Chapter 766 Sima Lobbying

Outside the tent, the rain was still falling, and the dripping sound of water at the door could be clearly heard inside the tent.

Tang Tianshi looked at the hot tea on the table, with steam rising.

Recalling the journey from raising an army to forming an alliance, for the sake of that position, he resolutely chose to rebel even though he was criticized, and chose to kill his closest relatives. Conspiracies and intrigues were always around him, and he stepped on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He doesn't regret any of this, and he has never regretted it.

At this moment, the tent was lifted up and a damp and cool breeze blew in the face.

When he saw that the person coming was Luo Shixin, Tang Tianshi immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be Shixin. What do you want from me?"

Luo Shixin smiled on his honest face, wiped the rain off his face with his sleeve, and said, "My lord, there is a gentleman outside who wants to see you."

Tang Tianshi was stunned when he heard this, and then he said in surprise: "Oh, someone wants to see me, then Shi Xin, please call this gentleman in."

Luo Shixin nodded and ran away.

Soon, the curtain was lifted again, but the person who came this time made Tang Tianshi frown.

"Sir? Haha, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a person in the God's Punishment. I seem to have seen you before?"

Sima Yi gently pulled down his cloak, revealing his true face, and said calmly: "Your Highness is wrong. My name is Sima Yi. I joined the Divine Punishment only because of the situation. The Divine Punishment invaded the imperial capital and took control of Huangzhou. Everything I did was just to save my life."

Tang Tianshi suddenly found it interesting, so he said with a smile: "Then I wonder why you suddenly came to my place. I don't think I have any connection with you."

Sima Yi smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. In a sense, this is the first time I have met Your Highness."

"The reason why I came to the prince is, of course, to win a great credit. I wonder if the prince dares to give me the credit for following the dragon?"

Tang Tianshi found that he could not see through this person at all. Hearing this, he was a little surprised and said, "Sir, you want to surrender to me."

Sima Yi smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness may think so, but I will not take advantage of others for nothing. I come here with sincerity."

Tang Tianshi looked delighted, but his heart was very cold. He said, "Oh, I wonder what kind of sincerity you brought. I am very curious."

Sima Yi took out an imperial edict and said calmly, "Based on the imperial edict and the news of the crown prince's jade seal in my hand, I wonder if it can be considered sincerity?"

Hearing this, Tang Tianshi, who was sitting upright in his seat, instantly lost his composure, and even his breathing became rapid. He stared at the imperial edict and asked, "Sir, how could you have such a thing? Could it be fake?"

Sima Yi smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness should be aware of the incident a few months ago when the emperor attacked and killed an official. The emperor was the corpse of the emperor, who was manipulated by the divinely punished person and later recovered by me. The imperial edict was found on the corpse of the late emperor, along with the news of the crown prince's jade seal."

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't seem to be lying, Tang Tianshi decided to test him again.

So he said, "Based on your words alone, I still don't believe it. I wonder if you can let me see this imperial edict?"

Sima Yi's face darkened when he heard this. He then clasped his fists and said, "Since Your Majesty does not believe me, then I will regard what Sima Yi said today as a joke. I will take my leave."

After saying this, Sima Yi immediately turned around and prepared to leave without any reluctance.

This scared Tang Tianshi. After all, the opportunity he had been longing for was right in front of him. At this moment, he didn't care whether the news was true or not. He just wanted to keep the person first.

Because he could imagine that if he refused today, Sima Yi would find other people without hesitation. After all, the strength of the two of them was not to be underestimated. Naturally, he could not give up such an opportunity.

Inviting Sima Yi to the seat of honor, Tang Tianshi said, "Sir, I agree to the deal you mentioned. If you really help me ascend the throne and find the crown prince's jade seal as you said, then you will be my first meritorious minister. I will make you a marquis and prime minister, and you will enjoy eternal prosperity."

"It's just that I'm really unsure. Sir, could you please tell me the truth and let me take a look at the imperial edict?"

Sima Yi heard this and laughed, "Since Your Majesty agrees, to show my sincerity and for the smoothness of our transaction, I will let Your Majesty take a look."

Go ahead and put the imperial edict on the table and unfold it slowly.

Tang Tianshi, who was extremely excited and breathing heavily, slowly approached. Yes, yes, the imperial edict was real.

Content of the imperial edict: All the descendants of the Tang royal family must hold the imperial seal, destroy the divine punishment, avenge me, clear the world, and pacify the world before they can ascend the throne and become emperor. If they disobey the edict, they will be crowned kings and attacked together.

Skipping the content, Tang Tianshi looked towards the location where the seal was stamped. The bright red seal was so eye-catching.

Suddenly, Tang Tianshi's face turned from sunny to gloomy. He suddenly stepped to the side, drew out his sword, and pointed it at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi, on the other hand, sat upright, his face expressionless;

"Why, Your Highness wants to embezzle the imperial edict and is planning to kill me to silence me. Let me remind Your Highness that I am the only one in the world who knows the location of the imperial seal. If Your Highness kills me, you will never be able to ascend the throne."

Tang Tianshi snorted coldly, his face gloomy, and said: "You thief, you actually dared to deceive me, this imperial edict is clearly a fake, if the imperial edict was really written by Tang Tiansheng, why didn't he use the imperial seal instead of the crown prince's seal?"

Sima Yi said calmly, "I cannot answer your Highness about this matter, because I was also curious when I found the imperial edict, but after investigation, I have a guess."

Tang Tianshi said sternly: "Quick!"

Sima Yi looked at Tang Tianshi with his deep eyes, and saw his hesitation, so he patiently explained: "When I found the imperial edict on the emperor's body, Prime Minister Wei Yu had already taken over the emperor's government affairs for several months. Later, the divine punishment found that the emperor's jade seal was in Wei Yu's hands, and a fight broke out, which eventually led to the seal's whereabouts being unknown."

"Perhaps when Tang Tiansheng wrote this imperial edict, he had already given the imperial seal to Wei Yu for safekeeping, so he could only use the crown prince's seal as proof."

"Moreover, judging from the contents of the imperial edict, Tang Tiansheng has already discovered the Divine Punishment conspiracy and hates the Divine Punishment organization extremely. With his time running out, he left this imperial edict in the hope that future generations would avenge him. This also explains why this imperial edict was carried with him."

Hearing this, Tang Tianshi suddenly felt that it made sense, so he dropped the sword in his hand, smiled and clasped his fists to apologize, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, sir, please don't blame me, please don't blame me, I apologize here."

Sima Yi forgave Tang Tianshi and talked with him for a long time.

Finally, under Tang Tianshi's reluctant gaze, Sima Yi left in the rain with the imperial edict.
