The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 230 New battlefield
What nonsense are you talking about?!

I'm telling you to fight them without worry!!

Why should I fight them? If I can defeat them, do I need you to intervene?

However, Wang Xiang was not panicked.

Those people are not targeting me now, but you.

Wang Xiang had been in contact with his favorite student for some time, and he knew very well that his disciple was not as simple as he seemed.

Anyway, you are not in a hurry, just let them do things. They don’t have to deal with these people through you. It just depends on who gets anxious first in the end.

Looking at Wang Xiang's calm face, Cao Mao picked up the book and prepared to study. He really didn't take what Wang Xiang said to heart at all.

Wang Xiang was in a very bad mood.

His plan seemed to have failed again. The emperor seemed to have no intention of taking any action. Did he give up completely?

But is the emperor the kind of person who gives up easily?
Wang Xiang could not see anything on the face of his favorite student, and finally left here disappointed.

After he left, Zhang Hua walked into the East Hall.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Cao Mao shook his head. "What else could happen? The general is gone, and the ministers are ready to take action against me."

"So fast?"

Zhang Hua was a little surprised. He also didn't expect the ministers to act so quickly.

Cao Mao smiled and said, "No wonder the general was convinced that I would join forces with Sima Zhao."

"I think he had long seen the true colors of these ministers, knowing their greed and cruelty, which is why he believed that I would join forces with Sima Zhao to fight the enemy."

Zhang Hua frowned.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Cao Mao. Once the ministers unite, they will have the final say in the entire court.

If there is no preparation to deal with it, Cao Mao will soon be imprisoned again, and the force this time will definitely be stronger than when he was the general.

They have no fear at all, and once they are imprisoned and cut off from the outside world, things will go in a very scary direction.

Cao Mao looked at Zhang Hua and said, "Maoxian, you have to leave as soon as possible."

"What does your majesty mean?"

"If they want to deal with me, the first thing they will do is to remove you from office. Once they find that they cannot win you over, you will be driven out of Luoyang, and there may be no chance for us to meet again."

"So, I have to change your position when they are not taking action."

Zhang Hua's face looked extremely ugly.

The Emperor of Wei was actually bullied to this extent by his ministers!

"Mr. Mao, don't be angry. There's no point getting angry right now. Think about it. Where would you like to go now?"

Zhang Hua said seriously, "You don't have to go anywhere."

Cao Mao was stunned, "Don't be stubborn"

"Your Majesty, after the incident at the Shangshutai, I wonder how many eyes will be watching this place. If I leave now, they will think you arranged for me to do this, and I will not end up well. Instead of that, it is better for me to stay by your side and continue to serve."

"I think we should not expel the Huangmen Lang at this moment, but recruit more Huangmen Shilang."

Hearing this, Cao Mao felt helpless.

He had previously summoned Hua Biao and wanted to appoint his son as the Imperial Guardsman.

Unfortunately, Hua Yi did not come. According to Hua Yi, he would not abandon his father-in-law at this time.

Huabiao was also helpless and asked the emperor for forgiveness.

Cao Mao asked, "Who should we call?"

"Sima Yan, Wang Xun, Hu Fen, He Shao, Chen Zhi."

When Zhang Hua said these names, Cao Mao burst into laughter.

There is no need to say much about Sima Yan. Wang Xun is the son of Wang Su, Hu Fen is the son of Hu Zun, He Shao is the son of He Zeng, and Chen Zhi is the younger brother of Chen Ben and Chen Qian.

"Mr. Zhang, Anshi is willing to come, but are the others willing to come to my side at this time?"

Zhang Hua said seriously, "Your Majesty, if you don't issue an edict, how do you know if they are willing to come?"

"I don't know whether they are willing or not, but the ministers probably hope that the descendants of these generals can stay in Luoyang."

Cao Mao glanced at Zhang Hua again and said, "You are indeed worthy of being my Marquis of Liu!"

"Okay, this matter is settled."

"I'm not even afraid of Master Sima, so how can I be afraid of these people?"

"Mother, this is it. How is it?"

Sima Yan smiled and helped Wang Yuanji get off the carriage, showing her the palace in front of her.

Sima You also got out of the car at this moment and stood behind his mother.

Wang Yuanji nodded, "Okay, not bad."

They then walked towards the Shiqian Palace. Sima Li had already learned of their arrival and was waiting with Guo Ping.

Wang Yuanji was not familiar with Sima Yi, but at this moment she showed her most gentle smile, "I'm sorry to bother you these days. This child always comes to you, saying that he misses his sister."

Sima Yi glanced at Sima You. She didn't dislike her younger brother at all.

They entered the palace and just as they sat down, Sima Yan said, "Mother, please wait here. I'll be back soon."

Sima You and Guo Ping hung out together again. Wang Yuanji watched them play with a smile and asked about Sima Li's life.

Now that she has her son by her side and is not under pressure from the clan, Sima Yi's life can be considered quite comfortable.

Sima Yi didn't know why Wang Yuanji suddenly came to her place. She was not good at talking to others, and her attitude was not very close. However, Wang Yuanji had good eloquence and was always actively leading the topic, so there was never a dull moment.

"Your Majesty!!!" Sima Yan quickly arrived at the Taiji Hall.

As soon as Cao Mao walked out, he was grabbed by the hand and dragged towards the Shiqian Palace.

"Let's go, let's go, my mother is here, she's in the Shiqian Palace!"

"what??"

"What is she doing in the palace?"

"Didn't His Majesty ask me to call her?"

"I asked you to tell her that I want to meet her."

"Yeah, how can we meet if we don't come in?"

Cao Mao took a deep breath and without further explanation was dragged all the way to the Shiqian Hall by Sima Yan.

"Father!"

Guo Ping was naturally very happy to see Cao Mao coming, and hurried forward.

Cao Mao pinched his face, then bowed to Wang Yuanji.

Wang Yuanji smiled and nodded.

Sima Yi understood Wang Yuanji's intention. She quickly stood up and said to the two children, "Come on, I'll get you something to eat."

Sima Li took the two little guys away, and Cao Mao sat in front of Wang Yuanji, and Sima Yan sat beside him.

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you all right?"

"I am fine, is my wife fine?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Yuanji asked, "Anshi said His Majesty has something urgent to see me about. What is it?"

Cao Mao frowned, knowing that he would never allow Sima Yan to deliver messages to him again.

"I have something important to discuss with you."

"I want Zhong Shiji to be the Zongzheng."

Wang Yuanji frowned. "If it's a major matter, Your Majesty should go to the ministers or to General Wei. Why come to me?"

Cao Mao scratched his head and said, "How can I dare to see General Wei now?"

"You don't know, my mother won't let me see him. She's prejudiced against General Wei because of the general."

"So, you want to talk to General Wei through me? Why bother? Don't you have Anshi?"

Cao Mao said seriously, "Since Madam asked Ayou to come to the palace, she must understand why I came to you."

"The prince went home to recuperate earlier. He has always been in good health, and he should have recovered a lot by now. I think perhaps the court should summon him back."

Wang Yuanji's face was very calm.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to join forces with General Wei, why bother talking about these things?"

"Madam, I have always kept my public and private affairs separate."

"What happens in this temple does not affect our relationship. We are a family."

Sima Yan listened to the conversation between the two men and had no idea what they were talking about.

Wang Yuanji chuckled, "Your Majesty, your idea is quite good."

Wang Yuanji was very angry. Cao Mao's behavior was undoubtedly freeloading.

He did not form an alliance with Sima Zhao politically, but privately wanted Sima Zhao to help him. What does this mean?
Should your family help you?

Besides, we are one family. Do you think General Wei will recognize us?

Cao Mao said, "The ministers are discussing important matters in the Secretariat."

"I think Madam knows what this means."

"Can General Wei participate in court meetings, and can he also participate in the Secretariat meetings?"

"Even though we don't have the name of a coalition, we're still dealing with the same enemy. Therefore, helping me is helping myself. I now have a good way to deal with the ministers. I don't ask General Wei to praise me for this, I just hope he can help me."

Wang Yuanji did not refute again.

Sima Zhao was also troubled by the affairs of his ministers.

The ministers obviously wanted to put everyone else aside, make the temple their own, and not allow others to interfere.

There is still rebellion in the local area. Once the rebellion is over, they will definitely do their best to weaken Sima Zhao, suppress his confidants, place their own people in his place, and make him a lonely man.

Wang Yuanji asked again, "What does Zhong Hui's appointment as Zongzheng have to do with the affairs of the ministers?"

Cao Mao laughed and said, "You'll know in a few days. A distinguished guest will arrive in Luoyang, which will be enough to give the ministers a headache."

"I originally wanted to have the Queen Mother issue the order directly, but since you and General Wei are relatives, I wanted to handle this matter together with General Wei. He has just taken up the position of General Wei and has not yet made any achievements. I am also kind-hearted."

Wang Yuanji had never seen such a shameless person.

It was obvious that the Empress Dowager's edict was ineffective, so she turned to Sima Zhao.

Why does it sound like you want General Wei to thank you for your kindness?

"Then how should I tell General Wei about this?"

Although she was very angry, Wang Yuanji still endured it. She was a very intelligent person and was very clear about the current situation.

Even if she didn't consider her natal family, she had to consider her two sons.

If the Sima family falls, her two sons will also suffer great disaster.

"Tell General Wei that Zhong Shiji can serve as the Chief of the Imperial Clan, and that Xiahou Xian and Cao Yu will arrive in Luoyang soon."
