Chapter 15: The Nature of a Merchant (1)

According to historical records, in January 178 AD, the Wuhu barbarians of Hepu and Jiaozhi counties rebelled, and attracted the people of Jiuzhen and Rinan counties to rebel together; It can be seen that the outside of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not calm at this time; Within the palace, Taiwei Meng Yu was dismissed, and on February 3, Guangluxun Yuan Peng was promoted to Situ.

In February, Liu Hong ordered the establishment of Hongdu Gate School. As we said before, didn't Liu Hong personally do the "Huangxi Chapter", and then recruited some people who could write and speak, and put their compilation under the Hongdu Gate, so what is this Hongdu Gate Study? I don't have to look up the source of this term on the Internet or in the history books, just according to our modern understanding to explain it, the last time I recruited to the Hongdu Gate School, that is, the emperor's disciples, every day with the emperor to chant poems and joke about some people; This time, the Hongdu Gate School will be set up, that is, the emperor will appoint a certain university as the highest university in the country, which is a grade higher than 211 or 985, and the cultivated ones are all useful talents.

I think, I'm afraid the quality of the students cultivated by this so-called institution of higher learning is not very good, think about some of the people that the emperor recruited before put in this school, it was a bunch of big fools, many years of experience in fooling, to cultivate some small fools; If you continue to cultivate such a big fool for a long time, then the people of all ethnic groups in the country will not suffer, such a fool team can fool the Son of Heaven, the dawn, and the civil and military officials, reading this, I am sincerely worried about Liu Hong's policy, and I am also worried about the future of the Han Dynasty.

Think about Qin Shi Huang back then, he was the first person in history, a career-oriented emperor, he should be much stronger than Liu Hong, but in the end, he couldn't avoid the flickering team represented by Xu Fu and others, which shows the power of flickering.

So, the people who come out of the so-called institutions of higher learning will gradually form a power group, can they belong to the group of scholars? The answer is no, first of all, the intellectual class does not accept this gang of big fools, and I divide them into another group, that is, the group of fools.

On March 21, Liu Hong changed the name of the year, and the new name was "Guanghe", and once again granted amnesty to the world;

When we read the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, we often see amnesty to the world, and another amnesty to the world and so on appear frequently, I think the emperor's grace is vast but not necessarily any benefit to the society, such as Song Jiang and others in the Water Margin, who killed people and hid everywhere, often drank with the three religions and nine streams and said a sentence is: Wait for the emperor to amnesty the world, we will be safe, no need to hide. Just imagine, Song Jiang is still relatively good among criminals, at least he is righteous, and he can still pretend to be ordinary people in his heart, but not all criminals are like Song Jiang, some murderers are intentional homicides, such as Zhang Cheng and his son in the era of Emperor Huan, after hearing the inside news, the emperor gave amnesty to the world the next day after killing people on the first day, and the policy of amnesty to the world is really not manifested as the emperor's grace!

In March, Taichang Zhang Hao was promoted to lieutenant.

In April, Sikong Chen was dismissed. Too often come to Yan to be promoted to Sikong.

In the year when Liu Hong changed his name to the era, several strange things happened in the palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you say he was a supernatural event? It doesn't look like it; You say he's a weird thing? It doesn't seem like it. How to judge? Let me tell you:

In April of this year, there was a hen in Shizhong Temple that grew a cockscomb and crowed, and the eunuchs found that the hen had turned into a rooster after many days of observation.

On May 3rd, someone saw a person dressed in white enter the gate of Deyang Palace, everyone thought it was weird, and when they called everyone to look for it, the person disappeared without a trace.

On June 29th, a black gas suddenly fell in the east courtyard of the Wende Palace, which was more than ten zhang long and resembled a dragon.

There were all kinds of strange things in the palace, so Liu Hong was very empty, so he and a group of ministers under him held a meeting in Jinshangmen to study, the host was Liu Hong, the meeting began, Liu Hong made a summary of the strange things in recent months, and then let everyone speak and discuss, and jointly study a plan to deal with it. Yang Ci and Cai Yong had actually written an analysis of these strange phenomena a long time ago, and when they saw the emperor say this, they quickly took it out and handed it directly to the emperor, and after the emperor read it, he only sighed. Liu Hong read Yang Ci and Cai Yong's books for a while, and wanted to go to the toilet, the emperor was together, and the eunuch Cao Jie, who was waiting behind, of course had to move, but Cao Gonggong always wanted to know what Cai Yong and Yang Ci wrote, why the emperor sighed sadly, taking the opportunity of the emperor to get up and get dressed, Cao Jie had already quickly read the content of Cai Yong and Yang Ci's report.

At the end of the meeting, Cao Jie and others shook out the content of the analysis report of Cai Yong, Yang Ci and others on the strange things that happened one after another, and Zhao Rao, Huo Yu, Cheng Daren, Zhang Hao, Wei Zhang, Zhao Xuan, Gai Sheng and others who were named and criticized by Cai Yong naturally had contradictions with Cai Yong.

Hello you Cai Yong, you actually took advantage of the strange things that appeared in the palace to get our black materials, you have delicious food! Anyone who is mentioned and criticized by Cai Yong naturally holds a grudge and always wants to find an opportunity to take revenge.

The opportunity came soon, Cai Yong and Da Honglu Liu He had a bad relationship, and Cai Yong's uncle Cai Zhen was also at odds with Cheng Huang's son-in-law; Cheng Huang even felt that what Cai Yong said in the chapter "Lord Cheng will be a disaster for the country" was talking about himself, so he put on small shoes for Cai Yong in front of the emperor, and he handed over a small report to the emperor: Cai Yong, Cai Qian's uncle and nephew had asked Liu He several times for personal matters, but Liu He refused, so Cai Yong wanted to take revenge and harm Liu He's heart.

After reading this small report, Liu Hong sent Shangshu to summon Cai Yong to ask about the situation. Of course, Cai Yong said that it was a false matter, and later wrote a letter to defend himself, but Liu Hong finally listened to Cheng Huang's words and ordered Cai's uncle and nephew to be imprisoned in Luoyang Prison for strict interrogation, and the relevant departments also thoroughly implemented the spirit of Cheng Huang, and finally judged Cai Yong to be "hated and served the public, and killed the minister" Such a disrespectful crime, the verdict has been put on the emperor's table.

As long as the emperor waved the red pen, the verdict would take effect immediately, and Cai Dacaizi would die, but just when the emperor was about to approve the verdict, a person appeared, and his appearance made Cai Dacai live for another 14 years.
