"Mother!"

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry to see me?"

"What's the matter?"

In the face of Cao Chao's enthusiasm, Empress Dowager Guo was extremely indifferent.

Obviously, just a few days ago, she swore that she would protect Cao Chao like a real mother.

Cao Chao frowned, looked around, and walked to the Queen Mother's side in a few steps, Empress Dowager Guo was a little surprised, in her impression, Cao Chao has always been a restrained and polite character, and would not make such a reckless move.

Cao Chao sat directly beside the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother's hand, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Mother, I heard that Guo Jun was held hostage by thieves, is this true?"

Empress Dowager Guo indifferently withdrew her hand, "There is such a thing, but Your Majesty does not have to worry, the rebels have been arrested, and Guo Zhi will be rescued soon." ”

"Is there anything else Your Majesty?"

Cao Chao grabbed the Queen Mother's hand again, "Mother! What can I do? ”

Empress Dowager Guo was even more displeased, resisting the urge to drive the emperor out, and asked coldly, "What is Your Majesty worried about?" ”

"Queen Mother, whether Guo Jun was held hostage or not, we all know in our hearts, when something like this happens, the Sima family actually didn't do anything to our Guo family??"

"Heh, what, you're disappointed? Are you in a hurry to get Sima Zhao to do something to us?! ”

"Mother, what are you talking about!"

"You are my mother, one is prosperous, one is lost, this is a family, how can I think that it is not good for my family?"

Looking at Cao Chao with a sincere face in front of her, Empress Dowager Guo did not continue to dwell on this issue, and asked impatiently: "What does Your Majesty want to say?" ”

"Mother, you know best what the Sima family thinks of my Guo family."

"Guo Jun has such a thing, this is the best opportunity for the Sima family, Sima Zhao can take advantage of this matter to announce that my Guo family participated in the rebellion, and justifiably murdered my Guo family, and the ministers in the temple didn't dare to say anything more But why should they let go of such a good opportunity?"

Empress Dowager Guo actually didn't understand why Sima Zhao would define Guo Zhi as being coerced, if he was directly condemned as a rebel, then their entire Guo family would be finished together.

But Guo Li had come to the Queen Mother before and said what he thought.

Guo Li believes that Sima Zhao doesn't want to make too much trouble about this matter, after all, the children of the family take the lead and say that it is not a decent thing to punish the general, and the initiator is a thief, and if the children of the high family are just coerced, the impact will be acceptable.

Guo Li also changed his position again because of this incident, believing that he should strengthen his ties with the Sima family, and from then on completely threw himself into the Sima family.

But these things, Empress Dowager Guo obviously didn't want to talk to Cao Chao.

"General Zhengxi is a talented man, and he is naturally a distinguisher between right and wrong."

Cao Chao sighed, "Mother, I think he hasn't started yet, because he wants more things." ”

"If he wants to subdue my Guo family and make us completely surrender, he only needs to use this matter to beat us, and people like General Xuande will be so frightened that they will rush to him, but he didn't mention this matter, which shows that what he wants is not just to ask my Guo family to surrender."

"You"

The Queen Mother was about to speak, but Cao Chao interrupted her directly.

"Mother, haven't you figured it out? He didn't want to cut the flesh of the Guo family, he wanted to kill him with one blow! ”

"When Guo Jun falls into their hands, they will do it."

"If you want to deal with a family, it is enough to have a rebel, but my Guo family is not an ordinary family, you are the queen mother, when I was not an adult, you were the co-owner of the empire, and everyone must obey your edict."

"Therefore, the Sima family needs a bigger crime."

"Sima Zhao handed over all the forbidden troops in the palace to my Guo family, even Sima Xun had to obey my uncle's orders, Sima Shi tried every means to take away the things from my family, and they were sent back so easily, have you ever thought about why?"

Empress Dowager Guo was a little stunned by these words, she frowned, "This is"

"All this, of course, is to get rid of my mother."

"Mother, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me."

"If the general is going to die, I have been on the side of the Guo family all these days, causing them a lot of trouble, and letting them kill Jia Chong."

"If the general wants to leave, he will definitely let me be buried with me."

"So, can the crime of rebellion bring down a great clan? Can the crime of killing the monarch bring down a queen mother? ”

"These two are superimposed, can we get rid of a family with a queen mother?"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Guo suddenly couldn't sit still, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and her breathing became short.

Most of the queen mothers in history should have a certain amount of power, and some queen mothers can even rule the world, which makes the founding heroes tremble.

However, Empress Dowager Guo obviously does not belong to this category of strong queen mother, she is very plain in this life, a noble girl who has no troubles, she was sent to the palace after living in the northwest corner of the Great Wei for more than ten years, and was soon valued by the emperor, and then she has been by the emperor's side, and she has not met any competitors, and there is no intrigue, because Cao Ei has no heirs

The lover died young, her stepson ascended the throne, the power of the temple has always been in the hands of the ministers, and she did not participate, the children of the family used her identity to get some benefits for themselves, she was unmoved, just doing what she had been doing all these years day after day.

Historically, whether it was Cao Shuang, Cao Fang, or Cao Chao, her way of dealing with it was very stupid.

However, this stupidity also saved her life, if she was ambitious, she might not be able to die well, and Sima Shi would have gotten rid of her a long time ago.

When she learned that the Sima family was likely to deal with her, she was only left with fear in her heart.

These inferences of Cao Chao seem to be more reliable than Guo Li's statement that he wants to make us surrender through soft means.

Looking at the Queen Mother who looked flustered, Cao Chao did not continue to speak and was silent.

Empress Dowager Guo took the initiative to hold his hand this time, "Yanshi, then what should we do?" ”

"Mother, didn't my uncles and fathers tell you?"

"They just said that the Sima family wants to subdue all the power"

"Acceptance??"

Cao Chao shook his head, looked at the Queen Mother in front of him in a complicated manner, and stopped talking.

Empress Dowager Guo hurriedly changed her attitude and tried her best to look kind, "Is what they said wrong?" ”

"Of course it's not right, if you want to be subdued, the Sima family would have come to the door a long time ago, so they used Guo Zhi as a threat to force my Guo family to hand over the military power in the palace, put my uncles in other positions, disrupt and disperse, you are alone in the palace, they don't worry anymore, but they didn't do it."

"No! Gotta tell them! ”

Empress Dowager Guo panicked, but Cao Chao said calmly: "Mother, don't panic, you must know that the Guo family rose because of you, and because of you, the Guo family can have today's status, and it is you who have made the Guo family what it is today, not the Guo family who has made you." ”

"Including me, what feelings do I have for the Guo family? It's just that because you're my mother, you're considered a mother. ”

"The Guo family can have today, all because of you alone, and how far the Guo family can go is only on you."

"I don't think there's a need to rush to find them, they may not be of the same mind as us!!"

"Huh??"

Empress Dowager Guo stared at those good-looking eyes and looked at Cao Chao on the side in surprise.

What do you mean by that?

Am I not of the same mind as them? Became a family with you??

Cao Chao said seriously: "Queen Mother, my uncles, most of them have a relationship with the big families in the temple, even with the Sima family, and they also have a deep relationship. ”

"They each have their own ideas, if they can give up their power in the palace in time, Sima Zhao will definitely not embarrass them too much, but you are different, your identity cannot be let out, you will always be the master of the harem."

"If you are gone, the Guo family will definitely be hit hard, but those relatives of ours, as long as they are honest, they can still continue to live."

"I am the only one who can't, everything I do comes from you, if you are not there, I will lose the basis to sit on the throne, so in the entire palace, I am the only one who is with you."

Empress Dowager Guo was about to speak, but Cao Chao said first.

"Of course, I'm not saying that these relatives are going to be bad for us, Mother, I mean, you are the master, the rest of the people are assisting you, when making decisions, you should think more about yourself, not about these relatives, you are too good for so many people to dare to be against you!"

ps: There is another wave, ready to send it in two waves, don't worry.
