In the court of the Han Empire, the elites of the scholar clan were indispensable.

In other words, the strength of the nobles blocked the opportunity for commoners to participate in court politics.

Not only because the wealth of knowledge is concentrated in the hands of the nobles, but the ordinary people have no access to advanced knowledge and advanced productive forces, so it is difficult to get promoted.

What's more, the elites of the scholar clan not only controlled the important positions and resources of the Han Empire, but also occupied them for a long time.

In order to be able to occupy these high-quality resources all the time, the scholars also united with each other and became allies with each other, turning the entire Han Empire into their network of relationships, which was intertwined and even more difficult to shake.

Therefore, even if the ruling classes of successive dynasties wanted to eliminate these people, there was no fundamentally effective way.

Now Emperor Ling is obsessed with the beauty of the harem beauties and completely ignores the government, which makes the ambitious eunuchs around him able to control the government.

In this way, the group of scholars who had long occupied control of the Han Empire regarded these eunuchs who had usurped real power as enemies and hated them to the core.

However, because the power of the ten permanent servants was too great, the scholars had no chance to defeat them for a while, so they took advantage of the contradictions between their relatives and eunuchs to make them kill each other, while the scholars waited to reap the benefits.

This is the reason why there are so many elites of the scholar clan around He Jin.

They didn't really owe allegiance to He Jin, but just took advantage of his battle with the Ten Permanent Servants to take this opportunity to defeat the Ten Permanent Servants.

And He Jin, a person who was born as a butcher, has no brains and is easy to control, so the scholars are not worried that he will be dominant after defeating the Ten Standing Servants, and the henchmen of the Shi Clan are in great trouble, and only the Ten Standing Servants are in great trouble.

Therefore, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are scholars, are on He Jin's side.

Now, they led the Xiyuan Army under their command to the harem to chase and kill the escaped Ten Standing Servants, but they unexpectedly ran into Chun Yuqiong who called for help.

Although they are all captains of the West Park Army, they belong to different camps.

Chun Yuqiong, as the righteous son of the Ten Standing Servants Jian Shuo, is naturally from the eunuch's side, while Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are the elites of the scholar clan who pretend to work for He Jin.

These two West Garden Army,

They were all assembled in the palace for this palace power struggle, but the ten permanent servants took the lead and killed He Jin first, which made Yuan Shao angry and led the army into the palace and killed the ten permanent servants.

This is the arrogance of the nobles, and they will do everything to defeat their enemies.

This time the battle between the eunuchs and their relatives, because of the support of the scholars, can maintain the parity, if not so, how can such a scheming person as He Jin be able to fight against the ten permanent servants who have already controlled the government?

But even with the help of the scholars, this stupid man was ambushed by them and died in the palace because he did not listen to the advice.

In the face of the unexpected defeat, the scholars obviously couldn't accept it, so they no longer pretended, but showed their arrogant nature and killed the victorious ten permanent attendants.

In fact, if the power of the Yishi clan really wants to use force to eradicate the Ten Permanent Servants, there is no need to wait until this time to do so.

It's just that they took into account the prestige of the emperor, so they didn't dare to act rashly, lest it would be difficult to end when they tore their faces.

After all, in the world at that time, the emperor's prestige was supreme, no matter how powerful the scholars were, they could not override the imperial power and morality, no matter how they said, the emperor represented the existence of the Han Empire, once the scholars fell out with the emperor, whether they won or lost, from a moral point of view, they had already lost.

This is absolutely undesirable in the era of great emphasis on etiquette and law, especially for scholars who rely on fame and growth, and they cannot touch this bottom line.

Therefore, even as they watched the strength of the Ten Standing Servants gradually growing, the scholars did not dare to act rashly when they did not find a perfect countermeasure.

It wasn't until the power of the Ten Constant Servants had begun to touch the interests of the Shi clan that they could no longer tolerate it.

Therefore, the scholars thought of a way to deal with the Ten Constant Servants, that is, to support a strong opponent who was enough to balance the Ten Constant Servants, and use the battle between them to achieve victory.

But in order to prevent the chess pieces they used to deal with the Ten Standing Servants from biting them in turn after they became stronger, the scholars were very cautious when choosing people.

And He Jin, who was born as a butcher, just met their requirements.

This one is a no-brainer

's pig killer was favored by the emperor by virtue of his sister, and he himself had no ambitions and ambitions.

The scholars took a fancy to this, so they frequently contacted him, and used various methods to make this not-so-smart pig killer quickly become hostile to the Ten Standing Servants.

Seeing that the discord was successful, the next plan of the scholar clan was how to give this pig killer who suddenly became noble a greater power to compete with the ten permanent attendants.

Just then, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.

So, under the joint recommendation of the scholars, He Jin became a general.

This important position of holding the power of the world's soldiers and horses has always been only qualified to be held by the emperor's relatives and relatives, although the ten permanent servants have long wanted to get involved in this position, but they have never had the opportunity.

A very important reason is that in order to prevent the military power from falling, the emperors of the past dynasties expressly forbade the position of the general representing the highest military power to be handed over to outsiders.

Especially the eunuchs, the powerful Qin Dynasty was destroyed at the hands of the eunuch Zhao Gao.

And Gaozu Liu Bang seized the world from the disputes at the end of the Qin Dynasty, so he was even more wary of eunuchs than all dynasties and generations.

In the calendar of the Han Dynasty, it was clearly stated that eunuchs were not allowed to participate in court politics in order to prevent them from confusing the court.

Although the eunuchs still control the government, they are unable to pocket the military power.

Because of the huge impact of this matter, the scholars also knew that once even the military power of the Han Empire fell into the hands of the Ten Standing Servants, no matter how great their ability was, they would not be able to return to the sky.

Therefore, in the face of the military power that the Ten Standing Servants have been coveting for a long time, the scholars have been trying their best to hinder it, but they can't let them succeed.

And it happened that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the scholars had the opportunity to seize the power of the soldiers and horses, so they recommended He Jin as the general to quell the rebellion.

Compared with the people who tried their best to promote the ten permanent attendants, He Jin, as the queen's elder brother, can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and Emperor Ling was very fond of Queen He at that time, so this military power was handed over to He Jin.

This is how the scholars and the ten permanent servants competed for military power.

But although He Jin got the position of general, the Ten Standing Servants did not give up, they were alarmist in the ears of Emperor Ling, spreading rumors that He Jin wanted to rebel.
