"Your Majesty... Sima Hui and Sima Ma are here to monitor you. Please don't trust them!"
Cao Mao was a little confused.
At this moment, the four eunuchs who had been arranged by Zhong Huisu were surrounding Cao Mao, and Xu Sheng took the lead in saying this.
"They often ask their slaves to copy out His Majesty's words and give them to them..."
As soon as Cao Mao got up, the four chamberlains gave him a hard job and blew himself up.
Xu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "These traitors are bullying people too much!!"
"You are..."
Cao Mao looked at them blankly.
Xu Sheng said seriously: "Your Majesty...these traitors treat us like pigs and dogs. We are all acquaintances with the original Li Sheng, Zhou Sheng and others. What mistake did they commit that they will be punished by the whole family?"
"The slave heard that Sima Hui was talking to Sima in private, saying that in a while, the slave and others would be replaced again..."
Xu Sheng's eyes were a little desperate.
"We have never committed any mistakes. Even if we are killed, we really don't want to drag down the clan. We just hope that Your Majesty can save us!"
Cao Mao fell silent immediately.
Cao Mao felt how much Zhong Hui despised these people very early. This was not an occasional situation. Even Jia Chong looked down upon these eunuchs at all.
Because of the last leak, Zhong Hui was very distrustful of the eunuchs in the palace.
Therefore, they decided to replace the people around the emperor from time to time... and what would happen if they were replaced, Li Sheng, Zhou Sheng and others have demonstrated it with their own lives.
Cao Mao originally thought that those people were just killed, but he didn't expect that Zhong Hui would not even spare their clan members.
Cutting off the roots? ?
Why is this so? ?
Are the lives of these lower-class people really so worthless? ?
A fierce light flashed in Cao Mao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He looked helplessly at the four people in front of him, "If what you said is true, then how can I save you?"
Xu Sheng hurriedly begged: "If Zhong Hui wants to change the slave, please ask Your Majesty to speak and keep the slave... I have never done any bad things, and I really don't deserve such retribution..."
The other three people couldn't help but shed tears.
The replacement that Zhong Hui is talking about is not just about replacing four people. The last replacement was to replace all the officials in the palace. Among them, the eunuchs were the worst. From those in charge of meals, to those in charge of cleaning, to those in charge of clothes, Almost all the eunuchs who were responsible for washing and had direct contact with Cao Mao were secretly disposed of... Zhong Hui was more connivant with the scholar-bureaucrats, but for these people, he really treated them like pigs and dogs and killed them. Anyway, he could still kill them. Change another batch, no matter how much you kill, it won't have any impact, they are just some despicable and unsexy things.
Such behavior naturally caused uneasiness among many eunuchs. Their job is to take care of the emperor. If you want to kill someone for the crime of contacting the emperor, how can we continue to do this job?
Of course, they had no way out. This job was not something you could resign if you wanted to. Previously, there was an eunuch who escaped. After being caught, he was beheaded in public in the street, and he didn't even bother to accuse him of being a Shu spy.
This is an era of indiscriminate killing, and those with power can deal with the lower class people at will without any restrictions.
Cao Mao sighed and said helplessly: "If my words are useful, how can Li Sheng and others die?"
Xu Sheng and others became increasingly desperate.
They thought that as long as they worked with peace of mind and did not participate in anything, they would survive... But after hearing Sima's words in reply, these eunuchs immediately collapsed. It turns out that the only outcome is that one of them will die! !
Cao Mao looked at the despair on their faces and spoke again.
"Let's do this. You first pass this news to the many chamberlains in the palace and look for those who are trustworthy. There are only a few people who are naturally unable to fight against Zhong Hui and others. If the chamberlains in the entire palace can work together, Zhong Hui may not be able to kill easily, no matter what, I will do my best to protect you!"
Xu Sheng and others were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Cao Mao has become their only life-saving straw at this moment. No matter how effective this straw can be, they are unwilling to give up.
In these years, they have never met a king like Cao Mao.
The kings of the Cao Wei Dynasty hated eunuchs very much. This was a habit left over from Cao Cao's time. Cao Cao was also involved in the killing of eunuchs. He had killed relatives of eunuchs. It was rumored that he also assassinated Zhang. let....
In addition, the eunuchs around Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty were also dishonest, which resulted in Cao Cao never changing his view on the eunuch group.
When it came to Cao Pi, he was even more extreme. He took away all the power of the eunuchs and distributed them to the wealthy families... This led to the weird situation in the Wei and Jin Dynasties where the children of high-ranking families came to the palace to take care of the emperor.
Cao Rui and Cao Fang were not interested in eunuchs either. In other words, they did not want to affect their reputation in Shilin. After all, they had to rely on the powerful clans to govern the world.
Cao Mao is different. He doesn't care at all whether contact with these eunuchs will affect his reputation. He is very gentle to them, often expresses his care and love, and never abuses them. Although his attitude towards eunuchs is not as good as that of the souls who regard eunuchs as their parents. Emperor, but it is much better than Cao Wei and others.
The eunuchs were naturally extremely supportive of the new emperor. They could not imagine that if the new emperor really took control of the real power, would the situation in the palace return to that of the late Han Dynasty?
The period of Shi Chang Shi was so desirable.
It wasn't until Sima Hui's voice came from outside that the four people stopped talking and hurriedly stood on both sides of Cao Mao, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Cao Mao was in a good mood at the moment.
He ascended the throne in early October, and it has already been more than January.
In this short period of time, even though he was suppressed twice, he still did a lot of things.
In addition to killing Jia Chong, he also had his own manpower in various places, which messed up the current situation...
Cao Mao's biggest worry before was that he couldn't get in touch with his own people everywhere. He always wanted to have a relationship with his uncle, but now, if he can conquer the eunuch group in the palace, he doesn't have to worry!
Although these people have no power and cannot compete with the soldiers outside, they are distributed throughout the palace and are well-informed. Moreover, there are eunuchs who specially go out of the palace to purchase supplies. Eunuchs can leave the palace. !
If we can gather them together, why do we still need to take risks to find our uncle?
If we could get in touch with Yin Damu, Li Zhao, Jiao Bo, Liu Lu, Guanqiudian, Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Guo Ji and others outside...
Cao Mao narrowed his eyes. In the past, he always hoped that Master Sima would die soon, but now, he hopes that Master Sima can live for a while. If Master Sima is still alive, they will not rush to attack him, then he can Winning over more people... When Master Sima died of illness, Sima Zhao realized that he might have the confidence to challenge him.
"His Majesty!"
Sima Hui's voice broke Cao Mao's fantasy.
Sima smiled back and said, "Your Majesty, please be prepared. The teacher arranged by the temple for you has arrived."
"oh??"
After Cao Mao washed and changed his clothes, he walked out of the west hall, and his study place was arranged in the east hall.
Historically, Cao Mao often gathered celebrities in the East Hall of Tai Chi Hall to drink and have fun, and also studied and studied there.
When Cao Mao came to the east hall, there was an old man waiting for him.
This man was dressed simply and was younger than Wang Su and others. He looked at Cao Mao with a smile, which was different from the celebrities and wise ministers Cao Mao had seen.
The first reaction of the so-called celebrities and wise ministers when they saw Cao Mao was panic, fearing that they would be involved in some trouble by him, so they either avoided or prevaricated.
But now, this person's eyes were filled with appreciation and no worries at all.
He even looked a little impatient.
Seeing Cao Mao arriving, he quickly got up and bowed to see Cao Mao with a smile.
This man has a very strong build and looks like a military commander.
"Your Majesty, Wang Xiang, pays homage to your Majesty."
Wang Xiang? ?
Lying on the ice looking for carp? ?
Of course Cao Mao knows this person. Although this family is nothing today, it cannot be compared with Wang Su, Zhong Hui, Xun Xu and others, but in the future...
I won’t mention those small two thousand stones, let’s just talk about three people.
Wang Dao, Wang Dun, Wang Xizhi.
Yes, these three people are from the Langya Wang family where Wang Xiang is now.
The king and the horse share the world.
The man in front of him was the founder of the Wang family who shared the world with Sima.
