Sima Shi returned to Luoyang, looking a little depressed, although he recovered Hanoi this time, but he shot late, Hanoi has long been eaten away by Cao Liang, the originally extremely rich Hanoi County, now only has an empty shelf, sparse people, the city is broken,

Especially the annihilation of the Sima family in Wenxian County, which made Sima Shi angry, this is like digging the ancestral grave of the Sima family, and at the same time when the Sima family seized the power of Cao Wei, it was like a slap in the face.

The most hateful thing is that Cao Liang, the dog thief, was very treacherous, and after getting enough oil and water in Hanoi, he actually evacuated decisively, so that Sima Shi's idea of looking forward to a decisive battle with him in Hanoi finally failed.

Sima Shi had to retreat in a huff, after all, he was not ready to march into the state, and the logistics support alone was a huge problem, and if he wanted to enter the state, he must at least be more prepared.

Today's Sima Shi is no longer as impulsive as he was at the beginning, if it was ten or eight years earlier, maybe Sima Shi would really lead the army into the state in one go.

And now, he can face all this rationally, although the hatred with Cao Liang is as deep as the sea, but he knows that now is not the best opportunity for revenge, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, he has been waiting for nearly ten years, do you care about waiting for a while and a half?

Sima Yi's position has not changed now, he is still a Taifu, but he used to be a titan in name only, but now he is a Taifu who is sitting on power, on the surface, everything seems to be the same, but in fact, it has changed dramatically.

The reason why Sima Yi did not have other titles was actually to deliberately downplay the impact of this mutiny, and after killing Cao Shuang, Sima Yi immediately announced in a high-profile manner that he would welcome the Empress Dowager back to the palace and let the Son of Heaven be in power.

Cao Shuang's biggest failure is to refuse the Son of Heaven and expel the Queen Mother under house arrest, although the Son of Heaven in this era has long since lost the authority of the first three emperors of Cao Wei, but in the hearts of the subjects of the world, the Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven after all, that is a symbol of imperial power, there is no doubt about this, if today's son has become an adult, Cao Shuang has repeatedly rejected his pro-government, that is not equivalent to telling the world that you are coveting the throne?

Therefore, Sima Yi used Cao Shuang to plot against his three clans, but he still got the support of a considerable number of people, and Cao Shuang's house arrest of the Queen Mother made people even more criticized, the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, and it is the royal dignity and dignity, what is your intention in imprisoning her?

Sima Yi is much smarter in this regard, welcoming the Queen Mother back to the palace and letting the Son of Heaven govern in person, what a great and righteous thing, just these two points, Sima Yi has been supported by those scholars who obey the royal family.

But does this have an impact on Sima Yi? Not at all, even if it is the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, if you put a piece of music in front of him, can he understand it? What's more, Sima Yi has already done something in these cantatas, and the recitals that really involve the core affairs of the imperial court have already been deducted by him, and what is piled up in front of Cao Fang is just some insignificant trivial matters, and the thick handful is placed there for Cao Fang to review, Cao Fang, who has never been in contact with the affairs of the imperial court, is like a dog biting a hedgehog - there is nowhere to eat, and in the end he can only return to Shangshutai.

After Sima Shi returned to Luoyang, he told Sima Yi about the affairs of Hanoi, Sima Yi heard it, and sighed: "Get it without being greedy, act decisively, this Cao Liang will be my Sima clan's enemy from now on!" ”

Sima Shi said: "What my father said is very true, now Cao Liang is merged, like a tiger into the mountains and forests, if it is not overcome as soon as possible, it will be a great disaster for me, the child returned to Beijing this time, is to discuss with his father, as soon as possible to enter the state and cut off this scourge." ”

Sima Yi shook his head lightly and said, "Although we have controlled the situation in Luoyang, we are still surrounded by strong enemies, and the one who needs to be dealt with most now is not Cao Liang of Bingzhou, but Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou." Wang Ling has a heavy army in Huainan, for example, he is at odds with his father, this Luoyang incident, I am afraid that Wang Ling will use this as a reason to seek self-reliance, so it is imperative to stabilize Wang Ling first. ”

Sima Shi's expression also became solemn, although it was said that many families in Luoyang supported their Sima family in this incident, but not all forces could be encircled by them, in addition to Cao Liang, there were also strong enemies like Wang Ling Xia Hou Xuan, which really needed to be dealt with seriously.

"Then what did my father do?"

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and said: "Wang Ling is better than his father, and he is earlier than his father, but now he is subordinate to his father, naturally he is a lot of resentment, if he is promoted to one of the three princes this time, he can also temporarily stabilize him, so that he will not act rashly, and when the time is ripe, he will be taken down in one fell swoop and cut off the disaster!" ”

"Father's clever plan," Sima Shi just praised it, and then thought of something, "Father promoted Wang Ling to Tai Lieutenant, so how does Tai Lieutenant Jiang arrange it?" ”

The positions of the three princes in the court are extremely noble, but it is also a radish and a pit, Sima Yi arranged Wang Ling to be the captain, what should the original lieutenant Jiang Ji do?

Sima Yi's expression became a little indifferent, and he said lightly: "You said Jiang Ji, he is dead." ”

Sima Shi was taken aback, it had only been a few days since he left Luoyang, why did Jiang Ji die? I remember that before leaving, Jiang Ji also saw him off, healthy and healthy, this time the Sima family mutiny, Jiang Ji also made a great contribution, it was because he went to Gaopingling in danger and persuaded Cao Shuang to surrender, so that the Sima family soldiers solved Cao Shuang's big problem without blood.

What Sima Shi didn't know was that Jiang Ji died because of this incident, when Jiang Ji went to Gaopingling and swore to Cao Shuang that as long as he handed over the military power, Sima Yi could guarantee his net worth and life, and ensure that he could be a rich man without worrying about food and clothing.

This condition was agreed by Sima Yi at that time, and pointed to Luo Shui and swore a heavy oath, so that Jiang Ji dared to pack the ticket in front of Cao Shuang.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Shuang returned to Beijing, Sima Yi turned his face and put Cao Shuang and other people in prison on the charge of rebellion, and made it clear that the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven were executed on the same day.

Jiang Ji was an upright person, and he was extremely shocked when he heard the news, and immediately ran to see Sima Yi and asked him to keep his promise and keep people under the knife.

Of course, Sima Yi would not let go of Cao Shuang because of Jiang Ji's plea, and prevaricated Jiang Ji on the grounds that the rebellion was incompatible. Of course, Jiang Ji knew Sima Yi's methods and tricks, and argued with reason, but Sima Yi had made up his mind and never let go.

Jiang Ji resented Sima Yi's dishonesty, and Sima Yi was also annoyed that he didn't know the times, and the two finally broke up unhappily.

Jiang Ji thought that he had lost his trust in Cao Shuang, and he was extremely depressed, and on the day of Cao Shuang's ambush, Jiang Ji vomited several liters of blood, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and died the next day.
