Liu Fang and Sun Zi soon came in, and saw Cao Shuang sitting on the mat with a golden sword, and felt a little unhappy in their hearts, but there was no dissatisfaction on their faces, and they both saluted: "I've seen General Wuwei." ”

In the Han and Wei dynasties, the sitting posture was very particular, and on formal occasions, it was necessary to sit on knees, with the knees together, the soles of the feet facing up, and the buttocks sitting on the soles of the feet, which was called kneeling. Sitting is a sitting upright, and from this it leads to a whole set of etiquette that must be observed by the upper echelons of scholars, otherwise it will be regarded as rudeness.

Serving guests like Cao Shuang with his hips on the ground and his legs apart is not only rude, but also arrogant.

But Liu Fang and Sun Zi came to beg for help, no matter how arrogant and rude Cao Shuang was, they didn't dare to be displeased.

It stands to reason that Cao Shuang is a fourth-grade official, and Liu Fang Sun Zi is a third-grade official, and he is one level worse in terms of rank, but Cao Shuang has just been promoted to the minister of Gu Ming, so it is naturally a carp jumping over the dragon gate, so Cao Shuang has no intention of standing up at all, and said to the two: "The two Zhongshu suddenly visited, I don't know what to do?" ”

Liu Fang didn't say anything, Sun Zi was about to speak, but Liu Fang secretly pulled him, and Sun Zi was silent.

Cao Shuang was a little inexplicable, these two people came over at this time, did they want to perform a pantomime?

"What do you mean?" Cao Shuang said with some displeasure.

Liu Fang coughed lightly and said, "When I visited today, I did discuss something with General Cao, but after entering the hall, looking at General Cao's complexion, it is better not to say anything." ”

"My complexion? What's wrong? Cao Shuang said suspiciously.

"A certain view of the general's seal hall is dark, like a dark cloud covering the top, I am afraid it is an ominous omen." Liu Fang is serious and authentic.

When Cao Shuang heard this, the difference didn't go crazy, damn, you are a dignified middle school supervisor, and you actually have the same tone as the fortune teller on the street, Lao Tzu has just been promoted to the minister of Gu Ming, it is the most proud time in life, you actually said that Lao Tzu Yintang is black, there is an ominous omen, go to your uncle!

"Liu Zhongshu, are you here to give Cao a face?" Cao Shuang said with a sneer.

Liu Fang said with a smile: "It seems that General Cao doesn't seem to believe in Liu's physiognomy." ”

Cao Shuang snorted heavily and said: "The so-called physiognomy is just a false statement, just grandstanding, if Liu Zhongshu is only for the sake of face-to-face, forgive Cao for not sending it, please!" ”

Liu Fang ignored Cao Shuang's eviction order, but said leisurely: "I have heard that Cao Zidan is a generation of good generals and heroes, but I can't imagine that his son is so unwise, and he still doesn't know that the catastrophe is coming, and he is still complacent, sad and lamentable!" ”

Cao Shuang was really angry this time, brushed the ground and pulled out his sword, pointed directly at Liu Fang, and said sharply: "Liu Ziqi, you have been slandered three times and five times, don't you think that Cao's sword really doesn't dare to hurt you?" ”

Facing the cold and shining sword, Sun Zi was a little panicked, and hurriedly gave Liu Fang a look, and said in his heart, brother, we are begging for someone to come, you offended them as soon as you entered the door, what should I do next?

Liu Fang looked calm, his expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "Liu dared to come today, so he naturally put life and death out of the way, but it's a pity that the general has just been ranked as a minister, and he has not been rich but wants to follow in Liu's footsteps, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”

Cao Shuang's face was gloomy, Cao Rong had just determined the list of the five auxiliary ministers a few hours ago, which was a top secret matter, but he didn't expect Liu Fang and Sun Zi to know.

But looking back, after all, the palace is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are many eyes and ears from all parties, and it may be difficult to hide such a big thing.

But even if Liu Fang and Sun Zi knew about it, I'm afraid it's too late, what can be said is actually what Yintang is black, and what is the worry about life, there is no nice word, these two guys, are they disgusting themselves?

Although they have no friendship with themselves, can they commit crimes that have no grudges and no hatred in the past?

"I didn't expect Liu Zhongshu to be well-informed, and such top-secret things in the palace can't be hidden from Liu Zhongshu's ears and eyes." Cao Shuang is naturally not stupid, since Liu Fang knows, he must have another purpose, so his words are also relaxed, wanting to test Liu Fang's true intentions.

Liu Fang smiled and said: "Liu is also a close servant of the Son of Heaven, not only knowing that General Cao was appointed by His Majesty as an auxiliary minister, but also knowing that there are two people in front of the general, Cao Yu, the king of Yan, and Xiahou Xian, the leading general, and the two behind the general, Cao Zhao, the captain of the Tun cavalry, and Qin Lang, the general of the Xiao cavalry. General Cao, I don't know if Liu is right? ”

Cao Shuang really no longer doubts that Liu Fang knows some fur this time, this guy not only knows all the five auxiliary politicians, but even the ranking is clear, it seems that he still knows very well.

"Since Liu Zhongshu knows that a certain is an auxiliary minister, then why do you still make sarcastic remarks, saying that there is a bloody disaster in a certain person, is it possible that Liu Zhongshu thinks that a certain is not worthy of being an auxiliary minister?"

"How can Liu have this intention, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, if you talk about qualifications, it must be a general!"

"Then you ......"

Liu Fang laughed and said: "General Cao, don't you think that becoming a minister is the icing on the cake, cooking oil with fire, and from then on, you will have a prosperous career and a rich life?" ”

Cao Shuang's face was gloomy, and he said, "What does Liu Zhongshu think?" ”

Liu Fang said meaningfully: "Sai Weng lost his horse, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a blessing, and the things of life were originally blessings and misfortunes, and the general thought that it was a matter of great wealth and nobility, and it may not be the time when a catastrophe is coming." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Cao Shuang's face was pale, and he stared at Liu Fang deadly.

This guy hasn't had a good word since he entered the door, and if he can't say a single ugly thing today, this matter will definitely not be over.

Liu Fang asked rhetorically: "What is the relationship between the general and King Yan, Xiahou Xian, Cao Zhao, and Qin Langpingsu?" ”

"The same hall is a minister, and each is a society."

Liu Fang smiled lightly and said: "I'm afraid General Cao is insincere, as far as I know, the general has always despised what Cao Zhao and Qin Lang did, and he is ashamed to be together, and the two of them have a lot of grievances with the general, and they don't get along well." ”

"So what? A certain minister is appointed by His Majesty, and a certain only needs to fulfill his duties, so what does it have to do with them? ”

"Have you ever heard a saying: How can anyone snore next to the couch? Cao Zhao and Qin Lang had too close friends with King Yan and Xiahou, if the four of them colluded and joined forces to deal with the general, how would the general deal with himself? Above the court, for power, are there fewer things to fight each other? With the strength of the general alone, can he defeat the four people with the same spirit? Therefore, a certain person said that when the general thought that wealth and wealth were about to rise to the top, he might really be worried about killing his life. ”

As soon as Cao Shuang said this, he was dripping with cold sweat, he hurriedly got up, bowed to Liu Fangchang, and said respectfully: "The words of the Chinese book, Daigo empowerment, Shuang is taught, what should I do, may the Chinese book teach me!" ”
