Cheng Ji is dead...

Zhang Hu was blinded...

Sima Yan was whipped...

All of them were written by Emperor Cao Mao of Wei.

If Sima hadn't arrived in time after receiving the news, Zhang Hu's life would have been lost. Even so, Zhang Hu was dying and I wonder if he could still save his life.

Now, this news has spread rapidly throughout Luoyang and then to northern states, such as Ji, You, Bing, Qing, Xu, Yan, Liang, Yong and other places.

Even the pseudo-Han in the southwest and the Sun and Wu in the southeast were slightly heard of.

In one day, it seemed that everyone in the world could no longer see through Emperor Cao Mao of Wei.

Is the cowardice of the past disguise? Or?

Is the strength now? Is it true? Or?

In short, there was another political frenzy in various places because of the Emperor of Wei.

...

Whether injured or dead, they have been sent out of the palace, which is related to their own wealth and life. Naturally, the guards dare not neglect them.

Cheng Ji's body has been sent back to his brother Cheng's house.

Chengzhu and Chengji are brothers. Because their parents died early, the two brothers supported each other and grew up. Later, they joined the Sima family at the same time, hoping to have a good future.

When Cheng Ji was carried back by the guards, he had been dead for a long time.

"younger brother!"

At this moment, Chengzhe saw Cheng Ji, who was still alive when he went out in the morning, actually looked like this, and couldn't help but scream and fainted.

"Sir, Sir."

The maids around exclaimed, and then the entire mansion began to jump.

Today is not destined to be a peaceful day.

...

King of Jin's Mansion

If we say that the most magnificent mansion in Luoyang City is naturally the palace where the emperor lives.

But if we say that the mansion with the most majestic and powerful is the mansion of the King of Jin.

Because he controlled the power of Wei State, Sima Shi, who was in power all over the world, lived here.

At the same time, this is also the base camp of the Sima family.

Although Sima Yan was only slightly injured, in order to please the Sima family, the guards specially found a sedan chair to carry Sima Yan back to the Jin Palace.

Almost when Cheng Ji and others were sent to their mansion, Sima Yan arrived, but Sima Yan did not ask the guards to send him to the King of Jin's mansion directly, but stopped at a place near the King of Jin's mansion, and then he walked over step by step.

Although the wound on the forehead had been simply bandaged, Sima Yan lowered his head slightly and felt a little depressed.

Until Sima Yan was about to reach the door of the King of Jin's Mansion, he looked up and saw a person standing outside the door, with a large number of guards behind him.

"Meet my father."

Sima Yan hurriedly bowed to pay homage.

This man is not tall, but he is extremely solid, not very handsome, but he is quite generous. He is also very imposing. He is Sima Yan's father Sima Zhao!

The second-ranked figure of the Sima family, Sima Shi's younger brother!

Sima Zhao naturally knew that such a big thing happened in the palace...

Cheng Ji was beheaded by Emperor Wei,

Zhang Hu was blinded by Emperor Wei,

Sima Yan was beaten by Emperor Wei.

After hearing about it, Sima Zhao was also shocked. Fortunately, his brother Sima Shi went there in person, otherwise he would not be allowed to have his son...

After receiving the news that his son Sima Yan was protected by his brother, Sima Zhao felt relieved and waited in front of the door for his son to come back.

However, when Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yan's frustration, he frowned slightly.

This son was always too young. If he hadn't allowed Cheng Ji to have a conflict with Emperor Wei at that time, how could the matter have developed more and more severely?

But Sima Zhao also knew that this was not a place to speak, so he said, "Come in and talk about it, your uncle has been waiting for you."

"promise."

When Sima Yan heard that his uncle was waiting for him, he couldn't help but sigh. He had always been afraid of Sima Shi, and this was even more so at this time. He lowered his head and agreed, and followed Sima Zhao in.

Sima Zhao led Sima Yan all the way to the study.

The so-called study room is actually mostly used by Sima Master to meet with trusted generals and discuss national affairs. It is very generous and simple. There is a case and several cushions.

After entering the study room, Sima Yan obediently followed him and knelt down from his side.

"Tell me what happened."

After sitting down, Sima Shi rubbed his tired eyes and said.

"promise."

Sima Yan lowered his head and agreed.

I began to explain what happened, every word is a fact, without adding fuel to the fire,

Because Sima Yan knew that Sima would have eyes and ears in the palace. If he added fuel to the fire, he would just be humiliating himself.

"Um."

Sima Shi finished listening carefully, and finally nodded, falling into deep thought.

Sima Shi had already known what Sima Yan said. He just wanted to ask Sima Yan about whether there were any differences.

As for this matter, Sima Shi does not intend to investigate it in depth.

Cao Cao's guess is correct. The Sima family has killed the previous emperor and almost forced this generation of emperor to commit suicide. Their status is gradually unstable. Not only are there more and more dissatisfaction in the country, but even the other two countries use this as an excuse...

Especially Jiang Wei of Shu Kingdom, the goal of the Northern Expedition has changed from the Cao family to the Sima family, and the slogan has changed from the extermination of Cao thieves and the restoration of the Han Dynasty to the extermination of Sima thieves...

Jiang Wei even threatened to help the Cao family eradicate the Sima family...

Whenever I think of this, Sima Shi, who already suffers from hidden diseases, feels even more uncomfortable...

However, Sima Shi was a little confused about today's affairs. He knew very well about Cao Mao's character and ability, but today is very different from usual. Did he hide it before, or was there someone instructing him later?

If it weren't for someone else's instructions, then it would have been a scheming and the previous ones were all disguises!

No matter which one is, we must investigate thoroughly!

In addition, Cheng Ji and Zhang Hu’s two things...

Cheng Ji has always been a marginal figure in the Sima Group, so even if he dies, Sima Shi would not take it too seriously.

Zhang Hu's words are of some value, so let's find an opportunity to comfort them.

As for Sima Yan's injury, Sima Shi didn't care even more.

It would be fine if you didn't die.

What is it to be hurt and humiliated? Haven’t you seen Gou Jian slept on firewood and tasted gall?

However, Sima Yan was not as Sima Shi thought, forcibly suppressing his anger and said, "Uncle, is it that the matter of nephew being whipped?"

"Well, what do you want?"

Sima Shi was a little surprised and raised his head and said.

Sima Shi actually couldn't stand this nephew's most unbearable thing. If he hadn't had no children in his heart, he would not have vigorously trained him.

If Sima Yan dares to express his grievances now and let him be fair, then Sima Shi would consider changing his heirs.

"Shaming in public cannot be ignored..."

Looking at Sima Shi's gaze, Sima Yan hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the scene of being beaten by Cao Cao in public, he felt ashamed and angry. So, Qiang took a breath, straightened his body, and said.

But before he finished speaking, he was blocked by his father Sima Zhao's anxious eyes and swallowed it back.

Sima Shi didn't seem to see Sima Zhao's little movements. Seeing Sima Yan shut up halfway and knew how to move forward and retreat, he was very appreciative in his heart.

Appreciation flashed in his eyes, and Sima nodded and said, "You know how to advance and retreat, know the general, An Shi, you have grown up."

Sima Yan is not a fool. He vowed to inherit Sima Shi's power and status. In addition to being hardworking in his studies, he also paid great attention to the current situation.

Seeing his father Sima Zhao's eyes, Sima Yan quickly closed his mouth, thought carefully, and then realized it.

Although the Sima family and the Cao family are in equal influence, Sima still needs this emperor as a political bargaining chip to gather some people's hearts. When the prestige is enough, the dynasty can be changed.

If there is a conflict now, it will be unfavorable to the Sima family.

"Thank you for your teachings."

Sima Yan thanked him.
