Chapter 31 4. The first prosperous age after the three generations of Yao, Shun and Yu

The candlelight is faint, dotted like stars, flickering and flickering.Candle tears condense on the bronze tree-shaped candle holder in the secret room, just like clusters of treetops covered with bright agates and pearls. Sima Fang was still sitting behind that square table as usual, with the red sandalwood chessboard and the two bowls of jade-carved chess pieces, one black and one white, still placed in front of him.Sima Yi and Sima Lang sat on the couches on the left and right respectively, with solemn expressions. "Judging from what you observed when you visited Xun Lingjun today, the Yingchuan Xunmen should really have completely given up on continuing to be loyal to the Cao family. Xun Lingjun even gave Hua Xin the position of commander in charge behind Xudu. , It seems that he is going to completely fade out of the Cao family's core circle of influence, and refuse to cooperate with the Cao family." Sima Fang shot straight at Sima Yi, and said slowly, "All this is for my Sima family. , is definitely a most fortunate thing. Yingchuan Xunmen is the most important pillar of the Cao family's power. If it is torn down by itself, the foundation of the Cao family will collapse. I will be more confident in dealing with the Cao family. gone."

The brothers Sima Lang and Sima Yi nodded silently. "By the way, Yi'er, when you mentioned that Mr. Xun Ling seemed to attach great importance to our Sima family? He even had ardent expectations for you as a 'tool of warp and weft'?" Sima Fang frowned slightly, somewhat incomprehensible He said to himself, "Could it be that he has secretly noticed the general idea of ​​our Sima family's sudden emergence, late attack, and turning the world around"? This...it's impossible." "This... my child once had such suspicions. However, after thinking about it carefully, now the Xudu imperial court has four great families with deep roots and rich leaves, which can be called the crown of famous families - one is the former Taiwei Yang Biao. The Yang family in Guanzhong, from Yang Zhen, the famous minister of Emperor Xiao'an, to Yang Biao today, is a wealthy family of four generations and three lords, with a great reputation; The disciples can be said to be a collection of talents, each living in important places, all over the world. The potential power of this prominent family is the largest in the world; the third is the Shandong Wang family headed by the admonishing doctor Wang Lang. Rulin Guanmian; the fourth is our Hanoi Sima family..." Sima Yi pondered for a while, and finally let out the thoughts that he had pondered so hard in his heart.

"However, if Xun Lingjun decided to withdraw from the cooperation with the Cao family, it means that the Yang, Xun, and Wang families of the four great families have alienated the Cao family together, and my Sima family has a well-known old relationship with the Cao family. We cannot and do not have to 'cut' with the Cao family. In this case, our Sima family has become an invisible force between the Yang, Xun, and Wang families and the Cao family. Facing the Yang, Xun, and Wang families , my Sima family has the same cultural background and close personal connections with them, at least they will not hate our Sima family as much as they hate Hua Xin and Dong Zhao; facing the Cao family, our Sima family has a long history with them Therefore, the old family relationship, and the Cao family also needs to rely heavily on our Sima family and the Yang, Xun, and Wang families to check and balance each other, so they naturally blindly win over my Sima family...

"In this way, in the wise eyes of Xun Lingjun, he can clearly see that only the Cao family and my Sima family are left to stand on the big stage of the current situation and gallop freely. Yes. The Cao family is still standing in the bright, the high, and the strong; my Sima family is still hiding in the dark, low, and weak. But, as long as time passes, our Sima will also You can take advantage of the opportunity to change from weak to strong, from low to high, and from dark to bright. In other words, since Mr. Xun Ling did not want the Cao family to complete the task of "pacifying the world and benefiting the common people", he had no choice but to turn his head. It is an 'either-or' question, and Xun Lingjun may have to choose this way. My lord father, I wonder if my child's opinion is right or not?"

Sima Fang stroked his beard slowly, thought for a long time, and then said: "There is some truth in what you said...Xun Lingjun is a sage through the ages, and his talents are unparalleled. In the end, all his hard work and contributions have gone from From a distance, it is said that it was a wedding dress for the Cao family, and from a distance, it is said that it was a wedding dress for my Sima family, it is really embarrassing to think about it carefully!" After hearing this, Sima Yi thought to himself: In fact, this is what I admire most about Teacher Ling Jun—sacrificing oneself for others, passing on the torch from generation to generation, even though he is dead, his career is immortal!As long as anyone can truly realize his great ambition of calming the world and benefiting the common people, he is willing to sacrifice everything and give up everything.In the past, he chose the Cao family in Peijun; now, he secretly chose my Sima family in Hanoi-this is really a rare blessing from the Sima family!I really can't imagine that a mere Kong Rong, with his righteous deed of sacrificing his life for the Han Dynasty, actually promoted the complete break between Xun Lingjun and Cao Cao, thus adding a huge boost to the great cause of our Sima family's grand ambition... Thick too.

While he was thinking to himself, Sima Fang said slowly to him again: "However, my father heard you repeat what he said just now. Every word and every word can be said to be golden and jade good words. You must remember them in your heart. I am a child of the Sima family. It means that we should inherit the grand plans and ambitions passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. On the one hand, we should fight all over the court and be invincible; for my use... "It's just that some of Xun Lingjun's words are a little blunt. The great ambition of calming the world and helping the common people not only needs the foundation of extraordinary talents, but also needs the backing of great authority. This point, Lang'er, Yi'er, you all have to be firm Keep in mind. The ancients said: "A virtuous person who submits to an unworthy person will have power and a humble position; an unworthy man who can submit to a sage will have power and dignity. Yao is an ordinary man and cannot rule three people; Jie is the son of heaven." From this, I know that the power and position are enough to stand up and act. How can I realize the ambition of "pacifying the world and benefiting the common people" when I have no power or power in my hands? Therefore, my Sima family At present, the most important thing is to seize the power of the world, and we should not slack off. After the power is monopolized, our Sima family, with the talents of the world, will surely bring the world back to unity, the world will return to peace, and the people will regain happiness. The first prosperous age after the three generations of Shun and Yu!"

Hearing his father's words, the flame of passion in Sima Yi's heart seemed to be ignited again, his whole body was full of vigor, and he was eager to try and do a big job.
