Chapter 25: The General's Mansion
may really be because Yuan Shao has been smooth sailing recently, and his whole temperament is very different from before. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info last time I saw Yuan Shao at night, he was still a "hermit", although he gathered a large group of anti-eunuch scholars on weekdays, but he had no official position, no rights, and the whole person was more like a chivalrous man. Although he has the aura of looking forward to himself, in Gao Ye's eyes, he is more like Guo Jing written by Mr. Jin Yong.
And now it is very different, not only in the control of the eight schools in the West Garden, but also won the trust of He Jin, and gave He Jin advice, He Jin also chose to adopt most of them, and the limelight can be said to be unique for a while. Compared with the past, Yuan Shao now has more of a hint of spring breeze and self-confidence in his talent. But on top of self-confidence, Gao Ye also saw a trace of pride. Perhaps for Yuan Shao, this kind of arrogance is brought out of his bones, although he is very willing to fold and hand it over, but this kind of arrogance cannot be broken no matter what.
As soon as I entered the lobby, He Jin, who was laughing, was ushered in: "Haha, Mingxi, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss the old man." Gao Ye hurriedly saluted, but was pulled up by He Jin, and dragged Gao Ye's arm into the lobby. Gao Ye realized that there were other people in the lobby. After a closer look, they all know each other, Cao Cao, Xu You, Xun You, and Chen Lin are all here, and it seems that they are discussing something.
"Come on, Mingxi, you're here just in time, we're discussing how to deal with Zhang Rang and the others. You're here, just in time to discuss it. ”
"Since the death of the first emperor, Zhang Rang and others have been like frightened birds. Just capture and ask for the guilt, why bother so much? Gao Ye asked.
"Mingxi doesn't know. That Zhang Rang was quite cunning, hiding in the Queen Mother, and I don't know how to move the Queen Mother, my sister, I just don't allow me to capture them. I can't help it. He Jin shook his head and said, "In addition, Empress Dowager Dong issued a decree to let the ten permanent servants participate in the government affairs. In the past, there were many officials in the eunuch party, but now they are in collusion and frequently put pressure on me, a general, and I really don't have much to do. Thanks to the beginning, he really deserves to be a famous disciple with outstanding intelligence! ”
Sure enough, after listening to Yuan Shao's words, although his expression did not change much, the smile had been vividly reflected in his eyes. Looking at Cao Cao again, his face was bitter, he always felt that Yuan Shao gave He in and out of bad ideas, but there was no way, He Jin agreed with Yuan Shao very much, but his own opinions were always refuted by He Jin, and he was always blamed by him, I really don't know what to say.
"In that case, I still listen to the first brother's opinion." Gao Ye immediately said to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was not polite, stood up directly, and said to everyone: "The current situation can be regarded as a great good. Although we were waiting for the killing of Jian Shuo before, we could not complete the whole work, and the generals had to call illness for this reason and not participate in the funeral of the first emperor. But now the general has mobilized the fierce generals of the Quartet, Ding Tingshi, Gao Taishou, and Dong Taishou have all led troops to the capital, and Wang Kuang and Bao Xin have also returned to their hometowns to recruit troops. Empress Dowager He felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly sent all the eunuchs who did evil on weekdays, such as Zhongchang and Xiaohuangmen, back home. They no longer have the protection of the Queen Mother.
Back then, the general Dou Wu was ready to kill his pet, but he didn't plan secretly, and the five battalions of soldiers and horses he called were all eunuchs, so he suffered from them and brought about his own destruction. Now the general is in a high position, commanding the army. The generals are all handsome in the world, disdainful of being in the same stream with the eunuchs, and are willing to do their best for the generals. Such a good time, since the eunuchs should be swept away, and my Han will be given a Qingming world. In the past, the unfinished work of Dou Wu and Chen Fan has been realized by us today. ”
Gao Yexian listened to Yuan Shao's almost inflammatory words, and couldn't help but smile lightly, he underestimated the people of this era, it is not uncommon to talk about the future generations, give speeches on stage, and incite the masses, but in this Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago, it is really rare to hear such an infectious speech. Even Cao Cao was excited, I'm afraid he also felt that the future was great.
"Now Ding Tingshi and Gao Tai are guarding the outside of the city, Dong Tai is guarding the Sunset Pavilion, and the inside of Luoyang City is under our control. The relatives of the eunuchs in various places have been arrested and imprisoned by the general, and what we have to do now is to let the Queen Mother give an order, and we will go to arrest Zhang Rang and others. ”
Gao Ye obviously saw a big confusion on He Jin's face when Yuan Shao said that the eunuch's family was arrested and imprisoned, but Yuan Shaozheng said it up, and He Jin felt that Yuan Shao was very strategic and important to him, so he didn't interrupt him, it seems that He Jin is ready to pinch his nose and admit it, even if the order was not given by himself, now it has to be issued by himself.
Because judging from the results, this order is still very beneficial to his side, if he debunks Yuan Shao now and says that he gave the order privately, doesn't it mean that he has no knowledge of people and cannot adopt reasonable advice! Don't do such things that damage your image.
"But Brother Benchu, haven't you thought about beware of Dong Zhuo?" Gao Ye couldn't help frowning.
"Oh? Is Mingxi quite dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo? ”
"As I said earlier, this eunuch disaster has existed in ancient and modern times. But if you want to eradicate the eunuchs, why bother to come with a large army, you only need a jailer to do it! That Dong Zhuo has always been ambitious, and now that he is recruited, I think there will be trouble. Cao Cao said on the side.
"Mengde! That Dong Zhuo has been guarding the western frontier all these years, and he can be regarded as diligent, and I think he is also a loyal and righteous person. He Jin forked the road on the side, and Gao Ye could clearly see a trace of dissatisfaction on He Jin's face.
"The general's words are wrong." Xun You arched his hand and said, "Then Dong Zhuo's previous crusade against the Yellow Turban was unsuccessful, so I won't mention it." In the third year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu rebelled, and when Situ Zhang Wen led the army to crusade, he was arrogant and rude. Zhang Wen's six-way soldiers and horses were defeated, and only he returned with his whole army, and he also received a heavy reward from the imperial court for this. It is not known why he returned with all his troops. Besides, this time, he Dong Zhuo originally brought people to Luoyang, and the general sent a counselor to dissuade him from entering Beijing, but he did not obey and entered Henan, and even arrived outside Luoyang City for a time. With such behavior, can't the general see his Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition? If it weren't for the kind of reprimand, he really had no excuse, how could he retreat west to the Sunset Pavilion. Therefore, the lower officials agree with Captain Cao's point of view, this Dong Zhuo must be guarded against. ”
"Gongda is too worried." Yuan Shao also came out at this time and retorted, "Although this Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops last time, he was a little hesitant, but he had no other intentions. Moreover, it was because of his soldiers that he was in the city, which made the Queen Mother dare not take in the ten permanent servants. Also, Bo Gong also said that he should be a loyal person, so there is no need to doubt it. ”
Gao Ye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Cai Yong still said this? How did you not know? Then he asked, "When did Bo Gong say this?" ”
"Not long ago, Bo Jiao Gong returned to Luoyang, although he concentrated on his studies, but I also visited from time to time. At that time, it happened that the doctor persuaded Dong Zhuo to retire, and I talked to Bo Jiao about it, and Bo Jiao Gong told me. Yuan Shao said with a smile, "Bo Zhuo Gong has had several relationships with Dong Zhuo, so I believe that he will not talk about it." ”
Gao Ye couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, I went away, and there is such a story? In later life, he has always wondered why Cai Yong would be an official for Dong Zhuo, and even when Dong Zhuo died, he cried next to his corpse, and was killed by Wang Yun. Could it be that the two of them still have some unknown friendship? Also, Yuan Shao said that Cai Yong returned to Luoyang, when he came back, he didn't know! And this Cai Yong is also, when he returned to Luoyang from Jiangnan, he didn't even go to his Yingchuan to sit, which is too strange. Even if you are afraid that you will hook up with his baby girl Cai Yan, but none of those friends in the past, you have not seen any of them?
But now is not the time for Gao Ye to wonder about these things, because He Jin is asking his opinion on the extermination of the Ten Permanent Servants. Gao Ye had to get up and answer, "General......"
"Eh, Mingxi, just sit down and answer, you don't have to be so restrained."
Gao Ye couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then arched his hand, thanking He Jin for his generosity, and then said: "Since you have stood up, stand up and say." After sitting for a long time, my legs are a little numb. ”
When everyone heard Gao Ye's words, they all laughed, and even He Jin looked like tears of laughter were about to come out. As for Cao Cao, he is the most familiar with Gao Ye, and he knows Gao Ye the best, so he naturally knows the funny side of his personality, but he didn't expect that he would use such a way to relieve his embarrassment on such an occasion.
"According to the night, the Ten Permanent Servants are not to worry about now. All you need to do is send your troops and take them to prison. As for the Queen Mother, no matter how bewitched the Ten Standing Servants are, they can't compare to the general and her flesh-and-blood. It's just that the general needs to be careful, if the ten permanent servants are cornered, I'm afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry. And this time the eunuch counterattacked, it will not be like the last assassination in the big market. After Gao Ye finished saying this, he looked at Yuan Shao with a playful expression. Yuan Shao suddenly felt that he was blushing a little, originally he felt that he was planting the blame and doing it seamlessly, and the facts also proved that the people of Luoyang were convinced of the assassination of the general by the Ten Standing Servants. How do you know that Gao Ye only came to Luoyang, so he saw this matter clearly.
However, Gao Ye didn't expose it, and he could only laugh a few times, and Gao Ye didn't care about him, but continued: "Therefore, the general must be cautious, especially when entering and leaving the palace, so as not to be taken advantage of by the ten permanent servants." ”
"Haha, Mingxi said this, the old man remembered it. To say that these ten permanent servants are really hateful! Dare to assassinate me in the downtown area, hmph, this time, they will be eradicated. ”
Gao Ye saw He Jin in this state, I am afraid that he didn't know that the assassination was just an act, and also, if he knew that it was just a scene, I am afraid that his series of reactions would become strange, and the result would be that everyone found out that he was planting the blame. Since he didn't know, everything he did was still what he was like a general, and it was even more convincing. It seems that this Yuan Shao is really making small moves under He Jin's nose.
