Sima Yi didn't say a word, he just raised his head and looked at Liu Qi with some confusion.

"No one can know who is good at hiding, and no one can hide who can know... You deliberately showed me a calm look today, but at the same time you showed these three carefully written edicts, in order to give me

I show that I am eager for quick success, but I can afford it and let it go, right?"

Sima Yi's expression changed slightly in an instant, but it was fleeting.

He then smiled and said: "The kings are too preoccupied, how can the junior officials be so preoccupied?"

"Really? Maybe I'm overthinking it...but since we've started chatting, we might as well say a few more words."

After saying that, Liu Qi stood up slowly, walked up to Sima Yi, stared at him coldly, and said: "Those who are good at hiding are generally ambitious, with eyes above their heads, and disdain to serve the incompetent.

My dear, you were forced by your father to come under my command. It can be said that I have both obeyed your wishes and not obeyed your wishes at the same time."

Sima Yi bowed with a long bow: "The prince praises me too highly."

Liu Qi shook his head and said: "It's not a high praise. The three resignations and three resignations you gave me today will undoubtedly make me think highly of you, especially your six resignation articles.

The writing is watertight, and if there are no accidents, I will use it... You can achieve such great achievements at a young age, and you will be famous all over the world in the future, and I will definitely pay attention to you."

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as I said just now, if you think that I am someone who clings to the powerful, you don't need to use me. I will study in autumn and winter, and hunt in spring and summer..."

Liu Qi slowly raised his hand and said: "This is your brilliance. These words sound like the wind and the clouds are calm, but in fact they are retreating in order to advance. After you finish saying these words, do you think I still have something to say?"

Isn’t the reason why I don’t need you?”

Sima Yi stopped talking, still lowering his head and saying nothing.

Liu Qi did not urge him to speak, but just asked and answered his own questions: "In this way, although I have used you, I will not treat you poorly, but I will not treat you as the most confidant, but this will not be good for you.

Say, it is the best result... you have become famous, you have an official position, and the Lord also values ​​you, but at the same time he will not get too close to you, and maintain a safe distance that is close or far away. This is what you want

You want it, right? Is this what your father taught you, or is it your own idea?"

Sima Yi is still young after all.

After listening to Liu Qi's words, although there was no expression on his face, dense beads of sweat began to flow from his forehead.

It was obvious that his calm demeanor just now could no longer be maintained.

I thought that my thoughts were very careful and deep, but I never thought that Liu Qi would think of this level in advance.

"The low-level officials are afraid that they will have no land... This matter has nothing to do with Lord Yan."

Sima Yi held it in for a long time and didn't know how to explain it. He could only suddenly kneel to the ground and then bow to the ground.

Liu Qi lowered his head and looked at him quietly.

Suddenly, Liu Qi was heard laughing.

He knelt down, patted Sima Yi's shoulder with his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, I'm just teasing you... Why are you so careless about teasing me?"

Sima Yi stood up and looked at Liu Qi doubtfully, but saw that his face was full of smiles, and his cold and stern air was gone.

"Tease, are you kidding me?"

"No, you are really ignorant...did it scare you?"

"No, no... Junhou is teasing well, teasing well, teasing is wonderful."

"Get up." Liu Qi reached out and helped Sima Yi up.

Sima Yi hurriedly followed Liu Qi and stood up.

"I have received your memorial...the memorial and resignation letter with three invitations and three words are very well written. I just thought about it and found that I can't change a single word."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."

Liu Qi turned around, picked up the six pieces of silk from the table, handed it to Sima Yi, and said with a smile: "How about I leave this matter to you?"

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Let me do this? The junior officials are too junior."

"Qualifications are something that can only be accumulated once you accumulate them. If you don't do something big, you will never have the qualifications. Isn't it the time for you to accumulate your qualifications now?"

After saying that, he handed the six pieces of silk to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi looked hesitant on his face when he saw the silk pieces delivered to him by Liu Qi.

"It's okay, don't think too much, just pick it up if you want to, don't pick it up if you don't want to, don't worry so much...especially don't do any self-harming behavior when you go home after picking up something, it's not necessary, everyone is busy

, just put it out there."

Sima Yi was fine at first, but when he heard the last words Liu Qi just said, his inner defense completely collapsed.

Before becoming an official, he had made plans for his future. In this troubled world, he would encounter things that he did not want to do at any time, but had to do.

At that time, Sima Yi had already considered that if he really encountered such a situation and it was no longer possible, he would harm himself so that no one could find fault and he could move forward and retreat freely.

But he has never told anyone about this idea. It can be said to be the biggest secret in his heart.

Is the former general in front of me a god or a monster?

Liu Qi laughed a few times when he saw this: "You're not kidding, aren't you? I'm joking with you."

After that, he took the six pieces of silk back.

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly reached out and took the silk in Liu Qi's hand, then gave Liu Qi a long bow and said: "This matter! I am willing to take care of it!"

Liu Qi didn't seem surprised. He put the thing in Sima Yi's hand with a smile and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

…

That night, Sima Yi returned to his mansion with six pieces of silk, met with Sima Fang, and stated the matter to him.

After hearing Sima Yi's statement, Sima Fang became furious on the spot. He picked up a wine baron on the table and threw it at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi did not dodge, and allowed the wine baron to hit him on the forehead, which was directly broken.

Sima Lang was shocked when he saw this, and rushed forward to protect Sima Fang's thigh, begging him not to punish his brother.

Sima Fang panted and looked at Sima Yi, even wanting to beat him to death.

But after Sima Lang's persuasion, Sima Fang's anger calmed down.

He panted and sat on the ground, looked at Sima Yi angrily, and said: "I let you and your brother go to the former general's command because I hope to give you two a good future, but you must be down-to-earth in everything you do.

Do it, but now you are so eager for quick success and quick gain, and you have given such a thing to the former general. Now the former general asked our Sima family to do this... Do you know that doing this is tantamount to completely tying up the Sima family?

Do you know that he is tied to the former general's chariot and there is no room for maneuver? Why didn't you tell me before doing this?"

Sima Yi said: "I know I was wrong. I am too confident."

Sima Fang was so angry that he jumped up and kicked Sima Yi on the waist, knocking him over.

"Silly man! Even if he can become the emperor, the Sima family should not get too close to him now. I have told you before that when you go to work for him, you must be close to each other, and close to you.

Only in this way can we advance and retreat in a right way and remain invincible... Although the ministers in the court are attracted by his kindness and power, it can be seen from his governance in Jingchu that this person's method of governance is different from that of the wealthy families and scholars in the north.

On the contrary, if you are too close to him, won't you put the Sima family against the world's scholars?"

Sima Yi did not speak. He just patted the shoe prints left by Sima Fang on his body, stood up, bowed to Sima Fang, and said: "My original intention is the same, but through contact with the prince, my child discovered this.

People are unusual…”

"Nonsense! If he were an ordinary person, how could he have achieved what he has today?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "It's different...Father, although the child is still young, he still has the ability to recognize people. He is the first person in the world who can see through the child's thoughts. He cannot be in contact with such a person."

It is impossible to stay with the former general without offending the Qin Dynasty and the late Chu Dynasty."

Sima Fang said angrily: "Are you feeling proud? He is not the only one who can see through your thoughts, but also your father and me!"

After a pause, Sima Fang sighed: "Now that things have come to an end, what do you think?"

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Back to my father, I originally wanted to make some meritorious deeds under the former general and find a position. After the former general ascended the throne, I will observe the political situation of the new emperor before making a final decision. But now it seems that I am afraid that

It's impossible... From the child's current position, when dealing with such a heroic figure, we can only provide full assistance and cannot hide other thoughts."

Sima Fangqi said: "Then where do you want to go to the Sima family? If you don't say anything else, just because he doesn't establish an imperial college, our Sima family cannot recognize him."

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment: "If the father is afraid that the child will behave too much and drag down the Sima family, how about driving the child out of the door?"

"You traitor! You even have the nerve to say this. You want to make your father angry to death!"

Sima Yi didn't say anything, he just knelt on the ground again and kowtowed heavily to Sima Fang.

"Father, please believe me for once. Children are very accurate in judging people. This former general... can see into people's minds. He is really like a god. Our Sima family cannot have both sides at the moment. The world's leading families and the former general can only choose one of them."

On the contrary, this is the real way to preserve the clan."

After saying that, Sima Yi straightened up and said solemnly: "Father, please believe in the child's eyesight."

Looking at Sima Yi's solemn expression, Sima Fang hesitated.

"Oh, I believe in you, my father... But, our Sima family in Wen County is also a prominent family in Hanoi. Can't you let me, my father, take care of himself now?"

Sima Yi said seriously: "If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Some sacrifices must be made."
