Chapter 333 I humbly submit that the Holy Dynasty governs the world with filial piety.
How old was he?
Old Zhu exchanged a suspicious glance with Zhu Biao.
According to his prediction, Li Shanchang should not live to see the day the crown prince ascends the throne.
Although Zhu Biao was someone he had raised from childhood, Old Zhu did not intend to leave behind troublesome figures like the Huaixi Gang and Hu Weiyong.
Before handing it over to Zhu Biao, he will make the court cleaner and easier to govern.
In addition, Old Zhu believed that he was in good health, and most of his old buddies were around his age. He thought that outliving most of them shouldn't be a big problem.
He was relieved when Zhu Di uttered a number.
"Seventy-seven years old."
Seventy-seven, that's alright.
Old Zhu calculated that when Li Shanchang was seventy-seven years old, he was only sixty-three.
Absolutely no problem!
He can't possibly not live to be sixty-three!
Outliving Li Shanchang is just the basics!
But Zhu Di's next words stunned him.
"Dad, you need to know one thing: the reason you can live to seventy-one is because that's how long your lifespan is."
“But Li Shanchang lived to be seventy-seven years old because you killed him in that year; otherwise, it might not have been so.”
"After all, he was over seventy years old and still took a concubine. Who knows how much longer he can live?"
"By then, won't you see him looking more and more like Sima Yi?"
Old Zhu: “…”
Boss Cao: "..."
Boss Cao was now certain that he hadn't misread it.
He did see Zhu Di's earlier comment that Li Shanchang looked more and more like Sima Yi.
This puzzled him.
Li Shanchang was clearly a strategist for the unified dynasty, and it can be said that he made great contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's great cause.
In the end, Sima Yi was nothing more than a member of Cao Wei.
Even Cao Cao failed to unify the Cao Wei state, so he couldn't quite understand why people would say that Li Shanchang was becoming more and more like Sima Yi.
He's not some old scoundrel like Sima Yi, he's not some country bumpkin like Zhuge Liang, when did he become so capable?
"Could you explain why you say Li Shanchang resembles Sima Yi? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Sima Yi, who was covered in sweat not far away.
“A man as disloyal and unrighteous as Sima Yi is naturally not a good thing. There is a saying in later generations: ‘I humbly submit that the Holy Dynasty governs the world with filial piety.’”
"Why emphasize filial piety? It's because the Jin Dynasty lost all sense of loyalty and righteousness starting from Sima Yi's generation."
Zhu Di curled his lip in disdain.
Boss Cao: "..."
Old man, you've been hiding it well!
So the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty is the same Sima family as you, old man!
"Could you please explain in detail what he did?"
Boss Cao's voice was cold and sinister, and the officials sitting not far away were sweating profusely.
Especially Sima Yi.
At that moment, only two words remained in his mind.
Spicy balls!
Knowing Cao Cao's suspicious nature as he did, even if those people in the sky made it sound plausible, and even if there was a misunderstanding later, Sima Yi would most likely still lose his head!
However, most people chose to keep the mystery a secret from those above the sky.
"As the immortal said before, a new round of evaluation will begin after the list of wise rulers. You will find out then."
"If we reveal this now, and the immortals decide not to take stock, the losses will be enormous. Cao Mengde, you should be patient and wait a little longer."
Nobody knows why this inventory system came about.
However, many people have already benefited from it and naturally do not want any accidents to happen.
"Moreover, what we say is something you can't verify, and it may not be that detailed."
"I can only say that Sima Yi's cunning and the extent to which he survived far exceeded the expectations of everyone in your Cao family."
Li Er and Zhu Di exchanged words back and forth.
Although no specific details were revealed, Mr. Cao is no fool.
Upon seeing these words, he pondered silently.
Could it be that Sima Yi outlived him and then rebelled?
wrong.
After thinking about it, Mr. Cao dismissed the speculation.
Although Cao Pi's skills were not as good as his, they were not far off, and he was equally ruthless.
He's no innocent lamb; Sima Yi probably wouldn't dare cause trouble in his hands.
Even if this old man really wanted to die, Cao Pi was fully capable of suppressing him directly.
Is it going to be later?
It would be one thing if he outlived himself, but he even outlived Cao Pi. How long could this old man live?
The more Mr. Cao thought about it, the more doubts arose in his mind.
His gaze toward Sima Yi grew increasingly sinister.
Even though the people on the celestial screen were unwilling to tell the truth, and the immortal had not yet begun to take stock of Sima Yi's affairs, he had already sentenced the old man to death in his heart.
With a temperament that says "I'd rather wrong others than be wronged by them," how could I possibly tolerate this grain of sand!
Sima Yi, who was not far away with his head down, was also making plans in his mind.
He knew he was most likely going to die, but whether he died alone, his entire family, or his entire clan made a difference.
Even someone as intelligent as him couldn't imagine what he would do that would be so outrageous in the future; he could only imagine the worst possible outcome.
He disrupted the court, plotted a rebellion, usurped the throne of Cao Wei, and changed the dynasty to Jin.
If we count them in this way, it would probably have reached the point where even an anthill couldn't be left behind for the entire nine generations of the family.
Once we get back, we'll dismiss all the clansmen!
This was his first reaction.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao had clearly thought of it a step ahead of him.
"Men, seize that old bastard! Keep his entire clan under strict guard! Anyone who dares to let a single person escape will have their entire family's heads paid in exchange!"
Boss Cao waved his hand, and Xu Chu beside him scratched his head.
"Prime Minister, which old man is it?"
Cao Cao: “…”
Idiot!
"Of course it's that treacherous old bastard Sima Yi, could it be me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Chu drew his sword and charged forward.
"Wait, you idiot, spare his life!"
Seeing that this fool was about to chop off his head, Cao Cao quickly rebuked him.
"what?"
Xu Chu sheathed his sword in time and looked over with a puzzled expression.
"Everyone says he has ulterior motives, so why keep him around? I'll just chop him into mincemeat for the Prime Minister."
Cao Cao: “…”
If an ordinary person spoke to him like that, he would most likely be furious.
But when it comes to Xu Chu, that simpleton, he is obviously much more patient.
"The immortals have not yet taken stock; killing him now would not be convincing to the people."
"Besides, if he were really as those people said, he shouldn't have died so easily!"
If we're talking about what Cao Cao learned from the immortals' inventory, what impressed him most was probably the wide variety of punishments.
"Understood. Then, Prime Minister, where should I put him?"
Xu Chu nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Just throw him back to his own home. When the immortals begin their inventory, I'll see just how capable Sima Yi really is, and how long he can survive!"
"I'll say it again: whoever releases them without permission will have to go and meet them with their entire clan!"
