Chapter 612: Ten Thousand Empty Alleys

P.S. Correct later......

Ding Mi's face turned pale, his brows were tightly locked, when Cao Shuang appointed Cao Liang as the general of Pingbei, he was also in favor, after all, Cao Liang's status was low at that time, and he could not pose a threat to their status.

But a few years have passed, Cao Liang's merits have become greater and greater, and his official fortunes have become more and more prosperous.

Cao Liang's achievements in Bingzhou are obvious to all, but there is one thing that is inevitably criticized by others, that is, private placement of rural courage and self-respect.

The recruitment of village warriors was not to be criticized, because according to the usual practice, when the invasion of foreign enemies was insufficient, the assassin and the governor had the right to temporarily recruit the village warriors to resist strong enemies.

It was on this basis that Cao Liang privately recruited a lot of troops, which caused a lot of heated discussions in the DPRK and China, and Ding Mi also secretly doubted whether Cao Liang had the intention of using the topic to play, but because the war in northern Xinjiang was in full swing, it was inconvenient for the imperial court to send people to investigate.

So after Zhong Hui raised this point, Ding Mi immediately became vigilant, although Cao Liang was nominally a member of Cao Shuang's family, but Ding Mi knew that Cao Liang was not Cao Shuang's descendant, not to mention that in the face of interests, even if he was a descendant, he would betray him.

After sending off Zhonghui, Ding Mi stayed awake all night, and early the next morning, Ding Mi went straight to the General's Mansion to see Cao Shuang.

Since Ding Mi was already a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, as long as it wasn't for General Cao Shuang's resting time, the people would not stop him, so Ding Mi came to the hall all the way unimpeded.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yang was also there, obviously he was suggesting something to Cao Shuang again, and Ding Mi heard words like "Jin Jue" from a distance.

If it weren't for Zhong Hui's visit last night, maybe Ding Mi wouldn't have felt anything unusual about Deng Yang, but I heard that Deng Yang ate Cao Liang's bribe last night, and he came early this morning, he must have given Cao Liang a "good word" in front of Cao Shuang.

This guy is really greedy for money and forgetful, don't you know that this is equivalent to luring a wolf into the house.

Ding Mi took a step forward and sneered: "The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft, Brother Xuanmao is saying good things to someone, right?" ”

Cao Shuang and Deng Yang both raised their heads, Deng Yang's face turned slightly red, this guy actually blushed, it's really a joke.

Ding Mi has always been unpretentious about people, Deng Yang is also used to it, he smiled and said, "Brother Yanjing, what do you mean?" ”

Ding Mi was still sneering, and said: "What are the facts, Brother Xuanmao, you know it yourself, do you want the general to send someone to your mansion to check if there is a bribe given to you by Cao Liang, the general of Pingbei?" ”

A look of panic flashed across Deng Yang's face, Jiang Ji came last night to send such a generous gift on behalf of Cao Liang, Rao is Deng Yang is greedy for countless ink, but this gift list still makes him feel excited, anyway, it is just a few kind words in front of Cao Shuang, and it doesn't matter if he makes the decision, so Deng Yang was in a happy mood and accepted this generous gift unceremoniously.

Taking people's money naturally has to eliminate disasters for others, so Deng Yang ran to Cao Shuang early in the morning, but before he could say a few words, Ding Mi stepped forward to expose the old truth.

"You...... You're squirting blood! Deng Yang was full of shame and indignation.

What is the character of a few of his cronies, Cao Shuang is naturally very clear, Deng Yang is good at Kong Fang, Cao Shuang has always turned a blind eye, he waved his hand, signaling that the two did not have to quarrel, and said to Ding Mi: "Yanjing, you came so early, is there anything urgent?" ”

Ding Mi saluted Cao Shuang, and then said: "Back to the general, I heard yesterday that many senior officials in the court accepted bribes from Cao Liang, vying to be a lobbyist for him in front of the general. ”

Deng Yang was a little weak-hearted, but he didn't admit defeat, and said: "Cao Pingbei broke the Xiongnu Xianbei in Bingzhou, and he has made outstanding achievements, not to mention that he is his own person, and it is understandable to get some rewards from the imperial court, can you use your bloody mouth?" ”

Cao Shuang nodded and said: "Yes, Cao Ziming is a general who personally ordered him, and this time he won a big victory in Bingzhou, and there is also light on a certain face." ”

Ding Mi immediately retorted: "The general's words are wrong, if Cao Liang keeps to himself, he doesn't have to bribe the ministers in the court, just wait in Bingzhou, the general will definitely not bury his merits." But looking at the performance of this son, it has to make people suspicious, in the merger of the state private army, support the army of self-respect, cultivate cronies, exclude dissidents, at this moment, the merger of the state, I am afraid it has been in its hands. Not only that, this time Cao Liang spent a lot of money to bribe the courtiers, his ambition is obvious, on the side of the couch, how can he allow others to snore, if the general connived at him this time, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

His words made Cao Shuang fall into contemplation, as the actual ruler of Cao Wei, Cao Shuang also attaches great importance to his current status, for fear of being taken away by others, and constantly squeezing out Sima Yi is the best proof.

There is no doubt that Sima Yi is the biggest threat to his position as the first assistant, but apart from Sima Yi, there is no other competition? Of course not, it can be said that everyone who is an official in the court may become Cao Shuang's competitor, even if it is Cao Shuang's own trusted cronies, it is not impossible to betray him.

Of course, with the difference in status, this danger can be high or low, which is like a low-level official who has no power and no power, which will never pose a threat to the position of General Cao Shuang.

In the same way, the higher the position, the closer to the position of the general, this danger naturally increases exponentially, so Cao Shuang has to be on guard.

Yesterday, above the court meeting, Jiang Ji's proposal did catch Cao Shuang a little off guard, because under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Jiang Ji, as the captain of the opposing family, to propose that Cao Liang be promoted to the rank of knight, but this unexpected scene happened, Cao Shuang could only put it aside for the time being, and then make a decision after he took it a look.

In fact, Cao Liang's clan identity makes Cao Shuang also have some fears, although the same clan can bring the relationship between the two closer, but in the same way, Cao Shuang, who is a clan, has the qualification to assist the Son of Heaven, so Cao Liang also has such qualifications.

Therefore, it is impossible for Cao Shuang to completely trust Cao Liang, and he is naturally clear about the truth of raising tigers. After listening to Deng Yang and Ding Mi's words, Cao Shuang couldn't help but hesitate, it seemed that it would not work to reuse Cao Liang, but Cao Liang was so great that he had to be rewarded, so Cao Shuang fell into a dilemma.
