Sima Bozhong, who was in the middle of the situation, seemed completely unaware of all this and continued to strictly adhere to the old tortoise strategy.
However, another action he took in private made everyone's eyelids twitch.
Hidden warriors were raised to die.
Powerful ministers are naturally the opposite of emperors.
Before Cao Luoshen was eliminated, he was on very good terms with the puppet emperor. Now that he has replaced Cao Luoshen, he has naturally become a thorn in the emperor's side.
Sima Bozhong had anticipated this.
Or rather, from the moment he took power, he had been planning and scheming for this moment.
"Usurpation is the final destination of the race of powerful ministers!"
Sima Bozhong silently mocked.
He could imagine what people outside would say about him. According to the tradition of his Sima family, although they did not care about such intangible things as face, he would be more than happy to slap those people in the face if he could.
The time has come. Sima Bozhong already holds military and political power, and now he has three thousand elite soldiers. If he were to launch an attack, the puppet emperor would be no match for him.
Sima Bozhong successfully changed dynasties!
A moment of silence fell over the hall.
No one expected the situation to take such a dramatic turn.
Li Tianguo clicked his tongue and said, "He's gone halfway down the path of a powerful minister and ended up as an emperor. How do we settle this now?"
Someone couldn't help but chime in: "Wouldn't you consider him a success? He's become an emperor. As long as the dynasty doesn't fall, future historians will definitely glorify him and call him the most successful powerful minister. That doesn't seem like an exaggeration, does it?"
Everyone looked at each other.
I initially thought the final race was pretty simple, at least the outcome was straightforward and easy to predict. But now it seems like it's incredibly brain-teasing.
At this moment, almost everyone had the same thought on their mind.
Can you still play like this?
Cao Luoshen sneered: "His dynasty will not fall? What ability does he have to guarantee that his dynasty will not fall?"
There is no dynasty that lasts forever; this is common knowledge.
If Sima Bozhong truly possessed such abilities, he would have already ended the Emperor track long ago. Why would he need to languish and embarrass himself in the Powerful Minister track?
Li Tianguo stroked his chin thoughtfully: "He's gambling. An undefeated record is a plus, and with the successful usurpation, his chances of ending the race are at least 60%."
Cao Luoshen did not refute, but still coldly uttered a remark.
"Just a clown."
At this moment, in the sand table, with Sima Bozhong's successful usurpation, the game has entered its final stage.
Zhuge Liang launched his sixth Northern Expedition.
Sima Bozhong, as always, fortified his defenses and prepared for battle.
This great battle gripped everyone's hearts, and the final result was as expected: the hope of Shu was gradually extinguished, and the last bit of Zhuge Liang's energy was also exhausted.
He died of illness at Wuzhangyuan at the age of fifty-four.
When Lin Yi wrote those words, the entire racetrack hall fell silent.
A sense of inexplicable sorrow filled everyone's hearts.
After a long silence, Li Tianguo sighed helplessly: "This is the tragedy of the weaker party. Every aspect must be taken into account. If even one small link goes wrong, the whole game will be lost."
The crowd both nodded and shook their heads.
They didn't even see how the Shu Kingdom made a mistake, but in the end, they lost without any suspense.
In summary, it can only be summed up in four words.
The will of Heaven is hard to defy.
It is worth mentioning that after Zhuge Liang fell to his death at Wuzhang Plains, the race did not end immediately, leaving only Sima Bozhong as the main character.
Even at this point, he still made a fool of himself.
He went to hunt down the remnants of the Shu army, but was frightened away by the plan left behind by Zhuge Liang.
Although they eventually came to their senses and their army pressed in to conquer the Shu Kingdom, the scene of them being so frightened that they retreated in panic, like clowns, became a microcosm of the whole situation.
While the winner is not to be blamed, if the way they win is too ugly, it is still a problem.
The game wasn't over yet; everyone quickly realized that this was the track's test for Sima Bozhong.
The racetrack is watching to see how long his usurped dynasty will last, and what kind of evaluation it will leave in history books.
As it turns out, the Sima family's mastery of the art of expediency was indeed unparalleled, but their skill in establishing a dynasty was only so-so.
The group quickly glanced at the changes in the Sima Dynasty.
Cao Luoshen commented: "I have never seen such a terrible dynasty."
Everyone present agreed wholeheartedly.
They've seen plenty of imperial racetracks and all sorts of dynasties, so their horizons are quite broad.
Even after seeing so many, the Sima Dynasty would definitely rank among the top.
It's just the worst dynasty list.
Finally, the game ended.
Sima Bozhong walked off the track with a relaxed expression, only to be met with disdain from the entire audience.
Some people couldn't help but ridicule him to his face: "You won so badly, if it were me, I'd rather have lost!"
Sima Bozhong sneered and retorted: "So you'll be at the bottom your whole life, suffering for the sake of saving face. Even if you were given a chance, you wouldn't be able to seize it."
Cao Luoshen raised an eyebrow slightly: "You think you can catch it?"
Sima Bozhong retorted arrogantly, "If I couldn't handle it, I would have been forced out of the game by you long ago, wouldn't I?"
No sooner had those words been spoken than the race leaderboard was finally updated.
Qin Shengjie, the terminator of the power struggle.
Sima Bozhong was stunned on the spot.
After a long silence, he finally murmured, speechless: "No? Why? Why was he the one to finish the race?"
He has already staked everything on the "Power Minister" track this time.
Winning the game in such an extremely ugly way not only made him a clown despised by the entire Tianjun County, but more importantly, he also offended Cao Luoshen for it.
He hitched a ride with someone else, forced his way into the final race, and then used the most underhanded methods to wear down his opponent until he was defeated.
This feud is far from over.
Even if it doesn't reach the level of a blood feud, Cao Luoshen would never hesitate to trample him to death whenever the opportunity arises in the future.
Even their respective families will be forced to become adversaries as a result.
His Sima family was only a second-rate family. If they were to face a first-rate family like the Cao family, they would basically only be beaten to a pulp.
Moreover, given the Sima family's consistent style of doing things, they have offended far more than just the Cao family.
If things go wrong, it will be like adding insult to injury.
After paying such a high price, in the end, he was not the one who finished the race, but Qin Shengjie, who had already lost to him in the game. Who could accept that?
If this were a man-made competition, Sima Bozhong would definitely jump up and shout that it was a rigged match!
Unfortunately not.
Behind the racetrack lies the grand path, and the judgment of victory or defeat is determined by the will of Heaven.
He can't exactly shout that God is unjust, can he?
Sima Bozhong had the intention, but he didn't have the courage.
If he were truly marked by the Heavenly Dao, not only would he himself be ruined, but the entire Sima family would also be destroyed.
Seeing Sima Bozhong looking as if he had lost his parents, the people around him felt a sense of satisfaction.
Cao Luoshen, in particular, stands out for her refreshed and energetic appearance.
