Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 344 Wisdom eliminates dissidents, Sima Yi is the third minister who entrusts Gu to assist the government (5)
Back in the secret room of the Cao Mansion, Cao Xun yelled angrily at Cao Shuang as soon as he sat down.

Deng Yang also twirled his beard, and said darkly: "The general——Sima Yi is trying to seize the military and political power of the whole country secretly in the name of suppressing Wu and destroying Shu!"

Cao Shuang sat on the tiger-skin beard bed, with his arms crossed, his eyes squinting, and he glanced at them coldly: "This general has already seen his intentions... You two are just here for nothing." What's the use? We still have to come up with an effective way to contain him!"

Xia Houxuan straightened his clothes, and said deeply, "Uncle Zhao, at the ceremony of today's court meeting, thanks to Uncle Huan's scheming and adaptability, he seized the key of 'lack of military rations' and made a big fuss, so that his campaign of defeating Wu and destroying Shu was defeated." It has been postponed until next year... In the next eleven months, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and curb Sima's limelight!"

The corners of Cao Xi's brows were clouded with sorrow: "Although I said that, but you and Sima Yi have just been working together in the government, and you have jealousy and fight with each other... I'm afraid it's not good?!"

"Young Master Xi, you are so kind!" At this time, He Yan, who had been slowly dusting off the corners of his white shirt, said gently, "General Cao, Yan has something to remind you: Sima Yi He has always had great ambitions and is deeply respected by everyone. If he succeeds in the long run, will it be the blessing of the Wei family? For him, we must never push him away!"

"This, the general knows well." Cao Shuang replied coldly.

Cao Xun rubbed his hands, shrugged his shoulders, leaned forward and said, "Brother! Didn't you see it? As soon as Sima Yi took power, he began to 'Guangshu pro-party' - he sent four or five consecutive shots yesterday. The imperial edict was dispatched eight hundred miles, recalling his in-law Weng Wang Su from the position of prefect of Guangping County to Luoyang as a commonplace, and transferred Meng Jian from Chongwen Temple to Yushitai to serve as the governor and servant of the censor. He ever brought back Chongwenguan from other counties to do the "taixue sacrificial wine", and transferred Hefei prefect Wang Guan from Dongjiang to Luoyang to serve as Duzhi Shangshu... It is said that he discussed with two old men, Sun Zi and Liu Fang He is going to put Sun Li in the office of the Great General as the chief historian! He... he is clearly planting 'eyeliner' around us! We can't just sit back and watch him weave a 'web of power' like this! !"

Cao Shuang's chubby face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "I think we should have countermeasures."

"That's right. Big brother, we can also 'treat him in the same way' - he is weaving a 'net of influence' loyal to his Sima family, and we have to weave a net: We should win over any old enemies of his Sima family! My younger brother heard that his father once said that the Ding clan in Guanzhong had a deep hatred with Sima Yi. The leaders of the Ding clan, Ding Yi and Ding Yi brothers, were killed by Sima Yi under Emperor Wen. In front of him, he died of slander and assassination...Now Ding Yi's cousin, Ding Mi, is already known as an "extraordinary talent" and has a feud with the Sima family, so he has nowhere to go—why not Recruit him to deal with Sima Yi together?"

"Ding Mi? Well... General, Deng has seen this man before. He is indeed a generation of resourceful geniuses! It was only because Emperor Wen left the edict of 'sealing the Ding family in Guanzhong' that he has not been able to Entering an official position... If the general can promote him and use his hands to deal with Sima Yi, this method is naturally ingenious and ingenious--Deng is deeply admired!" Deng Yang listened , and echoed Cao Xun beside him.

"Well... this matter, Brother Xun and Mr. Deng, you two should take care of it." Cao Shuang nodded.

"Of course recruiting a talent like Ding Mi to deal with Sima Yi is a brilliant move. We should also play tricks on the bright side, using the technique of 'repressing desires first' and 'rising brightly and descending secretly' to paralyze Sima Yi..." He Yan pinched his slender white fingers extremely hard for a while, until they turned black and blue, and then loosened his hands again, watching the suppressed blood slowly turn red like a dry river, It slowly melted into the snow-white, "General, you can present a memorial written in your own handwriting, requesting His Majesty to advance Sima Yi to be the Grand Tutor and Grand Sima's Grand Master, so that all the scholars and people in the world can see your respect for him." Admiration and respect... In this way, you have taken the initiative, and he, Sima Yi, can't be aggressive with you in public, right?"

"Jin made him Grand Tutor and Grand Sima's Grand Master? Isn't this going to elevate him even higher?" Cao Yan felt that He Yan's suggestion seemed a bit too humble at this time, and asked in surprise.

"Hey... What Tai Tuo and Da Sima are all things with false names and titles. They are just used to flatter him and show him a superficial favor. It's not a big deal! Anyway, he is already here. Nominally, he is the chief minister of Gu Ming, so why not put some tall hats on him and overwhelm his head?" He Yan said gloomily, "Let's restrain ourselves a bit first, and behave like a man with our tails tucked up, mostly at the bottom. Light a few fires on Sima's house to make their heads go crazy."

The minister's deceased father was true, and he served the three dynasties. He entered Beizhong Zai and left as a general.The first emperor used the heart and soul of his ministers, rewarded and promoted them, ordered troops to ban provinces, entered without loyalty and accumulation, and retreated without the festival of self-government.The first emperor's holy body was not hesitant. Although the ministers were running around and serving the sick to taste the medicine, they never responded with sincerity and sincerity.The minister heard that Yu and Shun ordered the virtuous, with Ji and Qi as the first, Chengtang to praise meritorious service, with Yi and Lu as the leaders, judge and select the best, and get what is good or bad. , Since ancient times, there has been no or no.Today's minister is vain and dark, he is the leader of the class, Gu Weiyue is the second, he is ashamed in the center, dares to use up his stupidity, and writes to the truth.The three masters of Dao in the world are called Virtue, Jue, and Teeth.Yi originally thought that he was brilliant and upright, he was in the position of superior, and he was famous for his foot township.Bao Huai Da Lue, Yun Wen Yun Wu, still standing for the meritorious service of conquest, far and wide, the second is also.Thousands of miles of rotating banners, personal acceptance of the edict, wings shining on the royal family, internal and external directions, three things.In addition, Qi Ai, Ji Gangbangguo, practiced government affairs; his morals surpassed Ji Fu and Fan Zhong, and his academic performance surpassed Fang Shu and Zhao Hu: all of these are both good and practical.If the subject stands shoulder to shoulder with empty fame, people in the world will say that the subject is selfish because of the clan, knowing it and then not knowing how to retreat.Your Majesty, Qi Yi, Ke Ming Ke class, if there are words from the inspectors, the ministers think that it is appropriate to use Yi as the Tai Tuo and Da Sima, to show His Majesty the wisdom of being a virtuous man, to show the reality of Yi's civil and martial arts, and to save the foolish ministers from slander.

Sima Zhao slowly read the memorial written by Cao Shuang to His Majesty sentence by sentence, and then put it on the table in front of Sima Yi.

"Zhaoer, what do you think of Cao Shuang's memorial?" Sima Yi stared at Sima Zhao with bright eyes.

"Father, is it possible that Cao Shuang is sincerely showing his affection to you?" Sima Zhao replied cautiously, "Maybe he is using this to test you, Father..."

Sima Yi stroked his long beard slowly, and said thoughtfully: "Recently, among the scholars in the capital, there has been a famous saying about Pinzao, 'We are deep, so we can understand the aspirations of the world. That’s right; it’s only a few things, so it can accomplish the world’s affairs, and Sima Ziyuan is the same; only gods, so it can come quickly without being too fast, and Uncle He Ping is the same.” It's a bit strange to compare it with my children."

"Father, my son has heard of this famous quote before. If my guess is not wrong, it is very likely that Xia Houxuan and He Yan made it up - on the one hand, it is used to pretend to be good, and to paralyze the vigilance of our Sima family. On the one hand, they use this to tout their own talents and virtuous prestige..." Sima Zhao's eyes sparkled, but his tone was extremely calm, "If they really have such sinister intentions, our Sima family will promptly guard against them. Prepare!"

After hearing his analysis, Sima Yi's eyes darkened: This Zhao'er really has extraordinary knowledge!I, Sima Yi, have a son like this, what regrets do my husband have?He calmly suppressed the excitement in his chest, and said calmly: "Zhaoer, what you said is indeed reasonable. However, in the face of Cao Shuang's autograph, how do you think a father should respond?" Woolen cloth?"

"This... Originally, father, you have nothing to do with the honor of the chief assistant of Gu Ming, and the two titles of Tai Tuo and Da Sima." Sima Zhao has always expressed his feelings directly in front of his father. When my father asked this question, he continued to follow his own train of thought and replied, "However, in my child's opinion, holding the titles of Taifu and Da Sima can no longer demonstrate your great achievements and virtues, my lord father." You might as well dismiss it for the time being, wait for a while, and see how Cao Shuang responds."

Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, his heart was secretly moved, but he pretended to be ignorant, and slowly followed Sima Zhao's words: "Oh? Your opinion is that if Cao Shuang sends out any higher-level ones' 'gift', is it still acceptable for the father?"

"Well... from my child's point of view, Sun Zi, Liu Fang, Cui Lin, Gao Rou and other adults have been planning in advance to give you the honor of 'promoting the prime minister and adding gifts to Jiuxi'-if Cao Shuang can be here again... Add more strength from time to time, and you will be able to reach the peak naturally." Sima Zhao bowed and said in a low voice, with his forehead lowered so that Sima Yi could not see his expression.

Sima Yi didn't answer immediately, but picked up the copy of Cao Shuang's autograph on the case table, rubbed it repeatedly in his palm, and moved his eyes away from Sima Zhao's head, as if staring at some distant place, Said solemnly: "My father remembers that there was such a story, before Emperor Taizu Wu was promoted to the Duke of Wei and conferred gifts on Jiuxi, Emperor Wen Cao Pi tried his best to encourage his father to reach the pinnacle... On the surface, Cao Pi is Fulfilling filial piety to strive for glory for his father; however, in his private heart, Cao Pi used this as a means to compete with his third brother Cao Zhi in front of his father. As a result, Cao Cao took a step to ascend to the position of Duke Wei, although on the surface he had monopoly and glory Infinity, but from now on, you will be separated from the Ninth Five-Year Honor and the king's career, and it will never be settled!"

Hearing Sima Yi's words, Sima Zhao's whole body was suddenly shocked as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, his back immediately bent even lower, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead——Your Father is really amazing!The secret intention buried in the deepest part of his heart was also clearly and clearly understood by him!
Seeing his reaction, Sima Yi didn't want to push him too far, so he softened his tone and changed the subject: "That's all! The decision to be a father has been made, and to the greatest extent, I will only accept the position of Taifu that they persuaded. ... As a father, as the chief minister of Gu Ming, if you take the title of Taifu, you will be well-deserved and flawless. Then, Zhao Er, please help me to think about this issue carefully, because my father is being promoted to Taifu Afterwards, who will be the most suitable to take over the position of Taiwei vacated by my father? Zhaoer, I believe that you have always been considerate and thoughtful about the matter of being a father, so you should not hesitate to speak out Bar!"
