Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 102 The Reef Emerges (5)
"Zhongda, in fact, I think that among the real people and facts that I have heard and seen, your Sima family has a great sage who lives in troubled times and sticks to the principle of 'do what you should do for the people, do what you can do for the people' "Xun Yu said eloquently, "This sage is your uncle Julu Taishou——Master Sima Zhi. At the time of Emperor Ling, the inner court issued an edict ordering all the states and counties in the world to build palaces and palaces from the people. After receiving the imperial edict, your uncle Sima Zhi sighed in dismay, "As the parents of the people, I want to cut off the common people to call it extravagant, how can I bear to do this?" The extravagant fee is not enough to speak out about the mistakes of the times, but it is a pity that the Emperor Ling was so stupid that he did not listen to it, so he swallowed medicine and committed suicide to show his ambition. At that time, my teacher was the palace guard, and when he heard about Master Sima Zhi’s heroic act, I am also admiring and yearning sincerely, thinking that as a Confucian scholar, I should be worthy of this life. Because of this, as a teacher who loves Wu and Wu, I have always looked forward to your Sima family, and I am devoted to your Sima family forever. You are a friend of gold and jade. I only hope that your Sima family will be blessed with the blessings of Confucianism, and another great talent will come out to help the world and the people, and benefit the world!"

Sima Yi has been familiar with the touching story about his uncle Sima Zhi since he was a child. Hearing Xun Yu's eloquent story today, he felt his heartstrings twitching slowly and resonated with him.Teacher Ling Jun is painstakingly reminding me that there are only five levels of good planning: "being kind to oneself, being kind to others, being kind to the community, being kind to the world, and being kind to the world". Only by mastering the techniques can one become a peerless talent who "stands up and walks in a way that touches the heart and responds to everyone", and can far surpass Jia Xu's first-class ingenuity and wisdom, and be comparable to Han Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu in the world.It seems that Teacher Ling Jun's heartfelt expectations for me, Sima Yi, and the Sima family are really high!It's just...just, why does he pay so much attention to my Sima family?Does he imply any other purpose?Will his attention and concern possibly bring trouble to the "stealing the sky and changing the sun" that our Sima family is secretly implementing? ... No, I have to deal with it skillfully, so that I can get continuous advice and help from Teacher Ling Jun, but I can't let him know too much about all the inside information of my Sima family - especially those core secrets. Not a single one should be leaked out to let him know... However, since he has stated that he wants to help our Sima family participate in the great cause of "pacifying the world and helping the world and the people", which is far from over, our Sima family can naturally take advantage of the trend Leverage strength from him to realize the grand plan of "emerging suddenly, attacking later, and turning the world around".

The first prosperous age after the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu
The candlelight is faint, dotted like stars, flickering and flickering.Candle tears condense on the bronze tree-shaped candle holder in the secret room, just like clusters of treetops covered with bright agates and pearls.

Sima Fang was still sitting behind that square table as usual, with the red sandalwood chessboard and the two bowls of jade-carved chess pieces, one black and one white, still placed in front of him.Sima Yi and Sima Lang sat on the couches on the left and right respectively, with solemn expressions.

"Judging from what you observed when you visited Xun Lingjun today, the Yingchuan Xunmen should really have completely given up on continuing to be loyal to the Cao family. Xun Lingjun even gave Hua Xin the position of commander in charge behind Xudu. , It seems that he is going to completely fade out of the Cao family's core circle of influence, and refuse to cooperate with the Cao family." Sima Fang shot straight at Sima Yi, and said slowly, "All this is for my Sima family. , is definitely a most fortunate thing. Yingchuan Xunmen is the most important pillar of the Cao family's power. If it is torn down by itself, the foundation of the Cao family will collapse. I will be more confident in dealing with the Cao family. gone."

The brothers Sima Lang and Sima Yi nodded silently.

"By the way, Yi'er, when you mentioned that Mr. Xun Ling seemed to attach great importance to our Sima family? He even had ardent expectations for you as a 'tool of warp and weft'?" Sima Fang frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible He said to himself, "Could it be that he has secretly noticed the general idea of ​​our Sima family's sudden emergence, late attack, and turning the world around"? This...it's impossible."

"This... my child once had such suspicions. However, after thinking about it carefully, now the Xudu imperial court has four great families with deep roots and rich leaves, which can be called the crown of famous families - one is the former Taiwei Yang Biao. The Yang family in Guanzhong, from Yang Zhen, the famous minister of Emperor Xiao'an, to Yang Biao today, is a wealthy family of four generations and three lords, with a great reputation; The disciples can be said to be a collection of talents, each living in important places, all over the world. The potential power of this prominent family is the largest in the world; the third is the Shandong Wang family headed by the admonishing doctor Wang Lang. Rulin Guanmian; the fourth is our Hanoi Sima family..." Sima Yi pondered for a while, and finally let out the thoughts that he had pondered so hard in his heart.

"However, if Xun Lingjun decided to withdraw from the cooperation with the Cao family, it means that the Yang, Xun, and Wang families of the four great families have alienated the Cao family together, and my Sima family has a well-known old relationship with the Cao family. We cannot and do not have to 'cut' with the Cao family. In this case, our Sima family has become an invisible force between the Yang, Xun, and Wang families and the Cao family. Facing the Yang, Xun, and Wang families , my Sima family has the same cultural background and close personal connections with them, at least they will not hate our Sima family as much as they hate Hua Xin and Dong Zhao; facing the Cao family, our Sima family has a long history with them Therefore, the old family relationship, and the Cao family also needs to rely heavily on our Sima family and the Yang, Xun, and Wang families to check and balance each other, so they naturally blindly win over my Sima family...

"In this way, in the wise eyes of Xun Lingjun, he can clearly see that only the Cao family and my Sima family are left to stand on the big stage of the current situation and gallop freely. Yes. The Cao family is still standing in the bright, the high, and the strong; my Sima family is still hiding in the dark, low, and weak. But, as long as time passes, our Sima will also You can take advantage of the opportunity to change from weak to strong, from low to high, and from dark to bright. In other words, since Mr. Xun Ling did not want the Cao family to complete the task of "pacifying the world and benefiting the common people", he had no choice but to turn his head. It is an 'either-or' question, and Xun Lingjun may have to choose this way. My lord father, I wonder if my child's opinion is right or not?"

Sima Fang stroked his beard slowly, thought for a long time, and then said: "There is some truth in what you said...Xun Lingjun is a sage through the ages, and his talents are unparalleled. In the end, all his hard work and contributions have gone from From a distance, it is said that it was a wedding dress for the Cao family, and from a distance, it is said that it was a wedding dress for my Sima family, it is really embarrassing to think about it carefully!"

After hearing this, Sima Yi thought to himself: In fact, this is what I admire most about Teacher Ling Jun—sacrificing oneself for others, passing on the torch from generation to generation, even though he is dead, his career is immortal!As long as anyone can truly realize his great ambition of calming the world and benefiting the common people, he is willing to sacrifice everything and give up everything.In the past, he chose the Cao family in Peijun; now, he secretly chose my Sima family in Hanoi-this is really a rare blessing from the Sima family!I really can't imagine that a mere Kong Rong, with his righteous deed of sacrificing his life for the Han Dynasty, actually promoted the complete break between Xun Lingjun and Cao Cao, thus adding a huge boost to the great cause of our Sima family's grand ambition... Thick too.

While he was thinking to himself, Sima Fang said slowly to him again: "However, my father heard you repeat what he said just now. Every word and every word can be said to be golden and jade good words. You must remember them in your heart. I am a child of the Sima family. It means that we should inherit the grand plans and ambitions passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. On the one hand, we should fight all over the court and be invincible; for my use...

"It's just that some of Xun Lingjun's words are a little blunt. The great ambition of calming the world and helping the common people not only needs the foundation of extraordinary talents, but also needs the backing of great authority. This point, Lang'er, Yi'er, you all have to be firm Keep in mind. The ancients said: "A virtuous person who submits to an unworthy person will have power and a humble position; an unworthy man who can submit to a sage will have power and dignity. Yao is an ordinary man and cannot rule three people; Jie is the son of heaven." From this, I know that the power and position are enough to stand up and act. How can I realize the ambition of "pacifying the world and benefiting the common people" when I have no power or power in my hands? Therefore, my Sima family At present, the most important thing is to seize the power of the world, and we should not slack off. After the power is monopolized, our Sima family, with the talents of the world, will surely bring the world back to unity, the world will return to peace, and the people will regain happiness. The first prosperous age after the three generations of Shun and Yu!"

Hearing his father's words, the flame of passion in Sima Yi's heart seemed to be ignited again, his whole body was full of vigor, and he was eager to try and do a big job.

Jia Xu this stumbling block

At this moment, Sima Lang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Father, second brother, do you know that Jia Xu, the new Taizhong doctor, has been hired by Prime Minister Cao as the left army officer of the prime minister's residence, and will accompany Prime Minister Cao on the southern expedition?" Jingzhou? I'm afraid this matter is a bit tricky."

"Well... Cao Cao really used Jia Xu at the end. It's a wonderful move." Sima Fang took out a sunspot from the chess bowl and played it slowly in his hand, with a look of worry on his face, " What about Xun You? Didn't he accompany Cao Cao on his southern expedition?"

"Master Xun is now appointed as the Right Army Adviser of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Sima Lang was in the position of the Chief Registry of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he knew the internal and external government secrets like the palm of his hand. "He should also go south with Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao has Xun You on the right and Jia Xu on the left. It's a tiger with two wings. Maybe Jingzhou can be taken by him in one fell swoop!" Sima Fang said quietly.

"Father, you are overthinking." Sima Yi said, "In my child's view, Xun You, as Xun Lingjun's nephew and the most important figure in Yingchuan's Xun family, cannot be immune to Xun Lingjun's influence, and he probably won't. I will do my best to assist Cao Cao."

"That's not necessarily the case. Xun You is not like Xun Lingjun who 'establishes moral integrity and disciplines things'. He has always been very deep and meticulous. He never shows his happiness, anger, love and evil to the outside world, and he is a bit random. The ingenuity of the circle." Sima Lang knew Xun You's behavior very well, so he couldn't help but refute Sima Yi.
