Chapter Ninety-Two: Meng Da falsely accuses Sima Yi of rebellion

Meng Da listened, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Meng: "General Zhang, I have estimated it, and I feel that in this way, if I go to Luoyang to submit a false accusation letter to the imperial court, the imperial court yamen will generally not let me come back, and will generally arrange for me to live in a certain yamen, waiting for Sima Yi to testify." โ€

"Well, yes. That's how I estimated. In this way, four days later, you have arranged the things here, first go to Luoyang to do things, I will go to Luoyang later, I will go to Luoyang to stay in Huaishu Street Futong Inn, you remember the address, and contact me in time when the time comes. โ€

Zhang Meng and Meng Da discussed the matter properly, said goodbye to Meng Da, went to live in the inn, and waited for Meng Da to embark on the road to Luoyang, and then rushed back to Luoyang in time.

Besides, Sima Yi has been idle at home these days, although he has food and lodging and no chores, but he reads idle books every day and gossips with his family, but he feels irritable all day long, and it is getting heavier and heavier these days. Sima Yi didn't know what was going on, and saw the two sons coming out and going in all day long, although they didn't show any unusual behavior, but Sima Yi Ye felt that the two of them were not as calm as before.

Sima Yi thought about it for a while, and felt that this feeling was the days before he was dismissed, Sima Yi became vigilant when he thought of this, and instructed his family to go out to do things: "Don't gossip, go home early after finishing things, don't delay time outside, lest accidents happen." โ€

Despite this advice, the family agreed, and lived like this carefully every day, but Sima Yi's upset mood could not be calmed down.

After lunch, Sima Yi had to squint on the bed in the study and take a nap.

In the afternoon of this day, Sima Yi had just laid down, and had not yet fallen asleep, in the haze, he only heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a burst of random knocking on the door, only to hear many people shouting to open the door, Sima Yi listened, was awakened all of a sudden, and was about to get up to check, when suddenly Sima Shi broke in in a panic, and shouted: "Father, father, get up, get up, a group of forbidden soldiers came, saying that they came to catch the thieves and raid the house." โ€

Sima Yi listened, dizzy for a while, and when he was in a panic, he saw a group of black-clothed people rushing in with guns and knives, and an official in a red robe at the head stood still when he entered the door, unfolded the yellow cloth in his hand and read: "Under the holy decree, Sima Yi will accept the decree!" โ€

When Sima Yi heard this, Sima Shi hurriedly knelt down, and listened in horror, what the holy decree said Sima Yi conspired against the imperial court, and ordered the forbidden army to be arrested immediately, escorted to the forbidden army yamen and detained, waiting for interrogation and verification.

When Sima Yi heard this, he shouted that he was wronged, and the yellow-clothed forbidden army official listened to it, and sneered and ordered: "Sima Gong, the merits have their own court judgment, and they are ordered to arrest them, let's go!" โ€

When several black forbidden soldiers heard this, they rushed up, tied Sima Yiye three of them for a while, tied them up sturdy, and then pushed them out and came to the middle of the courtyard.

I only heard the yellow-clothed official command again: "Sealed!" The black-clad janissaries rushed through the door, herding dozens of family members into the courtyard, then closing the gate and sealing it. Only then did he push Sima Yiye and the three of them towards the yamen of the forbidden army.

It turned out that after Meng Da came to the capital Luoyang with two false accusation letters, he first found an inn to live in, rested for a day, and inquired about the court every morning in the past few days, so he chose an opportunity to come to meet Luo Gan, the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army, with a false accusation letter, and after meeting, he exchanged three words and a few words, and Meng Da handed the false accusation letter to Luo Gan with both hands.

When Luo Gan saw it, he knew that this matter was extraordinary, so he hurriedly sent Meng Da away, and then entered the palace overnight, asking to see Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei.

At this time, Cao Rui was about to go to bed, and heard a report from the inner court, saying that someone had exposed Sima Yi's rebellion, and when he heard it, he was shocked and hurriedly left the palace to meet Luo Gan in the side hall.

Luo Gan entered the hall, knocked on Cao Rui, and presented the two false accusation letters brought by Meng Da to Cao Rui, Cao Rui opened it, his mind was excited, and he almost fainted to the ground, fortunately, the eunuch behind him controlled it in time, so he stood up, stroked his forehead and sighed: "In the end, I didn't wronged this Sima old thief, this is the Hongfu of the Great Wei world, fortunately, someone reported it, otherwise, I could really be troubled by this old thief." โ€

Cao Rui sighed here, turned around and paced a few steps, and sighed again: "Some people say that my grandfather Emperor Wei Wu said many times back then, saying that it is Sima Yi who looks down on the eagle and looks at the eagle, and the person who will be difficult to be the next person after a long time, the grandson of the future generations, cannot be entrusted with a heavy responsibility to Sima Yi." Oh, it's still my grandfather who was prescient.

However, my father, Emperor Ming, devoted himself to studying poetry and books, and did not focus on observing the ministers of the court, but always regarded Sima Yi as a minister, and when he died, he entrusted Sima Yi with national affairs. It's really terrible to think about, if it weren't for the report of a loyal minister, Sima Lao Thief would ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Cao Rui muttered here, turned around and asked Luo Gan, "Where is the person who reported it now?" โ€

Luo Gan truthfully reported that the person who reported it was Xincheng Taishou Mengda, and he was now staying at the Futong Inn.

Cao Rui listened and instructed Luo Gan: "Early tomorrow morning, just here, I will personally meet Meng Taishou, you go and prepare." โ€

Luo Gan listened, bid farewell to Emperor Cao Rui, came to the Futong Inn on Huaishu Street overnight, took Meng Da to the Jiumen Yamen to stay, and told him to rest well, and to answer Yunyun truthfully when he was ready to meet the monarch tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Luo Gan took Meng Da to the side hall, met Cao Rui, the lord of Wei, and then leaned over to answer Cao Rui's question.

Cao Rui first asked Meng Da how he had contact with Sima Yi, and Meng Da replied: "Emperor Ming's life is a matter of handing over the defense of the Shangyong area to the last general, and the last general has many uncertainties about our military affairs, so he often consults General Sima."

At that time, General Sima worked diligently for the state affairs, but the last general asked for advice on unknown matters, and the general would reply to every letter and give careful advice, which was really admirable.

After the general was dismissed, he also gave me a secret letter, which was the second letter to the emperor. The content of this letter must have been understood by His Majesty, that is, he instructed the last general not to rebel, hide it, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it. โ€

Cao Rui listened, nodded slightly, and instructed Meng Da to submit the previous correspondence with Sima Yi for verification.

Meng Da presented more than a dozen letters from Sima Yi that he had brought over, Cao Rui saw it, and believed in reviewing it from beginning to end, and then put on a straight face, wrote a holy decree with a pen, and ordered the eunuch to hand it to Luo Gan, and at the same time ordered: "Immediately arrest the traitor Sima Yi and his son, send them to the Yamen of the forbidden army, and interrogate them strictly." โ€

So, in Sima Yi's house, a previous story happened.
