The most ugly face was Jiang Wei, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, as a general, he was already a very popular minister, and His Majesty had no choice but to add himself the Marquis of Xixiang.

What should I do if I can make meritorious service later? Give the county marquis again? Where should he go when there is no seal? Even if Liu Chan trusts himself no matter how much he trusts him, he will not tolerate people with high merit to stay by his side.

Yan Yu and Zhao Tong were also delighted, this reward was in their expectations, they were now extremely popular, and they couldn't ask for the name behind them.

And Chen Zhou and Chen Shou just looked as usual, and they didn't have much joy or worry, they were the Shu Shi clan, His Majesty was worried that too much promotion of the Shi clan would empty the imperial power, so the local Shi clan has always had no power, it seems that the official position is promoted, but in fact, the power has not changed.

After the reward, Liu Chan looked around at everyone and said, "If there is nothing to do, today's temporary council will end here, and tomorrow morning will go to court normally!" ”

"It's okay!" Everyone replied in unison.

Liu Chan looked at Liu Yao again and said, "Yao'er will go back and prepare first, and then leave tomorrow morning, and the early dynasty will not be used." ”

"The retainers obey!" Liu Yao hugged his fists and saluted, did not stop, turned around and left.

He had more things to worry about in his heart, Nanzhong had suffered such a change, even Meng Qian had died, and he had not received news from Meng Tai and Meng Lingyue, if Meng Yining knew about it, how sad she would be.

All the way back to Anding Palace, the sky gradually approached dusk.

When Liu Yao returned home, he took off his armor, changed into civilian clothes, and hurriedly packed his clothes and bags.

Meng Yining walked to his side and saw Liu Yao packing his clothes and bags, so he asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Liu Yao sighed and replied, "Tomorrow I will go to envoy Soochow." I didn't dare to tell her what happened in Nanzhong, so I could only delay it for a day.

"Be careful all the way, I'll wait for you to come back." Meng Yining said softly.

Liu Yao just nodded, this time the mission was very hasty and shabby, he was completely unprepared, hastily packed his bags and rode a fast horse towards the barracks.

It is definitely not safe to let him go on his own mission, Liu Yao is also more sparing about his life, Chen She has always been by his side as a guard, but Chen She has also made a great contribution in Jiang Youcheng, and His Majesty will definitely reward Chen She at the court meeting tomorrow, and it is a little inappropriate to let Chen She stay by his side.

So Liu Yao planned to call Wen Yang over to guard him, Wen Yang was only a military marquis for the time being, and he didn't hold any important military positions, so transferring him had no effect.

Before leaving, Liu Yao repeatedly instructed the moon shadow in the mansion not to tell Meng Yining, no matter what news she got outside, and try to leave Meng Yining in the mansion and not let her go out.

Although Moon Shadow didn't understand it, she still nodded and agreed to Liu Yao.

That night, Chen Shou sat quietly in his own house, he always had a dream, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms history that lasted for nearly a hundred years to be recorded for future generations, although now only recorded in the chronicles of Shu Han, in the future one day the world will be unified, he will go to investigate Wei and Wu, and record what he has seen and heard into his book.

Chen Shou carefully took out a brand-new bamboo slip and deeply engraved "Three Kingdoms - Shu Shu - Liu Yao Biography" on it with a knife and pen

"Yao, the second son of the lord of Shu, was the middle when he was young, and was awarded the king of Anding County, in the first year of Yanxing, Wei Fa Shu, the lord of Shu surrendered, Yao got out of trouble and saved it, borrowed troops in Nanzhong, called Jiang, King Yan Qin, and finally restored the Han court, Yao awarded the king of Qin, at the age of twenty-four."

After recording this paragraph, Chen Shou nodded with satisfaction, he had no hope for the Shu Han regime from the bottom of his heart, and planned to take Wei as orthodox in his book, so the Western Shu Han Kingdom was only called Shu, Shu was the contemptuous name of Wei and Wu for Ji Han, Chen Shou did not dare to let others see that no matter who ruled the world in the future, he would have to record it according to his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, the temperature in Chengdu City plummeted, and there was a rare goose feather snowfall, Meng Yining looked at the scene that she had never seen outside in Anding Palace, and was as excited as a deer, where had she seen snow in Nanzhong.

Standing in the snow, he took a crystal clear snowflake in his hand, and said to himself: "I don't know if he is gone, such a big snow, and it is so far to go to Dongwu, how should he go." ”

Liu Yao couldn't help but sneeze in the barracks, and said to Wen Yang beside him: "This damn ghost weather, we can't wait, we will leave now, and it will be difficult to travel if the snow is a little heavier." ”

Before they had time to say goodbye to anyone, Liu Yao and Wen Yang hurried to Dongwu with their bags.

From the August invasion of Shu by the Wei State to the present, the weather has reached winter, and the war has finally come to an end.

At this time, Luoyang City is like a snow city, everywhere is white, the people are hiding at home with the door closed for the winter, and the snow in the city has reached more than three feet thick.

Sima Ling hurried to the General's Mansion in Luoyang City wearing a thick brocade robe, and saw Sima Yan standing under the gate of the mansion looking sadly at the goose feathers and heavy snow outside.

"Can't you think that Yan'er still has Yaxing to enjoy the snow?" Sima Ling looked at this white and picturesque snow scene, and his unhappy mood was much better.

Sima Yan was in a trance, when he heard someone talking, he saw that it was the fourth uncle Sima Ling, and hurriedly explained: "Ah? It's the fourth uncle who is here! Where will I enjoy the snow, but looking at the heavy snow in Luoyang, I'm afraid this year will be another catastrophe. ”

Looking at the more than three feet of snow, Sima Ling's mood was lost again, and he sighed: "With so much snow, the millet seedlings in the people's fields should also be crushed, and the harvest is not optimistic!" ”

Sima Yan also nodded in deep agreement, and then asked, "Is there anything going on in the fourth uncle's house?" ”

Hearing Sima Yan ask, Sima Ling remembered what was going on, and said with a serious face: "There is news over there in Shudi." ”

Sima Yan's face immediately changed, knowing that this was not a trivial matter, and hurriedly said, "Fourth Uncle entered the mansion and said. ”

Entering the mansion and taking a seat, the servants lit the stove and made hot tea for Sima Yan and Sima Ling, and the cold chill on Sima Ling's body subsided.

"Fourth uncle, please tell me in detail!" Sima Yan couldn't wait to ask.

Sima Ling here drank a cup of hot tea, and a warm current poured into his chest, and then he began to say in a deep voice: "There is news from Jia Chong's side, the Liangzhou reinforcements encountered the Shu Han Northwest Army, and they could only retreat to Hanzhong under the attack on both sides, Deng Ai also led the army back to Hanzhong, and the captured Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials were rescued by the Han army. ”

Sima Yan's brows became more and more furrowed, and he sighed solemnly: "This battle of Shu, all of them are lost!" ”

Sima Ling also lamented: "What's worse is that news also came from Liangzhou, the bald and humble Ruo Luo Ba can take advantage of the situation to seize Liangzhou, assassinate Shi Yang Xin in battle, and the whole territory of Liangzhou has fallen." ”

"What?" Sima Yan's face changed greatly, and he stood up in shock: "Yang Xin's guy is really a waste, he actually lost my Liangzhou Racecourse!" ”

Sima Ling was also very shocked when he received the news at first, and now they were not facing the pressure caused by Shu and Wu, but the subsequent impact of the defeat of Shu and the loss of Liangzhou.

After this change, the prestige of the Sima family was lost, and if there was no preparation, those who were secretly loyal to the Cao family would definitely be ready to move.

Now the only way is to force Cao Huanchan to let Sima Zhao ascend the throne and become emperor, break the thoughts of those people, and also revitalize the prestige of the Sima family.

So Sima Ling said: "This matter should be reported to the general, let the general decide!" ”

Who knew that Sima Yan just frowned and was silent, and only replied after a long time: "Father, he.... The doctor said that his father had a heart disease, and he should not have any mood swings, otherwise he might not survive this winter. ”

Sima Ling also heard about Sima Zhao's current condition, and he suddenly had no idea, if these things were not reported to Sima Zhao, who could decide, so he could only ask: "How do you think to deal with it?" ”

Sima Yan is Sima Zhao's eldest son, once Sima Zhao has any three strengths and two weaknesses, Sima Yan will take over Sima Zhao's prince, and all military affairs will be decided by him, so Sima Ling will ask him.

"Fourth uncle, go back first, I'll deal with this matter." Sima Yan had already regained his demeanor and replied in a deep voice.

This was taught to him by his grandfather Sima Yi, not to panic when encountering anything, and to prevent Mount Tai from collapsing before and not changing color.

Sima Ling could only bow his hand and retreat first, he had to go back to strengthen the jurisdiction of Luoyang City, for fear that the little emperor would have some kind of moth.

Sima Yan sat quietly in the mansion alone, thinking about it for a long time and not thinking of any ideas, the only way was to let his father force Cao Wan to take the throne, but according to his father's current physical state, I am afraid that he would not be able to do this.

But Sima Yan can't overstep his authority, before Sima Zhao died, Sima Yan did anything unjustly, and everyone was intimidated by Sima Zhao's power and didn't dare to obey Sima Yan's words.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was still no way, and before I knew it, a long time had passed, Sima Yan thought that it was time to feed his father medicine, got up and left and walked towards Sima Zhao's bedroom.

In Sima Zhao's bedroom, the imperial doctor had already decocted the medicine, and after Sima Yan tasted the medicinal soup, he felt that the temperature was just right, so he walked to Sima Zhao's bed with the medicinal soup.

Sima Zhao was still asleep, his former handsome face was pale, looking at his sleeping father, Sima Yan thought of what he had asked.

At that time, Sima Zhao had just forced the little emperor Cao Chao to canonize him as the Duke of Jin, and everyone felt a hint of other meaning.

Sima Yan was very puzzled and asked him if he wanted to follow Cao Pi's example of seizing the Cao family's rivers and mountains in the Han Dynasty, but Sima Zhao replied that he would follow Cao Cao and keep the matter of seizing the throne and becoming emperor in the future.

Sima Yan asked him why? Sima Zhao replied with soft eyes that it was not that he did not want to be the emperor, but that he did not dare to face the sincere heart of his uncle Sima Fu, and he did not dare to forget the poisonous oath that he had been forced by Sima Yi on the bank of the Weishui River to only be a courtier of the Wei State for the rest of his life.

At that moment, Sima Yan knew that there was not only power in the eyes of these people, but also promises, and in their eyes, promises were greater than power.

Regardless of what interests are said, people have feelings, Cao Cao can't forget Xun Yu's melancholy eyes, Sima Yi can't forget Cao Rui's advice before he died, and Sima Zhao can't forget the poisonous oath he once made.
