"Alas, my brother left with many of his guards. I tried to persuade him several times, but he ignored him."
"Yang Zong is also missing. Fortunately, my lord has always treated him with courtesy!"
"Even those hangers-on, they have abandoned you..."
"How could they do this? If it weren't for you, would they be alive today?"
"On weekdays, I always shout that I want to serve you, but when things really happen, I leave you alone."
"My lord...we are the only two left."
Guo Zi's face was full of loneliness, and his eyes were filled with indescribable sadness.
He doesn't understand what's going on in this world.
Why are there fewer and fewer loyal people? What I read in books is incompatible with what I see today.
He could accept his brother leaving, but he knew that his brother was not a loyal person.
Yang Zong left, he cursed a few words, but let it go.
But even those rangers left, which Guo Zi couldn't accept.
He fell into confusion again, holding the hilt of the sword and standing beside Cao Mao.
Cao Mao smiled and sat under the shade of the tree. This was the place where Yang Zong stayed all year round, but now it was occupied by Cao Mao.
It was very quiet inside the mansion.
Ever since Cao Mao rejected Wang Su for the third time that day, the situation had become a little different.
Without saying a word, Guo Jian fled the Cao Mansion with many of his guards.
He simply didn't dare to live here anymore, or even talk to Cao Mao anymore.
Although he is not smart, he knows who can and cannot be provoked.
The rebellion of Xia Houxuan and others was personally handled by Master Sima.
Master Sima has always governed with authority, and the result of this incident is that he demonstrated his power to the entire temple and confirmed his name.
Carrying out the abolition and establishment of Cao Wei will eliminate Cao Wei's supporters and lay the foundation for future plans.
This is something that is absolutely impossible to regret. If you rehabilitate Xia Houxuan and others, it will be a disgrace to Master Sima. Considering Master Sima’s character and style, if you dare to bring up this matter, he will not care whether you are Who comes.
The Guo family, the Wang family, any clan, any allies, Sima Shi will kill them without fail.
No relationship or identity is of any use to him.
That is a cold political machine, a ruthless killing machine!
Needless to say, Guo Jian felt panic in his heart. He left the mansion in a mess and didn't dare to look back.
Even those die-hard allies of Master Sima, such as Wang Su, are too scared to go out at this moment.
Huabiao was so frightened that he fell ill and was still seeing a doctor at this moment.
They no longer dared to pay attention to the affairs of the Cao Mansion.
And Yang Zong also disappeared. This was something Cao Mao didn't expect. He thought that the other party didn't care about this.
As for the rangers, they were actually ordered to leave.
There is no use in leaving them in the mansion.
If Master Sima wanted to kill him, a dozen rangers would be powerless. With Master Sima's order, the people from the county government could kill Cao Mao's regiment.
Cao Mao didn't want them to accompany him to death, but he also wanted them to do more useful things.
There was complete silence in the mansion.
"Guo Jun, this is a dangerous move... I am ready to die."
"In fact, there is no need for you to accompany me to death. If Master Sima wants to kill someone, he always kills him cleanly. Don't let your clan get involved because of me."
Guo Ji shook his head, his expression extremely serious.
"My lord, you are incompetent."
"At such a critical time, I cannot advise you or serve as your arm."
"There is really nothing to miss in this treacherous world."
"If Your Majesty does not disapprove, my incompetent minister is willing to die together with the Lord."
Cao Mao raised his head and looked at the tall figure standing in front of him.
Cao Mao laughed and said, "Who said you are incompetent? Even ten princes can't bear my responsibilities!"
"Come on, Mr. Guo, let's go to the warehouse to get some meat and eat it first!"
"My uncle ran away in such a hurry that he didn't even take away the newly purchased meat. He couldn't waste it... If he was going to die tonight, he would have to eat and drink enough!"
The autumn wind blew gently through the empty mansion. Under the big tree, the monarch and his ministers were busy, talking and laughing without any fear.
At this moment, Yuancheng does not have such a harmonious scene as in Cao Mansion.
Knights kept running out of the city gate, all carrying letters. One person left every once in a while. This situation continued from yesterday to now.
With Yuancheng as the center, a huge shock was spreading to the surrounding area.
The rangers and merchants in the city suddenly began to talk about this matter, and even several surrounding counties and towns, this matter was spread a lot.
The officials reacted and hurriedly sent people to intercept.
However, before they had time to intercept it, the news began to spread throughout Hebei, causing a huge sensation.
Inside Wang Su’s residence.
"It's Cao Mao!! It's definitely Cao Mao!!"
"He had arranged this a long time ago! It was definitely not a last-minute idea!!"
His eyes were bloodshot, his eye sockets were dark, and the corners of his mouth were full of red blisters. He looked extremely tired.
He knelt down in front of Wang Su with an excited expression, and his whole body was extremely frightened.
"Prince!! You have to save me!"
"The prefect said that I was ineffective in governing the country, which caused rumors to spread and the people's hearts were in turmoil. He said that he would write a letter to punish me!"
"It's not because of me. In one day, this kind of news can spread throughout Hebei. This is definitely premeditated, otherwise just rushing on the road wouldn't be enough!"
"Cao Mao usually colludes with those merchants! Those rangers!"
"He is the leader of all the knight-errant merchants in Hebei, and they are working together! They made such a conspiracy seven or eight days ago!"
"He sent people to lurk in various places very early and sent out the news at the same time, so he was able to cause commotion throughout Hebei!"
Shu Wan also called Cao Mao by his first name at this moment.
He can't think about things in the future now, and now his life is in danger.
Everyone knows that this kind of thing cannot be spread. Now the government has failed to stop the spread of the news, and this has actually become his fault.
Shu Wan only felt that he had been wronged. This was clearly Cao Mao's plan. How could he blame himself? ?
Terrified, he hurried to Wang Su's house, hoping to get Wang Su's protection.
Wang Su didn't even think about looking at him at this moment.
He knew that the person in front of him would definitely die after being finished.
If the news leaks, someone who has neglected his duty must die, right?
Should I die or the eunuch should die?
Of course, you should take the first step on behalf of us virtuous people. We must stay to govern the country and continue to benefit the country.
The reason why he let Shu Wan in was because he wanted to know how serious the situation had become.
"Has it spread throughout Hebei?"
"Yes, overnight, there were rumors in many surrounding counties, and everyone was talking about it..."
"Yancheng has the most. I sent people to stop them. Those merchants in Guizhou are easy to deal with. But the scholars also know about this, so I can't force them."
"As of today, I don't know where the news has spread. Many people have been arrested in various places, but to no avail."
"However, many of those arrested are willing to testify that they were ordered by Cao Mao!"
Hearing this, Wang Su became furious and said, "That's nonsense. How could your Majesty do such a thing?"
"Come on, get this rude thief out of here!"
After being frightened, he quickly begged loudly for mercy.
"Prince! Please save me! I am willing to help you! I am willing to help the general kill Cao Mao!"
"Prince!!"
"roll!!"
Wang Su angrily threw the books on the case out, and the soldiers quickly dragged the bundle away.
After finishing, he still begged loudly for mercy.
This scene was exactly the same as when Shuqu was dragged away.
When he could no longer hear Shu Wan's annoying noise, Wang Su just exhaled and looked at Zheng Miao.
"Zheng Jun, I am afraid that my reputation will be destroyed in one day."
Wang Su's eyes were full of bitterness.
He knew very well what kind of person Sima Master was.
He has already sent out knights, working hard. Within four days, the general will know the news. In another four days, there will probably be knights coming here, and Cao Mao will disappear without a trace.
People who dare to depose even the emperor will not care about a small clan.
Cao Mao is going to die, let him die, and his reputation will also be stink.
How will this event be recorded in the history books? Wang Su acted as too often and forced to kill a virtuous successor to the emperor? ?
Thinking of this, Wang Su, who had been seeking fame for himself all his life, felt dizzy.
At this moment, Zheng Miao narrowed his eyes.
"Not necessarily."
