After more than ten years of secret preparations, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down in less than a year. Once again, the Han court showed its majesty. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty once again felt that his wisdom and prowess were provocative, and the authority of the Han court could not be provoked.

In order to show his martial arts, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty decided to change the name of the era to Zhongping, which means that the world is stable.

The first year of Zhongping.

After the resolution of a major political crisis, there is always happiness and harmony within the ruling circles. The seal of the seal, the reward of the reward.

Huangfu Song worshiped the general of the left chariot, led the Jizhou herd, sealed the marquis of Huaili, and ate 8,000 households.

Zhu Jun worshiped the general of the right chariot cavalry, appointed as the doctor of Guanglu, sealed the marquis of Qiantang, and ate 5,000 households.

Lu Zhi also served as the original official and served as Shangshu.

Zhou Yi added the seal of the general and the Marquis of Shanyang Pavilion.

Cao Cao added the title of General Pingkou and led Jinan to be the prime minister.

Guan Yu was outstanding in front of Emperor Ling, and was awarded the title of Captain of Yueqi and Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Dian Wei came to help the war as a ranger, and after pacifying the Yellow Turban, he only received a reward and did not give him an official position.

Guan Yu was directly assigned to the Northern Army Martial Academy, which was the main force of the regular army of the Han Dynasty and was responsible for the security of the surrounding areas of Luoyang. Emperor Ling likes to reuse commoner children like Guan Yu the most, he has the ability, and at the same time he doesn't have much political foundation, so if he wants to survive in the officialdom, he can only move closer to the emperor.

Although Zhou Yi was named a broken general, he was also given a mansion. But he was just idle, and he didn't lead the army, and the mansion was still the courtyard that Zhou Yi had snatched from Shaofu, but it was just a different name, and the court recognized that Zhou Yi could open the mansion.

After the world was pacified, the political structure of the Han Dynasty returned to the pattern of eunuchs, relatives, scholars, scholars, and local military forces. Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was mediocre and greedy for fun, his political wisdom was indeed not low.

Originally, the Eastern Han Dynasty was ruled by the imperial power and the scholars, but with the passage of peace, the scholars continued to grow, the social foundation became deeper and deeper, and the restraining force on the imperial power became stronger and stronger.

The bureaucracy used by the imperial power to restrain the nobles was also controlled by the nobles. The emperor did not want to be restrained by the scholars, so he could only cultivate those close to him, that is, eunuchs and relatives. The glory and wealth of these two kinds of people are all related to the emperor, and they have a more personal relationship, and the emperor certainly trusts these two kinds of people more. The emperor used eunuchs and relatives to fight against the nobles and the bureaucracy.

The means of countermeasures of the scholars is to constantly strengthen their pictogram of "taking the world as their own responsibility" and occupy the pressure of public opinion.

The interests of eunuchs and relatives are often inconsistent and contradictory, so they check and balance each other. The emperor can only alternately support eunuchs or relatives to maintain balance. As the continuation of imperial power, eunuchs and relatives suppressed the power of scholars and local soldiers, and at the same time, eunuchs and relatives also checked and balanced each other to ensure the stability of imperial power.

Emperor Han Ling is like an acrobat, his colleague throws these four balls into the air, but he can ensure that the four balls do not fall to the ground.

The Han court was still immersed in this refined political structure, but within the larger historical framework, the crisis was rapidly approaching. The arrival of the Xiaoice Period has led to continuous natural disasters in various places, but the court is still talking loudly, and no one has solved the suffering of the people.

The solution of the imperial court was that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty constantly issued edicts against himself, which was also the explanation given by the Confucian celestial induction. Natural disasters must be due to the king's immorality, since the Han Wu Emperor Wannian under the Luntai Edict, the Han Dynasty seems to have this tradition.

But when the conditions of climate change come, the guilt will not solve any problems. After the emperor issued the edict, natural disasters continued, resulting in a serious decline in the prestige of the imperial power and the imperial court. Ignorant people began to believe in folk religions, and the Taiping Sect of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was one of them. The clan no longer fears the imperial power, and has the ability to begin to focus on this supreme position, so that when the sky changes, they all want to establish themselves as kings.

What's even more terrifying is that in order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court has decentralized military and financial power. It is easy to put these two things down, but it is difficult to take them back, small uprisings continue in various places, and the imperial court is not capable of sending troops to quell the chaos, so it can only rely on the local governments to solve the problems themselves. Military and financial power are firmly in the hands of local forces, and can never be returned to the central government.

The extension of imperial power or the emperor's will is based on the huge central finance, and on the basis of the central finance, the bureaucrats and local soldiers will obey the imperial power, and now the financial and military power is distributed, making it more difficult for the central finance of the Han Empire, which was already eroded by the growth of the scholars.

Selling officials may be the way that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the group of eunuchs' relatives came up with to solve the urgent needs of the central government's finances. There are so many official positions in the imperial court, whether they are sold or not, they are controlled by the people of the scholar clan, and the emperor said that it is not counted, it is better to sell them for some money and increase the central finances. At the same time, it can also allow the scholars to compete for the only position they have, so why not?

The emperor has legitimacy and power.

The nobles have money, social roots, fame, and occupy ethics and morality.

Soldiers have force, and there is power in the barrel of a gun since ancient times.

Eunuchs and relatives, as a continuation of imperial power, also had power.

These five political groups are fighting each other for survival, and the groups are fighting with each other.

Zhou Yi, as a bystander, certainly knew the hidden crisis, but in the environment at that time, the political landscape was favorable to everyone, and each power group held its own turf and refused to let go.

It can be said that "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." "The authorities are fascinated, and the onlookers are clear.

But as the saying goes, the best outcome is the arrangement of the moment. This pattern is a multi-party game, Zhou Yi knows the drawbacks, but he has no ability to change it. Zhou Yi simply has no resources in his hands that can change this situation, whether political or economic.

Zhou Yi is now just a fictitious general who is idle at home, and he is quite frustrated in the workplace.

But it doesn't matter, frustrated in the workplace, proud in love. In Zhou Yi's shameless questioning, he finally figured out Cai Yan's true thoughts.

The main reason is still Xiaoxi, a traitor. Miss Cai's secret can't be hidden at all, maybe Cai Yan doesn't want to hide it at all.

Zhou Yi cheekily ran to Lu Zhi's mansion, so that he would let Lu Gong be a matchmaker and propose to the Cai family. Lu Zhi and Cai Yong are close friends, as long as Lu Zhi comes forward, Cai Yong will definitely not object.

Lu Zhi is really a good person, so he didn't listen to Zhou Yi's words, and after asking Cai Yan's opinion, he wrote a letter to Cai Yong, who was avoiding trouble in Wudi, at this time. With Lord Lu as a guarantor, Cai Yong also happily agreed to this marriage. And specially rushed back to Luoyang from Wudi. Most of the people who framed Cai Yong back then were not in power, but Cai Yong could take this opportunity to return from Wudi.

The father-in-law wants to see his hairy foot son-in-law, who has not yet had some psychological pressure.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi is not an unknown person now, and he has the endorsement of Lu Gong, plus Cai Yong is also a good person, Zhou Yi and Cai Yan are interested in each other, in short, everything is happy.
