Cao Cao's head hurt, and he felt a buzzing in his head, as if there were countless bees in his ears, chirping in his head. This really makes people have a strong urge to leave with their sleeves brushed away, but this impulse was forcibly suppressed by Cao Cao, if he really brushes his sleeves and leaves, what is he doing here?

Therefore, he just watched coldly, watching the speeches of the famous people in the hall, and bitterly expounded the harm of the ten permanent servants, and was impassioned. But when it comes to specific matters, they are all dumb again, and they will only come up with some general plans, but the details are not exhaustive.

Cao Cao sat at the bottom of the place, his official position was just a councillor above the court, and only the military captain in the military rank was the reason why he could be here. Even if it is more famous, sitting on top of him, including those celebrities opposite, which one is not more famous than him? So from beginning to end, Cao Cao was just listening, not arguing, he just wanted to see what these so-called celebrities could plan.

Looking at those ministers again, they are basically similar to those celebrities, who are under the high pressure of the ten permanent servants, and they have lost their courage, and most of them can only echo it.

The more he listened, the more disappointed he became, and he didn't have expectations. Of course, most of these emotions are also for General He.

As a general, how can you succeed if you are constantly planning and being careless? At least Cao Cao knew that even if the Ten Standing Servants were fools, they should have known the news that He Jin had summoned many advisers and the ministers of the court today, and as soon as this news spread, I was afraid that the Ten Standing Servants would understand something.

Besides, I don't know how many of the princes in this hall are the Ten Standing Servants? You must know that the Ten Standing Servants have been attached to the court for a long time, as long as they lean up, then the official position will be promoted, even if they are sitting here now, I am afraid that some people are thinking about the way back.

Betting on both sides is human nature, Cao Cao has often seen a lot of gamblers bet like this in the gambling house, and even he sometimes has the urge to bet like this. But after all, he still didn't choose to do so, because if he only gambled on one side, although there was half a chance of losing all his money, but in the same way, the benefits were huge.

That's just a bet on the size of the dice, and even if you lose the bet, it's just a small loss of money. Even if he saw someone betting on both sides of the big and small, it was just a little bit of caution and caution, but in the face of such a major event in the court, it was no less than a fatal blow.

Conspiracy, conspiracy, even if it has not yet begun, is just a plan in a premeditated plan. The most fearful thing is that when you are just ready to act, you will be known by the enemy, so that the other party will make a targeted layout.

The court is like a battlefield, whether it is the court, a place where people don't see blood, or the battlefield where there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, it is all about an opportunity to anticipate the enemy. The key lies in this machine word, whoever has mastered it, not to say that he will be able to win, at least he has mastered most of the victory.

Even if Cao Cao believed that the ministers of the court and the central government who had been suppressed by the eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants for a long time would not give up any opportunity to eliminate the Ten Standing Servants, he also believed that no one would be so short-sighted, but in everything, there was a contingency. Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, this is a sentence he learned from the mouth of the candle shadow, but it is extremely appropriate to use it here.

Sometimes 10,000 is nothing, but the most inconspicuous one of the 10,000 is very likely to destroy it all. Exactly, that's what is happening now. So Cao Cao really doesn't understand why things that can be solved by a few people and a military order have to involve so much. For every additional person, there will be more accidents and more risks.

Looking around the crowd quietly, Cao Cao didn't see any strange looks on the others, everyone only had two expressions, one was calm, and the other was indignant at what the Ten Standing Servants had done.

He didn't try to see through the real thoughts hidden under these faces, it was ridiculous. In the court, people who are easily seen through are usually not able to walk for too long or far.

Although Cao Cao is young, he has already won the blindness of officialdom, that is, calmness and calmness. Maintain emotional calm, joy and anger are invisible, so that you can not fall behind in the confrontation with others.

But now, he can't bear it! The palm of the hand on his lap had been clenched into a fist, and the joints had turned white. This is what Cao Cao himself saw, because he had to lower his head slightly, his eyebrows lowered, he knew that there must be a scorching flame in his eyes now, and he had to hide his inner emotions in this way.

However, there are some things that you can't ignore, so you can ignore them. It's not something you can control, you can control it, at least for Cao Cao, there are some things that he can't bear. is like the family and the country, the rise and fall of the Han family, and the things that are being talked about in the hall now.

The shoulders trembled faintly, extremely subtle, at least now when everyone's attention was on the person who got up to speak, no one noticed the abnormality on Cao Cao's body. At first glance, it looks like a little sobbing, but in fact, it is the anger in my heart that is burning, and it is constantly roaring.

He had to suppress that anger again and again, and the anger rose again and again, and as time passed, Cao Cao felt more and more unable to control his emotions. If they, they all knew what was going to happen in the future, would they still be talking about it here?

Cao Cao didn't know, he didn't want to know, he only knew that he had to do something, although he didn't want to believe it, but some things happened not based on his own will. He knew this as early as when he was the northern governor of Luoyang City, not to mention what was about to happen, he didn't know that it was okay, but he knew that even if it was false and someone deceived him, he would prevent it from happening, and he would prefer that someone else would deceive him.

But the saddest thing is that there is no one to deceive him, and Cao Cao also knows that there is no need for Candle Shadow to deceive him. So, it's true.

Another famous man who made an impassioned statement sat down, and this time, Cao Cao finally didn't sit anymore, he stood up, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes. He slowly bowed his hand to He Jin, who was sitting in the center of the council hall, and maintained this posture to signal to the people sitting around.

Only then did he speak: "General Rongyu." ”

He Jin nodded slightly, but he recognized Cao Cao, after all, the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden was set up by the emperor in order to restrain his military power, and he was also extremely jealous for a period of time. It's just that he is not afraid now, because now in this hall, the eighth captain of the West Garden is the fifth, which has already occupied more than half of the eight captains of the West Park Forbidden Army.

Although most of the military strength in the Xiyuan Forbidden Army was under Jian Shuo's control, he had already recruited the other five captains, and the military strength that could be mobilized in Luoyang City was enough to compete with him.

"Say." He Jin said lightly, this is already the greatest respect he gives Cao Cao. If he wasn't one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and he was quite talented, he wouldn't have been able to appear here at all, let alone let him speak.

"The momentum of eunuchs starts at the time of rushing and quality. The imperial court is very widespread, and there are many henchmen attached to it, although there is a thunderous momentum, but if you want to destroy them all, I am afraid that it is not so easy. If the matter is not secret, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of extermination, and I ask the general to take a closer look..."

"Shut up!" Before Cao Cao could finish his words, he was stopped by He Jin's voice.

Originally, He Jin listened to Cao Cao's words with a smile, but after hearing half of it, he figured out the taste. By the time he was halfway through, his face had become gloomy, and the green tendons on his forehead were beating, and even the sound of stopping just now was stopped with a roaring voice.

As for the others, after hearing Cao Cao's words, they also observed Cao Cao with a trace of strange eyes. Many of them shook their heads, and at the same time gave Cao Cao a comment in their hearts about the ambition of a young man, and stopped paying attention to him.

Isn't it stupid to say such things at this time? Although it is true that the ten permanent servants are powerful, the power of the general is not small, not to mention that saying such a thing with a bit of exhortation in front of everyone is undoubtedly a slap in the face, and it is General He in the face!

There was pity on the faces of a small number of people, but there was a look of pity, but there was a hint of understanding. I heard that when Cao Mengde was in charge of the Northern Governor's Office, he was known for his iron and hard methods, and his cold face and selflessness. Looking at it now, it's really true, it's completely a stunned young man who doesn't know how to be flexible.

"The general is good, Captain Cao is just too worried about the government, so his words are wrong, and I ask the general for forgiveness." At the lower place next to He Jin's left hand, Yuan Shao stood up and spoke for Cao Cao.

There is a kind of demeanor in his gestures, which makes the celebrities around him nod their heads, and even makes many ministers secretly admire that he is worthy of being a disciple of Yuanmen. not only spoke up for his colleagues, but also advanced and retreated with evidence, without being rude or losing his demeanor.

Hearing Yuan Shao's voice, He Jin's face calmed down slightly, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay." Captain Cao sit down. ”

"Yes." Cao Cao bowed his hand slightly, and then sat down again. This kind of style can't help but make many ministers and celebrities have more bad comments in their hearts.

This would be fine if there would be no comparison in normal times, but now there is a comparison. With Yuan Shao's style in front, there is no doubt that Yuan Shao has become a pearl and jade, and Cao Cao has undoubtedly become a brick and stone that people have to throw more than others.

See, see? The children of the Yuan family were so polite at this time, and they sat down slowly after bowing their hands, but they were not as rude as you Cao Mengde. They even helped you out of the siege, but you didn't even say anything!

Cao Cao didn't care about this, he just felt empty in his heart, or rather, there was a kind of anger that hated iron but not steel, filling his entire chest. He really couldn't control too much, even if he knew that his actions were a little rude, he didn't care.

Sitting straight, he was still in the general's mansion, and there were the princes by his side, but he felt that there was no one around him. He is the only one, and in this darkness, he is the only one, he exists alone.

The voices that appeared after he sat down also disappeared one by one, and became extremely indistinct.

He was listening, and he wasn't listening. Those people were still talking, but they were all nonsense, because there was not the slightest words that Cao Cao expected to appear. This kind of talk, no matter how much you say it, no matter how much you hear it, it's all nonsense. And it's nonsense, at least I've heard them talk about it for so long, and none of them get to the point.

Cao Cao looked up at He Jin again, who couldn't help frowning when he touched his gaze. So Cao Mengde lowered his head again and removed He Jin from his world.

Could it be that in He Jin's ears, his own words are so unpleasant? Could it be that in He Jin's eyes, he is such a courageless person?

No, it's not. Cao Cao knew that he was not, if he really had no guts, he would not sit here, let alone say that just now, even if he knew that he might anger Cao Cao, he still said it. It's not that he's stupid, it's just that there are some words, some things, and he has to do them.

Others don't say, he said. Others don't do it, he does. This is not for anyone, if you really want to say it, it is for the people of the world, and it is also for the country in his heart.

You have a clear conscience.

"Captain Cao, Captain Cao." A call came from next to Cao Cao's ears.

He suddenly woke up, looked around, and realized that the entire council hall was gone. Now it was a young man in a wide robe who appeared before him, awakening him from his contemplation.

"Thank you, Brother Gongda." Cao Cao thanked him.

What appeared in front of him was none other than Xun You, the squire of the Yellow Gate, and he was also one of the people who didn't say a word when he was discussing the matter just now. Precisely, he is one of the more than 20 domestic celebrities who were vaguely despised by Cao Cao.

It was only at this moment that Cao Cao suddenly remembered that in the discussion just now, it seemed that Yuan Benchu was also speechless? Except for the time when he broke the siege, he didn't say anything, which didn't seem to be Yuan Shao's style.

"What was Meng De thinking just now?" Xun You asked.

Cao Cao laughed softly, thinking back to what had just happened, he felt ridiculous at this moment.

He stood up and replied indifferently: "Without him, all the princes in the laughing hall are also." ”

"Oh?" Xun You raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was also one of the princes, but he was not angry.

He asked again, "Meng De laughs at me?" ”

"Nope."

"I'm just laughing at you, laughing at him, laughing at myself. It's all busy. ”

"You may not know, but I know it, but I can't change it, isn't it nothing?" Cao Cao smiled, but his smile gradually became bitter.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous."
