"Anshi!!"

Cao Chao stood in the car and waved his hand with a smile.

Sima Yan followed his younger brother Sima You to stand in front of the General's Mansion at this moment, respectfully waiting for the emperor to come.

Seeing Cao Chao's arrival, Sima Yan's eyes lit up, and he was about to shout, but he remembered his mother's instructions, put away his smile, and bowed to him.

"What is Nexperia doing?"

Cao Chao hurriedly helped him up, with some consternation in his eyes.

Sima Yan wanted to speak and stopped, his face was a little complicated, and his eyes were full of loneliness.

Sima You on the side lowered his head even more, not daring to look at Cao Chao at all.

Cao Chao sighed, this day has come.

He knew in his heart that this was probably Wang Yuanji temporarily making up for Sima Yan, allowing him to see a lot of things that he had never seen clearly before.

For example, their family's plans over the years, their family's real relationship with the emperor, and so on.

Sima Yan has not participated in political affairs until now, and Sima Zhao has never let him participate in the family's planning, just as Sima Shi is protecting Sima Zhao's reputation, Sima Zhao is also protecting Sima Yan's reputation.

But in the current situation, Sima Zhao is not in Luoyang, and the temple has suffered such a drastic change, Wang Yuanji is probably worried that Sima Yan will do something stupid, so he popularized politics for him in time.

Sima Yan was silent, not daring to say anything more to Cao Chao.

"Isn't Anshi not a friend anymore?"

Sima Yan shook his head, "That's not the case. ”

Sima You was a little anxious at the moment, and he hurriedly said: "The eldest brother is the best with His Majesty, but he has been in poor health for the past few days. ”

Cao Chao looked at Sima You, smiled, didn't say anything, and pointed to the carriage behind him, "Those carriages are full of adults, you can go and see them." ”

Sima You didn't dare to disobey and hurried there.

Cao Chao took Sima Yan's hand and walked into the general's mansion together.

"In this Great General's Mansion, is it your mother who is in charge now?"

"Hmm."

"Then go to your mother first, I have a lot to say to him."

Cao Chao walked on the road with Sima Yan, but the original close friend did not speak at the moment, as if within a few days, the relationship between the two was estranged.

The soldiers followed Cao Chao into the mansion, and Cheng Ji and the others followed behind them, looking around vigilantly.

They walked all the way to the backyard, Cao Chao ordered the rest of the people to guard the door, and he followed Sima Yan into the courtyard.

Wang Yuanji was sitting here, she had a straight face, her face was very solemn, and after Cao Chao walked in, she stared at Cao Chao directly.

Cao Chao saluted and sat down beside her.

"Please don't worry, I have already brought all the generals and colonels of the Chinese army, and from today onwards, they can stay in this mansion and be by your side."

"They didn't suffer much, and they all gained a lot of weight."

Cao Chao said with a smile.

Wang Yuanji narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty's strategy is extraordinary, and they are not wronged when they lose to you." ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "We have never been hostile, so why win or lose?" ”

"I never wanted to be hostile to anyone, I just wanted to govern the world so that the world would not suffer."

Cao Chao said calmly: "I will not embarrass them, nor will I embarrass you, let alone General Wei." ”

"There are many enemies in the future of Great Wei, in addition to those deep-rooted families, there are more disasters, in times of crisis, we should join forces to deal with strong enemies together."

Wang Yuanji nodded, "Your Majesty is right. ”

Cao Chao laughed, for some reason, whenever he told the truth, these people always didn't believe it, on the contrary, if he told a lie, they would believe it.

There are many things to fight in the future, man-made disasters are of course terrible, but natural disasters should not be taken lightly, plagues, snow disasters, droughts, these disasters will take turns, if you are not prepared in time, this will bring great harm to the world.

Wang Yuanji glanced at Sima Yan and said, "Yan, you go out first." ”

Sima Yan nodded, turned around and left the inner room.

Cao Chao looked at Sima Yan's dejected back and muttered: "Madame shouldn't tell him so many things, he has always wanted to be a martial artist and govern the world well." ”

Wang Yuanji opened his mouth and said: "If you hide it from him again, I am afraid that he will become a knife in the hands of His Majesty and use it against his own father." ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "Madame is wrong. ”

"What? Your Majesty dares to say that he has no such thoughts? ”

Cao Chao's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Not really."

"If you want to deal with Sima Zhao, why do you need to be so cumbersome?"

"At the beginning, I was alone, weak in strength, and dared to compete with the general, but now that I have become a wing, and the fierce generals under my command are virtuous, will I still be afraid of Sima Zhao?!"

Cao Chao suddenly asked.

His face was fierce, his eyes were sharp, and there was no longer the usual gentleness.

Wang Yuanji's face was pale, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Wang Yuanji, who was obviously afraid, Cao Chao once again put away the anger on his face and re-revealed that gentle smile.

"Madam, I came here this time to join forces with General Wei."

"I am not afraid of General Wei, but I don't want to go to war rashly, I will let Sima You inherit his father's title, and I will also keep An Shi by his side, so that he can grow into a real martial marquis, and your two sons will not suffer."

"General Wei has no chance of winning, if he can wake up in time and endure the position of marquis, I will not kill him, and I will reuse the rest of the Sima family."

"If General Wei doesn't obey this time, I will fight to defeat both, and I will also destroy the entire Sima family, and there will be no chickens and dogs."

Cao Chao said seriously.

Wang Yuanji didn't dare to interject at all, even when she learned that the emperor had succeeded, she was still a little dissatisfied with Cao Chao in her heart, and she still had the appearance of the gentle emperor in her mind, but when Cao Chao revealed her hideous side, Wang Yuanji suddenly didn't dare to say more.

What he is facing at the moment is the real power in Luoyang.

If he wanted to, he could slaughter the entire Great General's Mansion to the ground at any time.

Wang Yuanji asked, "What does Your Majesty want me to do?" ”

"Please come forward to appease the Sima family in Luoyang, so that they don't have the idea of resisting and do their own things with peace of mind."

"As for General Wei, maybe An Shi will need to go there in person in the future and tell him what happened."

Wang Yuanji didn't dare to say more, and fell silent again.

"Please think about this matter, I am the son-in-law of the general, and naturally I will not do anything to my family, all I want is to get those who followed the general in the past, Du Pre, Sima Wang, Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Hu Fen"

"It's a shame to let these people die in the civil war."

"And your father, he obviously has the talent of the three dukes, and there are still vacancies in the position of the three dukes in the temple today, and the first thing I thought of was him."

"General Wei is impatient and will not bow to me easily, but you are a reasonable person, and you should know the stakes."

Cao Chao got up at this time, "Please think about it again, Madame." ”

He didn't wait for Wang Yuanji to answer, turned around and left the inner room, Sima Yan was standing outside the door waiting, and when he saw Cao Chao come out, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes again.

Cao Chao motioned for him to follow, and the two of them walked around the General's Mansion.

"Anshi, I know exactly what you're thinking."

"When I first met you, I actually wanted to kill you."

Sima Yan shuddered.

Cao Chao continued: "Because I feel that my position is not guaranteed, and the person who is most likely to inherit the throne in the future is you, I want to do something to you, not because of anger, but because I feel that you have no talent and will ruin the world." ”

"However, after associating with you, I found out that you are completely different from your father and ancestor."

"You have a generous personality, you are kind to people, you are sincere, you know right from wrong, you are simple and kind, I think you are a very good friend."

"So, I changed my mind and began to teach you some principles of governance, just thinking that if I die, you can inherit my ambition and govern the world for me."

"I don't know what you think now, but here in my case, you are my best friend, and you will not change until death."

Cao Chao said, looking at Sima Yan on the side.

Sima Yan's eyes were a little moist, but he didn't speak.

"Anshi, the current situation is still unclear, after a while, I will send you away and let you go to your father's side."

"At that point, you can choose for yourself."

"Your Majesty."

Sima Yan suddenly opened his mouth.

He asked, "Did you appoint me as a military commander in order to use me to appease my mother and the clansmen of the Sima family?" ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "I am going to use your brother to appease your mother and your people. ”

"I named you a military advisor so that I can take you with me when I come to Chang'an in person in the future and crusade against Shu."

"I want you to be my martial marquis, and I want to hand over the major affairs of unifying the world to you in the future."

Sima Yan looked blankly into the distance and didn't speak for a long time.

"If my mother hadn't told me this, would I never have known?"

"Of course not, as you get older, one day, you will understand a lot of things, and you will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment."

"However, what others tell you is not as good as what you have figured it out yourself."

"Speaking of which, your mother knows me far less well than you do."

"She may think that I have been using you all along, and that I will want to use you against your father and against other people in the future."

"But only you know if I've been taking advantage of you all along."

Sima Yan lowered his head and did not speak.

Cao Chao stretched out his hand again and touched his hair, "An Shi, I have to go first, there are still many things in the temple, you just stay here first, continue to watch your mother, don't let others in and out." ”

"The defense here is still up to you."

"Don't forget the East Hall Banquet in two days."

"When the time comes, I will wait for you in the East Hall."

"Don't be late."

Cao Chao turned around and left here, Sima Yan stood in place, looking blankly at the emperor walking away in the distance, silent.
