Chapter 644 Mind

"Father—"

In the big tent, Sima Yan fainted several times crying in front of Sima Zhao's coffin, and was woken up again by others.

Seeing Shi Bao come in, she cried even louder, "Shi Sikong, father, he's gone—"

The eyes of He Shao, Wang Rong, Pei Kai and others were all covered with a gloomy light.

More than a dozen guards also pressed their hands on the handle of the knife.

It was as if a pack of wolves were staring at Shi Bao, an old sheep.

In a very short moment, doubt and fear flashed across Shi Bao's eyes, but decades of strong winds and waves allowed him to switch quickly and seamlessly. With a "plop", Shi Bao burst into tears, "My lord, how can you give up?" The veteran left, and the old minister repeatedly wrote letters to persuade the king to cherish the noble body, but unfortunately, the king worked so hard for the country and the people that he became ill, and this is the case!"

During Feng Sa's battle, Sima Zhao's health fell to the root of his illness, and the past few years have been good and bad.

Zhong Hui made a mess, Sima Zhao was frightened and angry, worked hard, and passed away suddenly, which is justified.

Shi Bao is young and mature, so he naturally knows that if he should be confused, he should be confused.

Even if there is a problem, it should not be raised by him.

He Shao, Wang Rong, Yang Xiu and others all looked relieved.

Sima Yan cried even louder, "Father abandons the world, what will the world do for it?"

"Your Majesty..." Shi Bao kowtowed his head in a "plop plop plop", blood splashed all over his forehead soon.

Such crazy self-mutilation stunned everyone around him.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, the old minister is here!" Shi Bao stood up and slammed into Lan Qi beside Sima Yan.

There are swords and spears in full bloom on Lan Qi, and when they hit it, Shi Bao's old life is also confessed.

But of course Sima Yan would not let Shi Bao explain this, otherwise there would be no need to summon him.

Without Shi Bao as Sima Yan's platform, there will always be people gossiping.

As expected, Sima Yan hugged Shi Bao, "Why is Sikong doing this? Even though the father is gone, all the people in the world still need Sikong's support, so don't abandon me and leave!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent..." The two hugged each other, crying even louder.

About half an hour later, He Shao remonstrated with snot and tears: "My son, after the king is gone, the army is still there, and the soldiers are fierce and dangerous. The world still needs the son to preside over the overall situation. I hope that the son will take care of the people in the world and take care of the people in the world." The country and the country are the most important!"

Sima Yan wiped away his tears, "My mind is in a mess, I can ask Sikong about internal and external matters."

It was just a nomination certificate just now, and now is the real test.

"In order not to shake the morale of the army, we will keep the news secret. First break the Shouchun Festival and destroy the bell meeting, and then return to Luoyang to mourn for the king!" Shi Bao cupped his hands.

Sima Yan looked at He Shao, Wang Rong and Yang Xiu.

He Shaodao: "I think it's impossible. The king has passed away, and he should return to Luoyang immediately. If the news is leaked, I'm afraid someone in Luoyang will be the first!"

Sima Zhao is not the emperor.

There is still Emperor Cao Huan in Luoyang City.

If the news leaked out and someone took control of the emperor first, Sima Yan, the prince, would be just the prince forever.

Shi Bao said earnestly: "My son, Zhong Hui is not comparable to Wu Qiujian and Zhuge's birthday, and it is determined to be a great disaster for the country! The old minister only needs one day, and Zhong Hui's head must be presented!"

Some people want Zhong to die, while others want Zhong to live.

And these people, even Sima Yan couldn't afford to offend them.

At this time, a general reported outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Zhong Hui will let Sima send you home."

"Your Majesty is not feeling well and is resting." Sima Yan was confused, "Which Sima envoy?"

The news of Sima Zhao's sudden death was blocked long ago.

"The governor of Jiangbei, the governor of Jingzhou..."

Only then did Sima Yan remember that his uncle Sima Liang had been captured by Zhong Hui, "Let him in."

After all, it was his own family, and an uncle who was defeated in the battle did not pose any threat to Sima Yan.

Sima Liang stumbled and ran in, and when he saw the coffin, he was stunned.

"My father passed away suddenly, and my uncle's mourning has changed." Sima Yan squeezed out a few more tears.

"Brother...how did you..." Sima Liang shrank his head back and also passed out, but this time there was no one to help him, so he fell to the ground instinctively.

There was another cry in the tent.

Not long after, Sima Liang was woken up, his eyes glazed over.

Sima Zhao was cruel to others, but he was kind to his brothers, and he continued to support the mud that couldn't support the wall.

"Uncle, what should my nephew do?" Sima Yan sobbed.

"The prince should return to Beijing immediately, inherit the great rule, and stabilize the court!" Sima Liang replied very simply, "The scholar sent the minister to surrender the form, and he will be a minister of Jin for life, and will never betray my Sima family! The prince will stay in Huainan for one more day. , the situation in Luoyang will be even more dangerous!"

Although he was captured, Zhong Hui remembered his old love and treated him well, offering him good food and drink.

Of course Sima Liang had to return the favor.

Wang Rong chimed in and said, "It's about to be May, and the weather is hot. The king should be buried early, and now Huaibei has been recovered. Since Zhong Hui begged for surrender, he has accomplished a great service. Even if he has the heart of disobedience, what can he do with a mere birthday?" Don't you forget, the Huai River rainy season is coming, if the heavy rain comes suddenly and the Huai River rises sharply, something bad may happen."

In the old days, when Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui were blending oil, they asked about the candidates for Li Bulang, and Zhong Hui recommended Wang Rong: Pei Kai was clear and Wang Rong was brief, both of them were chosen.

The gentry has its own rules of operation.

Wang Rong was repaying Zhong Hui for his recommendation.

The Sima family didn't have much confidence in fighting Qin, but they were confident in fighting Huainan.

When Sima Yi conquered Wang Ling, Sima Yan and Sima You were both taken into the army.

However, Sima Yi paid great attention to Sima You, who was only six years old. After Wang Ling was killed, he was named Marquis of Changle Pavilion.

It was precisely because of this that it left a deep imprint in Sima Yan's heart.

If it wasn't for Sima Shi's sudden death, Sima Yan wouldn't be able to rule the world of the Sima family.

Sima You has always been trained by the Sima family as an heir.

Sima Yan turned his gaze to Shi Bao, "Sikong..."

Shi Bao couldn't tell what she felt, the cooked duck flew away.

Zhong Hui let Sima Liang come back at this time, he must have guessed something...

It is very likely that Zhong Hui had already reached a tacit understanding with Sima Yan through the Yingchuan gentry.

It is impossible to kill the clock. If the task is not completed, the people in Luoyang must be dissatisfied with him. Now if even the Yingchuan nobles are offended, the Shi family will be messed up.

Ever since Sima Zhao killed the king in the street, everyone has been calculating.

Shi Bao pretended to be a loyal dog without hesitation, but he was actually begging for mercy from Sima Zhao.

The political atmosphere in the entire Central Plains has deteriorated. Can he turn the tide with a stone bud?

If you are so straightforward, you can't live now.

"Your Majesty, you should return to Luo immediately! If you are late, you will change!" Shi Bao cupped his hands respectfully, just as humble as he was to Sima Zhao back then.

It's like an old dog has a new owner.

Sima Yan understood, and approval and relief flashed in his eyes, as if what he had been waiting for was this sentence, "What Sikong said is true!"

With the sudden death of Sima Zhao in the Fourth Huainan War, everyone became happy.

Sima Yan regained Huaibei, and Zhong Hui begged for a surrender. As long as he returned to Luoyang, he could inherit the Datong.

The lives of Shi Bao's family were also saved.

Chung will be able to catch his breath in Shouchun.

Sima Liang was released, and He Shao, Wang Rong, Pei Kai, Yang Xiu and others rose to the top.

The gentry in the Central Plains also got what they wanted...
