Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 202
"Why is Junhou so confused?" Ding Yi asked anxiously, "How did Junhou clarify the facts in front of the prime minister? Could it be that Junhou didn't see that the prime minister has been accumulating anger for a long time today, and he is determined to punish Master Yang for the death penalty." ——If he is guilty, he must die, and if he is innocent, he must die!"

Cao Zhi stopped arguing with him and just rushed out.

However, Ding Yi took a step back, pulled out the sword from his waist abruptly, put it across his neck, and said sharply: "If the lord is still obsessed with obsession, Ding is willing to splash blood from his neck to stop the lord from getting into danger." Realm!" Seeing this, Cao Zhi had no choice but to stop, and sighed, "Brother Ding... why does Brother Ding do this?"

"Your Majesty, please go back to your residence!" Ding Yi pushed the sharp sword lying on his neck inward, the sharp blade cut the skin of his neck immediately, and a stream of blood gushed out.

"Brother Ding...Brother Ding, let go of the sword!" Cao Zhi looked panic-stricken, and he backed up again and again, "Benhou...this is the time when Benhou returned to the house..." As he spoke, he burst into tears, choked up and unable to make a sound .

Ding Yi's face was as cold as ice with no ripples.He quietly watched Cao Zhi retreat back to the mansion until he was no longer seen, then slowly put down the sharp sword in his hand.He slowly raised his head and looked at the vast sky, black clouds billowing like black clouds, an extremely fierce storm was brewing, and it seemed that it would come soon... He stood upright like an iron gun Under the sky of "black clouds overwhelm the city to destroy it", he is so eye-catching, but also so lonely... In an instant, the calm and calm expression on his face suddenly fell apart, revealing a deep feeling. Deeply lost and helpless, I can only let the tears come out of my eyes, and my face is full of tears, wetting my clothes...

This was the first time in Ding Yi's life that she shed tears in public.Many years later, those people who experienced the changes of the Wei and Jin abdications recalled the scene at that time, and suddenly realized.As early as decades ago, Ding Yi was the first person to shed tears for the overthrow of the Wei family.However, in those days, who heard the overtones of his silent choking?The whole world is in a coma, and a bosom friend is hard to find.This is the great tragedy of all Wang Zuozhi's talents.When everyone understands his heart, everything will be irreparable.Perhaps, a real counselor always uses people's remorse afterwards to prove his foresight at that time?Like Fan Zeng, Wu Zixu, and Tian Feng, although they have a clear understanding of the current situation and have exhaustive strategies, they cannot persuade the owner to adopt their strategies, so they have left behind scenes of epic tragedies for future generations.Isn't Ding Yi like this?
The dust settles
Three days later, Yang Xiu was killed in the city for several crimes, including handing over princes, leaking military secrets, and conspiracy.On the day before his execution, there was a lot of rain, and it seemed that the heaven in the dark also shed pouring tears for his grievances.

On the second day after he was killed, Prime Minister Cao personally wrote an order to make Cao Pi the son of the five-featured Zhonglang, and announced it to the world at the same time, which is known to all.

In fact, before the final canon of who is the son, it is said that Cao Cao still called Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for a final questioning.

Cao Cao asked his two brothers: "The father's ascension to the public today and the establishment of the foundation are all caused by the destruction of Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu. But in the minds of your brothers, why Yuan Shao lost and how father won victory ?”

Cao Zhi replied: "Yuan Shaozhi is big but has little talent, many plans but few decisions, many soldiers but poor command, arrogant generals but inconsistent government orders, so he suffered a complete defeat in the battle of Guandu. His father and ministers all went against him. Therefore, the battle of Guandu was completely won."

Cao Cao turned his attention to Cao Pi.Cao Pi replied: "Baby's opinion, Yuan Shao has many relatives and virtuous men, his soldiers are strong and his generals are strong, and he is well-mannered, which is not exactly what Zhidi said."

"Since this is the case, why was Yuan Shao finally destroyed by his father?" Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Cao Pi replied with the utmost respect: "Yuan Shao's demise is actually because the heavens drove away the great cause of his father's prime minister first. My Cao family belongs to the destiny, with great blessings and blessings, and prosperity. The soldiers are fine, the generals are fierce, and the masters are wise and strong, so they have to wait and see and be defeated."

Hearing Cao Pi's reply, Cao Cao was very moved for a long time, and after the two brothers withdrew, he only said one sentence: "Only know people and affairs, but the ears of a minister! If you can know the destiny, you will be the hero of life, and it is an extraordinary tool." !” So, the next day, he issued a warrant to make Cao Pi his son.

Then, Cao Pi's article "Crafting and Slandering" was published immediately, and was distributed to the major mansions in Xudu City by the Literature Department of the Prime Minister's Mansion.With the public release of the decree of establishing an heir and the article "Crafting a Slander", this protracted struggle for establishing an heir has finally come to an end.The government and the public averted their attention, paying attention to the next big move that Prime Minister Cao was about to take - the promotion from Duke Wei to King Wei.Chen Qun, the newly appointed head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was running around behind the scenes, planning all of this.

Everyone felt that the Prime Minister's Mansion without Yang Xiu was indeed different from before.As for how it is different, people seem to be unable to say for a while.But there is an underground news that spreads in the prime minister's mansion, that is, Sima Fu, the concubine of Pingyuanhou's mansion, will be transferred back to the prime minister's mansion again, and it is rumored that he will become the deputy director of the prime minister's mansion.It is said that the transfer order of Sima Fu was suggested by the elder son Cao Pi to Prime Minister Cao.In order to appease the fluttering mentality of the bureaucrats in Pingyuan Hou's mansion who were panicked as if they had been thrown into the cold palace, Prime Minister Cao agreed and promoted Sima Fu in an exceptional way.

However, there is another theory inside and outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that Sima Fu himself resigned to the Marquis of Pingyuan and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.Moreover, on the day he asked Pingyuanhou to resign, he was accompanied by his second brother Sima Yi.But Sima Yi never entered Pingyuanhou's mansion, he just waited outside the mansion for Sima Fu to come out and returned with the same car.Some people also saw that after Sima Fu resigned that day, he walked out of Pingyuanhou's mansion in tears.

In fact, rumors are just rumors, some are false and some are true, some are true and some are false.No one can tell how Sima Fu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.But almost everyone knew that Sima Fu had indeed resigned to Marquis Pingyuan by himself, but no one knew why he did so.

Sad Life Sima Fu
That day, Sima Fu, accompanied by his second brother Sima Yi, went outside the gate of Pingyuanhou's Mansion.He got out of the carriage by himself and went straight to the mansion.Sitting in the carriage, Sima Yi watched the third younger brother's back gradually disappear into the Pingyuanhou Mansion with a deep courtyard and many doors.

In the Furen Hall where Pingyuan Hou Cao Zhi usually received Confucian friends, Sima Fu walked up to Cao Zhi with tears in his eyes, and said straight to the point: "I have no virtue or incompetence to assist you. I am here to resign today. I beg you Hou Enzhun."

Cao Zhi was shocked, and said: "Brother Sima, why is this so?" Sima Fu knelt down deeply, bowed his head and said, "I owe you the kindness of knowing each other. I really don't have the face to stay in the mansion of Junhou. I beg you Hou Yingying." Ding Yi stood aside, but calmly said: "Mr. Sima, don't blame yourself. Ding has convinced your second brother. His methods are so clever, even his own brother can be like a pawn If you use it, what can't you do? If you resign today, I'm afraid he taught you too?"

Sima Fu's face turned red immediately, and he buried his head deeply, not daring to face Ding Yi squarely.Cao Zhi persuaded: "Brother Ding's words are too harsh..."

"Hmph! The real harsh words are yet to come! Well, if we say goodbye today, we will never have a chance to sit together and talk freely. I will ask you to bring a few words to your second brother." .As a foreign minister, he secretly made a personal maidservant to the wife of the prime minister's mansion, and later murdered him to silence him. What is the intention of all this? Does he think Ding really doesn't know?" Ding Yi said coldly, "He This is using Mrs. Wang to influence Prime Minister Cao’s attitude on the matter of establishing an heir, just like Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei used Mrs. Huayang to influence Qin Xiaowen Wang’s heir! Your second brother’s ambition is really not small! He actually wanted to Be the second Lu Buwei! If conditions permit, he may even dare to imitate Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo. Unfortunately, his tricks cannot fool me. As long as Ding is around, he will never succeed in his scheme!"

Ding Yi's words were as sharp as a knife or a sword, forcing Sima Fu to kneel on the ground, sweating profusely, not daring to look up.When Ding Yi spoke up to this point, he paused for a moment, sighed deeply, and said, "You brothers of the Sima family are of one heart and one mind, and have joined forces to push General Zhonglang with five senses to the position of son, but now the Cao family is torn apart. , brother to brother. Confucius said: 'Do unto others what you do not want unto yourself' - Hey, but you are 'Do unto others what you do not want unto yourself'!"

Sima Fu just kowtowed repeatedly, speechless.

At this moment, Cao Zhi stopped drinking, persuaded Ding Yi, and said: "How can I blame Brother Sima for the matter of my brothers in the Cao family? Brother Ding, you don't need to say any more." Then, he walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently lifted him up. Sima Fu wiped away the tears from his face and asked him to sit down.

Cao Zhi also sat beside Sima Fu, and smiled lightly and innocently, like an innocent baby.He said leisurely to Sima Fu: "Don't blame yourself so much, as if this Marquis' failure to become the son of the world should be your big crime. Now the matter of establishing an heir has been settled. I finally feel at ease, and I am finally relieved." I no longer have to toss and turn every night because of the position of the son of the prince, which makes me very relaxed and happy-am I as stupid as Song Xianggong in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period? At the beginning, I was tempted like all ordinary people. Brother Ding..." He turned his head to look at Ding Yi, paused, and then said leisurely, "Brother Ding devoted all his energy to this battle without telling me. During the war, do you think I really don’t know? I know all about your secret chamber plots in Ding’s mansion. I didn’t stop it because I didn’t want to stop it.”

When Cao Zhi said these words, Sima Fu and Ding Yi were both stunned.Cao Zhi, who has always been indifferent to fame and wealth, has such a strong desire deep in his heart?This is really in line with the motto of Western philosophers more than 1000 years later: "Because I am a human being, I should have everything that people have." Yes, most people will understand this passage from a positive and positive perspective. .Because I am a human being, I should possess all the truth, goodness and beauty that humans possess.However, they may have overlooked that because you are a human being, you will also have all the false, evil and ugliness that human beings have.It's just that gentlemen of benevolence have suppressed these hypocrisy, evil and ugliness in the bud, but they can't eradicate these desires like weeds that grow in the bottom of their hearts when they reflect on themselves and ask themselves. Come out.Although Cao Zhi has both benevolence and virtue, he is no exception.However, when he said these words from the bottom of his heart, he felt that he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and his whole body and mind became extremely relaxed.
