Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Cao Cao looked at Cui Yan: "I wonder what Ji Gui thinks of my son-in-law?"

Cui Yan's expression was gloomy: "I don't have any objections to Tai Ning, but it's not appropriate for Tai Ning to be the eldest son's assistant."

"I don't meet much with Taining. The limited few meetings are when discussing matters. I believe everyone has seen how Taining behaved. This person is perverse, lazy, a little smart but lacks great wisdom, and he goes to the office when things happen. There is no responsibility to hide behind."

"Dare to ask my lord, how can a person with such a personality be able to serve as the future lord's staff? In my opinion, the only advantage of Taining is that he does not fight or grab, but this is a sign of no aggressiveness. It can be said that this person has no Merit."

After Cui Yan finished speaking, the three of Cao Cao looked at each other.

Although a bit extreme, the summary of Han Ze is almost all accurate.

Many details in Han Ze's actions were covered up by the performance, which caused people to misunderstand.

But Cao Cao knew in his heart that if he added what he had heard, and then showed Han Ze's strategy of pretending to delay Jia Xu's contribution, almost all of Han Ze's evaluations could be reversed, except for that advantage.

Cao Cao almost laughed out loud when he heard Cui Yan's comment, which completely turned Han Ze's story on its head. In Cao Cao's view, that only advantage was Han Ze's greatest weakness.

If Han Ze could be more determined to fight for credit, if Han Ze could be more enterprising, I'm afraid Xu would look different now.

Seeing that Cao Cao laughed after listening to his explanation, Cui Yan became more disgusted with Han Ze in his heart, and actually confused the lord to such an extent.

Xun Yu had already seen that Cao Cao had an abnormal attitude towards Han Ze, so he would not intervene in matters related to Han Ze, but this time seemed to be a good insertion point, and perhaps he could learn more about the inside story.

"Ji Gui's words are wrong, Taining is not as unbearable as you said."

Cui Yan snorted coldly, has even Xun Lingjun been corrupted now?

"Wen Ruo, don't try to defend that person anymore. Don't talk about anything else. Jia Wenhe was such a wise man in Wancheng, but what about now?"

"When did it start? It was after Taining and Wenhe sat together. From then on, Jia Wenhe could perform as amazingly as Wancheng again."

Cui Yan rolled his eyes at Cao Cao, coughed dryly and saluted Cao Cao: "I was excited for a while, and I didn't mean to target the lord. Please don't blame the lord."

Cao Cao was tired, you said everything, you apologized to me after you finished speaking, and told me not to worry about it, so what else can I say.

"Mr. Cui is not targeting me, but my virtuous son-in-law. I can still hear that."

Cui Yan was embarrassed, but did not flinch.

"Yes, I was targeting Taining, but I was wrong about Wenhe."

Even Cao Cao was a little embarrassed now, Jia Xu was indeed led by Han Ze, and now even Cao Cao was worried every day that other counselors were led by Han Ze.

"Cough, Wen He is an exception, don't you see that other people are not affected?"

"Hmph, that's not close enough."

Cui Yan sneered a little.

"Xu Yuanzhi has also fallen into it now, we'll just have to see his performance in the future."

Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat, Xu Yuan came to meet Han Ze directly, and now he is working under Han Ze's command, I am afraid that he will really be assimilated in the future.

Before Xun Yu could help explain, Cui Yan made another stab.

"I heard that a talented person from Jingzhou also entered Taining's tent recently. It seems that his name is Zhuge Kongming. You should worry more about these people."

Xun Yu was speechless, not knowing what to explain, so he looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia had just received Han Ze's great kindness during the Battle of Guandu, so he also had a good impression of Han Ze. Although some inside information was unclear, Han Ze's plan was not bad at all, and this alone was enough to look down on the current court.

"Ji Gui may have misunderstood it. Taining is just not interested in fame, so that's why he looks so tired."

Cui Yan frowned tightly, why even Feng Xiao was influenced by that boy, could it be that all the counselors around the lord were bribed by Han Ze now?

"Feng Xiao's words are really bad. Taining's achievements are rewarded by the lord, and now his title is higher than all of you."

Guo Jia felt that he had been stabbed.

Cui Yan continued: "Taining is now the supervisor of the Commercial Department, which can be said to be the most profitable position in Xudu. He controls millions of goods in Xudu, and the investment of various chambers of commerce under his jurisdiction is also flourishing."

"Which family's income is as high as Taining's, and I heard that Taining has released another perfume. My family and children all buy it, and it must be a big income."

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Cao Cao all felt that they had been stabbed, and they all hid the perfume in their arms.

Cui Yan wanted to say something more, Cao Cao raised his hand to stop him.

"Ji Gui doesn't know something. Since Wancheng, Taining has contributed countless ideas and suggestions, and there are always unexpected moves. You don't know the details, and I won't explain it to you. You can understand it in the future."

"I just want to say that Taining's talent is rare in this world."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cui Yan saw Xun Yu and Guo Jia nodding one after the other, and doubts gradually arose in his heart. Could it be that Han Ze's scoundrel appearance is just a disguise, but what's the point of such a disguise?

Cui Yan couldn't figure out the meaning of this, but Cao Cao had already pointed out that Taining was a great talent, so he was asked to assist Cao Ang. Today, he was called here to pave the way for Taining's future, and he paved the way for his talent.

Thinking of this, Cui Yan was thoughtful: "If my lord insists on doing this, I have nothing to say, but literati look down on each other, and you must show your talent to convince everyone."

At this moment, Cui Yan’s meaning is also very clear. It’s okay for you, Cao Cao, to push Han Ze out. I can also help you brag, but at least I have something to brag about. Persuasive.

Moreover, Cui Yan has a special status, not only representing famous literary figures, but also the Qinghe Cui family behind him.

The Cui family members spread across multiple forces. If these forces are unified in the future, everyone will naturally work together. This will form a very powerful official force, which is also Cao Cao's support for Han Ze.

Cao Cao asked Cui Yan to support Han Ze, and Cui Yan asked Han Ze to show that he was qualified to be supported.

Cao Cao nodded: "Okay, Taining will definitely impress Ji Gui."

The relationship between the two was more like a transaction. Cao Cao wanted the support of the gentry represented by Cui Yan and his family. After Cui Yan supported Han Ze, he would also bring more protection to those gentry and his family.

Cui Yan was really resistant to mahjong, so he left immediately after talking about business, leaving only Cao Cao and three people in the yard.

"My lord, what Cui Yan means is that if Taining is to show his value, should he entertain celebrities and nobles?"

Guo Jia was also a little undecided: "Is it necessary for my lord to make it so big?"

Cao Cao thought of Han Ze who often slandered him, and a smile appeared on his face: "If you want to do it, then do it big. Push Taining directly in front of everyone, and see how lazy he is."
