Cao Mao and Guo Zi sat in front of Guo Jian, with two tall and powerful soldiers watching behind them.
Guo Jian no longer had the arrogance he had just now, and looked at the two lunatics in front of him with some fear.
His thoughts at the moment were similar to those of Wang Suhuabiao.
You little brat, how can you be so capable of causing trouble? ?
The Queen Mother ordered him to escort the emperor to Luoyang as a protective general, with a very clear purpose.
Guo Jian never thought about how complicated this matter could be. If Cao Mao objected again, he would just escort him back. However, he had no idea that Guo Cui, a birdman, would actually teach the emperor such a virtue.
In the clan, everyone plays a different role.
Guo De is the successor, Guo Jian is the clan's thug, and Guo Zi assumes the responsibility of the Confucian scholar.
The wealthy families of the Han Dynasty all passed down the Confucian classics to their families. Therefore, when Guo Ji was still young, the family decided to let this smart and well-read child take the path of Confucian classics.
The clan invited a great scholar to teach him, hoping that he could become famous. If there was a great scholar in the clan, the entire clan would benefit from it.
From the very beginning, Guo Ji was trained by his clan to be a Confucian scholar and a doctor of Confucian classics.
But now it seems that the cultivation method of the wealthy family is indeed excellent!
The good news is that they successfully cultivated an upright Confucian scholar, but the bad news is that they cultivated too much integrity.
Guo Jian is the person who dislikes Guo Zi the most in the clan.
He felt that this guy was simply crazy.
Looking back now, I realized that I was not wrong!
Guo Jian was so angry that he kept pulling out his beard. He did not dare to force these two people to go to Luoyang now. If they sought death again halfway, it would be a bigger problem.
He paced back and forth for a long time before sitting in front of the two of them again.
"Fashionable... just listen to me and become the emperor, okay?"
"Don't be stupid again. Being the emperor will only benefit the Queen Mother, and there will be no harm!"
Cao Mao said stubbornly: "Uncle, I know you are deliberately lying to me, it's all for my own good! I will never do anything detrimental to the Guo family!"
"I'm not lying to you! This is all the result of a compromise between the two sides! Master Sima wants to support Cao Zhi just for the sake of power in the palace!"
"If he succeeds, the Queen Mother will no longer be the Queen Mother, and we will have to get out of the palace as well. This is our bottom line!"
"do you understand?!"
"Uncle! Why are you deceiving me with such words? No need to say more, uncle, thank you for your favor. I can't repay you in this life, I can only repay it in the next life!"
"I..."
Guo Jian almost jumped.
"You two idiots! The Queen Mother has decided to support you! Do you know? Because of you, my brother went to see Master Sima and offended him severely. If you don't go now, can Master Sima spare my family?! "
"Don't think about the discord now, it's been a long time ago! You have to be the emperor!! Then find a way to make up for it!"
Cao Mao looked at him thoughtfully, "Is that so..."
"Right, that is it!"
Cao Mao pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since it can't be eased, I won't refuse."
Guo Jian was overjoyed, "Okay! Okay! It should have been like this a long time ago!"
"It's a pity that I don't have much talent. The Queen Mother has been said to have failed to fulfill her teaching duties because of King Qi's lack of virtue. If I do something wrong, wouldn't I be discredited by the Queen Mother?"
"No, no, how could you do something wrong? You are a great sage! You are more powerful than Yao and Shun! Come on, let's go find Wang Su!"
"Uncle, don't be anxious."
Cao Mao said seriously: "My uncle didn't know something. I wrote a letter to the Queen Mother and planned to ask Wang Su to take it back for me and tell the Queen Mother what I felt in my heart. However, when I went to see Wang Su, he complained that he was sick. He didn’t see me and ignored me at all, only letting Hua Biao come out to stall me.”
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
"Look, this is the letter."
Cao Mao took out the letter from his arms and said confidently:
"Although our Guo family is now looked down upon by the Sima family, we can't belittle ourselves!"
"If I go to find him again, he will think that I, Mrs. Guo, are afraid of him."
Guo Jian nodded, "You are right, then let him come?"
"Yes! You have to wait for him to come!"
"If he wants to invite us, what does he mean to the Wang family? His father has just started to make a fortune, and our Guo family has been in the family for hundreds of years, but can we still look at his face?"
"A person like him can be the ninth minister, but I, the Guo family, can't. My eldest uncle is also married to the Sima family. Can I still be afraid of him?"
"you are right!"
Guo Jian said proudly: "In terms of background, his family is far inferior to ours!"
"Uncle, Master Sima said that he will ascend the throne in five days. There are still more than twenty days left, so don't worry at all! It's not easy for you to come out. In the past few days, let me take you here to play as a landlord! "
"When Wang Su comes to invite me in person, we will accept his invitation!"
"good!!"
Guo Jian simply agreed.
My brother's instructions have long been forgotten.
Cao Mao gave Guo Jian the best room in the house and invited him to have a drink in the evening. Guo Jian was in a good mood and became closer to this strange Youzi.
Although he is a bit stubborn, stubborn, and loves to cause trouble, this child is really close to the Guo family. Well, not bad!
While they were gathering together happily, eating meat and drinking wine, Wang Su, who also lived in Yuancheng, had trouble sleeping and eating.
Why haven't you come yet? ?
Guo Jiandu is here!
Shouldn't you bring people to my place quickly? ?
What went wrong? ?
When he learned that Guo Jian had come in person, Wang Su thought that the matter was settled and there was no need to worry anymore.
He even gave orders to everyone with great confidence to get ready to go to Luoyang.
However, until now, I haven't even seen a single figure.
The confidence on Wang Su's face was gradually disappearing.
He sat blankly in the inner room, asking his entourage from time to time, but received negative answers.
Wang Su was stunned immediately.
What does it mean? ?
It was you who supported the emperor, and it was you who were anxious for him to ascend the throne. What is the situation now? ?
"Go and invite Zheng Miao over!"
Soon, Zheng Miao sat in front of Wang Su. In front of Zheng Miao, Wang Su did not hide himself and asked directly: "Zheng Jun, Guo Jian arrived in Yuancheng, but stayed in the palace and did not come to see me. What do you think is the reason?”
"Could something happen in Luoyang?"
Wang Su's meaning is simple. He wants to know whether the Guo family is his opponent or ally.
Zheng Miao calmly replied: "My lord, in fact, you don't need to worry. It is the Guo family that should be worried now. We were just ordered to welcome the emperor. The emperor is unwilling to ascend the throne. This is not our fault."
Wang Su was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I think your Majesty is definitely not taking it easy. He is afraid that we will get a bad name."
Zheng Ming shook his head, "Definitely not. The general may seem courageous, but in fact he is very thoughtful and can endure what ordinary people cannot. You don't have to worry. Since the Guo family is not in a hurry and the general has not urged us, then we will just wait and see." Yes."
"Um...."
"Wait a minute. If they don't make any move, we will go there one last time. If he still refuses, then we can go back."
"only."
After Zheng Miao left Wang Su's place, he went directly to the house where Hua Biao was.
Zheng Miao gently knocked on the door. As soon as Huabiao opened the door, Zheng Miao rushed in.
"Why are you here? Are you about to set off?"
"There is no result yet. What did brother and your majesty talk about today?"
As Zheng Miao spoke, he sat down without looking outside at all.
Zheng Miao lost his father when he was young. He followed his uncle Zheng Hun to seek refuge in Jiangdong and relied on Hua Xin. Hua Xin took care of Zheng Miao as his own son.
In private, Zheng Mian also called Hua Biao his elder brother.
Hua Biao said impatiently: "We just talked about some things about my father, nothing else."
"However, during the conversation, I saw that Your Majesty is extremely wise and willing to be close to talented people and stay away from villains. It is right for the Queen Mother to want him to ascend the throne."
Zheng Miao frowned and said in a low voice: "Brother... I think today's emperor has the talent of Emperor Wu, the strategy of Emperor Wen, and the ambition of Emperor Ming. In time, he will definitely be a great leader."
Hua Biao was stunned, "You think so highly of him? Just because he is humble??"
"Brother, none of this is important. It's just that you shouldn't get too entangled with him."
"When you were in Luoyang, I advised you not to come. Supporting the emperor is sometimes a credit, and sometimes it is a disaster. If your Majesty causes any trouble, who can protect you?"
Hua Biao's face suddenly turned pale and his voice was trembling.
"what do you mean?"
"Brother, if the emperor is mediocre, it will be fine if you gain support, but if something happens to the emperor, you will not be able to escape this punishment."
"I think that after returning to Luoyang, you'd better resign and hide at home until things change before you can become an official... Otherwise, you may be in trouble."
Hua Biao was sweating profusely and looked even more uneasy.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier..."
"I tried to persuade you before, but you never agreed."
"At that time, I never thought that Guo would support such a person."
"Such a person is like a sword in a sheath. Normally there is no sharp edge, but once it is taken out of the sheath, it will definitely see blood."
"And what he has been doing these days is very strange. I think he must have something up his sleeve."
"Then let's go report it to the prince now?!"
Zheng Miao was silent for a long time, and then replied: "Mr.
"Besides, we don't know what the township master wants to do. It's just a guess. It's useless to say more."
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you...but, what does this noble countryman want to do?"
