In May, Ding Mao, after the flood, Liu Hong once again granted amnesty to the world. It's just that the heavens don't seem to care, the natural disaster continues, and the only good thing is that because of the appearance of Fuquan, the prevention measures have been continuously improved, and there has been no major epidemic again.

In June, Hongnong and Sanfu borer.

In "Historical Records: The Biography of Turtle Celie", it is said that "borers are born every year, and grains are not grown." "The plague is born, and the people of Hongnong and Sanfu are going to suffer again.

The news came to Luoyang, fortunately, the scope of the impact was not large, and after the flood of the Seven Kingdoms, the temperature of the whole Han country was generally low, and the unnatural mortality rate of borers was extremely high.

Natural disasters continued, and the people were in distress, Liu Hong issued an edict ordering those affected by the disaster in the county to exempt half of the land rent; Those who suffer more than four-tenths of the damage shall be exempted from all land rent.

The natural disasters of the Han Dynasty have never been interrupted in recent years, knocking on the lives of the people like the end of the world, even in the modern era, a major earthquake in the land of Sichuan and Shu can make the country restless, the nation is sad and angry, and the disaster relief will take several years to recover as before, you can think about what the scene of the Eastern Han Dynasty was thousands of years ago.

However, the disaster relief capacity of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a must, even if the central court is empty, sometimes unable to provide disaster relief, only let the local government save itself, and there has never been a situation where people starve to death.

It is not just like the historians of later generations who created the so-called turbulent times of "the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the court was mediocre and weak, the people were poor, they were hungry, they were not clothed, they were cannibalistic, and the human tragedy was tragedies", at least until the famous cult leader rebelled for his own desires, thus forming a scene.

At least, no matter how messy the Eastern Han court was, the emperor issued an order to dismiss officials from disasters, send money and food, seek medical treatment and medicine, reduce or reduce taxes, offer blessings and rain, build water conservancy, and so on...... These are all ironclad evidence, no matter how many historians who sympathize with scholars in later generations use the Spring and Autumn Period brushwork to cover up, these are all indelible!

Just when Fu Quan's attention was still on the natural disaster, a news from Queen Song in the palace made him vigilant that He was pregnant. What she has in her stomach should be the young emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Wei who was deposed by Dong Zhuo after only a few months on the throne in history, but can he still be allowed to ascend the throne when he comes to this life?

In any case, Empress Song's life was not easy. Too many examples have made it very clear what kind of fate the queen without heirs will have in the struggle for power in the harem.

Still thinking about this, the Cheqi General's Mansion came to pass the word, Song Yu asked him to come over the palace to talk about it, it seems that the relative general also felt that the situation in the palace had changed.

When I arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion, the door was outside the house of my relatives in the past, but now it is a city, and the large and small carriages are parked outside the house in turn waiting to be received.

The cangtou of the Song Mansion naturally knew Fuquan, respectfully led the horse for him, and welcomed him into the house, everyone outside the door was curious, who was this young man, and he could get such courtesy. After knowing that it is the "Plague Lang", they are all praised, and it is indeed a great Confucian family, with the style of a gentleman, Fu Quan has long been exposed to this words, and his face has not changed, and in a few years, he has long been accustomed to the strange eyes and words of others.

Just before entering the hall, I heard a dispute inside, but when I got closer, it was an old acquaintance Cai Yong talking to Song Yu.

Cai Yong's words were fierce and said: "The law of the 'three mutuals' is a bad government, which makes it difficult for the imperial court to select cadres, and the officials of the two states of Youyou and Hebei have not been filled for a long time, and the monarch and marquis are the important ministers of the country. ”

But Song Yu didn't pay attention to it, and said lightly: "Uncle said this, how can I not know, but this matter is not something I don't want to do, but I can't do it." "Say it, not a word.

"Hey......" Cai Yong let out a long sigh, touched his short beard and bowed his head to leave, bumped into Fuquan on the way, and said with a smirk: "Liuchuan also came to the prince's mansion today?" ”

Fu Quan hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen Yilang, and I was greeted by my eldest father today, so I rushed here." ”

"That being the case, the servant will retire first." Cai Yong was in a bad mood, said hello and left.

Fuquan was dumbfounded, couldn't Cai Yong see why Liu Hong did this?

Knowing that because of the implementation of the three-mutual law, it is gradually difficult for the imperial court to select talents, is he really so stupid to watch the long-term shortage of officials in Youzhou and Jizhou and not act?

The answer is obvious, the emperor is very smart, and the reason why this is so is because of one point, the power of foreign dynasties is too great, and the ruler needs some political measures to suppress it, and the "three mutual laws" are a sharp weapon.

As early as the time of Emperor Huan, the Three Mutual Law was introduced, and when it came to Liu Hong, it was implemented more thoroughly, for what?

To put it simply, it is to increase the number of official posts so that intellectuals have more official positions, and at the same time to prevent scholars from forming cliques for personal gain.

Think about it, in just one Taixue, there are more than 30,000 people as reserve officials, and this number is only increasing, not decreasing, not counting the famous and filial piety people in various places, they are all going to be officials, ordinary swords and pen officials They disdain, but there are so many positions as county magistrates in the Han Dynasty, where is it enough?

When there are many people who want to be officials in a country, but they can't be officials, the national strength will naturally fall into internal strife and decay, and only by killing political enemies can they have officials to do it. And where are the political enemies of these scholars?

Obviously, of course, it was the eunuchs and their relatives, after all, they occupied many official positions.

Therefore, after Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty came into power, in order to reverse the declining national situation in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he arranged "benevolence" and "righteousness", and no longer valued the descendants of the founding fathers such as Guo, Ma, Yuan, and Yang and the wealthy members of Shiqing Shilu, but focused on promoting new talents from the people, which is also the reason for the rapid decline of many wealthy families.

In the military field, Emperor Huan "promoted meritocracy", employed people on the basis of merit rather than cronyism, abandoned the members of the generals such as Deng, Ma, Geng, and Dou, who had long monopolized the military power in the northwest, and instead promoted lower-level officers, the most famous of which was the famous "Liangzhou Sanming".

In the past 100 years, the Eastern Han army won less and lost more in foreign wars, especially the Qiang people swept Liangzhou many times, extended to Bingzhou and Yizhou, causing great damage, in Liangzhou Sanming's efforts, the Han army quickly reversed the previous passive situation, conquered many nomads, and recovered a large area of land.

Emperor Huan's fundamental purpose was the same, on the one hand, to restrict the development of the family, vigorously promote the people of the poor family, and on the other hand, to control the rights of the scholars, and prevent the scholars from forming gangs and factions to increase the power of the party.

The promulgation of the "Three Mutual Law" is also to accomplish this purpose, after all, it is greatly conducive to the elimination of the rule of officials, preventing officials from abusing power for personal gain, and increasing the interests of wealthy families.

However, this has also led to officials not being familiar with the local situation, not being serious about handling affairs, and increasing the difficulty of government affairs, which is also the source of the strange phenomenon of "not making up for a long time" in the two prefectures of Youzhou and Hebei.

Entering the front hall, Song Yu, who had been out on the expedition for more than a year, although his face still showed a benevolent aura, he also faintly exuded a killing aura, which should be caused by being on the battlefield for a long time.

After saluting him, Song Yu asked bluntly: "Do you know about the He family?" ”

"My aunt sent someone to deliver a message, and I know it."

"That being the case, I said bluntly, Lu Changshi passed the word, and the queen of Yan in the palace had two intentions, wanting to unite with the Song family and plot against him." Song Yu said in a cold tone.

Fuquan was furious and shouted, "Who is so arrogant? The queen is loyal and virtuous, how can a petty person slander her? ”

"Who could it be? The queen has no children, and the other party is very powerful in the palace, if she is not sure, how can she dare to spread this word in the palace? ”

Fu Quan was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Song Yu had already guessed who it was, and then after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

Song Yu has already pointed out who the other party is, "the queen has no children", now the most profitable is the He family, if the He family gives birth to a prince, the queen of the Song family will be in the way, so of course the He family, who is united with the eunuchs, must be arranged in advance, if the prince is born, it is the beginning of the joint abolition of the Song family's throne.

"Father, rest easy, Your Majesty doesn't like your aunt for a long time, so she can't come in a hurry. Looking at the situation of the aunt, if it were not for the rise of the Song and Fu families, the Empress Dowager Dong would have suppressed her in the harem, and the palace ladies coveted the queen's position, and there was only one way to break this crisis. Fu Quan said slowly.

"What's the plan?"

"If my aunt has a son, she can do it."

"This ......" Song Yu was dumbfounded, everyone knows this strategy, but Liu Hong rarely goes to Changqiu Palace, and rarely stays overnight, how can there be a chance to make Song pregnant? Not to mention the prince.

This is an intractable situation, the queen has no children, what if her relatives are relatives of the emperor? Can we rest with the country?

(End of Volume 1)

——————————————————————————————————————————————

First of all, let's talk about cannibalism, before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were really few cannibalism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some were only examples of a certain period, not as later public opinion said, the late Eastern Han Dynasty was a human tragedy of cannibalism. Because before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the self-help system of the Eastern Han government did not completely collapse, even if it was inflationary, the government would still pay for disaster relief, most of which were in the early stage of the disaster, and the rescue was not in place and had an accident.

After that, the end of the first volume, in fact, some readers may also have discovered that the plot connection in the later part of the first volume is not good, because Quan Shi is the first time to write history, and the plot has not been mastered well, but there are some words in my heart that I want to express in words, because there are too many brainless romance styles on the Internet now, and I want to vomit when I see it, so I added a lot of material in the first volume, and some people say that I am Hei Yuan, Hei Cao, and Hei Liu, just say it, I don't care anyway......

Here Quan Shi said, the last few chapters may be hard to read, and slow to heat, and those who can stick to it are really historical veterans, and Quan Shi doesn't want to write these, after all, some romance fans will say that I washed the Eastern Han Dynasty government or something. But I'm a party examiner, and I can't help but add these things, which also makes me think about the headache, after all, how to add these historical materials, and can't be said to be injected with water, very much about writing.

It stands to reason that for the sake of results, I should be like everyone else, writing about hegemony, blood, system, and life flow, but seriously, I can't read most of the current historical essays, because they can't poke my cool points, which is also the original intention of I want to write historical essays.

Originally, I wanted to choose Song to write it, but then I thought about it as the first book of the newcomer or chose the best, although the Three Kingdoms were written badly. In addition, the plot in the back,Don't explain the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty clearly.,Some of the content said is estimated to make most people feel that I don't understand history.,There are still a few chapters in the first volume that will end.,The protagonist should also enter the court as an official.,Let's witness the rise of the strong man with Quan Shi!!

In addition, thank you for supporting me from the beginning of this book hero 0007, crazy Zhao Xin, Shan Heshi and others, I actually sent a book review area to thank you with a trick, but I don't know if you see it, I am very happy to see you continue to vote for recommendations, I hope you will continue to support you!!
