The palace door was opened again, and the ministers walked out in despair.
Cui Zan looked a little anxious and a little annoyed.
Xun Yi actually stayed in the Tai Chi Hall. If he had been more active just now, maybe the position of Pu She would be his?
"Alas, it turns out that we were defeated at the hands of His Majesty."
Cui Zan shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty is only fifteen years old. His talent and strategy are truly frightening."
Zhonglang Ling Yu Chun suddenly sighed.
Cui Zan looked at the young Zhonglang Ling beside him and said nothing more.
At this moment, the hearts of the ministers were extremely complicated.
They never expected that it would end in this way.
Not long ago, they were brazenly talking about how they wanted to divide the power in the Chancery, but now, they can't say anything.
The Emperor was far scarier than they thought.
The ministers seemed to have just believed Zhong Hui's evaluation at this moment.
Taizu of martial arts, literary works such as Chen Si.
This young emperor actually did all this. They were still a little confused at the moment and had to go home to calm down.
At this moment, Cao Mao had arrived at the place where Sima Qian and other captains were imprisoned.
Xia Houxian, Ma Long and others stayed here and did not leave.
Seeing Cao Mao, they hurriedly bowed to see him, and Cao Mao helped them up with a smile.
No matter what in the temple, this Chinese army is the key to him.
Cao Mao looked at Xia Houxian with sincerity in his eyes, "If this can be done, I have to thank Father Zhong."
In terms of seniority, Xiahou Xian is Cao Mao's elder, and his father is a cousin. Xiahou Xian quickly replied: "I don't dare! How could this be done if it weren't for Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty Shenwu, it is really the blessing of our ancestors that we, the Wei Dynasty, have such a wise king!"
Thinking of the grievances he had suffered over the years, and the fear on the faces of the ministers today, Xia Houxian felt indescribably happy.
Cao Mao then looked at Ma Long, Ji Kang, Li Zhao and others.
"Hahaha, when I first met Xiaoxing, I knew that Xiaoxing could achieve great things!"
"As expected!"
"If not for your majesty's promotion, I would be nothing more than a local warrior. I should die to repay your majesty's kindness!"
Cao Mao finally looked at Li Zhao, and they both laughed at the same time.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Cao Mao helped him up, "Today, we can finally stop hiding from others!"
Jiao Bo also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to exchange books for land."
Talking about the past, the faces of the three of them were a little bitter.
The layers of surveillance at the beginning made all three of them suffer a lot. Jiao Bo and Li Zhao were also the first to submit to Cao Mao, and were the first batch of confidants after Cao Mao arrived in Luoyang.
Cao Mao grabbed one person's hand with one hand and said with emotion: "I was alone at the beginning. If it weren't for the two of you, how could we have achieved such great things today?"
"Pass on my edict to make Jiao Bo and Li Zhao marquis! Give them six pieces of brocade clothes, three swords, and two chariots!"
"I dare not accept this!"
Both of them wanted to refuse. After all, the emperor had not rewarded others yet, and they did not dare to be the first to receive the award.
Cao Mao was very determined. He said to everyone: "When I came to Luoyang, these two people have been serving me. They have been by my side through life and death. They should be rewarded first."
Zhong Hui frowned, looking a little unhappy, but didn't say much.
After meeting everyone, Cao Mao just said to Xia Houxian: "Please return to the Central Army with many captains now and re-appoint many captains. Uncle Jiao, you will go with you."
Xia Houxian frowned, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy."
"It's okay. I'm giving you an order. You can take Xun Yi with you to release the people Sima Qian has imprisoned. As for the specific appointments, you can ask Lieutenant Ma more. He is the most familiar with the situation in the army. "
Xia Houxian accepted the order and immediately led many captains away from here.
Cao Mao then walked into the inner room.
In order to prevent them from having the opportunity to communicate, these Chinese generals were detained in different rooms. Fortunately, there were enough rooms in the palace.
Sima Qian sat in the room depressed, his face gray.
When he saw the emperor coming in, he had no intention of getting up and saluting, but just looked straight at the emperor.
He never expected that he would be defeated so quickly.
When his brother left, he handed over the power to himself, but she failed to live up to his high expectations.
"just kill me."
He spoke.
Cao Mao looked suspicious, and he personally stepped forward and untied the rope from Sima Gan.
"Why did Father Zhong say this?"
Cao Mao asked puzzledly.
Sima Qian sneered, "Since your Majesty has already succeeded, why do you want to humiliate me?"
"You are my father-in-law's biological brother, how could I humiliate you?"
Cao Mao said helplessly: "My father-in-law married me to me and asked me to complete his unfinished business. I had no choice but to take action against you because I was afraid that the Chinese army would fall into the hands of those wealthy families."
"Now that General Wei is not here, Gao Rou is already preparing to take action. I am helpless. In order to fight against him, I can only hide the truth from you temporarily."
Sima Qian was very vigilant. After what happened to Zhong Hui, he would never believe anything Cao Mao said again.
"Do you want to use me against my brother?!"
"What are you talking about? An Shi and I are as close as brothers, not to mention we are family, how can we do anything to him?"
"When General Wei comes back, the Chinese army will still be trained by him."
When Cao Mao said these words, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and his face was sincere.
"Father Zhong, it's still very dangerous outside the palace. Let's go and talk to me. Stay in the palace. When Luoyang calms down, I'll take you back in person!"
Sima Qian said no more.
He was so miserably deceived by Zhong Hui that it would be difficult for him to believe other people's words in the future.
But Cao Mao didn't care about this. He didn't need to kill Sima Qian, and he had a better way to deal with Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao still has troops in his hands, and there are many foreign generals outside who are taking orders from him. Cao Mao doesn't want to fall out with him or start a civil war, so it is most appropriate to resolve it in a friendly way like today.
This was also the reason why he chose to let Sima Fu go.
Sima Zhao still doesn't know what happened in Luoyang. He has many ways to deal with him. The simplest one is to follow Yun Mengze's tour.
It doesn't matter even if you can't do it, well, two of the four battalions brought out by Sima Zhao have actually surrendered to the emperor.
Cao Mao just took Sima Qian and Sima Xun and walked towards Shiqian Hall with a smile.
When he walked in here, Sima Yu was very surprised. He quickly put down what he was doing and stood up to pay his respects. Guo Ping also smiled and rushed to Cao Mao.
Cao Mao rubbed his head, then took Sima Qian's hand and said to Sima Wei, "Father Zhong is here as a guest. Hurry up and prepare something to eat!"
Sima Qian saluted Sima Qian, and Sima Qian returned the gift despite being embarrassed. After all, this was her real niece.
When several people were sitting here, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Sima Qian looked at the emperor eating and drinking in front of him, and couldn't understand how he could be so shameless.
He was obviously planning a coup to capture him, but now he was talking about family ties and even eating together, and the food was so delicious!
Cao Mao, who had been busy all day, had a full stomach, and then he stood up and said to Sima Yu: "I still have something to do. You can chat with Father Zhong first, and wait for me to come back."
He turned around and left without waiting for Sima Ku's answer.
There are no problems with Cao Mao's deployment so far, but Cao Mao does not dare to relax completely.
At present, he controls both inside and outside the capital, but the power of the ministers is still huge. Their people are distributed throughout the Wei Dynasty. Even if he captures them, Cao Mao cannot kill them.
We even have to divide and win over.
It can be seen from the selection of ministers that Cao Mao has no confidants to appoint.
He couldn't even find a confidant who could serve as the leader of Shangshutai.
This is especially true for the three ministers and nine ministers. We can't let young people like Zhang Hua hold the position, right?
This is the power of the ministers, a power that makes even Sima Shi feel troublesome.
You can't trust them, but you can't use them.
It is said that there is no shortage of people who want to be officials in the world, but the high rank in this temple is different. It cannot be held by just anyone, nor can it be given to others just because they want it.
When Cao Mao returned to Tai Chi Hall, Zhong Hui and others were planning their next move.
"General Zhendong."
Cao Mao spoke immediately and said seriously: "Send someone to Huainan to inform General Zhendong of what happened in the temple and ask him to gather the army and prepare for the war."
"If Sima Zhao leads the foreign generals to attack, General Zhendong will need help. He must be the first to know about this."
Zhong Hui nodded in agreement.
Zhang Hua said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I thought I could also contact the governor of the west, Chen."
"If we can get this person's support, then we will have the strength to suppress all foreign generals."
Zhong Hui said disdainfully: "Not just him, all the foreign generals should win over them, but in order."
"Chen Tai can't tell you yet, otherwise it will affect the morale of the troops and cause them to be defeated by Jiang Wei. Then something big will happen."
"I think there are two people we need to win over now, one is Guanqiu Jian and the other is Zhuge Dan."
"With the help of these two people, it's enough to sit back and relax."
Everyone discussed a lot more. After talking for an unknown amount of time, the sky began to get dark.
Only then did Cao Mao interrupt the discussion, "Everyone has been busy for a day, so go back and rest first."
"Shiji, please pay more attention to things everywhere and don't make any mistakes."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will watch."
After seeing them off, Cao Mao said to the eunuchs around him: "You all should go out, I have something to do."
The eunuchs saluted Cao Mao and then left the west hall.
Cao Mao was the only one left in the west hall.
Cao Mao stood up, walked a few steps, then found a good place and lay down directly.
Cao Mao just lay on the ground calmly.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed, and covered his mouth as he smiled.
Tears kept flowing from his eyes.
He just lay on the ground in the west hall, crying silently.
ps: After writing the last chapter, I lay down directly on the ground, but I didn’t cry. I have never written like this in my life. I wrote nearly half a million words last month, and I guaranteed four chapters a day, from morning to night. I haven't had a day off, and I feel really unbearable today. Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and finished writing.
Fortunately, the first climax has no impact, and I am personally quite satisfied. If you have any comments, you can leave a message and I will try my best to correct it.
