Chapter 178: Anointing
The wind and snow in the imperial capital Luoyang stopped for a while.
Today's Sima Mansion welcomes an important guest.
Li Sheng, a hot figure in the court.
Li Sheng was originally a front-line figure in Cao Shuang Group, friendly with Xiahou Xuan, one of the Four Congs, and one of the eight masters on the same list as Zhuge Dan.
The people of the time commented that Ya was intelligent.
However, Luo Gu's defeat caused his reputation to plummet.
At the beginning, it was Deng Yang and Li Sheng who instigated Cao Shuang to destroy Shu, which was criticized by the people.
Yang Wei, who joined the army in Shu, once bluntly said: Yang and victory will defeat national affairs.
However, with Cao Shuang's seizure of power, Li Sheng became vigorous again, and successively served as the Taishou of Xingyang and Yin of Henan, and he was about to become the assassin of Jingzhou.
Of course, an official of the level of Jingzhou Thorn is not so easy to get.
Even Cao Shuang, who holds great power, has to mediate with the old ministers of the Shi clan.
It is also necessary to inform the local powerful factions and get their permission.
In particular, Jingyu was the governor of the southern general Wang Chang.
Fortunately, with Cao Shuang's current power, there are not many people who really dare to disobey him.
Sima Mansion gave Li Sheng a very high reception standard, Sima Shi treated him warmly, personally carried the horse for him, welcomed into the mansion, and the sons and nephews of the Sima family came to visit, and the thoughtfulness of the etiquette made Li Sheng a little fluttering.
But he did not forget his mission, "I heard that Taifu was seriously ill for many days, and a certain person came to visit. Li Sheng grabbed Sima Shi's hand cordially.
"My father has been bedridden for many days, and he is only afraid of disturbing Your Excellency......"
"It's okay, it's okay, I've known Taifu for many years, Taifu is seriously ill, and I'm about to leave Beijing, how can I not say goodbye to Taifu in person?" Li Sheng said with a smile.
As Cao Shuang's confidant, Li Sheng visited Sima Yi, who can not know the deep meaning?
The more Sima Shi obstructed, the more urgent Li Sheng saw Sima Yi's thoughts.
Besides, you can't stop it.
Sima Shi politely said a few words, and he did not stop him, and was sent to Sima Yi's ward.
Before Li Sheng entered, a person walked out of the ward, his body was rickety, he was old, his face was full of wrinkles and markings, and he seemed to be unable to even look at him, and looked at Li Sheng and said, "Ziyuan, my son, change clothes for me, change clothes." β
Sima Shi hurriedly stepped forward.
Li Sheng stretched out his hand to stop Sima Shi, took the clothes from the maid's hand, and personally put them on for Sima Yi.
But Sima Yi took two steps tremblingly, and his clothes fell to the ground again.
Sima Yi's trembling fingers pointed to his mouth and said, "Thirsty, thirsty!" β
The maid hurriedly brought the porridge and fed it to Sima Yi's mouth, and while drinking, the porridge flowed from the corners of her mouth and covered the placket.
Li Sheng's eyes were fixed on his face, not letting go of any subtle expressions and movements.
can be rated as a bada and become Cao Shuang's henchman, Li Sheng still has some ability and vision.
Otherwise, he would not have seen that Cao Shuang lacked military merits, and tried his best to encourage Cao Shuang to destroy Shu.
The path was right, but it didn't get done.
The porridge water flowed from the corner of Sima Yi's mouth to the placket of his clothes, and then dripped to the ground.
Tick, tick......
A sound made the hall quieter.
Only the sound of the breathing of the people around you.
The Han and Wei dynasties paid the most attention to manners.
The so-called Nine Grades Official Law is not a matter of family background, behavior, and appearance.
If a person is ugly, he will naturally not be able to enter the eyes of the central officials.
Gradually, a trend was formed.
Both men and women are pink and red, and they are beautiful in gorgeous clothes.
Sima Yi is a dignified old minister of the four dynasties, Cao Wei Taifu, the existence that people all over the world look up to, if it weren't for the terminally ill old age, how could he be so disrespectful?
A few thoughts quickly turned in Li Sheng's mind, of course, these were not enough to completely dispel his suspicions, "Li Sheng came to see Ming Gong. β
Sima Yi only cared about drinking porridge, as if he hadn't heard it.
Sima Shi said loudly in Sima Yi's ear: "Father, Li Gongzhao came to visit. β
Sima Yi stopped drinking porridge at this time, stared at Li Sheng with cloudy eyes, and after a while, there was a focus in his eyes, "It turned out to be Gongzhao." β
Li Shengdao: "Everyone said that the old wind of the Ming Gong was launched, what does it mean to respect the body!" β
Sima Yi was out of breath as soon as he said a word, "Old age and pillow disease, dying on the eve of death." Jun is now bent and merged with the state, and the state is close to Hu, so as to prepare for it, I am afraid that I will not see each other again, my son, Brother Zhao, Gongzhao will take care of one or two more in the future. β
Li Sheng corrected: "When the state is not merged, it is not a state." β
Li Sheng was a native of Jingzhou, and his father defected to Zhang Lu, after Zhang Lu surrendered to Wei Wu, and Li Sheng joined Cao Wei.
It is based on Jingzhou.
Sima Yi's eyes were dazed and confused, "Jun Fang has arrived in the state?" β
Li Sheng said loudly: "Jingzhou, Jingzhou." β
Sima Yi was stunned and said: "Old age is ridiculous, and I don't understand the king's words." Today, it is still for the state, Shengde is heroic, and it is good to make meritorious deeds! β
Every word, every expression, and even every look that came out of his mouth was seamless.
Li Sheng's eyes looked at it repeatedly, but he didn't see any flaws after all.
He turned his gaze to Sima Shi again.
And Sima Shi's face was covered with a faint layer of sadness, which was also just right, and any more or less points did not fit the current scene.
Li Sheng didn't even let go of the expressions of the two maids.
There is not a trace of dissonance in all of them.
Sima Yi choked up, "Say goodbye to you now, take care of your strength, and your time is short." β
Li Sheng finally sighed, exchanged a few words of greeting, and left.
The clouds in Sima's Mansion were gloomy, but the General's Mansion was full of singing and dancing.
The chimes brought from the palace have a clear sound.
The talented women selected during the Ming Emperor period were also stunning.
Deng Yang and He Yan drooled when they saw it.
Ding Mi, Cao Xun, Cao Yan and others pushed the cup and changed the lamp.
Cao Shuang closed his eyes and recuperated, as if listening to music.
So much so that no one paid attention to Li Sheng's arrival.
"Taifu's corpse is still angry, and the form and spirit have left, so there is no need to worry." Li Sheng said angrily.
"Can you see clearly?" Ding Mi glanced up.
Li Sheng took a sip of the wine bottle and poured it, and said in a calm and confident tone: "Taifu's language is wrong, he doesn't take a cup, the guide is north, he is out of breath in a few words, he is terminally ill, he is extremely deaf, and his time is short." β
Ding Mi frowned, Sima Yi was the target of his life, and if he didn't see the corpse, he wouldn't be at ease after all.
Deng Yang squinted his eyes and said: "Sima Yi is sixty and nine this year, which can be regarded as a long life." β
He Yan said softly: "Now that the military power in Luoyang is in the hands of the general, and there is no guest in Sima's mansion, even if he pretends to be sick, what can he do?" β
Cao Shuang smiled: "Yes, yes, my heart disease has gone, this is a great pleasure, you should drink it." β
The hall immediately resounded with the sound of singing praises of virtue.
Ding Mi was targeted by Deng Yang and He Yan, and he was a little resentful, "If you are stable today, and the general is mighty in the four seas, you might as well transfer back to Guo Huai and Sun Li." β
No one bites, Ding Mi is really a little unaccustomed.
Guo Huai is like Sima Yi's protΓ©gΓ©.
But Sun Li was a talent personally selected by Emperor Ming for Cao Shuang and served as a general Changshi.
It's a pity that Sun Li is too upright, his personality is similar to Du Shu, he is upright, and he is not liked by Cao Shuang's group, and later offended Cao Shuang because Sima Yi provoked the demarcation of Qinghe and Pingyuan counties, and was sentenced to five years in prison and lived at home.
Deng Yang said: "This matter must not be, Guo Huai is a general, Zhen Yongliang for 30 years, outstanding meritorious service, rashly recalled, afraid that Yongliang will shake, when slowly drawing." β
Cao Shuang nodded slightly, agreeing with Deng Yang's point of view.
Li Sheng's expression moved, "Yang Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard, broke the Qiang Hu and swept across the West Sea, there is nothing to do in the northwest, it is better to ......"
Cao Shuang picked up a Western Regions grape and stuffed it into his mouth, "What's better?" β
"Yang Zheng is quite a general, General Wei in Qinzhou is competent, his subordinates go to Jingzhou, and there is a lack of talent around him, why don't you go to Jingzhou with me?" A cold light twitched out of the corner of Li Sheng's eyes.
The corners of Cao Shuang's mouth chewed slightly, tasting the sweetness of the grapes, and after a while, he slowly spit out a word: "Yes." β
