The sergeant who came to report the news hurriedly bowed his hand to Sima Yi and said: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Sima, the little one is idle in the mansion this time, so he walks around, but he doesn't want to meet a city gate sergeant who is going to His Majesty's mansion with a secret letter to report.At first, the sergeant was stopped by the guards in His Majesty's palace, but the sergeant insisted that this letter was an urgent military situation and must be handed over to His Majesty in person, and not handed over to anyone else. ”Later, the guards in His Majesty's palace were in a dilemma, so they went in to report to General Xu Chu, and General Xu Chu personally came out to take over the secret letter and handed it to His Majesty.After His Majesty finished reading it, it happened that Xu Huang and his son came together, and His Majesty met Xu Huang alone, and the two had been talking secretly for a long time before it ended.After the little one saw that Xu Huang left, the look on his face was completely different from before he came, and he looked particularly panicked, it must have been His Majesty who said something important to him, and the little one felt that the situation was urgent, so he specially came to report to Lord Sima. ”After hearing the other party's words, Sima Yi was not surprised, but his face was calm, and asked: "Oh, there is such a thing, can you hear the conversation between Cao Pi and Xu Huang only to hear the sergeant speak again: "Please Lord Sima forgive me, because there are General Xu Chu and the guards outside the door, so it is inconvenient for the small one to get so close, but I only vaguely heard one or two words."
It seems to say that the letter came from the Zhao army, or the crown prince of Zhao State.And what else did His Majesty say, if he wanted to give up the war and surrender to Zhao Guo, it was really a special situation at that time, and the little one couldn't hear it clearly.However, if you can see the letter, you will know everything. ”This time, after hearing the other party's words, Sima Yi was stunned.Although the other party did not say it clearly, Sima Yi had already heard a rough idea, and what Sima Yi never expected was that the people of Zhao Jun would actually write a letter of surrender to Cao Pi.If Cao Pi really made up his mind to surrender to Zhao Guo this time, then all the plans he had laid out over the years would be in vain.This is definitely not what Sima Yi wants to see, although he has a high status in the Wei State, but if he follows Cao Pi to join the Zhao State, I am afraid that with the treachery and methods of those people in the Zhao State, he will have nowhere to show it.After all, for Sima Yi, Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Zhao Yu are completely different, Zhao Yu was able to start from scratch at a young age and win his current status.If Sima Yi is to be by Zhao Yu's side, I am afraid that with Sima Yi's potential ambition, he will not be able to appear in front of Zhao Yu at all, especially with Zhao Yu's mind, he can detect it in one fell swoop.When the time comes, he will be like a lamb on the chopping block to be slaughtered.Something must be done to change this situation, but now Cao Pi seems to have made up his mind.At this moment, if he wants to turn things around, with his current strength and power, I am afraid that he will not be able to win at all.So right now, Sima Yi has to be ruthless and do the most ferocious thing he has ever done.Immediately, Sima Yi said to the other party without hesitation: "Go back, don't let them find out your identity for the time being, and when Cao Pi is away, remember to find out the letter and hand it over to me immediately." ”After receiving Sima Yi's order, the other party bowed to Sima Yi, then retreated, and returned to Cao Pi's mansion to continue to play his role.And after he left, Sima Yi asked his two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, to be called.As soon as the two saw Sima Yi, they showed a trace of awe and said, "The child has seen his father." ”Seeing the two of them, Sima Yi said expressionlessly: "You two get up, I have something important this time, and I need the two of you to help me."
However, as I speak, you two just need to listen carefully and don't say much. ”After Sima Yi finished speaking, he saw the two nodding solemnly, and immediately spoke: "This time I have intercepted a trace of information, Your Majesty wants to give up resistance to the Zhao army, and the whole country will surrender.In this way, the Wei State will be completely destroyed, and we will also become slaves of the State of Zhao and prisoners of the State of Zhao.The only way to stop this at the moment is to set up a new emperor, otherwise, if I miss the opportunity, I will regret it. ”"After the two of you go down, immediately gather all the people of my Sima family and wait for action.In addition, the Zhao army was approaching the city, and the garrison in the army was insufficient, so all the available troops in the city were transferred, and even the guards of the city government had to send half of their men and horses to participate in the battle.Remember this matter, you must report to Your Majesty in advance, and as long as you have your Majesty's authorization, you will transfer people from the guards of Your Majesty's palace. ”"In addition, send people to keep a strict watch on the crown prince Cao Rui, once His Majesty dies, the prince will be imprisoned immediately, and no one will be allowed to get close to the prince.As long as the time comes, we will support the crown prince Cao Rui to ascend the throne and inherit the imperial business. ”After listening to Sima Yi's words, Sima Zhao finally couldn't bear it, and asked Sima Yi: "Father, that Cao Rui is just a hairy boy, this time it is rare to have such an opportunity, why didn't my father take the opportunity to stand up, overthrow the Cao Wei regime, take power by himself, and establish a new country as the emperor" As soon as Sima Zhao's words came out, Sima Shi on the side was greatly surprised, and even Sima Yi looked at the other party tightly and was silent.After a while, Sima Yi said to him: "Don't mention this kind of thing in the future."
Establishing a new country to register the emperor is by no means as simple as you think, and now although my Sima family is mostly involved in the Wei State, it does not have enough military power, and there are still some old people who obey the Cao clan.These people have repeatedly expressed in public that they have drawn a clear line with our Sima family, not to mention that we are in the land of Shu this time, and we have the courage to stand up and establish a new imperial industry, and I am afraid that it will also be a threat to Shu at that time. ”"When the time comes, we won't wait for those people who are close to the Cao Wei clan to do something to us, and those people from Shu will take the lead in attacking us.At this moment, our Majesty should calm down first, play every move well, and take every step carefully, and there must be no mistakes.Cao Rui doesn't need Cao Pi, Cao Pi seems to be honest, but his heart is cunning, and even I have been deceived by him many times. ”And Cao Rui is young, but he is good at poetry and songs, and he is still immature for other intrigues.There are many Cao clan and Xiahou generals here, we can only support him Cao Rui, as long as we can grasp Cao Rui as a puppet, it will not be difficult to take charge of the entire regime at that time.Sima Zhao accepted Sima Yi's lesson very humbly, but there was still one thing that he was entangled in his heart.I only heard Sima Zhao speak: "Father, everything else is a trivial matter this time, and the child knows it."
But there is another very important thing, Your Majesty is in good health, and there is no major problem, how should we cause His Majesty's death, is it difficult for us to kill it ourselves" Sima Yi immediately reprimanded him angrily: "Nonsense, of course we can't reach out to do this, there is no impermeable wall for everything."
If this matter is discovered, then our status and reputation will not be guaranteed, and for this matter, the father has his own way, and you two only need to do your part. ”Afterwards, Sima Yi recruited two people, one of whom was lurking in Cao Pi's mansion, and the other was a new face.Sima Yi summoned the two of them, not at the same time, but one by one, first of all, the new face, only to see Sima Yi said to him: "If you go to General Xu Huang's camp, you will say that Your Majesty has something important to summon him, and order him to go alone immediately and not bring others, so as to prevent the incident from leaking." ”After the man left, Sima Yi asked the guy who was in charge of monitoring Cao Pi's movements to call him and said, "According to the way Xu Chu guarded His Majesty in the past, Xu Huang must be confirmed by Xu Chu when he comes to meet him this time.And you do it at this time, the moment Xu Huang enters the room, give Cao Pi " After speaking, Sima Yi made a vicious look, making the other party tremble a little.After listening to Sima Yi's secret order, the man was immediately frightened and at a loss: "Lord Sima Sima, that person is Your Majesty, and the little one can't do it." ”Looking at the other party's sudden retreat, Sima Yi couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Hmph, what's the use of raising you a waste, you dare to call yourself a killer, and you have killed people."
If I hadn't rescued you from death row, I'm afraid that the crimes you committed would have been dismembered by the five horses. ”After speaking, Sima Yi glanced at him again and said: "As long as you complete this task this time, I can set up a new emperor, and then you will be the merit of supporting the establishment, and it will not be difficult for me to pull you in the palace and promote you as a general or something."
Could it be that you want to be sneaky like this all your life, doing unsightly things all day long, even if you don't think about it, you have to think about your wife and children at home, as far as I know, your wife seems to be about to give birth. ”Listening to Sima Yi's half-seductive and half-threatening words, the person who claimed to be the killer was extremely hesitant in his heart.If you agree to do it, the consequences are unimaginable, and you may be implicated at any time, but if you don't do it, you will hear the other party's words, and you will always know the movements of your family, and you have reason to believe that as long as you dare to refuse, the next moment will be the death of your wife and children.At the moment, he turned his heart sideways, simply didn't do anything, and said to Sima Yi is hand: "The little one is grateful to the adults for saving their lives that day, and the little ones are willing to help the adults complete the great cause, and the small ones will follow this mission." ”Seeing the other party's transformation, Sima Yi couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, revealing an imperceptible smile and said, "You are not helping me complete the great cause, you are working hard for your future, for your glory and wealth."
As long as this is done, I will crown you as the general of the capital in front of the new majesty, which is the official position of a six-rank military general, and your family will be safe and sound, and you can live in a luxurious mansion, and you will never be able to enjoy the glory and wealth from now on. ”:
