Jia Chong truthfully informed Master Sima of Cao Mao's words and deeds in every detail every day.
Even if the other party flattered him, he recorded it truthfully without any concealment.
He knows his general's character very well, and he will never doubt himself because of these things.
Just as he thought, the general quickly sent a fast horse to deliver the letter.
Let him assist the emperor with peace of mind without any worries.
The carriage was getting closer and closer to Luoyang, and the emperor's attitude towards Jia Chong became closer and closer.
On this day, the two had dinner together again.
Cao Mao has already started chatting with Jia Chong, as if he completely regards him as one of his family members.
"Jia Gong, something like this happened to my uncle because of me. What should I do when I return to Luoyang and see the Queen Mother this time? Will she hate me?"
"What did your Majesty say...The Queen Mother will definitely treat you as her own child..."
"Jia Gong, I have always regarded you as my confidant. Please speak out and don't hide your secrets."
Jia Chong's face seemed hesitant. He looked around and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is extremely angry because of this matter. When you arrive in Luoyang, you must not provoke the Queen Mother again."
"But, after all, you are the supreme being in the world. If you are insulted by her, there is no need to be afraid. Just don't pay too much attention to it."
"Then what should I do when I meet you for the first time? Do I need to explain about my uncle?"
"No need to explain! The more you talk about this matter, the more likely it is to arouse the Queen Mother's anger. You will pay a respectful visit to the Queen Mother, inform her of your great ambitions, and vow to inherit the great achievements of Emperor Liezu... The Queen Mother does not care about the small things in her own family. , and she cares more about the world’s major events. When she hears this, she will definitely not embarrass you again!”
"Then I know what to do!"
Cao Mao suddenly realized that when he saw the Queen Mother, he would explain his uncle's affairs carefully, never mention any great achievements, focus on the Guo family, and talk more about the big things of the Guo family, not the small things of the world.
From now on, Jia Chong will be his number one adviser. If you do everything exactly as he says, you will definitely succeed!
Cao Mao continued to eat.
He said casually: "I heard that you have a daughter who is virtuous and beautiful. Is that so?"
Jia Chong was immediately shocked.
Isn't it because you've been showing kindness to me for several days in a row just for the sake of my daughter? ?
No wonder there are rumors that you have the legacy of your ancestors!
"How did your Majesty know about my family affairs? Who said it?"
Cao Mao laughed and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Jia. I just heard what An Shi said. Mr. Jia, I see that An Shi is a strange man. He is also the direct eldest son of General Zhengxi. Why don't you marry your daughter to him?" ?”
Jia Chong asked suspiciously: "Is this what An Shi said?"
"No, no, it's just my own thoughts."
"Don't worry too much. If you have other ideas, just pretend that I haven't said anything about it."
"Your Majesty, how can I be so blessed? It's better not to mention this matter again."
"How about marrying me?"
"ah??"
You really still want my daughter! ! !
Jia Chong's eyes widened and he looked even more shocked, "No, no, I am despicable, how dare you serve your majesty..."
"What are you talking about? Mr. Jia, if your daughter is not worthy, then whose daughter is worthy?"
"I...don't dare! Your Majesty would be ashamed to kill me! Please don't use such words!!"
Jia Chong was really frightened.
He is an extremely selfish person who always puts personal interests first and national interests second.
Many people speculated that he ordered the regicide to force Sima Zhao to go further so that he could prosper together.
Being a queen to Cao Mao is beneficial to some people, and disadvantageous to others.
As for Jia Chong, after seeing Sima Yi, Sima Shi, and Sima Zhao, he was convinced that he could get ahead by following the Sima family wholeheartedly. He wished he could lock himself on the Sima family's ship. How could he dare to get involved with Cao Mao? relation?
This broken ship is about to sink. I can be ordered to get close to Cao Mao, but it is best not to be a relative.
Looking at Jia Chong's reaction, Cao Mao looked a little regretful and said, "That's alright, please invite Mr. Jia to get up."
Cao Mao didn't want to be Jia Chong's son-in-law, he wanted to get rid of Jia Chong.
Although Jia Chong is a villain, he has won the trust of the Sima family and can be regarded as one of Sima Division's important counselors and one of Sima Zhao's confidants in the future.
And how to kill this person?
Then we have to find Jia Chong's shortcomings. What are Jia Chong's shortcomings?
He values his own interests more than the interests of the Sima family.
He will not sacrifice his own interests for the interests of the Sima family. Currently, his interests are the same as those of the Sima family, and there is no conflict.
But what if there is a conflict of interest between the two parties?
Which side will Jia Chong be on?
What happened today was just a test by Cao Mao. If Jia Chong's daughter married him, would there be any harm to the Sima family?
Probably not. They trust Jia Chong very much. If he becomes their relative, they can control themselves better.
What about Jia Chong?
This is definitely a bad thing. He could obviously get on a new ship and run to the new world, but he has to get on a broken ship. Although the Sima family may give some compensation, is this comparable?
He wants his daughter to be the queen, but she cannot be the queen of your Cao family!
Will Jia Chong tell Master Sima truthfully about this matter?
Cao Mao was very curious.
That night, when Jia Chong wrote to the general as usual, he also hesitated.
The general wouldn't just follow the tide and order his daughter to be married to Cao Mao, right?
When Cao Mao becomes the late emperor, I am afraid that the general will no longer be there. Then, will he, a relative of the late emperor, be able to get greater benefits in the new dynasty?
Jia Chong hesitated for a moment, looked at the candlelight in front of him, and suddenly woke up.
"Jia Chong, Jia Chong, why are you so upset because of what a Zhuzi said?"
"Can't the general see the benefits?"
His expression suddenly became resolute, he lowered his head and wrote all these things truthfully.
Finally, I also wrote down my thoughts that I really didn’t want to do.
He believes that his own value and potential are higher than the value that his daughter will bring after marrying Cao Mao. The general will never do this!
After writing the letter, Jia Chong raised his head, squinting his eyes and looking uncertain.
"If we don't get rid of this thorn, we will end up with endless troubles. Once Guanqiu Jian is defeated, we must kill him quickly to leave no trouble."
In the days that followed, Jia Chong still followed Cao Mao, smiling as usual, with no change in his attitude.
Looking at his attitude, Cao Mao knew in his heart that this guy had told Master Sima truthfully.
Otherwise, he would definitely not dare to come forward so actively again.
The closer he got to Luoyang, the more excited Cao Mao became.
There are so many things to do in Luoyang.
There are Guanqiu Jian, the descendants of Zhuge Dan and others in the city, the Queen Mother is in the palace, and there are many ministers in the temple.
He is confident that this lifeless Luoyang will become lively and noisy.
What he values most is Guanqiudian, who is currently serving as the censor.
However, you can't contact him rashly yet.
When he arrives in Luoyang, he will definitely be surrounded by spies arranged by Jia Chong. There will be surveillance inside and outside, and his travel will be strictly controlled.
However, this situation is much better than it was in Yuancheng.
Although there are many restrictions, there are also many people who can use it.
The carriage moved forward, carrying the energetic young emperor, and finally crossed the river and arrived at the Xuanwu Pavilion in Mangshan, the northern suburbs of Luoyang.
This was the temporary residence of Emperor Liezu in the past, with two halls and four halls.
The ministers, led by Sangong, had already arrived here.
This new emperor, even before he ascended the throne, had already brought quite a shock to these ministers.
And he finally arrived here.
None of the ministers expected that the last person to ascend the throne would be Gaogui Township Duke Cao Mao. When Cao Mao suggested rehabilitating him, many people felt that he would no longer be able to ascend the throne.
After all, Guanqiu Jian's matter cannot be hidden from these people.
They all wanted to know what kind of person the new emperor was who could make Guan Qiujian personally support him.
Jia Chong did not come. He entered Luoyang in advance on the grounds that the general had an eye disease.
Wang Su's trio was responsible for leading Cao Mao to meet with the ministers.
When Cao Mao stepped out of the carriage with the support of Hua Biao, the ministers in the distance had already lined up according to etiquette, and under the leadership of the Three Lords, they paid homage to Cao Mao.
"Meet Your Majesty!!!"
ps: Master Sima has great power in the temple at the moment, but because of the compromise with the aristocratic family, internal troubles are also great. The Sima family has always wanted to completely control the entire temple, but each aristocratic family still has its own domain, such as in the palace , people from the Guo family are basically in charge, and the Sima family can only win over these big families through marriages and rewards.
As the protagonist comes to Luoyang, the fun in the temple will really begin.
