The secret edict was like a mission, a big mountain pressing on Cao Yan's shoulders, making Cao Yan feel like he was facing an abyss, walking on thin ice, and he never dared to relax.

Cao Liang sharply pointed out the enemies Cao Yan faced, allowing Cao Yan to fully understand what kind of situation he was facing. Behind the peaceful singing and dancing, there were turbulent undercurrents, and the situation was very dangerous.

But Cao Yan had no escape route. From the day he accepted the secret edict, he had already shouldered a burden as heavy as Mount Tai. This was his fate. He was destined to meet Sima Yi on a narrow road and fight to the death.

In fact, what is before Cao Yan is no longer such frivolous things as family glory and family reputation. The Sima family is already sharpening their knives, and there is not much time left for Cao Yan. Wait until Sima Yi launches a coup.

, when trying to overthrow the Wei Dynasty, Cao Yan must step forward without hesitation, open a secret edict, and fight against all rebellious forces.

Cao Liang's words are very clear. If he is allowed to marry Yang Huiyu at this moment, he will definitely be able to win over the Taiyang family, an important force, and add an important bargaining chip in the fight against the Sima family.

Although the Taiyang family is not a top-notch noble family, looking at the world, it can definitely be regarded as a heavyweight wealthy family. Now Cao Yan is almost alone, and there is no scholarly family power to take advantage of.

This is mainly because the power of the Cao clan itself is implicitly an enemy of the scholar families in the world. The Cao clan itself is the cornerstone of defending the imperial power of the Cao family, and its relationship with the wealthy families is very weak.

The daughter of the Lu family whom Cao Yan and his wife had previously appointed as Cao Liang's official wife may not bring political benefits to them. Although Lu Yu is the son of the great scholar Lu Zhi, the Lu family can only be regarded as a scholarly family at best, not a wealthy family.

.

What's more, Lu Yu has a special relationship with the Sima family. Although Lu Yu is not like Guo Huai, Sun Li and others who follow Sima Yi wholeheartedly, he still maintains a close relationship with Sima Yi. Even if he really marries with the Cao family,

They may not necessarily fall to the Cao family. Cao Yan also understands this.

In comparison, a marriage with the Yang family would definitely bring greater political benefits than a marriage with the Lu family. Understanding this, Cao Yan fell into silence.

Cao Liang struck while the iron was hot and said: "If my father really regards the secret edict as destiny, then personal honor and disgrace, the family's reputation, these things will become insignificant. Maybe Yang Huiyu can't make you like it, but it can bring you a

With the full support of the wealthy family, even if the day comes when the war with the Sima family comes, the Yang family will always stand firmly behind you and fight side by side with you."

Cao Yan said with some confusion: "Can Yang Huiyu have such a high status in the Yang family? As far as I know, Yang Huiyu's father passed away early, and there are only orphans and widowed mothers in the family, and his relationship with other houses is not very close.

, Can the Yang family, such a prominent family, break up with the Sima family just by one marriage?"

Cao Liang smiled brightly and said: "It's not that the Yang family wants to break up with the Sima family now, but that it is forced by the situation and has to do it. The marriage contract between Master Sima and Yang Huiyu is the result of Yang Peiyang's secret attempt to marry the Sima family.

They made the decision without permission, but they didn't expect that Master Sima not only failed to marry Yang Huiyu, but was imprisoned for killing his wife. Therefore, the people of the Sima family turned their anger on the Yang family, and they were on the same page as the Yang family.

He Yangmi’s original intention was to make good friends with the Sima family, but after this incident, the Yang family has completely offended the Sima family, and the Yang family is now scrambling to find a backer so that they can continue to be based in Shilin."

In order to make friends with the Sima family, Yang Pei and Yang Mi did not hesitate to exchange Yang Huiyu's lifelong happiness. Unfortunately, the flattery was slapped on the horse's hoof. In the end, they shot themselves in the foot. The marriage failed, and instead they became enemies with the Sima family.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since the Yang family and the Sima family have completely broken up, the Yang family will inevitably turn to the Cao family. If Cao Liang and Yang Huiyu get married, the Cao family's marriage to the Yang family will cause political instability between the two parties.

The alliance becomes stronger.

After listening to Cao Liang's words, Cao Yan couldn't help but feel relaxed. The Taiyang family is undoubtedly a very important force. If he can get the full support of the Yang family, then Cao Yan will be able to fight against the Sima family.

It will also be a little flatter.

"Well, I admit that my previous decision was a bit hasty. Since you are interested in Yang Huiyu, then find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage the next day. You are now a grown man, so it is time to think about life-long events." Cao Yan was also frank,

Now that I realized my mistake, I readily admitted it.

As compensation, Cao Yan immediately agreed to Cao Liang's marriage and asked a matchmaker to come to propose the marriage on a certain date and complete the marriage as soon as possible.

Cao Liang was very happy. He was a little worried that Cao Yan would remain stubborn and stubborn. Unexpectedly, once the stakes were laid out, Cao Yan readily agreed to the marriage and proactively admitted his mistake, which was really commendable.

This proves from one aspect that Cao Yan is indeed a sensible person. In his mind, the secret edict is the most important thing. For the sake of the secret edict and to fulfill the late emperor's last wish, even if Cao Yan is unwilling, he can only do it at this time.

Make concessions decisively and have no choice.

Of course, for Cao Liang, it is not deliberately alarmist, but the fact is right in front of you. Whether you are willing to face it or not, it is real.

In order to seize the throne, the Sima family had spent countless financial and material resources. The so-called arrow on the string had to be fired, and Sima Yi could only go to the dark side.

Whoever wants to usurp the throne will be the enemy of Cao Yan and his son. This marriage is no longer a matter between Cao Liang and Yang Huiyu. This marriage will also contain a heavy political marriage.

smell.

This is obviously not what Cao Liang wants. He hopes that his marriage can become more pure and not mixed with other things. Once, he longed for the perfect love in his previous relationship, which was not tainted by utilitarianism and was not influenced by utilitarianism.

Defiled by the world.

However, Cao Liang still failed. In this era, it is indeed difficult to find a pure love. It seems that all marriages have political interests in them, which cannot be escaped or circumvented.

Lose.

However, the result still makes Cao Liang quite satisfied. Now he has become calm. Regardless of political marriage or family interests, as long as he can be with Yang Huiyu, it is already a great blessing. Cao Liang has already
