"Father, what did Lu Fengxian say, what do you think in your heart?" Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the flowers and plants in front of him, his expression was a little dignified, and he said in a serious tone: "If I say that the frontier of the Han Dynasty is really like what Lu Fengxian said, relying on the current strength of Luoyang City, I am afraid that the response measures at that time are not much different from the beginning of the Yellow Turban Bandit Rebellion before. ”

A sudden Yellow Turban Thief Rebellion made Liu Hong, the Han Emperor who was originally in his heart and was not worried about the stability of the Han family, have been thinking deeply during this time.

Why did the peaceful and prosperous era in the mouth of the Manchu ministers suddenly break out in such a huge uprising?

What made Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty even more incomprehensible was that in the early days of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Thief Rebellion, there were so many people in this small city who wanted to oppose him.

From the inner court to the outer court, there were so many rebellious traitors to the Han family, and even if it weren't for the fact that at the very beginning, the Han family got a report from Tang Zhou, a disciple of the thief Zhang Jiao, fearing that this deeply implicated Yellow Turban Rebellion would really be able to overthrow the rule of their Han family.

As soon as he thought of such a situation happening, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty felt a deep sense of insecurity in his heart.

Zhang Rang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, it seems like Lu Fengxian's words, you can't believe it all, but you can't believe it either, after all, now in my Han room, those ministers of the scholar clan have taken advantage of this Yellow Turban Rebellion, and this private power has been greatly improved." ”

"The most direct manifestation of this is that there are a large number of scholars and powerful children gathered around the general, as if this situation had never appeared before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Thief Rebellion."

As a eunuch who has been up and down in the inner court for decades, Zhang Rang has experienced too many power struggles, although Zhang Rang is perverse and greedy, but in his heart he knows very well that everything he has now is completely because of the Han Emperor Liu Hong.

If he lost the trust of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, then all the status, power, and wealth he had before would be far away from him.

It is precisely based on this premise that what Zhang Rang most does not want to see is that the power in the hands of the minister of the foreign dynasty is increasing day by day.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty nodded thoughtfully and said: "Father Jean is right, I promoted my uncle to the general before, and I originally wanted him to restrain the ministers of the sergeant clan of the court, but what I didn't expect was that the ecstasy of the ministers of the sergeant clan of the dynasty was so powerful that the generals were confused by them. ”

"This group of scholars is really terrible, even if I launched the party before and suppressed some of the scholars and heroes, but now in the interior of my Han family, there are too many traces of the scholars and heroes, not to mention anything else, just the Yuan family and the Yang family of the four worlds and three dukes, which are quite powerful in the court."

"Especially the Yuan family, in my Han family, there are even more protégés and old officials, even if I want to weaken the power of the Yuan family, I have to take into account the forces behind the Yuan family, and now the Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun who are leading the troops outside, not to mention that they have heavy troops, their private relationships, with the Yuan family, and the ministers of the scholar clan in the court, it is very good."

"Once it is said that there are a few people with different intentions in the middle, I am afraid that my Han family will enter a crisis at any time, today's words of Lu Fengxian remind me that it seems that the current pattern of my Han family must be adjusted somewhat, otherwise who can guarantee that there will be no uprising in the future?"

The emperor is also a lonely person.

The imperial power is always lonely, and if the imperial power is threatened by those scholars and ministers of the foreign dynasty, it will not be a good thing for the Han family.

Why did Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty start selling officials in the West Garden, and the trend of selling officials and lords prevailed in the Han Dynasty?

The ultimate goal is not that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty wants to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the local scholars and heroes of the Han Dynasty, so that the wealth of the scholars and heroes will eventually flow into his inner treasury?

It's just that for the current Han family, it is undoubtedly a move to quench the thirst of the people, even if the speed of this recall is fast, it will not be able to withstand the speed of these officials who rely on selling official positions and exploiting the local people.

If you want to revive the emperor's authority, you must strengthen your control over Luoyang, but now most of the soldiers and horses in this Luoyang City are in the hands of these scholars, even if Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty wants to intervene, but he can't get the hearts of so many generals.

Under the influence of the dual monarchy, many generals in the Han family are now surrounded by scholars and powerful benefactors, even though Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty wants to make some changes, but the constraints generated by this private make it difficult to implement all deployments in place.

Seeing that Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had a sad expression, Zhang Rang, who was waiting beside him, turned his eyes again and again, and then said: "Your Majesty, like the current situation, why doesn't Your Majesty recruit the elite of the Han family?" This elite man recruited from the states of the Han dynasty was not affected by this scholar minister. ”

"And in this process, Your Majesty, you personally select a group of trustworthy generals, and let someone from my inner court take charge of the management of the army, so in the hands of Your Majesty, isn't there an elite division? In the future, even if there is any unexpected situation in our Han family, Your Majesty can send the elite to suppress it as soon as possible. ”

"More importantly, it seems that the minister of the sergeant clan of the court, seeing that His Majesty has such an elite division in his hands, he must be afraid in his heart, and he will not be so scorching in the court at that time."

Listening to Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty who was originally depressed, seemed to have opened a new door at that moment, and many things that could only be thought about in his heart seemed to have a foothold to settle down.

Although there are many ministers of the noble clan who only care about their own interests in today's court, there are also many imperial parties that support the emperor, as long as these imperial parties that were originally in the lower position can be promoted to their rightful positions, the situation in the court will soon appear new and repeated.

The three forces that were originally active in the court will also evolve into four forces, or even five forces, because of this change, and the various forces in the court, in order to ensure their own rights and interests, will definitely stop for a while, so that if they take the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City again, it will greatly enhance the imperial power.

Thinking of such a situation, a smile appeared on the face of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, and even his eyes flashed with essence, isn't it the current warrior clan and the powerful power?

All right.

Then use this method to weaken your foundations!
