At sunrise, the Gaogui Township Mansion became lively.
I saw soldiers coming in and out of the gate constantly, very busy.
Not long after, several carriages drove out from the mansion gate.
The entire Yuancheng has been under martial law, no one is allowed to enter or exit, and local soldiers have blocked the roads.
There were soldiers surrounding the carriage in front and behind, and the knights cleared the way.
Cao Mao looked outside from the car window.
They are officially leaving Yuancheng this time and heading to Luoyang.
Master Sima must have a plan when he came here, but Cao Mao couldn't guess the purpose of his coming here.
Looking at the familiar scenery outside the window, Cao Mao felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
I left this time, but I don’t know when I will come back again.
Luoyang is a completely unfamiliar place to Cao Mao.
No one is allowed to approach the emperor's carriage.
Master Sima didn't even arrange any servants for himself, and Cao Mao was still alone.
Compared with the "First Week", the situation of the "Second Week" is more dangerous.
However, this "second" start was far more powerful than the first.
The three successful rejections attracted the attention of everyone in the world to this unknown little city.
The redress intensified the estrangement between the alliance of aristocratic families in the DPRK and China. With the support of Guanqiu Jian, he made his position clear to the world. Cao Mao has done the best he can under extremely limited conditions.
The disadvantages of this are obvious.
Both Sima Master and Sima Zhao were already very wary of themselves.
From now on, he will be under extremely strict surveillance. It is basically impossible to interfere in military affairs or win over generals. Sima Shi will definitely want to take him away before leaving.
But wouldn’t you be watched if you didn’t? Can he escape the fate of being killed?
The benefits now are obvious. At least, he is qualified to set up a chessboard. Although he has no chess pieces in his hand, he is no longer a submissive chess piece in the eyes of others.
He did not want Guanqiu Jian to raise troops now.
Even if Master Sima could be replaced, the loss would be too great.
This is the only minister in the area who really wants to assist the Wei family. He is very good at fighting and has an elite force of 60,000 people, which no one can replace.
For people like Zhuge Dan, he was different from Guanqiu Jian. He wanted more to protect himself and continue to be a local emperor.
Cao Mao absolutely did not want to trade Guanqiu Jian for Master Sima. Master Sima was not in good health and needed surgery for eye problems.
Many people speculated that the cause of Sima Shi's death was inflammation after surgery.
Even if he had not been frightened on the battlefield, he might not have been able to live long, and he would not have been able to survive Guanqiu Jian anyway.
Besides, does the shock have to come from the battlefield?
Fatigue, anger, being in a rush, there are many ways that can kill a post-surgery patient!
The wise ministers in the temple have been killed. Cao Mao still has to protect the remaining loyal ministers in this place.
Let Guanqiu Jian be appeased first, and other matters can be planned slowly when we get to Luoyang.
Master Sima acted in a hurry, so Cao Mao should act in a slow manner.
Luoyang is different from Yuancheng, although it is also the world of the Sima family.
But there are many, many people out there.
All kinds of people are enough for Cao Mao to continue his plan.
Why did Master Sima threaten him in Yuancheng in advance? It is because after arriving in Luoyang, many things may not go as Master Sima expected.
He wanted to make himself less troublesome for him.
As he said, it is difficult to govern a country well. Just enjoy yourself in peace.
Cao Mao was convinced.
Enjoyment, right?
OK, let you see how we enjoy ourselves.
The stream gurgled in the distance, but the children who were always playing in the water were nowhere to be seen.
Dust was billowing on the road, and the sound of soldiers' armor clashing could be heard endlessly.
Wang Su, Zheng Miao, Hua Biao and three others were following behind Cao Mao.
Hua Biao's face looked quite ugly.
He looked ahead, gritted his teeth, and whispered:
"We did all the hard work, we were all responsible for the bad reputation. Why did Jia Chong lead His Majesty to Luoyang in the end?"
"He is just a minor official in the general's palace! What qualifications does he have?!"
Wang Su scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! It's obviously the general who personally came to invite your majesty to Luoyang. What's the matter with Jia Chong here?"
Hua Biao pursed his lips.
Zheng Ming glanced at Hua Biao and added: "The general is heading to Luoyang with us. The person sitting in the carriage in front is the general. Don't forget it."
Hua Biao nodded. Even though he was dissatisfied with Jia Chong, he did not dare to provoke Master Sima.
Sima Shi did not return to Luoyang with them, but stayed there. Jia Chong returned to Luoyang under the banner of general.
If he stays in Yuancheng, there should be some unfinished business.
Wang Su had already been exhausted by Cao Mao's torment. He no longer wanted to participate in these things. He only wanted to cultivate himself for a while after returning to Luoyang.
He was not interested at all in what Master Sima wanted to do when he stayed in Yuancheng.
Zheng Miao was thinking about what Cao Mao had done during these days.
When he heard some gossip from Wang Su, he finally understood what Cao Mao wanted to do.
He wanted to win over Guanqiu Jian.
Although Zheng Miao didn't know why Cao Mao was so eager to win over Guan Qiu Jian, he must have his own reasons.
Perhaps, he thought that if he didn't win over him at this moment, he would be completely unable to establish contact with Guanqiu Jian.
Or maybe he thought that not contacting Guan Qiu Jian at this moment would cause Guan Qiu Jian to completely fall out with the temple.
Zheng Miao sighed secretly, if there was peace and prosperity, his majesty would definitely be able to accomplish great things.
It's a pity that he met the general.
Zheng Miao is the one who knows the terrifying aspects of the general.
Your Majesty is definitely no match for him.
Not long after, the group of people had arrived at Yinping.
Jia Chong seemed reluctant to let too many people see the emperor, and even refused the local magistrate's request to pay homage to the emperor.
This shocked the local magistrate.
Jia Chong didn't care what others thought. He was a very selfish person. As long as he could complete the general's instructions, other things were not within his scope of consideration.
They didn't even enter the city, they just set up a temporary camp, completely inconsistent with the emperor's specifications.
Cao Mao could only eat in the carriage. After a few mouthfuls, Cao Mao angrily shouted to the soldiers outside the carriage: "Go and call Mr. Jia!"
Soon, Jia Chong arrived here.
"Your Majesty? What happened?"
"Master Jia, before I left, the general once told me that outside of Yuancheng, there are delicacies everywhere. But look at what I eat now. Is this the kind of food the emperor eats? It's not as good as what I ate in Yuancheng!" "
“Not to my taste!!”
Jia Chong was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "I didn't think it through well. Your Majesty, please wait a moment and I will replace it for you right now!"
"Why bother you to do this little thing yourself? The order is, come up and eat with me!"
"good."
Jia Chong got on the carriage and sat next to Cao Mao.
Cao Mao smiled and grabbed his hand, "To tell you the truth, when I first met you, I felt that you must be the one who will help me calm the world in the future!"
"I've heard a lot about you."
"I heard that you are a very filial person. You stayed filial piety for your biological father at a young age and became famous all over the world. This is really admirable."
"I also heard that you are proficient in the law. You participated in the major events of drafting the law when you were young. You have held many official positions and have done extremely well."
Cao Mao kept praising him, but Jia Chong's heart was unmoved.
He had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, what on earth did this Zhuzi want to do?
On this day, Cao Mao and Jia Chong had dinner together, and Cao Mao asked Jia Chong to sleep with him. Of course, Jia Chong did not dare, and refused repeatedly. Cao Mao was very reluctant to let go, and took Jia Chong's hand and flattered him again. After a while.
In the days that followed, Cao Mao called Jia Chong over whenever he had something to do, showing his great kindness to him.
She often had meals with him and invited him to stay and sleep with her every day.
Occasionally when he got off the carriage, he had to ask Jia Chong to support him to express his closeness to him.
From time to time, I would ask him some legal questions and inquire about the situation in the world.
Jia Chong was a little suspicious. Was this guy trying to win over him? Or to drive a wedge between himself and the general? ?
This made Jia Chong couldn't help but want to laugh. Why do you want to win over yourself?
Why do you dare to alienate?
Do you think the general is a fool?
The general asked him to appease the emperor, and Jia Chong didn't mind accompanying Cao Mao in a show of unity between the emperor and his ministers.
However, he did not notice that the eyes of his colleagues around him had changed.
ps: Jia Chong’s mother is a very upright person. She has never been clear about what her son has done. She has always abused Cheng Ji in front of others, so everyone secretly laughed at her behind her back. She also repeatedly asked Jia Chong to bring back his first wife Li, but Jia Chong did not dare to do so because he was afraid of his new wife, and finally died with regret.
