At this moment, in Xuchang City.
During this period of time, when Cao Cao was not in the city, all the nobles in Xuchang City seemed to be on vacation. They all relaxed quite a bit.
Sima Yi was lying quietly on the armchair, basking in the sunlight.
Sima Yi had been at home for a long time, unwilling to go out.
He did not even go out to buy things or check on his family's property.
Such matters were all handed over to the young Sima Zhao and Sima Shi.
At this moment, Zhang Chunhua walked out with a frown.
"Zhong Da, you should go out more. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to take it."
"If I don't go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in the future!"
Zhang Chunhua's voice was a little reproachful, but she had no choice.
If she did not force Sima Yi to go out and walk, his limbs would degenerate.
Sima Yi smiled faintly.
"Isn't it good that I don't know how to walk?"
"When the Wei Emperor asks me to become an official, I won't have to refuse."
Zhang Chunhua shook her head.
"I really can't see through you. Why don't you become an official?"
"You stay at home reading books and asking around for information. My son is dying of exhaustion because of you."
"You, on the other hand, are always at home like a big boss."
Sima Yi smiled faintly and did not answer.
At this moment, Sima Shi suddenly rushed back and said while panting.
"Father, father …"
Sima Yi opened his eyes and straightened his body.
"What did you find?"
Sima Shi said with a joyful expression.
"Father, it's fine if we don't investigate, but once we do, there's really something fishy!"
"The Yang Family where Yang Xiu is from, their guards are actually from Yamatai!"
Sima Yi frowned when he heard that.
"Did you find out?"
Sima Shi drank a mouthful of water.
"It's absolutely true!"
"I ordered someone to pretend to be drunk and barge into the Yang Residence, but was chased out by that group of people. That person took advantage of the chaos to rip off the guard's clothes."
"There's the Yamatai Queen's mark on it!"
Zhang Chunhua was dumbfounded.
"The Queen's mark?"
"What's that?"
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"The Queen's mark is a unique mark."
"Queen, the Queen of the Yamatai people, Mimihu."
"The people of Yamatai are extremely respectful towards the Queen, and many of the children of the nobles of Yamatai would have the word 'Mi' written on their bodies after they are born."
"This is a sign of loyalty to the Queen."
Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but gasp.
"What? He was just born … "
"Are these Yamatai people all perverts?!"
As a mother, although Zhang Chunhua was sometimes cold-blooded and heartless, she still loved her son very much.
Who would be willing to do that?
However, this was the bloody truth.
Sima Shi pursed his lips and said,
"Father, there's something I don't understand."
"Why is father so certain that there is something fishy going on with the Yang Family, and that you want me to use this method to investigate?"
Sima Yi waved his fan and said slowly,
"That Yang family has frequent business dealings and is very close to the people of Yamatai."
"But Wei Emperor had decreed that trade or marriage with any other race was strictly forbidden. That was why they cut off this trade route."
"However, this doesn't mean that they will completely cut off all ties with the people of Yamatai."
"The people of Yamatai need many things from the Yang Family, and the Yang Family also needs the women and money from the people of Yamatai."
"This is a good deal, and they will definitely continue with it."
"Furthermore, the people of Yamatai have been groomed from a young age, and they are known as ninjas. Their assassination skills are exceptionally good."
"Previously, when Jiang Wei was assassinated, I suspected that it was done by the ninjas."
"Now that I look at it, it is indeed true …"
"Wei Emperor hates the other races so much, if he knows that there are many people of Yamatai in Xuchang City, and they are the nobles of Yamatai, the top ninjas."
"I wonder what Wei Emperor would think …"
Sima Shi laughed out loud when he heard that.
"Father is still the best!"
"Do you want me to write a memorial on a piece of paper?
Tell Wei Emperor about this? "
"When that time comes, the Yang Family will fall!"
"Without the help of the Yang Family, Yang Xiu will not be able to do anything for Cao Zhi."
"When that time comes, whether we assist Young Master Cao Pi or Bai Feng, it will be a good thing!"
"Furthermore, Bai Feng might even have a good impression of the Sima Family because of this!"
Thinking about it this way, it was indeed a good thing with no downsides!
One must know that Wei Emperor's hatred for the other races had only deepened after the extermination of the Xiongnu people.
Even though the people of Yamatai were not much of a threat, the Yang Family had trained ninjas who were proficient in killing!
Who could be sure what the Yang Family was thinking?
What if they were planning to assassinate Wei Emperor?
If that was the case, the Yang Family would definitely be finished!
Without a strong competitor like the Yang Family, the Sima Family would be able to rise to power!
"No."
At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly spoke up.
Sima Shi asked in confusion.
"Father, why not?"
"This is a good thing for the Sima Family!"
"If we miss this opportunity and the Yang Family is prepared, wouldn't we have wasted this great opportunity?"
Sima Yi shook his head.
"Because if we do that, the Yang Family will fall and the Sima Family will gradually become the dominant family."
"When that time comes, do you think that Wei Emperor will not make a move on the Sima Family?"
"Don't forget, Wei Emperor has always wanted to make a move on the landowning families!"
"What if one day, Wei Emperor feels that the time is right and makes a move on the Sima Family?"
"Wouldn't it be better to leave the Yang Family alone?"
Sima Shi could no longer sit still.
"But father, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
"If we can make Young Master Cao Zhi have no power to rely on, then we will be able to gain the support of Young Master Cao Pi and Bai Feng."
"With the support of the two of them, King Wei won't touch us, right?"
Sima Yi laughed bitterly.
"Shi 'er, you're thinking too little. If our Sima Family has both Cao Pi and Bai Feng extending an olive branch to us, then we will be in even more danger!"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Just the fact that we can make Young Master Cao Zhi have no power to rely on is enough for Wei Emperor to make a move on the Sima Family!"
"Think about it carefully. In the past, if a family dares to intentionally or unintentionally participate in a power struggle, what will happen to them?"
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Sima Shi was enlightened.
That's right, if a family were to participate in a power struggle, they would definitely end up in a terrible state!
This was also why his father was not willing to help Young Master Cao Pi and only met him in secret!
This way, regardless of whether Wei Emperor knew about it or not, he might not attack the Sima Family. His first target would be the Yang Family!
