In fact, Liu Hong's IQ is normal, and his reaction ability can be seen from the few recorded conversations. According to records, Liu Hong once asked Yang Qi in the waiter: "Which do you think is better, I or Emperor Huan?" Yang Qi was amused, but he reacted quickly, so he replied: "Eh, Your Majesty is compared to the first emperor, just like Yu Shun Bide Tang Yao!" ”。

This sentence to answer the emperor is very subtle, and the implication is that you and Emperor Huan are actually similar. But few people can react, but Liu Hong reacted immediately, very unhappy, and said a little angrily: "Qing is really strong, worthy of being a descendant of the Yang family, when he dies and is buried, I am afraid that he will be like your great-grandfather, there will be big birds gathered!" ”。

Shortly thereafter, Yang Qi was expelled from the central court and appointed as the Taishou of Runan.

In the spring of 179 A.D., the great epidemic and disaster occurred, of course, to appease the world, so Liu Hong sent the regular attendants and the middle confessors to tour the world and give medicine.

In March of this year, Situ Yuan was dismissed, and Dahonglu Liu He was promoted to Situ. On the 22nd, Taiwei Qiao Xuan was dismissed as a doctor in Taizhong. And Taizhong Doctor Duan Cheng was promoted to Tai Lieutenant. Sikong Yuan Feng dismissed the official. Too often, Zhang Ji was promoted to Sikong.

On April 1st, there was another solar eclipse.

At this time, the court was actually in danger. Some time ago, Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others teamed up with Duan Cheng to form an alliance and wanted to laugh at the world, but is this really the case? Of course not! The so-called extreme must be opposed, and the proverb of the praying mantis catching cicadas is not completely unreasonable.

It is obviously impossible to rely on the alliance composed of Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others and Duan Cheng to be proud of the world; Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of covering the sky with one hand, it is necessary to continuously expand the strength and strengthen the strength of the alliance, so the fathers, brothers, children, and nepotism of these people have been appointed as secretaries, schools, pastors, guards, orders, and chiefs, and for a time the alliance was full of ears and eyes all over the world, and it did achieve the purpose of turning the clouds and rain, but when they were doing the work of corruption and cold-blooded killing, there was already a yellow finch staring at them behind their backs!

This yellow sparrow, yes, is a civilian-official group.

Seven years ago, Chen Qiu, the court captain, spoke up in the court for the burial of the Empress Dowager Dou. Since then, Chen Qiu has been transferred several positions: Tingwei, Sikong, Tingwei, Taichang, Taiwei, Guanglu Doctor, and now Yongle Shaofu. It can be seen that Chen Qiu's ability is not ordinarily strong. He is an official in the central government, just like a tourist, and he is in a good position in exchange for it. Of course, Chen Qiu also knows very well: on his own, he can't take down the eunuch group. So he must unite all the forces that can be united. Soon, he found his first partner to join forces: the representative of the royal family, Situ Liu He.

However, is Situ Liu He useful or not? Because everyone knows that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperors were all soft eggs, and the emperor was not iron-fisted, so could his royal family be useful? But Lord Chen has a different view, and he is still full of confidence in this person.

He believes: first, Liu He's elder brother Liu Lu once supported Liu Hong to ascend the throne with Dou Wu, and as soon as Dou Wu fell, Liu Lu was also killed, and Liu He and the eunuchs had a grudge against killing his brother; Second, Liu He has the strength to fight with the eunuchs, because Liu He's father-in-law is Cheng Huang, a regular attendant, which is a powerful backstage.

"Hmmm! The reason is valid! Master Chen made up his mind and began his lobbying work: "Your brother was killed by Cao Jie and others, don't you want to take revenge?" If you want to report, I have a trouble-free solution to solve the problem without your appearance, you only need to recommend one person in the above table, and you're done! ”。

Liu He, who heard these words, was silent. Of course, the revenge of killing my brother must be avenged! The problem is that the eunuch group is definitely not so easy to deal with, and if you want to take revenge, you must have a very complete method and strategy, and you can't mess around, if this matter is not planned, it will be bitten by a snake.

Before listening to Chen Qiu's words, Liu He politely refused: "It's not that I don't want to take revenge, it's just that now the whole world is the eyes and ears of the eunuchs, and I'm worried that before the matter starts, people will put the knife on our necks first."

But not all people have learned the turtle method, and when they have to shrink their heads, they shrink their heads, or even shrink their heads all the time, there are always turtles sticking out their heads, and this person is Shangshu Liu Na. This benevolent brother has an upright personality and has always been incompatible with the eunuch group, so he was demoted to an infantry captain. When he heard Liu He's statement, he took it out and questioned Liu He: "You are a pillar of the country, seeing that the country is in a mess by eunuchs, can't you bear not to stand up?" ”。

Yes, rising to the level of national security, it can indeed stimulate Liu He, no matter what, the Han Dynasty is the world of his Liu family, and the Han Dynasty is the dynasty of his Liu family, of course, he must fight back when he is plagued by eunuchs, otherwise in the end, maybe this dynasty surnamed Liu will really be lost.

So, Liu He asked Chen Qiu: "Dude, go on, who can you recommend to solve this problem?" ”

Seeing that Liu He's attitude had changed, Lord Chen said word by word: "I only need to recommend your family's relative, Wei Wei Yangqiu, as the captain of the school, so that everything is ok!" ”

Hearing the name of Yang Qiu, Liu He was a little bit psychological, so he nodded silently and said yes.

Chen Qiu, Liu He, Liu Na, Yang Qiu, can this improvised patchwork alliance sweep away the eunuchs, in fact, the main hope is not to be in the first three people, but to recommend the person named Yang Qiu who is the captain of the school in the back! This guy is a powerful character, he was born in a wealthy family, he has a strong personality since he was a child, advocates legalism, is good at swordsmanship, and is very good at kung fu with bows and horses. When he was young, there was an official who didn't know how to bully his mother, to what extent, no one knows, anyway, after this incident, Yangqiu gathered dozens of teenagers and wiped out the official and his whole family, and since then, Yangqiu's reputation has spread in the rivers and lakes...

The reputation of the fierce man was great, and he was recommended as filial piety to enter the officialdom and became an alternate Shangshu squire. Later, the thieves in Jiujiang County were not stopped, and some people recommended that Yangqiu could subdue these guys, and the central government appointed him as the Taishou of Jiujiang to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but Yangqiu lived up to expectations, and soon wiped out the thieves cleanly. is such a fierce man who kills people without blinking, not only has a reputation and official reputation, but also has the recommended conditions, but he also has a characteristic, that is, he hates eunuchs very much, and he has already prepared knives, ready to kill these guys, who are not men or women.

All of this has been included in Chen Qiu's plan to deal with the eunuchs.

In addition, recently, the alliance formed by the eunuch and General Duan has done all kinds of evil, killing people without blinking, which makes the Yang Mengren hate the eunuchs even more.
