0041: Noticed by the eunuchs

Since Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the eunuch group and the scholar group have formed a fierce struggle, they continue to fight for power, trying to strengthen themselves and weaken the strength of the other party, making the court a miasma, many people with lofty ideals choose to retire and resign.

Is this really the emperor's incompetence? This is obviously indisputable, if the emperor is wise and powerful, how can he allow scholars and eunuchs to be so arrogant? The fact is that as eunuchs who are dependent on the imperial power, the reason why they can compete for power and profit with the group of scholars and doctors who hold real power is because of the support of the emperor behind the scenes.

And the reason why Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han supported the eunuchs was for the sole purpose of balancing power. As mentioned earlier, in the early days of Emperor Han Huan's succession, almost all the power of the court was in the hands of his relatives, and as a last resort, Emperor Han Huan introduced eunuchs to help him regain his power. When it came to Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, it was obvious that he also felt that this method was good, and he didn't need to waste his energy to deal with those scholars, so he kept it up.

This was well known to the scholars and doctors, and also to the eunuchs. Therefore, they have been trying to reduce their reliance on imperial power and win over local officials to become officials, which is the method they have come up with and are also implementing. For example, together with Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan, he was known as Liangzhou Sanming, and Duan Yi, who quelled the Xiqiang rebellion, was co-opted by the eunuchs, and in the 3rd year of Jianning, that is, in 170 AD, he was transferred from the local area to the imperial court, and was promoted to Taiwei. Although he was later carried out by the scholars, the eunuchs have re-transferred him to the court as a doctor in Taizhong over the years.

However, over the years, the eunuchs led by Cao Jie and others have attracted more than Duan Yi, they will send their relatives to various places to find potential magistrates to win over, and a place like the Li family, although it is not within the scope of wooing, but Li Yi is different.

In simple terms, prodigies...... Isn't that the best target to woo? And he is young and a small landlord, if he is not closely related to Huangfu Gui, who is on the opposite side of the eunuch group, he is definitely a perfect candidate. But even so, Wang Zhi still tried to win over Li Yi when he came this time, after all, if he could be brought over from the Shidafu Group, it would definitely be a good thing to hit the other party's arrogance.

Li Yi didn't understand these truths, but he still kept a certain distance from Wang Zhi. The reason is also very simple, he has an instinctive rejection of eunuchs.

Li Yi didn't think that eunuchs were all bad people, because he was quite interested in history, so Li Yi knew many loyal and patriotic eunuchs, such as before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Chongzhen was hanging from the coal mountain, only the eunuch Wang Chengen was by his side. And in his opinion, the vast majority of eunuchs are good, or not bad, but because of the emperor's needs, they will always be pushed to the front to fight against the scholar group. For example, Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty.

However, he still rejected the eunuchs, and the reason was very simple, and he was physically unacceptable. Even if Wang Zhi was only a henchman of the eunuch and not a eunuch, he also had the idea of being near and far away. Of course, there is another very important reason, which Li Yi knows very well, that is, if he has too close contact with the eunuch, it will have serious consequences for his future path.

Not everyone is Cao Mengde, after his father recognized the eunuch as his father-in-law, he was still able to mix well in the troubled times in the future. At least, Li Yi didn't think he had Cao Cao's ability.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Yi to show his estrangement from Wang Zhi, otherwise he would have no place to cry if he was wearing small shoes.

One day, Wang Zhi came to visit Li Yi again, but Li Yi's eyes were more on the person next to him. I saw that this person had a dense beard, looked very rough, and was tall and unusually strong, just at a glance, Li Yi thought that this person must be a martial artist.

"Zikang, Zhi will introduce you, this is the time to assassinate Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying! Zhong Ying, this is Li Yi and Li Zikang who do [White Horse Chapter]! Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"Haha! In the past, Zhuo Wen [White Horse Chapter] was made by a 13-year-old boy, which really made Zhuo unbelievable, but now when he sees Zikang, he knows that there is really a prodigy in the world! Dong Zhuo said with a laugh. His smile is very bold, and it inexplicably makes people feel good, which is really difficult to accept for Li Yi, who understands history.

After all, in his impression, Dong Zhuo is a lustful and brutal dead fat man, but now? The body type that has nothing to do with fatness, although it looks rough, but at first glance it is a bold man in the north. "Perhaps, it's because of power? Or is it that you don't know your heart? Li Yi thought strangely, and at the same time his mouth became humble again.

"Dong Tingshi is overrated, that's just a moment of ......emotion," Li Yi said lightly, after more experience, Li Yi's response to these flatteries became more and more relaxed.

The three of them sat down, and under the warm-up of Wang Zhi, the three of them quickly chatted, I have to say that although Dong Zhuo's reputation in history is very stinky, at least now, it still feels quite good to Li Yi. Not only is he bold by nature, but he is also capable.

About an hour later, Wang Zhi and Dong Zhuo said goodbye, leaving a box of ginseng at the same time.

"Zhuo heard that Master Tong Yuantong, the king of the spear, was sick, so he specially found this ginseng, hoping that Master Tong can recover as soon as possible." Dong Zhuo said sincerely, so that Li Yi couldn't find the words to refuse.

Watching the two disappear at the door, and then looking at the ginseng in his hand, Li Yi was speechless for a long time, and suddenly, a low roar sounded at his feet, hearing the sound, Li Yi turned around and patted Xiaobai's head, and shook his head a little helplessly, "Xiaobai, do you know that those two guys are not good people?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Bai looked at Li Yi with a confused expression, and then kept arching Li Yi's calf with his big head, and at the same time, a huge sound came from its abdomen.

"Okay, good~" Li Yi helplessly patted Xiaobai's head and walked towards the house, leaving the troubles brought by Dong Zhuo behind.

Well, Dong Zhuo's impression on Li Yi is indeed very good, but unfortunately, since Dong Zhuo came with Wang Zhi, it only means one thing, that is, Dong Zhuo has already hooked up with the eunuch. In this way, how could Li Yi really be deceived by Dong Zhuo's appearance?

Although all the historical records are not necessarily true, Dong Zhuo's various performances after entering Luoyang obviously have no way to wash the floor. In this way, how could Li Yi let himself and Dong Zhuo get together? You know, many times, when you get on the boat, you can't get off again.
