Chapter 663: Loyalty Against Ears
Since the Empress Dowager Guo was placed under house arrest in Yongning Palace, no one mentioned the matter of the Son of Heaven to Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang was full of pride, feeling that he had stepped into the peak of his life, and no one could shake his current position.

Especially Sima Yi's old guy is also about to get sick, and there is no such eye-catching guy in the court, Cao Shuang feels that everything is pleasing to the eye.
It is said that people live for seventy years, Sima Yi sees that the horse is about to reach the age of ancient rarity, and he has not hung it yet, this old guy, his vitality is tenacious enough, but according to Li Sheng's own eyes, Sima Yi's old eyes are dizzy, deaf and deaf, and the loess is about to be buried in his neck, so naturally it will not pose any threat to Cao Shuang's position.
It is said that for so many years, Sima Yi has always been Cao Shuang's opponent, and Sima Yi, who is also an auxiliary minister, has always been regarded by Cao Shuang as a thorn in the eye, and he wants to get rid of him quickly, but Sima Yi has always been low-key, and he once had a very wide network, Cao Shuang also had to act cautiously and let Sima Yi go.
Now that Sima Yi is about to die, leaving his sons, there will be no longer any threat to Cao Shuang, and Cao Shuang's defense of the Sima family is decreasing day by day.
In fact, the days of monopoly are also very lonely, Cao Shuang thought about it for a long time, and seeing that the early winter was approaching, he thought about going out of the city to hunt and have fun.
Of course, it didn't make sense to go out to play alone, so Cao Shuang made an appointment with several of his brothers Cao Xi, Cao Xun, and his henchmen He Yan, Ding Mi, Deng Yang and others to go out of the city to hunt in winter.
When Huan Fan heard the news, he immediately went to see Cao Shuang and dissuaded: "The general and the leader are in charge of the government and the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, and it is not appropriate to leave the Beijing Division at the same time, if someone takes advantage of the opportunity of the general and the leader to go out of the city to close the city gate, it will be a bad thing." ”
Cao Shuang laughed when he heard this: "Yuan Ze is too worried, Luoyang City, who dares to do it, unless he is tired of being crooked." ”
Huan Fan couldn't help frowning, although he didn't necessarily calculate what would happen, but everything had to be prepared for a rainy day, the real person should have a sense of distress all the time, like Cao Shuang's habit of giving others an opportunity at any time is really bad, if nothing happens, it's just a matter of returning, once something happens, it's too late to regret it.
Huan Fan reminded him out of consideration for Cao Shuang, but Cao Shuang was very arrogant and didn't care at all, and Huan Fan could only retreat without saying a word.
When Huan Fan was about to retire, Cao Shuang suddenly asked: "I heard that Cao Ziming has been very close to the Sima family recently, and is preparing to accept Sima Shi's daughter as his second wife, but is there such a thing?" ”
Cao Shuang also heard someone around him talk about this, and he didn't think anything was wrong at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, didn't this Cao Liang have a grudge against the Sima family, and snatched Sima Shi's wife who was about to pass through the door from Sima Shi's wedding, for this matter, Cao Shuang also stretched out his hand, it stands to reason that the Cao family and the Sima family should not share a genius, right, after a few years of work, they actually got together again, Cao Liang actually got Sima Shi's daughter again, talent!
"Yes." Huan Fan replied honestly, but this matter is already known to everyone in Luoyang City, and it is impossible for Huan Fan to deny it.
Cao Shuang said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that Sima Shi and Cao Ziming have a hatred for taking their wives, how can they remarry their daughters to Cao Ziming, is there any ulterior secret here?" ”
Since returning to Beijing, Huan Fan and Cao Liang have had less contact, besides, Cao Liang's concubine is also his own business, so there is no need to discuss it with others.
"This ...... The lower officials also don't know, if the general has any questions, he might as well summon Cao Ziming and ask for understanding. ”
Cao Shuang snorted coldly and said: "Forget it, what does Cao Ziming have to do with me if he is willing to fall, he wants to hug the thigh of the Sima family and go with him, and he doesn't look at Sima Yi's death, what good end can he do with the Sima family?" ”
In Cao Shuang's view, Cao Liang's marriage with the Sima family clearly had other intentions, and Cao Liang did not attend the reception banquet because he said that he was ill, which had already caused Cao Shuang's dissatisfaction, and there were obvious cracks in the relationship between the two sides.
And this time Cao Liang fell to the Sima family, which made Cao Shuang even more dissatisfied, originally there was some of his thoughts about renewing, but now it is simply extinguished, since Cao Liang is ready to nest with the Sima family's snakes and rats, Cao Shuang can no longer have the idea of reusing him, let him fend for himself.
Now Cao Shuang is in power, there are many "talents", there is not much more Cao Liang, and there is not much less Cao Liang, since he has two hearts with himself, Cao Shuang also gave him up from the bottom of his heart.
Want to hug Sima's thighs? Cao Shuang couldn't help but scoff, and he didn't look at what Sima Yi had become, and he still wanted to go to the light of Sima's family and blind his dog's eyes, right?
Thinking of this, Cao Shuang didn't bother to pay attention to Cao Liang, his mind was now on the hunting surface out of the city, he hadn't gone out of the city to let go of the wind for a long time, Cao Shuang was about to suffocate to death, and now the prey with autumn fat is probably fat and strong, it is a good time to hunt, riding his own Dawan good horse from the Western Regions to pay tribute, and experiencing the pleasure of chasing prey, Cao Shuang was a little inexplicably excited.
"Is there anything else going on with Yuan Ze?" Cao Shuang glanced at Huan Fan, who was still standing on the side, and said strangely.
Huan Fan originally wanted to talk to Cao Shuang about Cao Liang, but seeing that Cao Shuang's interest was not here at all, he had to give up.
Out of the General's Mansion, Huan Fan couldn't help frowning, and it could be seen that Cao Shuang was very dissatisfied with Cao Liang's daughter as a concubine. Cao Shuang is now in power, if he is not satisfied with someone, it means that this person's career path is basically blocked, and even said that there is a hidden danger of raiding the family and exterminating the clan.
This Cao Liang has always been very shrewd, so he made such a big mistake in this matter? Could it be that this daughter of Sima Shi really has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and she seduces Cao Liang so much that she can't stop?
Huan Fan couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for Cao Liang, you know, the reason why he was willing to serve as Cao Liang's adviser was because he saw that Cao Liang was young and promising, and his future was limitless, but he didn't expect that Cao Liang had sunk since he was transferred back to Beijing as the governor of Bingzhou, and he didn't care about political affairs, he didn't want to forge ahead, he was just greedy for beauty and pleasure, and in the long run, he was afraid that this person would be completely abolished.
No way!
Huan Fan felt that he couldn't sit on the sidelines like this, and seeing Cao Liang sinking like this, he decided to go to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion immediately to meet Cao Liang, and he couldn't let him abandon himself like this.
Cao Liang's actions made him feel very sad.
