Chapter 57: The Evil Remnant
Last time, it was said that Yuan Shao was once again robbed of the limelight by Cao Cao.
This is actually to blame Yuan Shao himself, he followed He Jin's thinking, and wanted to answer He Jin's question first, and then talk about specific things.
But people think the opposite of what they think when they speak and what they listen to. When people speak, they will first talk about their own basis, then progress up to the next level, and finally make a summary. But the obedient person's train of thought is going down, because the person's attention is decreasing with time, and he can still remember the first sentence very firmly, but the more he listens, the less he can remember later, and he may not even know what the other person said. So the first sentence becomes the conclusion that the obedient person hears, and he will think about it.
Therefore, we should pay attention to technology when speaking, and we must first state the conclusion and key points, and then focus on this center.
Cao Cao did just that, and extinguished He Jin's anger in time.
It's just that He Jin felt that he was "played" twice by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and he began to calm down. When I heard that the Taiping Sect of the dead eunuchs was going to rebel, I thought that I could finally kill those dead eunuchs, and then I was overjoyed when I had the final say in the court, and I didn't think about what was going on.
Didn't those dead eunuchs rely on the emperor's favor for them and keep working against themselves? How could it be that the emperor would rebel? But the Taiping Sect is indeed not a good bird, it chatters all day long, always bewitching those poor ghosts and muddy legs, and it is annoying to look at it. General Ben has long looked at them unpleasantly. They were going to rebel, and General Ben was not at all surprised. It's just that what the specific situation is, we must ask clearly, don't end up killing those dead eunuchs, but put yourself in.
He Jin figured it out, so he arranged seats for the people present to ask the reason for the matter.
He Jin put up the shelf and asked Cao Cao from above: "What is going on?" ”
Cao Cao also knew that he had robbed Yuan Shao of the opportunity to perform twice just now, and he was afraid that his good friend who was cautious would blame him, so he wanted to give him this opportunity, so he pulled Yuan Shao's sleeve and signaled to him.
Yuan Shao got the hint and didn't shirk it, because he originally wanted to rush to behave well in front of the general, so he respectfully picked up the topic and said what Cao Cao told him from beginning to end, as if he was really on the scene.
When Yuan Shao was halfway through, He Jin's thoughts had already deserted, and he felt that Yuan Shao was too verbose, and he said so much, the content was just one sentence: The person who knows the inside story of the Taiping Sect's rebellion is in Sili Yamen.
He Jin's impression of Yuan Shao just now was not very good, but now he can't even speak well, and the young man next to him is well-founded, humble, and has a good impression of him.

When Yuan Shao's performance was over, He Jin asked Cao Cao, "What's your name?" ”
Cao Cao replied respectfully: "Cao Cao, the current position of the councillor." ”
He Jin thought for a while, and remembered that there really seemed to be such a number one person as Cao Cao in the court, who was the son of the former Taiwei, and he looked down on Cao Cao a little in his heart, and continued to confirm: "You are the son of Cao Jugao Cao Taiwei?" ”
Cao Cao humbly replied, "That's my father." ”
It turned out that he was the grandson of a eunuch. He Jin hated the eunuch very much in his heart, hated the rest of the people, and even his original good impression of Cao Cao collapsed.
Although He Jin didn't like the two people in front of him very much, he felt that what they said was very important to him, and this was a great opportunity to eradicate the eunuchs. But because he had a bad impression of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, He Jin felt that they couldn't believe it, and this matter had to be clarified a little more before making a decision.
So He Jin asked again: "How do you know about this?" ”
This time, Yuan Shao didn't dare to rush to say it, because there was no reason for him to say it in front of the general that Cao Cao told him, how embarrassing it was, but don't let the general think that I look ugly.
Cao Cao didn't embarrass Yuan Shao, and spoke directly: "Tell the general, this matter was told to me by my friend Zheng Wu, he is the official of the Sili Yamen, and that person testifies that Tang Zhou was brought into the Yamen by him." ”
He Jin listened to it and wanted to continue to confirm, so he asked, "Where are the others?" I have something to ask him. ”
Cao Cao replied: "Just wait outside the mansion gate." ”
He Jin said to He Meng: "Ask someone to bring that Zheng Wu in." ”
After waiting for a while, Zheng Wu followed the people in the house into the living room, knelt on one knee, made a big salute to He, and said, "Xiaomin Zheng Wu, I have seen the general." ”
He Jin said: "No courtesy." He raised his hand and motioned for Zheng Wu to get up, and then asked, "How did you know about the Taiping Sect's rebellion?" Tell me about it from start to finish. ”
Zheng Wu said it again from beginning to end, but it had been more than half a day since the incident, and some details were not very clear.
However, He Jin didn't investigate it in detail, he just wanted to confirm the authenticity of this matter. Listening to Zheng Wu's words in detail, he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and stopped him from continuing. After all, Zheng Wu is not Yuan Shao, and he doesn't even need the least respect.
He Jin took off a token from his waist, handed it to He Meng, and said to He Meng: "You go and gather the family soldiers, take my token and go to the Sili Yamen to bring that Tang Zhou back to me." ”
Before He Meng could take the token, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao left their seats first, came to the field, saluted He, and said, "Shao (Cao) is willing to serve the general." ”
Although He Jin didn't like the two of them very much in his heart, they said that they wanted to help, and it was difficult for him to refuse. If you let others know that you refuse to do things for your juniors and arrange yourself to be jealous of your talents, then who will dare to take refuge in yourself and do things for yourself in the future?
And before this thing came to fruition, everyone couldn't sleep, and they couldn't sleep, did they have to keep facing the two of them and waiting for He Meng's return? Then it's better to let them follow He Meng over and go to the study to rest by themselves.
Therefore, He Jin also generously allowed Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's request.
When Yuan Shao and He Meng followed, He Jin said to He Xian very affectionately, "You should also go back to the room to rest first." ”
He Xian said: "My son is not sleepy, let my son accompany his father here." ”
He Jin listened, and felt very useful in his heart, feeling that his son was very sensible, but these years are not forgiving, after such a toss just now, he now feels dizzy and wants to take a break. He Xian said, "Go to the study for my father to take a rest." When He Meng comes back, you bring him to see me. After speaking, he also left the living room, leaving He Xian alone there.
