Days are everlasting

In history, when Sima Shi and Xia Houxuan had a good time, they didn’t know that they would turn against each other later. Although the current Sima Master knows that they will disagree in the future, but he has grown up with Xia Houxuan for so many years. I really can't bear it.

In order to make myself feel less guilty in the future—if the faction of Sima and Xia Houxuan and Cao Shuang were really torn apart—Master Sima worked hard to find Xia Houxuan's shortcomings.

But the young man's character is very good, he has a high position in his family and is not short of money, he is also a pioneer of metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he is also very accurate in judging people, and basically has no shortcomings.

As for his arrogance, Sima Shi, who also has this problem, thinks it's not a big deal.

And who can do it all the time?These days, young people must be vigorous!

It is a mature fox who is comprehensive in every aspect, and that is an existence to be guarded against!

The banquet ended with Mao Jia's self-proclaimed "Hou Shen". "Hou Shen" means "My Lord Hou". After the banquet, Master Sima didn't have the slightest sense of disobedience to this word, and it was indeed terrifying.

Sima Shi felt that Lord Mao Jia and Mao Hou probably wanted to laugh all the ministers who came to the banquet to death, so as to inherit the positions they vacated.

Mao once wanted to have a relationship with Xia Houxuan, but it was a pity that Mao Midi didn't matter much to Xia Houxuan at all.

It's not that Sima Shi is boasting, with such a good friend like him, unless it's He Yan and Deng Yang who are as famous as them, Xia Houxuan basically can't see others.

Not long after the Mao family's banquet, it was the Chinese New Year, but because of the rebellion of Xincheng prefect Meng Da, Sima Yi was sent out to quell the chaos and did not stay in Luoyang.

Sima Shi stayed in Luoyang to preside over family affairs, and visited Xiahou's family during the period.

Xia Houshang died in the sixth year of Huangchu. According to the three-year filial piety schedule, Sima Shi and Xia Houzheng's wedding date was set in the second year of Taihe, which was the year after Sima Shi's crown ceremony.

Although Cao Pi killed Xia Houshang's concubine for the head of the Deyang township before, it seemed to those who didn't know the truth that he didn't like Xiahoushang, but after all, the two were good friends who played together since childhood, so I said Xia Houxuan, like Sima Shi, was regarded as a favored "child of other people" among the juniors Cao Pi knew, and Cao Rui said that he suffered a lot from it.

However, the relationship between Cao Rui and Xia Houxuan is obviously not as close as that of Sima Shi. Sima Shi didn't know that his first step in changing history as a time traveler in this life was to invest in advance. Emperor Wei Ming and Cao Rui became friends, but the reality is so unpredictable. .

Sima Shi entered the palace as a good friend of the emperor. In the past, Emperor Wen Cao Pi would occasionally call him into the palace, so he was familiar with the situation in the palace. It's the same, which makes him a little awkward.

If Master Sima was still a little bit lost before entering the palace again, after seeing Mao Zeng, he felt nothing at all.

In the second year of Taihe, just after the new year, there was a transfer of personnel in the Great Wei. Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuanqi all joined the post and became servants of the Yellow Gate of Sanqi. Not long after that, Mao Zeng also joined the post.

Cao Pi's original intention for setting up this position was to "select high-level talents and scholars", that is, to store and train high-level talents. However, among the royal family and relatives, some people were selected for this position by virtue of various relationships.

Xia Houxuan can be regarded as a kind of imperial relative, but he is talented, and others have different evaluation criteria for him.

For example, Qian Qianyi in the late Ming Dynasty was a figure at the level of a master in the literary world, and he was the leader in the literary world. Although he was equally talented when he was young, his second place in the ranking was bought with money - it is said that he bought the number one scholar at that time , but some people fought him for riches and pushed him to No.2—if he was an ordinary person, this kind of behavior would definitely be despised, but Qian Qianyi has a high status in the literary world and his achievements are not low, so people On the contrary, it's a pity that he only got the second place in the list back then, and didn't really win the number one.

Therefore, no one thought that Xia Houxuan could not be the servant of the Huangmen Cavalry. Instead, he felt that he could not continue to study here, and that he should be promoted as soon as possible to match his talent.

Then, Xia Houxuan was not promoted, Cao Rui stuffed his brother-in-law Mao Zeng in.

Mao Zeng belonged to the kind of person among the royal relatives who had no real talents and knowledge but was stuffed in to make up for it. In view of his father Mao Jiafan holding banquets and meeting people, he always called him "Hou Shen", which was cited as a joke in Beijing, so others The perception of Mao Zeng is not very good.

The most common sentence Master Sima heard recently was "Working with Mao Zeng, I really wronged you, Brother Ziyuan, and Brother Taichu."

Sima Shi just smiled, but he also told Cao Rui in private that Mao Zeng was not suitable for his current position. If he wanted to praise him, he should use other expressions as soon as possible.

And if he really loves Queen Mao, he should stop praising her mother's family. The Mao family's reputation in the capital is very bad now, not only has it brought down the reputation of Queen Mao, even Cao Rui has surpassed his grandfather and father, Became the representative of "color makes wisdom faint".

There are many idle positions that are "noble and noble", such as Sanqi Huangmen servant. Although it is only a talent reserve training institution, the people who come out of this place will have great promise in the future. By analogy, it is a bit like the period of the imperial examination system in later generations "Non-scholars are not allowed to join the cabinet".

The Mao family is just an upstart, without an orthodox education, and their ideas are very different from those of the sages in the court. They are still closer to the state of ordinary people, and they are not very humble.

On the one hand, Cao Rui said that he had listened to Sima Shi's words, but on the other hand, there was no movement as before.

All right, Sima Shi expressed his passive protest with silence.

I go to the office during working hours, and after "checking in" and signing, I'm stuck in the palace. I don't know what I'm doing. It doesn't matter if I get off work a little earlier, so Master Sima usually returns home very early. .

Nearly two months passed like this, and Cao Rui really thought that Sima Shi was passive and sabotage if the name of the reporter Sima Shi hadn't been on the officials' "sign-in book"!

Compared to Master Sima, Xia Houxuan was somewhat undisturbed.

Mao Zeng also knew how to watch people order food. Sima Shi and Cao Rui had a good relationship, and he made it clear that he didn't want to see him very much. Even if Mao Zeng didn't look for him, Cao Rui still took the time to gather them together, not to mention Mao Zeng, regardless of whether it was true or not, was still Xia Houxuan's fanboy?

At that time, people said that Mao once sat with Xia Houxuan, but it was "Jianjia leaning on a jade tree". Jianjia is a reed, and a reed is more expensive than a jade tree. The contrast is sharp.

Xia Houxuan was very individual. When he had an audience with the emperor, when he sat with the emperor's brother-in-law in front of the emperor, he dared to show the appearance of "shame and displeasure". It can be said that he was very bold.

The result is obvious, Xia Houxuan was wearing small shoes by the emperor.

But because of his family background, Cao Rui showed mercy to his subordinates, but Zuoqian made trouble for Yulin Supervisor.

Of course Xia Houxuan's demotion was not a good thing, but what is worth celebrating in this matter is that after he was angered by the emperor, he finally didn't have to be dragged by the emperor to add value to his brother-in-law Mao Zeng.

Xia Houxuan was freed after paying the price of being demoted, but Sima Shi was not yet.

Regarding this situation, Sima Shi, who clearly told the emperor to remove Mao Zeng earlier, said: Excuseme?

Although Sima Shi's reputation is not as great as Xia Houxuan's, it is not small. When He Yan, a guy with a high self-esteem, praises others, he puts Sima Shi and Xia Houxuan side by side and praises them together.

As the saying goes, "Only deepness is the only way to understand the aspirations of the world. This is the case in Xiahou Taichu; only a few things are the only way to achieve the world's affairs. Sima Ziyuan is also."

Xia Houxuan saw the problem deeply. Master Sima did things meticulously and could notice the subtleties. It was conceivable that Master Sima was also a master.

However, just like Xia Houxuan, a great man, couldn't bear to be with Mao Zeng, Sima Shi didn't want to be with someone he didn't like.

The hair teacher of His Majesty Sima Emperor said: Our friendship has probably come to an end, Keke.

Sima Shi couldn't bear to continue to work with Mao Zeng, so he changed his direction of development. Even if he started as a Sanqi Huangmen servant at the beginning of his official career, he would also switch to the military.

So very soon, after Xia Houxuan moved to be the prisoner of the Yulin, it was reported that Master Sima had transferred to the Taoist school, and at a young age, he was making some pills there in a vain attempt to become an immortal.

Even Cao Rui heard the rumor very quickly, and euphemistically mentioned a few words to Master Sima.

Master Sima: Keke, you mortals with fishy lips, how can you understand this baby's thoughts!

After living in the smoke of Sima's house for a period of time, Master Sima, who vaguely remembered some important "ingredients", finally completed his experiment.

Accompanied by a loud noise, almost all the offices of the Huangmen servants in the palace were blown down.

Sima Shi, who miscalculated the amount and made explosives too successfully: ...

People are sitting at home, and disasters come from the sky. If it wasn’t for broad daylight, Cao Rui, who really thought it was the daytime thunder, would be punished by God: …

The clear record of gunpowder was in the Jin Dynasty, and it was the product of alchemists' alchemy—otherwise, how could there be a word "medicine" for elixir—before this, perhaps some alchemists had unintentionally refined it, but Compared with Sima Shi, who wanted to make gunpowder and experimented on a large scale, they must be inferior.

In this period, things like gunpowder and its accompanying products can be regarded as "magic weapons". As the inventor of the magic weapon, the importance of Master Sima is self-evident.

And soon, the first debut of gunpowder was ushered in.

In the spring of the second year of Taihe, Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of Shu, led the Northern Expedition and led 30 troops to attack Wei. Of course, everyone knows that during the Cold Weapons War, the number of armies from all sides was exaggerated, but dare to claim 30. It is estimated that Zhuge Liang’s actual troops There should also be about [-] horses——Cao Wei was unprepared, and the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding in Longyou were unable to resist. The prefects of Tianshui and Nan'an abandoned the city and fled. Of the five counties of Longyou, only Guangwei and Longxi counties were left to stand firm, and the entire Cao Wei was "feared by the government and the people."

Emperor Cao Rui sent famous generals Cao Zhen, Zhang Jai and others to resist the enemy, and personally led the army to Chang'an to sit in the town. Sima Shi took his secret weapon on the battlefield for the first time.

The author has something to say: The estimate was wrong... Ashi is pretending to be charging...

The next chapter should be able to explode 【Hey!
