Most of the eunuchs at this time did not have a good reputation in the eyes of the world.
The reason is very simple, that is, during the reign of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, the decades-long disasters caused by the party's imprisonment were all caused by eunuchs.
To put it simply, the disaster caused by party control means that in order to control the government, the eunuchs did not hesitate to exclude dissidents, tortured the scholar-bureaucrats who were dissatisfied with them, killed the upright ministers of the government, and even made those ministers and everyone related to them permanently barred from being officials.
This approach made the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had already begun to become corrupt, deteriorate even more rapidly.
It can be said that when the world was in chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs played a strong catalyst role.
So later, the old demon Zhuge used this example to admonish Adou, asking him to be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains.
It's a pity that Adou listened to Zhuge Laoyao's words in reverse and turned into a villain, a distant and wise minister.
When Zhuge Laoyao and his successors were in power, they also paid great attention to suppressing eunuchs.
When Dong Yun was in control of the Forbidden Palace, he often reprimanded Huang Hao, who was favored by Adou.
At that time, Huang Hao had never received a big official position, and he behaved like a grandson in front of Dong Yun.
What is even more regrettable is that this Adou is somewhat similar to Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. They are both men who succeeded or failed because of their ministers.
Duke Huan of Qi conquered Guan Zhong, and together with the nine princes, he unified the world and dominated the Central Plains. Later, when Guan Zhong, who assisted him, died, the state of Qi declined rapidly.
Duke Huan of Qi, the overlord of the generation, fell to the point where he died of illness and no one cared about him. His body was infested with maggots and crawled all over the house. No one could bury him.
Adou is pretty much the same.
With the support of Old Demon Zhuge, he not only quickly stabilized the Shu Han regime, which was almost destroyed due to the defeat of Jingzhou and Yiling, but was also able to pacify Nanzhong and even conduct frequent northern expeditions.
The battle at the front made the Wei State miserable, but at the rear the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Even the envoys from Soochow came to Shuhan and admired the Shu land under the rule of the old demon Zhuge.
After the death of the old demon Zhuge and his named heir, Adou completely let himself go. Although his favorite minister Chen Zhi was talented, he was too selfish. In order to consolidate his own power, he did not hesitate to collude with Huang Hao for each other.
Inside and outside.
It was from this time on that Huang Hao gradually gained power, and in the end no one could control him.
If Adou had not at least had some self-awareness and knew not to kill ministers indiscriminately, I am afraid that the Shu Han in the later period would have suffered the same fate as the eunuchs of Emperor Huan Ling.
It is a pity that Jiang Wei, the last successor of Old Demon Zhuge, only learned half of his skills. He was capable of leading troops, but he was a novice in politics.
The Nine Expeditions in the Central Plains wasted people and money, and could not be compared with the old demon Zhuge who fought wars while ensuring people's livelihood, and even completely controlled the government.
Due to Feng Tubiao's illegal crossing, history began to deviate a little. Huang Hao, who was supposed to stay in the palace, was placed in Hanzhong at this time.
At this time, Huang Hao probably had not yet been suppressed by Dong Yun, so his temper was not as tolerant as in the original history.
It happened that Feng Yong had made great achievements in the past, but he was exiled by the old demon Zhuge and put him in Hanzhong. In the eyes of people who didn't know what he was doing, it was obvious that he was not liked by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
In addition, when I first met him, he didn't even know about Jincheng selling eight oxen plows to wealthy families. If he asked if this was the prime minister's intention, you can imagine how blocked the information was.
?
The Prime Minister really wants to value him, why would he do this?
Although there is Zhao Guang by his side, Zhao Guang used to be a fool waiting to die. To be able to get to this point is considered progress.
If you follow a Zhao Tong, it will be different.
And the second son of a family like Zhao Guang doesn't have much say before he shows his talents.
As for Li Yi, in the eyes of outsiders, he came to Hanzhong as an angel to inspect the reclamation situation, and he was not the same person as Feng Yong.
Huang Hao has been in the palace for a long time, and he is not very well-informed about the news from the outside world. Old Demon Zhuge is also very thoughtful, so how can the tricks he made against Feng Yong be understood by ordinary people?
Even after arriving in Hanzhong, because most people looked down on eunuchs, Huang Hao basically had no available people, so how could he possibly get much inside information?
Combining all the circumstances, in his eyes, Feng Tubao became a fat sheep who didn't have a big foundation but knew a lot of ways to make money. Isn't he a good candidate for making money?
Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to go to the inner palace and give the queen such a big fortune? Doesn't this mean that you have lost the prime minister's heart, so you want to cling to your majesty and the queen in order to have a backer?
As for matters in the inner palace, who else in Hanzhong has more advantages than him?
So Huang Hao thought he had figured this out, so he couldn't wait to test Feng Yong.
The result of the test was very successful. Even though Feng Yong had Li Yi standing by to speak for him, he wisely gave him ten pieces of cloth.
The reason is also very upright.
Huang Jiancheng is a person from the palace, so his vision is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. Naturally, he needs to take some of these cloths back to inspect and inspect them to see if there are any flaws.
Huang Hao didn't see the cold look on Feng Yong's back after he left.
It's normal to be tricked by the old demon Zhuge. After all, he can't match his IQ or his power. Moreover, the old demon Zhuge just wanted to prevent the young hero in his eyes from wasting in the countryside, so he found a way to force himself to become the prime minister.
It’s understandable that the government is doing things.
It was understandable that he was disgusted by Wei Yan. After all, he had unintentionally tricked him into losing his position as prefect for no apparent reason. It was human nature to be angry in his heart and find himself angry.
But who is Huang Hao?
Are you trying to scare Adou just by relying on him?
Not to mention that Huang Hao has not yet reached the point where Adou can't live without him. Even if it is during the period of Huang Hao's dictatorship and Jiang Wei writes a letter asking Adou to kill Huang Hao, would Adou finally ask Huang Hao to come out and apologize to Jiang Wei?
Who calls you a eunuch?
The disaster of Party imprisonment is still fresh in our minds, so eunuchs are born with a bad reputation.
If Feng Yong really gives in, not to mention that several brothers around him will be disappointed in him, even the reputation of that smooth-talking villain will be punished from now on.
Although some people are joking about the name of clever words and seduction nowadays, people who understand well know that sometimes this title may not be without praise. After all, it is for the stability of the Han Dynasty.
But if you give in to Huang Hao, it will definitely be seen as wanting to take the eunuch path. The flatterer will be lucky enough to be promoted to the lord, and the name of the villain will be determined from then on.
"Okay, I didn't bully you, why are you angry?"
Feng Yong suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at Zhao Guang, and said lightly.
"Why didn't you bully me?" Zhao Guang almost jumped up, "What's the difference between bullying my elder brother and bullying my younger brother? Zishi, tell me, is it true or not?"
