The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"Heh, King Wei, at a time like this, why have you summoned me?"

After being splashed with cold water and woken up, Sima Shi opened his eyes and saw Boss Cao, and immediately sneered.

He had no resentment.

He knew that although he was going to die, in another period of time, he would lead the Sima family to the throne.

He has nothing to regret.

"You should be able to see the movements on the sky from inside the prison, right?"

"Tell me, if you were in that situation, what would you do?"

"If what you've said satisfies me, I'll give you two brothers a quick death."

It's impossible to survive, but at least we can suffer less.

Otherwise, given Boss Cao's temperament, he would have tormented him for quite some time.

"What if I don't tell you?"

Sima Shi didn't even look at him, but instead took a deep look at the scene in the sky.

Xu Chu used their house as their prison, so the sky could indeed be seen from inside the house.

But looking through a window is never as direct as seeing it this way.

"There's no need for me to give you a quick answer. Just let me watch this challenge unfold here, and I'll answer whatever you want."

Whether it was pleasant or not, Sima Shi didn't really care that much.

Since everyone is going to die anyway, and the outcome is the same, what difference does it make if the process is changed?

His father, Sima Yi, still wanted to maintain a certain level of dignity, but Sima Yi himself had little reputation and no need to care about dignity.

Taking advantage of this last chance, he wanted to experience the atmosphere of the outside world a little more.

"No problem, approved!"

Mr. Cao nodded without hesitation.

"Now you can tell me, right? If you were in this situation, what would you do?"

"What would I do? Now that I've made up my mind, why would I stop over something so trivial?"

"Prime Minister, if you are determined to usurp the throne, will you back down because of the opposition from the officials in the court? What conditions will you negotiate with them?"

Sima Shi smiled.

His laughter was morbid.

He felt that neither Liu Bang in the celestial canopy nor the emperors of the various dynasties outside the canopy truly understood him.

Only he himself could guess what he would do.

Will the information leaks stop temporarily?

If it were only Sima Zhao, he might have hesitated and made indecisive decisions due to these considerations.

But who is he?

He is Sima Shi!

If you were to judge him using the common sense of ordinary people, you would be making a big mistake!

"What did you say?"

Boss Cao was shocked.

He never expected to hear a third answer from Sima Shi!

"You mean, after you find out the information has been leaked, you will still take action?"

"Aren't you afraid that the powerful clans in the capital will get wind of this in advance and send their members out early?"

"You should know that you, in this challenge, do not have this perspective and will not know the Emperor's plans!"

His three consecutive bullet comments appearing on the screen made countless people fall into deep thought.

Anyone with eyes can see who he's talking to.

But it is precisely because we understand that it is even harder for others to comprehend.

Faced with the possibility that the information had already been leaked, why didn't they choose to pull back from the brink and instead went ahead with it anyway?

Is Iron-Headed Kid still alive?

Faced with Cao Cao's questioning, Sima Shi simply smiled dismissively.

Although he was very weak, a ruthless glint could still be seen in his eyes.

"What good would it do if they escaped?"

"If we can kill everyone in the capital when we make our move, that would be the best. If not, it's alright."

"Now that I've taken this step, why should I worry about anything else?"

“Prime Minister, back then, the power I wielded was almost the same as yours now, or even greater.”

"After all, Emperor Xian of Han still has many loyal ministers around him, but at that time, the young emperor would have no one by his side."

Sima Shi laughed.

Mr. Cao gritted his teeth as he listened; it was practically an insult directed at his nose.

Those who criticize him say that the Great Wei is far inferior to the Great Han!

"So what? Once you resort to violence, it's tantamount to leading your Sima family down a path of no return. Every step from here on will be a bloody struggle."

"All the powerful clans and aristocratic families in the world will stand against your Sima family!"

"Don't you consider these consequences at all?"

He was an enemy of the whole world, and an enemy of all the gentry and noble families.

Even Mr. Cao himself might not be willing to face such a situation now.

Although the Sima family, which was facing challenges, was more powerful, they had not yet managed to conquer Shu and pacify Eastern Wu.

There is no real difference between the two!

But Sima Shi stopped responding.

He simply smiled dismissively and turned to look at the sky.

He seemed too lazy to explain further and wanted to leave everything to the heavens to verify his statement.

And indeed, the facts have proven this.

Ultimately, the person who understands him best in this world is himself.

The scene then shifts to the Sima residence.

Sima Zhao rushed back.

"Brother, something terrible has happened! That scoundrel Zhen De has actually informed the Empress Dowager of the movements of the city defense troops and the imperial guards!"

"And that idiot didn't even know he was keeping it a secret. Now, some palace maids may have already leaked the news. What should we do now?"

Although he was equally capable, Sima Zhao still preferred to listen to his elder brother when faced with such a major matter.

"Zhen De?"

"How could such a coincidence happen?"

Sima Shi's face also darkened instantly.

But while he was angry, he was clearly thinking more deeply than Sima Zhao.

He never believed in coincidences.

Every coincidence must be mixed with a human conspiracy!

Even if Zhen De were to tell his sister about this, it shouldn't have happened so soon!

With so little time now, he barely has enough time to make arrangements for the Imperial Guards. Would he be such a proactive person?

joke!

"Brother, do you mean someone is plotting against our Sima family behind our backs?"

Upon discerning the hidden meaning in Sima Shi's words, Sima Zhao's expression instantly turned sinister.

Looking across the entire capital, who would dare to have such audacity!

“Ordinary aristocratic families wouldn’t have this kind of courage.”

"Moreover, we haven't truly rejected Wang Xiang yet, nor have we truly broken ties, so they didn't expect this."

"Sir, is there a traitor among our people, or is someone watching us all the time? Which do you prefer to believe?"

A traitor has emerged?

Sima Zhao immediately ruled out this possibility.

The two useless brothers of the Guo family had long been inseparable from the Sima family, and Jia Chong was his confidant.

Are we to make him believe that there are traitors among the city's defense forces, who were once loyal followers of the Sima family?

This is impossible!

"You also think it's impossible for there to be a traitor, right?"

"Then there's only one explanation left."

"Someone has their eyes on the Sima family!"

"Judging from the current situation, my guess was almost correct; there really is a dark hand behind this whole thing!"

"Moreover, his goal from the very beginning was not to be granted land and become a king, but to deal with my Sima family!"
