Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward and agreed: "The kid has always admired Zhu Gong's personality. ”

After saying that, he arched his hand and made a big gift to Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun received a great gift from the prince, and Rao is temper has subsided a little bit in nature.

"Ah Wei said that he was here to discuss military and political affairs, but is there anything he wants to discuss with us?" Liu Hong took advantage of the situation and asked.

"Your Majesty, the retainers really have important matters that they want to discuss with your lieutenant generals." Liu Wei turned around and replied calmly: "In addition, there is also something to discuss with Your Majesty. ”

Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand, signaling Liu Wei to speak on his own.

Liu Wei said at this time: "Huangfu Gong, Lu Gong, Zhu Gong, today the kid broke into the palace and offended, and apologized first." After that, Liu Weiji solemnly bowed deeply to the three lieutenant generals.

Seeing this, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun also returned the salute together.

"The reason why the kid has this collision today is because what he said is very important, and he can't say anything unless His Majesty is the princess." Liu Wei said calmly: "In the past, when the former kid heard about the military discussion in front of His Majesty's hall, he had already snooped, but he didn't see the princes, so he didn't rush in. ”

Liu Hong was surprised when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yan, you have never told me about these reasons, what?" Why is it so secret, but I can't say anything? ”

Liu Wei laughed dryly, and hurriedly explained: "Naturally, it can be said to Your Majesty, and what the ministers want to say is actually no different from what the princes say, but it is a rebellion of the Taiping Dao." ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he asked aloud: "Your Highness refers to the Taiping Dao rebellion, what can't you say?" Isn't this already known to the whole world? ”

"Taiping Dao's plot and intention to rebel are naturally known to the world." Liu Wei shook his head and said to himself: "It is the person who colluded with the Taiping Dao rebellion, and he has another background. ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Zhishu smiled and listened.

"Everyone in the world knows that the person who communicates the Taiping Dao between the DPRK and China is the two permanent servants of the forbidden Zhongfeng and Xu Feng."

"As far as the minister knows, there are also Shi Changshou." Zhu Jun interrupted.

Liu Wei was noncommittal, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, what Zhu Gong said is extremely true, the so-called Shi Ziyi colluded with Taiping Dao, even if the displaced people rebelled and changed, it was caught by Yuan Sili. ”

Zhu Jun snorted coldly and said: "The minister heard that this Shi Chang was actually rescued from prison for someone, and now he has gone to the border and went to Jiuyuan County to be the county magistrate!" ”

"Zhu Gong, if I want to say that Shi Changshi has no collusion with Taiping Dao, the real person who is colluded is Yuan Sili, can you believe it?"

As soon as these words came out, the four people present changed their colors in unison, and Zhu Jun shouted angrily: "It's ridiculous, is it possible that His Highness's so-called secret thing is that Yuan Sili colluded with Taiping Dao to rebel?" ”

Huangfu Song also said loudly: "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Ruyang, how can there be such unbearable deeds, Your Highness should not be provoked by thieves, and blame the good people." ”

Even Liu Hong, who was seated, shook his head again and again, realizing that Liu Wei's words were really unbelievable and impossible.

Liu Wei was not anxious, and instead asked Huangfu Song: "Huangfu Gong, as I expected, you have had dealings with Yuan Sili in Luoding this time, right?" I don't have any contact with him, so I guess I have had some conversations with his guests, right? ”

Huangfu Song said calmly: "There is nothing to say about this matter, Yuan Si is a guest friend, Nanyang Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan, and he has had a talk with his ministers. ”

"I see." Liu Wei paced back and forth around Huangfu Song and said, "I wonder if Huangfu Gonggong has ever told His Majesty about this today?" ”

"Not yet."

When Liu Hong heard this, he hurriedly interrupted: "Then Xu Yu and Huangfu Zhonglang's private remarks, how do you need to tell me, Ah Bian, this is yours, is it not yours, is I such a serious and cruel emperor?" ”

Huangfu Song took three steps forward, saluted Liu Hong and said: "This matter should be known to Your Majesty, the minister originally intended to tell His Majesty about this matter after this military discussion, but now that His Royal Highness mentioned it, the minister said so." ”

"You don't have to, you don't have to!" Liu Hong stood up anxiously, stepped forward a few steps, and supported Huangfu Song and said, "If Huangfu Zhonglang really wants to talk to me, then won't I become a serious and fierce emperor?" I can't say it, I can't say it. ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he retreated three steps back in vain, got rid of Liu Hong's support, and knelt down sharply and said: "Conquer the Taiping Road traitors, just when the court is employing people, the minister implores Your Majesty to remove the party!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked. It was Emperor Liu Hong, who was stunned for a long time, and often sighed and didn't say anything.

In layman's terms, party control is the phenomenon of prohibiting certain political friends from participating in politics. The party in the Eastern Han Dynasty was only the administrative measures of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, that is, what Liu Hong and his emperor Liu Zhi did.

This so-called political friend party is the bureaucratic scholar who is opposed to the eunuchs in this era, and the party policy is the biggest reason why the scholars do not like eunuchs.

From the later historical records, it is known that the court power game of the Eastern Han Dynasty was only the imperial power, relatives, and scholars. As an extension of the power of the imperial power, the power of eunuchs is actually understandable, because the emperor wants to closely control the power of the state, so the reuse of eunuchs is the most effective, direct and simple means.

Such a method will inevitably produce irreconcilable contradictions with the scholar group, which nominally adheres to the concept of loyalty and patriotism, but in fact attaches more importance to the politics of the hypocrite, which is unacceptable to any emperor.

If the emperor himself is clever and capable, there will naturally be a more appropriate way to relieve the pressure brought by the scholar group, but if the emperor himself has mediocre qualifications, then he can only use relatively extreme methods to save the imperial power.

On the whole, Emperor Liu Zhixing was very restrained in this matter, and its purpose was only to use the eunuchs to oppose the excessive seizure of power by the scholars, and more like such a way to negotiate with the scholar class and divide power.

But when it came to the second party election, the practice was too harsh.

Emperor Shi Huan died, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and Dou Wu became the general. Dou Wu because of the eldest daughter into the palace for the queen of Emperor Huan and a relative, his person "more famous people, clean the body and evil, the courtesy and bribery are not clear, and the wife's food and clothing are sufficient", it can be said that he is a person who is extremely clear, and often gives the royal reward to the students, and buys food to relieve the head of Qian, if such a person is placed in the peaceful and prosperous world, it is a saint, and often such a person is also a deep hatred for the eunuchs who do evil.

There is no doubt that Dou Wu opposed the eunuchs' control of the government, and naturally supported the party group, the first party disaster, Dou Wu had no way to rescue the party people, and the people were full of grief and indignation, so after the emperor Liu Hong ascended the throne, he immediately appointed Chen Fan as the prince, and at the same time appointed many party celebrities, and the power of the party group gradually grew.

But at the same time, the power of the eunuch group is also strong, when Cao Jie and Wang Fu favored Liu Hong, the power was monstrous, which deeply caused Chen Fan's uneasiness, so he wrote to the Empress Dowager Dou to ask for the removal of the eunuchs, and the Empress Dowager Dou was in the forbidden, dealing with the eunuchs all day long, so naturally she could not agree to Chen Fan's request, so Chen Fan united with the general Dou Wu and conspired to punish the eunuchs.

But this series of plans failed due to the hesitation and partiality of the Empress Dowager Dou, Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others found the clue and immediately launched a counterattack, imploring Liu Hong to issue an edict to arrest Dou Wu, put the Empress Dowager Dou under house arrest, Dou Wu failed, and even committed suicide. Chen Fan and his subordinates and students resisted, but to no avail, and were soon defeated by the eunuchs, and countless people died in prison.

This also began the second disaster of the party.

From the defeat of Dou Wu and Chen Fan's eunuchs to the current emperor's kneel and admonishment, the second disaster of the party has lasted for 16 years. During this period, most of the large and small eunuch measures were won by the eunuchs and failed to achieve great things.

This is naturally indispensable to the deliberate partiality and absolute support of the emperor Liu Hong, just as Liu Hong argued with Liu in the past, but the eunuch is actually the emperor's minions, that is, the people of the world want to punish the eunuch, as the Son of Heaven, it is absolutely impossible to punish the eunuch, which can be seen.

Therefore, Huangfu Song said frankly and clearly that he asked Emperor Liu Hong to relieve the party, which really frightened Zhu Jun, stunned Lu Zhi, and even stupidized Liu Hong.

For a while, there was no sound in the hall, and the silence was terrible.

The person who broke the silence seemed to have always been Liu Wei, but when he walked to the side of Huangfu Song, he also knelt down and bowed, and said: "Erchen also implores Your Majesty to remove the party." ”

This remark stunned Zhu Jun, stupidized Lu Zhi, but also frightened Liu Hong.

"How did Ah Argue come up with this? But have you forgotten the words I said to you in the past? ”

"What Your Majesty and your sons said, I will remember every word in my heart, and I will never dare to forget it." Liu Wei still knelt on the ground, straightened his upper body, and said: "It's that many eunuchs are unscrupulous and afraid of death, and they are useless to quell rebellion and chaos." If Your Majesty can't lift the party, the sons are only afraid that it will chill the hearts of the party members in the world, if the wise people vote for the Taiping Road anti-thief, then this big man is really difficult to show! ”

Lu Zhi, who was standing on the side, heard Liu Wei's words, his heart was excited, and he couldn't help but praise him: "There is still His Royal Highness in the Han Dynasty, and the day of Zhaozhao can be expected." ”

Liu Hong sighed and was speechless, just stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, and looked at Liu Wei blankly.

"The minister also implores His Majesty to remove the party from the party." Lu Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the sound of his words was proud.

"The minister also implores His Majesty to remove the party!" When the atmosphere arrived, the red-faced general Zhu Jun only felt that his eyes were hanging, and his voice was extremely loud, resounding throughout the hall.

Emperor Liu Hong looked at the three Zhonglang generals in front of him, as well as the baby son who was distressed to death since he came down from the first Yong'an Houtai, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, that's it, let's talk about Yuan Shao's collusion with Taiping Dao." ”
