Chapter 1648 The brain was also broken

Luoyang is not too far from the front line of the three major legions to fight, and there is basically no problem with fast horses going back and forth within one day. Of course, there is obviously not much time left for the governors to consider.

However, there seems to be nothing to consider. As Huan Fan planned, the nine generals responded quickly after receiving the letter, and the responses were completely consistent. They all expressed their willingness to support Cao Liang in unconditional proclaiming himself emperor.

The memorial signed by them was also sent back to Luoyang. Because of military affairs, it was impossible for the nine generals to return to Luoyang to participate in the joint memorial, but they would also use the memorial to support Huan Fan and others' actions.

After receiving the memorials from the nine generals, dozens of officials in the court, including Huan Fan, Xiahou Xuan, Pei Xiu, Fu Xuan, Lu Zhi, etc., went to Gaoling Hou Mansion to advise Cao Liang.

Since arriving in Luoyang, Cao Liang has been living in Gaoling Hou Mansion. Whenever he has something to do, he will go to the Director of the Shangshutai, mainly dealing with some major matters that need to be discussed before he can resolve. He usually reviews official documents and memorials, and usually takes place in Gaoling Hou Mansion.

Huan Fan did not choose to give advice at the Shangshutai, but went directly to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion. The most important thing was that Huan Fan did not treat this matter as a formal matter. After all, before Cao Liang nodded, the matter had not been decided, so it seemed not good to do this matter at the Shangshutai, so Huan Fan deliberately chose to arrive at the Gaoling Marquis Mansion before the sky was getting bright and before Cao Liang left.

Under normal circumstances, Cao Liang did not receive guests in Gaoling Hou Mansion. Even if his subordinates came to do business, they would only be accompanied by three or two people, and they never appeared in groups.

Now almost all the officials of higher levels in Luoyang City all went to Gaoling Marquis' Mansion. The scene was extremely huge. The manager of Gaoling Marquis' Mansion had never seen such a situation before, so he hurriedly reported it to Cao Liang to find out.

At this moment, Cao Liang was concentrating on the memorial in his study. The candle on the desk seemed to tell people that it was another sleepless night. Cao Liang reviewed the memorials that had been almost gone for a night and finally saw the last one.

Cao Liang put down his pen, stretched out his back for almost a night, and let out a long sigh. The memorials were finally reviewed and handed over to Lantai Pavilion for them to review and carry out the disposal.

Over the past period of time, as the Bingzhou Army continued to attack Guanzhong, the memorials increased significantly. In addition to the regular reports from various states and counties, Cao Liang had to deal with documents every day, so he had to review them all night so that he could barely read these documents.

After all, most of these official documents and memorials are urgent, and Cao Liang needs to be reviewed in person. In addition, this emergency in Chang'an does require Cao Liang to spend a lot of energy to deal with.

It was indeed beyond Cao Liang's expectations that Sima Zhao killed his brother and killed the emperor and usurped the throne. Under normal circumstances, a slightly rational person would not do such a crazy thing unless Sima Zhao went crazy.

The murder of Sima Shi was somewhat surprised to Cao Liang. Unexpectedly, Sima Shi's hero did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own brothers, which was considered to be a complete death.

The Sima brothers' siege are not a bad thing for Cao Liang. Sima Zhao's actions have not helped accelerate the demise of the Sima family. If the Sima brothers can unite and work together, Cao Liang will still need to spend a lot of effort to destroy them. Now they are fighting each other first, which is obviously good news for Cao Liang. At least if the enemy Sima Shi is missing, the final battle with the Sima family will become much easier.

Moreover, after Sima Zhao killed his brother, he would inevitably increase the gap between the Sima brothers, especially between Sima Zhao and Sima Lun, which would inevitably be deeply trapped in irreconcilable contradictions. Sima Zhao, who usurped the throne and Sima Lun, who held military power, once a conflict arises, the demise of the Sima family will be close to you.

Logically speaking, in Cao Liang's understanding, Sima Zhao is also a scheming person. He is insidious and unconscious, but he is also smart. How could he do such a crazy thing this time?

Perhaps the last time he fell off the horse, he not only broke his legs, but also broke his brain. Otherwise, he shouldn't have been emperor at this time. After all, the environment in which the Sima family is now is far less than the environment in which Gao Pingling coup. At that time, the power was in control of Sima Yi and did not proclaim himself emperor. When it was Sima's turn to be so declining, Sima Zhao brazenly proclaimed himself emperor. What is this not self-destruction?

If a son is not a fish, how can he know the joy of fish? Cao Liang is not Sima Zhao, so he naturally cannot understand Sima Zhao's behavior. However, the more their brothers kill each other, the more beneficial it is to Cao Liang. The more crazy Sima Zhao is, the more it will accelerate the demise of their Sima family.

Historically, the Western Jin Dynasty itself was a short-lived dynasty. Now, in this parallel world, the Jin State established by Sima Zhao is probably even shorter.

However, Cao Mao was killed and Sima Zhao did not make Cao Huan the emperor, which caused trouble for Cao Liang. Of course, the prefectures and counties under Cao Liang would not recognize the legitimacy of the pseudo-Jin regime, but Cao Mao had collapsed and the Cao Wei court no longer existed. This large territory under Cao Liang's jurisdiction was equivalent to becoming a homeless land. Now that Cao Liang wants to restore the Wei court, he first needs to establish a new emperor, so that the rule of Cao Wei can be continued.

As a member of the Cao clan, it was his duty to restore the Wei family. What's more, this was not a difficult task for Cao Liang. Most of the prefectures and counties in the world were already under his control, and re-establishing a new king seemed to be just a word from Cao Liang.

But it is easy to talk about, but it is not easy to do. This time, Sima's family moved the capital, not only forced the common people in Luoyang to Chang'an, but also forced everyone from the Cao clan to move away.

Originally, the descendants of the Cao family had fiefs, such as King Yan Cao Yu, whose fief was in Youzhou, King Pengcheng Cao Ju, and his fief was in Xuzhou. Most of the time, these princes stayed on the fiefs and were not allowed to enter the capital without following the imperial edict.

However, with Cao Liang's army marching forward, the prefectures and counties east of Luoyang fell one after another. In order to avoid collusion between these princes and Cao Liang, Sima Shi ordered that all the princes and kings stranded on various fiefs be moved to Luoyang, and then moved to Chang'an.

Therefore, almost all the kings of the Cao clan clan were under the control of the Sima family. Even if there were some leftovers, they were still branches and their blood ties were even more distant than Cao Liang. Even if Cao Liang wanted to re-establish the emperor, he had to find candidates within the Cao clan with similar blood ties, but it seemed that there was really no suitable person.
