Volume II, Chapter 11: The Yellow Turban
In the past few years, Liu Wei not only built a righteous house to help pacify the displaced people, but also opened a school in his palace to teach the eunuchs some modern health knowledge, and sent the eunuchs to the gathering places around Luoyang to popularize health knowledge and reduce the social harm caused by the epidemic.
At the end of the sixth year of Guanghe (183 AD), just one month after Shi Ziyi left Luoyang, nominally was demoted, and went to Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County as the county order, Feng Yu and Xu Feng, who replaced him as the middle attendant, were suddenly arrested by Emperor Liu Hong's edict and imprisoned.
Tang Zhou Qiren, is a controversial figure, later history books, his person is one of the disciples of the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao, even in the core members of the Yellow Turban Rebel Army, should be regarded as a middle and senior general, but this person, turned out to be a super traitor in the Yellow Turban Rebel Army, suddenly reported the Taiping Dao uprising plan to the imperial court, which directly led to the Taiping Dao uprising plan change, lost the opportunity, from the perspective of the imperial court, this product is naturally a great contribution, but from the perspective of the Taiping Dao, This man is really a big.
And in the time and space where Liu Wei was, this person named Tang Zhou actually arrived as scheduled.
Liu Wei has been in this time and space for eight years, although there are no henchmen around him except Shi Ziyi, but as the prince of the prince, there are many loyal eunuchs who are responsible for serving his daily life, and for obtaining information from all parties in the forbidden and even in the court, these eunuchs are really good hands, and Tang Zhou's report of the Taiping Dao rebellion is actually not a secret, Liu Wei naturally knows all the beginnings and ends.
The person in charge of reporting is the little yellow gate who once followed Shi Ziyi to serve Liu Wei, that is, the eunuch who performed well in the rescue plan for Shi Ziyi, and now Shi Ziyi has gone to Jiuyuan and was demoted to a county order, and Feng Zhen and Xu Feng were exempted from prison for colluding with Taiping Dao.
Liu Wei suspected that his name Hu Xuan was difficult to remember, and specially asked the emperor Liu Hong to give the name "Wei" and the word "Xiao Hua" to his person, the name Hu Wei, Hu Xiaohua, this is only more than 20 years old, the official rank of 600 stone of the small yellow door, now it has changed, and it has become the youngest in the Luoyang Palace, which can also be said to be extremely honored.
"As His Royal Highness expected, the Taiping Dao thief is really going to be reversed, and the minister also heard that the Tiangong general Zhang Jiao can summon a million heavenly soldiers with a paper charm, and the general Zhang Liang can also invite 100,000 ghost pawns with a bowl of talisman water, I'm afraid this big man ......" Although Hu Wei is now a regular servant, his words are still the same, and he has not gotten rid of the problem of liking to exaggerate.
Liu Weiwu flipped through the "Taiping Sutra" in his hand, and asked without raising his head: "I'm afraid of what?" What about the big man? ”
"I'm afraid that the big man will not be able to escape this catastrophe."
Liu Wei's hand paused for a moment, glanced up at Hu Wei slightly, and snorted coldly: "You, you only dare to say this in front of me, the big man wants to finish such a thing, and say it to anyone in the court."
Listen, not only is your Hu Xiaohua's head not protected, but even your brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles have to obediently take off this master's head. ”
"Your Highness is clear and magnanimous, and has never taboo these ministers understand in their hearts, these words, the ministers stopped in their ears, and naturally they didn't dare to hide anything in front of Your Highness." Hu Wei laughed a few times and replied according to his words.
"Who did you listen to? Tang Zhou? ”
"Yes, but no?"
"Fart!" When Liu Wei heard this, he shouted violently, and threw the bamboo scroll with the "Taiping Sutra" on the case on Hu Wei: "You are a bullshit eunuch, what is not good to learn, you have to learn that black-faced Xu Yu to show off the truth here, whether you listen to Tang Zhou or not, you tell me clearly, if there is any ambiguity, I will ask Your Majesty to punish you for half a year." ”
Hu Wei was very aggrieved, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness is angry, the minister is by no means selling truth in front of His Highness, but in the past few days, the minister has searched for the east, west, north and south of Luoyang City, and taken care of countless court officials, but I really haven't found the person named Tang Zhou!" ”
"Didn't find it?" Liu Wei looked puzzled, and a pair of sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Then why do you need to say anything and nothing, since you haven't found Tang Zhou, then you haven't listened to Tang Zhou, your previous words, could it be that you want to trick me?" ”
Hu Wei kowtowed again and again, claiming to be wronged, and when he saw that Liu Wei did not punish him, he explained: "The minister actually listened to what Feng Yu said. ”
"Sealed?"
"Yes!" Hu Wei was overjoyed, hurriedly knelt down and climbed two steps forward, leaned in front of Liu Wei and said softly: "Your Highness doesn't know, in the past, when the ministers were still Xiaohuangmen, and when they were named Huangmen Shilang, we had a very personal relationship. ”
Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, and laughed softly: "You are also smart, but aren't you afraid that this thief will deceive you?" ”
"Absolutely not!" Hu Wei waved his hand violently and said: "Feng Yu this person, his temperament is excellent, this time he just did something wrong, and he ended up like this, if he can follow His Highness as soon as possible, the position of the permanent attendant, the minister will never be able to do it." ”
Liu Wei smiled even more: "You are self-aware. ”
"The minister promised to be entitled, and after he was punished for his crimes, I should properly serve and take care of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in his hometown in the border county, so he told me all the conspiracies with Tang Zhou."
Liu Wei snorted coldly and said, "Since you are so concerned about your family relatives, why do you want to vote for the Taiping Dao." And now they have ended up in such a field. ”
"Your Highness doesn't know, this Taiping Dao is really amazing! If it weren't for the loyalty of the minister and His Royal Highness, I am afraid that today's words in prison and Feng Zhen, the minister would also go to the Taiping Road! Hu Wei paused, finally sighed, and said softly.
"Oh? What did he say? Although Liu Wei already had some answers to Feng Wei's words in his heart, he suddenly heard Hu Wei's heartfelt words, but he was curious, so he asked this question.
Hu Wei's face was full of pride, and he leaned over the case mysteriously and asked, "Your Highness, do you know what year next year it is?" ”
"If you want to mark it by the year, it should be the seventh year of light and the earth, and if you want to mark it with the heavenly and earthly branches, it will be the year of Jiazi." Liu Wei didn't think about it, and replied casually.
"Your Highness, do you know that what this Taiping Dao wants to do is in this Jiazi year?"
Liu Wei was impatient, crossed his arms and leaned on the case, looking at Hu Wei at a loss: "The so-called sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky." Such words, even the yellow-mouthed children in the neighborhood of Luozhong will also memorize it, do you think I know? ”
Hu Wei smiled awkwardly, suddenly reined in his demeanor, and asked extremely mysteriously: "Then can Your Highness know which month and day of the Jiazi year what Taiping Dao wants to do?" ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he was stunned on the spot. In Liu Wei's memory, the Yellow Turban Rebellion seems to have been in February 184 AD, but it was the day when the Tang and Zhou dynasties leaked secrets in advance, and as for what day the plan was, Liu Wei had never understood and studied, and of course he never thought about it.
Seeing that Liu Wei was stunned, Hu Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked himself: "It's March Jiazi Day!" ”
"There will be Jiazi Day in March next year?" Liu Bian's heart was stunned and he muttered to himself.
It is necessary to know that in ancient China, the Ganzhi calendar, the coming Jiazi year is a reincarnation of 60 years, and "Jia" is the head of the ten heavenly stems, and "Zi" is the head of the twelve earthly branches, so the Jiazi year is often defined by people as the beginning of a new cycle.
After all, everyone in this era is superstitious, and from ancient times to the present, the beautiful meaning given to this pair of nails is impossible for anyone to refuse.
"In addition to that, there are words in the seal."
"Come on!"
"It was Chen Shengwu Guangze Township uprising, but there were only a thousand people; When Gaozu slew the White Snake, there were only 2,000 people; It is the uprising of the Green Forest Army before the new reckless usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and the efforts of several months are less than 10,000 people, and today the Tiangong General Zhang Jiao has been planning for ten years, connecting the eight states of the world with 30 cubic meters, leading millions of people, destroying the Han Dynasty, and restoring the Yellow Sky, which has long been between the palms. ”
"A million farts!" Liu Wei scolded, slammed his palm on the table in front of him, and got up suddenly, startling Hu Wei for a while, and jumped up with it. "There are 36 parties of all sizes, the number of people is not more than 10,000, the number of people is only 1,000, and the total number of 00 is all combined, there are only about 300,000 people, how can you say one million?"
Hu Wei couldn't help but be embarrassed: "In short, there are still a lot, and we have never had so many sergeants in the Han Dynasty." ”
Liu Wei couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes were full of disdain.
Hu Wei ignored it and continued: "Feng Yu also said that Zhang Jiao made a unanimous order. ”
"Cangtian, Huangtian, Jiazi, Dajiyi?"
Hu Wei nodded, and said again: "I also agreed on the color of the clothes." ”
"Why don't you just wrap a yellow cloth around your head? What else could there be? These hungry leaders don't even have to wear hemp pleats and hemp hakama, and what kind of uniform clothing can they have. ”
Hu Wei laughed dryly and asked, "In this way, Your Highness can know why this Taiping Daoist has to choose a yellow cloth to wrap his head, instead of using any red cloth, white cloth?" ”
"Feng Zhenlian told you this?" When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Highness doesn't want to be so contemptuous, the minister thinks that this is the most important thing, if Your Highness doesn't know, you should listen to it." Hu Wei had a rare serious look and said solemnly.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
