Chapter 44: Plan early

Sima Shi saw his father showing such a look for the first time, and he couldn't help but tremble and whispered: "Father, what you mean is--"

"Shhh, silence."

Sima Yi was cautious, fearing that the entire clan would cause trouble, and he rarely showed a sinister look: "Remember, no matter what, you should not talk to others. As a father, he was cautious in his words and actions all his life, and he always adhered to this sentence. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and Emperor Wu of Taizu was the lord of Xiong Guess. In the sixth year of Jian'an, Taizu heard of his father's talent and wanted to be an official. When he saw the Han Dynasty, he did not want to Qu Cao, so he refused to live because of wind and numbness. I was bedridden all year round, and Taizu still didn't believe it. He sent secret envoys to visit him at night to see if he was really sick."

When talking about this past incident that happened nearly thirty years ago, Sima Yi still had a little fear on his face. Although Cao Cao had long died, he still had the power to talk about it.

Master Sima never heard his father talk about this, and he felt a chill in his heart and asked, "What happened later? Did he be discovered by a secret envoy to pretend to be sick?"

He chuckled and shook his head and said, "If I knew that I was pretending to be sick, I might be harmed by him. I lie in the bed for my father. The secret envoy thrust my sword and stab me with only a slight distance from my eyes. I still remained motionless. The secret envoy thought I was really sick, so he left."

"My father suffered."

Sima Shi thought that his father could endure this point. If the sword stabbed nearly one or two inches, it would be fatal on the spot. Just imagine that if he encountered such a thing, he might be able to resist the stiffness, but the subtle expression on his face would be observed by the secret envoy.

It is really difficult to achieve such a state of unchanging color in front of Mount Tai.

Sima Yi sneered: "Emperor Wu is suspicious, and he believes in the prophecy of the eagle looking at the wolf and eating the trough of the three horses. I have repeatedly shown him loyalty and dare not show any signs. Emperor Wen succeeded to the throne and became generous, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system established also favored our aristocratic families, so that Emperor Wen can get the hope of the aristocratic family. When he was about to entrust his orphan, he was ranked at the last auxiliary for his father and Sikong Chen Qun, and the Cao clan relatives were in the front. And this time..."

Sima Shi couldn't help but jumped: "What my father meant is that if Your Majesty unfortunately dies, he will still entrust his father to his side? Yes, after all, my father is a veteran of three dynasties and has outstanding achievements. It is natural for Your Majesty to entrust your affairs to you."

Speaking of the current emperor, Sima Yi was particularly afraid and said gloomy: "Don't underestimate His Majesty today. His meticulous mind and ruthlessness are beyond the imagination of people. It's a pity that his age might be extraordinary if he could leave twenty years a day, but now... that's all."

Sima Shi hesitated: "If Your Majesty dies, he will probably withdraw his troops from Liaodong."

"Just go back for your father, and you will stay."

He pondered for a moment and whispered: "Your Majesty's dragon body is in danger. I will call my troops back to the court. But before Liaodong is pacified, I can go back alone. You will stay in Youzhou in the name of the enemy's border troubles. The name is to entrust the enemy to guard the border, but in fact, you will raise the enemy and respect yourself."

He paused and pondered: "Jiuqiu Jian is the head coach and you are the deputy general. You have to find a way to divide some of the military power... By that time, even if there is a change in the court, you can still take care of it."

Sima Shi was shocked: "What's wrong in the court?"

"The Cao clan relatives are in power and fire with me, and they will definitely find ways to attack, exclude me, and eliminate dissidents. It has been around since ancient times."

Sima Yi smiled disdainfully and snorted: "Since Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen's death, there have been no ones who can show off. Your Majesty is a smart person and can balance left and right. The one who entrusts the orphan must be half of the clan and ministers."

"Yes, Your Majesty is really extraordinary. Whenever you enter the palace, your child is always cautious in his words and actions, for fear of being jealous of His Majesty." Sima Shi replied.

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty is a smart man, but he was also mistaken for intelligence. The King of Qinghe, the King of Fanyang, died prematurely before he became an adult. Only the remaining nine-year-old Cao Xun and eight-year-old Cao Fang. Cao Xun was weak and sick, and embarrassed the position of the crown prince. In this way, Cao Fang is the only heir to the rank of the rank."

"How could Your Majesty choose an eight-year-old child as the emperor? In the world, how can an eight-year-old child be cured?" Sima asked in confusion.

Sima Yi said coldly: "This is your majesty's flaw. You would rather choose a young son as the emperor than choose a young and strong man as the emperor in the royal family. It's simple. Your majesty's throne is not his own blood, and his nephews and brothers are not willing to pass on the surrender. Your majesty is good at imperial skills. The royal family and the ministers choose the ministers who entrust their orphans to compete with each other. After seven or eight years, the young emperor will be able to take charge of the government affairs without the need for the ministers to assist. As for the old ministers and the royal family in the battle, who loses power, gets imprisoned or dies in the competition, Your Majesty doesn't care."

These words revealed an upcoming bloody storm, which was told in Sima Yi's mouth, as if he was chatting about family matters again, without much trouble.

Sima Shi was disdainful and said, "Your Majesty is used to being cautious. Since he is entrusting his orphans, the court is constantly stormy, so he should choose one person to take over the blood of his clan relatives. When the young emperor grows up, he will get back his power."

After his remarks, he felt that Cao Rui was petty.

But he didn't know that Sima Shi in history also encountered such a situation later. Although his son Sima You was talented and famous, he was only ten years old. In order to seek stability, Sima Shi had to give all the power to Sima Zhao before his death. Sima Zhao worked hard and worked hard to destroy Shu.

But the problem is that Sima Zhao's power comes from his deceased brother Sima Shi. He always promised Sima You that the throne will be yours in the future. Seeing that the Three Kingdoms were unified after the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, the position was given to his own son Sima Yan.

The candlesticks on the table were light and dark under the gentle breeze, reflecting Sima Yi's face was also gloomy and terrifying.

He blew out the candlelight, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and whispered: "It's getting late, Master, go back and rest early. Remember what your father said to you today."

Sima Shi did not dare to slacken at all, so he said "yes", turned around and left the military account.

Xiangping, royal palace.

The news of Zhuge Jin withdrawing his troops was beyond everyone's expectations and reasonable.

Lunzhi reported on the withdrawal of the Eastern Wu army, and said with a worry-faced look: "The troops of Wu have been withdrawn, and the 50,000 reinforcements from Wei have just arrived. Now it becomes our Yan State's attack directly."

Gongsun Xiu had long expected that Wu Guohui would withdraw his troops and he had eaten the big cakes he drew, but he had not taken the benefits. If he dragged them down, he would only sink deeper and deeper. Withdrawal was the best way.

Currently, Sun Quan is considering attacking Hefei, rather than staring at the battle in Liaodong.

Moreover, once the Wu State withdraws its troops, only Yan and Wei are left in Liaodong to bite each other. This is also Zhuge Jin's plan to remove firewood from the cauldron. It is exactly the same as when he is fighting in the Liao Tunnel and withdrawing troops and throwing the mess to Zhuge Jin to clean up.
