The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 67: Thank you uncle for sending the warrior

"The Queen Mother wishes to see His Majesty."

When Guo Li appeared here, Li Sheng felt inferior.

When facing eunuchs in the same position, he could still use the names of Jia Chong and Sima Shi, but when facing General Xuan De, he dared not say a word against him.

Li Sheng hurriedly saluted him and walked into the hall in a hurry.

Soon, Cao Mao appeared in front of Guo Li.

Cao Mao hurriedly bowed to him.

Guo Li motioned him to follow him, then left in a swagger.

Li Sheng and others hurriedly followed.

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Guo Li didn't say much and his attitude remained arrogant.

When they walked into Zhaoyang Palace, the Queen Mother and Guo Jian were waiting for them.

Seeing Cao Mao arrive, Guo Jian immediately stood up and said to him, "How dare you! The Queen Mother summoned you! How dare you not come? Are you going to disobey me?!"

If he had just talked without taking action, this uncle would probably be a general of the same level as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, hot-tempered and courageous.

Guo Li was even angrier than Guo Jian.

"Sit down!"

After he said this, Guo Jian sat down again very obediently.

Wang Su had already intruded into their territory, and they were unaware of all this. At this moment, they were still trying to push the emperor to their side? Did they give birth to a fool?
Guo Li frowned and looked at Cao Mao, hoping that this guy wouldn't get angry.
Of course Cao Mao was not angry.

He was very happy to see this extremely stupid, irritable and incompetent uncle.

He usually faced cunning and scheming villains like Jia Chong, Wang Su and Sima Zhao. The more he got along with them, the more Cao Mao liked people like Guo Jian and Anshi.

What a nice guy.

Cao Mao hurriedly saluted Guo Jian and said helplessly, "Uncle, this is not my fault. It's all because of Jia Chong and Wang Su."

"Jia Chong sent people to keep an eye on me, and Wang Su refused to let me see the Queen Mother."

"I knew it when the Queen Mother first sent people here, but without their orders, I couldn't even leave the door!"

Cao Mao wiped his tears and said sadly, "How can I be called an emperor? I can't even leave the West Hall. I am controlled by Wang Su and Jia Chong every day. They don't treat me as the Son of Heaven at all. It's as if I will be driven back to Yuancheng at any time."

Seeing Cao Mao so grief-stricken, Guo Li hurried to comfort him, saying, "Your Majesty, do not be sad. We are here and will never let Wang Jia and his bandits do evil!"

Guo Jian also echoed: "That's right!"

"Don't worry, your uncle is here, no one can do anything to you!"

Cao Mao just felt that this sentence was very familiar.

This guy seemed to have said the same thing in Yuancheng, but when Anshi arrived, he ran faster than anyone else.

Any man with the surname Sima could scare him like this. Cao Mao didn't know if his uncle would dare to breathe in front of Sima Shi.

Empress Dowager Guo sighed.

Of course, the Guo family knew Cao Mao’s current situation.

She said very kindly, "Come, child, sit next to me."

Cao Mao wiped his tears and then sat next to Empress Dowager Guo.

"Empress Dowager. I."

"Oh, no need to say more, I know it all in my heart."

Empress Dowager Guo gently stroked Cao Mao's face, as if she treated Cao Mao as her own child.

However, her crude acting skills were not even as good as Jia Chong's. In Cao Mao's eyes, they were full of loopholes. For example, the way she stroked his hand did not look like a mother's caress, but more like scrubbing a guest's body.

This is too much force!
But Cao Mao still looked touched.

"Mother, I've seen through the current situation. We have no hope of victory."

"Wang Su is now my teacher, and everyone inside and outside the house is arranged by Jia Chong. I feel like a prisoner."

The Queen Mother was stunned. "Sima Wang hasn't left yet, how can you give up so easily?"

"Queen Mother, forget it. I've figured it out. I'll just focus on my studies from now on. Whatever they say is fine. I really can't do anything about it."

Before Empress Dowager Guo could say anything, Guo Jian became anxious.

Cao Mao's offensive against Sima Wang had already shown signs of victory.

Because of Cao Mao's extraordinary love for Sima Wang, Sima Wang became increasingly afraid to stay in the palace. He either said he was sick or had to serve his father.

If this continues, Sima Wang will definitely be fired.

Guo Li also took the opportunity to win over his allies in the court, and was waiting for Sima Wang to resign voluntarily, so that he could put pressure on Sima Zhao.

Everything is arranged, how can you give up?

Cao Mao snuggled up to Empress Dowager Guo and understood the thoughts of these people. These people were greedy to the bone. When they saw the meat in front of them about to fall into their mouths, they would not give it up no matter what.

Just as Cao Mao was thinking, Guo Jian couldn't help but say, "How can we give up halfway?"

"Mao, now that we've done this, we have to do it well. We can't give up easily!"

Not only Guo Jian, but also Guo Li could not help but try to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, I know you're afraid, but I, Guo, am in the palace. You saw it just now. I went there in person, and they didn't dare to say anything."

Cao Mao remained unmoved and still looked very frightened.

Empress Dowager Guo stroked his head again, "Child, listen to your uncle and don't be afraid. If you retreat, how can we protect you?"

The attitudes of several people have changed.

When Cao Mao heard the Queen Mother's persuasion, he hesitated slightly but nodded.

"You are my mother, I will listen to you."

Several people were overjoyed.

Cao Mao then said, "But now Wang Su is staring at me, and Jia Chong is also eyeing me covetously. I really don't know what to do."

"They all sincerely want to oppose my Guo family"

"Humph, who the hell is Jia Chong? And who the hell is Wang Su? Do you really think he has the final say in this palace?"

Guo Jian said loudly: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will assign one person to protect you!"

"This man is over eight feet tall, a descendant of a famous family, and serves under my command. Hahaha, let him lead a few elite soldiers to guard Your Majesty, and see what they dare to do!"

Cao Mao was shocked and said, "I'm afraid Jia Chong will tell the general."

"I'm responsible for guarding the entire palace. I sent people to patrol around the Taiji Hall. Does this violate the law? Even if the general knew about it, what can he do?"

Guo Jian shouted.

Cao Mao was of course happy in his heart, as he never thought that Guo could give him anything substantial.

These people are just giving themselves some support verbally.

No matter who Guo Jian was talking about, he had made a profit!

Then, the Queen Mother asked about Wang Su again.

Cao Mao naturally exaggerated the story and portrayed Wang Su as a sinister person who wanted to usurp the Guo family's throne and was willing to force the emperor away for the sake of wealth and glory.

The Guo family believed this without a doubt, probably because they would do the same.

The next day, the people sent by Guo Jian arrived at the scene.

This man was over eight feet tall and stood out in the crowd. He led four soldiers and patrolled around the West Hall.

Cao Mao naturally would not miss such an opportunity and quickly invited him in to talk.

I found out after asking this question.

Guo Jian did not lie.

He is indeed from a famous family.

The warrior in front of him was very young, only in his early twenties.

His name is Man Changwu.

He is the grandson of Changyi Jinghou Man Chong.

When Cao Mao learned of his identity, his eyes lit up.

He was indeed an upright and rule-abiding person. In history, when he was driving his car to charge, Man Changwu's uncle Sima Gan wanted to enter the Ye Gate and rush to the scene of the incident, but was stopped by Man Changwu. Man Changwu did not allow him to break the rules and asked him to go through another gate.

As a result of this incident, Sima Zhao became furious, thinking that this guy, like Wang Jing, was biased towards Cao Mao.

So he was caned, that is, beaten to death with a stick.

"So he's the grandson of Marquis Jing of Changyi. No wonder he's so tall and mighty! He's truly extraordinary!"

"Someone come! Big reward!!"

Unlike others, Cao Mao could openly make friends with Man Chong's grandson. Sima Zhao went completely crazy after Cao Mao's death, but not now. He would not be crazy enough to kill Man Changwu directly, and the ministers today would not stand idly by.

Besides, this person was sent by his uncle to protect him.

What's the big deal about making friends with him?
Man Changwu's family is very close to the Sima family, which must be the reason why Guo Jian sent him here.

But at this moment, Cao Mao smiled and held the other person's hand, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

Thank you uncle for the gift package!!!
