Luoyang Taiji Palace.

Today's court meeting has just ended, and the civil and military ministers continue to walk out of the main hall.

Sima Shi's face was pale, and he glared at the Tai Lieutenant Jiang Ji with his only remaining right eye, and his anger was overflowing.

Jiang Ji showed an embarrassed and helpless expression, leaned over to Sima Shi's side, and said, "The eldest prince-" seemed to want to explain something to Sima Shi.

Sima Shi just snorted heavily, brushed his sleeves and walked away, ignoring Jiang Ji at all.

It's no wonder that Sima Shi is so indignant, at the time of today's court meeting, this Jiang Ji actually praised Cao Liang as a flower, what a pillar of the court, what social welfare, what merit is high, Jiang Ji is so old, don't you feel numb at all when he says these words?

Moreover, Jiang Ji also asked the Son of Heaven to ask for the title of Cao Liang, and asked to award Cao Liang the marquis, the hussar general, and the book of the book, believing that only such a prominent official could show his merits.

At first, Sima Shi thought that there was something wrong with his ears, you must know that Jiang Ji and their Sima family have a very close relationship, and the enmity between Cao Liang and the Sima family is well known in the court, and Jiang Ji can't be unaware.

Although Cao Liang's performance in Bingzhou in recent years has indeed been quite eye-catching, quelling the Xiongnu rebellion and repelling the Xianbei invasion, no matter how great his credit is, it can't compare to Sima Yi, can he be praised by Jiang Ji so much?

Sima Shi really doubted that this Jiang Ji had betrayed their Sima family, and turned to Cao Shuang's faction, Cao Liang undoubtedly belonged to Cao Shuang's faction, he had merit, Cao Shuang, as a general, would naturally be rewarded, do you Jiang Ji need to be forced here?

If Cao Shuang really has to push the boat smoothly and seal Cao Liang as such a prominent official, it will be the heaviest blow to the Sima family.

To Sima Shi's surprise, Daddy Sima Yi's attitude was so ambiguous, although he did not support Cao Liang like Jiang Ji, but he did not explicitly oppose it, but kicked the ball to Cao Fang, the son of the dynasty.

Cao Fang ascended the throne at the age of eight, and now he is fourteen years old, but at this time, he is just a decoration, and all the major military affairs in the DPRK and China are decided by the auxiliary ministers Cao Shuang and Sima Yi - in fact, Sima Yi is also a decoration, and now only Cao Shuang has the right to speak in the major affairs of the court.

Sima Yi asked Cao Fang to make a decision, but Cao Fang naturally couldn't make the decision, so he set his sights on Cao Shuang.

And Cao Shuang's attitude made Sima Shi also confused, and he could see that Cao Shuang's expression was a little embarrassed, but he said perfunctorily, this matter will be discussed in the future, and then he announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

Although Sima Shi has the qualifications to attend the court meeting, he has no right to speak on this occasion, so when he walked out of the main hall, Sima Shi was obviously angry, and naturally he would not give Jiang Ji any good looks, he walked quickly to the stop door, the carriage of the Sima family was already waiting there, and Sima Yi also got on the car one step ahead of him.

However, Sima Yi did not leave, but sat in the car with his eyes closed and recuperated, presumably waiting for Sima Shi.

Despite the resentment in his stomach, Sima Shi still didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Sima Yi, he sat opposite Sima Yi respectfully, and he didn't dare to gasp.

The carriage started, left the palace, and walked on the Bronze Camel Street.

In the meantime, Sima Yi was like a wood carving, with his eyes closed and not moving.

To tell the truth, Sima Shi admires his father Sima Yi in his heart, regardless of the big things, he can do Mount Tai collapse in front of him without moving, this calm bearing, Sima Shi also wants to deliberately imitate, but he didn't learn after all.

People have seven emotions and six desires, and naturally they will have a variety of emotions, Sima Shi may be able to calm down in other aspects, but only Cao Liang's matter seems to have become a knot in his heart, and he can't get over this hurdle.

"Father, Taiwei Jiang proposed to promote Cao Liang to a knighthood, why didn't you object?" Sima Shi couldn't hold back after all, and asked Sima Yi softly.

Sima Yi slowly opened his eyes, showed a meaningful smile, and said lightly: "Why should you oppose it for your father?" ”

Sima Shi was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Sima Yi asked him like this, Cao Liang was the great enemy of their Sima family, he used to be lowly and low, and he didn't pose any threat to the Sima family, but now it's different, he has become a feudal official on the side of the herdsman, and even the strong Huns and Xianbei people have not curbed his development momentum.

If it is really as Jiang Ji suggested, Cao Liang's entry into the imperial court this time will inevitably disrupt the original deployment of their Sima family, whether it is from the perspective of personal grievances or the interests of the Sima family, it will not be good news.

"This ......" Sima Shi was really speechless.

Sima Yi said calmly: "Let me tell you the truth, Jiang Zitong was instructed by his father to play the Son of Heaven like this." ”

Sima Shi's right eye was wide open, and he looked at Sima Yi with some surprise, if this matter came from Jiang Ji's idea, it would be understandable, but Sima Yi was the mastermind behind all this, which made Sima Shi a little surprised, unexpected, absolutely too surprising.

"Father, why are you ......?"

Sima Yi said indifferently: "If you want to take it, you must first deal with it, deal with Cao Shuang, ordinary tricks will definitely not work, this time Cao Liang made contributions in Bingzhou, pacified the Huns, and repelled Xianbei, if we try to prevent him from becoming a knight, it is easy to make Cao Shuang have no scruples, so this time we will simply be generous, and before Cao Shuang proposed to promote Cao Liang, we took the lead in proposing to promote Cao Liang." As far as I know, Cao Liang is just a side branch of the Cao clan, and he has not been reused by Cao Shuang before, so he is not Cao Shuang's consistent confidant, if he really wants to push Cao Liang to a position second only to Cao Shuang, it will inevitably pose a threat to Cao Shuang's status, with Cao Shuang's narrow-minded and paranoid character, how can he tolerate others snoring next to the couch. ”

This time, Sima Shi finally came to his senses, and he said in a loud voice: "I see, no wonder Cao Shuang is struggling in the court, and he is spitting and spitting, and Captain Jiang's proposal is clearly to take him into an army." ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said: "Although Cao Liang has made great contributions in the state, but the high merit covers the master, it is a big taboo, Cao Shuang's defeat in Shu is already a big disappointment, if Cao Liang is allowed to enter the imperial court, it will inevitably shake Cao Shuang's status, this point, Cao Shuang also knows it, so he will hesitate." ”

Sima Shi said happily: "Father really has a clever plan, so that they are suspicious of each other, and we can benefit from it." ”
