Chapter 21 Phoenix Tour on the Phoenix Stage
Wei State, Luoyang
At this moment, the Jin Palace was solemn, and the servants in the family were even more arrogant and dared not show up. No one expected that Sima Biao, the Sima family's son, would be killed, and the murderer was Sima Yan, who was expected to become the prince of the Jin Dynasty!
What is the most taboo for a family?
It is not a fight for power and profit, it is not a corruption and abuse of power, but a traitor!
Even if Sima Biao is abusive, lustful, or bully other people's wife and daughter! He is angry and resentful, please don't forget that as long as this person is still surnamed Sima, he will be from the Sima family!
He was born from the Sima family, and died from the Sima family's ghost!
What's more, in the Sima family's cognition, the people of the Sima family will live forever!
Even the so-called emperor cannot be killed!
But today all Sima people received news...
Their tribe members died...
The people of the tribe were stunned. At first, they were unbelievable. When they saw the body and then knew that Sima Yan was the murderer, they were silent and began a family meeting to discuss how to deal with Sima Yan.
...
Now in the living room of the King of Jin Mansion, in addition to the superior head of the family, Sima Shi...
The older generation included Sima Fu, Sima Jin, Sima Tong, and Sima Min. These were all the remaining "Sima Bada" of those years, and were the characters of the same era as Sima Yi, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce.
Since Sima Fang and Sima Lang's death, Sima Yi first seized the power of Sima Lang's descendants, controlled the Sima family, and then launched the Gaopingling Incident, killed Cao Shuang's party, and then controlled the entire Wei Kingdom. The Sima Yi family gained great prestige, and no one could shake the Sima family. Except for Sima Jin who obtained a minority of power because of his support for Sima Yi, there were not many other people, such as Sima Fu, Sima Tong, Sima Min, etc.
The middle-aged generation included Sima Zhao, Sima Yong, Sima Yi, Sima Wang, Sima Fu, Sima Quan, Sima Tai and others.
These people are quite complicated, such as Sima Lang who followed Cao Cao back then, and his descendants Sima Yi and Sima Wang were as loyal to the Cao family as their father Sima Lang from beginning to end. After Sima Yi seized the power of the Sima family, he suppressed the two of them several times. Now they are both internal and external in the Sima family and their status is constantly declining. However, even if they suppress them, they are descendants of Sima Lang after all. For certain reasons, some tribe members led by Sima Shi invited them to attend the family meeting together.
As for Sima Yong and Sima Fu, they gradually alienated the Sima family like their father Sima Fu because of Sima's murder of the Emperor of Wei.
Others such as Sima Quan, Sima Tai, Sima Sui, Sima Mu, Sima Xun and others are either resentful, indifferent, or sympathetic, and the various aspects of life are revealed here.
The young generation included Sima You, Sima Yan, Sima Chong, Sima Hong, Sima Zhi, Sima Yue, Sima Sui, Sima Cheng, Sima Yin and others. Except for Sima You and Sima Yan who are Sima Zhao's sons, the rest have no real power.
...
Because Emperor Wei was killed by Sima Shi, Sima Fu, who had been alienating the Sima family, sat down and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. His attitude was quite obvious.
Sima Fu's son Sima Yong and Sima Fu stood behind his father and did not seem to intend to participate in Sima Yan's killing of Sima Biao.
The opposite of Sima Fu and his son is the other party, Sima Jin, Sima Mu, Sima Min and others.
Although Sima Jin and his son had adopted Sima Biao to Sima Min because of their disgust, they were disgusted and their biological descendants were killed and they would never give up!
This is the biological father and son who abandoned Sima Biao, let alone Sima Min, who loves Sima Biao in every way?
Sima Min stepped forward and lived in the middle of the hall. The resentment in her eyes lingered. She looked at Sima Yan coldly, bowed to Sima Shi sitting in the main seat with a fist, and then said to other tribesmen: "I am over fifty years old and still have self-knowledge. No matter when my father and elder brother were the heads of the family, I have never asked about it. Even when my second brother launched the Gaopingling Incident, I have never opposed it. Although I have not made much contribution to the Sima family in my life, I have never let down the Sima family. The only regret is that I have no children. If my sixth brother had not adopted Shaotong to me, I would have lived alone in this life."
After saying that, Sima Min paused and looked around. He saw that most of the tribe members were silent, but only a few, such as Sima Zhao and others, still frowning...
Sima Min smiled miserably and continued, "However, today I received the news that Shaotong was killed, and the servant Li Long was loyal to guard him, but was stabbed by the thief. After Li Long carried Shaotong's body to me and told me, he was dead..."
Sima Min slowly closed her eyes and remembered the scene at that time. She was already in tears and continued in a hoarse voice: "Head of the family, all the clansmen, now the thief is here, can you make the decision for me?"
"Grandfather, you have been worried too much. I did have a dispute with Shaotong, but when Shaotong died, I had already returned home, and Du Yu can prove it!"
Seeing that Sima Min wanted to let the tribes punish him, Sima Yan immediately jumped out and retorted.
At this moment, Sima Yan was very panicked. He never expected Sima Biao to die. Those pilgrims obviously beat Sima Biao with their fists and feet, so how could they suddenly die!
Sima Yan returned home early because he felt bored halfway, so Sima Yan had no idea what happened to Sima Biao later!
The original pilgrims had already scattered and had nowhere to look for them. Only Li Long knew the news, but he also pointed out himself before his death...
No one has evidence...
So Sima Yan even himself couldn't figure out whether it was really the group of pilgrims who beat Sima Biao to death...
I originally wanted to find my father Sima Zhao to help him soon, but who knew that he would suddenly hold a family meeting to deal with the matter...
"Rareless! The elders speak, and the younger ones interrupt?"
It was not Sima Min who spoke, but Sima Jin who had been angry. Sima Jin stared at Sima Yan viciously and continued, "Du Yu? You are outsider, let alone, who doesn't know that it is your Sima Yan's confidant, how can you testify?"
"Brother, this is a bad word. An Shi is a human being. I am quite clear. Although I am a small person, I will not kill the tribe members and do such a shameless thing!"
The person who said this was Sima Tong who had been silent.
Who is the person in "Sima Bada" who always firmly supports Sima Yi?
It is this old seventh Sima Tong.
When Sima Tong was young, he participated in the act of coercing the Cao family and killing the loyal and kindness of the Cao family many times, so he gained the trust of Sima Yi's lineage. When he was old, he rarely participated in political affairs because of his lack of energy, but he still supported Sima Shi and Sima Zhao behind his back.
Now that I see the sixth brother Sima Jin and the eighth brother Sima Min force Sima Yan, I naturally help.
Without mentioning the two sides, they were verbally sarcastic and ridiculed each other. Sima Shi, who was sitting in the main seat, closed his eyes in pain due to eye disease, sighed in his heart, and said in his mind: Ji Zhao said that the lonely eye disease is terminally ill and his life span is less than one year. If he is stimulated again, he may die within a few months...
The Lone King must clear the obstacles for Sima Zhao and Sima Yan before his death, whether it is the Cao family or the original family...
Sima Yan is indeed a human being as Qi Uncle said. Although he is small in nature and will revenge his grudges, he will not commit suicide. Then Sima Biao's death must be strange, but now the Lone King does not have so much time to find enemies for Sima Biao?
The court is unstable now, and Chen Tai from Longxi is still confronting Jiang Wei. Dongwu is ready to move. It would be unwise to spend all his time on Sima Biao!
But if we cannot avenge Sima Biao, the fifth and eighth uncles will never give up...
Unless... Sima Shi gently opened his eyes and looked towards the Luoyang Palace...
After about half a stick of incense, Sima Shi had a plan in his mind. Seeing that the people of the tribe were still making noise, he frowned and said angrily: "What is the difference between you and the people in the market now?"
Then, without waiting for Sima Min to speak, Sima Shi said coldly: "Before the family meeting, Gu had already asked Jia Chong to find out the situation. Sima Biao's death had nothing to do with An Shi, and it was done by the old man Tian Yu!"
"Tian Yu is a treacherous and vicious person, foolish and loyal to the Cao family, and he often hates him. Unexpectedly, this person attacked our Sima family and could be killed!"
"The order of the orphan was passed on, and the guards led the imperial guards to surround Tian Yu's mansion, and all the three tribes of Tian Yu were killed on the spot."
"I'm lonely."
After saying that, before Sima Min and Sima Jin could speak, Sima Shi left quickly.
This strategy was temporarily thought of by Sima Shi. He would blame Sima Biao for the death of Tian Yu, and he could get rid of the loyal ministers of the Cao family, and Sima Min.
This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, Sima Shi would never have thought that he was plaguing Tian Yu by chance. In fact, there was indeed Tian Yu's plan behind it...
Sima Yan was overjoyed after hearing this. Sima Shi helped him. On the surface, he was just protecting his nephew, but in fact he had the intention of making him the prince of Jin.
Unlike Sima Zhao, Sima Yan and his son's joy, Sima Jin and others' faces were covered with haze.
Is Tian Yu dare to kill Sima Biao?
Does Sima think they are so fooled like children?
Obviously they don't believe it.
Sima Min nodded to Sima Jin and said that after the tribe dispersed, the two went to Sima Min's mansion to plan.
