"General...please allow me to rest for a few days."
Jia Chong stood in front of Sima Zhao, his face extremely pale.
This is due to both Cao Mao and his family.
In the study, Sima Zhao had many documents in front of him. His life was obviously not easy. When his brother was away from Luoyang, he finally saw the true appearance of ministers who were usually harmless to humans and animals.
Looking at Jia Chong in front of him, Sima Zhao had obviously heard about what happened in his family. He shook his head and sighed: "My condolences, Mr. Jia."
Jia Chong's only son Jia Limin died.
The reason for his death was also very simple. After the wet nurse was killed, the child was so frightened that he followed the wet nurse without eating or drinking.
Perhaps, there are other reasons.
However, neither Sima Zhao nor Jia Chong was obviously willing to continue to delve into this matter.
Just because Jia Chong's wife's surname was Guo.
It would be false to say that Jia Chong was not sad at all, but it may not be true to say that he could not continue to work because of his son's affairs.
Jia Chong really didn't want to continue his job of supervising Cao Mao.
When Sima Zhao asked him to handle this matter, Jia Chong was quite happy, thinking that this was a good way for him to get closer to the Sima family and continue to climb the ladder.
It is better to do ten good things to the general than to do one bad thing to him.
But the problem is, Cao Mao is by no means a kind person.
Since he started supervising him, Jia Chong has been getting further and further away from his dream.
The Zhuge Dan incident made his efforts over the years go to waste, and he was directly put on Sima Zhao's blacklist.
And Cao Mao sent people to summon him from time to time.
Jia Chong also thought about killing Cao Mao, but under the current circumstances, he seemed unable to do so.
Faced with this situation, Jia Chong simply chose to give up.
Even if you can't get any credit, you can't throw your life away here.
Now the ministers don't like me, and the generals don't like me. If I continue to mess around like this, won't my head be lost?
Jia Chong still has a good judgment on the situation.
He lowered his head sadly, and his body was shaky, as if he was about to fall down at any time.
This was not his elaborate disguise. The death of his only son did give him a certain blow. When he learned the bad news, Zhou Sheng's word "God's punishment" kept echoing in his mind, making Jia Chong almost crazy.
In addition, Cao Mao's talkativeness has caused Jia Chong's workload to seriously exceed the standard. Jia Chong now sleeps less than three hours a day and wakes up with a huge headache every day. If this continues, he is afraid that he will be punished by the little emperor. gone.
For these reasons, Jia Chong chose to temporarily withdraw and wait and see.
It's better to wait honestly for the general to come back. He is the general's confidant, but General Zhengxi may not trust him...
Sima Zhao had an even worse headache.
Although there are many talents under his command, they are all busy dealing with various matters. At present, he cannot find anyone to replace Jia Chong.
Currently, there are only two people around Sima Zhao who are free.
One is Du Yu and the other is Yang Zong.
Du Yu wanted to stay and advise him. Sima Zhao had to deal with the ministers without him.
As for Yang Zong... Sima Zhao knew his character very well. He used to be an official next to Cao Mao, so how could he be willing to monitor Cao Mao? Such an order will drive this talent to death.
Sima Zhao's methods were very crude compared to his elder brother.
But he is quite good at using people and knows where the people around him can be used.
The talents he has accumulated and promoted are no worse than those of his brother.
He hesitated and said: "Master Jia, logically speaking, if something like this happens, you should be allowed to rest, but I can't live without you."
"The prince said that he wanted to resign, and now you say that you want to rest. Will all the wise men in the world abandon me?"
What Sima Zhao said was very sad.
But Jia Chong was not moved at all.
"General, that's not the case. I just want to take some rest and deal with things at home. Now that I'm upset, it's really not good..."
"Jia Gong!!"
Sima Zhao held Jia Chong's hand affectionately.
"How could I not know your difficulties? But I really can't live without you. You have lost your son. I can understand your feelings. I am willing to let my son serve you like he serves me!"
Jia Chong looked at Sima Zhao very moved.
"General!!"
"Jia Gong!!"
The two looked at each other lovingly.
Sima Zhao even said such shameless words, how could Jia Chong dare to refuse? If I refuse again, am I afraid that I will have to go and say hello to my father?
After seeing Jia Chong off, Sima Zhao's face turned gloomy again.
"First it was Wang Su, then Hua Biao, and now it's you Jia Chong... Do you really think that temples are a place where you can come and leave as you please?"
"When my brother was still here, he didn't say a word. Why is it that when I came to power, he was so anxious to leave?"
A fierce light flashed in Sima Zhao's eyes.
"Here comes someone! Prepare the car! I'm going to see the prince!"
When Sima Zhao arrived at Wang Su's residence, Wang Su also came to greet him personally.
Although Wang Su was Sima Zhao's father-in-law, he did not dare to act like an elder in front of Sima Zhao.
Wang Su felt that Sima Zhao was sometimes more dangerous than his brother.
Although Master Sima was ruthless, he knew how to be patient and balanced. Sima Zhao seemed gentle, but he was easily taken advantage of and had no regard for the consequences.
For Sima Shi, killing is just a means of intimidation, but for Sima Zhao, it is a means to solve all problems...
Sima Zhao was still enthusiastic.
"I heard that my father-in-law was unwell, so I came here to visit... I wonder how he is doing now?"
"Sigh, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to serve as Taichang, and I'll live up to the high expectations of the temple."
Wang Su said, his face full of exhaustion.
Ever since he was ordered to greet the emperor, he had been tricked by Cao Mao. At this age, he was frightened by Cao Mao. He still wanted to live to be the Third Duke. He didn't want to die so early. He might as well retreat and wait and see. , and then make a decision.
In this regard, he and Jia Chong have similar ideas.
Sima Zhao's face was filled with sadness, "My father-in-law, it's my fault that I have made you tired!"
"This is too common. It doesn't matter if you don't do it. You have to put your body first!"
"What should we do if you fall ill?"
Wang Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude towards Sima Zhao became much gentler.
Sima Zhao then started chatting with Wang Su about family affairs, talking about Sima You and Sima Yan. The more Wang Su heard about it, the more solemn his face became. Why did he think that this guy had other ideas?
Sure enough, Sima Zhao immediately said: "My father-in-law! This is too common, let others do it, but there is one thing that you must do in person!"
"This is a major event related to the future, and it must be done by you!"
Looking at Sima Zhao's righteous and Lingran appearance.
Wang Su was stunned.
Why do I have a bad feeling...
.........
"My son, Cao Mao, came to see the Queen Mother!"
Cao Mao came to Zhaoyang Palace as usual. The servants in front of the palace raised their heads. Even in front of the emperor Cao Mao, they never put away their arrogance.
The palace belongs to the Guo family, and these old chamberlains who accompany the queen are all extremely arrogant.
The old chamberlain standing in front of the palace was actually named Guo.
With the current status of the Guo family, it was unlikely that a member of the clan would become an eunuch. Cao Mao thought that this person might have become an eunuch before the Queen Mother was pardoned.
Now that Mr. Guo has been pardoned, Mr. Guo’s bird will never come back.
This probably also stimulated this person, making him always look so annoying.
"The Queen Mother has an order! You can meet me outside the palace!"
Husband Guo spoke in a long voice, without even looking at Cao Mao.
Uncle Jiao felt that all the anger in his body was burning, old dog! !
Not even Sima Zhao dared to do this! !
Cao Mao was unmoved. He just took a deep look at the domineering husband Guo and asked, "Aren't you going to ask the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother has already given the order! No need to ask!"
Cao Mao smiled, saluted towards Zhaoyang Palace, turned and left.
Husband Guo was still standing here, seemingly extremely proud of his great feat of scaring away the emperor.
Cao Mao turned around and walked away. This time, even Li Sheng couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty!! This is really too much!"
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem!"
Cao Mao chuckled and asked them not to discuss this matter anymore.
Seeing such an outstanding eunuch beside the Queen Mother, Cao Mao was extremely happy.
Such a person is great, maybe he will be useful someday!
Cao Mao became happier the more he thought about it.
When he came to the west hall, he looked up.
Wang Su was standing in front of him.
