Sima Yi went to see Tang Ji late at night. Basically no one knew what the two said, but when they went to court the next morning, something happened.
Tang Ji and the Emperor were listening to the memorials of some ministers. Cao Mengde was also beside him. Cao Mengde said: "Now Xiliang Ma Teng has 300,000 troops, which is already a very huge threat to our Central Plains. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, I have prepared a memorial, shall I ask Lord Sima to announce it?"
A chill appeared in Tang Ji's eyes. The chill first appeared when she was killing Jia Xu. She said lightly: "For such a thing, the Prime Minister can just ask Lord Sima to announce it. The Ai family will agree."
"Yes!" Cao Mengde laughed loudly and immediately waved to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi directly opened the imperial edict in front of all the civil and military officials: "Heaven's destiny, the emperor's edict, saying: In the past, Dong Zhuo harmed one party and brought trouble to the court. Today, Cao Mengde coerces the emperor to order the princes. It is really an act of disobedience. The purpose is to kill the thief! Kill Cao Mengde!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Mengde's face turned aside: "Sima Yi, what are you going to do? Do you want to rebel?!"
Sima Yi sneered: "You are the one who rebelled, come here! Kill the traitor Cao!"
As soon as these words were spoken, countless soldiers appeared around, but at this moment, a spider man suddenly hung from the ceiling, holding a short knife in his mouth, approaching Cao Mengde.
Cao Mengde exclaimed: "Where is Xu Zhu? Xu Zhu!"
Xu Zhu and Zhang He hurriedly came to protect the armor, but the assassin on the ceiling jumped towards Cao Mengde like a god descending from heaven. Cao Mengde pointed at the intruder angrily: "Who are you?"
The visitor's face turned cold and he shouted angrily: "Jing Ke's descendants, Jing Wuming!"
With that said, the sword flashed and stabbed Cao Mengde. Xu Zhu and Zhang He beside Cao Mengde went to defend the soldiers on both sides. How could they still defend against Jing Wuming who suddenly jumped down from the ceiling
And all this, Sima Yi has always been watching, because he knows that this Jing Wuming is not actually a descendant of Jing Ke, but Jing Ke himself. He was just summoned before the current time, so he was forced to change his name.
As for the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, none of them were weak. Sima Yi summoned Jing Ke, the King of Assassins, in his first peerless summons, and he was quite satisfied.
Each of the four assassins, Jing Ke, Yao Li, Zhuan Zhu, and Nie Zheng, are all impressive. Among them, Jing Ke has always been called the leader of the four assassins. I think back when Jing Ke traveled around the world and met many heroes and lofty ideals, the best among them was, It was Gao Jianli who was good at building in Yan State.
At that time, General Wang Jian of the State of Qin had just defeated the State of Zhao. Prince Dan of the State of Yan, who was being held hostage by the State of Qin, also fled back to the country. He also took in the General of the State of Qin, Fan Yuqi, who was absconding in fear of crime. He was afraid that the King of Qin would attack his country, and he was afraid that the King of Qin would attack his country. He would send someone to kill him, so he wanted to assassinate King Qin.
He first found Tian Guang and treated him with great courtesy. Tian Guang was very talented, but he was already old and was afraid that he would not be able to take on big responsibilities, so he recommended Jing Ke to Prince Dan.
Jing Ke accepted the order and took Fan Yuqi's head and the map of Dukang of Yan State to see the King of Qin, and the King of Qin indeed received him. Jing Ke hid the poisoned dagger in the map. He showed the map to the King of Qin. At the end of the map, the dagger was revealed, which is called "seeing the dagger in the poor map".
The King of Qin was frightened and fled away in panic. After another fight, Jing Ke was outnumbered and defeated, and was killed by Qin's courtiers.
However, this move set an example for the righteous people in the world, who is not afraid of power, so what if he is the King of Qin? Wasn't he forced by Jing Ke to "circle the pillars of King Qin"
At that time, the assassination of Qin failed because the King of Qin walked around the pillar and dodged Jing Ke's most dangerous stab. The King of Qin himself also used his force to kill Jing Ke with his backhand. But now there is no pillar around Cao Mengde, and Jing Ke has never been able to do it. Going up and down, killing with one move, he directly thrust the long sword into Cao Mengde's Zenith point, and the sword tip emerged from Cao Mengde's chin.
Cao Mengde was killed on the spot before he even had time to scream!
Everyone was shocked, but Sima Yi knelt directly in front of Tang Ji: "Long live the man!"
As soon as Cao Mengde died, the north immediately fell into war. However, Sima Yi had been preparing for this move for several years. He thought that when he got rid of Guo Jia and other capable ministers, he was just to get rid of all Cao Mengde's confidants. Can you still make suggestions for Cao Mengde
In addition, Sima Yi did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to summon the Seven Tigers of the Yang Clan for military power. Once Cao Mengde died, the Seven Tigers of the Yang Clan took the opportunity to seize the military symbols of Cao Mengde's men. Those who surrendered were directly collected, while those who refused to surrender were After being killed by Sima Yi's random arrows, Cao Mengde's men fled and scattered.
After cleaning up the military affairs, Sima Yi came to the main hall: "The Queen Mother, there are now more than 300 people in the Cao family, including seven of Cao Mengde's children, fourteen wives and concubines, and countless family members, relatives, etc. , how can I express my regret?"
The Empress Dowager Tang's eyes were cold and she said slowly: "After the traitor, how can we stay? They will all be trapped and killed..."
"yes!"
Sima Yi was about to turn around and leave when suddenly the Empress Dowager Tang stopped him: "Wait a minute!"
Sima Yi secretly laughed in his heart. After all, he was a womanly person, so he must not be willing to kill anyone and wanted to be kind to women.
Without thinking, the Empress Dowager Tang directly asked: "How many people are there in Cao Mengde's three tribes? How many people are there in his nine tribes?"
"There are 312 people in our clan, and there are 1,083 people in the three clans. If the nine clans are included, there are 8,396 people." Sima Yi said.
The Empress Dowager Tang's eyes were indifferent: "Destroy the nine tribes, cut the grass without eradicating the roots, and grow again with the spring breeze. No one who threatens our Han Dynasty will be left alive!"
Sima Yi shuddered when he said these words. His scalp was numb when he heard this. These are more than 8,000 people, more than 8,000 living people. These are not more than 8,000 sheep or more than 8,000 dogs. This is not There are so many people, can we just kill them
Sima Yi's lips trembled, but he still said respectfully: "Yes!"
Sima Yi felt that he could not underestimate this woman. Although this woman had very few roles in history, she was also a woman of extraordinary wisdom. Otherwise, how could she have a good death in the end? It must be known that her husband and family members were all dead, but she was the only one who lived to old age and died a good death.
Tang Ji looked at Sima Yi's back in the distance. Her hands tightened and she murmured, "Is it another Jia Xu..."
These words may seem innocuous, but if an insider knew about it, they would probably break out in a cold sweat. After all, this is not the first time Tang Ji's determination has been shown to others.
