"You're here!"

Empress Dowager Guo looked at the three fellow clansmen who walked in with a smile, and finally showed a relieved look on her face.

These days, the emperor has become more and more contemptuous of himself.

The number of times I came to visit was getting less and less, I came once a day, and after talking for less than half an hour, I found a reason to say something important and left Zhaoyang Hall in a hurry.

It's not that I haven't seen Emperor Ming and King Qi govern the world, how can they be as busy as he said?

It's clear that I don't want to stay by my side.

At the beginning, he defeated Sima Shi for him and subdued the ministers, but now that he is in power, he began to snub himself, if he continues like this, will he still have himself in his eyes in the future?

Empress Dowager Guo also didn't like these fellow clansmen, after all, when she wanted to pull them to deal with Sima Shi, they were on Sima Shi's side.

However, now, in order to prevent the emperor from despising herself, she can only find these people to come to Zhaoyang Palace.

She knows that Cao Chao doesn't like these people, she just wants to show the emperor, if she despises herself again, then she will reuse these people, let you go back to the past, and you may not be able to see me when the time comes!

And the faces of the three people who walked into Zhaoyang Hall were different.

Guo Li and Guo Zhi glanced at each other.

As an excellent Wei and Jin family, they have always been very good at judging the situation.

They have a very flexible stance and can change it at any time for their own benefit.

At the same time, they will wholeheartedly follow the holy king who governs the world, well, whoever is beneficial to them is the holy king.

In the past, the holy king was Sima Shi, and they followed Sima Shi to suppress the Queen Mother.

And today's holy king is Cao Chao.

Cao Chao has just become pro-government, but judging from the Sili area, his position is already unshakable.

Chen Qian and Zheng Qian were both on the emperor's side, and they dealt a great blow to the officials of the temple in a short period of time.

And the Chinese army was almost all on the side of the emperor.

If they were like Xun Yi and Cui Zan, they would be able to raise some objections to the emperor's words, and they would still dare to compete with the emperor in secret.

Of course, when they regain their strength in the future, it is not ruled out that they will send a letter to a group of ministers again, as they did with Sima Shi, asking the emperor to accept benevolent government.

But no matter what the situation is, it has nothing to do with the three people of the Guo family.

Their current situation is not too much to say that they are lost dogs.

After all their officials were deposed, the ministers began to liquidate them, and the sons of the Guo family fell one after another, and quickly declined at an incredible speed.

Of course, no matter how decaying they are, they are also a big family, and they have no worries about food and clothing.

It's just that after experiencing the proudest years of their lives, they seem to be a little reluctant to let them stay at home and live the life of a rich man.

What's more, Guo Zhang came to them from time to time, vaguely thinking of cooperating with them.

Guo Li immediately became interested and wanted to meet the Queen Mother.

When he received the edict, he was in high spirits again, called Guo Zhang, and went to meet the Queen Mother.

But when he saw Chengji, Guo Li felt that something was wrong.

He decisively chose to admit his cowardice and went to meet His Majesty the Emperor in time.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother of the past, and the emperor is no longer the original emperor.

His cold face and the murderous intent when he looked at him all reminded Guo Li of Sima Shi inexplicably, and Guo Zhang, who was proud in front of him, became so well-behaved, which gave Guo Li a great shock.

Fortunately, the emperor did not want to kill them.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, you can be an official if you want to, depending on your performance.

So what else can they choose?

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

The three of them will bow together.

Empress Dowager Guo slightly put away the smile on her face and said, "You made a big mistake at the beginning, and I shouldn't have summoned you in the first place. ”

"It's just that I recently heard that you are not doing well, so I gave you a chance to mend your ways."

Empress Dowager Guo raised her head, waiting for these people to bow down to her in fear.

Since defeating Sima Shi, Empress Dowager Guo's whole person seems to be divided.

When I first woke up, I was very confident, and I remembered how I cleaned up Sima Shi.

At noon, he began to worry again, feeling that Cao Chao had neglected him a little.

In the afternoon, I started to be afraid, would I be useless?

Before going to bed, I began to think of the appearance of the ministers bowing to me, and I felt that I would not be useless.

That's how her day went.

At present, Empress Dowager Guo is still at a time when these two emotions are at a time of self-confidence and worry.

The appearance of the Manchu courtiers when they saluted him is still vivid, and Empress Dowager Guo needs this feeling of respect.

But she waited for a while, but she didn't hear the congratulations of these people.

Empress Dowager Guo was a little stunned and looked at the three of them again.

Guo Li and Guo Zhi were silent, only Guo Jian was a little unbearable, and he said: "Queen Mother"

"We have big mistakes, we all know our mistakes, and we are willing to accept punishment, you don't have to worry about it."

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes widened, how could there be something wrong with this progress?

I've given you a chance to mend your ways, why don't you want to accept it??

Do you really think that such an opportunity can be available at any time?

She was very angry and asked, "What, are you trying to despise me?!" ”

Guo Zhi cleared his throat and said seriously: "Don't dare, Queen Mother, it's just that we made a big mistake in the past, and following the general is not good for Your Majesty, we know our mistakes very well, and we don't have any dissatisfaction with what happened now." ”

"So what are you guys doing here?!"

"The Queen Mother summoned her, how dare she not come?"

When Empress Dowager Guo heard this answer, she was furious, "Do you really think I'm a bully?!" There is only one such opportunity, if you should not do it today, you will beg me to forgive me in the future, and I will never look at you more! ”

Guo Li and Guo Zhi continued to be silent.

Whether or not this is a change is not up to you now.

If the Queen Mother suddenly canonized them now, then they would be afraid, and the official title given by the Queen Mother is now a talisman

They didn't want to provoke the emperor.

The person who can make them "reformed" is in the Taiji Palace, not in the Zhaoyang Palace.

Seeing that they were still silent, the anger in Empress Dowager Guo's heart also reached the extreme, she wanted to blow these people away now, but, for some reason, she resisted this impulse.

"I'll give you one last chance"

Guo Zhi finally couldn't help it.

He raised his head and said seriously: "Queen Mother, Emperor Wen said at the beginning: the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

"We made a big mistake and were deposed by Your Majesty, we are convinced, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and you are really the holy king who governs the world, as the queen mother, you should sit in the harem, so that Your Majesty has no worries, and can govern the world with peace of mind, so you will inevitably become a virtuous queen mother."

"But now that you have summoned us to forgive our sins and to make us rulers again, are you not despising the holy king of today?"

"Your Majesty is extremely respectful to you, and these people are watching you."

"He has to come to see you every day, the tributes from all over the world, the first to bring to you to enjoy, I heard that Wei Wei Xin Chang gave His Majesty a piece of peerless jade, His Majesty sent this thing to you on the same day, this matter spread throughout Luoyang, everyone was moved by His Majesty's filial piety."

"Even those of us are ashamed of our lack of respect for His Majesty in the past, and we dare not go to see him."

"At the beginning, the traitor was powerful and wanted to be unfavorable to you, but it was His Majesty who turned the tide and punished the traitor."

"There is a son like this, the Queen Mother should be extremely pleased."

"Now, why are you doing such a thing behind your Majesty's back?!"

Guo Zhi's tone became faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he wanted people outside the door to hear clearly.

At this moment, he seemed to have changed back to the original Sima Shi period, and loudly reprimanded the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was dumbfounded.

She'd heard that.

At the beginning, Sima Shi said that he would abolish the establishment and let himself issue an edict.

Guo Zhi once said almost the same thing, "With this loyal minister, what are you worried about?" It should be gratifying! ”

The same thing happened again in front of Empress Dowager Guo.

Empress Dowager Guo just pointed at Guo Zhi in front of her, speechless.

Why do you dare to do this to me?!

I defeated Sima Shi!

All the ministers bow down before me!

You!!

Empress Dowager Guo screamed: "Come on, take down this thief!" ”

Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the temple and surrounded the three men.

Guo Zhi was not afraid, he said seriously: "What I said is the truth, the Queen Mother is going to kill me because of this, and I will never change my words!" ”

"Bang me out! Bang out!! ”

The Queen Mother shouted, and the armorers pushed the three men out of the place.

After the three of them left, Empress Dowager Guo slowly sat back in her place, she was trembling all over, and she didn't know if it was because of fear or anger.

How dare they not be afraid of me?

Obviously, the ministers have already bowed down in front of me!

Empress Dowager Guo suddenly looked at Guo's husband on the side, and shouted angrily: "Go and call Xun Yi, Cui Zan, and Guo Zhang to me, and let them come to Zhaoyang Hall to meet me now!" ”

Guo's husband hurriedly took the order and hurriedly walked out of here.

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This queen mother, who has never seen herself clearly, summoned the people of the Guo family just now, and now she is going to summon the important ministers of Shangshutai.

The ministers of Shangshutai are crazy to come to see the Queen Mother together at this time.

Of course, Guo's husband has no right to refuse, since the Queen Mother has given an order, then it is up to him to carry it out.

Anyway, His Majesty told himself a long time ago, just do it.

Sure enough, things were as Guo's husband expected, and when they learned that the Queen Mother had summoned them, the three ministers simply refused.

Xun Yi first asked if the emperor was in Zhaoyang Palace, and when he learned that he was not there, he immediately refused, Cui Zan didn't meet in person at all, and Guo Zhang, almost annoyed and angry, said no.

When Guo's husband brought the news to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's face was full of disbelief.

How so?
