The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 169 People from the Sima Family ([-])

Xiangguo Mansion in Luoyang, early morning on the 264th day of March in AD 25.

Sima Zhao got up and washed up under the service of the maid. After eating the morning food, he stood in the courtyard in front of the house and looked up at the sky for a long time.

In the late March of the lunar calendar, the temperature has begun to rise significantly.This is good news for Sima Zhao's body.As his physical self-awareness improved, Sima Zhao resumed the habit of reviewing political affairs in person every day.

Lift your feet and enter the study.Sima Yan, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and others were already waiting there.

"Is there any new news from Xishu?"

After receiving the news of Yang'anguan's defeat at the end of last year, the first thing Sima Zhao did after going to work every day was to inquire about the Shu Han's information, especially about Guan Yi - and in the past, this honor belonged to Ding Feng's.

"The news came from Jinzuo Cao yesterday that Guan Zifeng, the puppet chief minister of Xishu, cleaned the interior of Xishu in the middle of the night on the eighth day of March..."

"Let's see... Well, this son is really courageous." As a ruler, there is no one who doesn't hate aristocratic families.Seeing Guan Yi raising his sword high and slashing at the family of Shu Han in Yizhou, Sima Zhao felt that he couldn't truly yearn for it.

But no, the family of Xishu has been suppressed by Liu Yan and his son, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for six to seventy years, that is, it has only begun to exert force in the last ten years or so.At this time, although Guan Yi's sword will cause some turmoil, Sima Zhao is very clear: this will not shake the foundation of the country of Xishu—after all, the foundation of the country of Xishu is self-cultivating farmers!

But in other words, the Sima family themselves would not dare to do this!
Looking at the eldest son Sima Yan who is about to turn 28 this year, he thinks of the young man in Xishu who will turn 31 this year.Sima Zhao felt irritated for no reason: he used to think this son was pretty good, but now the more he looks at it, the more dissatisfied he is?After Lao Tzu died, could he really keep the Sima family?
Then look at Sima You who is busy making tea in a corner of his study.Sima Zhao's mood was even more depressed: this kid was kind-hearted, intelligent, and gentle, compared to his elder brother who looked resolute and tough on the outside, but was actually more resourceful and less decisive on the inside.Taofu is really a good candidate for the crown prince.

It's a pity that the attack on Shu failed this time, and the future of the Sima family seemed extremely uncertain.At such a bad moment, a good boy like Sima You can't take on big responsibilities.It was rumored that the resolute and courageous Sima Yan could still bluff some people.

"Apart from the information about Xishu, is there any urgent matter today?"

"If you go back to the king, there is no one for the time being."

"Shan, let's take a day off today. Gong Lu and Ji Yan, you have worked hard."

"Don't dare, Jin Wang, Shizi, Young Master, I will take my leave."

Seeing the figures of Jia Chong and others slowly disappearing from sight, Sima Zhao said to Sima Yan: "Go and pass on a message. Tonight at Xushi, please invite third uncle, Zichu, Ziyi, Zijiang, Zizang, and Zijiang Wei and Ziyi, Weifu come to my study in my house. Remember, Weifu!"

Hearing that Sima Zhao was going to call a meeting of the main members of the Sima family, Sima Yan's expression became extremely serious.Although he didn't know what his father was thinking at this time, there were very few Sima family gatherings like this after Sima Yi's death.At such a sensitive moment...and request all microservices...

"Obey, father. The child will go down immediately to make arrangements. I promise not to let the news out."

"Well, that's right. Ask third uncle to come over an hour earlier."

"Uh, here!"

The third uncle in Sima Zhao's mouth, of course, refers to Sima Yi's third younger brother Sima Fu Sima Shuda.Sima Lang of Boda, Sima Yi of Zhongda, Sima Fu of Shuda... Sima Yi's generation is eight brothers.

But Sima Bada is not all excellent, overall, only the first three are top-notch talents.

Needless to say, Zhongda Sima Yi.Boda Sima Lang was also a famous minister of Cao Wei, the kind of firefighting team that Cao Cao asked him to work in wherever it was difficult to govern.And what about Shuda Simafu?As I said before, this is an old thief at the actor's level.

In case the Sima family fails to usurp the throne, Sima Yi, the dark son who is responsible for maintaining the name of the Sima family after the three clans are wiped out.Since Sima Fu helped Sima Yi complete the Gaopingling coup, he has distanced himself from Sima Yi on the surface.On various occasions, he regarded himself as a loyal minister of Cao Wei.But in any case, his surname is Sima, and this alone determines where his position will eventually fall.

"Third Uncle, today's situation is critical. My nephew has fainted many times in recent days and is about to die soon... You are the oldest surviving elder in our Sima family. What should our Sima family do? Yes."

"Hey, after the second brother succeeded in the coup, Cao Shuang's three clans shouldn't have been killed. If we take this step, our Sima family will never be able to turn back."

My third uncle from MB, what if my father didn't kill Cao Shuang?You must know that my Sima family was not considered a top-to-one family at that time!If you don't kill Cao Shuang Liwei, how can your elder brother (Sima Shi) succeed to the throne after his father dies?If the elder brother can't succeed, the Cao family and Xiahou family's counterattack will come long ago. Can my Sima family survive until now?

"Third Uncle, Guan Zifeng from Western Shu is an outstanding man. The key is that he is only 31 years old. He is a military commander. If there is no accident, his life will not be in danger within 30 years. The life span of his nephew is only one or two years. An Shifu Not his opponent. Moreover, my family's title of king this time is too reluctant, and many courtiers simply disdain...After the death of my nephew, only the third uncle can stabilize the court...Third uncle, please remember when your father was alive For your kindness, don't leave our branch behind..."

Speaking of which, if Sima Zhao died and the Sima family failed to usurp the throne.It was Sima Yan who was wiped out of the three tribes.And Sima Yan's extermination of the three clans has nothing to do with Sima Fu.

There are many versions of the so-called three clans.But the more generally accepted view is the paternal clan, the maternal clan, and the wives clan.If Sima Yan was the core of the three clans that were destroyed, then those who were killed were all Sima Zhao's brothers and their children (father's family), all Wang Yuanji's brothers and their children (mother's family), and all of Jin's concubine Yang's family. Brothers and their children (wives) - and what does this have to do with Sima Fu?

Only when Sima Zhao is at the core to exterminate the three tribes, will Sima Fu suffer accordingly.But now who dares and who can wipe out Sima Zhao's three clans?
So now Sima Fu is about to let go.At this moment, only Sima Zhao begged Sima Fu.

But why did Sima Zhaofei ask Sima Fu?Because this person is not only good at acting, but also a person with real talents.Moreover, he is one of the few remaining members of the Sima family who can lead troops to fight!When the Sima family caused dissatisfaction from many aristocratic families because of their forced supremacy, the handle of the knife became particularly important.Although the handle of the knife is very powerful, it must be held in the hands of someone who can use it to be effective.

I think back then, after Zhuge Ke won the great victory in Dongxing, he launched the Northern Expedition with 20 soldiers from the State of Wu.At that time, the commander-in-chief sent by Cao Wei was Sima Fu, and his commander's strength was as high as 20.

The result of the fight between the two sides was that Zhuge Ke lost his army and lost his general, and returned home in embarrassment.In order to stabilize power in the case of a great loss of prestige, internal control had to be further strengthened.This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Soochow family, and Sun Jun, the second Gu Ming minister, took this opportunity to launch a coup and wiped out Zhuge Keyi from the three clans.

Think again, when Jiang Wei wiped out [-] Cao Wei Yongzhou troops in Taoshui.The whole of Longxi became a vacuum, and Guanzhong also experienced a great shock.At that time, apart from Cao Wei sending Deng Ai to rush to Longxi to rebuild the Longxi Army, who went to Guanzhong to stabilize the situation?Or Sima Fu!

This old man, like his dead brother, is an important minister of the country at the level of a firefighter!In addition to his good acting skills, he also has real skills, and he can put out the fire when he goes there!And it's not the same as Sima Yi's reputation of "Eagle Watching Wolf Gu".The label on the head of actor Sima Fu is 'virtuous and respected'!
"My nephew wants to ask my third uncle to be the leader of the Central Committee, but I ask my third uncle to do it! My nephew begs with tears of blood, and I hope my third uncle will take pity on my nephew's family..."

An old man in his 50s was crying in front of a man in his 70s. This scene is very strange!

"Hey, son-in-law. You said that you will die soon. Could it be that at the age of third uncle, can you live for a long time?"

"The third uncle will at least live much longer than my nephew. Moreover, if the Zen Dynasty goes well, our Sima family's tradition of valuing family members will not change. The prince will naturally be the prince with real power on the side of the town. And the emperor's nephew , we should choose the best ones to be princes!"

Well, this is the price Sima Zhao tempted Sima Fu to sell: If Sima Yan becomes the emperor in the future, these brothers of mine will be kings, and your sons will be kings too!And it's not a captive king like Cao Wei who is tightly controlled.Instead, he has the right to soldiers, and in his own fief is the real power of the Tu Emperor!

After making such a big promise, Sima Zhao looked at the silent Sima Fu, gritted his teeth, took two steps on his knees and grabbed the hem of Sima Fu's clothes: "Third Uncle, what my nephew said is from the bottom of my heart. If Third Uncle doesn't believe it, , my nephew can leave his own handwritten order. Yan'er will have to carry it out in the future!"

Finally, a voice came from above his head: "My eldest son, Sima Yong, can lead the army."
