These three people came, naturally, to be introduced into the house.

In the hall, Liu Fan sat in the first seat, Zhou Zhong, Chen Tan, and Liu Tao sat below in turn.

"Guangluxun Liu Kuanben was also going to visit Liu Hussar, but he couldn't come because he was unwell, so he only asked me to bring greetings." Situ Chen said to Liu Fan with a smile.

"Guangluxun is a knowledgeable Confucian scholar, although he is old, he is very worried about the country, and I will visit him in person another day."

Liu Fan has seen Liu Kuan, who is full of white hair, is already in his old age, and is a kind elder. He took over as lieutenant twice, both of which were deposed because of a solar eclipse.

Liu Kuan is also a descendant of the clan, in addition to his liking to drink, his character is really impeccable.

"Today's court meeting, it is very strange, the ministers do not admonish, Your Majesty does not ask, Liu Huqi is silent, we get up early to enter the court, so anticlimactic, hastily done. Why did Liu Huqi ride? Chen Tan asked Liu Fan the reason.

"I first entered the court, and I don't know the rules! Three adults, please break it down. Liu Fan asked with a smile.

"The new chief of the hundred officials, all-encompassing, and the first day of the court, the public does not speak, who dares to speak? The public should speak on state affairs and cure the root cause. Liu Tao arched his hand to Liu Fan and said.

Liu Tao is a native of Yingyin, Yingchuan, after Liu Bo, the king of Jibei in the Western Han Dynasty, about sixty years old, he Shen Yong has great plans and is informal.

Liu Tao was promoted as filial piety at the beginning of Emperor Huan, tired of serving the imperial history, and was sealed in the mausoleum. Three moves to the Shangshu order, worship in the service.

Because of repeated direct advice, he was deeply feared by powerful ministers and eunuchs.

When Liu Tao was relocated to Jingzhaoyin, he needed to pay tens of millions of dollars to buy official money, and Liu Tao did not go to Xiyuan to deliver it, which was a shame and said that he would not listen to the government. Liu Hong took a fancy to his talent, absolved him of his crimes, and worshiped him as a counselor.

"The ministers can't even do what they do, so how can they be qualified to go to the court to listen to the government. If the rice thieves in Hanzhong rebelled, didn't anyone pay attention to it? Liu Fan asked.

"The scale of Zhang Xiu's uprising is small, Your Majesty is quasi-Hanzhong Taishou Su Gu to recruit troops to quell the thieves, Su Gu is a famous man in Yongliang, quite talented, I believe it will not take long to pacify Hanzhong." Zhou Zhong replied to Liu Fan.

Su Gu, Liu Fan has an impression, but he doesn't know much about it, he only knows that he died at the hands of Liu Yan.

If it is really as Zhou Zhong said, Liu Fan inferred from history that Su Gu should have defeated Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu, and the two took refuge in Liu Yan, and Liu Yan sent Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu to kill Su Gu and capture Hanzhong in order to control Yizhou.

It's just that at this time, I don't want to intervene. There is also this Zhou Zhong, his elder brother is the current Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi is Zhou Yu's father, and Zhou Yu is Zhou Zhong's son.

Zhou is a famous family in Lujiang, Zhou Zhong's father Zhou Jingguan to Taiwei, his grandfather Zhou Xing is Shang Shulang, great-grandfather Zhou Rong, once served as Shanyang Taishou.

Zhou Yu was the peerless commander of this era second only to Cao Cao.

For Liu Fan, Zhou Yu is more difficult to deal with than Cao Cao, because Liu Fan knows Cao Cao well, and Cao Cao has too many flaws.

For Zhou Yu, Jiangdong's beautiful husband, Liu Fan is very yearning, and he must find an opportunity to recruit him.

"I hope so." After thinking about it, Liu Fan decided to ignore the affairs of Hanzhong for now, and deal with the affairs in front of him first.

"Thieves from all over the world have risen together, invading states and counties, and the disasters are all caused by the ten permanent servants selling officials and harming the people, bullying the monarch, and everyone in the court is gone, and the disaster is at present!" At this time, Liu Tao said with tears in his eyes. It was just a greeting before, but at this time, Liu Tao explained the real purpose of their coming to Liu Fan.

"We all think that Your Majesty is a very smart person, but he has been deceived by the eunuchs who favor him left and right, if we work together to eliminate these traitors, and then promote honest and capable people, the Han family can prosper." Chen Tan also took the opportunity to express to Liu Fan.

"All the people in the world want to eat the meat of the ten permanent servants, and the middle permanent servants colluded with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how could Your Majesty not know? His Majesty knows that he has committed many crimes, so can you know why His Majesty didn't kill the Ten Permanent Servants? Liu Fan asked Liu Tao and Chen Tan.

Liu Tao and Chen Tan are both strong donkeys, and one of them failed to give direct advice, and Shi Zhong died of hunger strike. A head hit a wooden pillar, wanting to wake up Liu Hong with loyalty.

Liu Fan knew that if he didn't explain it to them, they would definitely admonish Liu Hong as they did in history, and then be framed and killed by the Ten Standing Servants.

"It's nothing more than the ten permanent servants and other eunuchs who make good use of fallacies to deceive the saints." Liu Tao snorted coldly and said.

"Definitely." Liu Fan shook his head in denial, and then said: "Your Majesty inherited the throne at the age of twelve, at that time, the ministers were in charge, Your Majesty was helpless, it was the eunuchs Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Zhang Rang and others who were close to Your Majesty, and cleared the ministers for Your Majesty, and re-took charge of the government.

"What Liu Hussar said is reasonable and well-founded, and it is true, but now the world is in danger, if you don't get rid of the ten permanent servants, the world will immediately collapse." Chen Tan howled and cried.

Not long after Zhang Jungang impeached the Ten Standing Servants, it was not a pity that his crime would be dead, but Liu Hong was still indulgent.

"I have the thoughts of the Qing monarch, but with His Majesty's protection, not to mention that the army can't enter the city, I am even more afraid of offending Your Majesty and sweeping Your Majesty's majesty." Liu Fan said with a look of embarrassment.

"Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the hussar general was benevolent to the world, and when he quelled the chaos, he was merciful and loved by the people. We would like to hear what the hussar general thinks. Zhou Zhong asked Liu Fan for advice.

"Your Majesty ordered to prohibit the sale of official beards, and allowed me the right to cut first and then play, and I designed this to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, so that the ten permanent servants did not dare to move. Then slowly cut off the wings of the ten permanent attendants, so that the ten permanent attendants have no rights. Liu Fan said to everyone.

"Everything in the world is in the general. We liaise with the loyal ministers and righteous men of the government and the opposition, assist the generals, and make the Han Dynasty prosperous. Liu Tao, Chen Tan, and Zhou Zhong bowed to Liu Fan.

At this moment, a party of hussar generals headed by Liu Fan was formed.

If there is no strong group support behind him, it will be difficult to move an inch. Forming cliques is inevitable.

Different from He Jin's relatives and eunuchs, this party is a party dominated by loyal ministers and righteous people.

Even there is a difference between the nobles and the nobles.

Some of the scholars are rich, and some of the scholars are poor. The quality of both sides can be seen in it.

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is not an incorruptible person like his adoptive father Cao Teng. Cao Song has been an official for many years, and because of his power and profit, the Cao family can be described as a rich party.

Cao Song was not satisfied with his position as a great lieutenant, and when the position of Tai Lieutenant was vacant, he spent 10,000 yuan to donate a Tai Lieutenant to himself, so that his political career reached its peak.

On the contrary, as the sheep continued.

The reputation of the Taishan Goat clan is far inferior to that of the Cao family, and as the head of the family, Yang Xu could not even support his wife and son during his reign.

Yang Xu was alone as an official in the city, and his family had been living in the countryside and living a frugal life. In order to do things well, Yang Xu's clansmen spontaneously got together and asked Yang Xu's wife and children to go to Nanyang to find Yang Xu. When they arrived at the county office, after the doorman reported it, Yang Xu refused to see it, did not let the doorman open the door, and ordered them to go home quickly, not to think about entering the city to enjoy the glory and wealth. Receiving this treatment, Yang Xu's wife and children were very angry, regardless of the errand obstruction, they broke in, Yang Xu saw his wife and children with yellow and thin faces, his heart was very sour, and he led his wife and children to his residence without saying a word. The house was small and dilapidated, with steep walls, and all that was all that was a worn-out cloth bedding, a set of shabby short cloth clothes, a few buckets of wheat, and a little salt. Yang Xu calmly said to his wife and children: "You have seen it, my property is all this, and it is difficult for me to support myself, how can you let me keep you?" ”

Seeing this situation, Yang Xu's wife silently left with her youngest son, because farming at home was better than her husband's.

Therefore, not all the famous scholars live a life of fine clothes and fine food.
