Sima Fu didn't know what his brother and Zhuge Linggong were talking about, standing at the door, waiting, he saw Zhuge Liang who came out in a hurry, Zhuge Liang simply explained a few words to Sima Fu, and left in a hurry, Sima Fu sighed, he knew that his brother's future might be over here, he could see that Zhuge Gong's expression was not good, and the two were likely to have a big quarrel.

He was about to walk in, but suddenly a slave stood in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "The master of the house has an order, and he refuses to see guests..."

"You...", Sima Fu was furious, and immediately wanted to reprimand, how could he be considered a guest, but after thinking for a while, he calmed down, without words, and left here.

In the Houde Palace, Liu Xi's face was gloomy, listening to Zhuge Liang's report.

"Is that really what he says?"

"Exactly."

"What kind of sin is it to commit the following crimes, and to discuss the king?!" , Liu Xi asked angrily, Zhuge Liang was stunned, "Your Majesty, the capital crime is also." ”

"Okay, here's someone!" As soon as Liu Xi spoke, Zhuge Liang suddenly bowed in front of him, "Your Majesty, no!" Liu Xi looked at Zhuge Liang in front of him and squinted his eyes, "Why not?" Why, I can't cure him of his sins? ”

"Zhongda has nothing wrong in his life, for decades, he has been working for the Han Dynasty, and he has made countless contributions... Least to death. Zhuge Liang hurriedly said, he didn't like Sima Yi's temperament, he was an extremely selfish person, but if he didn't like it, he couldn't erase his achievements over the years, not to mention, he wasn't really wrong, if he was executed just because of a few complaints, it was really inappropriate.

Zhuge Liang persuaded for a long time, and the Son of Heaven calmed down, and then said: "What are you afraid of, I don't want to order him to be executed, I just want to talk to him and send someone to take him over..."

"I see, the minister is too worried." , Zhuge Liang said, however, the Son of Heaven did not tell the truth, just now, he saw the killing intent of the Son of Heaven, but he was afraid that if he was later, Zhong Da would die in Huangquan, but these words naturally could not be said, he could only know in his heart, Liu Xi thought for a moment, and then said: "Kong Ming, you still continue to do important things, I want to see Zhong Da in person, rest assured, he will definitely do it." ”

Zhuge Liang then put his mind at ease, he knows the Son of Heaven very well, the Son of Heaven loves talents, as long as Zhong Da can still be used, the Son of Heaven will not easily ask for his life, that is, I hope that when the two meet later, Zhong Da can not make a mistake, if he is talking nonsense like that, I am afraid that I will not be able to save his life, Zhuge Liang did not persuade anything, just said some new proposals for division and rule, chatted for a while, and then left.

Subsequently, the Yellow Gate also set off from the Houde Hall and went to Sima's mansion.

This time, the slave had no way to stop it, and hurriedly got out of the way, and then Sima Yi got into the carriage and drove towards the Houde Palace, sitting in the carriage, Sima Yi's face was still a little happy, he had nothing to do at home all day, he was really tired of such days, he originally wanted to get used to such days, and it was best to spend this life like this, but when he saw the official robe on Zhuge Liang's body, he still couldn't hold back.

This is probably the first time in Sima Yi's life that he has been so out of shape, so angry, after venting, watching Zhuge Liang leave, he suddenly regretted it in his heart, will his words bring ruin to himself and his family? Why would such a steady person do such an unwise thing this time?

He has been cautious all his life, refusing to be contaminated with a little mud, which is different from the bold Zhuge Liang, but despite this, he has never been reused by the Son of Heaven, which makes him very confused, and he can't figure it out, is it because Zhuge Liang is a relative? However, shouldn't relatives be subject to stricter restrictions?

got out of the carriage, Huangmen took him to the Houde Palace, walking on the road, Sima Yi thought about countermeasures, his previous words, it can be said, is a little disrespectful, if the Son of Heaven wants to punish himself, he can't explain it at all, forget it, since it has been said, then simply don't run away, if His Majesty wants to punish, just ask for a favor for his family, and it will be good to keep them safe.

The Son of Heaven is still merciful, and he should not implicate his family because of these things.

Sima Yi thought about these in his heart, and walked into the Houde Palace, Liu Xi lowered his head and closed his eyes, after Sima Yi walked in, the yellow door left, and in the entire hall, there were only two of them left, Liu Xi did not speak, Sima Yi did not dare to speak, and maintained a posture of possession and worship, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

Liu Xi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sima Yi in front of him, "You're here?" ”

"Sinners meet Your Majesty!" , Sima Yi hurriedly bowed to the Son of Heaven again, Liu Xi just waved his hand casually, and said: "Okay, you get up and sit down...", Sima Yi slowly walked in front of the Son of Heaven, sat down carefully, Liu Xi looked at him, "It seems that you have been doing well these days, full of energy..."

"Not really."

"That's not a good time?"

Sima Yi did not answer.

"Why, listening to Kong Ming, you are dissatisfied with me? Do you feel like you're not going to meet a talent? Liu Xi asked coldly, Sima Yi was suddenly terrified, his back was cold, and he felt extremely remorseful in his heart, he had endured all his life, why couldn't he endure it to the end? He shuddered a little and said, "Don't dare... The fault of the minister... Minister..."

"Alright... I'm just asking you, do you think so? Liu Xi interrupted his confession, asked questions directly, and stared at Sima Yi in front of him tightly, his eyes sharp.

Sima Yi's face turned red, and he suddenly raised his head, "Your Majesty... That's exactly what the minister thinks... The minister doesn't know what kind of fault the minister has made. Why, His Majesty would be so partial to him Zhuge Villager, but so cruel to me... The minister has been serving the Han for more than 20 years, and has known His Majesty for more than 30 years, why did he end up with a white body..."

"The minister knows that he is disrespectful to His Majesty, if His Majesty wants to punish him severely, the minister will never complain, I just hope that His Majesty can let go of the minister's family..."

Sima Yi said, bowed to the Son of Heaven again, and lowered his head.

Liu Xi was stunned at the moment, looking at Sima Yi in front of him, he was stunned for a long time before he laughed, "Zhongda, do you think I am wary of you everywhere??" Yes, you're right, I do, but do you know why? ”

"I don't know!"

"Because of your clan, Kong Ming's lineage, there are only three people, counting children, there are only six people, but what about you, your clan has more than forty people, and they are all officials everywhere, which is more disturbing than the Yuan family in the past, when the Yuan family was the most powerful in the past, there were only more than ten officials, what about your family?"

"Could it be just because of the clan?? But Xun Linggong's clan power is also huge...", Sima Yi hurriedly argued.

"Yes, it's not just the clan, there is another point, that is, your character, you are too cautious in doing things, since you told the truth in front of me, then I will not lie to you, and tell you the truth directly, you don't have any hobbies, clean yourself, and never make any mistakes, this is what I am afraid of, as a minister, sometimes, you can't be too perfect, what do you think?" , Liu Xi suddenly asked.

Sima Yi's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded, just because he was too cautious and never left a handle?

Seeing that Sima Yi couldn't speak anymore, Liu Xi said coldly: "The criminal minister Sima Yi listens to the order!" ”

"The minister is here!"

"If you are a big rebel, you will be punished now, and you will be demoted to a prisoner and serve for life!" , Liu Xi said coldly.

"Minister... Respectfully! Sima Yi said, bowing to the Son of Heaven, then closed his eyes, waiting for the soldiers to take him away.

"But... The queen is pregnant, I am very happy in my heart, and I decided to grant amnesty to the world. Sinner Sima Yi, you have been pardoned by me... I will make you the left of Shangshu... Now, go to Zhuge Liang and implement the matter of partition! Liu Xi said again.

"Huh??" , Sima Yi raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven in front of him, his mind was blank, and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The words were already a little trembling, and tears crossed his eyes, this feeling of crawling out of despair was really exciting, Liu Xi laughed, stepped forward, and helped him up.

"Zhongda, today you can express your dissatisfaction with me in front of me, now it's okay, I also have your handle in my hand, in the future, if you dare to disobey my orders, I will immediately repent, and then let you be a prisoner!" , Liu Xi said, but it was a joke, Sima Yi grinned, "The minister should keep in mind, the minister is confused, it seems that he should have said these words earlier..."

"Hahaha! You! Liu Xi punched Sima Yi, and the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the past, the prince and his adviser, at this time, Sima Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I haven't congratulated Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty!" ”

Of course, this is because of the congratulations of the new members of the royal family, Liu Xi was also very happy, laughed, and suddenly asked: "I heard that your brother Sima Fu has a son, called Sima Wang, who entered the military academy this year, and his grades are quite good..."

"That's true, my nephew, he still has some talent in this area...", Sima Yi said, and asked, "Why did Your Majesty mention him?" ”

"My younger sister, Princess Changling, is also at the age of marriage, and I am looking for a good husband for her." , Liu Xi said seriously, Sima Yi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Your Majesty, this person can't, he is stingy and has a bad character, I think that Xun Shangshu's son, Xun Xu, is smart and not inferior to his father... Can be a good son-in-law. ”

Sima Yi said seriously, this time, it was Liu Xi who was a little surprised, it stands to reason that marrying with the royal family, what a good opportunity, Sima Yi knew how much favor Zhuge Liang got after marrying Princess Raoyang, but he actually opened his mouth to dissuade him? Liu Xi thought about it, but smiled again, "Okay, since it's what Zhong Da said, I'll find a time to meet this Xun Xu." ”
