Chapter 1191 - Casting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish
In the past, the Sima family had Sima Yi's support, so naturally there was no need for Sima Shi to worry about it, and the Gaopingling incident was completely planned by Sima Yi, and Sima Shi just faithfully implemented Sima Yi's plan.
But now Sima Yi is no longer alive, all things must be personally taken care of by Sima Shi, today's situation, internal and external difficulties, embattled, Sima Shi is not easy at all, on the surface it looks like he is busy in order to handle Wang Yuanji's funeral, but in fact, his control of the power in the DPRK is closer than ever, and he requires meticulous monitoring of any dissidents, and will never allow any fish to slip through the net.
For those who tried to rebel, this funeral of the Sima family was undoubtedly the best time, others could think of this, but Sima Shi couldn't think of it?
In fact, there are not too many people who need to be monitored by Sima Shi, and those descendants who are loyal to the Sima family naturally don't have to worry, most of them are loyal, even if some people are not loyal enough, but their interests are closely related to the Sima family, and for the sake of interests, it is impossible for them to betray the Sima family easily.
And those with lower official positions are not in Sima Shi's consideration, after all, their ability is limited, even if they are dissatisfied with the Sima family, they don't have the courage to do rebellion, even if they have the guts, they don't have the strength, the real rebels and rebels must at least show the strength to compete with Sima Shi, otherwise they are moths to the fire and kill themselves.
Therefore, there are only a few people in the entire court who can really have the ability to rebel, and if Sima Shi implements targeted monitoring and monitoring of them, it is still very easy to do so.
Among them, Zhang Ji and Li Feng were naturally closely watched by Sima Shi.
Originally, according to what Sima Zhao said, Zhang Ji and Li Feng were just two civilian officials without military power, and it was impossible for such officials to pose a threat to Sima Shi, but Sima Shi considered the problem more comprehensively, even if Zhang Ji and Li Feng themselves did not have a threat, what if they relied on other forces?
For example, they are relatives and relatives of the Son of Heaven, and it is very likely that they will be supported by the Son of Heaven, and for example, they have relatives or friends who hold military power, such as Li Feng's younger brother Li Yi is the assassin of Yanzhou, and he can mobilize troops and horses, these factors are all considered by Sima Shi.
Sima Shi is accustomed to nipped any danger in the bud, so any suspicion and surveillance is necessary, so that it is convenient for Sima Shi to grasp the overall situation.
Even if Zhang Ji and Li Feng did not have any plans and plans to rebel, then Sima Shi would naturally be at ease, but if they really had the heart to rebel, Sima Shi might as well make preparations as soon as possible to cope with all changes.
Now there are all kinds of signs that Zhang Ji and Li Feng are very likely to be planning a rebellion, especially when they saw Zhang Ji and Li Feng with their own eyes today, that kind of behavior of wanting to cover up seems to have strengthened Sima Shi's thoughts, if it weren't for the ghosts in their hearts, would they be so deliberately pretentious?
Of course, Sima Shi can't take down the two of them just based on suspicion, and now he hasn't got the real evidence of their rebellion, of course Sima Shi can't startle the snake, he calmly and calmly dealt with Zhang Li and the others, just to let them relax their vigilance, as long as they take action to show their feet, Sima Shi will use the momentum of thunder to wipe them out, and none of them will want to run away.
Sima Yi was cruel and cold-blooded when dealing with political enemies, and he once told Sima Shi that he would never be merciful to his real enemies, and once he slackened a little, the enemy would take the opportunity to pounce on you and bite you to death.
After Sima Shi took power, he deeply realized this, and around him were not only his close relatives, but also the hungry wolves with a faint green light in their eyes, once Sima Shi slacked off, they would pounce on him and put him to death.
Therefore, Sima Shi warned himself that he should always be vigilant and not give any chance to political opponents, especially at a critical moment like the funeral of Sima's family, he had to play a twelve-point spirit, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, on the surface, it seems that Sima Shi was busy for the funeral, but this is a trick to confuse the opponent, so that it is easier for the opponent to jump out, and then Sima Shi will ruthlessly suppress it.
This trick of luring the snake out of the hole is what Sima Shi is best at, potential danger is always a hidden danger, only by pulling the enemy hidden in the shadows into the sunlight and revealing his true face, then the danger can be truly eliminated.
What Sima Shi is doing now is such a thing, knowing that Zhang Ji and Li Feng may be unfavorable to him, but he deliberately pretended to be confused, stood still, and put a long line to catch a big fish, just waiting for Zhang Ji and Li Feng to show their feet.
Sima Shi said leisurely: "A few days ago, Li Feng visited Xiahou Xuan twice, and the time for their two meetings was not short, both of them exceeded an hour. ”
Sima Zhao frowned slightly, and said, "Big brother, do you mean that Xiahou Xuan is also involved in this matter?" It stands to reason that it won't, after Cao Shuang's ambush, Xiahou Xuan took the initiative to hand over the military power and reached a tacit understanding with us, it stands to reason that a smart person like him can't see the situation clearly, and he can only take the initiative to mix in the rebellion, which can only bring about his own destruction. Could it be that Li Feng deliberately wooed him, and he may not agree. ”
Sima Shi laughed and said: "Zishang, you still don't know much about Xiahou Taichu, do you remember the burial of Sikong Zhao Yan?" ”
At Sikong Zhao Yan's funeral, Sima Shi arrived first, and about half of the guests on the seat came out to greet him, and Xiahou Xuan came later, and almost all the guests poured out of the nest to greet him, which shows how Xiahou Xuan's reputation is.
A person's prestige is so prosperous, how can Sima Shi not be afraid of it, don't look at Xiahou Xuan is now in an idle position, and he doesn't have any real power in his hands, but as long as he stands up and raises his arms, he will definitely be a cloud.
People like Zhang Ji and Li Feng may not be valued by Sima Shi, after all, with their qualifications and prestige, even if they rebel, there are very few people who can respond, as long as Sima Shi is on guard, he can easily defeat them.
But Xiahou Xuan is different, he is the leader of the metaphysical faction, with infinite appeal, now he is dormant and has nothing to do with the Sima family, but it does not mean that he is harmless to humans and animals, as long as Xiahou Xuan comes forward, it will always be the biggest hidden danger of the Sima family.
The person Sima Shi really guarded against was Xiahou Xuan, and any disturbance on Xiahou Xuan's side could not be hidden from Sima Xuan's ears and eyes. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
