"Mother!"
"Congratulations!"
Cao Mao's face was full of smiles and he was happier than ever before. He excitedly walked into Zhaoyang Palace and sat next to the Queen Mother.
Seeing the smile on Cao Mao's face, Queen Mother Guo felt much better.
"What's going to happen to my son?"
"Mother! The prince is preparing to attack Master Sima during the court meeting today!"
"ah??"
Queen Mother Guo's eyes flashed with fear, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.
In these years, Master Sima has become notorious. Sima Yi also knows how to be open-minded when doing things. Sima Zhao also knows how to protect those who are close to him, but Master Sima is different. This man will kill the clan whenever he takes action, and he will not He showed no mercy to anyone, even Xu Yun, who had given in, would not let him go and insisted on killing him.
Zhongshu Ling Li Feng was beaten to death by Sima Shi with his own hands because he insulted Sima Yi and Sima Shi in person.
So cruel and cruel, who wouldn't be afraid of it?
Cao Mao said with a smile: "The day that mother has longed for is finally coming!"
"Currently, Sima Shi is facing internal and external troubles. The prince must have thought carefully before deciding to take action."
"The ministers will definitely side with the prince. Sima Shi, that tyrannical villain, will definitely not agree to such a benevolent government."
"At that time, mother can issue an edict to approve this matter."
"The ministers will naturally know who to support. With the support of the ministers, what does Sima Shi mean?"
"Congratulations to my mother! I can finally stop being bullied by traitors!!"
The more Cao Mao talked, the happier he became.
The fear in Queen Mother Guo's heart also disappeared a little amid Cao Mao's laughter. She asked hesitantly: "Can you really defeat Master Sima?"
"Mother, if it was half a year ago, there would be no chance, but now, Master Sima is extremely ill and unable to fight against us. There is no need to be afraid of him!"
"We have withstood his last-ditch counterattack. Now, it's time for us to take action."
"Mother, please get ready!"
Cao Mao's face was full of confidence, and Queen Mother Guo finally no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed.
Cao Mao said with a smile: "The world of the Wei Dynasty has been in turmoil because of Sima Shi. The ministers will know today that if mother came to take charge of the temple, it will definitely not be like this. The world will be prosperous today!"
Queen Mother Guo also had some expectations in her eyes.
Cao Mao sat next to her with a smile and continued to draw various cakes for her.
But in his heart, Cao Mao was not as confident and optimistic as he showed.
He had no confidants at all in the temple. Whether it was Wang Xiang or Chen Qian, they only cared about themselves and would never be considered by the emperor unless the emperor could bring them some kind of benefit.
And Cao Mao has no ability to participate in temple affairs.
All actions in the temple must be decided by these people.
Cao Mao had no way of predicting what the outcome would be. Those people had different demands and would take different actions. There was also a Sima Master who was eyeing them.
But Cao Mao is no longer worried.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the next step is to see the performance of Wang Xiang and others.
Cao Mao believes that the historical achievements of Wang Xiang and others are not accidental.
If you succeed, keep trying.
If you fail, it's just a fight to the death!
When that time comes, Naigong will not let you go to attack Guanqiu Jian with peace of mind even if he has to splash blood on your face!
Cao Mao was very relaxed at the moment and even told Queen Mother Guo many interesting stories.
"It is rumored that there was an emperor in the past who rewarded his ministers after giving birth to a child. In order to flatter him, some ministers cried and said to the emperor: I have received your reward without any merit. I really dare not accept it."
"The emperor asked: Do you still want to take credit for this matter?"
Queen Mother Guo suddenly laughed.
"I don't know where you heard these dirty things! You even made up stories about past emperors. Which emperor is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Cao Mao smiled and said, "It's rumored."
Well, actually this is what happened to a certain founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty who did not want to be named.
Cao Mao then told other interesting anecdotes, "It is rumored that there was an emperor in the past who kept 10,000 beauties in his harem. As a result, he couldn't even remember them. He didn't know who was who, and he didn't know who to favor. In order to solve the problem, the emperor came up with a clever idea, and ordered a sheep to be brought for him to drive. If the sheep stopped in front of the concubine's door, he would favor the concubine."
"In order to gain the emperor's favor, the beauty began to study sheep seriously. Some people planted leaves in front of the door, some sprinkled salt at the door, and some even went so far as to steal the lambs from other people's ewe and hide them at home. The ewe became anxious and pulled Emperor Si rushed into her house."
"A group of beauties in the harem are too lazy to scheming. They spend all day studying sheep. Some of them start to plant grass in the fields and engage in agriculture. Some start to raise sheep and herd sheep and engage in animal husbandry."
Queen Mother Guo laughed again.
"How could you make it up and get ten thousand beauties? How could such a ridiculous thing happen?"
"Rumor ear."
Cao Mao said again.
Well, actually, this is what the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty did, who did not want to be named.
Queen Mother Guo's original tense state was immediately relieved. Listening to Cao Mao telling all kinds of strange rumors, she burst out laughing from time to time.
Different from the relaxed and joyful atmosphere in Zhaoyang Palace, the court discussion at this moment was particularly depressing.
Sima Zhao finally no longer hid among the officials. He sat directly in his brother's seat.
This scene made many ministers' eyes twitch.
What does it mean? ?
"Everyone, my brother still has something to do. He has entrusted me to conduct today's court meeting. I will stay here for the time being and handle the important affairs of the temple on his behalf. I hope you will not blame me."
Sima Zhao said with a smile.
Immediately someone got up and complimented him.
Sima Zhao looked at the ministers in front of him again. This time, the meeting did not start with the traditional project of eating melons, which showed the urgency of the situation.
Sima Zhao said seriously: "It turns out that Shangshu Xunyi once said that there may be great changes in Huainan."
"The general didn't care. This is because he believed in the character of General Zhendong and was unwilling to fight with his colleagues, which would cause the lives of people to suffer and Shuwu to benefit."
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yi's face suddenly turned dark.
Sima Zhao did not tell lies, Xun Yi indeed told the general so.
But the problem is, you can't give this kind of private advice in front of the ministers.
I'm on your side, but you can't kidnap me openly!
Xun Yi didn't say anything. He felt extremely angry in the face of the suspicious eyes of the officials.
"The General has a kind heart and has reported to the Emperor that His Majesty personally summoned General Zhendong to come to the temple as a Taiwei."
Sima Zhao ignored the change in Xun Yi's expression and said loudly again: "The wise men in Huainan reported to the temple that General Zhendong is hoarding food on a large scale at this moment!"
"The merchants in Hebei were robbed by him, and all the food they carried was robbed!"
"The wealthy families in Huainan were forced by him to pay grain!"
"He even sent people to collude with Wu State and wanted to buy grain from Wu State!"
"What is General Zhendong doing?! When he first supported the emperor, he was the first to write to the temple to express his support for the current majesty. But now, he has begun to hoard food and prepare troops!"
"The disloyal intention is revealed! It is infuriating!"
"General Rende, I really don't want to provoke a war, and I want to persuade Guanqiu Jian again not to betray His Majesty's trust and not to act disobediently!"
"What do the officials think they should do now?!"
Sima Zhao looked at everyone, and suddenly there was the sound of armors clashing outside.
The ministers were shocked and looked around, but they didn't see any soldiers.
Sima Zhao wants them to express their position now.
Sima Fu, who was sitting among the ministers, had a complex expression and kept shaking his head.
Sima Zhao's handling of this matter was too rough.
The ministers have no intention of following Guanqiu Jian. What are you doing?
Demonstrate your authority? Force the ministers? ?
The next moment, Sima Fu found that Youzi was actually looking at him, asking me to express my opinion? ?
In an instant, Sima Fu understood.
This guy is not intimidating others, he is intimidating himself! !
Master Sima has been meeting with him these days, asking him to help him do things.
Sima Fu, who was supposed to be the family's backbone, was now forced to stand at the forefront and do the most dirty things that he should not touch.
And what does this scene look like in Sima Zhao's eyes?
My brother was about to die of illness, and then my uncle went to his study every day. Suddenly he became proactive, looking for ministers everywhere, conspiring with them, and actively participating in major events in the temple.
Did this Inuru Zi think that he was going to take over Sima Shi's position? !
Sima Fu was furious.
All the officials were waiting for Sima Fu to get up and cooperate with Sima Zhao, but after waiting for a long time, Sima Fu remained silent.
Sima Zhao's face turned cold.
"Everyone, the world is about to undergo great changes. Isn't there a loyal minister in the country?!"
Sima Zhao asked angrily.
At this moment, I saw someone standing up.
The eyes of the officials immediately fell on him.
The person who got up was Wang Xiang.
Wang Xiang has done a lot of things recently and has a great reputation. The officials are a little shocked.
Wang Xiang stood up, but first glanced at Lu Yu in the distance.
Lu Yu felt a chill in her heart and immediately felt that something was wrong.
"I think that the envoys sent to Huainan have not returned yet, and Huainan is a place where wars have been fought for a long time. Wu thieves invade the army all year round. In the past six months, the temple has become more and more contemptuous of Huainan. The general Zhendong is hoarding food and grass. It cannot be said that it is If you have a disobedient heart, maybe you want to hoard food and grass to resist the Wu thieves!"
"When the angel has not returned, if the general talks about this matter rashly, it will be suspected of alienating the emperor and his ministers and provoking war!"
"I believe that we should not act rashly, and we should inform the ministers not to reveal these things, lest they force the generals of the temple to rebel due to speculation and benefit Wu and Shu!"
"If this is the case, doesn't it mean that he has sinned against the world?!"
