Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao's words made Fu Quan feel quite unexpected, after all, even if they didn't want to continue their studies, with their family background, it was okay to return to their hometowns to be filial piety and honesty among the states and counties, and Maocai would be an official, but now they are living in seclusion, this is how much hatred they have for the imperial court, and the two of them are not people who don't love their careers, otherwise they would not have the name of "Jiangdong Erzhang" later.

Go back to your hometown and live in seclusion!

In addition to those who have no intention of pursuing a career with officials, only scholars who are disappointed in the politics of the imperial court will make this choice if they feel hopeless in the future, and there are only two reasons for this.

The imperial court suppressed the scholars too much, and the atmosphere of Taixue has changed, so what's the use of staying in Luoyang?

Liu Hong continued to suppress the scholars, and Taixue was repeatedly attacked by eunuchs, and the style of learning was declining, and there was no shortage of enthusiastic people before.

Just like the court at this time, everyone criticized the eunuchs, but there was no substantive action, and only Yang Ci, Cai Yong and others gave direct advice before, but this is not to say that there are no more loyal and upright people in the court. Most of them just chose to be silent, and the same is true of Taixue now, what about direct advice, it shows that the emperor can't wait to suppress them, perhaps, this is the so-called mourning is greater than heart death.

Of course, the rest of them began to plot to completely crush the emperor's policy from this moment, and did not hesitate to protect their own interests, and the life and death of the country were no longer important before the interests of the individual family. As for success or failure, the last history books will put all the blame on the emperor, after all, this year, what he did was too dim, enough to touch the dark.

Emperor Liu Hong built a Hongdu Gate and opened the West Mansion to sell officials, which was disappointed by the world!

It is precisely because of this that many things that happened in the first year of Guanghe have become the dirty water that the historian maliciously touched in the history books in the future.

This year, in February, there was a solar eclipse.

Soon after, an earthquake struck.

In April, another earthquake struck.

After that, the hen of Shichuji Temple turned into a male.

In June, there was a black gas falling from the sky and falling into the courtyard on the east side of the Wende Palace, which was more than ten zhang long, like a black dragon.

In July, a cyan rainbow was found in the courtyard of the apse of Nangong Yutang.

In August, there are stars in the heavenly market.

In the era of feudal superstition, the so-called vision of the death of the country continued to emerge, pointing directly to the emperor, and according to the proverb, the period of the Han Dynasty's 400-year national glory was not far away, and the people were panicked, and the ministers spoke one after another......

Fuquan came from the later generations, and they would not believe in these ethereal things, but the ancients were convinced that this was a sign of the death of the country. Watching the ancients constantly speculate and laugh secretly because of superstition, sometimes he always thinks in his heart, if he is a doctor of physical chemistry or something, he can't perform a few physical chemistry experiments and use some natural phenomena, so let the ancients call him a "fairy", right?

Leaving the seat, Fu Quan greeted everyone and went to toast with other acquaintances, this place is not suitable for a long stay, after all, he is an official who has entered the court, and in front of the two hermits who have no intention of pursuing a career in Jiangdong, can he get up at ease?

walked to the top of the seat, where Zang Min was drinking with Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi was drinking with Cai Yong at this time. He is resolute and has a big festival, often cherishes the ambition of the world, is not good at resignation, can drink a stone, and Cai Yong is also a good drinker, otherwise he would not have the name of "Drunken Dragon", and he also has a stone for drinking on weekdays. I saw that Zang Min and Ma Riyan beside the two of them were already a little sluggish, and after looking at the empty wine around the two, Fu Quan secretly said that these two were really together.

Cai Yong drank another ear of wine, his face was ruddy, his face was soaked with sweat, he was a free and easy person, he didn't care about the public place here, opened his clothes, and shouted: "Have fun!" Enjoy! ”

The eyes of the people around him were strange, but they knew Cai Yong's nature, so they just smiled, and Cai Yong naturally knew what everyone thought, but he didn't care at all about the strange eyes of the people around him, and still drank heartily.

Lu Zhi has a resolute personality and is constrained in etiquette, but he is not as free and easy as Cai Yong, although he sweats on his forehead and looks unusually hot, he still drinks calmly and is unmoved. This kind of bearing can't help but be amazing, Fu Quan also nodded secretly, and said in his heart that he could study under Ma Rong's tent, but he was not moved by the singers performing at Ma Rong's house, and he never glanced at it, and there was a reason.

There was a sudden commotion outside the small building, and then I heard the sound of foul language, as if I was here to arrest someone, and it seemed to be coming to make trouble, Fu Quan frowned slightly, who came to make trouble so long?

After all, Zang Min is a Hun Zhonglang general with a rank of 2,000 stones whose term has expired, this is not a miscellaneous Zhonglang general like Sun Jian or Wang Yue, but a serious and often set position, and now when he returns to Beijing, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor is going to be of great use to him, but someone actually came to his banquet to make trouble, isn't this a naked slap in the face?

Before long, there was a shout at the door of the small building, "No one cares about your family?" If you make trouble again, it will make you look good. ”

The voice was like a Hong Zhong, and the drunken people who were shocked were as sober as Daigo empowerment, and Fuquan was also shocked by this, and most of the wine woke up, and then shook his head self-deprecatingly, because this voice was too familiar to him, who else could it be if it wasn't Zang Hong's voice?

However, the quarrel outside the small building did not stop there, but lasted for a long time, causing everyone to talk about the banquet, and everyone had ideas in their hearts at this moment, after all, the people who came were so persistent and didn't care about the threat of the Zang family at all, it can only show that they have something to rely on.

Sure enough, as Zang Hong's face turned pale and he came with a few people, the faces of the people who saw those people dressed here changed indifferently. They are not ordinary officers, but the leader is the Huangmen squire, followed by the palace soldiers, looking at the edict in their hands, could it be that someone impeached? Who is impeached?

In an instant, the head of the Yellow Gate walked to the top and shouted: "Your Majesty has an edict, and everyone accepts the order." ”

"Your Ministers Listen to the Divine Will."

"The little people take the order."

In a moment, all the people present, whether they were officials, civilians or scholars, came out of their seats and bowed to receive the order.

Subsequently, the messenger of the Yellow Gate opened the edict and said loudly: "The edict said: Yi Lang Yong and the uncle are hostage, and the Situ ...... is conspired."

Cai Yong?

He was falsely accused?

After reading the edict, everyone was shocked, looking at each other, all of them were incredible, Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, free and easy by nature, and does not do lowly things, how could he murder Situ Liu He with a grudge for no reason?

In the small building, Cai Yong, who listened to the edict, had a shocked face, his breath was messy, and he no longer had the freedom to drink when he was suitable.

Honest traitors, should be punished for a long time. The ministers are weak and inferior, and they don't know what the holy will is. Excerpt from "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of the Eunuch, Shan Chao", at this time there was already the word holy will
