Chapter 12 Fight Again

Wang Fu and Cao Jie, who haven't spoken for a long time, have actually been looking for flaws, they want to start using Dugu Jiujian to find flaws and seal their throats with a sword, but they never thought that the other party is very tightly defended this time, and they are very united, and it is indeed difficult to find flaws in a short period of time.

But now I have to make a move, because I can't let the other side win! What should I do, as the two masters with the best cultivation were forced to show their swords, since there are no flaws to be found, then simply confuse the public first and disrupt the thinking of these literati who love more truth.

"Let's not forget, when the relative Liang Ji was ambushed, the first emperor Liu Zhi had canceled the qualification of Empress Liang, her cemetery was changed to 'noble mound', and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abandoned Empress Wei Zifu and was buried with Mrs. Li instead. Now that the Dou family is also guilty, how can the Empress Dowager Dou be buried with the first emperor? Wang Fu and Cao Jie pretended to have words.

Literally, this sentence makes a lot of sense. But if you analyze it carefully, there is a logical problem! Liang Ji's crimes are known to the world, and it is natural for Liu Zhi to abolish Empress Liang's qualifications. But Wei Zifu's matter is debatable, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the words of the traitor Jiang Chong, forced the prince Liu Ju, and the father and son fought each other in the palace, causing Liu Ju to commit suicide and Wei Zifu was deposed. But after this incident, Liu Che had already repented. At this time, pulling two things that are fundamentally different together is clearly deliberately confusing!

This trick is actually quite fierce, because they have been dealing with intellectuals for many years, and the eunuchs know their opponents very well, so these guys love to admit death and take it seriously, and use a trick to confuse the public, the purpose is to bring up the topic of Liu Che and Wei Zifu to let the intellectuals discuss with each other, because they also have different opinions on this matter, maybe they can also make them fight internally! They have used this trick countless times, and the hit rate is also very high, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.

However, this time there was no hit.

Li Xian first understood Wang Fu's intentions, so he directly told the other party, "The old man is still the same sentence, Chen Tingwei said it very well, I insist on his opinion!" Obviously, I don't want to eat your set.

Seeing that the other party didn't take the bait, Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others resorted to stalking tricks, I will entangle you, because the eunuchs have also formed a habitual thinking in recent years: The little emperor listens to us! So shouting for a while, so that the emperor is annoyed and unable to decide, come to a "disbandment", and slowly take down this little emperor later, won't everything be fine.

The two sides are like children bickering, you and I are on the bar every word, and hundreds of people in the hall are like hundreds of crows gathered together, arguing non-stop.

Sure enough, the little emperor was annoyed and stood up calmly.

The eunuchs were happy when they saw the emperor standing up, so they lowered their noisy voices, because the emperor must announce the dissolution of the meeting and discuss it at another date! However, the habitual thinking of the eunuchs was not useful this time, and the little emperor suddenly changed his previous way of doing things, only to see him wave his hand and only say one sentence: "Although the Dou family is not Taoist, the queen mother is virtuous and dethroned!" Well, the meeting is dismissed! With that, he quickly left.

The intellectuals have been hiding for a long time, and they have been walking on thin ice for the past few years, working carefully, because they know that there is no way to compete with the eunuchs for the time being, and they are hiding because they want to find an opportunity, and finally this opportunity has come.

So in Liu Hong's era, there was also a situation like the one in Liu Zhi's era, that is, the life-and-death struggle between the civil official group and the eunuch group, but this time the struggle, in addition to the change in the masters who went into battle, the most important thing is that the emperor has changed, Liu Zhi was mainly on the side of the eunuchs, so what about Liu Hong? Which side is he on? To understand this question, we have to move on.

The intellectuals have finally waited for the opportunity to turn over, and to take advantage of this opportunity, they must strike while the iron is hot.

The emperor had just gone back, and before he could take a sip of water, someone reported that Li Xian's recital had been played, and the core content of the recital was to find an important argument to refute Cao Jie and Wang Fu, which read: "When the Empress Dowager Dou framed Liang Guiren, the mother of the Han and Emperor Liu Zhao, and the emperor did not embarrass the Empress Dowager Dou; There is also Empress Yan who once deposed the crown prince Liu Bao, and when Emperor Liu Bao of Han Shun ascended the throne, she still did not touch the mausoleum of Empress Yan. Empress Dowager Dou takes His Majesty as his son, how can His Majesty not take Empress Dowager Dou as his mother? The son has no mother, and the minister has no derogatory king", it is really very convincing,

Sure enough, it was very convincing, and Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, completely let go of his heart. On July 2, 172 AD, Liu Hong issued an edict: bury the Empress Dowager Dou in Xuanling.

This time, with the support of the emperor, the civil official group made a good start after enduring it for a long time, but the struggle against the eunuch group was a protracted war, and the final result was not known without the test of time.

Empress Dowager Dou's body can be regarded as having a final destination and being buried in the ground. But soon, I don't know who actually posted a big-character poster under the Suzaku Que: "The world is in chaos, Cao Jie and Wang Fu killed the Queen Mother, the ministers are all corpses, and there are no loyalists!" ”。

This is obviously aimed at the eunuchs, of course the eunuchs who lost for a while last time were not convinced, and when they saw this big-character poster, they were even more hateful, of course they knew that the opponent was the civil official group. How to deal with this trick, the eunuchs who suffered a little loss last time understand that this little emperor has grown up a little, and his wings are slowly getting a little harder, and he is about to break out of the palm of their hand, which is not so fun.

With this concern of the emperor, after repeated thinking and argumentation, the eunuchs came up with the best countermeasure: borrowing a knife to kill. Where is the knife? In the hands of Liu Hong.

How to borrow? You have to find a way to make the person with the knife hate the person who hates him, so how to hate it, it's very simple, it is to brainwash the emperor, because they didn't brainwash Liu Zhi back then, and now it's Liu Hong's turn.

So these eunuchs who serve the emperor every day took a series of brainwashing actions, and after a while, the emperor Liu Hong, whose personality has not yet been fully shaped, came up with such an idea under the flickering of the eunuchs: "The purpose of that big-character poster is not to scold the eunuchs, nor to scold the ministers, but to scold me!" "What kind of logic is this, it is obviously the eunuch who is scolded, but after careful and careful analysis by some eunuchs, the deeper meaning is: the eunuch is not good, the minister is disloyal, that means the emperor is not good!

Hehe, under the influence of the eunuchs' years of internal strength, the angry Liu Hong immediately gave an order to Liu Meng, the lieutenant of Sili: This big-character poster must be arrested!

It is said that the decree issued by the emperor will soon have results. However, more than a month has passed, and the report of the arrest has not yet been submitted, and the eunuchs are anxious. He sent someone to the office of the lieutenant of Sili to ask Liu Meng, Liu Meng looked at the aggressive eunuch and replied with three words: "No result!" The eunuchs, of course, were very dissatisfied with these three words, and asked, "What does it mean that there is no result?" ”

"I haven't checked yet, how can I get the results?" Liu Meng replied.

Okay, it's too bold to take the emperor's words as a deaf ear. In fact, Liu Meng didn't have the heart to check at all, fools knew what the purpose of the eunuch was, besides, this big-character poster was telling the truth, what was there to check.

When the eunuch group heard Liu Meng's answer, they already understood that Liu Meng was standing in the team of the civil official group at this time, okay, at this critical time, he dared to stand on their side, which obviously didn't want to be mixed.

Soon, Liu Meng received the holy decree that he was demoted for his dereliction of duty.

After Liu Meng was demoted, the position of Sili lieutenant was vacant, of course, the eunuchs had already arranged this suitable candidate, of course, when you heard his name, you would know that the emperor would not object, he was one of the "Liangzhou Sanming", the general of Pingqiang, and the fierce man who has always been vigorous and resolute - Duan Cheng.

Duan Cheng is a hero, for the sake of the border, he has been like a day for decades, the sword comes and goes, and he has never slept peacefully. But why did the eunuchs strongly recommend him to investigate the big-character poster incident? The reason is very simple: Duan Cheng is different from his previous two colleagues, Zhang Huan is from the hardcore scholar group, and Huangfu Gui also thinks that he is in the same group as the scholars. The only exception is this one! The exception for him is not that he has no party or faction, but that he is very obedient to the call of the eunuchs.

As soon as General Duan took office, he showed the spirit of suppressing the rebellion in those years, and after receiving Liu Hong's edict: "Be sure to find out the person who posted and wrote the big-character poster", he quickly arrested more than 1,000 college students in prison.
