Luoyang, southern suburbs.

The ministers all gathered here at this moment and put on the ceremonial clothes of the sacrifice.

There are armor soldiers stationed inside and outside, and the momentum is huge.

One man was holding a paperwork and was chanting something loudly.

This person is none other than Wang Su.

Wang Su had a straight face at the moment, loudly telling the truth of etiquette, and he began to talk about the merits of Emperor Ming, saying that until now, everyone in the world will not forget.

Immediately, he changed his words and began to talk about King Qi.

Emperor Ming had no queen, and he took the king of Qi as his son, originally wanting him to inherit the great cause of his ancestors and support Sheji, but after he ascended the throne, he did commit many crimes.

Wang Su began to talk about the edict of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager thought that this son was rude and immoral and could not inherit the career of Emperor Ming, so she abolished him.

These things seem to be nonsense, but in fact they are very important, and the ministers are also listening very seriously, because there are many things involved, and even their interests and future are related.

This sacrifice, after telling about the exploits of Emperor Ming, immediately began to criticize the lack of virtue of King Qi.

And the subsequent reason was because the king of Qi was unfilial and rude to the queen mother.

Wang Su's words are saying that the King of Qi was abolished by the Queen Mother, and the reason for the abolition has nothing to do with Xiahou Xuan, Li Feng and others.

There was no mention of Sima Shi in these words, nor did it mention Xiahou Xuan, Li Feng and others.

However, each word is an indication of the emperor's attitude towards them.

In other words, from today on, Sima Shi can no longer be regarded as a powerful minister who abolished the establishment, because His Majesty said that the matter of the abolition has nothing to do with him, but the behavior of the Queen Mother.

In addition, there is no need to worry about whether the rehabilitation of Xiahou Xuan will affect the legitimacy of the emperor.

Because the emperor was deposed, it is no longer the same thing as Xiahou Xuan's rebellion.

Wang Su was still very capable, and he only used a few words to complete the emperor's orders.

In the end, that is, the crucial matter of the emperor's accession to the throne, Wang Su began to talk about the brotherhood between Cao Chao's father and Cao Rong.

Wang Su said that Emperor Ming doted on his younger brother very much, and treated his younger brother's child as his own, and said to his younger brother many times, I have no son, can you pass your son to me?

The Empress Dowager knew about this and knew the emperor's eloquence, benevolence, righteousness and morality, so she called him to the temple and let him inherit the career of Emperor Ming and become the son of Emperor Ming.

This time, it was to solve the matter of the emperor's ascension, and the emperor's ascension to the throne was also because the Queen Mother and Emperor Ming had nothing to do with Sima Shi.

Cao Chao wore a crown robe, stood on the highest place, and listened to Wang Su's preaching.

Wang Su was temporarily arrested by Cao Chao to be too often for himself.

Don't think that this ceremonial official is very good, especially this kind of sacrificial activity that involves a lot of issues, or a name correction activity, which is not something that ordinary ministers can do.

Cao Chao considered many people successively, but in the end, he found that these people lacked certain abilities.

So, he entangled Wang Su again and asked Wang Su to make a move.

Where can Wang Su object?

As a result, he could only personally go out and serve as the temporary Taichang to solve this matter for the emperor.

Wang Su was also thinking at the moment: If you still have a little conscience, help me solve the matter of stealing knowledge after the ceremony!

Cao Chao immediately led the emperor to sacrifice his father, Emperor Zuming of the Great Wei Dynasty, and then sacrificed to his father, Emperor Wen.

The whole ceremony took one day.

When Cao Chao returned to the Taiji Hall again, he was almost exhausted.

The Queen Mother is very happy, she hasn't been out for a long time, this time it's rare to go out, and she took an important position in the event, accepted the visit of the ministers, and is still happy at the moment.

In addition to this sacrifice, there is also Zheng Xiaotong's granddaughter.

She also entered the palace justifiably and became a member of Cao Chao's harem group.

Pei Xiu once told Cao Chao that the emperor had no selfish affairs.

This sentence is not groundless, the emperor's family affairs are all for the ministers to discuss.

Let's just say that the most excessive, if Cao Chao only pampered one lady and didn't see the rest, the ministers would advise and ask the emperor to treat everyone equally and keep more heirs.

Regarding Zheng Xiaotong's granddaughter's entry into the palace, the ministers did not object too much, after all, Zheng Xiaotong's reputation was placed here, and only a few people such as Guo Zhang felt a little dissatisfied.

Tai Chi Hall, West Hall.

Cao Chao sat on the top seat and looked at the new lady in front of him.

Zheng Xian stood respectfully in front of Cao Chao at the moment, looking honest.

In fact, it is not in line with etiquette to meet at this moment.

However, etiquette was no longer so important in the Wei and Jin dynasties, Cao Chao said that he wanted to see his wife, and the attendants sent him directly, without any idea of admonishing him.

Cao Chao pointed to the side and said seriously, "Please sit down." ”

Zheng Xian cautiously sat beside Cao Chao.

Cao Chao nodded, Zheng Xian's performance, he was still quite satisfied.

Dignified and elegant, quiet and kind, she is worthy of being the granddaughter of Zheng Gong, and she is indeed a lady.

He opened his mouth and said, "What is your name?" ”

"Xian."

"Hmm, Zheng Xian? There are some things I want to say to you. ”

Cao Chao cleared his throat, and then said gently: "From today on, we will be husband and wife, in the future, you remember to go to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother may not like you very much." ”

"But you can't be rude to her."

"Also, there is a concubine in the palace, called Sima Yu, she is a very good person, she has a child, she is also very well-behaved, you can be so close to her"

Cao Chao explained so.

Zheng Xian suddenly raised her head, "Your Majesty, but I look ugly?" Don't you like it? ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, he looked at the youthful beauty in front of him, and shook his head, "That's not the case." ”

"Then why does Your Majesty have to be so angry?"

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty doesn't greet me either, it's a big deal in the harem, Your Majesty doesn't treat me as a wife, but as a subordinate."

"Why is that?"

Cao Chao laughed, "When you and I meet for the first time, we will naturally have a relationship, and it will not be like this in the future." ”

Cao Xian's attitude is very gentle, and his face is always full of smiles, but Zheng Xian can't see any closeness in his eyes.

Zheng Xian didn't mean that she wanted to see love in Cao Chao's eyes.

She didn't expect the emperor to like her at first sight.

It's just that she can't see any emotion in the emperor's eyes, whether it's closeness, disgust, appreciation, or anything else.

When he looked at himself, his eyes were too calm, and his attitude was almost no different from when he faced his eldest father, his attitude seemed to be affectionate, but in fact it was cold.

Zheng Xian really didn't understand why a boy who was two years younger than herself would look like this.

Cao Chao said at this moment: "I have other things to do here, you can go to Sima Yu first and familiarize yourself with the situation in the temple." ”

Zheng Xian didn't say anything more, got up and left here.

Zheng Xian had a lot of expectations for this first encounter, but at this moment, she was very disappointed and disappointed.

She didn't like this kind of respect, it was too fake.

When she came to Sima Yu, Sima Yu welcomed her arrival, Sima Yu's state was much better, and the whole person was no longer the skinny appearance.

Guo Ping looked at this sister curiously, and didn't dare to step forward to speak.

Sima Yu took the initiative to get up and salute, and even wanted her to sit on the top seat.

Sima Yu didn't have the idea of jealousy or jealousy at all, because she had no contact with the emperor, the emperor was very polite to her, Sima Yu would occasionally send some meals to the emperor, and the emperor would occasionally come to see the children, and other than that, there was nothing else.

Sima Yu treats Cao Chao as a benefactor, and in her eyes, Zheng Xian is probably a good match for Cao Chao.

When Zheng Xian came to find Sima Yu, she had already made a lot of preparations in her heart, and her mind was full of rumors about those palace fights.

But when she saw Sima Yu, who had a kind face and no hostility at all, she was a little shocked in her heart.

Sima Yu asked Guo Ping to go out to play, but she began to explain the matters in the harem to Zheng Xian.

Zheng Xian listened carefully to what she said.

"Is Your Majesty doing the same to you?"

"Huh?"

"Is Your Majesty so indifferent to you?"

Hearing Zheng Xian's inquiry, Sima Yu said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty treats people very gently and has always been polite, how can it be said that it is indifferent?" ”

Zheng Xian shook her head, "It's just very indifferent, he's not close, he just laughs and talks." ”

Sima Yu understood something, she looked around, and then whispered: "Your Majesty can't be blamed for this." ”

"I have heard His Majesty speak to others about himself."

"Your Majesty lost his mother when he was born, he lost his father when he was young, and his brother was not close to him, and then he came to this palace, and he was alone, and His Majesty was very filial to the Queen Mother."

Sima Yu paused for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty has a lot to do, all of which are big things, except for those he really trusts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to others." ”

Zheng Xian suddenly woke up.

"I see"

Sima Yu hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't worry, if you get along for a long time in the future, Your Majesty will naturally be."

"No problem!"

Zheng Xian waved her hand, looking quite confident.

She looked at Sima Yu on the side, "Sister, do you think I'm handsome?" ”

Sima Yu's eyes widened and nodded subconsciously.

"I'll make your majesty change! From now on, Your Majesty will not be alone! He still has me by his side, and if he doesn't think it's enough, I'll give him seven or eight more children! ”

Sima Yu was frightened silly at the moment, she looked at the girl in front of her in shock, is this really the woman from Zheng Xiaotong's family with a solemn face? ?

Zheng Xian took Sima Yu's hand, "Sister, do you know what kind of meals Your Majesty likes to eat on weekdays?" ”

"Meals??"

"I remember that Your Majesty often talked about the food in Yuancheng, saying that I hadn't eaten it for a long time."

"Yuan Cheng? Good! I'm going to learn!! ”
