The source of the problem is the famous figure who usurped the throne of Cao Wei in later generations: Sima Yi.
The most powerful thing about Sima Yi is not his strategy, nor his superhuman endurance, but his lasting vitality. Born in 179, he lived to 251 and survived three generations of monarchs of Cao Wei and lived for seventy years. Two years old. You must know that in ancient times when medical facilities and technology were backward, anyone who could live to the age of seventy-two was considered to be the oldest among them.
Sima Yi is only twenty-seven years old this year. If he lives according to the records, he can still live to be forty-five years old. If Zhang Xiu is not careful, he can be sent away directly, which makes Zhang Xiu a little embarrassed.
When Cao Pi was defeated and fled, Sima Yi saw clearly the situation in the world. Cao Wei was exhausted and would be destroyed by Dajing in a few years. He decisively did not flee with Cao Pi, but chose to stay in the city and surrender. Zhang Xiu. Prepare to serve in the Dajing Dynasty.
This gave Zhang Xiu a headache. He would rather let Sima Yi, a great man, go to the Cao Wei camp, Liu Chu camp, or Sun Wu camp, but not come to him, or just let him die in Yecheng. But he happened to find himself.
In Zhang Xiu's opinion, this guy is simply a bastard in history, he is so lively.
What's even more uncomfortable is that I can't kill him yet.
The Sima family was an exception on the historical stage of the late Han Dynasty. Sima Fang's eight sons are known as Sima Bada. Not only are they talented in both civil and military affairs, but they also live long lives. Unlike other families, where everyone bets separately, the Sima family is extremely united, with all their forces united into one, and there is almost no internal struggle within the family.
With Sima Yi's arrival, all seven brothers came naturally.
Sima Lang, Sima Yi, Sima Fu, Sima Kui, Sima Xun, Sima Jin, Sima Tong, and Sima Min.
These eight brothers penetrated every corner of the Dajing Dynasty, how could they have to empty the Zhang Dynasty?
Fortunately, the Sima family was only a second-rate noble family, and in the late Han Dynasty, their influence was not great. Zhang Xiu does not need to hire all of these eight brothers, as this can greatly alleviate the harm caused by Sima Bada. No matter how talented and powerful they are, Zhang Xiu does not dare to use them.
If he kills them, Zhang Xiu will be blamed for harming the virtuous. This reputation for harming virtuous people was very fatal in the late Han Dynasty. The world was uncertain, and Zhang Xiu needed more capable people with lofty ideals to join his team. If he had this reputation, who would dare to come?
So Zhang Xiu had a headache.
To kill or not to kill?
To use or not to use?
Can't kill, dare not use, it's a dilemma.
Lying on the rocking chair, Zhang Xiu closed his eyes and thought quietly. Suddenly, a pair of gentle hands gently massaged his shoulders. Without thinking, he knew that it was Huang Yueying massaging behind.
Huang Yueying saw that he was frowning, so she asked: "Today, I came to see the emperor frowning, and he stopped talking and smiling. Why are you so worried?"
Zhang Xiu sighed and expressed his worries.
Huang Yueying thought for a while, then smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, you are 'confused by the authorities'."
Zhang Xiu opened his eyes and looked at Huang Yueying's beautiful face, his eyes sparkling with crystal light, and asked with a fond smile: "Please teach me, Queen."
Huang Yueying smiled and said: "How dare I, my concubine, go to the emperor? Since the Sima family has several talented people, the emperor can use them liberally without giving him real power or the opportunity to lead troops. So what if he has different intentions? Our soldiers in Dajing are loyal to Dajing, not to individuals. What's more, the emperor's dragon body is strong and can last longer than Long Live, how can he compare with it?"
Huang Yueying's words made Zhang Xiu's eyes light up.
The latter words are flattering, but the first words do make sense.
At that time, Cao Pi was the unbeatable Zhuge Liang in Cao Wei, forcing Cao Pi to reuse Sima Yi and give him military power. Now, on our side, we have talented people such as Jia Xu, Li Ru, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, etc., and we have generals such as Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Ren, etc. in military affairs. No matter what, it will not be his Sima family's turn. What's more important is that all the soldiers of Dajing have entered the school. They don't just obey orders from the Sima family easily, they will only obey the orders of Emperor Dajing.
With these prerequisites, the Sima family has no chance to take advantage.
Besides, Zhang Biao, the king of his future generations, was trained by him. He was a wise king with both civil and military skills, and even surpassed Zhang Xiu himself. What should he worry about?
Taking a step back, even if something happens to the king of his future generations, he can take Sima Bada away under various names before his death, so that they will have too much ability to fight with him to the Hall of Hell.
Suddenly there was a calculation in my heart.
Smiling, she said to Huang Yueying: "Empress, you are really my good wife! One sentence made it clear to me, well... I have to reward you well today."
Huang Yueying asked curiously: "What are you going to reward me for?"
Zhang Xiu smiled evilly, hooked her slender waist, held her in his arms and said, "I will reward you... a fever-reducing needle."
Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this fever-reducing injection meant.
Suddenly, she felt something hard pressing against her back. She immediately understood what this antipyretic injection meant. She blushed shyly and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you really don't behave properly in broad daylight." !”
Zhang Xiu laughed loudly, picked up Huang Yueying, and walked towards the dormitory.
Su Jin hurriedly asked the eunuchs and maids around to get out.
Not long after, Huang Yueying's happy and excited moans came from the room.
…
In the study pavilion.
Sima Yi stuck his butt out and knelt down respectfully, his forehead touching the ground.
Zhang Xiu sat on the rocking chair and looked at the famous Sima Yi in front of him. He looked at it carefully for a while and asked: "I heard that when Zhongda was in Cao Wei, he was the prince's concubine and was not worthy of his official position. Why did he betray Cao Wei and join the army?" Jing?”
Sima Yi didn't even dare to stand up: "A good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to work. Jizhou has been lost, Kyoto has been destroyed, Cao Wei's vitality has been greatly weakened, and the situation will not be long! Under the wise leadership of the emperor, Dajing is at its peak. Unification of the world is just around the corner, I am willing to abandon darkness and surrender to the light, for the sake of great peace and to serve the emperor."
This is beautifully said.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Okay, since you are determined to serve Dajing, I appreciate your vision. I wonder if you want any position?"
Sima Yi: "Please let the emperor decide."
Zhang Xiu: "You are not a Jinshi, and you have no substantial achievements in Cao Wei. It is difficult for you to hold a high position, so I will start from a young age and appoint you... as the prefect of Shangjun. I will observe your achievements in three years."
This official position is neither high nor low, and it is considered worthy of his talent.
Sima Yi kowtowed and thanked him.
He also wanted to recommend some of his brothers, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. The Sima family had just come to Dajing and did not dare to ask for too much. They could only wait for themselves to get up before leading other brothers to get up.
