Leaving Guo Zhao's isolation room, Cao Zhang and the Sima brothers took another turn in the paper mill.

"Boda, Zhongda, you have worked hard." Seeing the hot scene in the paper mill, Cao Zhang's heart was very gratified.

Sima Lang hurriedly said humbly: "Gongzi is serious, this is a matter within the minister's responsibility, not to mention that the Sima family has no less benefits, not to mention hard work." ”

Cao Zhang nodded, looked at Sima Yi, and asked directly, "How is it, Zhong Da, don't you plan to join the Shi to serve me now?" ”

Sima Yi heard Cao Zhang's question, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Returning to Gongzi, I am really conscious of being a shallow learner, and I am reluctant to assist my brother in taking care of business, which is already beyond my strength, and it is really difficult to take on a big responsibility, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive me." ”

Cao Zhang understood that Sima Yi was looking for excuses to push himself, but in fact, the core reason was that he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the three sons of the Cao family, which actually had a lot to do with his forbearant character.

"In that case, Zhongda, you can help Boda take care of business first." Cao Zhang responded with a smile.

Cao Zhang didn't want to force Sima Yi too much, at least he refused to join the government now, which means that he would not help Cao Pi like the trend of history, which is already a very good result.

Otherwise, it would still be a very tricky thing for such a top strategist to be his enemy and help Cao Pi calculate himself every day.

Although he is unwilling to serve himself directly, Cao Zhang still wants to hear his opinion on the problems he is currently facing, after all, Xu Shu has not come back yet, and he doesn't even have anyone to discuss.

"Boda, Zhongda, this expedition to Yongliang, I encountered a fun thing, I want to hear your thoughts." Cao Zhang asked.

Sima Yi had already guessed what Cao Zhang was about to say, and he hesitated for a moment: "Son, please speak." ”

Cao Zhang cleared his throat and began to narrate: "I met three young children, and they had an argument over candy. In order to swallow the candy for himself, the eldest colludes with a child outside, trying to get the older child outside to push his second brother down the river and drown. ”

"Unexpectedly, his second brother was lucky, not only did he not fall into the river, but he realized that his eldest brother did it."

"In order to avoid his father's punishment, the eldest put all the blame on the children outside, insisting that he didn't know."

"At this time, the third child suggested to his father that the second child should investigate the whole matter, and as long as he found evidence that the boss framed him, he could let his father teach the boss a hard lesson."

When Cao Zhang said this, he paused deliberately, and then looked at Sima Yi with a scrutinizing gaze and began to ask: "But now that the child outside has fallen into the river and drowned, and the second child can't find evidence to prove that the boss harmed him, what do you say he should do?" ”

Cao Zhang deliberately weaved a story, put his relationship with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi into it, and then told the situation he was facing, asking for the opinions of the two.

Although Sima Lang had heard a little about Cao Pi's detention, he didn't know the details of the inside story, and now that Cao Zhangyi said that he had already understood the general situation, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and did not answer immediately.

Cao Zhang didn't rush him, just waited quietly, and first turned his gaze to Sima Lang: "Boda, you talk about it first." ”

Sima Lang didn't realize that Cao Zhang meant something else, and directly said his opinion: "If you can't find evidence, the matter can't be closed, otherwise the boss will definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on the second child in the future." If I were the second, I would have hung this matter all the time, as long as things don't come to fruition, all the boss's actions will be restricted, and the second will be safer. ”

Cao Zhang nodded slightly after listening, Sima Lang's response coincided with his current thoughts, and it seemed that procrastination was indeed the best choice at present.

After listening to Sima Lang's words, Sima Yi first frowned, then shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's not appropriate! ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly looked at Sima Yi and asked, "Zhongda, what do you think, but it's okay to say it." ”

"In my opinion, this matter will drag on for a while, and being a buffer is definitely the best choice at the moment. But it should not be delayed for too long. In fact, in my opinion, my father's handing over this matter to the second child is not only to make the second child angry, but also a test for him. Sima Yi expressed his opinion.

Cao Zhang listened to Sima Yi's words and was slightly stunned: "Test? ”

Sima Yi nodded solemnly and expressed his opinion: "Yes, a test of the second child's ability to do things is also a test of the second child's mind, how to deal with the relationship between brothers, and even the ability to balance the relationship with the outside world." So if you can't get a result as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the image of the second child in the eyes of his father. Maybe this is the purpose of the third child recommending the second child to his father to deal with this matter. ”

After listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Cao Zhang suddenly nodded again and again.

Sima Yi analyzed this, Cao Zhang really didn't expect it before, and his eloquent talk made Cao Zhang only feel empowered, and instantly saw another realm.

Sima Yi, who is worthy of being known as the "Tomb Tiger", has a unique vision for seeing problems, coupled with his forbearance character and good body, it is no wonder that he was able to survive the three generations of the Cao family in history, and finally laid the foundation of the Sima family in one fell swoop in the change of Gaopingling......

It seems that he will use him in the future, and he must guard against him, and he must not let the scenes of history repeat themselves.

Cao Zhang smiled lightly and said, "Zhongda, I believe that if the second child in the story listens to your opinions, he will also be very grateful to you." ”

Sima Yi saw Cao Zhang's expression change, and hurriedly lowered his head and added: "It's just nonsense in the next place, if there is something wrong, please don't be surprised!" ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, Zhong Da's insights are more far-reaching, which makes me suddenly enlightened." ”

"Childe is resourceful and far-sighted, but sometimes he is in a high position and is easy to be confused by the authorities." Sima Yi hurriedly helped Cao Zhang find the steps.

Cao Zhang looked at Sima Yi and nodded lightly, and had to admit that his sentence of the authorities was directly to the point.

I just thought too much about my own gains and losses, and I thought too much about calculating Cao Pi's revenge, so I lost my calm judgment and almost made a wrong decision.

Cao Pi is Cao Cao's eldest son after all, how can he be imprisoned all the time without results?

If he really dealt with it like this, Cao Cao knew that he was deliberately retaliating and would intervene in the matter.

In that case, not only will it fail to achieve the purpose of calculating Cao Pi, but it will also reduce its impression of himself, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Sima Lang listened to the conversation between the two, at first he was still at a loss, but when he heard it, he finally understood that the words of the two meant something else, and when he looked at his younger brother, he also showed admiration, admiring that his mind was indeed better than himself.

"I believe that the second child in the story will definitely keep a normal heart and come up with the most appropriate way to deal with this matter and get the best result." Sima Yi said to Cao Zhang with a slight compliment.

Cao Zhang looked at him and nodded slightly, his mind had already begun to rethink the solution, he had to come up with a result cautiously and relatively quickly......
