Luoyang Xiangguo Mansion, 25th day of the third month of 264 AD, early in the morning.

Sima Zhao got up and washed under the service of the maid, and after eating the morning meal, he stood in the courtyard in front of the house and looked up at the sky for a long time.

In late March of the lunar calendar, the temperature has begun to rise significantly. This is good news for Sima Zhao's body. As his body felt better, Sima Zhao returned to the habit of personally reviewing political affairs every day.

Lift your feet and enter the study. Sima Yan, Jia Chong, Pei Xiu and others were already waiting there.

"Is there any new news from Xishu?"

After receiving the news of the defeat at Yang'an Pass at the end of last year, the first thing Sima Zhao did every day after going to work was to ask for information on Shu Han's side, especially about Guan Yi - in the past, this honor belonged to Ding Feng.

"Yesterday, the news came from Cao's side, and the pseudo-great Sima Guan Zifeng of Xishu cleaned the interior of Xishu late at night on the eighth day of the first month of March......"

"I'll see...... Well, this son is really bold. "As a ruler, there is no one who does not hate the family. Watching Guan Yi raise his big knife high and slash the Shu Han family in Yizhou, Sima Zhao had a feeling that he couldn't yearn for it.

But no, the family of Xishu has been suppressed by Liu Yan's father and son, Liu Bei Zhuge Liang or something for sixty or seventy years, that is, it has only begun to exert its strength in the last ten years. At this time, although Guan Yi's knife will cause some turmoil, Sima Zhao knows very well: this will not shake the national capital of Xishu - after all, the national capital of Western Shu is a homesteaders!

But in other words, the Sima family himself would not dare to do this!

looked at the eldest son Sima Yan, who was about to turn twenty-eight this year, and thought of the young man over there in Xishu who would turn thirty-one this year. Sima Zhao's heart was irritable for no reason: I used to think this son was good, why is it that the more I look at it now, the more dissatisfied I become? After Lao Tzu died, would he really be able to keep the Sima family?

Look at Sima You, who was busy making tea in the corner of his study. Sima Zhao's mood was even more depressed: this child was kind-hearted, intelligent-minded, and mild-mannered, compared to his brother who looked resolute and strong on the outside, but was actually resourceful and less decisive on the inside. Tao Fucai is really a good candidate for the prince.

It's a pity that this time the attack on Shu failed, and the future of the Sima family is extremely uncertain. At such a bad moment, a good boy like Sima You can't take on a big responsibility. It is rumored that the resolute and resolute Sima Yan can still bluff some people.

"In addition to the intelligence of Xishu, is there any urgent matter today?"

"If you go back to the king, you won't have it for the time being."

"Good, then let's rest for a day today. Gong Lu, Ji Yan, hard work. ”

"Don't dare, King Jin, the prince, the son, I will retire."

Watching the figures of Jia Chong and the others slowly disappear from sight, Sima Zhao said to Sima Yan: "You go and spread the word, tonight, please invite the third uncle, Zichu, Ziyi, Zijiang, Zizang, Ziwei, Ziyi and others to come to my house to study." Remember, micro-service! ”

Hearing that Sima Zhao was going to convene a meeting of the main members of the Sima family, Sima Yan's face also became extremely serious. Although he didn't know what his father was thinking at this time, there were few gatherings like this for the Sima family since Sima Yi died. At such a sensitive time...... It also requires all micro-services......

"Yes, father. The boy will go down and arrange it right away. Guaranteed not to be exposed. ”

"Well, that's right. Let the third uncle come over an hour earlier. ”

"Uhh

The third uncle in Sima Zhao's mouth of course refers to Sima Yi's third brother Sima Fu Sima Shuda. Boda Sima Lang, Zhongda Sima Yi, Shuda Sima Fu...... Sima Yi's generation is eight brothers, and the last word of his table is all 'da', so he is known as Sima Bada.

However, Sima Bada is not all excellent, and on the whole, the first Sanda is a first-class talent.

Needless to say, Zhongda Sima Yi said. Boda Sima Lang is also a famous minister of Cao Wei, and he belongs to the kind of firefighters who are difficult to govern, so Cao Cao asked him to serve wherever he goes. And what about Shuda Sima Fu? As mentioned earlier, this is an actor-level old thief.

As the Sima family's failure to usurp the throne, Sima Yi, the secret son who is responsible for preserving the name of the Sima family after the three clans are wiped out. Since Sima Fu helped Sima Yi complete the coup d'état in Gaopingling, he has distanced himself from Sima Yi's group on the surface. On various occasions, he regarded himself as a loyal minister of Cao Wei. But in any case, his surname is Sima, and this alone determines where his position will ultimately fall.

"Third uncle, today's situation is critical. My nephew has fainted many times in recent days and is about to die...... You are the oldest surviving elder of my Sima family, where should my Sima family go? Please always give me the right words. ”

"Hey, after the second brother's coup was successful, he shouldn't have killed Cao Shuang's three clans. With this step, my Sima family will never be able to turn back. ”

MB's my third uncle, how could my father not kill Cao Shuang at the beginning? You must know that at that time, my Sima family was not a big family! If you don't kill Cao Shuang Liwei, how can my brother (Sima Shi) succeed to the throne after his father dies? If my brother can't succeed to the throne, the counterattack of the Cao family and the Xiahou family will come a long time ago, and my Sima family can still live until now?

"Third uncle, this Guan Zifeng of Xishu is a masterpiece. The point is that he is only thirty-one years old now. And he was born as a military general, if there is no accident, there will be no worries about his life in thirty years. My nephew's lifespan is only a year or two. Nexperia will not be his opponent in the future. Moreover, this time my family's king is too reluctant, and many courtiers simply disdain it...... After the death of his nephew, only the third uncle can stabilize the court...... Third uncle, please also take care of your father's kindness to you when he was alive, and don't leave us behind......"

Speaking of which, if Sima Zhao dies and the Sima family fails to usurp the throne. It was Sima Yan who was wiped out by the three clans. And Sima Yan was wiped out by the three clans, which had nothing to do with Sima Fu.

There are many theories about the so-called three tribes. However, the more accepted theory is the father's family, the mother's family, and the wife's family. If Sima Yan is the core of the three clans that were exterminated, then all of Sima Zhao's brothers and their children (father's clan) were killed, all of Wang Yuanji's brothers and their children (maternal clan), and all of the Jin princess's Yang brothers and their children (wife clan) - and what do these have to do with Sima Fu?

Only by using Sima Zhao as the core to wipe out the three clans will Sima Fu suffer. And now, who dares and who can wipe out Sima Zhao's three clans?

So now Sima Fu is about to untie it. At this time, only Sima Zhao begged Sima Fu for his share.

But why did Sima Zhaofei ask Sima Fu? Because in addition to his good acting skills, this person is also a person with real talents. Moreover, he is one of the few existing personnel of the Sima family who can lead troops to fight! When the Sima family was forcibly on the throne, which caused dissatisfaction among many families, the knife handle became particularly important. Although the handle of the knife is very powerful, it must be held in the hands of someone who knows how to use it in order to be effective.

Back then, after Zhuge Ke won the victory in Dongxing, he raised 200,000 soldiers of Wu to the Northern Expedition. At that time, the commander sent by Cao Wei was Sima Fu, and his commander's strength was as high as 200,000.

As a result of the defeat between the two sides, Zhuge Ke lost his troops and returned to China in embarrassment. In order to consolidate its power in the face of a loss of prestige, it was necessary to further strengthen internal control. This caused dissatisfaction among the Eastern Wu family, and Sun Jun, the second minister, took this opportunity to launch a coup d'état and wiped out Zhuge Ke and the three clans.

Thinking about that year, Jiang Wei completely annihilated 30,000 Cao Wei Yongzhou troops in Taoshui. The entire Longxi became a vacuum, and there was a great vibration in Guanzhong. At that time, in addition to sending Deng Ai to Longxi to urgently rebuild the Longxi Army, who went to Guanzhong to stabilize the situation? Or Sima Fu!

This old guy is the same as his dead ghost brother, he is a firefighter-level important minister of the country! In addition to good acting skills, people also have real skills, and they can put out fires if they go! And it's not the same as Sima Yi's reputation of 'eagle and wolf care'. The label on the head of actor Sima Fu is 'highly respected'!

"My nephew wants to ask the third uncle to take up the position of the leader of the middle army, and he also asks the third uncle to make it difficult! The nephew cried blood and pleaded, and hoped that the third uncle would take pity on the nephew's family......"

An old man in his fifties cried in front of an old man in his seventies, this scene is very weird!

"Hey, son. You said that you will die soon, can you live for a long time at the age of the third uncle? ”

"The third uncle will at least live much longer than the nephew. Moreover, if the Chan Dynasty goes well, the tradition of our Sima family's emphasis on family will not change. The prince is naturally a prince with real power when he goes out of the town. And the emperor's nephew should also be selected as a prince! ”

Well, this is the price that Sima Zhao paid to tempt Sima Fu to make a move: If Sima Yan becomes the emperor in the future, these brothers of mine will be kings, and your sons will also be kings! And it's not Cao Wei's captive king who is managed to death. But he has the right to soldier, and in his own fiefdom is the real power of the soil emperor!

After making such a big promise, Sima Zhao looked at Sima Fu, who was silent, gritted his teeth, and grabbed the hem of Sima Fu's clothes with two steps on his knees: "Third uncle, what my nephew said is from the bottom of my heart." If the third uncle doesn't believe it, the nephew can leave a personal message. Yan'er had to carry it out later! ”

Finally, a voice came from overhead: "My eldest son, Sima Yong, can be the leader of the army." ”
