The person who came was none other than Master Sima.
Master Sima lowered his head and walked into the hall step by step.
When he raised his head, several ministers were inexplicably flustered.
Master Sima's eyes swept across the ministers in front of him, but did not stop on any of them. He passed through many ministers and stared directly at Wang Xiang who was hiding behind the crowd.
Then, he walked in the direction of Wang Xiang.
At this moment, Wang Xiang felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, and his whole body could not help but tremble.
"General!"
Fortunately, Gao Rou stood in front of Master Sima.
There was something wrong with the way Gao Rou looked at Master Sima at the moment. After being threatened and suppressed by Master Sima one after another, the current Situ finally couldn't bear it anymore.
With so many ministers here, Gao Rou is not afraid that Master Sima will take action.
Master Sima is cruel, but he is not crazy.
He dare not be Dong Zhuo!
What's more, Gao Rou lost the support of his ministers because of Zhong Hui's lies. Since then, he has been manipulated by Master Sima in various ways and has no power to fight back.
When Situ Gong saw this opportunity, he was unwilling to give it up.
He wants to become the backbone of the ministers again, and he wants to take over the leadership of this matter. This time, let alone Zhong Hui, even if Zhong Yao comes, he will never let go of power again!
Master Sima looked at Gao Rou in front of him, his expression still calm.
"What does Mr. Situ want to do?"
"You suddenly wanted to send your son Gao Guang to Huainan."
"Now Guanqiu Jian is hoarding food and grass, and you are leading the officials to cause trouble."
"What benefit did Guanqiu Jian give you? Let you betray the temple?"
Gao Rou's face changed greatly, "General! What does the discussion of politics in this temple have to do with Guanqiu Jian? If the general is unwilling to implement it, he can refuse it rationally, so why spit on others?!"
Master Sima looked at him and said, "I have heard a long time ago that Guan Qiu Jian gave Situ money and hid it in your mansion."
"Well, if I send someone to search, you will probably think that I framed him."
"Do you think there is anyone among these ministers that you can trust?"
"If there is, I can ask him to go to your residence to search. If there is no bribe given by Guanqiu Jian, I am willing to resign as the general. If found out, I will deal with it according to the law. What does Situ Gong think? ?”
Master Sima asked calmly.
Gao Rou's eyes were full of fear.
Master Sima once replaced the servants in his house. He originally thought that this was just to keep an eye on him, but now he knows that Master Sima actually retained such a hand!
Had he anticipated such a day? ?
Gao Rou's face turned pale, but he did not answer. The ministers around him also looked at him with suspicion.
"General, this matter was not brought up by Situ Gong and has nothing to do with him!"
"Whether he has any friendship with General Guanqiu Jian has nothing to do with what is happening today."
At this moment, Xun Yi took the initiative to step forward to rescue Gao Rou.
Xun Yi knew very well that he could not lose Situ Gong yet. This apparently most powerful ally must be kept. At the same time, he could not let Sima Shi use Gao Rou to disrupt this court meeting.
Master Sima still looked at Gao Rou, waiting for his answer.
Seeing that Gao Rou didn't answer, he snorted coldly, and then looked at Xun Yi who spoke at the side.
"Mr. Xun"
"Have you forgotten the kindness your father showed you?"
Xun Yi frowned and said calmly: "This is a state matter, and we will continue the ambition of Duke Xuan Wen to make the world prosperous."
Master Sima nodded, "That makes sense."
"Then Duke Xun wants to govern the world through the Queen Mother? Emperor Wen has orders, and the harem has no choice but to interfere in politics."
"Do you want to rule the world, or do you want to be a marquis?"
Hou Feng refers to the hawk-dog cruel official who served under Empress Lu in the Western Han Dynasty.
Xunyi was stunned and replied: "It is to govern the world, but the general who conquered the west refused to obey. Your Majesty is young now, so naturally the Queen Mother can only take the initiative."
"Then why do you have to say so much?"
"I am still in the temple, do I need the Queen Mother to come forward?!"
Meng Kang retorted: "The general is seriously ill, so we can only ask the Queen Mother to come forward and issue the edict. We don't know that the general is coming. Does this mean we want to become marquises?!"
Master Sima said calmly: "Don't make mistakes, I will carry out good deeds and I will never forgive bad deeds."
"If all the ministers think it is a good deed that is beneficial to the world, how can I refuse?"
Lu Yu immediately stepped forward, "That's the case! Please give the general an order to implement this matter now!"
"All the ministers think this is a good deed that benefits the world!"
As these people formed a group, the other ministers also began to express their thoughts.
To sum up, it is just one sentence, asking Master Sima to agree to this decision!
If you don't agree, we will go to the Queen Mother and ask her to implement it!
Sima Zhao stood far away. He did not expect that these people would actually dare to take action against his brother.
Within a moment, the ministers gathered around Master Sima, each of them arguing with each other. Looking at them, they looked like greedy wolves, constantly testing the prey in front of them, going back and forth. Pull.
Master Sima, on the other hand, was like a sick tiger surrounded by wolves, but he was unhurried and could scare away the wolves by suddenly taking a step forward.
The sick tiger showed its fangs, and instead of retreating, it was locked up step by step. The wolves whimpered, kept retreating, and jumped up and down, trying to intimidate the sick tiger in front of them.
Master Sima stared at the people in front of him.
"The current problem is that some people's purpose is not to promote such good deeds at all! They just want to disobey Emperor Wen's edict and become a marquis!!"
"Why do you collude with such villains?"
"If it is truly beneficial to the world, how could I refuse?"
"Don't be the sword in Guan Qiu Jian's hands! He comes from a prefecture and has many noble clans in Huainan. If Guan Qiu Jian gains a fortune, will it be of any benefit to you all?"
Sima Fu finally stood up and looked at Master Sima in front of him.
"General, I believe that the memorials of the officials are also for the sake of the temple. We absolutely cannot anger them because of Guan Qiu Jian and regard them as Guan Qiu Jian's accomplices."
"According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, treason is a serious crime, but writing a letter is not a crime."
"Since the ministers have a good idea, they should discuss it seriously and then implement it."
"But things have to be done in an orderly manner. Today, Guanqiu Jian is hoarding food and grass, and his thoughts of rebellion have emerged. I think we should wait for the angel to return to Luoyang and inquire about the results before making a decision. Such a change is not a small matter. Once it is reformed , will definitely cause turmoil, and if it is used by others, even the most benevolent government will turn into evil government."
Sima Fu looked at the ministers and said, "Masters, I agree with these policies, but can such a major event be decided in a few days? Doesn't specific decisions need to be discussed and thought about?" What's more, we are faced with a powerful enemy, so we really shouldn't delay our military operations just to hurry up."
Sima Zhao was a little dissatisfied and was about to step forward to refute, but was firmly held back by Zhong Yu.
Lu Yu looked at Sima Fu and said, "You also mentioned that the petitioner is not guilty. This matter can be discussed slowly, but we are worried that someone will take advantage of it and not give us a chance to discuss it again."
Sima Fu said seriously: "If such a situation occurs, all ministers will attack it together!!"
The ministers did not refute again and accepted this slowly discussed suggestion.
At the end of the court meeting, the officials left one after another.
Wang Xiang mingled among the officials, his eyes twinkling.
He succeeded.
Getting out of here alive means success.
If Sima Shi dares to touch him next, even if he directly breaks the current compromise with the ministers, the ministers will immediately rebel.
No, it should be said that the officials have turned against them.
The Sima family's reputation is so bad that no one will believe the promises they make.
The ministers already knew the Queen Mother's position and what they should use to fight against Sima Shi.
Next, the ministers will take the initiative to contact the Queen Mother, and they will automatically form a powerful force to force Sima Shi to make concessions.
And how could Master Sima give in?
Wang Xiang calmly looked at the sky in the distance.
If Master Sima doesn't give in, the ministers will unite around the Queen Mother. This alliance lacks everything, so what do you need from your Sima family?
The authority that the Sima family had built up over many years collapsed in one day, and the ministers were no longer afraid of Master Sima.
No matter whether Sima Shi can suppress it this time, the Sima family is doomed. They have failed.
The era of the Queen Mother, not the era of the aristocratic family, must be opened up by oneself.
In the main hall, Master Sima watched expressionlessly as the officials left one by one.
Sima Fu, Sima Zhao, and several close ministers stayed here.
Sima Zhao glanced at Sima Fu and quickly walked to his brother's side.
"Brother, how can you let them go like this?"
"Since the evidence of Gao Rou's collusion with Guan Qiu Jian is in his home, they should be labeled as accomplices in rebellion. Even if they cannot be killed, then Gao Rou should be killed. Why bother talking? Gao Rou. Once Rou dies, how can the others dare to rebel?!"
Master Sima did not speak, but Zhong Yu sighed and said quietly: "I'm afraid it's because Gao Rou's family doesn't have any stolen goods."
Sima Zhao was shocked and looked at Master Sima again.
Master Sima did not refute.
Sima Fu asked helplessly: "General, what should we do next? The ministers will not give up here."
Sima Zhao said displeasedly: "Why did you let them go just now? They shouldn't have been allowed to leave this door easily! If nothing else, at least the two thieves Lu Yu and Wang Xiang should be kept here!"
"Shut up!!!"
Master Sima scolded.
He was about to say something, but a painful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Blood suddenly came out of his mouth and slid down the corners of his mouth, instantly staining his clothes red.
Master Sima was swaying. He grabbed Sima Zhao's clothes and held on tightly, struggling not to fall to the ground.
"Brother!!!"
"Don't yell, help me get in the car."
Master Sima was trembling violently. He grabbed Sima Zhao's clothes and almost tore the clothes.
