Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, with dangerous mountains and rivers.

All the winners from the four directions gather here.

Ban Gu once said in "Ode to Two Capitals": The old Zhou Dynasty was increased, Luoyi was repaired, the fan was lofty, and the wings were displayed. The capital of Han Dynasty spread over all Xia, and it spread all over the world to the extreme.

Cao Wei established its capital here, where people from all over the world gathered, and the country's power continued to rise.

The summer sunshine fills the whole city.

The defeat of Luogu did not affect the prosperity of this city.

But the cries of the common people who lost their sons, their fathers, and their husbands will never reach the blue tiles of the royal family.

In the Sima Mansion in Xicheng, father and son were sitting opposite each other.

"Cao Shuang, Xia Houxuan is defeated, and all the people in the world have lost their hearts!" Master Sima suppressed the joy in his heart and said in a deep voice.

He is always cautious in front of his father.

Both respectful and fearful.

"Cao Shuang has lost all his people, but the Wei Dynasty cannot lose its people." Sima Yi said with a calm look on his face.

But only Master Sima knew that behind the light clouds and gentle breeze, there were huge waves.

From the moment Cao Shuang sent troops, everything was planned.

Therefore, the outcome of the battle to defeat Shu has already been determined.

Master Sima seemed to have heard some kind of prophecy, his eyes brightened: "What my father said is that if the imperial court promotes your son to be a central guard, he will do his best."

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the central leadership and the central guard have become the most important official positions in the Chinese army.

Zhong Lingjun is in charge of the Luoyang Forbidden Army and guards the royal family, and has a very important position.

The Central Protectorate is in charge of the selection of military attaches and has great power.

Cao Shuang followed Ding Mi's plan, promoted him openly and secretly, honored Sima Yi as Taifu, and seized his military power. He promoted Jiang Ji to Taiwei, removing him from the position of leading the army. All power in the court belonged to the Cao brothers.

Xia Houxuan also served as the Central Protectorate.

However, the expedition against Shu failed, and Cao Shuang had to hand over part of his power under the pressure of various forces.

Many things are calm on the surface, but secretly they are already turbulent.

After mutual compromise, the Central Guard Army returned to Sima Division.

Sima Yi lay lazily on the soft couch, looking at the clear blue sky, as if reminiscing about the past glorious years, "You and I are both ministers of the Wei Dynasty. The country is in difficulty, so we should repay the country's kindness."

"What my father said is true. Recently, reports came from Liaodong. Goguryeo took advantage of the opportunity to invade the border and attacked Xi'anping. Yan's territory is in danger."

Since Cao Shuang went to war, Sima Yi stayed home due to illness and did not care about state affairs.

All the disturbances in the court were reported by Sima Shi.

In the first year of Emperor Jingchu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Sima Yi's 40,000 reinforcements joined forces with Guanqiu Jian and defeated Gongsun Yuan in eastern Liaodong. Afterwards, Sima Yi ordered the beheading of more than 7,000 men over the age of 15, and built a temple with their heads. All Gongsun Yuan's ministers were from the same clan

They killed General Bi Sheng and more than 2,000 people, collected 40,000 households, and moved a large number of people into the interior, which directly caused the emptiness of Liaodong.

Goguryeo took advantage of the situation and took action.

In the following decades, Liaodong gradually became the place of prosperity for the Xianbei people.

After listening to Master Sima's report, Sima Yi remained unmoved and lay on the couch with his eyes closed, as if falling asleep.

Master Sima continued: "There are 20,000 troops in the Goguryeo Throne Palace, and Guanqiu Jian only has 8,000 county soldiers. If Guanqiu Jian is defeated, Cao Shuang will come to help!"

Guanqiu Jian was an old man in the East Palace of Emperor Ming. He was deeply trusted and rose to prominence. Later, he became close friends with Xia Houxuan, Ji Kang and other celebrities.

After a long time, Sima Yi said slowly: "Guanqiu Jian has a great ambition and the qualifications to be a famous general. It is difficult to make a conclusion on this battle. Although he is close to Xiahou Xuan, he may not be Cao Shuang's party, so we cannot generalize."

At the end, the conversation suddenly changed, "Guan Qiu Jian is loyal to the Wei Dynasty, and my son must follow suit."

Master Sima didn't think so at first, but after hearing this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Thank you father for your advice, I understand."

Soon Sima Yi lowered his eyelids again and really fell asleep.

Master Sima bowed his hands and prepared to leave. Suddenly he saw his wife, Yang Huiyu, standing more than twenty steps outside the pavilion, with a look of panic on her face. There were two cups of tea on the jasper tray in her hand, swaying with light green tea.

A lot of spillage.

Master Sima's expression changed, but he glanced at his old father who was taking a nap, and for some reason, he quickly calmed down.

Without making any sound, he quietly turned around and left.

"Didn't I tell you that no one can get close to me when I'm talking to my father?" Master Sima's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of edge in the gentleness, as if there were fine needles hidden in the brocade.

Yang Huiyu had never seen such a Sima Master before, and became more and more panicked.

Suddenly I remembered a rumor that happened not too long ago.

And that rumor about Sima Shi’s first wife Xia Houhui...

Master Sima had three wives in total, and each of them had a prosperous family.

The first Xiahou Hui was the daughter of Xiahou Shang and sister of Xiahou Xuan.

This marriage brought Sima Shi great fame.

The second Wu family was the daughter of Wu Zhi, a close friend of Emperor Wen. Wu Zhi assisted Emperor Wen in seizing the throne and was later granted the title of General Zhenwei. He was also the governor of Hebei's military affairs during the holidays, and his power was overwhelming for a while.

However, after Emperor Wen and Wu Zhi fell one after another, the Wu family was gradually marginalized.

The Sima family decisively divorced the Wu family and married the current Yang Huiyu.

The Taiyang family has been serving as ministers since the time of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, and has become one of the best families.

It was only after 20 years that he became famous in Luoyang.

"I saw that my father and my husband had been chatting for a long time, so I prepared tea. I didn't want to disturb my husband." Yang Huiyu came from a noble family after all, so he quickly calmed down and responded calmly.

Master Sima's eyes flickered, staring into her eyes.

Yang Huiyu looked at each other calmly.

After a while, the two people's expressions relaxed and returned to their former loving appearance.

"From now on, I will talk to my father, but please don't come near me."

"Yes, husband." Yang Huiyu lowered his head gently.

Master Sima smiled and watched Yang Huiyu retreat.

The cool summer breeze blows away all the restlessness.

After a long time, Master Sima suddenly waved to the shade of the trees.

It was early summer afternoon, I was feeling sleepy, and there was no one in the back garden at all.

However, the shade of the tree suddenly moved, and a dark shadow quickly jumped out and bowed in front of Master Sima, "Master."

Master Sima's face twitched slightly, and then became as expressionless as a stone sculpture, "You were negligent."

The black shadow trembled all over, "My subordinates dare not stop the mistress."

"You are wrong again, you only have a master, not a mistress!" Master Sima said calmly, and the manner in which he spoke inherited the charm of Sima Yi who was sixty-seven points.

The black shadow's whole body was shaking even more violently, and he didn't even have the courage to look directly at Master Sima.

Master Sima sighed, "Everyone of you has been carefully raised by me. You are scattered in the world and cannot be seen in the sun. Therefore, some mistakes can be made and some mistakes cannot be made. You should know it."

"My subordinates know!" A trace of hope rose in Heiying's eyes.

"Go down." Master Sima's voice became gentle, as if a father was teaching his son.

Tears almost welled up in Heiying's eyes, "No!"
