Metaverse.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the small county town.

On the official road, a group of heavily armed and tall knights drove proudly in the front, their armor making a noise due to the collision, with a great sense of oppression, and the pedestrians along the road retreated one after another.

They were followed by a sergeant, trotting at a very fast pace.

In the middle of the room, there is a carriage, on which a personable old man stands, holding a bamboo pole high with a solemn face, and his expression is quite reverent.

After the county order was finished, he did not have the same arrogance and indifference as before, his face was full of a friendly smile, and he was following the carriage on foot at the moment, leading a group of officials behind him.

The gate of the city was open, and the soldiers, who usually slept with their spears in their arms, stood up straight.

The streets, which were a little dirty in the morning, are now clean.

The beggars and the poor on the road did not know where they went.

Behind the soldiers stood the respected old men of the city, dressed in splendid clothes, looking at the frame with a smile on their faces.

There are also well-known local young talents, standing on tiptoe and looking in the direction of the carriage.

The old man in the carriage paid no attention to these people at all, and did not squint.

And to his left, there was a man riding a horse, also dressed as an official, with a serious face at the moment, like an old man in the car.

Only the one to his right was talking to the county magistrate at the moment.

"You Yuancheng, hahaha, it's going to be different from now on! Soar to the sky! ”

"That's, that's, the angel came, it was the blessing of Yuancheng, with the prince, Zheng Gong, and Hua Gong coming, Yuancheng must be soaring....."

"It has nothing to do with us."

This man was riding a horse, and he didn't look very stable, and he was quite rude in the face of the county order.

But the county magistrate didn't dare to say anything.

Not only because this person's identity is an angel and leads the servants, but more importantly, his father's name is Hua Xin!

This not-so-steady scribe is the son of the Great Wei Situ Huaxin, Huabiao.

Shu Wan couldn't help but ask: "I really don't understand, what is it that can make the three of you come to my little Yuan City.... Don't be too guarded...."

Huabiao was about to say something, when he saw the old man in the carriage glancing at him, and immediately touched his nose, not daring to say more.

"You'll find out later, you just lead the way, it's not a bad thing anyway."

I didn't say anything after the bundle, but I always had a bad premonition in my heart.

He asked in a low voice, "When the sages in the city learned that the angel was coming, they spontaneously came to greet them, and I wonder if they can talk to the prince?" ”

Huabiao hurriedly shook his head.

"Don't delay the business, let's talk about it when we're done."

"By the way, what kind of person are you, a noble countryman?"

After bunching up, he narrowed his eyes, no matter what the angel was looking for Cao Chao, he would never let him get his wish.

If it's a bad thing, I'll add fuel to your fire, and if it's a good thing, I won't let you do it!

He said quietly: "The noble townsman is smart, but the township reputation is not very good, and some people often say that he harbors criminals..."

Hua Biao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It seems that this noble townsman is a good person, he can't bear to see someone being punished, and often relieves and helps these people who are suffering from criminal law." ”

Shu Wan said: "But the specific situation, or the merchants in the city know best, I heard that the noble townsmen and businessmen make profits, and the businessmen often send money to him." ”

It can be seen that the noble townsman is tall and thin, and he never cares about money! Otherwise, if there is a way to make money, why should it be given to those merchants? The businessmen are also courteous, and they also know that they have to thank them, which is good, not bad. ”

I couldn't help it when I finished it.

"In fact, he often leads a group of rangers to cause trouble and brawls in the city!"

Huabiao clapped his hands, "Okay, the noble townsman is extraordinary!" Martial arts are superb! ”

Shu Wan was dumbfounded, is there a problem with your understanding or is there a problem with what I said??

The group drove towards Cao Chao's mansion in such a majestic manner, and those sages and scholars did not leave, following the angel from afar, their faces full of excitement.

When they arrived, the gates of the noble marquis's mansion were closed.

The knight dismounted and knocked at the gate.

Soon, someone opened the door.

It was Guo Zhi who opened the door, and he stood in front of everyone generously, without the slightest panic on his face.

The knight's eyes directly bypassed him, looked at the inner hall, and asked indifferently, "Where is the noble countryman?" ”

A trace of anger flashed on Guo Zhi's face, he blocked the knight's prying gaze and looked directly into the other party's eyes, "I am Guo Zhi, the auxiliary commander of the public defense of Gaogui Township, who are you?!" ”

The knight was stunned and was about to get angry, but the old man in the carriage finally stopped keeping his clay sculpture.

"Don't be rude."

He lowered his head and looked at the young man in front of him, a flash of approval in his eyes.

"The old man Wang Su, who often holds the Son of Heaven Festival, came to see the noble townsman on the order of the Queen Mother, I don't know if anyone else is in the house?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around were shocked.

And too often hold the festival to serve the edict of the Queen Mother? Good guys, what are you here for??

Guo Zhi was obviously also shocked, but he quickly calmed down.

"Meet the prince, my Cao Gong is in the mansion."

"However, according to etiquette, please get off the car and dismount and enter the mansion!"

The knight was furious, but Wang Su smiled and said, "It should be so. ”

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

There was a voice in the house, and I saw a young man walking out with his head held high.

Seeing this, Guo Zhi was about to say something, but Cao Chao preemptively said: "It's okay, in the face of the battle of the Son of Heaven, the edict of the Queen Mother, how can you be lazy?" ”

He bowed to Wang Su, "The noble township prince Cao Chao pays a visit to Taichang. ”

Wang Su was stunned for a moment, but did not return the salute, and raised the festival battle in his hand high.

"The Queen Mother has an order!"

Everyone immediately knelt down in unison, whether it was the knights or the sages who were watching.

Even Cao Chao is no exception.

I saw the Huabiao just now, and at this moment he stepped forward quickly, took out the edict of the Queen Mother, raised his head, and read it out loud:

"Emperor Fang is not young anymore, but he doesn't care about political affairs, blindly pampers the villains around him, and indulges in women, and mixes with the advocates every day!"

"Emperor Fang connived at their various ugliness, and once summoned the families of the concubines of the six palaces into the palace to let them live in the inner room, destroying the order of humanity and disrupting the conduct of men and women!"

"Emperor Fang's respect and filial piety to his elders gradually became absurd, and his arrogance grew more and more serious!"

"Such an emperor can't inherit the mandate of heaven and worship Zongmiao, so now I think that sending Gao Gong with Fang's enthronement documents and using the sacrifice of a big ox to sacrifice to Cao's Zongmiao and the first emperors, let Fang go to Qidi to be the king, and abdicate to make way for Xian."

"Cao Lin, the king of the East China Sea, is the concubine of Emperor Gaozuwen! Cao Lin's sons are all the closest descendants of Emperor Wen, I heard that Cao Lin's sons have the strength to achieve great achievements and the style of ancestors, and now he is the heir of Emperor Ming, that is, the Son of Heaven! ”

Huabiao read out the edict.

And at this moment, this edict sounded in everyone's ears like thunder.

What?? The emperor was deposed??

Hearing the news, except for the angel team who had already known the news, the onlookers were dumbfounded, and a few even sat on the ground.

Guo Zhi's eyes widened, his eyes full of disbelief.

And the second half of the sentence is even more thunder in the thunder.

With the noble township prince Cao Chao as the emperor.

After hearing this, Shu Wan sat directly on the ground, his expression was dull, and his eyes were almost desperate.

It's over, it's really over.

And the doormen who eavesdropped in the mansion were also stunned at the moment, what was the situation?

My Duke Cao is going to be the emperor??

The only one present who could remain calm was probably Cao Chao.

He had fantasized about this day countless times, and even thought of various ways to deal with it.

But when this day really came, his heart was so calm, without the slightest excitement.

The angel already knew the purpose of coming to Metaverse.

But the attitude of the knight, is that the attitude towards the future emperor??

No, that's the attitude towards puppets!!

Cao Chao can almost see his future life, an aggrieved and helpless life.

In addition, to welcome the new emperor, it should be necessary to send important ministers of the third public rank, and it is not said that a temporary arrangement is made for a Taichang to come with a young mansion and a servant to read the edict.

This is already a great contempt for oneself.

Cao Chao also knew the reason, he was not the first person to inherit the throne in the eyes of the temple.

In fact, the temple, that is, the Sima family, is more inclined to support the king of Pengcheng, Cao Yi, to be the emperor, this is his grandfather's brother, the son of Emperor Wu Cao Cao.

But the Empress Dowager Guo disagreed, because if he came to be the emperor, the generations would be chaotic, and Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming would be extinct, and most importantly, the Empress Dowager Guo would be unjustifiable.

And the reason why he chose himself, Cao Chao can also guess the approximate reason.

His bloodline is relatively close to Emperor Ming, and at the same time, he has no father, his mother died early, he has no maternal family, his brother is not close to him, he is young, he has never had a family, he has no wife, he is alone in the real sense.

Sima Shi chose to give in after the dispute with Empress Dowager Guo, not necessarily and for this reason.

Cao Chao slowly stood up and looked at the edict in Huabiao's hand.
