    "Well, Bu Fan, you did a good job on this matter. There is such a character in the Sima family. Sima Bada is indeed worthy of his reputation." After Cao Cao received Lu Rui's reply, he was not too surprised. It seemed that Cao Cao had already figured it out.  .  "Father Zhong, what's our next step?" Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Lu Rui seemed to have some scruples and asked tentatively.  "Next step, I will leave it to Fengxiao. If Bufan makes this contribution, I will definitely go to the court to reward him. Ziwen, Zihuan and others will also be rewarded. Go tell them and be prepared." Cao Cao  The meaning is obvious. Lu Rui does not need to take care of the next step. Cao Pi and Cao Zhang will also be promoted, allowing them to be ready for training.  "Yes, Father Zhong, I understand!" After years of training, Lu Rui also knew Cao Cao's nature. Since Cao Cao has decided, he must have his reasons.  "Bufan, what do you think of the Sima family? How should a father face the Sima family?" Cao Cao stroked his beard and gave Lu Rui a meaningful look. The Sima family was not just a wealthy family, but his attitude towards him was  Determined the reaction of the family.  "Father Zhong, I think that the evidence for Sima Min is conclusive. The family will not have any objection to his execution, and it is reasonable. As for the Sima family, we can also try our best to use this matter as an opportunity to weaken the power of the Sima family, but we cannot put the Sima family to death.  Total annihilation, especially Fang Gong, he still has a lot of appeal. "Sima Fang is a difficult character. He has many connections in the government and the public, has a good relationship with the aristocratic family, and is basically the same generation as Cao Cao. He is considered an old man.  "It's not just Sima Min! There may be another person." Cao Cao nodded.  Said something to himself.  "There is one more person?" "Yes, extraordinary. Do you know Fang Gong's second sons, Sima Yi and Sima Zhongda?" Sima Yi, grandma's son, Zhonghu, of course you know this. In history, there are Sima Yi and Cao Wei who are the prime ministers of the wolf.  The gravedigger.  certainly.  Lu Rui can't say that your Lao Cao's empire was taken away by Sima Yi's descendants.  "My child has also heard of this man. He is quite famous among officials and seems to be among the best in intelligence." Lu Rui could only repeat the usual rumors about Sima Yi to Cao Cao.  "Well, my father also heard about this son's abilities. He was called up many times, but he refused because of his illness. Do you think this is true or false?" "Of course it is false!" Lu Rui told Cao Cao categorically that Sima Yi had  Sickness, how is it possible? His body is the pines and cypresses among the Three Kingdoms.  "Why?" Seeing Lu Rui's certainty, Cao Cao smiled and wanted to hear Lu Rui's analysis.  "Father Zhong, if a person is sick, how can he be famous among the officials? Even if he is sick, how can there be any secrets among the officials? But the child has not heard the rumors about Sima Yi, and the talk about being sick is just his one-sided statement!  "Lu Rui told Cao Cao his analysis.  To take a step back, even if Sima Yi is sick.  How could the literati's chatting not involve it?  "Yes, my father thinks so. This time, Zhicai's intelligence showed that Sima Yi was involved in Sima Min's plan, and he was even the final planner. What do you think my father should do?" Cao Cao handed over the bamboo slips in his hand.  Throwing it away, he seemed to be thinking about this issue behind his hands.  "Father Zhong wants to use Sima Yi?" Lu Rui saw Cao Cao's expression and guessed Cao Cao's intention.  Cao Cao did not deny it, but just looked at the scenery outside the window without saying a word. Lu Rui had not answered Cao Cao's question yet.  "Father Zhong, I think one disloyalty will not be tolerated a hundred times. If Sima Yi is really the mastermind behind the scenes, he should eradicate it without leaving any future troubles. Father Zhong, don't forget, if the people of the world betray me, it is better for me to betray the people of the world!  "This is an opportunity. If we can take advantage of this to kill Sima Yi, that would be great. Anyway, Cao Wei has many talents. The younger Sima Yi is a lot, and the older Sima Yi is less. Although this Ninja Turtle is very useful.  "Haha, Bufan is right. You can go down first. I will let Fengxiao handle this matter. Also, in a few days, I will ask Cangshu to go to Hanoi with Bufan. Fengxiao is a knife, Bufan is a candy.  , Do you understand?" "I understand, I'm sorry!" Lu Rui bowed his hands and left Cao Cao's study.  If Cao Cao wants to be popular, then he should be popular, and maybe he can get some benefits.  The sound of Mi Mi lingered around for three days!  It was already the third day since he returned to his home from Lu Rui. Sima Min was captured, Xu Du was also released, and some pests hidden among the officials were also eliminated by Cao Cao one by one.  Lu Rui has been having a lot of leisure these days. He spends time with the women at home, watching them dance and play the piano, and eating fruits shipped from Lingnan. He has a great time.  "Master Marquis, Master Chong is here, asking for an audience outside the house." Lu Rui was watching fish with his family by the pond, when Xu Shu came to report, and Cao Chong came."Brother Chong is here? Let him come here." Lu Rui heard that Cao Chong was coming and knew that he would leave for Hanoi soon. Guo Jia took the first step to arrest Sima Yi, and Lu Rui wanted to follow and appease Sima Yi.  Home.  "No!" "Husband, why is Brother Chong here?" Cao Jie glanced at Lu Rui doubtfully. Although Cao Chong often came to visit, there was no serious report. He was all rampant. This  Second report, it seems there is something special.  "Father Zhong asked me to take Brother Chong out for a while to practice." Lu Rui patted Cao Jie's jade hand and smiled.  "Experience? Brother Chong is so young to follow your husband to experience?" Cao Chong had just turned ten before Cao Chong reached the age of ten. Cao Cao asked Lu Rui to take Cao Chong to experience. It seems that Cao Cao has high hopes for Cao Chong. Cao Pi and Cao Zhang are both nearly two years old.  Only when he was ten years old did he practice with Lu Rui.  "Jie'er, are you worried that Chongdi's talent will bring him trouble?" Lu Rui saw a little uneasiness in Cao Jie's eyes. Cao Chong is too smart and outstanding. In the Cao family, no, in the entire  Dahan is an uneasy boy.  "Alas, husband, our Cao family is becoming more and more powerful. My mother is often worried that the power will cause the family members to fight against each other. It seems"  There will be no problem. People with great wisdom will be blessed. "Brother Rui! Sister, I'm here!" Cao Chong ran to Lu Rui and Cao Jie, wearing a military uniform.  Although Cao was doing business, he became wanton when he rushed into Lu Rui's Marquis's house. After all, he was still a playful child.  "Brother Chong? Why are you dressed like this?" Cao Jie waved and asked Cao Chong to come to him.  "Sister!" I saw Cao Chong wearing a pair of homemade small armor and a short sword tied around his waist.  The strangest thing is that he is carrying a few large sacks on his back that are not very suitable for his age. How does this look like he is going out for training?  "Hey, sister, you don't know why my father sent me and Brother Rui to Hanoi? This time we are going to accept bribes. Maybe my brother will have a lot of things when he comes back, and he can also build a small city in my sister's yard.  !" Cao Chong excitedly described his vision to Cao Jie.  "Taking bribes?" Cao Jie glanced at Cao Chong doubtfully, and then at Lu Rui.  What kind of mission did Cao Cao assign to the two of them this time, to accept bribes?  "You are all waiting thirty meters away!" Seeing Cao Chong say this, Lu Rui just tested Cao Chong and asked his servants to exit the pavilion.  "Brother Chong, don't talk nonsense. What is bribery? Please explain it clearly to me!" "Hey, Brother Rui, don't lie to me. I've found out everything. This time, Military Advisor Guo Jia will go to Hanoi first. Brother Rui and I will go later.  , it seems that our father is asking us to be a good person. If we are to be a good person, the Sima family will definitely bribe us to speak well for them in front of our father. Brother Rui, do you think that a big family like the Sima family will have less good things for me?  I'm afraid these bags are not enough!" Cao Chong pouted and shook the sack.  "Brother Chong?" Cao Jie stared at Cao Chong with big eyes. Is this what a child under ten years old can say?  "Brother Chong, why are we singing red faces instead of bad faces?" Lu Rui touched Cao Chong's head and handed a piece of pastry to Cao Chong.  "Brother Rui, are you going to test me? I'll tell you" Then, Cao Chong revealed Cao Cao's plan.  First of all, Sima Min committed a serious crime and will undoubtedly die. Cao Cao will use this to attack the Sima family, but he will not kill him. The main reason is the power of the Sima family in Hanoi County.  Hanoi County is an important strategic location in Hedong. The Sima family has lived in Hanoi County for generations and is very influential in Hanoi and Hedong. Almost all local officials have inextricable ties with the Sima family.  The Hedong area is Cao Jun's only stronghold north of the Yellow River. If he is cruel to the Sima family, if the Sima family surrenders to the Yuan family, then Chang'an and Luoyang will be exposed to Yuan Jun's attack. Cao Cao wants to protect the overall situation.  Consider not killing everyone.  Secondly, it is the influence of the Sima family in the aristocratic family. Since Cao Cao agreed to Lu Rui's nine-level Zhongzheng system, it means that Cao Cao has changed his attitude towards the aristocratic family. He can kill the aristocratic family, but Cao Wei will still leave room for the aristocratic family.  This is also the reason why Cao Cao keeps killing the Sima family. The family has been in the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is not just eradicated.  In the end, it was a combination of kindness and power. Of course, an outsider like Guo Jia would do the power, and someone from the Cao family would do the favor. He and Lu Rui were the most suitable candidates.  "How about it, Brother Rui, do I make sense?" Cao Chong ate the last bit of pastry and looked at Lu Rui and Cao Jie proudly.  "I guess you have some luck, kid"Manager, okay, let Yuan Zhi take you to rest first, and we will set off for Hanoi tomorrow.  " "Okay, Brother Rui!  "Cao Chong grabbed a piece of pastry from the plate and ran to find Xu Shu. "Husband, brother Chong?  "Seeing how smart Cao Chong is, Cao Jie became worried again. It may not be a good thing to have such an opinion at a young age. "Jie'er, don't worry. Father Zhong wants Chong brother to train with me just to cover up Chong brother's edge and let me grab it.  Take the credit from Chongdi.  " Lu Rui smiled. Guo Jia had already analyzed Cao Cao's intention of sending Cao Chong to Lu Rui.  In order to win glory, Cao Cao deliberately began to cultivate Cao Chong's political power after Cao Chong became an elephant. However, Cao Chong's talent far exceeded Cao Cao's imagination. It was not a good thing for Cao Chong to succumb to Lu Rui's halo.  Cao Chong's talent is not too conspicuous, which is a good strategy. When Cao Chong becomes an adult, it will not be too late to establish meritorious deeds on his own. "Husband.  Having said that, it¡¯s just¡­.  " "Don't worry, Jie'er.  I will keep an eye on Brother Chong. My husband is going to Hanoi tomorrow, and I have to worry about my wife's clothes.  Seeing that Cao Jie was being sentimental again, Lu Rui quickly asked Cao Jie to help him prepare his baggage. "Yes, husband!"  " On the second day, the genius was bright, and Lu Rui took the sleeping Cao Chong to Hanoi in a carriage. "Ah!  "The carriage drove for an hour, and Cao Chong woke up. "Brother Rui.  Are we leaving?  " "Let's go, little lazy boy, you just got up now.  "Lu Rui picked up a piece of silk cloth and wiped Cao Chong's face. "Hey, Brother Rui, you know, I'm just a little lazy person.  My sister used to wake me up at home.  "    "good.  Well, I know that you are the treasure of the Cao family, and only you can go to bed late and get up late. When did Ziwen, Zihuan, and Zijian have such treatment?  Even if it¡¯s Brother Rui and me.  In the past, Father Zhong would scold me if I was too lazy to sleep.  "Lu Rui touched Cao Chong's head. Cao Cao was a true-tempered person, and his preference for Cao Chong was obvious. This made Lu Rui very worried. Partiality is something that every parent will have, but Cao Cao did it too obviously.  . This makes the other sons of the Cao family somewhat jealous of Cao Chong. "Hehe!  "Cao Chong scratched his head and smiled at Lu Rui. "By the way, Brother Rui, Father Zhong asked me to tell you that Military Advisor Guo arrested Sima Yi to prevent anyone from setting off a cold arrow. He told us to just ask for money when we get to Hanoi, and nothing else.  Don't do anything about attacking the Sima family.  "Cao Chong suddenly remembered Cao Cao's instructions before leaving, and quickly told Lu Rui. "To prevent cold arrows?  "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, and began to savor Cao Cao's words carefully. Who would fire a cold arrow? And if it is a cold arrow, what is the purpose? "Brother Rui, how about it, you don't know what father means?  "Cao Chong looked at Lu Rui proudly, as if he knew what Cao Cao meant. "Did Father Zhong tell you?  " "No, I just guessed, Brother Rui. I think my father was worried that Sima Yi would not be so easy to deal with, so he asked Military Advisor Guo to arrest him. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with Brother Rui.  "Cao Chong smiled at Lu Rui, his eyes seeming to say, am I right? "Oh?  "When Lu Rui heard what Cao Chong said, he was startled and suddenly remembered something. I'm afraid Sima Yi is not so easy to deal with. "Master Hou, it's strange, all the wine tanks are highly poisonous!  "Lu Rui suddenly remembered Wang Er's death. All the wine in the wine cellar had been poisoned, but Wang Er only drank one of the bottles. With Sima Min's resourcefulness, he probably wouldn't need all the wine to kill Wang Er.  The place was poisoned. If Sima Min was not the one who poisoned it, then it is very likely that Sima Min was also plotted. Someone not only wanted to kill Wang Er, but also used the wine in the wine cellar to kill Sima Min!  , Sima Min has also been plotted. The person who can plot against Sima Min is probably Sima Min's accomplice. Sima Yi is the biggest suspect so far. Could it be that Sima Yi has already left a way out, and this time the arrest will fall into the trap, or even fail.  ? ¡°Brother Rui?  Brother Rui?  What¡¯s wrong with you?  "Cao Chong saw Lu Rui's surprised look and shook Lu Rui. "It's okayit's okay, Brother Rui just thought of Father Zhong's intention.  " Lu Rui smiled and perfunctorily dealt with Cao Chong. After a few days of travel, Lu Rui and Cao Chong arrived at Hanoi County. Hedong Governor Du Ji had already led his soldiers to wait for Lu Rui at the city gate. "Hedong Governor Du Ji has seen him.  Mr. Hou, charge at the young master!  "Seeing Lu Rui's carriage, Du Ji quickly brought his subordinates to visit Lu Rui and Cao Chong. "Bohou, there is no need to be polite. You and I are old acquaintances. No need to be restrained. Please come quickly.  ?Lu Rui quickly helped Du Ji up. The Great Wei Shen Ji would be an important minister of Cao Wei in the future, and his son was also very powerful. Lu Rui wanted to build a good relationship with him.  "Thank you, Lord Marquis, Mr. Chong!" After Du Ji saluted Lu Rui and Cao Chong, he took Cao Chong and Lu Rui back to the Hanoi Prefecture.  "Bohou, has Commander Guo arrested Sima Yi?" As soon as he arrived at the prefect's mansion, Lu Rui didn't waste time and asked Du Ji directly.  "Reporting to the Marquis, Sima Yi has been taken away by the military advisor. The Sima family did not resist. Sima Fang even personally tied up Sima Yi and sent him to the prison car." Du Ji cupped his hands and answered Lu Rui.  "Bind him yourself?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. Sima Fang was really a character. He actually tied his own son into a prison car. This is easy to say, but not many people do it.  However, this is good, and it also shows the attitude of the Sima family. They are not willing to fight with the Cao family, but will still compromise with the Cao family. To the entire Sima family, Sima Yi is just a descendant of the Sima family, at least for now.  "Yes, Lord Marquis, the Sima family has sent people here many times to give generous gifts, hoping that I can say a few nice words in front of Lord Sikong. I knew that Lord Marquis was coming, so I accepted the gifts and asked Lord Marquis to execute him.  "Bohou is really careful. Since it is a gift from the Sima family, it must be for Bohou. Hedong is poor, and Bohou has to subsidize his family." Anyway, Sima will definitely bribe him.  , these things were given to Du Ji, and Lu Rui was not lacking anyway.  "This?" "Bohou, there is no need to refuse!" Seeing that Du Ji was still hesitant, Lu Rui quickly interrupted Du Ji and signaled Du Ji to accept it.  "This? I would like to thank you, Lord Marquis." "Report! Prefect, Sima Fu of the Sima family wants to see you!" As soon as Lu Rui entered the prefect's house, Sima Fu came.  When Lu Rui heard this, he thought, Haha, the Sima family is really powerful. As soon as he arrived, he sent people from the back. It seems that the Sima family is really omnipotent in Hanoi!  ps: Thank you for your support!  !
