Chapter 385 Defeating Cao Shuang, Sima Yi monopolizes power (2)
The sound of "Dang Clang" was deafening.I saw sparks flying, stone chips scattered, the huge bluestone was split in two by Chen Jia's knife like a chopstick!
"Okay! Zhang Yi! Come up and perform your weight-carrying technique!" Shi Bao continued to shout without blinking her eyelids.

Another tall and thin dead soldier, Zhang Yi, led the order to step forward, picked up the two large bluestones that were split by Chen Jia with his left and right hands, and held them under his side respectively, as if holding two huge stones. burden.Then, as soon as he lifted his true energy, he jumped up, and with a "swipe", he flew up from the ground with a "swipe", flying up to a height of more than five feet in the air!Look at his skill, no matter how tall the city wall is, he can fly over it lightly and deftly!
"Good! Good! Good!" There was a burst of applause from the audience!
Shi Bao signaled again, and the third dead man, Liu Bing, walked out slowly with a half-man-high crossbow in his hand.He walked to a place seven feet away from one of the big bluestones, stretched out his ape arm, and pulled the fine steel bowstring like a full moon, and then released his finger, with a sound of "swish", a feathered arrow on the string shot like a beam of cold light. out!

When the sound of "Du" sounded, everyone looked intently—the feather arrow shot by Liu Bing was extremely sharp, and it penetrated into the hard and unusually hard edge of the big bluestone to a depth of more than six inches!
……

After the eight hundred dead warriors of the Dragon Riding Heavenly Army showed their martial arts and light kung fu one by one, Shi Bao showed a very satisfied smile on his face, and said clearly and clearly: "Very good! You brothers are really skilled and skilled. , lived up to the high expectations of the Taifu! We have lived in seclusion in the countryside for the past few years, trained hard and worked hard, and finally we have truly grown into the "Yitian Shenjian" to help Taifu wipe out all treacherous and treacherous bandits! Now the dawn is in sight, and more Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, make persistent efforts, and strive to make one against ten, one against a hundred, one against a thousand in the future decisive battle with the rebels and traitors, and make an immortal contribution to Tai Tuo!"

"Yes!" The eight hundred dead warriors of the Dragon Riding Heavenly Army replied loudly in unison, the voices were so neat that they seemed to come from the same person's mouth at once.

"What? Lu Xun was forced to death by Sun Quan's edict?"

When Sima Yi heard the news from Sima Zhao, he couldn't help being shocked, and even raised his beard and beard!

Sima Zhao looked at his father squarely, with his tone still as calm as water, and continued to report: "Father, Sun Quan also issued an edict to kill the false Wu prince Fu Wucan. One of the crimes is that he communicated with Lu Xun without authorization. Moreover, Lu Xun's nephew Gu Tan, Gu Cheng, Yao Xin, etc. were all exiled to the frontier for the crime of privately attaching to the prince. The grandson of the false Wu prince and himself also submitted a request to resign from the East Palace to Sun Quan..."

"Sun Quan is still clearing away the obstacles for his heir to succeed to the throne and the country will last forever!" Sima Yi sighed deeply, and pointed out sharply, "Zhaoer! Can you see clearly that Sun Quan is always sitting on the throne?" The faction of Lu Xun, who is upper-class and guarding Wuchang, has completely emptied the puppet Wu political arena! Sun Quan, like his father, is an old man in his seventies, and Lu Xun is only 62 years old this year. Sun Quan is worried that he will never If he dies suddenly in front of Lu Xun, his heirs will have difficulty controlling Lu Xun, who has achieved great feats and unparalleled status.

"Father, don't you often tell your children that Lu Xun is a famous minister of pure Confucianism, whose loyalty to the emperor and wisdom of seeking the country are hardly inferior to Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu? Sun Quan is so wise, why not entrust Sun He to him to assist in governing the country? Wouldn’t it be good for the country to be appointed by the virtuous? Could it be that Sun Quan was not as good as the Wen Emperor Cao Pi? Before Cao Pi died, he knew that the Ming Emperor Cao Rui was left alone to your father!” Sima Zhao asked a little puzzled.

"Hehehe... Zhao'er, there is an old saying: 'When things change, things change.' When Emperor Wen was dying, why was he willing to entrust Gu Yu to be his father? It was because Lu Xun came from Jingzhou to commit crimes in the east, and there was a crime in the west. Zhuge Liang stared at him covetously, so he had no choice but to leave a will, thinking that his father was the assistant minister! But now, Sun Quan looks around the sea and thinks that Liu Chan in Western Shu is mediocre and has no ambitions. In the Great Wei, Cao Shuang is in power and the country is declining, so he is gone. The sense of crisis of "be wary of the neighbors, the enemy is at hand", that's why he was ruthless and forced Lu Xun to death to clean up the family's internal troubles! Speaking of which, Sun Quan is still cutting off foreign enemies for my Sima family! It seems that for the father It's really a big profit to pretend to be sick and retire once!"

Sima Yi slowly stroked the long silver beard under his chin, and smiled deeply: "Sun Quan counted and counted, defending east and west, how could he have expected that my Sima family was hidden in the nine heavens and rose at the last moment?" The biggest winner!"

"Father's words are so insightful, my son really admires them." Sima Zhao nodded and said, "But, for some reason, my son still can't help feeling deeply sorry for the fate of a generation of sage minister Lu Xun..."

"Zhao'er is very satisfied as a father with such a love for talents and talents. Lu Xun is indeed a famous official of a generation of pure Confucianism. His loyalty to the emperor and wisdom in planning are almost as good as Zhuge Liang. These are not as good as his father's. You will be wrong. In fact, Sun Quan understands it very well in his heart." Sima Yi's tone suddenly became heavy, and he cast his deep eyes from the window to the far south, "However, the hearts of emperors are extremely selfish. In order to maintain his supremacy, as long as anyone is capable and powerful enough to pose a threat, he will definitely regard it as an enemy without hesitation, even if it is his compatriots, siblings, flesh and blood, confidantes, and relatives. Cut it off! Sun Quan was also wise once before, how much he trusted Lu Xun during the Yiling War! As the lord, he actually surrendered himself to hold Lu Xun's bridle to strengthen his prestige, and personally bestowed on him the yellow axe. right!

"However, the current situation has changed, and Sun Quan's mentality has also changed. Even if Lu Xun's loyal contributions are all there, Sun Quan will no longer believe him! In fact, Sun Quan no longer even believes in himself. Now, would he still believe in Lu Xun? The power of the eight handles of "jue, lu, yu, zhi, sheng, seize, abolish, and punish" in the "Ninth Five-Year Supreme" has already fascinated Sun Quan's eyes! Zhao'er ——Leave the words here for the father, the tragedy of the court power struggle caused by the establishment of an heir in the puppet Wu is far from over! If Sun Quan doesn't even believe Lu Xun, a loyal and loyal confidant Will he still believe that Sun He, the prince of the East Palace whose wings were cut off by him? Will he still believe that Sun Ba, the King of Lu who forced his brother to seize his heir? In his subconscious mind, he may also be deeply afraid of Sun He and Sun Ba I'm afraid that one day they will force their father to abdicate like the son of Duke Huan of Qi..."

"Father...Father! You...what you revealed is really chilling!" Sima Zhao sighed tremblingly.

"Zhaoer—so, my brothers and grandchildren of the Sima family must not imitate their Jiangdong Sun family's frenzied cannibalism!" Sima Yi stared at him and said deeply, "As long as my brothers and grandchildren of the Sima family If we can unite with sincerity, complement each other, and work together, there is absolutely no enemy we cannot defeat! There is absolutely no difficulty we cannot overcome! Zhaoer—do you understand?"

Sima Zhao was sweating profusely when he heard it, he fell to his knees with a "plop" and respectfully replied: "My lord father has taught me that my child will always abide by the principles of filial piety and brotherhood, always put the great cause of the ancestors first, and never give birth in vain. Disagreements, do your best to assist father and elder brother to achieve great things for thousands of years!"

Sima Yi smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently supported him: "Zhao'er, I believe in you for my father—I will always believe in you for my father."

Then, he quietly stared at Sima Zhao's bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through to the deepest part of his eyes, and said slowly: "Lu Xun was forced to commit suicide by Sun Quan out of suspicion. My father was deeply shocked. You don’t know, when my father was at Zhao’er’s age, I secretly wanted to emulate pure Confucian ministers like Xun Yu and Lu Xun, so that I would never regret my death by being loyal to the king. My father once I also envied that Lu Xun was lucky enough to meet such a wise confidant as Sun Quan! Did you know?

"However, today, as a father, I finally saw Lu Xun's final fate at the end of this road. The wise and open-minded Sun Quan, the loyal and wise Lu Xun, these kind of friends between monarchs and ministers who love fish and water, unexpectedly ended in such a sad ending The end! From then on, Weifu resolutely decided to lead you to abandon all these fantasies and distracting thoughts from now on, and uphold our Sima family's great ambition of "emerging suddenly, turning the world around, monopolizing the world, and unifying Liuhe" from generation to generation, and continue to reach the pinnacle!"

imminent
On the ninth day of December in the ninth year of Zhengshi, Henan Yin Lisheng, who was about to go to Jingzhou to take up the post of governor, handed in a letter of worship to Taifu's mansion, claiming that he wanted to come to the mansion to visit Sima Taifu's illness.

Sima Yi had already received a secret report from Yang Zong and Yu Song. Although the six Cao Shuang brothers had been confused by the auspicious miracle of "six mushrooms with the same root and abundant springs emerging" on the tomb of Gaoping Mausoleum, they decided to go to visit together to confirm this auspicious omen. But after all, he was still a little worried about Sima Yi who was sick at home, so he sent Li Sheng to find out the truth about Sima Yi's illness on the grounds of saying goodbye and visiting the sick.He pondered for a moment, and then asked Sima Zhao to take the invitation to bring Li Sheng in to meet him.

Under the leadership of Sima Zhao, Li Sheng entered Taifu's mansion, led through several gates, passed through several gardens, and came to a jingshe in the deep part of the mansion in a detour.He looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the door, named "Zhengxin Hall", which took the meaning of ancient and modern sages and sages who "sincerely cultivate one's morality, cultivate one's character, govern one's family, rule the country and the world".Sima Zhao pushed open the room door for him in front of him with a full face of humility, and bowed to send him into the room, but he himself stood outside the door and dared not enter without permission.

As soon as Li Sheng entered the Zhengxin Hall, he could smell the strong and somewhat pungent smell of boiling herbal medicine in the air. He couldn't help frowning and slapped his nose a few times with the corner of his sleeve.

But he saw an old man in red robe with gray beard and hair sitting up on the couch in the room supported by two maidservants, with a haggard face and dull eyes, he turned out to be Grand Tutor Sima Yi!

Li Sheng hastily stepped forward to greet him.That Sima Yi's cloudy old eyes lit up, his face wrinkled into layers of smiles, humming, waving and beckoning, looking very happy, but his words were somewhat vague, But it can also be heard that he is greeting him.At that moment, his heart trembled faintly. He never imagined that Sima Zhongda, the generation of "God of War" who conquered all over the world and conquered the world, would be so old. It's really pitiful!
He was deeply moved, sat down at the guest table, and cupped his hands to Sima Yi, saying: "I want to report to the Grand Tutor, Li has recently been favored and recommended by the General, and will soon return to the state as a shepherd. The Grand Tutor has been in Jingxiang for many years, if you can enlighten me, Li will be very grateful."
