Zhong Hui ordered many more things, and Sima Zhao stood up, glanced at his brother reluctantly, then lowered his head and walked out in despair.
After Zhong Hui made sure everyone left, he looked at Master Sima.
"General, do you really want to hide this from General Zhengxi as well?"
Master Sima still didn't speak, his eyes closed tightly.
Zhong Hui nodded, "Okay, the general is right. It's just right to see what kind of things the general can do. It can also be regarded as a test for him."
"As long as we remain silent, the rats outside will eagerly come out and want to eat Dawei. Hahaha, speaking of which, catching rats is a fun thing."
"I heard that Zhang Tang of the Han Dynasty tried rats when he was young and punished them with cruel laws."
"Today, I will also imitate Zhang Tang and see if I can leave a name in history like Zhang Tang."
"I don't care about those little mice. I just want to know if the two big mice in the palace and Huainan will also stick their heads out..."
In the dark room, Master Sima was lying flat like a corpse. Zhong Hui squinted his eyes, and the sun shined through the window, shining on the ground. Zhong Hui's face was hidden in the shadow, like a hunter hiding in the shadow.
...
"My brother, his condition has improved. His eye disease has been cured. There is nothing serious. He will get better after some time."
Sima Zhao responded casually.
In these days, there are not a few people who are "concerned" about the general's condition.
They would come to Sima Zhao from time to time to ask about the general's situation, and what they said was sincere. People who didn't know it thought they were very loyal to the general.
Faced with the concern of these people, Sima Zhao just tried to explain away the concern by saying that everything was fine.
Secretly, Sima Zhao made a series of personnel deployments. Almost all the confidants in his house were sent to various places and began to prepare to take over some important tasks.
The ministers were not fools, and they soon realized something was strange.
If the general is really okay, why hasn't he summoned the ministers yet?
Why did Zhong Hui and others disappear for so long? ?
Why assign your people to take over errands everywhere?
Could it be...
The eyes of the ministers suddenly brightened.
Luoyang once again fell into an eerie silence.
It seemed that everyone was waiting for something, or in other words, they all wanted to be sure of something. The scene of the impending storm enveloped the entire Luoyang, making people panic. Sima Wang's resignation made the officials even more surprised.
This even affected the judgment of the ministers to a certain extent.
If the general hadn't really died, why would Sima Wang leave the palace?
Later, Sima Zhao simply returned the power in the palace to the Guo family, which once again affected the judgment of the ministers.
Perhaps the general is really leaving this time.
This unexplainable news was abuzz in Luoyang, as if there was an invisible hand that was trying its best to add fuel to the flames, so that more prey could jump in...
And the knights continued to travel from Luoyang to various places, and an uneasy and indescribable atmosphere spread from Luoyang to all parts of the world.
Some people are worried and others are happy, and everyone feels that something big is going to happen soon.
However, the ministers have also seen strong winds and waves, so they are not so eager. They are still watching the bait in front of them carefully.
Master Sima has brought many surprises to everyone over the years, and they don't dare to attack rashly until they are sure.
Of course, not all ministers are so farsighted...
"Hahahaha~~~"
Guo Jian swaggered into the Tai Chi Hall.
This is the first time Guo Jian has appeared here since Cao Mao came to the palace. Normally, he would not even dare to enter the palace gate.
At this moment, in the doubtful eyes of the soldiers, he walked into the hall triumphantly and walked directly towards the west hall, followed by the tall Man Changwu.
Lieutenant Colonel Sima Xun's eyes widened and he quickly stood in front of him, forcing him to stop.
"General, you are..."
Guo Jian looked at Sima Xun with a bit of disdain in his eyes. He waved his hand displeasedly, "I'm here to pay homage to His Majesty. Just continue to stay here!"
Sima Xun was stunned at this moment.
He wasn't sure what this guy was going to do at the moment, and he didn't understand why the person who usually avoided them when he saw them became so bold now.
He said again: "General, without the general's edict, you cannot enter Tai Chi Hall..."
Guo Jian's face changed drastically and he cursed: "I am taking over the army in the palace under the orders of the general. Who are you, and you dare to stop me? Get out of the way!"
Hearing these words, Sima Xun hesitated for a moment, but still got out of the way.
Of course he knew about the change of positions in the palace, and he quite envied Sima Wang. It was a pity that Sima Wang could leave, but he couldn't.
Guo Jian led the people into the hall with a straight face and cursed.
Sima Xun curled his lips and said to the soldier beside him: "Keep an eye on me. If there is anything wrong, report it in time."
Guo Jian seemed not to take Sima Xun and Cao Mao seriously, he led the people directly into the west hall.
"His Majesty!!"
Cao Mao was startled. He quickly stood up and shouted in surprise: "Uncle!!"
Guo Jian no longer had the usual hostility at this moment, and looked at Cao Mao with eyes full of love.
These target-eating things never care about friendship, and they can't hold anything but interests in their eyes.
Guo Jian happily walked up to Cao Mao, put his hands on his shoulders, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry anymore in the future!"
"Today, I regained the power for Your Majesty. My father-in-law took over from Sima Wang. Hahaha, the power is in my hands. Our Guo family has the final say in the entire palace!"
Cao Mao looked at him with admiration, "Uncle is really amazing!"
"What my uncle couldn't do back then was actually accomplished by you."
"I have nothing to worry about anymore!"
"Hahaha~~"
Hearing this compliment, Guo Jian almost floated up. Compared with his adopted brother, Guo Jian was really unbearable. Their performance was not at the same level at all, and they were not even worthy of Sima Shi to win over. kind.
In fact, like Sima Yan, he lives more or less in the shadow of his brother.
But now, he has accomplished what his brother couldn't do, and he has proved himself, at least, that's what he thought.
This made him very happy, and the pride in his heart was unmatched by others.
He was about to say something, but he quickly reacted, frowned, and said to the people around him: "Get out of here!"
His look almost told the Sima family that I was going to plot something with the emperor.
Where the servants and soldiers dared to stay, they looked at each other and left one after another.
Guo Jian sat down and said slowly: "Your contribution is indispensable for this. Sima Wang was forced to leave, and this position fell into our hands again. The best thing is that Master Sima... ha Haha, you don’t know yet, right? He’s going to die!”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Mao was immediately startled.
If Master Sima died, he would definitely kill himself before leaving!
Moreover, wasn't Master Sima's surgery successfully completed in history? Could it be that the operation failed just because I made him angry a few times and ran away a few times? ? No way?
When Cao Mao thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
Zhong Hui is not Jia Chong.
He stayed with Master Sima all day long. Even if Master Sima showed signs of death, let alone Master Sima's death, Zhong Hui would take action without hesitation. It was impossible to delay the situation.
Even if you don't mention this, if the general is really dead, will Guo Jian still have a chance to show off in front of him?
Master Sima could treat Guo Jian like an ant and didn't care, but Sima Zhao would definitely kill him.
Cao Mao hesitated and asked, "Is this really true?"
"Of course!"
"The news has spread in Luoyang, hahaha. Sima Zhao is still trying his best to cover it up, but everyone already knows what is going on..."
After hearing this, Cao Mao became more certain of his thoughts.
Master Sima must have no big problem, otherwise why would there be such a fuss? After what happened last time, Cao Mao no longer dared to underestimate Zhong Hui.
Master Sima is using a method similar to "faking death" to seduce enemies inside and outside?
But why would he do this? If this matter spreads everywhere, wouldn't there be a big problem? Putting aside the question of shaking the morale of the military, might neutralists like Zhuge Dan have to change their stance?
If General Zhengdong takes the opportunity to launch an attack, wouldn't something big happen to Sima's family?
Do you really believe that everyone in the world is as simple and honest as my uncle and An Shi? ?
ps: The historical materials of this period are really confusing. Many things cannot stand up to scrutiny, and they are so contradictory to each other... Wouldn't it be even worse if the next book was to cover the Northern and Southern Dynasties? It seems that when writing history, we still have to look for those dynasties with rich historical materials and able to justify their explanations.
