Chapter 044: Progress Together

When they first saw Cao Chao, the ministers could not connect the noble townsman who had caused trouble in the world before he ascended the throne with the modest young man in front of him.

But now, they finally see it.

This is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After Cao Chao finished speaking, the entire front hall was silent.

Sima Zhao stood among the ministers, staring at Cao Chao in front of him with his eyes, and he probably had strangled him to death countless times in his heart.

Sima Yan couldn't help grinning, "Father, I'm going to be made a duke?" ”

"Shut up!"

Sima Fu was the first to break the deadlock, he said: "Your Majesty! Never!! ”

"In the past, with the great merit of Xuanwen Gong, the emperor was canonized as a duke, such kindness is already something our family can't bear, what talent do we have to afford such a reward from Your Majesty?"

"I have heard that those who have been trying to govern the country since ancient times must have clear rewards and punishments, and if they fail to do so, it will be the beginning of trouble."

"Today, if we have not made great merits, we will receive such a reward, so if we have truly made merits in the future, how should Your Majesty reward them?"

"Your Majesty, please take back the order!!"

Sima Fu said loudly.

He was really scared this time, this edict was really fatal.

He was too crazy to accept this edict.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the ministers behind him, and the ministers looked at him and Sima Zhao's faces, not daring to act.

The eyes of the ministers were a little complicated at the moment.

Why did His Majesty suddenly want to canonize the Sima family?

Fang Cai actually said that he wanted to crown the general as a king??

I heard that General Zhengxi met with His Majesty yesterday, is it....

This is the general's order?

Isn't it, isn't this roasting yourself on the fire?

However, does Your Majesty really want to canonize meritorious ministers with great fanfare?

Everyone had different ideas, and this time, they didn't follow Sima Fu to persuade the emperor.

After all, everyone wants to progress, and if your Sima family has improved, then we can also make progress, which is not a bad thing.

It's just that the faces of those important ministers are ugly.

In the final analysis, those who don't have enough to divide the cake hope to abandon the original division and divide more.

And these people who have received a lot of cakes do not want to change the distribution method, so as not to divide less.

The ministers had different ideas.

Sima Fu still tried hard to persuade him.

Cao Chao looked at the minister and shouted, "Where is Jia Gong?" ”

The ministers looked at each other.

Sima Fu asked, "Your Majesty is talking about Jia Gonglu?" ”

"Exactly! Where is he? ”

"Your Majesty, he served in the General's Mansion and did not come...."

Jia Chong is a personal minister belonging to the general, not Cao Chao's minister, and he is not qualified to appear here unless the general orders him.

Cao Chao sighed and said, "If Jia Gong is still here, he will definitely be able to convince you." ”

"I really want to canonize the Sima family, and the many heroes here, why don't you agree?"

"This is not the way for a wise king to rule the world, please think carefully!"

"Then the princes think the same way?"

Cao Chao looked at the ministers in front of him.

The ministers were all silent, but Gao Rou took the initiative to step forward, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is indeed impossible!" ”

Cao Chao seemed to be moved by what he said, he pursed his lips, looked at Sima Fu helplessly, and continued: "Okay, then give you Huang Yue, allow you to enter the court without trending, do not be famous, and go to the palace with a sword!" ”

Sima Fu still wanted to refuse, but looking at Cao Chao's resolute eyes, he finally reluctantly compromised.

Cao Chao looked at the ministers again, "As for the merits of the ministers, it is up to you to draw up, Situ Gonggong has the highest merit and can be knighted." ”

Sima Fu was ordered.

Gao Rou remained unmoved.

With his contribution to the abolition this time, the Sima family should compensate him, and there is no need for Cao Chao to order him.

The ceremony ended in a hurry, and many of the original ideas were also abandoned, and Wang Su was really afraid that something would happen again.

This almost absurd ritual ended in silence.

Cao Chao was sent to the West Hall.

The ministers dispersed.

Sima Fu frowned, he had already felt the difficulty of this new emperor.

This one is simply out of the ordinary.

The enthronement ceremony actually wanted to canonize the entire Sima clan.

They are crazy to be rewarded like this.

Looking at the strange gazes of the ministers around him, Sima Fu only felt a headache.

"Congratulations uncle."

I don't know when, Sima Zhao appeared beside Sima Fu and saluted.

Sima Fu stopped and turned his head to look at Sima Zhao.

"Do you think this is something that is beneficial to the clan?"

Sima Zhao saw the seriousness on his uncle's face, and hurriedly put away his smile, "Uncle, don't be angry, I heard that hemp flies can't harm people, so they disturb it with noise." ”

"It's useless for this hemp fly, but it's okay, I'm afraid that everyone won't dare to get close to the hemp fly anymore."

Sima Fu frowned and said solemnly, "I don't understand what you're saying. ”

"Uncle, there is no one else...."

Sima Fu didn't wait for Sima Zhao to say anything, turned around and left here.

Sima Zhao watched him walk away helplessly, and after he walked away, Sima Zhao looked at Du Yu behind him.

"Yuan Kai, what do you think Your Majesty is going to do?"

"Your Majesty's move is quite absurd, but it is a hidden murderous motive."

"Now, some of the ministers will think that this is your command, and they all want to follow you to the knighthood, and then they will write to you about it, and ask you to accept it and be rewarded together."

"And people like Gao Situ will be angry, thinking that you are in a hurry and want to seize their power."

"If you accept it, you will suffer from the criticism of the world, and the good situation will be ruined, if you don't accept it, then you have to deal with the letters and dissatisfaction of the ministers..."

"However, the minister thinks that His Majesty is just trying to distract you by using this method, he probably has other plans, and this matter is just what he used to cover up his real purpose..."

"Plot??"

Sima Zhao almost laughed out loud, "He has entered the palace, what other plans can he have?" ”

"The people inside and outside are all arranged by Jia Chong himself, his every move, even the dream words at night, can be heard clearly, plotting? Well, let's see what this wise king has in mind! ”

Looking at Sima Zhao with a mocking face, Du Yu was speechless.

He was promoted by the Sima family, and he was a protΓ©gΓ© of the Sima family, so he was naturally loyal to them, but things like dealing with the clan and seeking the country were really not what he was willing to do.

Du Yu's heart was actually extremely entangled, and when he heard Sima Zhao's laughter, his heart was even more bitter.

He can debunk some of the emperor's ideas for the general, but he really doesn't want to give the general a strategy to deal with the emperor.

On the other side, a yellow door found Gao Rou and asked him to meet the Queen Mother.

When Gao Rou arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Dowager Guo and Guo Jian were already waiting for him to arrive.

In the face of Gao Rou, even the Queen Mother will not be too rude, and she has to get up and bow back.

Guo Jian also hurriedly got up and asked Gao Rou to sit down.

Gao Rou sat opposite Guo Jian generously and looked at the Queen Mother.

"Is there something big about the Queen Mother calling me?"

Empress Dowager Guo was stunned, and some anger appeared on Guo Jian's face, but she didn't dare to attack.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Your Majesty came to see me today, and he told me that you know something and called you here just to inquire about it. ”

Gao Rou suddenly laughed.

"Why does the Queen Mother take it to heart?"

Gao Rou was reluctant to continue to get involved in these things with the Guo family, and out of the kindness of his allies, he reminded: "I see that Your Majesty's behavior in the past few days has been debauched and absurd, and you still need a lot of discipline from the Queen Mother. ”

"When he ascended the throne today, His Majesty opened his mouth to canonize Sima Fu as a prince, and claimed to canonize Sima Shi and others as princes."

"Frightened the ministers."

"I have heard that those who are in danger and do not know it will fail sooner or later."

"Today, Your Majesty is alone, and he doesn't think about how to live his life, but he has repeatedly provoked the general and tried to provoke in vain, which is really a bit ignorant of life and death."

"Queen Mother, don't entangle with this son in the future, otherwise, you will definitely suffer from it."

"Things have passed, there is no need to be entangled, in the future, please restrain the clansmen more, stay in Zhaoyang Hall with peace of mind, and you will not suffer any disadvantage."

Gao Rou didn't even mean to hide it, and said it extremely bluntly.

After speaking, he stood up, "The minister still has important things to do, and he will retire first." ”

He turned and walked away.

Guo Jian's face was extremely ugly.

"After my brother's death, this old dog has become more and more rude to my family..."

The Queen Mother's expression is also not good-looking.

"If it weren't for me, how could he have been..."

Guo Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Eldest sister, this guy is obviously unwilling to tell the truth, yesterday the ministers all saw Cao Chao talking in his ear, and his expression was extremely surprised, isn't it that this guy saw my Guo clan lose and completely gave up on us?" ”

The Queen Mother also felt helpless at this moment.

On weekdays, Guo De is the decision-maker, but when he is not there, the Queen Mother encounters this kind of thing, and she suddenly can't find anyone to make a decision.

After hesitating for a long time, Empress Dowager Guo seemed to be deflated.

"Now there's nothing we can do, it's better .... Just as Situ said..."

"How can this be?!"

"If it weren't for us, would this old dog be where he is today? Can this Sima family have the power it has today? ”

"Then Sima Wang divided the military power in the palace, forget it, that Jia Chong, deceive people too much, he actually dares to make his own decisions and replace the people under my command, can even a dog thief like Jia Chong deceive us?!"

"Eldest sister, this matter must not be done like this!"

ps: Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-style governing law, everyone has a throne, no one falls, hahaha~~ Not for anything else, it's just tossing!
