Malone was a little confused at the moment.
Not long ago, I was an unpopular Wu Meng. What is the situation now? ?
Seeing the confused Ma Long, Cao Mao laughed.
"Don't real men have the ambition to help the world?"
"Yes! I am willing to serve your Majesty!!"
Ma Long, who had been working hard to overcome his background and climbed up, reacted instantly and knelt down in front of Cao Mao.
Cao Mao helped him up again and immediately let him sit next to him.
"I have heard of your name a long time ago. I know that you are loyal, brave, and a rare general!"
"That's why I asked Mr. Chen to bring you to the temple and let him use you."
"I was discussing important matters with Mr. Chen today, and suddenly I learned that you were only given one official. I thought it was inappropriate, so I called you here."
"Actually, I don't really want to see you. You may not know that the temple is in turmoil today and all the ministers are staring at me. If you appear in the palace like this, you will be feared and hostile by many people."
Ma Long said solemnly: "Your Majesty! I have such great love from Your Majesty that I am willing to die for Your Majesty! Why should I be afraid of others?! Even though Your Majesty orders me, I am not someone who is afraid of death!!"
Cao Mao couldn't help but say a few good words.
He took Malone's hand and exchanged warm greetings with him.
The two discussed for a long time, and Cao Mao just said: "Yes, maybe you can be assigned to the Chinese Army. With your talents, you can command a battalion of the Chinese Army."
Malone immediately stood up and thanked him.
But Cao Mao didn't promise him anything. After drinking and chatting, he let him leave.
Zhang Hua and Wei Shu didn't ask any more questions. They both understood that after meeting for the first time, they definitely couldn't entrust important matters directly. They had to meet a few times and develop feelings several times before moving on to the next step.
Moreover, many things are not ready yet, and it is not a good thing to leak too much in advance.
Cao Mao was in a very good mood. He did not expect Ma Long to come so quickly. Now that Ma Long has arrived, his plan can continue.
The next step is to arrange his own people into various battalions of the Chinese army. With these five people, including Yin Damu and Cheng Kuhe, the Chinese army is almost under his control.
Of course, things will definitely not be so easy, and cleaning up the Chinese army in the future will also be very troublesome.
However, Cao Mao is quite confident in himself.
Just when he returned to the west hall happily, Chengji couldn't bear it anymore.
"His Majesty."
"Um?"
Cao Mao looked at Cheng Ji, "Chengjun, what happened?"
Cheng Ji hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "You want to reuse Zhang Jun and Wei Jun. They are both talented people and know a lot. I don't know what to say, but the person you summoned today is obviously He's just a martial artist, but you care so much about him. What can he do that I can't?"
"If your Majesty needs someone with martial arts skills, I think I am not weak to others!"
"Your Majesty is very kind to me. I am not complaining about Your Majesty, but I also want to do something. Otherwise, how can I accept your Majesty's reward in the future?"
When Cao Mao heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Chengjun, didn't your brother serve as a school captain?"
"What are you anxious about?"
"I also want to serve His Majesty!"
Cao Mao shook his head and said seriously: "The reason why I didn't let you go to the Central Army is because the composition of the Central Army is mixed and it is really not a good place to make meritorious service. The temple is still very chaotic. If you canonize it now, go to If we have a better position in the future, won’t it be taken away by others?”
"Chengjun, don't be anxious, and wait until the situation in the court is settled."
"When the time comes, I will definitely let you go to Yongliang. That's where a man can make meritorious deeds!"
Cheng Ji nodded and agreed.
Cao Mao still has many things to do next. One is to meet Gao Rou and then arrange for his cronies to join the Chinese army.
The second is to meet Zheng Miao and then start to lift the shackles on the clan.
Both of these things must be completed as soon as possible, before Sima Shi counterattacks and before the temple is stabilized.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to do
In the General's Mansion.
Yang Huiyu looked at Zhong Hui in front of him in shock, completely unable to understand why he came to find her.
Zhong Hui was not welcomed anywhere, even in the general's palace, and his reputation was not very good.
Yang Huiyu often heard his relatives scolding him.
She looked at Zhong Hui in front of her with an increasingly cautious expression. Could he be looking for trouble?
I never provoked you!
Zhong Hui smiled and saluted. Not to mention, Zhong Hui's appearance was quite a bonus under normal circumstances.
"Madam, I came to you this time to discuss important matters with you."
"Oh? When discussing important matters, you should go to the general or General Zhengxi. I am just a woman in the harem, what can you discuss with me?"
Zhong Hui shook his head, "The general is seriously ill. We can no longer discuss this matter with him. We can only discuss it with my wife."
Yang Huiyu asked helplessly: "Then what on earth do you want to tell me?"
"Madam, the general is seriously ill. Would you be relieved if General Zhengxi takes his place?"
"What should I worry about?"
"You are now tied to the Sima family, not just you, but the entire Yang family. Your brother is in such a key position, but no one dares to win over him until now. This is proof."
"As for General Zhengxi, he tends to panic when big things happen. If the general is still here, he can regain some sense. But once the general dies, I'm afraid he will get worse and become even more irritable. Do you think this kind of situation now? Given the situation, would it be a good thing for an irritable family head to inherit the position?"
Upon hearing Zhong Hui's inquiry, Yang Huiyu shook his head, "I don't understand even what you said."
After marrying Master Sima, the first thing Yang Huiyu learned was to keep her mouth shut.
Master Sima doesn't need a smart wife, he just needs a wife who won't cause him trouble and can help him appease everyone.
Yang Huiyu is a very smart person, but she has never shown it. She does her own thing with peace of mind and never pays attention to anything.
This is also her way of survival.
Zhong Hui continued: "This method was safe when the general was still there, but now that the general is leaving, it is not so safe."
Yang Huiyu narrowed his eyes, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say that if General Zhengxi succeeds to the throne, it will be detrimental to all of us. Therefore, You should be allowed to inherit the position of general."
"What?? You're not even ten yet!"
Zhong Hui said seriously: "Yes, it is because he is young that he is asked to inherit the ambition of the general. He can go to the palace, accompany the queen, and play with Guo Ping. The palace is the safest. In this place, no one can plot against him, and when the emperor takes power, he can take over the position of general."
Only then did Yang Huiyu react, "You don't want You to succeed to the throne, you want His Majesty to succeed to the throne!"
"Ma'am, do you understand now?"
Yang Huiyu shook his head, "You're crazy. The Sima family is not dead yet. How can it be possible for an outsider to inherit? Even if it's a son-in-law, even if you have such an idea, why come to me?" What does this matter have to do with me?”
"This matter has a lot to do with Madam. If General Zhengxi comes to power, it will be the end of the Sima family, and you will definitely suffer from it."
"I never lie. If the general dies, the officials will relax and will not continue to deal with the Sima family. However, General Zhengxi is not a person who is willing to give up. He will counterattack again, which will eventually lead to a war. During the war, the three Sima clans were killed by the wife clan."
Yang Huiyu stood up and said angrily: "That's enough!"
"I won't listen to your nonsense, you'd better get out!"
Zhong Hui stood up and said, "I heard that Your Majesty attaches great importance to your brother and has the idea of employing him. Madam, don't delay yourself and the two clans for unnecessary things."
"That's all I have to say, the rest is up to you to decide!"
Zhong Hui saluted again and left here immediately.
Yang Huiyu sat down blankly, thinking a lot for a while.
But Zhong Hui had already appeared at Wang Yuanji's place.
If Yang Huiyu was only afraid of Zhong Hui, then Wang Yuanji had a naked dislike for Zhong Hui.
Wang Yuanji disliked Zhong Hui very much, the kind who was unwilling to salute when they met.
At this moment, seeing Zhong Hui taking the initiative to visit, Wang Yuanji unexpectedly let him in.
Wang Yuanji sat in the upper position with a straight face.
"Zhongjun, what's the big deal when you come to my place?"
"It's about Gongziyan."
"oh?"
"Madam, you are a very smart person. Let me tell you directly. I came here this time on your Majesty's order to seize the Sima family's property."
Wang Yuanji was furious immediately, "How brave! Are you bullying me into not daring to kill you?!"
Immediately, Wang Yuanji was eager to try.
Zhong Hui shook his head, "I thought you had seen through the facts and that's why you summoned me. Didn't you expect that you summoned me just to kill me?"
He looked at Wang Yuanji calmly, "His Majesty sent me here to do something, and you just killed me. What do you think will happen next? Is this going to start a complete war?"
"Besides, no matter how wrong I am, I am still a member of the Zhong family. You don't think that my brother really doesn't care about me, do you?"
Wang Yuanji sneered, "If you want to take away someone's property, don't you allow people to kill you?"
"This family property is destined to be undefeated. Do you think it will be possible for General Zhengxi to defend it, or for Young Master Yan?"
"Which one of them can do it?"
"Instead of having it taken away by outsiders, why not help Your Majesty get it?"
"If Your Majesty gets it, wouldn't it be a good thing for your children?"
"At least, Your Majesty will not take them to die."
"Madam doesn't want to see them buried with the general, right?"
ps: I stopped saving the manuscript three days ago. Today I wrote until 4:30 in the morning and finally broke through my limit. It is more than 20,000 words, which is really not easy.
In the past 20 days, I have updated more than 300,000 words. I hope everyone can enjoy reading it and be happy.
In the first month after the new book was put on the shelves, it was hung up and beaten on the monthly voting list. There were too many big names, and I couldn't beat it. I hope everyone can vote for it. Thank you all, and I will definitely keep up the good work.
