Chapter 1181 - Asking for a Title

Sealing his wife and son is probably a man's greatest pursuit, and only those who have made great contributions to the court and have honors can get this treatment.

Sima Zhao is afraid that he is not qualified to enjoy this treatment, but this is not important, now Sima Shi is in control of the government, and the power is tilted to the four fields, giving the deceased brother and sister Wang Yuanji a title, and putting gold on Sima Zhao's face, which also adds glory to the Sima family, which is not a big deal for Sima Shi.

Wang Yuanji is Sima Zhao's wife, she died, and the Sima family must bury her in a grand manner, so as to demonstrate the authority of the Sima family, but Sima Zhao's title has just been taken away by the imperial court, and Wang Yuanji naturally has no title.

Moreover, the funerals in the Han and Wei dynasties were extremely ceremonial, and what kind of funeral was used by people with any title, and if they exceeded it, they would be impeached.

Although Sima Shiquan is all over the world, he is not afraid that someone will impeach, but the name is not right, and the funeral is not enough.

So early the next morning, when the whole Sima Mansion was in the house and nervously preparing for the funeral, Sima Shi drove straight into the palace to ask for the title for Wang Yuanji.

For the title of female dependents, it is generally issued by the queen, but now Cao Fang's queen Zhang is just established, and the Empress Dowager Guo is unwilling to give up power, so the affairs of the harem are all decided by the Empress Dowager Guo, Sima Shi wants to ask for the title, so naturally he has to go to the Empress Dowager Guo.

Empress Dowager Guo lives in Yongning Palace, after Sima Shi entered the palace, he went straight into Yongning Palace, it stands to reason that this foreign minister is not allowed to enter the harem, but as Sima Shi, into the palace, it is completely possible to walk sideways, and now even the guards in the palace are Sima Shi's people, and when they see Sima Shi one by one, they dare not stop at all.

Sima Shi soon arrived at Yongning Palace, and when he arrived here, he couldn't enter with a swagger, and after ordering the Queen Mother's close attendants to pass it on, he tended to enter the palace.

Although Empress Dowager Guo is the queen mother, but in fact she is just a woman in her thirties, Cao Rong named her the queen when she was dying, fortunately her time is still short, and there are no heirs, Cao Fang is just a successor, in the final analysis, although she presides over the six palaces, but in fact she is also a lonely and lonely woman.

Although the palace is magnificent, it is more like a cage, imprisoning her in it, eternal life, and unable to leave, for a woman in her thirties, although she is in charge of the harem and has unlimited power, but her youth is gone, but it is also helpless.

The cooperative relationship between the Empress Dowager Guo and the Sima family has never been bad, when Cao Shuang was in power, not only did he not respect the Empress Dowager Guo at all, but he listened to the words of He Yan and others, and forcibly moved the Empress Dowager Guo out of Yongning Palace, and put him under house arrest.

It can be said that the alliance between the Empress Dowager Guo and the Sima family was completely facilitated by Cao Shuang, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Incident, and it was with the edict issued by the Empress Dowager Guo that closed the twelve city gates of Luoyang.

After the Gao Pingling Incident, the cooperation between the Sima family and the Empress Dowager Guo reached its peak, the Sima family usurped the power of the court, and the Empress Dowager Guo became the lord of the six palaces, and the power of Cao Wei was divided by them.

Not only that, Sima Shi also planned to marry his eldest daughter Sima Ru to Empress Dowager Guo's cousin Zhen De, but because Sima Ru liked Cao Liang and eloped, the marriage finally fell through.

But the eldest daughter did not marry, which did not prevent Sima Shi and Empress Dowager Guo from marrying, and after a year, Sima Shi married his second daughter to Zhen De, anyway, he has a lot of daughters, in order to pursue the greatest interests, these daughters are Sima Shi's political bargaining chips.

The marriage further consolidated the alliance between the Sima family and the Empress Dowager Guo, now Sima Shi is anxious to the outside world, and the state can not be taken, Youzhou is lost again, I wanted to take advantage of Sun Quan's death on the occasion of the national funeral of Wu Guo, fight the autumn wind, fish for oil and water, but I didn't expect to suffer a big defeat in Dongxing, now Sima Shi can be called embattled, the power of the court against him is ready to move, internal and external difficulties, the situation is pressing, even the emperor Cao Fang's attitude towards Sima Shi has changed significantly, obviously someone is supporting him at this time, This is the biggest crisis that Sima Shi has faced since he took power, and at this time, the support of Empress Dowager Guo must be particularly important.

Entering the hall, Sima Shi saluted and worshipped, with a respectful attitude, Empress Dowager Guo waved off the attendants, walked to Sima Shi's side, and said with a light smile: "The general has a lot of opportunities, why do you have the leisure to come to Yongning Palace to see the mourning family today?" ”

Sima Shi said bluntly: "Wang Yuanji, the wife of Sima Zhao, died of illness yesterday, and Sima Zhao, the younger brother Sima Zhao, recently because of the disadvantage of supervising the army on the Huainan front, the court jointly discussed to cut his title, so the minister entered the palace this time to ask the queen mother to give my brother and daughter-in-law Wang Yuanji a title, in order to seek a glorious funeral. ”

Empress Dowager Guo frowned, and said with a slight disappointment: "I see, the mourning family thought that the general missed the mourning family, but I didn't expect it to be a request for the mourning family, could it be that in the general's mind, the mourning family is not as good as your dead brother and daughter-in-law?" ”

Sima Shi is slightly embarrassed, now there is no one in the palace, Empress Dowager Guo naturally dares to speak so presumptuously, in fact, Sima Shi and Empress Dowager Guo have long had a dewy relationship, and the time is not short, but Sima Shi is busy with government affairs, and it is difficult to have spare time to come to Yongning Palace.

Sima Shi knew very well the thoughts of the woman in front of him, if he was not satisfied with her, he would not want to accomplish anything, and if he served her properly, then he could do nothing.

So Sima Shi hugged her in his arms, smiled, and said: "Such a big vinegar smell, you are the queen mother of the dynasty, you want the mother to be the world, is it interesting to compete with a dead man to drink vinegar?" Today I made a special trip to the palace to accompany you, and the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and I will not let it down. ”

Empress Dowager Guo smiled, her body was as soft as a crisp, she leaned on Sima Shi's arms, and said coquettishly: "If you want to ask for a title, this matter is difficult to say, and it is simple to say, it depends on your performance today." ”

Sima Shi laughed, stretched out his arms and hugged the Empress Dowager Guo into his arms, hugged him horizontally, and went straight to the warm tent......
