Cao Mao finally lost his composure this time.
Want to marry Guo De's widow to me? !
How dare the old thief do this? !
Cao Mao wants to accept the legacy of Emperor Liezu. What legacy does Emperor Liezu have? To put it most bluntly, Guanqiu Jian.
Cao Mao knew how loyal Guanqiu Jian was to Emperor Liezu.
With the Queen Mother as my mother and Emperor Liezu as my father, I can fully accept the political legacy left by Emperor Liezu.
Compared with Cao Fang, the successor whose origin is a mystery, he is the son of Cao Rui's favorite brother, and is more qualified to inherit Cao Rui's career than him.
But if he marries Guo De's wife.
Then can I still legitimately take the Queen Mother as my mother? ?
Marrying his uncle's widow? ?
Is that human being?
Cao Mao narrowed his eyes. It was not that there was no solution. After all, Guo De was adopted to someone else. As long as he was still Zhen De and not Guo De, it wouldn't be a big deal.
However, Zhen De was transformed back into Guo De by Sima Shi after his rebellion failed.
Could it be said that Master Sima had such an idea from the day Guo De was killed? ?
At that time, he wanted to control himself through his daughter? ?
Sima Yan looked at the emperor in front of him in surprise, "Your Majesty??"
Cao Mao quickly calmed down, looked at Sima Yan with a smile, and scratched his head, "I'm still young and I really haven't thought about starting a family."
"Haha, brother, there's no need to be shy!"
"My sister is gentle and virtuous. She is definitely a good match! And her child, although not in good health, is very smart and cute."
Cao Mao was a little confused. I am not my great-grandfather.
I don't like this.
He couldn't help but ask: "How old is the child?"
"Your Majesty's child should be five years old this year..."
Cao Mao's face twitched, he was only thirteen years old! ! You have a five-year-old son? !
Sima Yan obviously didn't think this was a big deal.
At this moment, he was smiling and praising his cousin.
Cao Mao asked: "Did your father tell you this news?"
"Yes, it's not just me, everyone in the clan knows it. I heard that the Queen Mother specially selected it for Your Majesty. The Queen Mother really loves His Majesty!"
fart!
The Queen Mother has been with me all this time and has no idea about this matter.
Why did Sima Zhao announce it?
Has he made up his mind and is ready to surround himself with people at all costs? ?
"How is it? Is Your Majesty happy?"
Sima Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm so happy. I'm so happy."
As Cao Mao said, he suddenly remembered something and his eyes twitched.
not good!
If Master Sima had already begun to arrange for people to divide the power of the harem, he must have realized the changes in the Queen Mother. Could he have guessed that someone was supporting the Queen Mother?
He will!
Prince! !
You must hold on! !
"General, I really don't know!"
"What exactly do you mean??"
Wang Xiang frowned and looked at Master Sima beside him, confused.
Just today, when Wang Xiang was preparing to go to the palace to teach, Master Sima suddenly appeared in his mansion, followed by many soldiers.
Wang Xiang was very surprised and hurriedly bowed to see him.
But Master Sima asked indifferently: "Isn't the prince already a minister of the Queen Mother? Why do you salute me?"
Wang Xiang didn't understand what Master Sima meant at all. He frowned and couldn't figure out what Master Sima meant.
"General, what have my people done?"
Master Sima laughed.
"Your Majesty, you are so courageous. You don't think that I don't have anyone around the Queen Mother, do you? You vowed to tell the Queen Mother that you would assist her in doing great things, but now why don't you dare to admit it?"
"ah??"
"Assist the Queen Mother??"
"What is this nonsense?"
Wang Xiang became even more confused. He pondered for a moment, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"General, I know that I will resign from the position of Sili Colonel."
Master Sima shook his head, "Isn't it too late now?"
Wang Xiang gritted his teeth and asked displeasedly: "What else does the general want?"
"Do you really think you can escape punishment by resigning?"
Master Sima said coldly.
Wang Xiang stood up angrily, "General! Although I am incompetent, I can't stand such humiliation!!"
"If you want to use the position of Sili Xiaowei, you can use it! I don't have any objections!"
"Don't humiliate me like this!"
Master Sima was stunned for a moment, feeling something was wrong.
He looked at Wang Xiang, who was filled with grief and anger in front of him, and asked, "My lord, why do you want to resign?"
"Didn't the general want me to resign?"
"I have heard that Mr. Situ is unwilling to resign!"
"If Mr. Situ is not willing, then of course he will have to resign. What official position is more suitable for him than Sili Xiaowei?"
"I'll just let it go!"
"Whether Guanqiu Jian wants to do it or not, that's his business! It has nothing to do with me!"
Wang Xiang said angrily, his face turning blue and white.
Master Sima calmly looked at Wang Xiang in front of him. He stared for a long time, but Wang Xiang became more and more angry.
"My lord, you know very well that this is not what I am talking about."
"You overestimate the Queen Mother, and underestimate me too much. That Queen Mother just listened to a few soft words from her tribe, and then she said everything to the prince. I don't have to kill you, but please don't humiliate me like this again. .”
"I'm not my useless brother."
Master Sima stared at Wang Xiang dimly.
Wang Xiang was angry and angry, "What's the matter with the Queen Mother here? What on earth did I do? What does the general want to do?"
"I take it seriously"
Looking at the furious Wang Xiang, Master Sima suddenly asked: "Your Majesty conspired with the Queen Mother in the harem. Isn't this what you taught me?"
"I never taught your Majesty anything about conspiracy! What I taught you was the principle of governing the world."
"Everyone in the palace can testify for me!"
Wang Xiang said loudly: "If the general doesn't believe it, you can capture me now. I have a clear conscience!!"
Master Sima nodded, "Of course I believe you, but a minister told me that His Majesty had done something bad and mistakenly thought it was related to you."
Wang Xiang kept a straight face and said nothing.
"Your majesty, please don't make your ministers angry. It's also for Your Majesty's consideration."
"The general, I, am old and may no longer be able to assist Your Majesty. I am planning to resign and return home. I hope the general will agree."
Master Sima was stunned for a moment.
"My lord, the temple cannot do without you. Without you, who will teach His Majesty? Your Majesty is still young, and I am very worried that he will go astray. Please don't say such words again."
"General, I really want to resign."
"Your Majesty! I know the truth of what the ministers said. You should put the world first. How can you be swayed by some rumors? I know your character. Please don't refuse. In the future, if anyone talks nonsense again I will deal with the nonsense personally."
After hearing these words, Wang Xiang's complexion improved a lot.
"All right."
Master Sima chatted with him for a while, and then left. Wang Xiang said goodbye in person.
Sitting in the carriage, Master Sima frowned, his eyes particularly complicated.
Could it be that I thought wrongly?
Isn't the person who assists the Queen Mother Wang Xiang? ?
No, who else could it be besides him?
But his performance just now...
Master Sima was hesitant. If he was not sure, he did not want to touch Wang Xiang. After Xia Houxuan and others, this was the new moral leader. With such a person on his side, it was a huge help. He could not Easily offended.
I have already killed several moral leaders in my family, and I don't mind killing a few more, but my health is already very bad, and my brother still needs someone like this to help him.
Let's look again. If we can't be sure that he is a wise man, then we can't leave any trouble for his younger brother.
Wang Xiang saw off Master Sima, went into the house and changed his clothes, and then went to the palace, his expression unchanged, as if nothing happened.
When he came to the east hall, the emperor was already waiting for him.
Cao Mao looked a little anxious.
As soon as the two sat down, Cao Mao couldn't help but said: "Teacher! Master Sima is about to take action!"
"He will definitely suspect that you are supporting the Queen Mother. If he goes to test it, please don't waver. You must not admit it. Once he admits it, he will harm you!"
"I can guarantee that the Queen Mother has never leaked this matter. Master Sima likes this kind of temptation. His words are conclusive, but in fact he is not sure. If he is sure, he will definitely kill him directly and will not question him."
"As long as you can resist it, he won't dare to harm you at will."
Wang Xiang was shocked when he heard Cao Mao's words.
"What? Master Sima already knows?"
"Teacher, he doesn't know, but you are my teacher. If you stay in the palace all day, you will definitely be suspected by him. I suggest that in the next few days, you'd better not rush to contact those ministers, even if If you want to get in touch, you have to get in touch with someone you can completely trust.”
Wang Xiang was stunned for a long time. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Okay, I understand."
"If Master Sima comes to test me, I will definitely not admit that I am here with the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, I'm here, teacher, don't worry."
Cao Mao comforted the teacher in front of him, and then said: "Teacher, don't you know yet? Master Sima wants to betroth his daughter to me, and he is officially going to attack General Zhendong."
Cao Mao's face looked ugly.
"I'm afraid this may cause some trouble."
Wang Xiang frowned, "The only one who can solve this matter is the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother does not allow it, and unless the general can depose the Queen Mother, this matter will not be accomplished."
"I'm not worried about the Queen Mother, I'm just worried about the Guo family."
"I think those people from the Guo family may have taken refuge with the Sima family. Moreover, they may pretend to be close to the Queen Mother, extract secrets from the Queen Mother, or persuade the Queen Mother."
Cao Mao's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "What??"
"Do they really dare to seek refuge with the Sima family??"
"The Queen Mother is from their own family, how dare they do this?!"
Wang Xiang sighed and said seriously: "This matter must be guarded against. Your Majesty must inform the Queen Mother as soon as possible so that she will not be careless. Especially about our affairs, we must not inform the Guo family. If they know, Your Majesty is about to be in trouble!"
Cao Mao was so frightened that his face turned pale and his eyes were dull.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic, this matter can still be solved."
"Good teacher, it all depends on you!"
