Chapter 145: Thanksgiving
"Your Majesty!"
"The person has arrived, and he has just entered the Zhaoyang Hall at this moment!"
Husband Xu hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice.
Cao Chao's eyes lit up.
It's finally here.
Chen Qian.
In these days, Cao Chao has been studying the life of his great-grandfather, as well as Sima Yi, Sima Shi and others.
Cao Chao now wants to be a powerful minister and set aside today's great generals, so he naturally wants to emulate these powerful ministers in the past and learn full experience and lessons from their deeds.
In Cao Chao's plan to become a powerful minister, Chen Qian is an indispensable link.
He didn't want to meet Chen Qian through Wang Xiang.
He has to be the point where the lines add up.
Chen Qian is also very motivated, but he doesn't care much about the clan, he only cares about his personal position, such a quick knife, Cao Chao likes it very much.
He had already instructed the eunuchs in the palace to keep an eye on them, and once Chen Qian entered the palace to meet the queen mother, he would inform himself in time.
Now the eunuchs in the entire palace are headed by Cao Chao.
The shoe is on the other foot.
If Zhong Hui wants to replace the attendants around him, unless he replaces the eunuchs in the entire palace, it is useless.
Cao Chao was already completely familiar with them, and even those guards and armorers were already familiar with them.
He was finally able to conspire with his subordinates, and he was finally able to take the initiative to do some big things.
Today, he is going to block Chen Qian.
Cao Chao looked at Xu's husband on the side and asked loudly, "What do you mean I don't know?" Can such a major event as the canonization of the queen be so neglected? There's no news yet! ”
"Someone's coming!"
"I'm going to Zhaoyang Palace!!"
Xu's husband reacted quickly, he lowered his head, and hurriedly said: "Please forgive your majesty, the slave really doesn't know"
Cao Chao snorted coldly, got up and left here, and everyone followed him.
Sima Hui looked helplessly at Sima Che on the side.
"Your Majesty really doesn't stop for a day, why are there so many things?"
Sima Che laughed, "I can't wait, it's a beauty trick to support the queen general in such a hurry!" ”
Sima thought back to the appearance of the queen, skinny, seriously ill, no matter how you look at it, she has nothing to do with beauty.
Cao Chao hurriedly walked towards the Zhaoyang Palace, complaining in a low voice all the way.
At this moment, inside the Zhaoyang Palace.
Empress Dowager Guo was looking at Chen Qian in front of her.
She was originally a cowardly and sensitive person, and she had no ambitions, and she was even reprimanded by people from her own clan several times, but she didn't dare to refute it.
Because she was very insecure, she did not dare to leave her clan.
However, the appearance of Cao Chao gradually changed this situation, and the addition of Wang Xiang made up for the sense of uneasiness after the clan left, and the queen mother's personality changed a lot.
On that day, Zhong Hui's attack made the Queen Mother shrink back again, revealing her original form.
Despite this, people who have tasted power, even if they are scared once, will not give up so easily.
Regarding Zhong Hui's behavior, the Queen Mother believes that this is because her strength is not big enough, and she does not have enough ministers to contact.
Chen Qian, as another important minister, Empress Dowager Guo looked at him with joy in her eyes.
She asked about something.
Chen Qian was very helpless.
He knew in his heart that the Queen Mother was not the leader, the leading power was in Wang Xiang's hands, and he came to see the Queen Mother today just to reassure the nominal faction leader.
Let her feel at ease so that she can continue to do things in her name.
That's all.
Chen Qian didn't have any confidence in the Queen Mother, and sure enough, the Queen Mother didn't disappoint him, all she asked about were useless things, mediocre people!
Chen Qian was patient and kept answering.
At this time, Guo's husband suddenly broke in and said, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is here!" ”
Chen Qian frowned, and immediately got up, ready to leave.
Empress Dowager Guo said helplessly: "Alas, it's just that this child is suffering, let him come in." ”
Before Chen Qian had time to resign, the emperor broke into the Zhaoyang Hall first.
"Meet Mother!!"
Cao Chao saluted, and then looked at Chen Qian on the side, "Meet Chen Gong!" ”
Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly returned the salute.
Cao Chao walked to his side the next moment, took his hand enthusiastically, and looked at the Empress Dowager Guo.
"Congratulations Mother! With the assistance of such a wise person, why worry about the big thing? ”
Empress Dowager Guo laughed.
Cao Chao pulled Chen Qian to sit down again very respectfully, "I have long talked about you from the prince, and they all said that your talent is not weaker than today's general!" ”
"But I think what the teacher said is wrong!"
"You are clearly a great Sima's talent, how can you bend to talent?"
"Don't dare to be."
Cao Chao sat beside him, holding his hand and not letting go.
"Mother heard that Chen Gong is coming, but I ran all the way, and I didn't dare to relax at all, I admired Chen Gong the most, and my mother didn't know it, right?"
"When Marquis Zhen served as Shangshuling, Liu Ye was deeply favored by Emperor Liezu, so he often spoke ill of Marquis Zhen, and Marquis Zhenhou was very worried, so he asked his two sons."
"Chen Gong was still very young at the time, but he said to the Marquis Zhen: Your Majesty is a Ming Jun, and you are a loyal minister, even if Your Majesty mistakenly believes the rumors, he will not embarrass you, don't worry."
"Later, it was just as Chen Gong said!"
Cao Chao said with a smile: "Gong Chen has the wisdom of staying in the marquis, which is incomparable to my teacher, while he is still here, my mother has to hurry up and ask more important things about the temple!" ”
Empress Dowager Guo said proudly: "I have already asked!" ”
Watching the interaction between mother and son, Chen Qian was extremely surprised.
Chen Qian knew the character of the Queen Mother, and knew early on that the emperor was the dominant one between the two, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother was completely led by the emperor.
And the emperor's words revealed a lot of information.
As soon as he came to Zhaoyang Palace, he already knew that he still had his own eyes and ears in the palace?
Those touts he has about himself, does he know what he thinks?
Looking at what he meant, he wanted to compete with Wang Xiang for the dominance of the faction? Does Wang Xiang know about this?
Of course, Cao Chao didn't know how much his words touched Chen Qian.
He is still touting Chen Qian and the Queen Mother at the moment.
As if there is such a person, there is no need to worry about anything.
Empress Dowager Guo laughed even louder.
In the end, it was naturally Cao Chao who sent Chen Qian out.
Cao Chao still took his hand and whispered, "Gong Chen, I have something I want to ask you for. ”
"Your Majesty, please command."
"There is a martial artist in Yanzhou, called Ma Long, I heard that this person attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and can be outstanding, staying in Yanzhou, it is really condescending, I don't know if you can promote him?"
Wu Meng engaged in?? Malone??
Chen Qian was confused, he hadn't heard of it at all, which big family was born? Fufeng Ma's?
Although Chen Qian didn't think about it, he still didn't refuse, this matter was not a difficult thing for him, he nodded, and he should respond.
Cao Chao said very directly: "Thank you Chen Gong!" ”
"There is Chen Gong in the temple, I don't have anything to worry about, when the big things are done, you will be the head of the ministers!!"
Chen Qian is different from Wang Xiang, so Cao Chao's way of wooing the two of them is also different.
Cao Chao's straightforward words were really recognized by Chen Qian.
Chen Qian is not the kind of person who is good at fame, he is a very realistic person, there is no need to hide it in front of him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Qian replied as well.
The two parted at the entrance of the hall, and Cao Chao did not continue to follow him, but just watched him go away.
Chen Qian can use it, as long as the price in his hand is larger.
And Chen Qian was also extremely satisfied with the emperor's performance at the moment, and even had more confidence in the big things to be done next.
If the Emperor had learned of his somewhat radical ideas, perhaps he would have fully supported them, right?
Seeing him off, Cao Chao turned around and walked into the Zhaoyang Hall again.
"Mother."
"He's gone."
Cao Chao sat next to the Queen Mother.
"With the prince and Chen Jun here, our mother and son finally don't have to worry"
"Mother!"
Cao Chao said with some seriousness: "Although they are virtuous ministers, they are foreign ministers after all, and with the help of foreign ministers, how can we compete with the Sima family?" ”
Empress Dowager Guo was a little puzzled, she asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"I think we should reuse our own people, forgive those who can be pardoned, and promote those who can be promoted, only our own family is the most reliable."
Empress Dowager Guo frowned again, "The Guo family and the Guo family have already defected to the Sima family, how can they still be reused?" ”
"Mother, you are not from the Guo family."
"When I say my own people, I mean the people of the Cao family."
"Huh??"
Cao Chao said calmly: "Since Emperor Wen, the temple has been suppressing clans in various places, weakening their power, and finally leading to the current situation. ”
"Mother, next, we should gradually remove those restrictions from the clan and strengthen the strength of the clan in order to achieve great things!!"
Empress Dowager Guo was silent for a moment, she understood what Cao Chao meant, Cao Chao wanted to release the clan power.
Although Empress Dowager Guo has experienced the Cao Shuang period, she has no ill will towards the clan.
It's just that she doesn't know what role these clans can play.
Since the rise of the Sima family, these clans have behaved extremely weakly, they don't use it at all, and they even take the initiative to stand on the side of the Sima family, which is simply despisable!
Even if they are willing to help themselves, do they still have the power to fight back?
This is not a trivial matter, for the sake of these useless forces, is it worth taking action yourself?
"When my mother moved me to Hebei and stayed away from the fiefdom, do you know what I thought?"
Empress Dowager Guo was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
Cao Chao replied: "I was so happy at the time, thinking that I was finally out of the sea of suffering, and I was grateful to Master Sima. ”
