Tian Yan

Sima Yi turned his head and looked at him quietly, but Cao Pi tasted provocation from the black and white eyes.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, but... But you want me to believe that Cao Zhang, who is as strong as a cow, will suddenly get colic and die of a sudden illness?" Cao Pi gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, "I don't believe it, to put it bluntly, he The one who died can be said to be timely, and timely is too false..."

"Your Majesty doesn't believe in heaven or people. In Your Majesty's heart, the only person you can trust is yourself, right?"

Blood oozes from the corner of Sima Yi's mouth again, but he is surprisingly calm, strode around Cao Pi, and walked straight out of the hall.

Cao Pi could have continued to stop him, but seeing Sima Yi like this, he suddenly didn't know what else to say, he just stood where he was and let Sima Yi go silently.

Did Cao Zhang's death really have nothing to do with Sima Yi?Is it really just a coincidence?

Cao Pi recalled what he heard outside Cao Chong's mourning hall that day. Sima Yi was obviously innocent, but under Cao Cao's power, he admitted that he killed him as if collapsed.It's not that he couldn't understand Sima Yi's mood at that time, after all, they used to have such a tacit understanding, and when they found out that they were betrayed by him, it was probably nothing more than heartfelt grief.

So today, can Sima Yi's words be believed?

Cao Pi sighed. There was another reason for his anger. Cao Zhang's death was very strange. The world must have thought that he couldn't tolerate this brother, so he did it badly.

Who would believe it, who would believe it, in fact, he didn't want to kill this brother at all...

Sima Yi had never felt this way before, and his mind went blank all the way, and his heart was stuffy.Unable to wait to walk out of the palace gate, Sima Yi turned a corner, found a secluded corridor, and sat down.

Cao Pi, Sima Yi knew that although his affection for him was no longer what it used to be, but it was the first time he was distrusted by Cao Pi.

Frustrated, or, chilled?

What happened today, Cao Pi did have enough reasons to doubt himself, just like Cao Cao thought the same after Cao Chong died.It's just that once Cao Zhang died, Cao Pi's reputation would inevitably be damaged. How could he, Sima Yi, do such a stupid thing that hurt the enemy eight hundred and himself one thousand?

Unless... Cao Pi has great doubts about his purpose of staying here.

Sima Yi really couldn't even laugh, Cao Pi wouldn't let him go if he left, but if he stayed, he would attract suspicion.

Cao Pi, what exactly do you want him to do.

What should he do for himself?

Sima Yi raised his head, the silence of the blue sky was endless.

Cao Pi was staring at the sword on the ground in a daze, when he suddenly heard the report from the servant, Cao Zhi begged to see him.

Cao Pi hurriedly called for a biography, only to see that Cao Zhi was dressed in a filial piety, his face was not as bright as before, his eyes were black, and he looked very haggard.

When Cao Zhi entered the hall, he saw the king's sword stuck on the ground at a glance, but his eyebrows moved slightly: "Your Majesty."

Cao Pi hurried forward to help him, but Cao Zhi was stubborn and refused to get up: "My brother has something to ask."

"What's the matter?"

Cao Zhi raised his head: "My brother, please confer the land of Yongqiu."

Cao Pi felt that something was wrong: "Yongqiu is poor and far away from Xuchang. What do you want to do there?"

"I heard that there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the folk customs are simple and honest. It is an excellent place to live for a long time."

"You..." Cao Pi was shocked when he heard the words, "You want to leave Xuchang?"

"Yes, please allow your Majesty." Cao Zhi bowed his head and bowed again.

Cao Pi shook his hands, took a step back and pointed at Cao Zhi: "Even you think Cao Zhang was killed by me, right?"

Cao Zhi raised his head, his big eyes were clear, and he looked at Cao Pi for a while: "When Yang Xiu died, the third brother also said such a thing, I don't believe the third brother. Now that the third brother is gone, the second brother will say such things... It's not that I don't believe my second brother, it's that I no longer dare to believe what I hear and see!"

Cao Pi closed his eyes slightly, turned around and returned to his seat: "I don't agree. The third brother just died, and you are leaving again. What do you tell the courtiers to think of me?"

Cao Zhi was also silent, but still refused to let go, and the two brothers faced each other in the hall like this.

"Brother Zhi, I originally wanted to share all the soldiers and horses led by my third brother with you."

Cao Zhi shook his head: "My younger brother is just a worthless literati, so I dare not accept it."

Cao Pi sighed: "Forget it, you don't have the heart, and I won't force you... But brother Zhi, don't go, wait for half a year, just half a year, okay? I beg you."

Cao Pi's tone was pleading, and Cao Zhi felt sour in his heart: "Your brother obeys."

Cao Zhi bowed up again, walked to the door, and was stopped by Cao Pi again: "Brother Zhi, please call me second brother again."

Cao Zhi turned around, Cao Pi was still sitting on the seat, but leaned forward, his eyes were very earnest.

"Cooking the beans burns the Osmunda, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron; they grow from the same root, so why is it too urgent to fry each other?" Cao Zhi's tears rolled down, "Your Majesty, pay attention to your health, this is related to the fate of our Great Wei Kingdom, and the rest...my brother Retire."

After all, leave in a hurry.

Cao Pi leaned on his seat as if exhausted, watching Cao Zhi's figure gradually drift away, and finally disappeared in a patch of jagged palace walls and green tiles.

Boil the beans to burn the bean dichotoma, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron.

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

Cao Zhi didn't call him second brother at the end, but just left him this poem, and Cao Pi read it line by line, until tears flowed all over his face.

He also thought of Cao Chong, who died young, and Sima Yi, who took the blame for him. Perhaps, all of this was retribution.

It's just that he has no time to regret it, he is the emperor now, shouldering the honor and disgrace of the Great Wei Kingdom.

He has no regrets!

Cao Pi picked up the teacup on the table and drank it, his hands trembling, the tea choked into his throat, causing him to cough violently.The teacup dropped from his hand and shattered to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The next day, Cao Pi handed over the military talisman to Sima Yi, officially taking over the troops of Cao Zhang's troops.Although no official appointment has been made yet, there is no doubt that Sima Yi's power is in full swing.

Those who waited and watched before saw that Sima Yi not only sat firmly in the position of Shang Shuling, but now also holds military power in his hands, some were eager to curry favor, and some scoffed.

Needless to say, those who fawn on, and those who sneer, the reason is that Cao Zhang's death is unclear, and the biggest beneficiary is Sima Yi, so there are not a few people who scold him as a traitor.

Sima Yi knew that a large part of the reason why Cao Pi gave him the military power was to allow him to bear the world's speculation.

Even so, Sima Yi gladly accepted the soldier talisman.The box containing the military talisman is heavy, comparable to the weight it carries.

Cao Cao, have you seen it, this is me who was once stepped under by you, holding the power of one person under one person and over ten thousand people in my hand!

Sima Yi stood in the hall, his eyes pierced through the faces of the officials, looking at the unreachable blue sky outside the hall.

Sima Zhao went out to play by himself, and when he came back, he had a sad face: "Brother, they called me the son of a treacherous minister, so they won't play with me!"

Master Sima frowned: "Who is it?"

"It's Cui Yan's grandsons! Gui grandson!" Sima Zhao stomped his feet fiercely, "I came back to copy guys, I want to kill them!"

"Wait." Master Sima quickly stopped him, "Although Cui Yan is dead, His Majesty is doing their family a great honor. Daddy has just been promoted, so don't cause trouble."

"Then what should I do, just watch them shit on my head?" Sima Zhao was furious.

Sima Shi pondered for a moment: "It's not a gentleman not to take revenge if you have a grudge, let's go for a walk and see what we can do."

The two brothers were walking on the street, dressed brightly and looking fresh, and soon attracted the attention of a group of little beggars.Master Sima gave them a few strings of copper coins, and led them to a secluded place: "Are you quick and efficient?"

"It's neat, flying over the eaves and walls, robbing the rich and giving to the poor!" The little beggars said in unison.

Master Sima raised his eyebrows: "Do the officials dare to move?"

The little beggars were stunned for a while, and a little beggar who seemed to be the leader stepped forward: "That depends on what you are going to do."

Sima Shi smiled: "Pee in his water tank."

"Cough, so it's about this..." The little beggar was also shrewd, and immediately put away his smile, "Of course it's not a problem for ordinary people, but it's more difficult for officials."

Of course Master Sima understood what he meant, he just put his hand in his sleeve, looked at the little beggar's staring eyes, but withdrew his hand again: "Do you all remember the looks of my two brothers?"

The little beggar shook his head quickly: "I don't remember. Besides, our brother is not in this Xuchang city for nothing, and we have never missed a shot. Even if the luck is bad, we still don't know who is in power? ?”

Only then did Master Sima smile comfortably, explain a few more words, and gave them a piece of silver to settle the matter.

"Brother, just piss in his water tank and that's it?" Sima Zhao pouted, "It's not worthwhile for us to spend so much effort."

Sima Shi smiled slightly: "It's not at all cheap for them. Who are those little beggars? Can they take the goat after trying so hard to get into his house? Besides, this matter is endless."

"Brother, what else do you have to do?"

"The grown-ups don't know who did it, but those grandchildren must have guessed it. I guess they will have to wait for an opportunity to retaliate in a few days." Master Sima played with his temple hair, "They are simple-minded, so they must do it themselves. Let's go home Set it up and let them suffer from being dumb."

A few days later, Cui's house was stolen, and the water tank was extremely smelly, and the thieves did something bad before they left.

Fortunately, what was lost was not a valuable item, the Cui family only strengthened the guard at night, but the younger generations of the Cui family felt that something was wrong.

That water tank can be so embarrassing, at least half of the tank has been pissed.Where did the thieves get so much urine, it is clear that seeking money is second, and the water tank is their goal.

After much deliberation, they locked on the Sima family. Anyway, they didn't deal with the Sima family boys. Regardless of whether they did it or not, it is always worthwhile to give them a pot of wine.

Moreover, it can be said that the Sima Mansion is basically undefended, and it is not difficult to get in.

After discussing it properly, the boys took advantage of the night to walk, not wanting to both of them be completely ruined.

They walked around the Sima family's house, only found a place under a wall where they could step on their feet, climbed up, but the place where they landed was covered with a thick layer of lard, and they stumbled and fell into it. into a large jar below.Those who came up from behind didn't know what to do, they just wanted to save people, so they also fell in one after another.

The big vat was filled with chili water, and the boys finally crawled out after suffering so much that they couldn't even open their eyes, so they had to cry for their father and mother.Shouted for a while, but found that no one came.

Sima Mansion, no one is here!

At the same time, the two brothers were sleeping on the bed with Zhong Hui at Zhong's house.

"I'm talking about you guys. I usually can't invite you all. What's wrong today?" Zhong Hui walked around the yard with a candle in his hand, "Your house is haunted?"

"Our house has been broken into." Sima Zhao smiled secretly, "Don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night, just go to sleep!"

The Cui family boys were not found by Sima Yi who returned home until dawn the next day, the Cui family was ashamed, and the children never dared to speak wild words again.

Sima Shi was calm, Sima Zhao was jumping for joy, and Zhong Hui was deep in thought.Because this plan is very vicious, but also cautious, Sima Yi has to re-examine the eldest son.
