In Sima Zhao's eyes, Sima Lun had long regarded him as a villain who was sweet-mouthed. If Sima Lun was really the good man Sima Yi mentioned, how could he take advantage of the situation and overtake them?

Sima Lun is naturally intelligent. Among all his brothers, his mind is more flexible than anyone else. Although he is polite and respectful to everyone, Sima Zhao knew that Sima Lun was the one with the most scheming skills. I am afraid no one can play with him.

He was able to get Sima Yi's love for Bai Lingjun, so he loved the house and the mistress. Naturally, Sima Lun became the treasure in Sima Yi's hand.

But he was also able to get the love of Sima Shi, so he had nothing to do with Bai Lingjun. He relied on his own ability to please Sima Shi, which was the only one who was able to get the power today.

Although Sima Shi had Sima Yi's last order to be abide by, it might not be the main reason. If Sima Shi hated Sima Lun from the bottom of his heart, then he would rather bear the name of unfilial piety than hand over the throne to him.

From this we can see that in Sima Shi's mind, he still likes Sima Lun, and even the degree of favor is far stronger than other brothers. Even Sima Zhao, the brother of his mother, may have a status below Sima Lun. Otherwise, how could this great power in charge of the court fall into Sima Lun's hands?

Sima Zhao racked his brains to do everything he could to solve for this position. In the end, he paid his wife and still did not get the result he wanted. This made Sima Zhao very angry and hated Sima Lun to the core.

But before Sima Zhao could use any measures, Sima Lun actually took the lead.

Sima Yi gave birth to nine sons in total. In addition to the eldest son Sima Shi and the youngest son Sima Lun, there were seven sons. Among these seven sons, the ones who were the most capable of fighting against him were Sima Zhao, Sima Yiqiang and Sima Liang. But Sima Lun had a pot of steamed-in and sent them to the three counties in the northern region to stay away from Chang'an, away from the court, and away from the center of power.

Perhaps others don’t know what Sima Lun beat him, but Sima Zhao is a Qing family. The three northern counties are far away from Chang'an and are desolate and remote. If the three of them are transferred, no one will pose a threat to Sima Lun’s status anymore. Sima Lun’s status will become increasingly consolidated. Even if they have the opportunity to be transferred back to the court in the future, Sima Lun’s climate has become, and Sima Zhao and the others will be suppressed tightly, and there will be no chance of resistance.

The defense of the north is the top priority, and it is completely a nonsense that Sima Lun talked about. Sima Zhao never believed it from the heart. Cao Liang did not walk from Pubanjin and Tongguan Avenue, but he detoured hundreds of miles away and marched from Shuofang, which was almost barren. Unless Cao Liang was brainly ill, he would choose such an offensive route.

In order to arrange defense, Sima Lun handed over the Wuguan and Pubanjin, which were gathered heavily, to Hu Fen, Zhou Tai, and Zhong Hui to defend. Since he thought his brothers were more reliable, why didn't he hand over these three key passes to the three brothers to guard them, but instead handed over the three northern counties that did not shit.

This was obviously a premeditated plan by Simalun. He used this opportunity to squeeze them out of the power center of the court, and from then on he monopolized the power and had no worries anymore. He must be very calculating!

Moreover, Sima Lun's handling method was quite clever. He did not give orders by himself. Although he is now a general, he has the power to make decisions in the court, the power to mobilize soldiers and the power to appoint and remove officials, he still cleverly kicked the ball to Sima Shi.

Although Sima Shi has retreated to the second line, no one dares to deny Sima Shi's right to speak in the court, especially on the descendants of the Sima family, which has a considerable influence. Even if Sima Lun's words are not easy to use, once Sima Shi comes forward, all the problems can be settled instantly. After all, Sima Shi's prestige is there, who dares not to obey?

Sima Zhao suffered a loss this time. Even though he was reluctant to do so, he could only accept Sima Shi's appointment helplessly. Sima Zhao could not care about the orders of others, but Sima Shi really could not disobey Sima Shi's orders. The deterrent power formed over the years has always been suppressed by Sima Zhao. Even if Sima Shi is blind, for Sima Zhao, his elder brother is like his father. Unless Sima Shi dies, he will eventually be a big stone on Sima Zhao's head and cannot be moved away.

Sima Zhao complained and complained in front of Sima Yi and Sima Liang, but at most these words were just a saying. Sima Zhao didn't have to worry that Sima Yi and Sima Liang would go to inform him. No matter what Sima Yi and Sima Liang had thought of Sima Lun before, from now on, Sima Zhao had laid two nails in their hearts, and might be used by him in the future.

But now, since they have accepted the appointment of Sima Shi, they must rush to the three counties in the north as soon as possible, which is obviously impossible to delay.

Sima Zhao returned to his mansion. After arriving in Chang'an, although the Sima family was a prominent magnificent in the court, Chang'an was not as big as Luoyang, and there was indeed not such a big house for the Sima family to serve as a private residence. Sima Shi did not care and ordered several residences to be arranged for Sima Zhao and other brothers to move out, including Sima Zhao, Sima Yichang, Sima Liang and others.

Sima Shi lived with Sima Lun and several other younger brothers. The biggest reason was Sima Lun. After all, if you live with Sima Lun, it would be convenient for communication if you have anything to do.

As for Sima Zhao, Sima Yi, Sima Liang and others, they should have their own mansions since they had grown up long ago, but they were still used to it when they were in Luoyang, so the whole family lived in Sima's mansion and no one wanted to move first.

But when we arrived in Chang'an, the situation suddenly changed. Chang'an could not find such a large ready-made mansion. What's more, Sima Shi was temporarily interested in Chang'an. He really wanted to build a luxurious mansion of the same size as Luoyang, but it would be impossible to do without some time.

Sima Shi was not confused about this. Anyway, they came to Chang'an for a temporary period and should not stay for too long. Therefore, Sima Shi has not agreed to rebuild the luxurious mansion. It is better to be low-key when there are so many things.

Sima Zhao and others did not comment. Whether they stayed or left, it didn't make much sense.

When Jia Chong arrived, Sima Zhao had just returned to his mansion, with a gloomy face.
