The Nameless of the Common Clans

What does Prime Minister mean?

After a busy day of official duties, Sima Yi was walking home, recalling today's conversation with Chen Mo in his mind. He thought he was not bad, but he was not so arrogant that he thought he was the most powerful group of people around the prime minister. Among them, Li Ru was wily and scheming, Xun You was unparalleled in tact, and Xu Yuanzhi was by no means inferior to him, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was Jia Xu who sat next to Chen Mo with a smile most of the time.

Based on Sima Yi's understanding of Chen Mo, saying that you are very powerful would at least not be said in public. Jia Xu could not see anything, but just looking at Yang Xiu's expression at that time, he knew that Chen Mo's boast made Sima Yi invisible. It makes enemies.

The Prime Minister wants to harm himself?

Sima Yi felt that it was impossible. With Chen Mo's current status, if he really wanted to harm himself, there was no need to do this. Moreover, with Chen Mo's ambition and ambition, he shouldn't use this method. Regarding Chen Mo's personality and courage, Sima Yi was still very worried. I admire him for being able to employ people. He is the kind of genius who covers everything. However, he will not take over everything because of this. Instead, he is very good at delegating power to others. He is only responsible for looking at the overall situation. It is very difficult to work under such people. Comfortable.

Maybe it was just an unintentional remark.

Sima Yi dismissed these messy thoughts. Compared to Chen Mo, he now posed no threat at all. The Sima family was not tied together. He could not think of a reason for Chen Mo to suddenly harm him.

"Second brother, why are you so worried?" When he returned home, he saw Sima Fu coming back from outside. Seeing Sima Yi's appearance, he asked with some confusion.

"Think about some official matters." Sima Yi shook his head, looked at Sima Fu and said, "Where are you coming back from?"

"Today's literary meeting at Taixue College. You, the Minister, personally commented on the disciples of Taixue. I went to take a look." Sima Fu said with a smile.

As the main promoter of the Three Studies, Mi Heng is officially under the Order of Shangshu, but he is actually in charge of the entire Tianxia Academy. Now that the pattern of the Three Studies has been established, Mi Heng spends most of his time teaching disciples at Taiyuan Academy. At the beginning of each year, some outstanding disciples will be reviewed. Although this review is not a formal assessment, most of the disciples who have been reviewed and praised by him in the past have performed well in their official careers, so later on, people will subconsciously be able to be reviewed by Mi Heng. It is regarded as an honor and is also linked to future career.

It is precisely because of this awareness that not only Taiyuan disciples flock to Mi Heng's comments every year, but also many Luoyang aristocrats will send their own children to comment. The momentum is even more popular than Xu Zijiang's monthly comments back then, and now Mi Heng has the aura of a great Confucian scholar.

Now that the three studies have become popular, the world's structure has been changed by the prime minister so unknowingly. The attitude of the gentry and the gentry towards the three studies has also been rejected from the beginning, and now they are scrambling to build their own academies. Poor families Children who want to study now no longer have to beg as hard as they used to.

Sima Yi felt dumbfounded when he thought that his father was preparing to return to Wen County to open an academy after becoming an official. In the end, he was still working for the prime minister? If you can't even see the game clearly, how can you fight with others?

"It doesn't matter if you go and see more. Although there are many academies nowadays, they are not as organized as the three studies. My father wants to establish an academy belonging to my Sima family, and Shuda wants to seize the academy. Among these three studies, He is very knowledgeable. If our Sima family wants to open an academy in the future, we can follow his example." Sima Yi nodded and smiled.

Since my father wants to open an academy, it is actually not a bad thing. The Prime Minister is obviously encouraging this kind of thing now. The more academies are opened, the more talents there will be, which is destined to further weaken the power of the military, but the general trend has been established, even now So what if you see it clearly? It's not a bad thing that his father can't see clearly. Otherwise, Sima Yi really doesn't know what his father will do after knowing the truth, but he certainly won't be as active in starting an academy as he is now.

Back home, Sima Fang saw that although Sima Yi still didn't smile, he was no longer as calm as before. After all, those loyal people were now turning against Chen Mo. Sima Yi could probably understand his father's change in attitude. The reason was probably because he was tired. His goal seemed to be getting further and further away from them.

"Everyone, go down, Zhongda, you stay." Sima Fang waved his hand to everyone.

"Here..." Sima Fu bowed quickly and retreated with his servants and maids, leaving only Sima Yi here.

"What's the matter, father?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Fang curiously. Seeing his serious expression, he felt a little nervous. He was not going to do something again, right?

"Zhongda, please tell me the truth." Sima Fang looked at Sima Yi and said with a rare serious expression: "Now that the great Han Dynasty has been revived, is there really no chance of killing the Chen thief?"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Sima Yi's defection to Chen Mo, Sima Fang could see that among his sons, the only one who was truly capable and able to discern the situation was Sima Yi.

"Why did father ask this!?" Sima Yi was shocked and asked quickly.

Sima Fang frowned and said, "You just need to say yes or no!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Sima Yi shook his head decisively and said: "My child doesn't know who is planning this matter with his father, but my child just wants his father to dissociate himself from this matter immediately and not to have the slightest contamination, otherwise our Sima family will be There is a danger of annihilation!”

Just kidding, in the past few years when Chen Mo was not in Luoyang, and the main force was out, these people secretly communicated with Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, but they failed to shake Chen Mo's foundation. Now Chen Mo has defeated Cao Cao, occupied the Central Plains, and people's livelihood is becoming more and more stable. Whether it is the people or the court, they have been controlled by Chen Mo. Going against others is not courting death?

Sima Fang nodded, said nothing, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Father!" Sima Yi did not let him go, and grabbed Sima Fang and said, "This matter concerns the safety of my Sima family!"

Sima Fang frowned and shook his head and said, "Father did not agree!"

"Father, can you tell me about this in detail?" Sima Yi frowned and said, this is not a question of agreeing or not. The current posture obviously shows that the other party has contacted his father. This kind of thing, even if it is just a little involved, will cause the disaster of exterminating the family.

Sima Fang shook his head and said, "Although father did not agree, he can't harm them."

He knew that once he said it, his son would probably sell these people directly.

"I just want to know what they are going to do!" Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Father, have you ever thought that even if you don't participate in this matter, once these people are defeated and captured, they may turn around and confess you as an accomplice!"

The Sima family's reputation has been bad since Sima Fang became one of the three ministers. Sima Yi never believes in loyalty. In fact, how many people in this officialdom are emotional? If my father doesn't agree, then he may have been regarded as a political enemy by the other party.

Although Sima Fang is not as smart as Sima Yi, he has been in the officialdom for many years. He quickly understood the meaning of Sima Yi's words, and his brows gradually frowned, a little entangled.

"Father, I don't know what strategy the other party will use at this time, but with the current situation, no matter how you think about it, it will be difficult to succeed. Once it fails, father may be implicated by the other party!"

Sima Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "I think this plan may not be impossible."

"Father, please speak." Sima Yi looked at Sima Fang and said.

"I can't tell you his name, and they didn't tell me the whole story. They just said that although Chen Mo is powerful now, if Chen Mo dies suddenly, Chen Mo's forces will be leaderless and collapse immediately!" Sima Fang hesitated for a long time, and then said.

Assassination?

Sima Yi thought of the guards and sentries in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It would be more difficult for an assassin to get in than to assassinate the emperor. As for waiting for Chen Mo to leave the mansion, it was impossible. As far as Sima Yi knew, Chen Mo had two troops guarding him in secret. As for whether there were others, it was unknown. Who came up with such a bad idea? If this thing could be done, Chen Mo would not be alive until now. Do you really think that no one has thought of this method before?

Then he thought about it and felt that it was wrong. After the last battle of Luoyang, the court was cleaned up by Chen Mo. There were not many people in the court who were qualified and had the position to oppose Chen Mo. These people could not use such a childish method, and they could not even have this idea, and even moved it to their own father.

Without careful planning, the action plan was easily known to others. This... let alone a strategist, anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of the political world should not use this method. The countless assassinations in Xuzhou have proved that this road is not feasible, not to mention that it is in Luoyang, Chen Mo's base camp. It is impossible to assassinate Chen Mo in such a place.

Looking at Sima Fang, Sima Yi is sure that his father will not be able to tell who the other party is, but in order to clear the relationship, this matter must be told to Chen Mo as soon as possible, so as not to implicate the Sima family.

At this moment, Sima Yi saluted Sima Fang and turned away.

"Zhongda!" Sima Fang frowned and shouted, "Why are you so devoted to Chen Mo?"

"I am doing this to protect my Sima family!" Sima Yi sighed, looking at his father, feeling a little tired. If there was someone in his family who could see through the situation and avoid the sharp edge of others, he wouldn't have to run thousands of miles to serve others, let alone help Chen Mo do those dirty work. Sima Yi felt that his father should at least take half of the responsibility for the current embarrassing situation of the Sima family.

Sima Fang frowned when he heard this, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing more. Even if he still recognized the Han Dynasty in his heart, if he really had to sacrifice the entire Sima family for this, Sima Fang was obviously unwilling.

Sima Yi said nothing more. After bowing to Sima Fang, he turned around and ran out of the Sima Mansion quickly, heading straight for the Prime Minister's Mansion.
