Chapter Forty-Six: The Death of Yang Qiu
Duan Xi died, and the emperor worshiped Liu Kuan, the captain, as the captain, and gave the position of the lieutenant to Yang Qiu. Not long after the pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info, the amnesty of the world, the magistrate of Shanglu County and Hai said that according to the rules of the ancestors, fathers and sons and brothers, the crimes are not related, and now the party members and the five clans have good discipline...... The emperor happened to be in a good mood, and his heart was touched, so he ordered all the party members to imprison and remove the small merits below (since the ancestors, it is not counted.) )
In the autumn and July, Zhang Xiu, the general of the Xiongnu Zhongyun, was reported by the Southern Xiongnu because he was good at beheading Shan Yu and set up Qiang Canal as Shan Yu, so he was imprisoned and died. The call is the son of Tu Teruo, who was born out of Xia Yu in the sixth year of Xiping. Xia Yujun was defeated and returned, Tu Teruo's corpse was only seriously injured, he survived for a while, he didn't survive, Yu Guanghe died in the first year, and his son was called for Shan Yu. Zhang Xiu was good at beheading Yu, which made the Southern Xiongnu people angry and frightened, and the imperial court had to put Zhang Xiu to death in order to appease the people's hearts.
Liu Bei has been watching politics with the court, and he has gained a lot these days. He found that among the ministers, there were also factions. According to family background, status, in-laws and other relationships, a small circle is formed one after another. And these small circles are set one by one, which is really complicated. Sometimes these circles cooperate, sometimes they are opposed. It's a lot of trouble. Liu Bei also discovered that courtiers and eunuchs are not just dead or alive. There are also in-laws among them. For example, the woman of Yangqiu is the daughter of Cheng Huang, a regular servant; And Xun Yu Xun Wenruo's future wife, who is known as Wang Zuozhicai, is also the daughter of Tang Heng, a regular servant. The relationship is intricate and difficult to describe. Is the confrontation between Confucian ministers and eunuchs a political need, or is it for the sake of power and profit? Liu Bei couldn't figure it out, but in his heart, to govern the country, he still had to rely on hundreds of officials, and relying on eunuchs was not the right way for a long time? However, there is one thing that Liu Bei has kept in mind, that is, to do things in the future, the confidentiality work must be done well. Don't be like the ministers who can't keep secrets, things haven't been done yet, and as soon as the signs are revealed, they are flying all over the sky, and there are loopholes everywhere. Just like this, I still want to get rid of the eunuchs, and I don't even think about it.
After Yang Qiu became the guard, he was confused and confused every day. Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, sighed secretly in his heart, and thought Yang Fangzheng, Ah Fangzheng, you also have today. He knew that the Yang Ball was about to end, but when he remembered that the Yang Ball was finished because of the eunuch, he felt quite bad in his heart. At this time, as soon as the eunuchs intervene in everything, what laws and regulations, and what state systems are all set up. Every time Liu Bei thought about this, he understood why so many ministers went to conspire with the eunuchs. Didn't even his little Lang center turn to the idea of eradicating the eunuchs? It is really a national affair, how can it be entrusted to the hands of eunuchs? In between, it is destined to be incompatible. Unless one side falls completely.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cao Jie to buy Cheng Huang, and after learning about Yangqiu's plan, he sued the emperor: "Your Majesty, Liu He and others often communicate with the vassal state, and they have many malicious intentions. Infantry Captain Liu Na, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, and Wei Wei Yangqiu were sparse and consulted. ”
The emperor couldn't listen to the ministers' private collusion, let alone the involvement of the vassal state? He was furious on the spot and sent all the people to prison. Before the ministers could react, they suddenly realized that the eunuchs had the upper hand again, and they actually turned the situation around in one fell swoop.
Seeing the triumphant appearance of Cao Jie and the others, the ministers were furious, and one by one they went forward to write letters to implore the emperor for mercy. Liu Bei also wrote: "...... Situ Liu He, the Miao descendant of the King of Hejian, Cao Jie and others slandered Liu He's communication with the vassal state, and wanted to sow discord between the clan? Wei Wei Yangqiu, and Cao Jie and others have a gap...... This is a deliberate revenge, and the words are not enough to prove it! Infantry captain Liu Na, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu and others are all upright ministers, and they have many merits in the community, so they should not be killed...... Fu Wei Holy Son of Heaven sees it! ”
Liu Bei couldn't understand what Cao Jie was going to do, it was enough to deal with a yang ball, why drag so many people into the water, do you want to stand up? Aren't they afraid of arousing public outrage? Liu Bei didn't know that it was Situ Liu He, Liu Na and Chen Qiu who supported Yangqiu's plot to punish Wang Fu and Cao Jie. Liu He's brother Liu Qian once conspired with the general Dou Wu to punish the eunuchs, and they were defeated and died together. This is where the blood feud is formed. As for Chen Qiu, in the first year of Xiping, Cao Jie and others wanted to bury the Empress Dowager Dou elsewhere, but the result was that Chen Qiu and Li Xian argued with reason, and the Empress Dowager Dou was buried with Emperor Huan. Now that I checked, Chen Qiu actually dared to fan the flames behind Yang Qiu, okay, don't run away. Infantry captain Liu Na, when the official worshiped Shangshu before, he was disgusted by the eunuch because of his integrity and daring to speak, so he was demoted to an infantry captain, who would he arrest if he was not arrested? It can be said that this list was carefully prepared by Cao Jie.
Well, Cao Jie, don't you like to put hats on people? I will wear it as well. Liu Bei, who has been baptized by the Internet, is not afraid of Cao Jie making something out of nothing. Because he's better at it.
That's when the gap comes. When the ministers wrote to them, they all pleaded with each other, saying that they should remember their previous merits and hard work, so that Your Majesty would be merciful and have mercy on them, and not blame them. Let's let them go home for the sake of the common people. Either that, or how to scold the eunuchs for interfering in politics. Liu Bei was different, and when he came up, he directly accused Cao Jie of framing Liu He and stirring up feelings between the clans. Could it be that after being the same clan, it is not possible to exchange feelings through letters? If this is the case, all the princes and kings of the whole world will be counted as one, and all of them must be arrested. What do you want to do? Do you want to force the princes and kings who rebel against the world? Do you want the Son of Heaven to bear the infamy of not caring for the clan? It's just damning! As for Yang Qiu, he is on the same page as your eunuchs, and his grudge is deep. It is normal for you to be enemies of each other and retaliate against each other, how can your testimony be believed......
As soon as Liu Bei played in court, the court simply exploded. In fact, it's not that the ministers can't think of the reason in Liu Bei's remarks, but the ministers don't dare to say it, what if what they said in Cao Jie is true? Isn't it going to get into trouble? Even if they thought that Cao Jie and they were all rumors and framed, they didn't dare to bet. Saving people is to save people, but if people can't save them, but instead have to put their own lives on the line, so that both ends are in vain, isn't it worth it? The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and the same is true for officials. The ministers had a lot of worries one by one, thinking of a way out. Naturally, it is not like Liu Bei, who is hot-blooded and sharp.
As soon as Cao Jie heard what Liu Bei said, his head exploded, and he felt that he and others were used to playing with their tongues to please the emperor, but he didn't expect that this Liu Bei was also sharp-tongued. This hat of provoking the clan and forcing the princes and kings to rebel was too heavy, and he didn't dare to take it. So he immediately knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, how dare the old slave be selfish when he is dedicated to the country?" Liu He ascended to the top of the stage, and the world looked forward, but he didn't know how to restrain himself, although the clan couldn't help but write, but Situ dared to communicate privately? Yang Qiu and Liu He, the connection is not clear, the letters are dense, there must be misdeeds, and it is advisable to punish them together. Liu Na, Chen Qiu, etc., should be handed over to Tingwei...... "This can be regarded as a compromise with Liu Bei."
The emperor was about to have a seizure when he read Liu Bei's recital, but Cao Jie knelt down and cried, and his heart softened again. So he said it. Liu He and Yang Qiu were imprisoned and died, and his wife and relatives all migrated to the border county. Liu Na and Chen Qiu sat down to death and became concubines. This is the best of the bad.
Liu Bei wrote a letter to save the two ministers. The reputation is even more dramatic. Shilin and Tai students all recommended Liu Bei's courage and integrity. First of all, when Liu Bei was in prison, he said that he was the minister of the future pillars of the Han Dynasty. Now in the Beijing Division, all the old and important ministers talked about Liu Bei, and they all said: "Giving birth to a son should be like Liu Xuande, raise the spirit of Haoran, and be the minister of the pillars!" After this theory spread, it was quickly recognized by the students, and countless people took raising the spirit of Haoran and being a pillar of the ministers as their life goals. Gradually, Liu Bei found that he seemed to be a bit of a future leader of the clear stream.
But Liu Bei didn't care about this, he was very busy at this time. Because of his actions, Chen Qiu and Liu Na were able to escape death, and when they returned to their hometowns, they came to thank them one by one, and even the families of Liu He and Yang Qiu also came. Although the person was not saved, this is the will of God, and I still have to thank Liu Bei for his outspokenness.
But it didn't take long for Liu Bei to receive many letters of thanks, including those who guarded Chen Yu in Wujun, those who guarded Chen Cong in Ruyin, and those who guarded Chen Cong in Peixiang...... Only then did Liu Bei know how great his favor was. Chen Yu and Chen Cong are Chen Qiu's sons, and Chen Qi is Chen Qiu's own nephew, of course, these are not the most critical, the most critical thing is that in Chen Qiu's grandchildren, Liu Bei found Chen Deng's letter! , Chen Deng is Chen Qi's eldest son and Chen Qiu's nephew!
It's actually Chen Deng! That rare Chen Yuanlong, who is ambitious and heroic! In that history book, he assisted him as the lord of Xuzhou, offered Cao Cao's strategy to break Lu Bu, and broke Sun Quanjun's civil and military all-round talent Chen Yuanlong in Guangling! Chen Dengshi sat in Guangling, Sun Quan did not dare to move, and later transferred to the East County Taishou, Sun Quan crossed the river, so that Cao Cao sighed every time he was in the river: "I hate to use Chen Yuanlong's plan earlier, and let Feng Feng raise his minions." ”
Liu Bei was excited when he took Chen Deng's letter, this guy has the courage to be civil and military, and he is enough to be an important minister, but unfortunately he died young, and he died at the age of thirty-nine. Later generations said that he liked to eat raw fish and turtles in the sea so he died of illness, and I don't know if it's true or not? But it must be reminded and saved!
On this day, Liu Bei Xiumu, then and Lu Min wandered in the market, and walked around to a bookstall at this time, paper has been made for a long time, but because of the high price of high-quality paper and can not be used on a large scale. In the case of books, they are usually handwritten. Because there was no printing press yet. So books at this time were selling at a dead high price. No wonder those who can afford to read at this time are mostly rich people. However, at this time, people have gradually developed a hazy concept of printing. Thanks to the Xiping Stone Scripture, the number of people who came to copy the book was innumerable, and in order to save trouble, everyone painted it with ink and then directly rubbed it. This was the beginning of printing.
Everyone knows rubbing, and there is no reason not to know how to go to engraving printing, so why doesn't anyone do it? Later, Liu Bei thought about it for a while and found that most of the scholars in this era loved to copy books by hand. Copying books can be used to learn from the past and deepen memory. In addition, each scholar has a different teacher, there are many Confucian factions, each holding its own opinion, and the imperial court has to convene a group of Confucians to proofread the text of the Five Classics, and the private inheritance is even more chaotic. So whose is it to sell? Then the engraving and paper are very expensive. It is for various reasons that the printing market cannot develop. Businessmen are not stupid, who wants to do things that don't make money. If you don't know who you sell your book to, don't you pay for it?
As for letting the imperial court promote it, not to mention that the imperial court did not realize printing, even if it did, I am afraid that it would be more economical to engrave the book on the stone and then erect a stone. And it's better for preservation, isn't it? Whether it is a paper book, a silk book, or a bamboo book, it will be burned out in a fire. Stones can survive thousands of years without being destroyed, what could be more trouble-free and once and for all?
Note: This is also the case, even if the stone scripture was destroyed in the war later (I don't know who is so bored to embarrass these stones), but in the new century, there are still fragments handed down to the world, which are collected in the Forest of Steles Museum in Xi'an, showing its vicissitudes and style to the world. And those paper books have been burned and lost. In particular, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "Siku Quanshu" ruined countless precious books in China, which is particularly hateful and pity!
Thank you for the support of the ,,,,, brothers, and thank you for the recommendation votes of the book friends.
