Sima Yi took over Xun's funeral, and the funeral lasted only one day.

Although the last days were short, the funeral was very beautiful.

That night, Sima Yi came to Cao Shuo's residence.

In the study, Cao Shuo sat on the top, and Sima Yi stood facing him.

"Xun Wenruo's funeral is over?" had already gotten the news, Cao Shuo still asked him.

"It's done." Sima Yi replied.

"With Xun Wenruo's status, the funeral will have to be done for at least seven days." Cao Shuo asked, "Why did you do it in such a hurry?" ”

"If you don't do it in a hurry, will the lord be unhappy?" Sima Yi asked rhetorically.

Cao Shuo was stunned by his question, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Have you noticed that you don't like to laugh as much these days as you used to be?" Sima Yi seemed to be diverting the topic.

"The more I carry, the more I feel suffocated and out of breath." Cao Shuo said: "You instigated me to be the emperor, but I was thinking that after becoming the emperor, it is very likely that my life is not as free as it is now." ”

"If you don't become an emperor, the lord can get away with it?" Sima Yi asked rhetorically.

Cao Shuo didn't say anything, but his face was not too good-looking.

"The more soldiers and the more people under his rule, the more hard the lord will feel." Sima Yi said: "The emperor is not easy to do, and it is not easy to do. In fact, as long as the lord knows how to make good use of people and assigns some things to his subordinates, it will not be so hard. ”

"My subordinates are all talented people like you, do you think I can rest assured that things will be dispatched?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Sima Yi.

Stunned by his question, Sima Yi hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.

After following Cao Shuo for many years, Sima Yi found more and more that the lord in front of him was different from the beginning.

In the past, Cao Shuo was not very serious about anything.

But now he has less cynicism and more calmness unique to a hero.

If someone had planned to kill Xun in the past, Cao Shuo might have stopped him, and at most put Xun under house arrest.

But now he wouldn't do that.

Although he didn't do it himself, he pretended not to know, and even after Xun's death, he didn't say a word of greeting.

"Lord ......" was silent for a moment, and Sima Yi asked, "Duke Xun's funeral has been completed, do you want to go to his house to have a look?" ”

"Do you think I should go?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I think it should." Sima Yi replied: "This matter has nothing to do with the lord, if you go, outsiders will have less speculation." If the lord does not go, even if the lord does not kill him, he will be planted on his head. After all, the lord wanted to be the emperor, but the Duke of Xun blocked the road of the lord on the street and asked for support for the emperor of the Han family to regain the throne. If Duke Xun is dead, if the lord does not mourn, anyone will suspect it. ”

"I don't bear the charge, who else can I bear?" Cao Shuo smiled helplessly: "Could it be that I still have to let people find out the truth and find the real culprit behind the scenes?" ”

"If the lord can be trusted, he can leave the matter of finding out the murderer to me." Sima Yi bowed down and clenched his fists and took the initiative to bear the aftermath of Xun's death.

After staring at Sima Yi for a long time, Cao Shuo asked, "How do you plan to deal with the aftermath?" ”

"There are many ways." Sima Yi said: "I have checked the body of Xun Gong, and when he died, he fell to the ground, and his forehead touched the edge of the flower platform, and there were traces of bruises. I'm going to make some articles with this trace. ”

"How?" Sima Yi observed slightly, obviously thinking about how to deal with the aftermath for a long time, Cao Shuo asked.

"You don't have to be deliberate." Sima Yi said: "As long as you declare to the outside that it is said that Xun Gong drank too much wine, accidentally fell to the ground, and knocked his forehead, everything can cover up the past." ”

"How the hell did he die?" Cao Shuo knew that Xun was killed, and he guessed what means were used, but he still wanted to know the specific details.

"The lips are black, the face is purple, it must be poisoned." Sima Yi replied: "And the poison is violent, Xun Gong should not have suffered any crime when he died." ”

"There are signs of poisoning, how are you going to cover them up?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Returning to the childe." Sima Yi said: "I have secretly asked Xun Gong's body to be burned tonight. ”

"Burned?" Cao Shuo frowned: "The person has been buried, how can it be burned?" ”

"The funeral is done, but the person has not been buried." Sima Yi replied: "People stop at the official mansion, as long as the official mansion is set on fire tonight, everything will be covered up." ”

"Honestly, didn't you think of this a long time ago?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Yes!" Sima Yi said: "Originally, Chen Gongtai was in charge of this matter, but I was worried that he would not handle it well, so I specially took it over. Without the permission of the lord, I didn't dare to make a decision on my own, so I had to leave the people in the government first, and wait until the lord made a decision before I could make the next step. ”

Cao Shuo stood up and walked to the door: "Do as you say." ”

Although he didn't have any expression on his face, Sima Yi knew that this matter was done right today.

Cao Shuo was about to go out and came to the front yard, and Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao greeted him.

"It's so late, and the lord still has to go out?" Deng Zhan asked.

"Xun Gong passed away, I have to go over and take a look." Cao Shuo ordered: "Bring a few guards, and you two will accompany me on a trip." ”

Hearing that Cao Shuo was going to Xun's house, Zhu Ao and Deng Zhan both showed a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

The two of them subconsciously glanced at Sima Yi and lowered their heads.

"My lord." Seeing that they had something to say, Sima Yi said to Cao Shuo: "I'll go outside first to prepare and wait outside the main gate." ”

Cao Shuo also knew that Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao had something to say, and did not stop Sima Yi.

He nodded, and Sima Yi turned his head away.

"Do you two have something to say?" When Sima Yi walked away, Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao.

"Mrs. Huan came to look for us." Deng Zhan said: "I have also reported to the Lord ......"

"What you want to say is that Mrs. Huan killed Xun Gong?" Cao Shuo already knew the answer, so he accepted Sima Yi's proposal to cover up the truth, but he still wanted to know the specific details: "Why didn't you report it to me earlier?" ”

"This matter was arranged by the old lady, we thought it was ......," Zhu Ao replied with his head down.

"It has nothing to do with the old lady, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Huan." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Mrs. Huan went to Duke Xun's house, and she just chatted with Duke Xun for a while and came back. Don't speculate about things that you haven't seen with your own eyes, and even if you see them with your own eyes, it's not necessarily the truth. ”

has been following Cao Shuo for a long time, and of course the two of them know what he is going to do.

The two of them lowered their heads and responded together: "We have written down what Childe explained, and we will never mention this matter again in the future." ”

"Go and greet the guards, and go with me to Duke Xun's house." Cao Shuo commanded again.
