Empress Dowager Guo was a little distracted by these remarks.

She had the heart to reprimand this rebel who dared to separate herself from many relatives, but Cao Chao's words were really for her.

She lived for more than forty years, and it was the first time that someone had separated her from her family and mentioned her own interests.

Empress Dowager Guo hesitated and said: "I, an old woman, apart from the clan, can I consider my own interests, don't let Guo Jian and them hear this."

"Huh! What about that?! ”

"Mother! If anyone dares to do anything against you, I will kill them with my sword!! ”

Cao Chao said very irritablely.

"Your interests are not the interests of the Guo family! His profit can only be rewarded by you! ”

"If the Guo family dares to put their own interests above you, I will kill them!"

Empress Dowager Guo was taken aback by Cao Chao's irritable appearance, as if she knew this young man on the first day.

"I just want to live now, I don't have anything I want, you don't have to."

"Mother, isn't it in your interest to live your life?"

"In your position, how easy is it to live a peaceful life? Will the Great General allow it? Will the local military chiefs agree? Will the ministers in the temple be willing? ”

"They will continue to look for trouble, run for their interests, and will not let you calm down, let's just say that this year, you want to calm your life, but did you get your wish? Aren't these things detrimental to your interests, the death of your uncle? ”

"My uncles, what do they think? Are they there so that you can live in peace? No, they want to be promoted, they want more land, more money, and more power, will this allow you to live your part?! ”

Cao Chao's questioning made Empress Dowager Guo stunned.

"Mother, in my opinion, your idea is the most difficult to realize, you are sitting at the highest position of the center of power, if you want to live peacefully, you have to suppress the ministers in the temple, let the generals and the generals outside reach a balance, let the palace obey your edict, so that the clan does not dare to disobey you and even destroy the Wu and Shu countries, unify the world, and solve all the restless factors, so that you can live a peaceful life!!"

"If that's what you think, then I'm willing to help you do it all!!"

Empress Dowager Guo's face turned white.

So I'm so ambitious??

"It's not like that!"

"I don't want to get rid of anyone, I just want to think I don't want to provoke anything!"

Cao Chao nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes! ”

"If you don't provoke trouble, things will provoke you, so if you don't want to provoke anything, you have to get rid of all the troublemakers!"

Empress Dowager Guo was dumbfounded, sitting beside Cao Chao in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.

Cao Chao then comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, this is not as difficult as you think." ”

"Besides, there are many people who want to assist you, me, and our relatives."

"Now that Sima Zhao wants to do something to you, we can't back down anymore and tolerate it, we must gather our clansmen and start fighting back!"

"His Sima family is powerful, but they are not invincible, they have many enemies, let them know that only by cooperating with my grandmother can they continue to be powerful!!"

Cao Chao said again: "Mother, don't despise yourself, today, no one dares to ignore your edict, not to mention anything else, if you give the order now and let your uncle serve as the leader of the central army, Sima Zhao will have to come to beg you to take back your life later!" ”

"But"

Empress Dowager Guo shook her head, "Let's ask everyone in the clan what they think first." ”

"Good! Mother, my teacher Wang Xiang, often tells me about you, teaches me to be filial to you, I am ready to contact him in private, to see if you can let the ministers gather under your command, you are too kind on weekdays, Sima Zhao dares to despise you! I will definitely let him know what it will cost to despise my mother!! ”

Empress Dowager Guo said helplessly: "It's not easy to talk about, Jian has already contacted him, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are unwilling to help, they are all afraid of the general." ”

Cao Chao laughed, "Mother, they just don't want to help the Guo family." ”

"It's not that I don't want to help you."

"You have always listened to the words of the clansmen and put their interests first, they naturally dare not get close, but in the future, it will not be up to me, who is a son, to advise you and contact the ministers, do we still need to be afraid of his Sima family?!"

Empress Dowager Guo was silent for a long time before she asked people to find Guo Jian, Guo Li and others.

Cao Chao didn't persuade anything more, just sat beside the Queen Mother like this, and had no intention of leaving at all.

Soon, Guo Zhi, Guo Jian, and Guo Li appeared in the Zhaoyang Palace.

When they saw the emperor sitting next to the Queen Mother, their faces were a little shocked, Guo Li and Guo Zhi glanced at each other, and there was some displeasure in their eyes.

The three of them sat beside the Queen Mother and only met the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Cao Chao beside her, and Cao Chao immediately got up and told the three people in front of her about the crisis she was facing.

The trio had different reactions.

Guo Jian was frightened, Guo Zhi hesitated, and Guo Li was angry.

Guo Li was very unhappy and said: "Why does Your Majesty want to separate my family from the general? Without us, would Your Majesty be the co-lord of the world? ”

"As far as Your Majesty's words are concerned, if the general learns about it, it will definitely be unfavorable."

"Your Majesty, please go back to the West Hall!"

Cao Chao chuckled, "Discord? ”

"General Xuande said this, do you think that you have a very good relationship with General Zhengxi? Therefore, General Zhengxi didn't care at all whether Guo Jun participated in the rebellion? ”

"No matter what you say, my family will never do anything unfavorable to the general!"

Guo Lizheng said awe-inspiringly: "The general Kuang supports the world, has merit and social service, why does Your Majesty make the heroes feel cold?!" ”

"I hope that Your Majesty will know that you are lost, don't make a mistake again and again, I don't know about today's events, if there is a next time, I will definitely tell the general!"

Cao Chao shook his head, "Why is it so troublesome?" Wouldn't it be better if you arrested me now and went to see the general? ”

"Or simply kill me and solve the trouble for the general."

"You!"

Guo Li stood up angrily and said arrogantly: "I have made up my mind!" ”

Cao Chao also stood up suddenly, looking even angrier than Guo Li, "It's not you who call the shots in this house!" ”

"My grandmother hasn't spoken yet, what are you making here?!"

Guo Li was shocked and angry, this little cub actually dared to contradict himself, he shouted: "Someone! Send Your Majesty back!! ”

Cao Chao shouted: "Who dares to see me?!" ”

"In this Zhaoyang Palace, it is not General Xuande's turn to give orders!"

Guo Li's face was flushed, his whole body trembled with anger, he looked at the Empress Dowager Guo, "Queen Mother, look at this shaft"

Empress Dowager Guo's face was a little tangled, she looked at Cao Chao, then at Guo Li, and said helplessly: "Don't quarrel, it's all a family."

Cao Chao hurriedly put away his angry appearance.

"Yes."

Guo Li gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Chao, and kept shouting and scolding: "We pushed you to this position at the beginning, and now you dare to bite me back?" If it weren't for us, would you be worthy to live in this palace? You're just the son of a vassal king, how dare you?"

"Enough!"

Empress Dowager Guo's face changed, and she scolded loudly.

Guo Li's eyes widened, looking at this niece who had always been kind.

Empress Dowager Guo sighed, put away the dissatisfaction on her face, and said softly: "What Uncle Yanshi said is not unreasonable. ”

"What kind of person is Sima Shi, we know best, Zishou's matter is enough to make us bow our heads, but he didn't put pressure, but took the initiative to give up the position of the palace to us Besides, Sima Wang and others are in a hurry to leave, Sima Xun has written several times, want to leave the palace, don't these explain the problem?"

"They obviously know what Master Sima wants to do, so let's guard the palace at this time, what can he think?"

Listening to Empress Dowager Guo's words, Guo Jian and Guo Zhi were both a little shaken.

Guo Li still maintained his opinion, "Queen Mother, how can I not know these things? ”

"But what if you know?"

"We all know what kind of person Brother Sima is, in the face of them, we have no chance of winning, we can only bow our heads, we are different from this guy, as long as we choose to be obedient and obedient, maybe the family still has a way to live"

The smile on Empress Dowager Guo's face slowly disappeared.

Can the family still have a way to live?

What about me?

Cao Chao suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"General Xuande, ahahaha, do you want to make a living through obedience?"

"If you say hate, I think, the Sima family hates me more than General Xuande, but why didn't he do it to me? Is it because I'm obedient? No, it's because there's a Biqiu Jian outside, and he doesn't dare to start easily. ”

"Now you want to be obedient, to give up your power, to give up your roots to curry favor with the general."

"If there is no queen mother, why should the general keep you?"

"I think General Xuande really overestimates himself."

"In Sima Shi's eyes, I am not important, General Xuande is not important, my uncle is also not important, the important thing is the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is the most important."

"If there is no support from the Queen Mother, only a dozen soldiers will be needed to punish my Guo family."

"Is there anything more ridiculous than a sharp blade and a rich wolf who doesn't want to use the blade to intimidate, but wants to throw the blade on the ground in an attempt to make the other party let him go?"
