Chapter 1916: The Battle of Shouchun (197)
Emperor Huan was completely furious!
In the past, the decree he issued couldn't get out of the palace, it was because of the general Liang Ji, who finally cut it off, and the power was in his hands, but as a result, some students came out to oppose it, besides, when will it be the turn of the administrative order of the Han Dynasty to be the master of these students who have not grown their hair?
Looking at the petition in his hand, Emperor Huan directly tore it up, but this could not really solve the petition of the Tai Student, although on the issue of Jizhou, Zhu Mu lost the support of the clan, but the flood in Jizhou has been completely solved after the arrival of Emperor Ling's order, and now the spearhead has shifted from the flood in Jizhou to Zhao Zhong, and in the matter of the eunuch party, the clan once again stood by Zhu Mu's side.
Of course, at first, those officials who were relatively neutral in the floods in Jizhou and were usually more upright stood up, but as they continued to appear, there were more and more officials who supported the Tai students, and even these scholars and doctors actually took to the streets, came to the palace and shouted slogans with the Tai students to release Zhu Mu and eradicate Zhao Zhong's slogan, in order to coerce Emperor Huan, and even shouted to let the Son of Heaven be careful that the lieutenant officials steal the authority of the country, holding the prince in his hand, and holding the Tianxian in his mouth.
For the Son of Heaven, the eunuchs will never pose any threat to him, because they are all people of Wugen, even if they steal the royal power, it is impossible to pass it on to future generations, not to mention that the rights in their hands are given by him, and the rights he can give them in their hands can naturally be taken back, but when these scholars shouted such words, Emperor Heng just smiled coldly, because for the Son of Heaven himself, it is not these eunuchs who can really threaten his authority, On the contrary, it is these scholars who are shouting slogans and threatening him!
Although Emperor Heng scoffed at the slogans of the scholars and the students, he still smelled the danger, and was convinced that this petition was an organized and premeditated action, otherwise, it would not have been possible to gather so many students in such a short period of time, and the key was that so many officials appeared at once.
Therefore, he dared to be sure that this time someone must have manipulated a certain queen, otherwise it would be impossible for so many officials to emerge at once, and what these officials represent is the Shidaifu group behind them, and even the clan group.
It can be said that it is precisely because of this incident that the contradictions between the clan and the eunuch party were really revealed, so that the original two sides turned from the secret struggle to the table, and the two parties no longer have any worries, and the purge and anti-purge have become the mainstream for the next ten years, and this undoubtedly laid the groundwork for the decline of the Han Dynasty, but no one will know at that time, even if Liu Lan is in which era, he will not know that this seemingly ordinary case will have such a far-reaching impact.
The reckless actions of the scholars made Emperor Huan feel the pressure and threat, and also made him completely realize how big the threat of the clan was.
In the face of the Son of Heaven's ignorance, the number of students in the demonstrations gathered more and more, and at this time, some students actually proposed a compromise plan, hoping to replace Zhu Mufa and take the blame for him, what is this, isn't this a child's play for the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven naturally rejected the petition of the students again, and under the patience of the students several times, I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so tough, and the students also became excited, but they also saw it, No threat could make the Son of Heaven compromise, and at this time they thought of another way, that is, a sit-down hunger strike, and the Tai students took action, but the scholars retreated, of course, they still symbolically left some young officials to sit and go on a hunger strike with the Tai students.
Come hard, Emperor Huan is naturally not afraid, and he will definitely not give in, but the students are on a hunger strike and sit-in petition, and every day there will be officials and students who faint from hunger, this time finally made Emperor Huan a little worried, he has always advertised himself as a saint, but if he really wants to starve to death, then how will the historian's pen and knife write about him, and what kind of ugly face will he become on top of history.
Emperor Huan succumbed, succumbed under great pressure, but let him accept it all, it is absolutely impossible to completely compromise, and such a submission also has the prerequisite conditions, on this basis, Emperor Huan thought of an ingenious way, between the clan and the eunuch party to make a so-called balance in his opinion, although he compromised, not to send Zhu Mu to the border to serve hard labor, but it is also absolutely impossible to let him reinstate the official and return to Jizhou, so he was completely demoted to a commoner, and he also lost his title without an official position.
The phenomenon of being dismissed from office was actually very common in the Han Dynasty, and even if a natural or man-made disaster occurred, the three dukes were also responsible for resigning, but even if they resigned, they would not leave Luoyang and return to their hometown, because soon, it would be activated, but this time, Zhu Mu was ordered to leave Luoyang within three days and return to Nanyang.
Everyone knows that if Zhu Mu can still stay in Luoyang, then Emperor Huan will use him again at any time, even if Emperor Huan can't think of it, but when needed, the ancestors will recommend it to the Son of Heaven again when the Son of Heaven is employed, but once he returns to his hometown this time, then he will be completely away from the political center, even if Emperor Huan can think of him, even if the clan recommends him, he will give up because he is in his hometown, and completely lose the hope of official reinstatement.
After more than half a year of fermentation, the Zhu Mu incident finally ended with the victory that the Son of Heaven was forced to compromise, and the Tai students and clans achieved a painless victory, and even in the eyes of the Tai students, this is not a victory at all, because Zhu Mu was finally driven back to his hometown by the eunuchs, and Zhao Zhong was actually only demoted to a knighthood, and he was demoted from the Marquis of Duxiang to the Marquis of Guannei, but this time compared to the Tai students, it was undoubtedly a victory for the clans, The two sides who had originally joined forces were already celebrating this victory, a blow to the eunuchs, while the other side was saddened, feeling incompetent for failing to keep Zhu Mu's official position.
Indeed, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, the Tai students are humble, this time if there are no court officials involved, if it is not for their hunger strike this time, the Son of Heaven will not compromise at all, but this time the compromise does not mean that he will compromise in the future, because no matter when and where, in his eyes, the power of the Tai students is humble and almost negligible.
And this is also the reality that the students at this time are feeling, although they are unwilling, they must accept such a reality.
This is the first head-to-head confrontation between the eunuch party and the clan, this is also the first time that the contradiction between the eunuch party and the clan is put on the table for a real contest, of course, this time is also the year when the students go from Taixue to the world, and are well known to the world.
Just when the Tai students entered the eyes of the world, just six years after the contradictions between the eunuch party and the clan became public, another protest by the Tai students occurred, and this time it was no longer the first time that the Tai student leader Liu Tao initiated, because he had already served as a magistrate, a county magistrate, Jing Zhaoyin, with his talent, such an appointment and dismissal must be Qu Cai, and the most unfortunate should be the captain of Si Li, but because of the protest of the Tai students, such an appointment and dismissal is enough to make the world feel that Emperor Huan is magnanimous and does not care about Liu Tao.
However, few people will know that the Tai students who participated in the Zhu Mu incident back then rarely had a higher official position of Liu Tao, and Liu Lan was able to be Jing Zhaoyin in the capital, but he showed the trust of the Son of Heaven in him.
Of course, the real situation is that when the Zhu Mu incident ended, when everything calmed down, Emperor Huan began to investigate, first of all, it was naturally the first evil Liu Tao, but what he never expected was that this Liu Tao was actually a clan, but a distant relative of the Son of Heaven - the descendant of Liu Bo, the king of Jibei.
There are too many children of the clan in the Han Dynasty, but this Liu Tao can be said to belong to him as a 'close relative', so no matter what angle it is, it is impossible for Emperor Huan to really take his sacrificial knife, so he even sent someone to recruit Liu Tao to the palace, and after a long talk, Zhu Mu became a confidant of the Son of Heaven from the leader of Taixue, and in these six years, Liu Tao did not disappoint Emperor Huan, and his rapid growth into Emperor Huan felt that he would not only be able to govern Luoyang in the future, but also have this ability even if he is ranked as the third duke in the future.
But Liu Tao didn't know that because of his recklessness back then, he became the idol of all the students who entered Taixue, and all the students hoped to be like him, using their meager strength to change, to fight against power, and to uphold justice for the truth.
The students gradually changed from the initial academic exchange to express their opinions on current affairs, until six years later, and this time the student leader was a student named Zhang Feng, he was the same as Liu Tao back then, young and passionate, enthusiastic, and respected by the students, after he raised his arms, the students gathered around him, followed them again in front of the palace, this time they wanted to call for true justice, to fight for more voice for the students.
And this demonstration, speaking of which, it is still because the famous general Huangfu Gui suffered injustice, Huangfu Gui asked for merit for the meritorious border generals in the battle to pacify the chaos, this was originally a normal thing, and it made sense to reward meritorious deeds, but who would have thought that when the emperor sent eunuchs to reward them, the eunuchs were shy and begged for the so-called lottery heads.
The border generals were promoted and made rich, so they naturally didn't care about these, and they couldn't even blink their eyes for a few taels of gold, but who would have thought that the eunuchs would directly turn black when they looked at the gold that was less than the size of a palm, and sent them to ask for food? The eunuch's face changed in an instant, he scolded, and even threatened to pay a thousand taels of gold, and even said very unhappily that today the Son of Heaven can reward you martial artists, and tomorrow they will let the Son of Heaven degrade you as a people!
This is not just a naked bribe, but a threat, if you can endure it to others, it will pass, but these generals in the border areas of Liangzhou are impulsive and reckless and murderous warriors without blinking, Qi Qi looked at Huangfu Gui with fire in his eyes, after all, it was in the camp, even if it was impulsive, but the military regulations of Huangfu Gui were strict, so they could only ask Huangfu Gui for help at this time.
And Huangfu Gui did not disappoint them, and immediately stood up angrily, not to say that the generals couldn't swallow this breath, even if they could, he couldn't swallow it, and this was not just asking for bribes from his partial generals and captains, including him, all of whom wanted to pay this thousand taels of gold, this bad breath, General Huangfu Gui would never bear it, and resolutely refused the eunuchs' weak requests, and even released cruel words, would rather be dismissed than compromise.
But no one thought that at this time, the eunuchs had already been powerful, and the eunuchs suffered in front of Huangfu Gui, sneered and walked back to leave Liangzhou, this walk is two months, when everyone is about to forget about this matter, a holy decree finally arrived in Liangzhou again, Huangfu Gui was framed by the eunuch party for refusing the threat and bribery of the eunuch party, and was framed and imprisoned.
And the prison is the North Temple Prison where you will be stripped of a layer of skin after entering.
When Huangfu Gui was arrested and sent to Beisi Prison, when Huangfu Gui was tortured by the eunuchs for refusing the eunuchs' powerless demands to ask for bribes, but the court officials were unable to do anything, the Tai students finally broke out again after many days of fermentation.
And this time the petition was almost the same as the previous one, of course, this time there were more officials who joined, the Tai students once again joined forces with the clan, this time they once again aimed the spearhead at the eunuch group, and after the last time he dealt with such a petition incident, Emperor Huan also had experience at this moment, after all, the situation was similar to the last time in his eyes, so Huangfu Gui was quickly released from prison, but then he was driven back to his hometown prison like Zhu Mu.
