The celebrities were very impressed by Sima Yan's words. They stroked their beards and their evaluations of Sima Yan were getting higher and higher.
I didn't find it before, but now I know that Sima Anshi is a true sage!
Sima Yan continued: "I think that the reason why His Majesty, the Holy Ming, is close to eunuchs is entirely because he lacks wise men like you around him."
"What does Sima Sanqi mean?"
"I would like to hold a banquet in the East Hall, and invite all the wise men to gather around His Majesty, discuss knowledge, drink wine, compose poems, and comment on the world's famous people. What do you think?"
"OK!"
"We are willing to go!"
The celebrities all agreed. If Cao Mao came to summon them to Tai Chi Hall, they would definitely not dare to go. But if Sima Yan invited them, what should they be afraid of?
Nowadays, Sima Master does not show up, and Sima Zhao is running around in everything. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sima Zhao will definitely inherit the position of Sima Master, and Sima Yan is Sima Zhao's eldest son.
Although Sima You was adopted by Master Sima and had a good reputation, he could not resist the fact that his eldest son was getting better and better. At such an age, he was already on par with the celebrities. As time went by, could Sima You still be able to compete with him for this position?
The celebrities had different ideas, but they were all willing to get close to Sima Yan.
What's more, going to Tai Chi Hall is also good for their reputation. Judging from Sima Yan's intention, this is not a one-time or two-time event. It is likely to become a Wei Dynasty special event, the kind exclusive to celebrities. This kind of activity has been in the past It has also happened that everyone who can participate can get a good reputation.
Recently, many people are trying to improve His Majesty's reputation and meet with His Majesty. Maybe they can also have a chance?
Just like Sima Yan is now famous all over the world.
The celebrities agreed with Sima Yan on a date before saying goodbye and leaving.
Sima Yan said goodbye to them and looked at the door carefully to make sure that all these people had left. Then he jumped up and started rubbing his legs. After sitting on his knees for so long, his legs were almost lame!
Just as he was rubbing his legs without etiquette, a person suddenly broke into the house.
"Sima Sanqi has such a great reputation."
"You have summoned so many famous people, how dare you invite them to the East Hall?"
Sima Zhao looked at his son in front of him coldly, his expression very ugly.
Sima Yan was startled by him and quickly straightened up.
Sima Zhao saw his son pondering. The next moment, he trembled and stepped forward, then slowly held his hand, raised his head, and looked at himself.
"Father!! This is all due to your good teaching!"
"If it weren't for you, how could I be valued by so many celebrities?"
"I should thank you!"
Sima Zhao gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes, and looked at his son in front of him.
"Thanks, right?"
"You don't look like you are pretending to be sick. Do you want me to teach you?"
In Zhaoyang Palace, Cao Mao hurriedly informed the Queen Mother of the good news brought by Wang Xiang.
Queen Mother Guo is really happy recently.
Since getting rid of the clan, she feels that her life is getting better and better.
Colonel Sili took the initiative to seek refuge with Cao Mao, and Cao Mao came to see him every day, telling him all kinds of humorous stories, making himself laugh, and bringing him good news from time to time.
Sima Shi is about to die, Sima Zhao has offended which minister, and today we have brought the good news of Chen Qian's submission!
Queen Mother Guo vaguely felt that the Sima family was nothing more than this, and it seemed that she had the confidence to challenge the other party.
She never dared to have such an idea in the past.
"Okay, I will give the order now to summon Yushi Zhongcheng!"
Cao Mao was startled by her and hurriedly persuaded her: "Mother, no, if we summon her now, wouldn't the Sima family find out?"
Empress Dowager Guo waved her hand, "Master Sima is about to die. What will happen if he finds out?"
Cao Mao only felt a headache.
The Queen Mother went from one extreme to another.
If she was even half as capable as Empress Lu, Cao Mao would have said nothing and just followed her, but she didn't. Sima Zhao, let alone Master Sima, could torture her completely. She was exhausted and fought with An Shiwuwu Kai, maybe not even as good as An Shi!
Although An Shi was a little stupid, at least he listened to the advice. He is not a big fan of food and knows how capable he is.
But Cao Mao had no choice. He formed an alliance with the aristocratic family. The Queen Mother was an absolutely indispensable link and the most critical link. Her edict worked!
At least she dared to fight against the Sima family. Cao Mao could only comfort himself in this way.
"Mother, Master Sima is certainly seriously ill, but didn't you say before that it was because he was seriously ill that you had to avoid his attack?"
"Yes, the prince said it before."
"Now that we have Sili Xiaowei and Yushi Zhongcheng, the matter can be settled. How about summoning him another day?"
"Mother is wise!"
Cao Mao said, and then reminded: "Mother, the prince told me not to act rashly now, but to endure this period of time. He said it was inconvenient for him to see you, and also mentioned the matter of Yang Hu."
Speaking of Yang Hu, the Queen Mother's face looked a little ugly.
"Since the prince said so, let's call him to be the protective general. But, can he come?"
"How can there be any reason for the Queen Mother not to come? If he doesn't come, that would be better. If Sima Zhao wants to conquer him in the future, he will not dare to come again. Otherwise, he is despising the Queen Mother and has evil intentions. He will be ridiculed by everyone in the world, this person with the same name will not do such a thing!"
"Yang Hu is extremely talented. If Sima Zhao is unable to conquer him, it will be an arm of the Sima family!"
Queen Mother Guo nodded, "Let's do it this way, I will issue an edict now."
"only!!"
Cao Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say something when Husband Guo suddenly barged in.
"Queen Mother!"
"Zhongshu Shilang Zhonghui wants to see you!!"
Cao Mao took a deep breath and looked up at the Queen Mother.
"Mother's final blow has come."
Zhong Hui walked in with a smile. Just looking at his appearance, he was really an impeccable celebrity. He was personable, elegant and handsome. Even Queen Mother Guo couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
However, Zhong Hui didn't look at the Queen Mother at all. After coming in, he stared at Cao Mao and grinned.
That smile was downright creepy.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"Meet the Queen Mother."
Zhong Hui saluted one after another, but he saluted Cao Mao first.
Queen Mother Guo frowned, looking a little unhappy.
"The Vice Minister of Zhongshu is here, but what's the important matter?"
"I came to see your majesty on important matters. I learned that your majesty was in Zhaoyang Palace, so I came here."
Hearing these words, Queen Mother Guo felt as if she had eaten a fly, "Zhong Hui! How dare you insult me?! Where do you think this Zhaoyang Palace is?!"
"Come here! Get this rude person out of here!!"
The smile on Zhong Hui's face froze instantly. He stared directly at the queen mother, with no respect for the queen mother in his eyes.
"Queen Mother, I, Emperor Gao Zuwen, have decreed that the harem must not interfere in politics."
"Do you want to disobey your ancestors' orders?"
Faced with Zhong Hui's stern eyes, Queen Mother Guo was furious, but couldn't say anything. She just pointed at Zhong Hui and gritted her teeth.
"Zhong Hui!!!"
"How dare you be rude to my mother?!"
Cao Mao jumped out suddenly and stood in front of the Queen Mother. He stared at Zhong Hui angrily with a fierce look on his face.
Zhong Hui quickly put away his stern eyes and looked at Cao Mao with some grievance, "It was Your Majesty who ordered me to contact the Sima family and ask for a daughter. Now that the matter is done, it is His Majesty who reprimanded me. What should I do?"
"Are you asking the Sima family to give you a daughter? Jun Zhong's ability to talk nonsense is really eye-opening!"
"I thought you were a famous person, but I didn't expect that you would use such despicable methods as Jia Chong."
Cao Mao's face was full of sarcasm.
Zhong Hui looked at him in astonishment and then at the Queen Mother.
"Is it possible that the Queen Mother doesn't know about this?"
"Haha, except for Zhong Jun, I'm afraid no one knows about this anymore."
"I'm guilty! I'm leaving!"
Zhong Hui turned around and left.
When Zhong Hui left, Queen Mother Guo's expression was particularly complicated. She looked at Cao Mao calmly.
"Hahaha~~~"
Cao Mao suddenly laughed.
"Why is your Majesty laughing?"
"I laugh at that Master Sima who has no plans and Zhong Hui is so smart!"
"Mother, I was worried just now about how terrible this Sima Master's final blow would be. Unexpectedly, it turned out that he wanted to drive a wedge between our mother and son by marrying off his daughter."
"Hmph, Master Sima really despises his mother. He actually thinks that his mother will believe Zhong Hui's lies. Who is Zhong Hui? Master Sima's number one confidant. Not a word of what he says can be believed!"
Queen Mother Guo's face suddenly looked much better.
"So Master Sima wants to marry a certain clan member to you?"
Cao Mao frowned and said seriously: "Master Sima is a ruthless person. He is definitely not that simple. He will not easily trust outsiders in the clan. He must be the daughter of Master Sima and Sima Zhao."
"Sima Zhao had two daughters. The younger one had eye disease and was born disabled and could not enter the palace."
"As for the eldest daughter, I heard Ruan Sanqi say that it is not possible for Sima Zhao to use his eldest daughter to marry him."
"Among Master Sima's many daughters, the only one who does not have a husband's family is Sima Yu."
Queen Mother Guo was shocked, "What?! Does Master Sima still dare to do such a thing that violates human ethics? That's your aunt!!"
"Yes, mother, this is how vicious he is. If I marry my aunt, how will the world view me? How can I succeed to the throne of Emperor Liezu?"
Cao Mao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I will never suffer such humiliation. I think that now that Sili Xiaowei and Yushi Zhongcheng are on our side, it is better to take the initiative and fight to the death with Sima Master!!" He is the Emperor of Wei, even if he dies, his reputation cannot be tarnished!"
Looking at the murderous Cao Mao in front of her, Queen Mother Guo calmed down.
She no longer had the courage she had just now. Recalling Zhong Hui's eyes just now, she reluctantly persuaded: "Master Yan, please don't act rashly. De was adopted to another family a long time ago. In fact, he is not your uncle at all." Don’t be impulsive!”
"Mother! How can a man be humiliated?"
"Yanshi, for the sake of important things, you have to be patient, and you have to be patient first."
"Sooner or later, the world belongs to you, so why fight to the death with someone who is bound to die?"
It took a long time for Queen Mother Guo to persuade Cao Mao. Looking at the pale-faced Cao Mao, Queen Mother Guo sighed helplessly.
"It's hard on you."
Cao Mao lowered his head with a look of reluctance, but he was scolding Zhong Hui in his heart.
You bitch! ! I almost got into trouble with you! !
