Chapter 83
What kind of person is Ji Xie? He has been with the king for so many years. He has never seen anyone or experienced anything. Sima Yi's inexplicable appearance has already put a big question mark in Ji Xie's heart.
Whether Sima Yi scolds Wang Ye or greets Ji Xie, in Ji Xie's view, it is mostly for show. After all, over the years, Ji Xie has had a deep understanding of Sima Yi. This old fox can do anything.
The treasure palace.
He and Wang Ye, one was a bad guy and the other was a good guy. Wang Ye was tortured, forced to confess, intimidated and beaten, but after Sima Yi came on the scene, he was kind and caring, and even arranged an escape route to ward off evil spirits.
To ward off evil spirits is to watch with cold eyes. He knew that since Sima Yi was acting, there would be times when his fox tail would show up, so he simply remained calm and wanted to see what Sima Yi's intentions were.
Sure enough, in the end, Sima Yi's fox tail appeared.
Ji Xie deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "Of course our family can't stay in Luoyang anymore, but the late emperor has passed away. How can we, a humble family, have any nostalgia for the Luoyang Palace? We have nothing to say.
."
Sima Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he still said calmly: "The chief minister has left Luoyang. From now on, the chief minister no longer needs to worry about the affairs within the palace. You might as well tell me some things, and I'll leave it in my heart."
concern."
Ji Xie shook his head gently and said: "What else can happen to our family? It's really not worth mentioning. Why should Sima Taifu worry about it?"
Sima Yi reminded him calmly: "No matter how big or small the matter is, the chief minister can inform me. For example, on the day of the late emperor's death, if you heard that the chief minister had left the palace and where he went, you might as well tell me that you know.
"
Jiexie's heart trembled, and it turned out that Sima Yi had an ulterior motive. He obviously didn't have the patience to continue making excuses, and when his plan was revealed, he came directly to ask about the secret edict.
The secret edict was originally done very secretly, but I didn't expect that Sima Yi would hear a little bit of it. At this moment, I felt like a mirror. It turned out that all of this was done by Sima Yi behind the scenes.
"Master Sima must have made a mistake. When the late Emperor passed away, our family had been accompanying the late Emperor and had not left the palace." Bixie denied.
Master Sima had been standing behind Sima Yi. When he heard what Ji Xie said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and wanted to step forward. Sima Yi gently waved his hand to indicate that he should not be impulsive, and then said to Ji Xie in a friendly manner: "The great internal official
We are still young, and we still have plenty of time to enjoy glory and wealth, so why bother thinking about it so hard? The late emperor has already passed away, and whatever he left behind is nothing but passing smoke. The high officials are smart people, so why bother?"
Sima Yi seemed to be sure that Jixie would succumb. In his opinion, a person who couldn't even withstand more than a dozen whips was not a strong person at all. As long as he was kind and powerful, he would not believe him and would not confess.
There was a coldness in Jixie's eyes, as if he was no longer a prisoner at this moment, but still a close servant of the emperor. He asked: "Taifu Sima, the late emperor treated you well. He made you the minister of Gu Ming and allowed you to take charge of military and political power. Why did you
You still want to inquire about things that you shouldn’t know, what’s your intention?”
Sima Yi was slightly startled. He obviously did not expect that Quaixie would say such a thing, but he did not get angry and said calmly: "The late emperor treated me well? Grand Internal Affairs Officer, you are the late emperor's personal servant. Don't you still know how the late emperor behaved?
Being on guard against thieves all day long, even if someone is granted the title of Minister of Guan Ming, are you still worried? Otherwise, why would you need to issue another secret edict to try to check and balance a certain high official? Don’t you feel like the knife is hanging on your neck?
Have you tasted it? I have no disloyal intentions, but I will never allow others to look at me behind my back! High official, you have known each other for many years. Today, I will talk to you from the bottom of my heart. If you are willing to tell the truth about the secret edict,
Your whereabouts, glory and wealth for the rest of your life are all taken care of by me. If you are unwilling to tell, it will not be a simple punishment like a dozen lashes. See the torture tools in this torture room. Each one can make you unable to survive.
You can't die. You should think carefully about where you want to go."
Jixie was silent. When Sima Yi completely tore off his disguise, Jixie had the urge to kill him. It seemed that the late emperor was right. Sima Yi was an eagle-yang minister who was not willing to submit to others. Now he wanted to know by any means necessary.
Who did Emperor Ming give the secret edict to? Didn't he just want to get rid of this hidden danger?
Fortunately, Cao Cao had already noticed Sima Yi's ulterior motives, so he secretly issued the edict. This was equivalent to laying a hidden secret, and only Cao himself and Pixie who issued the secret edict knew about this secret.
Fortunately, Cao Cao, who had no secret edict, did it extremely secretly, so now Sima Yi is desperate to find out who holds the secret edict.
Bixie secretly rejoiced that Sima Yi was more like this, which proved that the fear brought by the secret edict was extremely deep, and also proved how wise Cao's decision was.
"Official official, what are your thoughts?" Sima Yi urged.
In his opinion, this was definitely a sure win. He would be able to ward off evil spirits and live a lifetime of good clothing and fine food. If he had ever suffered such a hardship, all he had to do was threaten and induce him to tell the truth.
I saw Ji Xie nodded slightly and muttered something.
"What?" Sima Yi didn't hear what he said clearly and involuntarily moved closer.
Jixie said again, but it was still unclear.
Sima Yi frowned slightly, whether it was because Ji Xie was injured that he couldn't speak clearly or because he was a bit deaf because of his age, he actually didn't hear clearly even after he said it twice.
Subconsciously, Sima Yi was already very close to warding off evil spirits. Even he thought that there would be no more surprises. His methods were perfect and he would not obey if he did not believe in warding off evil spirits.
Just when Sima Yi was close to within a foot of Jixie, Jixie suddenly burst out, grabbed Sima Yi's throat with both hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Old thief Sima, I want to die with you!"
Things happened in a hurry, and Sima Yi was completely unprepared, and was actually restrained by evil spirits.
After all, Sima Yi was already an old man, and Ji Xie was still in his prime. Sima Yi struggled a bit and tried to push Ji Xie away, but Ji Xie seemed to have gone crazy and exhausted all his strength. Sima Yi could not break free and was no longer angry.
He was out of breath and his face turned red.
The Sima Master who was following behind was shocked at this moment. He hurriedly pulled out his sword and stabbed Jiuxie's body with one sword.
