Cao Liang smiled slightly and said: "The battle for power seems to be calm, but in fact it is a turbulent sea. It is more cruel and cruel than the swords and spears on the battlefield. Often a single move affects the whole body, and a wrong step can lead to eternal disaster.

!You two have been in the official career for a long time. I don’t need to explain this truth, and you can see it more clearly than I do. Now the situation in the court has gradually become clearer. The general and Sima Taifu are already in the same situation. The reason why the general dares to confront

If the Sima family makes a move, it proves that they have already made full preparations. Judging from the current situation, who is strong and weak, who succeeds and who fails, they must have a clear mind. If the Yang family made the wrong bet this time

,Then the consequences...haha..."

Yang Dan and Yang Mi looked at each other. They were in the officialdom. How could they not know the dangers of officialdom? Although they could not reach the pinnacle of power, they still had to face the problem of choosing sides. This was a fatal fate.

Multiple choice question, how many wealthy families that were once prosperous ended up disintegrating because they were on the wrong team and chose the wrong person.

And taking sides doesn't mean you don't have to choose if you don't want to. The political situation will often force you to make a choice, and in many cases there is no way out. If you make a wrong move, you may be doomed.

The Yang family was faced with such a decision. Between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi, they had to make a choice. Although they were optimistic about Sima Yi beforehand, what Cao Liang said made Yang Dan and Yang Mi hesitate again.

Woke up.

Originally, Sima Yi and Cao Shuang were evenly matched in power in the court. Although Cao Shuang occupied the title of chief minister, his foundation was still shallow after all, and it was difficult to compare with the Sima family, which had deep-rooted disciples and former officials all over the world. In addition, Cao Shuang's background

There is a natural gap between the Cao family and the aristocratic families, so the Yang family naturally leaned towards the Sima family in their initial choice.

However, Cao Shuang's aggressive attitude after taking office had to draw people's attention. He continuously carried out power grabs and placed many close confidants in the Chinese Army and Shangshu Province, gradually taking over the military and political power in the DPRK.

It's in your own hands.

On the other hand, Sima Yi took a tolerant and evasive attitude. Sima Yi's appointment as Tai Tu was a conspiracy. The Tai Tu was also the emperor's teacher. Although he was ranked above the three princes, he did not have the real power of the three princes. He was given to an eight-year-old baby as the emperor.

Teacher, what power do you have?

Cao Shuang accepted Sima Yi as his tutor, obviously with the intention of ousting Sima Yi. However, Sima Yi retreated step by step, and the strength of both sides waxed and waned. Suddenly, Cao Shuang had already surpassed Sima Yi.

The previous fights in the court were nothing more than secret contests. Whether it was a matter of giving in to others or using sweet words, at the very least, harmony could be maintained on the surface.

But this wedding incident seems to be sending a signal to people, that is, Cao Shuang is finally going to break up with Sima Yi. On the wedding day, he will take the groom away and throw him in jail. This is not only an outright act.

Slap the Sima family in the face and send a clear signal to people that the Cao Shuang Group is preparing to launch a general attack on the Sima family.

Thinking of this, Yang Danyang secretly broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the marriage with the Sima family was not successful this time. Otherwise, the Sima family's boat would capsize and the Yang family would not be spared.

Yang Dan looked at Cao Liang with much softer eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Cao, the two of us were not careful about the matter and almost caused a disaster. Now that things have happened, I wonder if there is still room for maneuver?"

Cao Liang chuckled lightly and said: "Is there room for maneuver? Of course there is, but the two uncles should know the truth of being constantly rebellious. Now that the general is pressing hard, if he kills Sima Shi again,

If you do this, it is equivalent to cutting off one of Sima Yi's arms. The Sima family may be defeated in just a moment. At this time, the forces attached to the Sima family have long been avoiding it. The Yang family wants to distance themselves from the Sima family.

In order to maintain a good relationship, I should at least return the bride price, terminate the engagement, show the world my attitude of breaking with the Sima family, and draw a clear line, so that I can speak to the general."

Cao Liang was completely talking nonsense at this moment, deceiving Yang Dan and Yang Mi. Fortunately, Cao Shuang was in power at this moment, and the Sima family was completely suppressed. Yang Dan and Yang Mi naturally believed this.

As for the future results, only Cao Liang knew it in his heart. How could Yang Dan and Yang Mi know that the situation would suddenly reverse after the Gaoping Ling Incident?

"Are you serious?" Yang Dan couldn't help but look happy when he heard Cao Liang say that he could help talk to Cao Shuang. You must know that after Cao Shuang came to power, he only relied on people from his clan and close confidants, and other wealthy families tried to win over him.

Even if the Yang family wanted to curry favor with Cao Shuang, they would have no chance.

If Cao Liang can really help the Yang family get Cao Shuang's attention, then the rapid rise of the Yang family will not be just around the corner.

Cao Liang curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I and the general are treated as brothers after all. Does Yang Tai often think that because my official position is low and my position is light, I can't have a relationship with the general?"

Yang Dan had indeed had such thoughts before. After all, Cao Liang was just a small Qimen supervisor. Hearing what Cao Liang said, he blushed a little and said quickly: "I didn't mean this. Mr. Cao must not

Misunderstand."

Yang Dan and Yang Mi are convinced of Cao Liang's words at this moment. Cao Liang and Cao Shuang are indeed of the same generation in terms of seniority. It is not an exaggeration to call them brothers. Moreover, they are far and near within the clan.

I don’t know much about it, but thinking about Cao Liang’s actions this time, Yang Dan Yang Mi will not doubt the relationship between Cao Liang and Cao Shuang.

Yang Mi said: "The two of us will go back and make a plan. Tomorrow we will return the betrothal gift to the Sima family and terminate the engagement."

Cao Liang nodded and said: "It is better not to delay this matter quickly, otherwise things will change if it is too late."

"No." Yang Dan raised his hand and said yes. Yang Dan tentatively asked Cao Liang: "In that case, can Mr. Cao let Huiyu return to Yang Mansion? If she stays in your mansion for a long time, her reputation will be ruined.

It’s in the way.”

Although in the current situation, Yang Dan and Yang Mi also recognized the matter between Cao Liang and Yang Huiyu, recognition is recognition. Before the ceremony, Yang Huiyu was living in Cao Mansion without any explanation. It is true that

It has a great impact on the reputation of the Yang family.

Therefore, Yang Dan still hopes that Yang Huiyu can return to the Yang family. As for how Cao Yang will develop after canceling the marriage to the Sima family, that is another story.

However, after all this trouble, probably no one from the aristocratic families in Luoyang would dare to marry Yang Huiyu.
