Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 388 Defeating Cao Shuang, Sima Yi monopolizes power (5)
"Master Taifu, I came here this time to discuss something with you." Jiang Ji cupped his hands and said, "Master Taifu, you have been ill for two or three years now. You don't know, the temple Above is now full of young people, and the discipline is becoming more and more chaotic! I am deeply worried about the country! I respectfully ask Mr. Tai Tuo to do his best and spare no effort to take the chariot to the palace in the next few days, sit in the country, and preside over the grand plan! "

Sima Yi shook his head lightly, with a deep wry smile on his face.He slowly shifted his gaze to Sima Fu again.

At this time, Sima Fu was also bearded and bearded, and he said sadly: "Second brother! At present, people inside and outside the capital are in panic, and there are rumors everywhere that General Cao has ulterior motives and has ulterior motives. I heard that this time the six brothers will accompany the imperial driver together. Going to the Gaoping Mausoleum to participate in the sacrifice is to confirm the omen of the "six zhis with the same root, and the spring emerges". He, they even blatantly excluded almost all the old ministers such as me and the old Wangwang. Let me go to sacrifice the mausoleum together! Second brother, you must cheer up in time to stop them—otherwise, it will be too late!"

Wei Zhen also sighed deeply: "There is an old saying that when a country is governed, listen to the virtuous; when the country is in chaos, listen to the demons. General Cao has been overflowing with arrogance recently. He thinks that he can do whatever he wants by monopolizing power. The Principles of Principle and the principles of "Jiuqing's Participation in Politics and Co-governance" were trampled to pieces. In the entire temple, he was almost the only one left there to give orders and boss around... How is this a blessing for the country?"

Sima Yi looked at the three of them for a long time, and then said in a low and weak voice: "Jiang Jun, Wei Jun, and third brother, you think that I will go to the palace to stop you today, so what can I do? A while ago Is the Nian this seat still admonishing less? What effect does the verbal dispute have?"

"Could it be that we, as ministers of the Great Wei Dynasty, can only sit and watch Cao Shuang's misconduct for nothing?" Sima Fu couldn't help covering his sleeves and crying, "Second brother, you are really sick. It's not the time..."

Jiang Ji and Wei Zhen looked at each other, sighing and frowning.

Sima Yi observed them for a while, then slowly said: "Today, with the power of General Cao, he must swallow up the Wei family. Even if we want to learn from Bigan and Wu Yuan, how can he be so powerful?" In hand! Twenty years ago, he even sent Li Sheng to spy on me... Now I have no time to protect myself, so how can I easily go up to the court to stroke their beards!"

"Alas! Master Taifu, you don't know. Recently, there is such a proverb circulating in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City: Brother Cao Shuang is as hot as soup, and Sima and his son are as cold as jelly. , is also very sad!" Jiang Ji said with a stampede, "Could it be that Jiang has passed the ancient times in a certain year and was flawless in his previous life, but in the end he will lose his life and become a sluggish minister like Kong Guang at the end of the Han Dynasty?"

Wei Zhen also mourned and said: "If Cao Shuang really does something wrong, Wei will definitely wait for him with blood and die with him!"

"Hm...why come to this?" At this moment, Sima Yi's eyes flickered with icy light, suddenly showing a majestic and deep aura, which made Jiang Ji and Wei Zhen gasp.At this moment, the high-spirited, majestic, and overwhelming Taifu Sima Yi seemed to have returned to his eyes again!
When they were inexplicably astonished, Sima Yi regained his strength, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Who said we have to sit idly by? There is an old saying, if you do wrong things, you will die. When you go back, stay silent for the time being, and don’t discuss state affairs indiscriminately, everything will turn around in the end! Remember, ‘you can’t make it if you can’t bear it’!”

……

After the three of Jiang Ji bid farewell and left, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers immediately turned around from behind the screen on the back of the couch, and stood by the side of Sima Yi's bed with their hands down.

Sima Yi looked at the door of the bedroom where Jiang Ji and the others left, and let out a long sigh: "They are all loyal ministers of the Great Wei who were forced to fall to our Sima family by Cao Shuang, a rebellious man! Shier, Zhaoer, no matter our Sima family You have to treat them kindly to how far you will go in the future! In this day and age, there are really fewer and fewer loyal people like them."

"My son respectfully obeys the teachings of my lord father." Brother Sima bowed and answered in unison.

Sima Yi's thoughts were concentrated, and he looked at the two of them: "There are still two or three days until the day when our Sima family will start an incident. I just don't know how you two are feeling at the moment when the big battle is imminent?"

Master Sima raised his eyebrows, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, from my child's point of view, the overall situation is already under our control. Under the wise guidance of my lord father, we have already planned everything perfectly and are absolutely safe , it only takes one shot to complete the success!"

"Zhaoer, what about you?" Sima Yi asked Sima Zhao again.

There was still a trace of nervousness between Sima Zhao's brows: "Father! We must not have the slightest slack and numbness! If you make a careless move, the whole situation will be lost! My child always feels that you called Huan Fan to participate in the incident that day. It's really inappropriate. Huan Fan has his own opinions. Although he doesn't approve of Cao Shuang's dictatorship, he may not sincerely surrender to our Sima family..."

Sima Yi stared deeply at Sima Zhao, and said with a calm smile, "Zhaoer—you are still more resourceful than courageous, and wise than tough! If you want to achieve great things, you must first respect morality and virtue, get rid of idle thoughts, and clear your mind. Do it hard! As the saying goes: Judging right from wrong is in the heart, reputation is in the eye, accepting and letting go is in the hand, success or failure is in the hands of God! Huan Fan, who embraces him wholeheartedly for his father, is also doing his best and listening to him Xiner! My father revolted in the name of "the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, punishing rebellious ministers". Why should he presume to exclude Huan Fan, a generation of stalwart ministers? What will others think of his father? At that time, Huan Fan can Come with reason, there is nothing good; if Huan Fan refuses to obey, as a father, he will never force him to do what he wants!"

Suddenly, a hurricane came, sweeping away the haze and seeing the clear sky.

The sixth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Zhengshi Cao Wei is destined to be a special day.The weather that has been snowing heavily for the past few days suddenly changed its face this morning: the bright red sun hangs high above the blue sky, shining a rare warmth in the wilderness.

Because of the sudden improvement of the weather, Cao Shuang and the six brothers felt that this was a rare and good omen, so they led most of the courtiers in the capital to ninety miles away from the capital early in the morning under the command of the young emperor Cao Fang. The Gaoping Mausoleum held a grand ceremony for the ten-year sacrifice of the first emperor.In a trance, there is no Cao family brothers usually roaming around in the street, showing off their might, and He Yan, Deng Yang and others are not usually in the restaurant and singing in the restaurant, the huge capital of Luoyang is unexpectedly It was rare to be quiet for a while.

However, this piece of silence was shattered by the sonorous and piercing sound of the clanging of golden arms after an hour!

On the Nanfang Suzaku Avenue leading to the Sima Gate of the Imperial Palace, chariots suddenly appeared from nowhere, like beasts galloping forward, making passers-by dazzled and unable to dodge in time. The sound of the sound and the orderly steps of the soldiers shook the whole city!

In the support of this team, the head minister of the Wei State, who was rumored to be "deadly ill and dying", Sima Yi, the current imperial tutor, was full of energy and high spirits, wearing a golden helmet and silver armor, and holding a three-foot blue jade in his hand. Feng, with a green canopy floating above his head, stood upright in a chariot, as if the god of war came to the world, majestic and majestic.His eldest son, Sima Shi, and Murong Muyan, the head of the dead man's bodyguard, were also fully clothed, holding a long halberd, closely guarding the left and right sides of his chariot.

When his team passed the gate of Cao Shuang's mansion, they suddenly stagnated!It turned out that Sima Luzhi, the general's official office, Yan Shi, the captain of the Dianjun, and Sun Qian, the commander of the guards, rushed out of Cao Shuang's mansion, and led a group of Cao's servants to block the way.

Sima Shi straddled his horse forward and shouted sharply: "Master Tai Tuo is about to go to the palace to discuss the affairs of the country with Her Highness the Queen Mother, how dare you stop me? Why don't you back down!"

Lu Zhi said coldly: "Please tell the Grand Tutor, the Central Guards, that if he really wants to discuss the affairs of the country with Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, he will have to wait until General Cao returns to Beijing today after offering sacrifices to the mausoleum before entering the palace together! "

"Bastard! Master Taifu is Gu Ming's first assistant minister. With special gifts from the court, he can take a chariot and enter the Sima Gate at any time. Why do you need to wait for your family General Cao to accompany you in? You wait and get out of the way, dare you Anyone who blocks without permission will be killed without mercy!" Master Sima raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, drawing out his sword from its sheath.

Lu Zhi gritted his teeth, but still refused to back down: "Yan Shi, Sun Qian, hurry up and deploy troops to intercept! We are entrusted with duties by the general, how can we sit idly by?"

Yan Shi responded, raised the crossbow in his hand, and aimed at Master Sima's chest: "Lord Central Guard! You should retreat!"

Sima Master's robe has its own gold silk nephrite armor body protection, so he still has no fear on his face, and he shouted coldly: "Yan Shi! How dare you stop the Grand Tutor?" As he spoke, he raised his sharp sword high, I want to volley and chop down!

Over there, Murong Muyan also let out a long roar, holding up a crossbow and aiming directly at Lu Zhi!

Yan Shi looked at the situation on the left and right, his fingers holding the crossbow couldn't help trembling slightly!

At the moment of this stalemate, Sun Qian suddenly raised his left elbow from the side, deflecting Yan Shi's crossbow!Yan Shi was shocked, and stared at Sun Qian: "You...what do you want to do?"

Sun Qian looked at him calmly: "Sima Taifu entered the palace and wanted to discuss the affairs of the country with the queen mother. How can we stop it? Arbitrarily preventing the elders and ministers from entering the palace to have an audience, the crime is to exterminate the family!"

"You...you..." Lu Zhi and Yan Shi were stunned, "Sun Qian, are you crazy?"

Sun Qian ignored him completely, turned around and said to the family members of Cao's family: "Brothers—General Cao is not in the mansion, who dares to bear the crime of attacking the elders and important ministers like this? Everyone has the old and the young. , How can you break the law arbitrarily? Let's all disperse first! Let's deal with it after the general returns to Beijing and returns to the mansion!"

As the leader of the servants, when he said this, the servants of Cao's family naturally said yes and obeyed, no matter where Yan Shi was yelling and ordering, they actually made way for Sima Yi and the others.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh: "Sun Qian! You have missed your great General Cao's important event!" Without saying much, he turned around, jumped on a horse, and fled hastily.

In this way, Sima Yi, under the escort of Sima Shi and the dead guards, ran through the gate of Cao Shuang's mansion in a majestic manner.

Sima Shi went to the side of the car and said to Sima Yi: "Father, do you think you want to send someone to hunt down Lu Zhi?"

Sima Yi looked at the back of Lu Zhi, an old subordinate who fled away, and only replied softly: "Cao's mansion is about to fall, so Lu Zhi can only support him? Let him go!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced, and suddenly saw Sun Qian standing beside the stone lion in front of the Cao Mansion, looking deeply at him.That gaze is so similar to when Qingfu, Qingping, and Sima Yin looked up at themselves 40 years ago, full of eagerness and expectation, sincerity and gratitude!
