"Luoyang"
A group of carriages slowly arrived in Luoyang. The people in the carriages looked at the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Hu stared at the tall city wall in front of him, with many thoughts in his mind.
He had been away from Luoyang for some time since the incident with Cao Shuang. During these days, despite his sister's persuasion, he never returned to Luoyang.
Hua Biao was sitting in front of him now, and he looked at Yang Hu with complicated eyes.
This guy is actually here!
Hua Biao originally thought that at this time, no one would take the initiative to come to the temple to serve as an official, especially the head of the guard like General Zhenhu. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what the Sima family was thinking. It was impossible for Sima Master, Sima Zhao It will definitely be done.
What are you doing in the palace at this time?
To be a minister of Conglong?
I'm afraid that this power of becoming a dragon has not been achieved, but it will be used as a knife and thrown away after use.
In Huabiao's eyes, Yang Hu was obviously a fool who was obsessed with fame and couldn't see the future clearly.
They were trapped in this muddy water and couldn't leave even if they wanted to, but someone actually took the initiative to take a dip in the muddy water.
His attitude towards Yang Hu was also obviously much colder.
Yang Hu didn't care about this. He asked seriously: "What kind of person is your Majesty today?"
"Your Majesty now"
Hua Biao thought about the emperor who was brought to the temple by him, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"The virtuous king."
Hua Biao whispered.
Huabiao's reaction surprised Yang Hu, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After going to the Chancellor's Desk according to the rules and completing a series of tedious cataloging, Yang Hu was taken away directly.
Hua Biao was very dissatisfied with this, cursed a few words, and left.
Yang Hu looked at the two soldiers in front of him in astonishment. They helped him get into the carriage, and then the carriage drove away in the distance.
"Where are we going?"
The soldier didn't answer Yang Hu at all. After driving like this for a long time, the carriage finally stopped. Yang Hu got out of the carriage and smiled helplessly when he saw the mansion in front of him.
"Hahaha, Uncle Sheep! You are finally here!"
Sima Zhao stood in front of the mansion, looking at Yang Hu in surprise, stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
Yang Hu hurriedly saluted, "Meet the general!"
"Hey, we are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite?"
"Get up!"
Sima Zhao helped him up and looked at him with a smile, his eyes were very gentle, as if he really regarded him as his family member.
"My sister-in-law talks about you all day long. I miss you very much. Why don't you write to my sister-in-law and brother during these days? Why don't you come to visit us?"
"You have to wait until I give the order to recruit you before you come?"
Yang Hu smiled bitterly and said: "That's not the case."
"Come on, come on, follow me in! They are all waiting for you!"
Feeling Sima Zhao's enthusiasm, Yang Hu could not help but frown. This was the reason why he did not dare to come to Luoyang. If he was too favored, he would definitely suffer from jealousy.
But Sima Zhao obviously didn't know about Yang Hu's concerns, so he led him cordially towards the house, chatting with him along the way and asking about the situation of his family, even the daughter of the traitor Xia Houba. They didn't show anything wrong and were all smiling.
The two chatted all the way, and Yang Hu kept his attitude very low, not becoming arrogant at all because of Sima Zhao's favor and indulgence. This was what Sima Zhao was happiest about.
When Yang Hu followed him into the backyard, Yang Huiyu walked forward happily.
"Uncle!"
"Sister!"
Yang Hu hurriedly bowed to see him.
Yang Huiyu looked at his younger brother in front of him and almost shed tears. Sima Zhao did not bother him and stood aside, watching them chatting.
After talking outside the door, Yang Huiyu led Yang Hu into the house to see Master Sima.
"Meet the General!"
Yang Hu saluted and said.
Yang Huiyu said displeasedly: "There are no outsiders here, just call me sister-in-law!"
Master Sima raised his hand and stopped Yang Huiyu, "Now that you have received the position, you should be worthy of it."
Sima Zhao, Yang Huiyu, Yang Hu and others sat on both sides of Sima Master. Sima Master looked at Yang Hu and asked softly: "We have never come here for several conquests in the past, why didn't we come this time?" What about rejection?"
Yang Hu quickly replied: "I dare not refuse to follow the conquest of the temple."
"Do you not want to be an official?"
Master Sima asked again.
His tone was so indifferent that Yang Hu was speechless. Sima Zhao quickly spoke up and defended himself: "Brother, what are you talking about? My uncle just came to Luoyang, why don't you scare him away? These things are still going on. What do you ask him to do?"
He looked at Yang Hu again and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry about it, brother cares about you."
The atmosphere was not lively when Master Sima was present, even if his relatives came from afar. He sat upright with a straight face and said nothing, while the few people below did not dare to talk at all.
Fortunately, Master Sima did not stay here any longer. He called a few soldiers and hurried out and got into the carriage.
After he left, the whole room seemed to have warmed up, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Even Sima Zhao looked much more relaxed than before.
"Uncle, this time you came to the temple and served as the Protector General. It was a blockbuster. But you have to remember that the Protector General has a heavy responsibility. You must not live up to our high expectations for you, especially now that the situation is turbulent. , even within the palace, it is not as safe as you think, so be careful."
Sima Zhao said and looked at Yang Huiyu aside.
Yang Huiyu also said seriously: "Uncle, you must be cautious in your actions. I am young and frivolous. Don't offend him. If something happens, talk to General Zhengxi and ask his opinion."
Yang Hu didn't dare to object and just nodded.
"The Queen Mother heard about your reputation from somewhere, and she values you very much. However, the Wei Dynasty has an ancestral system and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. You must not ruin your reputation."
It was said to be a family dinner, but it was always a disguised reminder to Yang Hu, asking him to see his position clearly and not to join the camp of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Yang Hu had no room to object and could only bow his head and say yes.
Although he did not refuse to serve as an official this time, he did not want to follow the Queen Mother and the Emperor to achieve any unparalleled achievements. He was not in a hurry. He had never led an army before, so this was a good opportunity to improve himself.
Besides, her rise to power was mostly the result of compromise between the two parties. It was hard to tell whether the Queen Mother could remember her own name. As for the Emperor, how could she know who he was?
Even if I want to get close, others may not pay attention to me!
Yang Hu stayed in Luoyang for another three days, and it was not until the fourth day that he officially took office.
Guarding General and Guarding General may sound similar, but they are completely different.
The guard general is guarding the palace and can be understood as the palace's largest security captain, while the guard general is an officer of the Chinese army and can be understood as the deputy chief of staff of the capital's garrison.
The ranks of the two are the same, but their powers are completely different. In the Chinese army, apart from the generals and the leading generals, the guard generals have the greatest power.
This is why Yang Hu was so shocked when he learned that the Guo family had become generals protecting the army.
Yang Hu is now succeeded by Guo Jian, who serves as the guard general in the palace, also known as the security captain.
Yang Hu was truly a blockbuster. He was promoted directly from a white body to a protective general. He put on his armor, surrounded by his subordinates, and walked into his security area for the first time.
"Uncle Sheep!!"
"is it you?!"
"Uncle Sheep!!"
As soon as Yang Hu entered the palace, he saw a half-year-old child. The child rushed towards him very excitedly. His expression was even more excited than Sima Zhao's. His eyes were full of fire, and he couldn't help it. When Yang Hu reacted, he grabbed his hand.
Yang Hu reacted quickly and discovered the identity of the half-grown child in front of him.
At this moment, Yang Hu only felt creepy.
He hurriedly prepared to salute.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!!"
"Don't do this! Get up! Get up!!"
Cao Mao quickly pulled him up and looked at him again, with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Yang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time! Hahaha, I heard from An Shi three days ago that you arrived in Luoyang. From that day on, I have been waiting here, waiting for you to come. , I want to meet you."
"How virtuous and capable is this minister?"
"You can afford it! If you can't afford it, who else in the world can afford it?"
"Uncle, I don't know. Wang Chudao is my knight. He often tells me about you, saying that you are one of the few virtuous ministers in the world. Whoever gets you can bring peace to the world!"
Even a well-educated person like Yang Hu wants to scold Wang Chen at this moment. Aren't you cheating on me? ?
Cao Mao said with excitement on his face: "Since that day, I have been looking for my mother all day long to ask her to confer you as the Protector General. I want you to stay with me. I finally got my wish today!"
"I will let you serve as my attendant! From now on, you can stay with me at any time!"
"Here comes someone! Let's have a banquet in the west hall!!"
Yang Hu's eyes darkened and he was at a loss.
Facing different ministers, Cao Mao had different ways to deal with them. For Wang Xiang, he had to talk about family, for Chen Qian and Cheng Ji, he had to talk about official titles, for Ji Kang, he had to talk about morality, for Jiao Bo and others, he had to talk about trust. What about people like Yang Hu? All I can do is keep showing kindness and showing kindness.
Yang Hu has moral integrity.
If you have enough time, you can slowly talk to him and let him feel your respect and good intentions.
But now that time is urgent, Cao Mao can only express his goodwill as soon as possible.
Cao Mao was not afraid whether his excessive enthusiasm would scare the person in front of him or force him to leave. After all, that was how Sima Wang was forced to leave.
Yang Hu is different from Sima Wang. He just accepted the conquest of the temple and then turned around and wanted to run away?
It's not that easy!
Cao Mao's current thoughts can be summed up in one sentence: Brother, I have been so good to you, how dare you join forces with Master Sima to kill me?
ps: I tried my best. I wrote until after three o'clock and wrote 18,000 words. 20,000 words was really not enough. It was too difficult. I will try my best next time and set a personal record of 20,000 words per day!
I hope all the sages can vote monthly. For new books, monthly votes are quite important...
