There is a very strange logic in their hearts: "The rewards received by the meritorious people of the Yellow Turban Army are all rewarded from the emperor, which is that the emperor is satisfied with your contributions, happy, and rewarded you, but now the emperor is in need, as a courtier, especially the rewarded courtiers, you should be loyal to the emperor, and you must repay your kindness, and then take the initiative to hand the reward back." ”

Although this kind of rhetoric seems reasonable on the surface, it is all the emperor's thing, but it just changes hands back and forth between different people, but in fact, they ignore the contributions made by the soldiers for the Ling Emperor or for the Han Dynasty, those days and nights of marching, bloody battles on the battlefield, in the selfish hearts of the ten permanent servants, these have never existed, or it may be because they have lived in the deep palace for a long time and have not seen the cruelty of the battlefield, so this incident has had a very serious impact on the leadership of the royal family in the army.

But the ten permanent servants don't care about this, they are not in charge of the army, as long as the money is gathered, the emperor is happy, who dares to do anything to himself. No matter how much effort you put in or whether you have children to raise at home, you have to hand them over. So the ten permanent servants used their favorite way to collect money before, that is, selling officials, because of the number of times they did it, so that the method of coercion and temptation was used to perfection, and even in the face of some low-ranking officials, they didn't bother to set up reasons, if they didn't pay or paid less, they would be immediately demoted or dismissed.

Zhang Ze was not included in the list of the ten permanent servants this time, after all, he had taken the initiative to hand over so much gold and silver, but when Zhang Ze knew the news, he began to feel uneasy, not worried that he would be targeted by officials from other groups, nor was he worried that the increase rate of his reputation value would decrease, Zhang Ze was most worried about others at this time, it was his first and only mentor in this world, Huang Fu Song.

Others may not understand, but Zhang Ze can be said to be a person who knows Huang Fu Song's character, during the period of studying with Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song, whether it is the upright atmosphere exuded by his speech and demeanor all the time, or the subconscious straightforwardness in the arrangement of troops, reminds Zhang Ze that his teacher Huang Fu Song is definitely going to fight against the Ten Standing Servants this time.

If it was put before, Zhang Ze would never worry about what this group of eunuchs would do to his teacher, but this time it is different that this group of eunuchs has dared to attack the behemoth of the army, and for Huangfu Song, a general, in order to make an example of chickens and monkeys, he will naturally not be soft, after all, now the emperor has basically acquiesced to this matter.

This time, if the emperor Fu Song is against the ten permanent servants, it is equivalent to directly setting up a ring with the emperor to fight alone, if it is above the court, the civil and military officials can cover each other with one mouth, the emperor is afraid of the hundred officials or dare not do anything out of the ordinary, but if it is single-handedly and directly face to face with the emperor, under this feudal hierarchy, there is no good end to the emperor's tough people in the end, which is a historical necessity.

The more Zhang Ze thought about it in his heart, the more scared he became, if his teacher was finally imprisoned, according to his character, he would definitely do whatever it took to gather troops to openly rebel and rescue Huangfu Song, but his current strength was too weak, and Zhang Ze, who didn't want things to progress like this, hurriedly rode to Huangfu Song's mansion.

"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing our Mr. Zhang Ze over today." As soon as Huangfu Song heard that the housekeeper was coming, he missed his student very much after not seeing him for a long time, so he came out of the study to greet him.

Seeing Huangfu Song, Zhang Ze was also happy in his heart, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he really missed this teacher who helped him a lot.

"Why didn't you bring wine this time, now I can't even grab a few jars of your wine, and I don't know how many jars to send to the teacher."

"Teacher, don't make fun of the boy, this time the student came here to discuss something with the master." Since the matter is slightly urgent, and I don't know if the Ten Standing Servants have already started to act, Zhang Ze plans to get straight to the point.

Seeing Zhang Ze's serious expression, Huangfu Song also straightened his face, "You kid is so clever, if there is anything that can't be solved, come to the master, go to the study and say." ”

The two of them came to the study one after the other.

"Teacher, have you heard about the matter of the ten permanent servants, have any eunuchs come to the door to ask for money recently?"

"I know, this group of dog mongrels who slandered and dared to come to my house to ask for money, and I beat them out with a stick, is this what you are doing?" Huangfu Song lost interest when he heard that Zhang Ze was for such a thing.

Zhang Ze was very anxious when he heard this.

"This time is different from the previous situation, this time the emperor acquiesced, teacher, it's just a little money, you can't leave it to the ten permanent servants to threaten you."

"I don't care if I don't have a handle, I don't care even if I am exempted from my official position, Zhang Ze, you listen well, for the generals, you should broaden your horizons a little, don't just care about what you have now, those soldiers are our roots, they are not easy one by one, go into battle to kill the enemy and spill their blood, the rewards that they have finally obtained cannot be handed back like this, they all have a family to support, if they can, what does it matter if I carry it alone?"

Huangfu Song's words were impassioned, which made Zhang Ze fall into deep thought, although what his teacher said was right, but if the military power was handed over to others because of this matter, and even if the ten permanent servants directly obtained the military power, what kind of treatment would those soldiers who did not pay the money get.

So Zhang Ze explained his thoughts to Huangfu Song again.

"No, I have already discussed with Zhu Jun and the others, we will go to see Your Majesty early tomorrow morning, and with our previous merits, we will exchange our position for the emperor's protection of these soldiers, which can still be done, so that not only will we help the soldiers keep the money, but also restore Your Majesty's leadership in the army, so that the soldiers will only target the ten permanent servants, and such a big man will become longer."

After saying this, Huangfu Song stood up and gently patted Zhang Ze's shoulder and said: "Remember, for the generals, the soldiers must be heavy, and the loyalty of these soldiers will be there, so the Han will be there, don't forget the interests of the entire Han because you think too much about your own gains and losses." ”

After that, Huangfu Song turned around with his hands behind his back, slowly moved to the window, looked up at the sky, although his eyes were firm and bright, but who should he tell about the vicissitudes and sadness hidden in his depths?

"Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been cold, and their temples are white, so they undress and return to the field, and leave their merits to future generations to talk about."
