Chapter 25 Zhong Shiji threw a stone to ask for directions! (I)
When Liu Chan was complacent, a small thing happened in Wei State that was enough to change history.
Wei State, Sili County, Henei.
Sima Fu, who was already 73 years old at the time, was recuperating at home.
Since the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Fu has intentionally avoided Sima Yi's lineage, and then Sima Shi abolished Wang Fang of Qi, and he did not directly participate in it.
Even after Cao Mao was killed, Sima Fu went there in person, pillowed Cao Mao's head on his thigh, and cried bitterly.
"It is a crime to let His Majesty be killed"
And submit a memorial request to capture the mastermind!
Later, Sima Fu no longer participated in major affairs in the court and practiced calmly.
He was loyal to Cao Wei and showed his appearance. Therefore, many old ministers of Cao Wei in the court would communicate with him, but after the rebellion of Wang Ling, Wuqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan, there are very few people who are truly willing to be loyal to Cao Wei!
Let’s talk about the founding nobles, Cao Zhong, Cao Shuang and others from Cao Zhen’s lineage died in Gaopingling, while Cao Xiu’s lineage died early in his prime.
Among Xiahou Yuan's descendants, Xiahou Ba fled to Shu, and his descendants were exiled to Lelang County. Although Xiahou Wei was loyal to the Wei State, his son Xiahou Zhuang and Xiahou Jun got together with the Sima family, and Xiahou He was a scholar who was a clear debater.
Xiahou Xuan, the descendant of Xiahou Shang, was even more miserable, and he died and his clan was destroyed!
The other nobles are all people who inherit titles and do not care about the government.
If we say that the entire court is the same as Sima Fu, Fan Can is the only one!
When King Fang of Qi was deposed by General Sima Shi, Fan Can said goodbye to Cao Fang in white clothes from the mourning to show his loyalty to Wei. His behavior touched many people!
After that, when Sima Shi assisted the government, Fan Can did not attend every meeting, but Fan Can's reputation was too high, and the court could only tolerate him and even added him to the position of Shizhong.
In addition, Fan Can also do something even more ruthless, which made Sima Fu feel ashamed of himself.
That is, after saying goodbye to Cao Fang, Fan Can still doesn’t speak until now, living in the car, and his feet don’t fall to the ground!
But today Sima Fu received a letter from Fan Can, and Chang Lin’s son Chang Jing was also here!
After he finished reading the content of the letter, he was numb.
Welcome the deposed emperor, Wang Fang, to the deposed emperor? Which little genius came up with this?
The loyal ministers of Cao Wei were already close to nothing, and they even welcomed a Qi Wangfang who was splashed with sewage!
But when Sima Fu calmed down and thought about it, he felt that this was the most reasonable one at the moment.
If we calculate it based on the bloodline of Emperor Ming of Wei, the most important legal principles are King Fang of Qi and the current emperor Cao Huan.
King Fang of Qi was the crown prince recognized by Cao Rui, and Cao Huan was the adopted son recognized by Empress Guo.
But King Fang of Qi was poured with sewage by Queen Guo’s edict, and there was no hope!
Empress Guo is deeply rooted, and Sima Zhao from the outside court is also a powerful person to cover up the sky and cannot move Cao Huan's status at all!
Seeing this, Chang Jing expressed his thoughts
"Empress Guo is old and has already heard of illness at the beginning of the year, or it may be within a year..."
"Now the general Zhenxi is about to attack Shu. I have talked to him. With his ability, he will definitely be able to conquer Hanzhong and other places!"
"As for the complete destruction of Shu Kingdom, it will take two to three years to achieve success!"
"At that time when Empress Guo leaves, General Zhenxi will take the power of destroying the country again. The Grand Tutor only needs to stand up and say that Empress Guo's deposed King Qi is a false statement!"
"Zheng Fang of Qi was established as Emperor Ming (Cao Rui) and is extremely orthodox. At that time, we will definitely clarify the court!"
To be honest, Sima Fu doesn’t believe in Zhong Hui or Chang Jing’s plan, it’s too risky!
But he didn't want Sima Zhao to usurp the Wei Dynasty because he didn't have enough virtue!
Cao Mengde dared not usurp the throne when he re-created the Han Dynasty. He regarded himself as a Han minister. What did Sima have to do to Wei?
If the emperor was deposed and established after attacking Shu, there would be nothing to say, but now he has already arbitrarily abolished and even killed the emperor, which is a true act of a traitor!
If you make a mistake, the entire clan will be buried with you!
Sima Yi and Sima Zhao's lineage can die, but the Sima family cannot!
Therefore, although he did not agree with Sima Zhao, he would not cooperate with Zhong Hui!
Why can't he be alone to clarify the court and become a pure minister of the Great Wei Dynasty?
This matter was not a temporary plan by Sima Fu, but a major plan set by their family more than ten years ago!
A group of people followed Sima Yi, and a group of people followed Sima Fu. If the situation changes, Sima Yi's lineage is killed, then Sima Fu's lineage will appear immediately!
He avoided Sima Yi's lineage for a long time, and he also had this consideration!
Now it seems that his good nephew is about to face the last problem before usurping the throne!
Sima Fu pondered for a long time but refused Chang Jing!
"There is no need to talk about this matter, please go back!"
Chang Jing went back in a daze, but Sima Fu did not do anything as Chang Jing thought. Sima Zhao was about to usurp the throne, so he had to make some preparations!
After Chang Jing left, Sima Fu found his seventh brother Sima Tong and his nephew Sima Shun, both of whom worked in Sili!
Sima Fu told them about Chang Jing's desire to help Cao Fang take office, and then asked.
"What did Yada think?"
Sima Tong is over 60 years old, but his thinking is still very clear.
"The position of Prince Fang of Qi was established by Emperor Ming, and he is extremely orthodox!"
"Since Gaopingling, Zhongda was in charge of the government affairs alone, and later Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers abolished the emperor and killed the emperor."
"We are welcomed by King Fang of Qi again, and it is indeed a matter of right!"
"Sadly, Gaogui Township Duke is quite popular. Most of the people of Wei have forgotten King Fang of Qi today!"
If you want to talk about Cao Rui, Cao Mao is the most talented one!
Cao Mao is a man of talent, and he is like Chen Si (Cao Zhi), a martial arts master Taizu!
And Cao Fang...
"Although Wang Fang of Qi is interested in learning, he trusts more in private people and has no knowledge of others. He is just the lord of Zhongping!"
Cao Fang's mediocrity cannot be separated from the fact that something like the Gaopingling Incident occurs!
Seeing his father Sima Tong being hesitant and hesitant, Sima Shun became a little anxious.
"Father, uncle, in today's world, there is no more orthodox royal family than King Fang of Qi!"
"I think I should not hesitate anymore, and I should protect King Fang of Qi immediately!"
Compared to Sima Shun's impatience, Sima Fu and Sima Tong were more crafty and concise.
"I will leave it to Zisi to protect Wang Fang of Qi!" Zisi's name is Sima Shun.
After sending Sima Shun, the two of them were still talking.
"What does Yada think of Donghai King's Ki?"
"The King of Donghai is the only surviving son of Emperor Ming!"
"How is King Ti of Liang?"
"The King of Liang Ti inherited the inheritance of Cao Li, the King of Yuancheng!"
Cao Li, the king of Yuancheng, was the son of Cao Pi and was granted the title of Jingzhao County in Yongzhou. However, Cao Li had no son, so he asked Cao Ti (the grandson of Cao Zhang) to succeed him!
"How about Wang An, Wang Praise?"
"King Wen'an praised the inheritance of King Cao Rui, the mourning king of Beihai!"
Cao Rui, the King of Mourning in Beihai, is also the son of Cao Pi!
"Wu Ye, the King of Luyang?"
"The King of Luyang Wen inherited the inheritance of Cao Yong, King Huai of Handan!"
If Cao Fang and King Cao Qi of the East Sea are not considered, then Cao Ti, Cao Zan and Cao Yong are all qualified to inherit!
What’s even more interesting is that King Cao Ti of Liang, King Cao Yong of Luyang, is Cao Zhang’s grandson and Cao Kai’s son, just like Cao Fang!
The two looked at each other and smiled. Since Cao Rui's empress Guo's family has not been long, why not choose from the descendants of Emperor Wen Cao Pi!
