Chapter 1644 You have to be buried with him
It is impossible for Sima Lun to not install eyeliners in Chang'an City, and these eyeliners are usually masters. Even if the gates of Chang'an City are all closed, they cannot stop these masters with unique skills. So when Cao Mao was assassinated, Sima Lun quickly got the news.
When Sima Lun heard this news, he was shocked. He knew very well that the situation in Guanzhong is now in danger, and any change may lead to a major disaster. Cao Mao's sudden assassination made the situation in Guanzhong change in an uncontrollable direction, and the situation was greatly damaged.
After Sima Lun took over Sima Shi's position, he not only strengthened the defense system around Guanzhong, but also actively worked to improve the situation within Guanzhong, especially the stability in Chang'an City. This is related to the overall situation of Guanzhong's defense system. In this regard, Sima Lun has never dared to be careless.
When dealing with the emperor Cao Mao, Simalun also used a kind attitude as much as possible. Although Cao Mao was unruly in his bones, Simalun knew that Cao Mao, who was powerless, could not cause any storm after all. As long as he was comforted and gave him a sense of advantage of being an emperor, it was almost not difficult to stabilize Cao Mao.
The Sima family's situation is in an extremely dangerous state. Sima Lun has to focus his main energy on the defense of the Eastern Front, so ensuring that the backyard does not catch fire is the first principle.
But things went against my wishes. Sima Lun was afraid of anything. At the critical moment when he and Cao Liang fought in Pubanjin, the backyard really caught fire, and the fire was not as big as ordinary, and Cao Mao actually collapsed.
This disrupted all Simalun's plans, and there was no stable rear. It was almost a luxury to defend Guanzhong. As soon as the news came, Simalun's head became big in an instant.
But he didn't know that such a change was just a prelude, and even more importantly, the matter that made him have a big deal.
Logically speaking, Cao Mao was deeply in the palace, with many guards, and it was not easy for assassins to assassinate him. According to the news sent, Cao Mao was assassinated by the prince's son Cheng Ji. To be honest, Sima Lun really has no impression of who Cheng Ji is, but according to Chang'an, after Cheng Ji was captured, he confessed that Cao Liang sent him to assassinate Cao Mao, Sima Lun felt strange. Not to mention how Cao Liang instigated Cheng Ji, just about assassinating Cao Mao alone, how could Cao Liang not know that Cao Mao was just a puppet, the emperor in his name, and without any power. What is the use of assassinating him? If Cao Liang really wanted to assassinate, the first target should be himself or Sima Shi. Even if it was assassination of Sima Zhao, it would be better than assassinating Cao Mao?
Therefore, the confession about Cheng Ji is not enough to be accepted. Moreover, if Cheng Ji really has the courage and courage to be an assassin, he must have the courage of Jing Ke Zhuangzhu, treating death as if he is homeless and righteous, rather than just offering the master behind the scenes casually.
Obviously, Cheng Ji's so-called confession was just a frame-up. He deliberately placed the charge on Cao Liang's head, which was not much different from the death without evidence. Anyway, no one could blame Cao Liang if he sent Cheng Ji to assassinate Cao Mao.
If this matter is left to Sima Lun for interrogation, he can definitely find the flaws from Cheng Ji's mouth and find out the truth. Unfortunately, Cheng Ji was executed by Sima Zhao that day.
On the contrary, Sima Zhao's actions were a bit incredible. He was so anxious to execute Cheng Ji. Could it be that there was something wrong with this?
Thinking of Cheng Ji himself as Sima Zhao's subordinate and Sima Zhao rushed to the palace immediately after the incident, Sima Lun couldn't help but wonder how Cao Mao died was obviously a huge mystery.
Just as Sima Lun was still wondering why Cao Mao died, two earth-shaking news came from Chang'an. The Sima Mansion caught fire and Sima Shi was unfortunately buried in the sea of fire. Then, Sima Zhao blatantly proclaimed himself emperor, pro-State Wei, and changed the country's name to Jin.
These three things are linked together, and no matter how stupid a person is, he will not think that there is no connection between them. If you take a closer look, you will easily come to a conclusion, that is, Sima Zhao killed his brother and the emperor in order to ascend the throne, and did all his conscience and disobey human relations.
Sima Zhao is an ambitious person. How could Sima Lun not see through this? When Sima Lun was a child, he was appointed by Sima Yi as the successor behind Sima Shi. No other brothers had any objections. Only Sima Zhao performed the most urgently, and he kept using tricks to try to take over the power of Sima Shi's control by his son Sima You.
Sima Lun is not an unintentional person, but he values family affection relatively more seriously. If Sima Zhao was just fighting for power and profit and had no extreme actions, Sima Lun would not take him any way. After all, with this brotherly relationship, Sima Lun would not take some of his small actions to heart.
After taking over the position, Sima Lun even entrusted Sima Zhao with important tasks, allowing him to serve as the prefect of Fengyi, be responsible for the defense line in the north, and even gave him all his mounts. Sima Lun just hopes that in this critical moment, their brothers can unite, work together, and be united in the outside world, and their brothers will work together to cut off gold.
But by chance, Sima Zhao actually fell off the horse's back and broke his leg. Since it was the one Sima Lun gave to Sima Zhao that broke Sima Zhao, Sima Lun felt very guilty and did not think about it anywhere else.
Now that I have carefully savored it, there are many tricks in it. Sima Zhao broke his leg and could not go to Feng Yi to perform his duties. Then he might be able to seek greater actions in Chang'an City. Sure enough, Sima Zhao really did such a shocking thing after less than half a year. Obviously, the fall of the horse was probably a bitter plan.
It was really difficult for Sima Zhao. He racked his brains and even paid the price of disability, and wanted to seize the throne for the sake of power. Is it so great that the temptation of power is really so great?
Since taking over the power, Simalun has worked hard all day long, worked hard and did nothing. There are so many things he has to deal with. Simalun often sighed that this position of power is really hard to do. If there is really a suitable candidate, he would rather quit his job and go around the mountains and forests, and indulge in the world. That is the most pleasant thing.
However, in order to get to power, Sima Zhao was scheming and harmed his brothers and sisters, and he did not consider the situation facing the Sima family now. For the sake of power, Sima Zhao almost reached a madness and set himself on fire. He was just unlucky that it was not just him, but the entire Sima family, who probably had to be buried with him.
