Wang Yun stills
Re-brushing the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the first episode is the plot of Situ Wang Yun pretending to invite the 60th birthday feast to the courtiers, but did not invite Cao Cao alone, and as a result, Cao Cao did not invite himself. After Cao Cao descended the court, he observed a small yellow door whispering to the ministers one by one, but he did not talk to himself, and he who was observant and sensitive immediately went to question Xiao Huangmen: "You whisper to every minister, but you only miss me, but do you look down on me Cao Cao?" ”
Here, Cao Cao can be said to have encountered the "unfair treatment" of Xiao Huangmen and was isolated. However, he was not embarrassed in the slightest, but instead boldly went forward to question, frightening Xiao Huangmen into panicking.
Later, the ministers of the Lower Dynasty went out in groups, and they gathered to discuss the sixtieth birthday of Situ Wang Yun, and Cao Cao listened to them. Obscurity was not Cao Cao's style, and he went forward to stop Lord Yuan and wanted to talk to him alone. In the new version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is very interesting to savor the dialogue between the two of them, on the surface Cao Cao seems to be "close to" with Lord Yuan, and wants to learn more information from him to understand why Wang Situ did not invite himself alone. Although Lord Yuan's tone was humble, he also had ridicule and ridicule of Cao Cao in his bones. In the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, he did not answer and asked: "Why did Lord Situ invite courtiers, but did not invite you?" ”
Cao Cao said that he was a lowly and pickled dog, and that he was a "thief by example". Lord Yuan further asked, "What kind of thief is the matter?" Whose eagle dog is it? He wanted to embarrass Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not, but instead said out loud: "The national thief Dong Zhuo." At this time, Lord Yuan panicked and asked him to make a small noise. However, Cao Cao had already understood that these people were all pedantic Confucian ministers who dared to scold Dong Zhuo as a national thief behind their backs, but on the surface they were more afraid of death than anyone else, but they were just some "rats" who were not great weapons.
Did Cao Cao's series of attempts to blend into Wang Yun's birthday feast in order to eat a feast and drink a pot of good wine? No, he had anticipated from the very beginning that Wang Yun's birthday banquet was definitely not an ordinary birthday banquet, especially at the moment when Dong Zhuo was usurping the country, this group of courtiers must find an opportunity to conspire to assassinate.
Therefore, that night, Cao Cao came to Wang Situ's mansion alone, and as a result, Wang Situ really let him in, and he also successfully entered this "conspiracy group".
So the question is, why did Wang Yun invite the courtiers, but not Cao Cao alone? If it was because of his low status, coupled with the fact that he was "Dong Zhuo's eagle dog", he really did not want him to participate in this "conspiracy", then when the next person who guarded the door came to report that Cao Cao was uninvited to come to this news, Wang Yun also specified that he would not be allowed to come in.
But what did Wang Yun do? At the end of the feast, he added a small table and set up a pot of wine. It seems to be unexpected, but in fact, it is all expected by Wang Yun, that is, after Cao Cao sits down, he will come to watch this "performance".
Therefore, after the feast began, Wang Yun said that today was not actually his birthday, but his own "death day", which caused Dong Zhuo to talk about it. When it came to the "death day", the other ministers were surprised and confused, as if they really only came to eat the birthday feast, only Cao Cao was calm on the surface, because everything was within his expectations.
Later, when it comes to the grief of the Han Dynasty, the crowd still can't cry, only Cao Cao laughs and laughs, mocking these big husbands present here, doing their best to be "daughters".
And the end of the banquet is even more interesting, when Cao Cao said loudly that he could "take down Dong Zhuo's first rank" at the snap of his fingers, the courtiers were shocked and scolded him as an "arrogant person", and Wang Yun did not ask anything more, pretending to be angry, and took this opportunity to fork Cao Cao out.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the courtiers, Cao Cao was an uninvited guest at Wang Yunshou's birthday banquet, and he also made a big fuss, saying that he was going to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and was driven out by Wang Yun. At least from the perspective of the Qunchen, Cao Cao and Wang Yun were not in the same camp. In the future, even if something happens, there will be no direct evidence to pull Wang Yun to him.
This is also where Wang Yun's shrewdness lies. But this is not the main thing, the most important thing is to "test" Cao Cao.
Sure enough, after Cao Cao was driven out of the gate of Situ Mansion, Wang Yun sent another hand down to stop Cao Cao, explain the reason to him, and let him wait for Wang Yun in the study to finish. After arriving at the study, Cao Cao and Wang Yun talked a lot, and Cao Cao also mentioned that the "Seven Star Sword" he had here could be of great use in assassination, such a unique treasure, Wang Yun could be said to have given it to Cao Cao without hesitation.
If it is said that it was from the banquet, after hearing Cao Cao's words of "taking down Dong Zhuo's first rank", he had trust in Cao Cao, and the possibility was not very great; so the most likely reason was that Wang Yun invited the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to the banquet, almost all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but did not invite Cao Cao, just to test him, did not expect that he really came himself, and indeed had the intention of assassinating Dong Zhuo, so it was a hit.
Moreover, among the group of ministers that Wang Yun had invited, when it came to the state thief Dong Zhuo and the Han Chamber, this group of people cried more sadly than the women, and it was simply impossible to rely on them to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Compared with them, Cao Cao, whether it was his mind, ability and temperament, or his relationship with Dong Zhuo, was more suitable for the work of "assassination". Therefore, giving him the Seven-Star Sword was also a desperate gamble.
