Sima Yi's choice of matchmaker is very particular, on the one hand, it can't be a person from his own lineage, and on the other hand, it can't be a person from Cao Shuang's faction, and this person's position in the court can't be too low, otherwise, people will not be able to broker this marriage.

In fact, this marriage, from beginning to end, is just Sima Yi painted a big cake for Cao Liang, on the surface, the Sima family married the daughter of the long house to Cao Liang as a side room, and made compromises, but in fact, Sima Yi was planning to win Cao Liang's trust and eliminate Cao Liang's vigilance, and did not intend to really marry Sima Ru to the past.

In fact, the Sima family and Cao Liang have been friends for a long time, and now they want to send their daughter to Cao Liang as a side room, which is just Sima Yi's wishful thinking for the time being, and Cao Liang has to find a matchmaker to agree.

So if you want to promote this family affair, the matchmaker is extremely important and critical, and He Zeng is obviously a more suitable candidate, after all, in the first years, He Zeng did not take refuge in the forces of that side, but was independent, clean and self-conscious, and had a good reputation, and he was the matchmaker, at least he had no worries.

After Sima Yi proposed, Sima Shi immediately agreed, and immediately went to He Zeng's mansion to ask He Zeng to be the matchmaker.

He Zeng expressed surprise at Sima Shi's arrival, after all, he has always been innocent and independent, and does not form gangs with others.

Sima Shi explained the intention, He Zeng was very surprised, it stands to reason that with the status of the Sima family, the marriage daughter must be the position of the main wife, but this time Sima Shi's eldest daughter wants to make a side room for Cao Liang, which is really incredible.

However, he was surprised, but He Zeng was full of promises, after all, this was just a gesture, but he could make friends with the Sima family, which was in line with He Zeng's expectations.

Historically, after the Gaopingling Incident, He Zeng quickly changed his neutral position, quickly took refuge in the Sima family, and became the founding hero of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Obviously, at this time, He Zeng was not really independent, but both factions were not offended, and they saw the right time, loyal to the side that won the power, thinking that they would fight for a good future.

In the current situation in the DPRK and China, many people mistakenly think that Cao Shuang has gained power and have defected to him, but He Zeng has an extremely keen political sense and thinks that Sima Yi still has a chance to make a comeback.

Of course, when the situation is not clear, He Zeng will not easily express his attitude, because the price of standing on the wrong side is often the life of the whole family, and He Zeng does not dare to take this risk easily.

And to protect a matchmaker, but it has nothing to do with political standing, if this family matter is successful, He Zeng will also get the opportunity to get close to the Sima family because of this, such opportunities are not common.

He Zeng happily went to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion.

At this time, Cao Liang is idle at home and has nothing to do, of course, this idleness is also Cao Liang's show to others, in fact, Cao Liang is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, secretly deploying everything.

The information sent by Bai Lingyun shows that the Sima family has been stepping up its layout, although Cao Liang does not know when the coup will be launched, but it will definitely not be in the first ten years of the relatively distant future, maybe it will only take a few months for the Sima family to take action.

For Cao Liang, time is tight and the task is heavy, and it is when he is busy.

At this time, the subordinate came in to report, and He Zeng came to visit, which made Cao Liang puzzled, he and He Zeng had no friendship, and there was no contact, he suddenly came, and he didn't know what happened?

Although he was puzzled, Cao Liang still welcomed He Zeng into the middle hall very politely, and after a few cold words, He Zeng explained the purpose of the trip.

This time, Cao Liang was really dumbfounded, He Zeng was actually entrusted by the Sima family to come to talk about family affairs.

Sima Ru likes himself and has confessed, but Cao Liang thinks that it is just her wishful thinking, and Sima Yi and Sima Shi will not agree to fight to death, so for a period of time, Cao Liang has been respectful of Sima Ru, as long as he has the opportunity, he can hide as far as he can, Cao Liang feels that maybe after a while, under the pressure of his family, Sima Ru will dispel this idea.

But I didn't expect that He Zeng came here, but he was entrusted by Sima Shi to agree to this family matter, it is obvious that Sima Yi and Sima Shi both agreed to this family matter, how could this situation occur, Cao Liang was confused.

Since he met Yang Huiyu in Beibi Mountain, the relationship between Cao Liang and the Sima family has completely embarked on the road of no return, of course, only Cao Liang himself knows that even if there is no Yang Huiyu, it is impossible for him and the Sima family to coexist peacefully, this is a never-ending situation.

But what surprised Cao Liang was that Sima Ru was making a fuss, after all, she was a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, but how could the experienced Sima Yi and Sima Shi agree to this marriage, especially Sima Shi, every time they met, they looked bitter and hateful, and they couldn't wait to eat their flesh.

However, now He Zeng was commissioned by the Sima family, this matter cannot be 100% fake, could it be said that Sima Yi and Sima Shi have figured it out and want to improve the relationship between them through marriage.

Cao Liang didn't think about it, and refused in one bite: "The Mengzhong Protector is wrong to love, and I am not very scared, but there is a good wife in the family, and the so-called bad wife cannot be abandoned. ”

He Zeng said with a smile: "Cao Fuguo is too worried, and the Sima family has no intention of letting the general stop his wife and remarry, this time he is courting, and he just wants to marry Miss Sima to the general as a side room, with Cao Fuguo's identity, there are wives and no concubines in the family, it seems that he has lost his identity." Miss Sima has a deep affection for Cao Fuguo, and hopes that Cao Fuguo will not live up to it. ”

Cao Liang insisted on not accepting it: "I'm really sorry, I have a deep relationship with the clumsy Jing couple, and I raise my eyebrows, so I don't have the idea of taking a concubine, not to mention that Miss Sima is young and has unparalleled appearance, I don't know how many children of the family are flocking to her, so why bother to surrender their identity and come to the side room?" ”

He Zeng said: "What Miss Sima said, if you are not a gentleman, you will not marry, and the middle guard army loves her daughter very much, so there is such a thing as a marriage." What's more, with Sima Taifu's status in the court, if Cao Fuguo marries the Sima family, he will definitely be able to soar in the future, and the future is limitless. ”

He Zeng did have a clever mouth, if it weren't for Cao Liang's clear heart, maybe he would have been fooled by this matter.

Cao Liang was resolute and never agreed, He Zeng's repeated persuasion was ineffective, and in the end he could only retreat in a huff.
