When Sima Yi was in power, the only people he valued were Sima Shi and Sima Lun. Sima Shi was the eldest son and had the most outstanding ability. He was always trained by Sima Yi as his heir. Long before the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Shi was promoted to the Central Guard Army and secretly held the three thousand dead soldiers. He was Sima Yi's most capable right-hand man.

However, Sima Zhao has always been despised by Sima Yi. Before the Gaopingling Incident, he served as the General of the Diannong Central Army, an official in charge of farming and the son of the Grand Tutor, but he was in charge of farming. Sima Zhao couldn't stand up when he saw anyone.

Well, Sima Zhao admits that he is not as good as Sima Shi. Sima Shi is the eldest son and has outstanding abilities. If he wants to compete with Sima Shi, he really has no chance of winning, so Sima Zhao can only be willing to be a green leaf and a foil.

However, Sima Zhao still has some selfish thoughts. If Sima Shi can live a long life for a long time and at least live to the age of Sima Yi, then Sima Zhao will have no thoughts, but everyone is surprised. If Sima Shi dies in advance, then among the brothers, it is naturally Sima Zhao who is a senior citizen.

Unfortunately, Sima Yi's decision before his death made Sima Zhao completely disappointed, that is, Sima Yi not only arranged for Sima Shi to inherit the throne, but also appointed Sima Shi a hundred years later, his youngest son Sima Lun would be replaced by Sima Shi.

Sima Lun is Sima Yi's youngest son, who is the youngest, how young? That is, Sima Shi's youngest fifth daughter and Sima Zhao's son Sima Yan are older than him. Sima Shi and Sima Lun are called brothers, but in fact they are like father and son. The difference between the two is thirty years old. In many people's eyes, Sima Yi's arrangement is perfect.

They were suitable, but Sima Zhao's mentality completely collapsed. He had a glimmer of hope. If Sima Shi died first, he would have a great chance. However, Sima Yi made such arrangements to destroy Sima Zhao's last hope.

Sima Zhao has always been an ambitious person and has a stronger desire for power than others. He thought that Sima Zhao had a great chance of becoming a powerful family like the Sima family.

Unfortunately, Sima Yi never valued him, so how could he let him take over the power? Since Sima Shi ascended the throne, Sima Zhao has been depressed and often lamented that he was born at the wrong time.

Among the ministers, Jia Chong and Sima Zhao had a close relationship, so Jia Chong gave Sima Zhao the advice of him to adopt his second son Sima You to Sima Shi. It was because Sima Shi had no son that Sima Yi made such an arrangement. If Sima Shi had a son, it would not be Sima Lun's turn to anyway.

If Sima Shi really had something unexpected, then the one who inherited his father's successor and took over the power would definitely be Sima You. As Sima You's biological father, Sima Zhao would definitely be able to share a lot of power from it. Even if Sima You was young, he would not be able to replace him.

Because Sima You's origin is a mystery, Wang Yuanji, he was disliked by Sima Zhao and had not met for several years. Jia Chong's plan really made Sima Zhao feel excited. It's a good deal to exchange a bastard of unknown origin for the power of the world!

However, this matter was strongly opposed by Wang Yuanji and was accused by suicide. What's even more bloody is that Sima Zhao confirmed through a blood test that Sima You was really his species. Now Sima Zhao lost his wife and was so depressed that he almost died of anger.

But everything is done and it is too late to regret it. For his own power plan, Sima Zhao gritted his teeth and adopted Sima You as a Sima Shi, hoping that he would have a chance to win an unlimited bright future in the future.

Especially after the Battle of Jizhou, Sima Shi was blind, which made Sima Zhao very excited. It seemed that his long-awaited wish was about to be fulfilled.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. Although Sima Shi was blind, he still had no intention of delegating power. He personally defended Baima Du and presided over the Yanzhou defense line. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that Sima Shi would actually use Sima Lun as the governor of Yangzhou, the general of the Eastern Expedition, to fight against the rebellious Zhuge Dan.

This is wrong. If Sima Shi intends to let his son Sima You take over the power, he shouldn't have trained Sima Lun. It is true that Sima You is a little small and can't lead the army to fight, but Sima Lun is not big. When he went to Huainan, he was only thirteen years old. Sima Zhao really doesn't believe that a yellow-mouthed child who has not grown all over can accomplish anything.

But what surprised Sima Zhao was that Sima Lun not only won the battle, but also had a beautiful victory, which successfully pacified Zhuge Dan.

Sima Zhao asked himself that he could not fight so smoothly in such a battle. Even the old generals in the court might not be able to fight better than Sima Lun. Facts have proved that Sima Lun's battle made him famous, which naturally made Sima Zhao worry.

This is not a good sign. Sima Shi's emphasis on Sima Lun is clearly intended to let Sima Lun take over. Once Sima Lun succeeds to the throne, will not all his previous efforts be wasted?

Wang Yuanji died, and his son was given away for nothing. Everything was in vain. Sima Zhao could not accept such a result. He had been working hard for so many years and finally waited for such an opportunity, but he watched the opportunity flow quietly from his fingers with his own eyes. The mechanism could end up being empty, and Sima Zhao was completely desperate.

Sima Zhao's head was dizzy, and he seemed to be unable to remember what happened next. In a daze, he only saw those who were competing for the flames and accomplicating Sima Lun, and he was so proud of his ability. On the contrary, the second young master whom everyone looked up to was neglected to the side and no one cared about it.

The world is cold and people's hearts are not old! Sima Zhao's face looked extremely ugly. He just responded to it with a few words in vain, then found an excuse and slipped out. If he continued to stay in the lobby, Sima Zhao felt that he could really collapse.

This sudden blow made Sima Zhao feel depressed. He was confused and wanted to find a place to get drunk. Perhaps only by getting drunk can he alleviate the pain in his heart.

There are many wine shops on the streets of Chang'an. With the arrival of Luoyang migrants, the whole Chang'an has become prosperous and noisy. Sima Zhao casually found a restaurant, ordered several jars of wine, and drank by himself. After a while, he got drunk.
