As one of the top three in the first imperial examination, Sima Yi was similar to Pang Tong and Xu Shu, except that he was not good at military affairs. Therefore, under the background that everyone in the court was preparing to regain the Central Plains, Sima Yi was not as valued as Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who were good at war. , but they are just not as good as these two people. As the first imperial examination, Sima Yi's ability to suppress Zhang Hu and others who were personally instructed by Lu Bu is beyond doubt.

The Minister of Rites is Jia Xu, but the person doing most of the work is Sima Yi. This is one of the reasons why Jia Xu is called the Fool.

Naturally, Sima Yi and Lu Yong knew about it, but this was the first time they met formally. After he finished his studies, he basically stayed outside, staying as far away as Dawan for three years. After he came back, he was sent to Shangdang. If he hadn't conquered Yecheng , and will not return to Chang'an so early.

"There is something that needs to be done by Zhongda." Lu Yong took back his thoughts and looked at Sima Yi.

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." Sima Yi quickly bowed down. No matter what happened, it was right to refuse. As the son of Lu Bu, Lu Yong didn't have anyone around him who could be used. To say the least, even if there was really no one available, there were still Jia Xu and Li Li. For people like Confucianism, if good things happen to him, Sima Yi can have his turn?

Lu Yong looked at Sima Yi and looked at him seriously. Sima Yi lowered his head and did not dare to speak. After a long time, Lu Yong smiled and nodded and said: "At first, I didn't think Zhongda was qualified for this matter, but Zhongda was so careful, so I felt relieved. It’s up to you.”

Sima Yi looked at Lu Yong in astonishment: "This official is confused."

"This matter is of great importance and requires a prudent person. Zhongda is humble and prudent and is the perfect candidate." Lu Yong affirmed.

Naturally, Sima Yi didn't want to do it. It wasn't that he didn't want to do things. He had handled all the matters in the Ministry of Rites in an orderly manner. He just didn't want to do what Lu Yong arranged. Although he did have the intention of joining Lu Yong's family, Lu Yong asked him to do it. It's definitely not a good thing.

But after Lu Yong said this, Sima Yi had to accept it. If he refused, it would be tantamount to ostracizing himself from Lu Yong's family.

"I wonder what's going on?" Since he couldn't avoid it, Sima Yi could only accept it first.

"Zhongda should have heard about what happened to Sima Men yesterday." Lu Yong looked at Sima Yi and said with a smile.

Sima Yi felt bitter in his heart, nodded and said: "I have heard a little bit."

"Although the culprit has been brought to justice after the arrest, after investigation by the Ministry of Punishments, it was found that there were many people involved in this conspiracy, and Zhongda is responsible for it!" Lu Yong took a list and handed it to Sima Yi, smiling: "There are evidences and responsibilities, Zhongda Just deal with it one by one."

Sima Yi opened the list with some anxiety, and the first name that came into view... Zhong Yao!

His hands trembled and the list fell. Sima Yi quickly knelt on the ground and bowed to Lu Yong: "Sir, this matter... concerns the three gentlemen, and Yi has no right to interfere."

"I have asked for an order from the Ministry of Punishment to allow you to temporarily serve as the lieutenant general of the Ministry of Punishment. You can rest assured that all the criminal evidence recorded on the list is well-founded." Lu Yong bent down to pick up the list, then stretched out his hand to help Sima Yi up and said, "Zhong Just do it."

"In that case, why don't you let the Ministry of Punishment handle this matter?" Sima Yi said with a bitter smile.

"I trust you more than them." Lu Yong looked at Sima Yi and said, "Although I don't know who you are, but over the years, the Ministry of Rites has been in order under the chairmanship of Zhongda. The most difficult thing to control is actually how It not only shows the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but also does not make it too arrogant. This matter involves many officials and the crimes are different. How to grasp the balance of this, I think no one is more suitable than you, what do you think Zhongda? "

Sima Yi looked at the familiar names on the list and closed his eyes helplessly. He knew that this was an opportunity to join Lu Yong's army, but the price... was to kill himself as a scholar.

Lu Bu did not want to destroy the scholars, he just wanted to straighten out the government affairs and force the scholars to spit out the benefits they should not have taken. Therefore, the scholars will still exist in the future. If he really does it, no matter how well he knows how to measure, this will Anything that offends others will no longer be possible in this circle.

Perhaps you can come up with an irresistible excuse to push the matter away.

"By the way~" Lu Yong suddenly thought of something, looked at Sima Yi and said with a smile: "When I was in Dawan, I saw some people even harming themselves to avoid Dawan's recruitment in order to refuse the recruitment of the leader of Dawan. Mr. Zhongda, what are you talking about? What do people think? The most important thing is that the king actually believed it!"

"I don't know, I don't know." Sima Yi quickly lowered his head, with a trace of cold sweat oozing out from his forehead.

"I don't know either." Lu Yong nodded and said: "There are also those who pretend to be crazy. In this big world, there are really many strange things, but this one is much smarter than the one who mutilated his body. After all, only he knows about being crazy and stupid. It’s hard for outsiders to know. Let me tell you, do you know how the man pretending to be crazy deceived you?”

"I don't know." Sima Yi shook his head.

"He cooked a kind of food into something like excrement and ate it in front of the king. This man can really do anything when pressed." Lu Yong said with a smile.

Although Sima Yi didn't know what his smile looked like now, he must have looked bitter, or at least felt bitter in his heart.

He did have similar plans, but Lu Yong has now said that if he does this again, he will be secluded from Lu Yong's family.

"Don't worry, young master, your subordinates will handle it properly." Sima Yi took a deep breath. Since he couldn't avoid it, he could only think of how to minimize the loss.

Lu Yong nodded and put the list back into Sima Yi's hand: "Then I'll leave this matter to Zhongda. It's a matter of great importance, so Zhongda should proceed with caution."

"Here! If there is nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first." Sima Yi could only accept it reluctantly and bowed to leave.

After Lu Yong watched Sima Yi leave, he turned back home. The most important thing for him when he came back this time was to move the capital.

On the other side, Sima Yi returned home feeling a little dejected. His wife Zhang Chunhua had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him. Seeing his appearance, she wondered: "Why do you, husband, look like this?"

Sima Yi hit his head with the list and said, "Young master, please entrust me with an important matter."

"Is this difficult?" Zhang Chunhua asked doubtfully as he helped Sima Yi take off his coat.

"It's not difficult, I just need to lose some things." Sima Yi sighed. From another perspective, this could be regarded as Sima Yi's certificate of submission for joining Lu Yong's family.

"My family's wealth has been given to the imperial court, what else do I have to worry about losing?" Zhang Chunhua said nonchalantly after hearing this.

"What do women know?" Sima Yi shook his head and sighed.

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?" Zhang Chunhua glared at him angrily and said, "Since I accepted it, I can only do it."

"Yes, I have no choice but to do it, but next..." Sima Yi looked at his wife, hesitated and said: "Madam, those friends should not interact with each other if they can."

Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi in astonishment: "Why is that?"

"I'm afraid that my wife will suffer a loss." Sima Yi explained.

Zhang Chunhua didn't understand even more. He raised Sima Yi's face and said, "Husband, you and I have been husband and wife for more than ten years. There is nothing we can talk about openly."

"I want to capture the people on this list one by one." Sima Yi handed the list to Zhang Chunhua: "I see that your friends are among them."

Zhang Chunhua quickly took the list and looked at it. Zhang Chunhua was a little surprised by the large number of familiar names on the list.

"Master, are you crazy?"

"He's not crazy, but I'm going crazy." Sima Yi said with a bitter smile.

"Why would you touch these people if you're not crazy?" Zhang Chunhua asked in confusion.

"It's not just these people. If he wants to move, I'm afraid there's also the emperor!" Sima Yi grabbed his wife's hands, felt the warmth from them, and sighed.

Zhang Chunhua's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Can't I refuse to answer?"

"It probably won't be too easy." Sima Yi shook his head. If he really could have refused, he would have refused.

"Why do you want to touch the emperor?"

"Is the emperor still useful to the Lu family now?" Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Madam probably doesn't know that in this eastern expedition, Jizhou and Youzhou have been captured, and Yuan Shao is dead."

"How long did it take!?" Zhang Chunhua said in shock. Even if he didn't know anything about military affairs, he knew how difficult this was. How could he capture Yuan Shao in just over a month?

"The Emperor has no meaning to the Taiwei." Sima Yi sighed: "The Taiwei doesn't seem to attach importance to the throne, but the Taiwei doesn't care about it. It doesn't mean that the prince doesn't care. The people on the list are all members of the imperial party. The prince It is to use this incident to eliminate the imperial party!"

"Fu Wan? King of the country?" Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi in confusion.

"Well, yesterday Simamen tried to kidnap His Majesty, but Madam Lingqi stopped him and rescued the Emperor. After lying down, two of his sons died, and the rest were sent to prison. Today we have this list." Sima Yi made things simple. Said it again.

Zhang Chunhua said: "If this is the case, it can be regarded as a famous teacher, but what does this matter have to do with Your Majesty?"

"Do you think these people will resist?" Sima Yi asked.

"Of course I will." Zhang Chunhua nodded and said, "Zhong Situ has been sick at home these days. How can this matter have anything to do with him?"

"But he is an imperialist." Sima Yi thought it was a bit ridiculous, an imperialist? The emperor can also party? Touching his wife's hair, Sima Yi said with emotion: "The only one these people can rely on is the emperor. The end of the ambush is just the beginning. If it were the Taiwei, he would probably settle the matter. However, now the Taiwei is supervising the battle in the Central Plains, and in the city of Chang'an, How many people hope that the Taiwei can go further? Of course the young master also has this intention."

Zhang Chunhua felt very awkward. In fact, with Lu Bu's power, after conquering the Central Plains, it was natural for him to abdicate. But now Lu Yonglai's actions are indeed unacceptable and uncomfortable. Unlike Lu Bu, who just goes with the flow. Make people feel comfortable.

She felt this way, let alone others.

"Is there any solution to this matter?" Zhang Chunhua looked at her husband.

"Yes." Sima Yi affirmed: "If the Taiwei can know about this in time, as long as he is unwilling, this matter will definitely be suppressed."

"I'm here for you?" Zhang Chunhua looked at Sima Yi and asked.

"Let Ziyuan go." Sima Yi shook his head. How could a woman do such a thing?
