- ¡ª¡ªAt the beginning of the fifth year of Jian¡¯an, Xu Du¡ª¡ª
It has been more than eight months since Zhang Susu captured Jingzhou. As this woman became more and more powerful, no one in the government or the public dared to say no to her.
Even though everyone knows that the man who calls himself Liu Xie behind the curtain of the Golden Palace is just a puppet to replace the emperor.
Ah, these ministers in the court actually know that the real emperor Liu Xie escaped from Xudu with the help of his close minister Jia Xu half a year ago, but what can they do?
The current courtiers are just relying on Zhang Susu to survive. To put it nicely, they are ministers of the court. To put it worse, they are just decorations, worse than the clay statues in the temple.
The real power was held by Zhang Susu's confidant Cheng Yu. Even Xun Yu could not change this fact.
"If something happens, report it early; if nothing happens, retreat!"
According to the usual practice, the person sitting behind the curtain pretending to be Liu Xie never said a word from beginning to end. To be honest, this is a very unreasonable thing, but who dares to say it?
You must know that because of this matter, Cheng Yu and Zhang Susu killed hundreds or even thousands of people in the past six months?
Ah, there are some things that you can just pretend not to know. People who live too clearly will die quickly.
Perhaps because he clearly understood this, Sima Yi was not in a hurry to gain fame in these years. However, Zhang Susu promoted him several times. It was not so much because of his talent that he cared about him and Chen Su. Friendship.
¡°Well, let¡¯s talk about it. I haven¡¯t seen that woman for more than half a year
With some suspicion. Sima Yi was walking on the way home.
"Lord Sima!"
"Lord Sima!"
Most of the colleagues in the DPRK who passed by bowed their hands to Sima Yi and saluted, although some of them had even higher official positions than Sima Yi, which made Sima Yi more convinced of his ideas.
"Nepotism"
I remember that when Sima Yi was a child, he hated the phenomenon of nepotism in the court, but as a person involved, he felt a little
"Haha, maybe this is a common problem among people, even Sima Yi is not immune.
"Come back?" After returning to the mansion, his wife Zhang Chunhua was reading a book in the house when she saw her husband coming home. Get up and greet each other.
"Hmm!" Sima Yi nodded, handed the mink velvet blouse to his wife, then took the hot tea from his wife, sat on the chair and took a sip. It felt like a sip of hot tea dispelled all the coldness in my body.
"How is the situation between North Korea and China today?" asked his wife Zhang Chunhua.
"It's still the same thing. Cheng Yu is in charge of all major affairs in the court"
"Is that woman still not showing up?"
"Well!"
"It's really strange. It's been half a year. What has she been doing? Is she planning to deal with Cao's old officials?" Zhang Chunhua said in surprise.
"I don't think much of my husband," Sima Yi said with a faint smile, shaking his head, "The remaining officials are not fools. How could they attack Zhang Susu when she was so powerful? They killed a lot of people in those two times half a year ago. The rest of the people are probably scared out of their wits. That guy Cheng Yu is not a good person, and that Zhang Susu is not a soft-hearted person"
"That's right," Zhang Chunhua nodded in agreement. Then, as if she had thought of something, she sat down on the seat opposite Sima Yi. He said earnestly, "But husband, you are too carefree these days, right? Logically speaking, the relationship between you and General Chen Sui is as long as your husband fights for it. It is not impossible to be the third prince, but my husband What? Now he is still a little Huangmen servantI don¡¯t believe it anymore. If my husband asks for an official position, the woman will refuse"
"What's wrong with the Minister of Huangmen?" Sima Yi's face turned red and he opened his eyes and retorted, "When my husband is walking on the street, don't those generals and ministers salute to my husband one by one?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua rolled his eyes at his husband helplessly.
Speaking of which, she was originally from a famous clan in Hedong. When she first married Sima Yi, it was actually because her family took a fancy to the power of Sima Yi's brother Sima Lang in the court, and she was a little unhappy at first.
But after getting married, Zhang Chunhua gradually realized that she seemed to have underestimated her husband. You know, she was quite confident in her knowledge, but in front of Sima Yi, she was as childish as a child, which was even more shocking. Unexpectedly, her husband was valued by the most powerful woman in the court.
Under great doubt, Zhang Chunhua asked himself:Only then did she learn that her husband was a close friend of the former General Chen Su.
God, after more than three years of marriage, she has never heard of this.
You must know that in the past six months, Xu Du has spread rumors more than once, saying that Zhang Susu's march to Jingzhou this time was not to regain the world, but to retrieve General Chen Su, who was rumored to have died in the Battle of Wuchao.
A powerful woman is so determined to find a man. Apart from feelings, is there anything else involved?
¡°At least Zhang Chunhua didn¡¯t believe it.
It is precisely because of this that she became somewhat dissatisfied with her husband.
¡°Well, it¡¯s not that she¡¯s dissatisfied, it¡¯s just that she can¡¯t stand the way her husband behaves.
You said that you took the initiative to seek an official position from that woman Zhang Susu?
"Isn't life just for fame and fortune?"
???????????????????? If you ascend to the position of the Three Dukes, wouldn¡¯t that be the glory of the Sima family and the Zhang family? Wouldn't it bring a lot of convenience to these two families?
Really!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunhua glanced at her husband angrily.
Seeing this, Sima Yi quickly lowered his head, pretending not to see it.
Speaking of which, since his wife Zhang Chunhua gave birth to a son, her status in the Sima family has become higher and higher, and she has also won the favor of the old lady. Even among Sima Yi's brothers, she also has a lot of prestige, at least Sima Yi's eldest brother Sima Lang praised her more than once, which made Sima Yi feel even more stressed.
Sima Yi admitted. What the wife said is correct. If he becomes successful, the Sima family and Zhang family will definitely get a lot of benefits, but the problem is
well!
"Okay, don't say any more!" Sima Yi's expression turned gloomy for some reason.
"Obviously Zhang Chunhua is also a well-educated and good wife and mother. Even when she is admonishing her husband, she will leave room for him. Therefore, Sima Yi looked unhappy when he saw this. She stopped talking, just looking at her expression, she still felt a little pity about it.
At this moment, a housekeeper hurried out of the house. He said with a strange expression, "Master, madam"
"What's up?"
"Thisjust now the servant came to report that the Prime Minister's Mansion invited me to a banquet"
"Ah?" Sima Yi was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said in confusion, "Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"yes¡¡"
"Did you mention that you invited others?"
"This, it seems that the Prime Minister's Mansion invited the master alone"
"Invite me alone? - I understand, go down!"
"yes!"
Looking at the butler¡¯s leaving figure. There was some doubt on Sima Yi's face, and he looked back at his beloved wife and said, "That Zhang Susu has not shown up for half a year. This time, I suddenly sent someone to invite me. I always feel that something is wrong This is out of season. That Zhang Susu invited me." do what?"
Zhang Chunhua nodded, convinced. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly suggested, "Why don't you just resign due to illness?"
"Do you want to die?" Sima Yi rolled his eyes at his beloved wife angrily. He knew very well that once he used illness as an excuse to refuse, Zhang Susu would send someone to take him away again within an hour. That woman doesn't care if you are sick in bed.
"What do you mean, husband?"
"Let's take a look!" He stood up lazily. Sima Yi picked up the mink velvet blouse on the shelf nearby, exhaled and said, "Logically speaking, that woman won't do anything to me"
"That's right!" Zhang Chunhua nodded in agreement. After all, there is really no grudge between Sima Yi and Zhang Susu.
After giving a few instructions to his beloved wife, Sima Yi put on his coat, walked out of his mansion, and walked through the snow on the road towards Zhang Susu's Prime Minister's Mansion.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sima Yi took a look at the horse-tying stones on the outer wall of the house and found that there were no horses or carriages stopping.
"It seems that Zhang Susu really invited me. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
Sima Yi secretly sighed and walked towards the door of the mansion. As the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. If you really encounter a disaster, it will be useless no matter how you escape.
Fortunately, the guard at the gate was still so polite to him, which made him secretly relieved, although he also knew that the attitude of these guards was not enough to prove anything.
"Lord Sima!" Suddenly, a sweet cry startled Sima Yi.
Sima Yi turned around and saw Zhang SusuYi'er, his personal maid, was standing at the door of the mansion, waiting for him.
"Miss Yi'er!" Sima Yi bowed deeply. After all, this little girl is Zhang Susu's confidant maid. Furthermore, she seems to have some ambiguous relationship with General Zhang Liao. Even if it is just for Zhang Liao, who has a good relationship with him, Sima Yi has to Be polite.
Of course, having said that, it was precisely because of this that Sima Yi's anxious heart calmed down a little.
Since the maid came to greet him in person, it proved that Zhang Susu did not invite her this time to harm herself, but for what reason, Sima Yi still couldn't figure it out.
"I dare to ask Miss Yi'er, is the Prime Minister inviting Xiao Ke alone this time?"
"Well, yes," Yi'er, who was leading the way, nodded, turned around and said, "This time, the lady only invited Master Sima!"
"I don't know what's going on?"
"This" Yi'er's face showed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment, and she said, "Master Sima will know this later"
Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this, because looking at Yi'er's expression, it seemed that she knew about it. Since she knew about it and was so polite to him, it meant that this time it was not a disaster.
Is it a good thing?
With doubts, Sima Yi followed his maid Yi'er all the way to the depths of the Prime Minister's City, until they arrived at a relatively remote house.
"Miss is right inside" She turned around and said to Sima Yi. Yi'er opened the door and asked Sima Yi to come in.
He glanced at the room where the light was obviously insufficient. Sima Yi took a deep breath. Striding in, even though he was sure that the invitation to come was not malicious, when Yi'er closed the door, he was still shocked and a little nervous.
"Is it Zhongda?" Quietly, a woman's voice came from inside the house.
Sima Yi squinted his eyes. After adapting to the dim light in the room, he realized that the sound was coming from the bed in the corner of the room.
Through the gauze hanging in front of the bed, Sima Yi could faintly see a figure lying on his side on the bed.
"It's Xiao Ke" Sima Yi responded quickly. Then I felt something was wrong, so I bowed deeply and said seriously, "Your Majesty, Sima Zhongda. Pay my respects to the Prime Minister!"
"Zhongda is one of our own, so there is no need to be so formal!" Zhang Susu on the bed chuckled and said, "Sit down!"
Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this, and looked around, only to find that a seat had been set up in the room, with several plates of side dishes and a small jug of wine on the table.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for giving me a seat!" Sima Yi saluted again as a thank you, and Sima Yi sat down at the table respectfully. At this time. Yi'er came over and poured him a glass.
"Thank you so much! - Thank you Prime Minister for the fine wine!" Sima Yi thanked him profusely and drank it all in one gulp.
As for those side dishes, he didn't touch them. Firstly, it was so outrageous, and secondly, he really had no appetite.
Also, there is a strange woman like Zhang Susu who is so frightened by the world. Can he still have appetite?
"Hey, Zhongda. Today I invite you here, not as the prime minister. Therefore, Zhongda really doesn't need to be so restrained"
"Yes, yes, Wei Chen understands ah no. Xiao Ke understands!"
"Giggle," Zhang Susu smiled slightly on the bed. Then he chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I have really wronged Zhongda these years. Zhongda suddenly made friends at a young age, but I did not take much care of Zhongda, so that Zhongda's official position is still limited to Mr. Huangmen, right?"
"Yes no, Xiao Ke has little talent and little knowledge, and is dull in qualifications. He feels uneasy and uneasy to be the assistant minister of Huangmen. How can he dare to hope for a high position?"
"Zhongda is humbled. I know Zhongda's talent and knowledge Well, from tomorrow onwards, Zhongda will be promoted to the position of Taiwei. Anyway, the former Taiwei Yang Biao has repeatedly submitted letters to resign and return to his hometown"
"Tai Taiwei?" Sima Yi was really surprised. You must know that the distance between Huangmen Shilang and Taiwei is far more than two or three levels. They are simply rising through the ranks.
If it were anyone else, he would have been ecstatic by now, and only Sima Yi could stay awake at this moment.
How could a man as wise as Sima Yi not know how Zhang Susu could give him such benefits for no reason? It was obvious that this woman wanted him to do something.
It¡¯s not good
It¡¯s really not good
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Sima Yi¡¯s mind.
Rejection? He didn't dare.
accept? But he didn't know what the woman in front of him wanted him to do.
Just when Sima Yi was in a lot of troubleAfter a while, Zhang Susu said lightly, "Then let's decide. Tomorrow morning, I will ask Zhongde to convey this matter to all the officials!" The Zhongde in her mouth refers to Cheng Yu.
"Yes thank you, Prime Minister!" Sima Yi said with a wry smile and secretly sighing.
Taiwei, one of the three princes, was decided by Zhang Susu in just a few words. The Han Dynasty, which had lasted four hundred years, had fallen to this point.
That¡¯s all, I don¡¯t know what this woman wants to do.
Just when Sima Yi secretly guessed Zhang Susu's purpose, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Susu changed his tone and actually talked about something unrelated.
"By the way, Zhongda, speaking of which, you are also a father, right?"
Seeing Zhang Susu talking about this matter, Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a face full of joy, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's auspicious words, Xiao Ke was lucky enough to have an heir last year" It can be seen that he is quite proud of this matter, which is probably also his reason. That¡¯s why he respects and treats his virtuous wife at home.
In fact, not only him, but his brother Sima Lang is also quite happy about this matter. After all, although the Sima family has made some improvements, it is still not as good as other aristocratic families. To revitalize the family, a prosperous population is naturally necessary.
"I heard that the eldest son is a famous teacher?"
¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Sima Yi nodded with a smile, and suddenly felt something was wrong as he nodded.
The eldest son?
I only have one son, why should I be the eldest son?
Just when Sima Yi was astonished, he suddenly heard Zhang Susu on the couch say slowly, "However, I am still very happy with my son. I took the liberty to ask you and your wife for it a few days ago. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have done it. , invite Zhongda here today to return your youngest son"
You can imagine what Sima Yi's expression looks like at this moment.
Is it inexplicable? Confused?
He couldn¡¯t understand what Zhang Susu was talking about at all, so when the maid Yi¡¯er handed him a baby that was full of heaven, Sima Yi felt as if he was in the clouds.
It wasn¡¯t until the thin layer of gauze on the couch was pulled up, revealing Zhang Susu¡¯s slightly pale face, that Sima Yi suddenly realized that after all, he had already seen Zhang Susu¡¯s appearance at this moment when he personally gave birth to the child.
After the sudden realization, he felt doubly frightened. He finally understood the reason why Zhang Susu came to him today, and the reason why he was suddenly promoted to Taiwei.
What is this?
Sima Yi took the baby dumbfounded. As for the child's father, he knew it was Chen Chang without guessing. He was just curious about the puzzling relationship between the two. As for the child's real mother, Zhang Ning should be , Sima Yi naturally couldn't guess it.
"Dare I ask this son's name" Sima Yi looked at Zhang Susu hesitantly.
"Why did Zhongda even forget this matter"
I don¡¯t even remember this happening!
Sima Yi secretly smiled bitterly, hesitated, and said with a forced smile, "That's it. Before the Prime Minister took the son away, my husband and I had not chosen a name for him. Since the Prime Minister loves this son so much, why not ask the Prime Minister to give him a name?" How about giving me a name?"
Also, I secretly guess Sima Yi, who came in the insagement of the dragon, and dare to name this baby a big self -esteem?
Zhang Susu was stunned for a moment, looking at Sima Yi with a bit of surprise and approval and nodded, then looked deeply at the baby in his hand, sighed longly, "Just call Zhao"
The person who summons is called. As for who Zhang Susu wants to call, it is self-evident.
To be honest, Zhang Susu hadn't read many books by Confucian sages, so the name she gave her was very straightforward. However, Sima Yi, who was well-read in poetry and books, got the wrong idea. After tasting it, he nodded and said, "Zhao Zhe, Ming Ye" ¡Not bad, not bad, Chen Zhao¡¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Yi suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure. When he looked up, he happened to see Zhang Susu looking at him with an evil expression. He was startled. When he thought that Zhang Susu was a woman who had not yet left the court, he quickly changed his words. "No, no, no, Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao"
After Sima Yi was sweating profusely, Zhang Susu got off the bed and slowly walked towards him. When she came to Sima Yi, she lowered her voice and said, "Zhongda"
"Xiao Ke is here!"
"I have no interest in this world, but my son must be the master of this world!"
"Yesyes!" To be continued. .
