"An Shi, what do you say is wrong with this reward minister?"

"I don't know why the captain is opposed."

Cao Chao said, and looked at Sima Wang in front of him.

"What did you think at the beginning?"

Sima Wang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if the reward must be just, how can it be rewarded for nothing? ”

"Besides, if Your Majesty is a vassal, then the temple will have to spend money to support them, and it will reduce tax revenue, if the temple has no money, how can it help the people? How to govern the world? ”

"That's why my father didn't want to accept it."

Cao Chao suddenly realized.

"I see!"

He excitedly grabbed Sima Wang's hand, "Zichu is really a virtuous talent!" I have An Shi and Zichu by my side, what else is there to worry about? ”

Sima Yan didn't care, he just smirked and ate the delicacies in front of him.

But Sima Wang was even more uneasy.

Sima Yan looked at the four attendants who were staring at him in the distance, and suddenly felt irritated, and waved his big hand, "What are you doing staying here all the time?" Get me out! ”

"A group of pickled geldings, stirring people up!"

The men were immediately startled.

Cao Chao persuaded him: "Why do you want to abuse? Anshi, don't be like this. ”

Sima Yan pursed his lips and glared at those people again, they didn't dare to linger any longer, and hurriedly walked out.

Since returning to Luoyang, Sima Yan has shown his true self.

No longer as restrained as in Yuancheng.

"Father said that I can't mess around like this anymore, he asked me to follow Tingwei Zheng Peijun, saying that he was following him to learn the truth."

"That man is only a dozen years older than me, what can I learn from him?"

Sima Yan also had a lot of troubles in his heart.

Probably because of Cao Chao, Sima Zhao discovered many shortcomings of this son in advance, so he decided to let him learn and improve.

And the candidate Sima Zhao found for Sima Yan was the young Tingwei Zheng Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu is the grandson of Pei Mao, the commander of Han Shangshu, and the son of Pei Qian, the doctor of Wei Guanglu.

also became famous at a young age, and was later dismissed by the general Cao Shuang as a subordinate, and then sat down and was deposed.

Sima Zhao discovered this excellent young man, forgave him for his mistakes, and made him an official and knighted, and admired him very much.

Pei Xiu is a rare practical person, and in the future, he will even become Sima Yan's Shang Shuling.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shang Shuling has been the real manager of the temple and the person who really does things.

The politics of the world are out of Shangshutai, and the three princes and nine kings are more like a fictitious, and now Sima Shi's self-receipt of the Shangshu order is the best proof.

Looking at the troubled young Sima Yan, Cao Chao smiled and comforted: "An Shi, are you talking about Pei Jiyan?" I heard that this person is very appreciated by the generals and the generals, and thinks that he has the qualifications of the three princes, and you should study hard with him, and don't complain. ”

"Heh, Your Majesty doesn't know, when I first went to see him, he actually took off his clothes and ran wild in the house...."

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, "Xingsan??" ”

The symptom instantly reminded him of an old man.

Sima Yan nodded and said with disdain: "What can you learn from such a person?" Learn how to dissipate? ”

Cao Chao stroked his chin, saying that how could this person who served as Cao Shuang's private minister be so good?

Could it be that Cao Shuang took the lead in dispersing? When he surrendered to Sima Yi, he was defeated?

Thinking of the old man, Cao Chao's face became more solemn, and he asked in a low voice: "An Shi, do you know how Guo Jun and Yang Gong are?" ”

Sima Yan raised his head, "Of course I know, Yang Gong is now in Luoyang and serves as my father's army." ”

"Guo Jun heard that he was sent to a local place to be a county magistrate, but he didn't know which county it was."

Cao Chao's eyes widened, "Ah??? ”

This is a little different from what Cao Chao thought.

Yang Zong has already come to Luoyang? Also joined the army as Sima Zhao?

Participating in the military of General Xi is a confidant-level treatment.

Sima Zhao still has something extraordinary, in the face of this person who may have helped the emperor, he can be so reused!

Guo Zhi was even more unexpected, Cao Chao thought that Sima Shi would keep him by his side, or detain him, and actually went to be a county magistrate.

Sima Yan said again: "Your Majesty is also surprised? I was also taken aback when I saw Yang Gong in the mansion. ”

"He's still asking me about you!"

I asked him if he needed to say hello, but he ran away with his face covered... It should be dissolved..."

Cao Chao laughed, and Yang Zong probably felt that he couldn't face himself.

He asked again: "Yang Gong was very favored by the generals in the past, but Guo Jun, he really became a county commander?" ”

Sima Yan said firmly: "Yes! It was Guo Zhi who personally found my father and recommended him, and my father also said that he would let him enter the temple or something, but Guo Zhi said that Guo Jun's talent was not enough to enter the temple, and it was enough for a county order. ”

"I remember very well, this incident was just a few days ago, the day you ascended the throne...."

Cao Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Guo still listened to his own words, and in order to hold himself, he picked up Guo Zhi and did not give up on him completely.

Although none of them could be by their side, Cao Chao was still very happy to learn that they would no longer suffer.

He couldn't help but pull Sima Yan to eat again.

An Shike was an important way for him to learn the news of the temple in the future, and with him here, Jia Chong's people did not dare to approach.

Sima Yan and Cao Chao were drunk, reciting poems, and commenting on the current figures, so unhappy.

Only Sima Wang, who still had a straight face, his forehead was full of sweat.

When the two left, Cao Chao was very reluctant and asked them to stay several times, but they couldn't spend the night next to Cao Chao, and Sima Yan was also reluctant to leave here.

Sima Wang supported him, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Father, why are you so estranged from Your Majesty?"

Sima Yan asked drunkenly.

Sima Wang couldn't help but complain in his heart: Nonsense, my father is not a general of Zhengxi!

Their family has always been on the side of the Wei family, at least on the surface, this is the case, and Sima Wang and Guo Jian are in charge of the palace together, so they can neither be too close to Cao Chao nor too distant from him.

Controlling this distance is crucial.

If you are too close, how will you get along with your family in the future?

Internal strife? Or give up the reputation that your father has accumulated for decades?

This made Sima Wang very embarrassed, and he suddenly began to regret holding such an official position.

If it's local, it's fine, compared to the open and secret battles in the temple, he still prefers to fight on the battlefield with real swords and guns.

Among the many children of the Sima family, Sima Wang is relatively capable of fighting, stationed in Yongliang in history, and has resisted attacks from Jiang Wei many times.

Before Sima Wang could answer, Sima Yan was already drunk.

Sima Wang arranged someone to escort Sima Yan back, while he changed his clothes, hurriedly got into the car, and walked towards his father's mansion.

........

Sima Fu is thrifty and generous, and he is the person with the best reputation in the entire Sima family.

And as his son, Sima Wang's reputation is also very good.

When Sima Wang came, Sima Fu looked very entangled, and his mental state was not very good.

"Father!"

Sima Wangxing bowed to his father and immediately stood aside.

"Alas, the emperor has called you to serve again?"

"yes... It was me and An Shi again, eating and drinking with His Majesty. ”

Sima Fu's face was full of bitterness, "Why did he set his sights on me and you?" ”

"I really don't know..."

"Alas... Your Majesty is young and vigorous, and you are in charge of the palace guards, if Your Majesty does something, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Sima Wang was shocked, "Could it be that Your Majesty can still rebel in the palace?" ”

"Rebellion?"

Sima Fu was silent for a moment, "How can there be a rebellious Son of Heaven in the world?" ”

"In the future, don't see if you can, hide if you can, don't be so close again..."

"Father, it's better to go directly to the letter to ask for your resignation and go to Biansai..."

Before Sima Wang's words could be finished, Sima Fu interrupted him.

"It can't be like this yet... You must know that your official position, it is not easy to come by, it was forcibly pulled out of Guo's mouth by the general, if you want to discard it now, then Guo will definitely find a way to get it back, in the temple, it is not the general's word. ”

"Oh, Father, I see."

Looking at the son in front of him, Sima Fu's heart was even more complicated, he thought that with a young emperor, this transition would be carried out smoothly, and he would not have to participate in too many things, and he could be a loyal minister with peace of mind.

But looking at His Majesty today, there is basically no need to think about a smooth transition, I am afraid that I will not give up until there is a river of blood.
