Chapter 278: Back to the Light
In October of the second year of Jiaping, the cold wind blew in the city of Luoyang.
There was no rain or snow, but it was a little cold.
There are no traces on the bustling streets of the past.
Only the forbidden army patrolling back and forth, holding a spear shining with cold light, walked above the market in sonorous iron armor.
A resembling aura of slaughter swept through every corner with the cold wind.
Many ragged beggars huddled in the corners, old and weak women and children hugging each other, shivering.
Their eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, and their indifference was terrifying.
In Sima's mansion, as usual, there was a lot of traffic, and the people who wanted to see him were like carps crossing the river, but they were all blocked in the outer courtyard.
The subordinates in the mansion took care of everything, and the children and nephews of the Sima family talked and laughed with the guests.
After taking power, Sima Mansion did not add a tile or a single wood, which was diametrically opposed to Cao Shuang's arrogance and lasciviousness, which made the full court of ministers praise.
It's just that in the inner courtyard, the defense is extremely tight, five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, and the armor soldier stands with a sword, and his eyes are colder than the cold wind whistling outside.
"Father's ......"
Sima Shi's eyes flashed with a complex brilliance.
Sima Yi's eyes were also shining, and he could even sit up from the sickbed, take two steps, and listen to Sima Shi's report on the affairs of the court.
At this moment, it was as if the former style of Wen Taowu had returned, but this style did not hide the strange flush on his face.
"This morning, the emperor and the queen mother each sent people to visit their father, and the emperor has been quite abnormal recently." Sima Shi reported as usual.
"In the past, the Han Dynasty filial piety emperor had an edict with clothes and belts, Wei Wu ignored his previous suspicions, married his second daughter, without the support of the scholars, the emperor can only be the emperor in the palace wall, which does not hinder the overall situation, but there is one person you are negligent." After saying so many words, Sima Yi did not gasp as before.
"Oh?" Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, the officials of the central government, the domestic scholars, but those who have a climate, or have the solidity of in-law with the Sima family, or receive the grace of Sima Yi.
Sima Shi has a kind of example, Taiyuan Wang Chang, Yingchuan Chen, Zhong, Xun, Xin, Taiyuan Jia, Pei, Shandong Yang, Zhuge and so on, the younger generation of young talents are gathered around Sima Shi.
Deng Ai, Hu Zun, Shi Bao, Zhou Tai, Wang Ji and others were all appointed to the locality.
In addition to Cao Wei's close Biqiu Jian, the deep-minded Guo Huai, and the difficult to become a climate, Wen Qin, Sima Jia's books, there is only Yang Zheng, an enemy who is not qualified enough.
And Guo Huai and Biqiu Jian were both subordinates of Sima Yi back then......
The marriage with Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou, stabilized the last unstable place - Huainan.
Sima Shi really didn't expect anyone else to be neglected.
"Father, please."
"Empress Dowager Guo!" Sima Yi chuckled.
Sima Shi was stunned for a moment, and instantly remembered the change in Gao Pingling, but in fact, he had the acquiescence and cooperation of the Empress Dowager Guo, otherwise how could Sima Fu and Sima Zhao control the inner palace so easily?
Emperor Ming was alone with Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, but he used Empress Dowager Guo to balance the two.
However, after Sima Yi became ill, Cao Shuang was not satisfied with the status quo, and continued to take a step forward, controlling the emperor and placing Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest in Yongning Palace.
In one fell swoop, it broke the balance pattern of Emperor Ming's design.
It even pushed the Empress Dowager Guo to Sima and his son.
Of course, Empress Dowager Guo is not alone, Xiping Guo moved to Luoyang, and she was favored for a while.
Father, brother and uncle were four marquis.
"Military power, fame, old age, power, my family is not lacking, but there is one thing missing." Sima Yi looked at his son kindly.
"Righteous name!" Sima Shi's eyes flashed.
"Yes, although the Cao family is declining, the heavens and people are not tired of it, only the queen mother can suppress the emperor, so that the name of righteousness can be used by you!" Sima Yi's eyes flickered like a wolf.
At the time, people said that he had the appearance of an eagle and a wolf, and today he is displayed in front of his son.
Sima Shi took three steps back, bowed down and knelt down according to the etiquette of the time, kowtowed and bowed, "My son knows, thank you for my father's teachings, and my son will promote Guo Jian to be the general of the capital." ”
Sima Shi is now only a general of the army, and if there is no record of Shangshu, he will be at the same level as Guo Jian.
Sima Yi shook his head, "Not enough." ”
Sima Shi thought for a while and said, "The son marries the second daughter Yu Zhende." ”
Guo Jian and Zhen De are all cousins of the Empress Dowager Guo, and Zhen De is particularly noble, Emperor Ming's beloved daughter Cao Shu died early, and Zhen Mi's nephew Zhen Huang was married to the underworld.
"The children can be taught." Sima Yi was so relieved that he couldn't help laughing.
But smiling and smiling, the blush on his face quickly receded, and he sighed, "I have been often disturbed by Jia Liangdao and Wang Yanyun in my dreams recently, and my time is short. ”
"If my father is in good health, he will be able to live longer." Sima Shi said with little confidence.
The imperial doctor's diagnosis is becoming less and less optimistic, and whether he can survive this winter is a question.
The imperial doctors in the palace were all under house arrest in the inner courtyard and were not connected to the outside world.
"Haha......" Sima Yi laughed, "Liu Bei once said that a person is not worthy of fifty. I am seventy-two this year, and if I have two sons, I will no longer hate! ”
After speaking, he took off the Feijing sword on the shelf, drew the sword out of the sheath, the cold light was like a shot, and the blade reflected Sima Yi's old face and sharp eyes, "Heaven and earth are opened, and the sun and the moon are bright." Encounters will be encountered, and Bi Li will be able to go away. will sweep away the filth and return to the hometown. Clear thousands of miles, total eight wilderness. Sue the old man and wait for the guilty Wuyang! ”
Sima Shi knelt quietly on the ground, watching Sima Yi chant and swing his sword.
This poem was written in the year of the expedition to Liaodong.
Gongsun Yuan held Liaoze in his own hands, did not serve Cao Wei, and Eastern Wu as an alliance, self-proclaimed emperor, Biqiu Jian expedition was unfavorable, Emperor Ming had to send Sima Yi into battle, thus creating a classic battle to destroy Liaodong in a hundred days.
Sima Yi is like the sun in the sky, making Liaodong songs.
Clear thousands of miles, there are always eight wildernesses!
This is not the language of a courtier.
From that time on, it was impossible for Emperor Ming to suppress Sima Yi through normal means.
That's why the assassin Yang You was sent......
Outside the house, someone came to report, "Taifu, general, Your Majesty sent an envoy to give the position of Xiangguo and County Prince." ”
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
"Is the emperor so impatient?" Sima Shi let out a low roar.
"The Great General forgives the sins!" An exclamation was immediately heard outside the house.
Sima Yi said: "It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty can't see me, you won't be at ease, okay, just see it, Ziyuan, your impetuous temperament must be restrained." ”
In November of the second year of Jiaping, Taifu Sima Yi resigned from the position of Xiangguo and county prince.
won a voice of praise for Sima's again.
It's just that since then, Sima Yi has really fallen down and collapsed on the sickbed, and his condition is getting worse day by day.
The cold wind in Luoyang is blowing more and more fiercely.
Goose feathers and heavy snow, one after another.
decorated the entire Luoyang City, and gradually covered the starvation in the corner of the laneway.
Xiahou Xuan was wearing a black velvet coat and looked at the snowfall by the railing.
In the attic, Xu Yun walked out slowly, "If Taifu dies, there will be no worries!" Great Wei can finally be revived. ”
Xiahou Xuan looked at the falling snow as if he hadn't heard it.
The two of them, Sima Shi and He Yan were all famous people in Luoyang back then.
After Xu Yun returned to Luoyang, he often visited Xiahou Xuan, and mentioned Yang Zheng a lot, but Xiahou Xuan never said a word to this son-in-law.
After a long time, Xiahou Xuancai sighed, "Why doesn't Shizong see anything?" Taifu can still meet me when he is young, and Ziyuan and Zishang will not tolerate me. ”
The wind howled, and the two fell silent together.
