"Brother, why did he come?"

At the same time, Sima Zhao sat next to Sima Shi, his face full of doubts.

He didn't think that Cao Chao came here for the sake of forming an alliance, if he really wanted to form an alliance, it should be done in private, how could there be any fanfare to handle this matter.

Sima Shi was lying on the bed, and his speech became weak, and in front of Cao Chao, he obviously did not reveal his true state.

"He was here to intensify the struggle between the Great Clan and us."

"Originally??"

"So he changed his mind when he came?"

"Well, I scared him, and he realized that if the conflict was exacerbated, I would involve him as well."

Sima Shi endured the pain all over his body and said with difficulty: "He doesn't have the idea of making a move at the moment, he probably wants to accumulate his own power." ”

"Brother, what does he think now?"

"He wants to take the Sima family."

"What?!"

Sima Zhao stood up suddenly, his eyes full of anger, "How dare the erector?!" ”

Sima Shi grabbed Sima Zhao's hand, "Don't worry, my father also bowed his head in front of Cao Shuang, forbearance, forbearance is not"

"Brother, don't worry, I know, I know, you have to be patient."

When Sima Zhao saw his brother's appearance, he immediately changed his words.

"Son, you are not the opponent of the ministers."

Sima Shi said, Sima Zhao wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Brother, what are we going to do next?"

"Don't panic, today's ministers are not united in your safety."

Sima Shi took a deep breath and continued: "The position of the general, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it, but Shang Shutai, Shang Shutai can't be placed!" ”

"In the future, facing the emperor, you have to obey his orders more, pretend to be headed by him, you can send An Shi to his side and let him relax his vigilance."

"If you do things for him, don't do evil, but do things with all your might, he is a man who is very tolerant of those who are useful."

"As long as you have Shangshutai in your hand, then there is hope for a turnaround."

"My reputation is worse than your reputation, but it's not like this, all things, I will arrange it myself, don't get involved"

Sima Shi commanded earnestly.

Sima Shi only spoke for a moment, and then fell asleep again.

Sima Zhao's eyes were very complicated.

He didn't know that his brother had come to the last moment, and now, he didn't have a lot of waking hours in a day, and from time to time he fell into a coma, his eye disease became more and more serious, the pain was unbearable, his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't get up, and he had a hard time talking.

In this state, it would be too much to ask my brother to continue to protect him.

Sima Zhao sat next to Sima Shi and began to think of countermeasures.

Since the position of the general can't be retained, can the general make a fuss in exchange for Shang Shutai?

I still have to ask Du Yu to see what good ideas they have.

There are so many talented people around me, even if they can't think of a solution, they can always do it.

Just as Sima Zhao was pondering, a guard suddenly walked in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Sima Zhao grimaced and strode out of the inner room.

Sima Yan and Sima Cao Chao were standing outside the door, and when they saw Sima Zhao coming out, Cao Chao hurriedly asked, "Is the situation of the father-in-law better?" ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Sima Zhao's face, much more enthusiastic than Fang Cai.

"Your Majesty don't worry, my brother's health has improved a lot."

"That's good."

"Father, I have something to ask of you."

"Oh, Your Majesty, please speak."

"The queen misses Ping very much, I think, it's better to take him to the palace, with the two of us with him, both mother and son can feel better, Emperor Wu also raised He Yan Qinlang and others, I am ready to follow the ancestors, keep him by my side, and teach him personally"

Sima Zhao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, it should be so!" ”

"Your Majesty wants to take back his own child, who can say no?"

Cao Chao looked at Sima Zhao in front of him again, it seems that Sima Shi asked him to temporarily express his kindness to himself?

Cao Chao was overjoyed and grabbed Sima Zhao's hand again.

"Father Zhong, speaking of this, this Ping still needs a teacher to teach him, if he follows me to the palace, I'm afraid that there will be no sages around to teach."

"In this way, why don't you let Du Yuankai go to the palace with me, serve as my Huangmen squire, and teach the children when you have time, what do you think?"

Sima Zhao's face changed drastically.

Du Yu is his most trusted confidant and strategist now, how can he give it to the emperor?

Cao Chao hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, you can summon him in your spare time, I go to school and study on weekdays, and I don't need the Yellow Gate, and I already have two Yellow Doors, so he won't be too busy."

"Your Majesty, there are still many things in the General's Mansion, why don't you change someone?"

"Yang Gong under my command was your supervisor in the past, why don't you let him follow you to the palace?"

Cao Chao was stunned, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot that there is still this great sage!" ”

"Father Zhong, give me both of them!"

At this moment, Sima Zhao's mouth was almost crooked.

Naigong slaps you both!

But after all, the situation is different, Brother Fangcai's orders, he still kept it in mind, Sima Zhao had to say: "This matter, you have to ask Yuan Kai, Your Majesty doesn't know, Yuan Kai is filial, and there is often the idea of resigning to go back to take care of his mother, and the minister will tell him well and let him go to the palace earlier." ”

Sima Zhao's words are typical procrastination, holding high the banner of filial piety, so that Cao Chao can't say much.

Cao Chao was a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry.

This made Cao Chao's idea of controlling the Sima family even more firm, the inheritance of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao is really huge, not only these virtuous ministers, but also the Taishou and generals in the army, if they can get these

Although he couldn't take Du Yu away, he took Sima Yu's son from here, which made Cao Chao quite happy.

It may be better for Sima Yu to stay in the palace than in the General's Mansion, and after taking her son over, she has no worries.

And Cao Chao needs Sima Yu very much at the moment, after all, Sima Yu represents the marriage relationship between Cao Chao and the Sima family.

In the past, this kind of marriage relationship served the Sima family, but now, Cao Chao can use this marriage relationship to counter the Sima family

"Father, something has happened!"

Gao Jun hurriedly walked into the study.

This person is Gao Rou's eldest son, and he is currently serving in the General's Mansion and is an official of Sima Shi.

Gao Rou was bowing her head to write something at the moment, and seeing her son in such a hurry, he shook his head again, "You are all like this, how can I rest assured about the future?" ”

Gao Jun didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "Father, today the emperor came to find the general, they talked a lot in the room, met with everyone, and finally took Sima Yu's son"

Gao Jun truthfully informed Gao Rou of these things.

Gao Rou was very calm, "Sure enough, as I expected, there are not many people who want to use the emperor's power, Lu Yu, Sima Zhao, they all want to do so." ”

"However, the emperor is young after all, so he doesn't need to be so nervous."

Gao Jun was a little surprised, "But the third brother once said that my father's evaluation of the emperor is extremely high, why is he despised it so many times now?" ”

Gao Rou raised her head and said angrily, "What are you talking about?" ”

"The emperor is gifted and intelligent, both civil and military, and his strategy is extraordinary."

"However, after all, he is young and inexperienced, I have great momentum, and I am an old minister of the Three Dynasties, how can he be my opponent?!"

"I don't have the idea of usurping the country like Sima Shi! I just want to govern the world well, and since the emperor is smart, he won't come to stop me! ”

"Jun, you have to remember that there are many smart and outstanding people in this world, but in the face of power, these are nothing!"

Gao Situ's eyes were hot, and he continued: "With the great general Lu Shangshu, I will be able to rule the world, crusade against Shu Wu, unify the world, and establish immortal merits, Your Majesty will definitely grow up and become a talent, and I can return power to Your Majesty."

Looking at his father's high-pitched appearance, Gao Jun's eyes were full of astonishment, without the slightest joy and excitement.

Father, this is carried away.

In the face of this great power, I almost lost myself.

He frowned, but he didn't dare say anything more. He knew how many things had happened to his father in these days, first he was murdered by the Zhong Hui, which made him instantly change from a temple leader to a lonely family, and he almost died in his old age.

immediately wanted to fight back, but was broken by Sima Shi several times and humiliated repeatedly.

And Gao Rou was already eighty years old at this time.

At such an age, encountering these things, and suddenly seeing the position of the general waving at him, Gao Situ's heart suddenly lost.

Gao Rou said a lot, and then said: "The emperor's affairs can be put aside first, what I want to solve now is Lu Yu's affairs." ”

"You know what?"

"Lu Yu, that stupid thing, actually went to meet Sima Fu."

Gao Rou laughed, "This is his own death, now, he colluded with the Sima family and betrayed the interests of his ministers, and the world will know about it." ”

The corners of Gao Jun's eyes jumped, and he said: "Father, I think that Lu Shangshu dares to go to the Taifu, he must not be afraid of these Moreover, the ministers have no idea of killing the Sima family, they just want to implement those policies as soon as possible You are now full of thoughts on the Queen Mother, but once Lu Yu colluded with Sima Fu, and then began to implement new policies in Shangshutai"

"The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will naturally belong to Lu Yu, and his father's plan will all fail"

"Humph! You hairy boy, what can you understand? ”

"The old man has walked more bridges than you have walked, and it is not your turn to teach me to do things!"

"Spread rumors in Luoyang tomorrow, just say that Lu Yu colluded with Sima Fu, and the Sima family promised to give him Shang Shu Ling, and he betrayed the ministers for Shang Shu Ling"
