After the announcement of the evil spirit, he arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye Cao, Your Majesty has told you in many ways, this secret edict is a major matter related to the society, please keep it secret, and you must not disclose it to anyone, and you can't open it until the time when the community is in danger, can you understand?" ”

Cao Yan said in a deep voice: "Please tell Your Majesty that acting is a bloody performance, and it will not lose Your Majesty's hope." ”

The evil spirit nodded and said: "Your Majesty knows that Hou Ye is a loyal and upright person, so he entrusted the secret edict to Hou Ye, and our family believes that Hou Ye can live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

"Don't worry, Cao Yanren is in the secret edict, and the person is dead!"

Warding off evil spirits nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Cao Yan's promise, he glanced at Cao Liang behind him, and said, "This is Ling Lang?" ”

Cao Yan said: "It is the dog Cao Liang. ”

He bowed his head slightly and said: "The tiger father has no dogs, he is really a talent, and he will be a great weapon in the future." ”

Cao Yan smiled and said: "The big internal official is polite, it is difficult for Xiao Zi to become a climate, which makes the internal official smile." The big internal official also invited him to take a seat, and a certain person prepared a little thin wine, and he was drunk with him. ”

He shook his head and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, it's just that Your Majesty's dragon body is slightly ill, our family doesn't dare to delay, since the decree has been completed, our family will return to the palace immediately, please Lord Hou do it himself." ”

Cao Yanzi didn't dare to force him to stay, and wanted to personally send the evil spirits out of the house.

The evil spirits immediately stopped: "Our family came this time, and they disguised themselves in disguise, just to hide people's eyes, so that Hou Ye Cao didn't have to send him off." Remember, we must not mention our family's arrival today to anyone. ”

With that, he arched his hand, put the hat of the cloak on his head, and floated away.

Cao Yan stood in place in amazement, he couldn't figure out why Cao Rong suddenly thought of himself when he was seriously ill and gave a secret edict.

Although Cao Yan did not know the content of the secret edict, since Cao Yi sent his henchmen and eunuchs to come and acted in such a confidential manner, it was enough to prove that the weight of this secret edict was quite heavy.

But now he is just a third-class marquis who is idle at home, and he is not a prominent minister in the court, why did Cao Rong choose to hand over such an important secret edict to himself?

Cao Yan was a little puzzled.

Cao Liang came over, looked at the secret edict sealed with fire paint in Cao Yan's hand, and said, "Father, what is the content of this secret edict given by His Majesty?" ”

"How can a father know?"

"That's not easy, father, open it now, won't it be clear at a glance?" Cao Liang instigated, the key is that Cao Liang also wants to know what is inside this secret edict.

Cao Yan glared at him and said: "Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized in your oracle that you must not open the secret edict until the society is in danger, and it is not a crime to deceive the monarch if you let your father open the secret edict now." ”

Cao Yan is a little angry, whose son would be so cheating on him, opening the secret edict that the emperor repeatedly explained that he could not open, this is not the crime of killing the head, and if he can't keep it, he has to connect the three clans.

Cao Yan stuffed the secret edict into his arms, saving Cao Liang from remembering it again: "Let me tell you, you don't remember the secret edict, this secret edict is related to the lives of our whole family, and there is no room for error." ”

With the secret edict in hand, Cao Yan didn't feel excited, but felt that this secret edict was like a hot potato, he didn't dare to throw it away, and he didn't keep it, as if his peaceful life was suddenly screwed to pieces by this secret edict.

It's just that Cao Yan never figured out why the Son of Heaven chose him?

Cao Liang is also more inexplicable, Cao Yan is a third-class marquis who is idle at home (the first class is the county marquis, the second class is the township marquis, and the third class is the pavilion marquis), and he has no sense of existence in the court before, how could Cao Ei give him such an important secret edict before he died, could it be related to a conversation between himself and Cao Ei this afternoon?

Thinking of this, Cao Liang shook his head secretly, this is almost impossible, even after a short contact this afternoon, Cao Liang can see that Cao Liang is actually a very assertive person, such a major and top-secret thing as the secret edict, who to give it to, it must be carefully considered, and he will never see Cao Liang and give the secret edict to Cao Yan.

Cao Liang didn't bother to think about what he couldn't figure out, but he really wanted to see what this secret edict was, whether it was a big treasure, or what kind of edict, or something else?

But Cao Yan treated the secret edict as a treasure, hid it tightly in his arms, and didn't dare to open it, Cao Liang had no choice but to let him go.

Cao Yan commanded with a serious face: "Liang'er, only you and I know about this secret edict, and you must not tell it to others, even if it is your mother, you must not let her know." ”

He paused, as if he was afraid that Cao Liang would misunderstand something, and said: "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from your mother, it's just a secret edict, which is very important, and even implicates the life of the family, I don't want your mother to know, but also afraid that she will be frightened, some things, with our men to take responsibility, it is enough!" ”

After speaking, Cao Yan patted Cao Liang's shoulder heavily, his eyes were very solemn, but he was also full of trust.

Cao Liang suddenly felt that there was a warm current wandering in his heart, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, if he is a man, he must be responsible, maybe in Cao Yan's mind, he has regarded his son who has just passed the weak crown as a real man.

It's a trust, but it's also an expectation.

This secret edict, in Cao Liang's eyes, may be wealth, or power, but the experienced Cao Yan can see something deeper, it is responsibility, and it contains a crisis.

Because Cao Rong said very clearly, until the time when the society is in danger, this secret edict cannot be opened, what is the time when the society is in danger, that is, the traitors rebelled, the dynasty was overthrown, and the national situation had reached a time when it was out of control.

Cao Yan naturally couldn't know when this time would come, all he could do was wait silently.

Cao Liang was different, when he heard the words "Sheji is in danger", the record of the Gaopingling Incident immediately burst out of his mind.

Could it be that when Cao Yi wrote the secret edict, he had already foreseen that Sima Yi would rebel?

If this is the case, then Cao Wei really lives up to his talent and foresight, but it is a pity that the destiny is not blessed, but such a smart person is so short-lived, otherwise, Cao Wei would have died in the hands of the Sima family.

Cao Liang faintly felt that although Cao Ei had no choice but to push Sima Yi to the position of the minister of Gu Ming, Cao Ei still kept his back hand to prevent Sima Yi, and this secret edict was proof, which undoubtedly added a lot of bargaining chips to himself when fighting against Sima Yi's father and son.
