Chapter 250: From Sima Yi's Examination
After Sima Fu retired, Cao Pi thought for a while, and finally figured out Sima Yi's thoughts, so he asked Xiahou Shang to send pen and ink and Zuo Bo paper, and wrote a sincere letter to Sima Yi, the letter to the effect that Sima Yi was able to move the family to Youzhou in such a situation to enrich the household, and at the same time said that he had also heard of Sima Bada's name, and praised Sima Lang and Sima Fu he had seen, and finally said that he was looking forward to meeting him in Youzhou.

After writing it, Cao Pi asked Xiahou Shang to hand it over to Sima Fu, before Xiahou Shang was guarding outside the account, he had actually heard the conversation between Cao Pi and Sima Fu, and couldn't help but have a hesitant look on his face, after all, he was a member of Xiahou's family, so he could say something; "Pastor Governor, there's one thing... In the end, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"Boren, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Cao Pi said with a smile.
"In the sixth year of Jian'an, Sima Yi was famous, and he specially sent someone to recruit him to be an official, but this person said that he had wind paralysis and could not live, so he pushed Sikong to recruit, and now he moved his family to Youzhou to seek refuge in the state pastor, which is clearly light and heavy on the state pastor, if this kind of practice is said in his Sima Yi's heart, the state pastor is more worthy of assistance than the Sikong, which is clearly to put the state pastor in danger, why does the state pastor agree so happily?" Xiahou Shang said.
"Well, Boren has seen far-reaching, not a person who can only charge into battle." Cao Pi sincerely appreciated, after all, Xiahou Shang is now just a tun commander of the tiger and leopard ride, and he can see this level, he can be regarded as a smart person.
Xiahou Shang said: "The last general has been a personal guard of the Tiger Guard by Sikong's side for a while, and he knows some things, so he has this simple opinion. It's just that the last general doesn't understand, Sima Yi came over like this, in addition to making Sikong unhappy, but also to let his clansmen leave the rich land of Hanoi and come to Youzhou, a bitter cold land to re-cultivate the land. ”
Cao Pi said with a smile: "Boren said that Sima Yi came here to focus on me and ignore the commonplace, but if he comes to Youzhou, I, Cao Pi, will only give him land, not give him officials, so what?" I just don't need Sima Yi, will my father still be unhappy? ”
Xiahou Shang was even more confused: "If this is the case, Sima Yi is not pleasing on three sides, he can't get the weight of the state pastor, and he makes Sikong unhappy, and he moves the clansmen away from his hometown, where does this come from?" ”
Cao Pi smiled and said, "Boren has drunk the burning knife? ”
Xiahou Shang replied: "I have drunk it, this wine is actually the wine that men drink." ”
"Who made that wine?"
"It's the state pastor... But now the Chen family will also brew..."
"The Chen family has made a fortune, is it because of this wine?"
"Exactly...."Xiahou Shang suddenly realized, "Sima Yi wants to burn a knife?" ”
Cao Pi said with a smile: "Not necessarily, what he wants is just a way to make money, but I have a lot of ways to make money, such as burning knives, such as glass, Boren said that Sima Yi is heavy on me and light on Sikong, it is better to say that he is heavy on money and light on official career." ”
Xiahou Shang said: "The state pastor wants the Sima clan to make a lot of money here, and then manage the Hu people and enrich the Youzhou household, but he doesn't let him hold an official position?" ”
"You can be an official for him, but you can't be an official in Youzhou, you have to go to Yecheng to be an official, not only to make the Sima family rich in Youzhou, but also to make him rich if any big family is willing to move here. In this way, they will honestly stay here, train the Hu people for us, multiply, Boren, there are too many border counties in Youzhou, if there are not many people living there, how can they resist those nomads, Wuhuan is gone, there are Fuyu, Wofu, Rulou, Sushen, and even further Xianbei, Hu is difficult to be brave, and can only implement the law of defending the land with the people. Cao Pi said.
Xiahou Shang said with admiration: "The state pastor thinks long-term. ”
Cao Pi said with a smile: "In his position, seek his government." After saying that, he yawned, and Xiahou Shang immediately took the letter and retired.
After Xiahou Shang left, Cao Pi sighed, he felt a little embarrassed to deceive this upright and kind young man, in fact, Sima Yi asked Sima Fu to spread the word that his family moved to Youzhou, which has the meaning of teaching Cao Pi, if Cao Pi hurriedly gave Sima Yi an official, then Sima Yi is afraid that he will immediately go to Cao Cao to admit his mistake with tears, and then stay in Yecheng, even if Cao Cao asks him to clean the toilet, he will do it conscientiously, and then slowly find an opportunity to contact Cao Chong and Cao Zhi to make political investment. I will never look at Cao Pi again.
Because if Cao Pi gave Sima Yi an official, he would say the same to Xiahou Shang, despise Cao Cao and value himself. Even Cao Cao refused to use it for you, that is, you are stronger than Cao Cao? At a time when Cao Cao is playing balance, he must not die like this, even if Cao Cao has a mind, I am afraid that he will be unhappy about this matter, not to mention that Cao Cao will think that Cao Pi is forming a party for personal gain.
But Cao Pi left Sima Yi in Youzhou, but did not give an official and a half position, and even asked him to serve in Yecheng on the court, and he gave the land in Youzhou to Sima Shi, and then let them make money in this kind of land, the nature is completely different, first of all, Cao Pi did not use Sima Yi, but also used the Sima family to pass through Youzhou, it is best to send Sima Yi to Yecheng, in this way, Cao Cao will only feel that Cao Pi is dedicated to passing through Youzhou, and also takes into account his Cao Cao's feelings, such a caring son, will naturally make Cao Cao feel comfortable.
And if he does this, Sima Yi will also think that Cao Pi is a person with a city government and a strategy, and he is a talent worthy of his Sima Yi's assistance, rather than Cao Chong and Cao Zhi. This way of teaching is like the two of them playing against each other in the air, Chen Qun also played such a hand against Cao Pi back then, but Sima Yi's chess path is more decisive and bold.
Cao Pi did not mention any words to Sima Yi in his letter to Sima Yi, which was a hint to Sima Yi and invited him to come and see it again. As for why he didn't make it clear to Xiahou Shang, the reason was very simple, Xiahou Shang was a tiger and leopard rider, Cao Pi didn't think he could hide it, after all, the tiger and leopard rider still had to return to Cao Cao's side in the end, so why tell him? Although he believed that Xiahou Shang was genuinely worried about himself.
At the same time, in Sima Fu's account, Cao Pi's letter to Sima Yi had been opened, and Sima Fu said to himself after reading it: "Brother said that if the state pastor promised the high-ranking official Houlu of the Sima clan, it would be okay if he didn't go to Youzhou, but now he didn't mention anything about the high-ranking official Houlu, then the second brother would definitely have this trip.... But why is this attitude? It is a happy thing to meet the master, so what does it matter if you are not allowed to be a high-ranking official? (To be continued.) )
