ps: Chapter Anti-theft, will be corrected later...

Cao Liang did not have the honor of "praising and worshiping without fame, but going to the palace with swords and shoes". In fact, only Cao Cao enjoyed this kind of honor when he was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Before Cao Cao, it was Dong Zhuo who enjoyed this kind of treatment. However,

After the Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, I have never heard of any important ministers enjoying such treatment. Even the highly meritorious Sima Yi and the first minister Cao Shuang did not have this honor. When they went to court, they had to take off their swords and shoes obediently.

Go to the temple wearing only socks.

However, Cao Liang knew that this situation might exist soon. After the Sima family took power, the emperor was nothing more than a puppet. Naturally, the three of them, father and son, could take turns praising and worshiping the emperor, and went to the palace with swords and shoes.

At today's court meeting, almost all the civil and military officials were present, including the Cavalry General Cao Yan. He actually arrived earlier than Cao Liang, so Cao Liang did not see him when he left the mansion.

Obviously Cao Yan wanted Cao Liang to sleep a little longer so he didn't call him. At this moment, Cao Liang glanced at Cao Yan. Cao Yan was sitting upright in the palace, looking straight at him, as if he didn't recognize him.

Cao Liang and Huan Fan both stepped forward and paid homage to Emperor Cao Fang: "Your Majesty, Cao Liang (Huan Fan) pays homage to your Majesty."

Cao Fang ascended the throne at the age of eight. When Cao Liang left the capital for the western expedition, he was only a ten-year-old child. Now he has grown up. Sitting on the dragon bed, wearing a dragon robe, he looks a bit like an emperor.

appearance.

"Cao Aiqing, Huan Aiqing, please be free." Cao Fang waved his hand, and he seemed to have the bearing of an emperor. However, Cao Liang had a keen eye, and Cao Fang's next actions undoubtedly confirmed his reputation as a puppet emperor.

Cao Liang paid homage: "After I received the order, I did not dare to neglect. I hurried back to the capital at starry night. However, the Yellow River was flooded and the road was blocked, so I was delayed for some time. Please forgive me. But I didn't know that your Majesty summoned me back to the capital.

, What's the urgent matter? Over in Bingzhou, the Xiongnu and Xianbei troubles have not been eliminated, or I am afraid that they will come back someday, so I don't dare to slack off."

Cao Fang suddenly became frustrated. It was not his idea to summon Cao Liang back to the capital at all. Someone had even drafted the imperial edict to summon him. He only needed Cao Fang to put a seal on it. The reason

, how could Cao Fang know? It is no wonder that when faced with Cao Liang's questioning, he was speechless and could only turn to General Cao Shuang for help.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Shuang seemed a little embarrassed, but Cao Fang couldn't answer, so Cao Shuang could only say: "General Cao's hard work in repelling the powerful enemy and putting down the rebellion in Bingzhou is indeed a great achievement. Your Majesty is grateful for the contribution of General Cao Huan Zhongjian, so

Then I issued an order to summon you two back to the capital to discuss your merits and reward them."

When he said this, Cao Fang obviously understood, and ordered the Huangmen official to announce the edict of the reward. The Jin Dynasty made Cao Liang the general of the auxiliary state, a regular servant of Sanqi, and the Jin Dynasty made Huanfan the chief agricultural officer, each with their own rewards. Cao Liang

The reward was ten thousand catties of gold, two thousand bolts of silk and satin, ten huks of pearls, ten pairs of jade bis, and a pair of corals. Huan Fan's reward was five thousand catties of gold, one thousand bolts of silk and satin, five huks of pearls, and five pairs of jade bis.

A coral.

The promoted official position had already been mentioned when the transfer order was issued. This time the imperial edict was regarded as a formal appointment. As for the rewards, they sounded amazing, including ten thousand catties of gold. In fact, Cao Liang knew that these so-called gold

, it is not real gold, but copper. In fact, ten thousand catties of copper is really not much. For Cao Liang, who is not short of money, this reward is nothing more than scratching the surface.

Moreover, Cao Shuang's explanation was vague, and he almost didn't say why he wanted to recruit them to Beijing. After all, although he knew some things well, he couldn't say them out in this situation.

Except for this matter, which was regarded as the most important matter, other matters seemed less important. Cao Fang routinely ordered Huangmenguan to read the edict, and after that, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

The so-called Great Court Meeting does not seem to be exactly what Cao Liang imagined. No matter in terms of content or form, Cao Liang does not think that this can be regarded as a Great Court Meeting that is held only once a month, or even a general meeting held in the General's Mansion.

Even worse.

At this time, Cao Fang was not in charge, so the general affairs of the court were still handled by the general Cao Shuang. Moreover, Cao Shuang was lazy by nature. Basically, he left many urgent matters to He Yan, Deng, Ding Mi and other people to handle, but he did it himself.

It's a pleasure to be at ease.

After the disbandment of the dynasty, all the civil and military officials retired. When they were leaving the dynasty, Cao Shuang said to Cao Liang: "Someday, someone will hold a banquet in the mansion to welcome you and wash away the dust."

Originally, when Cao Shuang heard the slander, he was furious with Cao Liang, and then ordered Cao Liang and Huan Fan to be transferred back to the capital. But now when he faced Cao Liang directly, he couldn't help but feel guilty, thinking that Cao Liang had saved his life.

Well, that's why Cao Shuang suggested holding a reception banquet for Cao Liang and Huan Fan.

Cao Liang is naturally not interested in this kind of reception banquet, but now that the deal is done, if he wants to mobilize again, at least it will not be possible in a short time.

Of course, Cao Liang is not depressed. After all, he has already made arrangements for Bingzhou. Although he is dissatisfied with his official position this time, he can still accept it. Anyway, this thing is fictitious. It is really his turn.

When the Sima family rebelled, it was of no use at all and instead became a burden.

When Sima Master was retreating from the court, he glanced at Cao Liang from a distance, which seemed to be a silent ridicule, but Sima Master quickly disappeared among the crowd.

When they arrived at the parking gate, Cao Yan rushed over and asked Cao Liang to go home alone. He was going to the Xiaoqi camp. If there was nothing special, he probably wouldn't go home in the next few days.

Obviously, Cao Liang's conversation with him yesterday stimulated him. The imperial edict was like a big mountain pressing on his head, making Cao Yan dare not slack off at all times. In the past seven years, he has been managing the Xiaoqi camp conscientiously.

I hope that one day when the secret edict is opened, he can lead the Xiaoqi battalion to quell the rebellion and help the country.

When Cao Liang came back this time, he mentioned the posthumous edict and claimed that something might have happened in the capital. This undoubtedly made Cao Yan feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, so after the meeting, he didn't even plan to go home and went directly to the Xiaoqi camp.

, prepare to increase the intensity of training and prepare for actual combat.

His father is so dedicated, Cao Liang can't say anything else. Even though he is now the general of the auxiliary country, he is a higher rank than his general Qiaoqi, but the general of the auxiliary country does not have many soldiers and horses to command. Cao Liang

Naturally, he had nothing to do, so he simply rode back home to enjoy family happiness as a family.
