Although Huan Fan's words were inevitably judged by the villain's heart, they could think about it carefully, but they made some sense.

Sima Yi's foundation is too clean, and he is like a perfect person for all ages.

Nothing left to anyone any handle.

It is incredible to create such a record for decades of official career. The key is that Sima Yi has a good position. Since he was recruited by Emperor Taizu, he has been promoted to the position of four dynasties and has made outstanding contributions.

A person without any stain is the most terrifying thing. This means that he does not have a chance to hurt the other party, and if the other party wants to find your fatal point and give a fatal blow, he will definitely not be able to escape.

He Yan's throat moved, nodded and nodded, "You are right, I have a brief look."

Cao Shuang chuckled and said, "What Huan Sinong meant is that Sima Yi deliberately pretended to have no stain on his body in order to clean himself, but in fact he was planning to be ill. At this age of the old thief and he was in a high position, if he had ambitions, there were only two possibilities: either he wanted to give me away or he planned to usurp the throne?"

Speaking of the four words "planning to usurp the throne", the faces of the people present changed.

"General, be careful."

Huan Fan frowned and stroked his beard with his right hand. He could clearly feel that Cao Shuang was no longer as she used to be. He thought that when the late emperor was alive, he praised him for being humble and cautious. At this time, he had already been blinded by all kinds of flattery and the desire for power to become arrogant, and even such rebellious words could be said.

Cao Shuang waved his hand and said indifferently: "The Grand Minister's Farmer, there is no need to be nervous. Sima Yi has occupied military power for so long that he has given too much benefit to the aristocratic families over the years. When Taizu raised his army, we have followed closely, contributed money and sold our wealth to support us. How could such merit be comparable to those of aristocratic families like a fence-branded family?"

Huan Fan smiled bitterly, knowing that Cao Shuang was holding her breath, and comforted him: "General, you can't say that. When Taizu started his family, he was surrounded by clans. But when he was in power, he had already obtained six of the nine provinces in the world. To control such a huge imperial career, he had to appoint aristocratic families. In order to establish the name of Wei, Emperor Wen had to set up a nine-rank Zhongzheng system to give benefits to the ministers of aristocratic families who had been consuming Han fortune for generations, which led to these people from Han ministers to Wei ministers."

Cao Shuang laughed and snorted, "No matter what, since Sima Yi wants to fight me and the aristocratic families and families want to fight with me to the end, I don't have to avoid it anymore. The officials in the court, whoever keeps whoever leaves, is all in my mind. I can't deal with Sima Yi for the time being, and I still have a way for other ministers."

Huan Fan smiled bitterly and said, "But - this is easy to lose the hope of the ministers. I hope the general's attitude will slow down and advance with hardness and softness. Otherwise, it will be easy to drive all the ministers to Sima Yi's side."

Cao Shuang shook his head and said seriously: "I am not in my forties. In my prime, Sima Yi is already 64 years old. How many years can the old guy live? Once he dies, his second son Sima Shi and Sima Zhaoyong are mediocre and have no prestige. What's the point of worrying about? This time I will lead my troops to Liaodong and kill the Yan bandits. This will not only have prestige in the court, but also establish majesty in the army, which will also be of great benefit to gradually regaining military and political power in the future."

This is true. Huan Fan, Xiahou Xuan, and He Yan all nodded subconsciously.

Xiahou Xuan said: "General, how are you going to arrange this expedition?"

Cao Shuang smiled and said, "Ding Mi, He Yan stayed to rule Luoyang, I am the commander, you serve as the general of the Western Expedition, and as for Huan Siong as the general of the army. The expedition to Liaodong is of great importance. I have ordered the Youzhou tribes next to Liaodong to hoard food and grass. Wu Qiu Jian led 20,000 elite troops in Youzhou. I personally led 50,000 imperial troops to join him from Liaoxi to march into the old nest of Yan bandits. Taichu took my name and went to Qingzhou to join Tianyu, and raised a total of 30,000 naval troops to cross the sea to defeat the thieves. In this battle, 100,000 troops were raised, and even if the Yan bandits had wings, they could not escape death."

Xiahou Xuan showed joy on his face. He had always served as the Huangmen Minister and the Yulin Supervisor in the court. He was both not big or small. Now he was able to control military power. Of course, he had to take advantage of the opportunity to conquer Liaodong to gilt these clan relatives who had never been to the battlefield.

With military power and prestige, it will be convenient for promotion in the future.

"Thank you for the promotion of the general."

Cao Shuang smiled, "Sima Yi is indeed experienced in military use, which is why the late emperor had to use him. Unfortunately, in the defeat of Liaodong, his prestige has been lost half. Now, as long as we destroy the Yan thief, we can achieve this merit and show our authority. In addition, the power in the court belongs to me, if Sima Yi is a thief, I don't want to make a fuss too hard, and I can give him a chance to spend his old age."

Everyone laughed together, and Huan Fan laughed a few times in agreement, always feeling uneasy.

The next day, Cao Shuang announced a manifesto in the name of the emperor, which was written by Xiahou Xuan and sent a list of states and counties.

His manifesto was justified and justified, and for example, he counted the three major crimes of Gongsun Xiu and angrily denounced the four generations of Gongsun’s family:

"Yan King Gongsun Xiu: In the past, he surrendered to Wei and respected the lord, and lived with his ministers. In fact, he had evil intentions and poisoned people and ghosts. There were three crimes that could not be punished. One of them was called Wei ministers, who secretly passed away, and had his head and rats at both ends. He did not obey the king's transformation and peeped at the Middle Earth. This was unfaithful.

Second, the annexation of the clan ranks was a great crime. In the past, Goguryeo and Wei were vassal states, so the King of Dongchuan was originally a Han rank, and they were all the tools of the emperor. They guarded the northern borders and were the ministers of Wei. Xiu relied on his strong troops and strong horses to destroy the king of the country, destroyed the ancestral temples, and cut off the descendants. He also moved his population, plundered his gold and silver, and the women and children cried, and heard from each other thousands of miles away. This was unkind.

Third, he held heavy troops and did not send protons, and his rituals and music were broken, and he looked at the king's laws. I once heard that in ancient times, loyal ministers and vassal kings led their troops outside, so that they could be confined to the capital to calm people's hearts. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone has followed it, and has been passed down from ancient times to the present for thousands of years. This is unrighteous.

Fourth, welcoming the throne, holding armor and forcing the palace, and the father and son were robbed. The King of Yan cultivated power and imprisoned his father in the deep palace, which was unfilial.

His great-grandfather Du was originally a minor official in Liaodong, with a weak body and a poor personality. He was attached to the rebellion of Dong Zhuo at the end of the Han Dynasty, and was crowned as a monkey, and was named the marquis of Liao, and was often arguing with the marquis of the Liao Dynasty.

His grandfather Kang plundered several counties in Qingzhou, but later defeated him and fled north in a hurry. The man was cunning and repeated, and he benefited from the Yuan family and attached him. He flattered him like a villain. If he lost power, he would kill the two Yuans and offer his contribution to Taizu.

His father Gongsun Yuan only made profits. He first rebelled Wei to support Wu, and then rebelled Wu to establish himself as a king, and abandoned righteousness when he saw profits. He was actually a villain.

Now we will lead our troops to attack them, clear the world, and safeguard the four seas. I ordered the general Shuang to conquer the western general Xuan, and to command the imperial guards. They will all have their troops from the two states, including 100,000 armors to attack the Yan bandits. If they have achieved cultivation, they will be granted ten thousand houses and rewarded ten million yuan. If the subordinate generals and officials surrendered, do not ask any questions. It is advisable to be kind and trustworthy, and to reward the world, and all of them will know that the Holy Dynasty is in a difficult situation."

This manifesto can be said to have spurned the four generations of Yan State to the point of being bloody. While sending out the proclamation of various prefectures and counties, it was also quickly sent to him.

Gongsun Xiu yawned, feeling a little sleepy, and called the officials from his left and right to read the manifesto.

The inner official was an old eunuch who served in the palace since Gongsun Kang was in power. His surname was Chang's name was Zhong.

The old eunuch's complexion was pale like an ordinary person, and his voice was sharp and harsh, just like a sound that could only be made by a salty hand when he reached into the neckline of a woman.

Chang Zhong glanced at the content and saw that the manifesto cursed the King of Yan himself, his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather in various ways, with extremely vicious words.

This made Chang Zhong furious and smiled bitterly: "The king forgives his crimes, and the manifesto contains great disrespect, and it is a humiliating king. I dare not read it."

He glared at his eyes and snorted, "If you think boldly, I will forgive you for not guilty. I will understand every word and sentence, so don't hide it."

Chang Zhong had no choice but to bite the bullet and read the content of the manifesto word by word, his legs trembled, and his soul was pulled away.

After listening quietly, Gongsun Xiu couldn't help laughing at the sky and said to his ministers: "Cao Cao praised Chen Lin's manifesto like an arrow, but he would be regained when he heard it. It seems that there was no successor to Wei State, and he wrote such a vulgar manifesto. After hearing it, he could not say that it was a cure for the wind, even if it was tickling it, it would be a hundred and eight thousand miles away."

The ministers dared not laugh with each other. When the King of Yan heard this, he could be said to be clear about people or self-deprecating. If they echoed and laughed a few times, the nature would be different.

He took the manifesto from Chang Zhong's hand, threw it on the ground, stepped on it with his right foot, and said loudly: "Cao Shuang is too bullying the orphans. Since this is the case, he will send troops to set off immediately. The Wei thieves come here without hesitation. We should form a formation and camp, and all the boats and horses are ready to welcome him, so that he can know how powerful the soldiers of Dayan are."
