Chapter 122: Let's talk about the removal of the eunuch

Seeing He Bai shaking the paper fan and leaving without looking back, Shi Huan was furious and shouted, "The lord brought him to have fun, but he blamed the lord for insulting him. He has seen many such people who are noble and virtuous in public, dirty and shameless, and have seen many such people. It's better if the lord doesn't get along with him."

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "Tianming is not those noble and virtuous people who are different from each other, but are true moral and righteous people who are sad about heaven and sympathize with others. 'The rich people smell bad, and there are bones frozen on the road.' Isn't that what I mean? I heard that Tianming borrows money differently from others, and does not receive IOUs or high-interest money. At first, I thought that he was scattering money to seek fame. Now it seems that he is really doing benevolent and righteous acts."

Shi Huan shouted: "Will it be like giving away money without taking IOU or money? If someone cheats on fraud, wouldn't it be simple? I think there must be fraud in it."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Let's just do it today. I drive back to my house. Duke Liu Ru will investigate the clear feelings of borrowing money from people tomorrow, and I will report it to me tomorrow."

"Here, lord." Shi Huan transferred the whip to Cao Cao, jumped out of the carriage, and after Cao Cao left, he strided to the home of the gentleman who was familiar with Nanshi.

After Cao Cao returned to his house, his beloved concubine Bian led a child to worship him. The child called out in a tender voice: "Sir, you are back to his house."

Cao Cao picked up the child and kissed him happily. The beard on his cheeks made the child laugh happily. Bian smiled and used the dust to sweep away the possible dust on Cao Cao's body, and provided clean water and cleansing cloth.

Bian was a concubine who Cao Cao bought from a brothel, and he specialized in Luoyang to take care of Cao Cao's life. At this time, he had a son for Cao Cao, named Cao Pi, and is now nearly three years old. Because Cao Cao's wife Ding took care of Cao Ang, the eldest son born to Cao Cao by her personal maid, in her hometown of Qiao County because she had no strength to give birth to her.

The Bian family was extremely beautiful and virtuous, and Cao Cao was very satisfied. At first, Bian family was worth as high as 300 gold and was among the top famous prostitutes in the entire Luoyang city. Just relying on Cao Cao's daily salary, it was impossible to redeem Bian family. However, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was stingy by nature and would never spend this money for Cao Cao. Fortunately, Cao Cao had a close relationship with Zhang Miao, one of the eight chefs who were righteous and wealthy. After receiving his help, he returned with the beauty.

After Cao Cao thought about He Bai's words, he wiped away the defilement of drinking and sweating, he couldn't help but ask about Bian's previous life and the suffering in a brothel. When Bian was moved by Cao Cao's care and told the pain of the past, Cao Cao realized that the life of the poor and common people's family was far from what the children of such noble families could do.

Cao Cao found that he had a different family background and different ideas from He Bai, so he was difficult to get close to He Bai. However, it seemed a bit too late to understand the thoughts of poor people at this time. He could either talk about the great principles of the country and the people, or find some common topics in it.

When Cao Cao thought about this, he couldn't help but hugging Bian and kissing him, and handing Cao Pi away by his servants, and hugging Bian into the room for fun.

On the afternoon of the next day, Shi Huan, who returned to his residence, came to report He Bai's previous borrowing of money. It turned out that He Bai did not lend money at will. Instead, he would send someone to check it out and search for the official position of the neighbors. After asking about the authenticity of the matter, he would lend it out. Although there was no loan note written, most of the borrowers were honest and trustworthy people, while the rogues did not lend money.

Cao Cao nodded. It seemed that He Bai did not act blindly and did not act like kindness. He was really the same as Ba Chu, and they were all people who were righteous and generous. However, He Bai was mostly rich and ordinary people, while Ba Chu was mostly rich and generous to scholars from aristocratic families. It turns out that his family background was different, and his friends were also different.

However, He Bai also had many friends with aristocratic families, scholars and officials. He went to the palace to have banquets, and the host followed the guests. Although he did not do many righteous things, he would not think of them. Moreover, in order to ensure that he had great wealth and righteous things, the Eight Chefs took advantage of the common people. In this way, He Bai had the true righteous act of helping the poor and making money with righteousness.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I know that He Tianming is extraordinary, and he is one of the few true and righteous people in the world. Gong Liu, prepare the car quickly, and I want to go to He Mansion to visit Tianming again."

Through a day of personal understanding, Shi Huan was convinced by He Baixin. Although He Bai said that he was young Mengchang, in Shi Huan's opinion, He Bai was more admirable than Mengchangjun, so he stopped mocking him. He said, "Here, the villain is ready to prepare a car and go to He's mansion to visit the Marquis of Xixingting."

When he came to He's mansion again, Cao Cao bowed and bowed as soon as he saw He Bai, and said, "What happened yesterday was Cao Cao's fault. I hope that the great master of Tianming would be large and he would not care about Cao's fault."

He Bai waved his hand, a noble family like Cao Cao, how could he feel disgusted? Yesterday, he just put on a famous scholar who was worried about the country and the people in front of Cao Cao. But he didn't expect Cao Cao to be too shameless, and today he came to visit him again.

He Bai didn't know the truth, so he asked, "It's a bad thing. Being prostitutes has been a bad thing since ancient times. Guan Zhongshi turned it into the norm of the official family. No one can change it for thousands of years, and it's not about Meng De's affairs. But I made a big deal yesterday. Yes, why did Meng De happen yesterday and today? If I just drink and have fun, I can call several good friends to come and have a gathering together."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It was nothing yesterday, but now I am here to talk to Tianming about the world."

He Bai was stunned. Things in the world? Cao Cao wanted to cook wine and discuss heroes now. He Bai invited Cao Cao to a side hall and reached out to ask, "Oh? What's things in the world? Meng De please sit down, Bai was willing to listen to Meng De's high arguments."

After Cao Cao sat down, he raised his glass and drank, saying, "Since His Majesty Guangwu unified the Han Dynasty again, with the efforts of the two emperors Mingzhang, my great Han once again became famous and domineering all directions, not much worse than the previous Han Dynasty. However, since His Majesty Hedi, the power of the great Han Dynasty has been exchanged back and forth between relatives and eunuchs..."

He Bai suddenly realized that Cao Cao was a lobbyist in order to eliminate officials. Cao Cao said a lot of words, starting from Emperor He of Han and until the Second Party and Fines disaster, which gave He Bai a real history of political changes in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao said, "I heard Tianming say yesterday that 'The rich people smelled of wine and meat, and there were bones frozen to death on their roads.' Cao thought that the chaos in the world was all the harm of the ten regular servants. If you want the government to return to the Qingming path, the ten regular servants must be eliminated. Don't you know if Tianming agrees?"

He Bai looked at Cao Cao in surprise. Yesterday, Cao Cao wanted to borrow the joy of escorting prostitutes, but after getting drunk, he brought out his own truth. Today, he came straight into the righteousness of the people of the country and asked his own thoughts. It seems that Cao Cao must win the matter of eliminating officials.

He Bai asked: "The Ten Generals of the People's People are in trouble and it is not impossible to eliminate them. However, Dou Wu and Chen Fan wanted to kill all the officials in the previous period, but they suffered a tragic failure and even implicated the family. With such results in the forefront, you have to think twice."

Cao Cao said proudly: "The timing is different, and the difficulty and difficulty of doing things is different. Dou You usually took control of the imperial guards, but the emperor and Dou Youping had no relatives. The officials led the troops to attack first. Not only would they not be punished because of it, they could also borrow the power of the emperor, and ordered Zhang Ranming to lead the soldiers of the fifth camp to besiege Dou Youping, forcing Dou Youping to commit suicide. Today's general and the emperor are their uncles and nephews. Moreover, Jian Shuo is dead, and the officials have no military power. No matter how the ten regular attendants resist, they cannot fight with the general. They can only conquer the crime. Therefore, this time, it is easy to eliminate the officials. Just send a prisoner to capture the officials."

Cao Cao said that the Ten Generals were easy to kill, and He Bai agreed with this, but Yuan Shao wanted to kill more than 2,000 people in the entire eunuch class, so this matter would be difficult to deal with.

He Bai asked, "Yes, the general has a relative with the emperor and the empress dowager. The old saying goes that if you don't have any relatives, the ten regular attendants cannot deal with the general, but the general can deal with the ten regular attendants. But what does this matter have to do with me? What does Meng De and I do?"

Cao Cao bowed and said, "Since the sky darkness says that the ten regular attendants can be eliminated, I wonder if I can write a letter to the general and make suggestions to the general to eliminate officials?"

He Bai has always been very worried and alert to the legendary Emperor Wu of Wei Cao, but today it seems that Cao Cao is not much smarter than himself at this time. Later, Emperor Wu of Wei had those fearsome reputation and abilities after decades of fighting and political competition. At this time, although he was over 30 years old and ten years older than himself, he was just an angry young man with high IQ. He Bai was full of hope for his future career.

He Bai smiled and pointed at Cao Cao and said, "Did Meng De think that after eliminating the officialdom, the world will be truly peaceful, and the wars in the world will be truly calmed down?"

Cao Cao hesitated and said: "After the government is clear and the people are full of justice, how can there be a reason for the world to be incompetent?"

He Bai laughed and asked: "The water of the river can irrigate all things on both sides of the river, which is conducive to planting, so that people can live and work in peace and worry-free. However, Meng De could hear that the river is flooded with turbid water and the people are beneficial, or is flooded with clear water and the people are beneficial?"

Cao Cao was stunned and murmured: "Which is better, the turbid water or the clear water flooded by the river? Of course, it is not good!"

He Bai smiled and said, "This is exactly what it means. Turbid water is like a officials, and clear water is like a scholar. If turbid water is overflowing, it will harm the world like the ten eunuchs. However, if clear water is overflowing, it will be like a scholar in power. Can scholars and scholars be harmonious and not harm each other? Besides, I think I am afraid that the fight will be more powerful at that time."

Cao Cao asked in surprise: "Does Tianming think that the ten regular attendants cannot be removed?"

He Bai smiled and said, "The Ten Constant Attendant is a slave to the royal family, and all power comes from the royal family. Now that the late emperor has collapsed, the power is all in the hands of the general and the tutor. It is not urgent to me to abandon the ten constant. Because if the Ten Constant Attendant, who can guarantee the future power of the emperor? But if you want to eliminate the ten constant, I will not participate in it. Of course, I will not tell you, because if you report to you, the Ten Constant Attendant will have no power to fight back, but will offend you. I will still be fine. I will not be concerned about it, so I will look sideways."

Cao Cao hesitated for a long time before saying, "I know that Tianming has always respected Benchu, but this matter was initiated by Benchu. Doesn't Tianming want to advance and retreat with Benchu?"
