Great Wei Nengchen

Frightened by the iron fist of the traitor, the gentry tyrants have restrained themselves, and they dare not openly support the dead, but they still recruit retainers, servants, and servants in private, just changing the soup without changing the medicine!

"My Sima family has been loyal and good for generations, and has absolutely no intention of rebelling against the country. However, it is reasonable and reasonable to raise some disciples to look after the home. However, we must be cautious in this matter to avoid unnecessary troubles, understand? ?”

"promise!"

Sima Fang pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed with his second son's proposal. During the recent political struggles, the reason why Sima was always passive was because he had no military power in his hands, his waist was not straight, and he had no confidence in his speech!

Three thousand private soldiers are not too many, and attacking cities and lands is definitely not enough, but an assassination, or a coup d'etat is enough, because coups often happen inside Xiaoqiang, and thousands of troops are not needed. (later Helu) To get rid of King Liao of Wu, only one assassin and a fish-gut sword were used!

"How do you explain the word Shi?"

"Reporting to my father: The Xiao family, the Cao family, and the gentry are three pillars, and our gentry is not weak. The reason why we are controlled by others is because the interior is torn apart and did not form a whole!

During the recent period, please elder brother and third younger brother secretly contact the patriarchs of various sects, so that everyone can unite and help each other, so that if you advance, you can control the world, and if you retreat, you will be safe! "

While speaking, Sima Yi took out a piece of paper from his bosom, handed it to his father, and passed it on to other brothers. On it was a list of some families:

Yingchuan-Chen family (Chen Qun family), Xun family (Xun You, Xun Yu family).

Chen Jun-Yuan's family and Xie family's (later dressed in Nandu, these two were the top families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty).

Long Kang-Huan family (the famous Huan Fan and Huan Wen came from this family).

Langya-Wang Clan (the four top clans in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the heads of Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao).

Taishan-Yang's family (Yang Hu, the famous founder of the Western Jin Dynasty and the founder of Wu Wu, came from this family).

Plain - Fahrenheit (Hua Xin family).

There are also Hebei Lu's, Qinghe Cui's, Taiyuan Wang's, Hongnong Yang's, Jingzhao Wei's, Hedong Wei's, Pei's, Jia's, Liu's, Xue's... a total of 32!

These are top gentry families with profound background and great influence. Their children are spread all over the court and the public. If they can unite, their power will be enough to change the world. And after this is done, the Sima family, as the initiator of the alliance, will definitely play the role of the leader of the gentry. It belongs to the gentry group, that is, the Sima family.

"That's right, this matter should be dealt with quickly, what's the meaning of marriage?"

"Among the three parties, the Xiao family is the strongest, while the Cao family and the Sima family are weaker. The way for the weak to survive is to form an alliance and resist the strong!"

"Zhongda is saying that my Sima family is married to the Cao family?"

"Hehe, today's treacherous plotters, I am also wary of our Sima family. I am afraid that it will not be easy to marry the Cao family, so we should take the next best thing, marrying the Xiahou family is more appropriate!"

While speaking, Sima Yi took out another large sheet of paper, which was densely packed with people's names, and it was the family tree of Cao and Xiahou!

And under each name, the official position, title, character, ability, and important points are also commented. There are also red lines drawn between the names to clearly describe the relationship between them. The criss-crossing is like a spider's web. Great effort!

"Father, please look here. The original general who conquered the West - Xia Houyuan was killed in Hanzhong. His eldest son Xia Houheng and his second son Xia Houba also died together. Therefore, his title of Marquis of Bochang Township and more than 6000 households in Shiyi were given by his third son. Xiahou said he inherited.

Xia Hou said that his courtesy name is Uncle Quan, he has a strong personality, is skilled in bowing horses, and has good speech and manners. When he was 16 years old, he encountered a tiger while hunting in the field. Appreciate this son, and canonize him as the captain of Fengche, which has a great meaning of training and reuse!

Xia Hou said that he is 17 years old this year and has not yet married a wife. If his father is willing to cut off his love and marry him with his younger sister, wouldn't it be a match made in heaven? "

When Sima Fang was 54 years old, he got a daughter named Sima Liangmiao. She was only 16 years old this year.

Because she is an only daughter, Sima Fang regards her as a jewel in the palm of her hand, and her eight older brothers also love her a lot. After the age of 14, countless sons of noble families came to ask for marriage, but Sima Fang did not agree. He hoped to keep his daughter for a few more years. , can't help being surprised?

"Liang Miao is still young, is it better to choose a son-in-law for her after a few years?"

Sima Fang pondered for a long time, and his old face was full of reluctance and intolerance. In fact, there were regulations in the Han and Wei Dynasties: "A woman who is 15 years old and above can marry a husband and have children. If she is more than [-] to [-], she will be counted as five!" '

Five calculations, that is, after the age of 15, if a girl does not marry, she will be fined to pay five times the tax every year until she gets married, or if she fails to marry at the age of 30!

The youngest daughter is already 16 years old, but Sima Fang said that she is young, which shows that it is not because the daughter cannot marry, but because Sima Fang is very clear that this is a political marriage. Otherwise, the daughter will become a political victim, and this possibility is very high!

"Father, there is no need to worry too much. Xia Hou is called a young hero and has a bright future. Liang Miao will not feel wronged if she marries him, and after marriage, she will settle in the capital, so she can often come back to visit you!

In addition, Anbei General Xia Houshang married Cao Zhen’s younger sister, the village owner of Deyang. The couple had a son Xia Houxuan who was ten years old this year, and a daughter Xia Houhui who was eight years old this year. They were smart, lively and lovely!

The son is going to send someone to bring a heavy gift to the Anbei General's mansion to protect the matchmaker, so that Shi'er and Xia Houhui can make a baby kiss!

Marrying a daughter in this way, marrying a daughter, our Sima family, Xiahou, and Cao's family will become in-laws, breaking the bones and tendons, and we can join hands to fight against the Xiao family.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Sima Yi persuaded him patiently. Xiahou said that he would be a general in the army in the future. If he became his son-in-law, then following this clue, Sima's children would be able to infiltrate the army and grasp some of them. military power!

As for the marriage of the eldest son, Sima Shi, it was a wonderful move by Sima Yi. His father is old and frail, and I am afraid that he will not have many days left. , but it is none other than myself.

And whoever becomes the Patriarch of the Sima Clan will be the leader of the gentry group and have the chance to win the world!

"Okay, only Liang Miao is wronged!"

Sima Fang pondered for a long time, and finally nodded his agreement. Although his daughter is a treasure, but compared with Sima's great achievements, it becomes insignificant!

"The last word to learn, presumably is Zhengming Academy?"

"As my father said, it is Zhengming Academy!"

Chapter 1650 The Disappearing Contending Academy!

Zhengming School is the number one school in the world. It covers a vast area and has complete facilities. It integrates Confucianism, Law, Mohism, Taoism, Buddhism, military, medicine, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal, novels... various schools of thought, and it gathers wisdom and learning from all over the world. By teaching young people, a large number of talents are cultivated every year, and countless novelties are invented!

Whether it is good for farming, or good for the people's livelihood, or used in the battlefield, they all play a huge role. The Caoying Group can rise rapidly in troubled times. One of the important reasons is to compete for schools. It is also a contending school, which shows how valuable it is.

Before Cao Pi issued an imperial decree, he named Sima Fang as Taifu, Sima Xun as Taishi, and Sima Jin as Taizhu. The three fathers and sons participated in the management of Zhengming Academy, so as to provoke the two major cliques of the Xiao family and the gentry to fight, so that the Cao family could sit back. Fisherman's profit!

Sima and his son accepted the appointment, went to Zhengming Academy for detailed investigation, learned about the great value of this institution, and developed the ambition to take it for themselves. Those who touch the scale will die!

Therefore, although Sima and his son have the name of management, they have never dared to implement the reality of management, for fear of attracting Xiao's crazy revenge. This feeling of not being able to eat is not to mention how uncomfortable it is, just like an otaku who has been single for half his life , and finally married a beautiful daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that she is wearing colorful poisonous thorns... Hehe!

It's all right now, Xiao Yi led his army to expedition to Hanzhong, and went to a showdown with Zhuge Liang, and he probably won't be able to return for a year or so, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Sima and his son decided to attack Zhengming Academy.

When a new official takes office, he must not be sloppy, and must choose a good day. Sima and his son looked through the almanac repeatedly, and finally chose six days later, that is, the first year of Huang Chu, to take office on June 28!

For one thing, taking over the school is a big event, and it is even more difficult. It is bound to encounter a lot of troubles. Take six days to prepare carefully, so that you can be prepared!

Second, Xiao Yi's men and horses moved very fast, and it is estimated that they will pass Tongguan in six days. When he knows that Zhengming Academy has been taken over by the Sima family, he will send people back to stop it. It will take at least half a month. By then, it will be too late. .

Three, June 28 is an auspicious day for traveling, going to office, enrolling in school, offering sacrifices... It seems to be a good day for new officials to take office, especially suitable for taking over a school!

However, Sima and his son overlooked one point. On June 28, avoid: asking for money! '

…………

Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of officially taking office has arrived!

On this day, Sima father and son got up early, after bathing and changing clothes, they first went to the ancestral hall to worship incense and pray for the protection of the ancestors, and then gathered a group of people to go out to take office.

"Da da da!"

The team that took office was quite large, with fifty cavalry leading the way in front of them, with gold and iron horses, showing off their might, and holding a couplet high:
