Sima Yi sighed after reading the letter in his hand.

Sima Shi sat aside, tilting his head, looking at the thin wooden coffins, his face expressionless, but his eyes were a little sneering.

Sima Zhao wanted to remain silent, waiting for Sima Yi to say it himself, but Sima Yi didn't react for a long time, so he had to take the initiative to ask: "Ah Weng, what does this Cao Xianggong mean?" ”

Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao, then came back to his senses and handed him the letter in his hand. "See for yourself."

Sima Zhao took the letter and read it, and was even more puzzled. Cao Miao's letter was written very politely. Although he was not sure when he would marry Sima Guo, he also expressed his willingness to abide by the marriage contract and only wait for him to complete his task and return to Luoyang.

"It's not ...... Isn't it good? Sima Zhao said: "The little sister is not very old, so it is okay to wait for two years." ”

"Stupid." Sima Shi waved the long sword in his hand and slapped Sima Zhao. "These people fell into the sea and drowned, but there is no trace of this letter falling into the water, and there is no problem?"

"What's wrong with that? Maybe they didn't have it with them when they fell into the sea. ”

Sima Shi rolled his eyes and turned his head, not wanting to talk to Sima Zhao anymore.

"Ziyuan, what do you think will happen?"

Sima Shi slashed the ground with a long sword. "There are eleven messengers, and none of them survive, so naturally there should be someone who doesn't want us to know what they have discovered."

Sima Zhao said: "Cao Miao acted with the princess of Wu, could it be that the princess of Wuguo restricted his freedom? ”

"It was Tian Fu who killed the people, do you think Tian Fu will listen to Sun Dahu's orders?" Sima Shi sneered: "Sun Dahu is a stupid woman, she can't restrain Cao Miao, she will only be deceived by Cao Miao." This matter must be Cao Miao's idea, I just can't figure it out, where is Cao Miao? ”

"Nature is in Liaodong. Didn't Biqiu Jian say that Sun Dahu was in Liaokou. ”

Sima Shi pondered for a moment and shook his head. "If it's Liaokou, it will take too long. I suspect that Cao Miao is not in Liaokou. But in this case, who will give advice to Sun Dahu? ”

Sima Zhao was confused, not knowing what Sima Shi was talking about.

Sima Yi said lightly: "Zhou Yi." ”

"Zhou Yi?" Sima Shi's eyes tightened. "Ah Weng, how can you see it?"

Sima Yi said lightly: "Zhou Yi is a young man in Wu Guo, who is in the limelight, guarding Poyang, and has a great stake. It stands to reason that Cao Su made trouble in Poyang for a while, and he was either rewarded for his meritorious service or moved to the left because of his mistakes, but there should be no news at all. But for most of the past six months, Zhou Yi seems to have disappeared, and there is no news. I thought about it, but I was afraid that he would be sent to Liaodong by Sun Quan. ”

Sima Shi was stunned. "If Ah Weng's speculation is true, then Sun Dahu didn't just come to Liaodong to form an alliance. This week, Yi became famous for defrauding Cao Xiu, and sending him to negotiate was not boring. ”

"Yes, it's like you and me." Sima Yi sighed again. "Let's do things well and don't ask too much questions. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. ”

Sima Yi took the letter from Sima Zhao and slowly smoothed it down. "It's good to be reaped, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"This thing...... That's it? Sima Zhao said.

"Ziyuan, you write a letter to express your gratitude to Tian Fu." Sima Yi waved his hand. "So be it."

Sima Zhao looked at Sima Shi, but Sima Shi looked blank and didn't respond.

——

The lights flickered, and Sima Yi leaned against the desk, closing his eyes and resting.

Sima Shi pushed the door in, closed the door again, sat down opposite Sima Yi lightly, put a written letter on the table, and pushed it over. "Ah Weng, the letter is written, please Ah Weng take a look."

Sima Yi opened his eyes and lightly tapped the letter with his fingers, but his eyes looked at Sima Shi. "Ziyuan, do you hate Cao Miao?"

Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"I hate him." Sima Yi clenched his fists, and his voice became cold. "He harmed me, he humiliated me, and I had nothing to say. It was my own inconsiderate thinking that revealed my flaws, and I deserved it. But when he hurts you, he implicates the innocent, and he deceives people too much. ”

Sima Shi's nose was sour, tears welled up, and he hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hand to wipe it.

"However, our Hanoi Sima clan is not the Ruying Xun clan, the Zhong clan, or even the Xin clan." Sima Yi sighed. "Your uncle died young, and he did not become a minister. I hesitated for a while, wasted the years, and took a step slower when I entered the curtain. Later, I hurried and hurried, and finally caught up with the big event of seizing the heir. I thought that I would soar into the sky from now on, who would have thought ......"

Sima Yi smashed the table hard and sighed. "Under the fence, what can you do except swallow your anger?"

Sima Shi was silent for a moment. "Ah Weng, so it's possible that the Son of Heaven is indeed surnamed Yuan?"

Sima Yi nodded. "Nine times out of ten."

"Do the Cao brothers have any evidence in their hands?"

"I don't know." Sima Yi's eyes narrowed. "In the sixth year of the early Huang Dynasty, Emperor Wen went on his last expedition to the east, and when he returned to the army, he passed through Yongqiu, had a secret conversation with Cao Zhi, and then increased the number of Yi by 500. I thought it was strange at the time, and now that I think about it, it should have been a sign, but I was too slow to understand. ”

Sima Shi's voice trembled. "Awn, you mean ......"

"Ziyuan, at that time, Emperor Wen had been on the throne for six years, but he had not established a crown prince for a long time. Why do you say that? ”

Sima Shi's face changed several times, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his sideburns.

Sima Yi continued: "If my guess is correct, Emperor Wen should have an agreement with Cao Zhi. I can't guess what the agreement is. In the past few days, I have thought carefully for a long time and thought of a possibility, but I can't verify it. ”

"What is possible?"

"Cao Zhi came forward to testify that it is not the bloodline of Emperor Wen and test the minds of hundreds of officials."

Sima Shi was dumbfounded. "This ...... How can it be? ”

"Don't you think it's impossible?" Sima Yi smiled silently. "It's because it's impossible, so no one thinks it's fake. If the hundred officials believe it, naturally there is nothing to say, and Emperor Wen will push the boat down the river and expel Jinshang, at least he can be excluded from the crown prince. Or if the officials don't believe it, the responsibility will be borne by Cao Zhi, and then the edict will be responsible, and then pardoned by the queen mother. ”

Sima Yi knocked lightly, and said quietly: "It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and before Cao Zhi was launched, Emperor Wen was seriously ill." Speaking of which, the south gate of Xuchang City collapsed at a really good time, and it was only ten days away from the secret meeting between Emperor Wen and Cao Zhi. ”

Sima Shi was speechless for a long time. No matter how slow he reacted, he could hear Sima Yi's words. What kind of providence is this, this is simply a human scheme, and the purpose is very clear, that is, to Cao Pi's life. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence, Cao Pi was just about to enter Xuchang, and the city gate that he had to pass through collapsed.

"Aong, the man behind this scene...... Who will it be? ”
