Standing servants, during the Qin and Han dynasties, said to be scattered and rode as the emperor's attendants, and the emperor's advisers were prepared to prepare the emperor's advisers, and the horses were scattered when they went out, in terms of nature, there was no difference between the standing servants at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the permanent servants were filled with eunuchs, and the original ten permanent servants were also expanded by the emperor to twelve, that is to say, there were only twelve positions in the regular waiters, and one less than one.

And in fact, the selection of personnel in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the middle chamber is also quite strict, such as several famous in history in the late Han Dynasty in the middle of the regular servant Wang Fu, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and even today's Dachangqiu Cao Jie are all old people who have been serving the emperor for decades, especially Cao Jie has been promoted to Xiaohuangmen since the early years of Emperor Shun, which is simply a loyal servant of the royal three. As for Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Wang Fu and many other middle attendants, they also held this position more than Emperor Huan, and their qualifications are profound, needless to say.

In fact, Wang Fu did not clearly mark the official position of the Zhongchang Servant in the list of official positions in the West Mansion, and the reason was naturally due to many considerations. Although the eunuch group also has their own thoughts, but after all, there are few people and weak people, and they are still sincerely united, even if there is a lack of position because of birth, old age, sickness and death, then there are also their own henchmen to make up for the loss, in a word, even if you want to sell this official position, you have to sell it to your own people, not to mention that everyone is healthy now, how can there be any shortage?

It's just that Wang Fu never expected that the only prince of the dynasty who was sent out of the palace by a few words of witchcraft would follow the little-known Shi Ziyan Shi Taoist, and he actually learned a little bit of the ability to look at the stars.

Last year's next year is this year, 179 A.D., the second year of Light.

Wang Fu never dreamed that just when he was carefully arranging and everything was in order, and he was ready to cultivate his political wings, his nemesis, Yang Qiu, the current captain of Sili School, Yang Fangzheng, was ready to do something to him.

Who is Yang Qiu? It was because of the official humiliation of his mother, Fang Zi dared to gather crowds to kill officials since he was a young man, and thanks to the Han Dynasty's filial piety, the humiliation of his mother and killing officials not only ruined Yangqiu's political career, but made him famous, and he was raised to filial piety at a young age.

Shi Situ Liu favored his filial piety, called him as a subordinate official, and sent him to Jiujiang Pingkou to make great contributions, and then was recalled to the center and worshiped as a councilor, so from then on, this ruthless man let go of cruel words to Wang Fu, Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others, the so-called: "If Yang Qiu is a subordinate, this Cao Zi can be tolerated?" ”

Now, Yang Qiu has become the captain of Sili, and before his ass is hot, he has not forgotten his old promise and began to plot to kill Cao Jie and Wang Fu.

Si Lixiaowei, formerly known as Crouching Tiger, is the prosecutor who supervises the Beijing Division and the surrounding places. He also led 1,200 officials and apprentices in the Central Capital to form a temporary armed force, and the rights in it were not insignificant.

This is a sword in the true sense, whether it is a scholar, a eunuch, or a relative, they all want to hold the sword in their hands all the time, for no more than three reasons, one is because the armed forces of this army are composed of disciples. Prisoners who are serving hard labor are large and concentrated, which is convenient for rapid assembly. The second is that the identity of this force is open but its role is hidden, and it can often be fatal with one blow, making it impossible to guard against it. The third and most important point is that this position can collect intelligence from the government and the opposition without restrictions, so once the subordinate makes a move, it is often because the intelligence is almost collected, and the crime is confirmed, even if he wants to, he can't rely on it.

And this time, this sword is clearly in the hands of the scholars.

In the second year of Guanghe, April 5, 179 A.D.

Si Li's lieutenant Yang Qiu, quickly gathered the officials and prisoners of Luozhong, a total of 1,200 people, and engaged in Zhu Lin each 600 people, before the time came, they surrounded the mansions of Cao Jie and Wang Fu.

When he often served Wang Fu, his son Yongle Shaofu Wang Meng was also in the house, smelling the movement, but also reacted quickly, gathered more than 500 family servants, climbed the high platform in the house to make an arrow tower, armed resistance.

Yang Qiu's hands are only six hundred, and the armor and weapons are not superior, it seems to be difficult to overcome, but he is worried about himself, but when he sees Zhu Lin leading the crowd from the west, he is puzzled, and he can't help but shout: "Is there something wrong with Cao Jie?" ”

Zhu Lin bowed his hand and said: "There is no one above Cao Jie's Mansion. ”

Yang Qiu couldn't understand for a while, why Cao was still in the mansion the night before the festival, so it was only a few hours, and the mansion was empty? But he heard Zhu Lin continue: "There is a person in Cao Jie's mansion, who claims to be He Tai guarding the door, and after waiting for a long time, Cao Jie has already entered the North Palace tonight. ”

"He Taishou? How did He Suigao know that I was going to do this? Yang Qiu was even more suspicious. But in any case, since He Jin deliberately arranged for someone to report to him, he is also a friend rather than an enemy, so there is no need to worry about it.

Yang Qiu was shocked, but said inexplicably: "If Cao Mengde is still in Luozhong, I don't know if I dare to kill Cao Jie with a cane?" ”

Cao Cao, when Cao Mengde was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang in the past, he was killed with a rod because of his uncle Jian Shuo, who was often serving Jian Shuo, because he tried to oppose the curfew.

However, everyone did not know what it was about, and they were all puzzled.

But I heard a shout and scolding from behind the door of Wang Fu's mansion: "Cao Hanfeng, an old slippery head, knew that there was such a change, but he didn't tell me, and he was angry with me!" ”

Wang Fu and Yang Qiu are now only separated by a mansion gate, but ten steps away, between the words are naturally heard clearly, clearly, hearing Wang Fu scolding, Yang Qiu couldn't help laughing: "Wang Fu, now you are weak, just a death, no more changes, if you can disarm and surrender, I Yang Qiu said to do it, I will spare you and your son's whole corpse, your family slaves, and you don't have to go to Huangquan with you." ”

Hearing a commotion behind the door, a clear voice shouted: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this person's name is Yangqiu, and he was a slave and servant with my Wang clan in the past, and now he will do this rebellious thing once he gains power, how can he believe such a villain's words?" ”

"The person who spoke is the thief Wang Meng?" Yang Qiu couldn't help sneering: "I, Yang Qiu, as the captain of Si Li, is loyal to the lord, and I am on the side of the king on the orders of the king, how can I be rebellious?" Rao is your Wang Meng, who recognizes the thief as his father, does a lot of evil, kills indiscriminately, and brings disaster to the world, today with your so stubborn and demagogic words, I Yang Qiu will smash your corpse on the spot and hang the corpse at the city gate! ”

But there was a sneer behind the door: "Yang Qiu, don't say more, it's been half an hour, if you were determined to attack, you would have already killed in, so ink acts, isn't it your Yang Fangzheng knife is unfavorable, or is my Wangfu Mansion too strong?" Listen to the strong man outside the door, my Wang Fu is a regular servant, and today he who is against the yang ball from me, forgive his sins and give him a hundred gold! ”

In this way, on the contrary, the crowd outside the door began to commotion, and a disciple on Zhu Lin's side actually came to Deyang Qiu and whispered: "Yang Gong, Wang Changshou is obviously prepared, we don't have any offensive equipment, let's forget it today." ”

Wang Fu heard it clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "The people outside the door left their names, and today, I, Wang Fu, will be prosperous and rich with you, and have a bright future!" ”

The man was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "The villain's name is ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold neck, and his head hit the ground heavily.

Yang Qiu wiped the knife with his sleeve, and when he landed on the brocade robe, Ling Ran shouted: "Today, if you want to retreat, you don't fight, there are such thieves." ”

After saying that, he inserted the knife into the sheath, let out a long whistle, and slammed the door with his body.

Seeing this, Zhu Lin and the disciples beside him also shouted angrily and slammed into it.

For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the people in the door did not dare to slack off, and all the servants or the top door, or the wooden branch door, the two most primitive forces were on both sides of the gate, and launched an extremely fierce confrontation.

Although there are a large number of disciples carried by Yang Qiu, they are embarrassed due to the terrain and the momentum of attacking the goal. First, because the gate is actually higher than the street and there are steps, it is difficult for the attacking side to achieve effective impact force, and often rushes up the steps and then hits the door, and the force has been unloaded by half. The second is because of the width of the door, resulting in a limited number of people per impact, even if there are more than 1,000 people behind them, but each impact is only seven or eight people's strength, and because the strength is less than half when climbing the steps to hit the door, so that the gatekeeper uses the strength of seven or eight people to resist the actual impact of three or four people, which is naturally extremely simple.

It was difficult to break through in front of the goal, so Yang Qiu had to find other ways to climb the wall after a little thought. However, because the crowd was in a hurry, and he thought that the victory was bound to be successful, he did not bring any climbing tools, so he could only climb people with people and climb the palace wall in the form of stacking arhats.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fu had already prepared, and the bow-wielding servant who had climbed the high platform early immediately opened his bow and arrows, and only shot the people who climbed the wall, and for a while he continued to wail and cry. I thought it was a simple house raid, but it didn't progress for an hour.

In addition, the apprentices have no combat effectiveness at all, and their individual combat ability is even inferior to Wang Fu's servants, and now they can't attack for a long time, with a lot of casualties, and they are even more demoralized and have no will to fight.

Yang Qiu was in a hurry, so he climbed the wall himself, and he was also hit by an arrow in his left shoulder.

The more anxious the yang ball, the more relieved Wang Fu is, seeing that the sky is getting white, as long as he can hold on for an hour, he does not expect Cao Jie to save him, his henchman in the palace Huangmen, Luozhong's relatives and friends will also help each other, as the so-called glory and loss, Wang Fu knows very well that as long as he survives the darkness before dawn, he will escape, and when the time comes, what do you care about the yang ball, the moon, is it just a meat ball?

Yang Qiu also understands that there is only one chance to kill Wang Fu, if he can't succeed this time, if he wants to kill this eunuch in the future, it will be impossible, but he was hit by an arrow, as if he couldn't attack the door in person, and he sat on the side of the road regardless of his identity, and shouted and scolded with all his vulgar words. Fortunately, there are no other mansions around the palace, and the dignified lieutenant is like a shrew, and no one knows about it.

Just when Yang Qiu was helpless, he saw a Taoist dressed in gray and white straight clothes personally leading dozens of strong people to rush here, Yang Qiu couldn't help but be surprised: "The reinforcements of the dog thief arrived so quickly!" ”

Zhu Lin looked for prestige and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It's not reinforcements, it's that person!" ”
