The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 297 Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain

Guanqiu Dian smiled but said nothing.

"Come, let's go into the study!"

Wang Xiang suddenly became enthusiastic, hurriedly took Guanqiu Dian's hand, and invited him into the study.

The two sat facing each other, Zhao Guo stood aside holding a pot. Guanqiu Dian waved his hand and said, "You wait outside."

Zhao Guo didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and left.

Guanqiu Dian looked at Wang Xiang and said seriously, "You guessed correctly. His Majesty wants to appoint Wang Su as the Minister of Works."

"Your Majesty has been deceived by Zhong Hui. It is obvious that my family is your loyal subject."

After hearing Guanqiu Dian's words, Wang Xiang did not speak in a hurry.

He first took a sip of tea, then sighed, "Your Majesty is wise. He must have his own reasons for doing this. We shouldn't speculate privately."

Guanqiu Dian cursed, "Your Majesty is right, he is really cunning and treacherous."

He didn't intend to continue pretending and said directly: "I heard that Wang Su wanted to find the Minister of Justice Chen Qian to sue you for your behavior and to have a confrontation between the two parties on the spot."

"I think Chen Qian will send someone to invite you soon."

Wang Xiang couldn't drink his tea anymore. He put it aside and said, "It's as he should be. He falsely accused me and should be confronted in the Supreme Court."

Guanqiu Dian thought about the emperor's instructions and stood up decisively. "Since you are so confident, I won't say much. Farewell!"

Guanqiu Dian stood up and walked towards the door. Wang Xiang sat calmly in his seat, not moving.

Guanqiu Dian frowned, walked out of the study quickly, and walked all the way to the door of the mansion.

Is this old thief really determined to fight to the death?
Just as Guanqiu Dian stepped out of the door, Zhao Guo hurried to his side, gasping for breath.

"Lord Guanqiu, the prince asks you to stay."

A hint of smile flashed across Guanqiu Dian's eyes, but he said seriously, "No need!"

"Guanqiu Jun!"

Wang Xiang soon appeared in the distance and walked towards here quickly. He walked to Guanqiu Dian with a helpless look on his face.

Wang Xiangming knew that this was another plot of the emperor, but he had no other choice.

He could only watch helplessly as the emperor dug a hole for himself and then jumped into it again and again.

You even have to beg to jump into the pit.

This feeling is really melancholy.

Wang Xiang's sharpness had dissipated a lot, and his temperament had obviously changed, and he really looked a bit old.

His indomitable faith seemed to have been largely shattered by the emperor.

"Please don't be angry, Guanqiu Jun. I have something else to discuss with you."

Guanqiu Dian followed him back to the study again.

Wang Xiang said directly, "Chen Qian and Wang Su have always been good friends. I'm afraid they're colluding to frame me. As the Chief Censor, you must not let such evil go unpunished."

Guanqiu Dian was very satisfied with Wang Xiang's performance.

He replied, "I am here for this very purpose. If Chen Qian and Wang Su join forces to deal with you, I will take action. There are no laws regulating matters of learning, so the Supreme Court has no reason to set up a court. The Censorate must be responsible for this matter."

"Besides, there are many interpretations of this classic. How can it be determined by one person? Don't you agree?"

Wang Xiang was all smiles at this moment. "You're absolutely right."

When Guanqiu Dian left Wang Xiang's mansion, he was in a very good mood.

The city of Luoyang seemed to have returned to its original state. Pedestrians were hurrying on their way, scholars were still debating loudly, and occasionally merchants passed by with goods.

Everything seems so calm, but beneath this calm appearance, who knows how many conspiracies have been woven.

Different people have different ideas, turning Luoyang into a huge whirlpool.

But Guanqiu Dian did not show any fear.

These rats must be killed sooner or later!
Guanqiu Dian took a car and drove all the way to Taiji Hall.

Cao Mao was extremely busy during these days.

After taking power, there were too many things that needed him to deal with. Although there were many wise men to share his worries, Cao Mao's daily workload was astonishing. He had to meet with seven or eight ministers every day, no more and no less.

Cao Mao's schedule was almost full.

Cao Mao probably knew why Emperor Ming and Emperor Wen did not live long.

When the general was sent away by the blessing, the blessing actually fell on his own head.

In fact, as the boss of the Cao Wei Group, Cao Mao could distribute the tasks at hand to his ministers, but after the ministers did something, they would definitely report to him, and he could not ignore them.

As soon as Cao Mao sent Zhong Hui away, Guanqiu Dian was already waiting for him.

Cao Mao suppressed his fatigue and ordered Guanqiu Dian to come in to report.

"His Majesty!!"

Guanqiu Dian bowed to Cao Mao, who quickly helped him up and let him sit next to him.

"Zibang must have accomplished great things by coming here!" Guanqiu Dian laughed. "I wouldn't call it a great achievement, but Wang Xiang still agreed."

Cao Mao narrowed his eyes. "This fellow has been forced into a dead end. Even though he knows it's wrong, he has no choice but to keep going."

Guanqiu Dian asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next? How should I intervene in this matter?"

Cao Mao said seriously, "Don't worry. In a few days, I will have Chen Qian announce this matter. Then, Wang Xiang will be responsible for building momentum and asking the court to recognize and decide on the interpretation."

"This will cause a massive backlash from the ministers, and Wang Xiang's reputation will be greatly affected."

"This kind of thing cannot be accomplished in one go. Let the ministers listen first. When they are frightened and fully committed to this matter, I can deal with Sima Zhao. Once Sima Zhao surrenders, I will have the Central Army, Hebei, and Huainan's armies. The entire Wei will be completely free of internal troubles."

"After we subdue the armies in the northwest and other regions, we can come back and continue discussing this matter. One day, the ministers will bow their heads."

Cao Mao spoke slowly, but countless thoughts flashed through his eyes.

Guanqiu Dian looked at the emperor and said with some distress, "Your Majesty will surely accomplish great things. However, I hope Your Majesty can take care of your health and not work so hard. You have many eunuchs around you, and you can use them to solve problems. You don't have to do everything yourself."

Cao Mao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to do everything myself, but there are always some things that cannot be done through the eunuchs."

But he also knew that this was Guanqiu Dian's good intention. He nodded and said, "I understand. Zibang, don't worry. Once these important tasks are completed, I will be able to relax and enjoy myself~~~"

Guanqiu Dian also laughed.

They both have some aspirations for the future.

By the time Cao Mao had finished explaining the matters concerning Guanqiu Dian, it was already getting dark.

Cao Mao took a deep breath, suppressed his fatigue, walked out of the West Hall, and under the guidance of several eunuchs, walked quickly towards the Zhaoyang Palace.

"Meet the mother!"

Cao Mao bowed and saluted.

Queen Mother Guo sat in the upper seat. She frowned and wanted to say something, but she still lost her temper. "Hmm."

Cao Mao smiled and sat beside her. "Mother, I have too many things to do today and cannot come to see you in time. Please don't blame me."

Empress Dowager Guo said, "How dare I blame His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't come to see me, I can't say anything. Your Majesty has already taken charge of the government, so there's no need for me to say anything more."

Cao Mao shook his head and said, "If I didn't have a mother, how could I rule the country by myself?"

"Mother, you don't know that the ministers in the court are publicly submitting, but secretly, they are using all kinds of tricks. Even my Dongtang Banquet was ruined by them."

Cao Mao talked about many unfortunate things that happened to him.

After hearing these words, Empress Dowager Guo's expression improved a lot.

Since Cao Mao took power, he became very busy. Naturally, he could not stay by the empress dowager's side all day to make her happy like before.

In the empress dowager's view, the emperor had begun to neglect her after coming to power and no longer needed her.

Cao Mao saw her psychological changes clearly.

Therefore, every time he came to see the empress dowager, Cao Mao would talk about how miserable his life was.

The Queen Mother said, "My son, you are still young. It will not be easy for you to govern the Wei Kingdom. Those people from the Guo family made a big mistake. But now, the Sima family has been eliminated by me. Why not ask them to come back and help you?"

"Weren't you familiar with Jian in the past?"

"What do you think?"

Empress Dowager Guo asked cautiously, then stared at Cao Mao's face, afraid to see displeasure on his face.

Cao Mao said seriously, "Mother, if you think so, I have no objection. However, the struggle in the court is becoming increasingly fierce. Now they are all in their own palaces and have not been implicated. They have food and drink. I think this is already very good."

"If I enter a dangerous place like the temple, I will be involved in the struggle and the dangers are numerous. I'm afraid it's better to stay in the palace."

"Of course, it's all up to you, mother. If you think it's okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow."

Empress Dowager Guo laughed. "You child, you've even called the imperial court a tiger's den. There are so many wise men gathered in the imperial court, how can you speak so horribly?"

"Just find something for them to do. I think Jian can take Yang Hu's place."

Cao Mao's brows twitched, and suddenly, he laughed, and his smile seemed to show some relief.

"My uncle is such a talented person. Isn't it a waste of his talent to be a general?"

"He should be rewarded greatly."

"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of these people."

Empress Dowager Guo was overjoyed. She held Cao Mao's hand several times and earnestly told him to take good care of himself.

Cao Mao smiled and nodded, but when he walked out of Zhaoyang Palace, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Cheng Jun."

Cheng Ji hurried to Cao Mao's side, "Your Majesty?"

"Send some people to watch over here. No one is allowed to see the Queen Mother without permission. If anyone tries to force their way in, you can kill them on the spot."

Cheng Ji felt his heart tremble and he quickly bowed.

"only!!!"
