Being scolded by his friend, Ji Kang hesitated to speak.
But he quickly realized his mistake and quickly lowered his head, "You are right, it was my fault. It should not be revealed easily. It will definitely not be the case in the future."
Lu An said seriously: "Uncle Ye, no matter what your Majesty said, I hope you won't rush to do it, and don't tell me what your Majesty wants you to do. I don't think you can do anything important for your Majesty."
"You have never done anything like this. If you act rashly, you may harm His Majesty."
Ji Kang suddenly had a headache.
This kind of thing cannot be done with passion, it also requires ability.
But rebellion is obviously not Ji Kang's strong point.
His Majesty simply asked himself if he could serve him.
Of course Ji Kang is willing. He is not afraid of death, but the question is, how can he serve him?
He didn't even tell him to do anything.
He wanted to ask Lu An, but he remembered Lu An's reprimand just now and held back.
"I understand, please don't worry."
Lu An gave many more instructions and just left here. From the beginning to the end, he never raised the idea of seeing His Majesty's handwriting, and persuaded Ji Kang to destroy it quickly and not keep it.
Ji Kang looked at Lu An and suddenly felt that he seemed to be more suitable to do such a thing than himself.
After Lu An left, Ji Kang quickly burned the handwritten letter.
He didn't know what His Majesty wanted him to do.
It seems that I can only wait until the next time I see His Majesty and ask him secretly.
At this moment, after sending Sima Yan away, Cao Mao also walked towards the west hall, thinking about today's events as he walked.
Ji Kang, Lu An, Ruan Ji and others are all opponents of the Sima family, and they are people he can trust and use.
However, although these celebrities have high reputations, their ability to do practical things is too poor and they cannot be entrusted with big tasks.
Today's debate will probably be spread out tomorrow.
By then, the reputation of the Dongtang Banquet will definitely be known to celebrities throughout Luoyang, and he will be able to come into contact with more and more celebrities, and he can even win over a group of people and use them as public opinion.
Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, and Lu An were the three people Cao Mao wanted to win over for his own use.
Although they lack practical talents, they are very important to Cao Mao.
Just because Ruan Ji can freely enter and exit the palace by virtue of his status as a Sanqi, and the banquet of celebrities allows Ji Kang and Lu An to enter and exit the palace freely.
If they can be brought together, then Cao Mao can communicate with the outside world.
Yin Damu who served as the captain of Changshui, Jiao Bo who served as Ruolu Ling, Li Zhao of the Chinese Army, and even Guanqiu Jian of Huainan.
Cao Mao has many ideas, but unfortunately he cannot pass them on.
In fact, he could also get in touch with these people through Wang Xiang or the Queen Mother, but Cao Mao didn't want Wang Xiang or the Queen Mother to know all his trump cards.
It is too easy for eunuchs to be spotted when they go out. Cheng Ji is a hot-tempered person and is not suitable for doing secretive things.
After much deliberation, the only way to get in touch with the outside world is through these trusted celebrities. At least, the probability of these people taking the initiative to betray themselves is very low.
If he could help them get promoted, it might become a potential helper for him in the temple.
Sima Shi was about to attack Guanqiu Jian, and Cao Mao knew he had to speed up.
Now that I have power everywhere, I can't connect them. This doesn't work.
The only thing we have to worry about is whether Ji Kang and others will mess up the matter. Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, and Lu An each have their own strengths and weaknesses. If they are allowed to help each other, the three stooges will be... If you can't stand up to Zhuge Liang, you won't do bad things easily, right?
The next step is to wait for the next banquet to strengthen contact with Ji Kang, and then let him win over Ruan Ji and Lu An to help him, and ignore the others for now.
Then he sent things to Guanqiu Jian through the three of them.
Cao Mao did not want to be a master of micro-management. When it came to leading troops in war, he would not be a match for Guan Qiu Jian, and he had no experience in this field at all.
He wanted to give Guanqiu Jian something else, such as possible military deployments by generals from various places in the future, Sima Division's strategic vision, etc. Of course, these are for reference only.
There are also other designs such as the design drawings of the curved shaft plow, the design drawings of the high-rotating drum car, the design drawings of the wheelbarrow, the design drawings of the spinning wheel, etc.
Guanqiu Jian was under great pressure for food.
Cao Mao did not expect these things to completely solve Guan Qiujian's logistical pressure, but Cao Mao was not willing to let go of anything that could play a small role.
There are also Wang Xiang and Chen Qian.
Wang Xiang must be promoted to the position of Taichang as soon as possible. The influence that the head of the Nine Ministers can have cannot be underestimated.
Chen Qian must also meet as soon as possible, and he must promote some people through him.
There is also Yang Hu who has been recruited and asked to serve as the guard general.
Guo Zhi's position also needs to be planned, and he hopes that the position of the general guarding the army can be handed over to Man Changwu.
You can also try to win over the officer group in the Luoyang Central Army, but you can't do it yourself. The Sima family is still very sensitive to military power.
Perhaps Chen Qian can be asked to come forward and win over these officers with previous promises.
At this moment, in Cao Mao's eyes, it is like a dark starry sky, which is gradually being lit up by starlight. The starlight everywhere is very weak, but the number is constantly increasing. When the number of these stars is large enough, it will Even the dark night can be torn open!
Cao Mao had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Entering the inner room of the west hall, Cao Mao's train of thought was interrupted and he was frightened.
For some reason, Sima Yu unexpectedly appeared in the house and was sitting on the bed, staring blankly in his direction.
What's happening here? ?
We haven’t even arranged a wedding ceremony yet!
Are you lying in now?
Cao Mao took a few steps back and shouted, "Here comes someone!"
Husband Xu soon appeared beside him, looking at the emperor with a smile.
Cao Mao frowned, "Why did she appear here?"
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Just now, a palace maid sent her in."
Mr. Xu didn't know how to call Sima Yu, so he said she was the queen. But the question was, how could the canonization of the queen be such a child's play?
The canonization of a queen requires a rather complicated ceremony, just like Cao Mao's enthronement ceremony.
She didn't have a formal title, but she "took the initiative" to come to the West Hall.
No one dared to offend the general's daughter.
Cao Mao took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, go out now."
Husband Xu nodded and left the place. Cao Mao slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"Did that maid send you here? Why didn't you refuse?"
Cao Mao suddenly asked.
Sima Ku did not answer.
Cao Mao didn't say anything more. He had previously thought that Master Sima was not in a hurry to make him the queen because he didn't want him to touch Sima Yu too early to avoid some changes, such as Sima Yu becoming pregnant and causing the hostage plan to go bankrupt.
But now it seems that the Sima family has never cared about this at all. They don't care, they don't care.
Is it because you are too young?
Or is it because they think they won't survive ten months?
Or do they want a "posthumous son" with Sima family blood? ?
Cao Mao didn't know the reason, and he didn't really want to know.
He has decided to attack with all his strength.
Of course, the important strategy of waiting for Master Sima to die of illness will not be shaken. This is the safest strategy and the strategy with the highest success rate.
Attacking with all your strength does not mean mindlessly confronting the Sima Master and causing a bloody blow.
He just decided to speed up Sima Shi's death from illness.
Summoning celebrities today is the first step to speed up the process. In Cao Mao's original idea, wooing celebrities should at least wait until Master Sima officially takes action against Guanqiu Jian.
What made Cao Mao change his mind was Sima Yu in front of him.
Master Sima's behavior really scared Cao Mao.
He suddenly understood that if he did not increase his strength as soon as possible and increase his chances of winning, Xu Tuzhi might end up being slaughtered by Sima Master Xu Xuzhi.
Of course, there may also be some trivial anger in the reason for this accelerated pace.
"Put out the candle and rest."
As Cao Mao said, Sima Ku was stunned and stretched out his hand to undress.
Cao Mao suddenly reached out and held her thin hand.
"I'm still young, I don't have to be like this."
Cao Mao said, let go of his hand, got on the bed first, turned around, and slowly closed his eyes.
Sima Yu still didn't respond. She was stunned for a long time, then slowly got on the bed and lay down next to Cao Mao.
Some eunuchs extinguished the candles.
Cao Mao's heart was very peaceful, without any evil thoughts.
There are so many things that he has to face every day. Even when he is lying on the bed, those deployments and plans are still in his mind. His heart is completely occupied by these things, and there is no room for evil thoughts to be born.
Cao Mao heard gentle sobbing coming from beside him.
He just closed his eyes tightly and didn't make any movement.
When he first met Sima Yu, Cao Mao thought about how to win her over, how to enhance the relationship between the two parties, and how to use her.
After all, the identity of Sima Master's daughter is quite useful.
But after discovering that she might have been coerced by her biological father, and vaguely realizing that she was a miserable person, Cao Mao's idea of using her disappeared.
The great cause of saving the world is important.
But in order to achieve great things, you cannot sacrifice and ignore everything.
I am not a Sima Shi.
