    "Shuda, why don't you become an official?"

    Sima Yi doesn¡¯t want to cause trouble. Cao Cao is not easy to mess with. Sima Yi knows everything about his character.

    Don¡¯t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

    Cao Cao is moody. If Cao Cao gets angry with him, all these years of hard work will be in vain.

    "Brother, please feel at ease."

    Sima Fu said with confidence: "Cao Cao prides himself on being a polite and virtuous corporal, so there is nothing he can do about me. I have a bit of a reputation, but Cao Cao will give me some face."

    "What if the lord goes crazy?" Sima Yi asked.

    ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t believe me?¡±

    Sima Fu concluded: "Cao Cao doesn't know how, and he doesn't dare. He is not the King of Dongyang and does not have enough courage."

    "Why?" Sima Yi asked again, including the examination for his younger brother.

    If Sima Fu really had a corresponding strategy, Sima Yi would not interfere.

    "Brother, think carefully about how Cao Cao rose to power."

    Sima Fu elaborated: "Cao Cao was born in a noble family, whether he is from the Cao family or the Xiahou family, they are all big surnames. Without their support, Cao Cao would not have achieved what he is today. If he dared to take action against the family, how could he resist?  King Dongyang?"

    King Dongyang selected scholars through the imperial examination, which cut off the lifeblood of the family.  So they came to seek refuge with Cao Cao one after another and strengthened Cao Cao's power.

    For example, the Cui family of Qinghe was originally a wealthy family in Hebei, but they came to seek refuge with Cao Cao just for the sake of their family.

    Cao Cao was also good to the family, achieving a win-win situation.

    Therefore, Sima Fu believed that Cao Cao would not fail to see this.

    "I hope so."

    Sima Yi knew that his brother was very smart and independent, and whatever he said might not work.

    In this case, let him bump into it.

    Of course, the premise is that it does not endanger your own status.

    As expected, after just one day, Cao Cao could not bear it anymore and sent an imperial doctor to treat Sima Fu.

    Sima Fu was also a ruthless person. He immediately lay down on the bed, motionless, and honestly pretended to be sick.

    "Doctor, look at what disease my master has." The housekeeper said to the doctor very politely, "I am in pain every day. I can only take some medicine to relieve it. It is very difficult to get up by myself."

    The imperial doctor stepped forward to check his pulse and found that Sima Fu was indeed very weak.

    "It's just that he looked left and right, but couldn't see any clues at all. In the end, he could only timidly go back and report the truth to Cao Cao.

    "Are you too weak to get out of bed?"

    Cao Cao was so smart that he once again sent Cao Hong to spy.

    Cao Hong is so confused!

    The great general actually wants to do such a trivial matter.

    However, Cao Cao personally gave the order, and Cao Hong could not refuse.

    Under the guise of visiting, he sat in Sima Fu's room all morning and watched carefully.

    The servants of the Sima family changed several plates of fruit, but Cao Hong refused to leave.

    Sima Fu¡¯s patience and endurance were beyond the limit. He lay still for a long time without changing his position.

    I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so I asked my servants to help me.

    With such acting skills, Cao Hong couldn't see anything, so in the end he could only go back in despair and told Cao Cao that Sima Fu was not able to use his hands and feet, and he was probably really sick.

    Cao Cao was very puzzled, and he was half-convinced.

    He was busy with official duties, so he didn't bother to worry about it.

    After two days, Cao Cao handled government affairs seriously and did not mention recruiting Sima Fu again.

    Sima Yi felt relieved and set off for Jingzhou.

    I thought everything was calm, but a few days later, someone suddenly reported that Cao Zhi visited Sima Fu, and the two had a pleasant conversation.

    The laughter of the two people was heard frequently in the room.

    "What?"

    Cao Cao was furious and said: "Isn't Sima Fu sick? He still wants to talk about scriptures with my son. Does he take me seriously?"

    "Is it possible that the mighty King of Wei is not as good as his own son?"

    Sima Yi is not here, so we can¡¯t cause trouble to him.

    At that moment, Cao Cao sent someone to invite Sima Lang back from Luoyang and scolded him angrily.

    "I treat your Sima family well. Is this how you repay me?"

    "Boda, touch your conscience, and then touch your neck!"

    Sima Lang was frightened.So he returned home and told Sima Fu what had happened.

    As soon as Sima Fu thought about it, he understood the cause and effect of the matter and told Sima Lang.

    "Shuda, there is nothing wrong with my lord, and the court is not bad either. I hope you will consider it carefully, not only for yourself, but also for the sake of the family."

    "Brother, don't worry."

    Sima Fu was not worried and said: "I was really sick last time, and this time too. It's just talking about literature, it's not something that consumes physical energy. What can Cao Cao do to me?"

    The Sima family is a descendant of Chongli, the son of Gaoyang, namely Xia Guan Zhurong.

    From ancient times to the Shang Dynasty, the position of Xia Guan was inherited from generation to generation. In the Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guan was renamed Sima.

    During the reign of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor Cheng Boxiu and his father contributed greatly to the pacification of Xu Fang, so he gave Sima the family name.

    Sima Fu¡¯s twelfth generation ancestor Sima Yan followed Xiang Yu to destroy the Qin Dynasty, was granted the title of King of Yin, and established his capital in Hanoi.  During the Han Dynasty, it became Hanoi County, and the Sima family lived here for generations.

    Sima Fu¡¯s great-great-grandfather Sima Jun was the general who conquered the West during the reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, his great-grandfather Sima Liang was the prefect of Yuzhang, his grandfather Sima Jun was the prefect of Yingchuan, and his father Sima Fang was the prefect of Jingzhao Yin.

    Family background is prominent!

    Now the two brothers are Cao Cao's right-hand men.

    Does it mean that Cao Cao doesn¡¯t give him any face?

    "Brother, just say that my illness is not cured yet."

    Hearing his brother say this, Sima Lang felt uncomfortable.

    If Cao Cao doesn't get a satisfactory answer, he won't give up.

    But he could not force his younger brother to work for Cao Cao. If Sima Fu was dissatisfied and deliberately gave Cao Cao the consequences would be even more serious.

    Therefore, Sima Lang could only bite the bullet and report back to Cao Cao.

    This disease is difficult to treat!

    "Okay, I get it now."

    Cao Cao said honestly, but raised his eyebrows.

    ??Forgetting Sima Yi, a cunning person, how come Sima Lang, an honest man, is like this?

    What are these two brothers doing?

    Cao Cao stared at Sima Lang and said, "Your brother, you didn't avoid me on purpose, did you?"

    "I'm telling you, my lord, that my younger brother doesn't dare to serve the lord despite being sick, which is the greatest disrespect."

    Sima Lang said: "Actually, my brother has a passionate heart and has always wanted to serve the lord, but he is temporarily unable to do so. I hope the lord will forgive me."

    "Does he really think so?" Cao Cao stared at Sima Lang suspiciously.

    "Yes, that's absolutely true."

    Sima Lang felt that his lying skills were not very good, but he had to do it bravely.

    To take care of your younger brother¡¯s willfulness!

    He is now blaming Sima Yi to death, why not ask his third brother first before recommending him.

    It makes it difficult to get off the tiger.

    "Well, thank you for your hard work, Aiqing."

    As soon as Cao Cao saw Sima Lang's evasive expression, he knew he was lying.

    But according to his understanding, Sima Lang is an upright person and is not someone who easily regrets or lies.

    There must be something hidden in it.

    The Sima family has sent Sima Yi and Sima Lang to work for him, and Cao Cao should have been satisfied.

    But who would dislike the lack of talent?

    After Sima Lang left, Cao Cao touched his chin and became interested in Sima Fu.

    Since the Sima family wants to play a game, let¡¯s have a good time and see who is smarter.

    The little-known Sima Fu actually had the courage to refuse his solicitation over and over again.

    Cao Cao became curious.

    "Come here, prepare horses, not carriages, dress lightly and simply, I'm going to the Sima family." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
