Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Originally, Cao Teng had a good idea.

In the past two years, he has gradually faded out of the vortex of fighting for power and profit, and Cao Song is a relatively cowardly person. In Liang Ji's eyes, his value is not high, and he has not let Cao Song do any dirty work.Then let Cao Song marry the Hu family, the grass on the wall will face the grass on the wall, and the grass on the wall will hug each other. It is not necessary to ask him to go to a higher level, just keep his glory and wealth.

If the Cao family wants to take off, it depends on the generation of Cao Cao and Cao Sheng.

However, there was a thunder on the ground, which completely disrupted Cao Teng's plan.

"Is what you said true?"

Xiao Huangmen bowed his head: "Don't dare to deceive Da Changqiu."

"Why did it take so long to leak the news?"

"The General's mansion is fortified, who would dare to spy on the General's family affairs? If it wasn't for Bing Yilang's drunken slip of the tongue this time—"

Cao Teng held the cup and remained silent for a long time. The news he just received was too important, and it might cause a storm.It's just that it's too fast.There was originally a buffer zone between the Liang family and the emperor, but they didn't expect that there was a ton of explosives buried under the buffer zone!

He stared at the patterns on the table with ecstasy, and the past was vivid in his memory.The struggle between Emperor Han'an and Queen Mother Deng when he entered the palace as a child was not widely involved, but Cai Lun, a generation of Ming officials, was forced to commit suicide because of this; then Emperor Shun of Han and Queen Mother Yan, he accompanied Emperor Shun all the way. , From the abolition of the crown prince to the pro-government, I don’t know how many colleagues fell down and how many political enemies were killed in the middle; Shun Emperor died, and Liang’s relatives appeared on the stage. Just retired home in style.

Old age is too smooth.Especially after the birth of his grandchildren, he seemed to see the bright future and forget the cruelty of court struggle.Now if you try to mobilize all your political intuition, all you feel is the breath of a catastrophe.

too fast.

I haven't had time to finish the layout yet.

too fast.

None of his sons and nephews were alert to a massive bloody coup, and the grandchildren he had hoped for hadn't grown up yet.

"Bang!" The pottery cup shattered, and the sharp black fragments scattered all over the ground.

"Big... big Changqiu..."

Cao Teng stepped down from the seat, knelt down and bowed to the little yellow gate: "You are very kind to my family."

Xiao Huangmen panicked.He didn't dare to accept the big gift from the ancestor of the eunuchs. Although Cao Teng retired, he still lived in the legend that he survived the four dynasties, which was the goal everyone pursued. "Da Changqiu is wise, please ask Da Changqiu for advice. If the Holy Majesty and the Great General are at odds, then I will wait..."

Cao Teng bowed again: "Is there anything in the world where you can gain without taking risks? Just follow your heart."

Xiao Huangmen is also clever, and he understood it all at once.Cao Teng said "obey the original heart", what is the original heart, eunuchs serve the emperor, and being the emperor is the original heart.If what Cao Teng said was "judging the situation", it meant standing in Liangji.

"Don't worry, Da Changqiu, today's words will definitely not come out of my mouth." Even if it is leaked, it's nothing, just follow your heart and put it anywhere.

What worries Cao Teng even more is the character of the current emperor.Weakness is really weak, and stupidity is also really stupid. Let him suddenly take power, but he will not be able to distinguish between good and bad people in the Liang Party, and let him catch them all.Besides, Bing Yilang is not a smart person either.Two stupid people will only greatly increase the uncertainty of things.

Cao Teng didn't care about the broken pottery shards on the ground, went out without putting on his clothes, and went straight to look for Mrs. Wu.

"Give me an accurate word, how much time does the queen have?"

Mrs. Wu was weaving, when she heard this outrageous remark, she was so startled that three threads broke. "I see her like that, either this year or next year." Wu's face turned pale.

Cao Teng slowly squatted down and patted the loom: "It's too fast."

Mrs. Wu: "Don't scare me. Even if the Empress is not here, there is still noble Liang in the palace."

Cao Teng raised his head abruptly: "Which brother is the daughter of the great general, nobleman Liang?"

"This……"

"Why hasn't anyone looked into it before?"

"The Liang family is also a big and prosperous family. The nobleman Liang was adopted as a foster daughter by the general, and he was supposed to be born in a distant family. Why should we pay attention to such unpleasant things? Wait... wait, you It means..." Wu couldn't sit still, and stood up abruptly.

"That's right, Mr. Liang's surname is not Liang."

"Even if it's a foreign surname, as long as you control it well..."

"The great-niece and granddaughter of Empress Hedi Deng. The Deng family in Nanyang is a famous family for many generations." This is the family that assisted Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to fight for the world.The Empress Dowager Deng was the empress dowager with the longest regency, the highest reputation, and the best political vision in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. She saved the dynasty from danger several times.

Compared with the Deng family, the Liang family is grassroots.

If it wasn't for the fact that her brother was falsely accused of treason after the death of Queen Mother Deng, which caused the family to wither day by day, how could Liang Ji dare to hold the daughter of the Deng family hostage.

"This... this is too bold! Where did you get the news from?"

"Yilang Bingzun said a few words after he was drunk, and was overheard by a clever little Huangmen."

Wu was puzzled: "Why are you getting involved with Bing Yilang again?"

"Isn't Bing Zun's wife surnamed Deng?" Cao Teng told the old wife this terrible drama.Liang Guiren's original name was Deng Meng. Because she lost her father when she was young, she remarried with her mother and changed her surname several times, so few people knew that her original surname was Deng. Even the Deng family didn't necessarily pay attention to this little girl who remarried with her mother.Later, Liang Ji took a fancy to her beauty, forcibly changed her name to Liang Meng and sent her to the palace.Liang Ji is very powerful, and he has been educated by Liang Meng, so if no one mentions it, it can be regarded as a passable alliance.

The problem is that Liang Meng has a biological sister who is many years older than her, who is married to Yilang Bingzun.This older sister got married before her father and mother remarried, so she is still called Mrs. Deng.

Deng Meng became the daughter of the Liang family, and the direct branch of the Deng family who had already been tossed about as a foreign relative was indifferent, but the common branch where Deng Meng belonged to was not necessarily the case.Bing Zun, the brother-in-law of Deng, jumped out first, dissatisfied with Liang Jiduo in his speech. "We and the noble are the closest relatives, okay, let's get rid of the Liang family's superiors."

Simply out of wit.

It is conceivable that once Empress Liang dies, nobleman Liang will take her place.The first thing that went on was not the battle between the emperor and Liang Ji, but the battle between Bing Zun and Liang Ji's relatives.

Who is the real relative?

Is there even a question?Liang Ji pressed Bing Zun to death as if he pressed an ant to death.

What next?Brother-in-law is dead, is sister also pressed to death?Is the mother also pressed to death?Liang Meng, or Deng Meng, she has only a few relatives who can count on one hand!

If you want to avoid the break between Liang Guiren and Liang Ji, unless Bing Zun is as quiet as a chicken from the beginning.But Bing Zun... is a stick!

In every collapsed situation in history, there is a similar mallet.He may not be in a high position, but he must have the ability to leverage the situation.Cao Teng punched the loom: "I hate fools the most in my life."

Wu was silent for a moment. "how do you want to do it?"

Cao Teng kept a straight face and said nothing.

"Jixing, what are you going to do?"

The old man let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be many wrinkles on his beardless face in an instant. "I always have to plan for the younger generation."

"Jixing!"

"On the fourth day of June, discuss marriage with the Hu family. Do everything as soon as possible without delay."

The latest time limit is before Queen Liang dies.

But such a short amount of time is not enough for Cao’s family to clean up by boiling frogs in warm water—now the emperor’s banquet guests still arrange Cao Song’s seat in the same row as Liang Yin’s—unless they made great contributions to the emperor’s eradication of Liang’s family.But in this way, the reputation of betraying the old master can no longer be taken off.

No matter what you do, it's a dead end.

From A Sheng's point of view, from May onwards, his grandfather became very busy, staying in the dark room behind the plum garden all day long.

The orders he issued were also very strange, such as buying a house in Yanxili at a high price, and then reselling it at a low price to a middle-level eunuch named Guo.Another example, meeting with a few little Huangmen.You know, in order to get rid of the title of eunuch, the Cao family rarely interacts with eunuchs.Some of the properties on the outskirts of Luoyang began to be sold off.People from my hometown have visited several times, and I don't know what Cao Teng has arranged.

Cao Teng is obviously in a state of superposition of extreme anxiety and extreme calm.Ah Sheng, who went back to his home for class, naturally felt it.She purposely turned her back to the left and right, and asked her grandfather worriedly: "But there are going to be big changes?"

Cao Teng stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled: "There are more than ten males from three generations in my family, but Ruyi's guess is the best. You are lucky."

Ah Sheng frowned: "Does grandfather have a way to deal with it?"

"There are many ways to share the worries of the Holy One." But the emperor's IQ may not be able to see the little olive branch offered by the Cao family. "In short, let your new mother go through the door first. Time is tight, and it is difficult to examine her character carefully. If there is anything wrong with her, you can persuade your brother."

Ah Sheng nodded: "I understand."

In the face of a catastrophe, no matter how acute the contradiction in the back house is, it is a secondary contradiction.

On May 29 of this year, the capital had another solar eclipse.

The courtyard in the eastern suburbs where Ah Sheng and his elder brother lived was calm, completely different from a year ago.However, there was a big earthquake in the court.Historian Chen Shou wrote to impeach Liang Ji, arguing that the frequent occurrence of natural disasters was due to Liang Ji's control of the government, rampant abuse, and persecution of dissidents.

Liang Ji played his usual style and resolved it by force.Chen Shou died in prison before the anniversary of Ding's death on the second day of June.In July, Taiwei Huang Qiong was removed from office due to the earthquake, and replaced by Hu Guang, a grasshopper on the wall.Sangong no longer has an anti-Liang faction.It seemed that Liang Ji's power had reached its peak, but Cao Teng knew clearly in his heart that this was called the last madness, which in turn was called the darkness before dawn.

In the North Palace, Empress Liang Nvying was lying on the resplendent couch breathing hard, as if she was breathing the last glorious time of Liang's relatives.

In another palace a hundred meters away, the emperor and nobles were having fun.The supreme ruler of the empire is indeed obsessed with the gentle hometown created by this beauty, and he lacks the desire for power, and he is indeed willing to continue to get along with Liang because of this beauty.But except for a very small number of people, who would have thought that there was a murderous intent hidden in the nobleman's surname?
