Chapter 393 Sima Yi's final blow, the Three Kingdoms is invincible (1)
Sima's Spring
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the brothers Cao Shuang handed over all their positions and were dismissed from office.Everything seemed to be at peace.

However, only three days later, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, the servants and slaves in Cao Shuang's mansion went to the court to report all the previous bad deeds of Cao Shuang brothers.Tingwei's office played Shangshutai and Zhongshuxing: "Huangmen ordered Zhang Dang to steal from Cao Shuang by the former emperor's talent and talent, suspected of adultery." The young emperor Cao Fang ordered a thorough investigation, and Zhang Dang was thrown into the prison for interrogation.Zhang Dang broke out a shocking confession: "Cao Shuang and Shang Shu He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Sili Xiaowei Bi Gui, Jingzhou Inspector Li Sheng and others conspired against each other, and they must be released in mid-March." The serious crime of "usurping the throne" has far exceeded the scope of "no king and no way" promised by Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Gao Rou and others at the beginning.Therefore, the young emperor Cao Fang personally went to the hall to preside over it, and the empress dowager participated behind the curtain, and convened the officials of the third rank and above in Beijing to discuss the court meeting.In the end, the court council jointly decided to take Cao Shuang brothers, He Yan, Deng Yang, Bi Gui, Li Sheng, etc. to prison, impeach them for treason, and join Zhang Dang with the barbarians.

At the same time, Da Si Nong Huan Fan was also detained by Tingwei for framing Sima Yi for "rebellion". He will be tried on a date.

In the process of thoroughly investigating and punishing Cao Shuang's faction for treasonous crimes, someone exposed Taishi Ling Guan Ren who fabricated evil words to flatter Cao Shuang and help the evildoers.The most important evidence is that Guan Ren once used the hexagram "Qian" to predict that Cao Shuang would be "nine five dragons fly, benefit the adults", and whitewashed and advocated the crimes of Cao Shuang's faction with "Shenwu is promoted, Wang Dao is prosperous".

Guan Ren didn't take it seriously, and carefully analyzed the divination of "Qian" in Cao Shuang's mansion in front of senior ministers such as Taifu Sima Yi, Taiwei Jiang Ji, Situ Gaorou, Weiwei Guo Zhi, etc. meaning.He said: "The word 'adult' is the most critical in the eight characters of the hexagram 'Flying dragon is in the sky, benefit to see adults'. The word 'adult' means 'big among men', with virtue and talent, just like a flying dragon in the sky. , Enze Bahuang, can make the Great Wei "Shenwu Shengjian, Wangdao Changming". So, in today's world, who can be called an "adult"? As far as we know, Sima Taifu's name is "Zhongda". The implication of the hexagrams is consistent! Therefore, the meaning of Guan Mou is actually implying that Sima Tai Fu Fang is the "Master" who "governs the country and secures the country, promotes the prosperity of the gods, and prospers the king", and is by no means a conspiracy like Cao Shuang. only."

Naturally, there were no omissions in his explanation - instead of being condemned and condemned, he was promoted to a higher level and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei by the imperial court.

Sunshine and dust fell together from the wooden frame of the prison window, swirling like countless tiny bugs.

Sima Yi half sat and half lay on the black painted chariot, and was carried in by six personal soldiers.After the black-painted chariot settled down, he waved his hands lightly.The soldiers understood and retreated quietly.

In front of him, Huan Fan with disheveled hair was sitting in a pile of straw against a stone wall, looking straight at him with a pair of bright sword-like eyes.

"Brother Huan, don't you even listen to Brother Hu Zhao's advice?" Sima Yi's voice lost its usual fortitude and concentration, and became sour. The four words in blood were scribbled by you in a moment of confusion, so Yi let Gao Rou and Lu Yu save you from the crime of "framing others and rebelling against others"..."

"Sima Zhongda! These four characters were not only written by Huan on the blood book, but also engraved in the history slips!" Huan Fan gave him a sideways look, still as if he was in Luhun Mountain Ling more than 40 years ago. In Longgu's "Ziyuan Academy", he preached with the same relentless awe as he did when he was arguing, "Do you think that you can deceive all the scholars and people of Wei by doing it without anyone noticing it? Yes, everyone now Everyone praises you as an outstanding hero of "the side of the Qing emperor, punishing the rebels, and the leader of the court", but can you deceive yourself? Can you deceive the gods?"

Sima Yi lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "You should have heard that Brother Cao Shuang planned to concoct the auspicious miracle of 'six zhis with the same root, and abundant springs emerge' in Gaoping Mausoleum in order to deceive the world and usurp the country? You should also know that Cao Shuang's group committed crimes. Do you commit all kinds of crimes such as stealing imperial property, raping the former emperor's talents, accepting tribute from the vassal state, selling officials to accept bribes, etc.?"

As he said that, he took out from his bosom the purple gauze edict that Cao Fang entrusted Zhonghui to bring out on the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, and lightly threw it in front of Huan Fan: "Take a look, the sixth day of the first lunar month On the night when Yi and other ministers rebelled, you tried your best to persuade Brother Cao Shuang to "serve the emperor to disobey the minister", but His Majesty himself has long regarded Cao Shuang as a traitor! What else do you have to say at this moment?"

Huan Fan took the purple gauze edict, looked at it carefully through the sunlight, was slightly taken aback, and then immediately smiled wryly.After a long time, he calmed down, and continued to say coldly: "Zhong Da, you are really powerful. What a trick of 'playing hard to get'! They were all deceived by you..."

In an instant, Sima Yi's originally graceful and peaceful expression froze.

"Cao Shuang's evil deeds, you can stop and eliminate them at any time." Huan Fan stared at him and said coldly, "It's not that you don't have the ability, but you never had the intention. Actually, You deliberately hid in the dark in advance and indulged the Cao Shuang brothers to run amok and pile up evil, and then when the time is right, you will eradicate them in the name of righteousness, and finally you, the Sima family, will completely monopolize the power! You just deliberately give All the scholars and people in the world have left the impression that apart from your Sima clan, even the relatives of the Wei family are not worthy of assisting in governing the country! Sima Zhongda! For this goal, you are really painstaking and tolerant, even pretending to be paralyzed All kinds of silly and ugly things have been played out."

"Enough!" Sima Yi interrupted Huan Fan's sarcasm with an angry shout, "In today's world, who can let me be promoted to the great martial arts of Huanghuang Wei and become king? Who can make me look down on Wu from Huanghuang Wei Shu, swallowing the world with anger? Who can make me return to my heart from far and near, and be attached to the shadows of the four directions?"

Even Huan Fan, who had always been so deep-hearted, was shocked by his three questionings, and his complexion changed slightly!
After Sima Yi finished drinking, he clutched his chest and panted fiercely, his face was flushed, and he just stared at Huan Fan.

Huan Fan was silent for a while, his eyes suddenly softened, and he said slowly: "Okay! You don't have to come again to persuade me to admit my mistake. Master Guan Ning once said in the past, 'The loyal man establishes integrity, the wise man makes meritorious deeds, Yue Li Jiang Xing, Each follows his own way.'You will be a wise man who has made great contributions to the world, and I will be a loyal man who will stand for thousands of years. You and I have our own place, how about it?"

As soon as he said this, Sima Yi's expression of extreme grief and indignation suddenly shattered: "Brother Huan—why are you so stubborn? The current Wei family is not worthy of your loyalty to it. How did Brother Cao Shuang and the others treat him before?" Yours? If they could listen to your advice, how could they fall into such a catastrophe today?!"

"Zhongda, why do you push me too hard? Among the disciples of Mr. Xuantongzi Guan Ning, you are unmatched in terms of wisdom, but in terms of loyalty, I will do my part," Huan Fan pressed his fists on his knees, slightly He closed his eyes, "If I don't eat the salary of the Wei Dynasty, I will be fine. If I eat Wei Lu, I will swear to live and die with the Great Wei. You probably regret that you tried hard to recommend me to be an official in Wei, right?"

Sima Yi sighed deeply, with a look of sadness overflowing.

Huan Fan's eyes flashed open, he looked straight at him like a sword, and continued to speak bluntly: "Zhong Da, today you used deep cunning and deceit to sneak Wei Ding into the invisible, but aren't you afraid that you will suffer the same retribution in the future?"

Sima Yi's expression froze, as if he remembered that someone had said similar things many years ago, but at that time he was questioning Cao Cao from a distance, and he didn't expect Huan Fan to take this question to his heart directly today !After pondering for a long time, he finally decided to take this extremely sharp question head-on, sighed deeply, and answered solemnly: "Brother Huan, you asked a good question. Everyone in my Sima family will firmly remember you No problem. Don't worry—my Sima family will stand in place of Wei in the future, and the people of the world will be obedient, and the people of the world will be sincere, and the people of the world will be convinced. There is no objection! Choosing together is the real retribution!"

Huan Fan also stared at him deeply: "Then, Huan is here to wish your Sima family an early pacification of Wu and Shu, unification of Liuhe, and a peaceful and prosperous world for all people in the world! Perhaps, only in this way can you be better than Wei Wei. Shi Zhuxiong has reached a higher level and reached the pinnacle! Only then can the people of the world be convinced, and there is no objection!"

Hearing the words, Sima Yi was deeply moved. He stood up from the black lacquered chariot, walked slowly to Huan Fan, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Senior Brother Huan, for your best wishes."

Huan Fan slowly closed his eyes, and without opening them again, his tone became long and distant: "Zhongda, let's go. I will be in the underworld and sincerely look forward to your early realization of Master's year of "purging the world and benefiting the world". The will of Tianxia'..."

"Brother Huan, here is Yi reciting the "On Loyalty" that you wrote back then to see you off!" Sima Yi fell on the floor and sang solemnly, "A husband who serves the king should do his best to be loyal and righteous. In times of crisis, even though the ground is smeared and the grass is moistened with ointment, you will not hesitate. Sincerely want to govern the people with peace and prosperity, spread the virtues, and make you a sage for a generation, and a good assistant for a lifetime. If you assist Qiancheng, you think about Guan and Yan, and when you assist the world, you think about Chouji and Yu. How can you be a man of seven feet who favors an official's nobility, greedy for the family's salary, and the view of glory and splendor..."

While chanting, Sima Yi's voice gradually choked up, gradually sank, and gradually lowered.The teardrops finally fell down, and there was a crisp echo on the bluestone floor, floating in the endless void for a long time with his chanting voice, as if it was a clear voice that penetrated to the deepest part of history...

"Father, here are a few things that need you to decide." Sima Zhao came in with a stack of papers and reported to Sima Yi, "The Tingwei Office and Sili Xiaowei's Mansion came to ask about Lu Zhi and other members of the former general's mansion. How should we deal with it?"

Sitting on the couch, Sima Yi asked back, "Zhaoer, what's your opinion?"

"In my child's opinion, it is better to forgive them all in the name of 'encouraging those who do things better', so as not to create a big prison and make people feel uneasy."

"Well... Zhaoer, your thinking is getting more and more mature." Sima Yi nodded slightly, "This way, the soldiers and people in the world can understand that raising troops for the father's side of the emperor, and the leader of the court', only ask the crime of the culprit, and decide the crime. Don’t abuse those subordinates. Back then when Wang Yun punished Dong Zhuo, he committed the mistake of ‘generalizing the whole and killing innocent people indiscriminately’, which brought the chaos of Guo Si and Li Jue to the Han court! We must not repeat the same mistakes!”

"Father, among the staff members of Cao Shuang's mansion, there is also such a person: his name is Wang Ji, a native of Donglai County, Qingzhou. He wrote "Time Essentials" to admonish him. Brother Cao Shuang closed his ears, and Wang Ji also resigned because the admonition was invalid. When Cao Shuang brothers were beheaded in Dongshi a few days ago, Cao's bureaucrats belonged to former officials. No one dared to go, but this Wang Ji went to the execution ground to see him off with wine and tears in spite of himself, and his mournful feelings moved everyone around him..."
