1258 , Cao Cao's Threat
"Brother, rest assured."
Sima Yi was not worried, he said, "Last time I could pretend to be sick, and this time I could continue to pretend to be sick. When Cao Cao came, I said my illness had not been completely cured yet. What can I do if I see him?"
Sima Yi had a support in his heart. His Sima family was a prominent family. His ancestors can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty. His grandfather Sima Jun was the general of the Western Expedition during the reign of Emperor An of Han, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was the prefect of Yuzhang, his grandfather Sima Jun was the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father Sima Fang was the prefect of Jingzhao.
Although he has been promoted to a free position, he is highly respected in Xudu and is a neutral figure that Cao Cao and his hostile forces must win over.
Sima Yi thought that Cao Cao was King Zhou, but he had to give him the Sima family and his father's face, so he didn't dare to force himself. So he felt very at ease and felt that it would be okay to continue pretending to be sick and not to take office in Cao Cao. I have a backer behind him, so what can you do to me?
This is the reason why Sima Yi is fearless. Cao Cao came from a noble family and now he relies on the rule of aristocratic families. He dared not offend them easily. This is a big family. Moreover, his father praised Cao Cao many times and helped Cao Cao a lot. Sima Yi did not believe that Cao Cao would dare to mess with him.
When Sima Lang heard his younger brother say this, he felt depressed, but he could not force his younger brother to become an official in Cao Cao, so he could only report to Cao Cao that his younger brother's illness had not yet recovered.
"Oh, it's not okay yet?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, stared at Sima Lang and said, "I think he was deliberately hiding from the lonely?"
"Report to the Prime Minister, my son dare not, but the disease has not been completely cured."
Sima Lang said: "He is passionate and wants to serve the Prime Minister, but he is powerless. I hope the Prime Minister forgives him."
"He really wants to play for the orphan?" Cao Cao stared at Sima Lang and asked.
“Yes, yes.”
Sima Lang felt that Cao Cao had seen his thoughts all over, but he had to bite the bullet and talk. He regretted it so much that he would have known that he would not have recommended his younger brother out because he was happy.
"Well, I understand."
When Cao Cao saw Sima Lang's expression, he knew that this girl was lying, but according to his understanding, Sima Lang was not a person who easily regretted or lies, so Cao Cao easily guessed that this was definitely Sima Lang's younger brother Sima Yi. So, he asked himself to meet Sima Yi for a while.
After Sima Lang left, Cao Cao touched his chin and became interested in Sima Yi. A young man with such courage to reject him was enough to make him curious.
"I'm here and I'm going to go to Sima's house."
After thinking for a while, Cao Cao loudly ordered that he would go and see Sima Yi, and see why he was so bold and dared to reject him.
Sima Yi was reading books in the yard of his home. Given that he was discovered by Cao Cao when he went out for a while ago, Sima Yi felt that he should be low-key during this period. Although he was not afraid of Cao Cao, he did not want to offend Cao Cao too much. After all, he is the prime minister, so it is easy to kill him.
However, he wanted to be low-key, but Cao Cao did not intend to let him go. In a word, he had already aroused Cao Cao's interest.
Prime Minister Cao came to the door excitedly. After Sima Yi received the news, he was shocked. Holding the grass, so quickly?
Sima Yi was a little depressed. Although he was extremely talented and had a little reputation, it did not reach Cao Cao's ears. He thought that he was a peerless talent, but he actually came to him?
"Quick..." Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He hurriedly asked the servants to pack up his things, and then he rushed back to his room and lay down.
Before he could lie down, Sima Yi heard a noise outside. Soon, Cao Cao brought people directly to his room.
Cao Cao was the prime minister. Now everyone in charge of the Sima family went out, leaving only Sima Yi and his younger brothers behind. They could not stop Cao Cao and let Cao Cao come to Sima Yi's room without any obstacles.
Seeing the door open, Sima Yi immediately did not dare to move and lay straight on the bed.
Sima Yi closed his eyes tightly and lay motionless on the bed. He could feel Cao Cao's footsteps getting closer. Finally, Cao Cao stopped in front of his bed.
Even with his eyes closed, Sima Yi could feel the pressure conveyed by Cao Cao.
"Zhongda, Zhongda," Cao Cao called Sima Yi softly, his voice full of peace, which made Sima Yi feel that the voice was full of concern for him.
But Sima Yi had long studied Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao cares about him like an elder now, once he opens his eyes to respond to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will go from the elder mode to the decisive and cruel mode of killing, and Sima Yi will not have time to cry.
So, Sima Yi made up his mind to ignore it and not respond. If Cao Cao did not do anything, he would close his eyes and remain motionless.
After Cao Cao called out a few times, he found that Sima Yi was not moving. He reached out and brushed Sima Yi a few times, but Sima Yi was still not moving.
"Zhongda, I am Mengde. I heard that you are sick and I'm here to see you now."
Cao Cao brushed a few times and said softly: "If you feel uncomfortable, even if you say to Gu, Gu has always treated you as his nephew. Seeing you like this, Gu's heart will also hurt." ..
