slowly: "The third brother is right! Whoever manages the family is the one who owns the family." I am going out to endure hardships for my brothers. I believe that as long as our Sima family brothers are sincerely united and united, we will never be knocked down by any difficulties!" At this point, he paused, and then said meaningfully , "Then, let us look back at the dispute over Duke Wei's heirship. Why is it not the case? Pingyuanhou is indeed more talented than the general of the five senses, but is he really more suitable for the position of the son of the prince than the general of the five senses?" ? Third brother, can you convince yourself?"

Indeed, Sima Fu really couldn't convince himself on this issue. In any case, the second brother's words had the greatest advantage in traditional etiquette.Moreover, even he himself agrees with these words in the depths of his heart.It was as if he had been picked up by his second brother to an answer that was as dazzling as the sun, and he was so scorched that he dared not look up.

Seeing this, Sima Yi smiled slightly. He knew that he had completely shattered the pillar that the third brother relied on to support Cao Zhi in terms of legal principles.But now, it is time to shatter the third brother's last hesitation on this issue with hard facts.He said in a deep voice: "If the water is not excited, the oil will not burn; if the fire does not burn, the forest will not be destroyed. Brother Ding Yi is an outsider, but he is involved in the struggle for the succession of the prime minister's heir, causing swords, swords and blood. Splashing five feet! Did you know that I was traveling with the five-featured general and other people this morning, and was plotted by an assassin on the way?"

"What? The second brother and the general of five senses were assassinated by an assassin this morning?" Sima Fu suddenly turned pale with shock, "Where is the assassin from?"

"The assassin missed a single hit and was killed by the guards on the spot. His origins were not found out." Sima Yi looked deeply into Sima Fu's eyes, "But I think the third brother should be able to guess who sent him. here."

"I... how could I guess..." Sima Fu suddenly lost his words.He instantly recalled Ding Yi's cold expression and tone when he talked about Cui Yan Shangshu's opposition to Pingyuan Hou Lisi in the secret room, "Zhilan is in the way, so I have to hoe", and he couldn't help being shocked.He suddenly said: "This...this...could it be..."

Sima Yi acted as if he had never seen his expression or heard his words, stretched out his hand and slowly untied his robe, only to see a long bandage wrapped around his waist and back, which was stained red by the oozing blood .Under Sima Fu's horrified gaze, he slowly said: "When the assassin swung his knife at the general with five senses, I rushed forward and pushed the general with five senses away in time. His knife hit me on the back, It was more than a foot long, and there was blood profusely on the spot... I almost thought I would never see my third brother again today..."

After all, Sima Yi slowly put on his robe again, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that Marquis Pingyuan himself will not bear to accept the crown of the son with his blood-stained hands?"

"No...it's not like this..." Sima Fu cried out in tears, "Ding Yi and the others did it...they...they are going to attack Master Cui Yan!"

"What?" Sima Yi was startled, "Lord Cui is a family friend! Why did Ding Yi attack him? Tell me everything you know!"

Sima Fu wept and stammered and told Sima Yi all the conversations he had with Brother Ding Yi and Yang Xiu in the secret room of Ding's mansion.

After hearing this, Sima Yi didn't say a word, just stood in the courtyard and pondered for a long time.Finally, he reached out and patted Sima Fu on the shoulder, gently supported him, and said slowly: "You are right to tell the second brother all this. You are helping Pingyuanhou and Wuguan Zhonglang to get rid of each other. On the tragic path of fratricide. You've done well, well..."

Anyone needs to use a reason that can at least convince themselves to "last" for their words and deeds, so as to escape regret and self-blame in the future.After all, objectively speaking, Sima Fu really betrayed, and it can even be said that he betrayed Brother Ding Yi, Yang Xiu, and maybe Cao Zhi.So, Sima Yi subtly gave him this reason by comforting Sima Fu.As long as Sima Fu feels that he is really doing this to eliminate a tragedy of fratricide, he will gain moral self-forgiveness, and he will be able to realize that even though he is on the side of Brother Ding Yi and Yang Xiu, his heart is falling apart. to his side.Thinking of this, Sima Yi laughed silently in his heart.The third brother is so naive and simple!How could he know that the assassination of his second brother Sima Yi and the five-featured Zhonglang this morning was completely a wonderful show written and performed by Sima Yi himself!The assassin was disguised as a dead soldier sent by Sima Yi.This assassination, on the one hand, will arouse stronger suspicion between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and on the other hand, Sima Yi will gain Cao Pi's deeper trust by sacrificing his life to protect the Lord.Moreover, tonight, Sima Yi used this incident to persuade Sima Fu to tell him all the plots of Brother Ding Yi and Yang Xiu.This dangerous move is really "killing three birds with one stone", and it has yielded fruitful results.Sima Yi laughed very heartily in his heart, he suddenly felt that he was almost a genius who played tricks to an unprecedented level, maybe Zhang Liang and Chen Ping back then were not as good as him?As for myself, using such a powerful mentality to create the future, what career can't be done?

Jia Xu
Although Jia Xu claimed that he could not afford to be sick and refused customers behind closed doors, Sima Yi's request to see him again made him unable to refuse.To reject Sima Yi is to reject Cao Pi, the handsome man behind Sima Yi, but the serious consequences of offending Cao Pi, who has always been narrow-minded, really make Jia Xu dare not make mistakes.Therefore, Jia Xu had no choice but to let his family take Sima Yi into the dormitory where he was bedridden.I could only hear the sound of steady and powerful footsteps gradually approaching outside the dormitory. With a "squeak", the door opened and Sima Yi walked in slowly.Jia Xu was half lying on the bed, quietly looking at his face and temperament.This is one of the few times in Jia Xu's life when he observes someone so intently like today.Generally speaking, such a person will be someone who has had an important impact on his life, such as Prime Minister Cao, Dong Zhuo, etc.

Although Sima Yisu claimed to be of Confucian origin, Jia Xu could not see in him a trace of the pedantic air that literati and Confucian scholars usually have.On the contrary, when he raises his hands, turns his eyes and looks around, sometimes he exudes a kind of vigor and vigor, as aggressive as a tiger or a leopard.However, most of the time, Sima Yi seems to be deliberately restraining his vigor, pretending to be obedient, unassuming, and extremely low-key, so that many courtiers think that he is just a submissive, cautious and fearful, relying on In the shadow of his father and brother, he is a middle-of-the-road talent who has risen steadily.But Jia Xu didn't see it that way.Sima Yi's real face, he is one of the few people in the world who knows deeply.

Jia Xu understands that sometimes a person's words and deeds at a critical moment may be the truest side of the person.The founding father of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Han, was thick and seldom written. He seemed to be dull and reticent, and he was not liked by civil servants. Battle exploits - it is really "a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured".Sima Yi is naturally this "incomparable" expert.Moreover, in the process of promoting Cao Pi's succession to the throne, there are quite remarkable things, which is amazing.

When Jia Xu was thinking to himself, Sima Yi had already walked in front of him.He leaned over with a very concerned expression, bowed deeply to Jia Xu, and said, "Mr. Jia, I am bothering you! Is your illness better?" Jia Xu pretended to be trembling and half sat up, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sima .The old man is getting old, and he gets sick like this when he catches a cold occasionally. The older he gets, the more useless he becomes."

Sima Yi said indifferently: "Dr. Jia is a pillar of the court. Many important events are waiting for Dr. Jia to come out and preside over the overall situation after he recovers! Dr. Jia must not say such depressing words anymore. Moreover, the general of the five senses is also concerned about Dr. Jia's illness. Really, in the past few days, I have visited many master doctors, and finally found two prescriptions for Dr. Jia, so I specially asked Xiaosheng to deliver them to my door on his behalf, hoping to cure Dr. Jia's illness in time."

When Jia Xu heard this, she suddenly raised her head and looked straight at Sima Yi, her gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife's edge, as if she wanted to pierce into the depths of Sima Yi's heart.He smiled slightly, and said slowly: "That's really troublesome for the general of the five senses! I don't know what kind of two doses of medicine he sent? I hope Mr. Sima will tell you in detail."
