"I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother!!"
The ministers collectively bowed to the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Guo sat in the upper position blankly, looking at the ministers in front of her, she could not describe her mood at the moment.
She didn't expect that Wang Xiang actually accomplished this!
Is the world yours now? ?
Will you be the common master of the world from now on?
Cao Mao sat close, and he could clearly see the exaggerated changes in the Queen Mother's expression.
Flames suddenly burned in her eyes, she clenched her hands and looked straight at the ministers in the distance.
Cao Mao was sure that this man must have dreamed of ruling the world.
The ministers paid their respects one by one, and they all said the same things as Lu Yu. They all said nonsense like that the general was seriously ill and hoped that the Queen Mother would come forward.
Zhaoyang Palace has never been so lively.
The Queen Mother has never seen so many ministers. In the past, those ministers who were aloof were now respectful and even stood in front of the Queen Mother. They did not dare to sit down without an order from the Queen Mother.
It is too easy for foxes all over the dynasty to play with a queen mother who is not good at power.
Queen Mother Guo's performance was very much in line with the expectations of the ministers.
Why do the ministers prefer Sima You to Sima Yan?
Just because his hair is long?
Isn't it because he is more controllable than his younger brother? And today's Queen Mother Guo is no less generous than Sima Yan, even worse than Sima Yan!
The ministers need such a nominal ruler who is easy to fool and easy to manipulate.
Cao Mao did not miss this good opportunity. This was the first time he saw so many ministers face to face, but he did not try to steal the show from the Queen Mother.
The ministers basically ignored his attitude at this moment.
This is normal. After all, my own edicts are not as useful as those of the Queen Mother, and I am not of much use to them at the moment.
If you rush out now, the ministers will not pay attention to you, and it will make the Queen Mother have other ideas.
Cao Mao now knows the Queen Mother very well.
If she came out to talk to the ministers now, the Queen Mother might feel that she was trying to rob her of the power of "ruling the world."
Therefore, Cao Mao chose to sit quietly in the corner, staring at these ministers, to get to know them better.
From the changes in their expressions and from their speech and behavior, I secretly gave them different evaluations in my heart.
From the current point of view, Gao Rou and Lu Yu both have the idea of taking the upper hand.
Wang Xiang is unwilling to fight for it, probably because he knows that he can't win it, but he will definitely make moves in the future.
Xun Yi seemed to have no intention of seizing power and was very polite. But in fact, he had been observing the Queen Mother since he came in and adjusted his words. If he didn't take it to heart, he could just follow the others and part ways. , why do you need to be so concerned about the Queen Mother?
This guy is just pretending not to care.
Cao Mao looked at everyone and recorded their reactions one by one.
In a sense, these people are more hateful and terrifying than Master Sima.
It is true that Sima Shi wanted to usurp the throne, but his policies were still biased towards governing the world. In these years, he actually listened to a lot of advice and implemented many policies that were beneficial to the country.
But these big families only care about their personal desires, and they don't care what happens to the country or the people.
The tricks that Cao Mao can use to master Sima Shi are basically useless in front of these people.
Cao Mao knew exactly what kind of beast he had unleashed.
But Cao Mao has no regrets.
Because this ferocious beast was not raised by Cao Mao himself. If we talk about the source, we have to go to the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Xi who ruined my family, then to Liu Xiu who compromised, and finally to Cao Pi. Sima Yi and the others are the ferocious beasts. It grows stronger step by step, and sooner or later it will jump out to eat people.
Historically, they ate the descendants of Sima Shi and others, but now, Cao Mao just asked them to jump out in advance and let Sima Shi feel what happened to his descendants.
Rather than waiting until the ferocious beast reaches its peak to come out to eat people, it is better to release it when he is still young. After all, there is still a ruthless Sima Shi here. Maybe he can survive a few tricks and pull out a few bullets from the ferocious beast. tooth.
In fact, no matter how hard these two forces fight, Cao Mao will not feel distressed.
After all, neither side is a good thing.
The Queen Mother Guo discussed with the ministers for a long time, and their attitude towards the Queen Mother was completely different from the past.
At this moment, Gao Rou suddenly stood up.
"Queen Mother! I have something to say!"
Queen Mother Guo's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. She had never seen Mr. Situ look so respectful.
"Mr. Situ, please speak."
"I think that Lieutenant Colonel Sima Xun is rude and has no talent, so it is difficult for him to hold the position of Lieutenant Colonel!"
"I ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to remove Sima Xun from his post and appoint a wise person to take up the position!"
The ministers looked at each other a few times, and Lu Yu even narrowed his eyes.
Today, the defense of the palace walls is of course nominally the responsibility of the guard Xin Chang. As for the internal imperial army, it is Yang Hu who is in charge. When it comes to the various palaces, it is Sima Xun who is in charge.
Although Sima Xun's official position is not high, his status is really important.
He is the one closest to the Queen Mother.
Although they knew that the Sima family was unlikely to do such a crazy thing as attacking the Queen Mother, after all, the opponent was Master Sima, and no one was sure whether this guy would go crazy. Is there anything he couldn't do?
Weiwei is now on their side, so there is no need to worry. As for Yang Hu, although he is related to the Sima family, among the many ministers present, who is not related to the Sima family? This is not important. Judging from his attitude today, there is no need to replace him in the short term.
The only thing to worry about is Sima Xun.
This person must be replaced by one of his own family members.
Seeing Gao Rou speak so eagerly, Lu Yu's face was very calm.
The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "Who do you think Mr. Situ can take up?"
"I do not shy away from relatives when promoting talents. My son is tall and brave. He is proficient in riding and shooting. He has excellent martial arts and extraordinary courage. I think he can take on this important task."
Gao Rou said righteously.
A trace of disdain flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.
Queen Mother Guo looked at the other ministers and then agreed with a smile.
"Okay, pass on my edict to make Gao Dan the lieutenant colonel of the palace!"
"only!!"
The ministers responded immediately.
Next, the other ministers did not say anything more. They just expressed their loyalty to the Queen Mother and then resigned together.
Cao Mao sat next to the Queen Mother and looked at Wang Xiang who was among the ministers.
Wang Xiang, like Cao Mao, also chose silence. He was obviously the one who contributed the most, but at this moment he remained silent and had no intention of making a show of himself.
After the ministers left, Queen Mother Guo could no longer bear it.
"My son!"
"It's done! It's done! The big thing is done!!"
Cao Mao stood up in a hurry and said, "Congratulations, mother!"
"Defeat powerful enemies and dominate the world!"
Queen Mother Guo laughed so happily, she looked at Cao Mao again, "From now on, we, mother and son, don't have to be afraid of that Sima Master."
"My son, who do you think should be given the position of general of Sima Division?"
Cao Mao was stunned for a moment, good fellow, this Sima Master is not dead yet, and you are already thinking about his position?
Cao Mao saluted again, "My son is young, how dare he talk about state affairs? Whoever my mother thinks can be a general should be a general."
"Hahaha, okay!"
Queen Mother Guo was even happier. She looked at Cao Mao sitting next to her and said seriously: "My son, don't worry. Sooner or later, this world will be yours. Now that you are still young, it is up to me." Come and govern for you, and I will definitely leave you with a powerful Wei Dynasty so that you don’t have to worry about everything!”
Cao Mao listened to the Queen Mother's skillful painting of cakes and immediately thanked her again.
"Mom, you have taken over the power now, and I have a merciless request."
Cao Mao scratched his head and spoke hesitantly.
Queen Mother Guo didn't resent Cao Mao's request at all. She even felt very happy when she saw her son asking for her in such a way.
"My son, just ask!"
"Mom, my two Huangmen officials are both from the Sima family. They stare at me all day long, which makes me very scared. Can you help me replace them?"
Queen Mother Guo thought it was some big deal. When she learned that it was this matter, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Okay! I will issue an edict to remove them now! Who does my son want to be the Huangmen official?"
Of course they are Wen Yang and Ma Long.
Cao Mao thought in his heart, if these two people stood at the door of Tai Chi Hall, how many heads would Master Sima have?
Of course, just think about it in your mind. For now, we still have to focus on the overall situation.
"Dr. Taichang Zhang Hua."
"Shang Shulang Wei Shu."
Cao Mao said two names without thinking.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment. She frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is this Hua?"
"He is the son-in-law of the late Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Liu Fang."
"I heard from Mr. Ruan earlier that this man is a talented person like Wang Zuo. His poem "Ode to the Wren" is really well written. I really want to have such a talented and talented person by my side."
Queen Mother Guo laughed again. It turned out that she was just a small celebrity who could write articles. She also said that Wang Zuo was so talented. I was shocked.
She asked again: "Then who is Wei Shu?"
"I heard Mr. Ruan say that this man is eight feet two inches tall, with a beautiful appearance and a majestic body. He can drink more than one stone of wine! He is just a bit slow and not very smart."
Queen Mother Guo immediately said: "Don't worry about my son! Since you are such a famous person, you should come to assist my son! I will issue an edict now to let the two of them stay by my son's side to accompany you to drink and write poems." !”
"Thank you mother!"
Cao Mao thanked her happily, and the two chatted for a while before Cao Mao left Zhaoyang Palace.
After walking out of Zhaoyang Palace, Cao Mao smiled.
Everyone was already waiting outside the door. When they saw Cao Mao coming out, they hurried forward.
The eunuchs were particularly uneasy at this moment. The officials suddenly came to Zhaoyang Palace. Although they didn't know what happened, they were sure that it must be something big.
The two Huang gate officials of the Sima family were pale at the moment. When they saw the ministers respectfully entering the Zhaoyang Palace and then walking out of the place in a swagger, they could no longer calm down.
Only Chengji looked at everyone blankly.
What happened? ?
