Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 365
Ding Mi coldly blocked his gaze back: "Deng Shilang! Now that the enemy is in front of you, you should put away your thoughts of pity for beauty. The sooner we get rid of the 'double-sided elaboration' like Shen Liniang The cleaner it is! Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were all planted by Diao Chan back then—have you forgotten this lesson?"

When Deng Yang heard this, he couldn't help twisting his mouth in anger, and was about to refute, but He Yan pulled the corner of his sleeve, and Deng Yang resentfully held back his words.

Cao Shuang was also very impatient when he heard it, and stretched out his hands to press on both sides: "Oh! Ding Jun, Deng Jun, just died of a brothel girl, is it worth the two of you arguing about her? What a waste of life That's all. Don't argue, everyone, let's get down to business. Now the Sima Clan is really arrogant and very proud. I heard that Wang Su, He Zeng, Fu Gu and others are secretly trying to persuade Sima Yi to become the prime minister and give gifts As for the Jiuxi matter, how should we respond?"

In the middle of the field, it suddenly fell silent like a pool of stagnant water.Ding Mi, Deng Yang, and He Yan all frowned and thought hard, but they couldn't come up with any plan for a while.

Cao Shuang turned his attention to Huan Fan for help.Huan Fan stroked his beard and said: "Uncle Zhao, I tell you the truth, now you have lost your hope of conquering Shu, and you have Sima Yi embracing the victory in Huainan and taking advantage of it. Under the circumstances, it is really inappropriate to confront Sima's party head-on. Therefore, Uncle Zhao, you should be humble and self-confident, and the best policy is to stay calm!"

"Humble, humble, self-confident? Dr. Huan! The aggressiveness of others is approaching our door! What are you going to do to keep your elder brother humble and self-confident?" Cao Xun said angrily when he heard this He retorted, "If you keep procrastinating so lukewarmly, my elder brother will not escape the same fate as Wang Shun in the late Han Dynasty when he offered the seal to Wang Mang in the future!"

"Young Master Xun, worry too much. Uncle Zhao will not become the second 'Wang Shun'. After all, you still have the title of Gu Ming Assistant Minister stipulated in the last emperor's edict. This is something Sima Yi dare not ignore." Although Cao The words of the training were very harsh, but Huan Fan still seemed unfazed, and said calmly, "How old is Sima Yi this year? 66 years old! How old are you, Uncle Zhao! You are not yet 40 years old! As long as you If you are humble, self-confident, and blameless, Sima Yi will not be able to catch anything against you. Then, when Sima Yi finally grows old, you will be able to ascend to the position of Gu Ming's chief assistant, take full power, and control all of you. The courtiers who disagreed with the Great Wei were driven away..."

"But look at Sima Yi's old and hard-working spirit, I'm afraid he will live to be more than 80 years old like Taifu Zhong!" Cao Shuang curled his lips, and a few ugly wrinkles appeared on his face.

"Even if he can live to be a hundred years old, you must grit your teeth and endure it!" Huan Fan said deeply, "Uncle Zhao, after all, time is always on your side! He is destined to die in front of you!"

"However, Doctor Huan, Sima Yi and the others will never give us such a chance to wait patiently." Ding Mi sighed quietly, "Oh, 'the tree wants to be quiet but the wind is quicker'!"

Huan Fan twirled his beard silently, and after a long while, he slowly asked Ding Mi: "Ding Jun, have you come up with some countermeasures?"

"Ding has just realized something just now." Ding Mi shook his clothes, looked at him and Cao Shuang squarely, and said with bright eyes, "Actually, General Cao still has a trump card in his hand-first When Grand Sima Cao Gong was alive, he guarded the western borders and was famous in Guanzhong, and he made outstanding military exploits. General Cao, you can use his power to make a "splendid article"!"

"How to do it?" Huan Fan's pupils brightened.

Ding Mi's eyes were piercing, and he said politely: "Isn't it just a few days before the imperial court will go to the Taimiao and Emperor Gaozu Wen's Mausoleum to commemorate the grave? Ding will go back tonight and invite a few Yilang to join in the petition to ask for His Majesty's favor." Brigadier General Cao Gong, the first great Sima, is included in the Taimiao for sacrifice!"

"Hmm...to include my late father in the Taimiao for the sacrificial ceremony?" Cao Shuang blushed slightly.Unexpectedly, today I would still gnaw at my father's marshal Cao Zhen's old foundation-it is ridiculous and lamentable to use the glory of my father's marshal's merits to brighten my image and enhance my reputation!
Huan Fan's expression was also faintly stagnant: this Cao Zhen was in charge of Xijiang during his lifetime, although he had confronted the Shu thieves many times, he did not have any outstanding feats, so how can he borrow much glory from him?However, when things come to an end, there should be such a move for this move, it's just better than nothing.Then he nodded slowly and said: "It is feasible to include Cao Gong, the first great Sima, as a sacrifice in the Taimiao to publicize your origin, Uncle Zhao. Maybe it can also win the hearts of some scholars and people. The old man recalled that until now So far, among the nobles and ministers of our court, only the former Great General Xiahou Dun, the former Great Sima Cao Ren, and the former Suhou Chengyu were included in the Taimiao to enjoy sacrifices. However, this time, if it is really necessary to include the former Great Sima Cao Gong If the Taimiao deserves to enjoy sacrifices, it should not be too explicit. According to Huan, it is better to include the former general Xia Houshang, the former Sikong Chen Qun, and the former Taiwei Huaxin. In fact, Sima Yi's Father Sima Fang, the former King of Jingzhao Prefecture, and elder brother Sima Lang, the former Lord Mu of Yanzhou can also be brought into the Taimiao..."

"The old general Xia Houshang, the old Sikong Chen Qun, the old Taiwei Huaxin, etc. are all included in the Taimiao to enjoy sacrifices. Why should the father and elder brother of the old man Sima be brought in?" Cao Xun looked unhappy. He said eagerly, "Uncle Huan—won't your doing this make Sima Yi's face more radiant?"

"However, General Cao, if you want to push Sima Yi's father and elder brother out of your way, you will definitely show others your narrowness and give them a handle!" Huan Fan frowned and said very seriously, "This will make Sima Yi's father and elder brother stand out!" Outsiders look at it and think it's unfair, untrue, and thus underestimate the fairness and prestige of the court sacrificial commemoration ceremony..."

"Oh! Fairness, prestige, etc. are too far away! We included the first great Sima Cao Gong in the Taimiao to enjoy the sacrifice commemoration. It was originally to add luster to the faces of the great generals!" Deng Yang was also quite dissatisfied. Impatiently yelled at Huan Fan, "Doctor Huan, you still want to bring Sima Fang and Sima Lang in. Didn't you mess up your own wonderful move! Deng's opinion is that you really want to bring Sima Fang and Sima Lang in." To prevent the two of them from getting in, it's better not to engage in this troublesome 'deserving to enjoy the sacrificial commemoration ceremony'!"

"You... why are you so narrow-minded and shallow?" Huan Fan couldn't help being really angry when he heard the words, staring at Cao Xun and Deng Yang, he flicked his sleeves and left the table angrily, " It's really 'the inadequacy of the scorpion'! Uncle Zhao and Ding Jun, you should carefully weigh and think about it for yourself! This is what the old man said, so you can do it yourself!"

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave angrily.

"This... this... Uncle Huan, you... just wait..." Cao Shuang called hurriedly, but he couldn't stop calling him, and his face showed a bit of displeasure, "Why is this Uncle Huan like this? Alone!"

"Brother! Is this the first time you know that old man Huan is such a weird person?" Cao Xun's cheek muscles twitched a few times, "He just likes to rely on the old to sell the old..."

When Deng Yang heard Huan Fan scolding him as a "Zhuzi", he also secretly hated him, so he fanned the flames: "Oh! General Cao, you respect old man Huan too much, so that you let old man Huan The tail is almost going up to the sky! Deng can’t bear to see you because of the general! Do you know the general? This old man Huan recently wrote a strange story and spread it everywhere..."

"What strange words? How could Uncle Huan say such strange things?" Cao Shuang asked in astonishment, "Deng Jun, don't talk nonsense!"

"The content of his strange words is as follows: 'Catching a giant fish does not make a baby hesitant, and it is impossible to kiss him.' General, can't you hear the wit in his words?" Deng Yang Said coldly.

He deliberately teased Cao Shuang so deeply, thoughtfully and excerpted sentences, no matter how much Cao Shuang trusted Huan Fan, his thinking was immediately misled.Therefore, Cao Shuang understood the subtle meaning of this "strange saying" in this way: "fishing for giant fish" is a metaphor for "receiving orders and assisting the state affairs"; the so-called "baby" may be used by Huan Fan to imply I satirized myself, and criticized myself for being too young and too shallow.Thinking of this, Cao Shuang felt uncomfortable as if a fishbone had been stuck in his heart. He gritted his teeth and waved his sleeves: "That's all! Don't worry about what the old man thinks! Ding Jun, it's up to you In my opinion, how should this matter be decided!"

Ding Mi understands that Huan Fan's advice is right intellectually, but personally, he can't accept that the father and elder brother of Sima Yi, who killed his brother and enemy, should be deserving of worship and worship, so he is unwilling to support Huan Fan's suggestion. So he murmured slowly and said: "Doctor Huan's words are not unreasonable. But from another point of view, if Sima Fang and Sima Lang are really brought into the Taimiao to enjoy the sacrificial commemoration, it is indeed difficult to guarantee Sima Yi He will take this opportunity to steal the show, but instead use his father and eldest brother as a splendid article for his Sima family!"

"Well...Ding Jun is right, I will act according to your opinion!" Cao Shuang's expression froze, and he finally settled down.Hearing the word splendid article in Ding Jun's mouth, he seemed to think of something again, turned his head to look at He Yan and said, "Master He, speaking of making a fuss, this general would like to ask you a few days ago Have you finished the draft of the splendid article?"

He Yan smiled lightly: "Is that article? He has already finished it, and he is letting his servants copy and compile it and then spread it out."
