Chapter 870 Stand Still

At this time, in Xuchang City.

Sima family.

Since King Wei proclaimed himself emperor, Sima Yi has not been in contact with Cao Pi.

Because now, the two of them can't see each other at all.

What's more, they are absolutely not allowed to meet.

Sima Yi is a very cautious person.

Nowadays, Cao Pi lives deep in the palace, and no one in the world knows that the Sima family is assisting Cao Pi.

Therefore, during this period of time, Sima Yi was considered at leisure.

"Father, we can't go on like this forever, can we?"

"Now the world has been turned upside down. After King Wei becomes emperor, he will definitely take action against the nobles."

"If our Sima family doesn't find another support, I'm afraid it will be the first family to be eliminated."

Seeing his father still looking so contented, Sima Zhao suddenly said anxiously.

Although Sima Zhao was very afraid of Sima Yi, he absolutely did not dare to be careless in this matter.

This is a matter of life and death for the entire Sima family!

Nowadays, Cao Pi's hope of being crowned prince is very slim. If he can't find a way to rely on Cao Chong, then the Sima family will be in danger.

Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao and said coldly:

"Looking for support?"

"Tell me, who can our Sima family rely on now?"

Sima Zhao said anxiously:

"Of course Mr. Cao Chong!"

"Young Master Cao Chong is still alive. Now, compared to other young masters, he has a greater chance of being canonized as a prince!"

"Besides, Young Master Cao Chong does not have the support of any noble clan now. All the major noble clans are now watching him."

"Even the Yang family has the idea of ​​defecting to Mr. Cao Chong!"

Sima Yi closed his eyes and said lazily:

"Master Cao Chong?"

"ridiculous!"

"Do you really think that Cao Chong came out this time without complete preparations?"

Sima Zhao suddenly looked at Sima Yi in confusion.

Sima Yi sighed softly and turned to look at Master Sima.

Master Sima sighed softly and said:

"Master Cao Chong has been hidden away by His Majesty for so many years."

"Your Majesty will let Young Master Cao Chong come out this time, and he will definitely not let Young Master Cao Chong have any contact with any noble clan."

"Master Cao Chong first appeared in Bai Feng's mansion."

"It's not difficult to guess that what Young Master Cao Chong needs to rely on is not any noble clan, but Bai Feng."

"Now only Bai Feng has the trust of His Majesty."

"What's more, Bai Feng is now a prince and a national advisor. He holds military power and political power, no worse than any other noble clan."

"In other words, there will be no noble clan that can compare to Bai Feng."

Sima Yi smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded slightly and said:

"Zhao'er, you should learn from Shi'er well."

"If you can't change your eager temper, how can you achieve great things in the future?"

Sima Zhao sighed heavily:

"Father!"

"I am doing this too...this is also for the consideration of the family. Can you not be anxious?"

"Then you ask me, what should I do now?"

"Mr. Cao Pi is not favored. He can only rely on diligence to fight against Mr. Cao Zhi."

"And now that Young Master Cao Chong appears like this, doesn't Young Master Cao Pi have no chance at all?"

Master Sima said calmly:

"wait!"

"Father, if you want me to tell you, our Sima family can only wait for now."

"Maybe it's not a bad thing that I can't contact Mr. Cao Pi for the time being."

"As long as we try our best to hide it, even if the prince is Mr. Cao Chong in the future, he won't care too much about our Sima family."

"My Sima family has always been low-key."

"Now that King Wei is proclaimed emperor, if he wants to deal with the nobles, he will definitely look for some outstanding nobles."

"As the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."

"So, as long as our Sima family continues to remain silent, we may be able to avoid this disaster."

Sima Yi nodded calmly after hearing this:

"Yes, Master has grown up."

"I think it's just as Shi'er said."

"Now that things have happened, if I don't do anything, it won't attract attention."

"If you deliberately want to hide it, or if you are eager to contact Mr. Cao Pi, it will only push our Sima family to the forefront."

"Who can be sure that King Wei will not know about the interactions between our Sima family and Young Master Cao Pi?"

In fact, Sima Yi had always suspected that Cao Cao was likely to know about the Sima family's contacts with Cao Pi.

However, just because of some reasons, Cao Cao did not touch the Sima family.

The most critical point should be that the current Sima family assists Cao Pi, who can skillfully form a check and balance with the Yang family.

As long as this check and balance relationship exists, Cao Cao does not need to break this check and balance for the time being.

Whether the Yang family or the Sima family is attacked first, either Cao Pi or Cao Zhi will be put into a disadvantageous situation.

Unless the prince is really established, maybe Cao Cao will start taking action.

However, when the time comes, Sima Yi will naturally have his own way.

The Sima family is now subtly moving closer to the Xun family.

The Xun family is currently the safest family besides the Xiahou family and the Cao family.

For no other reason than Cao Cao needed the Xun family, and the Xun family was on good terms with Bai Feng.

If danger really comes, it is not impossible for the Sima family to downgrade itself and become a subsidiary family of the Xun family.

As long as he can keep the Sima family, Sima Yi will do anything.

"Father, can you please sit still? I really can't sit still anymore."

"If it keeps going like this, who knows when the danger will come?"

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows slightly:

"oh?"

"That's just right. I have a good errand for you."

"Deng Ai plans to set off from the north in the next two days and attack in the direction of Goguryeo to check the situation."

"Deng Ai is recruiting troops at this time, you can participate."

"With your martial arts skills, it shouldn't be a problem to become his lieutenant."

Sima Zhao was immediately stunned:

"Father, did I hear you correctly?"

"Am I going to be Deng Ai's lieutenant?"

"Then Deng Ai is just a boy from a poor family, and he also stutters when he speaks."

"How could he have such a status if he wasn't loved by King Wei?"

"Now that he can't recruit a deputy general, there must be a reason. I don't want to embarrass myself."

After hearing this, Sima Yi's face gradually darkened.

When Sima Zhao saw this, he immediately felt an invisible pressure pressing towards him:

"Father, I'm going, why don't I go..."

Sima Zhao could only smile bitterly at this time.

At the moment, it is obviously impossible not to go.

However, he really didn't understand why his father wanted him to get close to Deng Ai?

But he had no choice but to obey his father's orders.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao could only grit his teeth and immediately walked out the door.

Master Sima smiled slightly.

It seemed that his father wanted to get closer to Bai Feng's forces.
