After hearing this decision, Sima Lun immediately ran to see Sima Shi, saying that his age and talent were not enough to take on such an important position, and hoped that Sima Shi could take back his life.

Moreover, Sima Shi himself has given him a lot of power now. Sima Lun only needs to assist Sima Shi. In Sima Lun's mind, the overall situation must be presided over by Sima Shi.

Sima Shi shook his head with a wry smile. He knew very well that his glorious era had passed and he was no longer able to do so. If he was the one who presided over the overall situation, I was afraid that the Sima family would have to bear greater failures.

The Sima family's power is no longer the power that Sima Yi left behind. Only the last little foundation is left, and it can no longer withstand any trouble. Sima Shi felt that the Sima family could only regain their glory under the leadership of Sima Lun and return to their past glory. If he continues to be led by him, he will probably not even have this last hope.

Sima Shi said to Sima Lun earnestly: "Ninth brother, now is the time for our family to be in danger. What I give you is not power, but more like a hot potato. For you, you are not letting you enjoy power, but to let you shoulder the important task of revitalizing the glory of Sima family. Great responsibilities are given to this person. I hope you can lead your family out of difficulties, revitalize glory, and live up to your father's dying entrusted."

When talking about Sima Yi, Sima Lun's expression became much dim. Although Sima Lun was still young when his father Sima Yi was dying, he was far more precocious than other children and attached great importance to this father-son family affection.

Compared with other brothers, Sima Lun enjoyed more fatherly love. Perhaps because of his son in his later years, Sima Yi was quite indulgent to Sima Lun. In the past, he had been fighting outsiders for many years and mostly ignored other sons. Only after Sima Lun was born, Sima Yi was defeated by Cao Shuang and was idle at home. Although Sima Yi kept a low profile and was always ready to fight back against Cao Shuang, his spare time did not prevent him from enjoying the joy of family. In addition, Sima Lun's talent and intelligence are naturally deeply loved by Sima Yi.

But this wonderful life did not last long. Not many years after the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi was accidentally injured during the conquest of Bingzhou and passed away soon after. Sima Lun, who was still underage, lost his father's love from then on.

Therefore, Sima Lun had an extreme hatred for Cao Liang in his heart, believing that Cao Liang killed Sima Yi, and that he must avenge such a revenge for killing his father if he had the chance.

Originally, Sima Lun tried his best to refuse, but after listening to Sima Shi's words, he became silent. Yes, the so-called position of general does not mean that anyone can sit on it if they want to. Once they ascend to this position, they must bear the corresponding responsibility. Sima Shi did not do well in this position, which made the Sima family deeply in crisis. Now the Sima family has only left the land of Yongliang, and there is no way out. If the land of Yongliang is also lost, then it can only be waiting for the entire clan to be punished.

Sima Lun was silent for a moment and said, "I am naturally responsible for reviving the family. But I am worried that with my younger brother's talent, I can bear this important task, and I am afraid that the entrusted work will not work and will hurt my elder brother's wisdom."

Sima Shi said in a deep voice: "Why should I belittle myself? The reason why I made such a decision is naturally thoughtful. Among all the brothers, you are the only one who deserves this important task, so I beg you not to refuse. For the sake of the family's rejuvenation, I hope you can do your best to make your father laugh."

Sima Lun took a deep breath, and he also knew that the current situation was no longer something he could refuse. The Sima family really needed someone to stand up and take the family members out of the darkest moment. Since Sima Yi and Sima Shi both chose him, he was responsible for it.

He bowed to Sima Shi and said, "When my brother is in love, I must go through fire and water, and I will never refuse!"

Sima Shi finally smiled. This decision was probably the only correct decision he had made in recent years. Now he was powerless and hoped that the Sima family could get out of the predicament and reshape their glory under the leadership of Sima Lun.

Then Sima Shi summoned his younger brothers: Sima Zhao, Sima Gan, Sima Yichang, Sima Liang and others, as well as important officials in the court, He Zeng, Zheng Chong, Guo Huai, Zhong Hui, Fu Er, Xun Xu, Xun Yi, Jia Chong, Zhong Yu, Zhou Tai and others into the mansion, and announced in public the decision to be the general of Sima Lun. From then on, all the military powers were dispatched by Sima Lun. All civil and military officials and generals in the court had to obey Sima Lun. Sima Shi hoped that everyone would work together to overcome difficulties.

After hearing the news, everyone looked different. Some were shocked, while others were calm. Some were willing to speak but stopped, while others bowed their heads and kept silent. In short, these people had their own thoughts and their own calculations.

In fact, Sima Shi had not discussed this decision with anyone before, so naturally no one knew about it. In general, this decision was quite unexpected, and everyone was deeply surprised. After all, Sima Shi was not too old, in his forties, and was in his prime. Although he could not see things, command and dispatch needed a good mind. Now Sima Shi is not old enough to retire, so it seems that it was a little too early to hand over power to Sima Lun at this time?

Of course, some people were not surprised by this. For example, Zhong Hui, who had been with Sima Shi for a long time, naturally knew more about Sima Shi's thoughts than others. After the retreat of the White Horse, Sima Shi had already expressed the meaning of giving power from time to time. Although he had not told Zhong Hui clearly, he had already guessed Sima Shi's idea, so today, Sima Shi was not surprised at all.

The one who was really surprised and touched the most was Sima Zhao. As Sima Shi's legitimate brother, Sima Zhao didn't hear any news in advance. It was not until today when Sima Shi announced in front of the ministers that Sima Zhao realized it.

What made Sima Zhao the most uncomfortable was that Sima Shi finally chose Sima Lun as his successor, just as when Sima Yi announced his succession at the time of his death, he decided the power of two generations at once. Sima Zhao was very angry at that time. Unexpectedly, after many years, he was hit again, which made Sima Zhao really difficult to accept.
