Chapter 470: Visiting Sima Mansion in person
In Cao Zhi's heart, it was clear that Liu Feng's title to emperor stemmed from his great confidence in himself and his army, believing that he could achieve the final victory in the war against Wei.
In this way, it undoubtedly disrupted all the plans that Cao Zhi had in mind before, and Cao Zhi thought about it for several days after learning about it, and finally decided that he was going to do something that he didn't want to do, but had to do under the circumstances.
On this day, Sima Yi, who returned from the court early, is still teaching his two sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao in the backyard of his house as in the past, this year, Sima Shi is already twelve years old, and has gradually shown some ruthlessness and decisiveness, which makes Sima Yi very happy, and Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua's second son Sima Zhao is a little stubborn, and has not yet shown anything extraordinary.
Just as Sima Yi was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, reading the above sentences word by word, and then explaining his understanding to the two sons sitting opposite him, the housekeeper of the family came to Sima Yi and whispered in Sima Yi's ear: "A distinguished guest has arrived in the house." ”
But at this time, Sima Yi only looked down at the bamboo slip in his hand, and then waved his hand lightly and said: "I have never had too much contact with people after I retreated from the court. ”
Listening to Sima Yi's words, his housekeeper couldn't help but look back, his face was almost shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only make a few colors to Sima Yi and look behind Sima Yi, but Sima Yi seemed to focus all his attention on the bamboo slip in his hand, and he didn't even look at the housekeeper's face.
At this moment, behind Sima Yi, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded: "Zhong Da is so slack with the people in the court, is he still blaming me?" ”
As soon as Sima Yi heard this voice, he immediately threw the bamboo slip in his hand to the ground, and hurriedly turned around and hurriedly bowed, because as soon as he heard it, he knew that the current lord of Wei had walked to the back garden of his mansion, but what no one saw was that while worshipping, Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, just like the expression when he greeted Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu outside the gate of Yecheng that day.
"Minister Sima Yi, don't dare, but these two children are really stubborn, if they can't teach well at home, I'm afraid they won't be able to solve problems for my Wei country in the future, so Sima Yi teaches at home every day, and he has no complaints about the lord!"
Walking straight into Sima Yi's mansion, it was not Cao Zhi, seeing that Sima Yi was indeed teaching his two sons some ancient books such as poetry and books, Cao Zhi bowed slightly, obviously very satisfied with Sima Yi's current situation at this time.
The reason why he didn't greet Sima Yi before but came straight to Sima Yi's mansion with several guards alone was to bring him closer to Sima Yi, to show his closeness to Sima Yi, and then to make him feel that he valued him; The two came out of nowhere to see what Sima Yi's situation was like at home, and from these circumstances, Cao Zhi hoped to be able to judge whether Sima Yi was resentful because he had been demoted by his own official and seized military power.
And judging from today's situation, there is no doubt that what Cao Zhi sees in his eyes is what he wants to see, Sima Yi is just teaching his children at home, and the rest does not have any outrageous actions, and his mansion is as simple as ever, and he can't see any ill intentions towards himself and the Wei State.
After looking around with his eyes, Cao Zhi bowed his head slightly and said to Sima Yi: "This time I came to disturb Zhongda, because I was a little unclear, and I knew Zhongda's talent, so I came to Zhongda's mansion temporarily. ”
Sima Yi is so smart, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Cao Zhi was going to talk about something in private with him in his own mansion, and hurriedly ordered his housekeeper to take his two sons to other places, and then got up and made a gesture to Cao Zhi, and let Cao Zhi into his study, it looked like a master let his guests into the room, but the heavily armed guards who followed Cao Zhi and stood at the door of Sima Yi's study reminded everyone in the Sima family who was the real master here.
gave Cao Zhi to the main seat he usually sat on, and Sima Yi served him a bowl of water according to Cao Zhi's previous statement, and then sat down respectfully in front of Cao Zhi, waiting for Cao Zhi to speak.
Since entering the study, Cao Zhi's eyes have not moved for a moment on Sima Yi's body, he wants to see if Sima Yi has any resentment, but until Sima Yi sat in front of him, he didn't find any clues, all he saw was Sima Yi who had fulfilled the courtier's etiquette. But the matter of the Yingchuan Geng clan still reminded Cao Zhi all the time that the person sitting in front of him was not a loyal and honest courtier, but a scheming person.
"I, Wei State, have just learned that Liu Feng has vainly accepted Liu Xie's concession from Liu Xie, who has absconded elsewhere, in Xiangyang, this move is a great disapproval of the world, and my Wei subjects are very resentful of Liu Feng's move, I don't know what Zhong Da thinks about this matter, and in what way should we make Liu Feng pay for what he did?"
Cao Zhi's question had already been guessed by Sima Yi when he first found out that he had entered his home, and this question was also on the minds of almost all the courtiers of the Wei State, including Sima Yi, and even many ordinary people.
I saw Sima Yi frowning and silently pondering for a long time after hearing this, during this period, Cao Zhi did not urge, but just waited for Sima Yi's words with great interest, he knew that with Sima Yi's talent, he would definitely be able to bring him a certain surprise in this matter, because Sima Yi should understand in his heart that letting Liu Feng sit big would not be beneficial to him and his Sima family.
Finally, Sima Yi raised his head after thinking for a while, looked at Cao Zhi's matter again, his face had become very solemn, he moved his lips, and said slowly: "The minister thinks that my Wei State can't sit still, and Liu Feng's majesty is bound to be frustrated!" ”
