Guo Mao left silently.
He is leaving Yuancheng with his people.
Sima Yan was still complaining to Cao Mao, "Don't be close friends with this person. My father often said that these people named Guo are greedy."
Sima Yan glanced at Guo Kui and said to Cao Mao: "Even the people around you, you should be more careful to avoid being harmed!"
Guo Zi's face was very ugly.
Cao Mao looked at Sima Yan in surprise.
What a clever divorce plan!
If only your uncle were like you!
He is worthy of being Sima Zhong's biological father, and his holy essence is indeed as good as before.
Unfortunately, there are always powerful ministers, but not Sima Yan. What he has to face is an opponent like Sima Shi.
The news brought by Guo Jian is explosive.
This time, it was Cao Mao's turn to be stunned. Guo Jian accused himself of killing Guo De.
This Guo De is the son-in-law of Master Sima. Who in the temple would dare to kill him except Master Sima?
Why did Master Sima kill him?
Isn't he afraid of completely falling out with Guo?
Guo Jian only told him the news today, so this incident must have happened many days ago. How did Master Sima deal with the aftermath during these days?
Cao Mao suddenly woke up. Isn't this the same information he used earlier?
Master Sima returned it to him intact. Is it now his turn to speculate on the situation?
My great-grandfather and his mother were almost dying of illness and yet they attacked so violently?
Sima Yan gave some persuasion and ordered Cheng Ji to protect Cao Mao before leaving.
Cao Mao took Guo Zu back to the inner room.
"Guo Jun, my uncle was killed."
Guo Zi was silent for a moment, "The Queen Mother did not write to me again."
"I'm worried that the Queen Mother is also controlled by Master Sima."
Cao Mao said sadly:
"Oh, uncle died because of me."
Guo Zi quickly shook his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, everyone is destined to die. Today, my brother died in order to bring justice to Xiahou and oppose such a major matter. This is a well-deserved death. This is definitely not something worth being sad about."
"I used to think that my brother was timid and did not dare to help the country. Now it seems that I am far inferior to him!"
Guo Ji raised his head and sighed.
Cao Mao didn't comment on this.
If this person had the determination to die for the temple, he would not have died just now. He would have followed Xia Houxuan and the others on the road long ago.
Just as the two were speculating on the situation in the temple and waiting for news, an old friend returned to the mansion.
That's right, Yang Zong is back.
When he appeared at the door of the mansion disheveled and bohemian, Cheng Ji was shocked by him. This man was simply elusive.
Cheng Ji hated this kind of people, but he didn't embarrass him and let him in.
When Guo Zong saw Yang Zong, his eyes were filled with anger.
He spoke sarcastically: "The crisis is not over yet, why are you back?"
Yang Zong ignored the silly boy and walked to the familiar shade of the tree, leaning against the big tree and sitting on the ground.
"I'm just going out for a walk."
Yang Zong looked at Cao Mao who was standing at the door, raised his head and said, "I met a few friends on the way, and I learned some about the temple. Hey, I really want to have some drinks."
He looked quite proud, as if to say, come and ask me!
Cao Mao nodded calmly.
"The wine is in the warehouse."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Only Yang Zong was left, looking at Cao Mao's back, confused in the wind.
Guo Zu followed Cao Mao and walked in together.
"My lord, I think Mr. Yang seems to have something to say to you. Although he left earlier, we need to know the situation in the temple very much now... Why don't you listen to his story?"
Cao Mao shook his head, "It's not because he left, it's just that I don't want to get too close to him."
Cao Mao was already prepared to be killed if he failed, and Yang Zong was his back-up man after his failure. If he died, he could still advise Sima Zhao in time. Although Sima Zhao was not as good as his brother, he could still listen to advice. Advice, maybe it can actually prevent future catastrophes.
If he is too close to him now, Sima Zhao may not use him too much in the future.
As for the situation in the temple, what can we do if we know it?
There is nothing I can do in my current situation.
Cao Mao didn't think much, waved his hand, walked into the study, picked up a book, and started reading.
Guo Zi looked at him, hesitated, and then walked out of the inner room.
Yang Zong was sitting in the shade of a tree. The weather was getting colder and his whole body was trembling slightly. But Yang Zong didn't care at all. He even deliberately opened his collar to face the cold.
"Mr. Yang."
Suddenly someone shouted.
Yang Zong raised his head, but it was Guo Pei. At this moment, Guo Pei was holding a wine bag and standing aside in a restrained manner.
"I..."
"you..."
Guo Zu opened his mouth twice but was unable to continue.
He had never begged anyone in his life, and he didn't know how to flatter. He stood cautiously, not knowing what to say.
Yang Zong stared at the young man in front of him.
The two were silent for a long time.
Finally, Yang Zong asked angrily: "Is this wine for me?"
"yes..."
Guo Zui quickly gave the wine to Yang Zong. Yang Zong took a few mouthfuls and looked at Guo Zui again.
Guo Zi still didn't speak.
Yang Zong sighed and asked again: "Want me to tell you about the situation in the temple?"
"yes..."
"Look at you two, you two are not human beings! Do you still have to ask me to tell you?!"
Guo Ji was stunned for a moment, then straightened his clothes and knelt directly in front of Yang Zong, "Please tell Mr. Yang."
At that moment, Yang Zong looked a little dazed.
He looked at the pedantic and somewhat stupid young man in front of him and couldn't help but fall into memories.
His eyes were full of complexity and pain.
"Get up, I don't deserve your kneeling ceremony..."
"Sima Shi forced Guo De to commit suicide, fabricated a crime for him to trick Duke Cao into rehabilitating his wife and uncle, and made him the proposer. He appointed Sima Wanglai as the guard general, and used the entire Guo family to force the Queen Mother, so that The Queen Mother has ordered that no redress be allowed."
"The ministers can no longer submit a letter. You should go back and inform Duke Cao. Master Sima is a person who doesn't care about reputation at all. Now that he has calmed down the ministers, he will probably kill Duke Cao next."
"No matter whether Duke Cao still wants to inherit the throne or not, nothing can be changed."
"The only way to survive now is to write to Sima Zhao, requesting that King Pengcheng be made emperor. Sima Zhao wants to be famous. Even if it is to show his tolerance, he will probably protect Duke Cao, and maybe even grant him a title. A throne and a lifetime of house arrest.”
"House arrest is better than being killed."
There was no trace of fear on Guo Zu's face, and he saluted Yang Zong again.
"Thank you for informing me."
"In the future, you should think more about yourself. The Guo family must have abandoned you, and you are considered by the temple to be a close confidant of Duke Cao. If Duke Cao had judged the situation, he could still survive, but you, I'm afraid, there is no way to survive. "
Guo Ji said seriously: "If you can die for the sake of the king, you will die a worthy death."
He stood up and left here in a hurry.
Yang Zong looked at the wine in his hand again, raised his head and drank it.
...........
Guo Zu quickly informed Cao Mao of the news.
"You went to find Yang Zong??"
"My lord didn't want to get close to him, so I had no choice but to go and inquire in person..."
Cao Mao said: "You can't make your own decisions in the future."
"only."
The news that Guo Zui brought back was really not a good thing.
Cao Mao did not expect that Master Sima would attack so ruthlessly and not give him a chance at all.
He proposed to rehabilitate Xia Houxuan, firstly to show his attitude to the loyal people in the world, secondly to cause conflicts in the temple, thirdly to gain the reputation of Shilin, and fourthly to bind himself to the Guo family and make them unable to dismount. .
But Sima Shi directly forced Guo De to death and blamed him for everything. The world matter of rehabilitating the leader Shilin turned into a private matter of rehabilitating his wife and uncle.
He also silenced the ministers through the Queen Mother, forced his family into the palace, and divided the power of the Guo family.
He even distanced himself from the Guo family. Guo Jian's attitude made him want to eat him alive.
Cao Mao took a deep breath and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Guo Ji also informed Cao Mao of the second half of Yang Zong's words.
Upon hearing this, Cao Mao narrowed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips.
"How could I not know what kind of person Master Sima is? I never thought that I could limit him through reputation..."
"However, if he wants to kill me, it's not that easy."
"In the world of Wei Dynasty, he is not the only one who can speak for himself now."
"Guo Jun, I want to repair another book!"
"Who do you want to write to, my lord?"
"Of course it's Sima Zhao. Didn't Mr. Yang say that I should write to Sima Zhao to beg for mercy and save my life? How can I not listen to this great sage's advice?"
