Huan Fan's visit surprised Cao Liang very much, he personally greeted him at the door of the mansion, and said with a smile: "Mr. is here, so that the humble house is full of glory." see the latest chapter section hundred searches "

Originally, Cao Liang was also a polite remark, but Huan Fan seemed to be a little unappreciative, and said coldly: "If your Gaoling Marquis Mansion is also a humble house, then our mansion is not a chicken coop and dog shed." ”

Cao Liang immediately choked there, it was still a familiar formula, it was still a familiar taste, it had been almost a year since he returned to Luoyang, and Huan Fan's temper and personality had really not changed, and he still choked people to death.

Cao Liang smiled, but he didn't care, after all, he had been with Huan Fan for a few years, and he was used to it, so he welcomed Huan Fan into the hall and said: "Since returning to Beijing, Mr. is busy with official business, and we have to see each other rarely. ”

After returning to Beijing, Cao Liang became a nominal auxiliary general, doing nothing every day, very idle, but Huan Fan is different, he became a big Si Nong, one of the nine Qing Dynasty, in the Han Dynasty, Da Si Nong was responsible for the collection of land rent, manuscript tax, calculation of endowment, endowment, more endowment, more endowment, calculation of taxes and other taxes, but also engaged in the production of salt, iron, wine monopoly, engaged in commercial activities such as equalization and leveling, and managed the transportation and allocation of materials, responsible for the state officials' financial expenditures, military and political expenses. Dasi Nong has officials at the central and local levels who are in charge of various financial affairs.

Although in the Three Kingdoms period, a large part of the power of Dasinong was seized by Duzhi Shangshu, but it was still an extremely heavy position, and after Huan Fan served as Dasinong, he was busy with affairs, and there were naturally few opportunities to meet Cao Liang.

Huan Fan's face was very ugly, this time he made a special trip to find Cao Liang, he wanted to persuade Cao Liang, not to indulge in the wine, Cao Liang is good, as soon as he entered the door to arrange a banquet for him, Huan Fan was speechless, he waved his hand, and said lightly: "There is still official business, and I will stay soon, say a few words and leave." ”

Cao Liang knew Huan Fan's temper and said that one is one, so he ordered his subordinates to change the tea, and said with a smile: "I don't know what advice Mr. has?" ”

Huan Fan had a gloomy face and said: "Ziming, when I was merging the state, I respected you very much, I took the lead, worked hard, forged ahead, was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the achievements were obvious to all, but after returning to Luoyang, you were a lot lazy, immersed in wine, not enterprising, frankly speaking, I am indeed deeply disappointed in you, where did Cao Ziming, who stepped on the northern Xinjiang to hold the world in the world, go?" ”

Cao Liang didn't expect Huan Fan to be so straightforward, looking at his expression, he was also quite distressed, obviously he was deeply disappointed in Cao Liang's performance after returning to Beijing.

Cao Liang smiled faintly and said: "When I was in Mergezhou, I was the governor of the capital who commanded thousands of troops and horses, but when I returned to Luoyang, I was just an auxiliary general who led Yulu without soldiers and power. ”

Huan Fan couldn't help but be a little silent, what Cao Liang said was indeed true, generally speaking, Cao Shuang was indeed not very kind in this matter, and it was indeed nothing to do to let a governor with a heavy army return to Beijing to be idle.

"The general's actions are certainly biased, but Ziming, you shouldn't give up on yourself, you and Sima Shi are enemies, why do you still accept his daughter as his second wife? Is it just because of its beauty? Huan Fan asked.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Fate, I guess you don't understand it very well." ”

Huan Fan frowned, and said: "Ziming, do you know that the general and Sima Taifu are on the same footing, and you take Sima as a concubine, isn't it fire to take chestnuts?" In this court, you can't rely on your will, make friends with the Sima family, and invisibly get the envy of the general, and the gains outweigh the losses. Originally, the general had the intention of reusing you this time, but because of your marriage with the Sima family, it was abandoned. ”

Huan Fan is indeed a good intention, after Cao Shuang heard about Cao Liang's concubine, he was obviously dissatisfied, if Cao Liang continued to act like this, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get Cao Shuang's reuse.

In this regard, Cao Liang naturally foresaw it, and after accepting Sima Ru, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Cao Shuang, but is this important to Cao Liang?

But there are some things that can't be said to Huan Fanming, Cao Liang knows that Huan Fan is an upright person, originally he was not a person in Cao Shuang's inner circle, but in the Gaopingling incident, he was too active, and when Cao Shuang was in danger, he ran alone, came up with ideas, and thought of a way, but unfortunately Cao Shuang turned a deaf ear and didn't listen to Huan Fan's plan.

Cao Shuang's fate is not worthy of sympathy, this is the result of his own blame, but Huan Fan died unjustly, if he hadn't gone to the troubled waters, he might not have suffered the disaster of extermination.

"Sir's words, Liang has been taught. But Liang also has a word, I don't know if to say it or not? ”

"You and I are also friends of life and death who have shared hardships, so it doesn't hurt to say anything outright, you don't have to hide it."

"The first emperor died, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the general assisted the government, it has been eight years, what does Mr. think of the past eight years?"

Huan Fan didn't expect Cao Liang to ask this, so he couldn't help but be speechless, frowned, and said, "Ziming, what do you mean by this?" ”

Cao Liang smiled and said: "This is not to Mr. Judge current affairs, just you and I communicate privately, the general has been an assistant for eight years, appointing private individuals, dictatorship and disorderly government, embezzling domestic production, messing up the harem, insisting on going his own way, sending troops to waste, chaotic courts, unauthorized power and immorality, and so on, all of which are like defeats. ”

Huan Fan was shocked and said, "Ziming, don't you know anything, this dynasty has really changed a lot?" ”

Cao Liang did not admit or deny it, and said with a light smile: "Heaven is evil, it is still violated, self-inflicted, you can't live, Buddhism pays attention to karma, what kind of cause there is, what kind of effect is naturally there, it's not that you don't repay it, the time has not come." When I say this, Mr. knows that he can do it, and he is not an outsider. ”

Huan Fan originally came to persuade Cao Liang, but after persuading and persuading, he changed the direction of the wind, why did Cao Liang persuade him instead, but Cao Liang's words were extremely scary, it seemed that Cao Liang had seen through everything, which had to make Huan Fan thought-provoking.

He reminded Cao Shuang to beware of someone making trouble, but he thought that Cao Shuang's behavior of going out of the city was inappropriate, but there was another deep meaning in Cao Liang's words, which made him shudder.
