Chapter 256: Scholars
Having said that, it's one thing to not look at your identity, but it's another thing if you don't admit it, and if I use their identity to do things, it won't be fun if you don't admit it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even so, Bao Hong will not rashly express his attitude and use Cao Cao as a gunman, depending on what Cao Cao says next.
And Dong Zhuo's side has no sense of urgency, Cao Shen and Li Zuoche are still the justifiable heroes of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable that unless Emperor Ling overthrows and does not recognize Liu Bang as his ancestors, those titles must be recognized by pinching their noses. This is also Cao Ying's detention and house arrest, and even before that, Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong did not get the slightest news.
Boss Cao naturally knows this, and he doesn't expect to say that after the news comes out, Bao Hong and Dong Zhuo will help preside over justice, the key is to involve this matter to the aspects that are closely related to them.
"Your Majesty has already ordered before, regardless of the matter of the resurrected heroic spirit in the previous life, everyone knows that Your Majesty has made a very wise decision to do this, and it will be of great benefit to the situation of the Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao paused, seeing that everyone did not respond, but waited for his next step.
Bao Hong and the ministers had already discussed the pros and cons of this matter many times, and it was definitely a huge benefit for the Spirit Emperor to really do this, and the disadvantages he had scruples about were not too big a problem at all.
And from Emperor Han Ling's actions towards this policy, it is very strange, the previous policy can be described as wise and martial, and then he turned around and began to be confused, not to mention his own face, the impact is also very huge, but the contrast is difficult to see what this guy is, is it really wise, but he was blinded, or he is indeed a complete faint king.
Really talking about the Spirit Emperor, it really can't be said that it is completely impossible, at least in all aspects, not to mention whether he is wise or not, he will definitely not be able to escape if he is smart.
In December of the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan died, and was selected as the heir to the throne by his cousin Dou, and ascended the throne in the first month of the first year of Jianning.
The general Dou Wu made a meritorious contribution to Liu Hong's succession, and his clansmen were added to the rank of knight, and since then the Dou family's relatives have been in power for a while. Dou Wu relied on the Taifu Chen Fan to preside over the government, and Chen Fan used a large number of scholars who had been punished during the first party rebellion, and the two soon came to an agreement to plot to eradicate the eunuchs. Dou Wu instructed Shang Shu to order Yin Xun and others to impeach and arrest Wei Biao, the Huangmen Ling, and list the charges for further impeachment of the eunuchs.
On September 7, Dou Wu returned home to rest, and Yin Xun's secret recital to Dou Wu was obtained by Shi Zhu Yu, the five senses of Changle, and the matter was leaked. Zhu Yu informed the eunuchs Wang Fu and Cao Jie of the matter, and the eunuchs made a bloody alliance and launched a coup d'état that night. It is known as the "September Xinhai Coup". By the early morning of the next day, the eunuchs had won a complete victory in the coup, Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others were exterminated, and those who were not executed were exiled to Jiaozhou. Empress Dowager Dou was relocated to Nangong Yuntai to live.
In just nine months, he took down the powerful ministers of the dynasty, regained power, and kept it firmly in his own hands.
He implemented party and eunuch politics, and set up the West Garden, cleverly set up a name to loot money and sell official titles, which led to the Yellow Turban Uprising.
Emperor Ling had a deep attainment in literature and art, and wrote a total of 50 chapters of "Huangxi Chapter". In the first year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling set up Hongdu Gate Study, not to study Confucian classics, but to discuss the disciplines that Emperor Ling was interested in, such as Cifu and calligraphy. Reuse the students from the Hongdu Sect, who served as assassins, scholars, servants, and even marquis. Confucian scholars who were too learned often despised these people and refused to be with them. Hongdu Gate School was very prosperous for a while, with as many as 1,000 students, but it did not last long. One was due to the fierce attack of the Shi clan, and the other was due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which ended with the decline of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, which "respected Confucianism alone", it was a great contribution to education to change the old concept of Confucian classics as the only educational content and advocate the study of literature and art. It enrolls the children of the common people into the school, breaks through the monopoly of the aristocracy and the landlord class on the school, and gives the common people the opportunity to display their talents, which is also of progressive significance. At the same time, he has a soft spot for invention and creation, and commanded a group of inventors such as Song Dian and Bi Lan to invent "Tianlu and Shrimp Toad" similar to fountains, and artificial sprinkler "Overturned Thirsty Bird" and so on.
In fact, Emperor Ling is not a mediocre lord, and he suddenly entered the central government to sit on the throne, borrowed the hands of eunuchs to destroy the relatives of the Song family, and established the He family, who was born as a butcher, and then borrowed the Shiren Party to overthrow the two eunuchs of Cao Jie and Wang Fu, and reused Zhang Rang, Jian Shuo and other henchmen; He also expanded the party to suppress the gentry, cracked down on Taixue, established the Hongdu Gate to cultivate confidant officials, eunuchs, party members, and relatives The three major forces have been leveled by him, since the emperors of the two Han Dynasty, how many are better at treacherous power than his Ling Emperor? Besides, the throne after Emperor Xiaohe is more stable than him? Emperor Ling, worthy of calling himself the "Supreme General"!
But!!!! He ruined the entire Han world, and he is really a sinner for the ages. At this point, everything else is nonsense.
As for the miscellaneous things such as immorality and immorality, if you really want to talk about it, a sentence of private morality can completely wash away the seven-seven-eighty-eight, but on the contrary, taxation is a big problem, forcing the people to rebel. However, this is not a matter, to be reasonable, if you can do enough martial arts, it doesn't matter if you really squeeze a little more, in the final analysis, it still caused the Han Dynasty to kneel, so he must be nailed to the pillar of shame!
However, in the final analysis, this faint king cannot be said to be born, and in many cases it can only be said to be caused by a lack of self-control and environmental problems.
At the beginning, Lord Situ Yang Ci told Emperor Han Ling that he must abide by the system formulated by the previous king. The previous emperors built a Hongchi on the left side of the palace, where you can enjoy flowers and feast and drink; At the back of the palace, the Upper Forest Garden was built, where you could hunt on horseback. These two royal gardens are already quite large. Of course, it's not too big, it's not too shabby, and it's almost enough for everyday use. Now, if it is proposed to build two more gardens on the outskirts of the capital, then the people must be driven out and the fertile land must be occupied. This is not in line with the ancient precept of loving the people like a son. The emperor is outside Chang'an City, and there are already five or six royal gardens, which really can't be added.
Yang Ci moved out the thrifty emperor Emperor Wen of Han to warn Emperor Ling that he should learn more from the glorious deeds of the first emperor who cherished the people's power and refused to build a terrace.
Emperor Ling of Han listened to this and gave up his plan to build a garden. At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still had a conscience.
However, a group of villains appeared.
While chatting, Emperor Han Ling complained to Ren Zhi and Le Song, the attendants beside him. The emperor's life was not easy, he could not build gardens, nor could he ride horses and hunt at will, there was nothing fun, and his life was really boring.
Ren Zhi and Le Song said: "Back then, King Wen of Zhou's garden was a hundred miles away, and the common people were still too small; However, King Qi Xuan's garden is only five miles in radius, and people are too big. Why is that? Because King Wen of Zhou can enjoy with the people. Now, as long as the king can enjoy with the people, then what does it matter if two gardens are built? ”
Emperor Ling of Han was very happy when he heard this, so he ordered the construction of the garden.
Ren Zhi and Le Song are two very typical old oilmen of officialdom and traitors. The biggest characteristic of a traitor is that he does not distinguish between good and bad, right or wrong, and everything is based on the preferences of the leader. Of course, some people are bad people and wicked people, but they are not traitors. For example, Guo Yan and Li Dao after Dong Zhuo can only be said to be thieves, because the two of them have no brains. But Ren Zhi and Le Song are different. On the surface, they did not persuade Emperor Han Ling to do bad things, but in fact, they took Emperor Han Ling into the ditch and did things that harmed the country and the people in the name of learning from the sages.
Emperor Ling of Han was spoiled by a group of such traitors.
Of course, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and Emperor Han Ling himself is not a good bird. Emperor Han Ling's nature was not right, so as soon as Ren Zhi instigated, Emperor Han Ling reversed course and went badly.
Therefore, sometimes it is not a good thing that this guy is too capable, if Emperor Han Ling was suppressed by Dou Wu and them for a longer time, had a period of depressed experience, and experienced a hard and simple life, then even if he was on the throne, he would not act recklessly.
Needless to say, the founding emperor naturally said that Emperor Wen, who was pressed by Empress Lu, directly and greatly developed the economy and people's livelihood of the Han Dynasty, and created the rule of Wenjing with his son. Looking back, Liu Ai, who was suppressed by Huo Guang, is known in history as "the rule of filial piety, and the reward must be punished, which can be described as Zhongxing......
And Dou Wu's guys were taken down by Emperor Ling before the year came, and then Emperor Ling found that there was nothing to do when he was in power, so he did whatever he wanted, did whatever he wanted, and did whatever he wanted.
As for what ten permanent servants and the like, it's better to say 'recognize parents' than to say 'nanny' directly, to put it bluntly, it's just responsible for helping him enjoy himself, basically, their lives are firmly pinched in the hands of the Spirit Emperor, okay, if you want to kill you, it's like playing.
However, the situation is different now, no matter what the ten permanent servants were before, or He Jin, in fact, there was no chance of 'rebellion' at all, even if He Jin was named the so-called general, commanding the military power of the world, if he dared to speak of rebellion, the soldiers would directly hack him to death.
But in this situation, the general level of the Marquis is just that, after all, it is not a general trend, even if they are allowed to inherit the title, it is nothing, but when it comes to the kind of guy who has a huge reputation in Shilin and even the people, he ran out and said that Emperor Han Ling is mediocre, and he really wants to come to the side of the Qing Monarch or even set up another Ming Jun or something, Emperor Han Ling is really a little worried.
You know, he has abolished a lot of 'loyal' 'party members' in the front, and it is reasonable that those prime ministers and the like are also figures in that camp, if they have opinions on Emperor Ling's policies, it is definitely a big problem.
During the reign of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, those in power were divided into two factions, eunuchs and relatives, alternating autocratic powers. The eunuch party has Hou Lan, Cao Jie, Wang Fu, etc., they appoint private individuals, corrupt the government, and bring disaster to the township, such as Hou Lan once seized 381 people's houses and 118 hectares of land; His brother sought wealth to frame the innocent and amassed hundreds of millions of wealth. Comparatively speaking, Dou Wu and others from the party of foreign relatives were relatively upright, so 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.
At this time, scholars and nobles were all well-known and easy to get acquainted. This one is out of the habit of the nobility of the Warring States period to be good for raising soldiers and scholars to run, and the other is out of the needs of the election at this time. At that time, most of the eunuchs had children and relatives, or they were tyrannical officials outside, or they lived in the countryside and were arrogant. Using the law to suppress him, or stirring up public opinion against him, is a good opportunity to make a name. The scholars and eunuchs became invincible. This group of scholars and doctors, who have a good reputation and good friendships, naturally can't help but flaunt each other and trust each other. The universities in the capital, with many traveling scholars and close to politics, naturally became the center of their gathering. It is a big taboo in politics to form a party to seek advancement, lead the same kind, and confuse right and wrong.
At that time, the scholars and doctors could not help but be suspicious of this. And with this one crime, you can catch it all, how convenient and happy it is! The eunuchs then pointed out that the celebrities who opposed them at that time were party members, and persuaded Emperor Huan to imprison them, but only because of the words of his stepfather Dou Wujin did he pardon them. Emperor Huan collapsed, had no children, Empress Dou and Wu Ding were forbidden, and they set up Emperor Zhang's great-grandson Emperor Ling. The Queen Mother is in the court. Dou Wu is close to celebrities, Chen Fan, who is kind to Dou's family, is a Taifu, and he himself is a celebrity among celebrities. The eunuchs who plotted to manipulate power were harmed. The Queen Mother was also depressed and died. Emperor Ling is old, not in vain does not know how to rectify, but worships eunuchs more, listens to their control of the government, and is chaotic. And blindly accumulate luxury. At this time, the source of chaos was already lurking, and it was an uncontrollable situation to create an opportunity for him to explode every day.
In the late Han Dynasty, the struggle of bureaucrats and Confucian scholars against the dictatorship of eunuchs ended in failure.
The struggle of the party against the eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was an attempt at reform. In the face of the dark rule of eunuchs' arbitrary power, some relatively upright bureaucrats and Confucian scholars put forward some reform proposals in order to save the social crisis and ease class contradictions. There are also some proposals for reform in the economy. Although the results were insignificant, the actions of the party members still had a certain effect at that time and should be given due recognition.
The struggle of the party members against the eunuchs objectively reflected the aspirations of the broad masses of the people. The vast number of people suffered greatly from the eunuchs, and when Emperor Ling was the emperor, he once put forward a request to kill ten eunuchs. Therefore, the struggle of the party members against the eunuchs also won the support and sympathy of the people. When the party members were persecuted, Zhang Jian fled, and many people killed his entire family in order to ensure his safety. This account may be exaggerated, but it reflects the anger of the people against the eunuchs and their sympathy for the party.
The spirit of the party is not afraid of the best to inspire future generations and has a great impact on future generations. Under the tyranny of the eunuchs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the phenomenon of moral decay and demoralization was particularly serious. Party members Chen Fan, Li Ying, Li Yun, and others all had the heart of worrying about the country and the people, dared to risk death to give direct advice, angrily denounced treacherous evil, and the spirit of eliminating the emasculated party is commendable. Therefore, their spirit of "killing to seek benevolence" has been admired by people throughout the ages. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the struggle of the Donglin Party against the eunuchs was inspired and influenced by the fighting spirit of the Eastern Han Party members.
From all standpoints, the resurrected predecessors of the Han Dynasty must have stood in the perspective of scholars, even if their relatives have not recognized them for so long, they still have to stand in the perspective of scholars, so it is a matter of course to fight for the interests of scholars. In this way, how could Emperor Han Ling not be afraid of these people.
