He personally went to the door of the mansion to greet him and said with a smile: "Sir, the arrival of the humble house is so bright that the walls of the humble house are shining."

Originally, Cao Liang was just a polite word, but Huan Fan seemed a little unhappy and said coldly: "If your Gaoling Marquis Mansion is a humble house, then our mansion is a chicken nest or a dog shed."

Cao Liang immediately choked, and it was still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste. It has been almost a year since he returned to Luoyang. Huan Fan's temper and personality have not changed, and it is still choking people to death.

Cao Liang smiled, but didn't care. After all, after spending a few years with Huan Fan, he got used to it. He welcomed Huan Fan into the middle hall and said, "Since returning to Beijing, Mr. Hu is busy with official duties, so we have a rare chance to see him. Today, Mr. Hu is here, and I should fulfill the friendship of the landlords, and I should not return without getting drunk."

After returning to the capital, Cao Liang became a famous general of the State, doing nothing every day and was very leisurely, but Huan Fan was different. He became a Grand Secretary, one of the nine ministers. During the Han Dynasty, Grand Secretary was responsible for collecting land rent, taxes on manuscripts, calculating taxes, calculating taxes, recapitation, calculating taxes, etc., and also operates the production and sale of salt, iron, and wine, engaged in commercial activities such as equal transportation and regulating materials, and is responsible for the salaries of state officials, military and political expenses, etc. The Grand Secretary had officials in charge of various financial affairs in the central and local governments.

Although during the Three Kingdoms period, a large part of the power of the Grand Secretary was seized by the Minister of the Duzhi, it was still an extremely heavy position. After Huan Fan became the Grand Secretary, his affairs were busy, so he naturally had very few opportunities to meet Cao Liang.

Huan Fan's face looked very bad. This time he came to find Cao Liang specifically, just to persuade Cao Liang not to be humorous of wine and sex. Cao Liang was fine, and as soon as he entered the door, he arranged a banquet for him, which made Huan Fan speechless. He waved his hand and said lightly: "I still have official duties, so I stayed there soon, and left after saying a few words."

Cao Liang knew Huan Fan's temper and said one thing, so he ordered his servant to change to tea and said with a smile: "I wonder what advice sir can give me?"

Huan Fan said with a gloomy face: "Zi Ming, when I was in Bingzhou, I respected you very much. I led the way, worked hard, made progress, and did not fear difficulties. The achievements I achieved were obvious to all. However, after returning to Luoyang, you were much lazy, intoxicated by wine and sex, and did not intend to make progress. To be honest, I am really disappointed with you. Where did Cao Ziming, who had stepped on the northern border and held a stalker in the world? "

Cao Liang didn't expect that Huan Fan was so straightforward. Looking at his expression, he was quite heartbroken. Obviously, he was deeply disappointed with Cao Liang's performance after returning to Beijing.

Cao Liang smiled faintly and said, "When I was in Bingzhou, I was the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops. But when I returned to Luoyang, I was just a general who received a salary, no soldiers or power. I only had the name of a general but no general. Naturally, I would do nothing every day and could only have some fun by myself."

Huan Fan couldn't help but feel a little silent. What Cao Liang said was indeed true. In general, Cao Shuang was not very kind to do. It was really nothing to do to let a governor with heavy troops return to Beijing to spare.

"The general is indeed biased in his actions, but Ziming, you should not give up on yourself. You and Sima Shi were enemies, so why did you still take his daughter as your second wife? Is it just because of her beauty?" Huan Fan asked.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "You probably don't understand this thing after saying it."

Huan Fan frowned and said, "Zi Ming, do you know that the general and Sima Taifu are in the same power as fire. If you take the Sima family as your concubine, wouldn't it be a waste of fire? In this matter in the court, you cannot act on your will and make friends with the Sima family. Invisibly, you will get the general's jealousy. It's not worth the loss. Originally, the general had the intention to use you this time, but it was because you married the Sima family that you were abandoned. If you have been so determined, you are afraid that your career will be covered with dust and you will be unable to do anything."

Huan Fan was indeed kind. After Cao Shuang heard about Cao Liang taking a concubine, he obviously expressed dissatisfaction. If Cao Liang continued to act like this, he would be afraid that Cao Shuang would be reused again.

Cao Liang naturally foresaw this. After accepting Sima Ru, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Cao Shuang, but is this important for Cao Liang?

But some words cannot be said to Huan Fanming. Cao Liang knew that Huan Fan was a straightforward person. Originally, he was not a person in Cao Shuang's core circle, but he was too active in the Gaopingling Incident. When Cao Shuang was in danger, he turned his back alone, came up with ideas and found a way. Unfortunately, Cao Shuang ignored him and refused to listen to Huan Fan's plan. Cao Shuang died and did not say that the clan was destroyed, which made Huan Fan also follow him to bury him.

Cao Shuang's fate is not worthy of sympathy. This is the result of his own fault, but Huan Fan died more unjustly. If he had not gone to that muddy water, he might not have suffered the disaster of extermination.

"Mr. Liang has been taught by his words. But Liang also has one word, don't you know whether to say it or not?"

"You and I are also friends of life and death who share the same hardships. It doesn't matter if you have anything to say bluntly, you don't have to hide it."

"It has been eight years since the late emperor passed away, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the general assisted in the administration. What does that gentleman think about these eight years?"

Huan Fan didn't expect that Cao Liang was asking this, and he couldn't help but speak in a hurry, frowned, and said, "Zi Ming, what do you mean?"

Cao Liang smiled and said, "This is not to ask the gentleman to evaluate current affairs, it is just a private exchange between you and me. The general has been assisting in the administration for eight years, appointing private individuals, tyrannical government, embezzling domestic products, filthing the harem, and insisting on doing their own troops, wasting the government, wasting the government's leadership, wasting the government's leadership, and losing power and morality. All of these are all signs of defeat. Mr. is a wise man, so why should he trek into this muddy water, retreat bravely, and protect himself? "

Huan Fan was shocked and said, "Zi Ming, do you know something? Is there really a big change in this court?"

Cao Liang did not admit it or deny it. He smiled gently and said, "It is still possible to violate the evils of heaven. He committed sins by oneself and cannot survive. Buddhism emphasizes the retribution of cause and effect. What kind of cause and what kind of result is naturally what kind of result is not unrepayable. The time has not come. I know what I said, and it is not worthy of being a way for outsiders."

Huan Fan was originally here to persuade Cao Liang, but as he persuaded him, the wind changed. Why did Cao Liang persuade him instead? However, Cao Liang's words were extremely terrifying. It seemed that Cao Liang had seen through everything, which made Huan Fan think deeply about it.

He reminded Cao Shuang to beware of someone's rebellion, but he thought Cao Shuang's behavior of leaving the city was inappropriate, but Cao Liang's words had other profound meanings, which made him shudder.
