Cao Zhi directly pulled Sima Yi into the game at this time, obviously after careful consideration, as soon as Cao Zhi's question came out, Yang Xiu, who was still worried before, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that this was Cao Zhi's strategy, and under such a question, Sima Yi must know that he was also implicated in it, so how to answer this, he naturally had to weigh it carefully.

If Sima Yi's answer is to punish these Wei officials lightly or not punish them at all, then the suspicion of evading responsibility is self-evident, and at that time, Cao Zhi will link Sima Yi and the Geng clan in the court, and the spearhead of those officials will be directly aimed at Sima Yi, wanting him to be the substitute ghost.

And Sima Yi said that he said that this punishment was severe, not only offended all these people who were connected with the forces in Yingchuan, but also most of him himself had to be guilty of the same crime, so that the state of being attacked by the enemy on his back had already been done in this instant, and the initiators Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu, and even those who appeared on the bamboo slips in Cao Zhi's hands, all looked at Sima Yi with blazing eyes, according to Cao Zhi's trust in him in the past, his words were most likely able to influence Cao Zhi's thoughts.

Sima Yi raised his head slightly, looking at Cao Zhi's gloomy gaze, when he learned that the Geng clan was investigated by Cao Zhi in Yingchuan, he had already expected today, but what he didn't expect was that this time Cao Zhi's action would be so fast, and his second news had not yet had time to reach Yingchuan, and the Geng clan had already suffered today's catastrophe.

Sima Yi knew that if the Geng clan still had any remaining forces, they would definitely take a very big risk to inform Sima Fu of this matter, but now their Sima family had not received any news from the Geng clan, and Sima Yi judged that most of the Geng clan had been completely wiped out by Cao Zhi under the high-speed operation of his brain.

As soon as he thought of this, a thought flashed through Sima Yi's mind, and then a fierce gaze appeared on his face, then he looked at Cao Zhi, and knelt on the ground in the next second.

"What does Zhongda mean by this? I was asking you what you think about the Yingchuan matter. His kneeling was unexpected by Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi's heart sank slightly, he knew that when things developed out of his previous expectations, the results were often not satisfactory.

I saw that Sima Yi was still kneeling on the ground and bowed to Cao Zhi several times, and then slowly spoke: "In this matter, Sima Yi has no right to speak, so it is better for the lord to ask others." ”

"What does Zhongda mean by that?" Cao Zhi almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence, he already knew what Sima Yi was going to say next, but the matter has come to this, he must accompany Sima Yi to perform this scene, obviously, Sima Yi was not defeated by his sudden attack, he quickly found a glimmer of life in Cao Zhi's questioning, this is obviously a way to retreat.

But obviously, the more Sima Yi was like this, the deeper the suspicion in Cao Zhi's heart became, and now, Cao Zhi finally understood what Cao Cao said to him when he was old.

According to Cao Cao's words, there have been several times before to kill Sima Yi, but they were all escaped by Sima Yi's impeccable words, Cao Zhi didn't feel anything before, but today, he finally knows that Cao Cao wants to kill Sima Yi but is alive by his escape.

"Don't hide it from the lord, the reason why Sima Yi is not qualified to speak out on this matter is only because Sima Yi is like the courtiers mentioned in those bamboo slips, and he is also quite related to the Yingchuan Yiwang clan, but most of the reason is that the force that Yi is connected with is quite weak compared with the previous bamboo slips, so the lord did not find out, and Yi did not dare to deceive the lord and the princes above the court, so he could only say this matter here."

"It's a good way to avoid the important and take it lightly!"

As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, Yang Xiu, who was standing not far from him, was the first to speak, he really admired Sima Yi's kung fu on his lips, although Sima Yi's words were sincere, the word weak obviously placed his guilt behind others, this hand is really not unintelligent, which made Yang Xiu's heart full of anger, he tried his best to wipe out all the forces in the land of Yingchuan, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to offend so many people in the court, and the person who did it was naturally to bring down Sima Yi, Only then did he blurt out in anger.

After Cao Zhi heard Yang Xiu's blurted out, he waved his hand slightly, signaling him not to say anything more, now is not the time to expose all his hole cards, Yang Xiu saw Cao Zhi's actions, and he also knew that his reaction was a little too radical.

Looking back on the previous confrontations between himself and Sima Yi, many times it was because he was provoked by Sima Yi first and did not choose to speak, which gave Sima Yi a chance, so in a moment, Yang Xiu calmed down and just looked at Sima Yi coldly.

"Oh? In this case, I wonder if Zhong Da can explain to me, why you are all in cahoots with these powerful clans and do not teach me, the lord of Wei, to know, that according to the current system of my Wei country, there are many people who have many weapons in private possession, and they are no different from bandits, and once they are discovered, they should be exterminated, how can they ignore them, and collude with them, where do you put me, the lord of Wei? Where is the safety of hundreds of people in Wei State? ”

Cao Zhi's words almost put a big hat directly on the heads of people including Sima Yi, obviously, Cao Zhi has been ruthless, no matter how many people are dismissed, he can't let Sima Yi go so plainly, he has a kind of strength in his heart that he will not admit defeat, since Cao Cao can't find the reason for killing Sima Yi, then he must find it. It is better to let Sima Yi kneel and beg for mercy than to listen to his clever words here

Hearing Cao Zhi's harsh words, many of the old ministers in the court were already trembling, and several of them knelt on the ground and begged Cao Zhi directly for mercy, such a statement, even if they were all killed, it was not too much, at this time, they were really a little afraid, especially those who colluded with those forces with a little strength in the late Han Dynasty and did not belong to the Cao family.

But Cao Zhi watched coldly, but saw that Sima Yi was still expressionless, and replied after some thought: "Yi and the Geng clan of Yingchuan do have some friendship, if you talk about it, it can be traced back to the time of Emperor Ling, Yi's grandfather was an official in the land of Yingchuan, so he has an old relationship with the Geng clan, and the reason why Yi did not inform the lord of this matter is indeed for some reasons. ”
