Cao Mao woke up from his sleep, feeling very comfortable.
They all say that being an emperor is tiring, but the truth is that there are no wise ministers around.
For example, I have Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Sima Shi and others around me. They are either playing or eating and drinking every day. Why should I be tired?
It would be an understatement to say that I am happy but not thinking about Wei.
It is really my blessing to have these wise ministers in the temple.
Cao Mao laughed at himself, and then started to go through the process of meeting the Queen Mother.
The more he comes into contact with these people, the more Cao Mao looks down on them.
The Guo family gave him a bad feeling, cowardly and greedy.
They were very afraid of Master Sima, the reckless Guo Jian, and they did not dare to greet them in front of others.
The Queen Mother did not dare to accept her visit. Every time she paid a visit, she made herself bow outside.
But, these people are really greedy for profit.
They had been staring at Sima Wang's affairs all day, and Guo Li had come to ask him several times how the matter was progressing.
If they cower to the end and completely surrender to the Sima family, or if they go to the end and refuse to give up an inch of territory, Cao Mao will think that they are capable.
But if you have to be a fence-sitter, you are still the kind of fence-sitter who hates your allies.
Cao Mao was not in a hurry to summon Sima Wang anyway.
He originally wanted to get in touch with Liu Lu and others through Guo Jian, but now he has opened up the situation through Jiao Bo. In the future, more and more people will join his command. Even Gong Cao Mao, after Wei Wu, how can he follow you? Are the Guo family working together in collusion?
Nothing in the world is free, so I have to see some sincerity, right?
When Cao Mao came back from the Queen Mother, the servants in front and behind him still lowered their heads.
His chamberlain was replaced by another person, and Zhou Sheng disappeared.
Cao Mao asked Li Sheng, and Li Sheng told him that Zhou Sheng had returned home due to illness.
Of course Cao Mao was clear in his heart, but he still pretended to complain a few times.
A well-dressed queen from a famous family tried every possible means to build the country, but a eunuch from a lower class died for the persistence in his heart.
Cao Mao did not dare and could not express any thoughts about this. He could only hide these accounts in his heart and take revenge slowly.
But the attitudes of people around me have changed a lot.
People like Li Sheng and others no longer stare at themselves as they used to. Perhaps because of the embarrassment of being exposed for the first time, they always keep a distance and don't prick up their ears to listen to Cao Mao's story. .
This made Cao Mao very dissatisfied.
Master Sima asked you to monitor me, how could you be so negligent?
You cannot let down my general. The general's blessings depend on you people. How can you neglect him?
Since they no longer follow Cao Mao closely, Cao Mao also has the opportunity to be alone with them occasionally.
Uncle Jiao also took the opportunity to inform him of the progress of the matter.
Li Zhao has been attracted by him, and there are also more than ten guards, all of whom are close friends of Li Zhao and are willing to serve.
Cao Mao was overjoyed, and Uncle Jiao also deliberately created an opportunity for them to meet alone.
When Uncle Jiao ordered many of the servants to move things out, Cao Mao stood beside Li Zhao calmly.
"Li Jun...I learned the good news from Jiao Jun last night. I slept well last night."
"In the past, I always had trouble sleeping and eating, and I was frightened. Now, I don't have to be afraid anymore."
"I also have a tiger lord by my side."
Cao Mao looked ahead, not at Li Zhao beside him.
Li Zhao also lowered his head and kept his distance.
"Your Majesty... It is the king's duty to serve the king and pay his salary."
"Okay, my Tiger Marquis, next, you can continue to win over the guards in the palace. I don't care about their status, chamberlain, kitchen assistant, Huangmen, as long as they are trustworthy, you can win over them! I have absolute trust in the Tiger Marquis. of!"
Li Zhao's face turned red and he almost couldn't control his emotions.
He suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is someone I want to recommend, but I don't know..."
"There are not many opportunities. Just say what you say... Hey! Li Sheng! Keep that case! Don't move it!"
Cao Mao said to the distance.
Li Zhao then said: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Yin Damu was my former chief officer. In fact, he is not a traitor who seeks glory as outsiders say. In the past, he often taught us to be loyal to the king and not to be used by thieves. ..."
Cao Mao was stunned and suddenly woke up!
Yin Damu! ! !
This low-level person who betrayed Cao Shuang and was secretly laughed at by many people! !
Cao Mao knew him because of his strange name. This person did not have any long-term vision, because Sima Yi swore at Luoshui and believed his words, which led to Cao Shuang's tragedy.
And he has always felt extremely guilty in his heart, and vowed to avenge Cao Shuang.
Historically, he and Sima Shi fought together against Guanqiu Jian. Seeing that Sima Shi was very seriously ill, he took the initiative to tell Sima Shi: Wen Qin did not want to rebel, but Guan Qiujian forced him to do so. Please let me persuade him. surrender.
Master Sima agreed to him.
Yin Damu came to the battle and shouted: "Have Governor Wen seen me? Why can't you endure it for a few more days?"
This was when Yin Damu knew that Master Sima was dying and wanted to keep Wenqin, but Wenqin cursed him, saying that he was a traitor to his master, and was about to shoot him with a bow and arrow. Yin Damu howled, and then, he was gone. His whereabouts were most likely "disappeared" by Master Sima.
Cao Mao quickly locked onto one person in his mind, the captain who always avoided him when he saw him.
He thought it was strange before, but now he understands.
The other party was burdened with infamy, so he was ashamed and did not dare to meet him!
And he is now the lieutenant colonel of the palace... Although he is not as good as Guo Jian, the protective general, he has a combat unit of 800 people under his command, and he is still the 800 soldiers guarding Taiji Palace! !
Cao Mao's heart suddenly boiled.
If he could pull Yin Damu over, he would have a little bit of self-protection power in the palace. Moreover, since Yin Damu had a bad reputation, the people of the Sima family trusted him very much and believed that he would never be trusted by the Cao family. win over.
Cao Mao's mood suddenly became excited.
Li Zhao was very confused at this moment.
He knew that his former chief officer was by no means a villain who betrayed his master, but His Majesty might not believe him... He might even lose His Majesty's trust in the future.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. Shouldn't he mention this?
"Good Tiger Marquis!"
"When Sima Yi Luoshui farted, this was something that no one could have imagined. It was definitely not the fault of the school captain. I know that the school captain was raised by the Cao family and is an elder of my clan! He has a subordinate Why should I hesitate for someone like Hu Hou?"
"Hu Hou can tell the truth, but you must be careful. The Sima family has eyes and ears all over the palace..."
As Cao Mao spoke, he walked in the direction of Li Sheng and others.
Li Zhao was speechless. ,
I can only say in my heart: Wei! ! !
Cao Mao was talking nonsense with Li Sheng and others, but he was thinking about the ministers who were worthy of trust.
Yin Damu counts as one. Besides Yin Damu, there is also Wang Jing.
Although Wang Jing also had the surname Wang, he was not from a wealthy family. He was from a wealthy farmer. He was later promoted to an official position because he was appreciated by his fellow villager Cui Lin.
He and Guanqiu Jian are known as the last loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty.
At this moment, he is still serving as the prefect of Jiangxia. Soon, he will serve as the governor of Yongzhou. Then he was beaten violently by Jiang Wei, and then he served as the lieutenant of Sili in the temple. He was very loved by Cao Mao.
Before the incident, Cao Mao contacted Wang Chen, who was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Ye, who was born in the Wang family in Gaoyang, and Wang Jing, who was a farmer, and asked them to help him.
Wang Jing asked Cao Mao to be patient and plan carefully before taking action, but Cao Mao obviously couldn't wait any longer.
Immediately, the two nobles went out to report to the Queen Mother, and wanted to take Wang Jing with them, but Wang Jing did not agree.
Finally, Sima Zhao executed him.
Before being executed, Wang Jing was taken to plead guilty to his mother. Her mother told him: Who will not die? A worthy death!
What's funny is that two wealthy men who were well-connected to Wei En betrayed Cao Mao, while Wang Jing, who was born as a farmer, kept his moral bottom line.
Cao Mao sat in the mansion and looked at the guards around him.
The way they looked at Cao Mao was different from the past.
Cao Mao laughed.
There is no shortage of loyal and righteous people in the world. These people who are looked down upon by aristocratic families have trampled on those who despise them in terms of personality.
This time, I want to lead them, not only to trample those people's souls, but also to trample those people's bodies! !
