Sun Quan and Liu Bei were both busy increasing the population of their own countries, Lu Rui led the title of general in Luoyang and lived a leisurely life, and the Wei border defense had the generals of the Cao clan, so there was no need for Lu Rui to intervene.

"General, news from the Chang'an Martial Arts Hall." Xu Shu came to Lu Rui's study and handed over a bamboo slip.

After Lu Rui led the general of the chariot, he stayed on the side of Chang'an and followed the king, and only entered the palace when Cao Ang summoned him, but this does not mean that Lu Rui has relaxed his vigilance, Lu Rui used leisure as a cover to establish an intelligence network all over the country in the Great Wei Dynasty.

In the name of Wang Yue's swordsmanship, Lu Rui set up martial arts halls in all county-level cities in the Wei State to carry forward Wang Yue's swordsmanship, which is actually an intelligence station, as long as there is a major event in the city, someone will pass information to Luoyang and inform Lu Rui.

At the same time, Lu Rui's martial arts halls set up in various places also have a function, which is to monitor the family's every move, as long as the family has a big move, it will definitely not be hidden from Lu Rui.

"Yes!" Lu Rui took the bamboo slip and glanced at it.

Intelligence: General Xiahou Yuan quelled the Qiang civil strife, and the crisis of the Western Regions Protectorate was resolved.

Recently, many homeless people in Shu have gone north, and the contradictions between the Han and barbarians in Shu have intensified.

Sima sent people to give gifts to Chang'an too shou Zhong Xuan, Tianshui too shou Cao Pi, Wuwei too shou Xiahou Ba, and Hanzhong too shou Xiahou Yuan. It is rumored that the Sima clan wants to marry the Xiahou clan.

"Nothing big happened!" Lu Rui threw the bamboo slips aside, it was not a big deal for the Sima clan to marry the Xiahou clan, the only person Sima Yi had to guard against, as long as Sima Yi did not make any big moves. Lu Rui would not ignore Sima's family. is to kill Sima Yi in the future. The Sima clan also had to appease and win over.

"Husband, a great event!" Just when Lu Rui checked the information of Chang'an, Cao Jie walked into the study.

"Why is Madame so pleased?" Lu Rui waved his hand, signaling that Xu Shu could withdraw.

"Husband, An'er has sent a letter in Chang'an." Cao Jie held a bamboo slip and looked at Lu Rui happily.

"An'er has sent a letter?"

"Yes, husband, An'er finally gave birth to a baby boy. inherited the incense for the Zhong family. Cao Jie handed the bamboo slip to Lu Rui, full of joy, since An'er married into the Zhong family, she has always wanted an heir, how many years, and finally looked forward to a son.

"An'er is going to take the child to Luoyang to meet her grandfather!" Cao Jie added that An'er wanted to come to Luoyang with Zhong Xuan, firstly, Zhong Xuan wanted to report on his work in Luoyang, and secondly, he came to visit Lu Rui.

"Well, let the next person clean up a few rooms. Let An'er live in the house for a while. Lu Rui took the bamboo slip and glanced at it.

"Father, my lordship. gave birth to a son a year ago, and the husband gave the list of words! ”

Zhong Hui? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, grandma's, it was actually Zhong Hui! It's too coincidental, right, I also got a cheap grandson Zhonghui?

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Lu Rui's surprised appearance, Cao Jie's face was full of doubts.

"It's nothing, it's just that An'er has no news in her stomach for so many years, and her husband is also dead, and now I am really happy to receive a letter from An'er, just happy for a while." Lu Rui smiled, Zhong Hui? Hehe, little grandson, you can't run away, now there are Jiang Wei and Deng Ai in the house, plus Zhong Hui, the future Cao Wei court will be his own people, even if Sima Yi is old enough, he has enough strength to deal with it!

"I see, An'er has been begging for a child for many years, and now she has fulfilled her wish."

"Master Hou, Gonggong Cao in the palace has come to pass the word, Your Majesty let Master Hou enter the palace for a trip." As soon as he got the news that An'er gave birth to Zhonghui, Cao Ang sent someone to invite Lu Rui into the palace.

"I know, Ben Hou knows, and he will enter the palace immediately." Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, why did Cao Ang let himself enter the palace at this time, today is the day of bathing, is there anything Cao Ang can't discuss with Lu Rui in the court?

After putting on the court clothes, Lu Rui took Dian Man to the palace, and the evil Dian Wei was already old, so Lu Rui asked him to teach people to practice fighting skills in the martial arts hall in Luoyang, and he didn't let Dian Wei do the dangerous work of guarding.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is already waiting for Master Hou in the inner court." As soon as Lu Rui got out of the carriage, Gonggong Cao led Lu Rui to the inner court, and Cao Ang was waiting for Lu Rui in his study.

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" Lu Rui came to the study and saw Cao Ang sitting on a dragon chair holding a bamboo slip.

"Extraordinary? I have something to discuss with Bufan, this is the letter of Sima Yi and the ministers, tomorrow morning, I will make a decision. Cao Ang handed the text to Lu Rui, with a wry smile on his face.

The content of Sima Yi's expression is very simple, that is, Cao Ang and Mi have no heirs, and Great Wei cannot be without a prince for a day, so he asks Cao Ang to elect a prince in the clan, and at the same time, Sima Yi suggests that Cao Pi's son Cao Rui return to the clan and be selected as the reserve candidate for the prince.

This is the pain of Cao Ang and Mi's life, Mi because of his weak and sick body since childhood, his body is sick, it is difficult to get pregnant, and he just gave birth to a princess after Hua Tuo's conditioning, but Cao Ang is old, although he has accepted a few concubines, under Hua Tuo's conditioning, he only gave birth to two princesses, and now Cao Ang's health is getting worse and worse, and the hope of giving birth to an heir is getting smaller and smaller, and it is not surprising that the courtiers want to support the prince.

"Extraordinary, my body has been eleven years and is not as good as a year, even if I give birth to an heir, it will be difficult to inherit the unification, how can a young monarch be able to overwhelm the ministers?"

"It's just that it's very ridiculous that Sima Yi actually let Rui'er return to the clan, if it wasn't for the support of the family back then, how could Zihuan be expelled from the clan?" Cao Ang smiled, Sima Yi is really an idiot when he is the royal family of the Great Wei, and the emperor's strategy must be in Sima Yi's calculations.

Sima Yi is really scheming! Lu Rui looked at the text, now the situation in the court really makes it difficult for Cao Ang to ride a tiger, Cao Rui is the leader in the clan, even Cao Cao was optimistic about Cao Rui back then, and Cao Ang also wanted to make Cao Rui the prince, but in this way, Sima Yi has the merit of supporting it, even if Cao Ang and Lu Rui can understand Sima Yi's ambitions, it will be difficult to prevent Sima Yi from being promoted.

"Your Majesty, Sima Yi's ability is not small, and he is indeed a cadre, Sima Yi wants to be a camp step by step, and we can also be a camp step by step." Lu Rui thought for a moment. Sima Yi's plan is not leaky. I can't easily move Sima Yi. I can only wait for the fox to show its tail on its own.

The kings of Cao Wei in history were wary of Sima Yi and only used Sima Yi as a temporary worker. Cao Rui's minister of life care back then did not originally like Sima Yi, but Qin Lang made Cao Rui lose confidence by molesting the palace maid when Cao Rui was seriously ill, so he decided to let Sima Yi be the minister of life, and he only gave a false position of a prince, in Cao Rui's heart, the old Sima Yi was no longer lethal, but unfortunately Cao Rui was wrong.

Sima Yi's ability to seize power in Cao Wei was Sima Yi's step-by-step strategy and cautious character, and only by expanding his strength step by step could he achieve victory. Sima Yi is very cautious in every move, and will not let himself make mistakes, although Cao Wei has always been wary of Sima Yi, but he can't find a big mistake at all, and it was not until Sima Yi's last move that he knew that it was too late to regret it.

"What's the best way to be extraordinary?" Let Sima Yi lead his nose, Cao Ang was very unhappy, but Sima Yi's performance is really attractive, for the sake of Cao Wei's future, Cao Ang has long been willing to make Cao Rui the prince.

"Your Majesty. You can do so. Lu Rui thought for a while, and then attached his ear to Cao Ang's ear.

"It's a great idea. Just do what you do! Cao Ang listened to Lu Rui's words, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" On the morning of the second day, Sima Yi really acted.

"All the Qing family have worked hard to report back to Luoyang this time, and Dawei has the assistance of many people to have today's prosperous era." Cao Ang looked at the town guards who had returned to Luoyang to report on their work, raised his hand, and signaled that everyone could get up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" And all the people arched their hands, and they all got up.

"Your Majesty, Minister Sima Yi has something to do!"

"Oh? Sima Qing's family, please speak! Cao Ang nodded, signaling that Sima Yi could start.

"Your Majesty, some time ago, the minister asked for the canonization of the crown prince to calm the hearts of the people, I don't know what Your Majesty's holy will is?" Sima Yi arched his hand and replied to Cao Ang.

"The text on the Sima Qing family is indeed a big deal, I have no children under my knees, and I should have established the prince early, but the son of the clan on the Sima Qing family was selected as the prince, why is Cao Pi's son Cao Rui in the list? Cao Pi has been expelled from the sect in the previous dynasty, how can his son be regarded as a member of the royal family? Cao Ang smiled slightly, glanced at Sima Yi, and saw how Sima Yi justified himself.

"Your Majesty, although Cao Pi has been removed from the clan, but he is still the grandson of the first emperor by blood, and Cao Pi's son is talented and intelligent, and the first emperor was very fond of it when he was alive, although he has been removed from the sect, but for the sake of the great Wei national fortune, please let Cao Rui restore the name of the clan and be selected as a candidate for the crown prince!"

"But Sima Qing's family, if I let Cao Rui return to the sect, I'm afraid that the world will be dissatisfied, won't my Cao family lose trust with the people?" Cao Ang sneered in his heart, when Cao Pi eliminated the sect, the family was all in ruins, and now what tricks does Sima Yi want to do?

"Your Majesty, the father is guilty, the son is not guilty, although Cao Pi has a big crime, but he has been removed from the sect, it is a punishment, Cao Rui was not born when Cao Pi committed the crime, and Cao Rui's mother has not yet married into the Cao family, according to the laws of the previous dynasty and my dynasty, it is a crime and the current clan, Cao Rui is not a sinner, for the future of the Great Wei, the minister implores His Majesty to allow Cao Rui to return to the sect!" Sima Yi knelt in front of Cao Ang.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the famous people and people of Kyushu, I hope that the country will establish a prince as soon as possible, please Your Majesty will know it!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, please Your Majesty Mingjian!" Some officials of the family who supported Sima Yi stood up, and there were only four or five people scattered around, all of whom were Sima's in-laws.

"What Sima Qing's family said is reasonable, I don't know what Lu Qing's family suggests?" Cao Ang nodded and glanced at Lu Rui.

The ministers all looked at Lu Rui in unison, the emperor's words could not be taken seriously, and the words of the emperor's henchmen were a good pointer. Most of the ministers are not sure about Cao Ang's thoughts, although Cao Ang has no queen, but the canonization of the crown prince is always a thing that may anger the holy face, Cao Ang said that if he wants to establish a prince, he does not necessarily want to establish it!

Sima Yi smiled slightly and glanced at Lu Rui, Sima Yi had already calculated the thoughts of Cao Ang and Lu Rui, for the sake of Cao Wei's future, the two would definitely agree to set up the crown prince, and Cao Rui was the best choice, there was no reason for the two to get along with the Cao family's world. Sima Yi didn't want to ascend to the sky in one step, Sima Yi just wanted to take his official position one step further.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and what Sima Taishou said was very true." Lu Rui smiled slightly, Sima Yi has done so much work, at least he has to give others an affirmation.

"What does Captain Cao think?" Cao Ang looked at Cao Hong again, the current Cao Hong is the merit of the older generation, and there are only Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan who follow Cao Cao to fight the world.

The old minister seconded. The heirs of the Cao family should be established early! ”

The minister seconded. Please Your Majesty appoint the crown prince early! Seeing that Lu Rui and Cao Hong both agreed, the ministers agreed. Cao Ang's true thoughts were determined in their hearts, and everyone seconded it.

"Okay, this matter is decided, let Cao Rui return to the sect and be selected as a candidate for the crown prince."

"Sima Qing's family has made meritorious suggestions, and I have added Sima Qing's family as the captain of Si Li! Continue to defend Hanoi. Cao Ang knew that Sima Yi had done a lot of work in Cao Rui's return to the sect, and now that he had done a good job, he would naturally give a reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Sima Yi arched his hand. I wanted Cao Ang to thank him, but I didn't expect Cao Ang to reward himself so quickly.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the princes of the Cao family in the harem have been assassinated!" Suddenly, Gonggong Cao rushed up to the main hall in a hurry.

"What?!" Cao Ang was taken aback, those were all Cao disciples who were about to be selected as the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, a group of assassins suddenly appeared in the harem, and this sword was discovered!" Gonggong Cao presented a long sword to Cao Ang, and the hilt of the sword was engraved with the five characters of Sima Shi in Hanoi.

"Sima Qing's family, is this the sword of the Sima family in Hanoi. Why did it appear in the hands of the Assassins?! Cao Ang threw the long sword to Sima Yi.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter. Your Majesty, please be clear! Sima Yi glanced at the long sword, which was indeed the unique saber of the Sima family, but why did it appear here, Sima Yi immediately reacted, and the Sima family was overshadowed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is strange, it may be that someone slandered General Sima!" Lu Rui was the first to stand up and speak for Sima Yi, and no one would believe that Sima Yi did this kind of idiotic trick.

"What the general said is very true, this matter is indeed not about Weichen's business." Sima Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he hadn't figured it out for a while.

"Your Majesty, although General Sima is loyal to Your Majesty, there must be a reason for the incident, please hand over General Sima to Ting Wei for thorough investigation!" An official suddenly stood up and arched his hand back to Cao Ang.

Sima Yi looked at it, he was just an unknown counselor, I am afraid that he came to fall into the well, and no court will be without this kind of villain.

"Well, in that case, this matter is still handed over to Ting Wei to deal with, and no one is allowed to torture the people of the Sima clan until the matter is clarified!" Cao Ang glanced at Manzhong, and then at Sima Yi.

"Command!" Full of favor arched his hand.

A year later, in Luoyang Tingwei's cell, Sima Yi was enjoying food in a single room, but the information from the outside made Sima Yi angry, and he was calculated! Fiercely picked.

The day after Sima Yi entered the cell, Cao Ang suddenly fell seriously ill, recuperated in the palace, and ordered the general Cao Hong to supervise the country, lead the army and foreign affairs, and lead the government. Lu Rui sent the tiger and leopard cavalry to take over the palace guards to protect Cao Ang's safety.

Tingwei Manzhong began the interrogation, because the murder weapon was the property of the Sima family in Hanoi, so Sima Yi's brothers were temporarily detained to assist in the investigation, except for Sima Lang who died, Sima Min died early, and the remaining six people in Sima Bada were detained for investigation.

In Sima Yi's first month in prison, Cao Rui was established as the crown prince, and then the subordinate officials of the East Palace were arranged by the ministers. Lu Rui arranged his son Lu Wang, his adopted son Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai, a general of the Han Sect, into the East Palace. At the same time, many children of the family also entered the East Palace, including the children of Langya Zhuge and Wang, and some founding fathers of the poor family, such as the descendants of the five sons, Guo Jia's son Guo Yi, and Jia Xu's son Jia Mu.

None of the children of the family that Sima Yi originally wanted to arrange were selected, and the selected families were all families with a bad relationship with the Sima family. Sima Yi figured it out, this must be Cao Ang and Lu Rui's plan, so that he could not interfere in the East Palace, but unfortunately the most annoying thing for Sima Yi happened later.

In the third month of Sima Yi's imprisonment, Hebei sent troops to attack Hanoi, Cao Ang was seriously ill, Cao Hong replaced Sima Yi as the general of Zhendong to garrison Hanoi with Qin Lang, and He Yan was the Taishou of Hanoi to pacify the people.

"The erector destroys my Hanoi industry!" When Sima Yi heard the news, he was in prison with remorse. The army is not worried, with his own ability, even if Qin Lang temporarily controls the army, the soldiers in the army are still interested in themselves, and the worst thing is that He Yan actually became the Taishou of Hanoi.

Who is He Yan? The grandson of the general He Jin, the adopted son and son-in-law of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, and the brother-in-law of Cao Ang, have many titles, but He Yan can only engage in women, play with women, drink and walk dogs, and know nothing about political affairs. It's a pity that Cao Cao and Cao Ang have always spoiled this person, so He Yan has always been lawless, and he dares to tease the people on the street in Luoyang.

He Yan went to Hanoi, which was the disaster of Hanoi. Many women from good families have been poisoned, and this person does not know how to do government affairs, but will only overhaul mansions, manors, the money and grain saved in Hanoi and the Hanoi County that the Sima family has worked hard for many years have been made into a miasma, and their strength has been greatly damaged!

"General Sima, you can get out of prison." After a year of investigation, Sima Yi was finally released from Tingwei's cell. After Cao Ang's approval, he returned to Hanoi to lead the army to govern the county. (To be continued......)
