The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 53 I entrust my life and property to you
"Anshi!"

"Don't worry about it!"

Cao Mao seriously interrupted Sima Yan's thoughts.

Sima Yan's face was full of confusion.

Didn't you bring this up first?
Cao Mao said righteously, "I don't care what the General of the Western Expedition thinks, nor do I care what the General thinks."

"To me, you are my great general, my Marquis of Anshiwu!"

"Don't worry about these things, and don't talk about them outside. You know, when it comes to power, some things can become extremely terrifying."

"I was thinking that maybe your confidants told you to come to me more often, saying that it would be beneficial."

Sima Yan was stunned and was about to speak when Cao Mao interrupted him again.

"No need to explain!"

"Anshi, I regard you as my confidant and best friend. If it is truly beneficial to you, then feel free to come to me. My Taiji Palace is open only to you."

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Okay, Anshi, come on, keep eating!"

Sima Yan lowered his head and started eating, not knowing what he was thinking about, while Cao Mao talked while eating, and the topic seemed to always be about him.

"Anshi, there's something I need to tell you. You need to be a little more careful about Jia Chong."

"I always feel that this guy doesn't seem to want us to meet."

"When I first met him, I thought he was a wise official in the court, but now I feel that he has ulterior motives."

"what??"

Sima Yan looked up and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you think so?"

"I won't say much more about this matter. Just remember, don't get too close to him. I think this man's words and actions are inconsistent!"

"it is good"

Sima Yan left here in a daze, but Cao Mao frowned.

Zhuge Dan has already cooperated with Sima Shi, but Guanqiu Jian does not know this. He probably still thinks that he can get Zhuge Dan's support. He now really needs to tell Guanqiu Jian this news.

However, looking at the four eunuchs standing outside the door, Cao Mao couldn't help but fall silent.

How can we let Guanqiu Jian know this news?

He is now unable to contact the outside world, and no one in the government or the opposition can help him.

Cao Mao sat in the upper seat and rubbed his forehead.

Guanqiu Jian is the reason why I am still alive, I must help him.

Once Guanqiu Jian was gone, the furious Sima Shi would definitely use the most cruel method to kill himself.

Just the trouble I have been causing these days must have cured Sima Shi's low blood pressure.

"I want to practice calligraphy!!"

"Get pen and ink!"

Cao Mao waved his hand, and Li Sheng and others did not hesitate and hurried to get him pen and ink.

In fact, Cao Mao had a very good relationship with the people around him, and he could feel that they respected and loved him very much.

However, Cao Mao could not easily trust these four people.

The fact that they can stay by his side must have been arranged by Jia Chong himself, and it is impossible for him to easily let them turn from evil to good.

Sure enough, when Cao Mao picked up the pen to write, these four people kept staring at him.

This made Cao Mao quite helpless. He glared at them and said, "Why are you staring at me? I can't write if you keep staring at me like that. Go stand at the door!"

The eunuch did not dare to refuse and stood at the door, glancing at Cao Mao from time to time.

Cao Mao ignored them completely and started writing.

This writing took a long time.

The eunuchs standing at the door couldn't help dozing off.

At this moment, Cao Mao suddenly walked out and scared them.

Cao Mao took the paper in his hand and handed it to them.

"Look! How's it written?"

Li Sheng's eyes lit up when he took the letter, and he quickly praised it, "Your Majesty, this is well written! Your Majesty's calligraphy is extraordinary and unconventional, and it is incomparable to ordinary people. It is truly excellent!"

Naturally, they kept praising Cao Mao for his good writing.

They probably can't see what's good about it, but it's good anyway.

"I have copied the Book of Filial Piety. Let's go! To Zhaoyang Palace. I want to give it to the Queen Mother!" Cao Mao took the lead and walked towards Zhaoyang Palace. Everyone did not dare to delay and followed him. Cao Mao talked about the Book of Filial Piety as he walked.

"Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important. If a person is not filial to his parents, what virtues can he have?"

"I think that a copy of the Book of Filial Piety is enough to defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

As Cao Mao was speaking, he suddenly remembered something. He touched his waist and looked behind him. He said to Jiao Bo, "Jiao Jun, please go back and take away my jade pendant. I use it to press the Book of Filial Piety. The jade pendant was given to me by my uncle. You must bring it with you when you meet the Queen Mother!"

"Where was I just talking about? Oh, right, the Book of Filial Piety. It makes different requirements for filial piety for the five different categories of people: the emperor, princes, ministers, scholars, and common people. I believe that only by reading the Book of Filial Piety thoroughly can one achieve filial piety."

Cao Mao chattered incessantly to the people around him.

But at this moment, Jiao Bo returned to the West Hall with a helpless look on his face.

He returned to the place where His Majesty had just written, but did not see the jade pendant on the Book of Filial Piety. He searched around and saw the words written on the ground.

"Jiao Jun, the country is in danger, and I have a request for you."

"Zhuge Dan met with Sima Shi in Liang State, and his son was preparing to return to Yu Province. They colluded with each other and prepared to attack the General who Conquers the East."

"Please inform the Imperial Censor Guanqiu Dian of this matter and have him tell Guanqiu Jian. Spread the word in Luoyang, saying that the general recruited Zhuge Dan to quell the grievances against Xiahou Xuan, that the two men had reached an agreement, and that Zhuge Dan had betrayed his friend."

"You serve by my side, and there must be someone watching you. There are even more people watching Guanqiu Dian. If this matter gets out, you will be killed."

"I have been observing you for many days in the palace and have discovered that you are the only loyal and righteous person worthy of my trust!"

"I entrust my life to you. After reading it, it is up to you to decide whether to erase it or report it to Jia Chong."

At that moment, Jiao Bo's face turned red.

He gasped for breath and his hands couldn't help shaking.

At this moment, Cao Mao was standing in front of Zhaoyang Palace, discussing the Book of Filial Piety with several eunuchs, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the West Hall.

Later, will it be Jiao Bo holding a jade pendant, or Jia Chong with a ferocious face who will come?
Cao Mao had no idea what to do.

Although Jiao Bo died with him in history, he has only been in the palace for a few days. How can he trust others easily?

However, this matter cannot be delayed.

We cannot let Guanqiu Jian make the same mistake again.

The best way is to make Zhuge Dan turn against us again.

Zhuge Dan, like most people in the world, is quite proud, so Guanqiu Dian naturally knows what to do.

Even if Jia Chong knew about it, how bad could his situation be?

At most, you will be completely locked up and not allowed to go out.

As long as Guanqiu Jian is still alive, I can survive.

Cao Mao asked impatiently, "Why hasn't Jiao Bo come yet? Zhao Cheng, why don't you go?"

At this moment, Jiao Bo's figure appeared in the distance.

He lowered his head and walked quickly to Cao Mao, then handed the jade pendant in his hand to Cao Mao.

"Your Majesty, I have lived up to your high expectations and found the jade pendant for you!"

Seeing Jiao Bo's sincere face, several eunuchs curled their lips. "It's just a jade pendant, why make such a big deal out of it? If you don't know, you might think you're asking for a reward!"

Cao Mao chuckled, took the jade pendant from his hand, and then hung it around his waist.

"it is good."

The king and his minister looked at each other, and many words were spoken without words.

Cao Mao breathed a sigh of relief, as there were loyal ministers in the court.

Huangmen Jiao Bo, guard Li Zhao, and future Shangshu Wang Jing and others.

However, these people were not considered important figures. In Sima Shi's eyes, they were just ants that could be crushed to death with ease.

No matter what, Jiao Bo's reply still made Cao Mao in a good mood.

At least, in this hypocritical palace, he had someone he could trust.

No longer alone.

When the empress dowager learned that Cao Mao had brought the Book of Filial Piety to see her, although she was very suspicious, she still let him in.

Cao Mao naturally started with a set of filial piety procedures, and then talked about Sima Wang.

Sima Wang had been avoiding Cao Mao these days. He had no choice but to come only after Cao Mao gave him orders many times. Even Guo Jian could feel his panic.

This made the Queen Mother very pleased.

Including Guo Li, if Cao Mao could really force Sima Wang to resign, they would definitely mobilize their allies in the court to pull this position back into their own hands and prevent the Sima family from interfering too much in the affairs of the palace.

This time, both the empress dowager and the uncle had a clear change in their attitude towards Cao Mao.
