Great Wei Nengchen

Cao Pi couldn't help being curious, first asked Sima Shi, the little guy answered very well, all dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety, the elders have not yet been rewarded, there is no reason to be a junior!

"And why did you receive the reward?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the king's gift, the minister dare not resign, the majesty's reward to Yuchan, the boy Zhao'an dare not accept it?"

Cao Pi asked Sima Zhao again, and the answer he got was also perfect. Since ancient times, the courtiers have no reason to refuse the things that the kings rewarded, let alone a jade cicada, even poison, daggers, and white silk. Take the initiative to report to Lord Yan!

In all fairness, the two little dolls have already performed very well by saying such things, and they have also demonstrated good tutoring. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi suddenly put on a straight face and asked a very sharp question...

"I gave a gift to you brother, if one of you doesn't accept it, you say filial piety is greater than loyalty; if the other person accepts it, you say loyalty is greater than filial piety, the two answers are completely different, so there must be one pair wrong!

Those who are right know how to be courteous, and I will reward them heavily. To deceive the emperor by mistake is a crime of killing people. Which of you two is right and who is wrong? "

…………

Cao Pi, the dignified emperor of Wei, naturally won't be serious with the two children, but it's just a tease. If the two children are scared to cry, it will be more interesting. Adults often take this as a pleasure!

But if you speak unintentionally, the listener has intentions. Since ancient times, companions to kings are like companions to tigers. Countless people were killed because of a momentary slip of the tongue. The Sima clan must be cautious, but how to answer this question?

Two white jade cicadas, if one child does not pick it up, it is for filial piety; if the other child picks it up, it is for loyalty, and loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to have both since ancient times, after all, one has to distinguish between right and wrong!

But no matter who is right and who is wrong, it is Sima's fault in the end. It is unlikely that the head will fall, and a "crime of deceiving the emperor" is inevitable. If Cao Pi deliberately finds fault that day, is this a ready-made excuse?

Sima Fang had a lot of thoughts, but he couldn't think of a way to solve it, so he had to look at his second son, Sima Yi, who was the most scheming person in the family. Facing Cao Pi's restraining gaze, it was difficult to speak again.

I can only look at the two sons anxiously, hoping that they will respond carefully, if I can't do it, I will cry a lot, and I will get away with it, even if I am afraid that they will not be able to answer, but even more afraid that they will be able to answer, it will be even worse!

"Swipe! - Master Kid..."

After hesitating for a moment, Master Sima took a step forward, his small face was full of determination, he was ready to admit his mistake in order to save his young brother, even if his head fell to the ground!

It is very rare for a ten-year-old child to have such courage, but just as he took a step, he was dragged back by his younger brother's little hand.

"Reporting to Your Majesty: Brother is right not to accept the reward, and so is Zizhao to accept the reward!"

"Haha, is it right to accept it or not? This statement is contradictory. Is the little guy trying to deceive the king?"

"Xiao Zizhao dare not deceive the emperor. My elder brother is the eldest grandson of the Sima family. According to the law of the ancestors, he should stay at home to perform filial piety, so there is nothing wrong with not accepting the reward!

Xiao Zizhao is the second-in-law grandson, since his elder brother lives in filial piety, he should be loyal to His Majesty, so there is nothing wrong with accepting the reward!

We two brothers are in different positions, so the choices are naturally different. It is not a contradiction, but it is actually the method of Sima's loyalty and filial piety! "

……

"Haha, what a smart and clever child, not under my younger brother Cangshu, he is really a child prodigy!"

After listening to Sima Zhao's wonderful answer, Cao Pi couldn't help laughing, and stroked his top and called him a "child prodigy", but in the deepest part of his eyes, there was a cold light flashing back and forth!

If it is said that Cao Pi just made a small joke to tease the two children of the Sima family, now he is really murderous, wishing to wring the heads of the two children, because after a conversation, Cao Pi thought of two people, One is his genius younger brother Cao Chong, and the other is Zhou Buyi!

Zhou Buyi, straight character, from Jingzhou-Lingling County, rare talents, smart and sensitive, has written four literary works at a young age, and is called a child prodigy by the world!

At that time, Cao Cao was cultivating his youngest son Cao Chong. He wanted to establish him as his heir, so he took Zhou Buyi into the Prime Minister's house. As Cao Chong's companion, let the two child prodigies get along day and night, and slowly cultivate their relationship!

In the future, Cao Chong will be in charge of the world, and Zhou Buyi will be the minister. Cao Cao even plans to betroth his youngest daughter to Zhou Buyi as his wife.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chong has a congenital deficiency. In order to survive, he had to live in seclusion with two genius doctors.

Cao Cao regretted this for a long time, and planned to send someone to assassinate Zhou Buyi. When Cao Pi found out about this, he went to dissuade his father, hoping to keep this child prodigy and be his minister in the future, but his father refused. !

Cao Cao only said one sentence: "This man is beyond your control", and then sent someone to kill Zhou Buyi, who was only 17 years old!

The implication is that Zhou Buyi's ability is too strong, so Cao Chong can control it, and Cao Pi is far from it. If he stays behind, he will not only fail to become a minister of power, but will become a minister of power, and then threaten Cao Wei Jiangshan!

Cao Pi has a deep memory of this incident, and today he feels the same way: Sima's two children, one is calm and resolute, the other is cunning and quick-witted.

And those sons of my own can only be regarded as mediocre, far different from the two children of the Sima family. If nothing else, would the country still be named Cao?

Those who don't plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who don't plan for eternity are not enough to plan for a while. For the sake of Cao's family, his father can cruelly kill a child prodigy. Shouldn't he follow suit and eliminate harm for his descendants in advance? ?

"Jianggong has such a wonderful grandson, Sima's lintel is just around the corner!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, inferior grandchildren are hard to become masters, I hope His Majesty will take care of them!"

Cao Pi's palace is very deep, and he can't wait to use a knife in his heart, but his face is full of smiles, and he personally helped Sima Fang into the gate, and the rest followed closely, heading straight for the central hall...

Sima Yi deliberately took a step behind, looking at his two sons, his eyes were full of worry: "Smart is so obvious on the outside, I'm afraid they are not the sons of the housekeeper!" '

Chapter 1654 Start to get drunk, end up crazy!

Ordinary people would bring some gifts when visiting a friend's house. Naturally, Cao Pi would not come empty-handed when he came to Sima's mansion. Gifts, including:

A Longevity Buddha made of sheep fat jade, more than three feet high, specially invited eminent monks to consecrate it!

A pair of giant Shu brocade longevity tents, one foot five feet high and one foot two feet wide, embroidered with five bats holding birthday patterns, exquisite embroidery and delicate stitches!

There are 99 pieces of pure golden birthday peaches, each of which is the size of a fist, and they are all solid!

…………

"He Dehe Neng, an old minister, is so loved by His Majesty. He can only do his utmost to be loyal until he dies—woooo!"

The birthday presents were brought up one by one, and the hall was quickly filled. Sima Fang was so moved that he burst into tears, and led his children and grandchildren to kneel down and salute again, vowing to be loyal to the Great Wei Empire forever, but he had other ideas in his heart...

As the saying goes: "Being courteous to others, you must ask for something. Now that Cao Pi has come to Sima's mansion in person and presented so many precious gifts, it is not just to reminisce about the past, there must be a big event to entrust!"

Moreover, the more presents are given, the more difficult and dangerous this matter is. Sima Fang has been in the officialdom for decades, and he naturally knows the way. Woolen cloth?

Previously, Cao Pi exchanged the full support of the gentry group at the cost of implementing the "Nine Ranks of Officials and Personnel Law". Only then did he successfully replace the Han Dynasty and establish the Great Wei Empire!

However, after sitting on the dragon chair, Cao Pi has not been able to fulfill the promise due to various reasons. This has caused great dissatisfaction among the gentry group, and they have continuously put pressure on Cao Pi, urging Cao Pi to fulfill the promise as soon as possible, otherwise they will be dismantled.

Cao Pi today condescends and condescends, is it possible that he wants to use the power of Sima to appease the disaffected gentry group, or does he have a bigger and more insidious purpose?

"I would like to borrow another cup of longevity wine, and wish Mr. Jiangong a long life and prolong his life!"

"Haha, I am an ordinary person, but my lifespan is only a hundred years old, but your Majesty has ten thousand years. I should respectfully congratulate Your Majesty!"

"Drink!--drink!"

After the birthday gift was presented, a banquet was set up in the lobby. Although it was in Sima's mansion, every dish served was cooked by the chefs of the Imperial Dining Room, and even the ingredients were brought by themselves!

Before the food and wine are served, they have to go through more than a dozen process inspections, and they have to be tasted by the palace people before they dare to offer them to His Majesty. This is also one of the emperor's privileges, that is, to eat other people's leftovers for a lifetime! '

After drinking three rounds, eating five flavors, and emotions brewing in place, Cao Pi finally expressed his intention...

"The establishment of a new dynasty and the renewal of Vientiane are just in need of veteran ministers who seek to help us govern the world. Although the old man is nearly seventy years old, he is full of energy and has a youthful face. I hope he can come forward to preside over important events and solve problems for the country!
