Chapter Forty-Nine: The Loyal Eunuch
Since ancient times, there is a saying that "listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years", and Liu Xie really felt this way at this time.
When I read history books in my previous life, I always thought about how so-and-so could succeed, thinking that many things in history should actually be very simple, but many people in history were too stupid.
But once he was really in the game, Liu Xie immediately discovered that he often had the limitations of historical figures.
"Listening to Mr. is better than thinking about it for a year!" I couldn't help but sigh at Jia Xu and Liu Xie, these exclamations were all from the bottom of my heart.
Hearing Liu Xie's praise, Jia Xu didn't care, and then said: "Your Highness should not praise too much, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
"Didn't the gentleman mean to let me go and fight for Jian Shuo?" Hearing Jian Shuo say that he didn't finish speaking, Liu Xie was stunned.
After all, in Liu Xie's view, this eunuch power is nothing more than the "Ten Standing Servants" and Jian Shuo, I don't know what Jian Shuo is going to say.
"No, Your Highness, these two forces are not among these eunuchs." Jia Xu shook his head, especially when he saw the confused look in Liu Xie's eyes, he understood that Liu Xie really didn't know.
Hearing this, Liu Xiexian was surprised, this seems to be different from what he has mastered from history books or what he has mastered in reality today.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in this palace, in addition to Zhang Rang's first-class, that is, Jian Shuo, if it is said that there are several forces in the scholar clan, Liu Xie believes that after all, different families have their own different interests.
But if you want to say that there is a third force among the eunuchs, then Liu Xie is a little unconvinced, after all, it is not easy enough for such an outlier to be such an outlier among the eunuchs, where will the third force come from?
"Then I'm going to ask sir, who is the third force in this eunuch to refer to?" Liu Xie's words had a hint of inquiry, obviously the attitude of the third force among the eunuchs mentioned by Jia Xu was debatable.
Hearing the change in the tone of Liu Xie's words, Jia Xu was not annoyed, but explained with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows the ten permanent servants in the palace, as well as the marshal of the Xiyuan Army, Jian Shuo, thinking that these are all the eunuchs, which is very wrong. ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Xie was still a little unconvinced, after all, relying on the memories of later generations, he didn't know what famous eunuchs there were in the palace in addition to the ten permanent servants and Jian Shuo.
"Your Highness, don't worry, and listen to the official slowly." Jia Xu smiled slightly, with a calm face.
Looking at Jia Xu's determined appearance, Liu Xie subconsciously couldn't help but believe it.
"Your Highness, there are good people and bad people in this world, and there are good and bad people in the same group of eunuchs." Jia Xu said slowly.
"Of course I know." Liu Xie's heart was full of questions, he naturally understood this truth, but what Liu Xie didn't understand was what Jia Xu wanted to say, could it be that he couldn't teach himself dialectics?
"Similarly, since there are ministers such as Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, there will naturally be backbone eunuchs such as Lu Qiang among the eunuchs." Jia Xu said again.
"Didn't Wen Xiansheng want to tell me that there are still eunuchs like Lu Qiang in this palace now?" Hearing what Jia Xu said, Liu Xie was suddenly shocked, and he seemed to have grasped something in his heart.
Lu Qiang and Liu Xie still know that it is a rare clear stream among the eunuchs of this era.
Starting from a small yellow gate, he has been promoted to the position of a permanent attendant in the Dao by Emperor Ling, and even Emperor Ling has to make him a marquis of the capital, and a eunuch is made a marquis, I am afraid it is rare in history.
But even though the treatment was so good, Lu Qiang refused Emperor Ling's reward for his marquis.
It is rumored that back then, Lu Qiang not only did not go along with Zhang Rang and others, but also wrote a letter asking for a reprimand of traitors, Ren Zhongliang, Bo Fu, Hou Nongsang, and open the way.
is simply a living loyal minister, but he is such a rare talent, who was wrongfully killed by Zhao Zhong, which makes people sigh.
If Liu Xie is not mistaken, Lu Qiang died five years ago.
Liu Xie didn't believe that there were really capable and loyal eunuchs like Lu Qiang in the palace, and if there was another Jian Shuo, Liu Xie would burn high incense.
"How can Your Highness be sure that there are no such people in this palace?" Jia Xu did not refute Liu Xie, but asked rhetorically.
"It's... If there are such people, how can Zhang Rang and others be so arrogant? Jia Xu stopped Liu Xie a little, and asked a little far-fetched.
"Your Highness, if there are such people, what can they do without a master? is like Lu Qiang, who is outstanding in talent, but in the end he ended up miserable.
Such bloody examples are right in front of you, coupled with Zhang Rang and others' chaotic government, although Lu Qiang died, it chilled the hearts of those who knew among the eunuchs. Jia Xu sighed and said.
Looking at Jia Xu, Liu Xie had a feeling that Jia Xu at this time was the real Jia Xu.
I used to look at Jia Xu and always felt that I was looking at a person in a suit, but now it seems that Jia Xu was originally an upright person, but because of this world, and the smarter a person is, the more he can see through, so he has created the "poisoner" in history.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."Jia Xu saw Liu Xie looking at him distracted, and hurriedly reminded Liu Xie.
Liu Xie, who came back to his senses, saw Jia Xu looking at him with a puzzled expression, and then asked from the topic just now: "Wen Xiansheng, since you think that there are eunuchs like Lu Qiang in this palace, can you introduce one or two for me." ”
"I don't dare to introduce them, and the lower officials have only heard of some people, and they have never seen real people, but seeing that they did not flatter Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others after they took power, they should be honest people." Hearing what Liu Xie said, Jia Xu shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Oh? Please speak, sir. Hearing what Jia Xu said, Liu Xie suddenly became interested.
Seeing that Liu Xie was very interested, Jia Xu finally spoke: "Your Highness can pay attention to the five people in the palace, Jiyin Ding Su, Xiapi Xu Yan, Nanyang Guo Tan, Ruyang Li Xun, and Beihai Zhao You. ”
Liu Xie also wanted to ask Jia Xu how Jia Xu knew since they were little known, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt wrong, and couldn't help asking: "What does Wen Xiansheng mean by helping me here?" ”
Seeing that Liu Xie really asked, Jia Xu said: "Your Highness, there is a letter from home, my father has passed away, and the lower official has to go back to Ding Wei to keep filial piety for three years, so it is impossible to stay in Luoyang all the time." ”
"What?" Hearing what Jia Xu said, Liu Xie's heart was shocked, after all, Liu Xie, who was just about to show his strength, heard the news that Jia Xu was leaving, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from his head.
wanted to say something to leave Jia Xu behind, but at this time, Liu Xie couldn't say anything, could it be said that you don't want to keep filial piety and work for me?
"What about the end of filial piety?" After thinking about it, Liu Xie finally asked what was in his heart.
