Chapter 57: The Fallen Emperor

Cao Cao was in Luoyang as a councilor, and he was so worried that the emperor grew up and liked to eat, drink and have fun more and more. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info you eat, drink and have fun, the key is that the political affairs are not entrusted to the three dukes and nine kings of the Manchu Dynasty, but only listen to the eunuchs' confused words. After such a long time, even the most upright minister is inevitably discouraged and lazy. Anyway, the whole world belongs to your emperor, and the emperor is here, so we can deal with it casually. Cao Cao couldn't help but worry when he remembered that the court was getting worse. After he returned to the court, he performed several concerts in a row, all in response to various shortcomings. The wording was also as gentle as possible, and the eunuchs were avoided as much as possible. He just wanted to be able to correct one item and count one by one, and to be able to reverse a little bit and count a little, who would have thought that the recital would still be like a stone in the sea, and there would be no news.

Cao Cao may have started drinking heavily at this time, how can he relieve his worries? Only Du Kang. Countless depressions are knotted in his heart, but fortunately, he also has a good brother and confidant Liu Bei. He believed that Liu Bei was like-minded, similar-minded, and like-minded. So a letter with countless complaints was sent to Liu Bei through the post station.

Liu Bei received the letter and shook his head after reading Cao Cao's complaints. It seems that Liu Hong, the young emperor of literature and art, has completely evolved into a person who eats, drinks and has fun. At that time, the emperor was influenced by the great Confucian scholars, loved literature, once made his own "Huangxi Sutra" fifty articles, although the establishment of Hongdu Gate School was to do it with the ministers, but also did not want to engage in artistic creation, but also did a thing that his life is most familiar with and has the most historical value, that is, the publication of "Xiping Stone Classic". Of course, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is also very historical, but this is a negative textbook, and there is no Wei Guangzheng in "Xiping Stone Scripture". It's a pity that it's degenerated like this now, and basically doesn't care about anything but having fun. Now the emperor's recital to the ministers is the three no-principles: ignore and ignore. Then he began to be busy with his big things, engaged in construction - building palaces; Grasp the economy - sell the official ......

People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves. Liu Bei thought about it carefully, with his current strength, it was not impossible to change the situation. Just like what he said when he chatted with Cao Cao before, it really can't be done, erect a big banner to clear the king's side, remove all the eunuchs cleanly, and restore peace in the world. Can this be done? Absolutely! But what about killing? Hou Lan died with Wang Fu, Wang Fu died with Cao Jie, and after Cao Jie died, there were later Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other ten permanent servants. The eunuch is just like the poem said, "Kill me, and there will be descendants", so he will kill endlessly. The root is still in the emperor, and with an emperor who is extremely fond of eunuchs, the eunuch group will never fall. The emperor doesn't care who this eunuch is, he just needs this person to be a eunuch. So, unless the emperor is changed. Change the emperor, who would dare?

Besides, it's okay for the Qing monarch to be on the side, and it's okay to kill all the eunuchs, but this leader will definitely not end well. The emperor will definitely let the leader go to the funeral with the eunuchs. So, it's better to save your useful body and try to do something useful. What is useful? For example, now teasing his wife Lu Heng in the boudoir, Liu Bei thinks this is also a particularly interesting thing.

Liu Bei snatched Lu Heng's bronze mirror, looked at the inscription on the back, and recited the words: "The two surnames are good, the female and male saints are good, and the descendants are full of ......."

Lu Heng was on the side, he couldn't grab it, he was ashamed and annoyed, so he had to shout: "Husband, just look at it, how can you read it?" ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "In the boudoir, there are no outsiders, what are you afraid of?" Looking at Lu Hang's blushing little face, he thought that this little girl was still so easy to be shy, so he laughed again: "The children and grandchildren are full, Xian'er, when are you going to give me a bunch of dolls?" ”

The red cloud on Lu Hang's face quickly spread to his neck, glanced at Liu Bei, and said softly: "What do you still say, my mother always asks me if my stomach is moving, and I am ashamed to death." ”

Liu's mother didn't know that her son and daughter-in-law didn't have a round house, so she was eager to hug her grandson, so she asked her daughter-in-law every once in a while. Lu Heng didn't know how to deal with it.

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Xian'er, it's not that I don't want to...... You are too young, and your body has not fully grown well, and after a while, you will be a little older, which is good for fertility and good for your body. ”

Lu Xuan listened to Liu Bei's sincere words, and his heart was very sweet. Although she doesn't understand these truths, she knows that her husband is for her own good. It's just that she thinks that her husband wants her to do those shameful things every night, and she can't help but glance at him again.

Liu Bei was almost hooked by this flattering eye, so he put down the bronze mirror in his hand......

Liu Bei was busy playing and amusing his little wife in Guangyang County, and the emperor was also carrying out his vigorous reform in Luoyang.

If the most shameless emperor in history, our Han Emperor Liu Hong is not yet ranked, then the most creative and versatile emperor in history definitely has a place for our Holy Son of Heaven. His successful reform of the harem has influenced emperors thousands of years later, and many emperors have drawn spiritual nourishment from him and better grown into immoral and unscrupulous kings.

First of all, the transformation of the costumes of the beauties of the harem, one day the emperor had a whim, and held a pretty palace maid to prostitute in the imperial garden during the day, but I don't know whether it was nervous or excited, and the middle garment could not be removed. Then the emperor, who was sweating profusely and was completely disinterested, was furious, so he asked all the beauties in the harem, whether they were concubines and nobles or ordinary palace maids, to wear open crotch pants, so that he could be happy anytime and anywhere when he was interested. Many years later, Zhang Xianzhong drew inspiration from him, and the blue is better than the blue, and simply let the concubines wander in the palace without wearing their clothes......

Then a huge naked pavilion was built in the palace, on the grounds that it could escape the heat in the summer. The steps around the naked tour hall are planted with moss, and then the canal is drained to divert water, around the surroundings, the lotus flowers are planted in the canal, at night, the bright moon in the sky is a round, the ground palace lights are lit, sparkling, the breeze blows, the water vapor blows on the face. It is truly a fairyland on earth. Then the emperor took the beautiful women who were light and light, and they were in the water, or they sang and danced lightly, or they sang and danced lightly, or they sang about wine, and more often they were in high spirits, and they snapped on the boat......

In the end, I also made a flowing incense canal in the palace, and the flowing incense canal was unprecedented, I had never heard of it before, and no emperor dared to do it in the future. The water flowing in this canal is not ordinary water, it is the bath water of the palace maids, these bath water is very precious, there is the incense of the Western Regions tribute, the emperor stipulates that the beauties over fourteen years old and under the eighteen years old should be ready at any time to wash with him. After washing, the water flows to the Liuxiang Canal......

Later, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty learned the sheep cart Linxing concubine method created by him and Emperor Yang of Sui learned the arbitrary cart method he created, both of which were pediatrics.

If the great poet Li Bai was born in this era, the emperor would definitely be a confidant and would definitely reuse him. Why? Because Li Bai said that life must be happy, the emperor is such a mentality, he can't wait to play like this every day, if you want to add a deadline to this fun, the emperor will immediately say three words without hesitation: 10,000 years!

In addition to the harem reform, there is another business that he has been secretly carrying out for a long time, that is, selling officials. It may be that the experience of being too poor when he was a child made the emperor have a natural possessiveness for money, even if he became the supreme in the world, even if he was the master of the four seas, it was still like this, which was rare. Maybe it's because you feel that the money in the treasury doesn't belong to you and is too little. So the emperor thought about making his own private money quickly. It was okay earlier, but it was only sold secretly, for fear of being opposed by the ministers. Now as his authority is gradually fixed, the business is getting bigger and bigger, so he simply loses face and sells it at a clear price. How much is an official of 2,000 stones, how much is an official of 1,000 stones, how much is a county order, how much is a poor county, how much is a rich county......

As long as you can afford the price, you can't sell it except for the emperor's position, and you can do whatever you want. The emperor messed around like this, in addition to causing dissatisfaction among the world and the ministers, the conscience of the eunuchs, Lu Qiang and Lu Changzhi couldn't stand it, and persuaded the emperor to say don't do this, the whole world is yours and still do this, isn't it a joke? If you do this, how can the people below select talents to govern the world for you?

The emperor still went his own way and ignored it. There is a lot of discussion in the world, and the people's grievances are boiling, and he treats them as if they are nothing. Sometimes Liu Bei wonders, who sent the undercover agent from the emperor? Otherwise, how can he explain that he wants to toss the Han Empire like this? How to come to the loser, how to slack off, how to degenerate!

The court is like this, the emperor is like this, and after the hard persuasion is ineffective, many people can't help but be disheartened. Liu Bei's father-in-law, Lu Zhi, vaguely expressed this meaning to Liu Bei in a recent letter, he has the ambition to help the world, and he has the talent to be full, but the emperor does not need it. He retreated to the second, wanting to be a doctor of scriptures, delving into knowledge or going to study history, but the emperor also pushed back, either refused, or said that this was not an urgent matter, and now let him hang the name of a scholar, but he can't handle any government affairs, and he has to stay in the court every day to be angry with eunuchs, so it is better to hang the crown and go.

Liu Bei was also speechless for a while, his father-in-law was in the prime of life, and when he was in the prime of life and strong in his career, the emperor was able to force him to retreat from the rivers and lakes, which shows how strange the emperor is. Liu Bei thought about it, this won't work, or persuade the old man, so he wrote a letter and sent it to Lu Zhi, asking him not to be too anxious, the eunuch is fierce, but after all, the middle of the day is bright, the moon is full and the moon is lost, there are no flowers that flourish forever, just wait for changes, seize the opportunity, and give the traitors a hard blow. If everyone wants to retreat to the rivers and lakes and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests because of the crisis, then who can the world rely on?

Only in the most dangerous and difficult moments, we still maintain our original intentions and original ideals, we will win, and we will be the true loyal servants of the Han Dynasty. The reason why we insist on staying is not for the emperor, not for the Liu family, but for the people of the world and the suffering Li people......

A letter, sincere and sincere, finally dispelled Lu Zhi's negative thoughts.

In the summer and April of the fourth year of Guanghe, the prince's association was born, and the emperor was overjoyed and ordered an amnesty to the world.
