"Hua Gong, please summon many casual knights now, sir, and ask many ministers to come to the east hall to pay their respects."
"Zhang Jun, please contact Sima Qian, Zhong Yu, and Zhong Hui, inform them of this matter, and ask Zhong Hui to come to the East Hall."
The two took the order and immediately turned around and left.
Cao Mao suddenly looked at Cheng Ji.
"Chengjun, go and call General Sheep."
After everyone left, Cao Mao began to think about counterattacks.
It is not possible to let Guan Qiu Jian lead troops to Luoyang now, not to mention resisting Wu. The result of doing so will be war with Sima Zhao, and then the Chinese army and Guan Qiu Jian will fight.
Cao Mao was not afraid that Guanqiu Jian would not be able to defeat him, but he did not want to start a war with Sima Zhao, thereby taking advantage of the thieves in the temple.
He wanted to inherit Sima Shi's wealth. People like Du Yu and Deng Ai were all good talents. It was really inappropriate to waste them in internal fighting.
As for Sima Zhao, he had to find a way to completely oust Sima Zhao and make himself the successor of Master Sima. To accomplish this, he actually had to rely on Sima You.
According to legal principles, Sima You is the son of Master Sima, and he must have more inheritance rights than his younger brother. If he can get the support of Yang Huiyu, he can divide Master Sima's power into two, and then gradually win over Sima Zhao's subordinates. of capable ministers.
In the end, even if Sima Zhao is unwilling to bow his head, he can get what he wants. If he wants to oppose him, then find a way to kill him.
But the most important thing now is what's going on in the temple. He doesn't know why the ministers who have many conflicts suddenly let go of their prejudices, but since they plan to attack him, let them know the pros and cons first.
Let them see the difference between themselves and Master Sima, otherwise, they will not know how to be afraid.
Does Naigong really care so much about his own power and the power of Wei?
When Nai Gong was in a hurry, he took all of you to be buried together! !
Cao Mao decided to take the struggle to a higher level. He also wanted to see if he could compete with the ministers with the power he had accumulated for more than half a year.
"Husband Xu!"
Cao Mao suddenly shouted.
Immediately, several eunuchs came to Cao Mao.
They lowered their heads and looked sad.
Cao Mao was originally very close to them, but they gradually got carried away and even left their posts without permission, thus being alienated by Cao Mao.
Cao Mao also had Zhang Hua and others around him, so he was not in a hurry to forgive them.
"His Majesty!"
They looked at Cao Mao eagerly, hoping to regain the emperor's favor.
Cao Mao said seriously with a straight face: "Now go and inform the eunuchs everywhere so that they can pay attention to the situation in the palace. Remember to report to me at any time if there is anything."
Mr. Xu quickly saluted, "Wei! I will never let you down!"
"Well, please don't make any mistakes this time. Otherwise, there will be no need to talk about such things as permanent attendants."
"only!!"
The eunuchs also left here.
Cao Mao began to think deeply. The officials must be killed.
Just scaring them won't make them feel scared, but it's not the time to kill yet. If you want to kill them, you have to at least wait until you meet people like Deng Ai and appease Chen Tai who lives in the northwest.
Chen Tai can also be regarded as the legacy of Master Sima, and he is one of the few ministers who wants to be shameless.
He has outstanding abilities and is both civil and military.
Sima Yi's Luoshui Alliance oath made him lose face, so he invited himself to the frontier, which was a bit like self-exile.
Otherwise, with his status and qualifications, he should have entered the Shangshutai and become the actual ruler of the Wei Dynasty.
If we can get Chen Tai and Deng Ai, plus Guan Qiujian, Ma Long, Yin Damu, Cheng Kuo, Li Zhao and Ji Kang from the Chinese army.
You can just wash away the temple with blood without any hesitation. No matter what family you are, Master Sima has already told him the best way to deal with these people and kill their clans.
Cao Mao was deep in thought when he suddenly heard the noise outside.
A eunuch hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty! Chengjun and others were blocked from the palace door!"
Cao Mao laughed again.
"follow me!"
Cao Mao led many eunuchs and guards and quickly walked out of the west hall.
When they arrived at the main entrance of Tai Chi Hall, Cheng Ji was shouting something loudly along with Gao Dan.
Gao Dan led the soldiers in the palace and stood in front of them.
"Do you want to rebel?!"
"Get out of my way!"
Chengji was roaring.
Gao Dan was not afraid of him, but said coldly: "I was ordered to protect your majesty. I am an internal official in the court. I have done many evil things and have been dismissed. You can go back and wait for the edict!"
Cheng Ji was extremely angry, "I have never heard of this edict! Whose edict is this? Is it the edict of your old dog father?!"
Gao Dan was furious, "How dare a thief insult my father!"
"This is the order of the minister. The internal officials in the court allowed your majesty to get close to eunuchs and alienate mother and son. This made your majesty behave more and more dissolutely, indulge in women's sex, disrespect the queen mother, distrust the ministers, and drink alcohol during the sacrificial days. When shooting in the palace, aim the arrow at Soyangjeon!!”
"Your Majesty is still young, and his mistakes are understandable. However, the ministers turned a blind eye to this and allowed your Majesty to make mistakes. The minister has issued an edict to remove you!"
"Now that you have left Tai Chi Hall, don't come back in again!"
Cheng Ji was stunned. He had seen people framed, but he had never seen someone so shameless.
Who knows the emperor's filial piety to the queen mother? I have to go see him every morning.
What kind of debauchery, unfilial piety, indulging in women, aiming at Zhaoyang Palace when shooting arrows, drinking alcohol during sacrifices, just open your mouth!
I thought that the courtiers were all dignitaries, but I didn't expect them to be like this.
Yang Hu frowned and asked calmly: "Is this an order from Shangshutai? Did it come from Duke Zheng? Or did it come from Situ?"
Gao Dan looked at Yang Hu, his eyes a little wary, but looking at the people behind him, he gained some confidence.
"Yangjun, you are also among those who were impeached. You are no longer the protective general. This is an order issued by the ministers at the Shangshutai after discussion. You are new here. You did not know the situation and made a mistake. But the mistake It’s not big, you can forgive me, just go home and wait! Don’t make more mistakes!”
Yang Hu suddenly realized.
"It's the order of the ministers."
Inside the Chancery.
The ministers gathered together in one place, their faces very cautious.
Zheng Chong sat in the upper position, dissatisfaction almost written on his face.
He was very opposed to the actions of the ministers this time.
However, Zheng Chong, the minister, was more like a puppet of the ministers than Cao Mao.
Gao Rou, Sima Fu, Wang Xiang and others looked at each other.
Just today, Sima Fu and Wang Xiang found Gao Rou. The three of them had been plotting for a long time, but Sima Fu still used Gao Pingling's story to threaten her.
Gao Rou was already extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior, and Wang Xiang also gave up the idea of using the emperor's conflict with them to advance himself.
Because he found that the emperor would not act according to his own ideas, and Gao Rou and Sima Fu would not attack the emperor alone.
In this case, Wang Xiang proposed to calm down the ministers first, stop fighting for future positions, and get things done first.
Wang Xiang believes that if the officials continue to fight among themselves like this, Sima Zhao and Cao Mao will definitely benefit in the end. The current situation is very unfriendly to the officials.
After conspiracy, the three parties finally reached an agreement.
Get the big things done first, take all the power back to the chancellery, and then compete for ranking.
The three people may not necessarily trust each other absolutely, but they have common interests and demands, so they can temporarily put aside each other's personal gains and losses and work together to deal with the emperor.
After deciding to join forces, Sima Fu expressed his thoughts.
He convicted the current servants. Those accusations sounded like they were referring to Hua Biao and many of his ministers, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were all alluding to His Majesty's faults.
They accused the guards headed by Cheng Ji of allowing the emperor to shoot arrows in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace, and several times they shot arrows at the entrance of Zhaoyang Palace.
They reprimanded the servant Zhonghua for tolerating the eunuchs, which made the emperor get close to the eunuchs.
They reprimanded many of the casual knights, claiming that they were the ones driving a wedge between mother and son, causing discord between His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
When the three big men joined forces, the edict was issued quickly.
When they jointly raised this matter, the ministers were very happy.
Finally, there is no need for internal fighting anymore. At first, they were talking about how many benefits they would bring after taking power, and the ministers followed suit.
But now, I don't see any benefit at all. They are fighting all day long, and the ministers are in bad luck one after another.
They have long had enough of living on tenterhooks like this.
Now these three people have decided to stop fighting among themselves and focus on their work. This is everyone's blessing!
Better days are coming!
The ministers were looking forward to this.
Even ministers like Chen Qian were a little shaken at the moment. After all, if the Shangshutai was at peace, he could do big things without waiting for the emperor to appoint him.
The same is true for Zheng Miao. If the temple is peaceful, he can protect himself.
Among the people, only Wang Jing was particularly angry.
These people want to depose the emperor!
The crime they fabricated for the emperor was really too big. Just shooting arrows at Zhaoyang Palace. This is slightly twisted, that is, they wanted to kill his mother. They could directly deprive the emperor of all his power, and even depose him as a commoner.
Wang Jing felt extremely guilty when he thought that not long ago he was trying to persuade the emperor to calm down and not take action.
If His Majesty is really harmed by these villains, wouldn't he become an accomplice?
What to do now?
He was in sharp contrast to the cheering ministers in the court.
Gao Rou said: "I have given an order to my son to beware of those villains who jump over the wall and are not good for Your Majesty."
Sima Fu continued: "Speaking of which, Your Majesty is still too young to distinguish right from wrong."
"Your Majesty, you are the elder in the clan, what do you think?"
Sima Fu looked at Cao Yu.
The eyes of all the ministers fell on this clan minister.
The elderly Cao Yu trembled all over as he faced those hostile eyes.
It's endless, right?
Do you still want to use my hand to harm the emperor? !
