Although Empress Dowager Guo is shrewd and has outstanding skills, she is still not psychologically prepared for Cao Shuang's sudden forced palace, and for a while, she was confused.

After all, she is a woman, she has been in the palace for a long time, and she has never seen the power of swords, so many cold and shining knives and guns are standing around, which frightens her to lose her face and scatter, and the usual majesty of the queen mother is gone at this moment.

Cao Shuang's action to force the palace was very sudden, and he didn't even reveal the slightest rumor in advance, which made Cao Fang and Empress Dowager Guo at a loss for a while.

Cao Shuang presented Cao Fangmian with a pre-prepared recital, in which he bitterly stated the harm of women interfering in politics and society, and then implored the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to move the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace, to live for a long time, and no longer interfere in the affairs of the court.

Cao Fang was stunned after listening to the music, although it was said that the Empress Dowager Guo was not his biological mother, but since he entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Guo regarded him as her own and treated him very closely.

Most of the Zhaoyi talents of the first emperor have been sent back to their hometowns, and some of them are outstanding, and they were quietly included in his mansion by Cao Shuang, and most of them are in the harem of Nuoduo, in fact, there are not many people at this time, Cao Fang and Empress Dowager Guo depend on each other, and they are very affectionate.

When Cao Fang heard that Cao Shuang was going to expel Empress Dowager Guo from the palace, her heart was about to break, she knelt on the ground, sobbing and begging Cao Shuang bitterly, hoping that he could open the net.

Cao Shuang stood with his hands in his hands, unmoved, and said with a cold smile: "Since ancient times, only ministers have kneeling to the Son of Heaven, how can there be a Son of Heaven kneeling to the ministers, Your Majesty, hurry up, Hugh is like this, and kill the ministers." Women are involved in politics, just like a chicken in the morning, not the blessing of the community, I hope that Your Majesty will put the community first, and not abolish the public for personal reasons. ”

When Cao Fang first ascended the throne, he was just an eight-year-old child, and when such a young child became an emperor, he naturally didn't understand anything, and he naturally had a feeling of daunting in the face of the solemn hall.

And the auxiliary minister Cao Shuang always has a straight face and a serious expression, which makes Cao Fang have a psychological shadow at a very young age, and he is very afraid of Cao Shuang.

And even if Cao Shuang presents Cao Fang's recital, he has never let Cao Fang make a decision or negotiate, and all his recitals are almost all in a tone with orders, which cannot be questioned or opposed.

Cao Shuang did this not out of disrespect for the Son of Heaven, but from the bottom of his heart, he thought that a little kid could have any opinions, and as an auxiliary minister, he could make decisions for him.

So Cao Shuang's attitude has extended from the past to the present, and there has been no change at all, but he ignored that Cao Fang is no longer a little kid who didn't understand anything back then, and now he is sixteen years old, and he is even taller than Cao Shuang, but unfortunately, in Cao Shuang's eyes, there is still no change at all.

In Cao Fang's eyes, Cao Shuang's dictatorship was arrogant and unreasonable, how not to make him tremble and be afraid, so in the face of Cao Shuang's reprimand, he could only stop crying, stand up honestly, and dare not refuse Cao Shuang's recital.

With the edict of the Son of Heaven, Cao Shuang became more and more arrogant, and when facing the Empress Dowager Guo, he could not fake his colors.

When Empress Dowager Guo got the news, when she wanted to send someone to find Sima Yi and Jiang Ji and other ministers, it was already too late, Cao Shuang had already guarded against her, and the forbidden soldiers she brought had completely blocked the palace ban, not to mention people, even a mouse could not escape.

At this time, the lonely Empress Dowager Guo was in internal and external difficulties, so she had to agree to Cao Shuang's performance and moved to Yongning Palace.

Before leaving, Empress Dowager Guo and Cao Fang's mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and the palace people around them also cried one after another, but Cao Shuang was not moved at all, which can be called hard-hearted.

Cao Fang, who is usually silent and rarely speaks, can say nothing in Cao Shuang's eyes, rubbing him round is round, rubbing him flat is flat, let him knead it.

And Empress Dowager Guo is different, this woman is not as submissive as Cao Fang, she is shrewd and capable, flexible in her mind, and good at using her wrists, from a captured prisoner of war to becoming the Empress of Emperor Ming, it is enough to see her strength.

Empress Dowager Guo's methods are clever, not only reflected in the battles in the inner palace, but also in the court, she is also good at taking advantage of the discord of various ministers to seek the greatest benefits for herself.

Cao Fang has been the son of heaven for eight years, from an eight-year-old child to a sixteen-year-old boy, Empress Dowager Guo has already begun to plan to let him come to the government.

The benefits of Cao Fang's pro-government to Empress Dowager Guo are obvious, that is, their mother and son are no longer constrained by auxiliary ministers, and they truly have the power of the emperor.

But Cao Shuang turned a blind eye to Cao Fang's pro-government, and even deliberately avoided it, thinking that he was greedy for power and handed over power as late as possible.

Of course, Empress Dowager Guo was dissatisfied with this, believing that when the Son of Heaven came to pro-government, the auxiliary ministers should take the initiative to hand over power and create favorable conditions for the pro-government of the Son of Heaven. Cao Shuang acted perversely, harboring evil intentions, and clearly had other plans.

That's why Empress Dowager Guo tried to connect with other courtiers and wanted them to balance Cao Shuang. The marriage with the Sima family was obviously part of this plan, and Empress Dowager Guo wanted to borrow the power of Sima Yi and other ministers to force Cao Shuang to hand over power.

But it backfired, and the marriage between the Sima family and the Zhen family had not yet succeeded, and Cao Shuang had already learned about their intentions.

Cao Shuang's counterattack this time was quite sharp, under the pretext that women were not allowed to interfere in politics, he launched a forced palace and moved the Empress Dowager Guo to Yongning Palace, and said that it was moved, but in fact it was like house arrest, except for a few palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who served the Empress Dowager Guo, it was difficult for other people to find an opportunity to approach Yongning Palace.

Because Cao Shuang was in charge of the power of the forbidden army, the palace was forced to go very smoothly, and when Sima Yi and others got the news, the Empress Dowager Guo had already moved to Yongning Palace.

There was an uproar among the entire courtiers, Cao Shuang's move was simply complicity, what kind of person is the Queen Mother, that is the mother of the Son of Heaven, extremely noble, but Cao Shuang used the power in his hands without authorization, put the Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest in Yongning Palace, and abolished it without permission, which was very disrespectful.

The courtiers were furious, and they ran to Taifu Sima Yiyou one after another, denouncing Cao Shuang's actions, and they all wanted to promote Sima Yi as the leader and hold Cao Shuang accountable.

Don't look at Cao Shuang is now the chief auxiliary minister, but many young officials from big families don't seem to be afraid of him, after all, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, even if the Empress Dowager Guo has a loss of personal morality, then at least she has to tell the world, now Cao Shuang is so arbitrary, he will naturally be dissatisfied by everyone.

With this incident as the fuse, the forces of the family and the Cao clan completely parted ways and stood on the opposite side.
