Chapter 1602 Flattery on the horse's hoof
At this time, Cao Liang had just taken his mother, wife and children back to Luoyang. Gaoling Hou Mansion was fine, but Sima Shi blocked him. No one had lived there for many years, and it seemed a bit broken. However, Cao Liang had arranged for craftsmen to renovate it, not to be magnificent, just restore it to its original state.
Liu Ying seemed particularly happy. She was forced to leave Luoyang and left the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, where she had lived for decades. Liu Ying was inexplicably heavy. Coupled with Cao Yan's death when she left Luoyang, she felt even more melancholy. Although she lived in Jinyang very well, Cao Liang also built a mansion residence that was almost exactly the same as Luoyang Gaoling Marquis Mansion, but she could not comfort Liu Ying's heart.
Now that she has returned to Luoyang and returned to Gaoling Marquis' Mansion, everything is so familiar and unfamiliar. Liu Ying can't help but burst into tears. She really can't believe that she could still return here in her lifetime.
Cao Liang comforted him with kind words, but Liu Ying finally calmed down. Things changed. Cao Yan's corpse was cold. Everything in the past could not come back. Fortunately, his son was very successful and could achieve such great achievements, which was enough to comfort his father's spirit in heaven.
Yang Huiyu and Sima Ru did not have any special feelings, but over the years, they and Cao Liang have been together for a long time. Cao Liang is busy with military affairs and is fighting outside for many years. This time, when returning to Luoyang means that the world is stable, they can stay with Cao Liang for more time and share the joy of family.
At this moment, the servants came to report and Pei Xiu and others met.
Gaoling Hou Mansion is just Cao Liang's private residence. Now Cao Liang's office is chosen at the former Shangshu Desk. Logically speaking, if Pei Xiu and the others have something to say, they should go to Lantai Pavilion and run directly to his residence. Is there any important military information?
Cao Liang ordered Pei Xiu and others to come in. After Pei Xiu stepped forward to salute him, he handed over the memorial. Cao Liang took a look at him, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Ji Yan, what do you mean?"
Pei Xiu said with excitement on his face and said endlessly: "The lord raised an army from Bingzhou to attack Sima's traitors. He has made great achievements and virtues to the world. He has favored all over the world. Now that the Wei family is in danger and the country is in ruins, the lord should follow the public's wishes and inherit the throne. This is the blessing of all officials and the blessing of all people."
Cao Liang snorted coldly, abandoned the memorial to the ground, and said angrily: "Ji Yan, you are trying to trap me in a place of unfaithfulness and unrighteousness. I am a Wei minister. I am trying to eliminate traitors and help the country. It is a matter of duty. How can I use this to seek credit for the world? Just like when I was held hostage by Sima's thief, it was a time of distress. I proclaimed myself to be the emperor in Luoyang, so how can I distinguish myself from the usurper? People come and bombard them. If anyone dares to say this stolen usurper again in the future, I will be punished without forgiveness!"
Pei Xiu and others were driven out of Gaoling Marquis' Mansion in a shameless manner. This scene was seen by Xiahou Xuan, who had just arrived in Luoyang, and smiled and said, "Lord, Ji Yan and the others have good intentions, why do you need to get angry?"
Cao Liang was still angry and said, "Pei Xiu and the others were simply baking me on fire. They just took Luoyang and were eager to become emperor. How do people in the world view it? To join forces with me to conquer the world, just to usurp the throne? How disappointing this is to the public in the world."
Xiahou Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I don't think that Qin lost his deer and the world will chase him. This world is a kind of virtuous person. If the lord had not defeated the Sima family by his own strength, I was afraid that the Cao family's country would have been stolen by the Sima family. Therefore, the lord's world was not usurped, but was made with one sword and one gun. Pei Xiu's statement also represents a kind of people's heart. I hope the lord can think more about it instead of killing him in one fell swoop."
Xiahou Xuan's weight is obviously higher than Pei Xiu and others. Cao Liang did not expect Xiahou Xuan would openly support him to become emperor. Logically speaking, Xiahou Xuan was also a royal family member, so how could he not know the importance of bloodline? Cao Liang's grandfathers Cao Chun and Cao Cao were just brothers of the clan, and they were typical branches of the common people. Logically, Cao Liang did not have the qualifications to inherit the throne.
Moreover, Cao Liang's entry into Luoyang was quite low-key. He ordered the army to ban the palace. Except for some servants responsible for cleaning, all other officials and officials were prohibited from entering the palace. In order to avoid suspicion, Cao Liang never stepped into the palace, so he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation and slander Cao Liang for being willing to usurp the throne.
Cao Liang is now in power and has troops in his hands. If he wants to become emperor, it is just a matter of a simple task. However, Cao Liang is unwilling to let the world criticize him, so he deliberately deals with these matters in a low-key manner. Unexpectedly, Pei Xiu will take the initiative to put on the ground. This is clearly a matter of putting Cao Liang on the fire. How to prevent Cao Liang from being angry and bombing them out is light. It is reasonable to punish each person with a heavy punishment of 100 military sticks, and see if they dare to do it again in the future.
Cao Liang smiled bitterly and said, "If I am still in Chang'an today, if I proclaim myself to be emperor, wouldn't it be wrong to stay there for two days? This is all that matter, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future."
Xiahou Xuan said: "If the emperor dies or is deposed, then will the lord have the intention to be emperor?"
Cao Liang didn't seem to have thought of this problem. He was silent for a moment and said, "Do your best and see the destiny."
Xiahou Xuan did not ask any more questions, but just smiled slightly. Perhaps he had the answer he wanted in his heart.
Pei Xiu and others were scolded by Cao Liang, and returned to Lantai Pavilion dejectedly. When they saw Huan Fan, they said, "It was still the military advisor who said so much. Our advice was not only unhappy, but also very angry. It was really boring to make things happen."
The old god Huan Fan smiled and said, "Someone said you were too anxious, but you didn't believe it. This time, I just flattered the horse's hooves. Even if the lord has the intention to be emperor, it is definitely not now. You go there rashly. Isn't this going to trap the lord in a place of unkindness and unfaithfulness and unfaithfulness? No wonder the lord was furious. Fortunately, you are all the lord's loyal ministers, otherwise you would not be able to stand this lord today."
Pei Xiu widened his eyes. Huan Fan is worthy of being a think tank. He is really a god. Everything is as if he had seen it with his own eyes. However, he was still a little unwilling to give up and asked: "In the words of the military advisor, we are too anxious. According to the views of the military advisor, when is the best time? Now that the lord has taken over Luoyang and has captured most of the world. Is the time still not ripe now? When will we wait?"
Huan Fan smiled and said, "This is the secret of heaven, and naturally it is the secret of heaven that cannot be revealed."
