Chapter 476: Cellmates
Emperor Ling's mouth sent Liu Lan into the edict prison was not the edict of Luoyang under the order of Luoyang, but the Huangmen North Temple Prison mainly to oppose the eunuch dictatorship as the object of imprisonment, Huangmen North Temple Prison is located in the palace prison, the prison interrogation, supervision are all by the eunuchs are responsible, often non-torture and killing of prisoners, at that time the North Temple Prison can be said to be a nightmare for the scholar class.
Most of the scholars and doctors who were sent to Beisi Prison were eunuchs or instigated the emperor to directly issue an edict to arrest them, so as to avoid the review and review of foreign officials, but it was really the first time that Liu Lan had been arrested like this.
Compared with the relatives who controlled the Luoyang Imperial Prison, the Huangmen Beisi Prison can be regarded as a political tool that the eunuchs can directly suppress their opponents, and the so-called 'Yellow Gate' originally meant a forbidden door in the court. The so-called "where the forbidden door is yellow, so it is called the yellow door." That's what it means.
&nb-,a≧nshu∷ba.sp; The North Temple Prison of the Yellow Gate belongs to the Yellow Gate Department. For example, the office of the Yellow Gate Order and Cheng within the palace ban is the "Yellow Gate Department", with a director, a rank of 400 stones, and a yellow ribbon. Therefore, the Yellow Gate Department is also known as the Yellow Gate Temple. There are Huangmen Temple in the north and south palaces of Luoyang, and the reason why it is set up in the north temple is closely related to the emperor's residence in the north palace at that time. The three emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zishun, Chong and Qian, were stationed in the South Palace, and they all died in the front hall of the South Palace Jade Hall. Emperor Huan entered the South Palace in the first year of this year (146 AD) and soon moved to the North Palace. In the second year of Jianhe (A.D. 148), in May, 'the Deyang Hall in the North Palace and the Zuoye Gate were fired, and the car moved to the South Palace'. But only after the year, he returned to the North Palace until his death. In this way, the queen's concubines and many eunuchs and palace maids, the officials who sent and received the edicts and the palace guards naturally migrated north. Therefore, in the reign of Emperor Huan, the North Palace was the location of the central authority and the center of the imperial court's political activities. This is the main reason why the prison of the Huangmen Government Office is located in the North Temple.
The scale of the Beisi Prison is considerable, and it played an important role especially during the two 'Disasters of the Party'. A large number of party members in the world were imprisoned. The most famous one is Li Ying, the former captain of Sili, but Liu Lan didn't feel the supreme glory of being locked up in a prison with a famous historical minister. At this moment, there is only deep remorse, but what is the use of remorse now, it is really indefensible, but fortunately, it is not immediately executed, maybe there is still room for maneuver, and when he entered the prison, the chief of the eunuchs was immediately stupid when he asked the name of the prisoner, and even Liu Lan himself wondered what was wrong with them.
However, with the transfer procedures in place, something happened that made Liu Lan even more puzzled. Especially after the guards left, Liu Lan immediately changed from the previous prisoner who was tied up with flowers to a guest, he couldn't understand, no one could understand, but what he didn't know was that when he heard that the person in custody was Liu Lan, a Zhong Juan had already quietly left, and soon after, this Zhong Juan, who was in charge at a glance, came to Liu Lan, who was not imprisoned, and whispered: "Zhao Changshou is already thinking of a way, Liu Xianjun must not be reckless." Especially your subordinates, if you have anything to say, I will go and tell you, and you can stay in Beisi Prison for a few days. ”
Liu Lan is no longer surprised. If nothing else, this Zhao Changshou is Zhao Zhong, this person has helped him a lot, but Liu Lan wants to break his head and doesn't know when he has such a friendship with him. But now that everyone has let go, he can only do it. Tell the old brothers not to be impulsive, especially Zhang Fei. Now there is still a chance to live, if Zhang Fei and the others make trouble, it is estimated that death will not be far away.
The eunuchs arranged Liu Lan into the prison, and the cells where the relationship lived were the same as the hotels, but they were a little dark and damp, but what Liu Lan didn't expect was that there was a neighbor next to him, but the treatment was not as good as Liu Lan, but this is also fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, who knows which of the two in the end is the one who laughs the best.
This neighbor is also forty or fifty years old, there is no way, he has been in prison for too long, and the bearded person is also haggard, and his age is difficult to estimate, but when he saw Liu Lan's prison with a desk, his pen and paper eyes were straight, and he said through the prison: "Boy, why did you come in?" ”
Liu Lan didn't speak, but the old man was chattering like a chatterbox, chattering, too, he didn't know how long he had been in prison, and finally someone who could talk to someone could not be happy, as if he had never spoken in his life, chattering non-stop, Liu Lan couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "Are you annoyed?" ”
Not annoying, not annoying, not annoying at all. Although the old man giggled, but it was like he was happy because Liu Lan finally responded to him, how could he be annoyed, Liu Lan muttered a word of bad luck and ignored him, but his ears never stopped, and he had the heart to call the jailer, think about it after all, he is an old man, not to mention that he is still a crazy old man, it is estimated that it will be a quarter of an hour after sitting dry, and there was a sound from the prison, and the old man was quiet all of a sudden, and his body was called vigorous, and he retreated to the corner, It's just that while covering his head, he left a gap to peek in Liu Lan's direction, and when he found that the jailer had sent Liu Lan wine and meat, all the harazi flowed out, until the post guard left, the old man licked his lips and said, "Boy, the old man hasn't known the smell of wine for a long time, give the old man a bottle to drink?" ”
"Who do you think you are?"
"Who is the old man? Speaking out scares you to death. ”
He was originally Liu Lan's neighbor, and there were a few arm-thick wooden stakes in the middle, and at this moment he poked his hand into Liu Lan's cell, and kept swinging, but when he heard Liu Lan say disdainfully what kind of person you are, the old man suddenly came to his senses, brushed back his hand, his back was not hunched, and his eyes were also bright, and he said loudly: "I am the ...... of Yuzhou Thorn History."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Lan handed over a bottle of wine and looked at him with sympathetic eyes: "Now that there is no history of assassination, I have long been changed to a state pastor." ”
"What?" The old man's hand holding the wine bottle trembled violently, and he spilled a lot of wine, feeling a pity in his heart, and hurriedly drank all the wine in the bottle, and then handed it back to Liu Lan and said, "Good wine will come to the bottle again." ”
"That's it, it's gone."
The old man looked at it with a blank eye, Liu Lan took a drink by himself, how could he be in the mood to drink with a stomach full of bad luck now, seeing the old man's expectant eyes, although he was angry in his heart and wanted to suppress it, he still vented unconsciously: "Drink, drink, you can take it and drink it." ”
The tone was very stiff, but the old man was not surprised, he was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, scooped the wine that Liu Lan brought over and drank it, until he was full, he burped and said, "Boy, why did you come in with a sigh?" ”
"What about you?"
"Well, it's hard to put into words."
Liu Lan is ashamed to say to others, if he says that he is embarrassed because of what he is in the prison, isn't it just to touch the tiger's buttocks, just looking at the old man's reaction, it seems that there is really something difficult, think about it carefully, what kind of place is this, Beisi Prison, the prisoners in prison can be the same as Luoyang Prison, a spirit, and hurriedly asked: "Are you really Yuzhou Thorn History?" ”
"Exactly, now I know who the old man is." The old man was very arrogant and said that the one who could be imprisoned in the North Temple Prison must be a scholar or a well-known scholar, with his reputation, as long as he said his position, no one in the world would not be able to guess his identity, but to the disappointment of the old man, the person in front of him would never know who he was.
Seeing the young man shaking his head, the old man immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and suddenly became excited: "You don't know who the old man is?" ”
"I don't know, do you want the old gentleman to tell me?"
The old man stomped his feet angrily, spun around in place, and muttered that he didn't know who the old man was, could it be that the old man had been locked up for too long, and the people in the world had forgotten the old man, and looked at Liu Lan with a red face and said: "The old man is Wang Taiyuan, Wang Zuozhicai, now you know who the old man is." ”
It's just that the old man was disappointed again, the young man still shook his head, and the old man seemed to fall apart all of a sudden, paralyzed, and almost covered his face and cried bitterly, and then as if he was resigned to his fate, his voice sounded like he was about to die: "The old man is Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, and you don't know if you say it." ”
"Wang Yun? Know, how could not know. ”
This time, both of them jumped up, can this Wang Yun Liu Lan not know that Diao Chan's stepfather, the one who killed Cai Yong, is now locked up with him and has become a cellmate?
Liu Lan was excited, Wang Yun was even more excited, a handful of snot and tears, the people of the world have not forgotten the old man, have not forgotten the old man.
"Wang Tingshi, why are you here?" Liu Lan waited until the old gentleman had finished venting before asking.
"Ugh." Wang Yun sighed, the cause of this incident can be traced back to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, at that time Wang Yun was appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou because of his prestige status, and leading troops to quell the rebellion is not the point, the point is that he and the left Zhonglang general Huangfu Song, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun jointly surrendered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban rebel army, found a letter written by the Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang guest, the letter involved some content related to the Yellow Turban Army.
Wang Yun, who was loyal to the Han family, didn't care about Zhang Rang at this time, so he further investigated, and wanted to expose the collusion between the powerful eunuch Zhang Rang and the Yellow Turban.
This is a capital crime to kill him, how can Zhang Rang admit it, and in the heart of Emperor Ling, Zhang Rang is a confidant, even if he sees these details of revealing Zhang Rang, he still does not fully believe it, and Zhang Rang is the trust of Emperor Lingdi in him, and he flatly denies his crime, and once again leads to this must be the slander that the scholar class has been slandering these servants loyal to the Son of Heaven, and they are framing them because of jealousy.
Because of Emperor Ling's trust, Zhang Rang escaped the death penalty and was not even punished, which shows Emperor Ling's trust in him. (To be continued......)
