Liu Tao's dead duck had a hard mouth, and he made such a big move, and he happened to be heard by Situ Chen Tan, who wanted to come to see Liu Hong, who had just entered the palace gate.

Chen Tan, as Situ, is in charge of hundreds of civil and military officials, and it stands to reason that he is more suitable than Liu Tao, but Chen Tan is not here to impeach Zhang Rang and others.

Chen Tan's own official positions were all bought from Zhang Rang, and now above the court, the official positions of the three dukes, Taiwei and Sikong, only one person is in office, but Situ has two people in the same position.

Taiwei is Yuan Kui, Sikong is the newly promoted Cheng Yuanzhi, and Situ is Chen Tan and Yuan Shao's father Yuan Feng, who served together, one official and two people.

Liu Hong is selling his official position to collect money every day, and Chen Tan is worried that one day Liu Hong will take away Chen Tan's official position and sell it to newcomers. Especially at today's court meeting, the general He Jin actually showed the idea of wanting to be the third duke, so he had to do it.

No matter how hard Chen Tan is, he can't fight against He Jin, the butcher who is backed by Queen He.

Picking this time node to enter the palace, Chen Tan wanted to persuade Liu Hong to see if this official position could be fixed for a few years, not sold, and let everyone return to the original first.

As for asking Liu Hong to return the money, it is impossible to return the money, and it is impossible to return the money for a lifetime.

The money and goods are cleared, and then they are not recognized, and they are not returned or exchanged.

"Your Majesty, what did Liu Ji do? Are you going to push it out and cut it? ”

Chen Tan walked in front of Liu Hong and saw Liu Hong and Zhang Rang drinking, Liu Hong's face was not good, his face was dark, and Zhang Rang was in tears, it seemed that he had cried just now, and his makeup was spent.

Liu Hong picked up the wine glass, drank it all violently, his heart was irritable, these ministers didn't let out a fart at the court meeting during the day, but now it's good, all the birds are idle, and they came to disturb Liu Hong, Liu Hong had to say impatiently:

"Liu Tao spoke wildly, scolding me for being a faint king, scolding me for wanting to ruin the Han family, and also accusing and slandering my close servants, saying that selling officials is not good, do you think you should be beheaded?"

For the civil and military officials, Liu Hong is mostly clear, and knows that Situ's official position was also bought by Chen Tan with money, presumably Chen Tan will not oppose the sale of officials, otherwise Chen Tan would not even have the opportunity to face the saint, so he did not shy away from Chen Tan and bluntly said Liu Tao's fault.

Chen Tan heard it, and sure enough, it was a moth poked out by Zhang Rang and others, Chen Tan took advantage of Liu Tao's strength, took advantage of the situation, and stepped forward to admonish:

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the court have a lot of complaints about the Zhongchang servants and others, and the common people are even more miserable when they sell their officials and steal their money, and they even want to eat the flesh and blood of the ten permanent servants. The ten permanent servants are unarmed, the city gate has not come out, but all of them have been named princes, Your Majesty has not forgotten to seal the Yellow Turban, and plans to cooperate with the outside and rebel? I hope that Your Majesty can introspect himself, immediately stop selling officials and lords, and stay away from eunuchs, otherwise I am afraid that the country and society will collapse and destroy invisibly. ”

As soon as Chen Tan came up, he first gave the Ten Standing Servants a map cannon, especially Na Feng Zhen collected a large amount of money from Zhang Jiao and colluded with the Yellow Turban to talk about things.

In the final analysis, what Chen Tan wants is for Liu Hong not to sell his official position, so that Chen Tan's official position can be retained.

In fact, the eunuch is greedy for money, and Feng Zhen is just an unlucky ghost, even if Zhang Jiao gives the money to Zhang Rang, the first of the Zhongchang servants, presumably Zhang Rang will reach out and secretly accept it, at least whether he will help rebel, that is another matter.

Liu Hong frowned, how could Situ Chen Tan be as unenlightened as Liu Tao, could it be that because of one seal, did Liu Hong want Liu Hong to remove all ten of the permanent attendants?

Then who will serve Liu Hong then? Would Chen Tan be willing to enter the palace and replace Zhang Rang? Definitely not, Chen Tan's advice clearly still wants Liu Hong to become a lonely person with no one to wait.

How can this work?

"Chen Situ, it's an exaggeration. It is true that Feng Zhen colluded with the Yellow Turban to collect money, but the matter of Feng Zhen causing chaos is still inconclusive. Besides, aren't there one or two loyal ministers among the ten middle servants? Chen Situ is a partial generalization and cannot be used. I'm tired, Chen Situ retreat. ”

It is absolutely impossible to stop selling officials, even if the business of selling officials is in full swing, Liu Hong is often short of money, if he really stops this business, who will give Liu Hong money? All the civil and military officials are counting on the official positions they bought to return to their roots, and Liu Hong can't rely on them.

Liu Hong simply kept his mouth shut and did not mention the matter of selling officials, and only used the loyalty of the Zhongchang servant to block Chen Tan's mouth.

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs interfere in the government affairs, sell officials and greed for money, and sell more than one official, which is really the way to take trouble, and the minister begs His Majesty to let the Zhongchang attendants hand over the power of selling officials and hand them over to the three princes of the court, no longer blindly looking at money, mainly selecting talented people from the court, and accumulating money as a supplement, so that the courtiers are not subject to the checks and balances of the eunuchs, and can also let the virtuous ministers be used by His Majesty."

In the final analysis, Chen Tan is still a matter of money.

However, as soon as Chen Tan finished speaking, Liu Hong gave it a no.

The matter of selling officials, except for Zhang Rang, is really not good to hand it over to others.

Like Taiwei and Situ are all members of the Yuan family, if Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui were willing to make money for Liu Hong, they would have given away Yuan's money a long time ago, so why bother to have protégés all over the world, engage in the love of teachers and students, and collect money for teaching.

It can be said that Zhang Rang sold all official positions with heads and faces, and most of those adjutant deputy positions were sold secretly by Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, but they were not very obvious.

In general operation, people who want to be officials go to Yuan's family to vote for their names, claiming to be protégés, and then they are recommended by Taiwei Yuan Kui and Situ Yuan Feng, and recommended to various places as officials.

Most of the people sold by the Yuan family were magistrates, petty officials and small positions, and they couldn't sell for a few dollars, and Liu Hong didn't bother to bother with the Yuan family.

Now Chen Tan wants to hand over the bulk of the business of selling officials to the third duke, unless Liu Hong has a good brain, how can he agree.

Liu Hong held the wine glass in his hand, looked at Chen Tan's banter, and said with a smile:

"Chen Situ, in the past, the official admonished each other with death, dare to ask Chen Situ if he can effectively imitate the heart?"

Liu Hong wished that Chen Tan would be killed by a head, so that he would save a fortune, although Chen Tan was dead, Situ's position could not be vacant, but one less radish did not occupy the pit, Liu Hong was still willing to see it.

Chen Tan was provoked by Liu Hong, he couldn't lose face, he couldn't think about it for a while, and he really hit the corner of the table where Liu Hong was drinking, Chen Tan thought that Liu Hong would call someone to stop Chen Tan, but no.

Bang!

The skull hit the corner of the stone table, and there was a fierce collision sound, Chen Tan's head instantly broke and flowed bloody, and it was bloody, so painful that Chen Tan called his mother in his heart, and his mouth was bitter again and again.

Chen Tan was so unbearable that Liu Hong was disgusted for a while, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, waved his hand, scolded the warriors on the left and right, and said:

"What are you doing in a daze, wanting to admit punishment together? If you don't let me go down, what kind of system will it become. ”
