Sima Fang turned his eyes away, lowered his head slightly and did not look at Lu Xuan. He said seriously: "Reporting to King Wu, I believe that unification of the world is the general trend and is the destiny of King Wu."
Lu Xuan nodded and continued to ask: "Does Mr. Sima have anything else to say?"
"No!"
Sima Fang expressed his position: "I will obey King Wu's arrangements in everything."
Lu Xuan chuckled, still looking at Sima Fang.
Under such a look, Sima Fang's heart beat, because there was something wrong with Lu Xuan's attitude.
Sima Fang was confused and could only endure it.
Lu Xuan looked at Sima Fang's very well-behaved actions and responses, thought of everything in Sima Fang's past, and suddenly understood the origin of Sima Yi, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
The Sima Fang in front of him is the father of ninjas.
This is a patient and low-key person.
When Dong Zhuo first took over Luoyang, Sima Fang served as Jing Zhaoyin, the governor of the imperial capital, and held a high position of power. However, Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, so Sima Fang followed Dong Zhuo to Chang'an without saying a word, and everything followed the arrangements.
This does not mean that Sima Fang is weak and incompetent.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si fought hard, but Sima Fang still tolerated it, stayed firmly by the emperor's side, and followed the emperor. As the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, he was a veteran of the Han Dynasty.
On Liu Xiedong's way back to Luoyang, Sima Fang followed him all the time. If he had been weak and fearful, he would have had countless opportunities to leave the emperor and return home, but he was always stuck in the court.
When Liu Xie arrived in Luoyang, Sima Fang was a veteran of the Han Dynasty. He did not submit to Cao Cao. He retreated to the second line and remained patient. However, he asked Sima Lang to work for Cao Cao and gradually became the core of Cao Cao.
At the same time, Sima Yi was suppressed by Sima Fang and studied at home, shutting himself up.
This is Sima Fang's sophistication.
The family members are divided into three directions.
Among them, Sima Fang was on the emperor's side. He was an old man from the Han Dynasty and an old minister. He had stayed with the emperor for many years and was highly respected. Sima Lang served under Cao Cao and became a shareholder of the Cao family, opening up another path for the Sima family.
Lu. Sima Yi, the second son at home, is responsible for the continuation of the family.
If there is a problem in any line, the Sima family will not be affected.
This is Sima Fang's layout and arrangement.
This is the same as the layout of the Xun family. It is a standard arrangement for aristocratic families. They do not put their eggs in one basket, and each has their own escape route.
Some people also say that the Zhuge family in Langya also placed their bets separately.
In fact, the essence is different.
Xuzhou was massacred by Cao Cao, and the Zhuge family moved away. Zhuge Jin escaped from Zhuge Liang and had no choice but to live in Jiangdong, where he still lived a hard life. This was not an arrangement made by the family, but was forced to wander there.
When Zhuge Liang went to Jingzhou, he wandered there with his uncle Zhuge Xuan. Historically, Zhuge Xuan initially defected to Yuan Shu. Later, Yuan Shu was defeated and his support for Zhuge Xuan was limited, so Zhuge Xuan went to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao.
Zhuge Dan himself served as an official in Wei.
The Zhuge family's arrangements were all due to the helplessness of the current situation. They wandered separately and had different life encounters. They did not have the strong backing of the family, let alone the family's plans and arrangements.
For large families like the Xun family and the Sima family, the family has always been a strong backing, taking the initiative to make bets.
Sima Yi rose up step by step and became a fox.
But Sima Fang is the real old fox. In other words, this is the norm among big families, and many big families are like this. However, the Sima family is becoming more and more patient with each generation.
Sima Fang can endure it.
Sima Yi was even better than his predecessor, but when it came to Sima Zhao, he simply couldn't bear it anymore and went to extremes.
Lu Xuan thought about the arrangements of the Sima family and did not speak for a while. There is no doubt that the people in the Sima family are capable, especially Sima Lang and Sima Yi, both of whom are both civil and military, and are capable of shepherding and guarding one side.
Sima Fang's other sons are not bad either.
From this point of view, Sima Fang did have a good way of teaching his sons. Each of his sons could become talented, which was quite impressive.
Sima Fang is old, which is actually easy to arrange.
Sima Lang is okay, but Sima Yi is a little more complicated.
Sima Yi's success in usurping the throne is a series of very special and low-probability events. As long as the two generations of kings Cao Pi and Cao Rui, no matter who lives longer, or Cao Shuang is more bloody, Sima Yi cannot succeed, and he can only live a lifetime.
Forbearance.
Sima Yi can be ruthless.
Such a person can be used to make knives, even more extreme knives than Chen Deng, and let Sima Yi take the blame. In a word, Sima Yi becomes Lu Xuan's dirty glove. Sima Yi can do many things that cannot be done.
This is the best arrangement.
It's a pity to kill talented people. The most important point is that if someone makes no mistakes, killing the scholars below without permission can easily cause discussion and break the rules.
Using Sima Yi is the best arrangement.
When Lu Xuan was thinking, Yang Biao looked as usual, without any fear or uneasiness. However, Lu Xuan remained silent, and the direction of Lu Xuan's eyes was staring at Sima Fang.
This made Sima Fang feel uncomfortable.
Sima Fang was beating a drum in his heart.
He can endure it.
He can go with the flow.
He knows how to organize the family.
However, facing an unprecedentedly powerful person like Lu Xuan, Sima Fang was really at a loss. Cao Cao was already very powerful, and it was conceivable that Cao Cao even lost to Lu Xuan. The most important thing was that Lu Xuan was not as good as Dong Zhuo.
Foolish and perfunctory.
People like Lu Xuan are extremely shrewd and cannot be fooled or deceived.
You can't hide it from people like this.
Sima Fang finally lost his composure and asked proactively: "The king has been staring at the old man. Did the old man say something wrong?"
Lu Xuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sima Gong, I was distracted just now because I was thinking about the arrangements for Sima Gong and the Sima family. I heard that Sima Gong had eight sons, known as Sima Bada.
Outstanding ability."
Sima Fang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's award is just a nonsense among the people and cannot be taken seriously."
Lu Xuan said: "What is Sima Lang's official position now?"
Sima Fang replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, Sima Lang serves as the county magistrate of Yiyang County in Hongnong County."
Lu Xuan nodded.
Historically, Sima Lang first served in a local position and served as the magistrate of Yuancheng County. Then, he was transferred to Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion and became Cao Cao's confidant.
In this life, Cao Cao's main forces were all in Guanzhong.
Although Sima Lang served under Cao Cao, his trajectory changed and he was assigned to serve in Yiyang County.
Lu Xuan ordered: "With Sima Lang's ability, it is a bit unqualified to serve as the county magistrate of Yiyang. Let's do this. Sima Lang will go to Shu County to serve as the county magistrate of Shu County. The old capital of Wu State needs to be managed, and he
If you have the ability, it will be a good fit.”
"As you command!"
Sima Fang answered immediately.
Lu Xuan's arrangement allowed Sima Fang to go to the south to take up a post, but taking charge of the former capital was tantamount to a promotion.
This is Lu Xuan's cultivation.
Sima Fang simply couldn't refuse, and he had to thank Lu Xuan for his support.
Lu Xuan changed the subject and continued: "Sima Yi, the second son of Lord Sima, is also said to have outstanding abilities. What do you think of my king's plan to let him work for me?"
