Chapter 245 You Heng's rebellion against Cao Mengde

Cao Cao and Kong Rong are talking about the inside story about the recruitment of talents. Since then, Chen Qun, who is responsible for recruiting talents, can't calm down, because the shady and unspoken rules they refer to are the mistakes of his jurisdiction: Why didn't such a talent pass the official assessment? Why is it not known by Cao Cao? He stared at the fragrant tea on the table with a cold face... Unexpectedly, behind Chen Qun's serious expression showed how angry he was. In Chen Qun's anger, a few days later, more than a dozen officials landed!

Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun, who was covered with frost, and then said to Kong Rong, "Lord Kong, the list of envoys cannot be changed, but before you go to Jingzhou, you would have been willing to see You Heng!" ...Lord Kong, can you introduce you to Ben?

Kong Rong was happy to see Chen Qun, who had always been fair and selfless, and felt happy for no reason. At the same time, he thought that his purpose of introducing you Heng had been achieved, so he smiled and said, "General Cao, the Japanese official will bring you Heng to the general!"

"Oh, Meng De is looking forward to meeting you! Ladies and gentlemen, that's all for today!" Cao Cao said, looking into the distance, because according to the report, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao will rush from Xuzhou to Xuchang tonight. At this time, he was in the public court, and his heart had gone to accompany Guo Jia.

In the evening, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao arrived in Xuchang City accompanied by hundreds of people. A city does not become a city because someone leaves, but if a city loses a person, it will definitely lose a lot of color. For Xu Changcheng, Guo Jia is such a person.

When Cao Cao saw Guo Jia, he was as happy and excited as when he was a child. Zhang Liao, who accompanied him, was also quite moved to see such a deep relationship between the two. Guo Jia once said to Zhang Liao: There are some things in people that are born with the body, such as feelings, such as preferences... These are not divided into gentlemen and children! And a person's greatest luck is to meet a confidant who is similar to his hobbies in the vast sea of people...

At a small banquet, Cao Cao talked to Guo Jia about Neheng from Jingzhou. What Cao Cao didn't expect was that Guo Jia could know this person. Guo Jia's evaluation of him: unruly and unruly, more fierce than a tiger; knowledgeable, not inferior to the famous people in the world; unruly, better than Guo Jia; first-class drumming, its realm is unprecedented!

I heard that You Heng was in Xuchang City, and Guo Jia was also surprised: Finally, I can have a full ear again! In this way, under Guo Jia's introduction, Cao Cao, who likes to hunt strange things, is very full of curiosity, and he is very eager to hear You Heng beat the drum in his heart. He wants to see what the unprecedented drum art is...

At the end of the dinner, Guo Jia and Cao Cao fell asleep. I haven't seen you for many days. Under the strong atmosphere of friendship, neither of them has the desire to play with women. During the conversation between the two, Guo Jia tried his best to praise Cao Cao and Zhang Liao. It is also because Guo Jia loves Zhang Liao very much that after many years, even if Guo Jia leaves Cao Cao, Cao Cao still loves Wu and Wu and cultivates Zhang Liao, making him the head of the "Five Tigers*" of the Cao Army.

The next day, Kong Rong took You Heng to Xuchang City Government Office. To the surprise of Kong Rong, when Emperor Zixian actually sat in the first place today, the empty court in the past is overcrowded today.

Seeing Emperor Xian, Kong Rong became serious from the bottom of his heart. After all, he has a loose temperament, but his bones are still the three principles and five permanents of feudal society. After all, he is a descendant of Confucius. He is a respectful visit to the Emperor.

And Neheng beside him was the collapse of Mount Tai in front of me with a calm look. Not only was he not restrained by the big scene, but after he accompanied Kong Rong to visit the Emperor, he raised his head and looked at the people present. It seems that he is the most powerful person on this occasion.

Last night, Cao Cao and Guo Jia talked about how arrogant you can be and how to stimulate your arrogance. At this time, the two of them have realized that the big occasion has stimulated your crazy thoughts.

Chen Qun saw that Kong Rong and You Heng had finished their worship. Emperor Xian also ordered them to stand up, while Cao Cao just whispered to Guo Jia, but he didn't make a sound and made them sit down. Just as he wanted to remind Cao Cao not to treat You Heng slowly, he remembered the voice of You Heng's yellow bell in the public hall: "Although the world is wide, why didn't you see anyone?"

"Oh, all the people here are the heroes of the world. You Heng, why do you talk wildly?" At this time, Cao Cao took over the topic of You Heng and asked. Previously, he talked to Guo Jia in a whisper. In fact, he just wanted to see how You Heng treated cold reception and neglect.

When Kong Rong saw that Yourheng's mood was out of control in an instant, he immediately pulled your balance's coat: This is the place where the emperor is present, and you can't do what you want. In case there is a slight difference, you will be convicted of disrespect, which is not a joke.

In order not to implicate Kong Rong, you went straight forward two steps, looked at Cao Cao with his eyes, and said calmly, "Oh, sir, who is here?"

"Ha ha, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, witty and far-sighted, although Xiao He and Chen Ping are not as good as them. Cai Yang and Xu Chu are brave, although Cen Peng and Ma Wu are not as brave. Lv Qian and Man Chong are engaged in it, and Xu Huang is the vanguard; Xiahou Dun is a genius in the world, and Cao Zi is a lucky general in the world. - No one is safe?" Cao Cao said with a glorious face and very elegantly.

When You Heng heard the words, his expression became extremely disdainful. He smiled and said, "Are you Cao Cao? Your words are tantamount to telling lies. You Heng knows all the people you are talking about: Xun Yu can make mourning and ask questions, Cheng Yu can make the door close, Guo Jia can make white words recite Fu, Cai Yang can beat drums and sing gold, Xu Chu can make herds herds and horses, Lv Qian can sharpen knives and cast swords, full of favors can make drinking and eat bad, Xu Huang can make slaughter pigs and dogs; Xiahou Dun called it a 'complete general', and Cao Zixiao called it 'a lot of money'. The rest are clothes racks, rice bags, wine barrels, meat-bag ears! Haha..." After you Heng finished speaking, he laughed wildly in the hall.

The people who were insulted by You Heng are now present. In the face of You Heng's amania, they were a little angry, some were surprised, and some could laugh at him... The young Emperor Xian was interesting when he heard You Heng's rebellious remarks. He looked at You Heng with a smile.

These words are all talked by you Heng, Kong Rong and Yang Xiu in private. Now they are put on the table by you, and Kong Rong is suddenly shocked. He looked at a loss.

Guo Jia raised his thumbs up secretly at Cao Cao with a smile on his face, which means: Is this your balance crazy enough?!

Cao Cao was staring at You Heng. After a moment of silence, he pretended to be angry and said, "Young man, what talent do you have? How dare you be so arrogant?"

Cao Cao's angry words and You Heng's grotesque words are the tip of the needle to Mai Mang. Kong Rong stopped You Heng from continuing to go crazy, so he whispered to You Heng, "Brother, you can eat too much rice, you can't say too much!"

Kong Rong's original intention was well-intentioned, but in this specific scene, it is tantamount to lighting the fuse of the explosive bag. You Heng's face immediately changed from disdain to seriousness, and said coldly, "Cao Mengde, Xiaosheng's talent is not enough... But Xiaosheng feels that he is more than enough than the top and the bottom. Compared with those here, astronomy and geography are all right; the three teachings and nine streams know everything; the top can be Yao and Shun, and the next one can be matched with Kong and Yan. How can we talk about it with the common people!"

As soon as you Heng said this, he scolded almost everyone on the spot - they were all winebags and rice bags; the implication of his words was that no one here was qualified to talk to him...

Hearing the arrogant and grotesque words of You Heng, Xu Huang, who was heroic, immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Cao Cao with a sword in his hand. At that moment, as long as Cao Cao gave an order, he rushed over and cut off You Heng's head in an instant. Cao Cao stared at Xu Huang and motioned him to kneel down.

Then, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked Geng Gently, "Ha ha, Neheng, what does your 'up' mean?"

"The 'shang' is 'one', it is the Tao, the Tao is transformed into a form, that is, the sunset and the moon rise, that is, the harmony of heaven and earth, that is, it exists like Laozi and Confucius... This is not what ordinary people such as you can understand!" Halfway through your words, it stopped abruptly.

"Oh, Youheng, I will also know your name from Kong Taishou's mouth! Kong Taishou spared no effort to recommend you to me... You are so talented, why can't Meng De see your name in the official notice?" Cao Cao-forced to ask. Cao Cao's implication is: If it weren't for Kong Rong's secret operation, you wouldn't have been able to seek an official position in the government... Of course, Cao Cao knew the inside story, and he just wanted to stimulate You Heng in this.

You Heng was about to answer. Chen Qun straightened his chest and arched his hand to Emperor Xian and said, "Your Majesty, I have been away from Xuchang for a few months. The officials who have selected talents dared to use their power to corrupt the law. I have begun to verify it, and there will be a result in the day!"

Then, he explained to Cao Cao, "General Cao, if there is such an official to block the road tiger, such as You Heng, such a poor man will certainly not be able to pass the barrier of the road tiger!" ...This is all caused by my negligence, and I am willing to bear the punishment..."

Chen Qun's expression told Cao Cao: Don't be like this young man! If you get serious, you can be convicted of great disrespect at this time, and you can die immediately! ...What do you do to take advantage of the momentum and torturing a fledgling young man?

Emperor Xian nodded slightly to Cao Cao and continued to pay attention to You Heng. He has never heard of You Heng's words, even if he has seen killing people and experienced the fear of knife racking his neck. He became more and more curious about Youheng.

Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun and pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, Chen Zhen, now such an ugly thing has happened in the place under his jurisdiction? Chen is engaged. I will support you to investigate strictly. Once you investigate to the end, no matter who you are, you must punish them severely! Don't tolerate adultery! ...Chen Zhen, as for your punishment, I won't investigate it for the time being, because you have been guilty of negligence, and you will also be negligent..."

After Cao Cao appeased Chen Qun, he looked at You Heng and said, "You Heng, according to Kong Taishou, you are good at beating drums. Now there is a drummer in my account. You just need to congratulate him or at the banquet in the morning and evening. I don't know if you are willing to serve?!"

You Heng found that Cao Cao was angry because he did not make his unruly remarks, and finally rewarded him with his official position in public. In this way, Cao Cao's performance was beyond his imagination.

You Heng couldn't deal with it for a while, but he was unwilling to put down his dignity. Finally, You Heng was silent and turned away from the hall. This grotesque behavior of You Heng surprised everyone: This young man is too bold, isn't he too arrogant? You don't have to give face to Cao Cao, but you also want to give face to the emperor!

The most anxious person present is Cao Cao. He is eager to listen to You Heng's drumming, but You Heng doesn't give him this opportunity. He thought that You Heng would accept his title, and then performed drumming in the hall...

Kong Rong witnessed You Heng leave, and then knelt down to Emperor Xian and pleaded for you Heng. Emperor Xian didn't say anything, but just looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao smiled and said nothing. He just looked at Chen Qun, who was responsible for checking the etiquette of the officials. At this time, Chen Qun also pretended to be confused and only looked at the dishes all over the table.

Finally, Cao Cao invited Kong Rong to return to his position, and he announced the official start of the banquet.

Guo Jia's evaluation of You Heng: As expected, he was young and vigorous, quite like Yuan Shao's elegant demeanor when he was young. Yuan Shao was also vigorous and strong in those years. He drew his knife in public and confronted with Dong Zhuo. At that time, Yuan Shao was only a junior general, and Dong Zhuo could deal with 20 Yuan Shao... His personal strength was so different that Yuan Shao actually used a knife with Dong Zhuo, which showed that Yuan Shao and You Heng had similar temperament.

Of course, the starting point of Youheng's arrogance is different from that of Yuan Shao: Youheng is angry that he can't get a place in the dark era. Yuan Shao is just Dong Zhuo, who supports the vested interests of the Han Dynasty and his family against the dictatorship.

On the second day, Guo Jia returned to Xuzhou City with Zhang Liao. Before leaving, Guo Jia advised Cao Cao not to kill You Heng. Even if he wanted to kill him, he would also use a knife to kill him! Guo Jia told Cao Cao: This person can't stay in Xuchang, otherwise he will definitely bring a lot of trouble to Cao Cao. Because you are young and energetic, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and it's easy to be used by others! It is easy to become a sharp weapon to attack Cao Cao...

Cao Cao is also clear about these possible events, but he really wants to see how arrogant you Heng can be?!

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia at that time: It would be a pity if such a madman was not displayed. He wanted to make You Heng famous with him for thousands of years! Leave a name in history! Even if you carry some bad reputation...

A month later, the messengers sent by Xu Chang returned one after another. Other heroes from all over China have the heart to cooperate with Cao Cao and jointly maintain the Han Dynasty, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou has never met Kong Rong and maintained an ambiguous attitude. Finally, Liu Biao only passed a document to Kong Rong, saying that as a royal relative, he firmly supported Emperor Xian and was determined! Since Liu Biao has not seen Kong Rong since beginning, this shows that he did not pay attention to Cao Cao, let alone Kong Rong, the great-grandson of Confucius.

Kong Rong returned to Xuchang with documents, and told Cao Cao truthfully and objectively about his own envoy to Jingzhou. Cao Cao didn't say anything about Liu Biao's reaction. Instead, he was particularly keen on the upcoming banquet - the banquet for the returning messenger.

In the past month, You Heng has led the salary, but he didn't come to beat the drum for Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Neheng to come to the mansion several times. Not only did he not come, but he also insulted Cao Cao: saying that Cao Cao Cao was a treacherous villain who deceived the world and made a reputation. With the help of Cao Cao's tolerance and love for talent, stepping on Cao Cao Cao's shoulder, your reputation has soared. Almost all the hawkers and children who play in the streets and alleys of Xuchang City know the name of You Heng! You Heng is the first person in Xuchang City at present.

Gong Cao engaged in Chen Qun has written several times, suggesting that Cao Cao expel You Heng from Xuchang. If this is someone else, Chen Qun suggested that Cao Cao behead him: he led the salary and did not participate in the attendance. This is called Chen Qun, who is responsible for assessing the political achievements of officials, and can't carry out the work smoothly. Recently, Chen Qun beheaded all the corrupt officials who were responsible for selecting talents, including Cao Cao's immediate family members... The reason why Chen Qun is tolerant of you Heng shows that Chen Qun, who is cautious in words and deeds and selfless, also likes You Heng very much from the bottom of his heart. After all, you Heng said his inner words in front of the world and Cao Cao. In a word, your Heng's performance made him feel comfortable and refreshing!

However, due to his responsibilities, Chen Qun had to write to Cao Cao again and again, suggesting that Cao Cao expel Youheng from Xuchang. The unrestrained Youheng affects Chen Qun's authority and is not conducive to his exercise of his authority: he can't even manage a drum official. How can he accuse the princes and generals of his mistakes? What's more, Youheng Yang Xiu and others often gather together to criticize the current malpractices, discuss Cao Cao's policies, accuse Cao Cao of the dictatorship, ignore the imperial power, and specialize in training civilian generals who are loyal to him.

In the face of the offensive remarks between You Heng, Yang Xiu and Kong Rong, and in the face of Chen Qun's repeated writings, Cao Cao ignored it and let it go. At the same time, because of the words and deeds of Yang Xiu and others, and Cao Cao does not punish them, some foreign talents think that Cao Cao is broad-minded, has a tolerant heart, and has the courage to accept hundreds of rivers. He is a capable minister and loyalty who does practical things and does not admire false reputation, and is worthy of his admiration and following.

On an auspicious day, Cao Cao chose this day to pick up the wind and dust for the returning messengers. Of course, Emperor Xian will not be absent from such a major celebration.

The banquet was held in the newly built small palace. Today is also the day when Emperor Xian officially moved into the palace. The two celebrations are gathered together, which also shows the thrifty style of Xuchang in Lindu.

No matter how arrogant you Heng is, he dares not refuse to be summoned in the name of the emperor. In the attention of everyone, he and Kong Rong walked together and calmly entered the palace. After visiting Emperor Xian, Kong Rong entered the high-ranking official seat, and You Heng could only kneel in the seat of low-level officials.

After the banquet officially began, Emperor Xian ordered the drum officials to cheer up. The nine drummers belonging to the palace stood up from their seats. They walked excitedly to the drum group and began to hammer drums. Drum group: A cowhide drum with a radius of two meters is placed horizontally on a wooden shelf, surrounded by eight drums with a radius of one meter.

The drummer of the palace swirled over the big drum with a radius of two meters, waving their hands, like butterflies flying through the flowers, and the majestic sound of drums echoed in the palace. The other eight drummers were sometimes dense and sometimes soothingly beating the big drums with a radius of one meter, and the layered drums stirred up everyone. The heart.
