"Mother, look at this person."

Cao Chao smiled and sat beside Empress Dowager Guo, pointing to Sima Zhao, who was kneeling in front of the two of them.

Empress Dowager Guo looked at Sima Zhao who was sitting below in disbelief, leaned back a little uneasily, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.

The scorching sun is shining, and it is the time when Empress Dowager Guo begins to worry.

The Yu Wei of the Sima family is still there, even if Sima Zhao is kneeling in front of the two of them with his head down at the moment, but the Empress Dowager Guo still feels very uneasy.

Not only the Empress Dowager Guo, but also the ministers and many generals actually had a certain awe of them.

People who dare to beat Sima Zhao like Cheng Ji are in the minority after all.

But it is not surprising that Cheng Ji can do such a thing.

He has always claimed that he and Wen Yang are the two tiger generals under the emperor's command.

Will it be or not, Cao Chao is not sure, but the tiger is enough of a tiger, one dares to stab the emperor to death, and the other dares to scare the general to death in the middle of the night.

Since Sima Yi began, their family's prestige has been continuously improved, this prestige is intangible, and it is manifested in concrete ways, that it is such a down-and-out Sima Zhao, who can deter everyone and make outsiders dare not humiliate him easily.

Cao Chao really wanted to conduct a reckoning with the historical events after Cao Rui and comment on the behavior of Cao Shuang, Sima Yi, Sima Shi and others.

After Sima Yi, Cao Shuang was defined as a powerful minister, and those who opposed Sima Yi were defined as traitors, such as Wang Ling and others, and Sima Shi still had the behavior of abolishing the establishment, as well as Xiahou Xuan Li Feng and others who were beaten by him as anti-thieves.

But for now, these things are not so easy to say.

has to take it step by step, which involves a lot of issues, if you want to rehabilitate Cao Shuang and think that Sima Yi's behavior is a rebellion, then what should the ministers who followed Sima Yi to crusade against Cao Shuang do?

These ministers are the main force of today's temple.

If Sima Shi's behavior is defined as rebellion, then what should Cao Chao do?

King Qi is still alive, but Cao Chao is supported by this anti-thief Sima Shi, so is he going to give up his position to Cao Fang, the king of Qi?

Anyway, there are a lot of things to pay attention to, and there are countless people involved.

Even if you want to handle it, you have to wait for the ministers who participated in Cao Shuang's affairs to leave, and Cao Chao's position is stable enough that no one dares to challenge him before handling this matter.

Cao Chao thought a lot at this moment, he looked at the Queen Mother on the side, smiled and comforted: "Mother, I have been out for the past few days just to bring General Wei back to Luoyang." ”

Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Sima Zhao with some horror, and asked in a low voice, "My son, what are you?"

Cao Chao said with a smile: "Mother don't worry, General Wei has done a lot of wrong things in the past, and failed to inherit the general's legacy. ”

Empress Dowager Guo was a little unable to understand what Cao Chao meant.

What happened to the two of them?

Are they teamed up? Or is Sima Zhao obedient?

With Empress Dowager Guo's political cultivation, she can't see through the current situation at all, let alone understand the relationship between the two sides.

Cao Chao was not surprised by this, he said seriously: "Mother, in the future, you don't have to worry about the domestic situation, the territory of Great Wei can be regarded as peaceful, and all you have to worry about is foreign enemies." ”

Empress Dowager Guo still didn't dare to speak, until a close attendant left here with Sima Zhao, and she couldn't help asking: "My son, did you defeat Sima Zhao?" ”

"I have defeated the 100,000 army under his command, and now, the entire army of Hebei has been owned by me, Yanghu went to Hebei to command the army, and Yin Damu came to replace Yanghu and commanded the guards in the palace."

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes widened, "100,000 troops"

"Mother, I've been busy with these things these days, so I haven't been able to come to visit, so my mother shouldn't care, right?"

Empress Dowager Guo hurriedly shook her head, "My son is busy with big things, how can I care, my son is really serious"

She also wanted to praise Cao Chao, but after holding back for a long time, she didn't know what to praise him.

Cao Chao took her hand and said seriously: "Mother, I was originally your son, and I really didn't dare to take credit for doing these things for my mother." ”

"It's just that the world is gradually calming down, and I haven't held a ceremony for succession, if it's in the court, I don't even dare to call my mother really uneasy."

Empress Dowager Guo looked at him blankly, her eyes full of intelligence.

Cao Chao took a deep breath and had no choice but to say, "Mother, is this heir ceremony time to be held?" ”

"Ah, yes, this matter is going to be handled, and I will issue an edict!"

Cao Chao pursed his lips and was speechless for a long time

Zhang Hua took Sima Zhao into the car and walked towards the emperor's newly granted mansion.

Sima Zhao sat in the carriage, his face cloudy.

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "General Wei, Your Majesty knows your merits, and specially selected the most luxurious mansion in Luoyang to give it to you, and the plaque is all personally written by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has specially arranged five hundred armor soldiers for you, so that they can protect you and take care of you, just like the original story of Zanhou." ”

Zhang Hua's words are very good, such as the story of the Marquis, which refers to the fact that Liu Bang once waved his hand and arranged 500 armor soldiers for Xiao He to wait for his dispatch.

Of course, the five hundred armor soldiers arranged by Cao Chao are not waiting to be sent, what are they here for, Sima Zhao knows best in his heart.

At this moment, Sima Zhao finally couldn't bear him, he raised his head and asked, "My father and brother have contributed to Sheji, and I have also quelled the rebellion for the temple, why is this so?" ”

Zhang Hua was surprised.

"Don't you think Your Majesty's reward is not enough?"

"It is because of your merits that Your Majesty has the reward you have now, the gift of the king, if you don't thank you, how can you be dissatisfied?"

Zhang Hua's expression gradually became serious.

Sima Zhao sneered, but did not refute him.

The mansion arranged by the emperor for Sima Zhao is not far from the palace, it is a separate mansion, there are no dwellings around, and the scale is indeed not small, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate these five hundred armor soldiers.

When Sima Zhao stepped out of the carriage, a group of officials stood at the door with a smile, waiting for Sima Zhao's arrival.

These people were all arranged by the emperor to take care of Sima Zhao.

Just like when Sima Zhao sent someone to take care of Cao Chao.

Their attitude towards Sima Zhao was extremely respectful, and Zhang Hua earnestly instructed, "Take care of General Wei, don't let him work too hard." ”

Several of the attendants took orders.

Zhang Hua sent Sima Zhao all the way into this brand-new mansion, which could not be said to be too luxurious, but it was not shabby, and there were guarded soldiers everywhere, patrolling back and forth.

Sima Zhao was sent all the way to the innermost inner room.

Zhang Hua said to Sima Zhao at this time: "General Wei, Your Majesty has great respect for you, and this time you will give away the mansion, the soldiers, the officials, and all kinds of rewards, you should keep in mind Your Majesty's kindness." ”

"Don't cause any more trouble for yourself."

"At the beginning, many people persuaded Your Majesty that you should be allowed to die on the battlefield and return with a horse leather wrapping, but Your Majesty never listened to your past merits."

"But even if you are a tolerant person like Your Majesty, you will not tolerate it again and again, you are so self-conscious!"

Sima Zhao didn't speak, and Zhang Hua turned around and left here.

Sima Zhao sat alone in the inner room, he raised his head and saw several officials in front of him.

"Go and get my brother."

The official at the head saluted with a smile and said, "General Wei, you are too tired these days, so let's rest in the house for the time being." ”

Sima Zhao was furious, "Do you want to imprison me here?!" ”

"General Wei! Why?! ”

"Your Majesty is worried about your condition, please rest in the mansion with peace of mind, Your Majesty will definitely arrange for you to meet your family, perhaps, in a few days, your family will also come here to accompany you."

Sima Zhao stared at the person in front of him, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he wanted to attack, but he held back his anger.

He took a deep breath and made himself look a little gentler.

"This gentleman, can you pass a word to the people on my behalf?"

"You don't have to worry, your situation, your people are all aware of it, they won't worry."

Sima Zhao smiled and nodded, "It's the best, I don't have any other thoughts, I just don't want them to worry." ”

He looked at the official in front of him.

The man was very young, looking to be in his early twenties, and he was looking at himself deeply.

Sima Zhao was very aggrieved in his heart, in the past few days, he had suffered humiliation that he had never suffered in his life, he was punched and kicked, and the dignity of the dignified general was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

If he hadn't cared about the clan, he would have fought to the death with Cao Chao a long time ago.

Looking at the current situation, Cao Chao will not kill himself, he has to find a way to regain his freedom.

Sima Zhao looked at the descendant in front of him again, and asked with a smile, "I don't know the name of the gentleman?" ”

"Li Touch meets General Wei."

Sima Zhao nodded, and said with a smile: "I think the gentleman is a little familiar, I don't know if he is a child of the family?" Maybe it has something to do with my family! ”

Li Touch said coldly: "The general does have an old relationship with my family. ”

"My grandfather's name is Yanfeng, my father's name is Yantao, and my mother is Princess Qi."

"Li Feng"

The smile on Sima Zhao's face immediately froze.

After Li Feng was beaten to death by Sima Shi with a knife handle, his clan was killed, and his son Li Tao was beheaded together, and Li Tao's wife was Cao Rui's daughter, Princess Qi, who protected her and Li Tao's three sons.

The person in front of him is Li Tao's eldest son and Li Feng's eldest grandson.

Sima Zhao was dumbfounded.

The good news is that they are indeed old acquaintances.

The bad news is the kind of acquaintance that exterminates the race.

Sima Zhao muttered: "When your grandfather rebelled, I also pleaded for him."

"I see."

"That's really thanks to the great kindness of the general."

"I'll repay you."
