Chapter 037: Don't Give Up!
Cao Chao was completely placed under house arrest.
There were two armor soldiers standing at the door.
He couldn't leave this room.
And whether it is Guo Zhi, or Yang Zong, or even Sima Yan, he can't see it.
Sima Shi didn't even leave him a book, and in the empty inner room, Cao Chao was alone, looking in the direction of the door.
Cao Chao is not afraid of loneliness, nor is he afraid of being divided by Sima Shi.
As long as Sima Shi is unwilling, he will not be able to have any subordinates, and Sima Shi will definitely not let Yang Zong, Guo Zhi and the others continue to follow him.
Cao Chao expected this a long time ago.
He was just very worried about Guo Zhi's safety.
He was afraid that Guo Zhi would break in and reprimand Sima Shi, and would insult Sima Shi in public.
He was also afraid that Guo Zhi would not be humiliated, so he drew his sword and killed himself.
The room was very dull, as if it was airtight.
The armor soldiers in front of the door were probably Sima Shi's diehards, and no matter what Cao Chao said, they didn't pay attention to it.
In this death-like silence, Cao Chao began to think about the future.
In Luoyang, will you suffer such treatment?
At this moment, the door was slowly opened.
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment and looked at the gate.
What caught his eye was Jia Chong's hypocritical smiling face, and he walked into the room with a smile, "Your Majesty! Your confidant has come to visit you! ”
He stepped out of the way.
The person standing behind him was none other than Guo Zhi.
Guo Zhi looked a lot haggard and disheveled.
Cao Chao's eyes lit up and he got up suddenly.
Jia Chong took Guo Zhi's hand, dragged him in, and let him into the house, and then closed the door.
Guo Zhi shook off Jia Chong's hand, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Cao Chao.
"Greetings to the lord!"
"Zishou, get up, get up quickly..."
Cao Chao was smiling, but suddenly saw Guo Zhi's back.
Blood seeped out of his clothes, and streaks of blood could be seen.
At that moment, Cao Chao's smile froze, his heart trembled, and he slowly looked at Jia Chong on the side.
Jia's face was full of innocence, as if nothing had happened.
"Zi Shou... Get up. ”
Cao Chao helped Guo Zhi up, and the two looked at each other, but they were silent.
Jia Chong urged helplessly: "Guo Jun, you have been thinking about Your Majesty all day long, saying that you want to see him, since you have seen him, why don't you speak?" ”
Guo Zhi glanced at him disdainfully, and said to Cao Chao: "Lord, this shameless villain, actually wants us to testify against the lord, is it true that everyone in the world is a villain like him?!" ”
Jia Chong's face turned dark, and killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he held back.
The general wants to control Cao Chao through those who get along well with Cao Chao, similar to a hostage, Jia Chong is not easy to do.
When he first came to the mansion, he wanted to rebel against Cao Chao's subordinates, and wanted to collect some things that were unfavorable to Cao Chao so that he could make a move in the future.
He captured the servants and old soldiers who escaped under Cao Chao's command, and applied both soft and hard.
But everyone didn't say a word, and they refused to betray Cao Chao when they said anything.
Even, Guo scolded this guy and spat in his face, insulting himself for being a brute.
If it weren't for Guo Chong's usefulness, Jia Chong would have killed him a long time ago.
When Guo was whipped by himself for dereliction of duty, he kept shouting to see Cao Chao, and even forced him to commit suicide, Jia Chong also deliberately tightened the rope for Cao Chao, so he brought him here.
Cao Chao's eyes widened.
"Zi Shou! Don't speak like that! ”
Guo Zhi had no fear in his eyes, he looked at Cao Chao again, and asked seriously: "Is Your Majesty going to accept the proposal of the ministers this time and go to Luoyang to be the emperor?" ”
"That's true."
"This is the best, the lord is eloquent and strategic, and the court has its own sages to assist, and it will definitely be able to open up an immortal prosperous era."
Hearing this blessed word, Cao Chao subconsciously felt uneasy.
Guo Zhi is upright and strong, he will not endure humiliation, and he is not willing to become a means used by others to blackmail himself.
If Sima Shi and the others really want to use him to threaten themselves, then Guo Zhi must have been ready to commit suicide, and this meeting is to say goodbye to himself.
Cao Chao pursed his lips and said quietly: "I have today's talent and learning, and it is also because of your teachings. ”
"You're still young, and entering the temple too early isn't necessarily a good thing."
"Therefore, I am ready to recommend you to the general and let him reuse you, so that I can go to Luoyang with confidence."
"You are half of my teacher, you are by the side of the general, and when the general sees your virtue, he will definitely know my character, and he will rest assured that I will govern the country."
"I know you're irritable, but I've always looked after you as my own model, and if you continue to insult the minister like this, what will the world think of me? What does the general think of me? ”
"So you'll have to change your impatience."
"If you want to accomplish such a great cause, you can't help but rely on talents like Jia Gong and the general to support, and please take the world's affairs first, don't follow those Qingliu celebrities who sell their fame and reputation."
Cao Chao admonished.
The two have been together for many years, and they still have a very tacit understanding with each other.
Although Guo Zhi was sluggish, he also understood what Cao Chao meant.
First of all, the sentence "the general can rest assured" is to tell Guo Zhi that if you are alive by the general's side, the general will rest assured of me, because you are now my handle.
In addition, "you have to rely on the general", this is to tell Guo Zhi that he can't turn his face with the general at present, he can only survive first, you can't offend them directly, otherwise it will affect me.
And the last sentence "Don't follow the example of celebrities" is telling him that for the sake of the world's major affairs, he must temporarily commit himself to the thief, and he must first put down his reputation and do something that violates his inner morality.
Guo Zhi's face was a little tangled.
Cao Chao was furious, "In the past, you persuaded me all day long to put the world first, ascend the throne early, and don't let down the temple, why are you hesitating today?" ”
Guo sighed, looked in Jia Chong's direction, and reluctantly bowed.
Jia Chong hurriedly shook his head, "Guo Jun doesn't have to be polite, in the future, you and I will assist Your Majesty together, and be a minister of the same court, so you should be more close." ”
He said with some grievances: "Guo Jun doesn't know, my previous behavior was not my own opinion, it was really a last resort... I also have a lot of helplessness, alas, if it were not for my intercession, how would you have lived to see Your Majesty? It's just that you only treat me as a traitor...."
Guo Zhi didn't speak, but Cao Chao took Jia Chong's hand.
"Guo Jun is a wooden person, don't blame him, Jia Gong's character, I know best, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen the general."
"Jia Gong, Guo Jun is not a wicked person, but he is stubborn and strong, I am afraid that he will offend others again and be punished, I will entrust him to you, I hope you can take care of him more in the future, I am grateful."
Jia Chong was shocked, "Your Majesty, don't say such words, since Your Majesty has an order, I will risk my life, and I have to protect Guo Jun thoroughly!" ”
Guo Zhi closed his eyes in pain.
Cao Chao glanced at him, "Zishou, you go back first, I still have something to say to Jia Gong!" ”
Guo Zhi bowed to Cao Chao again, got up and left here.
This time, Cao Chao finally saw clearly, Guo Zhi's back was scarred, and he was limping when he walked.
Cao Chao just glanced at it, and continued to look at Jia Chong in front of him.
"Jia Gong, when are we going to Luoyang?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the temple is not ready to greet you, soon, in just a few days, you can go to Luoyang."
"I've never been to Luoyang, I don't know what etiquette is, what should I do?"
Jia Chong laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, when you arrive in Luoyang, someone will naturally come to teach you." ”
"It couldn't be better."
Cao Chao breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best, the prince refused to tell me before, and I was still quite worried in my heart." ”
"Prince??"
Jia Chong's eyes narrowed.
Cao Chao said: "Yes, I went to him several times before, but he didn't want to see me... I feel that this man, though he has a great reputation, is far less virtuous than yours. ”
Cao Chao didn't continue, but Jia Chong frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two talked casually for a few more words, and Jia Chong said goodbye and left here.
When Jia Chong left, the smile on Cao Chao's face suddenly disappeared.
Thinking of Fang Cai Guo Zhi's back full of bloodstains, Cao Chao's face suddenly became hideous.
Jia Chong!!
You wait, wait until you get to Luoyang!!
I have to make you pay back tenfold!!
ps: Like Du Pre, he was promoted by the Sima family, and then he was loyal to the Sima family, and got the name of a loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, he can't be said to be a dog thief, but like Jia Chong, he ate the Cao family and then killed the king, and then ate the Sima family and then was afraid of defeat and resorted to all kinds of riotous operations, which is simply a dog thief among dog thieves.
According to the words of a certain hamster, Qin Hui is a warmonger compared to him.
