Chapter 143 The world is in chaos
The turmoil on March 3rd shocked the world. Although this turmoil did not pose much threat to the imperial court, the mere fact that this turmoil broke out in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was earth-shattering and shocking.
However, the imperial court still did not really realize the terror of Taiping Taoism, and still regarded it as a general cult organization. Although it ordered people to search for Taiping Taoists in various places, it did not prevent the occurrence of large-scale riots. Emperor Ling ordered Zhou Zhang to go to the third company, and the company was li In the Xiaowei Mansion, Gou Dun ordered Zhou Bin to lead the subordinates of the three prefectures, the imperial guards of the palace and the provincial people, and the people of Luoyang. Anyone who joined the Taiping Road was to be killed. In fact, more than a thousand people were killed. At the same time, he also sent an order to Jizhou to order The local officials arrested Zhang Jiao.
But this is nothing more than the emperor's wishful thinking.
The failure of the Luoyang uprising did not affect the Taiping Dao uprising. After all, March 3rd was less than two days before Jiazi Day, so the news could not reach Hebei no matter how fast it was.
So Zhang Jiaonai calmly raised the banner in Julu County according to the plan and called himself General Tiangong. Zhang Jiao's second brother Zhang Bao called himself General Digong, and his third brother Zhang Liang called himself General Renggong. Together, the three brothers launched the rebellion.
Because the Taiping Taoists all wore yellow turbans as their banners, people at that time called them "yellow turbans" and also called "moth thieves." The Taiping Taoists who revolted also called themselves the Yellow Turban Army.
At the same time, Taiping Daoists scattered all over the world also raised troops. Zhang Mancheng, the commander of the Jingzhou Canal, started in Nanyang; Bo Cai started in Yingchuan; Peng Tuo started in Runan; Bu Si started in Dongjun; Guo Daxian started in Hedong; Chen Bai started in Wujun; Wu Huan started in Kuaiji; Xu He started in Jinan; Sima Ju started in Beihai... In just one month, Taiping Taoists in seven states and twenty-eight counties started to revolt.
Wherever the Yellow Turban Army went, they burned government offices, robbed towns, cut off the heads of corrupt officials, and hung them on poles to show the public; they opened the government granaries and distributed them to the hungry people. The people cheered and abandoned their homes to join the army, even in some counties. The hungry people in the county did not wait for the Yellow Turban troops to arrive, so they organized themselves, broke into the county government offices, killed local officials, opened warehouses to release grain, and then waited for the Yellow Turban Army to come to receive it.

There are many governors and county magistrates in various places who are mediocre and weak officials. They only know how to feed the common people and collect wealth. Some of them are sincerely serving the country, and no one dares to risk their lives to defend the enemy. When they see the power of the Yellow Turban, , this group of people had long since fled for their lives. As a result, the prefectures and counties lost control, and many officials fled. Within ten months, the world responded, and the capital was shaken.
Suddenly, the whole world seemed to be in turmoil.
This yellow storm swept through the entire Han Dynasty with a power beyond the imagination of the world. And because Taiping Road was well prepared, its momentum was even greater than the Yellow Turban Uprising in history.
Although the Luoyang uprising was unsuccessful, under the current situation, its failure was insignificant. Most of the Taiping Taoists believed that they were not far away from entering Luoyang and building peace together.
The massive Taiping Dao uprising completely shocked the Luoyang court. In the court hall, letters asking for help from all over the country piled up, and the officials in the court were shocked three times a day.
The hurried Emperor Ling quickly appointed his brother-in-law Henan Yin Hejin as the general and granted him the title of Marquis Shen. He led the left and right Yulin and the fifth battalion of soldiers to station in Duting to repair equipment and control the capital. At the same time, he established Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, and Yique, Fuyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin were appointed as the eight generals to defend the capital.
Although Emperor Ling was a little confused, he finally knew that Henan Yin must be defended. If the rebel army entered Luoyang, everything would be over. As for He Jin, although his ability was average, he was his brother-in-law after all. He handed over the army to He Jin reluctantly.
Trustworthy.
At the same time, Emperor Ling also summoned the important ministers of the court to discuss how to quell the chaos.
But the scale of the Taiping Dao Uprising was beyond everyone's imagination, and no one could do anything about it. The ministers who usually liked to talk loudly were wise enough to protect themselves at this time, and they did not dare to talk nonsense.
At this time, Huangfu Song, the former governor of the Northern Territory, said: "It is better to lift the ban on the party, and it is better to hide the money in the middle, and use the stable horses in the West Garden as sergeants."

Huangfu Song shocked the world when he said these words.
The last person to request the lifting of the party ban was Cao Luan, the prefect of Yongchang eight years ago. He complained about the grievances of the imprisoned party members and asked the court to rehabilitate them. Emperor Ling was furious and ordered them to be imprisoned and tortured to death in prison. At the same time, the third time
The disaster of party imprisonment followed.
The current imperial court is experiencing the fourth disaster of party ban. The emperor wants to kill those who oppose him. To lift the party ban at this time is to stab the emperor's lungs.
Emperor Ling subconsciously wanted to put Huangfu Song in prison, but in the end he did not dare.
The reason why Huangfu Song dared to do this was because he was confident. He was not an ordinary prefect, he was the nephew of Huangfu Gui, one of the "Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou". After Duan Ying committed suicide and Tian Yan and Xia Yu were defeated, Huangfu Song had already
He became the representative figure of the Liangzhou military. And how good are the Liangzhou people in the army? The core sources of the Han army are Liangjiazi from the six counties of Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun and Xihe. Among the six counties, four
The county belongs to Liangzhou, which shows the influence of Liangzhou people in the army. The emperor relied on Duan Ying to subdue the entire Kansai nobility.ωωw..net
At this time, chaos broke out on Taiping Road, and the imperial court was counting on the people of Liangzhou to quell the chaos. How dare they touch Huangfu Song?
In the end, Emperor Ling suppressed his anger, but nothing happened to Huangfu Song.
The Yellow Turban Uprising was just the beginning, but it had already brought the prestige that Emperor Ling had established by brutally suppressing the scholar-bureaucrats over the past ten years to the bottom.
Once the golden body is broken, God is no longer God.
After Emperor Ling returned to the harem, he became even more angry when he thought of Huangfu Song's words. In Emperor Ling's view, this was a naked attempt to force the emperor into the palace, a rebellion, and a hateful act.

Emperor Ling wanted to find a solution among a group of cronies around him, but no one could come up with an idea.
At this time, Zhang Rang and others were too overwhelmed to take care of themselves and could not protect themselves. How could they give Emperor Ling any good ideas?
Two days ago, Zhang Jun, a doctor from Zhongshan, wrote: "The reason why Zhang Jiao can raise armies and cause chaos, and why all the people are so happy to follow him, is because the ten constant servants have many documents for fathers, brothers, children, relatives, and guests."
The prefectures and counties, for the sake of financial gain, invaded and plundered the people. The people's grievances were not reported, so they plotted against each other and gathered together as thieves. It is better to kill ten regular servants and go to the southern suburbs of the county head to thank the people and send envoys to inform the world. It is not necessary to travel with troops.
The big bandits will disappear."
This is directly to kill all the ten permanent servants.
Although the emperor did not reply, others were eager to give it a try and bluntly said, "As long as the ten regular servants are killed, the chaos will be settled", thus forcing the Ling Emperor.
Some people even shouted the words, "The emperor is the country and the country, why should he cherish the ten permanent servants?"
The Ling Emperor, who had always been strong, had no choice but to shout in the face of fierce discussions, "There is always one good person among the ten ministers!"
However, Zhang Rang and others were so frightened that they stripped off their hats, grabbed the ground with their heads, begged for mercy, and were imprisoned in Luoyang. They also renounced their wealth to support the military.
