"Of course, all this will have to wait until Master Sima dies of illness."
"If he were alive, he wouldn't be able to win over these people in a big way."
"Mother, you can give orders, but what I have here are ideas to win over the officials."
Queen Mother Guo was still in a state of shock and speechless.
Cao Mao said confidently: "I know my mother still has some concerns. Let's do this. After a while, I will ask Wang Xiang to visit you in person and let him come and tell you. You can rest assured. General Xuande is nothing. I will make all the generals from all four expeditions loyal to you!"
For some reason, the sense of crisis in Queen Mother Guo's heart seemed to dissipate a little.
Although she still didn't quite believe the man in front of her.
However, if Lieutenant Sili can really stand on his side, it seems that he does not need to be too afraid.
Queen Mother Guo got to know the young man in front of her again.
She asked in shock: "Did you think of all this yourself?"
Cao Mao smiled and said, "This is all what Guo Jun told me when I was in Yuancheng. Guo Jun judged the current situation very early and taught me a lot in advance, including this sudden rebellion, which was also in our It’s in the plan, just wait and see!”
"Mom, these things must be kept secret and cannot be told to anyone, not even my uncle!"
Queen Mother Guo deeply believed in this.
The two chatted about other things, and Cao Mao just bowed and left.
The worry in Queen Mother Guo's eyes was much less, and the smile on Cao Mao's face was also much brighter.
What I said to Queen Mother Guo was half true and half false.
Many of them are just random fabrications, but they are enough to deceive this short-witted Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is a very sensitive and timid person, and she needs someone to protect her, even if it is only in name.
She didn't even dare to offend her own clan.
You know, the Guo family at this moment is completely supported by her alone.
Otherwise, with the current strength of the Guo family, how can it be worthy of competing with other big families?
You haven't even seen a third party in your family, but you still have the nerve to come out and say hello to everyone?
But these idiots from the Guo family really don't understand the situation. A group of guys who rely on women to get to the top can never clearly see their own position.
Guo Li and Guo Zhi dared to reprimand Queen Mother Guo, and even He Jin, who was born in a small household, did not dare to reprimand his own sister.
As long as I can give the Queen Mother a greater sense of security, it won't be a big problem to pull her out of the Guo family.
The relationship between Queen Mother Guo and her tribe was not as good as imagined.
After returning to the west hall, Cao Mao did not run around anymore, but got ready with peace of mind.
The next day, Wang Xiang came to the east hall very early to prepare for today's lecture.
But this time, Cao Mao did not give Wang Xiang a chance to explain those great principles.
"Teacher, the Queen Mother wants to treat you as too normal."
Cao Mao went straight to the topic.
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What did your Majesty say?"
"Teacher, are you in a bad situation these days?"
Cao Mao suddenly asked.
Wang Xiang frowned and said nothing.
Cao Mao said seriously: "I was framed."
"I have never met Xun Xu. I don't even know when he became a Sanqi."
"I think someone thinks your reputation is too high and wants to take action against you."
Wang Xiang was indeed having a rough time these days. Just yesterday, he was blocked by several imperial students. The imperial students dared to question him face to face, why he didn't teach the emperor well and why he made the emperor want to be close to eunuchs.
Wang Xiang has always used others to gain fame. This was the first time that someone used him to gain fame. Wang Xiang naturally ignored those people.
But his current mood is indeed not very good.
Cao Mao continued: "Teacher, have you ever thought about becoming Taichang?"
Wang Xiang shook his head, "How can I be qualified to be the head of the Nine Ministers if I have little talent and little knowledge?"
Cao Mao said seriously: "Teacher, the Queen Mother values you very much. Maybe you still remember what I told you before."
"The Queen Mother's clan has completely broken up with the Queen Mother. They don't come to see the Queen Mother. They think they have contacted some people in private. The Queen Mother is now alone and she needs help."
"I really want to help my mother, but I don't have the ability. But you are different. Your reputation is known to the world. This is your advantage. But at the same time, you will also offend many people in the court. What's going on in your heart? Most clearly."
"The Queen Mother is kind-hearted. At least she has no conflict of interest with you."
"Yesterday, I went to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knew that you were my teacher. She said many times that she wanted to meet you, and she also said that she wanted you to serve as Taichang."
"I'm just responsible for delivering messages to the Queen Mother."
"Teacher, do you still remember the policies I mentioned in the past?"
"I can't implement these policies, and you can't implement them alone. However, if there is a queen mother who can issue formal edicts, wouldn't the situation be different?"
If it were anyone else, Cao Mao would not tell him so straightforwardly.
But Wang Xiang, he is different. He is courageous, has the ambition to climb up, and he is also very capable.
Cao Mao did not deceive him. If Wang Xiang wanted to continue to climb up, become the leader of the ministers, and make his family the first aristocratic family, there would be nothing better than implementing the benevolent government mentioned by Cao Mao earlier. However, Wang Xiang's position wanted to It is still very difficult to implement such a big policy, but if there is a queen mother who can give orders, the situation will naturally be different.
The Queen Mother's edict was far more effective than Cao Mao's.
For example, if Cao Mao now orders the Chinese army to kill Sima Division, the result may be that the order is intercepted by the Sima family before it reaches the Chinese army, and then he is killed and abolished.
But if the Queen Mother ordered the Chinese army to kill Sima Division, it might really cause a commotion in the Chinese army. Of course, the result might still be that the Sima family would forcefully suppress them and then be deposed and killed, but this was an effective edict.
Wang Xiang's original Guang Luxun was directly canonized by the Queen Mother. If it were Cao Mao, what could he be canonized? He couldn't even decide on the list of servants around him.
It turned out that Cao Mao just drew a cake, but the Queen Mother could make the cake.
Wang Xiang hesitated as expected.
Of course, this is a very risky move. The Queen Mother can issue an edict, but compared to the power of the Sima family, it is completely inadequate.
If you officially become a minister of the Queen Mother, you will be severely suppressed by the Sima family.
Unless he can contact the ministers in the court in advance before the Sima family reacts, forming a powerful force that makes the Sima family dare not take action easily.
Wang Xiang thought carefully and did not rush to make a decision.
Cao Mao smiled and said, "Teacher, don't worry."
"No matter what ideas we have, we have to wait until Master Sima dies of illness. If he is still there, we will not be able to succeed. Therefore, there is no need to make a decision in a hurry. But I still hope that you can see the Queen Mother and comfort her. Just treat it as... There is no way for the Sima family to deal with you just because you met the Queen Mother, right?"
"If you think it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Wang Xiang raised his head at this moment and formally looked at Cao Mao in front of him.
"What exactly does Your Majesty want to do?"
"Reviving the Wei Dynasty."
"The Wei Dynasty is prosperous, how can we say ZTE is resurgence?"
Wang Xiang asked rhetorically.
Cao Mao's eyes flashed with disappointment and he sighed.
"Your Majesty should say that he wants to take back his power."
Wang Xiang said the next sentence.
Cao Mao raised his head in shock and saw Wang Xiang's bright eyes.
"Actually, even if Your Majesty doesn't say anything, I'm still going to take the initiative to mention this matter. When I first saw Your Majesty, I knew that Your Majesty is a holy king who is rare to meet in the ages."
"Your Majesty's thoughts are all for the prosperity of the world, which I really admire."
"Your Majesty trusts you so much today and tells you the truth. How can I dare to let you down?"
Cao Mao said nothing. He quickly stood up and bowed to Wang Xiangfu.
"Thank you teacher!"
Wang Xiang hurriedly helped him up, and then said seriously: "As your Majesty said, you must not be anxious about this matter. Please don't talk to anyone about it. Don't worry, let me take care of it. If the Queen Mother is needed, If the place is located, I will inform Your Majesty directly, and Your Majesty will inform the Queen Mother. Of course, I will choose a date to visit the Queen Mother and appease the Queen Mother."
Cao Mao nodded, "Everything is as the teacher said!"
Cao Mao didn't believe in Wang Xiang's character, but he believed in Wang Xiang's ability.
Who is the Guo family? Only people like Wang Xiang can be called strong reinforcements!
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many heroes and talents, and heroes from all walks of life were fighting for the upper limit. But in the Three Kingdoms, it seemed that the essence was exhausted, and everyone began to fight for the lower limit. The Three Kingdoms were in a mess, just comparing themselves to each other.
Like top talents, such as Sima Shi, he is indeed very strong and powerful, but if compared with Zhuge Wuhou, Xun Lingjun, Lu Dadudu, or his father Sima Yi, then he is slightly inferior.
But this kind of person is already invincible at the moment.
Wang Xiang is also not a top talent, but compared to the drug-addled madmen in the temple and running around naked, he can be considered a powerful and helpful helper.
