The last three kingdoms

Chapter 534
But even the powerful Sima Zhao, it is not easy to take this step. Just like Cao Cao back then, he had the opportunity to proclaim himself emperor, but in the end he did not proclaim himself emperor, but pinned his hopes on his son body.Sima Zhao also had the same mentality. He wanted to emulate Cao Cao and just be a powerful minister in his own lifetime. He hoped that his son could inherit the great cause and fulfill the expectations of several generations of Sima family.

In fact, for Sima Zhao, the two sons are both excellent. As for which one to choose, Sima Zhao has a headache. The palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat. It is really difficult to choose.

Zhang Hua smiled bluntly and said: "The theory of different phases is so false. Could it be that there are many people in the folk who stand tall and put their hands on their knees, and they are also qualified to stand for the heir? If they are the heir, virtue should be ranked first. Marquis Wuyang is extremely intelligent, gentle and pure, he can be said to be the master of benevolence."

Sima Zhao pondered for a while, and Jia Chong also saw that the situation was unfavorable. He stepped forward and said, "The Zhongfu army has the virtue of a gentleman, so it is not easy."

Jia Chong's words were more tactful, but in fact he was reminding Sima Zhao that Sima Yan had become the monarch of everyone in the court and army, and it was impossible to change now.

The Yan Party faction has basically pulled out all the stops at present. In order to ensure that Sima Yan can rise to the top, they can be said to spare no effort.But now that the You faction is obstructing it, it is very difficult for the Yan party to persuade Sima Zhao to change his mind.

Now the Yau party is united as one, trying to protect the throne of Wuyanghou Simayou.

Sima Zhao couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that by calling all the ministers to discuss the matter, he could easily resolve the unresolved position of heir, but to his surprise, the courtiers argued fiercely. Those who supported Sima Yan and those who supported Sima Yan Yau, not giving in to each other, the contest between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.

This is obviously not what Sima Zhao wants to see. Sima Zhao is sick and extremely weak at the moment, and he can't stand sitting for a long time. After sitting for a while, he feels dizzy and weak, and his limbs are tired. Back to the harem to rest.

As soon as he returned to the harem, the guards came to report, and the Taifu Sima Fu came to see him.

Sima Zhao was overjoyed when he heard that Sima Fu asked to see him, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the guards to pass Sima Fu to the hall.

"My minister, Sima Fu, see His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Sima Fu saluted after entering.

Sima Zhao wanted to go forward to help him, but his body didn't live up to his strength. At this moment, he couldn't stand up even if he wanted to stand up, so he had to help him in vain, and said: "Uncle, please get up quickly, this place is not above the main hall, you and my uncle and nephew Why do you have to do such a great thing?"

Sima Fu didn't go to the front hall to participate in the discussion, because he knew that there was no point in going there, and it was impossible to get any results. People grow old and old, and old trees become weird. Sima Fu, who has lived to this age, naturally sees everything It's very clear, Sima Zhao wants to make a decision through the discussion of the ministers, which is simply whimsical.

"Your Highness, please forgive the old minister for being late and failing to catch up with the front hall to discuss matters, but I don't know what the result will be?" Sima Fu asked.

Sima Zhao shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "There are different opinions, and there is no consensus. Uncle, you refused to give Gu a suggestion last time. Can you give Gu an answer this time?"

Sima Fu said slowly: "Your Highness, do you want Sima's country to last forever or just like a flash in the pan?"

Sima Zhao couldn't help being stunned. As a superior, of course he hoped that the country he created would be undefeated for thousands of years. Although it is very difficult to be undefeated for thousands of years, so far, no dynasty has reached this height. The longest Zhou Dynasty only lasted more than [-] years, but there is no king who is not eager to break this record. Of course, Sima Zhao also hopes that his descendants can continue his legend and continue Sima's rule.

"Why did uncle say this?"

Sima Fu said: "The first emperor conquered the six kingdoms and ruled the world. He was so heroic. However, after the death of the second emperor, Han Gaozu ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety. There were only four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. Because the strong Qin was not as good as the weak Han? No! Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. The country, to rule the world, has unprecedented military power, but steel is easy to break. His Highness's second son is narrow and straight, with too much hostility. From the perspective of veteran officials, if His Highness chooses Yan as the throne, **** will be in power. You will die in three lifetimes; although You has a weak character, he is gentle, pure and good, with a benevolent heart, which fully meets the requirements of a lord of benevolence."

Sima Zhao pondered and said, "Gu also wants to make You his heir, but he is afraid that he will be too weak to bear the great responsibility."

Sima Fu smiled slightly and said, "You're not weak, it's just that you don't have a city in your chest. The old ministers have often heard that Marquis Wuyang is smart and wise, quite strategic, and strict in running the army. What's more, he has a heart of pure filial piety and benevolence, he is extremely filial to his parents, he cares about siblings to his brothers, he treats others as his own, and those who govern the world with benevolence and filial piety will surely achieve long-term peace and stability."

Sima Zhao nodded, and said: "Uncle's words are very true. Tao Fu is benevolent, and he must be the master of a generation. An Shiguolie, he can be the overlord of a generation. Both of them have their own merits, and Gu can really make a decision. How about it, Rong Gu again Think about it for three to five days to make a decision."

Sima Fu said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. You must first ensure that you are healthy. As for the matter of establishing a reserve, it will happen naturally. The old minister will retire."

Sima Fu's purpose of this trip has been achieved, so naturally he will not stay any longer and get up to say goodbye.

For Sima Zhao, it is natural to hope that the country will last forever and last forever. Sima Fu's words speak to his heart. clear.Although Sima You was adopted by Master Sima, that was only in name, but in fact, Sima You was his son after all, no matter what time it was, he would never be able to erase this relationship.

As Wang Yuanji said, if Sima You succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be able to be kind to his father, filial to his son, and harmonious with his brothers, but it may not be the case if Sima Yan is replaced.Sima Zhao obviously didn't want his two sons to be separated by a wall and fight in the same room. After all, the story of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's brothers is still fresh in people's memories. Sima Zhao didn't want him to let the two brothers go to the point where they would fight each other after a hundred years. .

Perhaps Sima You has Cao Zhi's talent and can compose poems in seven steps, but Sima Yan doesn't seem to be Cao Pi, and he is far from patient to test his brothers, and he never knows whether he will be given this opportunity.

For a moment, Sima Zhao seemed to have some thought, but he didn't say it, and swallowed it back into his stomach.
