Cao Yan said seriously: "Foreign enemies invade and the country will perish. This is the time when the country is in danger."

Cao Liang nodded as if he had some understanding and said: "Currently, the only external enemies of our Wei Dynasty are Western Shu and Soochow. However, with the strength of Shu and Wu alone, it would be very difficult to threaten the state of Wei.

Wei can swallow Shu and destroy Wu, but Shu and Wu cannot defeat Wei. Presumably when the late emperor left the secret edict, he also knew very well that the real threat to the Wei State did not come from Wu and Shu."

Cao Yan's so-called statement that the country was in danger was originally said casually. Perhaps in his understanding, unless the country reached this stage, it would be difficult to call it a time when the country was in danger.

However, since Cao Cao left a secret edict, it must have a purpose. How could Cao do such an important matter without careful consideration?

Cao Nai was a wise king, smart, wise, and far-sighted. Unfortunately, fate did not bless him and he died young. As a wise king, how could he not know what the great enemy of Wei was? Neither Shu nor Wu had any

The ability to subvert the state of Wei, then what was Cao Cao’s purpose in issuing the 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 the order and did not dare to violate it at all. However, he had never thought about what the real purpose of Cao's edict was.

When will the country be in danger?

Presumably, when Cao wrote this edict, he already had a bright light in his heart.

Cao Liang saw that Cao Yan didn't speak, so he added: "The late emperor was so wise. Since he issued the secret edict, he must have concluded that the Cao family's country was in danger. Now it seems that it is not a foreign enemy, but an internal invasion. My father thinks

, now among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who is likely to become an internal trouble?"

Nothing happens without a reason in the world. Since Cao Cao saw the existence of the crisis, the secret edict was born. The secret edict was given to Cao Yan to prevent powerful officials from seeking to usurp the throne.

The number of powerful officials who can truly threaten the government can be counted on the palm of a hand. The person with the most power in the government now is naturally none other than Cao Shuang, but what Cao Shuang is capable of, Cao Yan naturally knows very well, not to mention

Cao Shuang himself is a member of the Cao family. If it weren't for this relationship, Cao would not have entrusted him with important tasks.

It is obvious that Sima Yi, another high-ranking auxiliary minister, has become the object of suspicion. Is he really the internal trouble in Cao's eyes?

But if Cao Cao believed that Sima Yi was an internal trouble, then why did he entrust him with important tasks and entrust him to assist the government? Why didn't Cao kill Sima Yi before he died to avoid future troubles?

Seeing that Cao Yan was still pondering, Cao Liang chuckled and said, "I guess my father already has the answer in his mind, but he just doesn't dare to confirm it easily. There are no outsiders here today. You and I can speak freely, even if we guess wrong."

, it doesn’t hurt. The boy thinks that the person targeted by the late emperor’s secret edict is Sima Yi. I wonder if his father thinks so too?”

Cao Yan nodded lightly. If he had to find someone suspected of internal trouble from the list of court ministers, then Sima Yi would be the best choice, because apart from others, Cao Yan really couldn't find anyone.

The second man comes with both ambition and power.

Cao Liang smiled slightly and said: "The late emperor gave my father a secret edict to deal with traitors. Suppose, if Sima Yi wants to rebel and the country is at a critical moment, how will my father deal with it?"

Cao Yan said generously: "As my father, I will lead the cavalry battalion to fight to the death and eradicate the rebellious officials and traitors!"

Cao Liang said: "If Sima Yi wants to rebel, he must have made full preparations. Over the years, Sima Yi has united his party members, wooed aristocratic families, raised dead soldiers, and cultivated cronies. He has already established a tree with deep roots. My father really thought that he could only rely on his valiant cavalry.

Can a battalion and an army be able to compete with the Sima family?"

Cao Yan said hesitantly: "General Cao Shuang has a lot of troops, how can he just sit back and ignore it?"

Mentioning Cao Shuang, Cao Liang could only laugh. Cao Shuang did have a lot of troops, but so what, it wasn't a total defeat in the end. Counting on Cao Shuang, even a sow can climb a tree.

"If Cao Shuang was really courageous, he should have killed Sima Yi long ago. Unfortunately, the straw bag is just a straw bag after all and cannot be used for much purpose. Otherwise, why would the late emperor have appointed Cao Shuang as a general and then issued a secret edict to his father? In the eyes of the late emperor, I am afraid that

, Cao Shuang alone is far from being able to check and balance Sima Yi."

Cao Yan said with enlightenment: "The reason why my son revitalized the Yueqi camp must 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, and in order to rebuild the Yueqi camp, he

It can be said that he worked hard, and it was probably to deal with the crisis. Cao Yan did not expect that Cao Liang would think of him, and he was very happy.

Cao Liang shook his head and said: "Not enough, far from enough. The power of the Sima family is now almost unimaginable. The Xiaoqi camp and the Yueqi camp alone are not enough to compete with the Sima family. If my father wants to fulfill the late emperor's last wish,

You have to stop thinking of a way."

"Oh, is there any other way?"

Cao Liang said firmly: "Of course. Even if Sima Yi recruits 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 causing trouble and worrying that their huge family will be implicated. These wealthy families are

The object that the father is trying to fight for. For example, the Taiyang family. They originally had the opportunity to marry and marry the Sima family and share the same spirit. However, at this time, they have broken with the Sima family and are on the same side. This is what we can take advantage of.

, if this opportunity is missed and the Yang family turns to the Sima family again, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this time, Cao Yan suddenly realized that Cao Liang had been talking for a long time and had gone in a big circle. Are you waiting for him here?

In the final analysis, Cao Liang still put in so much effort for Yang Huiyu, but the fox's tail was still exposed.

However, this time Cao Yan did not refute it outright, because everything Cao Liang said made sense.

The secret edict is a top priority for Cao Yan. Nothing can compare with it, even if it involves the dignity of the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, it cannot be compared with it. In order to fulfill the late emperor's last wish, Cao Yan can do it at any cost.

, even his own life.

Sima Yi is undoubtedly his number one enemy. Cao Yan really has no idea how to deal with this enemy. Compared with the powerful Sima family, the Xiaoqi camp, which is known as the most powerful in the world, may really be nothing. Sima Yi
