The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 63 Trampling!

Cao Mao woke up from his sleep and felt very happy.

People say that being an emperor is tiring, but in fact it is just because there are no wise ministers around him.

I have Jia Chong, Sima Zhao, Sima Shi and others around me. Every day I either play or eat and drink. What's the problem with that?

It is not an exaggeration to say that he was so happy that he didn't miss Wei.

It is really my blessing to have such wise ministers in the court.

Cao Mao made a self-deprecating comment and then began to follow the procedure to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.

The more Cao Mao came into contact with these people, the more he looked down on them.

The Guo family gave him a very bad impression, being cowardly and greedy.

They were very afraid of Sima Shi, the reckless Guo Jian, who didn't even dare to greet them in front of others.

The Queen Mother did not dare to accept my visit. Every time she came to visit, she would ask me to pay my respects outside.

But these people are really blinded by greed.

They kept an eye on Sima Wang's affairs all day long, and Guo Li came to ask him several times about the progress of the matter.

If they were to be timid to the end and completely surrender to the Sima family, or to be stubborn to the end and refuse to give up an inch of land, Cao Mao would think they were capable.

But he insists on being a fence-sitter, the kind that disgusts his allies.

Cao Mao was not in a hurry to summon Sima Wang anyway.

He originally wanted to get in touch with Liu Lu and others through Guo Jian, but now he has opened up the situation through Jiao Bo. More and more people will join his army in the future. As Cao Mao, the descendant of Wei Wu, how could he collude with you, the Guo family?

Nothing in the world is free, so you should at least let me see some sincerity, right?

When Cao Mao returned from the Empress Dowager, the eunuchs in front and behind him still kept their heads down.

His eunuch was replaced by another person, and Zhou Sheng disappeared.

Cao Mao asked Li Sheng, and Li Sheng told him that Zhou Sheng had returned home due to illness.

Cao Mao knew what was going on, of course, but he still pretended to complain a few times.

The well-dressed descendant of a famous family tried every means to serve the country, while the eunuch from a low-class family died because of his inner persistence.

Cao Mao did not dare and could not express any thoughts about this. He could only keep all these accounts in his heart and take revenge slowly.

But the attitudes of the people around me have changed a lot.

People like Li Sheng no longer stared at him as intently as they used to. Perhaps because of the embarrassment of being exposed the first time, they always kept a distance and would not prick up their ears to listen to Cao Mao's stories.

This made Cao Mao very dissatisfied.

Sima Shi asked you to monitor me, how could you be so negligent?
You can't let my general down. The general's blessing depends on you, how can you be negligent?

Since they no longer followed Cao Mao closely, Cao Mao had the opportunity to be alone with them occasionally.

Jiao Bo also took the opportunity to inform the progress of the matter.

Li Zhao had been won over by him, and there were also more than ten guards, all of whom were Li Zhao's close friends and were willing to serve him.

Cao Mao was overjoyed, and Jiao Bo deliberately created an opportunity for them to meet alone.

When Jiao Bo ordered many eunuchs to move things out, Cao Mao stood beside Li Zhao calmly.

"Mr. Li, I heard good news from Mr. Jiao last night. I slept very well last night."

"In the past, I always had trouble sleeping and eating, and I was terrified. Now, I don't have to be afraid anymore."

"I also have the Tiger Marquis by my side."

Cao Mao looked ahead and did not look at Li Zhao beside him.

Li Zhao also lowered his head and kept his distance.

"Your Majesty, I receive your salary and serve you, which is my duty."

"Okay, my Tiger Marquis, next, you will continue to win over the palace guards. I don't care about their status, whether they are eunuchs, kitchen assistants, or eunuchs. As long as they are trustworthy, you can win them over! I have absolute trust in Tiger Marquis!"

Li Zhao's face flushed red, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.

He suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have someone I want to recommend, but I don't know who to recommend." "Opportunities are few, so just tell me, Lord Tiger! Hey, Mr. Li! Leave that case here! Don't move it!"

Cao Mao spoke to the distance.

Li Zhao then said, "Your Majesty, the Palace Captain Yin Damu was my former commander. In fact, he was not a traitor as some would claim. In the past, he always taught us to be loyal to the king and not to be used by thieves."

Cao Mao was stunned and suddenly woke up!

Yin Damu!!!
This low-class person who betrayed Cao Shuang and was secretly ridiculed by many people! !

Cao Mao knew him because of his strange name. This man had no long-term vision. Because Sima Yi swore by the Luo River, he believed his words, which led to the tragedy of Cao Shuang.

He always felt extremely guilty and vowed to avenge Cao Shuang.

Historically, he fought against Guanqiu Jian together with Sima Shi. Seeing that Sima Shi's condition was very serious, he took the initiative to say to Sima Shi: Wen Qin did not want to rebel, but was forced by Guanqiu Jian. Please let me persuade him to surrender.

Sima Shi agreed to his request.

Yin Damu rushed to the front of the battle and shouted, "Have you seen me, Governor Wen? Why couldn't you be patient for a few more days?"

This was because Yin Damu knew that Sima Shi was dying and wanted to keep Wen Qin, but Wen Qin cursed him, calling him a traitor and preparing to shoot him with a bow and arrow. Yin Damu burst into tears, and then he disappeared from then on. It is very likely that he was made "disappear" by Sima Shi.

Cao Mao's mind quickly locked onto a person, the captain who always avoided him when he saw him.

He had found it strange before, but now he understood.

The other party is burdened with a bad reputation, so he is ashamed and dares not meet me!
He was currently the Captain of the Palace. Although not as powerful as the Protector General Guo Jian, he commanded a full 800-man combat unit, the 800 armored warriors guarding the Taiji Palace!
Cao Mao's heart suddenly began to boil.

If he could pull Yin Damu over, he would have a little power to protect himself in the palace. Moreover, Yin Damu had a bad reputation, and the Sima family trusted him very much, believing that he would never be lured by the Cao family.

Cao Mao suddenly became excited.

Li Zhao was very conflicted at this moment.

He knew that his former superior was definitely not a traitor, but the emperor might not believe it. He might not even be able to gain the emperor's trust in the future.

Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful. Should he not have mentioned this matter?

"Good Tiger Marquis!"

"When Sima Yi farted in Luoshui, no one could have predicted it. It was definitely not the captain's fault. I know the captain was raised by the Cao family and is an elder of my clan! He has a man like Hu Hou under his command, so why should I hesitate?"

"Marquis Hu can tell you the truth, but be careful. The Sima family has spies all over the palace."

As Cao Mao spoke, he walked towards Li Sheng and others.

Li Zhao was speechless.
I can only say in my heart: Wei!!!
Cao Mao was chatting nonsense with Li Sheng and others, but he was thinking about the ministers he could trust.

Yin Damu is one of them. Besides Yin Damu, there is also Wang Jing.

Although Wang Jing also had the surname Wang, he was not from a wealthy family. He was born into a wealthy peasant family. Later, he was appreciated by his fellow villager Cui Lin and was promoted to an official.

He and Guanqiu Jian were known as the last loyal ministers of the Wei Dynasty.

At this moment, he was still serving as the prefect of Jiangxia. Soon, he would be appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, and then be beaten up by Jiang Wei. He would then serve as the Inspector of the Imperial Guards in the temple and would be very much loved by Cao Mao.

Before starting the rebellion, Cao Mao contacted Wang Shen, who came from the powerful Wang family of Taiyuan, Wang Ye, who came from the powerful Wang family of Gaoyang, and Wang Jing, who came from a peasant family, and asked them to help him.

Wang Jing asked Cao Mao to be patient, plan carefully, and then take action, but Cao Mao obviously could not wait any longer.

Immediately, the two nobles went out to tell the Queen Mother about the incident and wanted to take Wang Jing with them, but Wang Jing did not agree.

In the end, Sima Zhao executed him.

Before being executed, Wang Jing was taken to his mother to plead guilty. His mother told him: "Who doesn't die? You deserved to die!"

What’s funny is that the two famous families who had been under the rule of Wei betrayed Cao Mao, while Wang Jing, who came from a peasant family, maintained his moral bottom line.

Cao Mao sat in the mansion and looked at the guards around him.

The way they looked at Cao Mao was different from before.

Cao Mao laughed.

There is no shortage of loyal and righteous people in the world. These people who are looked down upon by the aristocratic families have severely trampled on the personalities of those who despise them.

This time, I will lead them, not only to trample on those people's souls, but also on their bodies!!
