Is it just because his surname is Cao?

Cao Shuang didn't care what the Empress Dowager was thinking. After he got the edict, he saw news from the north that there was no trace of the Western thieves.

No longer hesitating at that moment, he summoned all the ministers and ministers, read out the edict, and then asked his brothers Cao Xi, Cao Xun and others to lead the imperial army to escort the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and his clan relatives, and hurried to Qiao County.

For a time, there was great chaos in Xuchang City.

The ministers and ministers were all like headless blue flies, hurriedly packing their things and following the Emperor's carriage.

"Fat slave! Dolphin dog! Cao Zidan gave birth to five or six of his flesh, which really insults his wise life!"

Sun Zi's curses rang out from Liu Fang's house.

But the owner, Liu Fang, sat there with his eyes slightly closed, motionless.

Sun Zi walked back and forth, cursing.

After scolding for a while, seeing that Liu Fang remained silent, he couldn't help but said with some dissatisfaction:

"Zi Qi, the state of affairs is like this, but you have a good nature and can still sit still."

Liu Fang then opened his eyes and looked at Sun Zi who finally stopped:

"Yanlong, the matter has come to this. If you don't sit still, are you going to chase after Cao Shuang?"

He sighed again: "Although scolding is useless, if it can help you vent your anger, I might as well let you scold me for a while."

Sun Zi then sat down and said bitterly:

"I shouldn't have promoted Cao Zhaobo to the position in the first place!"

"If you don't push him, who should you push? Do you want to support Cao Zhao (that is, Cao Xiu's son)?"

Sun Zi groaned and said nothing.

Cao Zhao, Qin Lang and others have had a long-standing grudge against themselves. If they are allowed to come to power, they, their wives and children may not be able to be saved.

"The two of us seemed to be pushing Cao Shuang at first, but in fact we were pushing Taifu."

Liu Fang said slowly, "Although Cao Shuang is incompetent and incompetent, he can keep the two of us rich, and with the Taifu here, I want to come to Wei to live in peace, but I didn't expect..."

Another long sigh.

Regarding the matter of the auxiliary ministers, if they have selfish motives, they definitely do.

But it is not all selfish, there is also a public spirit.

I highly recommend Taifu to be public-spirited.

If Cao Shuang can't bring peace to the country, it's not necessarily true that the Tutor can't.

Recommending Cao Shuang is to protect one's own family.

To recommend Taifu is to protect the great Wei.

It's just that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.

Cao Shuang was indeed incompetent in governing the country.

But he is extremely talented when it comes to harming the country.

How many years has it been?

Dawei has actually become like this?

It's just Liu and Sun, it's useless no matter how much they regret.

Since Cao Shuang had the Three Dogs of Taichung, he monopolized power, changed court codes, changed government orders several times, and changed many old systems.

Although Liu and Sun were still concurrently serving as Zhongshu Jian Zhongshu Ling, they actually held important positions but had no real power.

Coupled with the fact that the Three Dogs in Taichung were becoming more and more rampant, Liu and Sun simply resigned and resigned.

Out of sight, out of mind, I can be said to have enjoyed the wealth for a few years with peace of mind.

After all, he was the main driving force behind Cao Shuang's rise to power. Although Cao Shuang did not allow the two of them to take real power, on the surface, he was at least respectful to them.

Naturally, the Three Dogs of Taichung will not embarrass them and their children.

If Luoyang is not lost, it would not be a bad thing if it continues like this.

The bad thing is that Luoyang was suddenly lost.

Xuchang was like a white pig that had been washed clean and white, suddenly exposed to the tiger's mouth of the Han Dynasty.

Looking at Cao Shuang like a lost dog, he did not dare to stay for a moment, and took the emperor to escape overnight.

Coupled with the anger accumulated over the past few years, Sun Zi really couldn't bear it.

Then there was the scene of yelling and swearing in Liu's house.

"I didn't expect Cao Shuang to be so incompetent."

Sun Zi answered Liu Fang's sentence.

Around Luoyang, there are eight sanitation gates.

Even if the Western bandits have captured Luoyang, they will not be able to move south with peace of mind if they do not capture all the dangerous locations around them.

The surrounding areas of Luoyang were not settled yet, and there were hundreds of thousands of Taifu's elite troops to the north. How could the Western bandits dare to go south to Xuchang for a while?

Cao Shuang, Taichung Three Dogs and other cronies did not even think of this. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as stupid as pigs and dogs.

Acting in such a hasty manner will not only make the Western thieves laugh, but will also inevitably cause unrest in the hearts of the people in the country.

To avoid temporary peace and achieve long-term chaos is the act of a fool!

Liu Fang shook his head: "The matter has reached this point. It is useless to talk more. It is better to think about how to make up for it."

Sun Zi had worked with Liu Fang for decades, and he knew what he meant when he heard this: "Won't Zi Qi follow him to Qiao County?"

Liu Fang shook his head: "It's embarrassing enough to run from Luoyang to Xuchang, but if you run to Qiao County again, how is it any different from Cao Shuang's lost dog?"

Sun Zi nodded and smiled helplessly:

"You and I are the same age, and I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to serve Wei again."

Both of them understood what the other meant and smiled at each other.

"Where do you want to start?"

"Of course it's the guard general. Now in Xuchang City, whoever has the military power is the one who keeps his word."

"Hussars General Zhao Boran?"

Zhao Boran is Zhao Yan.

When Cao Rui patrolled east, he asked Zhao Yan to lead the army first to rescue Hefei.

It can be said that Zhao Yan is the most capable leader among Xuchang's important ministers.

It's a pity that he is a veteran.

Although Zhao Yan has never made a clear stance between Cao Shuang and Sima Yi.

But Cao Shuang did not trust the veterans of the Wei Dynasty, especially the veterans of the Four Dynasties and Three Dynasties.

Therefore, although Zhao Yan was a hussar general, the military power in his hands had long been taken away by Cao Shuang's brothers.

Until Xuchang was in crisis, the person who had the ability and could still serve as the guard of Xuchang was actually this old minister.

"There is another person assisting Zhao Boran in staying in Xuchang. He also needs to pay attention."

"who?"

"General Wang Boyu against the invaders."

Wang Boyu is Wang Ji.

During the reign of the late Emperor, Wang Boyu was dismissed for official duties.

Later, he was promoted and activated by Cao Shuang.

It's just that although Wang Ji was recommended by Cao Shuang to become an official again, he was very dissatisfied with Cao Shuang's monopoly on power, which caused a great bad atmosphere in the Wei state.

He even wrote "Shi Yao Lun" to ridicule current events.

This will definitely make Cao Shuang unhappy.

However, Wang Ji was recommended by him. If he were to be removed from office on the basis of his fault, it would appear that General Cao was ignorant.

Therefore, Wang Ji has only gained a redundant official position in recent years.

This time, Cao Shuang asked him to stay in Xuchang. In order to prevent others from saying that he was seeking revenge, he even gave Wang Ji the title of general against bandits.

Underneath the chaos in Xuchang, undercurrents surge.

——

Cao Shuang, who ran from Xuchang to Qiao County, was a little frightened. After learning that the Western Bandits did not go to attack Xuchang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he still felt that the small amount of forbidden troops in his hand was not enough, so he ordered Wang Ling to send troops to Qiao County to protect him in the name of the emperor's edict.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor suddenly arrived in Qiao County. Even though there were palaces in Qiao County, the constant influx of relatives, ministers and ministers made Qiao County seem chaotic and disorderly.
