Live History Broadcast: Opening Ceremony Spoilers - Our Ancestor Was Enraged

Chapter 489 Sima Yi: I swear! It's a lie!!!

Liu Xiu was furious upon hearing this. "Fine, fine, you're using me as an example. No need to say more, this oath is definitely worthless!"

"Unfortunately, Huan Fan and others were furious at the time. They thought that even if they didn't believe them, they could at least believe in history, which was a certainty. But even after they recounted the entire history of the Cao family's rise to power, it still couldn't compare to the oath made at the Luo River."

Luoshui: It's "dirty" too!!!

"If Cao Cao were alive today, I wonder what he would think of this whole affair?!"

Cao, the Boss: What else can I think! Am I supposed to just sit there and think about it? Otherwise, I'll never say he's a member of the Cao family again!!

"After Cao Shuang was forced to resign, he thought that Sima Yi would eventually leave him a way out, and that Sima Yi had sworn an oath to the heavens by the Luo River that he would never betray him..."

"But not long after, Cao Shuang received news of his family and the three Yi clans of his trusted followers, implicating thousands of people."

"In this coup, Sima Yi used his past reputation to deceive Cao Shuang, which earned him a bad reputation for thousands of years. The negative impact of this incident has even affected the surname Sima, giving people the bad impression that he was a person with questionable character."

"Especially those who came after him, whether they were scheming or otherwise, followed his example, making promises worthless. These days, oaths are made in droves, so who still believes in a gentleman keeping his word!"

"As the saying goes, the way of Heaven is cyclical. The Sima family is the cause now, but they may not be unaware that the consequences await them ahead."

"By this point, the Sima family had completely seized control of Cao Wei. Just like Emperor Xian of Han, the emperors of Cao Wei had become puppets. It's true what they say, what goes around comes around!"

Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: So Cao Wei was the first of the Three Kingdoms to be defeated! Cao Mengde! You've worked for nothing! @Cao·Boss·Cao

Cao Cao, the boss: ...

Zhang Fei: Oh wow... this is a collapse from within!! Sima Yi is such a faithless bastard!!

Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Morality knows no bounds...

Judy, the Grand General Who Conquered the North: The worst thing wasn't usurping the throne, but breaking the oath and opening this door...

……

This is the timeline of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao's eyes widened in fury, his neck turning red with rage. He had never imagined that Sima Yi would seize power in Cao Wei in such a way!

Although Cao Shuang was the son of Cao Zhen, his adopted son, he was still a descendant of the Cao family. Yet, one day, when the emperor was still surnamed Cao, his entire clan was exterminated!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao became even angrier. If he followed Huan Fan's plan, would he be forced into this situation by Sima Yi?!

He immediately issued an order to bring Sima Yi over, wanting to see what else the Sima family had done!

Meanwhile, in another timeline, Jiang Ji and the others who were mentioned couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had become accomplices, never expecting that the oath of Luoshui was just empty words!

Not only has Luoshui's reputation been ruined, but they've also been scammed!

.........

Lin Ke then continued: "Sima Yi's actions shocked the court and the public, especially those old employees who trusted and approved his decisions!"

A veteran employee of Cao Wei: Is there any trust left between people?!

"Especially Jiang Ji, since he started working for Cao Wei, or rather, since he started working with Sima Yi, he never expected that the once incredibly reliable Sima Yi would immediately turn around after making an oath at Luoshui. It was like a slap in the face, so he died of shame very quickly."

"And Luoshui, like his colleague Taishan, has lost his reputation; it's a complete collapse of propriety and morality! Is this a moral decay or a distortion of human nature?!"

Meanwhile, in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng thought to himself, "I didn't do anything so terrible. At most, I just bribed someone to find a reason to go on a trip to Mount Tai!"

What's wrong with this behavior? Is it really worth bringing it up repeatedly? It's not like he was the only one who went!

Besides, hundreds and thousands of years later, won't countless people visit Mount Tai?!
