Sima Jue was not having an easy time either. He had to deal with his elder brother's unreasonable demands and countless other things. Although he was very smart, he felt like Alexander. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the emperor, but the emperor seemed to be focused on having fun in the harem.
His father could no longer move, only his eyeballs could move, and he had no way of getting any advice from him.
Fortunately, the emperor still sided with the Sima family. The next day, during court, the emperor lavishly rewarded a number of Sima family nephews and nieces. The Sima family was in its heyday, except for the eldest brother who was still stirring up trouble. However, he wouldn't be able to keep doing this for long. Now that he controlled the entire government, what good was he to have military power? Wouldn't his soldiers need food?
Sima Cheng in his sister's palace was looking at Sima Ying with a serious face. He had never known before that his sister understood politics better than him.
"Brother, you can't use the military tactics in the court. The court has its own rules. If you send people to mess around like this, be careful that someone will impeach you."
Sima Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Impeach me? I'm a general! I have a million soldiers under my command! Why would the second brother touch me?" He stood up and walked around. "If you push me too far, I'll go to the northwest and raise an army!"
"Brother!" Sima Ying was a little panicked. She looked at Fang Zhiyi who was not far away.
Sima Cheng just glanced at him. He didn't care about this puppet emperor at all. At least Fang Zhiyi was not a threat to him: "Don't worry, my emperor's brother-in-law is still my brother-in-law, you are still the queen, and I will still be my general!"
"Do you really want to fight to the death with my second brother?" Sima Ying asked.
Sima Cheng waved his hand: "You are a woman, you don't understand."
"If that's the case, I do have an idea, but..." Sima Ying turned to look at Fang Zhiyi, who was not far away, "I need the emperor's help."
The next day at court, Fang Zhiyi felt the oppressive atmosphere as soon as he sat down. Sima Cheng was standing in front, but there were few people around him, while Sima Jue was at ease.
"If you don't use your brain, you'll suffer." Fang Zhiyi sighed secretly, then said, "I'm sure you all know that my teacher, my father-in-law, is Sima Ci. He worked hard all his life and actually had a stroke!"
"I have decided to make Sima Ci a king of a different surname!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked, and the first one to step forward was Sima Jue.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!" He knew clearly that the Sima family was determined to rule the world, not just accept a prince of a different surname. If he accepted this title, he would have nothing to do with the world in the future!
"Ah?" Fang Zhiyi was stunned.
"Bah, you little bastard." Sima Cheng stepped forward to assist, "The Emperor has bestowed upon a king a different surname. This is unprecedented in our dynasty. How dare you refuse to obey me? What are your intentions?"
Sima Jue was furious. He used to know that this elder brother was stupid, but now it seems that he is not stupid, but stupid!
Sima Jue gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the Sima family only wants to assist Your Majesty with all their strength. We don't want to be a king of a different surname. If this gets out, people all over the world will criticize us. I don't think my father would be willing to accept it."
Your father is paralyzed! And you still bring it up to threaten me! Fang Zhiyi screamed in his heart, but his face was full of hesitation. After a moment, he said: "Then...then..." His eyes fell on Sima Cheng, and Sima Cheng squinted his eyes.
"Yes, the general returned victorious a few days ago. I have decided to promote Sima to become the Grand Sima of this dynasty! Ranked among the top three!"
