Chapter 310 Wang Situ (12)

Ten days later

General's Mansion

"General, eunuchs are the worms of the country. For the sake of the Han Dynasty and the common people of the world, I ask the general to kill the eunuchs!" Yuan Shao seriously persuaded the general He Jin.

Wang Yun, Wang Ding, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Bian Rang, Liu Biao, Hua Xin, Kong Rong, Pang Ji, Bao Xin, Zhang Yang, Chen Lin, Xun You, Xu You, Wang Kuang, Kuai Yue, Xun Shuang.

These people also expressed their agreement with Yuan Shao's views and followed Yuan Shao to persuade He Jin to kill the eunuchs.

In the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were the original sin. Anyone who opposed eunuchs would be supported by scholars, and anyone who appreciated eunuchs would be spurned by scholars. In other words, the emperor would reuse eunuchs for the purpose of maintaining imperial power.

Some of these people wanted to kill the eunuch because their family members had been killed by the eunuch, so they wanted to kill the eunuch to take revenge.

Some people are simply unhappy because the eunuchs are making money, so they want to kill the eunuchs.

Some people want to kill eunuchs because they harm their interests.

Some people simply want to gain a good reputation by killing eunuchs.

Others just watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously, hoping to muddy the waters and take advantage of them to fish in troubled waters.

Among them, Yuan Shao and his uncle Yuan Wei also had some slight differences in their ideas.

Yuan Wei, an official tumbler, doesn't like to take risks no matter what he does, so his idea is to support his relatives on the surface, but actually wait and see what happens, help whoever wins, and always stand on the side of the winner, just like before.

For more than a hundred years, the Yuan family has been doing this. His approach is no different from that of Wang Guang of the Wang family in Liaodong, but he just adjusts to the wind and adapts to the current situation.

Yuan Ji had the same idea, so he did not come to the General's Mansion.

But his nephew Yuan Shao didn't think so. As a concubine, he desperately needed fame. In order to increase his fame, Yuan Shao could spend his youth and observe filial piety for six years. This is his persistence in fame. Now

As long as he kills the eunuchs, he can become famous all over the world, and the person who actually did it was his relative, General He Jin, not Yuan Shao, let alone the Yuan family. Even if he failed accidentally, it had nothing to do with Yuan Shao and the Yuan family.

For this reason, the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei, acquiesced in Yuan Shao's approach to He Jin.

Just like when Yuan Tang asked his son Yuan Cheng to seek refuge with his foreign relative Liang Ji, and at the same time asked his other son to oppose his foreign relative Liang Ji.

It's just like how the royal family of Liaodong secretly gave gifts to Liang Ji while secretly cursing Liang Ji with other scholars for being a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Opposition or approval, which one to choose?

No, no, no, we nobles all want it!

Not only should I be against you, but I should also be for you!

If there are benefits, everyone should share them. If there are risks, why should you bear them alone?

While Yuan Wei gave gifts to the eunuchs, he also allowed his nephew Yuan Shao to persuade He Jin to kill the eunuchs. He was worthy of being a roly-poly in officialdom.

If He Jin kills the eunuch, then our Yuan family has merit in persuading us, but we also want to get a share of the center of power. If He Jin is killed by the counterattack, it is He Jin's business alone and has nothing to do with our Yuan family. The emperor cannot blame him.

Come to our Yuan family.

Just as the gentry used Dou's relatives to kill eunuchs, today they use He's relatives to continue killing eunuchs.

There was no sudden whim, it was just the same old thing happening again.

Also doing the same thing was Wang Yun of the Wang family in Liaodong.

The Wang family was still secretly sending money to the eunuchs, and at the same time, they followed Yuan Shao to persuade his relative, General He, to go in and kill the eunuchs.

He Jin, hurry up and kill. After you win, my Wang family will share the credit. If you accidentally lose like Dou Wu did last time, then we will pretend not to know. This matter has nothing to do with my Wang family. My Wang family has no involvement.

Wait until the next opportunity, and then instigate the next relative to kill the eunuch.

Looking at the scholars who had been persuading him to kill the eunuchs, He Jin was not excited, but very calm.

"Haha, more than twenty years ago, you must have persuaded General Dou Wu, your relative, to kill the eunuchs. But at the most critical moment, you all swept away the snow and sold Dou Wu away. I, He Jin, will not do it.

Be like Dou Wu and be the tool of your noble clan."

He Jin sneered in his heart, then pretended to be helpless and sighed: "The Queen Mother (the Queen Mother He) doesn't allow it, so what can I do!"

He didn't want to kill the eunuch at all, or didn't want to kill the eunuch now, but was bargaining with the nobles.

If you want me, He Jin, to take the lead and kill the eunuchs, that's fine, but you nobles must also come up with benefits that can impress me, instead of just talking endlessly.

Of course eunuchs can kill, but they cannot kill like this. At least they must first obtain enough benefits from the nobles and obtain their commitment.

Use the eunuchs' heads to exchange for what they need from the nobles.

"General, if you don't kill the eunuch, there will be endless troubles!"

"The Deng family's relatives, the Yan family's relatives, the Liang family's relatives, the Dou family's relatives, these families were all purged by the eunuchs. Even if the relatives did not kill the eunuchs, the eunuchs would kill the relatives, so even if they are not thinking about the world, they are just for the sake of the world.

For your own sake, you should also kill the eunuchs. Does the general want to follow in the footsteps of these families?" Yuan Shao continued to persuade, citing the precedent of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, stop talking. How do you, juniors, know about the important affairs of the imperial court?" He Jin was also a little angry.

If you try to persuade me, you will persuade me, but you are reluctant to give me any benefits. You want me to be the leader, but you are not willing to give me any real benefits. These aristocratic families think about nothing every day. What a waste.

Am I being taken advantage of?

He Jin wants many things.

Such as acres, population, wealth, fame, marriage, commitment.

But ultimately, he wants to be a member of a wealthy family. He doesn't want to be a relative who can only be famous for more than ten years, but wants to be a member of a family that has been famous for hundreds of years.

Most of these things are in the hands of wealthy families.

"General, the lessons learned from the Dou family's relatives are right in front of you. Don't you know that the last general Dou Wu was killed by eunuchs?" Wang Yun was also persuading. Last night, he also asked his subordinates to secretly

Di gave Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo and others a lot of money and beautiful maidservants to their godsons in Luoyang.

"Of course I know, but eunuchs are not all bad people, and I believe Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Gui and others would not have the courage to do what Cao Jie did." General He Jin said very confidently.

He believed that he had the ability to control the eunuchs, and used their heads to exchange for the recognition and benefits of the nobles.

"If you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos. If the general does not kill the eunuchs today, he will regret it in the future." Yuan Shao still persisted in persuading He to go in and be taken advantage of. He was very perseverant.

"Please also ask the general to kill the eunuchs, purge the court, and bring peace to the people of the world!" Wang Yun also supported him.

"I beg the general to kill the eunuchs, purge the court, and bring peace to the world!" The rest of the scholars in the palace also tried to persuade them. Their eyes were very sincere, but I didn't know how many of them were genuine and how many were just pretending.

"I have my own way of handling important matters in the imperial court, so you don't need to persuade me any further!" He Jin made it clear that he could not benefit from the nobles without seeing the rabbits and letting the hawks fly, so he resolutely refused to help the nobles get rid of the eunuchs.

It is a beautiful idea to want the horse to run but also not to eat grass!
