Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 325
"Master, listen. Wisdom is not enough to govern all things, benevolence is not enough to benefit all people, wisdom is not enough to illuminate all opportunities, majesty is not enough to destroy all difficulties, and merit is not enough to show off all generations. This is what I am deeply ashamed of. Apart from this, there is nothing that can make Wei father feel ashamed. If they want to ridicule Wei father, they have to let them go. As long as the real victory belongs to Wei father in the end, everything is insignificant!" Sima Yi Stopped the horse, turned his head to stare at him and spoke slowly.His expression was as deep as the sea, as calm as the sky, as if no wind or wave could disturb him a little.

Sima Shi's lips trembled, he didn't dare to chatter any more.

Sima Zhao also patted his horse from behind, and stood shoulder to shoulder with his elder brother. Looking at his father's solemn expression, he couldn't help holding back his breath and showing respect.

Sima Yi stared at the two of them deeply: "Are you two brothers confident that they can beat Jiang Wei in military tactics?"

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other, and answered resolutely, "Yes."

"That's it." Sima Yi closed his eyes slightly, turned the horse, and the voice came from the front, "Yizhou, I will leave it to the two of you to calm down in the future! I will also leave that miracle to you." The two of you will go to build it with your own hands in the future! I, the Sima family, have lived in Hanlu for 400 years, and I really can't be cruel as a father..."

While urging his horse forward, he raised his head to look at the pale yellow sky, and said silently in his heart: "Brother Kong Ming, Yi has treated you with the utmost benevolence and righteousness! You should rest in peace in the sky, right? Even if the fate is in my Sima As for the family, Yi is also determined to be Xibo Jichang, and he will never do anything flawed in his life! Yi will definitely not destroy the lineage of the Han Dynasty. As for the false emperor Liu Chan you are loyal to, will he be able to keep it in the future? You and Liu Bei have worked so hard to build this huge foundation for him, that is something that neither you nor I can control..."

Sima Yi set off again

"The imperial edict said: Sima Yi, the general and the governor of the Western Conquest, turned the tide, drove back the Shu bandits, killed the chieftain Zhuge Liang, and made great contributions. He was promoted to the rank of Taiwei, increased the number of households by three thousand, and immediately returned to Beijing alone to face the saint. The imperial court has entrusted me with another important task. I respect you!"

After the imperial envoy Xin Pi finished reading the imperial decree, he hurried forward to help Sima Yi, and said respectfully: "General! Your Majesty also asked Xin to send a message, please take care of your health, and don't miss it because of the slight wind and cold." State affairs! Your Majesty's favor to the general—now it's time to call you the Taiwei, and your majesty's favor to the Taiwei is beyond words!"

In fact, Sima Yi already knew what the "big task" that this imperial edict urgently called him to take over in Beijing was, but he deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Master Xin, please allow me to talk too much, I don't know that the imperial court has other important tasks entrusted to you in this imperial edict." ' What does that mean..."

"Does it need to be said? Right now Liaodong is in turmoil, and Shuofang is in flames. It's not because of you, the Taiwei, that you can't put it down in one fell swoop! Guanqiu Jian has already suffered a defeat in Jieshi..."

"So that's what happened!" Sima Yi pretended to suddenly realize, and said while stroking his beard.

"Master Taiwei, how did you think about the matter Xin asked Cui Lin Sikong to tell you half a month ago?" Sima suddenly looked at Sima Yi with bright eyes.

As soon as Sima Yi heard it, he understood the meaning of his words.Some time ago, Cui Lin contacted Xin Pi to sign his name and persuade him to join Jiuxi as the prime minister. Sim Pi readily agreed verbally, but at the same time, he asked Cui Lin to come forward as a matchmaker, wanting to marry his granddaughter Yang Huiyu Marry Sima Shi as his wife.

Sima Yi is very clear about the family origin of the Yang family in Taishan County, Yanzhou.Yang Xu was Taichang when he was Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was a member of the same dynasty as his father Sima Fang.Yang Xu was a clean and honest man, but he refused to bribe the eunuchs to buy officials back then, so his official career was difficult.Therefore, Sima Yi, who was also born in Qingliu, has always had a good impression of the Yang family in Taishan County from the bottom of his heart.Moreover, Simpi's son-in-law Yang Dan and his elder brothers Yang Qin and Yang Mi are all outstanding among the rising stars in the court today.The children who grew up under the influence of their family style of Confucianism and Chongwen should not be bad, right?Presumably that Yang Huiyu is as knowledgeable and courteous as Wang Yuanji, right?If I agree to this marriage, the two prominent families of Yingchuan Xin and Yanzhou Yang will be united with our Sima family, and it will add a lot of help to fight against the Cao family in the future.This is a great deal!When Sima Yi thought of this, he was determined, so he chuckled and said, "Okay! After returning to Beijing this time, I will handle this happy event between Shi'er and the Yang family."

Originally, Sima saw the rise of the Sima family in the current imperial court. Before that, he secretly heard that many officials and elders also wanted to persuade Sima Yi to join Jiuxi and Xiangxiang. He deeply felt that the future of the Sima family was limitless. It was only when Cui Lin came to the door to lobby that he threw out this plan of "curve marriage" with the Sima family, in order to maximize the preservation and expansion of his family's interests in the unpredictable changes in the court situation in the future.But as to whether Sima Yi is willing to accept this matter, in fact, he has always been uncertain, so he secretly broke into a cold sweat.Until now, when he heard Sima Yi agree so readily, he couldn't help being elated and nodded his approval again and again.After he calmed down, he casually talked about one thing: "That's right! Mr. Taiwei, you may not know that Liu Xie, the former emperor of the imperial court and the Duke of Shanyang, was in Chang'an two days before Xin's departure to Chang'an. Died suddenly in one night in three days..."

Sima Yi was shocked: "Shan... Duke Shanyang died suddenly?"

Simpi glanced around, leaned over and whispered to him, "There are rumors in Luoyang that he committed suicide after learning of the death of Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu."

When Sima Yi heard it, he immediately understood.yes!Zhuge Liang died, and the last hope of the great Han's revival was also shattered. So what if Liu Xie didn't commit suicide?He also didn't want to live in such a depressed mood!Thinking of the puppet emperor who had "ruled the world" in name for more than 20 years, and now leaving the stage so sadly, Sima Yi felt a faint sourness in his heart for some reason.After all, this man once made Kong Rong, Xun Yu, Yang Biao and others die for him!Perhaps, if he hadn't been born in this troubled world, and met a powerful official like Cao Cao, he might still become a generation of civilized monarchs!
"People outside say that Liu Xie is really stupid. If Zhuge Liang can really lead the army to Luoyang, will he still give up the throne of the Han Dynasty? Zhuge Liang will only help his pseudo-Shu Liu Chan to ascend to the throne." Simpi Shaking his head with a sneer on his face.

"Well... But Liu Xie must think so. If this great Han country falls into the hands of any of the Liu clan in Pei County, it will be better than falling into the hands of other outsiders! He Maybe he has been secretly waiting for the Zen seat to be given to Liu Chan again. However, now that his hope has been completely shattered, he committed suicide! Liu Xie is also considered a filial son and grandson of Han Gaozu Liu Bang!"

Sima Yi said so in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that he thought that Liu Xie and Cao Pi were third-rate figures in the political arena of the Three Kingdoms, but now it seems that Liu Xie's wisdom is far beyond Cao Pi.Cao Pi knew that the power of Wei would fall to his side in the end, but he refused to entrust the post of auxiliary government to his direct brother Cao Zhi. He really dug his own grave and was so stupid!

In the imperial palace bedroom in Jianye City of Eastern Wu, the continuous sound of rain outside the window kept beating on Sun Quan's state of mind, making him feel an inexplicable depression.

"Zhuge Liang is dead. Relying on the high mountains and natural dangers in Hanzhong and Jiange, the Shu Han may be able to temporarily block the attack of Wei thieves. However, this Sima Yi has also become the Taiwei of the puppet Wei. If he persuades Cao Rui to concentrate the whole country What should I do if I have more troops to deal with my Great Wu?" He asked the worried words to Lu Xun, the governor of the three armies of the Eastern Wu.

Lu Xun knelt on the cypress floor and bowed his head, "I can only refuse him with death!"

Sun Quan stared at him for a long time, before letting out a long sigh: "From now on, we will no longer be able to live comfortably like before. The Shu Han who lost Zhuge Liang will no longer be of any help to my great Wu Now! Now, I can only hope that Gongsun Yuan of Yan Kingdom in Liaodong can contain the false Wei from the rear."

"Your Majesty, Sun Yuan, the Duke of Yan State in Liaodong, is far inferior to Zhuge Liang in Shu Han. If he meets Sima Yi as an enemy, he will be in danger! He will definitely not be able to contain the false Wei from the rear. Your Majesty, don't send him any favors." The expectations are too high." Lu Xun gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but play solemnly, "Please forgive me for being so blunt, Your Majesty, you always hope to use others' strengths to help you all your life, and this will not last long! My lord If Wu really intends to compete in the Central Plains, there is no other way but to appoint talents and enable them, work hard to govern, and work hard to become stronger!"

Sun Quan looked at his expression with a straight face, and thought to himself, hehehe!The fox tail was finally exposed.You, Lu Boyan, keep saying that I want to "appoint talents and make them capable, and work hard to be strong", so you are clearly taking advantage of this trouble to reach out to me for power!What do you want so much autonomy to do?Do you also want to be the "Sima Yi" of my country of Wu?But at this moment, he couldn't openly quarrel with Lu Xun, so he said perfunctorily: "Bo Yan, you are right, I will seriously consider these suggestions of yours. I will entrust you with the important task of staying behind in Wuchang."

After watching Lu Xun exit the palace gate with his hands lowered, Sun Quan's face changed, and he immediately waved, and Sun Jun came up from under the dragon bed knowingly.Sun Quan stared coldly at the door of the palace room where Lu Xun withdrew, and asked, "Zhang Zhao..."

"Qizou Your Majesty, after Zhang Zhao heard the news of the sudden death of Liu Xie, the deposed emperor of the former Han Dynasty, he has been shutting himself up in the mansion under the pretext of illness," Sun Jun is so clever, he understood Sun Quan's implication at once, and played cautiously, " However, according to the report from the informer stationed in Zhang's residence by the Palace School Affairs Office, in fact, Mr. Zhang is secretly mourning for the deposed emperor Liu Xie for seven days."

Sun Quan listened, his thoughts turned darkly, Zhuge Liang died, Liu Xie died, and the last ray of hope for the Jiangdong gentry to return to the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty was completely cut off.In this way, they should completely turn around and vote for me, the Jiangdong Sun family, right?They should really subdue my great Wu royal family, right?Do they have other options?
While Sun Quan was thinking deeply, he waved his hand, making Sun Jun also retreat.

At this time, only he and Sun Deng, the prince of Wu, were left in the palace.
