In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and although Yuan Yu's death caused a wave in Luoyang, with a burst of discussion between high-ranking officials and powerful people and ordinary people before and after tea, the influence of self-hanging gradually disappeared into invisibility, and Liu Hong began to vigorously support the new eunuch to take the throne. After all, with Yuan Yu dead, the old eunuchs left behind during the period of Emperor Huan are basically either dead or retired, if Liu Hong doesn't want the eunuch group to lose power, he can only use unscrupulous means to let the new eunuchs take the position.

In the middle of August, this day is a day of rest, the morning is sunny, the wheels are spinning, and after a bumpy road, the carriage stops in front of the "Baiweifang" wine shop.

Fu Quan jumped out of the carriage and stretched his body, he couldn't lift his spirits at this time, his face was listless, and his tired look was very obvious. On the one hand, Guy in this era of the carriage lacks shock absorption effect, sitting in the car is really not related to enjoyment, on the other hand, last night in Liu Jian's room, the two were crazy until midnight, Fu Quan only fled back to the house under the tigress's reluctance, but later was asked by the child, at this moment the body has been hollowed out, how can there be too much strength to lift the spirit?

Zang Hong's father Zang Min's term of office has arrived, and his political achievements have been remarkable, and he has been transferred back to Beijing by the imperial court, just waiting for the will to be reappointed, and Zang Min's original position as a Xiongnu Zhonglang has been replaced by Zhang Xiu. Today, Zang Min is here to feast all his friends, but it is also to celebrate with others, but Zang Hong informed Fuquan early in the morning.

As soon as I entered the gate of "Baiweifang", Fuquan saw dozens of people gathered together, talking loudly, laughing and laughing, and it was extremely lively. Looking at the lobby of the wine shop, it was surprisingly not full of guests as usual, and it was obvious that "Baiwei Fang" had been celebrated by Zang Min today.

Seeing Fuquan enter the house, Zang Hong, who was chatting with several people, immediately stepped forward happily and greeted: "Liuchuan hurry inside, my father has been talking about Liuchuan breaking Xianbei for the past two days, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see Liuchuan, and he must not miss it today." ”

"I was on official business, and it was rude to not be able to visit Shibo when he returned to Beijing." Fu Quan hurriedly replied.

Zang Hong didn't care at all, and said loudly: "Liuchuan is in an important position, guarding the palace, protecting His Majesty thoroughly, and he can't leave easily, how can Jia Yan blame?" "Jiayan is the honorific title of the ancients to their fathers and brothers in front of outsiders, and Zang Hong's words refer to his father Zang Min.

Fu Quan said with a smile: "Shibo should blame, and it is the fault of the rest. ”

"It's been circulated, why don't you see Fu Shibo?" Zang Hong obviously didn't want to entangle these red tapes with Fu Quan, and when he saw Fu Quan coming alone, he was puzzled, so he changed the topic.

"The family has been tired recently, busy with official business, unwell, unable to attend the appointment, and asked Yu to come to apologize to Zang Shibo, saying that he would come to the door another day to apologize."

"There is a lot of trouble in the Shizhong Temple, and the Fu Si is responsible for impartially enforcing the law, and there is no opportunity for the eunuch temple to be implicated, otherwise it will be another Suzaku disaster." After hearing this, Zang Hong suddenly nodded, nodded and sighed, and when he mentioned the eunuch in his tone, there was a faint hatred, which was terrifying.

Fu Quan nodded and laughed, and said with awe-inspiring justice: "This trivial matter, the captain of the school, the male position of the country, the strict family is in an important position, and he should act according to the law, and no small people can take advantage of it." He said that, but in fact, this is not the case at all, the internal reason is just that the Song and Fu families are collecting assistance from some neutral forces in the foreign courts, otherwise if these people collectively pour into He Jin's side because of the show, wouldn't they let He Butcher benefit in vain?

In April, the hen of Shizhong Temple turned into a male, and this matter was maliciously spread by people in Luoyang City, accusing the emperor of favoring the eunuchs too much, making the eunuchs autocratic, the court mediocre, and politically dark.

At that time, the most serious rumor was the phrase "the hen sings the world white", which can be described as maliciously slandering the emperor and eunuchs to the extreme. After all, it was originally "a rooster singing the world white", but now it has been changed to a hen, the meaning is obvious, the man is a eunuch after purification, and the "female" is a metaphor for the eunuch. "Female chickens turn males" means that the emperor trusts the eunuchs, so that the people of the temple interfere in politics, and the eunuchs of the court are in charge, covering the sky with one hand.

Of course, others don't know, how can Fuquan come from later generations and not know the principle of this phenomenon. For example, a large group of hens have been together for a long time, and there is no rooster around to fertilize them, one or two of them will be affected by hormones and change and degenerate, and vice versa, which is the mechanism of natural organisms to ensure the reproduction of the next generation, but it is not a harbinger of disaster for the country and the people.

However, this group of rumor-mongers took advantage of the superstitions of the ancients and brainwashed them by public opinion, which soon spread the rumors of the so-called emperor without a way and eunuchs harming the country in Luoyang City, how could this make the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty feel at ease?

Liu Hong was furious when he heard the news in the West Mansion at that time, and under the bewitchment of Zhang Rang and others, he immediately issued an edict, ordering the captain of Sili to investigate the matter strictly, arrest all the people who spread the rumors, and go to prison to examine what their intentions were. Seeing that after the death of Empress Dowager Dou six years ago, the Taixue of Suzaku Que was in a tragic disaster, and a large number of scholars were persecuted. But fortunately, at this time, the captain of Si Li had already changed from Duan Cheng to Fu Wan.

Although Fu Wan said that he didn't like scholars, he wouldn't really ignore it, listen to the eunuchs and the emperor, and arrest people wantonly, after all, he is different from Duan Cheng, Duan Cheng needs to rely on the eunuch and get his help to be promoted, and Fu Wan, as a relative, needs to fight between the foreign court scholars and the Chinese eunuchs, and the longer the fight, the better, so that after the two parties fight to the death, it is most beneficial for him. At this time, how could the eunuchs open the party for no reason?

Therefore, after Fu Wan only caught a few of the primary rumor-mongers, the others did not pursue it, but only warned everyone, which made those scholars and students die down, and the rumors also ended hastily, otherwise it would be impossible to say that Fu Wan had something to do with them.

Of course, the eunuchs in the palace are also trying to use the end of the ambush to complete the will of His Majesty, to frame the ambush, but after all, the ambush has arrested people, and let the rumors spread outside the palace, and the end of the palace was in the palace, loud and straightforward, with a sentence "The former Taizu Emperor Gao entered the customs and the three chapters of the civil covenant law, and the later Emperor Taizong Xiaowen issued an edict to change the law, all of which have the crime of slander and gossip. ”

At that time, Liu Hong was shocked when he heard this, and then sighed: "Junguo has the benevolent legacy of the ancestors. "When Liu Hong's fifteenth ancestor Liu Bang rebelled for the world, he entered the customs and the three chapters of the civil covenant law, abolished the tyrannical Qin cool law, which included the crime of slander and gossip, and later Liu Hong's fourteenth ancestor Liu Heng ascended the throne according to the changes in the society of the early Han Dynasty, boldly implemented the "change of law" in some laws and regulations, and then issued an edict to abolish the crime of slander and gossip, in order to know the people's feelings, Liu Hong was blocked half to death after ambushing these words, after all, it is his ancestor's words, can Liu Hong refute it?

Then it was revealed, and the matter was closed, and Liu Hong no longer asked. It is said that Zhang Rang and others continued to persuade Liu Hong to arrest him, but he refused, and even later ordered the rumor spreaders who were caught to be released.

When Fu Quan heard it later, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, this emperor is smart and smart, but he has really not been taught since he was a child, so that he has governed the country all his life, and the country has changed from good to bad. Later, he did some ridiculous things, and he did not repent until a few years before his death, but it was too late after all, and at that time, the party members who had enough of the torture and suffered had long lost patience with the big man.
