Although Cao Qing is from a noble background, she is favored by Cao Cao after all, unlike Mi Zhen, who has been in the mall for a long time and has insight into people's hearts.

"Or what does Madame think?"

Yang Ling stroked her smooth back and sighed slightly.

As Mi Zhen said, the reason why Cao Pi named Yang Ling as a duke was ostensibly to show honor, but in fact, it made people all over the world feel that Yang Ling was like Cao Cao back then, with a heart of usurpation.

Yang Ling, this is extremely wronged!

Back then, Boss Cao was a heavy soldier and powerful, forcing Liu Xie to seal him Duke Wei.

And now that Yang Ling has no soldiers and no power, Cao Pi is just going to roast him on the fire!

"So what are we going to do?"

Cao Qing held Yang Ling's hand and said a little nervously.

"Madam, if one day, the husband wants to break with His Majesty, what will Madame do then?"

Yang Ling said with a serious face.

Cao Qing hesitated for a moment, her beautiful eyes were firm,

"The concubine should advance and retreat with her husband!"

Although she and Cao Pi are sisters and brothers who are related by blood, Yang Ling is her husband.

The two fell in love for a long time and had a son, Yang Yuan.

Moreover, Yang Ling has done his best to the Cao family, and Cao Pi is pressing him step by step.

In this case, how could Cao Qing still be on Cao Pi's side?

"With the words of the lady, the husband is relieved."

Yang Ling smiled, followed the conversation, and comforted,

"Don't worry, madam, it's not that far."

Cao Qing nodded obediently.

Glancing at the sky, Yang Ling smiled evilly,

"It's still early, two ladies, why don't we hurry up?"

In the exclamation of the second daughter, Yang Ling bullied herself again.

……

In the next few days, Yang Ling was also rare to be leisurely.

On weekdays, he either accompanies his wife, concubine and children at home, or makes appointments with Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others to drink and have fun.

And his every move was reported to Cao Pi by the spies of the school government.

"This Yang Ling knows how to advance and retreat!"

In the palace, after listening to the spies' report, Cao Pi let out a sneer.

His complexion softened, and he said with some hesitation,

"Zhongda, since Yang Ling is so peaceful and self-contained, why don't you let him go?"

Although Cao Pi was a little cautious, he was not a fool.

He also knew very well that if he tampered with Yang Ling, he was afraid that it would cause turmoil in the government!

The reason why Sima Yi wanted to assist Cao Pi to ascend the throne was not only for the glory and wealth of the Sima family, but also to take revenge on Yang Ling's previous humiliation!

Hearing that Cao Pi was going to fight back the party drum, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But he still forced his composure on the surface, and said lightly,

"Your Majesty is right. I didn't expect Your Majesty to be so broad-minded that he could leave all the unpleasantness of the past behind. ”

It's good that Sima Yi didn't say that, as soon as he said this, Cao Pi instantly remembered all kinds of grievances with Yang Ling before.

It was because of Yang Ling that Cao Cao drove him back to his hometown in Qian County.

If it weren't for the death of his brother Cao Ang due to illness, he would probably not have had the opportunity to return to Xudu in his life.

and his favorite Queen Guo, who was also admitted to the room by Yang Ling!

Thinking of this, Cao Pi's eyes lit up with anger!

"No, just let him go, it's a bit cheap! Zhong Da thinks, how to start? ”

"Yang Ling has a very high prestige in the DPRK, and he must be taken slowly!"

Sima Yi said softly,

"Let's get rid of his wings first, starting with his generals!"

Cao Pi's face was ruthless, and he nodded heavily,

"Okay, just do as you say!"

……

General's Palace.

Yang Ling is taking his children and feeding the pigeons in the backyard.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and Yang Ling looked up, but it was Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun who walked in.

"Big brother!"

"How are you so free today?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

"Big brother, it's a big deal in the court, why are you still in the mood to feed the pigeons?"

Xu Chu hurriedly roared.

Yang Ling glanced at the maids on the side, and motioned for them to take Yang Yuan and the others down first, and then said with a smile,

"What makes you so nervous?"

After a few people sat down in a pavilion, Xu Chu couldn't wait to say,

"We have just learned the news that the military division and Xingba have been transferred back from Jiangdong by a holy decree from His Majesty. At this moment they are meeting His Majesty in the palace. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

When Jiang Wei heard this, he was immediately anxious,

"General Gan, they are all close associates of the teacher, Your Majesty transferred them back for no reason, there must be ghosts among them!"

"Yes...... yes, I heard...... Your Majesty rewarded them under the pretext of rewarding them, but in fact, he relieved them of their military powers, and the people who placed them were all idle! ”

Deng Ai on the side also nodded.

In the eyes of Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, Dian Wei and others, Yang Ling and Cao Pi have always had grievances.

And now that Cao Pi has summoned Gan Ning and the others back to Xudu, it is very likely that he intends to attack Yang Ling!

"You are all speculations, and there is no real evidence."

Yang Ling smiled and said disapprehantly,

"Since Xingba and the military advisor are back, you might as well wait for them to meet Your Majesty, and then ask them to come to the mansion for dinner together!"

Seeing that his expression was understated, Dian Wei and the others glanced at each other, and had to sigh helplessly.

After a while, after meeting Cao Pi in person, Pang Tong, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Wei Yan and others gathered in Yangling Mansion.

Sure enough, as Deng Ai heard, Cao Pi arranged idle positions for Pang Tong and others in the name of promotion!

Looking at the sullen crowd, Yang Ling smiled and raised his glass and said,

"Now that we can reunite in Xudu, it can be regarded as a happy event."

"The unpleasantness of the past, just put it behind for the time being, come, let us drink this cup together!"

Everyone had to suppress the depression in their hearts and drank it all one after another.

Just when Yang Ling was drinking and having fun with everyone, a subordinate in his mansion quietly left the general's mansion while everyone was unprepared.

After a while, a piece of bamboo was placed on the case in front of Cao Pi.

Looking at the sketches of Yang Ling banqueting Gan Ning and others on the bamboo slices, Cao Pi's face was a little gloomy.

Seeing this, Sima Yi on the side added oil and vinegar to the tunnel,

"Fortunately, Your Majesty made a quick decision to summon all these people back."

"Otherwise, with Yang Ling's prestige among these people, it is difficult to say that there will be no chaos in the future!"

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing for emperors is that their subordinates form parties for personal gain, threatening the imperial power!

And Pang Tong and Gan Ning went straight to Yangling's mansion after seeing Cao Pi.

How can this not make Cao Pi feel taboo?

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he commanded in a cold voice,

"How's Zhongda preparing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is ready!"

"That's good!"

Cao Pi sneered,

"The day after tomorrow is the court meeting, and all civil and military officials will come to participate, so let's start at that time!"

"Subordinates obey!"

Sima Yi was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he became more and more respectful.
