Chapter 467: Nanshi Public Trial (4)
Eunuchs, a special group of people, a group of people who have lost some of the innate abilities of men. In the long history of China, it can be said that it is a group of strange existences.
Originally, they were only men in the court who served the royal family and castrated their external genitalia, and according to the regulations of previous dynasties, they were slaves in charge of court chores and were not allowed to participate in state affairs.
However, because of the fact that those strange beings get along with the royal family day and night, it is often easy to win trust or have an opportunity, so in some dynasties, there are eunuchs who control the power of state affairs.
When he heard that the person Fan Wen relied on was actually a eunuch in the palace at this time, Liu Xing's heart was angry. This anger comes from Liu Xing's extremely deep impression of the disaster of the eunuchs.
And what that group of people does, in Liu Xing's opinion, there is no need to use such a group of psychopaths and disgusting guys, just find some palace maids and female guards to do it.
Let them do things, but often give them opportunities to take advantage of, let that group of guys who are neither men nor women, nondescript, and not ghosts frequently perform a farce in the dynasties, such things Liu Xing is not allowed to appear in the era under his control, and is not allowed to appear in the court he dominates.
Even if there is a little chance, Liu Xing doesn't want to leave it to them.
So when Fan Wen's words were finished, Liu Xing turned around and quickly took out a pen and paper from Liang Xing's sleeve and wrote down another big decision that was enough to shock the world. Then hand it to Liang Xing and let him go on stage to read it out in public.
Liu Xing resented and hated the eunuchs, so why did the people cheer too? The answer, Liu Xing has made it very clear in that clear message.
Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan. Originally in the early period of the former dynasty. The eunuch is not a profession that has been professionally done by a person who has abolished the basic functions of men. Because in the era of Qin Shi Huang and his father. There is a eunuch named Chang Yu, who can have a son with Qin Shihuang and his mother, Zhao Ji.
It is precisely because of the incident that Qin Shi Huang has established a dead rule since he grasped the power of the state, and anyone who serves as an internal servant in the future can only be filled by those who have no remaining ability and have been abolished from the basic skills of men.
If you want to say that this Qin Shi Huang is also interesting, his own father was put on a big green hat by a guy whose official position was called a eunuch at the time, and the eunuch also called himself "stepfather". After all, it was a matter of the previous generation, and there is a way that if you don't check your mother's adultery, forget it in the past.
But when it came to himself, it was still difficult to escape the harm of eunuchs and eunuchs. Who are the people who hurt him? That person is Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao is a eunuch. That Zhao Gao was originally a child of the estranged clan of Zhao State. The family went into exile in the Qin state.
His mother, whose body was crippled after being executed for violating the criminal law, was placed in the Qin Dynasty's government to work as a special hidden official for the reception of people released from prison, and Zhao Gao and his brother were born in the hidden palace. And within a few years of his birth, because he was a sinner's cousin, he was also castrated and turned into a waste.
Later, by chance, and Zhao Gao was indeed very hard working when he was young. His diligence and his mastery of the law were heard by Qin Shi Huang, so he promoted him to be the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture Emperor Cheyu, and asked him to teach his young son Hu Hai to judge the case and break the prison.
Zhao Gao can be said to be a natural traitor, he is extremely good at observing words and colors, and flattering each other, so he quickly won the appreciation and trust of Qin Shi Huang and his son Hu Hai.
Once, Zhao Gao committed a felony. The general Meng Yi did not dare to be a law, and he was to be sentenced to death according to the law. Zhao Gao's clever words confused Qin Shi Huang, and finally caused Qin Shi Huang to pardon him and restore him to his original position.
But Qin Shi Huang's generation of emperors and the heroes of the six countries did not expect that this favored minister who was "sensitive" in his eyes would become the culprit of ruining the Great Qin in the future.
The change of sand dunes was the peak moment when Zhao Gao really reached the pinnacle of power and became the first person in Chinese history to be truly hated. There, he used the so-called "elixir" to give Qin Shi Huang a ride, so that a generation of heroes could speed up the speed of reporting to the capital city.
As soon as Qin Shi Huang died, the first emperor originally determined that the edict of the crown prince was on Zhao Hao. A eunuch and a traitor, after colluding with Li Si, he replaced the prince of Fusu, who should inherit the throne and was recognized as a good emperor in the future, with Hu Hai, who was a prodigal son and only knew wine and did not know the government.
As a result, the real imperial power at the end of Qin fell into the hands of the eunuch Zhao Gao and the traitor Li Si. As a result, the law and politics, which were already very tyrannical in the original Qin Shi Huang era, became more cruel and tyrannical. As a result, the waves of opposition to the tyrannical Qin in the world rose higher and higher, and finally slapped the former waves of the Great Qin Dynasty to death on the beach of the ocean of history......
After Zhao Gao, the Eastern Han Dynasty made a concession.
Zhang Rang worked in the court when he was a teenager, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was the little yellow gate. Zhao Zhong participated in the killing of Liang Jigong and the marquis of Fengdu, and later deposed him as the marquis of Guannei, and rented a thousand yuan in this county. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was promoted to the rank of Zhongchang with Zhao Zhong and was named a liehou.
If you want to say that Zhang Rang was also a thief, it stands to reason that any money and beauty should have little to do with him.
However, Zhang Rang is a greedy person for money and profit, and he is an insatiable person. He first worked with Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others inside and outside to get power and make trouble. After Cao Jie's death, Zhao Zhong concurrently served as the Great Changqiu, and Zhang Rang also took advantage of the situation to seize greater power.
Zhang Rang had a prison slave in charge of housework, colluded with the powerful, accepted bribes, and had a great reputation. There was a man in Fufeng County named Meng Tuo, who was a very rich man, who became friends with Zhang Rang's prison slaves, and gave everything he had to the prison slaves, leaving nothing of what he loved.
The prison slave thanked him and asked Meng Tuo, "What do you want?" I've got you covered. ”
Meng Tuo said: "I just want you to worship me." ”
At that time, the guests who asked to see Zhang Rang often had hundreds or thousands of cars parked in front of the door. Meng Tuo also went to see Zhang Rang at that time, because he arrived late and could not go in, so the prison slaves led the slaves to greet Meng Tuo on the road, and carried his car into the door together.
The guests were amazed, thinking that Meng Tuo and Zhang Rang were very good, and they were all vying to bribe him with Jumbo Odds. Meng Tuo gave some to Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang was overjoyed, and let Meng Tuo be the assassin of Liangzhou.
At this time, Zhang Rang and a group of 12 people in total were eunuchs, but they were all serving as middle and regular servants, marquis and nobles, and fathers, sons and brothers were distributed in states and counties as officials, corrupt and brutal, and were a scourge to the people.
Later, a fire broke out in the palace, but the cause of the fire was unknown. But Liu Xing felt that no matter how he looked at it, it looked like the one that made their group of eunuchs ghost.
Why? Because what happened next was a kind of circumstantial evidence, circumstantial evidence that Zhang Rang and others took the opportunity to make money.
After the fire in the palace, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others persuaded Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to order the collection of ten yuan per mu of land tax for the construction of the palace. The timber and patterned stones of Taiyuan, Hedong, and Didao counties were requisitioned, and these things were sent to Jingshi whenever the prefectures and counties were dispatched.
The Yellow Gate attendants always ordered to condemn and reprimand those who did not meet the standards for transporting wood and stone, and forcibly bought them at a discounted and low price, and only gave a cent for ten out of ten. He sold it to the eunuchs, who did not accept it immediately.
As a result, the wood piled up and decayed, and the palace could not be repaired for many years. The assassin and the Taishou privately increased the number of requisitions, and the people sighed and suffered unspeakably. (To be continued.) )
