The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

The visitor was talking about Bao Xun.

This is what Sima Yi did not expect.

Bao Xun is the son of Bao Xin. Bao Xin and Cao Cao have a very good friendship. When the princes from all walks of life were attacking Dong Zhuo, Bao Xin saved Cao Cao with his life in exchange for his life.Because of this relationship, although Cao Cao did not recognize Bao Xun as his adopted son (he has too many adopted sons, of course, it can also be said that the condition for him to recognize his adopted son is to see how his adopted son's mother looks...) , but blue eyes are indispensable. Bao Xun later became an official, and the letter of recommendation was written by Chen Qun.In the fourth year of Huang Chu's reign, there was a high demand for him to become Yushi Zhongcheng. Cao Pi was hesitant when he looked at the memorial, because the recommender on it was also Chen Qun at the head, followed by Zhong Yao and Hua Xin. The people who recommended Bao Xun to Cao Cao were almost the same, and Cao Pi didn’t like their blatant cliques, so he returned it without approval. After several times, the last time Cao Pi opened the memorial, he found that it had become the first memorial again. Just when I was about to get angry, I suddenly found that the list of recommenders had changed, and finally one more person signed:

Sima Yi.

Cao Pi immediately agreed.

Otherwise, Sima Yi would definitely be severely isolated.

However, Bao Xun's promotion does not mean that the relationship between him and Cao Pi will improve. Their relationship was formed during the Jian'an period.

Guo Xu's younger brother took advantage of his position to embezzle and hack the official cloth, and the crime fell into the hands of Captain Bao Xun.That was when outsiders thought that Cao Pi doted on Mrs. Guo, and Guo Xu didn't dare to intercede. She was very smart and looked at Cao Pi with sad and forbearing eyes every time when Cao Pi came, but she didn't open her mouth. Cao Pi always went out. Hearing others secretly saying that his concubine's younger brother would be abandoned in the city for stealing some cloth, it's embarrassing... Cao Pi wanted to prove himself and rescued this fake brother-in-law, but he was worried that he would lose points in front of his father by doing so. It was not time for the prince, so he sent Wu Zhi and others to expressly imply that Bao Xun could just turn a blind eye and let it go. Anyway, his father Cao Cao would not care about such an official.

But Bao Xun didn't respond.

"If you really want to save someone, you should go and talk to Bao Xun in person." At that time, Sima Yi was so troubled by Guo Xu that he could only take the initiative to help him in order to seek peace.

"But my dad will know..."

"For such a trivial matter, if the King of Wei would know that there is only one possibility: Bao Xun told him. Do you think Bao Xun is so bold? If he was really so bold, then he would have made his own decision to let him go. Because he was afraid that the King of Wei would pursue him, he did business in a business-like manner, and he did not dare to go beyond the standard."

"But what if..."

"There is no chance. Even if someone else reports to King Wei, Bao Xun is so timid, he will not dare to confess you."

So Cao Pi wrote a letter to Bao Xun to intercede in person, and he talked several times, but Bao Xun didn't pay attention to this until he abandoned his younger brother Guo.

Cao Pi hated Bao Xun because of this: "He doesn't think of me!"

Sima Yi sighed: "It's fine to be timid, and stupid. If I were him, since I have already decided to offend you, according to your habits, I will definitely take revenge in the future, so why don't I just give it a go and hand over the evidence to Wei Wei?" Wang? He actually has no such plans at all."

What happened later was that Cao Pi became the eldest son, Cao Cao died, Cao Pi became the king of Wei, and became the emperor again.

During Cao Pi's reign as emperor, he avenged a lot of revenge. The most famous thing was to kill Cao Hong. This time it was true, not just talk. There was a lot of trouble in the court, and Sima Yi knew that he was going to avenge him. At the beginning, Cao Hong refused the revenge of a hundred bolts of silk, so he let him go.In the end, Mrs. Bian and Queen Guo were forced to come forward together, and all the elders of the Manchu Dynasty came to intercede, but Cao Pi remained unmoved.Later, an unknown person secretly taught Cao Hong to present Cao Pi with humility and guilt, and praise the emperor. In short, Cao Pi is a smooth-haired cat. If you fight him against him, he will definitely blow his hair. Can not die.

Cao Hong really did this, belittled his past glorious experience to nothing in the watch, and begged Cao Pi to forgive his despicable and ignorant past. Kneeling in the main hall, the ministers covered their faces with their sleeves, and couldn't bear to look at the unbearable scene.

Sima Yi knelt and sat on the spot, but suddenly remembered a sentence inappropriately: Humble into the dust, and then a flower will bloom.

Bah, I'm so humbled to the dust, and I can't make any good flowers.

Yang Jun, who was good to Cao Zhi, also died. Cao Pi arrested him because the market under his rule was not lively enough. He didn't say to kill him, but he still refused to pardon him. I have never slandered Cao Pi, you can't stop being with someone just because he is close to your brother and not close to you, right? This kind of possessiveness is different from that of kindergarten children.But Cao Pi refused. In the end, Yang Jun committed suicide. Before he died, he said plainly: "In order to prevent the ancestors from being stained, and the family is to blame, Jun knows the crime!"

So the countdown to Bao Xun's tragedy has already begun.

But I have to say that Bao Xun is timid, and timidity has its advantages. He acts very cautiously, so you can't find any mistakes.

But the problem is that just because he is cautious does not mean that the people related to him are also cautious.

Cao Pi failed to conquer Wu for the last time. On the way back, he was stationed in Chenliu.In a hurry, Chen Liu didn't prepare the roads to Cao Pi's residence, marching and fighting, everything was kept simple, those roads were just set up signs.Sun Yong, the prefect of Chenliu, accidentally stepped on the "way of the Son of Heaven" when he saw him, and was reported, and the dossier was sent to Bao Xun.Bao Xun carefully checked various regulations and precedents, and ruled that "no report should be made" according to the rule. As a result, the person who reported the report went all the way to Cao Pi. Cao Pi immediately said that Bao Xun was covering up, and ordered Ting Wei to implicate Bao Xun. Ting Wei said that he should be sentenced to five years in prison.

Later, Wu Zhi and others and Sima Yi said with emotion that if the matter ends here, maybe everything can be redeemed, but some people really don't know how to accept it when they see it.

Sima Yi pinched a peony in the garden, handed it to Sima Qinghe who ran out, and said to Ji Zhong, some things can't be assumed, and some things don't need to be assumed.

In short, Bao Xun did not serve his sentence in the end, and the three officials went to Cao Pi to argue and wanted to be fined according to the law. Cao Pi was furious, and directly said a heartbreaking sentence:

"Xun has no job, but you want to indulge him!"

Everyone trembled when they heard this sentence. It turned out that Bao Xun's death was already doomed. From the moment he offended Cao Pi, every day he lived was actually a profit.

"Xun is dead, and the family has no money left." Xin Pi sighed to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi didn't say yes or no, in her heart, making herself poor is not something she can do.

After watching a lot of wars and war preparations, Sima Yi deeply felt that honest officials who couldn't get money were all nonsense.

By the way, I heard that there was an iron peddler who made a fortune in Chang'an. He was remembered by many people because he was extremely beautiful.what is his nameOh, yes, it's called Shibao.

Simpi saw that Sima Yi was absent-minded: "Your Majesty... intends to reverse the case for Xun."

"No." Sima Yi rejected the proposal without even thinking about it, "Bao Xun's death penalty was decided by the late emperor himself. Now that the late emperor has not been in power for a long time, your majesty recognizes the late emperor's decision as an unjust case. How can the late emperor punish himself? Your Majesty Why are you here?"

"The first emperor was busy with state affairs, so it was inevitable that he would be overlooked for a while. Xun was a clean and honest man, and the people had a high reputation. When he heard of his death, the court and the people all cried bitterly, thinking that he had lost his virtuousness. Now your majesty wants to obey the heaven and respond to others, and for him, the court and the world are overjoyed. , the general should also pay attention to the public opinion."

"'The people can be taught, but not taught', what do they know! It's just hearsay, and they think they are upright. What Bao Xun did, the first emperor has already concluded, so there is no need to say more."

Seeing Sima Yi's tough attitude, Xin Pi felt rather embarrassed, and twitched his mustache: "General Zhendong and the other three all agree with this, why should General Fujun be like this?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Sima Yi laughed loudly, "Xin Shizhong is lying to me. General Zidan will be the first to deny the late emperor's words. I am afraid that Chen Wenchang will have to think about it. The so-called three people are probably only Cao Wenlie. Alone."

Simpi was speechless. When Cao Rui raised this matter, Cao Xiu was the only one who immediately agreed.

"General, to be honest, this is His Majesty's intention. You can't resist the order, can you?"

"Xin Shizhong, what is the purpose?"

With a cold voice, a young man walked in with ginger tea, it was Master Sima, Xin Pi couldn't help but shivered when he heard the voice.

"If Your Majesty has a will, my father will act according to the order. Otherwise - what you say is useless, today abolishing the previous emperor's argument, rehabilitating Bao Xun, tomorrow will abolish Taizu Wu Emperor's decision, and make Kong Wenju mediocre? I heard that there are many more people calling for grievances for Kong Wenju than for Bao Xun."

Master Sima put down the ginger tea and spoke aggressively, and Simpi's sweat immediately came down.

"Master, don't be rude! You go out first."

Sima Shi withdrew, and Xin Pi couldn't stay any longer, so he could only leave.

At the court meeting the next day, Sima Yi knew there was going to be a fierce fight.

Sure enough, Cao Rui asked this question on the spot, and Cao Xiu immediately agreed.

Chen Qun and Cao Zhen were silent.

Cao Rui glanced at him: "Sima Yi, what do you think?"

Even if it is the emperor, it is disrespectful to call people by their first and last names.

"I don't think so." Sima Yi still said what he said to Simpi yesterday.

"why?"

"Why? Didn't Shizhong Xin bring the minister's opinion to His Majesty yesterday?" Sima Yi said with a little irony.Cao Pi has only been lying in Shouyang for a few days, and Cao Rui can't wait to change course.Sima Yi thought so, but he didn't want Cao Pi to ruin his father's policy foundation after Cao Cao passed away, although Cao Pi was not as anxious as Cao Rui.

"presumptuous!"

"It hasn't been long since the late emperor's grand journey. Your majesty has acted like this. How will you face the late emperor when you sue the temple!"

"I don't need you to talk about my family affairs!"

"Your Majesty was entrusted by the late Emperor to manage the government and stabilize the country! Your Majesty's family affairs are the affairs of Wei's state! How can I not be polite to admonish you! Your Majesty does not worry about the funeral, and I must not worry about seeing the late Emperor underground in a hundred years!"

"You..." Cao Rui really wanted to make a case, but he is the emperor now.

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Xia Houxuan looked at everyone and didn't talk too much. As Cao Rui's aunt and cousin, he felt that he had to talk. Besides, he didn't like Sima Yi so much. He never understood why Xia Houshang agreed to marry his daughter to Master Sima.

"General Fujun, I remember that when Emperor Taizu Wu was here, he spoke highly of you, saying that you were not a person who lived under others for a long time, but you said just now that you were worried about seeing the late emperor in the underground after a hundred years. Xuan Bucai, may I ask you, how do you want to see him?" Did the first emperor go underground? Do you bring the rich and powerful Wei state to meet the late emperor, or bring a devastated Wei state to meet the late emperor? Or, do you not want to bring Wei state to meet the late emperor at all?"

Sima Yi stared at Xia Houxuan dead: "In the early days, before Your Majesty, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

"The matter of Bao Xun has been publicly discussed by the ruling and opposition parties. The late emperor accidentally made a mistake and killed him by mistake. Now His Majesty is speaking out widely, following the good of all people, and wanting to avenge his injustice. The ruling and opposition parties all regard His Majesty as the Holy Lord, and regard this matter as an arbitrariness. The general Obstructing it in every possible way is to stir up resentment and anger in the world, and use His Majesty as the master? If this causes turmoil in all directions again, the general—the crime is heinous."

Xia Houxuan added an exaggerated sigh at the end.

"How can a Bao Xun cause turmoil in all directions? In the beginning, you thought highly of Bao Xun!"

However, Xia Houxuan's words about getting on the job and going online won Cao Rui's approval.

In Cao Rui's heart, Sima Yi thought so.

He slowly walked down the steps, walked up to Sima Yi, and bent down. He vaguely remembered that he had never been so close to Sima Yi.

"If you don't mention it at the beginning, I still forgot...'Eagle sees the wolf' and 'inhuman minister', Emperor Taizu is right, you have always spared no effort to destroy my Cao family...My emperor sister was forced to death by you , when the father died, you were the closest, and the ministers were not there, so it would be easy for you to do something?"

Sima Yi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"My father is really blind to trust you so much all his life, and even entrusts you with a heavy responsibility before he dies!"

Snapped!

Everyone is stupid.

Cao Rui was astonished beyond measure, he never thought in his life that he would be slapped in the face, not even his father and mother concubine Zhen had touched a finger of him, how dare Sima Yi!

"How dare you say that about the first emperor..." Sima Yi trembled with anger.

Cao Rui suddenly came back to his senses, and he drew his sword furiously: "How dare you..."

"Your Majesty! Calm down, Your Majesty!" Chen Qun was beside him, and he quickly hugged Cao Rui, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Xia Houxuan also came to his senses: "Sima Yi! How dare you despise His Majesty, and... come here! Send Sima Yi to prison and hand him over to the Ting Wei!"

"I see who dares!"

Sima Yi roared so loudly that the warriors didn't dare to step forward.

"I was entrusted with the responsibility of the late emperor. It is also my responsibility to regulate His Majesty's words and deeds. Who of you dare to step forward!"

Cao Pi's name is still easy to use, Cao Rui can naturally have less respect for his father, after all, he is his own son, and he is also the current emperor, so it makes sense, others are not so lucky.

Cao Rui, who was stopped by Chen Qun, finally regained his senses at this time. He straightened his crown angrily, and called on the warriors to drag Sima Yi down: "Sima Yi is pretentious and despises the emperor, and his intentions are obvious! Someone! Drag her down." , Severe interrogation!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down!" Wu Zhi came out to intercede, and a group of others followed him to intercede. Seeing this, Chen Qun also came out and knelt down: "Your Majesty, after all, Sima Yi was entrusted by the late emperor, so we must investigate! "

That means that you are already going to change Dad's punishment. In terms of personnel, let Dad save some face.

"Don't stop any of you today! Someone! Drag Sima Yi down!" Cao Rui was really furious.

Master Sima, who was kneeling behind Sima Yi, suddenly walked to the front without making a sound, knelt down and saluted Cao Rui: "Your Majesty, my father has served two dynasties, and he is old and fatuous, so he behaved improperly just now. Your Majesty, please see that he is old. , Forgive his sins, and let him go home and reflect on himself. I am a son, and I will redeem my sins on behalf of my father. I ask your majesty to forgive me, and my family deeply appreciates your majesty's kindness."

Master Sima's actions made Cao Rui temporarily stop pursuing Sima Yi. He looked at Master Sima and said, "Master Sima, are you willing to atone for your father?"

"Yes, my court has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the ministers should practice it."

Sima Yi looked at Master Sima in surprise: "Master!"

"Okay! Hahahahaha! Okay!" Cao Rui threw the long sword in his hand, "Master Sima, you keep claiming to atone for your father's crimes, can you afford it? What if I sentence you to beheaded?"

Master Sima showed no signs of fear: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your grace."

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qun hurriedly said, "What Sima Ziyuan said is justified, and Sima Yi is certainly guilty. I think he is old, so let's forgive him. Master Sima is willing to make atonement on behalf of his father. His feelings are merciful. Your Majesty will punish him slightly. In the future, it will be a crime and meritorious deed."

"Slight punishment?" Cao Rui had already returned to the steps, sitting upright, but the left side of his face was a little red.

"Yes."

"Okay." Cao Rui agreed very happily, but it was to give Chen Qun some face. Chen Qun just breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Rui's next words made him unable to relax, "Sima Yi is old and stupid, I don't care about her rudeness in front of the palace. Hit out with sticks! Master Sima, I would like to redeem my father's sins. My filial piety is merciful. I will save him from death, but he will not be forgiven for living crimes. Come! Bring Master Sima to the front of the hall, eighty sticks!"

Master Sima kowtowed after hearing the number, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Master! Master!" Seeing his eldest son being carried out by the warrior, Sima Yi began to regret his actions.

So I will regret it too, Sima Yi thought.

She was about to chase after her son, but was stopped by several other warriors. The leader was very polite and said in a low voice, "General Sima, you'd better leave quickly. Your Majesty is in a fit of anger. If you insist on not leaving, Your Majesty will change his mind again. Prince Sheren's beating is useless, and maybe you will pay for it too. If you leave by yourself, we don't need to take out our sticks, and you will walk decently."

"Let's go, Zhongda!" Chen Qun and others also persuaded.

Sima Yi didn't know how she got out of the hall. The wind at the entrance of the hall made her suddenly sober. It seemed that this was the Tongque Terrace in the first year of Huang Chu. It was also the same wind. high tower.

It is now the first year of Taihe.

The sound of the board hitting the body was "bang" and "bang", and Sima Yi's body trembled slightly in rhythm with the slightly dull sound.

Why didn't Master Sima shout?

Will he be killed.

Sima Shi is not dead, although he is considered half dead.

The person who did it did not know who had listened to some expert's advice, but he finally showed mercy. He just beat Sima Shi to a bloody mess, and his legs were cracked, but it was not too bad to be unable to walk. However, in the future For a long time, he had to stay in bed.

Master Sima was carried home, and went directly into the courtyard where he lived. All the servants were driven out, and Xia Houhui was also kicked out by him saying "Get out", tears kept falling, partly because he was frightened by the terrible injury Half of it was because of Master Sima's attitude, and she felt sorry for her being pregnant at this time.

"It's none of your business, let's go, give me the medicine." Sima Yi sent away his daughter-in-law and servants, and came to give medicine to his son alone.

Master Sima definitely didn't want to see these people now, especially Xia Houhui, those few words of Xia Houxuan really added fuel to the fire in the court.

Sima Yi sat next to his son who seemed to be in a coma, and lifted the blood-stained brocade quilt. His buttocks and thighs were horrific. It must be said that he had been treated urgently in the palace.

Having been in the army for many years, Sima Yi had some experience with various injuries. She carefully unwrapped the white cloth that had been simply bandaged, applied the ointment to the injured part, and then wrapped it up with a new clean white cloth.

"Father..." Sima Shi didn't really faint.

"Ok?"

"You don't have to feel sorry for me...for me..."

"Father didn't."

"I understand...it's your son..."

"No," Sima Yi interrupted Master Sima, "In this world, only you and Zhao'er are my sons."

Sima Shi was very relieved, he hooked the corners of his mouth at an angle where no one could see.

Sima Zhao was picking at the door at this time. He had just come back from fooling around, and encountered such a big incident. He heard that his brother was beaten by Cao Rui.

"Zhaoer! Come in"

Sima Zhao was exposed by Sima Yi, so he had no choice but to walk in: "Father, brother."

Before Sima Zhao asked his elder brother what was going on as usual, Sima Yi asked him first: "Who is the child who brought you back today?"

"Ah... eh?"

Sima Zhao didn't understand for a moment.

"I asked who you fooled around with, and they all came home." Sima Yi asked such a serious question but spoke very flatly, and his hands did not relax at all.

"That..." Sima Zhao didn't have any mental preparations, and he didn't know what to say when he was forced to ask such a question suddenly.

"It's Yuan Ji." In the end, Sima Shi answered for him, with the same flat tone as his father.

"Is it Wang Su's daughter?"

"Yes."

Sima Zhao stared dumbfounded at his father and brother discussing his affairs in an irrelevant tone.

"You stay away from other people's daughters in the future." Sima Yi said.

It took Sima Zhao a long time to realize that Sima Yi was talking about him.

"When something like this happens at home, don't drag others down." After taking the medicine, Sima Yi smartly wrapped a medicine bottle, got up and left.

Sima Zhao was left standing there inexplicably.

The author has something to say:

Shi Bao is Shi Chong's father.Shi Chong was the one who fought for wealth with Wang Kai.

Congratulations to Wang Yuanji, Empress of Jin Civilization, who is online.According to historical records, she was only about 10 years old at this time... Fortunately, the historical materials did not highlight her gentleness and proficiency, and the author was finally able to add her to the "sturdy Western Jin feminist group" according to the established content.
