Luoyang, General Wei's Mansion.
"Father!!"
"Father Zhong!!"
Sima Yan and Sima You stood together and bowed to Sima Zhao.
Sima Zhao saw his wife and children again, and felt indescribable bitterness in his heart. He glanced at Li Hu, who was standing not far away, and slowly closed his eyes.
"Get up."
The two stood up. Sima Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Father, are you okay?"
Sima Zhao immediately frowned and looked at Wang Yuanji who was not far away.
Before Sima Shi died, he told Sima Zhao that if things didn't work out, don't tell Sima Yan about the big event, and let him continue to be a loyal minister of the emperor. He could focus on training Sima You, and the Sima family would still have a chance to get ahead in the future. .
But looking at the look on his face, he obviously knew everything.
Wang Yuanji was a little helpless. She had no choice at the beginning. She was afraid that Sima Yan had no intention of becoming an accomplice against his father. Who knew that the emperor didn't need it at all and could easily get rid of her beloved.
Sima Zhao sighed and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Sima Yan looked at Li Hu at the door, as if he knew something, and then saluted Li Hu and said, "Gentleman, our family is getting together, can you wait outside the door?"
Sima Zhao wanted to persuade him, but it was too late.
But what Sima Zhao didn't expect was that Li Hu nodded and said "Wei!" Then, he left the place and even closed the door thoughtfully.
Sima Zhao looked at him in astonishment, then looked at Sima Yan.
Sima You whispered: "Father, my brother has been very close to His Majesty recently and has won His Majesty's love. These people do not dare to disobey him."
Wang Yuanji asked angrily: "Do you have the right to speak here?!"
Sima You immediately didn't dare to speak.
In private, Sima You still calls Sima Zhao his father and Wang Yuanji his mother.
When his brother said this, Sima Yan was a little at a loss.
He was also very conflicted. Cao Mao was his best friend, but he was opposed to his father.
Sima Zhao laughed at this moment.
"An Shi, you did a good job."
"ah?"
An Shi showed his signature expression and looked at his father.
He thought that this meeting would be very unpleasant, and he was even prepared to be scolded.
Sima Zhao seemed to be relieved.
After the failure, Sima Zhao was worried that his actions would take away the clan at once.
If the entire clan was destroyed because of him, Sima Zhao felt that he would have no face to see his brother.
The current situation is also not optimistic, but as long as there is still fire left, it cannot be said that there is no chance of winning.
The Sima family is still a very large clan. A large clan means that there will be no shortage of talents.
After experiencing this failure, Sima Zhao seemed to understand what his brother meant.
The reason why his brother asked him to assist the emperor in the first place was not because he couldn't believe in his ability, but because he wanted to wait until the family had accumulated enough money to make a fortune.
If it can become a member of many big families, the Sima family will definitely become the most advantageous one among the many big families.
He obviously can't look back now, but his son still did it.
If Sima Yan can save his clan, the Sima family may not have another chance to make a comeback in the future.
As for the eldest son's talent, Sima Zhao was not worried at all. The eldest son only needed to maintain the relationship with the emperor. The real hope was that Sima Zhao glanced at Sima You next to Sima Yan.
But he still didn't say it clearly.
Sima Zhao said with emotion: "An Shi, your grandfather was a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty. Your uncle was just too worried about the temple and had no evil thoughts. He was radical and his methods were the same, so he attracted criticism."
"Speaking of which, it's all my fault. I believed the traitor's slander and made a mistake."
"From now on, you must assist the emperor with your heart and atone for my sins. The future of the clan will be entrusted to you."
Hearing Sima Zhao's words, Sima Yan suddenly became excited.
"Father!!"
"I will never live up to your high expectations!!"
"No, don't live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"
"I made a big mistake, and His Majesty rewarded me with a mansion and sent people to take care of me. Your Majesty's kindness must never be forgotten!"
"only!!!"
Sima Yan finally felt completely relaxed.
Wang Yuanji probably also knew what Sima Zhao was thinking. The two sons left one after another, and Wang Yuanji stayed with Sima Zhao.
"What will my beloved do in the future? Will he be imprisoned like this for the rest of his life?"
Wang Yuanji's eyes were full of sadness.
Sima Zhao said with a straight face, "Our family has experienced worse things than this, but we still survived. Although I have failed now, there are still many capable people in the clan, and many young people are not mediocre. There are With these people here, what do you have to worry about?"
"I will study here and cultivate my character. One day, we will see with our own eyes the rise of the clan. The great cause left by my father and brother will definitely be completed!!"
Sima Zhao became determined again
At this moment, in the Tai Chi Hall, Cao Mao frowned and looked at the golden rice in front of him with a cautious expression.
Zheng Xian explained: "My sister and I ate what we made last time. This time I tasted it first. It's really delicious. Your Majesty can try it."
Cao Mao was still a little hesitant.
"Didn't I say that? You don't have to do this, so why do you do something that makes me unhappy?"

"I know His Majesty doesn't like me, but the matter of starting a family is not something I can decide."
"Since we must get along, why can't we get along well?"
"I am trying to get along with His Majesty, and I have never disturbed His Majesty when he was doing important things. Why does Your Majesty have to be so indifferent?"
Cao Mao picked up the chopsticks.
"I'll just eat. After you finish eating, you have to leave!"
"good!"
Zheng Xian was very confident in herself this time. She raised her head slightly, with expectation on her face again.
Cao Mao lowered his head and ate. Well, the taste was very good this time. It was much improved compared to the last time.
Speaking of which, I haven't eaten these meals for a long time.
There are fixed meals every day.
Cao Mao ate faster and faster. In Zheng Xian's bright eyes, Cao Mao quickly finished the plate of golden rice.
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Cao Mao originally wanted to praise him a bit, but when he said it, he said, "Your corn is not cooked well, and it almost broke my tooth!"
"Don't cook for my father-in-law in the future. One meal will make you look at least twenty years older."
Zheng Xian frowned and stuck her head out to look at the rice, "How could it be? If the food I had tasted was undercooked, how could His Majesty eat it so quickly?!"
"Didn't I say that? You have to leave after eating."
Zheng Xian's chest rose and fell a few times, she took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"Okay! If your Majesty wants to eat from now on, don't tell me!"
"I originally prepared a gift for His Majesty."
"what gift?"
Zheng Xian placed the package she brought in front of Cao Mao, "Look, I know you are diligent and thrifty, so I ordered the eunuch to take your tattered clothes and mend them for you. I heard that Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty wore mended clothes. Clothes can last for many years!”
Cao Mao picked up the old clothes in front of him, his eyes a little stunned.
This seemed to be the first time someone had mended his clothes.
For some reason, Cao Mao didn't curse this time. He glanced at it a few times and was about to praise him when he suddenly froze.
He pointed to his clothes, "What are you embroidering?"
"Dragon, tiger, Sui."
“Isn’t this what the emperor’s clothes are made of?”
"You call this a dragon???"
Cao Mao looked at the abstract four-legged snake on his clothes and almost jumped up.
Zheng Xian's face turned red and she quickly defended: "I've never done this before. It's my first time doing it, so it's a bit rough, but it will get better in the future!"
"Do you still want to have a future?!?"
"How can I, the mighty Emperor of Wei, come out to see people wearing such clothes? He's still Xiaowen! He's almost dead laughing!"
Zheng Xian was very angry. She stood up and said, "You don't wear these anymore. I took them to mend them. Or is mine wrong?"
"I didn't ask you to mend it."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave now, lest His Majesty will be angry when he sees me!!"
Zheng Xian left the west hall quickly with a straight face.
Cao Mao shouted loudly: "Mr. Xu! Look back! Don't let others touch my things! Also, don't let others enter the West Hall for no reason!"
Husband Xu outside the door lowered his head and sent Zheng Xian away, and shouted Wei with a wry smile.
Ever since the lady came to the palace, the Tai Chi Palace had become lively. He had never seen His Majesty like this before. The usually calm and calm Majesty would always quarrel with the lady.
It could be said that the emperor disliked her. Every time she came, the emperor would let her in.
Let’s just say I don’t hate them. Every time they meet, they are sarcastic and quarrelsome.
Even though Madam turned away angrily today, she will come again tomorrow, and the two of them will quarrel for various strange reasons.
In the west hall, Cao Mao looked at the twisted stitching and strange patterns, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Can this also be called a dragon?
Is this a snake with human legs, is this a mouse with teeth, and is there a rabbit?
If you wear this thing when you go out to meet the minister, are you afraid that you will have to leave your name in history by laughing the minister to death?
When Zhang Hua walked in, Cao Mao was still looking at the clothes.
"Your Majesty, Xun Xu wishes to see you."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Cao Mao's face immediately disappeared, and he put the clothes aside expressionlessly.
"Let him in."
Zhang Hua quickly brought Xun Xu to the emperor.
Xun Xu bowed his head, paid homage to Cao Mao, and then walked to the emperor's side with a flattering face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, your majesty has become even more powerful!"
"Um."
"I have found out what your Majesty ordered. There are twenty-three ministers who are in contact with Feng Yu. This is the list."
Xun Xu quickly put the list in front of the case.
"These people were all impeached and dismissed by Mr. Chen, and they all made many mistakes. They were the ones who organized Lu Xun's previous incident. That time they wanted to bring down Mr. Chen so that they could regain their position. "
"These people are only the people I have come into contact with, not all the dismissed officials. I heard that they have also interacted with many ministers. The failure to provide disaster relief and the embezzlement of materials seem to be related to them. They are doing evil in secret because they want to This is used to prove that there is something wrong with His Majesty’s newly appointed officials.”
Cao Mao looked at Xun Xu calmly, his eyes cold and scary.
