Cao Shuang currently swept towards Deng Yang and said in a deep voice: "What gift did Cao Liang give you, take it out and let someone take a look." ”

Deng Yang was originally a little hesitant, but when he saw Cao Shuang's stern gaze, he had to obediently take out the gift slip from his sleeve and hand it to Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang glanced at it, snorted coldly, and said, "What a big stroke, no wonder you would have said such a good thing to Cao Liang, Deng Yang, is General Ben too tolerant of you?" ”

Deng Yang hurriedly bowed and said: "The general forgives his sins and is humble; The sin deserves death, and I won't dare next time. ”

Cao Shuang snorted in his nostrils, don't you dare next time? Joke, if he really gets rid of that greedy for money, he really won't be Deng Yang.

But obviously Cao Shuang didn't delve into Deng Yang's meaning, if he really wanted to investigate corruption and bribery, Cao Shuang would definitely have more than Deng Yang, and there were many incomes, Cao Shuang was inconvenient to come forward, or Deng Yang came to accept it for him, so even if Deng Yang really accepted Cao Liang's bribe, he would not be punished by Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang waved his hand, motioned for Deng Yang to get up, turned his head to Ding Mi and said, "In this way, this Cao Liang can't be transferred back to Beijing for the time being?" ”

Ding Mi said: "No, according to the humble opinion, not only must Cao Liang return to Beijing, but the sooner the better, and the later it will change." ”

Cao Shuang was confused, and said suspiciously: "Why is this?" ”

Ding Mi said: "The matter discussed in the court must soon be spread to Bingzhou, since Cao Liang is willing to give heavy gifts to bribe the court officials, it proves that he is eager to leave Bingzhou and return to Luoyang, if the general does not allow it, it will make him resentful." If he is separated from the general, it will be difficult to control, it is better to transfer back to Luoyang as soon as possible, give him a respectful official position, and it is also convenient for the general to control, so as not to cause another incident. ”

Since Cao Liang took over as the general of Pingbei and went to Bingzhou, Cao Shuang's expectations for Cao Liang are still quite high, hoping that he can do something in Bingzhou, quell the rebellion, and give Cao Shuang a big boost, after all, Cao Shuang is under a lot of pressure after the failure of the Shu attack, if Cao Liang can quell the rebellion of the Huns in Bingzhou, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

But this kind of thing itself is a double-edged sword, if used well, it can solve Cao Shuang's worries, and if it is not used well, it is very likely to backfire against its master, Cao Liang left a good impression on Cao Shuang before he gained power, but now that he is in charge, it is not easy to control him as easily as before.

It was out of this concern that Ding Mi came up with such an idea for Cao Shuang, rather than letting Cao Liang become big in Bingzhou, it was better to recall him back to Luoyang and give him an idle position, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, presumably he would not be able to set off any storms.

"And what position is suitable for him?" Cao Shuang asked, the position is still very particular, it is given too high, it will threaten Cao Shuang's position, and it is too low, which seems to be inconsistent with Cao Liang's merits, and it will inevitably be criticized.

Ding Mi pondered for a moment and said: "The general of the auxiliary country is located in Jiuqingtong, then let him come to the general of the auxiliary country, and add a free cavalry attendant, it is almost enough, what does the general think?" ”

The auxiliary general, the name sounds very bluffing, and even the general of the middle and leading forces, they are all official positions of the third grade, but the middle leading army is the real power faction that commands the forbidden army, and the auxiliary general is just a fictitious title with rank and no real responsibility, and there is a difference between the two.

And the free cavalry is just an additional official, when it is important, he is a close minister by the side of the Son of Heaven, and when it is not important, he is just a false position that is indiscriminately sealed, and it has no meaning.

Although Cao Fang is gradually growing up, Cao Shuang doesn't seem to have the intention of letting him pro-government, so all the military and political power is still in Cao Shuang's hands, Cao Fang is just an ornament so far, so those official positions such as serving the Son of Heaven, scattered cavalry and other official positions, in the final analysis, are just a false title, and they can't be true.

Cao Shuang nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, what Yan Jing said is very true, then order the Zhongshutai side to draft an edict, appoint Cao Liang as the general of the auxiliary country, scatter the cavalry, and return to Beijing immediately to resume his life." In this case, how to deal with it on the state side? ”

Ding Mi said: "The governor of Bingzhou was placed because of Cao Liang, and this time he was abolished because of Cao Liang, but there was not much conflict, after Cao Liang returned to Beijing, his original subordinates continued to be stationed in Bingzhou to prevent the attack of the Xianbei people. Wang Ji, who has been diligent and dedicated to public service and has made outstanding political achievements, can still continue to serve as the governor of the state. However, he believes that at present, Wang Ji is a bicycle assassin, and if he wants to dominate the soldiers and horses of a state, he may be difficult to convince the public, and he also asks the general to give him the title of a general to meet the expectations of the public. ”

The history of bicycle assassination and the history of leading soldiers are still fundamentally different, don't look at the two in terms of rank, only one level apart, but this level is like a chasm, and it cannot be surpassed in this life.

Compared with the leader of the army and the assassin who is in charge of the power of a state and is responsible for all military affairs, the bicycle assassin is only a civilian official and is only responsible for handling the civil affairs of the state, and has no right to speak in the military.

In fact, this is a very normal thing, and the highest official in the state is the governor of the state, who is in charge of the military, so naturally there is no need to worry about the military affairs again, but this time Cao Liang was transferred back to Luoyang, and the position of the governor of the state is vacant, and Ding Mi suggested that he no longer prepare to reset the governor of the state, so the military affairs of the state will naturally belong to the history of the state assassin.

And the state belongs to the border state, bordering the Hu people, the border war continues, the military responsibility is much greater than the inland state, Wang Ji as a bicycle assassin history, commanding the soldiers and horses, naturally difficult to convince the public, so Ding Mi proposed to promote Wang Ji a general title, make it the history of the leading soldiers, justifiably to take charge of the army.

Cao Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "Then make Wang Ji the general of Ning Yuan and lead the military affairs of the state." ”

General Ning Yuan is just a miscellaneous general of the fifth grade, and Cao Shuang naturally doesn't need to think much about it.

"Yui." Ding Mi received the order and prepared to send a message to Zhongshu Ling, so that they could draft the decree together.

Before Ding Mi left, Cao Shuang stretched out his hand and called him again, and said, "At the same time, I will draw up another decree to appoint Huan Fan as the chief Sinong and return to Beijing with Cao Liang." ”

Cao Shuang has not forgotten that he was going to reuse Huan Fan at the beginning, it was Cao Liang who robbed Hu halfway, snatched people away, and let Huan Fan act as his staff.
