"Children follow his father's arrangements." Sima Shi said respectfully.

Sima Yi did not hide it. This conversation with Sima Shi was a heart-to-heart exchange between them. Sima Yi naturally said to him directly: "Shier, among your brothers, Zhao'er is impatient, her god is indifferent, and the other sons are mediocre, and their talents are not as good as you. If you assist you, they are hard to take the lead. Only Lun'er, although this son is young, he is extremely smart. If you train him carefully, he will become a great person in the future. It's a pity that my father can't see that day. Therefore, I still have a heartless request for my father. Although you are brothers, you are very different from your age. The elder brother is like a father. After his father dies, I hope you can treat him well and let him inherit his great cause in the future."

Sima Yi's nine sons were born to four wives, the eldest son Sima Shi, the second son Sima Zhao, the third son Sima Gan was born to Zhang Chunhua, the fourth son Sima Liang, the fifth son Sima Yichang, the sixth son Sima Jing, the seventh son Sima Jun was born to Mrs. Fu, the eighth son Sima Hu was born to Mrs. Zhang, and the ninth son Sima Lun was born to Bai Lingjun. The eighth son Sima Lun was born to Bai Lingjun. The first eight sons were all adults, and only Sima Lun was only nine years old and underage.

Among the many scholars, Sima Yi's most despised was Sima Lun. Even Sima Shi, who was the eldest son, did not receive this treatment. Sima Yi's life was sinister and cold, keen on power and tricks, and was relatively unfamiliar with wives, concubines and children. Even if his wife Zhang Chunhua, who shared the joys and sorrows with him, was not favored by Sima Yi after she was old and deteriorated. Even in front of his servants, they called him old things, which showed the status of other people in Sima Yi's mind.

However, after having Sima Lun in his later years, Sima Yi changed his cold nature and loved this child very much. One reason was that Sima Lun was smart, very sweet-mouthed, and very cute. The other reason was that Sima Yi was old and seemed to have to look for sustenance in his emotions, so he was unusually spoiled for this child.

Even Sima Yi had the idea of ​​passing the throne to Sima Lun, but he could only think about it. After all, Sima Lun was still young and had no ability to inherit his great cause. Moreover, he had so many brothers, staring at him one by one. On the day of Sima Yi's death, they dared not make any changes, but when Sima Yi died, they would fight with their orphans and widows.

Sima Yi knew very well that in the face of power, all family affection is nonsense. Because the deposed elders and the establishment of children, there are countless examples of power turmoil. Yuan Shao's fate is very telling. Passing the position to his youngest son does not mean that he loves him, but that he will harm him.

So Sima Yi dared not take risks. Even if he loved Sima Lun the most, he would not be able to hand over his seat to him at this time. However, Sima Yi had ulterior motives. Sima Shi had no offspring, and he was much older than Sima Lun. When Sima Lun became an adult, Sima Shi would be older. If Sima Shi was asked to pass the seat to Sima Lun, it would be completely in line with Sima Yi's expectations.

In this way, Sima Yi did not need to abolish the elders and establish the young people, causing turmoil, and it was completely in line with his wishes. If it could be achieved, it would be perfect.

However, Sima Yi also knew that in this wealthy mansion, brothers may not be able to be united in one's heart and virtue. Since these sons were born from four mothers, there is naturally a distinction between blood relationships. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao are the same mother and the two brothers are of the same age and are naturally closest. If nothing unexpected happens, Sima Zhao will naturally give priority to Sima Zhao to take over his position after Sima Shi died.

This is obviously not the original intention of Sima Yi, so this solemn conversation came into being. Sima Yi clearly told Sima Shi that I can give you my seat, but you can't give this seat to others in the future, you can only give it to your younger brother Sima Lun. Don't you have no son, then you should treat Sima Lun as your son. The elder brother is like a father, and Sima Lun is equivalent to entrusting the orphan to you.

What a Sima Shi is? As soon as Sima Yi said this, he felt as clear as a mirror. To be honest, Sima Lun is indeed smart, but he is not favored by Sima Shi. After all, there are often rumors in Sima's mansion that Sima Yi intends to pass the throne to Sima Lun a hundred years later.

This undoubtedly made Sima Shi's great resentment. He was the eldest son. He was naturally inherited by him. But a dark horse was about to steal the successor from him. How could Sima Shi be content? Therefore, Sima Shi never had any good feelings for Sima Lun.

However, now that the dust has settled, it is not unacceptable that Sima Shi made such an arrangement for Sima Yi. Although he is still closer to Sima Zhao, who is a compatriot, his father's order is difficult to violate. How dare he have any objection at this time?

"How dare I not obey my father's order? Please rest assured that my father will treat Lun as his own, and I will never be distracted." Sima Shi bowed.

Sima Yi's eyes were as sharp as a gaze and said in a deep voice: "Shi'er, I want you to make a great oath and never violate it!"

Sima Shi was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Sima Yi could not believe him, but it was no wonder that Sima Yi was. After all, Sima Yi was alive and he had enough control, but once he died, all his influence disappeared. Sima Yi could not predict whether Sima Shi would keep his promise, so he asked Sima Shi to make a new oath.

Although the so-called oath is only a gentleman rather than a villain, Sima Yi still knows Sima Shi's nature very well, and his possibility of keeping his oath is very high.

Sima Shi hesitated for a moment, but raised his hand and swore: "The son Sima Shi is here to swear that if his younger brother Sima Lun is a parent-child, he will be passed on to him after his death. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven. After his death, his soul will be reduced to hell and he will not be allowed to enter the Sima ancestral temple."

Sima Shi's swearing was very particular. He didn't say anything that could not die well if the five thunders hit him. After all, he swears that he would pass the throne to Sima Lun after death, and that such things were meaningless. However, he would not be allowed to enter the Sima ancestral temple after death, which was in line with Sima Yi's wishes.

People in this era value the ownership of the soul very much. After death, the soul returns to the ancestral temple is much better than being a lonely ghost. I guess this oath is the heaviest oath.

Of course, if Sima Shi is an atheist, it would be another matter.

Seeing that Sima Shi made such a heavy oath, Sima Yi smiled with relief and said, "Shi'er, it's not that he doesn't trust you for his father. It's really because of the situation. Cao Liang is aggressive. Only when you brothers unite and work together can you have the capital to compete with him. Therefore, for the great cause of the Sima family, you still need to watch over and help each other and share weal and woe!"
