The change in Sima Fu's expression stunned Sima Zhao. He no longer dared to pretend, and honestly showed his attitude toward his elders, and said sincerely: "If he leaves, what will happen to the palace?" What’s the arrangement?”
Sima Fu saw that Sima Zhao had changed his attitude. He was no longer as strong as before, and his attitude became kinder.
He consoled him: "Sir, I really don't understand. You have 130,000 troops in your hand, and with the support of generals from all over the country, you can command more than 200,000 troops. Why are you so afraid?"
"If you are afraid of Guanqiu Jian's rebellion, I can still understand it, but in Luoyang, you are worried about the emperor's rebellion. This is beyond my comprehension. What do you have to be afraid of? The emperor alone can compare with What about the 100,000 Chinese troops in your hands?!"
Sima Zhao lowered his head and did not dare to reply.
Sima Fu continued: "If you are worried about the Queen Mother, the total number of soldiers in Guo Jian's hands is only more than 4,000, and the total power of the Guo family is less than 10,000. Do you need to worry about him? !”
"I heard that you replaced the Changshui Colonel Guo Zhi with Yin Damu, the Lieutenant Colonel, and asked Yin Damu to serve as the Changshui Colonel."
"Now, only Guo Jian's army is left in the hands of the Guo family."
"What are you afraid of?"
Facing his uncle's question, Sima Zhao hesitated for a long time and said hesitantly: "Brother asked me not to despise the emperor..."
"He asked you not to despise the emperor, but he didn't mean to worry you like this! The enemy now is Guanqiu Jian, and Guanqiu Jian has an elite army of 80,000 men under his command. This is what you have to worry about, so who does the emperor mean to you? Where is the enemy?"
"In my opinion, you might as well hand over all the military power in the palace to the Guo family."
"What??"
Sima Zhao stood up abruptly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Sima Fu in disbelief, "Father Zhong, what do you mean? My brother spent a lot of thought on it..."
"Listen to me, first of all, today is different from the past. Since Guo De was killed and Gao Rou was hit, the Guo family has lost the ability to continue to compete with us. Apart from the title of Queen Mother, they no longer have any threats. ”
"Secondly, as for Guo Jian, you may know his character better than I do. He is just a fool and a fool."
"A person like this will not be our opponent even if he holds an army of 100,000 people, let alone the army in the palace. Whether he can mobilize these people is a question."
"Besides, you just said that the general left an order. If something happens, you have to take action against the emperor."
"Based on the current situation, except for the idiot Guo Jian, who else would dare to succeed Zichu? Even if you go to the temple, the officials will have to hide and not dare to take orders."
"Let's first hand over the power to the Guo family. If something happens to the general, let Cheng Ji be responsible for handling it. If it is done, it will be unfavorable to the Guo family's supervision. If it cannot be done, then let the Guo family become the mastermind. .”
Sima Fu narrowed his eyes and analyzed Youzi carefully.
When he said this, Sima Zhao suddenly cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and he suddenly became enlightened.
Putting aside this man's ability, he really listened to the advice. He immediately changed his original view, stood up, and saluted Sima Fu.
"If it weren't for Father Zhong, I would have almost made a big mistake! According to what Father Zhong said, no matter what happens in the end, it can all be blamed on the Guo family. Killing two birds with one stone, but... Father Zhong, if they side with the emperor, they should How to do it?"
"If this idiot Guo Jian can lead the more than 4,000 soldiers we arranged to defeat your army of 100,000...or if he has such courage."
"Then our family would have been replaced by them a long time ago. If they fully support the emperor, that would be even better. Catch them all in one fell swoop!"
Sima Zhao's eyes lit up and he quickly changed his attitude again. He complimented Sima Fu and poured out all kinds of shameless compliments.
Many ministers felt that getting along with Sima Zhao was a very enjoyable thing.
Sima Shi would never lick any ministers, he was serious and not good at words, but Sima Zhao was different. He was very good at attracting talents.
He could take even a young junior like Du Yu seriously, and thus gained the loyalty of a large number of talented people.
In fact, having such ability can be regarded as a qualified successor.
In all dynasties, he can be regarded as the successor of the middle and upper class.
Many second-generation people can't reach his level.
Sima Zhao fully accepted Sima Fu's point of view and believed that the Guo family should be pushed out to take the blame. At the same time, he also had other arrangements for Sima Wang.
Sima Zhao said angrily: "The bandit general Jiang Wei captured Heguan and Lintao from Didao, which made the people of Yongliang panic. The general of chariots and cavalry is seriously ill and unable to send troops. I think we can let Zichu go to Yongliang to resist the foreign thieves." !”
Sima Fu stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
Over the years, Jiang Wei's offensive has become more and more fierce. This is already the seventh large-scale attack, and the Sima family is also devastated.
Sima Zhao had a lot of problems to deal with. In addition to Guanqiu Jian internally, the Shu and Wu kingdoms outside were not at peace either and were ready to stir up trouble.
Some people say that Guanqiu Jian seems to be connected with the state of Wu, which is even more scary.
If Guanqiu Jian launched a rebellion, Zhuge Dan responded, and Wu and Shu sent troops together, then the Sima family would probably die suddenly on the spot.
Every time he thought about this possibility, Sima Zhao felt his hands and feet were cold and his chest felt tight.
Speaking of Jiang Wei, Sima Fu also sighed helplessly. This Tianshui Jiang Boyue had caused them great trouble. In this year's battle, if Xu Zhi hadn't killed Zhang Yi in Xiangwu, who knows what Jiang Wei would have done. Wherever the battle went, although Zhang Yi was defeated, the Wei army also paid a huge price. After Jiang Wei's reinforcements arrived, they even crippled the Wei army.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Wei's next offensive will be even more fierce.
However, this is not what they should consider now. In order to fight against foreign aggression, they must first make peace at home. If Guanqiu Jian is not dead, Sima Zhao will be uneasy!
The two were talking when they suddenly heard an exclamation and saw a servant rushing into the house in a panic. The servant looked extremely frightened, his whole body was trembling, and fear completely enveloped him.
"General, general...general, general..."
Seeing the servant's appearance, Sima Zhao jumped up suddenly, ignored Sima Fu beside him, yelled, and rushed out. Sima Fu stared at this scene dumbfounded, and then he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. He nodded and sighed.
Is the general going to die?
He had this guess in his mind, but for some reason, Sima Fu suddenly felt that his shoulders felt a lot lighter.
When Sima Zhao rushed into the inner room, he saw Zhong Hui sitting next to his brother, gently wiping his tears.
"Brother!!!"
Sima Zhao knelt on the ground and was about to cry bitterly.
Zhong Hui hurriedly stood up, "General! Nothing happened to the general. He just woke up once and fainted again. You don't have to worry..."
"The doctor didn't say it clearly, but the general will definitely get better."
Zhong Hui started to explain, but Sima Zhao was in a daze at the moment and seemed not to have listened to his words.
He crawled in front of Master Sima. Looking at his scrawny brother lying on the bed, Sima Zhao could no longer control his tears.
"Brother, you can't leave...I can't live without you..."
"Brother, although you hit and scold me on weekdays, and I also said bad things about you in private, I know that the world cannot live without you..."
Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, looking at Sima Zhao in front of him with some amusement, and then glanced at Master Sima without interrupting him.
Sima Zhao continued: "I will definitely handle things in the temple and outside. If my brother is gone, I will let all those traitors be buried with him! And none of the doctors will be left alive!"
Master Sima remained motionless, his eyes closed tightly.
Sima Zhao cried for a long time, then wiped his tears and looked at Zhong Hui aside.
"Jun Zhong, this is a critical time. I will send others to guard my brother. You will temporarily come under my command to make plans for me..."
Zhong Hui quickly interrupted him, "Well, general, don't be so impatient. Something may not happen to the general. It's not yet here, so please don't worry so much."
"The general's condition must never be known to outsiders."
"Especially if Guan Qiu Jian doesn't know about it."
"Just pretend that nothing happened. Just like usual, don't let others know the true situation."
"General, since I'm here, you don't have to worry too much. Just go and take care of the things in your hands."
