Chapter 15: Ma Qiang's Thoughts on the Road (4)

The disaster of the party began at this point, Zhang Jian and a few people could run, but Li Ying and others in Luoyang couldn't run, under the three woods, what could they ask for, under the false accusations of each other, the list of people who were identified as party members became longer and longer, and even the children of eunuchs were accused of being party members.

When Liu Zhi found that there were more and more party members in the newspaper and the forces represented behind him were becoming more and more complicated, he also began to worry about the imbalance of power between the DPRK and China.

This is the first disaster of the party, Liu Zhi successfully hit the Shi clan, the officials in the court no longer dared to oppose him, just when he was ready to work hard to have a son, while enabling the villain close to him, the Eastern Han Emperor's life curse broke out again, Liu Zhi died in the palace at the age of thirty-six.

According to the process designed by Emperor Guangwu back then, at this time, a relative came to power, Dou Wu is one of the three gentlemen, now it's okay, welcome the new era, the scholars are called a gong and drum, Dou Wu is his own person, and the eunuch is not finished!

If people in later generations read history books and read this, they will find that this scene is so similar to the later scene, so history is really a serial, and I always love to remake it.

After rigorous investigation, Dou Wu and others chose Liu Hong.

This criterion must be to see who can toss the Eastern Han Dynasty to death....

Liu Hong was eleven years old at this time, and in the next generation, that is, at the level of the fifth or sixth grade of primary school, he hadn't even grown his hair, so he naturally couldn't get this power.

Dou Wu was promoted to general, Chen Fan was Taifu, Hu Guang was Situ, and the three of them led Shangshutai together, and Li Ying, Du Mi, Yin Xun, Liu Yu and others, who were originally identified as party members, were all summoned to the court and the central government again to discuss the state of the country.

Among the three people who led Shangshutai, Chen Fan and Hu Guang are over eighty years old, so naturally Dou Wu is the mainstay.

Is it a feeling of hope for ZTE in the world? But Liu Hong was trembling watching this group of people in the palace.

Why? Because more than a hundred years ago, there was a man who was a relative and a great Sima Lingshang scholar who was also considered by the Manchu Dynasty to be the hope of saving the world, by the way, that person's name was Wang Mang.

Dou Wu feels very good at this time, now he is his own people up and down, and the previous party has allowed countless official positions to be controlled by the eunuch family, so now is the time to settle accounts.

But after all, the eunuch is a servant of the royal family, Dou Wu feels that he needs the support of the royal family, and Liu Hong's little kid naturally doesn't care, but the Empress Dowager Dou, her own sister, still needs to be convinced.

Dou Wu ran to the palace and told the Empress Dowager Dou that he had read the history books and found that the Yellow Gate and the Chang Attendant were only responsible for guarding the door and managing the accounts, but now they had the power in the world, which was unreasonable, and he hoped that all the eunuchs would be killed in order to clear the court.

When Empress Dowager Dou heard her father's thoughts, she was extremely surprised, saying that since the Han Dynasty, there have been eunuchs for generations, and it is enough to kill the guilty, how can you kill them all? Who will I use after they are all killed?

This Empress Dowager Dou is really not stupid, she knows very well that the eunuch is actually a derivative of the imperial power, and killing the eunuch is to cut off one of the hands of the imperial power, so as the representative of the imperial power at this time, she will not be finished sooner or later.

Dou Wu resolutely said that the eunuch must be killed, otherwise the world will not accept it, the Empress Dowager Dou thought about it and decided to launch a few substitutes for the dead ghosts, Dou Wu looked at these few people, not enough to divide the official position.... No, it's not enough to be angry, we have to think of a way.

Dou Wu was fighting for the support of the Empress Dowager Dou here, and the scholars on the other side were not idle, first playing the astrological card, indicating that Venus was guilty of the throne in order to win the heavens.

He then appointed Zhu Yu as the lieutenant of Si Li, Yu Qi as the commander of Luoyang County, dismissed Wei Biao from the Huangmen Order, and appointed Xiao Huangmen Shanbing, who was close to him, to replace him in order to gain geographical advantages.

Well... Although this Shan Bing is a eunuch, he is close to the scholar clan and is a good eunuch, so he can consider erecting a monument in the future.

Then he began to arrest people, first arresting and killing Guan Ba and Su Kang, who were approved by the Empress Dowager Dou, and then arresting Zheng Sa, the Changle Shangshu of the eunuch faction, and ordering him to bite other eunuchs so that he could deal with other eunuchs later.

Just when Dou Wu was about to fully close the net, Dou Wu found that he hadn't rested for a month, and he just took a break today, so he happily went home and prepared to rest for two days.

The eunuchs, who were originally desperate, found that Dou Wu actually went home to rest, and immediately fought back, first the seventeen eunuchs once again made a bloody alliance, and then collectively petitioned Liu Hong, saying that Dou Wu wanted to rebel and asked Liu Hong to issue an order to quell the rebellion.

The all-out fire began, and the eunuchs with Liu Hong in hand began to mobilize the palace guards to take down Shangshutai, and then snatched the talisman, closed the palace gate and turned around to kidnap the Empress Dowager Dou, and then issued an order to release Zheng Sa, by the way, he killed Shan Bing and others who were still interrogating Zheng Sa a minute ago, and Zheng Sa led people out of the palace to arrest Dou Wu.

When Chen Fan, who was over eighty years old, heard the news, he led dozens of Taiwei officials and students to draw swords and rush into Chengming Gate, but in the face of hundreds of palace guards and eunuchs, he was captured alive in less than a moment, and was beaten to death in prison that day.

And Dou Wu learned of the palace change in his sleep, and immediately took his son and nephew to the military camp to gather thousands of soldiers to counterattack.

At this time, Zhang Yang, who had just come back from Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, looked at Luoyang who was in a mess and was stunned, did he go the wrong way? Is it still in Liangzhou?

Seeing Zhang Yang returning, the eunuchs immediately sent an edict ordering him to lead the soldiers of the four battalions of Tuncai, Yuecai, Changshui, and Shesheng, who had not been controlled by Dou Wu in the battalion of the five lieutenants, to attack Dou Wu.

Zhang Yang studied it carefully, well, the seal is complete, and he has to work.

Zhang Yang is one of the three Ming of Xiliang, who killed the Qiang and Xiongnu who did not want to be ruthless, and Dou Wu was wiped out in one round.

With the destruction of Dou Wu, the eunuchs counterattacked in an all-out way, and began the second disaster of the party.

Due to the activity of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, almost all of the Manchu scholars were related to them, which made the court empty.

As I said before, the birth of officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty is divided into two kinds: senior and low-level, senior officials are almost all scholars, and low-level officials are local heroes.

In other words, the second disaster of the party made the land annexation of the Eastern Han Dynasty develop rapidly, and in the past ten years, countless yeoman farmers have been forced to become tenants of large clans or flee like mountains and forests to become hidden households, and the dozen or so families that have moved to the mountains one after another can be seen as the epitome of the Eastern Han Dynasty whose population was constantly hidden.
