Chapter 133: The Scholars Conspiracy
The emperor was getting sicker and sicker, and even the good news that came one after another did not lift his spirits at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Perhaps it was because God felt the death of the emperor, and the first few months of Zhongping's sixth year were particularly smooth.
In the spring of February, the left general Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo divided the troops, so that Dong Zhuo was the rear refusal, and he led the army to fight with the kingdom alone, and finally broke the kingdom in Chencang, beheaded more than 10,000 levels, and the kingdom died in the chaos.
In March, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu issued a reward for buying the heads of Yuyang thieves Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, Qiu Liju and others at a high price. On the green forest road in Hebei, all the rangers moved when they heard the wind. Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and others were helpless, and went away, and finally Zhang Chun was killed by Wang Zheng, the doorman, and the head was sent to Liu Yu. Zhang Ju is nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, in Liangzhou and Youzhou, the thieves couldn't help but be stunned. No longer arrogant and blazing before.
In the summer of April, there was an eclipse of the sun, and the Taiwei Ma Riyan was gone, and Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu was the Taiwei.
In the palace, the emperor has been struggling to get up. Outside the palace, the General's Mansion is full of friends, He Jin, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Zheng Tai, Xun You...... Full of tasseled crowns, all of which are a temporary choice.
It was no secret that the emperor was seriously ill, so they discussed nothing else, but the political situation after the emperor's death.
Scholars and eunuchs are in the same situation, with you and without me, this is already known to the world. And the general He Jin's family has today's powerful position, but there are many eunuchs. This time, it was the scholars and doctors who united to put pressure on the general He Jin, hoping that he would stand up at a critical moment and punish all the people in the party.
It's just that the effect is not very good. He Jin himself swayed from side to side, and the scholars were also divided into two factions. One faction is the radical faction dominated by Yuan Shao, who has always advocated that as long as he is a eunuch, he must be punished; The other faction is the moderates, mainly Cao Cao and Xun You, who advocate that it is enough to punish the traitors who are corrupt and corrupt. There can't all be bad people with so many eunuchs, right?
Such meetings have been going on for several days, and each time they have ended in quarrels, but no final result has been discussed. If Liu Bei was here, he would sneer and mock their execution.
After He Jin sent everyone away, he couldn't help but sigh in the study. Before he developed, he was just an ordinary family, although he has soared and become powerful with his sister Queen He over the years, but his essence is still a little weak. After many struggles and trade-offs in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind to punish the eunuchs.
Not to mention anything else, Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants, was his township party, and it was he who asked him back then that he was able to send his sister He into the palace, and then ascended to the throne of the queen step by step, and his mother was the world.
There is also Zhang Rang's son, the imperial physician Ling Zhang Feng, who is his sister-in-law and took his other sister, how can He Jin be good?
The He family is the queen, and the benefits brought to the family can be said to be one person's enlightenment, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven. His father He Zhen died early, and he was posthumously named the general of the chariot cavalry, and the Marquis of Xuande in Wuyang; His mother was named Wuyang Jun; He Jin rose all the way from the service to the general and Shenhou who is now in power; And He Miao is the general of the cavalry and the Marquis of Jiyang. It can be described as a noble one. And in the middle, there is a lot of power from eunuchs.
In addition to Guo Sheng's great kindness such as bringing the He family into the palace, there was also the time when the He family poisoned the prince Liu Xie, who gave birth to the prince Liu Xie, because of jealousy. At that time, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and he was almost about to be abolished again, but fortunately, Zhang Rang and others kowtowed and begged for mercy and paid money, and said all the good things before the emperor changed his mind.
To be a man is to talk about conscience, such a great kindness, not to mention going to the spring to repay him, but to stab him in the back. Whether as an ordinary person or as a general, He Jin is tormented by his conscience. Of course, qualified politicians are not among them, but undoubtedly, He Jin is not.
To punish the eunuch, there are many obstacles, in addition to He Jin's inner pass, he also has to face Queen He and his younger brother He Miao. Her younger sister, Queen He, is a woman, and she only knows who is good to her, and she will be good to whom. has lived in the palace for many years, except for competing for favor, he has no teacher, and he doesn't understand anything about the current situation and politics. The eunuchs surrounded her, and her ears and eyes were touched, how could she harden her heart and attack the people who got along day and night?
As for He Miao, He Jin snorted coldly, he had always felt a headache for this younger brother who was not related by blood. He beat his mother and died young, and his father married a widow. Women, the stepmother bought one and got one free, and brought a younger brother over, who was later He Miao. As for the two younger sisters, they were born to the stepmother and He Jin's father, and they have a common blood relationship with He Jin and He Miao.
Maybe there is a shadow in childhood, anyway, He Miao has not dealt with his eldest brother since he was a child, no matter how He Jin treats He Miao well, especially after the death of his father He Zhen, He Jin is even more responsible for supporting the family. But He Miao still didn't appreciate it, He Jin said that he would say the west, and He Jin said that he would catch chickens if he picked up the dog......
What exactly did He Jinjia do, only Fan Ye said: "Wusheng Snake Xiang, from the sheep slaughtering ......", indicating that He Jinjia is a sheep slaughterer, and the family is engaged in sheep slaughtering, which does not mean that he has to go into battle to do it personally, let alone the pig slaughterer that the brick family said in later generations.
On the contrary, He Jin's appearance is quite handsome, if he had a vulgar appearance that could not be put on the stage, he would not sit in the position of a general in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty who pays attention to style. His sister is beautiful and his mother is beautiful in the world, his grandson He Yan is handsome, and the allusions of Fu Fan He Lang have been passed down to future generations, which shows the strength of his family's genes.
And He entered the Beijing Division, and he also studied under the disciple of the emperor Yang Ci at that time, which shows that he is not a vulgar and unwritten reckless man. Yang Ci is Hongnong Yang's family, not to mention the generations of hairpins, he is also known for his noble character, profound knowledge, and strong personality. Unlike some people in later generations, who are flattering and compete to accept the powerful as disciples, even if it is a name. If you don't have any real skills or sincerity, if you want to worship under his door, don't even think about it.
At that time, Jin Shangmen played right, and he and Cai Yong spoke the most fiercely, but Cai Yong was sentenced to death, and after being rescued by Liu Bei and others, he was exiled; And Yang Ci was opened by the emperor because he was the emperor's teacher, but he was also dismissed at home.
What is He Jin's intention to worship Yang Ci as a teacher? If it was for the sake of learning, he could have worshiped academic authorities such as Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, but he didn't. If it was for the official position, he would be a relative, and his sister Queen He would have a respected and stable status, and she would not ask for Yang Ci. So what is he really for?
For the sake of identity change.
He Jin is a person with great perseverance, otherwise he would not have spent a lot of money to ask Guo Sheng to send his sister to the palace. Although he is an uncle of the country and has risen step by step, he is not a person who doesn't understand anything.
Since the dynasty, how many people have been able to die well as relatives? Needless to say, the Zhulu, Bo family, and Dou family were too far away when Emperor Gao founded the country, as evidenced by the former general Dou Wu of this dynasty and Liang Ji, the former general of the first emperor.
He Jin did not want to follow in their footsteps, he was actually very repulsive to all kinds of political disputes, he only hoped that his children and grandchildren would enjoy wealth and prosperity for a long time, and rest with the country.
After He Jin's research, he came to a conclusion. That is, there will always be new relatives, and as soon as the emperor changes, new relatives will replace old relatives. But the scholars and the scholars will not, no matter who is the son of heaven, the rule of the world must always rely on them. This is how the generations of the world's great families were formed, before the Han Dynasty, had you ever heard of the Yang family, the Yuan family, the Yang family, and the Cui family? After the Han Dynasty, these scholars were full of scholars and scholars, which gave them today's status. As long as the children and grandchildren are angry, even if they can't be high-ranking officials and become the hope of a county, then there should be no problem in being a local gentry who is a heirloom of poetry and books, right?
The children of the family have no ability, so they live in the field; The children in the family have the ability, and it is natural to be promoted. is much better than being a relative who is worried about being afraid and doesn't know when his wealth will be gone.
This is the fundamental reason why He Jin has gradually distanced himself from eunuchs and become closer to scholars since he came to power.
Since he held a high position, he has continued to recommend and recruit famous people and sages, such as Wang Qian, Wu Fu, Yuan Shao, Bian Rang, Liu Biao, Dong Fu, Zhao Qi, Kong Rong, Xun You, etc., although there are also Zheng Xuan, Chen Yu, Shen Tupan and so on do not give him face, but it also shows his sincerity.
It's a pity that he is dedicated to the family, but his sister Queen He and younger brother He Miao don't understand his hard work. Not to mention the hot fight with the eunuchs, he often persuaded him, asking him to know that he would repay his kindness, and he couldn't turn his face and deny people when he suddenly became rich and noble......
He Jin is also really tired, his relatives are not on his side, and the scholars he wants to get close to are pressing forward step by step, only urging him to make a decision quickly, so as to wipe out the eunuchs.
Tonight, after He Jin's fierce ideological struggle, the balance gradually tilted in favor of the scholars. Not for anything else, for his nephew Liu Yan, he also has to fight.
If you are close to the eunuchs, can you be close to the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven has never liked to distinguish children, and the position of the East Palace has been vacant until now, if it were not for the queen, his uncle would worship the general, but I am afraid that the position of the East Palace has already been decided?
Since even if he fully falls to the eunuchs, he will not be able to win the help of the eunuchs in the battle for the crown prince, so it is no wonder that he is ruthless. At the very least, scholars pay attention to etiquette, and they pay the most attention to the distinction between concubines and concubines. Jie'er is the eldest son of the emperor, and he is from the queen, he has no fault, and he is a natural candidate for the crown prince, but the son of heaven does not like it, which leads to the vacancy of the East Palace and the instability of the country. The scholars have long had an opinion. Why don't you merge with the scholars, eradicate the eunuchs, and then protect your nephew. In this way, the family can still enjoy the wealth......
When He Jin was deep in thought at home, Yuan Shao's house was also holding a conference.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Zheng Tai, Wang Kuang, Xun You and other celebrities were present one by one. Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, he was tall and slender, with a handsome face, according to the standards of this time, he was a first-class beauty. Yuan Shao said slowly: "The general is weak by nature, and there are queens and chariots to get in the way. The general was embarrassed. Time is tight, we can't put all our hopes on the general, otherwise, we will be in danger! ”
Cao Cao said on the left side: "But what is the original intention? ”
Yuan Shao looked around and said loudly: "The only way to plan now is to summon other towns into Beijing and punish the eunuchs!" ”
As soon as these words fell, Zheng Tai, Cao Cao, Xun You and others were shocked and said: "Absolutely not! ”
Thank you for your support.
