In Wang Qian's view, He Jin's behavior was typical of not being able to position himself correctly.
Your family was born as a butcher in Nanyang, but now you are not even a scholar. How come you have the nerve to propose the idea of marriage to me?
Although my family is not a high-ranking family like the Yuan family, it is still a first-class scholar family with second and third sons. Although it is not high in ranking, it is not something ordinary people can get.
If you want to marry into my family, at least it must be a scholar family, right?
After all, the ancestors wanted some people to hold central official positions or local 2,000 stone, right?
Is it always necessary to be an official for generations?
You have nothing. You come from a butcher family and have always been able to wander around Nanyang County. If you hadn't taken the eunuch path and spent money to send your sister to the palace, you would still be killing pigs and sheep in your hometown!
Who do you think you are? Relying on the encouragement of his sister and the eunuch, he became a useless general. He raised his tail so high because of his great achievements. Do you think you are very noble?
I bother!
Marry my son?
Are you worthy?
Wang Qian did not insult He Jin in person like this, but that was what he meant. After he mercilessly rejected He Jin's marriage proposal, he also complained about He Jin's behavior in private, feeling that He Jin had pulled him down. The strong character of the family makes everyone think that the threshold for him to go home is very low, so he can try to step on it.
After He Jin learned about it, he felt insulted and terminated the operation very unhappy.
He thought it would be easy for him to talk about marriage with his subordinates as a superior, as a great general, but he never expected that he would suffer such humiliation.
It turns out that official position and social status are not equated in the eyes of these guys?
Since then, the feud between Wang Qian and He Jin has not been private, but has escalated to the surface.
Wang Qian was often passive and sabotaged his work, and He Jin was also very unfriendly to Wang Qian. He often made sarcastic remarks and complained a lot about Wang Qian.
Wang Qian didn't say anything, but he remembered it in his heart, so this time He Jin showed some weakness. Wang Qian immediately took the lead and charged, saying that I won't hang out with you anymore. If you want to die, you will die yourself. Don't drag me to do it for you. Padded.
He didn't want to do anything for He Jin who was at a disadvantage, so he patted his butt and ran fast.
He Jin's spirit suffered a heavy blow.
The occurrence of this incident clearly shows the attitude of the so-called "celebrities" under He Jin towards He Jin.
When it is advantageous, it is not impossible for me to lower my status and become your subordinate. Anyway, you are just a stepping stone, relying on your position to rise. This is a shortcut for a noble scholar.
But once something happens, don't expect me to be your loyal minister.
How much money do you give me per month?
Do you still expect me to work hard for you?
Thinking too much.
With Wang Qian taking the lead, others will no longer hide and tuck in.
Kong Rong, a celebrity from Beihai, a descendant of Confucius and a great general, followed Wang Qian's footsteps and ran away.
His reason was that there was something going on at home, he didn't even say what it was, he just ran away, very simply.
There is a reason why Kong Rong did this.
Kong Rong came from a wealthy family. He was a descendant of Confucius or a direct descendant. He was basically among the top noble families in the Han Dynasty and had a noble status.
When He Jin first took office as the general, Kong Rong visited He Jin because of Yang Ci's entrustment. As a result, He Jin did not meet with Kong Rong immediately. Kong Rong was angry, so he swung his face at the gate to cause trouble, and refused to give He Jin anything. Enter face.
He Jin was very angry. At that time, someone suggested killing Kong Rong. He Jin was very moved. Fortunately, he was persuaded by his subordinates. In order to improve his reputation, he apologized to Kong Rong and even summoned Kong Rong as an official to show his generosity. .
Kong Rong himself did not want to agree to He Jin or associate with the butcher, but due to Yang Ci's request and the pressure from all aspects, he was also worried that He Jin would be really angry and kill him regardless. He thought that it would be better to do less than to do more, so he thought Yiheng agreed to He Jin.
Over the years, Kong Rong was a master of fishing anyway, and had not given He Jin any power to get in or out. He Jin himself knew what Kong Rong was here to do, so he treated it as a mascot, as long as Kong Rong was known as a general. , He Jin was satisfied.
I have a descendant of Confucius serve as an official. How honorable is that?
When things came to a close, the mascot actually ran away regardless.
He Jin suffered another heavy blow.
He felt that he had treated these celebrities with great respect over the years. He provided them with good food and drink, and gave them all the things they should have during the holidays. He always thought of them first when he had good things to do, and he even developed feelings for them by raising a dog. .
As a result, these blood monsters were not touched at all, and they even felt that He Jin was dragging them down.
This is not the end.
Before leaving, Kong Rong also persuaded his friend Wang Lang, hoping that Wang Lang would not stay in Luoyang to avoid being implicated when He Jin was liquidated.
He advised Wang Lang to run away quickly and not stay for a second longer.
Wang Lang's political background was that he was a disciple of the Hongnong Yang family. He studied with Yang Ci and was a member of the modern literature school, so he naturally had no dealings with Liu Bei and Lu Zhi. Although the dispute between modern and ancient literature has receded, The old grievances accumulated by both sides are still there.
Wang Lang originally felt that it was quite meaningful to serve under He Jin, but now he heard Kong Rong's persuasion and his heart pounded.
It's okay if He Jin wins, but if He Jin loses, he is an official of He Jin and a disciple of the Yang family, so he has been marked as certain to die, and he will definitely be killed by Liu Bei.
I originally thought that He Jin was very powerful and would be able to rise to prominence by cooperating with the Yuan family. When the time came, he would be able to play the role of a dragon without losing the courtesy of a feudal lord. However, Liu Bei didn't even put in any effort, and He was brought down. When you enter, you will show your timidity.
The army cannot be defended, and the subordinates cannot be defended. Is this how we can win?
Wang Lang thought for a while and felt that if he didn't run away now, when would he wait?
So Wang Lang also found an excuse and ran away.
The excuse was very hasty. A relative at home had a baby and invited him back for dinner, so he wanted to resign.
This was already very unethical, but what was even more unethical was that before Wang Lang escaped, he persuaded General Ling Shibian to give up.
He had some friendship with Kong Rong and Bian Rang. Based on this friendship, he gave Bian Rang a hand and asked Bian Rang not to work for the butcher He Jin.
Bian Rang was a well-known scholar in Yanzhou. He was friends with Cai Yong in Luoyang. He was also a member of the Pan-Ancient Literature School at that time. Therefore, he felt that even if He Jin was killed, he would not be killed because of Cai Yong's reputation. Kill.
Therefore, he was concerned about his own reputation and the idea of relying on He Jin's official position to advance to a higher level in the future, while letting him run away as a bachelor who had not planned to be so single.
But Wang Lang also said that there might be a war in Luoyang and blood would be shed. If you, a weak Confucian scholar, stayed in such a dangerous place, wouldn't you be afraid of becoming the victim of an illiterate soldier?
That's too much of a loss, right?
Wang Lang's persuasion made Bian Rang shaken.
After thinking about it, I thought about the possibility of a big war in Luoyang in the future and the bloodshed between the two palaces. Then I thought about my powerless state. If I was chopped down by a big-headed soldier, my whole life would be like that. Yes, it would be such a loss.
Why take such a risk? It's really not worth it.
So Bian Rang also decided to run away.
He quickly submitted his resignation to He Jin. The reason was that he had a friend who was sick and was about to die. He wanted to see him before he died. He couldn't bear to be separated from his friend, so he decided to see him.
Then, without waiting for He Jin's reaction, he started to leave Luoyang overnight.
By the time He Jin found out about this, Bian Rang had already escaped victoriously.
Kuai Yue ran away, Liu Biao ran away, Bao Xin ran away, Wang Qian ran away, Kong Rong ran away, Wang Lang ran away, Bian Yi ran away...
They all ran away happily together.
He Jin was left alone in the general's mansion in Luoyang City, stunned.
Just ran away?
In a short period of time, seven important members of He Jin's "talented" General's Mansion ran away, leaving He Jin with no face at all.
In this way, one-third of the political team and political foundation that He Jin had spent five years building up were wiped out by Liu Bei's combination of punches and belt blows. He was still the most famous and best-born person. That third can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Direct human losses are not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that after this group of people escaped, this situation had a terrible impact on the hearts of the entire General's Mansion and even the Insect Alliance.
