Chapter Twenty-Five: The Disgusting of Man, One Thing!
Justice!
How can these brilliant words, these glorious words, not make people's hearts excited, how can they not make people's hearts happy and convinced?
The crown of justice.
Banner of justice.
Sima Zhongda, an old minister of the Four Dynasties, the world is clear, and he is willing to fight for the Great Wei Sheji, and at this moment there are already people in Chang'an City who are in tears.
It works!
Sima Yi reacted immediately, and he said fiercely: "Everyone, since the collapse of Emperor Ming, how many ups and downs has my Great Wei gone through until now?"
When Emperor Ming handed over the hand of His Majesty to me, my heart was full of ambition, and I said that I would learn from the second duke of Wenxuan, King Luowen, and Huo Guang.
Emperor Ming trusted me and made me the third duke, for me, if it was just for the so-called glory and wealth, it would be an insult.
Because what I have pursued has never been to be a prominent courtier, but for the ideals of my heart.
Cao Shuang forced me to the current situation, I showed weakness in every way, and he was still unwilling to let me go, but you can imagine his attitude towards other ministers like treating domestic servants.
The evil of the human heart is as good as this!
Am I standing here today for the sake of me?
I am for the sake of Dawei and the ministers and the people of the city, what others are not willing to do, I am willing to do, what others are afraid to do, I am not afraid, just because I have justice in my heart! β
The hall is full of all the big families of the Wei State, and even the close friend of Sima Yi of the Cao clan, and the Yingchuan Chen family, who is also the friend of the Sima family, walked out of the statement and said loudly to everyone: "What Zhong Dagong said is really heartbreaking, such as today's turbulence, all countries are frequently fighting, and Yan Guo frequently attacks, and there is a desire to annex the world."
Only I, the Wei State, was actually controlled by Cao Shuang, and the land of Hedong was only a small projectile in Hedong, and it was impossible to capture Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Shudi, and its incompetence was simply appalling, so that it was in charge, isn't it ridiculous?
The old ministers of the four dynasties of Zhongda Gong, Yunwen Yunwu, and today he is doing a righteous act for the world, if you don't help, can you really settle down? One day, if Cao Shuang has the intention of usurping the throne to His Majesty, how can he be worthy of the spirit of the first emperor in the sky? β
Having said that, the coup d'Γ©tat is beyond the reach of most people, especially those people present, who are not willing to participate in this kind of thing.
To be more explicit, if Sima Yi was not against Cao Shuang now, he would not be so calm now, Cao Shuang turned against the anger of the public, except for his henchmen, almost all the ministers of Wei wanted him to die.
But there were still many people who were hesitating, Sima Yi took control of Chang'an and the surrounding arsenals, closed the city gates, and occupied Cao Shuang's military camp, which already had the upper hand.
A minister came out and asked loudly: "Taiwei, Zhong Dagong, if the wind and rain are shaky today, Cao Shuang is leading the army outside, and even His Majesty is in his hands, if he takes His Majesty hostage and flees to Luoyang, what will it be?"
In today's world, once there is a civil war between Chang'an and Luoyang, the state of Chu, the state of Han, and the state of Yan will not give up, and my great Wei will rest! β
This was said to everyone's hearts, this is exactly what most people hesitated, no one wants to watch the Wei State perish like this.
Because the rise and fall of the family is accompanied by the change of dynasties.
Look at the family since ancient times, the nobles of the Xia Dynasty were marginalized in the Shang Dynasty, and the rest of the nobles were even more difficult to see, the royal family of the Shang Dynasty was discriminated against, the first half of the "Funny Collection" was discriminated against, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was wiped out, and the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty were only left with the Luo family and the Lu family to rebuild.
The Qin Dynasty didn't say much, it had been wiped out, the Han Dynasty was rising, and now the county prince of Longxi only had his status left, without the slightest power, and the five surnames and seven hopes fell apart.
Look at the princely families who fought for hegemony at the beginning, the major families in the Yuan family and the Zhao kingdom are now second-rate, and the emerging families who support Cao Wei and Liu Bei are emerging, not to mention the Chu state, all the southern clans that were looked down upon by the Central Plains at the beginning, but now they are thriving.
The strength of the so-called scholar clan is too weak in front of the country, and Cao Shuang, a stupid pig who is all political and military garbage, can withstand everyone's dissatisfaction and push Sima Yi, who is crowned by the scholar clan, into a Jedi.
If the Wei State were to fall, these people present would not dare to imagine how far their family would fall, and the second-rate family and the third-rate family would still be nameless.
It is precisely like this, no one wants to see the Wei civil war, which is also what Sima Yi is worried about, but he will not show it, he must show the determination of his will, so that others will be more on his side to try to solve the problem.
Cao Shuang has soldiers in his hands, but these people think that he is more likely to withdraw than attack Chang'an, naturally there are reasons, and there are many reasons, two of which cannot be ignored.
Cao Shuang only has soldiers, but he is short of food, he is going to worship, not to fight, he was ready to turn back the next day, the army only has a maximum of no more than three days of food, once cut off, the consequences are unimaginable.
The second is that it has always been a system, and the families of the soldiers are generally in the hands of Sima Yi, which makes the soldiers attack Chang'an, and throw out the heads of their old parents and wives and children from the city, and the morale will collapse directly, and Sima Yi's prestige in the Wei State and the prestige in the army are also real.
Cao Shuang must have some concerns, unless he jumps over the wall in a hurry, and he has to fight to the death with Sima Yi, with the intention of ending up together, otherwise Cao Shuang is at an absolute disadvantage.
This is why Sima Yi only has a few thousand people, so he dares to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and he is not particularly worried, as for whether Cao Shuang will jump over the wall in a hurry, he is sure that Cao Shuang will not.
He is too smart, even in the entire Han Dynasty, he is one of the smartest people, especially at the moment when almost all the other top strategists are dead, he is more and more dazzling, for his so-called opponent, Sima Yi thinks about it, or only four words stupid and stupid like a pig can be evaluated, only four words can be evaluated, only four words can be evaluated.
Sima Yi still said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "Cao Shuang is an important minister of the state, he is a relative of the Cao family, Yi thought that he would take care of the overall situation, Yi has already written to His Majesty the Emperor, requesting that Cao Shuang be removed from various official positions and deposed from his position." β
β¦β¦
Gao Pingling, Cao Shuang has intercepted Sima Yi's letter to Cao Fang, he looked at the letter, only to feel shocked, Sima Yi said to Cao Fang in the letter: "Your Majesty, the first emperor entrusted you to the ministers and Cao Shuang because you were young, so that the two of us could help the country, but I didn't expect that people's hearts would change so quickly, and Cao Shuang did something to bully him for power.
He appointed his cronies inside and outside the government and the opposition, planted his own eyeliner in the palace, and prevented His Majesty from seeing the Queen Mother, which was to divide the flesh and blood relationship between you and the Queen Mother, and this was to do something wrong to His Majesty He has done beyond what a courtier should do, but a shocking thing that he has never heard of.
Is this the meaning of the first emperor's entrustment?
I don't think so.
If this continues, will your throne still be secured?
I thought I couldn't.
If Cao Shuang is allowed to go down, will Wei be able to last long?
I didn't think it worked.
So the minister obeyed the will of the first emperor, crusaded against Cao Shuang, who was not a minister, and eliminated the traitors on the king's side, and the minister earnestly asked you to depose Cao Shuang and the officials of the same party around him, so that Cao Shuang left the central court of my Great Wei, and only let him retire as a marquis.
This must be a better ending for Da Wei.
Minister Sima Yi bowed again! β
Cao Shuang read the letter, Sima Yi in Chang'an City also estimated that he had almost read the letter, this letter was not written to Emperor Cao Fang, but to Cao Shuang, Sima Yi knew that his letter would definitely not reach Cao Fang, all the abuse of Cao Shuang in front of this letter was not important, the important thing was to let Cao Shuang retire as a marquis.
This is a psychological hint from Sima Yi to Cao Shuang, he doesn't really want to live and die with Cao Shuang, he doesn't really do so much for the country, he only wants to live for himself, with this psychological hint, he can only try to persuade Cao Shuang to surrender after that.
After Cao Shuang read Sima Yi's letter, his heart was full of fear, not at all like a general holding a large army.
Since ancient times, those who can worship the general, have a flat thunder in their chests and face like a flat lake, Mount Tai collapses in front and their faces do not change, this is a very person, a supernatural master, and Cao Shuang, he is a pig and dog, a cowardly person, wearing armor, holding a sharp weapon, still like a monkey in the mountains, there is no courage to fight with Sima Yi to life and death, many people in Chang'an City are still worried that Cao Shuang is holding the emperor hostage and fleeing to Luoyang to fight the civil war, if he really has this courage, Sima Yi will not live until now.
In the face of today's situation, Cao Shuang's whole person was already stunned, he didn't know why Sima Yi would resist, this was not within his expectations, his idea was that now that he had completely occupied the advantage, Sima Yi should be the one who was killed, how could he still resist, he could resist, and even forced himself into a desperate situation?
Yes.
Cao Shuang now thinks that he is in a desperate situation, thinking that he will die if he is not careful, and he doesn't know what to do now.
It's really a pity, if the group of heroes and heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty faced Cao Shuang's current situation, they were afraid that they would be able to laugh out loud, this was simply the beginning of Tianhu, they had 10,000 ways to kill Sima Yi, but at this moment it was Cao Shuang who was facing all this, just like a child holding gold in the market, hurting others and himself.
Just when Cao Shuang was still in the extreme shock, Sima Yi in Chang'an City had already started his second round of performances, he once again gathered his friends, and at the same time there were famous scholars in the entire Wei State, in front of these people, Sima Yi began to perform, his wrinkled face was full of tears, his hair was messy, he looked haggard to the extreme, and sighed: "Everyone, now that the situation has reached the point where it is now, Cao Shuang has built fortifications outside the city, and the Great Wei is about to fall into civil strife, this is our sin, This is something we can't stop, so what should we do now?
You are all famous scholars all over the world, if you come forward to make peace with Cao Shuang and me, it must be feasible, as long as Cao Shuang surrenders, I promise not to hurt his life, I will let him enjoy his old age in peace, all the glory and wealth are still the same as before, this is my promise, I Sima Yi's life reputation, all here. β
Sima Yi's statement made everyone suddenly excited, the people here are all three princes and nine kings or scholars, all of them are well-known figures, what they are most afraid of is that Sima Yi and Cao Shuang are not willing to take a step back, they must make trouble to the point of life and death, now seeing that Sima Yi is willing to take the initiative to seek peace, he suddenly became excited, Chen Tai said directly: "Zhongda, if you are willing to make peace with Cao Shuang, I still have some clear names in my life, and I can be regarded as having a thin face in front of some people, I'm going to put this face on my face to tell you. β
The other people had the same idea to guarantee Sima Yi, and they didn't have any psychological burden.
If Sima Yi is described as collateral, he is too high-quality collateral, loyal and capable all his life, with good conduct, he can be described as both capable and virtuous, and they never thought that Sima Yi might break his promise.
Because it's not reasonable, it's not logical.
Now Sima Yi's reputation in Wei can not be higher, and there are moral models in all countries, and Sima Yi is the moral model of Wei and a model of famous ministers.
Such a person, from leaving a name in history, only one death remains, and if this kind of thing is not guaranteed in the evening, a fool will do it, and in order to seize power, he will lose his reputation for a lifetime, and the price paid is too great, how many people even do not hesitate to die for a reputation.
This is quite correct logic, even if Sima Yiyin raises the dead, which makes many people feel uncomfortable, but everyone still thinks that he is trying to deal with Cao Shuang's persecution, which naturally has everyone's prejudice against Cao Shuang, but more trust in logic.
Sima Yi nodded again and said firmly: "Then I will bother you, for the sake of my Great Wei's society, for the justice of the world, for the sake of Your Majesty and the people, go to Cao Shuang, let him lay down his weapons, don't set off bloody killings, and be a rich man with peace of mind, which is good for everyone." β
After that, he and everyone high-fived as an oath, and the crisp high-fives resounded in everyone's hearts, it was a solid promise, and everyone who got Sima Yi's promise hurriedly left the army, preparing to go to Cao Shuang's barracks to persuade Cao Shuang to surrender, this is not an easy task, and it is necessary to make complete preparations.
Sima Yi looked at the figure of everyone leaving, he looked at the blue sky, it was still so bright, as clear as glass When the last person left the mansion, Sima Yi's eyes cast a gloom, he thought about all the endings, his eyes were full of entanglement and a trace of fear, as well as a trace of confusion about the future, he was talking about something, and finally his eyes were firm.
