Chapter 0777 The storm rises(2/2)
As a mother, she doesn't care about the common people or the emperor's intentions. She only knows that her son's implication this time seems to be far more serious than imagined.
"That's something that can't be helped."
Sima Yi sighed, "Da Lang is younger than Your Majesty. If you wait a few more years, there will always be opportunities. Don't worry."
"And this incident can be regarded as a lesson to him, so that he can sharpen his skills."
Zhang Chunhua asked unwillingly: "So, can we just wait?"
"There is no other way."
Sima Yi nodded.
Zhang Chunhua didn't expect that he would get such an answer after rushing over eagerly.
At the moment, I was even more worried: "Will this matter involve you?"
Sima Yi stroked his beard, with a somewhat unconcerned look on his face:
"Among the four important ministers left by the late emperor to assist the government, except for Chen Qun who did not hold military power, both the deceased Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen in Guanzhong have suffered defeats since they assisted the government."
"Only I defeated Soochow in Jingzhou and then killed Mengda in Yongcheng. Not only did I have no fault, but I actually made meritorious deeds."
"If His Majesty still wants to implicate me under such circumstances, it will be beyond the reach of Han Xin."
This is not conceited or arrogant, but stating a fact.
Sima Yi believed that His Majesty would never do such a stupid thing.
Your Majesty has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. Even Emperor Wu was very smart. He was often placed alongside his ministers at court meetings or banquets.
Even Emperor Wu couldn't help praising His Majesty in public: "Because of you, the foundation of the Cao family can be passed down to at least three generations!"
Emperor Wen forced Empress Wen Zhao to death, and His Majesty was also convicted because of his mother, which did not please Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen even intended to make King Yuancheng the crown prince.
But His Majesty was able to inherit the throne in the end. Emperor Wu's early evaluation of His Majesty naturally played a part.
If His Majesty did such a self-destructive thing, how could he deserve the praise of Emperor Wu back then?
Although Zhang Chunhua didn't see it as clearly as Sima Yi, she didn't really believe that Cao Rui would involve her Alang.
She asked this just because she wanted to get a positive answer.
Now that I see Sima Yi saying so definitely, I finally feel at ease:
"Forget it. I will go back to Luoyang tomorrow and tell Dalang about these twists and turns, so that he can calm down and learn more in the past few years."
"No hurry, no rush." Sima Yi coughed, "Since Mr. Xi is here, let's stay a few more days."
"Since I led the army outside, you and I haven't been together for a long time. It would be good for Mr. Xi to stay a few more days."
Zhang Chunhua glanced at Sima Yi: "How many days do you want me to wait before leaving?"
"Yes, wait a few days."
"All right."
Sima Yi asked Sima Shi to wait, and Cao Rui was also waiting.
In a side hall of the Royal Palace in Luoyang City, Cao Rui was holding a scroll in his right hand and standing in front of the window sill with his hands behind his back, seeming to be admiring the spring scenery outside.
He was wearing regular clothes, without a hat, and his figure looked a little thin.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes flashed from time to time, showing that he was a very independent person.
The leader of the army, Yang Ji, walked in hastily, "Your Majesty!"
Cao Rui turned around and asked calmly: "What's the news?"
"Your Majesty, the news from Luoyang has reached Yangzhou, and everyone in Yangzhou is now talking about glitz."
"The meticulous work of Soochow has probably spread the news across the river earlier."
Yang Ji replied.
Cao Rui nodded, "Luoyang City already has the details of the two Wu and Shu captives. If the news reaches Yangzhou, Sun Quan should already know about it by now. Go and call Yinfan in."
Yang Ji started to speak but stopped.
"You still have any doubts?"
When Cao Rui saw Yang Ji didn't move, he asked again.
Yang Ji hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, I do have some unanswered questions."
"Let's talk and listen."
"Your Majesty wants to send Yinfan to Soochow, why doesn't he send another person to Western Shu? A large army cannot attack Shu, but if you can send someone to cause trouble to the kings and ministers of Shu, it would be a good thing."
Cao Rui was unhappy when he heard that "the army cannot attack Shu".
But he knew that although Yang Ji was the most opposed to conquering Shu, he was still loyal, and this was not the time to argue about it.
So I can only put this aside and explain to Yang Ji the reason why he did not send anyone to Xishu:
"The people of Shu pretended to be Zhuge Liang, and they originally governed Shu with strict laws. Moreover, the people of Shu had formulated the "Shu Ke" more than ten years ago to govern Shu."
"If we send someone there, the new laws and regulations they bring may not be able to seduce him, so that's not what we should do."
"I heard that Zhuge acted justly and had extraordinary intelligence. I will personally decide all matters in Shu, no matter how big or small."
"Therefore, even if the people we send cannot surpass Zhuge Liang in intelligence, they cannot be too inferior."
"Otherwise, everything will have to be investigated by Zhuge Liang. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of overturning. This is not the best thing to do."
Besides, if Wei really wanted someone as talented as Zhuge Liang, he would not be able to send him to work as a craftsman.
"But Your Majesty, Lu Xun of Wu State also has great talents."
Yang Ji reminded me.
Cao Rui smiled confidently:
"Lu Xun is indeed a great talent, capable of bringing peace to the country with his military skills, and able to govern the country with his literary skills. But I only saw that he obeyed Sun Quan's orders, stayed in Wuchang, and assisted Sun Deng, and I knew that he did not understand the ways of the court."
