Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 346 Wisdom eliminates dissidents, Sima Yi is the third minister who entrusts Gu to assist the government (7)
Sima Yi nodded slowly, looked at Zhang Chunhua and said: "Ma'am, you are right, the key to my Sima family being better than his Cao family is here: Thank you, Madam, for helping me educate my husband Ziyuan and Zishang." These two sons are enough to inherit the great achievements of our Sima family. Therefore, as a husband, you can safely become King Wen of Zhou, and Ziyuan and Zishang can also be King Wu of Zhou in the future... Cao Cao wants to learn from King Wen of Zhou. There is no successor, but as a husband, I will definitely become King Wen of Zhou and celebrate the descendants of Kun!"

Zhang Chunhua's eyes slowly turned red, and he said with tears in his eyes: "For 30 years, my husband has overcome obstacles and expanded the territory for the Cao family, but today he is still resigned to the position of Taifu and insists on being humble. Cao Mengde has the patience to do it." Is it? Cao Mengde has worked hard for the Han court for more than ten years, and he can't wait to abolish the three princes and serve as the sole prime minister. People can see through his intentions at a glance. Thinking about it now, it is really superficial!"

"His superficiality finally made him pay a heavy price!" Sima Yi replied slowly, but his thoughts were relaxed: After Cao Cao was promoted to prime minister and monopolized power, his ambition to usurp the Han and stand on his own was fully exposed. Therefore, it immediately attracted the open attacks and plots of loyal and loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, such as Xun Yu, Xun Lingjun, Yang Biao, Yang Taiwei, Wang Lang Wang Situ, Taizhong doctor Kong Rong, and finally failed to settle the world and achieve great achievements amidst many constraints. .So, looking back at myself, what kind of opponents will I face now that I have become the chief minister of Gu Ming?Looking at it now, it should be the group of Huan Fan, Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan, He Yan and others.However, Sima Yi knew how to deal with them: Although Huan Fan was resourceful, he was always upright and upright, so he was far less popular and responsive than Xun Lingjun; They are in the prime of life, but they are all weak in virtue and talent, and their prestige in the ruling and opposition parties is quite low, and they have little appeal among the famous scholars.Therefore, Sima Yi secretly rejoiced that the resistance he faced when he became "King Wen of Zhou" should be much smaller than that of Cao Cao at that time.

However, can I really rest easy?Sima Yi has never been so blindly optimistic.He suddenly remembered something, turned to Zhang Chunhua and asked: "Ma'am, my husband heard that Ding Mi, a rookie from the Ding family in Guanzhong, was unexpectedly promoted by Deng Yang to be the secretary of Shangshutai? What's so strange about this?" ?"

"Hey... Ding Mi is also a hard-headed person. Over the years, my concubine asked Steward Yin to use various relationships and methods to win him over, but he was unmoved. Make up your mind." Zhang Chunhua sighed deeply, "Husband, you are still too soft-hearted, just say 'talent is rare', and insist on not letting us kill the grass and root it out--now he is finally getting into Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan's group I finally found a chance to embarrass our Sima family."

"Ma'am, you're wrong—my husband has been secretly looking forward to this day from the bottom of my heart!" Sima Yi didn't answer, but squeezed his knuckle-knit palms like bursting chestnuts: how do you know? ——If Weifu lacked some powerful opponents like him in his life, wouldn't it be too boring and boring?It's good to keep Ding Mi and the others to exercise their muscles and skills!In this way, you will stimulate your vigorous fighting spirit and energy, and you will not let yourself grow old too quickly!

Those who care about the changes in the court situation are actually not only the Sima family and the old relatives and nobles of Wei Shisu.In the secret room in the backyard of Zhongfu in Xifang, Luoyang, the two brothers Zhong Yu closed the door and were discussing in private.

"Unexpectedly, Sima Yi was also promoted to the position of Grand Tutor, where my father used to be!" Zhong Yu sighed quietly to his younger brother Zhong Hui, "The prophecies that my father told us before his death have come true one by one. This Sima Yi almost has Cao Cao, the emperor of Taizu Wu, had everything he had during his lifetime - mastering all opportunities, commanding the military and government, enjoying the special gift of not going to the court, not being famous in praise, and going to the palace with swords. The prime minister's gone!"

"Yes! With the rise of Sima's power in the court," Zhong Hui asked slowly, "Brother, don't you think that the current court situation is actually very similar to that of the Han and Wei Dynasties in the past? You Have you figured out how to deal with it now?"

Zhong Yu lowered his eyebrows, lowered his face, and said in a low voice: "My Zhong family has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the Great Wei Dynasty. The worry of the cannibal, the death of the cannibal'——when the political situation is changing, does my Zhong family have any other choices?"

"Brother, you are wrong. In fact, my Zhong family still has other choices." Zhong Hui used his fingers to "dunk" the time on the table in front of him. Our Zhong family has managed our relationship with the Sima family and the Cao family wholeheartedly... Don’t you see, big brother——now our Zhong family happens to be in a detached position of 'the right and the left'?!"

"However, the Sima clan defied the superior with the humble, used the ministers to offend the emperor, and suppressed the superior. This is simply a 'boat against the trend'! Following them, the Sima clan, is too risky!" Zhong Yu still frowned, melancholy And answer.

Seeing that Zhong Yu's tone finally loosened a bit, Zhong Hui continued to talk: "Brother, my father once said before his life that there are only three people he admires most in his life. One of these three people is a big man who respects Hou Xunyu, he He is good at convincing people with virtue but people cannot bear to commit crimes; the second is Cao Cao, the Taizu Wu Emperor, who is good at persuading people with prestige but people dare not commit crimes; the third is Sima Yi, who is good at persuading people with wisdom but people cannot commit crimes. Nowadays, people cannot bear to commit crimes Xun Lingjun and Emperor Wu, the great ancestor who no one dared to offend, have passed away. Who else in the world would be the opponent of Taifu Sima, who no one dared to offend? Even Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister of Western Shu, was dragged to death by him in front of the gate of the country. Besides, is there any difficulty that he can't overcome?"

Zhong Yu's eyes rolled a few times quickly: "Are you so sure that Sima Yi will be the last big winner in this world in the future?"

"Of course it is for sure." Zhong Hui looked directly at him and nodded solemnly, took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and spread it on the table, and said to Zhong Yu, "Brother, look, this is my younger brother." Over the years, some major government affairs have been secretly collected and recorded."

Zhong Yu probed over and took a look, only to see that what was written on the silk scroll was actually a concise chronicle, the content of which was:

In the spring of the 25th year of Jian'an in the previous dynasty, when Emperor Taizu Wu died, Sima Yi served as the head of the prime minister's mansion, the army Sima, and the prince Shaofu of the Wei Kingdom;

……

There is not much written on this silk, it just records sections of historical facts concisely.But between the lines, it clearly and unmistakably hints at how Sima Yi ascended to the throne of today's "uncrowned king" step by step.

"Brother, you..." Zhong Yu was in amazement, but Zhong Hui gently turned over the silk, pointed at the back of it, and said softly: "Brother, take a look at the content on this side again. .”

Zhong Yu looked intently at the sound, and saw the following content recorded on the back of the silk scroll:
