Chapter 17: Hearing of the Newcomer (Part I)
Regardless of whether others admit it or not, after the first year of Guanghe, Luoyang actually entered a rare period of political stability.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, but in essence, it is more because after the great political tide at the end of Xiping and the beginning of Guanghe, almost all forces are unwilling and do not have the strength to make waves easily.
Wang Fu died, and most of the main forces of the old eunuchs disappeared, but Cao Jie did not retreat but advanced, and still sat firmly in the position of the leader of the eunuchs, and the recovering ruler also changed his previous strength, and he really had a bit of dignity in his behavior, which was quite commendable;
Yuan Feng died, and the Yang family seemed to be the dominant family, but now he is firmly in the position of Taiwei, and the leader of the clan who is obviously accepted by the court is Liu Kuan, who is loved by everyone, and he and the leader of Cao Jie, the court, do have a feeling of complementing each other;
Empress Song also died, and the old lord's power was also dispersed, but the Son of Heaven regretted his behavior that day, and recently gradually relaxed the official position of the old lord that day, and according to the grapevine, he once dreamed that Empress Song and Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, questioned him in a dream, and after waking up from a nightmare, he actually did not look for the eunuch, but found Yulin Xu Yong, who was on duty outside the palace, to ask about it......
Of course, although the situation is stable for the time being, anyone who understands it can see that this stability and peace will not last long.
First of all, Cao Jie's health is not good, a few years ago, he almost went to see the king of Youdu, this time it may not be known how many years it can last, the eunuch forces will sooner or later be the leaders of the greedy Zhang Rang and the mean Zhao Zhong, and the situation after the power of the court falls into the hands of these people is also worrying;
Secondly, Liu Kuan looks flawless, but the position of the three princes is already impermanent, and a solar eclipse and a plague will lead to a reshuffle situation, and he, the leader, has always been unstable, not to mention Yang Ci, that is, the children of the next generation of the Gong clan such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yang Biao are also growing rapidly, and they are becoming more and more rampant......
In addition to this, a new force is also emerging.
may not want to make trouble again, or it may be guilty of Empress Song, the Son of Heaven is not in a hurry to appoint He Gui as the queen, but this is destined to not last long. Moreover, He Guiren's brother He Jin, who used to be a butcher in Nanyang, has now been transferred from the post of General Huben Zhonglang to Yingchuan Taishou. Everyone knew that once He Guiren became queen, this Nanyang butcher would return to Luoyang, and he would quickly become a pole of political power in accordance with the political tradition of this dynasty.
However, no matter what the others are, the most important point is actually the great Han Tianzi who is in the center of the world. After gaining political dominance, this young genius in his twenties was not able to cheer up and do something promising, as his supporters had imagined, but instead became more and more indulged in pleasure and money......
It was the time when he had a nightmare that day, when Xu Yong, the left eunuch of Yulin, complained for the queen, the son of heaven was silent on the spot, but early the next morning, he was still enjoying himself in the West Garden, and he was the same as before.
In all fairness, in a centralized country, no matter how hard others work and how stable the political situation is, as long as this person is still ruining the situation, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to go in a good direction.
"The king of Jizhou has written in the history of the assassination, since he is old and weak, he has been sick for a long time, he can't look at things, and he is afraid of losing the emperor's grace ......"
In the afternoon, in the Shangshu Order in Zhongtai, the white-haired Cao Jie was slowly narrating Wang Fang's resignation and this person's last admonition to the Son of Heaven in the resignation.
And around Cao Jie, as always, it was full of central and powerful people in this empire.
No way, no matter who it is, Jizhou Thorn History is by no means a position that can be easily given up...... It is the hinterland of Hebei, and it is also one of the two foundations of the empire, with nine counties, vast and dense, and the energy of an outstanding Jizhou assassin history is enough to make anyone jealous, and it is enough to make any political force salivate.
To be reasonable, Gongsun Xun must thank Wang Fang, this person's resignation not only temporarily avoided the immediate disposal of his unauthorized killing by the Jizhou Assassination History Department, but also made some angry people in the center have to temporarily put aside this matter.
After all, the death of a guilty county magistrate, although the death method seriously violated the rules of officialdom and Shilin customs, it is still not worth mentioning compared with the vacancy of the official position of Jizhou Assassin.
For a whole day, the dispute in Zhongtaizhong did not stop, and no one was willing to give up this position...... There are so many princes and kings in Hebei, it is an important place for eunuchs to collect money, and it is also the hometown of many eunuchs such as Zhao Zhong, of course they want to go to a peacemaker; However, the people who really do things in Shangshutai know that it is precisely because of this that a resolute person is needed to clean up Jizhou; Not to mention, almost every big man still has some selfish thoughts......
"On the banquet of Wei County, Chen Yuan was a lackey under the Zhao clan, Fanyang Ling was greedy and inactive, and Nanpi Ling counted thirty times in one Chinese New Year's Eve, forcing the people to rebel." Lu Zhi sat precariously and complained about his reasons with an expressionless face. "Now, there is even Xiangguo County Magistrate Zhen Du colluded with Taihang Mountain bandits to slaughter the people, and Handan Lingsun Xun killed Zhen Du again...... There is no doubt that the collapse of Jizhou officials is undoubted, and there should be a solemn uncle at this time to cleanse Hebei! β
Lu Zigan is Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and he has a great say in this matter, and the various incidents he said are indeed sensational, so he was silent in the public house for a while.
"That's good," After waiting for a long time, Zhao Zhong, the Yellow Gate Supervisor, suddenly said. "It's getting dark, so let's just leave it undiscussed, let's just ask the Son of Heaven to make an idea......"
As soon as these words came out, starting with Lu Zhi, most of the people looked gloomy, and then everyone was silent...... This is the saddest thing about these scholars, you have good reasons, you argue with reason, and the facts you state make these eunuchs speechless at all, but in the end, they ask the Son of Heaven to decide, and they will lightly make your efforts come to naught.
Is the Son of Heaven right? This is a natural and correct option, and it is absolutely difficult to refute for scholars and courtiers.
However, as the Son of Heaven has been in power for a long time, everyone knows that although the Son of Heaven is very smart, he is soft-eared, selfish, and greedy, so when it comes to making a decision, these eunuchs can calmly make suggestions, express opinions, and influence the judgment of the Son of Heaven, but the courtiers outside are powerless.
And this is the strength of the eunuchs, they are trusted by the Son of Heaven, and they are also protected by the Son of Heaven, and they live in the North Palace of Luoyang with the Son of Heaven, as if they are one.
So far, I can only say that I hope that the Son of Heaven in the North Palace can be more sensitive and smarter today.
Taiwei Liu Kuan, Da Changqiu, and Shang Shuling Cao Jie glanced at each other, each smiled helplessly, and then got up together to dissolve the meeting.
"Zigan......" When Liu Kuan walked out of the public room, he couldn't help but call out to his drinking friend Lu Zhi. Would you like to go to my house for a drink today? Wendian sent me a new gadget yesterday for cooking. β
"Wen Huangong is one step ahead." Lu Zhi turned his head calmly, and there was no longer the mixture of gloom and anger in his eyes and tone. "I've wasted too much time here today, and I still have a few Lang officials who don't have a place to go, so deal with it a little bit, and go to find the ...... of Wen Huangong at night."
Liu Kuan immediately bowed his head, and casually rolled up his sleeves in the expectant and vigilant eyes of the people around him, and walked out of the middle stage with everyone.
This world is like this, no one is the center of the world, and if there is, it is definitely not Gongsun Xun at this time.
However, perhaps because he heard the prayers of the courtiers in the dark, this time the Son of Heaven in the North Palace was finally not confused, he used his ingenuity and chose a candidate who made everyone speechless.
Liu Yan, the word Junlang, a native of Jiangxia Jingling, a clan member of the Han family, is exempt from official money.
It is said that Liu Junlang has become famous 20 years early, and he entered the court when he was in the Huan Dynasty, but when he was a Lang official, because of the death of his teacher Situ Zhutian, he chose to hang the seal and abandon his post and go to teach and educate people, which is 18 years...... Of course, some people say that he foresaw the imminent rise of the party's calamity and was unwilling to get involved in right and wrong, so he took the initiative to resign...... But in any case, now that the political situation is stable, this Han clan member who has been teaching and raising in the east of Luoyang for 18 years finally accepted the expedition last year and replaced Sima Fang, who was promoted to Jingzhao Yin, as the Luoyang Order.
Now, he has become Uncle Fang of Jizhou, and the court and the central government have praised him, but no one objected.
In the final analysis, the four words of the Han clan are enough to block the mouths of all eunuchs, not to mention that Liu Junlang has lived in Jiangxia for generations, and his family is intertwined in Jingzhou, and he himself has been raising hope in the east of Luoyang City for 18 years!
"Congratulations, sir!" Liu Yan's eldest son, Liu Fan, is the age of the weak crown, and he has always been with his own father, so when his father came out of the North Palace and the South Palace in turn, and officially transformed into the Jizhou Thorn History, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
I can't help but like it...... This is the history of Jizhou thorns!
According to the political tradition of the Han family, as long as Liu Yan's term is done peacefully, I am afraid that he will be able to rank as the minister when he comes back...... When the time comes, Liu Fan will come out again, wouldn't it be very easy to go in the spirit of the minister?
"A state of thorn history, only six hundred stones, what is there to be happy about?" Liu Yan is in his forties this year, but his face is ruddy, his beard is vigorous, and his demeanor is as light as a person in his thirties.
"That's just as well." Liu Fan suddenly smiled. "My father has been looking forward to it for 18 years, and he should have ...... so quickly"
"Let's go, let's go!" Liu Yan looked at the frame servants of countless officials around him, and also interrupted his eldest son's compliments repeatedly, and then directly turned over into his donkey cart parked on Tongluo Street.
"Yes!" Liu Fan hurriedly sat in the driver's position. "My lord, shall we go home first or visit the Yuan Mansion first?"
Liu Yan was requisitioned as virtuous and square last year, but it was Yuan Kui's doing, and he should have gone there because of his feelings.
"You don't have to, just go out of the city!" Liu Yan said simply in the car. "I have already met Yuan Gong in Zhongtai just now, and there are other central ministers, and everything that should be said has already been said."
"But where do you go out of town?" Liu Fan held the whip and was at a loss for a moment.
"Go to Jizhou!" The new Jizhou Thorn Shi said calmly in the car.
"Go...... Father, don't blame me. Liu Fan was speechless. Where did you go to work as soon as you left the palace gate? β
"Why not?" Liu Yan asked with a smile in the car. "My son, are you worried that people will ridicule me for getting an official position and rush to take office?"
"That's not ......," Liu Fan replied embarrassedly. The reason why those people are ridiculed is because they are immediately dressed and angry after they become officials, and they are honored guards in incense carts, such as fathers, who let their sons drive a donkey cart to take office in a hurry, how can they be ridiculed? I just felt a little rushed. β
"What's the rush?" Liu Yan's voice in the car suddenly became serious. "I have already met with the Son of Heaven, the Three Princes, the Shangshu Order, and the Ministry of Officials Cao Shangshu, and then I got the holy decree and official documents, what if I don't go to the post at this time? If you are short of money and clothes, you can stop by Yangcheng Mountain (Liu Yan's lecture office, located in the east of Luoyang City, in the Tiger Prison Pass) to get it, but how about staying in Luoyang? Isn't it to take the opportunity to show off to those friends you have newly met, your father became the uncle of Jizhou? β
"Not really." The weather was hot, and Liu Fan was also sweating profusely. "That's not right...... Forget it, whatever my father says, we will go out of the city to Jizhou now......"
With a whip, the donkey cart started, and Liu Yan in the car sneered and lost his voice.
Of course, after all, he is the eldest son of his own in-law, just teach him a lesson, and when the father and son set off from Tongtuo Street, worked hard for most of the day, and came to the foot of Yangcheng Mountain where they had lived for 18 years in the middle of the night, Liu Yan finally told the truth to his son.
"Adults want a private visit?" Liu Fan, who had just washed his father's feet and was holding a peach and gnawing on it, finally heard the truth. "Why is that?"
"What can you do?" Liu Yan sat barefoot on the mat and sighed. "Cao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Zhi, and Lu Zigan. His student Ren Handan Ling, but he was unscrupulous in Zhao State and killed the county magistrate with a county order. Lu Zigan was worried that this student would get into trouble, and wanted me to warn him for him. However, I have also heard about the affairs of Zhao Kingdom, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to handle, so I decided to let you drive the donkey cart directly to Zhao Kingdom, and visit me secretly first, so as to make things beautiful......"
"It's really hard work father." Liu Fan was only stunned at this time. "This Lu Zigan has been a minister for many years, Cao Shangshu, who is as stable as Mount Tai, and he can't be offended easily, and if he wants to punish his students by his father's hand, he must both punish and leave room for the past to deal with the past...... No wonder my father was in such a hurry, thinking that he wanted to catch that Handan Ling off guard. β
"Not bad." Liu Yan gently bowed his head against the night breeze, but he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his eldest son's hair bun. "However, this time my son has also worked hard......"
"Why did my father say that?" Liu Fan couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and then threw the peach pit in his hand directly. "Is it really that my son is not sensible? Isn't it easier for me and my younger brothers to become officials in the future? β
"yes!" Liu Junlang also laughed again. "The Son of Heaven is young and the political situation is stable, so it is a good time to be an official...... I, Liu Yan, will never let you four brothers throw all your good times in this mountain like I did when I was young! β
βββββI am the dividing line between the father's love and the son's filial pietyβββββ
"Liu Yan, the word Junlang, a native of Jiangxia Jingling, a descendant of King Han Lu Gong, Emperor Zhang Yuan and Zhongqi Feng Jingling, a family of branches. Yan Shaoshi Zhou County, worship Zhonglang with the clan, and then go to the official with the teacher to celebrate the funeral.
