Chapter 641
ps: chapter anti-theft, will be corrected later
But for Sima Yi, it was a major failure and setback. Even if the aristocratic family was determined to confront Cao Shuang, their power was ultimately limited. Now Cao Shuang controls the military power of the capital and the power both internally and externally.
Standing at the pinnacle of life, full of civil and military officials, there is no other unmatched opponent.
Originally, Sima Yi thought that Queen Mother Guo's power could be borrowed more or less. As long as the Sima family could tie Queen Mother Guo to their Sima family's chariot through the bond of marriage, then the Sima family might be able to compete.
Cao Shuang’s capital.
However, he did not expect that Cao Shuang risked the disapproval of the world and forced the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace and placed her under house arrest. The "brittle defeat" of the Empress Dowager Guo was completely beyond Sima Yi's expectation.
It really depends on heaven and earth, but it doesn't work on earth. It seems that if the Sima family wants to achieve great things, they have to rely on themselves.
Just when the ministers in the court were discussing and the crowd was agitated, Sima Yi quietly left the hall. When everyone united to look for him, Sima Yi had long disappeared.
Now that Cao Shuang is in power, what's the point of engaging in a verbal dispute? Of course, Sima Yi will not be as impulsive as these younger generations. It seems that he must make a new plan.
Sima Yi was as forbearing as a tortoise in his life, and could express his emotions and anger. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of his eyes, he could still remain calm. His chest was filled with thunder and his face was as flat as a lake. When he left the palace, Yu Linlang, who was guarding the entrance of the palace,
You couldn't even notice any change in Sima Yi's expression.
As if going up and down normally, Sima Yi's steps were as steady as ever, although they were a little staggering.
No one can truly understand what is hidden deep in Sima Yi's heart.
Without Sima Yi, the entire family sect became leaderless. At best, everyone could just grumble, complain twice, and then disperse.
After all, the power in the court is now controlled by Cao Shuang's cronies. Even Jiang Ji, who is the Grand Tutor Sima Yi, is in a position of being ignored. And they, the young men of the aristocratic family, are in the court.
Among them, at most they only held insignificant official positions. Without Sima Yi to take the lead, these people would not be able to accomplish anything.
The incident of force-forcing the imperial family, which was originally thought to cause an uproar in the court, ended so quietly. Even Cao Shuang, the initiator of the whole incident, was deeply baffled.
Cao Shuang had not agreed to Ding Mi's plan before, but he was a little hesitant, fearing that this move would attract civil and military opposition from the court. However, he did not expect that when it was actually implemented, it turned out to be so smooth, which made Cao Shuang somewhat unexpected.
All this has gone so smoothly. So far, everything in the court has been calm. Although there are occasionally some discordant voices, the main tone is on Cao Shuang's side. There is not even a single person who questions it face to face. See
No one can shake my own deterrent power.
The attitude of others may not be important. What Cao Shuang valued most was Sima Yi's attitude. Originally, Cao Shuang had planned that if Sima Yi dared to stand up and oppose him, Cao Shuang could take advantage of the situation and defeat Sima Yi.
But the result was that Cao Shuang's heavy punch, which he was preparing to strike, failed to hit the exact target. It was like punching into cotton, with nowhere to exert its force.
Although the result is a bit unexpected, it is what Cao Shuang wants to see the most. It seems that no one can shake his position in the court. I am so powerful!
Cao Shuang's position as General and Assistant Minister has always been criticized by people. Many people believe that with Cao Shuang's ability, it is impossible for him to sit for a long time.
Especially after the failure of the Battle of Hanzhong, more and more people questioned Cao Shuang. Many people wrote to the emperor to take charge of the government and abolish the position of auxiliary minister. This in itself was a test for Cao Shuang and forced Cao Shuang to take desperate risks.
Launched an operation aimed at forcing Empress Dowager Guo to convict.
After Empress Dowager Guo was put under house arrest, the pro-government forces in the court were severely hit. No one dared to propose pro-government advice anymore. Cao Shuang's position seemed to have become more stable than ever.
The Sima family has become relatively more low-key. After the forced uterus incident, Sima Yi once again claimed to be ill and refused to go to court. Moreover, the marriage between the Sima family and the Zhen family is not known to be canceled or postponed. Anyway, there is no news yet.
.
The purpose of the marriage between the Sima family and the Zhen family was to win over the Queen Mother Guo, but now that the Queen Mother Guo is under house arrest in Yongning Palace, she has long lost her power, and the marriage with the Zhen family seems to have become insignificant.
After Xia Houxuan got the news, he was very excited. Although the Sima family did not explicitly cancel the marriage, it was definitely shelved and would not force Sima Ru to get married. For Sima Ru, this may be the most important thing.
Good results.
The Sima family did not explicitly announce the dissolution of the engagement, but they clearly had a back-up plan. If Empress Dowager Guo regained power, the Sima family would not want to suffer repeated bad reputations.
Since the matter has not yet been made clear, the attitude of the Sima family is also extremely ambiguous. If the Queen Mother Guo regains control of the harem one day, the Sima family will definitely renew the engagement. But if the Queen Mother Guo is completely unable to turn over, the marriage contract will eventually become an affair.
piece of waste paper.
Unlike Xia Houxuan who was extremely happy, Cao Liang smiled faintly and didn't say anything too much. After all, Xia Houxuan was concerned about his niece's marriage, but Cao Liang had nothing to do with it and was aloof.
However, being able to break the marriage between the Sima family and the Zhen family this time is still something worth celebrating. As long as it can hit the Sima family, Cao Liang is happy to see it.
The Sima family endured silence. It seemed to be calm on the surface, but Cao Liang knew that this was just a short calm before the storm. The Sima family was hit and suppressed, but they would soon rebound and retaliate.
, an unprecedented storm may already be brewing.
There are undercurrents surging in Luoyang City, and people from all walks of life are on the stage. Maybe in the near future, a storm will sweep across the entire Luoyang City, and then spread to the entire world.
The storm is coming, and Cao Liang believes that Sima Yi's forbearance may be coming to an end soon. After forbearing for a lifetime and acting for a lifetime, Sima Yi probably won't continue to act when he really shows his fangs.
When that happens, what kind of scene will it be?
