Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The big man in the west stirs up the feces and internal fighting in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and a political drama is also being staged in Cao Wei's own family in the east.

It was early winter, and the weather was getting colder. Cao Shuang and a group of his confidantes got together again, cooking wine and discussing affairs, and also a farewell party for Li Sheng who was rushing to Youzhou to serve as the governor.

"Gong Zhao (Li Sheng's word) is going to Youzhou. The road is thousands of miles away. It is extremely cold and the road is difficult and dangerous. You are from Jingzhou. You don't know how to obey the water and soil, so you should be careful."

Holding the warm wine cup, Cao Shuang made a toast to Li Sheng, and said, "I live far away in Youzhou, so I have to be careful in everything and pay attention to the movement of the center. Shuang will wait for Qing Daru in Yecheng to repay Youzhou!"

Tian Yu was transferred to Bingzhou, and Yuzhou was vacant. Guanqiu Jian, the governor of Youzhou, was transferred to the governor of Yuzhou, and the governor of Youzhou was transferred to Cao Shuang's confidant Li Sheng.

Li Sheng held up his bottle to return the salute, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, General, and you will surely live up to the general's entrustment when you win."

As he spoke, Li Sheng showed hesitation on his face, and he didn't know how to say the words in his mouth.

Cao Shuang observed Li Sheng's expression, and said with a smile, "Gong Zhao is nostalgic for the wealth and honor of Ye City, so he doesn't want to be appointed to the north?"

Li Sheng shook his head, and said: "Sheng is such a person, but I'm just worried that there are still three tigers in the city!"

"Three Tigers?" Cao Shuang was taken aback, not knowing who he was referring to.

Deng Yang, who was drinking, put down the wine vessel in his hand and said, "General, what Li Youzhou said refers to Sima Yi and his son."

He Yan sneered, and said: "Old man Chang Tan, Li Youzhou is really worrying about the sky, what should Sima Yi and his son fear. Sima Yi has no military power in his hands, and in Rong Yang's mansion, he doesn't know what will happen to him, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"But what about Brother Sima?" Li Sheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Sima is not a good person, his martial arts strategy is no match for Xiahou Zhengxi. And who knows if Sima Yi is really sick, after all, he has a hole in his chest. I must not take it lightly.”

Deng Yangshan crossed his legs and said disapprovingly: "The old thief is sixty-five years old, he is already old and his body is old, and he has been fighting all year round, so it is so strange that he is sick and lying on the couch, Li Youzhou don't worry!"

"General?"

"What Gong Zhao said is not unreasonable!" Cao Shuang raised his hand to stop the quarrel of these people, and said, "Sima Yi has always been in good health, why did he suddenly become ill this year and become bedridden? Is there something strange about it?"

Since Sima Yi tried to take advantage of Cao Shuang's southern campaign to seize power in Jingzhou, Cao Shuang had a hard time letting go of Sima Yi.After he returned to the capital, he raised Sima Yirong again and kept Sima Yi away from military and political affairs.But during this period of time, Sima Yi fell ill by coincidence, which really made him suspicious.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Shuang looked at Li Sheng and said, "Gong Zhao, you will go to Sima Yi's mansion in a few days. In the name of saying goodbye to your post, visit Sima Yi, watch his words and deeds, and see if he is sick."

Li Sheng cheered up, cupped his hands and said, "No!"

He Yan put down the warm wine in his hand and said: "General, it's the twelfth month, and it's time to worship ancestors. The general should also serve His Majesty to go to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship ancestors, and pray for the late emperor to bless my great Wei Wu Yun and prosperity."

Gaoping Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Cao Rui.After Cao Rui died at the front line, Cao Shuang and others wanted to move the capital, so they buried Cao Rui near Yecheng.Its current mausoleum has the same name as the mausoleum repaired in Luoyang, both of which are Gaoping Mausoleum.

Cao Shuang's face was slightly drunk, and he said: "And remember, all the officials will be ordered to accompany you at that time."

"promise!"

After talking about the business, Cao Shuang stretched out his hands to rub Zhang Cairen's body, enjoying it quite a bit.Zhang Cairen, on the other hand, had a charming face, fawning over Cao Shuang and pouring wine for him.

Zhang Cairen is the concubine of Cao Rui's harem. Zhang Dang, the man of the Huang family, sent the talented people Zhang and He to Cao Shuang's mansion for his favor in order to please Cao Shuang.Although Cao Shuang said he didn't want it, he was very honest and favored the two of them.

……

Taifu Mansion, inside the martial arts training ground.

The cold wind howled, Sima Yi was dressed in single clothes, wielding a long sword, practicing martial arts.Seeing that his movements are nimble and agile, there is no sign of illness at all.

Brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, holding their long swords, walked inside to deliver the news.

Sima Shi cupped his hands and said, "Father, Cao Shuang issued an order to come to Gaoping Mausoleum in the first month to offer sacrifices to the late emperor. At that time, Cao Shuang and his cronies will go with them, and there will be no deviation."

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said while waving his long sword, "Good to go! Come into my room tonight, and I have something important to tell you for my father."

"promise!"

Sima Zhao looked at his father Sima Yi, then at his brother Sima Shi with a cold face. He was in the dark, confused, and had no idea what the father and brother were planning.

Soon, night falls.

Sima Shi put on his outer robe and went to Sima Yi's study room, and knocked on the door.

"Master, let's go into the house!"

Sima Shi pushed open the room, sneaked into the study, and closed the door tightly.

"Sit down!" Sima Yi saw his son Sima Shi entering the room, pointed to the couch, and said, "What is the attitude of Gao Situ, Wang Taifu, and Jiang Taiwei?"

Sima Shi shook his head and said, "The attitudes of the three of you are ambiguous."

Sima Yi laughed a few times, and said: "If you don't have a clear attitude, you support us. It's just that these three people didn't see the situation clearly, so Anken bet with me. When the time comes to control Yecheng for my father, these three people will naturally help me. "

Situ Gaorou, Crown servant Wang Guan, and Taiwei Jiang Ji are all old foxes. Although they promised to cooperate with Sima Yi in making troubles, they did not reveal their true attitudes.

Of course, as an old fox, Sima Yian didn't know what the three of them were thinking. To be on the safe side, Sima Yi didn't tell the three of them when the incident happened. Only the eldest son, Sima Shi, knew.

Sima Shi looked at Sima Yi and asked deeply, "Should my father be Zhou Bo or follow Tian Chen's example?"

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked back: "Based on the current situation, Ziyuan thinks that Tian Chen's matter or Zhou Bo's is feasible?"

The four words Tian Chen and Zhou Bo in the mouth of the father and son contain the future direction of the Sima clan.

Tian Chen refers to the Tian family and Dai Qi.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Tian Huanzi, the fourth grandson of Tian Wan, the Duke of Chen, joined forces with Bao, Luan, and Gao to eliminate Lu, who was in charge of Qi.After that, the Tian family and the Bao family eliminated Luan and Gao Er's families.

After Qi Jinggong's death, Tian Qi expelled the country and the Gao Er clan, and established his son Yang Sheng as his prime minister.From then on, the Tian family took control of the state affairs of Qi State.In the following decades, the Tian family gradually replaced the Jiang family and became the monarch of Qi.

As for Zhou Bo's matter, it was Lu's chaotic government. Zhou Bo joined Chen Ping to kill Lu's, and helped the rootless Emperor Wen to the throne, but did not replace Liu.

Therefore, if you follow the path of the Tian family replacing Qi, then the Sima family will replace Cao; if you follow the path of Zhou Bo, you will assist the Cao family.

Master Sima pondered for a long time, and replied: "Today's situation is that Han is strong and Wei is weak. You can follow Zhou Bo's road first, and then see the world situation, and then think about Tian Chenyi or Zhou Bo's road."

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Zi Yuan's words must be the right words, no matter what, my Sima family's wealth should not fall!"

As he spoke, Sima Yi calmed down and asked, "How many troops can be gathered under Ziyuan's command? At that time, Ziyuan will need to lead people to attack the arsenal, guard Simamen, and isolate China and foreign countries."

Sima Shi's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Father, after a few years, my son has quite a few contacts. You can gather three thousand dead men for my father to drive."

"Three thousand dead men?"

When Sima Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He knew that his elder son was reliable and capable, but he never thought he would be so capable. He secretly supported three thousand dead men, what was he trying to do!It is estimated that the kid in front of him had this idea a few years ago, no wonder he would ask about Zhou Bo and Tian Chen, he has a big heart.

Sima Yi coughed lightly, and said: "Zi Yuan, on the day of Gaoping Mausoleum, three thousand dead men were gathered to the mansion, and they followed their father to seize the arsenal, and closed the Sima gate."

Armed rebellion not only depends on people, but also needs to rely on armor, bows and crossbows, otherwise how can you be an opponent when you meet a regular army.

"Father, the mansion of General Cao Shuang is on the way we must go to the arsenal. Is it difficult to pass?" Sima Shi said.

Cao Shuang is by no means an idiot, he attaches great importance to military power.The arsenal in Yecheng is in the northeast corner, and Cao Shuang's house is not far from the arsenal. Before arriving at the arsenal, you have to pass through Cao Shuang's house.

It can be said that Sima Yi had many difficulties in wanting an armed rebellion, and the first hurdle was Cao Shuang's trilogy.

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said calmly: "You will know when you do so!"

"promise!"
