Chapter 14: Ma Qiang's Thoughts on the Road (3)

Under the opposition of the ministers, Liu Zhi finally set up Dou Miao, the descendant of Dou Rong of the former Three Dukes, as the queen, and soon worshiped Dou Miao's father Dou Wu as the captain of the city gate and the marquis of Huaili, hoping to rebuild the power of his relatives in order to compete with the scholars in the court.

It's a pity that Dou Wu didn't understand Liu Zhi's thoughts at all, but came together with the Shi clan, after all, the Dou family is also a wealthy family of the Shi clan, and they are a family, and they did not quickly change their positions because of the change of identity, so the relatives and the Shi clan stood on the same front and comprehensively counterattacked the eunuch forces, and finally the two sides began to fight each other.

First of all, Zhang Rang's younger brother Zhang Shuo, who was still Xiaohuangmen, was caught by Li Ying, the captain of the school, for indiscriminate murder of innocents, and he was so afraid that he didn't even dare to take the county order and fled to Zhang Rang's house, but Li Ying led troops to break into Zhang Rang's mansion, and after he was caught, he was executed after recording his confession.

The problem is that although Li Ying, as a lieutenant of Sili, has the right to arrest, he does not have the power to kill Zhang Shuo, Zhang Shuo is a county commander, and according to the law, only Tingwei has the power to judge and execute.

Zhang Rangneng later became the leader of the eunuchs, so he naturally knew about these systems, and immediately cried to Liu Zhi, saying that although his younger brother died innocently, Li Ying's killing of his younger brother without following the law was a manifestation of the lawlessness.

Liu Zhi felt justified and asked Li Ying why there was no national decree, and Li Ying replied, "The former Jin Dynasty Wen Gong Wei Cheng Gong returned to Beijing, and "Spring and Autumn" is Yan. "Li" Yun Gong clan is guilty, although it is said that you are wrong, there is a division that does not obey the constitution. Xi Zhongni was Lu Sikou, and he was punished for seven days. It has been ten years since the minister arrived in the office, and he is afraid of taking it as a shame to stay, and he does not want to get the crime of getting sick. Honesty knows that he is responsible, he does not spin his heel in death, he begs to stay for five days, he restricts the evil, retreats to the wok, and the meaning of the first life. In other words, he not only felt that he had done nothing wrong, but also felt that he was slow to kill, and used the matter of Confucius to justify himself, Liu Zhi, who had not read the book very seriously, was speechless.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, if we want to win in political struggles, we must study political theories in place, otherwise what others say will be reasonable, and whatever you say will not be ignored.

In this way, Li Ying's fame moved the world, the eunuchs did not dare to leave the palace on their rest days, and the corporal of the world were proud to meet Li Ying, and if anyone was received by Li Ying, he was called the Dragon Gate.

Gantry? You're a dragon, so what am I? Liu Zhi gritted his teeth and watched all this, but what Liu Zhi didn't notice was that from this moment on, the authority of the Han royal family began to disappear, your emperor is a fool, the people you use are all fortunate ministers, only we scholars are Qingliu, which means that the imperial power is already in jeopardy.

And Liu Zhi is even more convinced that eunuchs must be used, because this scene is too similar to Liang Ji back then, when hundreds of officials were promoted, they first went to worship Liang Ji, and now they worship Li Ying, and those people recommended by eunuchs no matter what their ability is, but when it comes to me, the emperor will be respected, and I will be grateful for my reward, and I will thank you when I see me, and I will cater when I speak, and what about you? took my money, said I was not good every day, and gave each other honorary titles.

When Dou Wu, who was reported by Liu Zhi with hope, was also awarded the honorary title of "Three Gentlemen", Liu Zhi knew that his relatives and himself would not have the same heart.

What is the "Three Monarchs", to put it bluntly, it is the name of the scholars who praise each other, and the "Three Monarchs" is also the "Sect of the First Generation", which can be described as the highest evaluation, and the scholars and relatives in order to hold each other together to deal with the eunuchs, it can be regarded as spending effort.

On the other hand, there are nicknames such as "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", and "Eight Kitchens".

Anyway, these are good people, and the good people must be bad people who scold.

In fact, Ma Qiang felt that neither of these two sides was a good thing, the eunuchs relied on the emperor's favor to bully and oppress the people, and they were naturally bastards, but Li Ying's group of people who had no law and discipline in their eyes and only had morality in their hearts were also bastards, because Ma Qiang in later generations knew too well that once he did not abide by the legal system and let people judge according to morality or preferences, the final result would be that no one would have a life guarantee.

Later, when Zhuge Liang ruled Shu, he explained that the reason why his criminal law was urgent was because of the shackles of Shu grammar, mutual worship, morality and politics, and intimidation and punishment. In fact, these problems all started at this time.

Since they began to kill people without rules, the two sides began to be completely irregular, and finally went from killing one person to killing the whole family.

At that time, Liu Zhi had let go of himself in his private life, and there were more than 5,000 beauties in the harem, but there were only a few who were really favored, after all, the body did not allow it, among which he loved a beauty had a relative named Zhang Fan, who took the eunuch door and got the official position, so the battle was rampant, and was caught by Nanyang Taishou Cheng Jin and Gong Cao Cen Hui, at that time, Liu Zhi ordered an amnesty to the world, but Cheng Jin and Cen Hui not only did not let go, but killed more than 200 people of Zhang Fan's family, which was a real annihilation.

Liu Zhi was going crazy when he got the news, is this the so-called gentleman?

Don't worry, it's not over, Taiyuan Taishou learned that Xiaohuangmen Zhao Jin had returned to his hometown, and immediately arrested him, and did not abide by the amnesty, and directly executed him for greed and indulgence.

Eunuch Gaoxiang Hou Lan's mother passed away, he went home to mourn, built a tomb, was found by Zhang Jian, who was the post supervisor in the east of Shanyang, Zhang Jian wrote to impeach Hou Lan, but was stopped by Hou Lan, so Zhang Jian led people to kill Hou Lan's house, smashed Hou Lan's mother's grave, and confiscated all the property of Hou Lan's family, as for Hou Lan's family guests are killed countless times.

Xu Xuan, the nephew of Xu Huang, was appointed as the commander of Pi County, because he could not propose to the daughter of the late Runan Taishou Li Hao, and sent someone to rob him, and shot him after playing with it.

All in all, the struggle between the scholars and the eunuchs began to heat up, and the advantages of the two sides were also extremely obvious, the eunuchs in the court had the support and acquiescence of the emperor Liu Zhi, and could often win, but in the local area they were powerless to fight back, and the slaughter of the clan by local officials abounded

Liu Zhi couldn't sit still, although there are many lawless eunuchs, but you scholars can kill them directly without my consent, is it right?

The eunuchs, who found that Liu Zhi was extremely angry about this matter, instigated their subordinates to write a letter to Cheng Jin and others, and Liu Zhi pushed the boat down the river and ordered the arrest of officials who violated the law, but the result was that these officials were gone.

Not only is the light gone, but there are also people everywhere to help hide them, and there is even an idiom like Wangmen surrendering, which makes Liu Zhi even more angry, I can't even catch a criminal official, is it really surnamed Liu in this world?

Speaking of which, Liu Zhi and the scholars really don't understand each other, the scholars feel that they are dedicated to the public and the country, you, the emperor, are a fool, and they are all villains, don't hurry up and find out the mistake of using us as officials, what are you doing!

Emperor Liu Zhi thinks that there is no emperor in the eyes of you scholars, I will give you a salary and give you an official position, but you collude with each other and disobey my orders, it is better not to have subordinates like you.
