Chapter 228 Sima Yi Takes Military Power for the First Time (5)
"Oh! How can these documents bother Mr. Sun to hand them over in person? I am really worried! Tomorrow, I will go to the Minister's Office to reprimand those officials who don't know how to be polite. These things should be entered by them. Gong to Zhongshu Sheng to get it from you! How could they be so negligent of their duties?"

"Master Sima, you don't need to reprimand them. They came to the Ministry of Education to pick up these documents at noon today. It was Mr. Sun who refused them, and he was willing to come and send them over."

As soon as Sima Yi heard it, he immediately guessed that this grandson must be "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing", but he was a little shy and refused to tell the whole story right away!He smiled lightly and said: "Oh...Actually, Sun Jun doesn't have to be so polite. Sun Jun came to Bi Mansion this time, do you have any military plans to discuss with me?"

It was not easy for Sun Zi to have such a "straightforward" substantive conversation as soon as he came up, so he first borrowed a word and said: "Master Sima, please forgive Sun for being rude-just now Sun was curious and flipped through it. The documents on your desk are almost all about the military and political information of the puppet Shu... Mr. Sima, you seem to be paying special attention to the military and political developments of the puppet Shu! Sun is really a little puzzled: Nowadays, almost everyone in the Wei Dynasty I think that after the fiasco of Yiling and the sudden death of Liu Bei, the puppet Shu has been seriously injured, so it is not a concern. But Sun Quan, who ruled Jiangdong, became king on his own, and showed off his might, is the chief enemy of our great Wei—the puppet Wu should be It is the most worthy of your attention, Master Sima!"

"Hmm... Sun Jun's words are not unreasonable. However, in my view, although the puppet Wu is indeed vast and powerful, and possesses the natural danger of the Yangtze River, its wealth and strength are far greater than that of the puppet Shu. But between the two thieves of Wu and Shu, in terms of sharpness and stamina, the pseudo-Shu must be superior to the pseudo-Wu! You may not know that Zhuge Liang, the current prime minister of the pseudo-Shu, is good at governing the country and good at strategy, and has always cherished the desire to swallow the world Ambition, you must not underestimate it! If he gathers together to recuperate and accumulate enough strength, he will definitely take advantage of the gap and use the power of the whole Shu to attack our Great Wei!"

"Oh? Lord Sima, aren't you scaremongering these words? As far as Sun knows, civil strife broke out in the Nanman Menghuo recently in the Puppet Shu Kingdom. Zhuge Liang is probably already in a hurry and unable to save himself at this moment. Difficulty?"

"Hehehe... There is a saying in the art of war, 'Those who want to expand the outside world must first solidify the inside; those who want to conquer the enemy must first consolidate the foundation; The chaos may have provided Zhuge Liang with an opportunity to train troops and integrate national prestige! Even though they are brave and good at fighting, how can they be the opponents of Zhuge Liang who is resourceful and changeable? Zhuge Liang will surely subdue him in the palm of his hands in the future! At that time, the real trouble for Da Wei came from behind..."

Sun Zi is also a man who is well versed in military tactics. Hearing Sima Yi's words, he couldn't help nodding his head secretly. Suddenly, his mind moved, and he said: "According to Master Sima, the fake Wu Sun Quan has an area of ​​thousands of miles and 30 troops. Is it really not as powerful as the pseudo-Shu Zhuge Liang who only relies on the power of one state?"

"The difference between the strong and the weak in the world lies in its reason, not in its power. Sun Quan is smooth and changeable, and his thoughts are based on planning the river to rule and separate Wu and Yue. The Central Plains region has been demagogic, and it cannot shake the foundation of the Great Wei. Therefore, it is difficult to become a deep worry for my Great Wei!

"On the contrary, Zhuge Liang, the pseudo-Shu, always sacrificed the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty and unifying Liuhe. Yan Han is my responsibility, this is my confidant's trouble in the Great Wei State! Therefore, defending Shu is more important than defending Wu, and attacking Shu is more important than attacking Wu. This is my consistent understanding. Sun Jun, do you understand now?"

When Sun Zi heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and sighed: "Sun remembers that Mr. Jinghou Xunlingjun once said, 'When the bud is not in motion and the signs are not seen, it is obvious that the opportunity of survival, the key to gain and loss, is forbidden Before this happens, the one who makes the lord stand in a place of glory and the world is beautiful is a holy minister.' Sir Sima has such great foresight, sagacity and strategy, he can really be called a "generation of holy minister" in our Great Wei Dynasty! Sun Mou It would be a great honor to stay by your side to listen to your teachings all the time!"

"Stay by my seat all the time to listen to the teachings? How can this be done?" Sima Yi immediately heard the meaning of Sun Zi's words, and laughed, "Sun Jun! Now you are by His Majesty's side, in the position of Zhongshu Provincial Power It is an important job to hear the wonderful theories of Jingguo and witness the splendid chapters of governing the world all the time. Wouldn’t it be far better to bury your head in trivial matters and indulge in tediousness in my minister’s desk? You really made fun of me..."

"How dare Sun dare to tease Lord Sima with his words?" Sun Zi's face straightened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Today, Sun came here to pay respects to Lord Sima. To be honest, I deeply hope that Lord Sima will read For the sake of friendship with Sun, who was a classmate of the Xun family back then, Shi gave a helping hand to coordinate and transfer Sun from the position of Zhongshuling!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Although Sima Yi had vaguely guessed his intention of coming, he was still surprised when he heard him say it himself, "How confidential is the mission of the Ministry of Education?" , Sun Jun, why do you want to transfer away?"

"Ah! Master Sima, you don't know something. There is such a proverb circulating in the official circles of the Great Wei Dynasty today, 'The title of the three dukes should be prominent but not necessary; the Shangshu pedestal should be prominent and necessary; How can the Book Department compare to your Shangshutai? To put it bluntly, we are just a group of small officials who help His Majesty send and receive documents, and copy and write. He also seldom asked us to help him draft... Once or twice, Sun was lucky enough to help him draft two or three imperial edicts, but he revised them beyond recognition with a pen—oh! That depressing energy, don’t mention it Sun feels so sad..."

Sima Yi slowly picked up the teacup, took a deep sip, then looked at him squarely, and said with sincerity: "These are aggrieved and depressed, Sun Jun, you will meet them no matter where you work. These words, you also I can only talk about it here in this seat, and you must not vent it easily outside! On the bright side, with Sun Jun's ability to strategize, plan and make good decisions, it is indeed a bit of a shame to be buried in the secretariat in the Ministry of Education Now! If you let it out casually, which minister can’t you do? However, Sun Jun, please listen to my blunt advice: Although the position of Zhongshu Ling is a low-ranking official, but he is in a military and political situation. In the jungle, there are more opportunities to exercise yourself! You must not underestimate yourself, you must remember to follow the example of your master Xun Lingjun and my brother Sima Zhushu, learn more, ask more questions, study hard, and you will have a great future in the future Yes. My lord, I will help you when the time is right... But if you insist on going at this moment, I am afraid that if your Majesty thinks of you differently, it will be a bit unbecoming. Sun Jun, you say, Yes or no?"

When Sun Zi heard Sima Yi's sincere words of encouragement, he felt a deep sense of gratitude in his heart. Hua Xin, Zhong Yao, and Chen Qun thought they were high and senior, so they never put themselves and Liu Fang in their eyes. inside?At best, I only think that I and Liu Fang are the two emperors' close servants and inner court officials... Only the Sima Pushe in front of me is always polite and respectful to himself and Liu Fang, and he doesn't ask for anything in return. Sincerity comes entirely from the heart.It seems that Sima Yi's popularity in the imperial court is very good, it really didn't come out of thin air!His popularity is good, and that's all because he treats people with mellowness, open-mindedness, and considerateness, and he will never win people's hearts by relying on small favors like other politicians!
"Actually, Mr. Sun has been working hard in the Zhongshu Ministry, but there is nothing he can't stand. It's just that Mr. Sun can't bear other people's deliberate arrogance and showing off! You may already know that the palace will soon Is a big event going to happen? Guo Guipin may be established as the imperial concubine in the next few days... This time, it is really "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven"! Guo Guipin's younger brother, Guo Biao, relies on his sister as the backer , From a small Huangmencheng before, he jumped to the position of Deputy Secretary of Shaofu Temple...Master Sima, you should know that the deputy secretary of Shaofu Temple is a rich 'fat man'! He is in In the position of Deputy Minister, he is in charge of the Quartet tributes and the treasures of the palace..."

When talking about some things in the palace, Sun Zi was full of complaints: "Oh! We worked so hard in Zhongshu Province, not only to be angry with His Majesty, but also to be angry with the elders of the 'Three Dukes'. Angered by some people in your Shangshutai, in the end, even the official rank and treatment are not as convenient as some people rely on nepotism! That's all, we should blame our own fate for everything... But that Guo Biao still ran away arrogantly one day He came to the Ministry of Education to show off to others, and triumphantly laughed at us as the "Wen Chaogong" sitting in the side room of the imperial study! Do you think this is annoying? Moreover, he brazenly boasted that he would soon be promoted to the second rank of Weiwei It's time for a new post... Thinking of this, Sun felt very depressed! Thinking about how selfless and talent-only the late emperor was when he was in power, how could such injustice and injustice happen today? !"

Sima Yi listened quietly to his nagging, his expression on his face was as deep as an abyss, but there seemed to be two icy blade-like cold lights flashing across his eyes...

Four days later, Cao Pi convened a meeting in the Changle Palace with the participation of officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing, and proposed two major issues: one was to make the noble concubine Guo Shi the queen of the palace, and the other was to plan to be Guo Guifei's younger brother Guo Biao. For the inner court guard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the palace exploded: Yilang Huanfan, Dr. Zhanqian, Dahongxi Xinpi and other ministers who directly admonished him first stood up and clearly expressed their opposition to Jin's establishment of the Guo family as the queen of the palace. He jointly submitted a rebuttal, the content of which is as follows:
In the rule of the world by the emperors in the past, not only external assistance, but also internal assistance;Therefore, Xiling was paired with Huang and Ying'e to descend to the concubine, and she was born with virtuousness and beauty.Jie ran to Nanchao, causing misfortune and concubines; Zhou burned with cannons, delighting Daji.Therefore, when the sages set up a concubine carefully, they must marry the family of the ancestors, and choose her to rule the six palaces, worship the ancestral temple, and teach Yin Xiu. "Yi" said: "Family morals are upright and the world is upright." From the inside to the outside, the decrees of the previous kings are also. "Spring and Autumn" book Zongren rebelled against Xia's speech: "No concubine is a gift for a wife." Qi Huan swore his life in Kuiqiu, and said: "No concubine is a wife." .If because of love to ascend to the empress, the sluts will be violent, and the ministers will be afraid that future generations will come down to the mausoleum to replace them, open up the law, and chaos will arise from the top, and the world will be ridiculed!
