Cao Yan said with a straight face: "When foreign enemies invade, the country will die, and this is the time when the society is in danger." ”

Cao Liang nodded with understanding, and said: "At present, the only foreign enemies of my Great Wei are Western Shu and Eastern Wu, but with the strength of Shu and Wu alone, if you want to threaten the society of Great Wei, I am afraid it will be difficult and difficult. Presumably, when the first emperor left a secret edict, he also knew very well that the real threat to the Great Wei Sheji did not come from Wu and Shu. ”

Cao Yan's so-called words about the danger of the society were originally said casually, perhaps in his cognition, unless the country has reached this step of the field, it is difficult to call it the time of the danger of the society.

However, since Cao Ei left a secret edict, it must have a purpose, such a major matter, if Cao Ei is not carefully considered, how can he do it?

Cao Rong is a generation of Ming Jun, smart and wise, and far-sighted, but unfortunately his destiny is not blessed and he died young. Since he is the emperor of Ming, how can he not know what the great enemy of Wei is, whether it is Shu or Wu, they have no ability to subvert Wei Sheji, so what is the purpose of Cao Rong to give a secret edict so solemnly?

Cao Yan fell into deep contemplation at this moment, indeed, when he accepted the edict, he only knew how to act according to orders, and did not dare to disobey in the slightest, but he never thought about what was the real purpose of Cao Yan's edict, and when was it the time when the society was in danger?

Presumably, when Cao Rong wrote this edict, his heart was already full of open fire.

Cao Liang saw that Cao Yan did not speak, so he said: "How wise the first emperor is, since he issued a secret edict, it must be that he concluded that Cao's Jiangshan Sheji is in danger, and now it seems that it is not an external enemy, then it is an internal trouble, my father thinks, who is likely to become an internal trouble in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty now?" ”

There is no such thing in the world for no reason, since Cao Rong saw the existence of the crisis, there will be the birth of the secret edict, and the secret edict was given to Cao Yan, just to prevent the powerful ministers from seeking to usurp the throne.

The minister who can really threaten the government is a person who can be counted in the palm of his hand, and now the most powerful person in the court is naturally Cao Shuang, but Cao Shuang is very capable, Cao Yan is naturally very clear, not to mention that Cao Shuang himself is the Cao family, if it were not for this relationship, Cao Rong would not have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

So obviously, Sima Yi, another high-ranking auxiliary minister, has become the object of suspicion, is he really the internal trouble in Cao Rong's eyes?

But if Cao Rong believes that Sima Yi is an internal trouble, then why do you still entrust him with a heavy responsibility and entrust him to assist the government? Why didn't Cao Yi kill Sima Yi before he died, so as to prevent future troubles?

Seeing that Cao Yan was still groaning, Cao Liang smiled and said: "Presumably, my father already has the answer in his heart, but he doesn't dare to be sure easily, there are no outsiders here today, you and my father and son can speak freely, even if they guess wrong, it doesn't hurt." The child thinks that the person targeted by the emperor's secret edict is Sima Yi, I wonder if his father also thinks so? ”

Cao Yan nodded lightly, if he had to find a person suspected of internal trouble from the list of ministers of the imperial court, then Sima Yi was the best choice, because apart from this, Cao Yan really couldn't find a second person with both ambition and power.

Cao Liang smiled slightly, and said: "The first emperor gave his father a secret edict, just to deal with the rebel ministers and thieves, suppose, if Sima Yi wants to rebel, and the society reaches the moment of life and death, how will my father deal with it?" ”

Cao Yan said generously: "Fight to the death for my father to lead the cavalry battalion to eradicate the rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

Cao Liang said: "If Sima Yi wants to rebel, it must be fully prepared, over the years, Sima Yi has formed a coalition with his henchmen, won over the family, raised the dead, and cultivated his cronies, he has long been a tree with deep roots, does my father really think that he can compete with the Sima family with only the strength of the cavalry battalion?" ”

Cao Yan said with some hesitation: "General Cao Shuang has a heavy army, can he sit idly by?" ”

When it comes to Cao Shuang, Cao Liang can only be hehe, Cao Shuang does have a heavy army, but so what, isn't it a defeat in the end, counting on Cao Shuang, the sow can also go up the tree.

"If Cao Shuang really had the courage, he should have killed Sima Yi a long time ago, but it's a pity that the straw bag is just a straw bag after all, and it is useless, otherwise why would the first emperor appoint Cao Shuang as a general, and then issue a secret edict to his father, I am afraid that in the eyes of the first emperor, a single Cao Shuang is far from being able to balance Sima Yi."

Cao Yan said with understanding: "The reason why my son revitalized the Yue cavalry camp must also be to cultivate an army that can compete with the Sima family. Cao Yan thought of Cao Liang's performance after returning to Luoyang this time, in order to rebuild the Yueqi camp, it can be called painstaking, and it was also to deal with the crisis, Cao Yan didn't expect Cao Liang to think of his front, and he was very pleased.

Cao Liang shook his head and said: "It's not enough, it's far from enough, the current Sima family's huge power is almost unimaginable, and relying on the Xiao Cavalry Camp and the Yue Cavalry Camp alone is not enough to compete with the Sima family." If my father wants to fulfill the last wish of the emperor, he has to think of another way. ”

"Oh, is there anything else you can do?"

Cao Liang said firmly: "Of course, even if Sima Yi covers all the wealthy families in the world, there are always some wealthy families who are unwilling to cooperate with the Sima family, they are afraid of getting caught on fire, and they are worried that their huge family will be implicated." These wealthy families are the objects that my father wants to fight for. For example, the Taishan goat family, they had the opportunity to marry the Sima family, and the same qi branches, but at this time they have broken with the Sima family, and the situation is the same as water and fire, which is where we can make use of it, if we miss this opportunity, let the sheep family fall back to the Sima family, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

At this time, Cao Yan suddenly realized, dared to love Cao Liang for a long time, went around in a big circle, is he waiting for him here?

In the final analysis, Cao Liang still worked so hard for Yang Huiyu, but the fox's tail was still exposed.

However, this time Cao Yan did not refute it directly, because what Cao Liang said was reasonable.

The secret edict is a top priority for Cao Yan, nothing can be compared with it, even if it is related to the dignity of the Gaoling Marquis's Mansion, it cannot be compared, in order to fulfill the last wish of the first emperor, Cao Yan can do it at all costs, even his own life.

Sima Yi is undoubtedly his number one enemy, how to deal with this big enemy, Cao Yan really has no bottom in his heart, compared with the powerful Sima family, the Xiao cavalry battalion, known as the world's sharpest, may really be nothing, Sima Yi stands behind him, but more than half of the corporal family in the world, this is the real capital of the Sima family who dares to rebel, without the support of so many scholars, the Sima family is nothing.
