Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 203
Cao Zhi continued to say frankly: "In fact, like my elder brother, I am eager to ascend to the position of the prince and realize my ambition of 'pacifying the world and helping the world and the people'. However, I also know that I should not compete with my elder brother for this position." , because it should have belonged to my elder brother. I hesitated, and never dared to look at my elder brother's eyes every time. There were so many complex emotions in those eyes, anxiety, longing, pain, pleading, jealousy... I know, sometimes I just need to muster up the courage, be frank, and openly say to my brother: "Brother, I will never fight with you." Then, maybe none of this will happen. But, After all, I failed to say this sentence. Maybe... maybe... In the future, I will pay the price for not being able to say this sentence. I am also a mortal after all!"

Sima Fu was sobbing so hard, he choked up and said, "Pingyuan Hou's heart is as clear as water, and he can learn from the sun and the moon. Sima Fu is ashamed that he can't do it!"

Cao Zhi seemed a little tired after talking so much at once, and said slowly: "Brother Sima, from the perspective of being a fellow brother, this Marquis understands everything you have done for your second brother. This Marquis will never blame you Yes. I only hope that after you bid farewell to the Marquis’s Mansion today, you will continue to exchange poems and essays with Ben Hou… Ben Hou really doesn’t want to lose such a loyal and faithful friend like you…”

Sima Fu got up slowly, with his hands drooping, his head buried, his tears covered, silent, and he walked out of Furen Hall backwards, out of this beautiful place where he and Cao Zhi sang poems and essays, full of fun.Going out from this day, it was not until more than fifty years later, when Sima Fu was over ninety years old and was named the most honorable Anping Xianwang of the Jin Dynasty, that he returned to this place with the support of his children and grandchildren.However, Cao Zhi had passed away for many years at that time.On that day, the elderly Sima Fu pushed back all the others and stayed alone in Furen Hall without returning.When he returned to the mansion the next day, he left a suicide note that was very embarrassing for the emperor and ministers of the Jin family to read, and then passed away suddenly.The suicide note reads:

Now there is Sima Fu, a loyal minister of Wei State, Hanoi County, who can't establish a country like Yi Yin, can't help Mingjun like Zhou Gong, can't eat Zhou Su like Boyi, and can't do Liu Xiahui like Liu Xiahui Retire cleanly.Those who have no merit to the country, no virtue to friends, and no kindness to the people should abandon themselves in the wild loess and be buried like a commoner Confucian scholar.

It is not only a summary of my life, but also the most sincere explanation from the bottom of my heart to Cao Zhi and Ding Yi who are under the nine springs.

Sima Yi, who was waiting outside the gate of the mansion, finally saw his third brother come out with his head buried in tears, and his heart felt at ease.But seeing the third brother sitting in the carriage as soon as he got into the carriage, he sat silently, crying like a fountain, sobbing silently.The more he suppressed his grief, the more he sobbed.He seems to be using his life's tears to commemorate the sincere friendship between himself and Yuanhou Cao Zhi.

The carriage galloped forward for about a cup of tea, and finally, Sima Fu asked Sima Yi, sobbing with tears in his eyes: "Second...Second brother, since you have such talent, and the third son is such a virtuous man, Why don't you help him become the son? In fact, the third son can also become me... Our choice!"

Sima Yi just looked at him quietly without answering.Assisting Cao Pi and suppressing Cao Zhi is a key part of our Sima family's "emergence of a sudden force and turning the world around".We can only implement it gradually and irrevocably according to such a plan, where is there any other choice?If it is really necessary to assist Cao Zhi as the heir, then the painstaking efforts of several generations of my Sima family over the past few decades will become a big joke.

Seeing Sima Yi's indifferent expression, Sima Fu seemed to understand something, covered his cheeks again, and began to cry "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

Sima Yi, who has always been good at eloquence, did not persuade him, but just raised his eyes and looked at the passing scenery outside the car window, feeling lost.We are all on the road, but we don’t know how much true love we lost on the way we came; we are all struggling, but we don’t know how much innocence is abandoned under our armor... Just now I watched Sima Fu say goodbye to Cao Zhi with tears As for the sad situation, Sima Yi's eyes were already secretly wet.But at this moment, Sima Yi, who slowly recovered his rock-like stern expression, was already asking himself in his heart: Why was I so fragile just now, and even almost shed cheap tears?Perhaps it was because he watched the third younger brother kill his friendship with his own hands, or maybe it was a kind of guilt for hurting the recognized unparalleled virtuous Marquis Pingyuan, or maybe it was because he should have cried for this heir-making struggle?However, such vain tears are of no benefit to me.I never needed to cry.Tears are a sign of mediocrity, tears are a sign of weakness, and tears are a gesture of incompetence.Remember, a truly strong person has a big mind to accommodate all emotions; a strong will to control all emotions; a clear mind, but will never be disturbed by any emotion.And the third brother's tears today, isn't it a compulsory course for him to get rid of the past and mature?Thinking of this, Sima Yi slowly closed his eyes to regain his composure, and let Sima Fu's low sobs be blown away in the wind.

Poison Cao Cao
In the secret room of Wei Guoshizi's mansion, candlelight flickered, and in the shadows of the buildings, Cao Pi, Mrs. Wang and Sima Yi sat together and talked.

Mrs. Wang said: "My son is now accomplished, gratifying and congratulatory. My concubine wishes the son to ascend to the throne early and make great achievements again." Cao Piqian thanked him unceasingly, and said: "This is the result of my wife's secret assistance. Cao Pi will repay it in the future. Tonight Cao Pi asked his wife to move over here because he really has something important to discuss."

"What is there to discuss?" Mrs. Wang was startled.But Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Madam congratulated the son just now, it was a little too early. Madam thought that now that Qingfu is dead, Yang Xiu has been punished, and the man of five senses will be promoted to the son, you can sit back and relax Didn’t it? During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ju was in power for more than ten years. He was humble, benevolent and filial, and blamed for everything. Wasn’t he abolished in the end because of traitors’ slander?”

Mrs. Wang and Cao Pi were shocked when they heard this.Cao Pi said: "Brother Sima's words are too sharp, and I am terrified when I hear them. But I don't know what good advice Sima Jun has for you?"

Sima Yi didn't say a word, his face was serious, he stood up, kowtowed to the ground slowly, kowtowed and said: "I do have a strategy in my chest, but I am afraid that if this strategy is implemented, the world will be denounced as treason. I dare not speak nonsense."

"Speak!" Cao Pi said seriously, "If you say anything tonight, I will forgive you and listen carefully."

Sima Yi still prostrated himself on the ground without saying a word.He knew that some words, once uttered, would shock the world and anger ghosts and gods, and once spoken out, they would never be taken back.Moreover, the most correct strategy is often a dangerous strategy, and it is also often the most difficult to talk about.Such a strategy, if you offer it to a wise and wise ruler, will be a great success; if you offer it to a mediocre and stupid king, you will bring yourself a disaster of death.Therefore, Sima Yi was hesitating in high tension at this time, and he dared not speak for a long time.At that time, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, with his dignified son of heaven, and a hundred thousand soldiers, was trapped in Baideng Mountain by the Xiongnu army, unable to break out of the encirclement.His military adviser Chen Ping had no choice but to offer a plan and bribed the queen of the Huns Maodun Shanyu with a lot of money, so that he was able to flee back with his head in his arms.Think about it, with Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was a heavenly emperor through the ages, he had to follow other people's "lady's route" in a low voice like some corrupt officials in later generations to save his life.Such a strategy cannot be planned by Chen Ping, and cannot be adopted by Liu Bang.However, such a strategy is so correct, so dangerous, and so unspeakable!With Cao Pi's talents, he can tolerate such a strategy?Can you tolerate such a counselor?Can you tolerate the accusations and ridicule brought to you by adopting such a strategy?
Sima Yi was not sure about this.He still held his breath and knelt on the ground as if he was dead, never saying a word.

With a "plop", Cao Pi actually knelt down to Sima Yi, and said tearfully: "Brother Sima, every time you stood up when Cao Pi was most isolated, helpless, and difficult, and made Cao Pi turn around again and again." For victory, you have reached the position you are in today. Cao Pi has long regarded you as the most trustworthy and reliable life-and-death friend in his life. What can we not say between us? Brother Sima, please speak bluntly, Cao Pi will definitely obey his orders! "

Sima Yi was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "Since this is the case, I will risk my life to speak out! For the current plan, if the son wants to have a safe journey, the only way is to ascend to the throne as soon as possible; if the son wants to ascend to the throne quickly, the only way is to Try every means to prevent Wei Guogong from staying in the big position for a long time."

"What?" When Cao Pi heard this, he was like thunder, "You, you...your plan is to murder your father..." Mrs. Wang also screamed, and hurriedly covered her mouth in shock.
