Chapter 1833: Curiosity killed the cat
Sima Yi, the "Tomb Tiger" who is as famous as "Wolong" Zhuge Liang and "Feng Chu" Pang Tong, even though he is still young and has not yet reached his peak state, he still has the level of a first-class counselor.
Sima Yi, working together with Yang Ping, who had a hundred years of experience and knew Jia Xu very well, really caused a lot of trouble for Jia Xu.
After all, Jia Xu is in the open, while Sima Yi and Yang Ping are in the dark. Under the calculations of the two little foxes, even the scheming Jia Xu must go all out to ensure that he does not fall into the trap. Capsized.
While helping Yang Ping and the imperialists and fighting against Jia Xu, Sima Yi gradually discovered something, that is, his sworn brother Yang Ping was exactly the same as the Han Emperor Liu Co-Chang.
In addition, Yang Ping also served as Liu Xie's substitute, helping Liu Xie handle some matters outside the palace that Liu Xie could not come forward for.
This discovery shocked Sima Yi. It was not that he had never seen people who looked similar. Yang Yanzhao, the sixth son of the Yang family, and Meng Yi, the second son of the Meng family. These two people, who had no blood relationship, were 80% similar.
But Yang Ping and Liu Xie are different. The two people are really exactly the same. Even if you look closely, you can't find any difference.
At this time, a bold idea appeared in Sima Yi's mind, that is, his sworn brother Yang Ping was not Yang Jun's son. He was actually the son of the late emperor, and he was twins with his Majesty Liu Xie. After all, otherwise it would be difficult to Explain why the two look exactly the same.
The secrets that Liu Xie and Yang Jun thought they were hiding were easily discovered by Sima Yi. Under Sima Yi's questioning, Yang Ping also admitted that he was the son of the late emperor. At the same time, he also hoped that Sima Yi'ang would keep it a secret because Liu Xie and Yang Jundu didn't know yet that he knew his identity.
Now, even though Sima Yi was being slow, he realized that his brother had changed, becoming a little less kind, a little deeper, and becoming more mature.
At the same time, Sima Yi also realized that he had entered a den of thieves. How could his younger brother Yang Ping be a pawn of the imperial party? Not only is he the emperor's twin brother, he is also one of the masterminds hiding behind the scenes.
Since Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, took refuge with Qin Wen, although the Sima family had been loyal to the Qin family and had never done anything to rebel against the Qin army, they were enough to be punished just by adopting Yang Ping and concealing it. Break into the ranks of the imperial party.
What's more, now Sima Yi has also been dragged into the water by Yang Ping. If one person is not handled well, the whole family will be implicated in the school, and the entire Sima family will be wiped out.
The Sima family was originally a general. After several generations of hard work, they got rid of their status as warriors and were accepted into the circle of officials by scholars. Every head of the family worked diligently for fear of ruining the legacy of generations of ancestors.
Sima Yi also shoulders the important task of reviving the Sima family, but he never thought that the Sima family would be destroyed because of him.
Sima Yi was angry that Yang Ping was plotting against him, and was so angry that he beat Yang Ping, who was still wearing a dragon robe, on the spot. In his eyes, Yang Ping was not only a fake emperor, but he was afraid that he would also beat the real emperor.
Yang Ping also knew that his actions had caused misfortune to both Sima Yi and the Sima family. He felt so guilty that he would never fight back even if Sima Yi beat him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Seeing that Yang Ping refused to fight back or retaliate, Sima Yi became even more angry. He grabbed Yang Ping's collar and shouted angrily: "Yang Ping, my Sima family is not kind to you, is this how you repay my Sima family? "
Yang Ping smiled miserably and explained: "Zhongda, I really didn't think that much at the time. I just thought that as long as you didn't touch those secrets, it would never affect the Sima family. Now it seems that I was still too naive. "
Sima Yi paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "So, you still blame me? I blame my curiosity for being so caught up in it that I can't extricate myself?"
If Sima Yi hadn't been driven by curiosity and insisted on asking about Yang Ping's life experience and the affairs of the Imperial Party, he wouldn't have been in a position where he couldn't escape now.
In general, Sima Yi has reached this stage entirely because of his own doing.
Of course, this was what Yang Ping had expected. He knew Sima Yi's temperament correctly and would definitely get to the bottom of it once he got involved. And when he really found out the truth, he couldn't get out at all.
Curiosity killed the cat!
"No, this is all my fault, Yang Ping. Zhongda, don't worry. Even if I, Yang Ping, risk my life, I will never harm the Sima family."
Seeing that Yang Ping took all the blame on himself, Sima Yi's expression softened slightly and sighed: "Oh, I really owe you, kid. What kind of evil did I, Sima Yi, do in my last life?"
Yang Ping was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhongda, what do you mean?"
"Um."
Sima Yi nodded and said helplessly: "Even if it's too late to quit now, I can only follow your way to the end.
I will let my father sever the father-son relationship with me and withdraw from the Sima family. From now on, everything I, Sima Yi, will do is just my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the family. "
Sima Yi had no choice but to do this. After all, he had been dragged into the water. In order not to implicate the family, he could only use this method to exonerate the family.
"Zhongda."
Yang Ping was moved and guilty at the same time. Sima Yi's sacrifice for him was really too great. How could he repay this kindness and friendship?
"Okay, let's talk about you. The little emperor doesn't recognize you as his biological brother. You are such a heartless and unjust person. Why do you still risk your life to help him plan?" Sima Yi asked.
Yang Ping's face darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "It's his business not to recognize me, and it's my own business to help the big man. No matter what, I can't watch the big man being destroyed again."
"Oh, my silly brother, eh?"
Sima Yi suddenly came to his senses and asked, "Once again? What do you mean once again?"
"Um, this..."
Yang Ping secretly thought that it was not good, he accidentally let the matter slip, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "It's nothing, I just said it smoothly.
By the way, Zhongda, I think this is an opportunity for the five armies of the Southern Han Dynasty to attack Qin. What do you think? "
Sima Yi didn't think too much and answered directly: "Although the main force of the Qin army went to Hebei, the force left behind is still strong. I am afraid that the Southern Han alone cannot accomplish anything.
Moreover, even if it succeeds, it will be the Southern Han court that benefits. For the Luoyang court headed by the young emperor, it is not necessarily a good thing. "
"Yes, but if the Qin army is not weakened, Qin Hao's power to dominate the world will be completely unstoppable."
Yang Ping sighed and asked: "Zhongda, do you think it is possible to lure Li Shimin into Luoyang and use Li Tang's power to fight against the Qin army alone?"
"Li Tang?"
Sima Yi suddenly exclaimed: "Ping'er, you are crazy. It was Li Shimin who intercepted and killed hundreds of officials. How can we let traitors like Li Shimin take control of Luoyang?"
"As for the incident of intercepting and killing hundreds of officials, I have found out that it was not Li Shimin who did it, but Jia Xu."
A sharp look flashed in Yang Ping's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Jia Xu wanted to weaken the power known as loyal Han, so he designed a plan to intercept and kill hundreds of officials who returned to the court, and framed the blame on Li Shimin."
"Is there any evidence? If we can produce evidence, it will certainly discredit Jia Xu."
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Yang Ping suddenly laughed bitterly, spread his hands and said: "Jia Xu, this old thief, is impeccable in his work. If evidence could be found, Li Shimin would not still be suffering from infamy."
