In the thirty-second year of Zhenyuan, Wuzhou.
There is one of the most luxurious houses in the city in the east of the city, which is the residence of Xiao Ce, the second prince of Daqian.
Next to a lotus pond, there is a pavilion.
Xiao Ce was sitting in the rocking chair, listening to Xiao Mian reading the newspaper.
"On the third day of May, Kameda Jusanro and his accomplices were captured, and peace was restored in Nara Prefecture. This bandit suppression operation represents Dakan's hope that Japan can be peaceful and peaceful, and any attempt to destroy the peace between Dakan and Japan All the related forces and people will be wiped out..."
Xiao Mian read it and took a short rest.
He is now eight years old.
You can also recognize many words.
It's just that his body is weak and he looks a little sick.
"Father, I have finished reading this edition."
Xiao Ce slowly murmured: "Is Daqian already so powerful?"
Sima Yi, who was next to him, cleared his throat and said: "More than that, Japan is just an island country. According to historical records, the Japanese people probably came there when Xu Fu led people to the East China Sea in search of fairy mountains in the pre-Qin period. "
"Their development has always been in a relatively primitive period, and they are not even capable of creating a piece of light armor."
"Their so-called warriors all hold a sword and rely on skill."
"But if you really encounter a large imperial army, they will be nothing more than chickens and dogs."
"The true strength of Daqian is still reflected in the land of Xizhou!"
Xiao Ce sighed deeply and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare.
"well."
After a while, he finally couldn't help it and said softly: "It would be great if I... wasn't so stupid back then."
After saying that, his eyes dimmed and he didn't know what to say.
If he wasn't so stupid, he could be like Lao San and sail overseas to build a glorious palace on the shore of the Red Sea.
Like Lao San, he became a wise king of Daqian who was widely publicized by newspapers and praised by the people.
Have freedom.
No need to live in fear.
You can also take a look at the mountains and rivers of Daqian and the great rivers and mountains overseas.
He had seen the blond and blue-eyed overseas citizen. When he first saw him, he was amazed. He never thought that there was such a person in the world.
When I saw Kunlun Nu later, I was even more amazed.
There are still such people in the world.
It really is a vast world filled with wonders and wonders.
Later, I heard that the newspapers in Di had been reporting that King Xiao Zheng of Yan led his people on an overseas voyage, which was even more exciting than Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
This is what really happened.
Western Europe, Africa, America, the world's highest mountains, the world's largest canyons, the world's largest waterfalls, the world's largest deserts, hippos, kangaroos, koalas, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn...
It turns out that there are so many rare treasures in this world, and there are so many things that have never been seen or heard of before.
After waving Xiao Mian to go down and rest, Xiao Ce looked at Sima Yi beside him and asked, "Sir, my eldest brother is so wise and powerful. Why do you stay when Yu Shiji has left?"
Sima Yi replied directly: "The moment I praised Li Linfu's great achievements because of the letter, I already made a mistake."
"When I followed His Highness to Wuzhou, there was no way I could look back."
"Yu Shiji still wants to remain anonymous, and then rely on his own abilities to enter the Daqian court again."
"But the final result has been seen. Daqian's court cannot tolerate opportunistic and flattering people like him."
"If I follow His Highness, I can have good food and clothing in Wuzhou, so why should I sacrifice my roots to settle for the bottom?"
to be honest.
I would rather make a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
Yu Shiji's departure was actually done intentionally by him, Sima Yi, who secretly encouraged and tempted Yu Shiji to leave so that he could find a way out for him.
It's a pity that the crown prince of Daqian didn't seem to want to use those who had flattered Li Linfu, the traitorous prime minister.
Yu Shiji left Wuzhou, kept his name anonymous, and then hung out for two years before starting to work as a merchant under another name.
As a result, within a year, the company was robbed by others.
He also died mysteriously.
Sima Yi did not dare to investigate the real cause of Yu Shiji's death.
He was afraid of setting himself on fire.
this matter.
Xiao Ce didn't know.
After he arrived in Wuzhou, he felt depressed and left all the governance of Wuzhou to Sima Yi and Yu Shiji.
After Yu Shiji left, everything was left to Sima Yi.
And Sima Yi was really good at governing the place, and he used all the methods he thought of at the beginning.
Later, he directly implemented various policies promulgated by the prince Xiao Yi.
It really doesn't fool anyone. It can be said that it is one of the most active and effective places to implement the various national policies proposed by the Prince of Supervision.
Xiao Ce enjoyed it and was happy to see his palace becoming more and more luxurious. The people of Wuzhou were grateful to him, and the newspapers would also report some reports on how well he managed Wuzhou.
He...just needs to eat, drink and have fun.
Xiao Ce was very happy after listening to Sima Yi's words, and immediately rewarded Sima Yi with some rare treasures and the singer he had taught.
…
Autumn, the thirty-sixth year of Zhenyuan.
"What else does the prince wish for before his death?"
"I told you, will you do it?"
"Won't."
Xiao Ce murmured again: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"
It is true that justice is clear and retribution is unsatisfactory.
Thinking back to the time when he and the traitor Li Linfu poisoned his eldest brother for the sake of becoming the crown prince.
But now, for the sake of his own family, Sima Yi secretly poisoned him and made him die of illness in the Wuzhou Palace.
Xiao Ce only realized it after he vomited blood and wanted to have someone investigate secretly, but found that there was no one he could trust around him.
He couldn't even believe his own princess.
Because of Li Qiuya's presence, the person next to him might be the person who hurt him the most.
He didn't dare to drink medicine, didn't dare to eat, and didn't even dare to take a sip of water.
He is afraid.
Fear medicine is poison, and food and tea are also poisonous.
However, he was already sick. If he didn't eat, drink or take supplements, his condition would naturally get worse.
Only ten days.
The man has become skinny and skinny.
At this moment.
Sima Yi appeared.
He brought a whole family of people to the palace with the intention of serving the Witch King Xiao Ce, who was seriously ill.
In fact, it was to control the entire palace.
Then support Xiao Mian.
Only a Witch King who can be completely controlled by himself can ensure that the Sima family can cover the sky with one hand in Wuzhou.
Xiao Ce regretted his mistake.
Under Sima Yi's gaze, he died unwillingly.
Sima Yi's eyes flashed with light, and he began to let his own people take control of the palace and hold a funeral for the Witch King.
At the same time, they had to report to the imperial court and find ways to accept the investigation from the envoys sent by the imperial court and the supervisory censor and royal guards.
Xiao Ce was only in his thirties and was still very young, but he died of illness in the palace.
There must be an investigation, not only from the clan, but also from the supervisory censor and the royal guards, both openly and covertly.
Next, is the most critical time.
It’s about the future of the Sima family.
Sima Yi didn't dare to relax even a little bit.
