The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Master Sima brought his father back.

Sima Yi helped the elder son's hand and stumbled to the yard, and saw the second son Sima Zhao squatting silently in front of the cage, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the hair off the neck of the chicken. The two chickens in the cage were frightened by him. Flapping its wings and shouting "uh uh", it hid back.

Sima Yi wanted to call his second son, but couldn't make a sound.

Sima Zhao turned his head to look at his father and elder brother with a tacit understanding. The eyes of a young man who was usually full of vigor turned out to be extremely terrified.

"Second brother."

Sima Zhao actually ignored his elder brother, he turned his head and plucked out a few more chicken feathers.

Sima Yi immediately understood that although her second son did not serve in the court, he must have known about it, the so-called father and son bond.

It was the long-crowing rooster that Cao Pi gave him.

On May [-]th of the seventh year of Huangchu, Cao Pi died of illness and was posthumously named Emperor Wen.

On May [-]th, Cao Pi urgently ordered Sima Yi to enter the palace.

Outside the palace gate, Cao Zhen, General of the Chinese Army, Chen Qun, General of the Town Army, Cao Xiu, General of Zhengdong, and Sima Yi passed by.

Cao Xiu glanced at Sima Yi contemptuously: "How can the Sima family be so virtuous, Your Majesty treats you so courteously! It's just a right servant, and he can be entrusted by the emperor!"

Sima Yi remained silent. Cao Pi's situation was more important than Cao Xiu's ridicule. Besides, Cao Xiu's son Cao Zhao was almost killed by Master Sima.

But the servants leading the way for Sima Yi must not make irresponsible remarks on the emperor's authority. No matter how bad Sima Yi is, he was ordered to enter the palace!

"General Zhengdong must not be rude! Your Majesty has ordered Sima Yi to be the General of the Fujun Army, and his title is equal to that of you."

Cao Xiu couldn't believe it: "He! He's just a civil servant! How can he lead the army as a general!"

"This is His Majesty's will!"

"Eunuch, please lead the way. Don't make His Majesty wait too long." Sima Yi stopped the possible continuation of the verbal dispute, and then the servant left Cao Xiu and others, and hurriedly led the way.

"Ningchen!" Cao Xiu looked at Sima Yi's back and wanted to spit hard, but thought that this was outside the palace gate after all, so he held back.

And Cao Zhen looked worried: "In the past, Emperor Taizu Wu thought that the Sima clan could not be left behind, and he killed several people. He never entrusted him with important tasks, especially forbidding him to lead the army. How can your majesty designate him as a general of the Fujun today?"

"The prince is newly established. If you don't get close to the Sima family internally, and we have checks and balances externally, it's okay." Chen Qun comforted.

But no one really believed in this comfort, including Chen Qun himself.

Sima Yi walked quickly into the bedroom, where there was a smell of medicine.

Cao Pi was lying on the couch, his face pale like a dead man's. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he reluctantly turned his head and saw Sima Yi.

"Your Majesty, General Fujun is here."

Sima Yi walked to the side of the couch, knelt down and saluted: "I..."

"No..." Cao Pi said to the servant, "Call the prince, you all go out...don't leave anyone here, I want to talk to Zhongda..."

All the servants withdrew, and Cao Pi said to Sima Yi, "I want to sit up."

Although Sima Yi was worried that Cao Pi's actions would increase the burden on his body, but looking at Cao Pi's eyes, he reluctantly obeyed.She tried her best to hug Cao Pi's upper body, and put a cushion at one end of the couch for Cao Pi to lean on.

Sima Yi was surprised that Cao Pi was so light.

"I'm going to die..."

Sima Yi silently knelt by the couch and listened to Cao Pi's words.

"Zhongda, aren't you crying?"

Sima Yi looked up at Cao Pi: "Does Your Majesty want to see my minister cry?"

"No, I don't want to see it." Cao Pi shook his head slightly, "I don't want to see you pretending to be sad. It's just that Zidan and the others have cried. I wonder if you will be like them?"

The word "pretending" evokes infinite memories. Sima Yi thought of his own life, as if it started from "pretending": "I have never pretended to be in front of Your Majesty."

"Yes, you have always pretended to be in front of the late emperor, but I was an exception——Zhong Da, does this count as my superiority to the late emperor?"

"What time is it, Your Majesty is still obsessed with competing with the late emperor?"

This tone is so familiar, Cao Pi's blood-colored lips curled up into a smile: "Zhongda, when you were working as a literary officer in the Sikong Mansion, when you were teaching me, you often taught me like this."

Have it?Sima Yi has no recollection. During those days, the details she remembers most clearly are that Cao Pi sat on the side racking his brains to write articles, while she quietly sat beside him peeling grapes and peeling out a crystal clear plate. He piled it up and waited for him to finish his homework. While eating, he said a lot of complaints to her.Because of this experience, she later developed excellent craftsmanship. No matter how fragile the fruit is, she can skillfully peel the fruit without splashing the juice.

But this kind of craftsmanship will probably no longer be useful in the future.

"Zhongda, you are right. When is the time? Let's get down to business. I have already decreed that after my death, I will not be sealed or treed. I will not be buried in a simple burial. I will not be buried together. The location, I am optimistic about the eastern foot of Shouyang Mountain. .”

"If the queen is a thousand years later..."

Cao Pi seemed to think that Sima Yi's question was ridiculous: "I don't have a queen, Zhen was gifted to death by me, and Guo was hated by Ruier all the time, so there is no need to mention other women."

"Isn't that right..."

"I don't want to see those women, but if Zhong Da is willing to be the queen, I will change the edict now."

……

Cao Pi sighed, he knew it would be the result: "Zhongda is not willing, so forget it."

"I actually have one more important thing to say to Zhongda—"

"Rui'er is not very old. Once I go, the elders of the Manchu Dynasty, some of whom are still left by the late emperor, he may not be able to suppress him. Zhongda, you must help him with all your heart. The reason why I summoned you alone after Zidan and others , because of those people, I don’t trust them after all. You are Rui’er’s biological mother, and you won’t watch something happen to him—”

"His Majesty--"

"I haven't finished talking yet," Cao Pi stretched out his hand and grabbed Sima Yi's arm, "Because of this, I will give you another power: If Rui'er has anything wrong, Shi'er and Zhao'er will also be in charge." , anyone can be the emperor, as for the standard of 'bad', it's up to you, Zhong Da."

Sima Yi was shocked: "Your Majesty!"

Cao Pi's expression was very determined, and this expression told Sima Yi that he was not crazy: "I didn't pretend to be in front of you. I can also see what Master is thinking. Zhongda, you really think that you can hide the matter of suppressing Cao Zhao from me. I know I owe my master, so I have made up my mind, I am not partial, they are all my sons, they are just surnames, it doesn't matter if they change or not."

"If the ministers hear your Majesty's words, they will surely die." Sima Yi was terrified.

"This is also what I owe you..."

Suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is here."

Cao Rui pushed open the door and fell down in front of Cao Pi's bed crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying? Rui'er, I entrusted you to Zhongda today. After I pass away, you must treat yourself like your father. You will listen to what Zhongda says, remember?" Cao Pi stopped his son from crying Go down and point to Sima Yi.

"Yes……"

"If you don't listen to me, don't come to see me in the future!" Cao Rui replied not so willingly, and Cao Pi could see it.

"My child dare not! My child must obey my father's teachings."

With Cao Rui's guarantee, Cao Pi sank into the cushion again with peace of mind: "Zhongda, do you remember the rumor about Liu Xuande Baidi City?"

"Uh?"

"When I heard the rumors, I was thinking...what Liu Xuande can do, I can naturally..."

Sima Yi felt speechless, hadn't he changed his heart to compare with this person?

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi: "I'm always better than Liu Xuande... Can Zhongda beat Zhuge Liang?"

Sima Yi suddenly felt choked up. She didn't expect Cao Pi to say that suddenly, how should she answer?

Cao Pi didn't wait for Sima Yi's answer, probably knowing that he couldn't wait, so he suddenly said to Sima Yi: "Zhongda, let me...stay here for a while."

Sima Yi was used to Cao Pi's strange requests, she knelt and walked a few steps, straightened her upper body, hugged Cao Pi, and let Cao Pi put her head on her left shoulder.

"I'm leaving...Zhongda, give me...a comment...how...how have you done...in this life..."

This is a difficult question to answer.

Sima Yi considered it for a while, and then said softly: "Your Majesty is... the best student, because... His Majesty is not weak in both civil and martial arts, and has the strongest comprehensive ability."

"Hehe...that is to say...'Wu is not as good as my father, and I am not as good as my brother'..."

"..."

"I'm not reconciled...40 years...too short...Back then, Zhu Jianping regarded evening...as a day, but fortunately...Zhongda, your lifespan...is not wrong..."

Sima Yi felt Cao Pi's hand on his temple.

"...Zhongda, you have worked hard..."

It was only for a few seconds, and then Sima Yi felt Cao Pi's hand suddenly slipped down, accompanied by her tears.

"His Majesty?"

"Father?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Cao Rui was so surprised that he forgot to cry.

Sima Yi didn't cry. She hugged Cao Pi's body and let out a painful, shrill cry. Cao Rui had never heard such a sound.

Later, the maids and servants waiting outside the door recalled that it was the howl and cry under the moon that only a lone wolf who had lost its cave and companions could make.

Master Sima brought a cup of water to Sima Yi: "Father, drink some hot water."

Sima Yi was sitting in front of the desk, his hands trembling so much that he could hardly hold the water scorpion.

The servant came to report, and a guest asked to see him.

Master Sima looked at Sima Yi: "Father, I'll ask Ah Zhao to come in and accompany you. I'll take care of the guests for you first."

"No need." Sima Yi tugged on his son's sleeve, "Let Zhao'er stay as he pleases, he won't feel well either."

"But……"

Sima Yi closed his eyes: "Father just wants to take it easy and go to see them right away, please invite the visitors to the main hall first."

Perhaps Sima Yi's exhortation was superfluous, because Zhang Chunhua had already issued an order to do so, and she was still educating Xia Houhui next to her: "Remember. There must always be someone in the family who stays awake. When men collapse, women should not collapse."

The author has something to say:

Every important person in Wei Mao's works will change his words before he dies! T_T The author doesn't want this either!Regarding the description of people before death, the author admits that he has exhausted his talents.

Wait... Sun Ce died very neatly, he didn't show up, and Boss Cao was pretty normal... He was a chatterbox, he was a chatterbox...

The title is quite literary and contains a lot of subtext.

"The day of ten thousand years will never be hated" comes from "The Book of the Later Han·Queen Jishang·Empress Mingdema". Ten thousand years is a euphemism for "death". up.

Cao Pi always said "death" in front of Sima Yi, which was intentional by the author, but Cao Pi immediately changed it to "Beng Shi" when facing Cao Rui. There is a problem of closeness here. This is because he got used to it and didn't change it for a while.

"Wu is not as good as his father, and his writing is not as good as his younger brother" is mentioned in Pi Sima's MV "Shou Shou", and I personally think it is a more mainstream view.However, students with high comprehensive scores are often the teacher's darling, because the teacher always thinks that it is better to have a balanced level and stable performance than to be strong and highlight shortcomings.
