Early morning of the second day, Zhang Yu carried the few Recital s and several Liang Zhou's military intelligence reports that Xin Ping had placed on the table and rushed into the palace. It had to be said that Zhang Jean was still a very dutiful eunuch, but he often liked to do things beyond his duty.
Hanling Emperor Liu Hong did not come to court everyday, if there were no important matters, or things like the celebration of the imperial court, he would be too lazy to listen to the ministers talk about it.
He was not very old, but he was an emperor in his prime. Not only was he unwilling to rule the country, but he was also unscrupulous. When eunuchs ruled the government, many civil and military ministers did evil deeds. As a result, the country was in a state of luxury. Just like this, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong enjoyed this short life and the sadness of the coming apocalypse. He was immersed in the joy of amassing wealth and the allure of allure, and forgot about his responsibilities and dignity as an emperor. Under the guidance of the powerful officials around him, in the midst of pleasure and greed, he had forgotten about the magnificent foundation that had sprung up for four hundred years in Darkhan Dynasty.
The moment Zhang Yang walked into the palace, he saw the imperial court eunuch, Li Shi, hurriedly run over, and hurriedly say to Zhang Ren: "Chief Steward, the emperor has a bad temper, he was currently angered because of the defeat of the Liang Zhou's troops, he sent people to call for Grand General Ho Jin early in the morning."
Zhang Jean waved his hand, indicating that he already knew, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall. He had to convey his meaning to the emperor and become his consciousness before He Jin arrived.
But today, he was still a step too late. He had just bowed to Hanling Emperor, but before he could even speak, Grand General Ho Jin had already came in. He couldn't help but feel depressed as he thought about how to deal with the situation.
"Your Majesty, the defeat of the Liang Zhou was caused by Geng Bi underestimating her enemies. It has nothing to do with Grand Commandant Zhang Wen. With the current strategy, it is better to let Zhang Wen prepare his troops for battle, and wait for the opportunity to pacify Han Sui. "
The reason why Grand General Ho Jin was so arrogant and domineering was because he had the military power. He controlled the army, and the generals in the army only had He Jin as their leader. He also took these generals with him as his trusted followers. They had the same enemy, the eunuchs.
Although the Eunuch had great authority, they relied entirely on the Emperor's favors. Once he lost the emperor's support, even the biggest eunuch would be nothing. The several massacres of eunuchs that occurred in the Eastern Han were all planned out by the Scholars and the generals, because the Eunuch did not have any military power.
"Your Majesty, Great General's words are wrong. Even if Geng Bi underestimated his enemy, Zhang Wen would still allow him to do so. It has already been three years since Zhang Wen led the troops to steal from them, but the thieves are getting stronger and stronger.
Zhang Jun did not give He Jin any face at all, as long as he had the chance, he would attack these Clear Stream Ministers. The majority of the eunuchs came from the commoner class. They could only rely on the big landlords of the Shu Clan and the new big landlords, and the ones who opposed the eunuchs the most were the big noble landlords and the big Scholars landlords.
The entire feudal era was the era of the big landlords. Landlords had levels as well, the highest being the noble landlords, followed by the Scholars landlords, then the Shu race landlords, and the new generation landlords. The Eunuch was mainly obstructing the revival of the noble and Scholars landlords, competing with them for power and profits.
For a moment, the two of them couldn't convince anyone because of whether or not Zhang Wen had fought before. Neither of them gave in to the other.
This was the life of the Hanling Emperor's Emperor. On one side was his wife, and on the other was a eunuch.
Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was lucky to be able to ascend to the throne. Although Emperor Huan, Liu Zhi, had died at the age of thirty-six, she had no children behind him. The young Empress Dou and her father, Dou Wu, had set the age of their successor at the youth level. Liu Hong was the Xuan Sun of Emperor Han Zhang, Liu Hong's great-grandfather was the River King Liu Kai, his father was the cousin of Duke Ting, Liu Ying, and Emperor Huan, Liu Zhi. Liu Hong was the nephew of Emperor Huan, he was only twelve years old at the time.
It was unfortunate that Liu Hong was able to become emperor. What Hanhuan Emperor had left behind was a society riddled with holes. The eunuchs coveted the imperial power, and the cries of the soldiers and the voices of the hungry filled the air as they sang a sad song of the apocalypse.
The Eastern Han regime was actually established with the support of the A powerful landowner. However, unlike the other founding emperors, the Effulgence Emperor did not kill or suppress the founders of the empire. Instead, he treated them courteously, and saved most of their lives, treatment, and status. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became a strong idea that marriage should be done in the right places. Thus, the emperors were mostly married to the generals and the families of the generational Gongqing clan. They had a certain social status, and when their daughters and sisters and even their aunts became concubines, especially empress or empress, by virtue of this kind of relationship, they would receive more favors and gain more power and status. In addition, the empress dowager would usually summon her parents and brothers to enter the imperial government and wield military power in order to consolidate her position. In order to stay in power for a long time, the people in power in the outer sect had to do everything they could to control and rope the emperor in. supporting the young emperor as their leader was a very good way, and Hanling Emperor was their little emperor.
The eunuch, on the other hand, came from the bottom of society and had no culture whatsoever. Once in power, however, eunuchs began to annex the land and rise to the rank of landowner. Although eunuchs weren't all bad people, the politics of eunuchs must be dark. This is because: first, eunuchs are subjected to corruption, have a perverted temperament, and have a hostile attitude towards society and normal people; secondly, eunuchs have no descendants and are therefore not subject to the slightest restriction of moral ideas; thirdly, eunuchs are born of low status, are illiterate and uncultured; fourthly, eunuchs only know how to welcome the future, flatter it, and flatter it without any political experience.
Liu Hong impatiently sat on the throne of the Emperor. He had wanted He Jin to negotiate with him about the Liang Zhou's rebellion, but he didn't expect the two of them to start a fight. The unhappiness was written all over his face.
"Don't argue. Zhang Wen did not have much strength left in him, since he had my request, I have decided to depose Zhang Wen. Who do you guys think can replace Zhang Wen as Grand Commandant? "
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the Grand Commandant, Situ and Sikong as the three officials, with the power of three equal prime ministers. The Grand Commandant was the leader of the three. He was in charge of military affairs, Situ was in charge of civil affairs, and Sikong was in charge of water and soil. He was the last of the three.
"Your majesty, the three emperors have high authority. They are pillars of our nation, so it's best if your majesty selects them personally." Zhang Jue was afraid that He Jin would take advantage of him again, so he immediately warned Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.
Who knew that when Zhang Fu said that, it immediately made Hanling Emperor Liu Hong think of Yang Lin and said angrily: "Didn't Youzhou Yang Le County's Official, Liu Bei recommend Yang Lin to be the Third Elder? What do you think? "
"Your majesty, that Liu Bei doesn't know his place." Seeing that Hanling Emperor Liu Hong mentioned Yang Lin, Zhang You immediately helped to settle the situation. But he did not dare to help Yang Lin in broad daylight, so he could only slander Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, the Pitiful Moslems s of the Leroy County are constantly rebelling. Yang Lin is also responsible. The imperial government should strictly order Yang Lin, and set a deadline of time for the establishment of the impurity Mo. " He Jin had also accepted Yang Lin's precious gift last night. On the surface, it was pointing at Yang Lin, but in reality, it was to let him pass.
"Forget it, let Yang Lin pacify the impurity Mo's rebellion and reprimand them for not discussing about the imperial government in the future." Hanling Emperor Liu Hong waved his hands and let Yang Lin go. He then continued with the conversation, "I intend to take Situ Cui Lie as my Grand Commandant, Sikong Xu as my Situ, Guang Lu Xun Ding Palace as my Grand Commandant. What do you think? "
"The Emperor is wise!"
Regardless of whether He Jin was willing or not, Hanling Emperor still dismissed him. He had no choice but to kneel down and praise the Emperor for making the right decision. Zhang Lian was secretly laughing, glad that he had defeated He Jin again, and eliminated another of He Jin's accomplices.
When He Jin left the palace, Zhang Rong remembered another request that Yang Lin made. While was happy, he whispered into his ear: "Your majesty, Sanglang Cai Yong often spouts nonsense, slander others, and causes your majesty to be troubled. Since they were already in jail for three months, it would be better to send him to the Youzhou to bother Yang Lin. "Can I?"
"That's a good idea!" Hearing that, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong could not help but laugh. "That Sanglang Cai Yong is really too annoying, often spouting nonsense in the imperial court, causing me to be unhappy." Let him go to Youzhou, and call Yang Lin for help! "
Cai Yong followed the bailiff out of the dark cell. The intense sunlight hurt his eyes so much that he couldn't even open them. He rubbed his eyes hard and saw that he was indeed outside the prison. He turned his head to look at the gloomy prison and walked out resolutely.
"Father!" Cai Yong had not taken a few steps when a young girl about eleven or twelve years old suddenly ran in front of him. As she ran, she wailed and jumped into Cai Yong's embrace.
"Yan'er, why have you come?" Cai Yong carried the little girl and couldn't help but feel sad. He was suffering in prison, while his wife and daughter were suffering outside.
This little girl was Cai Yan. She threw herself into her father's embrace and cried pitifully, hugging her father tightly, afraid that he would be taken away from her again. She and her mother had suffered a lot in the absence of a father.
At this moment, a delicate and pretty woman walked over. She stood in front of Cai Yong and did not say a word, but her beautiful face was already covered with tears.
Even someone as strong as Cai Yong was shaken by the scene before him. He could put his life on the line to impeach a eunuch, but his wife and children were indeed in unbearable pain. He couldn't help but shake his head, and sigh towards the sky. Let's go home. "
"Go home? We don't even have a home! " Cai Yong's wife cried even harder, until he was almost unable to hold back his sobs.
"What is it?" Cai Yong asked anxiously, his tone filled with anger. Actually, there was no need to ask, he should have already expected that, since they had already sent him to the Youzhou, those Eunuch would rush to drive him out of the Luoyang, and even take his home.
"Two hours ago, a group of Imperial Guards came home and told us that you had been sent to the Youzhou, ordering us to set off immediately. We were only allowed to pack up a few things before we were chased out of the city." Tears rolled down her face like pearls with a broken string.
"These damn eunuchs, in the end, they will not be well-rewarded!" Cai Yong scolded angrily, he almost wanted to spit fire out of his tears. However, he could only rage, and couldn't move those eunuchs in the slightest. He had to suppress his anger and helplessly said, "Fine, let's go. Get a car and get out of here as soon as possible. "
"There's no need to look for the carriage. Arrowhead sent people to our house and brought the mother and daughter out. Our clothes are all on their carriage." Madam Cai stopped crying and said in a gratified tone.
