In the Weiyang Palace, the emperor listened to Hou Lan's report, but his expression was uncertain.
"Oh, how can my nephew be so capable that he dares to assassinate the prime minister of a country? How ridiculous!"
"Previously, he said that the five princes were disrupting the government. He didn't remember how the five princes eliminated the rebels and returned the government to me. In the past, the rebels had power in the government and the public. Can any of these pillars of the country dare to make strong orders? Today, Why are there so many of them? Hou Lan, am I no more powerful than thieves?"
Hou Lan lowered his head and said nothing. He also knew in his heart that the traitor was talking about General Liang Yi. Liang's concubine had great power and brought trouble to the court. It was the five princes, that is, the five eunuchs, who got rid of the general. The people are all celebrating, but today's officials don't take the emperor seriously at all, ignore the emperor's orders, act arbitrarily, and even use confrontation with the emperor as a way to gain fame!
Some celebrities refused to be appointed or recruited, and they were proud of it. Some officials made a fuss and killed the powerful and powerful at will. This was not a big deal in the first place. The emperor also disliked the powerful and powerful from the bottom of his heart. But, wrong What's wrong is that after the emperor declared that his lofty sentiments were not guilty, they still wanted to kill them, and they were even praised by people all over the world. Doesn't this mean that the emperor was blind and did not know good and evil?
"The country, what Yuan Wei and the others are suing is not about the young prince and the prince assassinating the chief. No matter how you put it, Yuan Wei is not guilty of insulting the prince's mother and killing her. However, he is suing for great disrespect. Although the prince and prince are noble, they are not guilty. The descendants of the country's clan are only pavilion princes. Although they are noble, they are white. According to Han law, powerful people are not allowed to get involved in politics or bully officials..."
"Involved in politics and bullying officials?? My nephew is only eighty or nine years old!!" Liu Zhi was furious. Judging from their appearance alone, Liu Zhi is somewhat similar to Liu Hong. They are slightly fatter in stature and have a fair complexion with less beard. However, the fatter one is smaller than Liu Hong. Looking at him, he still lacks some momentum.
"The country calms down!" Hou Lan leaned down and prostrated, and whispered: "The country knows the age of Marquis Jiedu Ting, the slaves also know it, and the people of Hejian must also know it. However, the outside world will not say that he is nine years old. The Marquis of Jiedu Ting disrespects the governor, he said, "The grandson of the emperor, Marquis Jiedu Ting, is arrogant and domineering and disrespects the governor!" In today's world where news is congested and public opinion is controlled by aristocratic families, whatever the aristocratic families say is what they say.
The people are illiterate, books and teaching materials are all in the hands of aristocratic families, and all the students from the Imperial Academy are descendants of aristocratic families!
Even though he was born in a poor family, he could become famous only by taking the name of a great scholar from a famous family.
He Xiu, the son of He Bao, He Bao once served as the Shaofu among the Nine Qings. Ma Rong was born in the Ma family of Fufeng, and was the grandson of General Fubo Ma Yuanzhi. As for the others, there is one person among the Eight Talents and Eight Gu who is a model in the world. Born into a poor family?
Dou Wu, Liu Shu, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Xun Yu, Du Mi, Wang Chang, Liu You, Wei Lang, Zhao Dian, Zhu Yu, Guo Linzong, Zong Ci, Basu, Xia Fu, Fan Pang, Yin Xun, Cai Yan, Yang Bu, Zhang Jian, Cen Hao, Liu Biao, Chen Xiang, Kong Yu, Yuan Kang, Tan Fu, Zhai Chao, Du Shang, Zhang Miao, Wang Kao, Liu Ru, Hu Muban, Qin Zhou, Fan Xiang , Wang Zhang, these people are all talented people nowadays, and the world respects them a lot, but is there any one of them who comes from a poor family?
The Xun family belongs to one family, the Yuan family belongs to another family, the Sima family belongs to another family, the Yang family belongs to another family, and the Chen family belongs to another family. Many famous officials and officials are from these families, and there is not even a famous scholar from a poor family!
The imperial students of the Western Han Dynasty were more like the enthusiastic college students of later generations, with their hearts full of enthusiasm. The imperial students of the Eastern Han Dynasty... let alone mentioning it, it was the imperial students of the Eastern Han Dynasty who started the trend of political discussion. They were the first batch Famous scholars who did nothing but chatted and regarded this as their own glory. After a hundred years, they became models for the world. Scholars sat down to discuss, talked about heaven and earth, and discussed scriptures and essays.
But while they were talking loudly about the past and the present, the territory in the north had long been lost, and millions of people were weeping with blood!
Although the current Tai students have not yet reached the level of excellence that they will be a hundred years from now, their lives are just taking pills during the day and drinking at night. They are self-indulgent. The Tai students sway their bodies and sit in the attic, half-drunk.
They carry the Han law: "It is forbidden to drink together."
Liu Zhi is not highly regarded in history books, and is often said to be a villain close to him and a wise minister far away. However, it was this emperor who succeeded to the throne at a young age and got rid of the domineering general Liang Ji. It was this emperor who also mobilized the five princes and several important officials.
The emperor was already 34 years old, but he had no heirs.
It is often mentioned in the Qing Dynasty of the Imperial College students that if the superiors are immoral and God punishes them, why don’t you see that they will be punished?
I just heard that the emperor was so angry that he almost wanted to bloodbath the Taiyuan Academy. However, all the officials stopped him and wrote a letter in tears, saying that the ancestors have ordered that if the university students are not guilty of their words, it is not false to argue with them. The entire Han Dynasty will not
There are only two types of people who are blamed for their speech. One is the illiterate peasants. The Han Dynasty values the peasants very highly and is quite tolerant. Taxes have always been relatively low. The second type is the imperial students.
The emperor was also unlucky. He couldn't cause trouble for the imperial students, so he could only cause trouble for the officials. Among the officials, there were eunuchs and aristocratic families. Generally speaking, the aristocratic family was more powerful. From time to time, some of the officials wrote letters.
, demanding the execution of the eunuchs headed by the five princes, the emperor did not want to pay attention to it, but the result was that there was a vigorous blockade of the palace gates by the imperial students. These imperial students could not be beaten or injured!
The emperor saw that he was helpless. It happened that Zuo Guan, Xu Huang, Ju Yuan, and Tang Heng gradually became more powerful and did not respect the emperor's orders. The emperor directly executed the four princes and decentralized the new eunuch party headed by Hou Lan. However, Hou Lan
The honeymoon period with those aristocratic families had just ended, and the aristocratic families pointed their arrows at Hou Lan. Perhaps in their view, the emperor only needed to decentralize power and govern by doing nothing, in order to achieve great unity in the world.
This time, the emperor refused to agree to anything. The Baiguan family began to trouble Hou Lan. The powerful and powerful people in Xiaohuang sects from all over the country who were close to the eunuchs were often exterminated by their families. The emperor ordered his release, but it was in vain. The emperor
So they arrested two people at once and rang the bell for the family. Who knew that these party members would now use the incident of a child to put pressure on the emperor again.
Age didn't matter. The party members only needed to use the name of the emperor's relatives to disrespect the governor and bring trouble to the country to persuade the imperial students. Moreover, the imperial students were headed by the general Taifu, and the emperor was even more furious.
Hou Lan had an idea in his mind. He looked around and said in a low voice: "The country, why don't you find Marquis Ting and let the people of Luoyang see what this Marquis Ting is like and how old he is, so that you can expose the scholar's false appearance.
If we accept Li Ying again in the name of discussing the imperial family, the party will have no leader at that time and will no longer be able to cause trouble!" Liu Zhi was speechless, looking down at the bamboo slips in his hand, with veins on his forehead rising.
"I am the Son of Heaven, but my party members have gone too far to bully me. They even plot against my young nephew. These officials! What is the use of them? What is the use of them!!!"
"Hou Lan!!"
Liu Zhi shouted, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He gave in again and again. Do these guys really think that the Emperor of Han Dynasty was invincible? Okay, let me show you what it means to be angry when the emperor is angry.
The world is pure!
"Country!" Hou Lan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"According to my decree, Li Ying and other hundreds of officials raised the imperial scholars, made friends with students from various counties, and even drove each other to form a party. They slandered the court, disturbed the customs, and had no courtesy and no courtesy at all. With the style of a doctor, Erbei Temple Prison was ordered to immediately arrest party members and form a private party. This is a big case and no one thief can be escaped!" Liu Zhi shouted angrily, and Hou Lan was stunned immediately. .
As an eunuch, he did not deal with these scholar-bureaucrats, and often called them party members in private, with the intention of forming a party for personal gain. However, this was the first time that he publicly called them party members. What's more, the emperor's actions were really If you are too hot, you are not allowed to let go of a thief. What does that mean? Countless officials are involved, celebrities all over the world, and even imperial students will probably not be able to escape the crime!
When he thought of it, Hou Lan trembled with excitement. The era of eunuchs had finally arrived!
