Days are everlasting

In the second year of Huangchu, July.

There was nothing wrong with the imperial court that day, and the emperor Cao Pi took care of the Sima family.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were lucky enough to be by the side, plus Sima Yi, the male master of the family, there were a total of four people in the main room.

Cao Pi came here specifically for lunch. These days, the recipes are the secrets of each family. Even though Cao Pi is the emperor, with Cao Wei's background, it is still unclear whether the dishes in the palace can be compared with those of the courtiers. It is doubtful.

What's more, the eldest son of the Sima family is famous for being a foodie, and he has made some dishes that others have never seen before.

Sima Shi: It is my honor to carry forward the cuisine of our foodie empire! 【Smile·jpg】

More importantly, with the sugar cane bestowed by Cao Pi, Mr. Sima also made brown sugar without a teacher.

It was a bit of a mistake. Originally, he was going to pretend to be a white sugar—after all, people these days pay attention to style. Of course, white sugar that is as white as snow is more popular than brown sugar—but he squeezed the juice, filtered it, and boiled it into sugar. Afterwards, he didn't know how to decolorize this thing.

Chinese people have been eating sugar for a long time, but what they eat is maltose, so-called glutinous sugar, which is similar to the stir-fried sugar that Master Sima ate when he was a child. Before Master Sima, some people had studied how to use sugar cane to make sugar, so brown sugar has already begun to be produced, but caramel is usually eaten, after all, not everyone has sugar cane.

However, a large amount of sugar cane is used to make sucrose, and it is still more common in the Jiaozhi area.

Brown sugar is not called sugar at this time. The ones boiled in the sun and warm fire are called cane sugar and sugar cane. The method of directly using continuous boiling to reduce the moisture to a very low level is called stone honey. .

Brown sugar is actually very good, especially for girls.

After making brown sugar ginger water with eggs for his mother, Sima Shi felt that he was no longer the most popular person in the family with his mother and sister, but the brown sugar he made from two sugar canes before.

This is really heartbreaking, old man.

The drink that Sima's family provided today was brown sugar ginger tea, which was lightly brewed and tasted just right. In addition to some dishes that are common these days, smooth egg custard was added to the table, and Master Sima tried to ask someone to use the salt mud coating method. The salted duck eggs made taste very good.

There is a clay pot burning on a low fire on each person's table, and there are beef, enoki mushrooms and some vegetables that can be clearly identified, as well as tofu and beef balls.

Although it is summer, there are ice cubes stored last year in the main room, so it doesn't feel hot at all.

Thanks to the extravagant life of the feudal aristocrats, Master Sima can enjoy the benefits brought by the high technology of later generations in this era.

It was the time when Wu and Shu were at war, and the court and China were arguing endlessly about this. Sima Shi, who knew the result of this battle, was a little speechless to His Majesty Cao Erpi.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan are torn apart, and the views put forward by the faction headed by the servant Liu Ye in the DPRK are almost exactly the same as the trend of historical development. If Liu Ye's suggestion is followed, Cao Pi may really be able to complete it. The great cause of unifying the world, but in the end he refused to listen.

Liu Ye advocated uniting Shu to destroy Wu, while Cao Pi originally advocated uniting Wu to destroy Shu, and then followed Wang Lang's suggestion to sit and watch success or failure.

He couldn't stand this stupid look.

In order to prevent the tragedy of Wu Huan Hua from happening, Master Sima would rather his Sima family not become a royal family in the future, but also end the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms as soon as possible, so he actually has a little idea recently and wants to write a letter to Cao Pi.

But he is only Sima Yi's son, if not for his father, who would know who he is?Therefore, even if there is a good suggestion, it is not easy to "listen to the sky".

Master Sima: Live with a smile.

Once the members of Lao Cao's family think they are right, it is terrible to become stubborn.

Just like Boss Cao back then, not only did he not adopt his father’s suggestion, but he also left behind the allusion of “Delong Wangshu”, which later generations would use to laugh at those people who were not popular enough to swallow a snake. Master Sima felt wronged for his father when he thought about it .

Now His Majesty Cao Pi, Master Sima felt that with his father's strategic vision, he must be able to see which suggestion is good, but why the current Cao Pi is still singing the opposite tune with Liu Ye, um, he doesn't say.

Facts have proved that there are some things that should not be overthought. When it comes to Cao Cao and Cao Cao, although Cao Pi is not Cao Cao, he is Cao Cao's son, and he is amazing in a certain way [not].

After the soup was full, Cao Pi sighed heavily, Master Sima knew that the important point was coming.

"Recently, Sun Zhongmou from the east of the Yangtze River sent an envoy to the DPRK, and the DPRK and China are discussing it. What should I do?" Cao Pi asked.

Before Sima Yi could reply, he saw that Cao Pi didn't turn his face towards him at all, and he was asking his two sons.

Sima Yi: Excuseme?Exam son, shouldn't you go back to the palace to test your prince?What the hell is looking for my son?

In fact, Sima Yi has also vaguely expressed his attitude before. It is estimated that Cao Pi feels that if Sima Yi answers an answer that does not suit him or an answer that proves to be wrong in the future, he will lose face in front of his children, so he deliberately saves face for him. Bar.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao didn't have so many worries.

Moreover, Cao Pi might get some new opinions and ideas from them.

Sima Shi: Oh, you are very courageous, you came to Baobao's house to seek abuse?

"Who is Sun Zhongmou?" Sima Shi asked back.

Simple younger brother Sima Zhao: Wait a minute, brother, where is the smartest nobleman in Luoyang?

Master Sima returned a look of pity: My younger brother Yuchun!

Wait a minute, we're on stage, tune back first.

Cao Pi thought for a while, and there seemed to be something wrong with simply answering "Son of Sun Wentai, younger brother of Sun Bofu, (appointed by the former emperor) Jingzhou Mu". Everyone knew that it was not easy for Sun Quan to separate himself from one side. minister.

So he asked calmly, and threw the question back to Master Sima.

Sima Shi who was asked, "Who do you think Sun Quan should be?" laughed, and then said firmly: "This person is the enemy of Wei, and the enemy of Your Majesty!"

Master Sima's conclusion means that he is also on the side that does not support Sun Quan, and is not on the same side as Cao Pi.

But Cao Pi didn't stop him from continuing: "Oh, why did Master say that?"

"Sun Zhongmou, a rebellious minister and traitor, the Taizu attacked him, but he had no choice but to beg for surrender. Now he is flattering His Majesty, and his scheme is very big. Earlier, there were discussions among the princes in the court, saying that Sun Qiang and Liu were weak. Although Guan Yu died at the hands of Sun Quan, Liu Xuande would not dare to send troops. , but now Sun Liu will fight. Sun Qiang and Liu Weak, the court sits and watches, and Sun Zhong seeks to win, it will only make him sit on the ear. Sun Quan, the world can look forward to it!" Master Sima said solemnly.

Cao Pi laughed loudly after hearing this: "Liu Ziyang is here, he should be regarded as a friend who has forgotten the year."

Liu Ziyang is Liu Ye, insisting that Cao Pi should take the opportunity to help Liu Bei, and should not agree to Sun Quan's servant.

It is said that Cao Pi intends to canonize Sun Quan, and Liu Ye is also insisting on opposing it.

Although Liu Ye is a descendant of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, he really did his best for Cao Wei.

"I don't know if Your Majesty has ever played a bamboo horse show?" Master Sima asked Cao Pi a question.

Cao Pi, who was a bit of a childless crowd, shook his head silently.

He learned to ride a horse at the age of eight, and went to the battlefield with his father at the age of ten. He rode real horses. At that time, he really didn't have the heart to play bamboo horse games.

"Today there are 30 children, Party A has 15 people, Party B has nine people, and Party C has six people. B and C fight against A together, and then there is a quarrel with each other. C wants to attack B, and there are mourning soldiers. Party B asks A for help, what should A do?" Master Sima asked Cao Pi this question, using the example of a child playing a game.

As for what the winner will get in the end, there is no need for Sima Shi to explain, what the winner can get is the world!

"A should assist C to attack B, and then attack B, then A will win." Cao Pi is not stupid, Master Sima said it so clearly, of course he can understand the meaning.

However, the problem is that a real war is different from a game. Cao Pi was originally afraid of such a situation, so he wanted to choose to sit on the sidelines and wait for the development of the situation before sending troops.

If the war continues, Cao Wei will still reap the benefits of the fisherman in the end.

However, who made the development of things not at all what Cao Wei expected. Liu Bei didn't know the soldiers, and was finally burned to death.

At present, Cao Pi, who is still watching the battle from the sidelines, said again: "The play of bamboo horses is just for children's ears. When B and C attack each other, there will be damage, and if A waits for work, there will be gains!"

Sima Shi: Your Majesty Erpi, can we stop playing wishful thinking so well?God is not your own father, how can everything be as you want?If you don't grasp this golden opportunity, you will really have to rely on numbers to flatten Wu and Shu!

Master Sima became gloomy, but he still did not give up: "Sun Tzu said: 'There are five dangers in the future: you must die, you can be killed; you must live, you can be captured; you can be angry quickly, you can be insulted; It's annoying.' Guan Yunchang, Liu Xuande's thigh, he regards it as a brother and a foot. Liu Xuande is now leading his troops to revenge, and he will be angry. The "speed of anger" committed by him, there is a gap to take advantage of, and Sun Zhongmou can take it lightly!"

Master Sima spoke seriously, but what he quoted was quite reasonable, which made Cao Pi ponder again.

He had said so much eloquently, and Sima Yi couldn't just stand by and watch, so he naturally wanted to speak up for the eldest son.

Sima Yi was also very straightforward, and only asked Cao Pi a question: "Sun Zhongmou sent jewels and delicacies to the court, is there any hostage?"

No hostages of any importance have been sent to you. Are you really sure that he is sincere?

Your Majesty, are you really not joking?

Cao Pi returned to the palace with a pensive look on his face.

Although there are situations that need to be considered in various choices, the method of sitting on the sidelines chosen by the court now seems to be inferior to the Lian Sun Kangliu he insisted on before, at least it can destroy one side, and the situation can be controlled a little bit.

And the most important thing is that Sima Shi, a child, can see so clearly, so Cao Pi can't help but think whether Sun Zhongmou's external respect and internal traitor are already known to everyone.

The author has something to say: To be reasonable, when I watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before and saw Wu and Shu tearing apart, the stupid author really wanted to ask, why didn't Wei Wei take the opportunity to get some benefits?If you do better, you can rule the world!In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, this is the best time for Wei to rule the world!

Then I looked at the historical materials, oh, Erpi was too naive, and was fooled by Ermou.Although troops were dispatched later, Lu Shenjun—that is, brother Lu Xun—he was not fooled, and I, Wei, missed a good opportunity.

Then when Er Pi sent out his troops in anger, everyone had rested and recuperated, and they had just finished tearing up, because they knew that you, Wei Wei, had cleared up their previous suspicions, so Er Pi's dispatch of troops could only take the army out for a trip.

Alas, Erpi, what should you say about you?
