Chapter 40: The Trouble of Party Corruption
Light and the sixth year, January, Shangyuan Festival.
Ma Yue presented a greeting to He Jin to congratulate the marquis, and then made a county order in Gucheng County for a month.
Liang Hu will see him within three days.
The teacher called, and Ma Yue hurriedly rode back to Luoyang.
Entering Luoyang City, Ma Yue smelled a faint smell of blood.
As soon as he entered the Liang Mansion, he was summoned to the study by Liang Hu.
"Sir, you recalled the students, but what happened to the court?"
Liang Hu nodded and asked, "San Lang is in Gucheng, what do you think?" β
"If you don't hide it from the teacher, you have no clue about the governance side for the students." Ma Yue smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't govern, I don't know how knowledgeable the sages are." β
Liang Hu touched his beard, his face was indistinguishable from joy and anger, and he sighed and said: "It's okay, it's just an experience anyway, Your Majesty wants to train you towards the general, but I'm afraid San Lang will go on another expedition." β
"On the march again? But sir...... Zhang Jiao? β
Liang Hu nodded and frowned and said: "On the third day of the day, Jian Shuo pulled out all the Taiping believers who had mixed into the forbidden army, and His Majesty was furious, and together with more than 300 people arrested by He Jin before, they were taken to the south of the city and abandoned to be executed. β
"All the abandonment of the market has not been spared? What about Ma Yuanyi? β
"His Majesty was the most angry at him, and the Imperial Governor's Mansion interrogated Ma Yuanyi, who took all the blame on himself, preaching to him, gathering crowds, bribing officials, and plotting rebellion. On the same day, the car cracked and died. β
"Car crack?" This criminal law was very cruel, the head and limbs of the prisoner were tied to the wheels of five chariots with ropes, and the executioner whipped the horses on the chariots, and the horses galloped and the prisoner's body was torn apart.
"The old man was also surprised at the beginning, no one in my Han Dynasty has never been punished by a car crack in 400 years, and the blame is Ma Yuanyi's plan...... Scared Your Majesty. β
Ma Yue felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Ma Yuanyi blocked his way, he carried out the arrest of Ma Yuanyi, he commanded the killing of Taiping believers, and Taiping Dao's plan for Luoyang was also handed over to Liu Hong by him, but at this time he had some bad feelings in his heart.
The cat cried with a mouse, Ma Yue laughed bitterly at himself, and asked Liang Hu respectfully, "Sir, what should students do?" β
Liang Hu shook his head and said: "You don't have to do anything, and your subordinates cultivate your body, it was Your Majesty who asked the old man to find you back, Taiwei Yang Ci wrote to His Majesty to kill Qu Shuai from all over the country to collect the displaced people back to their original hometowns, and Liu Tao of Situ Mansion wrote to His Majesty that he should issue a clear edict to pardon Zhang Jiao and reward him as a national soldier." His Majesty didn't pay any attention to the two edicts, and then beheaded Ma Yuanyi and more than 500 Taiping believers in the southern suburbs of the city...... Your Majesty's intention is very clear, there is no forgiveness for those who intend to rebel. β
Ma Yue nodded, Liu Hong's revenge was strong enough...... Ma Yue said: "Sir, there are many believers in Taiping Dao in various states in the world, can there be any changes recently?" β
Liang Hu shook his head: "I'm afraid that now Ma Yuanyi's corpse is going to be sent to Jizhou, and his body was stolen on the day Ma Yuanyi was executed. I think there will be news from the recent court meeting. β
Saying that, Liang Hu handed Ma Yue a paper book and said: "The old man went to Dongguan some time ago and found the six hand-to-hand combat articles in the art and literature chronicles, the old man didn't understand it very well, but he thought that maybe you would be able to use it, so he sent someone to copy a copy, you take it to see it in your spare time." β
Ma Yue took the book and didn't look at it, so he directly thanked Liang Hu and said, "The student thanked Mr. for his love." β
Liang Hu waved his hand indifferently and said: "I wanted to go to Dongguan to find you some ink treasures from Qi Xiang Du Cao and ask San Lang to copy and quell the ferocity of killing in recent years, but I didn't find it, but I saw this...... Alas. β
Following Liang Hu to learn calligraphy for several years, Ma Yue is familiar with calligraphy, Du Cao is the Qi phase of Emperor Zhang, so it is also called Du Qi Xiang, especially good cursive, the font is slightly thin and the word is sharp, known as the word Ruo'an. Founder of Zhangcao. Liang Hu was probably afraid that he would kill the mob on the winter solstice last year, and wanted him to learn to kill decisively between the lines.
Killing the word Ruo'an, not the literal meaning of the writing is weak, the meaning of the word killing is the end of the word, and each word is very clean and neat after writing, that is, the killing is decisive.
Ma Yue stood up and bowed and said, "Sir, don't worry, the students won't be lost." β
For Ma Yue, the scroll of hand-to-hand combat is much more useful than Du Cao's Mobao, and force is the foundation of his life.
Liang Hu's beard and temples are a little pale, looking even older, but there is a spirit in his eyes, although Ma Yue said this, he still glanced at Ma Yue with some concern and said: "San Lang, some time ago, Emperor Fu Song of the Northern Land Taishou made a statement to the imperial court to remove the party's shackles, and Chang Shi Lu Qiang also felt that the party shackles should be lifted, otherwise once the party members and Zhang Jiao are in the same stream, Zhang Jiao's advantage will be greatly increased...... How does Saburo think he should treat the party? β
"Party members?" When Ma Yue mentioned the party, he immediately thought of Yuan Shao, and the party's people mostly referred to those Qingliu who opposed the eunuchs in this era...... However, the fact is not only that, the Eastern Han Dynasty forbade officials to form a party, whether it was against eunuchs, or whether their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials got too close to guide the government with public opinion, they were all party members.
Maybe there are good people in the party, but there are also bad people among them, there are geniuses and idiots, just as among the eunuchs there is Xu Feng who united Taiping Dao, and there is also a fair Lu Qiang among the eunuchs.
Just a few days ago, when Taiwei Yang Ci wrote that Zhang Jiao should be killed, there was a nerd minister named Xiang Xu, who was a servant at the time, and he opposed Zhang Rang's ten permanent servants who were also considered party members, but he wrote to Liu Hong to kill the ten permanent servants...... As for the Taiping believers, he suggested that Liu Hong send ministers to recite the "Book of Filial Piety" to the Taiping believers, and millions of Taiping believers would collapse.
Offended Zhang Rang and hasn't given Liu Hong any constructive advice, and now he is locked up in Huangmen North Temple Prison, thinking that he is not far from death.
There is also a Zhang Jun, who wrote to Liu Hong to kill all the ten permanent servants, at that time Liu Hong had already sent Xu Feng and Feng Zhen, who colluded with the yellow scarf, to prison and beheaded, and was angry, and was angrily reprimanded by Liu Hong: Isn't there a good person among the ten permanent servants?
Zhang Jun's death was more simple than Xiang Xu, he directly offended Liu Hong and was imprisoned and died in the hands of the Ten Standing Servants.
Ma Yue said: "Your Majesty should pardon the party members, after all, there are a large number of Taiping Dao believers, and the imperial court should concentrate all its forces to deal with the rebel army of Taiping Dao." β
"Well...... Saburo has a point. Liang Hu nodded first, then shook his head and said: "However, the party people rise again, and after they punish the Taiping Dao, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not bite me back...... Even if you can't shake the old man's roots, the waiters don't have such good luck. β
"This ......" Ma Yue was stunned for a moment, and said: "The student really didn't take into account the interests of the permanent servant, it's better for Mr. to make a decision, the war does not have the support of the party, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to win." β
Liang Hu's expression was a little uneasy, he glanced at Ma Yue deeply, and sighed: "San Lang, do you know how many outstanding talents were in Hongdumen back then, but Ren Zhi, Jia Hu and others can also play with His Majesty, and they don't have half of the real power in their hands." The official is like this, but there is only one teacher? β
"Your Majesty built the Hongdu Gate in order to wrest power from the hands of the thieves, but Your Majesty reused the children of the Han Sect, but they all seemed to be new thieves, desperately moving closer to the thieves, wanting to be recognized by the scholars. The old man was lucky, and someone in the clan was killed for breaking the law by the ministers...... Because the old man never got close to those thieves, he had to be reused by His Majesty. β
The powerful minister in Liang Hu's mouth is Liang Ji, a general who was notorious all over the world twenty years ago.
"San Lang, never support the scholars, never move closer to the scholars...... Straight as the side of the string dead road, the song is like a hook against the marquis, the show does not know the book, the father of the filial piety does not live, the cold is white and turbid like mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken! β
Liang Hu waved his hand and let Ma Yue retreat. Once again, the quiet study was left alone.
Tomorrow's Pilgrimage...... Alas.
Pushing open the window, the cold wind blew the snowflakes into the study, which was heartwarming.
