Chapter 040: The Three Princes
"Meet the Princess!"
Cao Chao respectfully returned the salute to the ministers in front of him.
This is the first time Cao Chao has met his ministers.
Cao Chao is dignified, full of majesty, and very heroic, in this era of per capita face control, he still has a very good look.
At this moment, facing the ministers, there was no panic in his eyes, and he was very calm.
This is still very consistent with the image of a virtuous young man who is imagined by everyone.
Wang Su on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you don't have to pay respects to the ministers. β
Cao Chao said seriously: "In the face of many virtuous ministers who have made great contributions to the DPRK, how dare I be rude? β
Most of the ministers nodded with satisfaction, but the few bigwigs standing at the front had different expressions.
Wang Su pursed his lips and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has come from afar, you can go to the front hall to rest for the time being, and then enter Luoyang tomorrow." β
Wang Su is really afraid, this erection dog is bold, it's best not to let him have too much contact with the ministers, who knows if he will suddenly lose his heart and talk nonsense?
Now that Jia Chong is not here, he should go to Luoyang to meet Sima Zhao, if something happens here, then he will be responsible for himself.
Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in surprise, "The princes of the court and the central government gathered here to greet me, they are all virtuous and virtuous scholars, how can they be so despised?" β
"The old minister is not despised..."
"Then how can you leave them and go to the front hall to rest without permission?"
Cao Chao didn't give Wang Su a chance to continue talking, and walked in front of the ministers in a few steps and looked at them.
"Chen Gaorou greets Your Majesty."
At the head of the group of ministers is none other than Situ Gaorou.
Gao Rou is tall and resolute, and this has a reputation for being upright and strict in the court.
As an old minister who has witnessed the five generations of kings of the Cao family, his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are innumerable, and his influence is extremely strong, and Sima Shi does not dare to do anything to him easily.
He was one of the most powerful allies of the Sima family in the court, and at the same time, he had a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager and was also an excellent ally of the Guo family.
For some reason, this Situ Gong looked at Cao Chao with a somewhat indifferent look.
Is it because of Kwok's? Or is it because of Sima's?
This person is the object that Cao Chao must fight for, and in the temple, there is only one minister who dares to argue with Sima Shi on the bright side.
"Gao Situ !!"
Cao Chao looked quite excited, and he hurriedly saluted Gao Rou again.
"I've heard about your reputation for a long time, and I've always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got my wish!"
"Don't dare."
Gao Rou took a step back, and her eyes were still very distant when she looked at Cao Chao.
Gao Rou is qualified to argue with Sima Shi, which does not mean that he has the intention to embarrass the Sima family, on the contrary, he has an excellent relationship with Sima Yi, and his cooperation with the Sima family is also very pleasant.
Sima Shi did not treat this ally badly, Cao Shuang died, he was named Long Live Township, Cao Fang was demoted, he entered the Marquis of Anguo, Ren Taiwei, Cao Chao died, he increased the city, and the two sons were all named Pavilion Marquis.
He had no idea of changing allies, and he was not willing to get close to the young emperor.
It's just that whether he wants to or not is not within Cao Chao's consideration.
They are brought together because of interests, and they can be separated because of interests.
I can't give any benefits at the moment, but there is always a chance to create benefits for them.
"Situ Gong, I am still young, I don't know anything about governing the country, and the state affairs will bother you, at your age, you have to worry about the state affairs, this is my fault, how many subordinates do you have now? When do you eat each day? How long will it take to do something? β
Cao Chao asked a series of questions, and Gao Situ replied hesitantly: "Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the minister's subordinates are enough, eat on time every day, and it will not be too late to do things." β
"This is the best, Situ has a heavy job, you have to take care of your body!"
Gao Rou said yes, and a person next to him hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him.
Unlike Gao Rou, this person's face was full of excitement, and his eyes looking at Cao Chao were also very kind.
"Old minister Sima Fu, meet Your Majesty."
Cao Chao suddenly realized, no wonder.
Sima Fu is Sima Yi's younger brother, with noble morals, and is a famous loyal minister of Cao Wei in the history books.
This loyal minister resolutely opposed the ministers, so he joined Sima Shi with Sima Shi to control the Jingshi during the Gaopingling Rebellion.
This loyal minister resolutely opposed the abolition, so he suddenly wrote his name in the recital of the abolition of Cao Fang as the king of Qi.
This loyal minister was resolutely opposed to the murder of the king, so when Cao Chao was too close to his son Sima Wang, he hastily resigned and went to the local government as a general.
This great loyal minister has been a Wei minister all his life, although he is the king of Anping, although several sons have been crowned kings, although he is in power, although he kneels to see Sima Yan, but he is a loyal minister of Great Wei.
Sima Fu may be the retreat left by Sima Yi, if he fails to seek the country, there is a line that can be inherited, but this "retreat", the position is too vague.
His loyalty seems to be only manifested in his mouth, judging by his actual behavior, and it is just a matter of being on a par with Sima Shi.
"Taiwei Gong!"
"Don't dare to accept the gift of Your Majesty! Don't dare to take it! β
Sima Fu hurriedly stopped Cao Chao in front of him, and because of his excitement, he even shed tears.
"When I saw Your Majesty, I remembered Emperor Liezu, how godlike!"
"Isn't it a blessing for Great Wei to usher in Your Majesty today?"
"Taiwei Gong, although I have no talent, I am willing to work with the princes to govern the Wei family and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the ancestors."
The two talked for a few words, Sima Fu was in tears, and he seemed to be very happy about Cao Chao's arrival.
And the last one, Cao Chao took the lead in saluting, "Meet Sikong Gong!" β
This is Zheng Chong.
Zheng Chong is extremely elegant, and he looks like he has the temperament of a worldly master, and he respectfully bowed to Cao Chao.
This man has always only done his own thing, never interfered in government affairs, nor expressed his own thoughts, and lived his own hermit-like life in the temple.
Of course, Cao Chao also expressed his admiration for him and his thirst for knowledge.
Subsequently, Cao Chao met with the rest of the ministers.
Not all the ministers arrived, except for the three dukes, only some ministers who were not so high in status came together, but in the face of these people, Cao Chao did not show any contempt, met with them one by one, and answered.
Wang Su stood not far away, listening to their conversation, his expression indifferent and unmoved.
It's useless to say more.
Today's temples are no longer the temples of the past.
At this moment, Cao Chao suddenly asked, "I wonder if it's safe here?" Can we send more soldiers? β
Sima Fu said in surprise: "Why did Your Majesty say this? β
"Taiwei Gong didn't know, when I was in Yuancheng, several thieves entered the mansion and wanted to assassinate me, if it weren't for Shaofu Zheng Jun and others, I was afraid that I would have died on the spot... Later, the general personally went to Yuancheng, in addition to greeting me, also to investigate the matter. β
"Since then, I have always been afraid in my heart, I can't sleep at night, I always feel that there are thieves lurking around."
Cao Chao talked about it a little helplessly.
"What?!"
The ministers were shocked, not long after this incident, Sima Shi rushed to Yuancheng, thus blocking the news of the entire Yuancheng, and there were not many people in the temple who knew about it.
Sima Fu said with some annoyance: "Please don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely catch the real murderer!" As for Luoyang, you don't have to worry at all, this is the safest place in the world, with the old ministers, no one dares to be presumptuous! β
Gao Rou glanced at the ministers around her a few times.
His Majesty was assassinated? Isn't it related to Xiahou Xuan's matter?
Sima Shi personally went to Yuancheng for this matter?
Why was it worth his attention?
At this moment, Wang Su's face was calm, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
I know that you dog thief won't give in easily!! Sure enough, I'm going to cause something!!
After the enthronement ceremony, the old man will definitely not get one step closer to you in this life!!
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you really shouldn't talk about these things at this auspicious time, you are already very tired, please go back to the front hall to rest." β
Cao Chao glanced at Wang Su, then leaned into Gao Rou's ear, whispered a word, and then saluted everyone, and then left here.
Gao Rou watched Cao Chao's back gradually disappear in a daze, her eyes full of surprise.
Sima Fu asked curiously, "Situ Gong?" What did Your Majesty say to you? β
"It's not a big deal."
"Oh."
Sima Fu didn't ask any more questions, but Gao Rou thought about Cao Chao's whisper.
Just now, Cao Chao came to his side and whispered to him.
"It's Wang Su who wants to kill me!"
