Chapter 238, reckoning
"There is no trace of Zuo Ci and Yu Ji in the underworld. Or Yan Jun acted privately and hid the two. If so, I am not in a position to look into details. Leave this matter alone for now. Tai Yan still didn't move, and he tossed by himself, and the operation against Yuding was temporarily canceled, so as not to be caught. Take the opportunity to contact Sima Zhao to help him sweep away Shu Han and promote great changes in the world as planned. Also, pay close attention to Sima Shun. ”
After reading the letter in his hand, Zai Yu was a little lost. He has only accepted three disciples so far, Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and E'er. E'er did not hesitate to be trapped in the array space with Tai Yan, and now Zuo Ci and Yu Ji are also sacrificed because of the plan. Although they are chess pieces that have been set a long time ago, when they are really used to play, they are still a little reluctant.
He shook his head vigorously and threw the letter into the brazier. Now is not the time to be reluctant to think so much. Just follow the instructions in the letter and just do it. For now, you might as well go and meet Sima Shun first.
Sima Shun is Sima Zhao's cousin, and his status in this huge family is not low. But if there is anything worth noting, it is not just the title of Sakura, and there are not a hundred or eighty candidates in Luoyang. Moreover, Sima Shun's power in the court is not high, and his political position is not with Sima Zhao.
He is Cao Wei's loyal minister, a real loyal minister, different from the group of chaotic ministers and thieves at home, and different from Sima Fu's old fox who is used to doing performance kung fu, he is loyal to Cao Wei from the heart.
This is a little embarrassing, Sima Zhao didn't dare to use him, for fear that he would make trouble for himself. The emperor who changed his name from Cao Huang to Cao Huan and the Empress Dowager Guo, who was in the harem, did not dare to use him, because his surname was Sima. The people who were attached to the Sima clan were not close to him, and the courtiers who were loyal to the royal family hated him, and Sima Shun's life was not smooth at all.
Walking out of the main hall, everyone else was in twos and threes, and Sima Zhao was surrounded by a large group. And he is the only one. Now that the matter of the garrison was discussed, Jiang Wei had always gone on a northern expedition at every turn in the past few years, which posed a great threat to the border passes. The nearby garrison is a method proposed for the Northern Expedition of Shu Han, and the method is very good and can save a lot of costs.
Sima Shun still didn't say anything about this method, he hadn't spoken in the court for a long time. Today's court meeting, in his opinion, is a bit of a miasma.
A group of high-ranking and powerful people, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of the pros and cons, as long as it is Sima Zhao, they all agree. The emperor was young and had no power in his hands, so he had to let Sima Zhao exercise power.
He was a little angry and a little worried. Now Sima's reputation among the people is very stinky, and the people don't have it on their lips, but they have a lot of complaints in their hearts. The pot of killing the monarch can't be shaken off.
Thinking about it, he walked out of the palace gate, boarded his carriage, and told the coachman to hurry slowly, and there was nothing to do when he went back early. It's just a mess now, and those people in the family want to replace the Cao family as soon as possible, and they also have an addiction to the royal family.
Zai Yu watched Sima Shun's carriage leave, the carriage was really a little dilapidated, compared with the other Rao frames of the Sima family, it was really different. It seems that Sima Shun's life in the family is not easy, but this person is willing to be a loyal minister of Cao Wei, and may be able to play a lot of roles after death.
Zai Yu didn't stay at the palace gate for too long, he saw an old man, this old man he knew, and he had seen the portrait. It's the old guy of Yuding Zhenren, the old man is still holding a child who looks like he is only a teenager, and he doesn't need to look closely to know that it is the city god of Luoyang, and he has not been able to grow into a big Rao Nezha until now.
Zai Yu decisively chose to avoid it, and now that there was no one available in his hands, it was not appropriate to contact them directly. Moreover, it was also clearly stated in the letter received earlier that the operation against Yuding was temporarily cancelled.
There were many vendors at the gate of the palace, all of whom came early in the morning, in order to occupy a good position and make some money from these dignitaries. The officials and gentlemen are generous, and they never ask the price code when they buy things, so they are excellent customers.
Yuding bought some food for Nezha again, and looking at the child's face, it seemed to be much smoother than when they met before.
"Nezha, let's start eating less tomorrow, look at you, you've gained a lot of weight. ”
Nezha tilted his head, rolled his eyes, and teased: "Isn't Shi Bomo shy?"
"How is it possible, when I came out, the public money that Da Yan Jun gave me was a lot of money! I'm just worried that if you eat like this, you will become like Da Yan Jun, and when you return to the realm in the future, your father won't recognize you. ”
"Hmph, he wishes I was fat! How long will Uncle Shi stay in the world? If the money can't be spent, I'll be happy to help!"
Yu Ding glanced at him and sneered: "I know that you have taken a fancy to my little belongings, there is no way! I want to go to your master! Your master has been mixing in the world all these years, and there are a lot of treasures that I want to accumulate, you dig two pieces from him, and you are sure to make a fortune!"
Nezha pursed his lips and said, "How can there be a reason for an apprentice to pit the master!"
"Then you will come to pit me, the uncle!" Yu Ding slapped his head hard.
Nezha was in pain, reached out and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "This is not the public money of the underworld!"
"You can't spend public funds indiscriminately! What should I do if I spend too much Yan Jun and they don't reimburse them! You know, Yan Jun in the underworld is very angry!"
"Didn't the master take it from the treasury in advance, and paid it in advance?"
Yuding nodded, and was a little anxious when he came out, and he didn't have time to go through the procedure of withdrawing money. Withdrawing money from the prefectural government is a very troublesome thing and requires a lot of processes.
"Tut, uncle, most of you were fooled by the Great Yan Jun, and he probably won't reimburse you when you turn around. ”
"Oh?
"You know, the Yan Jun of the underworld is shrewd!"
Yuding's face is a little cloudy, the boss shouldn't be so unreliable, right?
"Uncle Shi, look over there, it seems that they are selling candied fruit, let's go buy some!"
"Hey, you, save me some money!"
There was a fortune-telling stall on the street in front of the General's Palace, and an old man sat cross-legged on a straw mat with a simple wooden table in front of him. There is a signboard hanging in front of the table, on which are written two lines of big characters: "Calculate the great cause of a thousand years, look at the face and look at the gods and look at the emperors and generals." ”
When Sima Zhao's frame walked past the fortune-telling stall, the old man shouted loudly: "Kunlun is a true immortal, and it falls into the world." Don't deceive people, don't deceive ghosts, fortune telling a penny!"
"Stop!"
Sima Zhao pulled the curtain, looked at the fortune teller, and said, "You are a Kunlun True Immortal?"
Lao Lou waved his sleeves and replied: "Yes, Lao Dao was born when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, entered Kunlun Mountain for more than 200 years, and now he has entered the world to transform sentient beings. ”
"Hehe, do you know who I am?"
"I know, Sima Zhao, the general of the Wei State, a few people don't know, and a few people don't know. ”
Sima Zhao's face changed, and he said: "You demon Dao, since you know who I am, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me, left and right, take it for me." ”
The armor rushed up, but they all stopped three steps away from the old man, it was not very accurate to stop, it was accurate that the movements were slowed down many times, and every move was extremely slow, if you didn't look closely, you only felt that it was frozen in place.
"It's ridiculous that mortals seek immortals all day long, and immortals lack faces, but they don't know it. ”
The old man shook his head, closed his eyes, and went straight to pranayama.
Sima Zhao hurriedly got off the carriage and bowed to the old man: "Zhao doesn't know that the true immortal is in front of him, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Now there are many demons, and under the pretense of the will of the immortals, they are making trouble everywhere, and I am also a little overly cautious. ”
"It's okay, do you want to do the math?"
"I want it, and I invite the immortal to take a look. ”
The old man nodded, but his eyes didn't open, but he understood his head up and down, and said: "The general's life of great wealth and wealth can be sealed as a king and tear the soil, but he can be a general, but he can't be the emperor." ”
"The immortals haven't seen it, how can they get such a result?"
"As it turned out, whether you believe it or not. ”
Sima Zhao's eyes rolled and said, "Shangxian, is there a way to change your life?"
"No, if there were, I would have picked one from my family and changed him to the emperor's order. ”
"Thank you for the guidance of the immortal master, this is a penny, please take it well. ”
Sima Zhao put a five-baht coin in his hand on the old man's table, turned around and got into the carriage. After walking only ten steps forward, he suddenly ordered: "Capture the demon Dao of Fang Cai and press it to the General's Mansion." ”
The soldiers took the order and left, but after a moment, they quickly turned back.
"General, the old man is gone, and the tables and signboards are gone. ”
"Are there any signs of movement?"
"No, nothing has changed, like... It's like no one has ever been here!"
