Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 121 The world is in turmoil
When Guo Bin led the army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhai County, Tang Zhou reported that Ma Yuanyi was torn apart in the city, and the news of the destruction of the headquarters of Taiping Road in Beijing spread all over the world.
When Guo Bin led the army to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhai County, Tang Zhou reported that Ma Yuanyi was torn apart in the city, and the news of the destruction of the headquarters of Taiping Road in Beijing spread all over the world.
When Zhang Jiao heard that the governor was exposed, he raised troops in the starry night, calling himself "General Tiangong", Zhang Bao called "General Digong", and Zhang Liang called "General Rengong". The prophecy was said to the public: "Today, the Han fortune will end, and the great sage will come out." You and others should obey the heavens and be peaceful. "The people of the Quartet, wrapped in yellow scarves from Zhang Jiao, are four or five hundred thousand. The thieves are huge, and the officers and soldiers are in a hurry. With its head wrapped in a yellow scarf, it is called the Yellow Turban Army.
The Yellow Turban Army coerced the homeless people and attacked the prefectures and counties. For every gram and land, they will take the armor and blades in the arsenal, and open the treasury of various places to fund the army. As a result, the momentum became more and more intense, and every time the county, county seat and manor were attacked, tens of thousands of people were at every turn. And the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament has been sparse for a long time, so the states and counties that the Yellow Turban Army has passed through are all looking forward to the wind.
In just one month, there were wars in 28 counties in seven states in the world, and the Yellow Turban Army was like a bamboo, the prefectures and counties were lost, the officials fled, and Kyoto was shaken.
The letter asking for help flew to the desk of the Son of Heaven like snowflakes, and until this time, Liu Hongfang knew that it was powerful, and his heart was very anxious. Hurriedly worshiped He Jin as the general on the Wushen Day in March, and led the five battalions of Yulin to be stationed in Duting, and ordered weapons on the hour, guarding the Beijing Division; It also set up a garrison of the capital lieutenant at the Kyoto Pass such as Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiao~Pingjin, etc.; He ordered all prefectures and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, count weapons, and gather rebels.
At this moment, a letter from Guo Bin, the commander of the cavalry, detonated the court again like a spark thrown into a barrel of explosives.
The book is omitted:
"The Marquis of the Pavilion, the Captain of the Cavalry, and Guo Bin of the Lingyue Cavalry Battalion said again:
Chenben cloth, bow to Yang Zhai. The Son of Heaven is not despicable to his ministers, but reckless. Every time the minister thinks about it, he is grateful and wants to die to repay His Majesty's kindness.
Jinxi is the captain of the cavalry, and under the edict of the Son of Heaven, he led the Yue cavalry battalion to aid Yang Zhai.
By the virtue of the Son of Heaven and the blessing of Lai Zongmiao, he fought with the enemy for half a month, and finally captured the enemy generals alive, breaking more than 30,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and the bells, drums, banners and things that should be violated are not counted. Weichen had the courage to incorporate the Yellow Turban Army into the Yangzhai household register, so that the people who would always be the household would no longer be in chaos. β
Seeing this, Liu Hong smiled happily. Even Zhang Rang, who was standing with caution on the side, was slightly relieved in his heart.
In the past few days, Liu Hong's desk has long been full of distress requests from all over the world, and none of the news in the world has reported good news. Liu Hong, who is the son of heaven, is anxious, and his temper naturally can't get better. This is still fortunate that He Jin saw through Ma Yuanyi's arrangement in Beijing, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable!
Now, only Guo Bin has come with good news, not only with the newly recruited Yue cavalry battalion of less than 1,000 people to defend Yangzhai County, but also to exterminate 30,000 Yellow Turban Army, and compile them into the household registration book of Yangzhai County, becoming a household Qi people. Zhang Rang never thought that Guo Bin would be capable of Ruosi, which can be described as a capable minister. This is really both civil and military, the so-called "Wen can raise the pen to calm the world, and Wu can go on the horse to determine the world", but that's it, right?
This Guo Bin is Liu Hongli's unconventional promotion, and he is Liu Hong's descendant, and he can get such a high achievement, and Liu Hong is also honored.
Looking down the next day, it's not so relaxing.
"However, there are thieves everywhere today, and the thieves are the first to open their horns and claim the way of heaven, and the wind from all over the country responds, enveloping the homeless people, and the momentum is huge. In Yingchuan, except for Yang Zhai, I am afraid that all of them have fallen into his hands. Now, the Yellow Turban Army is equipped with the equipment and armor of the treasury of various prefectures, and the trend of causing chaos in the world has become a trend.
Chaos is born, and the people are hanging upside down; The society is in danger, and the world is in danger. β
Liu Hong didn't expect that outside the Jingshi Division, it would be so tense and critical. He also didn't expect that if Guo Qianyang hadn't been sent back to Yang Zhai in advance, the entire county of Yingchuan County, which was close to the Beijing Division, might fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army. Seeing this, Liu Hong was also anxious, if the foundation of the ancestors fell into my hands, what face would I have in the future to go underground to see the ancestors and ancestors!
"However, the ministers of the guards are unremitting inside, and the loyal people forget themselves outside, and want to die to repay the country's kindness. "Tang Oath" said: "Seek the Yuan Sheng, and work with it to rule the world". Your Majesty can unite all the forces that can be united, fight hard against thieves, and make great efforts to govern the country, then the peace of the world can be counted in the future. β
Guo Bin's words made Liu Hong's heart settle down a little. Even if the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, there are still a group of loyal people who are looking towards our Han Dynasty in their hearts. Guo Qianyang said that we should unite all the forces that can be united, what does it mean?
"Emperor Shizong Xiaowu of the Holy Dynasty was first established, and Wei Qi and Wu'an Hou were long and Confucian. and Zhongshu countermeasures, pushing the Kong family, and suppressing the hundred schools. The officials who established the school, the state and county raised Maocai, filial piety and honesty, all from Zhong Shu. Aesthetic education, change customs. The so-called education of etiquette is also small, and its evil is also not formed.
If the people are large, they will know the way of the monarch and the minister, and if they are small, they will know the righteousness of filial piety and virtue. So that the monarch and the father and son have their own duties, so that the loyal ministers are more loyal, and the filial sons are more filial. In this way, ~ the people will be at peace with each other, and they will no longer be traitors, and even spy on the artifact, causing chaos in the world.
Gaozu uses his uncle and grandson to pass, then everything is as it is, and those who dare to make noise and rudeness are known to be the emperor's nobles.
Culture is virtual, martial is real; Fiction is born from reality, and reality is virtual. Carry the Tao with text, enter the Tao with martial arts; Teaching is at the top, and it is transformed into the bottom. β
The so-called "Emperor Xiaowu of Sejong" refers to the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history, "Wei Qi" refers to Dou Ying, Marquis of Wei, and Marquis Wu'an refers to Tian Wei, who served as prime minister twice. From this time on, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to advocate Confucianism. When Dong Zhongshu took countermeasures, he openly and openly admired Confucius's Confucianism, and suppressed or even deposed other hundred schools. And things like the establishment of schools and the ordering of various states and counties to promote Maocai and filial piety also began at this time.
The history of the rise of Confucianism, doesn't Liu Hong, who is the Son of Heaven, know it? Don't the ministers in the court know? I don't know what Guo Bin said, why? Then look down, and here's the point.
"The purpose of etiquette and religion is to let the people know what can be done and what cannot be done. Missionaries, party members also. Although the minister is young, he has also tasted the disaster of the party. The minister thought: Wei is turbid, and jade is gravel. The nature of things is both zoned, and the evil is subordinate. There is no merger, and the pin looks like each other. Hate the ointment in vain, and burn the lamp. β
Seeing this, Liu Hong was furious in his heart, and almost got up with the case.
Okay, you Guo Qianyang, I asked you to exterminate Taiping Dao and rush to the aid of Yangzhai County, not only to serve the imperial court, but also to protect your family business in Yangzhai County! But you're good, now it's time to take care of the party's affairs? On the surface, the disaster of the party is caused by the contradiction between the eunuchs and the party members, and the partiality of the Son of Heaven for the eunuchs. But is that really the case? If that's the case, you'd be naΓ―ve.
As the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, what are you afraid of? Is it a foreign invasion? Is it the poor revolt? No, at this time, Siyi Binfu, Yanping in the sea, and the strong force of the Han Dynasty are all diseases of moss. The henchmen who really made the Son of Heaven feel afraid and frightened were not outside the imperial court, but the scholar class in the imperial court.
Why? Because these scholars are really the main body of officials in the DPRK and China. At the highest level of them is the important minister of the court who is the three princes and nine kings, and is the main deputy of the Son of Heaven; The lowest level extends to the countryside, and is the villager who controls the customs and education of the countryside; In the middle were officials at all levels of the Han court, the main ruling class of the Han Dynasty.
The first disaster of the party was caused by the contradiction between the party members and the eunuchs. The specific cause can be traced back to the Emperor Huan dynasty.
In the ninth year of Yanxi (166 AD), the eunuchs Zhao Jin, Hou Lan and other henchmen committed crimes with Zhang Fan, Xu Xuan and others, and deliberately committed crimes before the amnesty, hoping to escape punishment, while officials Cheng Jin, Zhai Chao, Liu Zhen, Huang Fu and other officials were not afraid of the powerful and still dealt with these people according to the law after the amnesty. The eunuchs and others made suggestions to Emperor Huan, and Emperor Huan listened to the words of one side and punished these officials heavily. This is the official version of later generations.
It is said that Emperor Huan's disposition is also understandable. Originally, the meaning of amnesty to the world was to not blame the past, no longer pursue the problems of the past, and give a new opportunity to start anew, which was the means by which the Son of Heaven showed favor to the world. Even if these eunuchs and henchmen take advantage of the law, it will not be your turn to punish them for violating the edict of the Son of Heaven to amnesty the world. In this way, it is clear that you do not take imperial power into account, and if you take the wrong side politically, it is a matter of attitude. Limited ability can be tolerated, but incorrect attitude is intolerable.
Originally, this matter was like this, but Chen Fan, the important minister of the court, the third prince, and Liu Mao, the Sikong of the three dukes, together gave advice to Emperor Huan, which made the Son of Heaven angry: You are clearly a party and want to empty the Son of Heaven from top to bottom! Even if you don't think so, it's a mistake to have this ability.
Not only that, they are all people of noble character, with nicknames such as "Three Gentlemen", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", "Eight Kitchens" and so on. At that time, people regarded these people as gentlemen, and the ministers of the court, from the minister to the minister, were afraid of being accused and derogatory by them, and they all came to visit them. This is clearly a moral kidnapping! In the name of morality, these party members coerced the officials of the court to attach themselves to them, which made the Son of Heaven very unhappy. There's no reason to worry.
Thus, the first disaster of the party began.
The second disaster of the party involved the power struggle between the eunuchs and their relatives.
Emperor Liu Hong was not the son of Emperor Huan in the first place, and the general Dou Wu and the Empress Dowager Dou asked him to be the Son of Heaven because they wanted to support such a little emperor as a puppet. If things are allowed to develop like this, whether Liu Hong can grow up ~ is difficult to say. Who can guarantee that in order to continue to maintain control of the government, Dou Wu and the Empress Dowager Dou will kill Liu Hong before he grows up, and then support a new little emperor?
Therefore, the death of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, and even Li Ying and others were dismissed again and imprisoned for life, which is only the result of political ~ struggle. The more his subordinates ask for the removal of the party, the more the suspicion of the Son of Heaven will increase, and how can he calmly remove the scourge of the party?
Therefore, seeing Guo Bin's words, Liu Hong felt unhappy in his heart: It is clear that I am the cavalry captain who I picked up with one hand, do I still have to speak to the party? However, intuition made Liu Hong suppress the anger in his heart, and he knew that Guo Bin was not such a bad person, so he was patient and continued to watch.
"Those who wield the sword of history are also party members."
This sentence made Liu Hong frightened and shocked. You are the son of heaven, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the only thing you care about is the name of the future generations. The pen is like a knife, who comes to the world and doesn't want to leave a good reputation? What's more, it is Liu Hong, who is the son of heaven? When he boarded, Liu Hong calmed down and carefully read the content behind.
"Qin Shi Huang burned poetry books and pit warlocks, and the six arts have been lacking ever since. Everyone thought that the tyranny of the ages ~ politics.
Therefore, Chen involved in one move, and the people obeyed. Lu Jia, Li Shiqi, and Shusun Tong are all Confucians. Gaozu used it, then Nanyue was attached, the king of Qi descended to Han, and the Han rites were first formed. Liuhou, after the royal family of Benhan, assassinated the king of Qin, helped Gaozu, and won the world.
These are all pure and virtuous ministers, and they are of the same origin as the party. β
Lu Jia, Li Shiqi, and Shusun Tong are all Confucian scholars in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and Shusun Tong was once a doctor in the Qin court, and later joined Liu Bang, and customized a set of etiquette systems for Liu Bang after he ascended the throne in the early Han Dynasty. And Liuhou refers to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liangben was a descendant of the Korean royal family during the Warring States period, and devoted his life to the destruction of the Qin Dynasty, and had repeatedly plotted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, all of which ended in failure.
"Today, the smoke is everywhere, the world is in chaos, it is advisable to lift the party~ ban, send the world, so that they can recruit volunteers to fight against the yellow turbans. This generation is still with integrity, so they all fight to the death; Although the Zhan Sect was wiped out, there was no recklessness. If Your Majesty can reuse the party, the world will respond. The gentry in the village built forts to resist the enemy, and the wealthy families in the city did their best to defend the city. If the Yellow Turbans have no food to eat and no soldiers to use, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be extinguished in a few days.
Otherwise, the party will accumulate for a long time, and if you conspire with the Yellow Turban, you will regret it and there is no help.
The so-called 'protector of the country, his king and his ministers, meat eaters seek it; Those who protect the world are cheap, and they are responsible'.
Chen Guo Bin cried bloody. β
After reading Guo Bin's last words, Liu Hong pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but pay more and more attention to Guo Bin in his heart.
Guo Bin is not a member of the party, and he spoke for the party members and asked for the removal of the party, not to curry favor with the party, which Liu Hong particularly valued. Regarding Guo Bin's proposal to mobilize the heroes in the township to raise troops against the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong also very much agrees with it in his heart. The same is true of the solution he proposed after discussing with He Jin and others at the beginning.
And Guo Bin's mention of "the party has accumulated for a long time, if you conspire with the yellow scarf, you will regret it and there is no help", which poked Liu Hong's weakness. What he feared was that the party members were resentful, and if they really colluded with the Yellow Turban Army, then they would really have no regrets. Because, without culture and without a political program, the peasant uprising is not unsolvable, no matter how big the disturbances are; Once the peasant war has a political program and a guiding ideology, it will pose a fatal threat to the government.
(Author's note: Last night, the famous Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong passed away in Kaohsiung Hospital at the age of 89.) is contemptible and stubborn, in my impression, the afterglow is roughly equivalent to "Homesickness". However, this is by no means a reason to offset the reverence and mourning for this patriotic poet.
Salute to Mr. Yu, and wish to go all the way. οΌ
