Sima Zhao's army stayed in Shouchun for a month, and in April, he led the Chinese army back to Luo.

Tens of thousands of elites surrounded the emperor and the empress dowager Luan, but the emperor Cao Chao did not have the slightest sense of security.

Everywhere there is talk of Sima Zhao's great military exploits.

There are also some words with ulterior motives that are very cleverly introduced into Cao Chao's ears: "The general's achievements cover the world, if he is not rewarded generously, he will not be able to determine the hearts of the people in the world." ”

When I arrived in Luoyang, sure enough, the monarch and the ministers continued to admonish, "The general's father and son have done their best for the Great Wei, and the country has today's prosperity. ”

Cao Chao is very cooperative.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is allowed to play or not, the jade seal of the country is in the hands of the Queen Mother Guo.

No one in the court objected, and some even euphemistically proposed to be crowned Sima Zhao as the king of Jin.

Back in the palace, Cao Chao went directly to the Empress Dowager Guo to discuss.

"Erchen wants to crown the general as the king of Jin, I don't know what the queen mother wants?" Cao Chao was very respectful.

The situation in the court before Gao Pingling was originally that Empress Dowager Guo was sitting in the court, and Cao Shuang, the clan lord, and Sima Yi, the hero of the family, checked and balanced each other, forming a three-legged situation.

It's a pity that Cao Shuang took the lead in breaking the balance and imprisoned Empress Dowager Guo in Yongning Palace, seizing the power.

But in fact, this balance of power has been broken.

caused Empress Dowager Guo to secretly fall to Sima Yi.

After Sima's father and son took power, they actively wooed the Guo family and married him.

However, at this time and at that time, the Empress Dowager Guo was the queen mother of the Cao family after all, and she had a deep relationship with Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming favored her alone, and she once gave Queen Mao death.

helped Sima Yi because Cao Shuang pointed the finger at her first.

Now, the Sima family is dominant, and if Cao Wei's country is not guaranteed, the Empress Dowager Guo's empress dowager will also be at the end.

Cao Chao was gifted and intelligent, and after many days of hard thinking, he found an ally for himself.

"What does the Emperor think?" Empress Dowager Guo is in her early fifties, living in the deep palace all the year round, well-maintained, graceful, and elegant, and the years have not left too many traces on her face.

"The general has made outstanding contributions and deserves to be crowned king." Cao Chao said seriously.

Empress Dowager Guo raised her eyebrows, and waved her hand to let the servant girl waiting beside her step down, "Isn't the emperor worried that the Great Wei Dynasty will fall into the hands of others?" ”

Cao Chao smiled: "Does the queen mother think that the Great Wei Jiangshan is still in the hands of the Cao family?" ”

One sentence made Empress Dowager Guo stunned.

In fact, before Sima Yi was in Gaopingling, everyone in the world thought that he was the reincarnation of Yin Huo, and Sima Yi had always been such a character.

Empress Dowager Guo hoped that Sima Yi would overthrow Cao Shuang and assist Cao Wei, rather than replace Cao Wei.

"Only one Zhuge birthday, he will be crowned the king of Jin, he will sweep away the western thief every day, what will he seal again?" Empress Dowager Guo looked at Cao Chao with the pity of the elders in her eyes.

At that time, it was she who overrode public opinion and vetoed Sima Shili's resolution to establish Cao Yi, the king of Pengcheng, and set up Cao Chao, the noble township prince.

can compete with Sima Shi for a long time, it can be seen that Empress Dowager Guo's methods are not simple.

"You can rest assured, you don't have to come to temptation again, as long as the mourning family is here, the country of this Great Wei must be surnamed Cao." Empress Dowager Guo said.

However, when this sentence fell into Cao Chao's ears, the meaning changed a little.

If she is gone, wouldn't Da Wei be surnamed Cao?

"Thank you to the queen mother, the son has succeeded to the throne for many years, and if you want to borrow the jade seal, please ask the queen mother for permission."

"Oh? What do you want a jade seal? Empress Dowager Guo was a little puzzled, but it didn't matter immediately, even if the emperor had any edict and stamped the jade seal, it would have to pass through Shangshutai, could it be ......

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes flashed, "That's it, this jade seal is yours, and the mourning family is just in charge." ”

When the matter of advancing to the throne was the most fierce, Empress Dowager Guo stood up, and all kinds of voices suddenly became a little quieter.

Even Sima Zhao was a little weak in the face of Empress Dowager Guo.

At this time, the emperor's edict also came down, and the eight counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Leping, Xinxing, and Yanmen in the east of the river in Sizhou, and Pingyang in the east of Sizhou, set up the Jin State for 700 miles, and named Sima Zhao as the Duke of Jin, plus nine tin, and carried the Xiangguo.

This is a real land splitting and sealing the territory, just like Cao Cao put Wei in the past.

Sima Zhao resigned nine times in a row, and each time there was Yang Zheng's name in the resignation table, "Although the thieves in the east are today, the thieves in the west are rampant, so that Yongliang is lost, and the minister does not dare to think about it, when he sweeps Yang Zheng in the day, it is the day when the minister dismisses his armor and returns to the field......"

Cao Chao took advantage of the trend, named Yang Zheng as the leading general and the marquis of Guzang, conquered the dynasty, and supported Sheji together with the general.

The edict also asked people to personally send it to Sima Zhao to ask for advice.

Sima Zhao checked the edict repeatedly, and was puzzled, "Could it be that the emperor wants to order Yang Er to do Dong Zhuo's thing?" ”

This trick is the ancestral craft of the Sima family.

When Sima Yi killed Wang Ling, he was promoted to lieutenant.

When dealing with Xiahou Xuan, he was promoted to the Great Honglu.

But then it didn't work very well, Sima Zhao destroyed Zhuge before his birthday, he was promoted to Sikong and entered the court.

Now seeing that the emperor also knows their craft, Sima Zhao can't help but feel a little strange.

"You might as well give this strategy a try, Yang Zheng has always regarded himself as a retainer of the Cao family, if he doesn't come, he will lose his trust in the emperor, and his nature will be violent to the people of the world, if he comes, he will fall into the mouth of the tiger!" Jia Chong said.

After returning to Luoyang, Zhong Hui went to Hedong to meet the famous Ji Kang.

Wang Su died of illness last year, Zheng Yuan has always stayed out of the matter, and the other Shao Yi and others are now speechless.

Jia Chong found a good opportunity.

After thinking about it for a while, Sima Zhao felt that it was not bad to be disgusting Yang Zheng.

If Yang Zheng really came by the edict, he couldn't ask for it.

At this time, it was Sima Zhao's most complacent time, and it was inevitable that he would be negligent, and he humbled Jin Gong nine times, so the next meritorious service would come naturally.

"What does my uncle think?" Sima Zhao didn't ask anyone else, but only asked Yanghu.

No one can be offended, and he arched his hand and said: "My subordinates think that Yang Zheng will not obey the edict." ”

Sima Zhao laughed twice, "I want to make you a messenger, how about watching Liangzhou's virtual reality?" ”

It's a proposition.

The vast majority of people in the DPRK and China were persuading to advance, but Yanghu did not move.

That's why Sima Zhao is making trouble today.

Yang Zheng is the son-in-law of the Xiahou family, and so is Yanghu.

The emperor suddenly took the initiative to cooperate with Sima Zhao to deal with Yang Zheng, which was certainly not simple.

But if you directly refuse, you will expose your cowardice, and with Sima Zhao's eloquent character, the suspicion will only get deeper and deeper.

"The general has an order, Hu'an dares not to obey, but his subordinates are only shallow in learning, and he is only afraid of delaying the general's major affairs, and he also invited Jia Changshi to go with him. Yanghu pulled Jia Chong, who was watching the excitement, into the water.

Jia Chong scolded secretly in his heart, Zhuge is a celebrity after all, and he also talks about love, that Yang Zheng's tiger and wolf nature, I heard that in Liangzhou, he built a Beijing view at every turn, and he went by himself, and there was still a way to live?

The key is that now Jia Chong is too anxious to hug Sima's stinky feet, and his reputation is not very good, and Zhuge Dan's scolding has spread all over the world.

"By all means, Yang thief kills people and sucks blood, leads beasts to eat people, and it is the duty of his subordinates to go to the soup and fire for the lord, but the lord's great cause is not competitive, how can his subordinates leave the lord's left and right?" Jia Chong looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

At the same time, these words also reminded Sima Zhao that he was still useful.

Sima Zhao laughed, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously!" ”

Jia Chong didn't go, and Yanghu naturally didn't have to go.

In May of the third year of Ganlu, the edict of Emperor Cao Chao of Wei went out of Beijing, with Shangshu Wang Jing as the messenger.
