Chapter 15: The Butterfly Effect
What happened next is not something that Cao Liang can hear and witness, not to mention that the front hall of Jiulong is still a long way from the Jiafu Palace, even if Cao Liang can be on duty in the Jiafu Hall today, it can only be standing outside the palace gate, and everything that happens in the dormitory is not something that Yu Linlang, who has a lowly position, can know.
However, Cao Liang, who is familiar with this history, already knows the final result.
There will be no more accidents, and there will be no more accidents, Cao Rong will soon hang up, and his successor son Cao Fang will become the new monarch of Cao Wei, while Cao Shuang and Sima Yi will become auxiliary ministers without any suspense.
An eight-year-old child can understand any military affairs, and the power of the DPRK and China will undoubtedly fall into the hands of Cao Shuang and Sima Yi.
To be precise, it fell into the hands of Cao Shuang.
Cao Shuang became the first auxiliary minister, full of spirit, flying and domineering, excluding dissidents, cronyism, and thinking that the power of the DPRK and China was in his hands.
And Sima Yi will continue to cultivate obscurity, forbearance and restraint, continue to play the role of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and then, choose the most suitable time, strike hard, kill Cao Shuang, and lay a solid foundation for his descendants to sit on the world.
Sima Yi has acted in a lifetime of plays, and has also confused almost everyone, according to common sense, an old man over sixty years old is about to die, how can he still have that ambition and ambition.
But Sima Yi's perseverance is extraordinary, even if it is in the old age, the same ambition is still there, he has forgotten it all his life, what he is waiting for is an opportunity that belongs to him, or he will not make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, it will be a thunderous storm, iron and bloody, so that his political enemies will never have a chance to fight back.
Cao Cao's vision of people has always been very poisonous, and Sima Yi, who is diligent and low-key, is regarded by many as a good gentleman and a model of loyalty and virtue, but Cao Cao thinks that Sima Yi has the heart of a tiger and a wolf and is unwilling to succumb to others.
Cao Cao really didn't wronged him, Sima Yi survived the three generations of emperors of the Cao family, and he was waiting for the day when he could ascend the throne.
Opportunities are always for those who are prepared, what Sima Yi has spent his life planning for, is there any reason why he will not succeed?
Although Cao Liang did not know what was going on in the dormitory, there was still some bright news spreading, Jiang Ji replaced Xiahou Xian as the leading general, and Cao Yan replaced Qin Lang as the general of the cavalry.
These two appointments did not set off any waves, and after Xiahou Xian, Qin Lang and others were dismissed, someone would definitely come to replace them.
Jiang Ji previously held the position of general of the army, and his promotion to the leading general this time was almost logical.
And Cao Yan, who had previously served as a leading general, was reinstated and transferred to the position of Xiaocai general, although it was one grade lower than before, but it was not unexpected.
The promotion and downfall of officials is a normal thing, after all, Cao Yan has the qualifications of a leading general, no one will question whether Cao Yan's decision is correct, and maybe some people regret Cao Yan for him, this time he was not able to reinstate the official.
However, in Cao Liang's opinion, Cao Liang's appointment as General Xiaocai and Cao Rong's secret edict last night are completely unusual.
The Xiaocai Battalion is one of the five battalions of the Chinese Army, and is known as the five elite troops of the Chinese Army together with the four battalions of Wuwei, Zhongjian, Zhongli and Guerrilla, and is the main ace of the Cao Wei army.
Although the general Xiaocai is only a four-rank general, he is definitely a powerful faction with military power, Cao Rong put Cao Yan in this position, and then gave him a secret edict, and the heart of reliance is self-evident.
After all, in the history books, after Cao Rong's death, Cao Yan did not get any appointment, and as for the secret edict, it was even more unheard of.
Therefore, Cao Liang faintly felt that all this was the change brought about by his own crossing.
Isn't there a theory called the "butterfly effect"? It is said that a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest in South America could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
Although the butterfly effect sounds ridiculous, it is actually reasonable, and a seemingly trivial thing is likely to make a huge difference in the end after a series of changes and amplification under certain conditions.
Cao Liang felt like a little butterfly, inadvertently intruding into the maze of the Three Kingdoms, although he was insignificant and as small as a particle of dust, but his arrival still set off even a little bit of a slight wave after all.
Cao's performance as the general of Xiaocai is the best proof of this.
The history of the monolith is still because of the arrival of Cao Liang, and there is a trace of cracks.
Although this rift is still inconspicuous and far from attracting the attention of others and even political enemies, the rift is a rift after all, and Cao Liang knows that the embankment of thousands of miles may be destroyed in the anthill, and this rift may not be able to turn things around in the future.
The butterfly's wings have flapped, although it is still far away from causing a hurricane, but these small changes have added a lot of confidence to Cao Liang, and it seems that the defeat of Sima Shi may not be out of reach, as long as he is given enough time, Cao Liang believes that he will definitely realize his long-cherished wish.
Now that this storm is inevitable, let's make it more violent!
Sima Yi is in a high position, and it seems that it is difficult to shake it, but Cao Liang has Cao Liang's advantage, that is, Sima Yi is in the light, he is in the dark, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, Cao Liang still has almost ten years of opportunities to bring down Sima Yi.
Sima Yi's biggest opponent now can only be Cao Shuang alone, obviously, he will also put all his energy into dealing with Cao Shuang.
And Cao Liang, who was standing beside him, Sima Yi didn't seem to have looked at it squarely, after all, a small Yu Linlang also fell into the eyes of the high-ranking and powerful Sima Yi.
The disparity in status is a disadvantage and an advantage, Cao Liang can use a long time to plan, specifically for Sima Yi to prepare, and Sima Yi's indifference to Cao Liang and his ant-like attitude are destined to make him not have any wariness towards Cao Liang.
Maybe when Sima Yi suddenly discovers that Cao Liang has become his lifelong enemy in the future, it will be too late to regret it.
Cao Liang looked in the direction of the Jiafu Palace, the hall was silent, and no sound could be heard, and at this moment, in the palace, except for a few teams of guards patrolling back and forth, almost no one moved.
Quiet, even depressing, pervades the entire palace, solemn.
Even Zhang Tong, who is usually the most talkative, is silent at the moment, and everyone seems to be waiting for a result.
It's just that no one knows when this result will come.
