Of course, it is also a death, and it cannot be generalized that these guys are all for fame.

Although the result may be the same when doing the same thing, sometimes the purpose may even be diametrically opposed.

is like the classic story of 'Tanuki for Prince', the villain did this for his own power, and Lord Bao found the orthodox prince, didn't he let this guy who had no ruling experience since childhood become the emperor. It's not that it can't be done, but that Master Bao doesn't have this idea at all.

Of course, from the cemetery, Lord Bao was afraid that this guy who grew up outside would make a mess of the government and politics after he came back, but in terms of results, it was the same. It's just that this matter, when people interpret it, the default villain is too powerful, and Lord Bao is powerless.

But in any case, people sacrifice their lives to do things, even if it is to make a reputation, it is also commendable. As for the purpose, it can only be said that there are very few saints who have no desires and no desires.

It's like the disaster of the party, after all, not everyone has Huo Guang's pattern. These guys are known as Qingliu and have strict requirements for their own behavior, so it is understandable that they are naturally reluctant to touch the matter of the ministers.

However, it is undeniable that one is that their ability is not strong enough to set things right, and the other is that they are too old-fashioned and do not know how to be flexible. In the words of Master Bao, if you want to fight with a traitor, you have to be more treacherous than a traitor. And these people, known as the clear stream, are not turbid with the world, and resolutely do not use such indiscriminate means. And then every time he was falsely accused and framed.

Therefore, you can't crush it head-on, and you can't conspire to frame it from the side, and the result will naturally be defeat.

"If it is said that the Han Emperor does not rely on eunuchs to seize power, what should he do?" Bao Hong wondered, "Is it purely waiting for the Qingliushi people to come to the rescue?" Just like in the early Han Dynasty and the post-Lu period? ”

"Isn't it?" Huo Guang sneered, "If it's just a rebellion by relatives, how bad can it be?" As long as the people's hearts are in Liu Han, the relatives will be proud for a while at most, and countless people of insight will naturally come up and push the relatives down! ”

"But after appointing eunuchs, you can see what the result is!" Huo Guang said with a smile.

"Of course, I have also heard that the usurpation of the throne by the relatives of the Wang family in the past has even caused disastrous consequences. But what is the end result? Then what Emperor Guangwu is not holding the banner of the Han Dynasty to restore. Huo Guang continued, "At that time, people were only anti-the king of the new dynasty, not against Liu Han. But now? ”

After the death of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the 12th emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Biao, ascended the throne, and he was the most unscrupulous Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty who died in the gentle village of Zhao Hede. With such a political waste as the emperor, it is a matter of course that the Wang Zhengjun family debuted, and the "Wang Group" finally integrated the military and political power of the Han Dynasty, and the prime minister of the government, pushing the "dictatorship of foreign relatives" of the Han Dynasty to the top.

Wang Zhengjun has a nephew named Wang Mang, Wang Mang can be said to be the real king of the ancients "hypocrites", he was humble and famous when he was young, and he was well received by the world. After the death of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, in just a few years, the Han Dynasty changed two short-lived emperors "Emperor Mourning, Emperor Ping", in 5 AD, Wang Mang simply poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, and became the so-called "Emperor Regent". After all, "Regent" is still acting government, "Regent" to 8 A.D., Wang Mang began to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty and established a "new dynasty", and the Western Han Dynasty was buried in the hands of Wang's relatives.

"But in any case, a relative may take his place, and it is almost impossible for a eunuch to have a chance to take his place!" Bao Hong said in a deep voice, "So from this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the Han Emperor to rely on eunuchs!" ”

"Makes sense!" Huo Guang scolded disdainfully, "As long as Emperor Han himself is a little shrewd and not so wasteful, it is easy to rely on scholars to grasp power." Relatives and eunuchs will also hold each other together and cooperate closely with each other. The Shiren Party may be united in its devotion to the country, but do you think it is possible to say that it is united to overthrow the current regime and that there are no loyal servants at all? ”

"......" At this time, of course Bao Hong can't say that the next Wei State is a group of families who pit Cao Wei together, and pushed out the Sima family, the representative of the family, and finally ......

Of course, this has something to do with Boss Cao's meritocracy and not playing with the Qingliu Party. However, it is also because the Qing school looks down on the relationship between Boss Cao, who has a eunuch background.

But on the other hand, what the system says does make sense. Except for Boss Cao's game, the family hacked Cao Wei together, and in the entire history of the Han Dynasty, there were basically a lot of scholars who served the country.

Just like the Yang family, one of the two largest families in the late Han Dynasty. The Yang family and the Yuan family are both cultural families, but Yang Xiu and Yang Xiu's previous family heads did not have a certain intention of the Central Plains, so the Yang family has always tried their best to maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty. When Yang Xiu found out that Cao Cao had the heart to represent the Han, he did not cooperate with Taizu, and often debauchered himself and did not give Cao Cao affection. Cao Cao was "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", so Yang Xiu also ran to Cao Cao's base camp. But when Yang Xiu arrived at Cao Ying, not only did he not have good plans, but often disturbed the morale of the army, which was one of the reasons why Cao Cao killed him; Moreover, Yang Xiu participated in the battle between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, which was another reason why Cao Cao killed him.

But fundamentally, don't these guys know that Boss Cao has a black heart? Running over actually has to say that you don't have a little psychological preparation to toss around with Boss Cao, is it possible?

Not to mention Xun Yu, the representative of Xun Wang's family next to him. The most important minister, chief strategist, and outstanding strategist under Boss Cao, was called "my son's room" by Boss Cao.

When Boss Cao began to oppose Dong, Xun Yu began to follow, and basically he participated in most of the events in Boss Cao's life.

The ancients said: Guan Zhong Xiang Huan Gong cut down Shanrong, cut Chen Cai, cut Chu, and cut Jin, and his intention was to respect Zhou Er, and Huan Gong had the ambition to seal Zen. Wen Ruoyi Cao Gong, Ping Qing Xu, Ping Xu Luo, Ping Heshuo, Ping Hannan, his ambition to respect Han Er, and Cao Gong then had a proposal of nine tins. Guan Zhong knows that it is not permissible to seal Zen. Therefore, the word is set up to reject it; If the text knows that Jiuxi can't be long, so he is inferior to it.

Guan Zhongxing, so Duke Huan said from him that he was the king of Quanqin; If Wen Ruo is unlucky, Cao Gong does not use his words to become a disaster of stealing the country.

Ping Qingxu, Ping Xu Luo, Ping Heshuo, Ping Hannan and the like, anyway, the credit is definitely counted. It is said that Cao Gong then had a discussion of Jiuxi, and Wen Ruoxun said that he was an incident.

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao wanted to enter the prince of the kingdom and add the title of Jiuxi (Jiuxi is the nine kinds of rewards given by ancient emperors to ministers, including chariots and horses, clothes, musical instruments, warriors, bows and arrows, etc., which is the highest courtesy to ministers). Xun Yu believes: "(Cao Cao) Benxing volunteers to Kuang Dynasty Ningguo, uphold the sincerity of loyalty, and defend the truth of retreat; A gentleman loves virtue and should not be like this", so he angered Cao Cao.

In the same year, Cao Cao levied Sun Quan and let Xun Yu go to the **** of Qian County, and after Xun Yu arrived, Cao Cao took the opportunity to keep him in the army. Feng Xunyu is a servant, a doctor of Guanglu, holding a festival, and participating in the military of the prime minister. Cao Cao's army was wet, Xun Yu stayed in Shouchun due to illness, and soon died of anxiety (about Xun Yu's death, there is such a saying in the history books: Cao Cao gave food to Xun Yu at that time, Xun Yu opened the food vessel, saw that there was nothing in the vessel, so he was forced to take poison and commit suicide), at the age of fifty.

Bao Hong was very clear about this matter in his previous life. According to Bao Hong's understanding, this matter is mainly because Boss Cao has always started to debauchery without pressure. According to Bao Hong's understanding, Boss Cao, this guy, in adversity, is simply a god, and Guandu can win a ghost battle. But when the wind was down, it became a pit goods, the general of Wancheng Pit, the son of the pit, the army of Chibi Keng, and his subordinate Xun Yu was also killed in the back......

On the one hand, it is natural that Xun Yu is loyal to the Han family, so he stops Boss Cao. On the other hand, it cannot be denied that Boss Cao was not suitable to do that at that time, because at this time there were still a lot of loyal ministers, and doing so would cause a great backlash.

"On the other hand, it's not good, the kind of people who are played with by eunuchs, or who are stupid to the point of being like the current one, are not as reliable as the dictatorship of their relatives earlier!" Huo Guang continued, "At least when I was a relative, many policies were implemented normally. Moreover, if the relatives and scholars start a struggle, relatively speaking, it will not cause such a huge loss of talents like the so-called disaster of the party. ”

In fact, this matter has also developed gradually. At the beginning, it was still more reliable to rely on eunuchs to regain power and the Han Emperor, but with the increase in the number of times, the later Han Emperors became more and more brainless, thinking that every eunuch was the kind of good person who was dedicated to his good and served him wholeheartedly, without the slightest insight of his own.

This is just like appointing relatives at the beginning, because the harm caused by the Lu family in front was not very great, and Wei Huo established a huge meritorious career, which made the group of Han emperors in the back brainlessly trust their relatives.

In the early stages, the use of eunuchs was not so exaggerated, and it is not even correct to say that there was a favorable side.

In the second year of Zhang He, Emperor Zhang collapsed, and the ten-year-old prince Liu Zhao ascended the throne for Emperor He. Empress Dowager Dou came to the court, listened to the government honestly, and relied on her elder brother General Dou Xian to take power, which was the beginning of the dictatorship of foreign relatives in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At the age of fourteen, Emperor He relied on the eunuch Zheng Zhong to kill the general Dou Xian and destroy the Dou clan. Empress Dowager Dou was forced to return power to Emperor He, and the power of the eunuchs began to grow, which was the first struggle between the eunuchs of foreign relatives and the first blow of the eunuch group to the foreign relatives group.

and Emperor Bang, and Emperor He's queen Deng established Liu Long, the son of the Hundred Days, as the emperor, and was the emperor of the martyrs. Emperor Yan died less than a year ago, and Empress Dowager Deng set up the thirteen-year-old Marquis of Chang'an, Liu Hu, as the emperor, for Emperor An. Empress Dowager Deng listened to the government and relied on her brother Deng Qiu, a chariot general, to take power.

Empress Dowager Deng died. Emperor An used the eunuch Li Yan and the nurse Wang Sheng to destroy the Deng clan and regain power. Emperor An relied on his empress's elder brother Yan Xian and the eunuch Li Yan to jointly seize power, which was the second struggle between his relatives and eunuchs.

Antiblanc. Emperor An's Empress Yan abolished the crown prince Liu Bao, and established Liu Yi, the youngest son of the king of Jibei, as the emperor, and was the young emperor. In October of that year, the young emperor died, and the Empress Dowager Yan wanted to set up another child as the emperor. At this time, the eunuch Sun Cheng and others killed the chariot general Yan Xian and welcomed the former crown prince Liu Bao to the throne for Emperor Shun. This is the third blow of the eunuch clique to the group of foreign relatives.

When Emperor Shun, the queen's brother Liang Ji was the general and auxiliary government. Emperor Shun collapsed, Emperor Shun's empress Liang and general Liang Jili two-year-old prince Liu Bing as emperor, for Emperor Chong. A few months later, Emperor Chong collapsed. The Empress Dowager Liang and the general Liang Ji Yingyi established the eight-year-old Marquis of Jianping, Liu Zhang, as the emperor, and they were the emperor. Although Emperor Qin was young, he was very smart, and once criticized Liang Ji in the imperial court and said: "This general is also a general." ”

Liang Ji poisoned Emperor Qian, and set up the fifteen-year-old Liwu Marquis Liu Zhi as the emperor, which was Emperor Huan. The regime remained in the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang and the general Liang Ji.

Empress Dowager Liang died. Emperor Huan conspired with the eunuchs Shan Chao, Xu Huang, Gu Ying, Zuo Yi, Tang Heng and other five people to kill Liang Ji and eliminate the Liang forces. This is the fourth blow to the foreign clique.

After this struggle, the Eastern Han regime fell into the hands of the eunuchs. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the struggle for power of foreign relatives and eunuchs entered the second stage.

The second stage was the culmination of the dictatorship of the eunuch clique. After eradicating the power of the Qi Liang clan, the eunuch group filled the power vacuum. That is, the 'five marquis', 'ten permanent servants' and so on, which really began the era of eunuch dictatorship.

Therefore, in real terms, everything can be viewed from a dialectical point of view, and these things are undoubtedly two-sided, and they cannot be purely good or bad. But what Huo Guang said is also reasonable, Bao Hong can also see from the general mention of history that there are disadvantages to such things as the dictatorship of foreign relatives, but the impact of restricting it will not be irreparable, and Wang Mang's example is only a few after all.

But in terms of eunuchs, there really isn't much history to prove their role. In essence, the existence of eunuchs was originally to play the role of an intermediate communication.

Eunuchs are servants who are responsible for court chores and are not allowed to participate in state affairs, but because they get along with the royal family day and night, they can win trust or have an opportunity, so in some dynasties there are situations where eunuchs hold the power of state affairs.

In this regard, the key is actually to grasp the power of eunuchs. But in many cases, if the rights are released, they may not be able to get them back.

In other words, for many emperors, it is not that they can't take it back, but they are too lazy to take it back. Because the power of the state is in the hands of the eunuchs, they can provide themselves with more comfortable pleasures, so why should they take back this power?

Therefore, the most critical part of this problem is the emperor himself. Speaking of which, eunuchs are easy to control, and you can easily take back your power if you say that you can take it back. However, it is useless, you are fooled by him, you are very fond of him, and you are dead, and there is no need to say anything else.

Therefore, as Huo Guang said, whether it is the dictatorship of foreign relatives or the rule of scholars, it will not cause fundamental turmoil to the entire country. But the eunuchs came up and tossed blindly, and the result was that the people's hearts were lost, and it would be irreparable at that time.

Therefore, Huo Guang's thinking is actually very simple, just abolish the thing of relatives. Others can only count on the emperor to be reliable. It's really unreliable, and it's natural to be abolished, it's not a big deal. (To be continued.) )
