Chapter 997: Sima Yi Rises


Above the court hall, the positions of the Taiwei and Taifu that Bai Ren originally stood are now empty.

The young emperor Cao Fang is sitting on the dragon chair with a heavy expression.

Cao Shuang stood up from his seat at this time, looked at Cao Fang sitting on the dragon throne, hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Fang in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter, General?"

Cao Fangzheng was young now, and he still valued Minister Tuogu who was left behind by his father.

At this time, he looked at Cao Shuang who came out and said to Cao Shuang with a somewhat respectful tone.

"Now the Great Sima has served our Wei Dynasty for a long time, and his merits are high and virtuous, so he can be named a Taiwei."

Cao Shuang silently looked at Sima Yi in the distance, who was almost full of white hair, and said in a calm tone. .

After hearing Cao Shuang's words, Sima Yi silently raised his head, glanced at Cao Shuang, and then slowly lowered his head without expressing any unnecessary expression.

Cao Fang saw that Sima Yi had no objection, hesitated for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "In that case, I will make Sima Yi the Grand Tutor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Sima Yi said calmly when he heard Cao Fang's words of reward, without much change in his expression.

The court meeting ended, and Sima Yi slowly left the court, while Cao Shuang summoned his confidants He Yan, Li Sheng, Bi Gui and others to his mansion to discuss important matters.

Now since Bai Ren's death, Cao Shuang's goal is to kill Sima Yi and become the only powerful minister in the court.

For this reason, he made several of his younger brothers the central leaders of the entire imperial city, and his closest confidants held important official positions such as Shangshu and Sili Xiaowei.

It can be said that Cao Shuang now relies on his own connections to basically hold important official positions in his hands, and with the persuasion of his confidants, he recommends Sima Yi as Taifu, thus seizing Sima Yi's military power and transferring the military power to Belongs to Cao Shuang.

In Sima Yi's mansion, Sima Yi sat in his seat with a somewhat calm expression, while his two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, stood on both sides with somewhat angry and heavy expressions.

Since Bai Ren died, Cao Shuang took this opportunity to suppress them.

The Sima family has now appointed his father Sima Yi as Taifu, which is obviously taking away his father's rights.

Now his two brothers also hold idle positions.

It can be said that Cao Shuang is doing his best to suppress the Sima family.

"Father, this Cao Shuang is really bullying people.

Bai Zifu didn't dare to do this at first, but he did it."

Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi in front of him with a heavy expression at this time, and said to Sima Yi in a somewhat angry tone.

When Sima Yi heard what Sima Zhao said, he looked at Ling Yi's son.

Master Sima noticed that Master Sima also looked serious, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Bai Zifu, of course he doesn't dare to go against our Sima family directly, and Cao Shuang is different.

The one behind him is the Cao family.

But now that Bai Zifu has passed away, although Cao Shuang has a big job now, it is nothing to worry about.

One day, I will It will definitely make him regret it."

Sima Yi looked at the two sons in front of him calmly, a sneer appeared in the corner of his mouth, and he said in a calm tone.

"Father, do you have a way to deal with Cao Shuang?"

At this time, Master Sima looked at the sneer on his father's face and asked his father in a confused tone.

Sima Yi gently waved his hand, motioning his two sons to come over to him, and then said to his two sons in a low voice.

After listening to Sima Yi's words, Sima Master and Sima Zhao finally nodded silently and left Sima Yi's room.

Not long after, news came from Luoyang City that Taifu Sima Yi was seriously ill and bedridden.

When Cao Shuang received such news, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he quickly summoned his confidants to discuss the matter.

"Now Sima Yi is seriously ill in bed.

I don't know if it's true or not."

Cao Shuang looked at his confidants with a somewhat excited expression at this time and said in a somewhat doubtful tone.

"Don't worry, General.

I'll just go and investigate."

Li Sheng looked at Cao Shuang's worried look and said to Cao Shuang calmly.

Cao Shuang nodded, and Li Sheng immediately set off to Sima Yi's mansion, preparing to check on Sima Yi's true identity.

Sima Yi was in the mansion at this time, thinking about how to get rid of the Cao Shuang clan.

When his son said that Li Sheng came to visit him, he quickly lay on the bed and pretended to be sick, and then asked his son to bring him to see him.

Li Sheng walked into the mansion silently at this time.

Looking at Sima Yi's haggard face and disheveled clothes, he suddenly had doubts in his eyes.

Is Sima Yi really sick or fake?

"Master, Master!"

Li Sheng came to Sima Yi's bedside and shouted to Sima Yi on the bed in a heavy tone.

"Who is it?"

Sima Yi tilted his head with some difficulty, then looked at Li Sheng weakly with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Master, don't you remember me?"

Li Sheng looked at Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi calmly.

"It turns out to be Li Sheng.

I'm old and blind now.

Don't blame me."

Sima Yi rubbed his eyes hard at this time and said in a weak tone.

"Tai Tuo, please take good care of yourself.

I'll take my leave first."

Li Sheng looked at Sima like this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he said in a calm tone.

"Ahem!"

Sima Yi saw Li Sheng leaving and coughed violently.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao on the side saw this and quickly supported their father and patted their father's back gently.

When Li Sheng saw this situation, a sneer suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he silently left Sima Yi's mansion and went to report the matter to Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang knew that Sima Yi was terminally ill, and a proud smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he said in a crazy tone: "If this old guy dies, then I will have nothing to worry about."

So Cao Shuang unscrupulously recruited his followers and placed them in important official positions.

Suddenly, the entire court was filled with smoke, and many officials were simply too angry to speak out about this situation.

Almost a year after Cao Rui's death, Cao Shuang asked Emperor Cao Fang to go to Gaoping Mausoleum to worship the late emperor.

Cao Shuang's close friends all went out with the emperor to worship the late emperor.

However, Sima Yi was unwell and could not leave the city, so he stayed in Luo.

In Yangcheng.

Cao Shuang left Luoyang with his people.

After learning about this, Master Sima immediately returned to his mansion and told his father with a somewhat excited expression.

When Sima Yi heard the news, he quickly got up from his bed and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Now that Cao Shuang has left Luoyang with His Majesty, it is a good time for us to fight back."

Sima Yi quickly asked his eldest son, Sima Shi, to visit Situ Gaorou.

Situ Gaorou was Sima Yi's good friend, and asked him to take control of Luoyang's military camp in Cao Shuang by taking advantage of Sikong's official position to take advantage of General Yue's affairs.

Let the Taipu King observe the leadership of the army and control the entire city gate to prevent Cao Shuang from suddenly returning to Luoyang with his men.

Sima Yi and his good friend Jiang Ji went to the palace to visit the Queen Mother in person, hoping that the Queen Mother would issue an order to kill Cao Shuang and other rebellious officials and traitors.

Queen Mother Guo watched Sima Yi come to her palace with a heavy look on her face, as if she had already understood it.

She watched Sima Yi respectfully request her order, and Queen Mother Guo issued the order herself without any hesitation.

Sima Yi received the Queen Mother's order and prepared to lead his soldiers to the arsenal to take out weapons, and then temporarily control Cao Shuang's family.

"Master, why are you bringing so many people to the arsenal?

What do you want to do?"

At this time, Sima Yi came to the arsenal, but was stopped by Guang Luxun Bai Ji who was guarding the palace.

Looking at Sima Yi's face, he looked gloomy.

Bai Ji asked with a somewhat confused tone.

After Bai Ren's death, although the Bai family's power has been greatly reduced, they still hold important positions in the court, and even Cao Shuang does not dare to touch them easily.

"Now I am carrying out the order of the Queen Mother to punish the thief.

I hope that Luxun will not care about the past grudges.

If the thief is successful, I will give you a big thank you later."

Sima Yi looked at Bai Ji in front of him with a hint of indifference in his eyes. , Bai Ren is gone, and the Bai family has nothing to worry about.

At this time, in order to deal with Cao Shuang, the Bai family must be pulled into his chariot.

"Come here, let me go."

Bai Ji showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Sima Yi staring at him with a serious face, he said to the soldiers behind him in a calm tone.

"Thank you," Sima Yi said to Bai Ji in a calm tone, seeing that the other party did not embarrass him.

"Grand Tutor, if you really get rid of Cao Shuang, don't forget our Bai family."

Bai Ji looked at Sima Yi with a heavy face and ordered his soldiers to go to the arsenal to seize the equipment, and said to Sima Yi calmly.

"You can rest assured.

Our Sima family has clear grievances.

Now that you are helping me, I will definitely not forget it."

Sima Yi glanced at Bai Ji and said with a heavy tone
