Days are everlasting

After Sima Shi returned to Luoyang, he naturally lived at home.

Zhang Chunhua hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, so naturally he missed his eldest son very much, and spent the whole day asking about his health. His two younger brothers, Sima Zhao and Sima Gan, also met with Master Sima every day, but because of the current situation, they were not just gossiping.

Even Zhang Chunhua is a courageous, knowledgeable, and insightful female hero. When it comes to the status and power of the Sima family, everyone will mobilize and use their best abilities.

At the beginning of April in the third year of Zhengshi, when the wind was breezy, Master Sima was teaching his eldest son Sima Chen in the courtyard of his home.

The second son Sima Heng and the third son Sima Rui stayed by his side. Yang Huiyu wanted to take care of the eldest daughter Sima Qiong and the second daughter Sima Luo, as well as the newly born twin daughters Sima Lin and Sima Lang. The eldest son Sima Chen, who was far away in Luoyang, was beyond his reach.

But for Master Sima, the status of Sima Chen as the eldest son is different. It is the appearance of this child that gives him hope in terms of heirs, and Sima Chen and Sima Luo are twins. For Yuan, although it seems a bit superstitious, the meaning of Sima Chen, the child of twins, is different.

Sima Chen has been close to Master Sima since he was a child. This time, Master Sima and others went to Liaodong, and he was left alone in Luoyang. Although Luoyang's conditions are good, it is a guarantee for the child's status to let Sima Yi raise Sima Chen, etc. Excuses to explain, but the child's inner loss cannot be changed.

Master Sima always came to ask questions when he saw the child, and besides the daily greetings, he was always thinking about the opportunity to get close to himself, and whether he would take his son to Liaodong.

But in this way, maybe his father Sima Yi's life in Luoyang City will be even more difficult.

The other three will not let go of this good opportunity to catch wind and shadow.

Sima Shi and Sima Chen were loving their father and son in the courtyard, when they heard a rush of footsteps, Sima Zhao came in frowning.

"Brother, do you know what's going on outside about you and His Royal Highness King Jin?" Sima Zhao's tone was angry, but with a trace of powerlessness, obviously the current situation was not what he wanted to see.

Sima Shi was very calm: "Left and right are just some rumors about the King of Jin and the Son of Heaven. The Qing Dynasty will be cleared by itself. Besides, the Palace of Compassion is still there. The Palace of Compassion is the birth mother of the King of Jin. How can you sit and watch someone try to harm the King of Jin?"

Sima Zhao still didn't calm down: "It's precisely because the Queen Mother is the biological mother of the King of Jin, and now it's even more unclear! They all say that you and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are going to do something against the Yuan in Liaodong."

Yuan Ni refers to Gongsun Yuan. No matter how much the Gongsun family looks like the emperor in the Liaodong area, they are still officials of the Great Wei in name. In this case, Gongsun Yuan’s behavior of claiming to be the king of Yan is naturally a rebellious thing, so Sima Zhaocai called it For Yuan Ni.

"If it's just that, how can you look like this, Zishang? What else is rumored outside, you just say it." Master Sima didn't shy away from letting the eldest son who was staying aside know the news. He was cultivated, and his goal is to be the ninth-fifth position. As his first choice for successor, Sima Chen must also grow up from a young age.

"They all said that elder brother and the queen mother want to repeat the old incident in Beixiang." Sima Zhao finished the last few words with a grim expression.

The so-called old events in Beixiang refer to a period of seizing the throne during the reign of Emperor Anshun during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Emperor Han'an Liu Hu passed away, leaving only his only son Liu Bao, king of Jiyin.

Liu Bao was the only son of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty. He was born to the Li family of Yigong. The empress Yan of Emperor An had no children. Therefore, in the first year of Emperor An of Yongning, the seven-year-old Liu Bao was established as the crown prince.

However, it is said that Empress Yan killed Liu Bao's biological mother, Li Shi, so she deliberately planned to get rid of him. In the end, Emperor An was persuaded by the empress to depose his only son Liu Bao from the position of crown prince and make him the king of Jiyin.

After the death of Emperor An, Empress Yan chose Liu Yi, the younger Marquis of Beixiang in the clan, as emperor, while she and her relatives took control of the court.

A few months later, the young Liu Yi died of illness. The eunuchs conspired to kill the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Yan, and re-appointed Liu Bao, the son of the late emperor, as Emperor Shun of Han.

Beixiang was referring to Liu Yi, so it was already obvious what Beixiang was talking about in the past.

Now the emperor Cao Fang is equivalent to Beixiang Hou, and Jin Wang Cao Shao is equivalent to Han Shun Emperor, and unlike Han Shun Emperor who was specially guarded by the queen mother and had to rely on eunuchs to win the throne, Jin Wang Cao Shao is not only the relative of the first emperor My son is still the empress dowager's own son!

Sima Shi sneered twice: "The old story of Beixiang? Oh, they really think highly of me and King Jin too!"

It should be noted that Beixiang Hou Liuyi is the clan officially welcomed by Empress Yan. Although Emperor Shun Liu Bao is the only son of Emperor An Liu Hu, his reserve position has been abolished. It was wrong to accuse her.

In fact, the eunuchs took the trouble to kill Empress Dowager Yan’s relatives after Beixiang Hou Liuyi died of illness. According to the legal system, if Beixiang Hou Liuyi lived a few more years, his title of emperor would become orthodox. Blame him for living so short a time.

Today's emperor Cao Fang has been on the throne for three years, and his authority has gradually been established. What's more, it was the first emperor himself who said that Cao Fang would be crown prince, and his legitimacy is beyond doubt.

Sima Zhao was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid someone with a heart will make trouble."

Sima Shi still sneered: "The king of Jin and I stayed away from Liaodong in order to avoid the muddy water in Luoyang City. Unexpectedly, some people can't wait so soon."

Sima Zhao asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Master Sima didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Do you value your current position?"

As Sima Yi's second son, Sima Zhao also became an official after his elder brother, but because he was the second son, of course his starting point was not as high as that of his elder brother Sima Shi.

When Sima Yi became the minister of the auxiliary government again, Cao Rui entrusted Sima Shi to Cao Shao. As the new generation of the Sima family, Sima Zhao's situation in the court cannot be said to be good, and his current position is only worse than when he first entered the officialdom. Sometimes a little higher.

Sima Zhao shook his head.

"When the first emperor passed away, he was entrusted by the king of Jin. Now he is young, and the power is in the hands of Cao Zhao and others. Cao Changsi and others are in vain to owe the great kindness of the former lord, but they have repeatedly targeted the king of Jin. In my opinion, it is not It's not as good as 'to punish the powerful ministers, the Qing emperor's side', return the great power to the sage, and make the king of Jin the younger brother, the best of both worlds, everyone is happy." Sima Shi looked at Sima Zhao, and his words were startling.

After Sima Zhao heard Master Sima's thoughts, he was numb.

It's not anything else, but because Sima Shi's statement is too shocking.

In the entire Han Dynasty, there was no such person as the emperor's younger brother. At that time, Emperor Jing Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty had a possible emperor's younger brother Liu Wu, the king of Liang. Relying on the favor of his mother, Queen Mother Dou, Emperor Jing also met Wu Chu. The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was such an urgent need, and the only princes and kings who could rely on were Liu Wu, his mother's younger brother, and a small number of loyal royal family members. Liu Wu was almost made the heir apparent because of this.

But in the end, wasn't he not established?

Moreover, the relationship between Han Jingdi and Liu Wu shows how an emperor would willingly make his brother the heir apparent?

If you are not asking for something, then you are being forced by others.

The emperor Cao Fang is still young, so the so-called sidelines of the Qing emperor and return to the great government is just a euphemism for Sima Shi to get rid of the other three assistant ministers and transfer power to his father Sima Yi, and make King Jin the emperor. Taidi, even more clearly exposed his intention to let the emperor change people early.

In this matter, Sima Shi has confidence in Sima Zhao and Sima Chen's ability to keep secrets.

The change of Gaoping Mausoleum in history is an uncertain event. There is a gap between Sima's manpower and Cao Shuang's, but it is just the time for them to go to the mausoleum.

However, things like coups are accidental events. To capture the thief first, the king depends on who is more unexpected!

The Sima division in history served as the excluded central guard, but even so, he also displayed enough ability to win over a certain amount of manpower, not to mention the "three thousand dead men raised by the Emperor's Yin" in the historical records up.

At that time, Sima Yi was squeezed out so that he often claimed to be ill and did not go to court, and he didn't have many people in his hands. In fact, the two sons who could rely on him, especially the people in Sima Shi's hands.

The current situation is much better than in history, what's more, the parties who are currently fighting fiercely would not have thought that the Sima family would suddenly attack.

However, the attack is going to happen, but not now.

Sima Shi naturally wanted to discuss his own ideas with his own father, Sima Yi. Since the father and son were entrusted to different young masters, the current situation of the Sima family was very delicate, and Sima Yi did not immediately veto Sima Master's bold plan.

It was nothing more than a move against the auxiliary ministers in the court. At the same time, if he succeeded in making Jin Wang Cao Shao the emperor's younger brother, it would not be regarded as a disobedience of the Sima family, but a failure of the late emperor's entrustment.

Sima Yi is already old, and what he hopes to see is that his descendants can live a better life. For him, Jin Wang Cao Shao seems to be a better choice than Emperor Cao Fang.

Sima Chen was fortunate enough to know part of the plan at a young age, but he did not reveal it except for a little excitement, which made Sima Yi praise "My family has a descendant".

After the father and son finished discussing this shocking plan, they actually kept silent and never mentioned it again, as if nothing had happened.

The time on the Qing emperor's side was set by Sima Shi when he brought King Jin to Beijing in the next year.

As long as he explained on the table that King Jin is really sick this year, and please come back next year, in the eyes of others, he is just giving feedback on the recent rumors in the capital, and there is a high possibility that he will be allowed.

In the middle year, it depends on whether Sima Zhao can be transferred to the palace as a veteran.

In order to ensure safety, Master Sima will also send the "three thousand dead men" he "raised" to Luoyang one after another—of course, the actual number is only a lot more than this—to Luoyang.
