The reason for Sima Hui's anger was that Sima Zhi had very few heirs. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sima Hui has only one son under his knees, and Sima Zhi only has one son, Sima Qi.

After Sima Zhi's wife had difficulty giving birth to Sima Qi, after his death, Sima Zhi has not succeeded him, but has been obsessed with Bu Lianying.

Sima Hui persuaded Sima Zhi many times, asking him to marry a few more concubines, have a few more, and spread the branches, but Sima Zhi shirked it for various reasons.

What's even more hateful is that there have been a few times when Sima Zhi was in a hurry, so he contradicted Sima Hui and said, "You want to give birth to yourself to marry a woman." Sima Hui was greatly angered and taught a lesson, but to no avail.

On the contrary, the population of the eldest brother Sima Fang increased by geometric numbers, Sima Fang had eight sons, one son gave birth to four sons, and at once there were thirty-two grandchildren; One grandson gave birth to four sons, and at once there were one hundred and twenty-eight great-grandchildren......

These terrifying numbers kept dangling in front of Sima Hui's eyes. At this moment, he began to regret his decision when he was young and vigorous, stayed away from his homeland, hid his identity and came to Jingxiang to pretend to be a hermit and pretend to be high, and did not dare to marry a concubine to beg his aunt's wife.

On the contrary, the eldest brother Sima Fang lived comfortably in Xuchangli, the capital of the empire, married three wives and six concubines and a large number of wives, desperately gave birth to children, and enjoyed the blessings and glory of all people.

In the end, after working hard outside for decades, he became a worker of his eldest brother Sima Fang.

Thinking of this, Sima Hui looked at the stalactites on the top of the cave in a daze, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart, and said secretly: Could it be that everything I did was wrong.

Liu Chan looked at Sima Hui, who had a gloomy expression, and knew that his words had touched his weakness. I can't help but think of a sentence in later generations: The agency is too smart, and the smart is mistaken by the smart, and the life of Qingqing is calculated.

Liu Chan also ignored Sima Hui's feelings, and continued: "Based on my observation, Sima Fang lived in the Ming Dynasty, made friends with powerful officials in the court, curryed favor with Cao's father and son, made friends, cultivated the power of the scholar clan, intertwined roots, weaved a network of relationships, and expanded his sphere of influence. Sima Hui lived in the shadows, made friends with celebrities and scholars in the opposition, recruited protégés, cultivated family strength, and expanded the influence of Shilin. The two brothers are one bright and one dark, one day and one wild. Perfect match, echoing each other from afar. ”

Sima Hui looked at Liu Chan with great appreciation, and stroked his beard and praised sincerely: "Lin Gongzi can see so thoroughly at a young age, which makes the old man admire!" It really deserves to be a genius in the world, a peerless genius of young people. ”

"Mr. Shui Jing has won a false award. The kid is just telling the truth, telling his own inferences and thoughts. Liu Chan owed himself and said modestly.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan nodded yes.

"Mr. Shuijing, the kid has a question. What is the basis for winning the world? Liu Chan waved his hand.

"The saint has clouds, and the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Sima Hui said.

"So where is the heart of the people of our time? It is in the mouth of the scholars who represent the interests of the family and the scholars, that is, the scholars who account for the vast majority of the number. Because these scholars have the right to speak in public opinion. To put it simply, these scholars are talents. Therefore, the phrase "those who win the hearts of the people win the world" can be changed to "those who win talents win the world"! Liu Chan sighed.

"As for why Mr. Shui Jing came to Jingxiang, it seems that there is also a lot of article in it, because you have the essence of this statement. More than ten years ago, Cao Cao unified the north, and the elites of celebrities and scholars were all swept away by him. When Shuijing looked at the situation in the world, after careful deduction and analysis, he had expected that Cao Cao would sooner or later wave his army to the south, and he would hunt Jingxiang and Jiangdong with Liu Biao and Sun. Jingxiang and Jiangdong are full of talents and elites. If you don't lay out in advance, wait until the talents in the two places are all Cao Cao's gains, and the world will undoubtedly fall into Cao Cao's hands. ”

"Therefore, Mr. Shui Jing, as a person from Yingchuan in the north, in the name of avoiding disasters, arranged his residence in Jingxiang in advance, deliberately befriended Pang Degong and Mr. Huang, and won the recognition of Jingxiang Shilin and the reputation of the world with his outstanding talents, elegant character and good knowledge, so as to lead the group."

"Since then, Mr. Shui Jing has begun to look for and cultivate elite talents in Jingxiang, and plan how to use these talents to achieve his ulterior purposes." Liu Chan said eloquently.

Pang Degong had already pulled out of the quagmire of sadness due to being bullied and betrayed, and said lightly: "So, there is Decao Guang Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Xiang Lang, Liu Xuan, Yin Mo, Li Ren and others as apprentices. Tasting Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Sima Yi with the old man and Brother Chengyan, they were called Wolong, Phoenix Chicks, and Lion Turtles. In exchange, we call the virtue exercise as a water mirror. It turned out that Sima Yi was Decao's nephew. Then, after De Cao's plan stopped, he vigorously recommended Wolong, Fengxiao and other talents to Uncle Liu Huang and Sun Quan respectively, but he was ready to defect to Cao Cao. In this way, Jingxiang talents were divided into three, and the world began to be divided into three. With the help of Kong Ming, Xiang Lang, Ma Liang, Xi Zhen and other elite talents in Jingxiang, Liu Bei's strength has soared. Under the planning and strategy of Wolong and Pang Tong, he formed a Sun-Liu alliance with Sun Quan, and defeated Cao Cao in one fell swoop in the Battle of Chibi. Thus laying the preliminary pattern of three points in the world and standing on its feet. ”

After speaking, Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan glanced at each other, their faces were full of appreciation, and they invariably gave Sima Hui a thumbs up and sighed: "Brother Decao, you are so generous!" ”

"Crackling." Liu Chan, who was in sync with God, applauded alone.

Sima Hui didn't seem to be able to withstand the praise of the two big brothers, his old face was flushed, he waved his hands again and again, and he was so guilty that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Sima Hui shook his head, with mixed feelings and mixed tastes in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes.

After all, the three of them have been friends for more than ten years, they see each other late, they are like-minded, they have nothing to talk about, they have a good relationship, they are like brothers, and they are like brothers.

How can the brotherly relationship formed over the past ten years be broken just as it is said.

There was an awkward silence in the white stone cave again, and the three old men were immersed in their own feelings.

There are flowers blooming and falling, clouds rolling and clouds, spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer, cold and heat, grass and warblers flying, and the three of them have been discussing the world together, discussing scriptures, playing the piano and listening to music, tasting tea and discussing the Tao, tasting people's eyes, and chanting poems for more than ten years.

Liu Chan witnessed this situation, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and the poem flourished, singing the "Linjiang Immortal" of Yang Shen, who was famous in the later dynasty:

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking.

……

The song is majestic and generous, desolate and tragic, full of the vicissitudes of life and history.

The three elders are all in tears, tears wet green shirts, and the water of feelings is like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.
