Sure enough, after three or two days, Guo Bin got the news that it was the general He Jin, the Taifu Yuan Kui and the emperor Yang Ci, who wrote to the Son of Heaven to intercede for Wang Yun.

Although Yuan Kui is famous, he is not a person with excellent materials. However, he is currently the speaker of the Yuan family in Runan in the court, and he is also a Confucian disciple of the poetry and book heirloom. The Yuan family in Runan has a lot of old friends with the Taiyuan Wang family, so he wrote to the Son of Heaven in order to protect Wang Yun, which is expected by everyone.

And although Yang Ci is already at home, his status in the court is even more irreplaceable compared to Yuan Kui, the temporary prince. Guy is the Taifu since Liu Hong ascended the throne, and he taught Liu Hong how to be an emperor hand in hand, and he is an emperor in the real sense. Liu Hongneng has come to the present step by step, and Yang Ci's contribution is so great that no one in the world can match it. Moreover, even if he was at home, the Son of Heaven's respect for him was still undiminished, not only did he personally inscribe a painting of Zhongtang to him when he was on his birthday, but also raised his eldest son Yang Biao to the position of Wei Wei.

The position of Wei Wei began in the Qin Dynasty and was one of the Nine Qings. Han along the place, two thousand stones in the ranks, Emperor Jing changed its name to Zhongda Doctor Ling. In the first year (143 BC), the name was restored, and its duty was to lead the guards to guard the palace forbidden.

This official position, commanding all the guards guarding the palace ban, and the soldiers under him are undoubtedly the most elite ace troops of the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that the official position of Wei Wei must not only have prestige, but also have a noble identity, and must be the most trustworthy person of the Son of Heaven. Therefore, he needs to have high prestige and high status, because most of the old soldiers under his command who have eyes in the sky have a very good background. Some of them were born in the clan, and some were meritorious heroes, since the time of Emperor Wu, the county has sponsored filial piety and honesty as Langzhong every year, so there are many Lang officials who are also the descendants of local wealthy families.

Lang Guan is considered to be the fastest way to become an official, not without reason.

First of all, Lang Guan is on duty in the palace on weekdays, not only can he learn strategy, literary style, and cardinal, but also can learn the means of game in officialdom, which is extremely training.

Secondly, the protection of the Son of Heaven will form a direct subordinate relationship with the Son of Heaven in name and in fact, most of them may not be familiar with the Son of Heaven, but they are undoubtedly the last force to protect the Son of Heaven, and in a sense, the Son of Heaven is also the "master" behind them, which forms a relationship similar to that of the protégés and former officials in the officialdom.

Third, staying in the palace can make Lang officials have more opportunities to get close to the Son of Heaven, make them easier to become the Son of Heaven's cronies, so that the Son of Heaven can accurately grasp their respective talents and qualities, so as to reduce mistakes in appointing talents, and help reduce administrative losses caused by distrust between monarchs and ministers.

Fourth, the officials have a close relationship with the Son of Heaven, so they will have a special affection for the Son of Heaven. Therefore, after the release of Lang Guan, serving as a minister or local governor abroad can strengthen the control of the Son of Heaven over the locality, so that the entire empire can form a great centripetal force and cohesion with the Son of Heaven as the core, which can deepen the relationship between the central and local governments, and is conducive to further consolidating the centralized power and the authority of the emperor.

It can be said that it is not a lie that the Lang officials of the Han Dynasty are called the reserve and training base of talents in a sense.

Therefore, only people with extremely high status and the trust of the Son of Heaven can suppress these Lang officials, because many Lang officials are from local wealthy families, and this guard captain must have considerable prestige among the Shilin many times to be competent. As for why it is the most trustworthy person of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally because Wei Wei is the last checkpoint responsible for the safety of the Son of Heaven, and no one will hand over their safety to unfamiliar people.

The power of heaven is unpredictable, and when Yang Ci was dismissed because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it made a group of people in the court unpredictable. Just when they thought that Hongnong Yang was no longer treated by the Son of Heaven and was about to fall into the ground, Yang Ci's eldest son, Yang Biao, who was the servant at the time, was promoted to the rank of guard by the Son of Heaven, and Yang Ci himself got a royal pen letter from the prince himself on his birthday. Therefore, after preparing for a long time, the villain who wanted to impeach Yang Ci was silent.

In fact, if you look at Yang Biao's promotion path, it is clear that the Hongnong Yang family has always been the family of the Son of Heaven's cronies, and the Son of Heaven has never regarded the Yang family as an outsider.

From Shizhong (the loose officials directly appointed by the emperor in the palace officials under the Shaofu, the prince's close ministers), to the five officials of the two thousand stones, and then to the Yingchuan Taishou and Nanyang Taishou of the local real power faction, and the Yongle Shaofu who is in charge of the private mansion of the Son of Heaven. This way of promotion, step by step, steady. Starting from the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, he not only has the qualifications in the army, but also has the experience of controlling local affairs, and then he was promoted to the central government and served as the Yongle Shaofu, which shows that he is extremely trusted by the Son of Heaven.

Later, he took over as a servant, although he was no longer in charge of the horse administration except for Chefu, Weiyang and the Son of Heaven, but he took over the examination of the Shaofu in the Western Han Dynasty. His duties are to make bows, crossbows, swords, armor and other weapons, and also to weave ribbons and miscellaneous workers. It can be seen that Yang Biao's saint's family is so generous that it makes people blush.

It is said that Guo Bin's holy family is good, and he is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, but compared with Yang Biao, it is far behind. If it is difficult to understand why the Son of Heaven trusts Yang Biao so much, it can be compared with the characters that everyone in later generations is familiar with. In view of the fact that the TV dramas of the Qing Dynasty were widely disseminated and widely loved by people, the relationship between Liu Hong and Yang Biao can be substituted into the relationship between Kangxi and Wei Dongting.

Liu Hong, Yang Ci, Yang Biao and Kangxi, Wei Dongting, and Wei Chengmo can even correspond one by one. If Wei Dongting and Wei Chengmo are fictional characters, then looking at the experience of Cao Yin, the grandfather of their prototype Cao Xueqin, this relationship may be interpreted to a certain extent.

Therefore, at such a critical juncture, Yang Ci, the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang clan, sent a letter to the Son of Heaven, in order to ask for forgiveness of Wang Yun, which aroused a heated discussion in the court.

In addition to Yang Ci, the general He Jin wrote at the same time, which was a little more meaningful.

The general He Jin was born in a butcher, lost his mother first, and his father He Zhen remarried, and had a son and two daughters, and later, He Zhen also died, and He Jin raised a family of five. Because of his half-sister, he was elected to the palace, became a nobleman, and was favored by Emperor Ling of Han. He Jin was worshiped as Langzhong, and then moved to Huben Zhonglang General, and was appointed as Yingchuan Taishou. In the third year of Guanghe, He Guiren was made the queen, and He Jin also worshiped Zhong, the master craftsman, Henan Yin, and finally because of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was worshiped as a general.

From these few short sentences, it can be seen that He Jin was able to be promoted to general mostly by virtue of nepotism, that is, the relationship between today's Empress He.

There is such a record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Preface to the Concubine: "Han Law, often because of the August count, send the doctor and the court and the minister, in Luoyang Township to read the virgins of the good family, more than thirteen years old, less than twenty years old, beautiful posture, the person who is in harmony with the law is carried back to the harem, depending on whether it is possible, it is used to ascend the palace." ”

From this record, it can be seen that the concubines of the Han Dynasty can be selected among the people. As long as you have the right age, good family background, good posture, and good face, you can enter the harem when you are "counting people" in August every year. When I entered the harem, I was faced with two paths, one was to serve as a palace maid, and the other was to be favored by the Son of Heaven. As long as there is a fate and follows the eye of the Son of Heaven, you can inherit the Son of Heaven, turn the local chicken into a phoenix, and leap from a woman from a good family to a woman of the Son of Heaven.

However, becoming a woman who is the Son of Heaven is only the beginning. Today's Queen He is seven feet one inch tall, which is extremely tall among women. It can be inferred that the He family must be extremely beautiful and suitable for birth and raising, so he was favored by the Son of Heaven and gave birth to the prince Liu Bian. Like many emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, also had several princes, but they died one after another.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was afraid that the prince Liu Wei would also die early like the other princes, so he fostered him in the home of a Taoist priest, called Shi Hou, and at the same time named He as a nobleman, and He was deeply favored by Emperor Ling of Han. In the first year of Guanghe, Empress Song was framed and slandered by Wang Fu, a regular servant of Zhongchang, and Cheng A, a doctor of Taizhong, and was deposed by Emperor Ling of Han and sent to a violent room, and Empress Song finally died of depression.

On the fifth day of December in the third year of Guanghe, this year, Liu Bian was seven years old, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty established He as the queen, and in June of the following year, he posthumously crowned He's father He Zhen as the general of the chariot and cavalry, the Marquis of Wuyang, and was nicknamed Xuande.

Empress He's career is nothing more than the four words "mother and son", and the rapid promotion of the general He Jin is just the blessing that Queen He gave birth to Liu Bian. Whether it is Queen He or He Jin, or even the current infinite glory of the entire Lao He family, it is thanks to Liu Bian's ability to grow up safely, so that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, has an heir who can be entrusted to the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

It may be that in the three years of Guanghe when Jin named He as the queen, the Son of Heaven had already tacitly determined Liu Bian as his heir in his heart.

And He Jin, who is currently in a high position as a general, is precisely because of his poor family background and because he is not a person with outstanding knowledge, so he needs to find allies in the DPRK even more. At this time, Shilin, who was extremely powerful, spread all over the DPRK and China, and controlled public opinion, became his best collaborator.

According to the analysis of Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai, the reason why Yuan Shao was able to enter and leave He Jin's mansion as a reclusive Jingshi was because of the disaster of the party at the beginning. Because He Jin was still in charge of public security, arrest and theft in the area of Beijing. And Yuan Shao, who was busy running around and rescuing the party members who left Beijing, must have asked He Jin for his head.

Therefore, as the son of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shao, as a representative of the scholar class in the Central Plains, and He Jin, who was looking for help from the DPRK and China, needed each other and hit it off.

However, the scholars in the world are not monolithic, and they have formed small groups due to their different origins. The power that the Central Plains Hao clan can control is extremely large, and the area under its control is in the center of the world, whether it is financial resources or talents under their hands, it is an extremely terrifying resource.

However, Liangzhou in the northwest and Bingzhou in the north are naturally different from the wealthy people in the Central Plains because of their proximity to the horse-riding peoples. Although they also use poetry and books to inherit their families, they have always been inextricably linked with the army, and even many families are born because of military exploits, and later urge the disciples of the clan to learn literature, and then slowly transformed. Therefore, the wealthy families in these two places are naturally different from the wealthy families in the Central Plains. Because it is close to Luoyang and is divided from Jizhou, it is more able to get the recognition of the wealthy families in the Central Plains. The Liangzhou Hao clan in the distant Kansai was born far away from the Central Plains Hao clan in its essential form and region, so it was squeezed out by the Central Plains Hao clan intentionally or unintentionally.

Yuan Shao can only represent the Central Plains Shi clan that the Yuan family in Runan is familiar with, and rescuing Wang Yun has become an opportunity for He Jin to win over the wealthy families of Bingzhou, and it also reflects the close relationship between the wealthy families of the Central Plains and the wealthy families of Bingzhou. Guo Jia believes that the reason why He Jin is also trying his best to win over Dong Zhuo should be his temptation to win over the forces of the northwest warlord Hao.

A small Wang Yun case actually involved the cooperation of the Central Plains wealthy family, the Bingzhou wealthy family and He Jin, which Guo Bin could never have imagined at the beginning.

Yesterday, I was shocked to hear that Mr. Li Ao, a famous writer in Taiwan, had passed away from illness, and I couldn't help but sigh that there was another interesting person missing from the world. Mr. Li's criticism of current affairs is straightforward, sharp and spicy; acts as a man, but is unbridled and uninhibited. Dare to think that people dare not think, and people dare not do. On the major issue of national reunification, he has always been sober-minded, firm and unambiguous. It can be described as true and straightforward, and the sword is courageous.
