1257 , Sima Yi pretends to be sick

"Do it well."

Cao Cao encouraged Sima Lang and said, "It's a pity that you left, but you are alone lacking a good helper."

Hearing Cao Cao's sigh, Sima Lang felt aroused. He remembered his younger brother Sima Yi who was idle at home. After thinking about it, he recommended his younger brother to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, I have a younger brother, and my talent is a hundred times better than my younger brother."

"Oh? Is it true?"

Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses in Liu Zhe's hands, and even the importance of talent. Now, when he heard that Sima Lang had a younger brother who had a better talent than him, Cao Cao was excited.

"So that's the case, Betha, when you go back, let your brother come to see the orphan."

"Yes!" Sima Lang agreed.

Then when Sima Lang returned home that night, he told Sima Yi about this.

"Brother, how can you do this?"

After hearing this, Sima Yi was anxious and angry and said, "Why don't you discuss it with me?"

"What's the problem? You are extremely talented, do you want to do nothing at home?" Sima Lang said strangely.

"Brother, the imperial court has lost its fortune, so it may not be great to follow Cao Cao."

Sima Yi became anxious and called Cao Cao's name. He said, "If the court is destroyed, Cao Cao will be killed as the prime minister. I will follow him, wouldn't I have to be buried with him? So I don't want to do things under him."

"What should I do?"

Sima Lang didn't force his younger brother, he said, "I have already boasted about the Prime Minister."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll just pretend to be sick."

Sima Yi said: "You go and reply to Cao Cao, saying that I am sick and cannot become an official."

"Then, that's all." Sima Lang nodded. He replied to Cao Cao the next day.

But who is Cao Cao?

Sima Lang was recommending his younger brother the day before, but the next day he said that his younger brother was sick and could not come to serve in the official position. Isn’t this treating him as a fool?

"Is it true?" Cao Cao sneered and stared at Sima Lang and asked.

“Yes, yes.”

Sima Lang had to bite the bullet and answer, saying, "The Prime Minister just sends someone to check it out."

"This lonely man will do it naturally..."

Sima Lang was depressed. He just said casually, and unexpectedly Cao Cao really wanted to send someone to his house.

Sima Yi's family is delicious and lively and lively. I don't know how energetic it is. If someone sent by Cao Cao to see that Sima Yi is not sick, then Sima Lang will be killed by Cao Cao.

So all day long, Sima Lang was absent-minded and passed the day in a daze. As soon as he got home in the evening, he immediately told Sima Yi about the matter that Cao Cao was going to send someone to investigate.

"Brother, don't panic."

After hearing this, Sima Yi said calmly: "He sent someone to come, won't I pretend to be sick? Just be at ease."

"Zhongda, why not become an official."

Sima Lang doesn't want to cause trouble. Cao Cao is not easy to mess with. If Cao Cao holds a grudge, he will wear all his shoes in the future.

"Brother, don't worry."

Sima Yi said confidently: "He Cao Cao can't do anything to me. What's more, if I want to become an official, how can I do without some ability?"

"What if he gets angry and makes a ruthless move?" Sima Lang asked.

"Don't worry, this brother, you one hundred brothers."

Sima Yi said with greater confidence: "Cao Cao doesn't know, he is not Liu Zhe, and he dare not do this."

"Why?" Sima Lang was surprised.

"Brother, think about it, Cao Cao's origin."

Sima Yi said: "He is also from a big family. The Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are all big families. If he dares to take ruthless measures against us big families, he will die faster than Liu Zhe."

"I hope so." Sima Lang knew that his younger brother was smart, so he could only let him go.

As expected, two days later, Cao Cao sent someone to condolences to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi lay on the bed at the first time, motionless, pretending to be sick.

"Emunique, look, my second son suffered from wind dysfunction and was in great pain. He could only lie in bed all day, and it was difficult for him to get up by himself." The butler of the Sima family told the people sent by Cao Cao.

The people sent by Cao Cao could not see any clues, so they could only go back and report to Cao Cao truthfully.

How could Cao Cao believe it? He sent his confidant to spy on him again.

Cao Cao's confidant received instructions from Cao Cao and sat directly in Sima Yi's room all day and looked carefully. Sima Yi had strong patience and patience, and he could stay away all day, and he was helping him eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

In this way, Cao Cao's confidant could not see anything, and in the end he could only go back in shame to tell Cao Cao that Sima Yi was really sick.

Cao Cao was depressed and his two subordinates sent in succession said that Sima Yi was sick. Although he did not believe it, he was half-believing and half-doubted. In addition, he was busy with official duties, so he temporarily put the matter of recruiting Sima Yi aside.

The busy official business made Cao Cao gradually forget about Sima Yi, but after a month, someone suddenly told Cao Cao that he saw Sima Yi on the street.

"What?"

Cao Cao was furious and said, "Don't he have wind numbness and cannot move? Why do he have the intention to run outside?"

Cao Cao called Sima Lang back from Chenggao, scolded Sima Lang fiercely, and ordered him to go back and let Sima Yi come and report.
