Days are everlasting

Before Sima Yi conquered Liaodong, he and Cao Rui analyzed various situations, and finally he said that the Liaodong issue that had plagued Wei for so many years could be resolved in about a year.

After Sima Yi led the troops to the expedition, the head of the Sima family became the Sima division again.

After Cao Rui asked Sima Shi to raise the prince, it didn't mean that he didn't care about this son anymore. He still visited Sima's house often, but he just didn't take him back to the palace to raise him.

The little prince who was raised in Sima's house was indeed very healthy and lovely. Compared with his elder brother, Anping mourning king Cao Yin who died within one year of his birth, his health was even more excellent.

Cao Rui's attitude towards the Sima family was still hesitant at first. He deliberately used the Duke of Zhou as a comparison and repeatedly tested Sima Yi, who was an old minister of Cao Wei, but later changed his attitude and praised Sima Yi very much. Count the days and wait", what else is "I have two Sima Yis, so why worry about it".

Yuan refers to Gongsun Yuan, and it can be counted as Cao Rui's confidence in Sima Yi. What is there to worry about?" This is really a great compliment to Sima Yi and Cao Rui's trust in Sima Yi.

But with Cao Rui's son being raised by Sima's family, Master Sima can guarantee that this emotional card can still be played well.

In fact, unlike Emperor Wei Ming who had always favored Cao Yu, the father of the last emperor of Cao Wei, Cao Huan, as a general, Cao Rui now does not need the lobbying of his confidants, but is ready to reuse Sima Yi and entrust him with his funeral.

interesting.

Sima Shi curled up his lips. After confirming that Fairy Meng, who was still quite favored in the palace and became more famous after Cao Shao was born, was a woman who traveled through time, he compared many changes that were inconsistent with history with that woman's. Existence is equated.

It's ridiculous to say that as a time traveler, Sima Shi can only make his own life better, and it is actually through the hands of a woman who has no great interest in changing history to change history by a large margin.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the direction of this changed history is also according to Master Sima's original plan.

In the second year of Jingchu, Sima Yi pacified Liaodong, killed Gongsun Yuan and his son Gongsun Xiu, and released Gongsun Gong who was under house arrest by Gongsun Yuan.

Gongsun Gong is still behind Cao Wei's Ping Guohou position, and everyone knows that he has no heirs. When he was in power, he was betrayed by his subordinates and his nephew, let alone when he was not in power.

Gongsun Gong is not threatening, and it is precisely because he is not threatening that Cao Wei can use him to brush up his reputation for being generous.

Sima Shi sneered and said nothing. If he really treated people generously, the flashy people would still be wasted.

But after he tentatively raised this question with Cao Rui, Cao Rui was actually ready to make an exception, and he even specially issued an imperial edict.

Cao Rui's original words were too official, but the gist was very clear. The fault of pompous scholars was that they were not pragmatic and did not conform to the Confucian classics advocated by the Wei officials.

But it doesn't matter, now he can lift the ban a little bit, didn't the Great Wei also have military positions in addition to civil positions, this era is still divided into civil and military, and a large part of people can take up military positions after holding civil positions.

The Jin Dynasty also had this problem. The official Wang Xizhi, known as Wang Youjun in the world, served as the right general. However, most of the impressions of him were that he was a master of calligraphy and a man of culture.

Although there are also some old-school scholarly families who are heirs of Confucian classics who only hold civil positions, it is impossible for the young people implicated in the vanity case to have such freedom.

Getting promoted with military merit is actually a way to get rich quickly.

Soon, Cao Rui decreed that Sima Shi was transferred to the military Sima, and his father Sima Yi was an official, ranking more than a thousand stones.

Cao Rui took Master Sima as an example to show a group of people their way out, and for a while, the number of Gui Xun enlisted in the army increased significantly.

However, although it was the Three Kingdoms era, several parties were still living in peace during this period. The army under Sima Yi's command is considered to be the army that has fought the most in Wei today.

Even if you want to earn military merit, it's not so easy to earn.

As his father's subordinate officer, Sima Shi finally led the army and stayed away from home for many years like his father.

The little prince Cao Shao who has not been supplied with spiritual spring water for a long time is not bad. Although he is not as white and tender as Sima Shi was at home, he is still a very healthy child.

In the second year of Jingchu, after seeing his son again, Cao Rui was finally relieved, and announced that he would make Cao Shao, who had just turned three years old, King of Han.

In another three months, in the first month of the third year of Jingchu, King Shao of Han was granted the title of King of Jin.

Although children under the age of seven are still very likely to die young, Cao Shao is such a fat child, it seems that he is not short-lived, and Cao Rui naturally placed infinite hopes on him.

Cao Rui's hopes were all pinned on his own son, and the status of his adopted sons Cao Xun, King of Qin, and Cao Fang, King of Qi were a bit embarrassing.

Although Master Sima knows the future, and knows that their Sima family is very good in the future, just look at his father Sima Yi, the Taiwei, who leads the army all year round and doesn't go home all the year round. It's a little better, but it's not much worse in fact. If it wasn't for the tricks of fate, the Sima family really wouldn't have become the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.

Although Master Sima had some ideas in mind and was making some preparations, it was really not conspicuous.

Now the most powerful people in Cao Wei are not Cao Rui's confidantes-such as Qin Lang, Cao Zhao and others-nor Cao Wei's clan, but Zhongshu Jian, Ling Liu Fang and Sun Zi.

These two have served in the central government since the beginning of the Cao Wei Dynasty, and have mastered the emperor's edicts and letters since the time of Cao Cao. If you have to compare people, probably only the power of the ten permanent servants at the end of the Han Dynasty can match them. compared to.

And they were very cautious, except for the fact that their sons—Liu Xi and Sun Mi in Sanyuli were their sons respectively—was involved in the turmoil of the vanity case and made them a little disgraced, they could hardly catch any other mistakes. .

Sima Yi was also very friendly with them, but it wasn't because Sima Yi made friends with himself. Sima Yi himself was a leading foreign minister stationed abroad all the year round. What made Cao Rui suspicious was not the so-called disobedience, but the fact that every emperor had a great reputation. Cao Rui, who has become more and more suspicious in recent years, can testify that Sima Yi is really a good minister at the level of a lone minister.

Therefore, Sima Yi has a good relationship with Liu Fang and Sun Zi, and the two adults made friends by themselves.

If Master Sima hadn't really had the idea to make the Jin Dynasty and Wei Dynasty a reality, I'm afraid that if you want to complain about the scourge of the old Cao's family, you can't see it, and it is really a pill.

Having said that, the two most trusted ministers of the Cao Wei imperial family actually had the same surnames as their opponents. It can only be said that history is so magical.

The reason why Master Sima wanted to mention these two was because Liu Xi and Sun Mi, who hadn’t been in touch for a long time, suddenly sent a letter to contact him one day. The meaning behind the words was that the three of them should keep in touch in the future. These three words are written on the face.

In the third year of Jingchu, it was already February, and Cao Rui had already escaped the curse of dying on the first day of the first lunar month. Master Sima thought he would persist for a few more years for his own son, but unexpectedly he persisted for a month.

The main reason is that Fairy Meng, who was supposed to be slaughtered by angry Cao Rui because Shenshui had no effect on Cao Rui as recorded in the history books, was still alive and kicking, Master Sima thought that Cao Rui's death date would be greatly changed.

However, if his physical condition is poor, the reason why Cao Shao was transferred from King Han to King Jin in just three months is obvious.

King Jin's title is more expensive than that of King Han's. Although both of them are one-word titles, Jin's style is higher than Han's.

Cao Shao barely turned four years old after a new year, and the age difference with Qin Wang Cao Xun and Qi Wang Cao Fang is not too big, but judging from the age of young children, the gap is still obvious.

Cao Rui has lost his mind to raise these two children. The only thing that the court can be sure of is that these two children must be the sons of the clan. guess.

Cao Rui ordered Sima Yi to enter the capital, and by the way, he also mentioned Sima Shi, whose position is not seen in front of all the court officials, and asked Sima Yi to bring Sima Shi with him.

Although I don't know if Cao Rui will choose a Gu Ming minister and make several changes like in history, Sima Shi and his father Sima Yi still chose to gallop day and night and return to Luoyang.

Poor Sima Yi is considered an old bone at his age, and he has to run for so long, so it can be seen that he is really going all out.

When he arrived at the place, Cao Rui's consciousness was still clear.

The candidates he selected for Minister Gu Ming were a little more than the final ones in history, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, and he also added Qin Lang and Cao Zhao, his trusted confidantes.

Compared with Cao Rui's two confirmed candidates for Tuogu in the official history, Cao Yu, the King of Yan who had resigned, was missing, and Xia Houxian, who was not so strong in the background, was missing, but the number of four Gu Ming ministers was enough. .

In the end, there was only one Master Sima left, who was not Tuo Gu. Although he was good friends with Cao Rui in the early years, he became a stranger after the vanity case. It was really embarrassing to be in Cao Rui's Nine Dragon Palace.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Rui ordered someone to summon King Qin and King Qi, he asked a woman to hug Cao Shao.

Although Master Sima didn't know that woman, he could tell from her clothes that this was the birth mother of Jin Wang Cao Shao, Empress Guo Shi.

Cao Rui had already entrusted all the affairs before, making Cao Fang, the youngest king of Qi among the two kings, as the crown prince, and asked Gu Ming ministers to help the young master stabilize Cao Wei's country.

After explaining, he stretched out his hand to Master Sima again, and when Master Sima held it, he waved at Cao Shao with the other hand, and after Cao Shao also extended his hand, he put their two hands together: "The king of Jin is young. , I entrusted it to the Qing family in the past, and now I hope you will take care of it more, Ziyuan."

Master Sima understood, and shook Cao Rui's hand vigorously before he hugged Cao Shao: "I will live up to your majesty's trust."

Sima Yi over there is holding Cao Fang, the crown prince Cao Rui established before his death, and Sima Shi is holding Cao Rui's biological son Cao Shao here. The scene is similar, but the inside is different.

Cao Rui called again in a breathless voice: "Prince, Prince, I entrust you to the King of Jin, and I will treat the Queen Mother and King Jin kindly in the future!"

Cao Rui has changed his title, instead of calling Mrs. Guo the Empress Dowager, it is really time to run out of fuel.

Cao Fang naturally should be, and all the people in the Nine Dragon Hall also had red eyes and fell to their knees.

After a while, Cao Rui probably lost his mind again, and suddenly asked someone to bring him the "Shenshui" that was placed beside him.

Sima Shi was the closest, so he stretched out his hand to bring the water to him in a kneeling position, Cao Rui stretched out his hand and insisted on holding it himself, but unexpectedly most of the bowl of water poured out and landed on Sima Shi's shoulder, and the front lapel was also More than half wet.

Cao Rui looked at Sima Shi's shoulder and murmured "God's will", but there was silence in the hall, a group of ministers stood not far from him, so they all heard it, except for a few young children who didn't know anything, everyone else was shocked when they heard it. turned pale.

Sima Shi was wearing a dark robe—after all, the emperor was in this state, it’s not good to dress too festively, but it’s also not good to have too plain a color—after getting wet with water, the color tends to be black, black shoulders, It is "black shoulder".

In the Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou Zhao was handed down from generation to generation. The Duke of Zhou in the period of King Huan of Zhou was named Hei Jian. King Huan loved his youngest son, Ke, and entrusted this son to Duke Hei Jian before his death, so that he would "become the king" after Prince Ji Tuo succeeded to the throne. Make great efforts to fulfill what King Huan of Zhou wanted to see, "Brothers will end up with younger brothers", and let Wang Zike become the King of Zhou.

Three years after King Zhouzhuang ascended the throne, Hei Jian, the Duke of Zhou, was ready to carry out the last emperor's will, to make Prince Ke King of Zhou and kill King Zhouzhuang.

Of course, Zhou Gongheijian failed in the end.

Facing the eyes of a group of people in the hall, Sima Shi only replied calmly: "The minister's virtue is poor, he can only be called a Marquis!"

The author has something to say: Every time I see Zhou Gong Heijian wanting to establish the concubine Prince Ke and kill the decent prince Zhouzhuang King because of the will of Zhou Huan, the stupid author deeply feels that you Zhou Yaowan is not without reason 233333
