The autumn wind bleakly swept the fallen leaves, and the sky and the earth began to become a little hazy. At this time, Sima Yi stood on the city with a heavy complexion, looking at the filial piety in the Shuhan military camp in the distance, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. Looking into the distance.

"I'm reporting to the governor, we've got the news that Zhuge Liang is dead now, and it's a good time for us to send troops to attack the Shu Han barracks." Guo Zhun looked at Sima Yi in front of him with a serious expression, and his tone was a bit serious. Said to Sima Yi excitedly.

Hearing these words, Sima Yi lightly covered his head with his hand and began to think.At this time, he silently looked at the various generals under him who were eager to try, and said in a calm tone: "Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and now he can't stop attacking our Chang'an for half a month, and now he suddenly died suddenly. I think there is a fraud in it, so I should be careful Be cautious."

The generals around heard what Sima Yi said, their faces were a little heavy, they thought for a while, and then nodded, after all, Zhuge Liang will always be cunning in their hearts.

In the Shuhan military camp, Yang Yi, who received Zhuge Liang's order, secretly summoned Wei Yan to discuss important issues in his own army. Wei Yan was unprepared, and went to discuss important issues with others, and was finally ambushed by the knife and axe in Yang Yi's military tent. killed by.

Yang Yi silently looked at the swordsman, holding the head of the general Wei Yan in his hand, and sighed helplessly.Although he had conflicts with this guy in the army, he didn't want to kill Wei Yan.

"Master Wen, don't blame me, this is the prime minister's order." Looking at the other party's head, Yang Yi showed a wry smile helplessly, and then said with some emotion in her tone.

When the Shu Han army was in the dead of night, under the arrangement of Wang Ping and Jiang Wei, they quietly left Wuzhangyuan, and slowly headed towards the Jiange with the Shu Han army and Zhuge Liang's body.

But Sima Yi got the news that the Shu Han army left in the middle of the night in Chang'an City, and suddenly realized that he had delayed the battle opportunity, so he hurriedly took his army to the Shu Han's barracks.

Seeing the empty Shuhan barracks and seeing the generals around him staring at him, Sima Yi was a little embarrassed. He was worried that this was Zhuge Liang's plan, so he didn't send troops to attack the Shuhan barracks. The army has long since run away.

"This Zhuge Liang is really scheming. I dare not send troops if I count it. This Zhuge Liang is indeed the number one genius in the world." Sima Yi silently looked at the sky at this time, then stroked his beard at a 45° angle, Said to the generals under him with some emotion in his tone.

At this time, the surrounding generals of Cao Wei heard what Sima Yi said, and suddenly realized that it wasn't that they were too weak, but that Zhuge Liang was really too scheming, and he deserved to be the number one genius in the world.

So, in the end, Sima Yi could only silently pack up the army and return to old Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang's body was brought to Chengdu. Liu Chan hated and respected Zhuge Liang, and the people in Xichuan basically suffered from Zhuge Liang's kindness, so the people in Xichuan all set up Zhuge Liang's longevity cards in their homes.When Liu Chan got the news, he immediately looked upset, and ordered the people of Xichuan not to give Zhuge Liang a longevity card, and quickly buried Zhuge Liang's body in Dingjun Mountain, and pursued Zhuge Liang as Zhongwuhou.

Liu Chan listened to Zhuge Liang's last wish in Li Fu's mouth and thought about it for a while, worried that there would be a whole process of monopolizing power like Zhuge Liang, so he abolished the position of prime minister, divided the position of prime minister into two, and set up the general and the general respectively. Sima.

According to Zhuge Liang's last wish, Liu Chan canonized Jiang Wan as a general and Fei Yi as a great Sima.

And since Zhuge Liang passed away, the world has completely quieted down. Cao Wei in the north and Xishu and Dongwu in the south also began to recuperate. In the three or four years after Zhuge Liang's death, the whole world has settled down, and there has been no war.

Cao Wei's Bai Ren took the lead. In order to pacify Eastern Wu and Western Shu in one fell swoop, he deliberately let his country cultivate and thrive.

This is related to the two aspects of Dongwu and Xishu. Dongwu is currently fighting internally. How can it have time to deal with Cao Wei in the north? Now Sun Quan is fighting with his civil and military officials. In the end, he directly forced the prime minister of Dongwu, Lu Xun. Sun Quan's two sons, Sun He and Sun Ba, were also fighting, fighting endlessly for the crown prince.

On the side of Western Shu, Zhuge Liang has spent most of the resources of the Kingdom of Shu by fighting in the south and north all the year round, while Jiang Wan and Fei Yi advocated recuperation, and they directly suppressed the attack proposed by Jiang Wei and other generals. The imperial edict brought the Shu Han temporarily ushered in a climax of recuperation and development.

The time passed slowly, and Bai Ren began to move around. If the script was followed, it should be the scene of Cao Rui's death by now.

On the seventh day of March, Bai Ren quietly arrived at the palace and handed Cao Rui a pill. Bai Ren silently looked at Cao Rui's nervous expression, and said in a calm tone.

"The purpose of this pill is to fake death. You will come back to life in seven days. Now I need you to die, and then re-establish the emperor. At that time, your dying edict can be written like this..." Bai Ren held his hand silently at this moment. Looking at the panicked Cao Rui in front of him with the pill in his hand, he said in a soft tone.

"I see!" Cao Rui thought for a while, then took the pill silently, and said in a heavy tone.

Bai Ren watched the other party take the pill, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. There are indeed pills for feigning death in this world, and he has it in his hand. He thought that Xun Chen deliberately took it out in order to help Xun Yu die in front of Cao Cao. This pill, now this pill has fallen into the hands of Bai Ren, and it is also a secret weapon against Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, thinking that if he dies, the two of them will probably fight.

As for the pill in Cao Rui's hand, of course it is not a fake death pill, but a deadly chronic poison. As long as you take it, you will die within two days. Bai Ren is not a cruel person, but Cao Rui knows too much now Besides, people are fickle animals, Bai Ren can't rest assured, the only way to hide the secret is by dying.

On the second day, Cao Rui died in the palace under the eyes of the eunuch, and left behind an edict before his death, appointing the eight-year-old prince Cao Fang as the new emperor of Wei, and enshrining the minister Chen Qun, Taiwei and Taifu Bairen, Dawei Sima Sima Yi and General Cao Shuang are the ministers of Tuogu, assisting the emperor in handling the government affairs.

And Cao Rui was buried together in the tomb of Empress Sun's family. Cao Rui reigned for 11 years and was posthumously named Emperor Ming.

Since the little emperor Cao Fang became the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, the four Tuogu ministers under him, on the surface, were a peaceful assistant, handling the government affairs of the court together with the current little emperor, but in fact they were already at odds with each other below.

Sima Yi and Chen Qun belonged to a large family, so they seemed to be walking together very harmoniously, but Chen Qun's son, Chen Tai, was Bai Ren's apprentice, and Chen Qun had no malice towards Bai Ren, while Cao Shuang and One of Chen Qun belongs to the military general, and the other belongs to the civil servant, and there is not much conflict between the two.

The main conflicts centered on Cao Shuang, Sima Yi, and Bai Ren. The identities of the three belonged to generals, and they all held military power. Of course, the friction between the three was also very large.

Cao Shuang respected these veterans at first, but found that these veterans were not like himself. In the end, he found that these three people had shadows of aristocratic families, and finally had a gap with Bai Ren Sima Yi.

Since Bai Ren and Sima Yi joined Cao Cao's camp, they have been estranged from each other, and they have a hatred for Cao Shuang's father, Cao Zhen, who killed his son, so they don't feel cold about them.

As for Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, because the two competed with each other for the military rights in the Guanzhong area. After all, Sima Yi had controlled the Guanzhong army for a long time, but Cao Shuang's father also ran Guanzhong for nearly ten years, so the relationship between the two was also very bad.

Cao Rui hadn't passed away for half a year, a news came from the White Mansion that Bai Ren, a veteran of Cao Wei's four dynasties, died in his mansion.

Bai Ren has basically contributed to the cause of Cao Wei all his life, and even now many generals and officials from all over the world are his disciples. Bai Ren's death shocked the whole Cao Wei, even Eastern Wu and Western Shu .

When Cao Fang heard the news of Bai Ren's death, she went to Bai Ren's funeral in person under the leadership of her mother, Guo Shi, and watched Bai Ren's burial.

Chapter 997 Sima Yi's violent rise

Above the court hall, where Bai Ren originally stood was the position of the Taiwei and Taifu, but now it was empty, and the young emperor Cao sat on the dragon chair with a somewhat heavy face.

Cao Shuang stood up from his seat at this time, looked at Cao Fang who was sitting on the dragon chair, hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Fang calmly, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"What's the matter? Please tell me, General!" Cao Fang is upright and young now, and he still values ​​the Tuogu Minister left behind by his father. At this time, looking at Cao Shuang who came out, he said to Cao Shuang with some respect.

"Now the Great Sima has served our Great Wei for a long time, and he has made great achievements and virtues, so he can be named a Taiwei." Cao Shuang silently looked at Sima Yi who was almost gray-haired in the distance, and said in a calm tone .

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

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't object, Cao Fang hesitated for a moment, and said calmly, "In that case, I will make Sima Yi the Grand Tutor."

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty!" Sima Yi replied calmly when he heard Cao Fang's reward, without much change in expression.

After the court meeting ended, Sima Yi slowly left the court hall, 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 appointed several of his younger brothers as the leaders of the entire imperial city, and his confidantes were appointed as Shangshu, Sili Xiaowei and other important official positions.

It can be said that Cao Shuang now relies on his own relationship to basically hold important official positions in his own hands, and under the persuasion of his confidantes, he elected Sima Yi as Tai Tuo, thereby seizing Sima Yi's military power and entrusting him with military power. Belonging to Cao Shuang.

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

Since Bai Ren died, Cao Shuang took this opportunity to suppress them.Now the Sima family named their father, Sima Yi, the Tai Tuo, which obviously took away his father's rights, and now his two brothers are also holding idle positions. It can be said that Cao Shuang is trying his best to suppress their Sima family.

"Father, this Cao Shuang is simply deceiving people too much. Bai Zifu didn't dare to do it back then, but he did it." Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yi in front of him with a serious expression, and said to Sima Yi in a somewhat angry tone.

When Sima Yi heard what Sima Zhao said, he turned his gaze to Ling's son beside him.Master Sima noticed that Master Sima also had a serious expression on his face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Bai Zifu, of course he dare not directly confront my Sima family, and Cao Shuang is different from the Cao clan behind him, but now that Bai Zifu has passed away, although Cao Shuang has a big deal now, it is nothing to worry about. One day, we It will definitely make him regret it." Sima Yi looked at the two sons in front of him calmly, with a sneer in the corner of his mouth, and said calmly.

"Father, do you have a way to deal with Cao Shuang?" At this time, Sima Shi looked at his father's sneer and asked his father with some doubts.

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

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao listened to Sima Yi's words, finally nodded silently, and then left Sima Yi's room.

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

When Cao Shuang got the news, a joyful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly summoned his confidants to discuss the matter.

"Now Sima Yi is seriously ill in bed. I wonder if it's true or not?" Cao Shuang looked at his confidant with a little excitement at this time, and said in a suspicious tone.
