Chapter 16 How many days can the flowers bloom on the branches, how many life in the world(1/2)

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the hall suddenly became silent...

Who is Sima Yong, the Shizhong?

The Sima family is also a child.

If this is the case, it would be fine. At most, Jia Chong thought that Emperor Wei would please Sima Shi, but Sima Yong was not an ordinary Sima family.

He is Sima Fu's eldest son!

So who is Sima Fu?

Sima Yi's third brother, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao's third uncle.

Without mentioning Liu Rang's incredible expression, Jia Chong himself was even more surprised. Did the Emperor of Wei... have he inferred wrongly?

It seems like a waste of time to travel.

Jia Chong smiled bitterly in his heart, bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty already has a candidate in his heart, I will not make the decision without authorization."

This sentence seems to be light and light, but actually has two meanings. The first is the meaning on the surface. Jia Chong no longer insists on being the prince's servant. The second is that this matter is revealed and the Sima family will not make things difficult for him again.

"I'm tired."

Cao Cao naturally understood, but this matter was gone, and he was too lazy to continue talking nonsense to Jia Chong.

"I'm leaving."

When Jia Chong saw Cao Cao's face showed bad intentions, he bowed with tactfulness and took the opportunity to leave.

Looking at Jia Chong's slowly leaving, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, planning for Jia Chong and planning for Sima Shi, seemingly aggressive and moving forward step by step.

But in fact, it is like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss.

If you are not careful, you will die and destroy the country.

If Sima Yong had not moved out today, I am afraid that the imperial guards would break into the palace and deposed emperor the next moment.

But... this Sima Yong...

Cao Cao frowned.

He was indeed not very familiar with him in his past and present lives. The reason he proposed him was because his father Sima Fu.

In Cao Mao's memory, every time Sima Fu went to court, he did not speak out whether it was the Wei Emperor's tit-for-tat or the Sima Shi's aggressiveness. However, when Sima Fu learned that Sima Shi killed Emperor Cao Fang of Wei, he knelt in front of Cao Fang's body and cried, and never went to court again.

There seemed to be signs of breaking with the Sima family.

When Cao Cao recalled this in his mind, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The emperor who cried and died...

Never go to court...

It is difficult to show that Sima Fuzhong is in the Cao family based on these two things alone, but Jia Chong pressed him step by step and had no choice but to use Sima Fu's son as a shield. In this way, Jia Chong could not refuse even if he wanted to.

"Sima Shuda..."

Cao Cao murmured to himself.

Although Sima Fu was one of the "Sima Bada" and was very talented, it was easy for people to ignore it in the Cao Cao era.

The same is true for Cao Cao himself.

Cao Cao valued Sima Fang and Sima Lang the most important thing about the Sima family.

Sima Fang was the father of Sima Yi. He was honest and fair. He was a famous gentleman in the world at that time. He loved reading the biographies of famous officials in the Book of Han and sarcastically lyrics of hundreds of thousands of words. When he was young, he served as an official in prefectures and counties. He served as the commander of Luoyang and Jingzhao Yin. When he was old, he was transferred to the cavalry commander, and was promoted to the rank of the cavalry. He was in charge of the whole family. He was loyal to the Cao family.

Sima Lang was the eldest son of Sima Fang, the eldest brother of Sima Yi, and the head of "Sima Bada". When Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong, Sima Lang was appointed as the Sikong official and served as the Chief of Chenggao, the Chief of Tangyang, the Chief of Yuancheng, the Chief of the Prime Minister, and the Governor of Yanzhou. All of them had political achievements and were deeply loved by the people. Later, Sima Lang, Xiahou Dun, Zang Ba and others conquered the Eastern Wu. When they arrived at Juchaohou, a plague spread in the army. Sima Lang went to inspect and sent medicine himself, so he became infected and died at the age of 47.

After Sima Fang and Sima Lang died, Sima Yi took over the Sima family until the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi led the Sima family to completely control the entire Wei Dynasty.

But the Sima family is not a solid piece of paper.

The first is the so-called "Sima Bada."

What is Sima Bada?

That is Sima Fang’s eight sons:

Sima Lang, the governor of Yanzhou, whose courtesy name is Boda;

Sima Yi, the Taiwei of Wei (Emperor Xuan of Jin), was named Zhongda;

Sima Fu, the chief minister of Wei, whose courtesy name is Shuda;

Sima Kui, the Marquis of Wucheng in Dong of Wei, whose courtesy name is Jida;

Wei Honglu Sima Xun, whose courtesy name is Xianda;

Sima Jin, Wei Zhonglang, whose courtesy name is Huida;

Sima Tong, the Marquis of Anchengting in Wei, whose courtesy name is Yada;

Sima Min, the Marquis of Pingting of Wei, whose courtesy name is Youda.

Because his eight brothers were very talented and all the eight characters had "da", they were respected as "Sima Bada" by people at that time.

Among them, the elder brother Sima Lang followed Cao Cao in his early years and was loyal and died of illness in the 22nd year of Jian'an.

Among the remaining few people, Sima Yi needs to say more.

When his fourth brother Sima Kui learned about the Gaopingling Incident, he was shocked and dissuaded Sima Yi, but was imprisoned and died by Sima Yi.

The fifth brother Sima Xun was weak and sick, and died prematurely.

The sixth brother Sima Jin is still there, and he is neutral in the dispute between the Sima family and the Cao family. He does not help each other and has never intervened in it.

The seventh brother Sima Tong is still alive. In his early years, he agreed with Sima Yi's move to annex the Cao family, believing that the Sima family should replace it. Although he is old, he still supports Sima Shi's actions behind his back.

The eighth brother Sima Min is still there, but he never cared about the government affairs and only studied literature and history, and was a good friend of Du Yu.

When Cao Cao thought of this, his eyes lit up, and he might have the opportunity to use the plan of discord...

In addition to Sima Lang, who died of illness fifty years ago, Sima Kui, who was imprisoned by Sima Yi, Sima Yi, who died in Luoyang in the third year of Jiaping, and Sima Xun, who died of illness prematurely, the "Sima Bada" still survived the third brother Sima Fu, the sixth brother Sima Jin, the seventh brother Sima Tong, and the eighth brother Sima Min.

Among them, Sima Tong still insisted that the Sima family was granted by destiny and that the Cao family would be replaced, but it would not be affected at present.

If you want to sow discord, you must start with Sima Jin and Sima Min.

"The Gu Wang seemed to have heard that Sima Jin's second son Sima Mu had many complaints about Sima Yan, and seemed to have the intention of competing for the prince of Jin. He also seemed to have heard that Sima Min's adopted son Sima Biao was greedy for money and lustful, and was a famous playboy in Luoyang..."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Rang meaningfully, and Liu Rang nodded understandingly: "Please don't worry, Gong Ming, there will be reports in the near future that Sima Biao instructed his subordinates to snatch Sima Yan's concubine. Sima Yan was furious and found out that Sima Mu was the mastermind behind the scenes..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

...

About half an hour later, an order came from the palace.

Announced the appointment of Sima Yong as the prince's servant.

It roughly means that Sima Yong, the son of the Prime Minister Sima Fu, is loyal and kind, and the world praises him and can be appointed as the prince's shepherd.

Originally, this decree was just ordinary, and appointing the prince's servant was a matter of sesame and green beans today.

But appointing the prince's servant is a trivial matter, but appointing Sima Yong as the prince's servant is a more interesting thing.

Because everyone knows that Sima Yong is from the Sima family.

Logically speaking, the emperor should hate the people of the Sima family to the core, so how could he take the initiative to let the people of the Sima family serve as the prince's servant?

Did the emperor really obey the Sima family's orders?

With the release of this decree, the entire Luoyang was caught in speculation. Luoyang was unprecedentedly lively during this period. First, the emperor Cao Mao was rescued by suicide due to humiliation. Then, the emperor woke up and changed his temperament. He actually took a sword and killed the Sima family's confidant, blinded the imperial guards, and beat the Sima family's son. What's even more strange is that Sima Shi had no revenge at all.

And this time, the emperor planned to appoint Sima Yong as the prince's servant.

This time, King Jin is still the same as before, and ignores nothing?

All the forces in Luoyang couldn't help but turn their attention to Sima Shi. Even if the emperor issued an order, Sima Shi, the King of Jin, did not agree, it would be useless.

...

Today, Jia Chong went to the palace to ask himself to be the prince’s servant, and Sima Shi actually knew about it.

However, unexpectedly, Jia Chong failed to become the prince's servant. Instead, the emperor ordered Sima Yong to become the prince's servant. He did not understand the reason in his heart, so Sima Shi immediately sent someone to find Jia Chong.

In the study of the King of Jin's mansion, Sima Shi and Jia Chong sat opposite each other.

"Why didn't Gonglu come into the palace and ask for the prince to be the prince's servant? Instead, the emperor appointed Zikui?" Sima Shi expressed his doubts in his heart, which was too strange.

"This is not known to the emperor. After entering the palace, he recommended himself as the prince's servant, but the emperor refused to allow him and argued with the emperor. The emperor did not dare to force him too much, so he retreated. Unexpectedly, the emperor appointed Prince Zikui." Jia Chong said.

"I don't know what Gong Lu thinks the emperor wants?" Sima Shi was a little puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked Jia Chong again.

"The officials can't understand Cao Mao's thoughts. This matter is indeed too strange. I wonder how King Jin decides about Sima Yong's sacrificial lord for the prince." Jia Chong shook his head and asked.

"Sima Yong is the son of the third uncle. Although he is young and frivolous, his talent and knowledge are still extraordinary. It is enough to be the prince's servant." Sima Shi pondered for a moment and said.

This is the result of Sima Shi's thoughts after several thoughts. Anyway, Sima Yong is from his own family, so there is no reason to refuse.

"But Mr. Zikui had not entered the court before and had insufficient qualifications and experience. This..." Jia Chong had some questions.

"Zikui is from my Sima family, and no one in the court will question it. Don't Gonglu still have official documents to deal with? Let's go down first." Sima Shi's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he directly found an excuse, intending to send Jia Chong away.
To be continued...
