Chapter 20, He Jin summoned
"What?" Zu Zhao asked with a confused look. "Mengde's flying pigeon biography? No, I don't. Zu Zhao felt in his heart that something good was about to happen.
Huangfu Song saw Zu Zhao's appearance and knew that he hadn't read Cao Cao's flying pigeon biography, so he said, "I thought Meng De sent you another flying pigeon biography." That's right, Meng De said that the recent situation in Luoyang has been relatively turbulent, and I hope you can go to Luoyang and take care of him. ”
Zu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will leave for Luoyang in the near future." Uncle Huangfu, don't worry, I'll give Meng Dexiu a letter to ask him to be relieved. ”
Huangfu Song nodded and continued to do his own thing, while Zu Zhao stayed where he was, pondering for a long time. Based on the current situation, Kyoto is likely to be in turmoil. But no matter what, my top priority now is to go to Luoyang.
In fact, Zu Zhao still has a little expectation in his heart, that is, he believes that Cao Cao will be forced to escape from Luoyang soon, and he will meet Chen Gong on the road, and it is at this time that he said that sentence: "Rather teach me to bear the people of the world, and stop teaching the people of the world to bear me." At the same time, it was precisely because of this incident that Chen Gong left. And Chen Gong is definitely a talent, so if you can use Chen Gong for yourself, it will inevitably become a big help for yourself.
Zu Zhao thought about what else he needed to pay attention to, but he couldn't figure out anything for the time being, so he could only do it. After returning to the house, he tidied up and walked towards Luoyang City alone, this time Zu Zhao went alone, sometimes there are fewer people than more people, in fact, it is more advantageous and the mobility is better.
Another point is that after Zu Zhao arrived in Luoyang, he was able to use the intelligence network of the Chamber of Commerce. On the way, Zu Zhao suddenly thought that although the Chamber of Commerce has the function of listening to news, the main role of the Chamber of Commerce is to make money, and if his role is not clear in the future, then it may go astray.
Therefore, Zu Zhao conceived in his mind the prototype of his own intelligence organization, which was temporarily divided into Tianluo and the earth network, and the main function of Tianluo was to investigate the news, so the ground network was mainly to sort out the news and carry out assassinations. After the prototype of the net appeared in Zu Zhao's mind, Zu Zhao couldn't think of who to hand it over to for a while.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Zu Zhao didn't bother anymore, slapped the horse's butt fiercely, and rode away.
Zu Zhao entered Luoyang City without identifying himself to find the Ten Standing Servants and Zuo Feng. The Ten Standing Servants are destined to come to an end, because once Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty dies, He Jin will definitely not continue to let the eunuchs dictatorship, and He Jin, who was born as a butcher, is afraid that the Ten Standing Servants will be wiped out.
But Zu Zhao, who lived in the inn, had not yet heated his buttocks, but Cao Cao had already arrived. Cao Cao smiled: "Liechen, you will come to you non-stop until you come." I want to do something big with you. ”
Zu Zhao smiled: "Listen to me." ”
"Come with me and you'll know the way." Cao Cao said with a mysterious smile.
Zu Zhao knew the road with Cao Cao, Cao Apu must have taken the road of He Jin, and through this opportunity, he could also know more about the road, and he could also understand He Jin and better grasp the temporary situation in Luoyang.
When they arrived at He Jin's house, Cao Cao and Zu Zhao sat down separately. He Jin also knew something about Cao Cao, and he knew that he had a lot of revenge, and the two began to chat casually.
Zu Zhao listened to them with relish on the side, and even heard some familiar names from their mouths from time to time. For example, Cao Cao mentioned that when he encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army in Runan and Yingchuan, he performed well in Xiapi County, and Shang Shutai had reviewed his merits, set his reward, and directly promoted him to Sima of other departments. There is also Cao Cao, the captain of this cavalry, who was also promoted to the prime minister of Jinan because of his outstanding military exploits.
Hearing the conversation between Cao Cao and He Jin, Zu Zhao couldn't help but secretly sigh, these are all princes who will dominate one side in the future! Now in He Import, it is just a small person who has been hurriedly brushed aside.
At the same time, Zu Zhao also gradually figured out that if He Jin really looked like a pig butcher, even if he had a sister who was the queen, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to the position of general, let alone be supported by Cao Cao, Huang Pusong and other capable ministers. At least before He Jin's death, whether it was Cao Cao, Huang Pusong and Zhu Jun and other old ministers in the court, or a group of rising stars such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they were all very supportive of He Jin, which shows that He Jin himself is not as useless as it is rumored in history.
After talking for more than half an hour, He Jin picked up the teacup on the table and took a shallow sip of tea, then his eyes turned and fell on Zu Zhao, who was sitting at the end of the table. Immediately, He Jin smiled faintly and said, "Mengde! Coming here today, do you want to introduce some talents? ”
Cao Cao heard He Jin take the initiative to ask, and he also knew that it was time, and even said with a smile: "The general is really powerful!" In a word! ”
As he spoke, Cao Cao pointed to Zu Zhao, who was sitting at the end of the seat, and said to He Jin: "This is the Liaodong Zu Zhao Zu Liechen mentioned to the general last time!" ”
Zu Zhao immediately got up, arched his hand towards He Jin, and shouted: "The last general Zu Zhao! Meet the General! ”
He Jin glanced at Zu Zhao, but he didn't show any expression, just nodded lightly and said, "Zu Zhao? Well, I remember that Master Lu once mentioned you to me! Say you're good at fighting! To be able to get the praise of Lord Lu and become a student of Lord Lu, I think you should have some ability! Well done! Don't let me down! ”
"Whoa!" Zu Zhao didn't care too much about these, for himself, in fact, He Jin was just a means he used to better grasp the current situation in Luoyang, and he didn't have to worry about the group of people who loved money.
He Jin was also very satisfied with Zu Zhao's attitude, and nodded again, but turned his head and chatted with Cao Cao again, obviously unwilling to say anything more to Zu Zhao.
However, this is the case, but it has already achieved the purpose of coming to see He Jin today, Zu Zhao also knew how to advance and retreat, when even he retreated to the last seat indifferently, and sat there and didn't talk more.
After chatting for more than an hour, Cao Cao got up to say goodbye to He Jin, and Zu Zhao also followed Cao Cao to salute He.
He Jin suddenly remembered something at this time and said to Cao Cao: "Mengde! In a few days it will be Shi Hou's birthday! Seeing that Shi Hou is no longer small, I think you will come to teach Shi Hou when you have time. ”
Shi Hou in He Import is He Jin's nephew, that is, Liu Hong, the son of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty and Empress He. After Liu Bian was born, because Liu Hong's previous sons died one after another, in order to save her son's life, Queen He fostered Liu Bian in the home of a Taoist priest surnamed Shi, wanting to rely on the Taoist priest's Taoism to protect her son.
It's also evil, but it turns out that Liu Bian really grew up healthy and healthy, and he didn't die like his elder brothers. After that, although Liu Ban was taken back to the palace, the palace also directly called him Shihou, which was also to commemorate Liu Fan's life back then.
A few years ago, Wang Meiren in the palace gave birth to Liu Hong's second son, Liu Xie, although Wang Meiren was poisoned by Queen He and Zhang Rang and others when she was born. But the prince association is under the protection of the Empress Dowager Dong, and he is living well, and because of the relationship between Wang Meiren, Liu Hong seems to love this young son very much, if it weren't for He Jin's heavy power, I am afraid that Liu Hong would have made the prince association the prince a long time ago!
In this regard, He Jin is naturally anxious in his heart, he knows very well that all his current power comes from his sister and nephew, if Liu Jin can't ascend the throne after the most deviant time, then all He Jin's current power will all disappear at that time! For this reason, He Jin has thought of many ways, and the first goal is to kill the Prince Association!
It's a pity that since Wang Meiren died, Liu Hong has been wary of Queen He, and Empress Dowager Dong has always looked at Queen He unpleasantly, and always protects the prince's association. In recent years, the relationship between He Jin and Zhang Rang and those eunuchs has also become worse and worse, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get rid of the Prince Association.
Since the road of getting rid of the prince association did not work, He Jin had another idea, that is, to try his best to increase the weight of his nephew Liu Bian. For this reason, He Jin simply broke with Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and in recent years, he has wantonly wooed those party members, just to add a shackle to Liu Hong that cannot be abolished through the mouths of these literati.
At the same time, it can also make those officials above the court have the impression that Liu Bian is the real heir to the throne, so that Liu Hong does not dare to easily leave Liu Bian and establish the prince as the crown prince.
Hearing He Jin's words, Cao Cao's heart was filled with a trace of bitterness, in fact, he had already thought that He Jin would use this to make demands on him. But in order to keep Zu Zhao, Cao Cao knew that it was a pit, so he had to jump down with his eyes closed. Immediately, Cao Cao bowed deeply to He Jin and said: "Since the general looks down on the subordinate officials so much, the subordinate dares to disobey his orders!" ”
Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, He Jin couldn't help but smile, and looked at Zu Zhao's gaze with a little more joy, thanks to this kid, otherwise Cao Cao, a stubborn donkey, wouldn't know when Lu Dao would bow his head! Based on this alone, I have to promote this kid well in the future, which can be regarded as a reward for him!
After the two retired from the study, they walked straight out of the General's Mansion and walked out of the gate, but the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This trip to the General's Mansion can be said to have benefited Zu Zhao a lot. First of all, I already have some understanding of He Jin, and I can grasp the wind and rain that Luoyang is about to come.
Secondly, Cao Cao was already tied to He Jin's boat because he brought himself, and he was bound to escape from the capital in the end, and he would meet Chen Gong if he didn't accidentally, which was a good opportunity for him. And for himself, a very important point of this trip is to recover the Chen Palace.
Cao Cao took a deep breath, turned his head to Zu Zhao and said, "Liechen! I didn't expect the general to pay some attention to you, maybe because of the teacher's relationship, I think the teacher was the prince's concubine, whether this result is good or bad, it's still uncertain, in short, you must be careful in the future! ”
Cao Cao can be regarded as having experienced a lot in Luoyang, and he has a relatively in-depth view of the problem, what he is worried about now is that He Jin will one day let Zu Zhao be cannon fodder because of the things in the court. Of course, Zu Zhao didn't care about these, as long as he witnessed the death of Emperor Han Ling, Luoyang was in chaos.
He can make his own plans in Liaodong, but if he can recover some people during this time, it will be an unexpected gain. Thinking of this, Zu Zhao was quite proud in his heart.
