Chapter 1192: No Mercy

Sima Yi didn't move Xiahou Xuan at the beginning, and there was a reason.

After the Gao Pingling Incident, Sima Yi not only killed Cao Shuang, but also killed He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Li Sheng, Bi Liang and other Cao Shuang's henchmen.

But what is unbelievable is that Xiahou Xuan, as a core member of Cao Shuang's group, was only stripped of his military power, not only was he not punished, but he returned to the court to serve as Taichang, although Taichang is just an idle position, but it is also a high position like Jiuqing, and the reason for this is somewhat intriguing.

Why Sima Yi dared to kill Cao Shuang, dare to kill He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang and others, is because Cao Shuang and these people acted perversely, colluded, made the heavens angry and resentful, and the people were extremely angry.

But Xiahou Xuan is different, not only has he been letting go of his duties, and he has not been embarrassed with Cao Shuang, he is like a clear stream in the turbid current, and Cao Shuang is clearly distinguished, and Xiahou Xuan has a very high popularity and prestige among the eunuchs, if Sima Yi wants to kill him, it will inevitably arouse the opposition of many people.

Sima Yi has just mutinied to the throne, what he needs most at this time is stability, if the killing of Xiahou Xuan leads to a chaos that he can't control, then Sima Yi would rather calm things down than act rashly, which is also an important reason why Xiahou Xuan escaped.

As for kinship, it is a relatively nonsense thing, Sima Shi can even poison his wife Xiahou Hui, so he will not care about this former eldest brother, Sima Yi has more considerations, or from the perspective of political interests, keeping Xiahou Xuan can stabilize the emotions of most scholars, then he will never easily touch Xiahou Xuan.

But this is just Sima Yi's idea at the beginning, now that six years have passed since the Gao Pingling Incident, the Sima family's control of power is no longer as stretched as it was at the beginning, people like Xiahou Xuan have long been included in the list of purging by Sima Shi, after all, the existence of Xiahou Xuan will always be the biggest hidden danger.

Of course, getting rid of Xiahou Xuan also needs a suitable excuse, as long as he dares to participate in the rebellion, Sima Shi will definitely not show mercy.

Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan, almost in love with each other and killed each other for most of their lives, because at that time Sima Yi and Xiahou Shang were very close, Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan can be said to be close friends since they wore open crotch pants, the two people have similar interests, compatible personalities, and can be called a pair of good friends.

This is an era of self-release and youth, as the fathers of important ministers guard the border gates, they are used to being touted by the second generation of officials since childhood, and there is no need to sigh for the funeral flowers in a happy family life, and there is no important sense of mission for the country and the people to worry about the country and the people. Three or five friends get together to rip off, drink and write poems, and live a carefree and unrestrained life.

The sublimation of the relationship between Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan is naturally that Sima Shi married Xiahou Xuan's sister Xiahou Hui, and the marriage of the two families made their already strong friendship to a higher level.

As for the rupture of the relationship between the two, it naturally has to start with the death of Xiahou Hui, Xiahou Hui's sudden death made the relationship between the Sima family and the Xia Hou family drop to the freezing point in an instant, Xiahou Xuan was in the field, and when he rushed back, Xiahou Hui had already been buried, and he didn't even see the last side of his sister. As for the cause of Xiahou Hui's death, according to Sima Shi, he died of a sudden illness, and Xiahou Xuan didn't believe it at all, because his sister had been in good health before, how could she suddenly die violently?

At this time, the news of Xiahou Hui's poisoning spread, Xiahou Xuan was extremely angry, and went to question Sima Shi, of course Sima Shi denied it, and the two quarreled, and they became strangers from then on.

Xiahou Xuan thought that his sister had died unjustly, and he had been looking for evidence hard, wanting to bring Sima Shi to justice and avenge his sister's blood hatred. Later, with the help of Cao Liang, Xiahou Xuan found his sister's burial place and opened the coffin for an autopsy, and unexpectedly found that his sister's body had not decomposed for many years, and confirmed that his sister was indeed poisoned by Sima Shi.

For this reason, Sima Shi was imprisoned, but in order to save his son's life, Sima Yi made a deal with Cao Shuang, handed over the military power of the two battalions of the backbone and the middle base to Cao Shuang and retreated to the second line, no longer caring about the affairs of the court.

Compared with avenging Xiahou Hui, Cao Shuang was of course more enthusiastic about the power handed over by Sima Yi, so Xiahou Xuan finally had to accept such an ending, in exchange, Xiahou Xuan served as the middle guard, and Sima Shi escaped death and picked up a life.

This time the prison disaster made Sima Shi unforgettable, and since then Sima Shi and Xiahou Xuan have embarked on the road of a complete break.

If Sima Shi still had a little bit of guilt for Xiahou Xuan before, this prison disaster has completely let Sima Shi go, what family, love, friendship, in the face of interests, is worthless, Sima Shi waved to the years of youth and singing, and completely cut off the friendship between him and Xiahou Xuan, from now on in the political arena, they are your enemies to the death, and there is no possibility of drinking and talking.

Sima Shi is a ruthless person, even Xiahou Hui, who gave birth to five daughters for him, can poison them with his own hands, because Xiahou Hui discovered the secret of their Sima family's raising of dead soldiers, after all, at that time, once this news leaked out, the Sima family would be wiped out.

It can be said that when Sima Shi brought poisoned wine to Xiahou Hui, he didn't even shake his hands, he was a person who was ready to achieve great things, no matter who became a stumbling block, he would not hesitate to get rid of it, even if it was the closest person, it was no exception.

Today's Sima Shi has reached the peak of power, who can compete with the entire court? This power is not easy to come by, and of course Sima Shi cherishes it very much, and will never allow anyone to take it away from his hands.

Xiahou Xuan, even if he is his former best friend and former uncle, Sima Shi will not move the slightest pity, and he also knows that Xiahou Xuan is not a person who is willing to sink, and there will still be an ultimate contest between them.
