Text Chapter 4 Qing Discussion and Party Membership (2)
The new official took office three times, not to mention Li Ying, who had been working hard for several months, was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent, he aimed at the sissy eunuchs who didn't have a long beard.
Xiaohuangmen Zhang Rang was named the Marquis of the Duxiang for participating in the killing of Liang Ji, in fact, Li Ying did not want to fight with Zhang Rang, the situation is like this: Zhang Rang's younger brother, Yewang County Commander Zhang Shuo heard that Li Ying was released from prison and became his own top boss, without saying a word, he immediately rolled up the cover and fled overnight! Why run away? It must be a thief! Zhang Shuo thinks: Brother Zhang Rang's family should be the safest, and Zhang Rang also felt that his family was fine, so he let his younger brother hide in the wall!
Li Ying heard that Zhang Shuo came to Zhang Rang's place, and immediately led people to arrest him, he searched and searched, and finally found the wall, broke through the wall, and arrested Zhang Shuo into Luoyang Prison, and after the interrogation was completed, he was immediately killed!
As soon as Zhang Rang saw that his brother was killed, he ran to Emperor Liu Zhi to cry his nose, and Liu Zhi called Li Ying and asked what was going on? It means: You haven't reported this matter yet, and my brother hasn't approved it, so why did you do it?
Who knew that Li Ying replied sternly, "In the past, Confucius served as a secretary in Lu State, and he executed Shao Zhengmao in only seven days, and I have been in office for ten days, and I am worried that this case will drag on for too long and there will be problems, so I have to cut it first and then play it, I thought it was too slow for you to blame, but I didn't expect you to blame me for starting too fast." Zhang Rang next to him shuddered when he heard this: "Ten days is still slow, won't all of us eunuchs be killed by you in those hundred days?" Thinking of this, Zhang Rang shuddered, this is really terrible!
Looking at the emperor's reaction again, after hearing Lord Li's words, he was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and finally could only shake his head and sigh, and said to Zhang, "Your younger brother is indeed guilty, and it is natural for people to treat him, why did you ask me to call Captain Si Li?" He turned his head and said to Li Ying, "Okay, it's none of your business, go back!" ”
The leader of the alliance used mediation, and there was no chain of Tai Chi gossip, so Li Ying returned home unscathed and became famous overnight. The eunuchs were afraid, from Xiaohuangmen to Zhongchang, they trembled at the mention of Li Ying's name, they were like walking on the tip of a knife, cautious, for a while, they didn't even dare to leave the palace.
Liu Zhi, the leader of the alliance, saw that the eunuchs were so abnormal recently, so he asked what was going on? As a result, the eunuchs replied in unison: "No way! Your Majesty, it's not that we don't want to go out, it's that I'm too afraid that Li Ying will come to the door......" After this publicity, Li Ying suddenly became famous all over the world, and everyone knew about it. For a while, all the readers in the world were proud to know Li Ying, and they were ashamed not to know Li Ying, once they were received by Li Ying, just like a certain star saw a photo with a certain dragon set and was published on the Internet, the dragon set was immediately famous. The people called Dengli Yingmen Denglongmen. It means: As long as you enter Li Ying's door, it is equivalent to a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and it is difficult to think of being famous...
Li Ying became the spiritual leader of the scholars of the Han Dynasty, and became the idol of the college students, and since then he has ascended to the position of the leader of the martial arts and decency. At this time, there were more than 30,000 students in the major colleges and universities in Luoyang, the capital, and the leaders among the students were two well-known figures in the academic world: Guo Tai and Jia Biao, and Li Ying, Chen Leboya and Ziqi.
This Li Yingzi Yuanli, so the Jianghu people sent the nickname: "Li Yuanli", Chen Fan's word Zhongju, the Jianghu people sent the Ya name "Chen Zhongju", Wang Changzi Shumao, the Jianghu people called "Wang Shumao", and according to their respective characteristics, summarized as: Li Yuanli, the world's model Li Yuanli, not afraid of power Chen Zhongju, the world's handsome Wang Shumao, now, the spring of the scholars and doctors is coming, with Li Ying, Chen Fan as the main and deputy leaders, with Guo Tai and Jia Biao as the head of the Propaganda Department, the leaders and ministers cooperate with each other, complement each other, they realize the Dugu Nine Swords, Found the flaw in the Sunflower Treasure Book, this duel, at least they are not at a disadvantage!
Realized the Dugu Nine Swords and temporarily cracked the Sunflower Treasure Book, all this is really good, however, the decent people who have just realized the Dugu Nine Swords are happy too early, because they don't have the guidance of the old people who are clear and clear, and they don't know that the way of martial arts is endless.
Soon, as the cultivators of the Sunflower Treasure Book, the eunuchs who discovered the shortcomings in their martial arts and made up for them in time stood up again. Because they knew that Dugu Jiujian was also very powerful, he specialized in finding other people's flaws, so when they were immersed in the joy of victory and had not woken up, they killed them all, or they didn't do it, and they had to be fast, yes, fast is the first key to the Sunflower Treasure Book, don't forget, Li Ying killed one of them in 10 days and said that the speed was slow!
The eunuchs not only learned the speed of the Sunflower Treasure Book, but also learned the key of Dugu Jiujian "to find flaws", so the eunuchs quickly made a move, because the opponent's flaws appeared! Here's the thing: there was a split within the group of scholars, and for the sake of differences in doctrine and political opinions, they all claimed to be gentlemen and derogated each other as villains...
"Party people", a new term appeared, this word came from this: Liu Zhi has not yet ascended the throne, when he was still the Marquis of Liwu, his teacher at that time was Zhou Fu of Ganling, and later after Liu Zhi became Emperor Huan of Han, he promoted his teacher Zhou Fu to be a scholar, and Fang Zhi, who was also from Ganling with Zhou Fu, was Henan Yin at that time, and both of them were famous in the current dynasty. The nursery rhyme sings that "the rules of the world, Fang Bowu (Fang Zhizi Bowu) was printed by Zhou Zhongjin (Zhou Fuzi Zhongjin) because of his teacher", the guests and protégés of the two families attacked each other, and gradually became enemies, and the name of "party man" that swept the world in the future was generated from the Zhou and Fang families in Ganling.
Well, having explained the origin of the "party members", let's talk about the scourge of the party.
The disaster of the party caused the two counties of Nanyang and Taiyuan. There is a rich man named Zhang Fan in Wan County, Nanyang County, who is a relative of Liu Zhi, the nurse of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. Cen Hui and Zhang Mu arrested him and imprisoned him in the name of Cheng Jin. The eunuchs also stressed righteousness, and worked hard to get a pardon order from Liu Zhi, seeing that Zhang Fan was expected to be released from prison, Cen Hui was anxious, and actually persuaded Cheng Jin to behead Zhang Fan and more than 200 guests of his clan according to law.
There is a small yellow gate called Zhao Jin in Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, who is usually corrupt and indulgent, and is only a county hegemon. Taiyuan Taishou Liu Zhen also ordered his subordinate Wang Yun to arrest Zhao Jin, and regardless of Liu Zhi's pardon order, Zhao Jin was executed first and then played.
Now, things are going to be big! How dare a county guard not take the emperor's pardon in his eyes? Did you scholars eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Zhang Fan's wife, at the instigation of the Zhongchang attendant Hou Lan, beat the drum and shouted grievances. Liu Zhi was furious and ordered Cheng Jin and Liu Zhen to be imprisoned for strict interrogation, and the final verdict was: both of them committed the crime of great disrespect and should abandon the city.
At this moment, Zhang Jian, the superintendent of Shanyang Taishou Zhai Chao, led people to destroy the huge undead built by Hou Lan for his mother and confiscated all his assets. There is also Huang Fu, the prime minister of the East China Sea, who beheaded Xu Xuan, the nephew of Xu Huang, one of the five marquis, and ordered Xu Xuan to abandon the city. Zhai Chao and Huang Fu were punished to serve hard labor in the right school.
In order to save these four people, Taiwei Chen Fan and Sikong Liu Mao jointly signed a letter, but Liu Zhi did not listen, but was impeached by the eunuch, Liu Mao was afraid of getting into trouble, and did not dare to admonish again, but Chen Fan, as the leader of the scholars, was more persistent and continued to write to the emperor, this time Liu Zhi issued an edict to reprimand. The eunuchs also hated Chen Fan deeply, and only considered that he was too famous, and they didn't dare to harm him for a while.
Not only did the important ministers of the court and the central government complain about the grievances of the two people, but the local government also kept writing books to save the four people, and Liu Zhi ignored them even more. If they spoke politely, Liu Zhi asked them to dismiss and return to their hometown.
However, the painless book did not push the story to a climax, and an intentional homicide case finally completely ignited the life-and-death duel between the two major factions of scholars and eunuchs, and provoked the disaster of the party!
The mastermind of the murder case is a man named Zhang Cheng Tianshi, the so-called Tianshi, is a fortune teller who can pinch and calculate, this person is also very popular in the gossip world, and he was even counted in the palace, and he came and went, which has a good relationship with the eunuchs, and even climbed up to Liu Zhi, the emperor of Han Huan, and often studied hexagram together.
This Zhang Cheng, maybe when he was telling fortunes, he didn't know who didn't have his money or benefits, and offended him, so he had to want to kill this person, but he had no chance, after all, the law of the Han Dynasty couldn't kill people casually. But he never gave up the idea of killing that person, and finally, when he was chatting with the eunuchs one day, he got a definite news: the emperor is going to give amnesty to the world again! He managed to find out the exact time when the edict was issued, so he went home and instructed his son to kill the man he had been trying to kill.
After Li Ying, the captain of Sili, found out, he arrested Zhang's father and son and prepared to bring them to justice... But Li Ying soon found out that this Zhang Cheng was different from other criminals, he didn't panic at all, and secretly told his son: "Don't be afraid, in a few days, we will definitely be released from prison safely...!" ”
Sure enough, soon, an order was issued from above to amnesty the world, demanding that Li Ying be released! The explanation in the history books is that Zhang Cheng calculated that Liu Zhi would soon issue a pardon.
"This person's fortune-telling skills are so skillful?" Li Ying muttered when he received the pardon, but he didn't panic, because he had carefully investigated the details of this person before, and he believed that there were absolutely no ghosts in this world, and this person usually frowned at the eunuchs, which was very disgusting, "Close contact with eunuchs!" Li Ying suddenly seemed to realize something, this matter is by no means simple, if you don't get it right, you may be burned, it is likely to be a trap, what to do, you have to come up with a countermeasure quickly......
At night, Li Ying locked himself in the study alone and thought about it, if he killed this person, then the emperor would definitely blame him, behind him was the eunuch group, and the eunuchs would rush to him as soon as he died, and this person had a good relationship with the emperor, so he couldn't get himself in! If this person is released, he has not committed any crime, nor has he been derelict in his duties, but just let a murderer who intentionally kills go unpunished? You must know that he represents the eunuch group, how will the literati in the world see him, as the leader, he is an example for all the literati, so it means compromising with the eunuch group, what should I do? After a long period of thinking and contradictions, finally, the temperament of the literati is a doctor prevailed, and finally, he made up his mind that he wanted to set an example for the world's scholars, that is, to fight with the eunuch group to the end!
The result is of course very simple, like Cheng Jin and Liu Zhen, Li Ying also cut Zhang Cheng and his son in prison!
History is history, and the description of this incident in the history books is just a few sentences, but in my eyes, these few short sentences are likely to be a shocking conspiracy at that time: Zhang Cheng's father and son killed people, but it was just a play staged by the eunuchs, a play to play with Li Ying, what Zhang Cheng killed and why he killed, I can't see it in the history books, leaving space and blind spots. However, in my opinion, the eunuchs just wanted to use Zhang Cheng's father and son to attack Li Ying. Aren't you awesome? Do you like to kill people who are corrupt and pervert the law? That's good, this Zhang Cheng father and son are in front of you, see if you dare to kill, if you kill it, you just don't take the emperor's pardon in your eyes; If you don't kill, it only means that you are a bad seed... So this is obviously a trap, however, Li Ying jumped in!
Dugu Jiujian, who was learned the essence by those who practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book, they saw Li Ying's shortcomings clearly, and also saw the shortcomings of literati being doctors, that is, they regarded their names and ideals and the principles of life above all else!
Soon, the eunuch encouraged Zhang Cheng's students to sue Li Ying, but the content of the accusation was not that Li Ying did not take the emperor's pardon in his eyes, but that Li Ying had formed a gang and pulled scholars from all over the country into his team, touting each other, commenting on current affairs, and criticizing the government, so as to influence public opinion.
The eunuchs have learned wisely, they have not only found the death hole of intellectuals, but also found the death hole of His Majesty the Emperor, the emperor is most afraid of the ministers forming gangs, they know that "not taking the emperor's pardon in their eyes" This set is no longer very easy to use, because the last time the emperor did not pursue much.
The prison cultivator was filled with indignation, adding fuel to the fire, and the eunuchs added fuel to the fire, and soon the boss was very angry, and the consequences were very serious, because this time the crime was to form a gang and threaten his own country, Liu Zhi raised his knife, and he was ready to fall.
"Arrest all these rebellious party elements and inform the world," Liu Zhi issued an edict.
However, Liu Zhi didn't expect that at this time, there was a tiger blocking the road and his edict was returned! You may not know that the three mansions of the Han Dynasty, Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong are all under the control of Chen Fan, and the emperor's edict must be given to the three mansions first, but when they arrived at the three mansions, Chen Fan returned all the edicts and told Liu Zhi, "All the people you arrested are famous people in the world, they are loyal to the country, and they should be forgiven even if they commit crimes, but the charges you convicted them are vague, we don't agree!" ”
Grandma's! Forget that this Chen Fan is also from the Shidafu Group! Liu Zhihuo is even bigger, okay! Do you have great strength, or is it my trick?
This time, he didn't need Sanfu, and directly sent someone to arrest people!
got the emperor's order, just like the terrorist organization Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, or the secret bureau under Lao Jiang, these spies acted quickly, and it didn't take long for more than 200 college students and high-ranking officials, including Li Ying, Du Mi, Chen Xiang, Chen Yu, Fan Fan and other well-known personalities, to be arrested.
Chen Fan couldn't hold back anymore when he saw this, he played again, of course, his tone was very tactful: "Your Majesty, you have to restrain yourself, don't get angry, that's not good for your health, wait......"
"Roll up the cover tomorrow and get out"! Chen Fan's reply this time was just that.
Bombed away the hindering Taiwei Chen Fan, and arrested so many so-called Li Ying's henchmen, Liu Zhi was quite satisfied with his iron fist, "I want to tell all of you that this world is mine, I am alone, and I can only count if I say it."
"Emperor, you have arrested so many people, why don't you come to arrest me, I am also one of the famous rebels......", where did this Monkey King jump out? Liu Zhi looked at the signature at the end of the letter, Duliao General Huangfu Gui, Liu Zhi smiled, "Heh! This buddy, hehehe......" Liu Zhi felt funny, and after laughing, he threw the letter in the trash can and ignored it.
Let's talk about the current Duliao general Huangfu Gui, when Liang Ji was arrogant, Huangfu Gui and Liang Ji worked against each other; After Liang Ji fell, Huangfu Gui fought against the eunuchs again. Because of this, the eunuch knocked him down, and later more than 300 Tai students led by Zhang Feng collectively petitioned to intercede on his behalf before he was released.
However, Huangfu Gui's specialty is not to fight against these sissy eunuchs with no beards, but to fight with the border rioters. Therefore, in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, including the scholars, Huangfu Gui was one of the famous generals of the 'Liangzhou Sanming', not a famous man.
He was not in the mood to be a general, his resignation report was not approved before, and the legal violations he did were seen through by others, so he kept waiting for the opportunity in his heart. However, this time, the opportunity came, watching the literati and the emperor eunuchs come and go, the literati are famous all over the world because they are on the list, which actually makes the general have a sense of loss, he really wants to brush the sense of existence again, how to brush the sense of existence, unlike now, there are Weibo, Kuaishou, etc., at that time, he felt that the best opportunity was to use the literati is a doctor, and he also wanted to leave a name on the list of literati is a doctor......
The emperor may think he was joking, but Huangfu Gui was not joking, he searched for chapters and sentences, and with good logic, he classified himself as a "chaotic party".
But Liu Zhi was not confused, he was not fooled, he knew that the root of this emperor's illness was that he was unwilling to do his job and wanted to resign, and now there are civil uprisings everywhere, and only he can suppress it, so no matter how the emperor confesses his crime, Liu Zhi turns a deaf ear.
The emperor moved to kill, and when he got up, the knife was about to fall, and first the sword of the alliance leader fell to Cheng Jin and Liu Zhen. The world feels sorry for them.
After the alliance leader killed these two people, suddenly his hands seemed to be a little weak. So he paused again.
Besides, the literati who went to prison were on the doctor's side, and they kept trying to find a way to get out, and the people outside were also trying to find a way to save them.
You must know that without the order of the alliance leader, there are N undefeated guards in the East outside the cell, and it is indeed not so easy to rescue the people in the prison. However, any difficult thing in the world, there will always be someone to solve it, there will always be people to challenge Mount Everest, which exceeds the limit of human beings, and there is no shortage of talents among decent people, just when everyone is helpless, there is a martial arts master who appeared, this brother is the one mentioned earlier, one of the college student leaders, Jia Biao!
Speaking of this buddy, the official at that time was not big, equivalent to the level of a county magistrate. Maybe no one could believe at that time that a sesame petty official at the level of a county magistrate had any miraculous skills that could save more than 200 people from the emperor? Don't believe it, people have done it, and it can be said to be beautiful. I have to say that Jia Biao, who is engaged in academic works, has not become a wooden nerd like many readers, and his mind is full of wisdom.
His approach was: find two people, two people who can do things.
One is Dou Wu, the captain of the city gate, and the other is Huo Zhen, a scholar. Dou Wu, as we mentioned earlier, is the biological father of the current queen Dou Miao, and the No. 1 relative of Tianzi. When Liang Ji was in power, no one dared to speak more, but this guy was not afraid of death, and the joint Shangshu Ling was repeatedly played, revealing Liang Ji's scars, after Liang Ji's death, Liu Zhi rewarded Huo Zhen's integrity and named him the Marquis of Yedu Pavilion.
Jia Biao had already prepared his rhetoric, and with a little tongue skills, he persuaded the two of them, and they promised that they would come forward to rescue the celebrities!
A few days later, Dou Wu used his status as a prince to write this letter to the emperor: Since your ascension to the throne, I have not heard of you practicing good governance, but I have only heard that you have promoted many eunuchs and let them illegally obtain titles; Don't forget that the Western Han Dynasty was lost in the hands of a group of treacherous villains, if you are obsessed with it, the story of Zhao Gao and Qin II may repeat itself! The letter pierced the dark sky like thunder, and the spearhead was directed at the eunuch.
This Taishi is not an ordinary person, he not only wrote such a letter, but at the same time, he said that he was sick and resigned, and packed and handed over the official seal of the captain of the city gate and the Hou seal of the Marquis of Huaili!
Over there, when Emperor Huan hadn't recovered from his father-in-law's actions, Dou Wu went out on the front foot, and Huo Zhen on the back foot came again!
Liu Zhi originally had a good impression of Huo Zhen, so he chatted with him about Dou Wu's resignation, Huo Shangshu saw that the opportunity had come, so he began to discuss the rhetoric that had been prepared for discussion, and finally made sense of Liu Zhi.
So he summoned Wang Fu, a regular servant, and asked him to interrogate Fan Fu and others, this Wang Fu is a smart person, he saw that Liu Zhi didn't want to play anymore, and wanted to calm things down, so Wang Fu's interrogation also went through a formality, and he was ready to close the case.
On June 8, 167 AD, Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to change the Yuan Dynasty and once again granted amnesty to the world. The original so-called more than 200 party members were all repatriated to their hometowns, and in order to prevent future troubles, Emperor Huan ordered them to register all of them and deprive them of political power for life! The meaning is obvious: if you want to unite against me, I won't give you a place to use it, so what can you do to me?
After being released from prison, Fan Fan went to see Huo Zhen, but he didn't thank him, someone asked, Fan Fan replied, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Uncle Xiang didn't go to Qi Xi to thank him, I just imitated the ancients, what's wrong?" Fan Fan returned to his hometown of Runan County, and came to greet him with Dr. Nanyang, who had thousands of vehicles lined up several streets. Fan Fan couldn't help but sigh to fellow villagers Yin Tao, Huang Mu and others, "You are doing this to harm me again", and since then he has been closed and has not been out of the house.
When Liu Zhi issued an edict to all counties and countries in the world to search for party members, Shi Bi, the minister of the Plains State, insisted on not arresting a single person, and the spies asked, "There are a total of six counties in Qingzhou, and 5 of them have party members, why is it that only you have no people in the Plains Country?" Shi Bi replied righteously, "If you tend to serve your superiors, frame the good, and punish indiscriminately, there will naturally be a party in the plains, but I will only die, and this kind of thing will not be done", for which Shi Bi was fined a year's salary, but the scholars in the area have been saved.
There is a person named Yang Qiao in the party, recommended by Dou Wu, who entered the court as a Lang official, this person is both talented and beautiful, and is deeply loved by Emperor Liu Zhi of Han Huan, and wants to marry the princess to him, but Yang Qiao swore to refuse and died of hunger strike for seven days.
In August 167 A.D., Wei County played "Jiahesheng, Manna Falls" and Ba County played "Huanglongjian", but at the same time as the "auspicious celestial phenomenon" appeared, disasters occurred: the flood in Liuzhou and the tsunami in Bohai. Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: give those over 7 years old who drowned 2,000 per person; If the whole family is drowned, the local state and county are responsible for the burial; and if there is no food due to the flood, each person shall be given 3 hu.
In October, the Xianlingqiang tribe invaded Sanfu, and Zhang Huan sent Yin Duan and Dong Zhuo to repel it, behead its leader, behead and capture more than 10,000 people, and the Sanfu area was stabilized. Zhang Huan wrote to ask for a reward, but was unanimously obstructed by the eunuchs, and finally decided: only give 200,000 yuan and seal the Zhang family as a Lang official, but Zhang Huan did not accept it, and only made a request: I know that the Han Dynasty has a system: the border guards will not be allowed to move inward, but I hope that my family can be moved to Hongnong County, and the imperial court will be granted because of Zhang Huan's great merit.
And another meritorious Dong Zhuo was named Langzhong, at this time, no one expected that just twenty years later, many years later, this "rough and scheming, making Qiang Hu fearful" General Dong would become the gravedigger of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
On December 23 of this year, Liu Zhi finished the last thing in his life, which was to re-seal Liu Kui, who was demoted to King of Gall Tao more than two years ago, as King Bohai.
Well, the story of Emperor Huan is about to end, the country under his rule is actually crumbling, and the fires of the common people who are the bottom of the dung bucket have risen one after another, although they have been suppressed, there is no sign of being completely extinguished, at least the flames are extinguished, but the smoke is still rising.
On December 28, 167 AD, the 36-year-old Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty died in the front hall of Deyang.
Emperor Huan died, his life, I don't know what kind of words to use but describe it more appropriately, from the time he came to marry a daughter-in-law but coincidentally ascended to the emperor's throne, from Liang Ji was respected by him to the fall of the Liang family, from the eunuch group to the eunuch group and the literati doctor, Emperor Huan is neither a mediator in the middle, nor does he completely listen to the words of the eunuch to say that intellectuals are excluded, saying that he is lustful and confused, I think lust is certain, his harem has too many beauties, breaking the record of the Han Dynasty at that time, but confused, From his point of view, I don't think he is confused, at least he knows about pro-government, knows that the court can't all be eunuchs, and knows that the ministers will be threatened if they form a gang and faction.
He left a mess, first of all, the emperor's heir is a problem, then the eunuch group is too big to lose, and finally the most critical problem is that the government and the court situation are chaotic, the literati and doctors are basically excluded, the situation of the relatives is still unclear, and the eunuchs are at the forefront.
Emperor Huan has ascended to heaven, and the rivers and mountains in the dung bucket will continue, at least for now, there is no intention of falling, although it is crumbling, it can still hold on, since it can be persistent, where will it go? The sky-high fire of the common people we talked about earlier finally did not break out in Emperor Huan's life, but one day, the bottom of the barrel can no longer bear the corrosion, and the rivers and mountains in the barrel will eventually fall.
