Over the years, Cao Chao has used Sima Shi's team, and it is also in the name of Sima Zhao to appease the old people of the Sima family and take them under his command one by one.

And he himself called himself the son-in-law of the general.

But this is actually a disguised coaxing of Sima Shi's reputation.

Let Sima Shi have a reputation for loyalty.

This is what Cao Chao does not want to see.

How many Zhongliang did Sima Shi kill? He is very capable, but ability has nothing to do with character.

Sima Shi rules the world only because he regards the world as something in his pocket, although this is much better than those dog things, but it cannot deny the conclusion that Sima Shi is also a dog thing.

Cao Chao's Dafa of the Three Clans is aimed at those hateful people who are prey on the common people, while Sima Shi's Dafa of the Three Clans is often aimed at people who have social interests in their hearts!

It's a completely different concept.

This is a vicious and ruthless person who can poison his wife for the sake of power and use his grandson as a threat.

Cao Chao didn't want future generations to compare him with Zhuge Liang, thinking that he was the two loyal ministers at that time.

That would be ridiculous.

and Sima Yi, his Luoshui fart, Cao Chao will sooner or later take it out and criticize it fiercely.

There is no shortage of loyalty in the Wei State, and Cao Chao also has people like Biqiu Jian, Jiao Bo, Li Zhao, Wang Jing, and Yin Damu, and they should be praised if they are to be praised!

This is not only for the purpose of rectifying the atmosphere of the society, but also for the purpose of governing the world in an upright manner, as Guo Zhi said.

He didn't want the future ministers of Wei to be people like Sima Shi, and he hoped that future generations would spurn Sima Shi instead of admiring his behavior.

Guo Zhi hurriedly said at this moment: "Your Majesty, the matter of Xiahou Gong is not something that can be easily said, there are many ministers involved here, and many ministers have participated in this matter, if this matter is re-judged, it will definitely cause many people to panic." ”

Cao Chao glanced at him, and the most frightened seemed to be him.

At the beginning, he was Sima Shi's horse pawn, whether it was attacking Xiahou Xuan, or engaging Li Feng and Zhang Ji, he was at the forefront.

This is for fear that the reckoning will be on your own head.

Cao Chao said softly: "This is not to investigate the fault of the ministers, this is to rehabilitate the ministers such as Xiahou Gong." ”

"Guo Gong don't worry, you have some credit these days, I know it."

Hearing this, Guo Zhi finally felt a little relieved.

Cao Chao looked at the Queen Mother, "This matter requires my mother to issue an edict." ”

"After all, I am the king of the future, and I don't know much about what happened at that time, if my mother can explain clearly what happened at the beginning and tell the world that this matter can be handled properly."

Empress Dowager Guo asked about the specific operation.

Cao Chao also told her in detail.

Immediately, Cao Chao looked at Guo Zhi and Guo Jian again.

"Guo Zhongcheng, after you go to the Imperial History Tower, you can gather the ministers to discuss the rehabilitation of Xiahou Xuan and others."

"Captain Guo, please release the captured scholars and inform them of the rehabilitation of Xiahou Xuan."

Cao Chao made arrangements, and these two people hurriedly received their orders.

Cao Chao discussed with the Queen Mother for a long time before leaving the Zhaoyang Palace.

When he walked out of the Zhaoyang Palace, Guo Zhi frowned, and he couldn't help but say: "The Queen Mother is not trying to rehabilitate Xiahou Gong and the others at all, she just wants to use this incident to show her benevolence and authority." ”

Cao Chao added: "There is also venting anger to Sima Shi. ”

Guo Zhi said helplessly: "Alas, and my two relatives, they are also greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have no idea of justice for the world at all." ”

Cao Chao laughed.

"Zishou, don't be emotional."

"You should keep an eye on this matter, if they don't have the idea of justice for the world, then we will do it."

Guo Zhi saluted and said yes.

At this time, Guo Zhifang remembered other problems.

"Your Majesty, Sima Shi had many cronies in the country at the beginning, and now you want to criticize his mistakes, will it cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the world?"

"If I had just gotten rid of Sima Zhao and the others and started to investigate the crimes of Sima Shi and others, then they would definitely be dissatisfied, and might even cause civil strife."

"But now, where did Sima Shi's cronies come from?"

"My power has been established, these people are afraid of getting involved with Sima Shi, where do they dare to speak for him?"

"As for the panic, those who were the most immoral and aided in the abuse at the beginning had already been executed by me, and the rest of them were either not too involved, or they had opened their mouths to intercede for Xiahou Xuan, where would they be afraid? Only a horse pioneer like Guo Zhi would feel panicked! ”

Cao Chao spoke very quickly, and quickly explained these things clearly.

Guo Zhi nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked, "What about Mrs. Sima here?" ”

"She's the daughter of the Great General, you"

Cao Chao hesitated for a moment, he touched his chin, and said that Sima Yu had not yet taken it into account here.

However, the relationship between Sima Yu and his father is not close, when Sima Shi died, she just took a look, and she didn't feel too sad from beginning to end, and even felt a little relieved.

Still, I have to make it clear to this person.

Now in the harem, Sima Yu is the most reliable person, and he doesn't cause any trouble to Cao Chao on weekdays, and he knows how to appease the Queen Mother and others.

Cao Chao thought about this, but because he had more important things in his hands, he went back to Dongtang first.

As soon as he arrived at the East Hall, Cao Chao saw Sima Zhao waiting here.

As Cao Chao's power became heavier and heavier, Sima Zhao's life became more and more difficult.

He was completely imprisoned, and although his family was close to him and people occasionally came in to visit him, what happened to him now was even more miserable than Cao Chao had been.

His reputation is getting worse and worse at the moment, because many policies are being implemented in his name, and most of these policies are not clean.

Sima Zhao was brought to the East Hall by a few armor soldiers today, and he didn't know why the emperor summoned him, these days, he couldn't decide anything, he could only be at the mercy of Cao Chao.

When Cao Chao saw him, he found that Sima Zhao was a little older.

Sima Zhao didn't live very long, but now he was tossed like Cao Chao, and his body was indeed a little unbearable.

Cao Chao's core tactics, boiling the old man, are reflected in various places.

"General Wei, sit down."

Cao Chao smiled and let Sima Zhao sit beside him, and then asked, "Are you okay these days?" ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the minister is doing well."

Sima Zhao's eyes were not shiny, and this answer was also very perfunctory.

Cao Chao just opened his mouth and asked: "General Wei, I heard that when Xiahou Xuan was disposed of, you wrote a letter for him, hoping to reduce his crimes, is there such a thing?" ”

Sima Zhaohu looked at Cao Chao suspiciously, did not rush to answer his question, and asked, "Is Your Majesty preparing to rehabilitate Xiahou Xuan and others?" ”

The smile on Cao Chao's face disappeared immediately.

He asked coldly, "What, General Wei wants to give me some advice on world affairs?" ”

This was already obviously dissatisfied with him, Sima Zhao only felt aggrieved, his face was flushed at the moment, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the soldier can not be killed." ”

"I have heard that people cannot stand without faith!"

Cao Chao didn't leave Sima Zhao with any affection at all.

Sima Zhao finally couldn't help it.

These days, he has suffered unprecedented humiliation and torture, and he has been so cooperative, why is he still treating himself like this?

Do you really think you don't dare to resist?!

He was furious at this moment, "Your Majesty, my family has also made meritorious contributions in the past, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't be able to ascend the throne as emperor!" ”

Cao Chao laughed, and he looked at the door.

"Someone, please ask General Wei to write a book!"

Suddenly, I saw Cheng Ji rushing in with a few armor soldiers, and directly grabbed Sima Zhao, and then Cheng Ji brought the letter, put it in front of him, and held his hand, and forcibly asked him to stamp the seal.

Sima Zhao was extremely frightened, and he once again found that he was so powerless now.

Cao Chao can kill himself at any time.

Cheng Ji slammed Sima Zhao to the ground, "An dare to be rude to Your Majesty?!" If you dare to look directly at Your Majesty, I will gouge out your eyes! Let you look like that Sima Shi!! ”

Sima Zhao slowly lowered his head and gasped for breath.

Cao Chao picked up the document that Sima Zhao had stamped and sat aside with a smile.

"General Wei, how good it is to do things kindly, why do you want to make such a fuss?"

"What kind of crime did you lead a large army to attack Luoyang? This is a crime that can not be punished by the three clans, if you count Sima Shi, and Sima Yi's crime, I will not be able to keep your five horses even if you divide the body, which is already a great kindness. ”

"Why do you have to go against me?"

Cao Chao said earnestly: "General Wei, are you willing to discuss big things with a friendly person, or are you willing to sit on the ground and discuss big things?" ”

Sima Zhao lowered his head and said nothing.

Cheng Ji was furious, and directly pulled out his long sword and put it directly on Sima Zhao's neck.

At this moment, Sima Zhao trembled with fright, "The minister is willing to negotiate with a friendly !! ”

Cao Chao's eyes were full of disdain.

Compared to his brother, Sima Zhao is too far behind, and he doesn't even have any backbone.

This is a typical greenhouse flower, which has been protected too well since childhood, and after all, it can't shoulder the heavy responsibility like Sima Shi.

Cao Chao motioned for Cheng Ji to let go of his hand, and said seriously: "Then next, let's talk about this matter of rehabilitating Xiahou Xuan, and also, your brother's many mistakes." ”

"The one you put on the table is about your brother's many crimes."

"Your brother has some credit, but more faults, this must be investigated, do you understand?"
