"How can a kingdom stand?" Emperor Han Ling paused, stopped, looked at the reflection in the water, and said casually.

Huangfu Changming hugged his fists and said: "Gu Guan! ”

"Oh? What is Gu Guan..."Emperor Han Ling's face was full of curiosity, he turned his head to look at Huangfu Changming, and asked again.

Huangfu Changming looked at the reflection in the water and said: "Use corrupt officials, anti-corrupt officials!" ”

Emperor Han Ling's expression moved, and he also looked at the reflection in the water and said, "If you are a corrupt official, how can you use it?" ”

Huangfu Changming retreated, clenched his fists deeply and bowed his head: "The Holy Lord knows this reason, so why bother to embarrass Wei Chen!" ”

Emperor Han Ling laughed, approached Huangfu Changming, patted him on the shoulder with appreciation, and said, "Is the Huangfu family rising?" It's up to you! ”

Huangfu Changming bowed deeply, shook his head and said: "The rise of the Huangfu family lies in my father, not me!" ”

"Hahaha, the widow just wants to listen to your answer, if the answer is good, the widow can promise you one thing, no matter what, as long as it is reasonable, the widow will never refuse!" Emperor Han Ling looked at Huangfu Changming with great meaning.

Huangfu Changming nodded, showing joy and said: "Shengyinuo, ten thousand taels of gold are rare, and then Weichen will be ugly..."

"If you are a corrupt official, how can you use it?" Emperor Han Ling laughed and nodded, and continued to ask again.

"Are eunuchs greedy?" Huangfu Changming poked at the key point, and said very directly, Emperor Han Ling looked at the reflection in the water and said: "Greed, huge greed, buying and selling officials is the plan they came up with to collect money." ”

"Then why does the Holy One keep using it?" Huangfu Changming raised his eyes to look directly at Emperor Han Ling, but Emperor Han Ling did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then why didn't the widows kill them all the time?" ”

Huangfu Changming lowered his head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then continued to speak: "In the first month of the first year of Jianning, the first emperor died, and the queen Dou Miao wanted to control the government and premeditate the murder of the widow. ”

"In September, the Xinhai coup, the eunuchs made a bloody alliance and fought to the death to resist Dou Wu and others to launch a coup, and it was Zhang Rang who persuaded the eunuchs to fight against Dou Wu and others together, leading to the stability of the regime and the destruction of the Dou family!"

"In the second year of Jianning, the Qiang people rebelled, the government and the opposition were shocked, the eunuch recommended Duan Xi as a general, Duan Cheng broke the first zero Qiang in the outer valley of the Tiger Sai, and all the Eastern Qiang were pacified."

"In the first year of Xiping..."

"Six years of Xiping..."

Emperor Han Ling listened to Huangfu Changming learn what he had just said, and said with a hint of amusement on his face: "Yes, eunuchs have always been very useful, without them, there would be no stable regime now!" ”

Huangfu Changming hugged his fists and said: "The reason why eunuchs are easy to use, and why the saints have never killed them, is because they are loyal, they are ministers, and loyalty is great!" Loyalty is peace. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Emperor Han Ling frowned, Huangfu Changming continued to clench his fists and said: "Eunuchs are greedy for money, and their rights are granted by the saints, only with rights can they have the ability to be greedy for money, and there are interests to attract eunuchs, they must be very happy, so they must be loyal, if the eunuchs are loyal, the Han Dynasty will be stable." ”

"Then why do the widows use eunuchs and kill eunuchs?" Emperor Han Ling still looked at the reflection in the water, and said very seriously.

Huangfu Changming revealed an unfathomable meaning, and replied: "The eunuch must use it, and he will abandon it, this is the mystery of the holy power!" ”

"Oh?" Emperor Han Ling raised his eyebrows, looked at the rockery in the distance, and said with interest: "You can tell me about it!" ”

Huangfu Changming smiled slightly and continued: "There is no official in the world who is not greedy, and the eunuch is greedy, since he is greedy for money, then he will be afraid, because they understand that they are greedy for money, and the saint must know, so the more they are afraid, the more loyal they are, so the more at ease the saint; But some corrupt officials have no fear, the more ruthless they are, the greater their ambitions, and the more they plot, and this kind of corrupt official is a dissident, once discovered, they should be immediately beheaded, such as Feng Zhen, Xu Feng's generation! ”

Emperor Ling of Han did not agree with or deny Huangfu Changming's conjecture, but asked: "If the Han Dynasty has no corrupt officials, and all of them are incorruptible, what will happen?" ”

Huangfu Changming's face became solemn and said: "If this is the case, the people will be happy, and the saint will be in danger!" ”

"Why is that?" Emperor Han Ling got up and left, frowned and asked again, Emperor Fu Changming followed the departing Emperor Han Ling, and hurriedly explained: "If the Qing official offends the saint with his outspokenness and incorruptible quality, and commits disloyalty, what kind of crime will the saint be punished?" If it is directly punished, the people may not agree, and they have resentment, and if this goes on for a long time, the country will be in danger, so the Qing officials can't use it! ”

Emperor Han Ling seemed to have found a confidant, and looked at Huangfu Changming with great joy, but Huangfu Changming said sharply: "Is there anything else to ask about the saint?" ”

Emperor Han Ling was stunned, and he didn't know what to ask at this moment, but Huangfu Changming immediately knelt down, and said with a panicked expression: "Holy Lord... If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are corrupt officials, then the people are miserable and complaining, how should they deal with it? ”

Emperor Han Ling suddenly remembered something, such as today's uprising, this seems to be the end of the use of corrupt officials, Emperor Han Ling immediately helped Huangfu Changming up, took his hand and sat in a pavilion, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his face and said: "Then how to deal with it?" ”

The sharp color on Huangfu Changming's face dissipated, and he smiled and said: "The Holy Decree can be condemned, and severely punished, again and again, reprimanded for greed, hated for insatiable, so that the government and the opposition know about this matter, so that the people of the world can understand the wisdom of the saint, in this way, it is the corrupt officials who destroy the law, and the instability of the country is also the responsibility of the corrupt officials, so that the resentment of the people can be reduced." ”

Emperor Ling of Han showed a look of sudden realization and said: "Then if there is a big corrupt official, the people have a deep resentment against him, whether the widow will immediately kill him, steal his property, confiscate their property, and eliminate the anger of the people." ”

Huangfu Changming got up and bowed deeply to Emperor Han Ling: "Therefore, use corrupt officials to tie up their loyalty, remove corrupt officials, exclude dissidents, kill big greed, anger with the common people, confiscate their wealth, and confiscate them, this is the art of emperors through the ages." ”

Emperor Han Ling got up and said with a laugh: "Okay, good, this plan is very good, the widow will order to reorganize the government and create a new Han Dynasty." ”

Huangfu Changming exhaled deeply, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes showed a trace of helplessness, and he thought to himself: "Today's Han world... There is still time to save hope..."

In the same year, the political changes of the dynasty, the military generals led by He Jin were promoted one after another, and the eunuch Zhang Rang and others actively contributed money to fill the army, especially Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, who were arrested and imprisoned as anti-thieves.

So outside Luoyang City, there were rumors that the eunuchs were in trouble with the government, and the ten major crimes of the eunuchs were counted, so that the people's anger was completely transferred to the eunuchs, and some people trumpeted the merits of the Ling Emperor.
