The torches on the wall burned silently, occasionally crackling, and Sima Yi stared blankly at the wall in front of him with his chin in his hands. There, there was a very small iron door.

This is the file room of the North Hall of the Night Front, and the various files on the shelves in the house are all kinds of materials collected by the countless manpower and material resources of the Night Front.

Here, you can find everything recorded in the official history and the wild history, which covers all the history, geography, humanities, customs and even some unheard of strange people and wonders.

Since Sima Yi came to the Northern Yefeng, he has been deeply attracted by this ocean of knowledge, and spends all his time reading every day, except for routinely comparing a few martial arts.

The door to the dossier room was slowly pushed open, and an old man slowly walked in.

"Four Wise Elders." Sima Yi stood up and saluted.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite." As he spoke, the four sages motioned for Sima Yi to sit down, "What is Gongzi thinking just now?" ”

"Elder Xian, the students have been here for a few years, and they will come here every day to read books, but they ......" Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, looking back at the small iron door, "but I have always been curious, where is behind that door?" ”

The smiling faces of the four sages gradually showed a look of loss.

"Don't blame the virtuous elder, the student is just curious for a while, if he asks what is important, I hope the virtuous elder will forgive the sin." Sima Yi hurriedly bowed down and apologized.

"Alas, Childe is too careful. The old man just remembered some old things because of what the son asked. In fact, sooner or later, Childe will ask, or not, that period of history...... It's time to let Childe know. The four sages slowly walked to the iron door, slowly took out a key with a slightly trembling hand, and inserted it into the keyhole on the door.

With a slight sigh, the key slowly turned, and with a "click", the lock opened. The four sages stepped aside and motioned for Sima Yi to step forward and open it.

Sima Yi walked to the door slowly in confusion, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the doorknob, but stopped, his eyes were full of uneasiness, and he looked at the four sages.

The four sages nodded, and Sima Yi opened the iron door.

It should have been no one who had used it for many years, and as the iron door opened, the dust flew out, choking Sima Yi and coughing.

The four elders took off a torch from the wall and walked into the dark hut. Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and followed.

The space in the room is so small that even an adult can't lie down. In the middle of the room there was a stone platform on which a dust-covered iron box was placed.

Sixian gently wiped the dust on the box with his sleeve and slowly pushed the lid up.

Sima Yi looked through the light of the torch, and inside the box was a scroll. Unlike the other tablets, each piece of this book is made of iron, and the words on it must have been cast together when it was made. Although this iron scroll should have been sealed for many years, and there are rusts in many places, the words on it are still clearly visible.

The four sages handed the torch to Sima Yi and carefully took out the iron scroll, as if this was the most precious treasure in the world.

Sima Yi followed the four sages back to the file room, looking at the iron scroll that was placed on the table by the four sages, and didn't know what to say.

"Childe, please, this is my Yefeng's past." After speaking, the four sages smiled, took the torch in Sima Yi's hand and put it back on the wall, and then sat quietly to the side and stopped talking.

Sima Yi carefully opened the iron scroll slowly with his hand, making the sound of iron colliding, because the iron pieces were also connected by iron rings.

As the columns of words unfolded in front of Sima Yi's eyes, his mouth couldn't help but gradually open wide......

————————————————

During the Eastern Han Dynasty Huan and Ling Emperors, the people in power in the imperial court were divided into two factions: eunuchs and relatives, and the representatives of the eunuchs were Hou Lan, Cao Jie, Wang Fu, etc., who appointed private individuals to corrupt the government and bring disaster to the township; However, Dou Wu and others from the party of foreign relatives were relatively upright, and it was precisely because of this that the nobleman Li Ying, the students Guo Tai, Jia Biao and others united with the party of foreign relatives to fiercely attack the eunuch group.

These people were often referred to as scholars, which later became known as scholars. They were of noble character and were called gentlemen at that time, and the famous scholars at that time included "Three Gentlemen", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", "Eight Cooks" and so on.

In the ninth year of Yanxi (166 AD), the eunuchs Zhao Jin, Hou Lan and other henchmen committed crimes with Zhang Fan, Xu Xuan and others, and deliberately committed crimes before the amnesty, so that they could be exempted from the amnesty. However, at that time, upright officials such as Cheng Jin, Zhai Chao, Liu Zhen, Huang Fu and others were not afraid of the powerful, and still dealt with these guilty people according to the law after the amnesty. As a result, the eunuch faction framed Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhijin, and Emperor Huan listened to his words and punished these officials heavily.

Taiwei Chen Fan and Sikong Liu Mao jointly admonished Emperor Huan, which made Emperor Huan displeased. Liu Mao didn't dare to say anything more, but Chen Fan still wrote alone, defending the wronged officials, hoping that Emperor Huan would stop the eunuchs from messing with the government. This move was supported by most courtiers, officials and the common people, but they did not want these officials to be dismissed from their official positions, and some were even killed.

Emperor Huan was furious and issued an edict to arrest the party. Taiwei Chen Fan refused to sign the edict, but this did not prevent loyal people such as Li Ying from being arrested and sentenced.

Chen Fan wrote to advise again, but was dismissed by Emperor Huan, and at the same time was dismissed by Sikong Liu Mao.

In the second year, Emperor Huan Dou's father, Huaili Hou Dou Wu, wrote a letter to intercede for Li Ying and others. At the same time, the eunuch faction made a statement to Emperor Huan, saying that the time had come and that the world should be amnesty. In fact, the reason why they did this was only because Li Ying and others deliberately confessed to the eunuch's children in prison, and the eunuch was afraid of getting into trouble.

So Emperor Huan changed the Yuan Yong-Kang on June Gengshen Day of the same year and granted amnesty to the world. Li Ying and others were released, but they were only released to the fields and deposed for life.

This is the "first disaster of the party" in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And only a year later, Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty died, and Emperor Ling Liu Hong succeeded to the throne, honored Empress Dou as the empress dowager, appointed his father Dou Wu as the general, and was again appointed Chen Fan as the captain, and presided over the government together with Situ Huguang. Li Ying, Du Mi, Yin Xun, Liu Yu and others were also reinstated.

However, the eunuch faction headed by Cao Jie, Wang Fu and others flattered and served in front of the Empress Dowager Dou, causing the Empress Dowager Dou to give orders indiscriminately many times at their instigation.

Under the strong recommendation of Dou Wu and others, the eunuchs Guan Ba and Su Kang were executed, but the Empress Dowager Dou protected Cao Jie and other eunuch dignitaries, and did not want the scholars to punish them.

Dou Wu and others were ready to take advantage of the bad omen in the sky to get rid of the eunuchs Cao Jie and Wang Fu.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, Dou Wu went home on vacation, and the eunuch stole his folds and learned of the scholar's plan. So, they joined forces that night and staged a coup d'état.

Together with the emperor's nurse Zhao Rao, the eunuch deceived the young Emperor Ling, killed the eunuchs close to the scholars, snatched the seals, seals, charms, and festivals, coerced Shangshu to pass on the edict, kidnapped the Empress Dowager Dou, and ordered the hunt down of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others.

Taiwei Chen Fan led the crowd to resist, and was finally captured in Shangshumen because he was outnumbered and killed on the same day.

Dou Wu raised troops to fight, and the eunuchs and others falsely passed on the edict to deceive Zhang Huan, the Hun Zhonglang general who had just returned to Beijing, Zhang Huan mistakenly thought that Dou was in rebellion, so he and Shaofu Zhou Jing led five battalions of soldiers and more than 1,000 tiger army and Yulin army led by Wang Fu to attack Dou Wu together. Dou Wu was besieged and committed suicide in desperation, and many people related to him were also killed. Li Ying and others were dismissed again and imprisoned for life.

Chen Fan's friend Zhu Zhen was arrested for hiding Chen Fan's son Chen Yi's accusation, but although he was tortured, he swore to protect Chen Yi to the death, and Chen Yi was spared. Dou Wu's mansion Peng Hu Teng collected and buried his body for his funeral, and he was also imprisoned for life. Dou Wu's grandson Dou Fu was only two years old at the time, and Hu Teng pretended to be his son, and Dou Fu was spared.

Zhang Huan deeply hated that he was deceived by the eunuchs, killed the country's loyalty, refused to be rewarded, and asked to rehabilitate Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, welcome back the Empress Dowager Dou, and recommend Li Ying and others to serve as the third duke.

Just when Emperor Ling was about to agree to his suggestion, the eunuchs began to slander Emperor Ling, but instead Zhang Huan was held responsible, and he went to the court to be detained for several days and fined for three months. In the end, he was also dismissed and returned home, imprisoned for life.

Seeing that the reputation of Dou Wu, Chen Fan, Li Ying, Du Mi and others was still very high, the eunuch slandered Emperor Ling and framed the party members for wanting to rebel. Emperor Ling of Han, who was only fourteen years old at the time, was deceived by them and ordered to track down the Shiren Party.

Li Ying, Du Mi and others were arrested, and Zhang Jian, the postmaster of eastern Shanyang, who had previously written to impeach Hou Lan and his family, was forced to go into exile.

This is the "second scourge of the party."

And the history of Yefeng began at this time......

The rumbling thunder accompanied by the heavy rain made Luoyang look even more desolate at night.

He Xinghan wiped his face with his hand and whispered to the people around him: "General Zhang, how sure do you think this matter is?" ”

"It's very small, but this matter is a big mistake because of me, even if I know that I will die, I have to gamble." The man next to him said with a resolute face.

He is Zhang Huan, the general of the Huns who has been removed from his official position, although he was dismissed and returned to his hometown, but the anger in his chest can't come out anyway. His own reputation was ruined by a group of eunuchs.

After returning to his hometown, he lived in chagrin and remorse all day long, and it didn't take long for him to hear about the arrest of Li Ying and others and Zhang Jian's exile, so he contacted He Xinghan, a hero he had befriended in the past, and lurked back to Luoyang to prepare to rescue Li Ying and others with the help of him and his brothers.

Today coincided with a thunderstorm, and they happened to hide their whereabouts, so Zhang Huan and others launched this extremely difficult rescue in the night.

After several twists and turns, all these hundred and ten talents mixed into the city. There were not many soldiers patrolling the streets tonight, and of course, no one wanted to be drenched in the heavy rain and walk stupidly on the streets, but they were only forced to come out from time to time to suffer a crime by order.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, Zhang Huan glanced at He Xinghan and said, "Let's go." ”
