Compared with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao took the route of showing off.
At least that was the case before Cao Mao was killed.
Therefore, when Guanqiu Jian raised his troops, he said that there was nothing wrong with Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, but that Sima Shi should be executed for his wanton behavior and control of the temple.
Most of the time, Sima Zhao was at least on the side of the so-called "virtuous ministers".
Of course, wanting to drive a wedge between them is really overthinking.
Sima Zhao admired his elder brother very much and always asked his opinion before doing anything. There was absolutely no possibility of him being dissatisfied with his elder brother.
These three generations of the Sima family are indeed outstanding people.
Although Sima Zhao was weaker than his father and brother, he was by no means mediocre.
At this moment, the General of Zhengxi and Cao Mao were sitting facing each other, and his appearance skills were indeed in place. He looked worriedly at Cao Mao in front of him, as if he was his elder.
"General Zhengxi doesn't know something. I lost my mother when I was born."
"My father blamed me for this and refused to get close to me."
"Because I'm a concubine, my brother doesn't care about me as an elder brother."
"Later I moved to Yuancheng, but I was still alone, with a strict teacher inside and an unkind magistrate outside."
"When I learned that the Queen Mother wanted to make me emperor, I was extremely frightened and didn't know what to do."
"Later I learned that the general wanted to support King Pengcheng, and the Queen Mother was arguing with him. I became even more scared. I was afraid that I would be in danger because of this, so I had to hide and reject the angel several times."
"Later, my uncle and others arrived and told me not to worry, they would protect me."
"I went to see the prince, but he refused to see me several times. I only met Hua Jun and told him all my fears."
"Huajun comforts me. There are wise ministers in the temple and loyal generals in the local area. Don't worry. You should obey the edict of the temple."
"I just remembered what happened with Xiahou Gong. Xiahou Gong is a well-known sage in the world. If he can be redressed, he will definitely be loved by the officials, so he acted like this. Little did he know that this move actually killed my uncle. ..."
Cao Mao's eyes were full of sadness, "General, you don't know how scared I have been these days."
"I have known who you are for a long time. When I saw An Shi coming, I felt very excited. You are the only one who can protect me from others!"
Sima Zhao listened to Cao Mao's nonsense with a serious face.
He didn't believe a word of what Cao Mao said.
But after hearing what Cao Mao said, he couldn't help wiping his tears, "It's my fault that your Majesty is so frightened!"
"General!!"
"His Majesty!!!"
The monarch and his minister held each other's hands in emotion.
At least in terms of acting skills, Sima Zhao is better than Sima Shi and is on par with Cao Mao.
Sima Zhao said seriously: "Your Majesty has arrived in Luoyang. This is the safest place in the world. With your ministers here, no one will dare to harm you. You don't have to worry anymore. You must study hard in the future and don't be distracted. Study The ability to govern a country.”
"Sooner or later, your Majesty will still have to govern this world, and I will only be driven by the King."
"good!"
Cao Mao looked relieved.
"As for the general, your majesty doesn't have to worry. The general may seem harsh, but in fact he did it for the sake of the Wei Dynasty. He had no choice but to execute Xiahou Gong. The general felt uncomfortable because he was the general's wife and uncle. As for Pingyuanhou, That's the general's son-in-law, alas."
Sima Zhao sighed, "The matter of rehabilitating Xiahou Gong and others can be accomplished sooner or later."
"I am determined to complete this matter!!"
Sima Zhao's idea was very simple. When everyone was eliminated, the power was in his hands, and the dynasty could be changed, he could also properly show the kindness of the new dynasty and pardon some dead people.
After reluctantly walking out of here, Sima Zhao's expression returned to its original indifference.
He looked at the letter in his hand and sneered.
It's okay to be afraid... If I behave well and obey from now on, I might even be able to leave you with a whole body.
Sure enough, as long as everyone around him is taken away, he will be a confused boy and no threat.
........
Early the next morning, Wang Su was already ready and took Cao Mao to Luoyang.
The whole of Luoyang was ready to welcome the new emperor.
All officials are ready.
The carriage entered Luoyang from Xiye Gate. Hundreds of officials had already gathered on the south side of Xiye Gate, waiting for His Majesty's arrival.
This time, all civil and military officials have arrived, including Sima Zhao.
Cao Mao hurriedly got out of the car, ignored the ceremonial officer, and paid his respects to all officials.
When the carriage arrived at the stop door, Cao Mao hurriedly got off the carriage.
Everyone persuaded him to enter by car, but Cao Mao insisted on going with the officials.
"I was summoned by the Queen Mother and came here. How can I go by car to see the Queen Mother?"
Cao Mao went to the Taiji Hall with all the officials. The officials were waiting outside. Under the leadership of a ceremonial officer, he came to the East Hall.
Queen Mother Guo received the new emperor here.
The Queen Mother was dressed extremely gorgeously today, but her face was very ugly. She looked at Cao Mao with a straight face and her eyes were full of disgust.
Guo suffered a huge loss this time.
He originally wanted to continue his power in the palace by supporting Cao Mao.
As a result, before they received the news, Sima Division attacked overnight and controlled several members of the clan's military commanders, and Guo Jian was not in Luoyang.
After forcing Guo De to be killed, Sima Shi found the Queen Mother.
Naturally, it is still a typical Sima Shi style. Does the Queen Mother still want the Guo family to continue to exist?
If you want to, then don't cause trouble again, otherwise the Guo family will be executed in the name of Xiahou Xuan's rebellion.
Under such circumstances, the Queen Mother could not even contact her allies, and could not withstand Sima Shi's threats, so she directly agreed to him and ordered not to rehabilitate Xia Houxuan.
The Queen Mother, like Guo Jian, did not dare to blame Master Sima at all. Even if she had resentment, she did not dare to show it. She could only place this hatred on Cao Mao.
After losing a clan heir and losing face in front of wise ministers, Sima Wang divided their power, and the Guo family was seriously damaged.
Cao Mao walked up to the Queen Mother respectfully and paid homage to the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother!!!"
Queen Mother Guo's expression was extremely indifferent, she just stared at Cao Mao below without saying a word.
Cao Mao raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother, his eyes firm and without any flinching. The two just looked at each other.
The ceremonial officer narrowed his eyes and stared at them.
"Queen Mother! My great uncle died a worthy death!"
Cao Mao spoke first.
"What did you say?!"
Queen Mother Guo's eyes widened and her face turned red instantly.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected. However, my uncle died in order to bring justice to Xiahou for such a major matter. Everyone in the world admires his moral character and has great pity for his plight."
"My Guo family's reputation as a virtuous person has long been spread throughout the world."
"At first, I was afraid that ascending the throne would cause discord between you and the general, so I didn't dare to agree. Later, my uncle came to persuade me, and I agreed to him."
"It's just that the prince refused to see me several times when I visited, which wasted time."
"Later, a sage told me that I could do justice to Xiahou, so as to inform the world. It is not because of your incompetence in teaching. This has nothing to do with everyone, but is caused by thieves."
"I really didn't expect that this matter would have anything to do with my uncle."
"Not long after, someone tried to murder me again and almost died in the house."
"No matter what, my uncle died because of me. I failed your high expectations. If the Queen Mother blames me for this, I am willing to die to pay for it."
"It's just that I have always regarded you as my mother. If I were gone, I would be worried that no one would take care of you..."
Queen Mother Guo's expression did not improve. On the contrary, she seemed to be even more angry, her eyes full of sullenness.
"Queen Mother, I know that I am a man of few words, but all the ministers in the court can vouch for me. You can ask Duke Situ about the pros and cons. You will know after you ask!"
At this moment, Queen Mother Guo's anger subsided, Mr. Situ? ?
What's going on with Situ Gong here?
Cao Mao bowed again and said, "Queen Mother, my uncle is irritable and irritable. You can persuade him to calm down and then ask him about Yuancheng's affairs. I think you will gain something."
"My uncle died because of me, I will do my best to make up for my mistake!!"
Seeing Cao Mao kneeling in front of her, the Queen Mother finally regained her composure. As Cao Mao said, there is no resurrection after death, and Guo still had to find a way to change the current situation.
"Get up now."
ps: Hahaha, I feel like this book can be renamed "Those Years I Made Trouble at the Sima Family" or "The Great Wei Dynasty Begins from Being Angry to Death with Master Sima". The plot I think about every day is how to save my life and at the same time create trouble for Master Sima. He was so angry.
