looked at He Bai shaking the paper fan and walked away without looking back. Shi Jian was furious and shouted: "The lord brought him to have fun, but he blamed the lord for insulting him. This kind of noble and noble people on the surface, but dirty and shameless people in secret, have seen a lot of them. It doesn't matter if such people don't pay it. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "Tianming is not those noble and virtuous people who are inconsistent in appearance, but a true moral righteous person who is compassionate and compassionate. 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Isn't that exactly what I'm waiting for? Before, I heard that Tianming borrowed money differently from others, and did not take IOUs and usury. At first, I thought it was a fortune sale. Now it seems that he is really doing something benevolent. ”

Shi Jian shouted: "If you don't take the IOU and the profit, isn't it the same as giving away." If someone deceives him, wouldn't it be simple? Some think that there must be fraud in it. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "That's it today, I will drive back to my house, and Gong Liu Ru will go to investigate the truth of Tianming's loan to others, and report it to me tomorrow." ”

"Oh, my lord." Shi Jian handed over the horsewhip to Cao Cao, jumped out of the carriage, and after Cao Cao drove away, he strode towards the home of a light prodigal son who was familiar with Nanshi.

After Cao Cao returned home, his concubine Bian led a child to worship Yingying, and the child called in a childish voice: "Father, you are back home." ”

Cao Cao picked up the child and kissed it happily, and the full beard made the child laugh happily. Bian smiled and swept away the possible dust on Cao Cao's body with floating dust, and offered clean water and a clean cloth to clean his face.

Bian was Cao Cao's concubine who was redeemed in a brothel, and took care of Cao Cao's life in Luoyang. At this time, he had given birth to a son for Cao Cao, named Cao Pi, and now he is nearly three years old. Cao Cao's wife, Ding, because she had no power to give birth, raised her eldest son Cao Ang, who was born to Cao Cao by her personal maid, in her hometown of Qian County.

Bian's appearance is peerless, and his character is virtuous, and Cao Cao is very satisfied. At the beginning, the Bian family's worth was as high as 300 gold, and he was among the top famous prostitutes in the entire Luoyang City. However, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is stingy by nature and will never spend this money for Cao Cao. Fortunately, Cao Cao had a very close relationship with Zhang Miao, one of the eight chefs who fought for righteousness and squandered money, and with his help, he was able to return with a beauty.

Cao Cao thought about He Bai's words, and after wiping off the stains of wine and sweat, he couldn't help but ask about Bian's former home life and the suffering in the brothel. When Bian was moved by Cao Cao's care and cried and recounted the sufferings of the past, Cao Cao realized that the life of the poor people's homes was far from being something that he could guess for the children of such noble families.

Cao Cao found that he and He Bai had different family backgrounds and different concepts, so it was difficult to get close to He Bai. However, at this time, it seems a little late to understand the thoughts of the poor people. Either you can talk about it with the general principles of the people of the country, or you can find some common topics in it.

When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but proudly hug Bian's and kiss him, and handed Cao Pi over to the slave to take away, and hugged Bian's into the room for fun.

On the afternoon of the second day, Shi Lian, who returned home, came to tell He Bai about his previous borrowing deeds, and it turned out that He Bai did not borrow money at will. Instead, they will send someone to check it out, and ask the neighbors and neighbors about the authenticity of the matter, and then lend it. Although no IOUs were written, most of the people who borrowed were honest and trustworthy people, while the prodigal scoundrels borrowed money but did not borrow.

Cao Cao nodded, it seems that He Bai's actions are not blindly indiscriminate, they are really similar to the eight kitchens, they are all righteous and squandering money. However, He Bai is more sparse with the common people, and the eight kitchens are more sparse with the family. Sure enough, the family background is different, and the friends are not the same.

However, He Bai also had many intersections with families, scholars, and officials. Drinking and feasting at the house, the host is at will. Although he didn't do much righteous things, he wouldn't look at it differently if he thought about it. Moreover, in order to ensure that he has a huge amount of money and does righteous things, the eight chefs collect heavy profits from the common people. In this way, He Bai is more likely to help the weak and help the weak, and the true righteousness of righteousness and wealth squandering.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "I know that He Tianming is extraordinary, and he is a rare person of true benevolence and righteousness in the world. Gong Liu, prepare the car quickly, I want to go to Hefu to visit Tianming again. ”

Through a day's personal understanding, Shi Lian was also convinced by He Baixin. Although He Bai said that he was a little Meng Wei, in Shi Lian's opinion, He Bai was more admirable than Meng Weijun, so he stopped making mockery. said: "Well, the villain will prepare the car and go to He Mansion to visit the Sunset Pavilion." ”

When he came to He Mansion again, Cao Cao bowed down when he saw He Bai, and said: "Yesterday's incident was Cao Cao's fault, and I hope that Lord Tianming has a lot of them, regardless of his fault." ”

He Bai waved his hand, like a noble man like Cao Cao, how could he be disgusted by this, yesterday was just a celebrity who was worried about the country and the people in front of Cao Cao. It's just that I don't want Cao Cao to be thick-faced, so I actually came to visit again today.

He Bai didn't know what to do, so he asked: "It's okay, prostitution is a bad thing since ancient times, and Guan Zhong has turned it into the normal state of the official family, no one can change it for thousands of years, but it is not about Mengde's business, but I made a big fuss yesterday." Yes, what is the matter of Meng De's coming yesterday and today, if it is a simple drink, I can call a few good-natured people to come and get together. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Yesterday was fine, but today I came here to talk to Tianming about the affairs of the world." ”

He Bai was stunned, what is the world doing? Cao Cao wants to cook wine and talk about heroes now? He Bai then invited Cao Cao to a side hall, stretched out his hand and asked, "Oh? What is the matter of the world? Meng De, please sit down, Bai is willing to listen to Meng De's high arguments. ”

After Cao Cao sat down, he raised his glass and drank, and said: "Since His Majesty Guangwu once again unified the Han Dynasty, with the hard work of the Second Emperor of Ming Zhang, my Han Dynasty is once again famous and dominant, which is not much worse than the previous Han Dynasty. However, since His Majesty the Emperor He, the authority of the Han Dynasty has been exchanged back and forth between relatives and eunuchs......"

He Bai suddenly heard the words, it turned out that Cao Cao was for the removal of eunuchs, and he had been a lobbyist before. Cao Cao said a lot of words, starting from Emperor Han and Emperor He, and talking about the second disaster of the party, which can be regarded as a real history of political changes in the Eastern Han Dynasty for He Bai.

Cao Cao said: "Yesterday, I heard that Tianming said, 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. 'I think that the chaos in the world is also the harm of the ten permanent servants. If you want to return to the way of clarity, the ten permanent servants must be eliminated, I don't know if Tianming thinks so? ”

He Bai looked at Cao Cao in astonishment, yesterday's Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of the pleasure of prostitution, and set out his own truth after being drunk. When I came today, I went straight to the point, thinking about the righteousness of the people of the country, and asking my own thoughts. It seems that Cao Cao is sure to get rid of the eunuchs.

He Bai asked: "The Ten Constants are in trouble in the world, and it is not impossible to get rid of them." However, the previous Dou Wu and Chen Fan wanted to get rid of the eunuchs, but they failed miserably, and even implicated the family. With such a result in the past, you have to think twice. ”

Cao Cao said proudly: "The timing is different, and the difficulty of doing it is different. In Dou Youping, the eunuchs controlled the forbidden army, and the emperor had no relatives with Dou Youping. The eunuchs led the troops to take the lead in attacking, not only would they not be punished for it, but they could also borrow the power of the emperor to order Zhang Ranming to lead the five battalions to besiege Dou Youping and force Dou Youping to commit suicide. And today's general and the emperor are uncles and nephews, and the eunuchs have no military power, no matter how the ten permanent servants resist, they can't compete with the generals, only one way. Therefore, it can be said that it is easy to get rid of the eunuchs this time, and only one jailer needs to be sent to arrest the eunuchs. ”

Cao Cao said that the ten permanent servants are easy to execute, and He Bai agrees with this, but Yuan Shao wants to kill more than 2,000 people in the entire eunuch class, and this matter is not easy to do.

He Bai asked: "Yes, the general is related to the emperor and the queen mother, as the old saying goes, there is no intimacy between them, the ten permanent servants can't deal with the general, but the general can deal with the ten permanent servants." It's just that what does this matter have to do with me, what does Meng De say to me about this? ”

Cao Cao bowed his hand and said: "Tianming has said that the ten permanent servants can be removed, I don't know if I can work with us to write to the general to suggest the removal of the eunuchs?" ”

He Bai has always been very worried and wary of the legendary Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, but it seems that Cao Cao at this time is not much better than himself. Later, Emperor Wu of Wei, it was after decades of southern conquest and political competition that he had those formidable prestige and abilities. At this time, although he is over thirty years old and five years old, ten years older than himself, he is just an angry young man with a high IQ. He Baisui is full of hope for his future career.

He Bai smiled at Cao Cao and said: "Doesn't Meng De think that after the eunuchs, the world will be truly peaceful, and the wars in the world will be truly quelled?" ”

Cao Cao said hesitantly: "As soon as the government is clear, everyone is in the right dynasty, how can there be no reason not to rule the world?" ”

He Bai laughed and asked: "The water of the great river can irrigate everything on both sides of the river, which is conducive to planting, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and live without worry." However, is the flooded muddy water beneficial to the people, or the flooded clear water beneficial to the people? ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Which is better, the turbid water or the clear water flooded by the big river?" Naturally, it is not good for the ear! ”

He Bai smiled: "This is exactly what I said. Turbid water is like eunuchs, and clear water is like scholars. If the turbid water is wide, it will plague the world like the ten permanent servants, but if the clear water is wide, just like the scholars are in power, can the scholars and scholars be able to live in harmony and not harm each other? In my opinion, I am only afraid that the fight will be more fierce at that time. ”

Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Could it be that Tianming thinks that the ten permanent servants cannot be removed?" ”

He Bai said with a smile: "The ten permanent servants are the slaves of the royal family, and all power comes from the royal family. Now that the first emperor has collapsed, the power is in the hands of the general and the prince, and the removal of eunuchs is not urgent in my opinion. Because if you remove the ten permanent servants, who can guarantee the emperor's future power? However, if you want to get rid of the eunuchs, it is inconvenient for me to participate in it. Of course, I will not denounce you, because if I denounce you, the Ten Standing Servants will not have the power to fight back, but will offend you. I'm still out of business, just watch from the sidelines. ”

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time before he said: "I know that Tianming has always respected Ben Yuan, but this matter was initiated by Ben Chu, doesn't Tianming want to advance and retreat with Ben Chu?" ”

He Bai hesitated, and after a long time, he said: "It turned out to be the intention of the original public...... Not...... Meng De can tell Ben Chu Gong with me: He Baicai is shallow in learning, he doesn't know the major affairs of the court, and he is good at only military affairs. However, the original public wanted to do great things, and He Bai raised his hands in agreement. It's just that He Bai heard that the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, and he has the heart to go to Qingzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban. ”
