Sima Shi, who appeared like a ghost, startled Gao Rou.

He never thought that Sima Shi would appear in his mansion.

If it was a month ago, Gao Rou would not be so afraid, at most she was a little jealous.

But now, in the face of Sima Shi, who is about to rot and may die at any time, Gao Rou is extremely frightened.

Sima Shi can't take away all the ministers in the temple.

But if he was determined to take one of them, it would be perfectly fine.

The relationship between the ministers and the Sima family is very delicate, including the relationship between the local government and the Sima family.

If Sima Shi was gone, the relationship between the ministers and the Sima family might become more harmonious, after all, Sima Zhao was far less threatening to the ministers than his brother.

Sima Zhao would take his ministers to nibble on the prey together, but Sima Shi would also take the other big clans as prey, and from time to time he would turn around and take a bite.

In the face of Sima Shi's death-defying counterattack, the ministers will probably endure it, and they will not fight to the death with him, anyway, it is the final blow, as long as it does not exceed the limit of their patience.

Gao Rou didn't feel that the fact that she was being killed could exceed the limits of her ministers' patience.

These jackals don't care about the life and death of their companions at all.

Looking at the strong crossbows aimed at her in the distance, Gao Rou couldn't help but be stunned in her heart, this guy didn't really want to take herself, right?

After all, he was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and Gao Rou quickly calmed down.

"General, why are you here?"

Sima Shi looked at Gao Rou in front of him, and then at Gao Guang who was standing beside him.

Under Sima Shi's gaze, Gao Guang's performance was even more unbearable, he turned pale with fright, and almost sat down on the ground, that is, his father stood aside, giving him some peace of mind.

"I haven't seen Situ Gong for a long time, and I miss it very much, so I came uninvited"

Sima Shi's voice became hoarser than ever.

"I was too busy with state affairs to meet the general, and I asked the general not to blame"

Gao Rou looked at the pale servants in the distance and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze?" It's rare for the general to come, and he still hasn't prepared tea? ”

Gao Rou said so, but the servants didn't dare to move, mainly because the armor soldiers stood behind them, grabbed their shoulders with their hands, and never let go.

Gao Rou looked at them, shook her head with a smile, and said with emotion: "General, the minister is old, but even the servants dare to despise me like this." ”

Sima Shi looked at him, motioned for him to follow, and then turned around and walked into the study.

The two sat in the study, and Gao Rou looked at Sima Shi in front of them.

Sima Shi's weakness could no longer be hidden, a month ago, he was only emaciated, but full of strength, but at this moment, he seemed to be drained of his spiritual energy, and the smell of decaying wood permeated his surroundings.

Even if he dies here the next moment, Gao Rou will not be surprised.

"Situ Gong has a lot of things to do, and my time is limited, so I really don't want to waste it."

"I want to ask, does Situ Gong want to live or die?"

Sima Shi asked very seriously.

Gao Rou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry.

"Does the general want to kill the old man?!"

Sima Shi looked at the armor on the side, "Go and kill Gao Guang." ”

The armor then walked out.

Gao Rou was shocked, stood up abruptly, and stood in front of the armor soldier, "Sima Shi!! What do you want to do?! ”

"You have three sons."

"So don't panic, I can ask you three times."

"Your old husband is an old minister of the three dynasties, and he is a court situ, if you dare to kill me, the ministers will definitely not spare me"

"Situ Gong, how do you compare to Cao Shuang? How is it compared to Wang Ling? How is it compared to Xiahou Xuan? ”

"They rebelled! But the old man never rebelled! ”

"Do you dare to be the enemy of the ministers?!"

"Don't dare."

Sima Shi replied very simply, he said seriously: "Therefore, before coming, I have already let Zhong Hui be in charge of the new knighthood, and I didn't want to do this for the fifth-class title, but the situation forced me to do it." ”

"This new title system should be able to appease the ministers, and it will not embarrass me for a selfish Situ Gong, besides, I will not kill you directly, I will tell them that you are against this system and do not want to divide the power in your hands."

"You've done this kind of thing, presumably when the time comes, you don't need me to do it, and the ministers will want your life."

"What does Situ Gong think?"

Gao Rou opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but it was as if she was choked by the neck and couldn't say anything.

His breathing grew more and more rapid.

"Why is the general here?"

"I've always been close to your father"

"Situ Gong, do you want to live or die?"

Sima Shi asked again.

Gao Rou's whole body trembled, he slowly sat down in his place, his eyes were glazed, his lips trembled slightly, and finally spit out those two words, "I want to live." ”

Sima Shi nodded, "Situ Gong is really a sage. ”

"I'll resign tomorrow, Situ's position, I'll give up"

"Situ Gong is still strong, why do you want to resign?"

Sima Shi asked rhetorically.

Gao Rou was almost mad, "What the hell does the general want to do?!" ”

"Situ Gong, you helped my family at the beginning, I will not forget this kindness, don't worry, I never thought of doing it to you, nor did I think of murdering the Gao family."

"If I really have this idea, when I killed Xiahou Xuan before, I would have eliminated you as well, and I wouldn't have left it until now."

"I'm here this time mainly because you want to send your son under the command of Biqiu Jian."

Master Sima sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Don't you think that I am not Biqiu Jian's opponent?" ”

Gao Rou didn't speak, and her face became more and more ugly.

Sima Shi said softly: "I won't embarrass you, you are still your Situ, no one knows that I have been here, and General Zhengxi will not know about this matter, except for your son who can't go to Huainan, the rest of the things are as usual." ”

"However, I would like to ask Situ Gong to keep an eye on one thing for me."

"General Zhengxi left your son strongly, and when he is not allowed to go out, you will definitely be very angry and aggrieved."

"At this time, if someone finds you, informs you of a major matter, or conspires with you, please be sure to inform me in time."

Gao Rou suddenly laughed, and this laughter was very bitter.

"The Great General is using me as bait? In this temple, are there any people who need to be baited by the general himself? ”

Sima Shi shook his head, "It's not bait, it's just curious, I want to see what they want to do."

"Okay."

"The old man did it."

"It's so best that you have the status you have now, it's not easy, why take any more risks?"

"In addition, these servants in your house are not very diligent, I think, it is better to change."

Gao Rou closed her eyes and did not dare to refuse Sima Shi.

Sima Shi slowly stood up and walked outside, Gao Rou followed behind him, and when he reached the door, he stopped.

"Situ Gong, there's one more thing."

"My brother is not a good person, he is naturally timid."

"Next time, don't intimidate him again."

At this moment, inside the General's Palace.

Sima Zhao, who was "naturally timid", knelt in front of the desk, his face was full of sadness, looking at the two people in front of him, and he really didn't know how to speak.

The two people sitting in front of him were Du Yu and Zhong Hui.

Sima Zhao hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I want to arrange a marriage for Your Majesty." ”

"Oh?"

Zhong Hui's eyes lit up, "Is there a candidate for the general?" ”

Sima Zhao was a little entangled, and said in a low voice: "My brother's daughter Sima Yu is virtuous and well-known, and I want her to marry His Majesty as his wife."

This matter is difficult for even Sima Zhao to talk about.

Du was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"General! How can this work?! Guo De has only been dead for two months, and besides, His Majesty takes the Queen Mother as his mother, how can he take his uncle as his wife.

"Wonderful!! Wonderful!! ”

Zhong Hui immediately clapped his hands, his face full of excitement.

Du Yu looked at him in astonishment.

Zhong Hui said: "Sima Yu is the most suitable!" It is because she is Guo De's wife that she is the most suitable! ”

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are getting closer and closer, Biqiu Jian and others think that the emperor has inherited the mantle of Emperor Liezu, if the emperor is allowed to marry Guo De's widow, hahaha, how will the emperor inherit the mantle of Emperor Liezu?"

"If you inherit it, won't you become a beast to marry your aunt?"

"In this way, the emperor and the Guo family can no longer be united!"

Du was stunned.

He hurriedly looked at Sima Zhao and said, "General! Emperor Wen once ordered that his relatives were not allowed to participate in politics, if the daughter of the general married His Majesty, wouldn't the temple ministers have to attack with this? ”

Zhong Hui was very disdainful, "Don't you hear the reason of the new sage? The etiquette of the past is not suitable for the current era, and if any minister feels that he has violated Emperor Wen's edict, then send them to see Emperor Wen. ”

Du Yu frowned, and his face was very ugly.

Sima Zhao was also a little hesitant, he said in a low voice: "This woman is very affectionate, Cao Chao is so seductive, if you really fall in love with him, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

Zhong Hui said calmly: "General, you have thought too much that this is only a temporary move. ”

Of course, Sima Zhao understood what Zhong Hui meant.

Once something happens to the brother, the emperor will be deposed or killed, which is a temporary means to prevent Cao Chao from making trouble in the short term.

He said solemnly: "My brother's condition has been cured!" ”

Zhonghui did not speak again.

Sima Zhao looked at the two of them and sighed again.

It could be seen that Sima Zhao also had a headache at the moment, he instructed the two not to spread the matter, and then ordered them to leave.

Du Yu looked at Zhong Hui who was walking in front of him, and his eyes were extremely complicated.

Zhong Hui stopped suddenly, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, "Du Jun, do you have anything to teach me?" ”

Du Pre opened his mouth and asked, "Gong Zhong, I heard that you appreciate Your Majesty very much, why do you want to agree with such a thing that violates human morality?" ”

Zhong Hui turned around and looked at Du Yu in front of him playfully.

"I have great respect for Your Majesty."

"So"

"You're going to have to do your best."
