"Meet the Queen Mother!"

The second fool of the Guo family appeared in the Zhaoyang Hall again.

The Guo family can't make up three fools now, Guo Li is terminally ill, and I'm afraid he won't be able to last a few days.

Guo Jian and Guo Zhi seem to have lost their past sharpness at the moment.

The Guo family in Xiping was once prominent, but because it was involved in rebellion, they were deposed one after another, the men were slaughtered, and the women were treated as slaves.

The appearance of Empress Dowager Guo allowed them to come out of the risk of extinction, but there was still no comparison with the profound clan.

And after losing the protection of the Queen Mother, they became a piece of fat and were ruthlessly eaten by the rest of the big clans.

Now they are no different from those poor families, and they don't have any officials, let alone any wealth, they simply fell from the clouds to the ground.

If the Queen Mother summoned them privately, they probably wouldn't dare to come again.

Although Guo Zhi is shameless, he can tell the good and the bad, and knows who has the final say today.

But this time is different, it was the queen mother and the eunuchs around the emperor who came to convey the edict, so the two fools of the Guo family naturally would not resist, and they came to meet in a hurry.

Looking at the two clansmen in front of her who had not seen each other for a long time, Empress Dowager Guo was silent for a long time.

She still remembers that not long ago, these relatives were still by her side, united as one, but now, everyone has become different.

Empress Dowager Guo looked at the two people in front of her, "I heard, you guys have been doing well recently?" ”

Guo Zhi knew the Queen Mother's personality, and immediately replied: "It's all because of the Queen Mother's kindness." ”

Empress Dowager Guo was interested in continuing to talk, she said: "I asked you to come this time because I remembered your achievements in the past few years, and I didn't want the Guo family to sink here." ”

"Today's ministers are quite disrespectful to Your Majesty, every time I think of this, I am extremely angry in my heart, and I can't wait to take the place of Your Majesty to deal with these people."

"Your Majesty is young, after he became in power, he suffered a lot, suffered a lot of grievances and was even bullied by villains!"

The corners of Guo Zhi's eyes twitched wildly.

Grievance??

Insult?!

Okay, if you say yes, then there is.

The Queen Mother looked at them again, "I want you to help Your Majesty and deal with those traitors, Your Majesty is my own son, this is definitely not comparable to the likes of King Qi." ”

"The king of Qi is mediocre and cruel, this time he rebelled in Qingzhou, and he actually has the face to live in Luoyang, it is really shameless to the extreme!"

Empress Dowager Guo reprimanded King Qi.

King Qi doesn't like the Empress Dowager Guo, but the two of them don't have any deep hatred in essence, saying that the Empress Dowager Guo ordered to deal with the King of Qi, and this can't be relied on on the Queen Mother, after all, the Queen Mother is just a puppet, and she doesn't need to make a move against King Qi.

However, the Queen Mother was very disgusted with Cao Fang and felt that the emperor should not pardon Cao Fang.

This is probably because she failed to protect Cao Fang in the first place, Cao Fang must be brutal, mediocre, and incompetent, and she didn't protect him not because she was incompetent, but because she was unwilling.

Since Cao Fang returned to Luoyang, the Queen Mother has been very angry and often insults the King of Qi to the left and right.

Guo Zhi has no opinion on this, you can scold if you want, Cao Fang is okay, Cao Zhi is okay, as long as it is not Cao Chao, you can scold whoever you want.

Empress Dowager Guo scolded for a moment, and then said: "You can go to the emperor now, you must assist the emperor wholeheartedly, and you are not allowed to violate his edict, otherwise, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

Guo Zhi and Guo Jian hurriedly thanked him.

When the two of them walked out of here cautiously, Guo Jianfang couldn't help but ask: "Middle father, what does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

"Your Majesty intends to reuse us."

Guo Zhi said in a low voice: "Don't say much, see Your Majesty later, and look at my face and act." ”

Guo Jian nodded.

Combined with what is happening now, Guo Zhi probably understands the emperor's thoughts in his heart, but he does not intend to let go of such an opportunity.

When the two appeared in front of the emperor, Cao Chao was flipping through something and ignored them at all.

They stayed like this for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Chao finally let go of what he was doing.

"Oh? It was General Guo who arrived. ”

Guo Zhi is no longer a general, and Cao Chao's words have a mocking flavor.

"Your Majesty!!"

But Guo Zhi didn't dare to be dissatisfied.

Cao Chao motioned for them to sit aside, "Mother asked you to come?" ”

"Exactly!"

Cao Chao nodded again, "Okay, since it's my mother's order, then I won't say anything." ”

"This time I will deliver you a big thing, if it can be done, then the Guo family can also be as prosperous as in the past."

Cao Chao didn't say what would happen if it didn't work out, but both of them knew it in their hearts.

Guo Jian didn't take the initiative to speak from beginning to end, although he got along well with Cao Chao in the past, he remembered his middle father's explanation, and always saluted or chanted with him.

Cao Chao assigned the two to He Zeng, and asked them to help He Zeng, and the emperor did not say what they wanted to do.

Obviously, this is to send a few thugs to He Zeng so that they can bloom in many places.

The Guo family and the two thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then left here in fear

Shang Shutai, Zheng Yuan frowned, looking at Wang Rong in front of him with some disappointment.

"Why haven't I been able to handle what I told you three days ago?"

Wang Rong didn't speak, looking a little sluggish.

Even though Zheng Hao was good-tempered, he couldn't help it at the moment, and he patted the wooden case in front of him.

Wang Rong was startled and hurriedly came to his senses.

"Zheng Gong!"

Wang Rong said very sincerely: "I hope you will forgive me, I have occasionally felt a little sick and unwell in the past few days."

Zheng Hao suddenly realized, there was no anger on his face, and he said seriously: "I see, yes, these days, there are indeed a lot of things handed over to you." ”

"There are more and more things in this department, but this is only temporary, and it will definitely become easier in the future."

"You are young and talented, I will hand over the big things to you, but also want you to sharpen more, if you can do what you are doing today, your future future will definitely be limitless."

Zheng Yuan praised a few words, and then said: "Since you are not feeling well, then you should go back to rest early today, the things here will be put aside first, and when you get better, you will continue to operate, and don't be busy with government affairs. ”

Zheng Hao immediately asked Wang Rong to return home.

Wang Rong walked out of Shangshutai in despair, he has been restless for the past few days, of course, not because of any illness.

He was a little scared at the moment.

Your Majesty is going to inspect the temple thoroughly.

When Wang Rong became Huangmenlang, there were a lot of guests in his mansion, and these people brought all kinds of gifts.

Wang Rong couldn't stand their politeness, and accepted these things, they came more and more often, and occasionally asked Wang Rong to help with something.

These are very small things, such as writing a poem or inscribed a word, and Wang Rong will naturally not refuse.

And so it goes, the gifts become more and more numerous, and things get bigger and bigger.

Wang Rong was finally blinded by those golden things, and he followed his wife to calculate his wealth all day long, counting it over and over again.

Immediately, he began to use the money again, with his own power, to go around to buy farmland, buy family property, build mansions, and his life became richer and richer, and Wang Rong, who didn't care about money in the past, died within a few months.

He was replaced by a stingy, selfish, and greedy Wang Rong.

When he learned the news of Yushitai, Wang Rong was suddenly a little scared, because many officials in Yushitai went up through his recommendation.

He didn't actually do anything, just put their order at the top of the list, and just praised Zheng Yuan a few words by the way.

He was scared now that these things would come to light.

There are a lot of things to do in the ministry, and Wang Rong will be busy until late every day.

Today is a little early, it is not too dark, but it is still a little gloomy, and the clouds are thick.

Wang Rong sat in the carriage, the sun was obscured by dark clouds, making the whole world look dull and a little cold.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the wind blew again, and it could not get into the carriage, but the howl of the wind was unsettling.

Wang Rong sat in the carriage and could feel the swaying power.

Wang Rong took a deep breath and began to think of ways to deal with it.

Your Majesty still attaches great importance to these celebrities, and his relationship with Zhonghui is not bad, if he can confess his guilt in time and tell His Majesty all this, will he be forgiven?

But if Your Majesty didn't want to punish himself at all, or didn't find out about it, and he boldly confessed his guilt, would he cause trouble for himself?

Or tell your father about it first?

Thinking of this, Wang Rong's mood was even worse.

His father has been an official for many years, although he can't say that he has great political achievements, but he has never done such a gift-giving thing, when he wrote to him to tell him that he wanted to be an official, he also told himself that he could not ruin the reputation of the family and not do anything detrimental to morality.

What would he have thought if he had known what was going on here?

Wang Rong suddenly lost the courage to tell his father.

Immediately dispelled the idea of confessing to the emperor, it seems that he still has to try his best to hide this matter, maybe he can find a few friends to vouch for himself, His Majesty's favorite is Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, if they can come forward to vouch for themselves, Your Majesty may not move himself.

Yes, you have to send people to prepare in advance, if Your Majesty really wants to arrest yourself, you can also let the scholars come out and speak for yourself, and Your Majesty will not dare to attack yourself easily at that time

Hopefully, though, none of this will happen.

Unknowingly, Wang Rong finally came to his mansion.

The coachman drove the carriage into the mansion, and Wang Rong walked down from the carriage tiredly.

And at this moment, Wang Rong was terrified.

His mansion was full of armor soldiers, who were guarding the main roads, holding crossbows and staring at him fiercely.

And in the middle of the courtyard, there was a person standing, looking straight at the moment, his face was gloomy and extremely terrifying.

Wang Rong only felt that his legs were weak and fell to the ground.

The man standing across from him.

It was the Great Wei Emperor, Cao Chao.
