Just as Bai Ren was thinking about how to help Cao Rui solve and get rid of Sima Yi, who was now a serious problem for him, suddenly there was a guard outside.
He came to the palace with a heavy expression.
He looked at Cao Rui who was sitting on the main seat and said in a tone of voice.
Somewhat respectfully, he said to Cao Rui: "Your Majesty, the current servant Sima Yi is waiting outside the palace."
"What did you just say that Sima Yi is back?"
When Cao Rui heard what his guards said, his face suddenly became a little surprised, then he widened his eyes and asked his guards in a somewhat unbelievable tone. .
When Bai Ren, who was standing aside, heard such words, his expression suddenly became serious.
He never expected that Sima Yi would dare to come back now.
"The servant is standing naked outside the main hall now, with many thorns on his back."
The guard looked at Cao Rui in front of him with a surprised look on his face, and said to Cao Rui in an excited tone.
After hearing what the guard in front of him said, Bai Ren's face suddenly became twitching.
He didn't expect that Sima Yi would imitate Lian Po and run outside the hall to plead guilty.
"Why did Sima Yi do this?
Bring him in quickly."
When Cao Rui heard that Sima Yi had come back to plead guilty, his expression suddenly became a little surprised, and he quickly ordered his guards with a heavy tone, and hurriedly brought Sima Yi with him.
Come in.
Soon, under the leadership of the guards, Master Sima helped Sima Yi, who was wearing a thorn stick, and walked to the main hall with a heavy expression.
At this time, Cao Rui, who was sitting on the main seat of the main hall, looked at the thorn sticks with a heavy expression.
Sima Yi frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Bai Renze looked at Sima Yi carrying the thorn sticks with a calm face, but he admired Sima Yi in his heart.
Nowadays, Sima Yi is one of the top figures in Cao Wei today, and he actually dares to go to the thorns to plead guilty openly, shirtless, and carrying thorn sticks on his back.
On the surface, he said that he was going to deal with the Soochow army in the Huainan area, but he secretly came back to plead guilty to the thorn bushes.
"Sima Yi, after you come back, what will happen to the defense line in Huainan?
If the Soochow army comes here and it is not Huainan, it will fall into the hands of the Soochow army."
Bai Ren squinted his eyes at this time, looking a little heavy.
He asked Sima Yi with a hoarse tone while carrying a thorn stick on his back.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to drag Sima Yi, his biggest enemy in the future, into the abyss of nine feet, so that he would never be able to stand up again.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant.
I have left my troops and horses in Huainan.
With Guanqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan leading the troops, we can naturally prevent the Soochow army from attacking."
Sima Yi looked at it with a somewhat calm expression.
Bai Ren looked at him with cold eyes, and then felt the pain of the thorns on his back piercing his skin.
He took a breath of cold air and answered Bai Ren in front of him in a calm tone.
When Cao Rui heard that there were still soldiers guarding the land of Huainan, he was relieved for a moment, and then looked at Sima Yi in front of him calmly.
He saw Sima Yi carrying a thorn stick, and then he knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent.
I originally wanted to summon soldiers from all over the country to surround the Soochow army and destroy them all together, but I didn't expect to harm Da Sima.
Now that I am guilty, I have come to apologize."
Sima Yi used his own words at this time He hit his head on the floor above the hall, and then said in a low tone to Cao Rui, who was sitting on the main seat.
Master Sima saw his father Sima Yi also kneeling on the ground, and quickly followed his father Sima Yi to the ground and kowtowed to confess his crime.
Cao Rui looked at Sima Yi and his son who were kowtowing and confessing in front of him.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Ren beside him.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Bai Ren in front of him in a calm tone. : "How does the captain think Sima Yi should be punished?"
After hearing what Cao Rui said, Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui and found that there was not much killing intent in the other person's eyes.
Moreover, as the emperor, Cao Rui asked himself how to punish Sima Yi, not to kill him.

Kill Sima Yi.
"Your Majesty, I think Sima Yi is now guilty of delaying the war.
Your Majesty should use the best words to punish Sima Yi."
Bai Ren did not dare to take advantage of this moment to encourage Cao Rui to kill Sima Yi.
After all, Bai Ren was also feared by Cao Rui as the emperor.
Maybe I encouraged him to kill Sima Yi for his own selfish reasons now, and maybe he will kill him for his own selfish reasons in the future.
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Rui looked at the other party with a hint of doubt, then turned his head silently, looked at Sima Yi and his son who had their heads knocked to the ground, lowered his head slightly, and hesitated for a moment.
"Sima Yi, now you delayed the fight and caused the death of Grand Sima.
Now I demoted you to the post of Nanyang Prefect, and now all three years of salary will be subsidized to Grand Sima's family.
I wonder if you are convinced?"
Cao Rui looked at him calmly at this time Looking at Sima Yi who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and said to Sima Yi in a heavy tone.
After hearing what Cao Rui said in front of him, Sima Yi silently raised his head, and then looked at Bai Ren aside from the corner of his eyes.
He looked at the other person's face calmly, as if he didn't want to say anything, so his tone was full of He gratefully said to Cao Rui, who was sitting on the throne: "I thank your Majesty for your grace, and I accept your guilt."
After listening to Cao Rui's words, Bai Ren thought for a moment and couldn't help but sigh, the benefits of doing this are that the public can explain to Cao Xiu's family and the people of the world, and the private can save Sima Yi's life.
Don't underestimate this person who was demoted to Nanyang Prefect.
After all, Nanyang is a big city.
I think back then, when the world was not in chaos, Nanyang was the fourth largest city after Chang'an, Luoyang and Yecheng.
I think Yuan Shu still wanted to Established a base here, and finally failed to attack Cao Cao before arriving in Huainan.
Now it is very good to demote Sima Yi to Nanyang Prefect.
After all, Sima Yi is now the minister of Tuogu.
Even if he is demoted, he should not be demoted to a small place.
Now that the Cao family has lost Cao Xiu, its strength is not as good as before, so it is necessary to demote one person from the family to maintain balance, and Sima Yi is the best candidate.
And if one of the Tuogu ministers becomes bigger later, Sima Yi can also be transferred from Nanyang to the central government to maintain balance at that time.
Nowadays, as the emperor of Cao Wei, Cao Rui has mastered the art of emperor very well.
Even Bai Ren has to be careful to avoid being plotted by this guy.
"Let's all disperse.
I will personally hold the funeral for Great Sima then."
Cao Rui saw that the matter had almost been resolved, so he frowned slightly, looking at Sima Yi and Bai Ren in front of him, his tone was a little calm.
's command.
Bai Ren and Sima Yi listened to Cao Rui's words, silently saluted the emperor who was now sitting in his seat, and then silently exited the hall.
"Congratulations to you, Zifu."
At this time, Sima Yi had already walked out of the hall.
Sima Yi took off the thorn sticks on his back, looked at Bai Ren who was walking aside with a calm look, and said in a calm tone.
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Bai Ren looked at Sima Yi's face curiously, and found that Sima Yi's eyes were looking at him like bottomless spring water.
He suddenly asked Sima Yi in a calm tone: "Zhongda, you What are you congratulating me for?
Now that you have left the center of the imperial court, this is the misfortune of my country, the Wei Dynasty."
"Bai Zifu, we know the relationship between the two of us very well.
You don't have to deal with me like this.
With the current situation in the world, both of you and I can see that you are the only one who is really capable in the court.
You can Try your best to use your abilities."
After hearing Bai Ren's words, Sima Yi suddenly showed a calm smile, then looked at Bai Ren indifferently and said in a soft tone.
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Bai Ren looked at Sima's face as if he was sinking into the water, and suddenly there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Liu Taiwei, you are the only one in the imperial court now.
You must assist His Majesty well, and don't let His Majesty make things difficult for you."
Sima Yi showed a proud smile, and then looked at his son Sima beside him.

The teacher left here with his son with a calm expression.
"Sima Yi, what are you playing at?"
Bai Ren said to himself in a heavy tone as he watched Master Sima help Sima Yi get into the carriage and leave the palace far away, with a hint of fear in his eyes
