Looking at the young emperor in front of him, Gao Rou's eyes were very complicated.

When the emperor first came to Luoyang, Gao Rou just thought that he was whimsical and ambitious, thinking that he would kill himself sooner or later, so he stayed away from him, for fear of being splashed with blood.

But later, Gao Rou felt more and more that this guy was extraordinary, and he gradually changed his opinion.

This guy is clearly a character like Sima Yi!

The more Gao Rou looked at it, the more she felt that this emperor was like Sima Yi.

Even that appearance is a bit like Sima Yi.

Speaking of which, the reason why Gao Rou is so impulsive is also because of Cao Chao, seeing that people who are younger than her grandson have done such a big thing, how can Gao Rou still be able to bear it?

He wanted to make a big move, and he wanted to show these young people the shock brought by the strong men of the previous era.

Today, his son Gao Dan suddenly sent someone to inform him that the emperor wanted to see him, Gao Rou didn't know why the emperor wanted to see him, but in the current situation, he still decided to meet with the emperor first to see what he was going to say.

"Gao Gong!!"

Cao Chao took the lead in saluting Gao Rou to show his respect for the old minister.

At Gao Rou's age, don't say it's the third duke, even if it's a commoner, Cao Chao has to salute, after all, my Dawei relies on morality to govern the country, and respecting the elderly is also one of the traditional morals, inherited from the rules of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the premise is that the common people must be able to live to this age, in this living environment, under so much oppression, the people at the bottom can live to be fifty years old, which is considered an extremely high life, as for eighty? Then let's wash and sleep.

In the current era, the average life expectancy is really amazing, the life expectancy of the people is outrageously low, and these wealthy families, as long as they do not accept the dispersal, there are many longevity.

Gao Rou, the old man, lived for more than ninety years, and he could live for at least another ten years, and even his eldest son was boiled to death by him.

And Sima Fu also lived to be more than eighty years old.

Maybe in the future, we can follow the example of a certain "holy king" and hold a thousand banquets?

In order to demonstrate the national strength of our Great Wei, I summoned an old man over eighty years old who was from a good background and had "high morals" from all over the world to come to Luoyang for a banquet, so that half of him could be sent away once and again.

Gao Rou didn't know what Cao Chao was thinking at the moment, so she slowly got up and returned the salute to Cao Chao.

Cao Chao sat in front of Gao Rou, looked at him, and suddenly sighed.

"Situ Gong, when did I offend you?"

Gao Rou was stunned, "How dare the minister have such an idea?" Why did Your Majesty say this? ”

"Situ Gong, I have admired you for a long time, when I first came to the temple, I wanted to use your strength to calm the world, but at that time, I had just ascended the throne, and I didn't dare to disturb it."

"Now that the general is seriously ill and the ministers are vying for power and profit, I have been waiting for Situ Gong to come to me, but why does Situ Gong never come to see me?"

"Did I do something wrong and offend Situ Gong?"

Cao Chao looked very aggrieved.

Gao Rou was speechless for a while, in order to dominate the Queen Mother these days, he has always treated Cao Chao as an imaginary enemy, thinking that he would help those outsiders to snatch the "control" of the Queen Mother.

But as soon as Cao Chao opened his mouth now, he suddenly realized that it seemed that the two had never had any disagreement

Cao Chao said helplessly: "Situ Gong, why do you want to treat me like this? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister never wanted to be disrespectful to His Majesty, but the temple was complicated, so he never came to visit, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame."

Gao Rou quickly spoke.

Cao Chao nodded, and he said seriously: "Situ Gong, there are only two of us today, and I will treat you as an elder, so I won't say any lies." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak up."

"Situ Gong thinks, does the Queen Mother have the idea of plotting to usurp the throne? Will she replace me? Will they arrange for their own clan to take over? ”

Cao Chao asked three questions.

Gao Rou was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "No, the Queen Mother is very fond of Your Majesty, Your Majesty should not say such things."

"Situ Gong, when I say this, I don't mean that I don't respect my mother, but because I respect my mother."

"Do you think about it, could something like this happen?"

Gao Rou shook her head, "Absolutely not." ”

Cao Chao laughed, "In that case, is there any conflict between me and my mother?" I'm still young, so what's the harm to me if my mother is in power? Won't all this be given to me in the future? ”

"Didn't Situ Gong want to help his mother and rule the world?"

"Then Situ Gong has the idea of plotting to usurp the throne?"

Gao Rou's eyes widened suddenly, "Your Majesty, don't scare the old minister like this"

"You see, you just want to rule the world well."

"In that case, what is the contradiction between me and the Queen Mother and Situ Gong? What's the dispute? ”

"Isn't it good that I sit on the emperor's throne and watch you govern the world well, and then justifiably become an emperor through the ages?"

Gao Rou pursed her lips.

Cao Chao said again: "Situ Gong shouldn't guard against me, let alone send someone to keep an eye on me, you are always worried that I will join forces with others, but why don't you want to join forces with me?" ”

Gao Rou couldn't speak for a long time.

He looked at the emperor in front of him, but he didn't rush to answer.

The emperor is different from the queen mother.

Joining forces with the Queen Mother, Gao Rou believed that she could control the Queen Mother, but in the face of the emperor, Gao Rou did not have that confidence.

Besides, you have been close to the Sima family and the Lu family all these days, who knows if you were sent by them to do your own?

In the face of cautious Gao Rou, Cao Chao's face was even more bitter.

"Situ Gong, the Sima family wants to take away my country, and those people in the Lu family want to control the temple, and you won't believe it if I say it."

"I asked you to come this time, and I have one more thing I want to ask you to help with."

"Oh? What's up? ”

Cao Chao said: "Today's Chinese army is particularly chaotic, which the Queen Mother and I do not want to see, I plan to let Jiao Bo, Ji Kang, Lu An, Ma Long, Wang Rong, Ruan Ji, Liu Ling, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu and others be appointed as captains and arranged in the Chinese army." ”

Gao Rou narrowed her eyes and stared at Cao Chao in front of her.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Cao Chao said seriously: "These people go to the Chinese army, they all have their own purposes, after they arrive at the Chinese army, they will begin to reorganize the army, those who do not know how to fight in military law, and promote real capable fighters." ”

Gao Rou shook her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't think that an edict can appoint ten lieutenants of the Chinese army, right?" ”

"These edicts, but the ministers have to go to trial, if the ministers think it is inappropriate, they can still be returned, the original Emperor Liezu even carried out the edict of the auxiliary ministers can be blocked by the ministers, how do you think the edict of the Queen Mother will be more useful?"

"I know this, and I also know that the person in charge of drafting the edict is Meng Kang, the superintendent of the Central Library."

"This man is your old subordinate."

"That's why you can't make it to your mother."

Hearing Cao Chao's words, Gao Rou was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to help?"

"Gao Gong, I am willing to join forces with you, even if you don't want to, I am willing to befriend you, I will not help outsiders to deal with my own family, you can rest assured."

"There are many things to come, and I will need your help."

"Of course, if you have something, you can also let me help."

"In this palace, my mother and I are already indistinguishable from each other, so you don't need to distinguish us so clearly."

Gao Rou was noncommittal, he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to help, it's just that you want to arrange ten lieutenants of the Chinese army at one time, who can help you?" Even if Emperor Liezu is reborn, I am afraid that it will be impossible to arrange ten new captains at one time."

"These lieutenants are involved in each other, and they are all close to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and it is not that His Majesty can abolish them if he says so."

Cao Chao hesitated and asked, "Then arrange four?" ”

"I don't force it, it has to be ten, just four, how about it?"

Gao Rou still shook her head, "Impossible." ”

"Your Majesty, it's impossible to have four, if Your Majesty wants the ministers to help, the ministers can only help you arrange one."

"One??"

"What's the use of a battalion?"

Cao Chao frowned, "Situ Gong, I have never begged you, so let's do it, two, I will let the Queen Mother give the order, and then you help me pass, and arrange the two of them first"

Cao Chao understood early on that it was impossible for him to push four lieutenants up at the same time, and he was not the emperor with real power, so doing so would cause a huge backlash.

However, this matter can be arranged in a certain order, two of them will be arranged first, and the rest will be arranged slowly, and even the next time it can be arranged through other channels, such as through the channels of the Sima family.

Gao Rou frowned.

The emperor has a request for himself, in fact, this matter is not harmful to Gao Rou himself, after all, the Chinese army is not Gao Rou's goal, he wants to take the upper line, and even, if Cao Chao can really clean up those minions of the family, it will be very beneficial to him, after all, Lu Yu has his own people in the Chinese army, such as his son-in-law.

Gao Rou narrowed her eyes, if Lu Yu's son-in-law position was given to the emperor's people

He looked at the emperor in front of him again, sighed and said, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, how can the minister not obey?" Leave this matter to the minister, and the minister will do his best."

"It's just that Your Majesty probably also knows that some ministers in the temple regard the Chinese army as their own, and I will definitely offend these people if I appoint a lieutenant for Your Majesty now, and if it can't be done because of these people's obstacles, please don't blame the old ministers."

Cao Chao smiled: "I believe in Situ Gong, Situ Gong is out of the horse, it must be foolproof!" ”

"Situ Gong is a sage who wants to rule the world, how can he be stopped by some villains in the court?"
