I have a role in the heavens

Zuo Ci was thoughtful. He had fought with Wei Zhongdao that day and had some understanding of Wei Zhongdao's character. He knew that he was a calm and gentle person on the surface. He seemed not to care about anything, but inside he was... An extremely proud person, Wei Zhongdao would never be willing to succumb to others. If Jiang Shang could establish the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years, he must surpass him.

"Wei Zhongdao will most likely turn the Wei Dynasty into a thousand-year dynasty! This is in line with his character!"

This statement was even more shocking and absurd, but for some reason, several Nanhua Taoists nodded in agreement, vaguely feeling that Wei Zhongdao thought so. This was in line with his character, unprecedented and unprecedented, unique and unparalleled in the world.

Luoyang City, Sima Mansion.

The Sima family is also a first-class family. Sima Lang and Sima Yi are both first-class wise men. Sima Yi was severely suppressed by Wei Zhongdao because he participated in the fight between Cao Ang and Cao Pi. Later, although he became much more cautious, he still could not get ahead.

On the contrary, Sima Lang was smart, calm and wise. Although he was slightly inferior to Sima Yi, he was admired by Wei Zhongdao. In addition, both of them were born in Hanoi and were fellow villagers. They had many supporters and were now in the Ministry of Rites. A minister, a high official in the imperial court, deeply trusted by Cao Cao.

Today, Sima Lang, the head of the Sima family, was waiting outside the gate of the mansion in person. He was very respectful. Looking at a figure slowly walking in the distance, he trotted forward quickly, walked to the person, bowed and said loudly.

"I've met Prime Minister Wei!"

Wei Zhongdao is now a bachelor of the cabinet and a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Even when Prince Cao Ang sees him, he must behave like a student. His status and prestige are extremely high.

In three years, Wei Zhongdao has not changed much. He still looks like he is in his early thirties. He is three years older than Sima Lang, but when they stand together, Sima Lang is much older than Wei Zhongdao. Like people of the same generation.

"No need to be polite, Boda!"

Sima Lang then stood up and introduced Wei Zhongdao into the mansion with great respect. The two sat down in the study, chatted, exchanged pleasantries, and even exchanged government affairs.

Wei Zhongdao held the tea cup in his hand and blew gently, watching the green tea leaves rippling on the water like a boat. He lowered his head and took a sip. It was full of aroma and slightly sweet.

Wei Zhongdao looked at the layout of the study, which was very particular. Whether it was the huanghuali tables and chairs, the Hui ink brush, the Langhao brush, the Duan inkstone, and the jade paperweight, they were all valuable. The entire layout was also carefully designed, and the entire study had a very aura. Harmony makes people feel comfortable.

Wei Zhongdao was not surprised by this. The Sima family has a profound foundation and a long inheritance. There are many talents in the family. The eight Sima Lang brothers are all extraordinary and are known as "Sima Bada".

Wei Zhongdao put down the tea cup in his hand, his brows became more serious, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Sima Lang, more seriously.

"Boda, do you know what I am here for?"

Sima Lang shook his head when he heard this. He really didn't know why Wei Zhongdao came. You must know that Wei Zhongdao rarely visited other people's houses. Even though they were both fellow Hanoi residents, this was their first time visiting Sima's house.

"I don't know, my subordinate, why should I ask the Prime Minister to clarify my doubts?"

Sima Lang was a little puzzled. He raised his head and stared at Wei Zhongdao, with a more solemn look on his face. He was also a wise man, and his thoughts turned around. Wei Zhongdao must have a purpose in coming here, not a temporary intention.

Wei Zhongdao had a very good impression of Sima Lang. He was an open-minded and upright man who knew how to adapt and was not rigid. Looking at Sima Lang's raised brows, he waved his hand and smiled.

"Boda, there's no need to be so nervous! Just relax!"

Sima Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Although his eyebrows relaxed a little, they were still not fully opened. He knew that if it was not a big deal, there was no need for Wei Zhongdao to come here, which made him feel a little uneasy. Could it be that Is there something wrong that the Sima family did that even the chief minister of the dynasty couldn't stand, so why did he come here to tell it?

Wei Zhongdao knew Sima Lang's character. Seeing that he still had a heavy expression, he knew that he could not persuade him. Moreover, Sima Lang's worries were justified. He came today to let the Sima family make a choice. He sighed and thought of The figure who looked at the wolf as a hawk shook his head helplessly and said.

"Two years ago, I proposed legal reforms. Some aristocratic families opposed it and even wanted to launch a rebellion, but His Majesty suppressed it. You also know this!"

Sima Lang nodded, and his heart became even heavier. The aristocratic family opposed the reform. There had been quite a disturbance in the past two years. His Majesty went on a killing spree. Countless aristocratic families had their heads on the ground and their blood flowed into rivers. The Prime Minister suddenly mentioned this matter. , I’m afraid it’s something serious.

"Did you know that someone from Sima's family was also involved?"

Wei Zhongdao looked solemn and looked at Sima Lang with stern eyes. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Sima Lang jumped so hard that he could no longer hold the tea cup in his hand and fell directly to the ground.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the teacup shattered, and brittle flakes flew out, leaving tea all over the floor. A few green tea leaves were dotted among it, and it looked like an ink painting, very charming.

Sima Lang stood up suddenly, bent down and bowed, his face turned pale with fright, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.

"Prime Minister Wei, this official has absolutely no involvement in this matter!"

Wei Zhongdao did not help Sima Lang, and his expression became colder. His cold eyes were like the north wind in winter, falling on Sima Lang, making him feel a biting chill, and his expression became more and more frightened.

"I didn't say Boda you were involved, otherwise you wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Minister of Etiquette!"

"Your Majesty is not a merciful person. If you had participated, your head would have been moved!"

Sima Lang trembled when he heard this. No one in the government or the public was afraid of Cao Cao's ruthlessness. Perhaps it would be different only when facing the chief minister of the cabinet in front of him.

Wei Zhongdao picked up the tea cup again and sipped the tea slowly and slowly. Under Sima Lang's anxious and frightened gaze, he said nothing. The whole study fell into a dull atmosphere, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn, making Sima Lang a little helpless. Panting, my heart tightened, I didn't know who in the Sima family was involved in the rebellion. If I didn't respond carefully today, the Sima family inheritance would be cut off and become history.

Sima Lang had no doubt about Cao Cao's murderousness and courage. Even if his father Sima Fang had recommended Cao Cao back then, Cao Cao would never hesitate to attack the Sima family and kill them all.

Sima Lang's body was shaky, and drops of cold sweat fell to the ground, forming a water stain on the ground. His face was pale, but he did not dare to raise his head, let alone make a sound. He just hunched over and waited for Wei Zhongdao of opening.
