Guo Jian was a little dazed.

He wanted to dodge, but he didn't have much courage, so he only dared to drink and disperse, and didn't dare to pretend to be sick and resign directly.

He was afraid of General Xuande, the Queen Mother, and even more afraid of Sima Shi.

And Cao Chao's words made him have different ideas, and he was a little tempted, but he quickly dispelled this idea.

"No, no, if my father knows, he will definitely not spare me."

That's what Cao Chao wanted, he chuckled and whispered, "If my uncle can trust me, I can help you." ”

"How can you help me?"

"I can tell the Queen Mother that you are seriously ill and let the Queen Mother remove your uncle, if the Queen Mother orders it, then General Xuande will definitely not be able to see it!"

Guo Jian was still very hesitant and didn't dare to make a decision.

With this indecisive character, he is destined to have nothing to do with major events.

Cao Chao had no choice but to continue: "If you are unwilling to resign, just if I don't say anything, I think that General Xuande also has his own ideas, and he will definitely not take his clansmen to death." ”

"What kind of person is General Xuande, dignified Xiping Guo family"

"That's it!!"

Guo Jian interrupted Cao Chao, the last thing he wanted to hear now was this sentence.

What a big family, what a big family, why can't you sober up?

Is there a third prince in our family? Or is there a great general? The only lintel is the Queen Mother, but these people are still immersed in the original dream, feeling that they are still the behemoth entrenched in Liangzhou, feeling that they have achieved the Queen Mother, and even want to seek skin with the tiger

Guo Jian gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"I'm quitting!"

"I don't want to follow them to death!"

"I can't get in touch with the Queen Mother, and I bother Your Majesty to tell the Queen Mother for me, just say that I am seriously ill, please ask the Queen Mother to remove me from my official position for the sake of the same clan!"

Cao Chao grabbed Guo Jian's hand, "Uncle, leave this matter to me." ”

"Rest assured, you'll be safe from today onwards."

For some reason, hearing Cao Chao's promise, Guo Jian was really relieved, and his whole body was a lot more relaxed, he knew that this kid's promise would not play any role.

After Guo Jian left in a hurry, Cao Chao's eyes were filled with joy.

Guo Jian didn't care too much about that power, he cared more about his own life.

Now that he is willing to take the initiative to let go, then Cao Chao can persuade the Queen Mother to change someone to be the general of the town guard.

As for whether the Guo family should be allowed to serve as a ......

Hahaha, even if she agrees, the Queen Mother may not agree.

This military power can neither be in his own hands nor in the hands of the Guo family, if he can, Cao Chao really wants Yin Damu to take it, but this is impossible.

Cao Chao thought about it for a long time, and he felt that there was one person who was the most suitable person to serve as the general of this town.

Cao Chao was not in a hurry to see the Queen Mother, and in the following days, he seriously considered the matter of replacing the leader of the forbidden army.

Sure enough, in the following days, Guo Jian stopped coming to the palace in the name of being sick.

Empress Dowager Guo was also very surprised, and sent someone to inquire about the situation.

Guo Jian was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed, and the doctor said that it was because he drank too much and fell drunk on the snow.

At this time, Cao Chao finally walked into the Zhaoyang Palace.

"What??"

"Pretending to be sick??"

Empress Dowager Guo looked a little angry, she looked at Cao Chao on the side, and said angrily: "I am still so worried about him, and I also sent the imperial doctor to see him and send him medicine, these people don't have a good thing!" ”

Cao Chao hurriedly said: "Uncle is actually helpless, he told me that he didn't want to help General Xuande as an internal response, and he didn't want to be that disobedient person, so he had to pretend to be sick." ”

Hearing these words, Empress Dowager Guo still didn't have a good face.

"Don't he even have the courage to resign on his own initiative?"

"Mother, the prince thinks this is a good opportunity!"

"Oh?"

"What did the Maharaja say?"

"The prince said that the reason why the Guo family can serve as a general is entirely because of you, but the Guo family can't see through this now, and they are reckless and reckless, which is not good for you, you can use this matter to directly remove Guo Jian, on the one hand, to win over Guo Jian, and on the other hand, to deter the rest of the Guo family, and let them know that you can let them come up and let them go down."

"And most importantly, we can find a real person of our own to fill this position!"

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes lit up, "I understand!" Is it to let the prince serve as the general of the town guard? ”

Cao Chao pursed his lips and didn't say anything for a long time.

He is the dignified Tiger of Jiuqing, what kind of general did he come to the palace to be a guard??

Besides, if this Wang Xiang dares to use his own family to take over this position, Sima Shi will be able to invite him to a banquet tomorrow.

Cao Chao shook his head, "The prince is not talking about himself, but a person that Sima Shi can't even imagine." ”

"Oh?"

"Who?"

"Yanghu."

"Who? Who is Yanghu? ”

Empress Dowager Guo looked a little dazed.

Speaking of this, Cao Chao was not sleepy, he hurriedly said: "Mother, this person was born in the Taishan Goat Clan, his grandfather Yang Xu, was the Nanyang Taishou when the Ling Emperor, his father Yang Xu, once served as the Taishou of the Shangdang, and his mother was the daughter of the famous Confucian Cai Yong!" ”

"He was upright, erudite, good at writing, dashing, beautiful, good at argumentation, loyal, and famous."

Empress Dowager Guo was not the slightest excited, she frowned and asked, "Then what is the relationship between him and Yang Huiyu?" ”

Yang Huiyu is Sima Shi's current wife, and Sima Shi's second wife after Xiahou Hui.

Cao Chao said in a low voice: "It's his own sister." ”

"What?!"

Empress Dowager Guo was furious, "Is this a replacement for your own family?" This is the in-laws of the Sima family! ”

"Mother don't worry, it is precisely because he is Sima Shi's marriage that he can be allowed to serve, my mother doesn't know, although this person is related to the Sima family, he can be honest and innocent, and he is unwilling to participate in the temple battle.

"The prince said that this person has a great heart, and he is not a person who aids and abuses."

"Besides, this man is the son-in-law of my family."

"Huh?"

"His wife is the daughter of the general Xiahou Ba."

In this era, the family marries each other too frequently, their relationship is very chaotic, you can't tell it clearly, just say Yanghu, he was born in Taishan Goat, his mother is Jiyang Cai, his ex-mother is Confucian Kong, his aunt Xin Xianying is Longxi Xin, his brother-in-law is Sima, and his wife is Xiahou

Marriage is very important, but it is not so important, when it comes to family affection, anyone can have something to do with everyone.

Cao Chao's desire for Yanghu to replace Guo Jian was not a temporary idea, but the result of his repeated thinking.

Yanghu is a person, looking at his life experience, there is no moral problem, and it can even be said that he is one of the few ministers who has the style of a big man.

In the early years, he has always been reluctant to enter the office, and then Sima Zhao personally recruited, he had to come, after taking up an official position, he was also upright, not to be intimate, in the future, he also played well, in all positions have done perfect, can be called Sima Yan's ability to govern the world, but unfortunately died too early

Cao Chao didn't think that he could win over this person to deal with the Sima family together.

However, this person will also not come to deal with himself for the sake of the Sima family!

And the most important thing is that this person has never been out of office, if he is promoted by the empress dowager, then the empress dowager will be his master, and he will have no reason to be loyal to the Sima family.

He was in the palace, and if Sima Shi was about to die of illness and ordered him to be executed, Yanghu would not do anything to himself even if he resigned.

If the Queen Mother ordered to protect herself, it is hard to say whether he would fight back.

He is not Jia Chong, nor Zhong Hui, Yanghu is simple, keeps his promises, approachable, frank and sincere, this person is not Wei Jin at all, he is very Han, and even a bit of a Warring States.

What Cao Chao cares about the most is his talent.

There are only so many top people in this era, and if one or two of them can help them, the situation will not be so difficult.

If you want to defeat a top capable minister like Zhong Hui, you have to find an opponent of the same level and fight in the ring with him.

But Empress Dowager Guo is still a little incomprehensible, Xiahou Ba has already defected, his own sister is by Sima Shi's side, he will come to help us??

Cao Chao said with a smile: "Mother, since the prince said that this person will serve, he must be sure, perhaps, let him explain it to you in person." ”

Out of trust in Wang Xiang, Empress Dowager Guo nodded, reluctantly not objecting to this idea.

The two discussed for a while, and Empress Dowager Guo let Cao Chao leave.

Cao Chao was a little anxious, he had to recruit this one before Sima Zhao, but he was not afraid that he would not come, the queen mother and the emperor would personally conquer him, could he not come? If he doesn't come, it's okay, when Sima Zhao goes to conquer again, will he dare to come?

This is one of the few people who has a good face.

"Your Majesty!!"

"A new rider came to meet him"

As soon as Cao Chao walked out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Xu's husband couldn't wait.

Cao Chao was very helpless, obviously he was his own free rider, but he was always the last to know.

The Sima family really regards Da Wei as their own, and it's really not polite at all, why don't you notify me in advance?

"Which of the big clan's sons are you?"

Cao Chao couldn't help asking.

"It's Situ Gong's youngest son, Gao Guang!"

"Oh?"

Is this the Sima family preparing to win over Situ Gong? Didn't they quarrel fiercely before?

Cao Chao saw the youngest son of the Situ family in the East Hall, Gao Guang seemed to be a very honest and responsible person, and in the face of Cao Chao, he did not have the slightest arrogance as a child of the big clan.

"Meet Your Majesty!!"

"Get up, please! Hurry up, please! ”

Cao Chao smiled and helped him up and took his hand, "How can we meet here?" Go to the West Hall with me! ”

Gao Guang didn't dare to refuse, and walked cautiously by Cao Chao's side.

"The minister was originally going to Huainan to guard the Taishou, but the general did not allow my father to argue with them, but he was humiliated by them, and now he is sick and lying on the couch, my free rider, which they used to appease my father."

The highlights look a little sad.

The eyes of several eunuchs behind him were full of joy, and they all looked at the emperor.

This is a good opportunity, if you can get Situ Gong's help, why worry about it?
