Chapter 280 Sima Ba Da All Arrested? Su Yu and Xun Yu Jointly Sign a Petition
"Zhongda, this is a golden opportunity! Now that Lord Xun is here today, you should seize the moment and become his disciple!"
Su Yu spoke with great enthusiasm.
He even specifically addressed Xun Yu as "Lord Xun" instead of the usual "Wenruo".
Xun Yu lowered his head awkwardly. The feeling of doing bad things with Su Yu seemed to... give him a strange sense of pleasure!
No!
Xun Yu is a virtuous gentleman; how could he learn from someone like Su Yu, who is full of evil intentions?
Xun Yu then spoke righteously and solemnly:
“Young friend Zhongda, on behalf of the Ministry of Personnel, I, Xun, formally extend an invitation to you.”
Sima Yi could no longer control himself.
Xun Yu and Su Yu, two heavyweight figures, both invited him to join the Ministry of Personnel.
There are probably very few people in the world who have received this honor.
Sima Fang swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The situation has become completely different from what he expected.
Originally, according to Sima Fang's idea, recommending Sima Lang to Xun Yu would have been the optimal solution.
But now, Su Yu and Xun Yu have both extended invitations to Sima Yi, the second son.
If they refuse, they will offend both Su Yu and Xun Yu!
Having offended Su Yu and Xun Yu, Cao Cao, the only remaining one of the three major figures in Cao Cao's camp, can be considered to have been thoroughly offended!
After all, they didn't even give face to Su Yu and Xun Yu.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Cao Cao?
Even though Sima Fang was once Cao Cao's patron, that was ancient history.
This favor can protect the Sima family.
However, having offended Su Yu and Xun Yu, Sima Lang could forget about getting good resources in Cao Cao's camp!
If you're not treated unfairly, you can only be considered blessed by your ancestors!
Therefore, even if Si doesn't want to take office today, he has no choice but to do so.
This is different from the historical account of Cao Cao recruiting Sima Yi.
Because the Sima family later became emperors, they embellished this story to exaggerate how brilliant and capable Sima Yi was in his youth.
Many versions that have been passed down to later generations believe that Cao Cao valued Sima Yi, so he repeatedly sent people to recruit him, determined to obtain this great talent!
But the truth is...
Cao Cao's recruitment of Sima Yi was merely a "routine procedure"!
At that time, Sima Lang had been in Cao Cao's camp for several years and had become a high-ranking official, such as the Governor of Yanzhou.
Cao Cao's recruitment of Sima Yi was not just a recruitment of Sima Yi alone.
Instead, all young talents from prominent families within the territory who had not yet entered officialdom were recruited.
However, Sima Yi's first two claims of illness made him a target, and the third time he couldn't avoid it, angering Cao Cao and forcing him to take up a post.
For famous figures in the late Han Dynasty, building their own reputation was quite important.
For example, the most famous saying by Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, is "The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, if you can obtain one of them, you can obtain the world."
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were certainly capable, and very capable at that.
However, the saying "The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, possessing one is enough to conquer the world" clearly shows that Cao Cao did not take the major strategists in his camp seriously.
Who would have thought that such a group of talented people would appear in this chaotic world at the end of the Han Dynasty?
But at the moment.
This differs from Sima Yi's original historical refusal of Cao Cao, which was intended to create momentum for himself.
Su Yu and Xun Yu took the initiative to extend an olive branch; to refuse would be to offend them and disrespect them!
Looking into Su Yu and Xun Yu's serious eyes, Sima Yi immediately replied:
"It is an honor for Zhongda to receive the invitation from the Commandant of the Guards and Lord Lingjun."
"Zhongda is not talented, and only hopes not to cause trouble for you two in the future."
Su Yu waved his hands repeatedly:
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble, I won't cause any trouble."
"By the way, Zhongda."
"I'm thinking of giving you a nominal position in the Imperial Guard's Office, and having you work at the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat on a regular basis. What do you think?"
"Don't worry, your salary will be paid by the Imperial Guard, and it will be higher than the original salary from the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat!"
Upon hearing this, Sima Yi quickly cupped his hands in thanks to Su Yu for his high regard.
Although, a first-rate family like the Sima family did not value a small amount of salary.
But was what Su Yu gave him money?
It shows an attitude of appreciating young talent!
Who was the last person who was nominally registered in the Imperial Guard and then temporarily transferred to the Ministry of Personnel?
It seems to be Yang Xiu!
A mischievous glint rose in Su Yu's eye.
When Yang Xiu and Sima Yi, two oxen and horses, meet, the scene will definitely be very interesting!
At the same time, a hint of guilt flashed across Xun Yu's face.
But that feeling of guilt lasted only a fraction of a second before vanishing in an instant.
The person was tricked by that bastard Su Ziyi!
What does this have to do with me, Xun Wenruo?
Sima Fang watched helplessly as his second son was forced into official service, but he was powerless to stop it.
But does it end here?
Given Su Yu's style, this is just the beginning!
"Lord Sima, besides Zhongda, why not call out your other sons to meet us as well?"
A stiff smile flashed across Sima Fang's face.
Sima Yi's forced entry into officialdom disrupted his original plans.
He now had absolutely no idea what Su Yu's ulterior motives were!
But since Su Yu had already said all that, Sima Fang naturally couldn't leave without responding.
He had no choice but to order his servants to summon all of Sima's sons, from the third to the eighth.
Sima Fang was truly prolific.
Sima Lang, Sima Yi, and Sima Fu were Sima Fang's legitimate sons.
The remaining five sons were illegitimate sons.
But none of these eight sons were weak.
This is enough to show that Sima Fang was indeed "skilled in raising children".
The third son, Sima Fu, is sixteen years old this year.
The ages of the eighth to the fourth sons ranged from six to fifteen.
Children from prominent families were typically sent to receive their first education at the age of three.
The youngest of the Sima family, the eighth son, has already read quite a few books and can be considered somewhat learned.
"Master Sima, no wonder you were able to train such a great talent as Zhongda."
"Your other sons are also extraordinary."
"When they are of suitable age, let them all serve in my Cao Camp's Ministry of Personnel, how about that?"
"what???"
Sima Fang's eyes widened.
no……
This is practically taking over the entire Sima family, except for the eldest son, Sima Lang!
But... Sima Fang had other uses for his remaining sons.
How can we hand over everything to Cao Cao's camp at once?
However, Sima Fang overestimated Su Yu's "moral standards".
Does he have morals?
There might be some, but certainly not many.
Without Sima Fang saying much, all of the Sima family's sons, from the third to the eighth, received a "recruitment order" from the Ministry of Personnel!
The signature below is still a joint signature of Su Yu and Xun Yu.
In the spirit of humanitarianism, Su Yu arranged for the third to eighth sons of the Sima family to work at the Ministry of Personnel after they came of age.
However, the transfer order was issued ahead of schedule, making the matter a reality.
As for whether the Sima family will hold high positions of power in the future, or even usurp power.
Then we have to consider another issue!
What become of cattle and horses after their metamorphosis?
They're just high-ranking employees! They're not part of the core decision-making or management team, so what's there to be afraid of!
Besides, if Su Yu really lets the Sima family seize power, then he, as a transmigrator, can go back to his mother's womb and start over!
