Cao Shuang looked at Sun Zi, Liu Fang and others, thinking about what to do next.

Sun Zi winked and ordered him to go out quickly.

Cao Shuang was granted a general amnesty and left the hall in shame.

Cao Rui's eyes were a little blurred on the dragon collapse, and he felt that the whole world was a little illusory. Even the candlelight on the table was flashing and dark. In a trance, it seemed that he saw the figures of Taizu Cao Cao and the late emperor Cao Pi, either sternly or laughing, with different shapes.

In a trance, I saw a stunning woman slowly walking towards me with a kind and gentle smile on her face.

His lips trembled, and two lines of hot tears were already on his face. It was his biological mother, Queen Wen Zhaozhen...

Cao Rui subconsciously raised his hand and prepared to hold his mother's hand.

Sun Zi, who was serving on the side, thought His Majesty had some instructions, so he hurriedly held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, do you - do you have any instructions?"

This inquiry pulled his thinking back from his fantasy. Cao Rui's face was complicated and he said tremblingly: "I am thinking a little... Cao Shuang cannot bear the heavy responsibility, and he still needs to be Cao Yu as his clan relative. Only my Cao clan relative can be the minister of the government, and outsiders will not allow it."

Sun Zi was shocked and thought to himself that His Majesty had changed his mind again. He finally moved Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, and Cao Zhao out of the ranks of regents, and arranged Sima Yi in, but he could not repent to His Majesty. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the late emperor has established a ancestral system, and the vassal kings cannot be stationed as officials in Beijing or interfere in government affairs. Cao Yu is Your Majesty's uncle. You will not hesitate to destroy the ancestral system and make an exception to allow Cao Yu to station as an official in Beijing. This is fine, after all, it is the relationship between uncle and nephew. But if the state entrusts the orphans, completely choose the clan relatives and do not entrust the ministers, it may be difficult to convince the public."

Cao Rui's face turned purple, and he knew that it was not realistic to choose his clan as the ministers of the regent, but he was not so afraid that the Cao family would fall into the hands of others. At present, the two kingdoms of Wu and Shu have not been destroyed, and the Gongsun family in Liaodong were at large. If the ministers were not talented in using military force, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

As a veteran of the three dynasties, Sima Yi can be said to fight wherever there is war and win every battle, like a firefighting captain. Even if Cao Rui is worried and prepared, he has to appoint him. After the generals withered, the only one who can take the lead was Sima Yi.

Cao Rui remembered the former Situ Chen Jiao, who once asked Sima Yi whether he was a minister of the country. Chen Jiao's answer was quite meaningful: "The expectation of Sima Gong's court is unknown."

If a person can become a common hope for the people of the court, but cannot be a minister of the country, it will be very dangerous and in an unpredictable position.

Cao Rui thought to himself: "Sima Yi is almost sixty years old, and he has not had a few years to live. Although Cao Shuang is popular, she is not talented, but after all, she is young. After the royal family and the gentry have been fighting with the gentry for seven or eight years, Fang'er will grow up and be able to take charge of the Wei State."

Cao Rui nodded in pain: "What the Shizhong said is very true."

He sat up with a strong support, and the inner official walked forward with paper and pen. Cao Rui picked up the pen and dipped it ink, and his wrist could not use any strength. He said bitterly: "I am very tired and cannot write the edict."

Sun Zi quickly moved forward, held Cao Rui's right hand holding the pen in his hand, and spent about a cup of tea to write the edict together.

Cao Rui was tired and lay on the dragon's pond to rest. The inner officer brought warm soup and fed him a few sips. Cao Rui's lips and teeth were not crooked, and the soup he was fed overflowed, flowing all over his cheeks and clothes.

The inner official saw that His Majesty, who had served for many years, ended up like this, and couldn't help but feel sad and sobbed.

Sun Zi didn't care about the emperor's fault. He immediately rushed out of the hall with his edict in his hand, and struded his head to the side hall.

In the side hall, Cao Yu stood with his hands behind his back, followed by Xiahou Xian and Cao Zhao. Seeing Sun Zi coming in, he couldn't help but ask: "Shizhong, how are His Majesty's health now?"

Sun Zi sneered in his heart, raised the edict and unfolded it, saying, "The old minister got His Majesty's edict in his hands. Your Majesty's edict: The vassal kings are not allowed to be an official in Beijing or interfere in government affairs. Now, Cao Yu, Xiahou Xian, and Cao Zhao are ordered to leave the capital quickly and not to stay. The ministers of the regent shall be held by Cao Shuang and Sima Yi."

Cao Yu couldn't help but let out a "ah" softly. He was very imagining that he would become the Minister of the Governor, but His Majesty suddenly changed his mind and couldn't react for a moment, saying, "How could His Majesty draw such an imperial edict? I'm afraid this is wrong, right?"

Sun Zi closed the imperial edict and looked at Cao Yu and others with a pride in his heart: "King Yan, the intention of the Holy Lord is unpredictable, and this is the will of Your Majesty. Do you want to resist the imperial edict?"

Cao Yu was a vassal king and was close to the emperor's nephew, so he had to be an official in the court. Seeing Cao Rui was about to die, he was about to hand over the position of entrusting orphanage to his government, but at this time he changed the order of summoning. He had only been a "general" who had been in the past four days and was expelled from the capital. His eyes turned red and he said with a trembling voice: "I want to meet Your Majesty in person and clarify his confession."

“Bold!”

Sun Zi immediately changed his face, held up the imperial edict with both hands, and said angrily: "Your no joke, but you have to express it. Since Your Majesty has made an order, you don't respect the will. Do you want to be a minister who deceives the emperor and violates the superiors?"

Qin Lang knew that if he argued again at this time, it would cause unnecessary trouble. His Majesty confirmed that Cao Shuang and Sima Yi were the ministers who were entrusted with the orphanage, and at least the clan was one of them. It was useless to argue now. He immediately supported Cao Yu's arm and whispered: "King Yan, let's go first, let's go first, King Yan, let's make a long-term plan."

Cao Yu was cowardly and burst into tears. The three of them left the palace together.

Sun Zi looked at the three of them leaving and thought to himself: "This is how I can save my life."

Immediately summoned the attendant and said, "Immediately summon the Grand Marshal Sima Yi into the palace to meet the saint."

"yes."

The attendant immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, Sima Yi arrived in a hurry, exchanged a few greetings with Sun Zi, and frowned and said, "How is your Majesty's situation?"

Sun Zi stroked his beard and said, "The Grand Marshal can enter the palace. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time and will give you the position of entrusting the orphanage to assist in the government."

Sima Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "How can Yi be a minister who is entrusted with the orphanage? Yi is old and stupid. This is a lot of capable people in the court. Why do you need a person like me who is about to die?"

Sun Zi smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that we have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, so he should not pretend to each other. He said seriously: "What did the Taiwei say? You are a minister of the country. If you talk about it later, you will enter the palace first."

Sima Yi was well aware of the way of being an official. He knew that he had been selected as the minister who was entrusted with orphans. The other person must be a clan relative. He guessed that it might be Cao Yu and others, but as soon as he entered the palace, he saw Cao Yu crying and leaving the palace, and he felt very suspicious: "What's going on?"

He immediately nodded to Sun Zi, and walked into the bedroom with his head down.

As soon as Sima Yi entered the bedroom, he saw Cao Rui, who was once a vibrant person, lying on the dragon bed with a breath of dying. A child was lying on the edge of the bed, looking only seven or eight years old, but the prince Cao Fang was lying in Cao Rui's arms and crying.

He hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi, pay a visit."
