Chapter 145 The arrival of angels and the disaster of eunuchs
With the arrival of the angel, the Taifu Mansion, which had been silent for almost a spring, finally began to become "lively" with the advent of summer. It seemed that the Sima family, which had missed the resurrection of everything in spring, was determined not to miss the blooming flowers in summer, even if this
Angels are not decent people, but such a regular servant is just the potential ally they need. If they don't have any desire, they can't "go with him". If they are too decent people, they can't stand Sima Yi.
The evil traitor who betrayed his master, with people like Huang Hao, the Sima family can bloom properly in the blossoming Jinguan City...
As an eunuch, Huang Hao stayed by the emperor's side every day. He was also good at having fun and pleasing the emperor, thus gaining the emperor's favor and laying the foundation for his future promotion. He was not only good at flattery, but also good at using ghosts and witchcraft to deceive Liu Chan.
This made Liu Chan trust him very much.
He was good at forming cliques, and he interacted with the imperial official Chen Zhi, interfering in the political affairs of the Shu Han Dynasty. At the same time, he was good at eliminating dissidents. As long as he did not rely on him, even the Liu family members were belittled by him or not allowed to enter the court. He was playing tricks in the court.
authority, many ministers and generals protected him,
Of course, now that General Fei Yi is still in the court, he does not dare to overtly disrupt power and govern. He only dares to do some small tricks secretly, relying on the emperor's favor and protection. As long as he does not go too far, Fei Yi will
Yi and others did not want to embarrass him too much. After all, he was a person close to the emperor. He served the emperor all day long. It was extremely easy for him to give himself eye drops and make the emperor suspect him. He wanted to kill this person with one blow.
Very difficult,
Eunuchs are physically disabled and mostly have dark hearts. If you offend such a person, he will definitely bite you and take the opportunity to cause trouble. It is not worthwhile to offend such a person over trivial matters.
Eunuchs were an important political force in ancient China. As people around the emperor, they could either become someone whom the emperor could trust or rely on, or they could be bribed by courtiers to act as their eyes and ears or give them a nice word. In short, as long as there was a struggle for power,
The existence of China is indispensable for officials to exercise power. However, the situation in each dynasty is different, and the degree of eunuchs exercising power is also different. The previous Qin and Eastern Han Dynasties both died at the hands of eunuchs.
During the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao was a very famous man. He made as much "contribution" to the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty as Zhang Liang and Xiao He. Zhao Gao's life experience is controversial. His mother was physically disabled after being executed for violating the criminal law.
He was admitted to the "Hidden Palace", where both Zhao Gao brothers were born.
When the First Emperor of Qin heard that he was diligent and proficient in law, he promoted him to the position of the emperor's chariot chief, and also asked him to teach his youngest son Hu Hai to judge cases and prisons. Because Zhao Gao was good at observing words and looks, and flattering, he was very popular.
He soon won the admiration and trust of the young master Hu Hai. Once, Zhao Gao committed a serious crime. Meng Yi did not dare to violate the law and wanted to punish him with death according to the law. Zhao Gao persuaded Qin Shihuang to pardon him and reinstate him.
It was only through this mechanism that the First Emperor took power and brought trouble to the world after his death, and "contributed" to Liu Bang.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, where Uncle Liu Huang worked before, there were more cases of eunuchs taking over power. After all, the power of the relatives was so rampant that the emperor had to seek other forces to check and balance them and regain their power, even if this ally would backfire.
.........
After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiuzhai was kind-hearted. Not only did he not kill the heroes, but he also married the heroes' sons and daughters and shared the wealth. This made Emperor Guangwu gain the reputation of a benevolent king, but the price was that the heroes and their relatives were combined.
For one thing, it caused serious political chaos among relatives.
During the reign of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, the Dou family (the family of the hero Dou Rong) was in exclusive power. The Queen Mother Dou controlled the court, and the Queen Mother Dou's brother Dou Xian led the troops outside. Because Emperor He was not the biological son of the Queen Mother Dou, and Emperor He's mother Liang Gui was Dou.
He was killed by the Queen Mother. Therefore, the Dou family was afraid of revenge when Emperor He grew up, so they prepared to abolish Emperor He.
Emperor He was only fourteen years old at that time, but he was extremely intelligent. Because the Dou family restricted the distance between Emperor He and his internal and external officials, Emperor He relied on the eunuchs in the palace to make suggestions. Zheng Zhong, the official in charge of the imperial court, was punished because he was cautious, clever, scheming and did not cling to his relatives.
Emperor He relied on Zhong. Zheng Zhong suggested that Emperor He of the Han Dynasty first issue an edict to deceive Dou Xian into the capital in the name of calling Dou Xian back to the capital to assist in politics, and then wait for an opportunity to cover up and kill him.
In the fourth year of Yongyuan (92), Emperor He ordered Dou Xian, who was leading troops abroad, to return to the capital. After receiving the edict, Dou Xian, who was usually arrogant, really thought he was going back to assist the government. He had no doubts at all and set off happily.
Returning to the capital. When Dou Xian rushed to the capital, it was getting late, and the emperor sent a decree asking him to wait until he entered the court the next day.
That night, Zheng Zhong, following Emperor He's order, secretly left the palace and ordered Ding Hong, a situ and guard officer, to seal the city gates and send troops to guard the main intersections in the city. After making arrangements, he and the imperial army in the palace separately captured Dou's cronies.
.All Dou's minions were cut off overnight. Later, Dou Xian's younger brothers Dou Du, Dou Jing, Dou Huan, etc. also had their seals confiscated and ordered to leave the capital. After arriving in the fiefdom, they were forced to commit suicide by Emperor He.
After Emperor He came into power, he worked hard to govern and create the "Prosperity of Yongyuan". However, Emperor He died young and passed away at the age of twenty-seven. The prince was young, and the influence of his relatives came back.
During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the Liang family (the family of the hero Liang Tong) was in power, and the general Liang Ji was domineering. Before, Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty stared at Liang Ji during a meeting of his ministers and said, "This is a domineering general." Liang Ji listened.
He was very angry, so he asked his attendants to add poisonous wine to the soup cakes and poison Emperor Zhi to death. After supporting Emperor Huan to the throne, Liang Ji relied on his meritorious service and became even more arrogant. Emperor Huan was very dissatisfied with this. But Emperor Zhi learned from his mistakes.
Emperor Huan did not dare to accuse openly, so he used his time in the toilet to conspire with the eunuch Tang Heng, Shan Chao, Zuo Guan, Xu Huang and Ju Yuan to kill the Liang family, and bit Shan Chao's arm with his teeth to make an alliance.
The others took Emperor Huan's edict and secretly left the palace to contact the courtiers, mobilized troops and horses, and killed the Liang family in one fell swoop.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Emperor Huan killed Liang Ji, the eunuchs Shan Chao, Zuo Guan, Xu Huang, Ju Nuan, and Tang Heng were made marquises on the same day for their meritorious service in plotting to kill Liang Ji.
, known as the "Five Marquises" in the world. Shan Chao was appointed as a general of chariots and cavalry, with the same position as the Three Dukes. The eunuch's power was out of control, and later the ten permanent attendants and their relatives died together, finally crushing the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Regarding this, Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang were very sad about the disasters caused by the eunuchs, and they were very concerned about the eunuchs' monopolization of power. This was also mentioned in the apprenticeship list. Liu Chan also recited it many times in front of his younger brother Zhuge Liang, and he had also heard it.
,
Especially this paragraph: "Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the Han Dynasty has declined." When the late emperor was still alive, whenever he discussed this matter with his ministers, he would always sigh and feel bitter.
Yu Huan, Lingye. Attendant, Shangshu, Changshi, and joined the army. This is a minister who knows Zhenliang's death. I hope your majesty will trust me, and the Han Dynasty will prosper. You can count on it in the coming days..."
She also pretended to follow the emperor and shed a lot of tears,
Therefore, Huang Hao did not dare to take any action while Zhuge Liang was still there. After all, Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were both appointed by the late emperor to assist the government. He didn't just take it, he could only continue to lie dormant and wait.
opportunity.
In May of the third year of Zhangwu (223), Liu Chan succeeded to the throne in Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of seventeen. Liu Chan gradually grew up and favored the eunuch Huang Hao. Huang Hao fawned and tried to climb up the ladder. Dong Yun was always honest.
He remonstrated with Liu Chan sternly and scolded Huang Hao many times. Huang Hao was very afraid of Dong Yun and never dared to do evil. During Dong Yun's lifetime, Huang Hao's official position was never higher than that of Huang Mencheng.
In the ninth year of Yanxi (246 years), Dong Yun, the minister in charge, passed away. Chen Zhi succeeded him as the minister in charge. He no longer excluded the eunuch Huang Hao, and became a mutual friend with Huang Hao, which gave Huang Hao the opportunity to participate in political affairs, which made him all the way.
He rose to the top and sat in the position of the Chief Attendant. After all, getting around in the palace was difficult or easy. Of course, the most important thing was to please the emperor. Huang Hao thought that no one in Shu Han could compare with him.
Pass him, he has been serving Liu Chan since he was a child, and he is very familiar with Liu Chan's preferences, so he can adapt to his preferences well...
