Chapter 204: Please ask the emperor to take charge of the court himself
What the four adults didn't expect even more was that General Sima didn't seem to be hostile or disgusted with them.
That's fine, then the next conversation will be easier, Lord Xiao looked at General Sima with great admiration, and his impression of him was not bad, and then he personally moved a stool and added it to the four of them, and Lord Cai personally poured tea for General Sima.
When General Sima saw that these adults were moving stools and pouring tea for themselves, he understood that there must be something to ask for. General Sima is a martial artist, and he is used to going straight and doesn't like the literati to twist and pinch like that, so when Lord Cai came up with tea, General Sima didn't accept it when he didn't know the purpose of the trip, and he didn't refuse to go. Just told Master Cai to put it aside.
"Put it down, Lord Cai, you are an official of the imperial court, so you don't need to be so polite to a civilian like me." General Sima replied indifferently and couldn't make out any meaning.
However, this made Lord Cai a little embarrassed, his eyes twitched, and he gave himself a round.
"Hehe, the general is really a straightforward person in temperament, so the official is not welcome, please take care of yourself."
General Sima took the stool handed by Master Xiao and sat down, and then opened the topic, "Let's talk straight, what did you adults ask me to do here for no reason?" It can't be as simple as drinking tea and catching up, right? I deliberately made an appointment in such a remote place to talk about things, and I didn't want the sixth or second person to know. ”
"Haha," Lord Xiao chuckled, "General Sima is really observant. Okay, then Xiao Mou will have something to say, in fact, this time, I and a few adults want to ask the general for something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I want to ask the general to join us in helping His Majesty regain power!"
…… When the words fell, the situation suddenly fell silent, General Sima did not answer, and the other adults did not respond, because they were waiting for General Sima's answer with wide eyes at the moment, wanting to hear what he would say.
But General Sima did not answer, and several other ministers were a little anxious and anxious.
Just when Lord Cai, who was anxious, couldn't hold his breath and was about to ask General Sima, General Sima smiled, and his laughter was crisp and loud, and he couldn't hear the taste.
"Hahaha, the adults aren't kidding me, are they? Why would you suddenly say such a thing? It can't be deliberately to entertain the old man, right? General Sima half-jokingly.
"No, General Sima!" These words made Lord Xiao even more anxious, General Sima was not a stupid person, how could he not understand such a straightforward word, could he not have answered this because he didn't want to help them, so he was very anxious. This is the only way, if it doesn't work, it will really be hopeless to serve the country in this life, so Lord Xiao gritted his teeth and tried his best to persuade General Sima.
"You don't know how we are? How can a man who has read the sages deceive you with nonsense. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time, and we have nothing to do. It just so happens that you are a general with heavy troops, so maybe you can give it a try. The first emperor took you a lot back then, and now it's time for you to repay your kindness, can you bear to watch the Jiangshan Society ruined in the hands of a woman! ”
The more Lord Xiao spoke, the more excited he became, the faster he spoke, his saliva squirted out, and his fists clenched into the green tendons, and he could see that what he said was very strict, and there was no joke.
Seeing this, General Sima put away his joking attitude and began to answer Lord Xiao's words seriously.
"Lord Xiao, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to laugh at you. But if you trust me so much to do this, that's fine! We can plan this well. ”
General Sima agreed so readily, and agreed so hastily, without the slightest solemnity as if he had to take an oath before making a big event. This made Lord Cai a little uneasy, "Wait, General Sima, this matter is not trivial." If a few of us dare to tell you this, we are risking our lives. This is not a big deal, we are just afraid that we have finally done enough, and the emperor has finally become pro-government and caused a lot of trouble. After all, the emperor just took over the government and still needed to consolidate his power, and the general holding a heavy army would inevitably be talked about, and it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings in the future. ”
Lord Cai said very tactfully, but this kind of words are not easy to say, even if the rhetoric is gorgeous, it is very uncomfortable for the other party to sound, unless the other party doesn't care about this.
The atmosphere cooled down again, and no one spoke, and then all the adults looked at General Sima and Master Cai cautiously and cautiously, for fear that there would be anger between the two.
But General Sima still smiled and relieved, "Haha, Lord Cai is really thoughtful, I am afraid that my high merit will destroy the majesty of the emperor." Although this may sound ugly, if you think about it carefully, you can be regarded as dutiful, at least for Your Majesty, you even think of these. Okay, I promise you, after the deed is done, you will retire, but when the time comes, it is always okay to ask Your Majesty to give you some gold, silver and jewelry to go home for the elderly, right? ”
General Sima easily relieved the embarrassment and handled the relationship between him and the four adults very mellowly. Now everyone was relaxed and laughing happily, Lord Cai brought the teacup to General Sima again, General Sima drank it all, and several people began to plot.
After leaving the tea stall, the four adults began to lobby the other ministers. Some of the ministers here are determined to follow the Queen Mother, and some are duplicitous and are in a wait-and-see period. And there are a lot of such ministers. But when they heard that General Sima was going to act, they immediately turned around and became a gang with General Sima.
After all, the news that General Sima had raised a lot of soldiers in the city had already spread, and they decided to choose a tree to live in.
This matter was very smooth, and then the next morning, many adults knelt at the door of the queen mother's bedroom and asked the queen mother to retreat to the harem, asking the emperor to take charge of the court himself.
"Please retreat to the harem, please ask the emperor to take charge of the court himself!"
"Please retreat to the harem, please ask the emperor to take charge of the court himself!"
The hard voices of the ministers came into the ears of the Queen Mother, and the angry Queen Mother gritted her teeth and turned around angrily. But the sound is getting louder and louder, and there is no momentum to stop.
The Queen Mother was so troubled by these incantation-like voices that she grabbed the quilt and covered her face to avoid those voices. But the sound was still endless, the queen mother's teeth were itching, one turned around and sat up suddenly, and then tore the quilt to pieces.
"Come on, come on!" The sound of anger came from inside the house to outside the house like a devil's roar. Those maids and eunuchs who served the Queen Mother were outside, but seeing so many officials brushing against the sky, the Queen Mother's power seemed to have been greatly reduced, and they didn't dare to obey the Queen Mother's orders. No matter how the Queen Mother yelled inside, no one entered. In the end, the people scattered in a hurry! (To be continued.) )
