Chapter 227: First Sight of Cao Mengde
In the Thousand Worlds, in Luoyang City.
After He Jin poisoned and killed the Empress Dowager Dong, he was uneasy in his heart, always worried that someone in Luoyang City would be unfavorable to him and kill him as a national thief.
Because of this uneasiness, He Jin gradually felt that he couldn't trust Luoyang's army.
To do great things, you need to rely on foreign troops.
And at this time, Yuan Shao said to him: "Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are rumored that the general killed the Empress Dowager Dong and wanted to be unfavorable to the general!" ”
"If the root cause of today's troubles is all in the ten permanent servants, why don't the generals kill the ten permanent servants to correct the root of the world?"
When He Jin heard this, he thought so.
Entered the palace to find the Empress Dowager He and discussed the killing of the ten permanent servants.
After a while, He Jin returned with a depressed face.
Yuan Shao asked, "General, what does the Queen Mother say?" ”
He Jin sighed and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't allow this, so what's the matter?" ”
Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said: "The Queen Mother does not allow this, why don't the generals gather the heroes of the Quartet, come to Beijing with troops, and punish them all." ”
"When the time comes, the general trend has been achieved, and the Queen Mother cannot be disobeyed."
He Jinxi said: "That's the truth, do it immediately!" ”
The lord Bo Chen Lin and Cao Cao, the commander of the army, hurriedly opened their mouths to persuade that killing a few eunuchs was just something that a team of soldiers could do, so why was there such a big fanfare?
He Jin disagreed: "You don't know military affairs, coward's opinion!" ”
"I've made up my mind, retreat quickly, otherwise Hugh will blame me for not being merciful!"
He Jin wrote a secret edict and summoned soldiers and horses from all over the world to gather in Luoyang in the name of the imperial court and kill the eunuchs and ten permanent servants.
Cao Cao walked out of the General's Mansion, his stubby and short body looking up at the sky: "Those who mess with the world must be He Jinye!" ”
"Haha!"
A burst of laughter came from his side, and Cao Cao turned his head to look, it turned out to be his friend Yuan Shao.
The two used to temper their bodies and martial arts together, and they also used to steal chickens and dogs together, and play hooligans to steal the bride on other people's wedding days, which was very happy.
Now with the gradual maturity, there is some life - Cao Cao's family surname is Xiahou, and his father passed on to the eunuchs, so he became a famous family.
But this "famous family" is far worse than the Yuan family, the real fourth world and three princes, the first family in the world.
The two of them can be regarded as having their own positions, and it is impossible to be the same as before.
"Primordial!" Cao Cao tried to stop Yuan Shao, he really wondered why Yuan Shao would summon the princes of the Quartet to Luoyang just now.
It's just a matter of killing a few eunuchs, do you really need such a big formation?
But Yuan Shao did not stop, but left in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
Cao Cao shook his head and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone sighing: "Hiding your eyes and catching birds, is self-deception, small things can't be deceived to achieve ambition, what's the country's major affairs?" ”
Cao Cao looked back, and it turned out to be Bo Chenlin, the lord of the Great General's Mansion who had just spoken together, who was handsome, delicate and elegant.
Although Cao Cao is not good-looking, he has always liked to see mighty generals and handsome literati, in his heart, generals should be like this, and Wenchen should be like this.
"What is the opinion of the Lord?"
"If you want to punish the eunuchs, you should be angry and exercise your power immediately, and heaven and man will obey it. However, they oppose the foreign ministers, and when they are about to invade the capital, the heroes gather, each with one heart: the so-called rebellion, giving people a handle, the merit will not be achieved, and the chaos will be caused. Lord Bo Chen Lin responded.
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I have the same idea as the foot, but it's a pity that the general doesn't have to wait for me." ”
Chen Lin smiled slightly, and suddenly spoke: "There is a strange person in my house who has many amazing words about the overall situation of the DPRK and China. General Cao would like to go to my house to drink together and meet this strange man? ”
"Huh?"
Cao Cao was surprised: "Could it be Mr. Lin Nan, who claims to be a cultivator?" ”
"Yes!" Chen Lin replied.
Cao Cao chuckled: "Lord Bo doesn't know, I've noticed this person in the past month. ”
"It is true that this person has practice, but recently he has deliberately contacted officials, and it seems that he is not really cultivating, but has a heart for fame and fortune."
"I thought that if this man was really capable, I would see him sooner or later; If this person wants to climb up, he will be an official in the same hall sooner or later, and he will also be able to meet sooner or later. ”
"In that case, don't rush to see him."
"I see, then I don't force it, and I will leave." Chen Lin's face turned cold.
Cao Cao laughed: "The lord is thin and slow, I haven't finished talking yet, why be anxious?" ”
"Originally, I thought so, but when I see the wisdom and wisdom of the Lord Bo today, I can know that this person is unusual, and I underestimate the strange person."
"The Lord is invited, and my heart yearns for it, and I am glad to be with strange people."
"Please also ask the Lord Bo to lead the way, you won't get drunk today!"
Chen Lin first felt despised at first, and then saw Cao Cao complimenting himself like this, and was immediately overjoyed: "General, please!" ”
Cao Cao rode a horse, Chen Lin took a car, and the two walked slowly and came to Chen Lin's house.
The servants and maids greeted him, and Chen Lin ordered to prepare a banquet and invite Mr. Lin Nan to come to the banquet.
Chen Lin and Cao Cao sat down separately, and after a while, Cao Cao saw a young man in blue clothes coming slowly, followed by the two of them.
The little one was a boy with an indifferent face, and Cao Cao didn't care much at first glance.
The big one was a strong man with a height of nine feet, his face was grim, and there was nothing left, only the young man.
Obviously, this big and small are all Mr. Feng Linnan's masters, loyal people.
Chen Lin got up and saluted: "Disturb Mr. Practice, please forgive me!" ”
"Today, I got acquainted with the heroes of the DPRK and China, and something big is about to happen, so I specially invited Mr. to discuss with him."
"I just happened to ask Mr., what kind of chaos is the affairs of the court now? Where do we go from here? ”
"It's okay, sit down and talk." Lin Nan spoke, looking at the stout and short person in front of him, "Who is this?" ”
"Cao Cao, the captain of the army, the word Mengde, has seen Mr." Cao Cao arched his hand and said.
Lin Nan smiled: "People who practice outside the world, Lin Nan, are polite." ”
"I originally thought that maybe in a few years, I would be able to see Cao Mengde; If you don't think about it, you can see it today, which shows that there are also days of providence in the dark. ”
If Cao Mengde had heard someone say this in front of him earlier, he would have thought that he was pretending to be a ghost and disdained it.
However, Lin Nan was in front of him, and Chen Lin respected him, so he inevitably had to think more.
"Sir, you seem to know a lot about this?"
"There's some understanding, but not much." Lin Nan said, "I heard that your nickname is Ah Pu, and you once deliberately deceived the adults in your family and messed with Yuan Shao. There are also people who give you comments, saying that you are a capable minister in the world and a traitor in troubled times. ”
This is rude, how can there be a first time to say that when you were a child, you have a nickname, ugly things and the like?
Cao Cao's face flashed with anger, and he smiled on his face: "Mr. is really powerful, and he knows everything in his life." ”
"Could it be that the gentleman can know the past and the future, know everything, know everything?"
Lin Nan waved his hand: "I know you are domineering, but at this time, I guess I am disgusted and forced to smile." Actually, it's not necessary, I'm just casually talking, and then I really want to talk to you about big things. ”
Chen Lin invited Cao Cao and Lin Nan to sit down.
Cao Cao no longer concealed his displeasure, especially after being told by Lin Nan, he was even more annoyed and angry: "What's the big deal, you might as well talk about it!" ”
Lin Nan smiled: "Big deal, didn't you come back to tell me?" Why let me say it? ”
Cao Cao was surprised, and said in his heart: This person is indeed different from ordinary people - disgusting from ordinary people.
Chen Lin didn't think much about it, even if he saw that Lin Nan and Cao Cao didn't get along well, he didn't care.
As guests, it is common for both parties to look at each other, and there is no need to make a fuss.
Telling Lin Nan that He Jin was going to summon all the princes of the world to Luoyang and kill the ten permanent servants, Chen Lin sighed, and by the way, he also told Lin Nan his and Cao Cao's opinions.
When Lin Nan heard this, his expression was cold: "This matter is really a demon in the hearts of the people. ”
"The external cause is not heavy, but the internal cause is important."
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Lin asked.
Lin Nan said: "Why did He Jin invite the princes of the world to come to Luoyang, have you thought about it?" Just because he's stupid enough? ”
Chen Lin and Cao Cao said in their hearts: Otherwise, isn't He Jin stupid enough?
"Not only that, but some people have given He Jin enough sense of crisis." Lin Nan said, "In the past two months, who has advanced and retreated with He Jin the most, and won He Jin's trust? ”
"Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu." Chen Lin said.
Cao Cao also said: "It is indeed Yuan Benchu. ”
"The three princes of the imperial court also advance and retreat with the general, right?"
"In fact, who controls the Three Princes and the court?"
After Lin Nan asked this question, Chen Lin didn't think about it, and replied: "Of course he is a general, he holds military power, participates in Shangshu affairs, and the court listens to his orders. ”
Lin Nan shook his head slightly and looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao didn't expect that - now he is still a loyal minister of the Han family, and he is still on the same position as the famous families and ministers of the Han Dynasty.
I really didn't think that among the famous families, there were people who were disloyal to the Han Dynasty and harbored evil intentions!
After all, after the second emperor Huan Ling, the famous family has been full of the cognition of the people in the world, and when they say that they are loyal, they do not hesitate to live and die for the country, and when they say the emperor, they are faint monarchs.
Now Cao Cao thought about Lin Nan's first question, and then looked at the second question, and his heart was already terrified.
The answer to the first question is, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu.
The answer to the second question is, the Yuan family.
Yuan Feng is Sikong, Yuan Kui is the Taifu, the three dukes occupy two, plus the influence of the fourth and third dukes, in fact, the three dukes and the court are all controlled by them.
Yuan Benchu and the Yuan family are one with He Jin on the surface, and He Jin obeys whatever orders He Jin has.
"Who told He Jin that the Ten Standing Servants wanted to harm him? Who said that He Jin's poisoning of Empress Dowager Dong has been leaked? ”
Lin Nan continued to ask.
At this moment, Cao Cao already admired this person in his heart and understood why Chen Lin admired him so much.
"It's Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu."
"He told the general that the Ten Standing Servants wanted to harm him, and also said that the matter of the General poisoning the Empress Dowager Dong had been leaked by the Ten Standing Attendants!" Chen Lin had also understood at this time, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Then who is it that suggests He Jin to summon the princes of the world to Luoyang to make trouble?"
Cao Cao had already pressed his sword and stood up, and said sharply: "It's still Yuan Shao's husband!" ”
"I will lead troops to kill Yuan Shao and the Yuan family today, and remove the disaster for the Han Dynasty!"
"Mengde, you're in a hurry." Lin Nan said, "I'm not done yet. ”
"Do you know what is wrong with the arrangement of the Yuan family? That is how to ensure that He Jin will believe that the princes outside are reliable, not that the soldiers under him are reliable? ”
Chen Lin and Cao Cao were both surprised: "Why is this?" ”
"It's still the Yuan family's control over Luoyang." Lin Nan said, "Because the prestige and reputation of you and He Jin and others are all under the control of the Yuan family, in a single thought, they can calmly act on this conspiracy and adapt to it." ”
"After He Jin killed the Empress Dowager Dong, he felt guilty in his heart, knowing that he was acting like this, like a bird with a frightened bow, at this time Yuan Shao only needed to let him see that some soldiers did not seem to be loyal and reliable, He Jin would wonder when he would become the fate of a certain general in the history of the Han Dynasty, and even mutiny and be killed."
"This is control, He Jin doesn't know that he didn't make a good choice, but for the sake of his own life, he didn't dare to bet on how loyal his subordinates were to him, and whether they would kill him."
"So, he chose the stupidest way to look, and the most selfish and unscrupulous way."
Cao Cao frowned: "Sir's words shocked me; What if the general didn't agree to Yuan Shao's proposal and didn't choose this method? ”
"Things are actually simpler-" Lin Nan said, "Didn't Yuan Shao say a long time ago that the Ten Standing Attendants would leak the matter of He Jin's killing of Empress Dowager Dong?" As long as He Jin doesn't follow their arrangement, the Yuan family will really leak the news. ”
"When the time comes, the world will jointly crusade against the traitor He Jin, and the same will be the Quartet and the country will fall."
"Do you understand?"
I see...... And I was shocked.
Chen Lin and Cao Cao were silent.
Just half an hour ago, they really thought that Yuan Shao had a bad idea, and He Jin was really stupid.
It turned out that Yuan Shao knew what the result would be, and he did it on purpose.
It turned out that He Jin didn't know that the princes would cause chaos when they came to Luoyang, but he was in danger and had to do so!
Compared with them, the two of them are confused, but they are actually really "stupid", and they still want to really remove the eunuchs and ten permanent servants for the Han Dynasty and prosper the court.
"What should happen now?"
Cao Cao looked at Lin Nan blankly, bowed his head, and bowed: "Mr. Wang's teachings me." ”
Lin Nan asked lightly: "There are moths in the Han Dynasty, the state pastor controls the territory, the famous family controls the power and fame, and the wealthy businessmen and landlords in various places control the wealth of the people's livelihood. ”
"Is there any salvation?"
"I have helped you now and saved the Han Dynasty for a while, can I save a lifetime? How many more years can the Han Dynasty be passed on? ”
Chen Lin and Cao Cao looked at him dumbfounded, but they didn't expect this Mr. Lin Nan to say such "rebellious" words.
They are also famous families, and they are also the ruling order in the Han Dynasty, could it be that they are also moths in Mr. Lin Nan's mouth?
"What is the agreement of this gentleman?" Cao Cao asked cautiously.
"Could it be that Mr. thinks that the people of Qianshou should work hard and master the imperial court?"
Lin Nan laughed: "You want to ask me, is it the rebellious Yellow Turban Army, Taiping Dao?" Right? ”
