As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent.
The position of Da Sima does exist, but it has been vacant for a long time.
First, there was no one worthy of this position. Second, since the Sima family took control of the government, the prime minister had been next to the emperor, and this name conflicted with the Sima family's surname, so this position had been vacant for a long time.
Sima Jue's mind was spinning rapidly, and his face was filled with uncertainty, but the next moment Sima Cheng took a step forward: "I accept your command and thank you!"
Sima Jue looked at the emperor sitting on the stage with a silly smile, and his father's face flashed through his mind.
"Did Dad make a mistake?" The position of Grand Marshal was a court official, ranking first among the Three Dukes. Honestly, it was half a level higher than his own, but this position was responsible for managing military administration and participating in wartime deployments, without commanding the troops! Or was it that Big Brother was trying to win over the Emperor and challenge him?
Sima Cheng was somewhat proud, this was the solution he discussed with his sister and the emperor's brother-in-law yesterday. Now we are all standing in the court, and I am half a level higher than you, I want to see how you are going to deal with me!
As for military power, Sima Cheng was not that stupid. He also held the position of general.
So, with the support of Fang Zhiyi and Sima Ying, Sima Cheng began to fight with his brother. The court officials also began to choose sides, and some fence-sitters successively switched to Sima Cheng's camp.
Feeling that his father was overjoyed, Sima Cheng began to understand why his father liked to stay in the court. This feeling of power was much better than working hard on the frontier.
However, after a long time, Sima Cheng became a little confused. The army needed to be patrolled and stationed, but he did not dare to leave, fearing that Sima Jue would gain power again once he left. So, at the suggestion of two people in the harem, he distributed the military power to several generals under his command, and turned around to concentrate on dealing with Sima Jue.
In the Queen's bedroom, Fang Zhiyi was leaning against a pillar and eating grapes.
Sima Ying looked up at him and said, "Your Majesty, I have done what you asked me to do. Can you promise me one thing?"
Fang Zhiyi didn't move: "You say."
"Let my two brothers go."
Fang Zhiyi smiled and said, "As for you, as long as they don't seek death, I won't touch them."
Fu Hai came in: "Zizi, the evidence has been delivered to Da Sima."
"Pay close attention."
Fu Hai took the order and left.
Sima Ying watched Fu Hai leave, then looked at Fang Zhiyi: "My father prided himself on being smart, but I never thought he would be considered a fool by the emperor."
Fang Zhiyi threw the grape peel in his hand and said, "It's nothing special, I'm just skilled at it." After saying that, he strode away.
Wang Zhong, who was sleeping with his wife in his arms, heard someone banging on the door outside. He quickly got up and grabbed his knife, and then a group of soldiers rushed in.
"What?"
A man walked in slowly, his hands behind his back. "What are you doing? Wang Zhong, you've deceived the emperor and exploited the people. Your scheme has been exposed."
Wang Zhong looked at Sima Cheng, a little stunned. "Big brother, do you want to hear what you are talking about? Deceiving the emperor and bullying the people? Isn't that all your Sima family's business?"
