Master Sima's face, which remained unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain, changed at this moment.
Sima Shi originally had many comments about the emperor.
He thought the emperor was reckless, smart, and courageous, and now, he had another comment on the emperor.
Shameless.
Co-author: Did you come to my general's mansion with great fanfare to receive my inheritance? ?
Looking at Master Sima who was silent for a moment in front of him, Cao Mao said again: "My father-in-law, I know you can still seriously injure Lu Yu, Gao Rou and others, but what's the use of this?"
"Your condition has deteriorated to this point. It makes me feel sad to see you."
"Even if you kill Lu Yugaorou and others now, what's the use?"
"When you are gone, they will come back, and they will be even more ferocious than this time. By then, won't our family be in danger?"
"Does Father Zhong really have the ability to face this situation? Moreover, Father Zhong's health is not very good. If it is An Shi, can he do it?"
"My father-in-law, at this point, it is no longer possible for my family to be in power. Instead of using up all this strength to fight against the aristocratic family, you might as well leave them all to me. If my father-in-law entrusts me with his great cause, I will definitely lead them to deal with these things. A great family can solve internal and external troubles. In this way, it will live up to Duke Xuanwen’s ambition!”
After listening to Cao Mao's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Master Sima could not calm down for a long time.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, please come back."
Sima Shi ordered the guests to be driven away.
Cao Mao said again: "My father-in-law, please think about it again. This will not do any harm to us. An Shi and I are close friends. When I take control of the temple, I can secretly abolish the general and make him the general." General!"
Master Sima's face suddenly darkened.
"Your Majesty, please come back!!"
Cao Mao was a little reluctant to give up. He wanted to delay for a little longer, give the general more strength, and send the general away as soon as possible.
He simply broke the news: "By the way, General, Gao Rou has already started to take action against me. He wants to persuade the Queen Mother to imprison me. It may not be easy to see you in the future. I hope General can do this." Please help me figure out how to solve it!"
"My son-in-law, please resign!"
Cao Mao waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the inner room.
When Sima Master was still alive, Cao Mao would not form an alliance with them. He could not trust Sima Master. Who knew that Sima Master today was not pretending to be ill?
If I jump out and run for him now, I don't know when I will be stabbed in the back by him.
The Sima family has no credibility and cannot be an ally.
Cao Mao did not want to form an alliance, but just waited for Sima Shi's death to inherit his inheritance. Who said that only sons can inherit the inheritance? Can’t the son-in-law do it?
He wanted the Sima family to be used for himself, not through an alliance, but through a relationship between monarch and minister.
In other words, this guy just wants to control the Sima family, support the puppet general, and then dominate the government.
Gao Rou and Lu Yu are not the only ones who want to be Sima Masters.
Cao Mao wants to be one too!
After walking out of the inner room, guards immediately walked into the room, but Sima Zhao and others did not go in and stood waiting outside the door.
"Second Father"
Cao Mao walked forward with a smile.
"I have also seen my father-in-law's condition. You should take more care of him, don't let him get up, and always stay with him. I will come to visit my father-in-law often to help him recover as soon as possible!"
After listening to Cao Mao's words, Sima Zhao couldn't comment and just nodded.
Sima Zhao looked at Sima Yan beside him and ordered: "You see off His Majesty, I will also go to accompany your uncle."
Cao Mao waved his hand and said, "No problem, I'm going to see my mother-in-law and children. Father Zhong will go and do some work. I'll see you later."
Sima Zhao walked into the inner room, and Sima Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father leaving.
"I have been wanting to go to His Majesty these past few days, but my father won't let me!"
Sima Yan complained, "He didn't allow me to go out and sent more than ten soldiers to follow me. What on earth is going on in the court?"
"I heard that the ministers took the opportunity to rebel? I asked people around me, but no one told me."
Cao Mao motioned for Sima Yan to follow him and walked toward the backyard, as if he was the real owner of the mansion.
"An Shi, my father-in-law is critically ill, and the ministers are vying for his position."
"The position of general is so attractive. Even an old man like Gao Rou, who is about to be buried, is jumping around at the moment and his eyes are red."
Sima Yan suddenly realized.
"I see!"
Cao Mao continued: "This is all because I am young and the officials don't care about my thoughts at all. They all want to fight for power and disrupt the temple."
Sima Yan also had the same trouble, "Oh, who says it's not the case?"
"Every time I asked my father about important matters, he always said that I was still young and would ruin his affairs, and refused to tell him. People around me knew what my father said and refused to tell me. I always felt that I was alone, and also refused to tell me. I can’t understand what they are doing and what they want to do.”
Sima Yan looked a little confused.
Cao Mao said seriously: "They are busy helping the country!"
"Although the traitors in the court are powerful, the general has never thought of giving in. Now, even though he is sick, he still has to fight these people to the death!"
"An Shi, at this time, don't make trouble for your uncle! Don't ruin their big event!"
Sima Yan nodded quickly, "I understand."
"Where does my son live?"
"Huh?? Oh, I'll lead the way."
The two walked for a long time and finally came to a courtyard where Yang Huiyu lived.
Before entering the door, I heard a child's laughter coming from inside the house.
Cao Mao and Sima Yan walked into the courtyard together, and someone immediately came out to greet them and led them into the inner room.
There were not many people in the house.
A woman sat in the upper seat with a kind expression. It was Yang Huiyu. She looked at the emperor in front of her with a smile, her eyes were very bright, and there was no hint of any malice.
Sima Yu was holding a child at the moment, and the child was loudly telling what happened to him these days.
Next to Sima Yu, there was another child.
Looking at the child's appearance, one can tell that he is Sima Zhao's biological son, and he looks very similar to Sima Zhao.
Cao Mao also knew the identity of the other party in an instant. It was Sima You, Sima Yan's half-cousin.
Before the others could react, Sima You saluted Cao Mao.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!!"
"Get up."
Cao Mao smiled and glanced at An Shi next to him. Well, no wonder An Shi felt so uneasy.
Cao Mao took the initiative to meet with Yang Huiyu.
It was the first time for Yang Huiyu to see the emperor. When she saw Cao Mao, she was a little surprised.
I didn't expect him to be such a handsome boy.
Sima Yu probably didn't expect Cao Mao to come, so she still held the child in her arms and looked at Cao Mao with some confusion.
Cao Mao looked at the little guy in her arms.
"Ping? Is that you?"
The little guy looked a little shy. When he saw a stranger, he immediately hid his head in his mother's arms and did not dare to speak.
Cao Mao laughed and said to Sima Ku: "Sit down, don't get tired."
The "family" just sat down and surrounded Yang Huiyu.
Yang Huiyu was the first to ask about Cao Mao's situation in the palace, just like a real elder.
Cao Mao also answered truthfully, without any mistakes.
Sima You secretly tugged on Sima Yan's sleeve.
"Brother, why is Your Majesty here?"
"I'm here to take you to the palace to be a eunuch."
Sima Yan said, Sima You rolled his eyes at his brother and muttered.
Cao Mao chatted with Yang Huiyu for a while and then deceived Guo Ping.
"Aping, how are you doing here?"
"good."
"So do you miss your mother?"
"think."
"Then do you want to live with us?"
"OK!"
Guo Ping was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, brother!"
Cao Mao pursed his lips and reminded: "Call me Father."
Guo Ping was a little shocked. He looked at the person in front of him again, "But I already have a father."
"Your father went to a very far away place, and he entrusted me to take good care of you, so you have to call me Father, do you understand?"
"But you don't have a beard"
Guo Ping stared at Cao Mao's smooth chin, and Cao Mao couldn't help laughing, "Who said that a father must have a beard?"
Yang Huiyu listened to their conversation, but looked at Sima Yu who was aside. Sima Yu was also surprised and didn't understand what Cao Mao wanted to do.
Cao Mao looked at Yang Huiyu and said, "Mother-in-law, I want to take Ping to the palace and let him live with us for a while. Although you take good care of him, after all, the child is still young and needs his parents by his side."
Yang Huiyu said without hesitation: "Of course it's possible, but I am a womanly person, so I still have to listen to your father-in-law on this matter. Your father-in-law likes this child very much and is reluctant to let go of it. If you just take him like this, He must be unhappy if he leaves."
Sima Yu looked at the child and then at Yang Huiyu, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Sima Yan clapped his hands and said, "That's it! Let this little guy go to the palace. Later, we will summon celebrities. You can also let him show up and let the celebrities give him comments!"
Sima Yu's heart trembled and he quickly said: "How can Ping have such talent?"
"What kind of talent does this require? Celebrities are all like this. They just flatter each other and have no real talent. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely make him famous at a young age!"
Sima You was shocked when he heard his brother's words.
"Brother, how can you despise the world's celebrities like this?"
"What do you know?! How many celebrities have you just met?!"
Sima Yan said seriously: "Don't be deceived by those people. You must remember that these people are not worthy of trust!"
Being scolded by his brother, Sima You felt aggrieved and kept his head down without speaking.
Yang Huiyu's eyes were filled with surprise again.
Sima Yan has actually made such progress?
Cao Mao said with a smile: "As An Shi said, in the palace, Ping will become a great person sooner or later!"
