"The people are living in a world of ice and snow, with no clothes or houses, and all the officials in the court tell lies."
Sima Yan was kneeling in front of Sima Zhao, slowly describing what he had learned in these days.
Sima Zhao's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
"So I have to go to various places personally and secretly to see what the real situation is like."
"Don't be deceived by these people"
Sima Yan honestly stated what Cao Mao taught.
Sima Zhao's heart at this moment was extremely complicated.
Frankly speaking, the emperor's words were not wrong. He was right. He really couldn't trust these ministers. He really couldn't care too much about fame. He really had to take more care of the people at the bottom. He really had to see what he saw. All of these were right. Sima Yan was also very pleased that he could learn these things.
But the question is, why do you teach my son? ?
Is it really just your wife that I will support? ?
Do you even have to learn this? ?
Sima Zhao could not get over his feelings for a long time when his own enemies came to help tutor his son.
He was confused.
He looked at Du Yu beside him blankly and asked, "Yuan Kai, what do you think His Majesty wants to do?"
Du Yu didn't need Sima Zhao to be any better at this moment, he was also confused.
As powerful as Du Yu, he can't see into the emperor's heart. Is he helping the enemy cultivate a successor? ? ?
Sima Yan glanced at Du Yu and said: "Your Majesty also told me that the only person who can be trusted and reused in the temple is Du Jun."
Du Yu's eyes widened.
Sima Zhao also fell silent.
Sima Yan asked in a low voice: "Father, is what your Majesty said wrong?"
"I"
Sima Zhao's face turned red, "Yes, everything he said is right."
"Get out of here!"
"only."
Sima Yan lowered his head and left. Sima Zhao looked at Du Yu again, still wanting to get an answer from Du Yu.
Du Yu was silent for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty may want to contact the celebrities through the young master, so as to recruit more celebrities for his own use."
"If you want to do this, you just need to make Anshi famous. Why do you need such teaching?"
"possible"
Du Yu had a vague idea in his mind, but he didn't know how to express it.
"Yuan Kai, feel free to speak out."
"Your Majesty cares about the people of the world, thinking that if something happens to the general, he will definitely be dismissed, so he wants to leave a wise man for the people of the world."
Sima Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed.
"Hahaha, you dare to think, you can come up with such ridiculous reasons, hahaha~~"
Sima Zhao laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, but Du Yu was calm and said nothing.
Du Yu felt more and more that his idea was right, otherwise he would not be able to explain this matter at all. But thinking that he had to deal with such a person who had the world in mind, Du Yu felt unspeakably uncomfortable and felt more and more guilty. It was so intense that it made him feel extremely depressed.
Sima Zhao laughed for a long time and then stopped.
"No matter what he is thinking, he is definitely trying to do harm to my family. It seems that we have to let Shi Ji strengthen his control over him and not allow him to cause trouble as he pleases."
Sima Zhao just said a few words when someone hurried in.
"General Xuande is here again and wants to see you."
Sima Zhao's face was full of disdain.
During these days, Guo Li came to visit him again and again, but Sima Zhao never met him.
"Let them go back!"
"Just say I'm not in the house!"
Du Yu asked strangely: "General Xuande is here, why doesn't the general see him?"
"Oh, they came to me because of Guo Zi's matter. I already have a lot of things on my hands. Where can I find the time to accompany them to relieve their boredom?"
"General, no matter how big or small, don't take it lightly."
Du Yu persuaded, Sima Zhao was stunned, and then said to his subordinates: "Let them come in."
Sima Zhao looked at Du Yu again and said, "Yuan Kai, you have been busy all day. Please go back and rest first. Guan Qiu Jian will trouble you more."
Du Yu passed by Guo Li and others.
The two of them didn't interact much, and they never saluted each other.
"General!!"
Guo Li hurriedly bowed to see Sima Zhao.
Guo Zhi followed closely behind.
Sima Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, his face full of shame, "These days, I have been busy with the affairs of rebels in various places. You have come several times and failed to greet them in time. It is really my fault. !”
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Guo Li hurriedly spoke, and then said seriously: "It's all because of the incompetence of my family that made my subordinates do such a thing. When we catch him, General, please don't show mercy, he will definitely be severely punished!"
"How can this be possible? He is just being coerced."
Sima Zhao invited them to sit down and greeted them warmly.
Guo Li was very helpful.
And I feel even more resentful toward the Queen Mother. Even General Zhengxi is so polite to me. How dare you drive us out? ?
With a straight face, he said to Sima Zhao seriously: "General, something big has happened!"
"Ah? What happened?"
"Cao Mao has bewitched the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is not even willing to see us anymore. She wanders around the palace all day, becoming more and more arrogant and rude. Cao Mao seems to want to coerce the Queen Mother and be unfavorable to the general!"
Hearing Guo Li's words, the smile on Sima Zhao's face immediately disappeared.
"Your Majesty? Bewitching the Queen Mother?"
Guo Li hurriedly told Sima Zhao truthfully what happened during this period, without concealing anything.
"How cunning Cao Mao is. We don't know what methods he used. The Queen Mother is now obeying his words and completely ignoring us. If this continues, something big will happen!"
Listening to the stories of Guo Li and others, Sima Zhao's face became increasingly ugly.
Why can't I just spend the day in peace? Even just for a day?
The matter of summoning Guanqiu Jian has not been resolved yet, and now something has happened in the palace, the Queen Mother.
Sima Zhao only felt a headache.
The reason why the Sima family was able to rise so quickly was inseparable from the great kindness of Emperor Wen and Emperor Ming. These two people fully learned from the lessons of the late Han Dynasty and put great restrictions on the harem to prevent it. The possibility of interfering with the temple.
Probably because he wanted to prevent his relatives from interfering with the government from recurring.
These two people can be said to restrict everything, restricting the clan, restricting the eunuchs, restricting the queen, but not restricting the family.
Under such circumstances, the rise of aristocratic families is inevitable.
The first queen of Emperor Cao Rui of the Ming Dynasty was Empress Mao. Once, Cao Rui and Mrs. Guo went out to play. Empress Mao was afraid of Cao Rui just because she asked, "Did you enjoy playing with Mrs. Guo today?" Cao Rui Thinking that someone had leaked the secret, he killed more than a dozen of his followers, and then had Empress Mao killed.
It seems that he does not want his queen to be too strong. He needs a weak and less resourceful person to be his queen, such as Queen Guo.
From this point of view, the Cao family is self-inflicted. The sins committed by previous generations must be repaid by Cao Mao.
After Queen Mother Guo encountered such a thing, she naturally formed her current character, timid, cowardly, insecure, and lacking in self-confidence.
The rapid rise of the Sima family was also thanks to such a queen mother.
If Queen Mother Guo were stronger, the Sima family's path to power would not be so simple.
But now, Queen Mother Guo and Cao Mao are standing together, which is a bit scary.
The more Sima Zhao thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at Guo Li who was chattering in front of him, he really wanted to drag this idiot out and chop his head off so that the Queen Mother would know who should not be offended.
He is also very angry at these losers. Cao Mao is an outsider. You just watch Cao Mao pull the Queen Mother away from you?
waste! !
"alright!"
Sima Zhao interrupted Guo Li angrily.
Guo Li looked at him in astonishment. Sima Zhao calmed down and then said: "We must not let the Queen Mother go astray. General Xuande, after all, you are of the same clan as the Queen Mother. No matter how angry the Queen Mother is, she will never ignore you. How about you?" Go find her again, bow your head to show her kindness, stay by her side, and watch her every move."
"impossible!"
Guo Li interrupted Sima Zhao and said proudly: "How can we bow to the Queen Mother? If we go to find her now, she will think we are afraid of her!"
Sima Zhao's heart boiled with murderous intent, and he stared coldly at Guo Li in front of him.
Guo Zhi realized something was wrong and hurriedly pulled Guo Li. Guo Li said helplessly: "But if it is the order of General Zhengxi, we must complete it."
Sima Zhao then laughed and said, "I feel so relieved that you can think like this. Mr. Guo, please don't offend the Queen Mother again. You should comfort her. Don't let her be bullied by villains. Ask her as much as possible." , see what she wants to do, and gain her trust. When you find out about her plan, you must tell her in time, and I will never treat you badly!"
Sima Zhao said, stood up and saluted Guo Li again.
"General, I dare not accept your courtesy!"
"I will never live up to your high expectations!"
Guo Li said solemnly, and finally said goodbye to Sima Zhao.
When they walked out, Sima Zhao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
When things calm down, I will throw you stupid pigs into the Hun clan and drown them! !
Guo Li, who walked out of here, looked very proud.
"You see, I have already said that Sima Zhao would not dare to be rude to us. He is also afraid that if we vote for the emperor now, then all the troops in the palace will belong to Cao Mao. How can Sima Zhao rest assured? ? He will definitely find a way to win over us!"
"The Queen Mother is a stupid woman after all. She actually believed in that Cao Mao!"
"The Sima family is so tyrannical, how can they deal with it? Just wait and see, one day the Queen Mother will beg for our forgiveness, and she will definitely regret it!"
