Facing the enemy on the battlefield, Sima Zhao will not be afraid of anyone, but when facing his own father, he is very afraid.
"My child, I know I was wrong!" Sima Zhao quickly gave up.
"Hmph!" Sima Yi snorted, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't you know, there are many pairs of eyes staring at our Sima family right now.
Just waiting to catch the Sima family."
"I'm sorry, father!" Sima Zhao said in a daze: "The child was neglectful."
"Okay, step back!" Sima Yi waved his hand and said: "Everything is as usual, just act as if nothing happened, just do whatever you have to do!" After that,
He continued to close his eyes and meditate.
"No!"
Sima Zhao did not dare to disturb his father anymore, so he saluted Sima Yi and left.
After Sima Zhao left,
Sima Yi frowned slightly.
My son’s worries are not unnecessary.
At present, Western Shu is the strongest among the Three Kingdoms... Then Liu Adou, will he send troops to Wei?
If a war breaks out between Han and Wei...what chance does Wei have of winning? Can it stop the Han army's attack?
Sima Yi thought about it secretly.
Although based on the comparison of strength on paper, Da Wei is nothing compared to the current big men, Sima Yi does not think that Da Wei is really powerless to fight back.
Just——
Now the person who is talking about the Wei Dynasty is General Cao Shuang, who controls the military power of the Wei Dynasty, and Sima Yi is now the prime minister and has no troops in his hands, which makes him less confident.
...
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Imperial Study Room,
"Your Majesty!"
General Cao Shuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, Western Shu will not dare to send troops to the Wei Dynasty in a short period of time!"
"Why is Aiqing so sure?" young Cao Fang asked.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Shuang replied: "Although Western Shu is strong, they have just experienced a nine-year war in the Western Regions. How brave is Liu Adou?
You can’t just return to Chang’an now,
Just start a new war right away?"
"And..." Cao Shuang looked happy and said, "Your Majesty, actually I have sent people to sneak into Chang'an..." Cao Shuang paused and said with a proud look, "Perhaps Liu Adou will be here soon."
We will run into trouble, so we have no intention of raising weapons again for the time being."
"Aiqing!" Cao Fang was also stunned, widened his eyes and asked: "Did Aiqing send someone to assassinate Liu Chan?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang quickly waved his hand and said: "Liu Adou has experienced hundreds of battles. It is not easy to assassinate him. I have no other plans." After that, he smiled and said to Cao Fang: "Your Majesty, don't
I doubt it will take long before I receive good news."
"Okay, okay!" Cao Fang nodded with satisfaction. Although Cao Shuang was not as intelligent as Sima Yi, he was more willing to trust Cao Shuang. After all, it was difficult for him to write two characters of "cao" in one stroke.
But Sima Yi was different. His superior intelligence made the king very afraid.
Cao Fang was convinced that he could not control this person like the late emperor.
What strategy did Cao Shuang use? Cao Fang did not ask.
Because he believed that Cao Shuang would never do anything to disgrace Wei.
Master Liu Chan returns to the DPRK,
It really made both Wei and Wu a little nervous, because in the past few decades, Liu Adou was too unexpected.
People used to say that Liu Adou was stupid and weak, but later people discovered that everyone in the world had been deceived by him.
Liu Adou’s ambition is not small.
...
Just when Cao Shuang was plotting and Sima Yi was worried, Soochow actually also made their response.
August 3, the twelfth year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 251).
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
"Foreign Minister Zhu Ying, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Ying. He had some impressions of this man. When he learned about the history of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he had seen records about this man.
Zhu Ying was an outstanding traveler during the Three Kingdoms period. He once traveled to the South China Sea with Kangtai, the envoy of Soochow, and wrote "Fufeng Foreign Objects". He was a scholar with outstanding talents.
Why did he come to Chang'an... Liu Chan muttered to himself, then smiled and said to Zhu Ying: "I have heard of Mr. Mister's name for a long time, and it is truly a blessing to meet him today."
???
All the civil and military ministers in the main hall were stunned. In fact, including Zhu Ying, they were also a little baffled, because Zhu Ying felt that he was not a famous person.
"Your Majesty is serious!" Zhu Ying saluted and said, "I heard that Your Majesty has made a triumphant return from the Western Expedition. My lord has sent foreign ministers here to congratulate Your Majesty."
Zhu Ying did not want to continue to be polite and directly explained the purpose of his mission to Chang'an.
The three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Wu were in power, but now the Han family is the dominant one. As the weakest force among the three kingdoms, it is really difficult for Soochow.
Sun Quan was really on pins and needles when he heard that Liu Chan's master had returned to the court this time, because he knew very well that Liu Chan had solved the hidden dangers in the Western Regions and would definitely plot against the Central Plains.
Finally, after discussing with hundreds of officials, it was decided to send envoys to Chang'an to show goodwill to Liu Chan.
"Sun Zhongmou, can your health be restored?" Liu Chan asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!" Zhu Ying said with a smile: "My Lord Shang'an!"
Haha——
Liu Chan cursed in his heart, saying that Sun Shiwan was really alive, even if he was the same in the original history. He successively killed Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Cao Pi, Cao Rui and other opponents, and lived until 252 AD.
He lived to be seventy years old.
Wait... Liu Chan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he thought of this.
'It is now 251 AD. If according to historical records, Sun Quan can live for a year at most, and he will die.'
'If Sun Quan is gone...this will be a good opportunity...' Liu Chan was overjoyed.
Because he traveled through time, many historical figures have undergone some changes, such as the veteran general Zhao Yun, Queen Zhang Yuan, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Qiao, and the previous emperor of Cao Wei, his brother-in-law Cao Rui, and their life spans have been more or less extended. < /p>
Zhao Yun, Zhang Yuan, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Chan knew the reason, because from the beginning, he asked them to pay attention to their health, such as teaching them to practice Tai Chi. But why Cao Rui lived a few more years, he didn't know.
But these are no longer important, what he cares about now is Sun Quan.
Although this Sun Shiwan is a bit duplicitous and likes to stab his allies in the back, he certainly has certain talents to be able to sit in the south of the Yangtze River and form a confrontation with the Han and Wei Dynasties in such troubled times.
As an opponent, Liu Chan hates this person.
As an outsider, I have to give him a thumbs up.
Those who can stand firm in troubled times are definitely not ordinary people.
Now the Han Dynasty has changed the historical pattern, but Liu Chan is still a little wary of these important figures who influence the era in history.
For example, Sima Yi of Cao Wei, who survived the death of Zhuge Wolong, a wise prime minister, and finally became the biggest winner of the Three Kingdoms, and Sun Shiwan, who likes backstabbing.
"When sir returns to Wu, please give my regards to Zhongmou!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Please tell Zhongmou that the alliance between Han and Wu is good, and let him take good care of himself. After all, time is not forgiving. Zhongmou is already over 10 years old. When you are seventy years old, you should be cautious."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Ying thanked him happily.
This time he entered Chang'an, he had no other mission, it was for the good of Wu Hanmeng. Now hearing Liu Chan's words, he was of course happy.
If Han and Wu are in harmony, he can go back and pay homage to Sun Quan.
Zhu Ying then stayed in Chang'an for a few days and then returned to Soochow. On the second day after he left Chang'an, a strange thing happened in Chang'an.
In the streets and alleys, people fell into panic.
"This is absolutely unbelievable!"
In the wine shop, a middle-aged scholar said angrily: "The Prime Minister has devoted his whole life to reviving the great Han Dynasty. There is no way he would have such an idea."
"Haha!" As soon as the scholar finished his words, a young man at the next table said with a sneer: "As the saying goes, if people don't care for themselves, heaven will destroy them. Even the prime minister does the same when his own interests are related."
"Nonsense!" The scholar stood up suddenly and said, "If the Prime Minister had other intentions, he could have replaced His Majesty for nine years since he was on the Western Expedition. Why did he choose to make this move after His Majesty's subordinates returned to the court?"
He was a little excited: "This must be caused by Cao Wei or Soochow Wu, trying to destroy the relationship between the monarch and his ministers of the Han Dynasty."
"A three-year-old child can see such a clumsy trick!" The scholar paused, looked at the people at the next table, and asked, "Are you not as good as a three-year-old child?"
This incident has aroused heated discussion on the streets of Chang'an these past two days.
I don’t know who was the first to say this, but it was said that Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, had a different intention, because in the past nine years, Liu Chan went on an expedition to the Western Regions, and everything in the Han Dynasty was handled by the Prime Minister alone.
Without Zhuge Liang's hard work, how could Liu Chan be able to conquer the Western Regions with peace of mind?
However, after Master Liu Chan returned to the court, except for personally driving Zhuge Liang's car on the day of his return, he did not give any commendation to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. Instead, he prepared to let someone else take over as prime minister on the grounds that Zhuge Liang was old.
Zhuge Liang was dissatisfied because of this incident.
The discord between the emperor and the emperor is no small matter.
Although most people didn't believe this when it first came out, as the discussion became more and more lively, many people began to worry.
Inside the Xuanshi Hall.
After listening to the eunuch's report, Liu Chan smiled instead of getting angry, which made the eunuch stunned. He said to himself, Your Majesty, you have such a big heart. Now that there are rumors on the streets, how can you still laugh?
But Liu Chan didn't care. He put down the memorial in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, I'm going to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
???
The eunuch was a little confused when he heard this, and thought that this was just a rumor. His Majesty should give an order to stop the rumors. Why did he first think of going to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you believe these rumors too, Your Majesty?
