Outside the Zhaoyang Palace, there was silence.

Everyone knelt outside the hall and looked at the young emperor standing on the chariot in horror.

The Emperor raised the long sword in his hand and reprimanded angrily.

Under the sunlight, his body seemed to be surrounded by a halo of light, which was particularly dazzling.

Gao Rou looked at the familiar armor and listened to the angry question.

At this moment, Gao Rou finally understood.

When the long sword was aimed at him, he realized that his opponent was not General Wei, but the young emperor in front of him.

Gao Rou didn't know how Cao Chao did all this.

He came here alone, without any helpers.

Inside and outside the palace, all over the world, they are obviously our people.

But why, now the person who is being pointed at by the long sword is himself.

Cui Zan's face was pale, and he shook his head, "Impossible, impossible"

"Could it be that Sima Zhao wants to wipe us out?! Is he trying to kill us by the Emperor's hand? ”

But this time, there was no minister to echo him.

As long as Sima Zhao didn't go crazy, he wouldn't do such a thing, Sima Zhao didn't need to take such a risk, if all this was his layout, then he had already done it perfectly, why bother?

There is only one explanation.

Everything was done by the emperor in front of him.

When the ministers were about to attack the emperor, he began to want to fight back.

He controlled the Chinese army, coaxed Sima Gan, and after pulling out Shangshutai, he subdued Sima Gan and defeated all the two major forces in Luoyang.

Xin Chang was dumbfounded, looking at this drastic change, he still hadn't reacted.

Isn't the emperor General Wei's sword?

Could it be that General Wei is the emperor's sword?

Thinking of his previous stupid persuasion of the emperor to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and thinking of the emperor's serious words before, Xin Chang suddenly sat down on the ground, his legs weak.

Cao Chao ignored the rest of the ministers, his eyes just stared at Gao Rou in the distance.

When Cao Chao came to the temple, he wanted to win over the world-famous Situ Gong many times for his own use.

When he was in Yuancheng, Guo Zhi often mentioned this person's name, saying that he was Zhou Bo of the Great Wei and the first hero to eradicate Cao Shuang.

Cao Chao also fantasized about whether this old minister of the Three Dynasties, an upright minister, could help him and take down the powerful minister of the temple again.

It's a pity that Gao Rou's uprightness can only be seen when there is a lack of benefit distribution.

Cao Shuang refused to reuse him, then he was an upright warrior, and when Sima Shi abolished the emperor, he personally sent the abolished emperor to the fiefdom, and when Sima Zhao killed the king, he was busy accepting the title.

Gao Rou recognized the layer of armor on Cao Chao's body.

"Let you lead the head of a county today, you are young, for the left and right princes to despise, and there are many traitors in the place, I hope you will govern for the public, do not show favoritism, don't disappoint me!"

Cao Chao's body and a figure in Gao Rou's heart gradually overlapped.

At that moment, Gao Rou was in tears.

He slowly lowered his head in the direction of Cao Chao, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly.

"The minister confesses! The minister pleaded guilty!! ”

Looking at Gao Rou, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, Cao Chao continued to speak: "Today, there is a traitor Gao Rou who instructed his two sons to murder me, and the mistakes committed by their father and son are unforgivable!" Remove him from office immediately! Deprive him of his knighthood! Punish the three clans! ”

The ministers were suddenly frightened, and they all looked at Shang Shuling Zheng Chong.

This punishment is inevitably a bit too heavy, there was a Sima Shi who punished people at every turn, and he finally sent him away, and here is another one!

They hoped that Zheng Chong would open his mouth.

But Zheng Chong turned a blind eye to the eyes of the ministers.

Why don't you intercede?

I can't protect myself now, as the leader of Shang Shutai, I am the mastermind!

Forcibly pushed me up at the beginning, and now you still want me to intercede?

Sima Fu pursed his lips and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't dare to speak.

Cao Chao pronounced Gao Rou's sentence and slowly looked at Sima Fu, a loyal minister of the Great Wei.

Sima Fu shuddered.

For Sima Fu, it is obvious that he can't punish his three clans, otherwise he will not be able to inherit Sima Shi's inheritance, the scope of these three clans is too wide, and even Yanghu Du Pre has to be killed together.

"Tai Fu Gong, can you plead guilty?"

Sima Fu hurriedly lowered his head, "Your Majesty, the old minister pleaded guilty!" ”

"Taifu Sima Fu, who participated in the rebellion, should have punished his three clans, remembered the merits of Xuanwen Gong, and pardoned the sins of his clan, and was punished! Exile to Liaodong! ”

This punishment refers to shaving off Sima Fu's hair, for a celebrity, this is more serious than chopping off the root of his life, and it is a great humiliation for the scholar, and at Sima Fu's age, going to Liaodong may not be able to last for a year.

This was obviously a direct sentence to death, but it was not a direct death sentence, but it was to make him die in an extremely humiliating way.

Sima Fu's eyes suddenly moistened.

It's better to abandon the city!!

The fame he has cultivated for decades, and the character he has worked so hard to set up has completely collapsed at this moment, but he doesn't dare to refute it.

Only one of him died was already the emperor's great tolerance.

Sima Fu slowly bowed in the direction of Cao Chao, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The ministers couldn't sit still, and the three bigwigs who had been in power before were gone.

Cao Chao finally looked at his teacher, Wang Xiang.

Cao Chao is still very grateful to his teacher, after all, on the way to stumble on Sima's house, this teacher has contributed a lot, if it weren't for him, Cao Chao would not have been able to make the temple so chaotic.

But it was also because of him that Cao Chao was forced to start a counterattack in advance.

Wang Xiang is Cao Chao's teacher, but Cao Chao still has no pressure to kill him, what about the teacher? I'm a king!

Guess which comes first?

Wang Xiang didn't wait for Cao Chao to ask, and knelt down directly in front of him.

"The old minister pleaded guilty! Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Wang Xiang knew very well in his heart that the general trend had gone at this moment, at least in this palace, the ministers were lambs to be slaughtered, and those who could do such things didn't care whether the family in the world would rebel or not, he directly chose to bow his head, as long as he didn't touch his clan, he could accept it.

Cao Chao is also very clear about his thoughts, the teacher is somewhat similar to Sima Shi, they only have their own clan in their minds, and they are not so afraid of death.

Cao Chao asked seriously: "I am in charge of the etiquette law too often, why do you do such a thing that ignores the etiquette law?" ”

Wang Xiang immediately burst into tears, and his expression was more real than the previous two.

"The old minister is ashamed of His Majesty's high hopes, please punish Your Majesty!!"

Cao Chao shook his head, "Taichang is my teacher, and I don't want to remove him from his official title with a combination of swords and soldiers!" ”

Well??

At this moment, everyone was a little surprised.

The first two punishments were so heavy, for Wang Xiang, they lifted the plank high and fell gently?

What does that mean?

Wang Xiang was also surprised, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly thanked the emperor, and at the same time cried even more guilty.

Zhong Hui frowned, suddenly remembered something, and laughed again.

Zhong Yu was standing in front of his younger brother at this moment, with a straight face and not saying a word.

Finally, it was Zheng Chong.

Zheng Chong took a deep breath and kowtowed to Cao Chao, "The old minister pleads guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

As the mastermind, Zheng Chong admits that he has no friendship with the emperor, and this time, even if it is not a clan punishment, I am afraid that he will inevitably shave his hair.

At his age, do you still have to suffer such humiliation?

Zheng Chong's eyes were full of despair.

Cao Chao shook his head, "Sikong Gong, I know that you are coerced by a traitor, and I am still coerced by a traitor, and I can't take care of myself, so how can I pursue the crimes of the people who are also coerced?" ”

"I forgive you for your sins, please get up."

Zheng Chong's eyes widened, he had thought about many results, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

If you are the mastermind, will you be pardoned like this?

Shouldn't we be intimidating the ministers?

The ministers were also a little confused about this punishment, but for some reason, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Zheng Gong can be pardoned, so those of us who are innocent people who are coerced in should not suffer any punishment, right?

Zheng Chong trembled and bowed to Cao Chao, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Of all these people, his words are probably the most sincere.

Cao Chao didn't move Zheng Chong, this is because he still has his own considerations, Zheng Chong can come in another big role in the future, like Wang Xiang, there is still residual value.

Zheng Chong's attainments in the classics can play a great role in the future.

In just a few words, the temple of Great Wei has changed.

The three big men who were once dominant, all of them were wiped out, and Zheng Chong, the only remaining minister of the three public ranks, was still an old man who had no quarrel with the world.

The ministers looked at the emperor uneasily, and they didn't know what would happen to them.

Cao Chao looked at the ministers.

"The mastermind of Shang Shutai, I have already pronounced the verdict, and the rest of the accomplices will be screened by the court captain and other ministers."

"Today, the three dukes have no leader, the general died of illness, and I want to be in power."

Cao Chao first looked at Zheng Chong, "Sikong Gong, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise and pro-government!"

Zheng Chong hurriedly opened his mouth to agree, and Cao Chao looked at Wang Xiang, "Teacher, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty should be in charge!"

"King Yan, you are my elder, what do you think?"

Cao Yu replied without thinking: "Your Majesty should be in charge!" ”

Cao Chao finally looked at the ministers, "What do you think?!" ”

"Ministers and others please ask Your Majesty to govern in person!!"

Wang Jing was the first to open his mouth, and after him, the ministers bowed one after another, all asking Cao Chao to pro-government.

Cao Chao laughed, and then stepped off the chariot and walked into the Zhaoyang Palace.

Soon, he walked out with the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Guo looked at the dark ministers outside excitedly, her eyes were full of excitement, and she was almost crying with excitement.

Cao Chao said softly: "Mother, the traitors have all been dealt with by me, now that Shangshutai has no owner, the general is sick and dead, and the ministers are all seeking my own government, what do you think?" ”

Empress Dowager Guo looked at the scene in front of her and stretched out her hand to hold his hand, "Although my son is young, he is talented and intelligent, and he is extremely filial to me, if you are not pro-government, who can govern the world of Great Wei?" ”

She looked at the ministers, "Pass on my edict!" From now on, my son will be in charge of the government, and the ministers should do their best to assist! Do not be disobedient and unfaithful!! ”

"Only !!"
