Chapter 094: Discussing the General's Mansion
Although Cao Cao was a little curious about this mysterious Chen Palace, he knew that he had more important things to do, so he made sure that there was no one around, so he went straight to the mansion of the great general He Jin.
The General's Mansion was brightly lit at the moment, and He Jin was anxiously walking around the hall, he was born burly, and his face was covered with pockmarks, which was indescribably ugly, but now he was already a dignified uncle and a great general, so all the scholars regarded him as a hope to bring down the Ten Standing Servants.
"Why hasn't Mengde come back yet? Won't you be outnumbered and killed by Zhang Rang's eunuch, right? ”
It was Shangshu Zheng Tai who spoke, he stood tall and frowned, although Zhang Rang concealed this assassination, it was impossible to hide such a big movement before, not to mention that He Jin was still lurking outside Zhang Rang's mansion for a lot of details.
He Jin's staff Bao Xin also looked worried: "Meng Dedu is thirty years old, and he is still so impulsive, I thought that after practicing with Huangfu Gong for a few years, I could grow a little, but I didn't think that I would jump into it regardless of the fire or water in front of me, Zhang Rang's master in the mansion is like a cloud, general, you have to think of a way quickly!" ”
"Hey, what can I do, this Cao Mengde does things alone, just do it when you think about it, his junior brother Gao Yi is also affected, if it is really taken by Zhang Rang, a shrewd person like Zhang Rang will definitely contact my head, and tomorrow I will join Your Majesty, Your Majesty may be angry at any time to dismiss my official!"
A chill felt in Bao's confidence: It's all this time, what He Jin is thinking about is not how to rescue Cao Cao, but whether he can keep his position, which is really chilling.
"Hahahaha! I'm worried! Cao Cao's voice came from outside, and a burst of surprise immediately appeared on Bao Xin's face, and he ran out quickly, only to see Cao Cao come back safe and sound.
It's not safe and sound, because Cao Cao's clothes are now broken into pieces, and there is still a lot of soil on his body, which shows that he has experienced a hard battle.
"Meng De, you are really scared to death to me, you said that you didn't call me to assassinate Zhang Rang, it's really unkind!" Bao Xin looked Cao Cao up and down to see if there was anything wrong, and immediately punched Cao Cao in the heart.
"Hey, Yuncheng, you can be light, you don't know how powerful those guards in Zhang Rang's Mansion were just now? I almost can't come back! Cao Cao pretended to be in great pain and clutched his chest, as if he had really suffered some internal injuries.
"Hey, hey, you're still acting in front of me, the Heavenly Sword that the Emperor Fu gave you is a peerless divine weapon, cutting gold and breaking jade, no problem, will anyone be able to hurt you?" Bao Xin laughed loudly, but his hanging heart just now finally let go.
Among the many staff members under He Jin, Bao Xin only has the best relationship with Cao Cao, and the two have always talked about everything, and they simply regard each other as confidants.
Cao Cao had a straight face, with a serious look: "Yuncheng, what you say is nonsense, can it be said that as long as a three-year-old child takes my sword, he can also kill a swordsman with unparalleled martial arts in one move?" ”
"Well, this is right, Mengde, you are really ruthless when you speak!" Bao Xin looked speechless, this Cao Cao didn't forget to make fun of him at any time.
The two entered the front hall while talking, He Jin and everyone had already arrived at the door, and when they saw Cao Cao's appearance, they couldn't help but laugh again: "Didn't Meng De go to assassinate Zhang Rang?" Why does it look like someone is being hunted down? Hahahaha! ”
Cao Cao didn't care, when he saw He Jin, he immediately resumed his serious appearance, bowed down and bowed: "Meng De is incompetent, he didn't assassinate those eunuchs, and I hope the general will forgive his sins!" ”
"Hahaha, what's the crime? Meng De is dedicated to the country, and it can be seen every day, but we have already expected this result, you don't have to blame yourself! He Jin waved his hand and motioned for Cao Cao to get up.
"However, although this assassination was unsuccessful, I learned a few secrets of the Ten Standing Attendants!" Cao Cao got up proudly, but the conversation changed, which made He come in: "What secret?" Meng De said quickly? ”
Cao Cao looked at the rest of the people and others, and his face was embarrassed: "This matter is very important, and I can only talk to the general alone, so I ......"
Anger appeared on everyone's faces slightly: "We are all the confidants of the general, after you are a eunuch, what qualifications do you have to let us take refuge temporarily?" ”
Cao Cao Zhengse said: "Although Cao is a eunuch, his heart has always stood here with the general, and this heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon!" ”
Seeing this, Bao Xin immediately came out to play a round: "It's all your own people, why make such a big fuss?" You and Meng De are the right-hand men of the general, and they are indispensable, so why do you and me, do you want those eunuchs to look at our jokes? ”
He Jin didn't want to offend Zheng Tai and other famous officials because of Cao Cao alone, so he waved his hand: "It's okay for them to listen, I am not new to the little tricks of Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and those guys, and the worst thing is to fabricate a reason to dismiss my general's officer, I'll wait!" ”
Cao Cao shook his head, but his words were amazing: "Then it's good to listen to you, one, Ma Yuanyi should not only contact the court at that time, but Zhang Rang himself!" After Tang Zhou whistleblowered, Zhang Rang planted all the charges on Feng Yu in order to clear his suspicion! ”
"......" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they couldn't help but gasp, He Jin was even more surprised, if this news is true, then it is very likely that Zhang Rang's next step is to target him.
Cao Cao watched everyone's reactions, smiled secretly in his heart, and then continued: "There is another thing, Jian Shuo intercepted Gao Yi's urgent letter from Nanyang, which is about Gao Yi to build a righteous monument for the Yellow Turban victims, Zhang Rang plans to take this opportunity to preemptively get this money for Gao Yi from His Majesty, and after some exploitation, send it to Gao Yi, not only to be a favor, but also to accept Gao Yi as his own!" ”
This news was even more shocking, and Zheng Tai said angrily: "I really don't know what to say, how could Gao Yi think of erecting a monument to the Yellow Turbans?" This is a great rebellion! ”
"Wrong! Zheng Shangshu's statement is fallacious! Cao Cao looked at Zheng Tai who was speaking, and suddenly said in surprise, "According to my understanding of my junior brother Gao Yi, he guessed that this letter would be intercepted early on, and this letter was just his temptation, because he was still unclear about the situation in the political field, so he exposed himself naked to show us, and at the same time to show His Majesty and the eunuchs, the junior brother himself does not make any decisions, but gives the decision to His Majesty, the generals and the eunuch forces to make decisions, which can be described as clever!" ”
Zheng Tai's face immediately became ugly, and he said quietly: "Meng De himself said that this new Nanyang Taishou Gao Yi is your junior brother Cao Mengde, and you Cao Mengde as a senior brother, how can you not speak to your junior brother?" ”
"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled, "Not to mention whether I, Cao Cao, am such a person who protects his shortcomings, the reason why I am so sure is because of my understanding of a person, this person is now the think tank of his junior brother, and his name Zheng Shangshu should have also heard it, that is, he is frustrated!" ”
He Jin was taken aback by everyone, and said in a lost voice: "Could it be that the Guangping man who served Shi Tianfeng highly praised him?" ”
Cao Cao smiled and nodded: "It's this person!" ”
