Chapter 5 Ruthless and Diary

Wei, Cao Cao in his later years.

Cao Cao called Sima Yi to him.

Accompanying him were Xu Chu and Cao Pi.

"I really didn't realize that you were actually thinking of usurping the throne?"

"It's better to usurp my position in the Cao family."

Cao Cao looked quite gloomy.

Sima Yi scolded Sima Yan to the sky in his heart.

You have tricked my ancestors to death.

In front of him, Sima Yi knelt down with a bang: "Prime Minister, as we all know, our Sima family is a family of etiquette. You have been kind to the three brothers of our Sima family. How can we usurp the throne?"

"What's more, I am eight years older than the second young master."

Cao Cao did not speak and continued to stare at Sima Yi, waiting for his next explanation.

"And with the body of the second young master, it is impossible for him to die young, so I have no reason to usurp the throne."

"I cannot usurp the throne at the expense of my old age and loss of reputation."

"So what is said on the canopy must be the work of my unworthy descendants."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi took a cautious look at Cao Cao and found that Cao Cao had not changed at all. He gritted his teeth and continued: "I would like to follow the ancestors of Sima Shi and swear to Luo Shui that my branch will never breed again for the rest of my life." Heirs."

"If there is any violation, the whole Sima Shi family will not die well."

Cao Pi next to him was shocked by Sima Yi's oath and took a breath of cold air.

If Sima Yi swore in the name of a god, he would definitely not believe it.

But he is based on his ancestors and Luoshui.

Unless Sima Yi didn't want to enter the ancestral hall, he would never dare to break his oath.

Cao Pi immediately jumped out, knelt down and said to Cao Cao: "I am also willing to vouch for Zhongda."

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi and suddenly laughed: "Zhongda, how could I doubt you?"

Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhongkang, later you will personally accompany Zhongda to Luoshui for a walk, and then accompany Zhongda to the Sima family's old house."

Sima Yi smiled bitterly.

This is to make myself swear an oath in front of everyone.

At this moment, Sima Yi somewhat understood that his future descendant Sima Yan would rebel, not against anything else, but against the ruthless Jin of Lao Cao's family, and he also wanted to rebel.

Although his heart was turning over and over again, Sima Yi still followed Xu Chu out respectfully, preparing to gather a group of people to swear an oath in Luoshui.

Cao Pi stayed behind to take care of his father.

Cao Cao took Cao Pi's hand and said, "If you are in poor health one day, you must take the entire Sima family down with you."

“Chopping the weeds without removing the roots is a disaster.”

Cao Pi nodded seriously to show that he understood.

Cao Cao sighed again and said: "It's groundless. Although unofficial history is very wild, it also has useful information."

He had long known that Cao Pi might usurp the throne.

After all, their Cao family is only missing one spot. Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Li Shanchang and Lan Yu went to Zhu Yuanzhang to plead guilty.

I swear to God, the two of them really have no thoughts about Queen Ma, nor do they have any thoughts about the prince beyond friendship.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and told the two of them that he believed it.

"You are all old brothers who have followed me to conquer the country. Of course I believe you."

"The things recorded in unofficial history are of course nonsense."

"We have asked people to tell the historians that history books must be written well, carefully written, and backed up frequently, so that future generations can investigate from various aspects."

Li Shanchang and Lan Yu had tears in their eyes.

Then Li Shanchang and Lan Yu resigned together.

The two of them really didn't want to do it anymore.

As shrewd as Li Shanchang, he had already guessed some of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him in the future.

After all, Zhou Yuan initially talked about the time assassin Sima Yi.

Li Shanchang had already decided that after resigning, he would devote himself to Taoism in Nanjing and learn from Zhang Liang.

Lan Yu thought simply. He planned to wait until Zhu Biao ascended the throne.

When Zhu Biao uses him, he will be equivalent to receiving Zhu Biao's favor in front of the world.

As long as he doesn't rebel, Zhu Biao will have no reason to kill him.

After some refusals, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to the resignation of the two.

The other bigwigs from past dynasties came to the historians one after another and repeatedly asked them to record it well.

Especially Li Shimin.

"You must remember it carefully and record it truthfully. Never use the Spring and Autumn style of writing."

"Including my Xuanwu Gate."

"I would rather bear the reputation of killing my brother, killing my brother, imprisoning my father, or even rebelling, than spread scandals with male ministers."

Li Shimin said, "I am not one of those emperors from the Western Han Dynasty. I am not good at masculinity. I only like beautiful, gentle and generous women."

Although he has a very good relationship with Changsun Wuji and the two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, he does not want to spread scandals or gossip.

The same is true for Changsun Wuji.

He also found an additional historian.

The historian responsible for recording history in the Tang Dynasty sighed: "Why do these two people give me the feeling that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place?"

Immediately afterwards, the historian said with gleaming eyes: "Is it possible that the two of them really had something behind the Queen's back?"

"After all, the two of them have known each other longer than the Queen and Your Majesty."

"So, the queen is the shield for the two of them to push out."

The historian who became more and more excited as he thought about it silently returned home. After faithfully recording what Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji told him, he decisively took out his diary in his spare time.

"The historical truth is buried in my diary."

"Descendants, please try your best to find it."
