On the same day, because Zhang Rang interceded for Liu Bian, although Emperor Ling still reprimanded Liu Bian, he did not make an actual punishment, but only proposed to find a teacher for Liu Bian.

This incident made Zhang Rang unexpected, and his complexion changed slightly.

Could it be that there is no one in the court who can serve as the prince's teacher?

Of course not.

At this time, there were many virtuous ministers in the court, such as Yang Biao, the son of the late Taiwei Yang Ci, Ma Rong's grandson, Ma Riyan, and Lu Zhi, who had made great contributions to the Yellow Turban disaster before, and many other virtuous ministers, these virtuous ministers were qualified and capable of serving as the prince's teachers, the problem was that most of these people were scholars, how could Zhang Rang dare to let these people serve as Liu Wei's teachers?

You must know that once Liu Wei established the identity of the prince, his teacher was the prince and the prince, and when he succeeded to the throne, Liu Wei would be the prince, and in the future, there would be no doubt that he would be above the hundred officials in the court, and he would be a very popular minister.

With such an important position, how could Zhang Rang let a scholar fill it?

It should be said that Zhang Rang is worthy of being the 'eunuch of the two dynasties' who entered the palace when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, although his face changed slightly, he was also calm, and hurriedly echoed: "What Your Majesty said is very true, it is indeed necessary to choose a teacher for Shi Hou...... The old minister thought that it was better to choose from Hongxue's Shi Yiguan, Liang Menghuang, and Mao Daya. ”

Who are you talking about?

Even if Liu Wei thinks he is familiar with this history, he doesn't know who these people Zhang Rang is talking about, but he knows the 'Hongxue' in Zhang Rang's mouth.

Hongxue, the full name of Hongdumen School, is a new school established by Emperor Ling in Ruoyang about ten years ago, because the school site is located in the Hongdumen area of Luoyang, so it is named.

This new school was founded by Emperor Ling in order to confront the scholars and to win over and cultivate the scholars who supported him.

In view of the disdain of the scholars for eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants, most of the students of Hongdu Sect were the children of commoners—yes, they were commoners rather than the children of the Han family, which to a certain extent also shook the class social form of the scholars who gathered knowledge, and provided a channel for the lower class of civilians to rise.

This is also one of the few achievements of the Spirit Emperor and the Ten Standing Servants, although their original intention was not so.

Different from Taixue, Hongdu Men mainly teaches dictionaries, fu, calligraphy, and painting, and the Shi Yiguan, Liang Menghuang, and Mao Daya mentioned by Zhang Rang are also well-known contemporary calligraphers, compared to Cai Yong and other calligraphers in the scholarly camp, and won the favor of Emperor Ling.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Hongxue and Taixue are like the difference between a junior college and an undergraduate.

Of course, although it is said to be a 'specialty', but because it was established by Emperor Ling, coupled with the previous suppression of Taixue because of the relationship between the two party leaders, Hongxue's reputation so far is not bad at all.

Think about it, one is an institution where the children of the common people can also study, and the other is a school where the children of the scholar clan have to rely on the relationship, so naturally the reputation of Hongxue will overshadow Taixue, after all, because of the relationship between the ten permanent servants, it is easier for Hongxue protégés to get high-ranking officials.

"Hmm. ”

Emperor Ling pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Just choose someone from the doctors of Hongxue, Father, this matter will be left to you." ”

Zhang Rang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will definitely choose a few teachers for Shi Hou to satisfy Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Ling nodded, and then waved his hand to signal Zhang Rang to send someone to send Liu Wei back to his residence.

Zhang Rang understood and personally sent Liu Wei outside the palace.

At this time, Liu Wei naturally did not forget to seize the opportunity to express his closeness: "Zhang Gong, thanks to you this time." ”

I have to say that no matter what people in the world say about the Ten Standing Servants, but from his standpoint, if he wants to inherit the throne smoothly in two years, then the Ten Standing Servants belong to a force that should be won over and can be co-opted.

As for the harm of the Ten Standing Servants, can it be as harmful as Dong Zhuo?

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, not to mention the harem of fornication, he also killed the young emperor and the queen mother, and burned the Han Palace in Luoyang before retreating to Chang'an, and dug the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties, which can be described as a great evil in the world!

In contrast, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants did not forget to kowtow to the young emperor before they committed suicide by jumping into the river in desperation, and cried loudly: "The ministers are annihilated, and the world is in chaos." But Your Majesty loves himself!"

The so-called people are dying, and their words are also good, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants did not forget to kowtow to the young emperor before they died, hoping that the young emperor would take care of himself, it can be seen that at least in terms of loyalty to the Han family, Zhang Rang and others are not really chaotic ministers and thieves, and it doesn't hurt to beat them again in the future, at least Liu Wei never thought that he would kill all the eunuchs in the palace in the future.

Eunuchs are inexhaustible, even if Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, who later wrote in the teacher table that "he did not sigh and hate Yu Huan and Lingye", is it not that there is no way to take Huang Hao, the regular servant next to Liu Chan?

Eunuchs, relatives, ministers, and harems, these are all objective existences that always revolve around the imperial power, and if the imperial power is strong, these four forces will be divided; otherwise, there will be eunuchs, relatives, ministers, and harems as disasters, controlling the government and oppressing the imperial power, and this is the case in all dynasties.

As the great man said: Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Therefore, as long as the imperial power remains sober, the disaster of the eunuch is just a minor illness, compared to the other three threats, after all, the eunuch can never usurp the throne, and the relatives, the ministers, the harem, can!

Zhang Rang was satisfied and happy with Liu Wei's overture, and hurriedly said: "Shi Hou is serious, the old minister is a crippled person, he only wants to be loyal to the Han family all his life, and it is the blessing of the old minister to share his worries for His Majesty and Shi Hou." If Shi Hou needs anything in the future, the old minister will do his best. ”

Liu Wei, who knew his life deeds, smiled in his heart, but did not show it.

At this moment, one of the ten permanent attendants, Da Changqiu Zhao Zhong hurriedly came with four small eunuchs, saw Liu Wei and Zhang Rang from a distance, and came quickly.

"Zhao Changshi, you are in a hurry, I don't know what is urgent?"

Because of Liu Bian's side, Zhang Rang did not call Zhao Zhong 'Gong' as usual.

Obviously, Zhao Zhong also guessed Zhang Rang's considerations, and after saluting Liu Wei and Zhang Rang, he explained with a smile: "Shi Hou, Zhang Changshi, this is the case, the queen learned about the daughter of the Dong family, and heard that His Majesty called Shi Hou to give a lecture, so she urgently ordered me to intercede." ”

Although he said 'urgent', in fact he was not in a hurry.

Since Liu Wei took the initiative to show favor to Guo Sheng, it has become a tacit understanding within the Ten Standing Servants, and Zhao Zhong naturally guessed in advance that Zhang Rang, who was next to Emperor Ling, would intercede for this Shi Hou.

If you insist on saying that he is in a hurry, it is purely to show in front of Liu Bian, just like Zhang Rang wants to intercede for him in front of Emperor Ling in front of Liu Bian.

Showing merit to the future prince, don't chill.

"I see. ”

Zhang Rang suddenly said to Liu Wei with a smile: "Since it is the queen's summons, Shi Hou should not delay. ”

So, Liu Wei said goodbye to the head of the Ten Standing Servants, and followed Zhao Zhong, the second person of the Ten Standing Servants, to the Changqiu Palace and met the current queen of the Han Dynasty, He Shi.

Empress He, the sister of the general He Jin, the mother of Shihou Liu Bian, it is said that when she was thirteen or four years old, she entered the palace under the arrangement of her brother He Jin and Guo Sheng, and then by chance the Ling Emperor was fortunate enough to give birth to Liu Bian, and was named a nobleman, and at this time it coincided with the abolition of the Song Queen, so the daughter of a butcher in Nanyang became the queen of the world, which can be described as very magical.

Although I don't know her specific age, but judging from her appearance, this Queen He is now only twenty-six or seven years old at most, which is the age of elegance and peerlessness, plus she was born pretty, and there is a graceful and luxurious laziness between the pitchers, I have to say that she has both appearance, temperament, and charm.

This made Liu Wei inevitably feel a little pressure, and when he bowed, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Mother...... After. ”

Empress He may have noticed that Liu Wei was a little unfamiliar with her, but she didn't care too much, after all, this son has been raised outside the palace since he was a child, and it has not been a month since he was brought back to the palace, so she is not surprised to be estranged from her.

"My wretched child......"

She took the initiative to take her son in her arms.

This made Liu Wei feel more and more uncomfortable, after all, from the perspective of his previous life, Queen He's appearance and age were just within his suitable range, but unfortunately she was the biological mother of this body......

Fortunately, at the age of ten, he didn't have that impulse at all, but he still felt a little uncomfortable psychologically, so he subconsciously struggled.

Empress He sensitively felt her son's struggle, and then saw that her son was full of discomfort, so she had to let him go, but her expression was a little resentful.

"Mother, I ......"

"There is no need to explain, for the mother to understand. ”

Xu is Liu Bian's embarrassed appearance made Queen He a little unbearable, she reached out and touched Liu Bian's head, with a doting smile on her face.

I have to say that it is said that Queen He in history was stubborn and jealous, poisoned Wang Meiren and expelled Empress Dowager Dong, and the harem was shocked, but during this period of time, Liu Wei personally experienced that this Queen He was very doting and tolerant of him.

"Bian'er, Your Majesty didn't punish you, did you?"

"No ......"

Liu Wei quietly glanced at Zhao Zhong, who was standing aside with a whisk in his hand, and pretended to be glad and said, "Fortunately, Zhang Changzhi interceded for me......

As he spoke, he briefly explained the matter, including Emperor Ling's request for Zhang Rang to choose a few people as teachers in Hongdumen.

As he expected, Zhao Zhong smiled slightly.

"That's good. ”

Empress He also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took Liu Bian's hand and said earnestly: "Bian'er, you want Cai Langzhong's daughter to enter the palace to be your companion, why don't you tell your mother about this? Fortunately, your father did not blame him this time...... Promise to be a mother, if there is anything to tell your mother in the future, you will find a way for your mother, you know?"

"Yes......"

Liu Wei bowed slightly.

I have to say that Queen He's performance reminded him of the phrase 'loving mothers are more defeated'.

Of course, judging from historical data, Empress He is still far from 'Ci', especially for Wang Meiren and Empress Dowager Dong, but in any case, her love for his only son cannot be faked, and this also prompted Liu Wei to make a secret decision to change the fate of this woman.

In addition, he had to find a way to coax the queen mother to stand with him, so that he could stop his uncle He Jin from doing stupid things in the future.
