172 Characteristics of the Emperor

Autumn turned to winter, and the Han Dynasty experienced a stormy war, which greatly damaged its vitality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, small rebellions continued to occur in various places, giving rise to many scattered forces, such as Montenegro, Baibo, Huanglong, Zuoxiao, Niujiao, Wulu, Yigen, and Li Damu, and there were thousands of people in these small forces, and even millions in the big ones. Although many rebellions were suppressed, many Yellow Turban leaders experienced the Yellow Turban War, and this time they learned to be smart, and when the imperial army arrived, they fled to the mountains and forests, and only came out of the mountains and forests after the army left, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the imperial army, so that the famous generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were not able to surround the rebellion at one time.

In November 184, Huang Zhongyi rebelled from Hu, set up Beigong Yu and Li Wenhou as generals, and jointly rebelled against Xizhou, killing Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang. Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang sent Gai Xun to lead the army to garrison Ayang County, and the rebels saw that Ayang County could not be breached, so they turned to attack Jincheng County, killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng County, coerced Bian Zhang and Han Sui to join the gang, and elected Bian Zhang as the leader.

In order to calm people's hearts, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty changed the year name Guanghe to Zhongping in December 184, which was the fourth year of his accession, known as the first year of Zhongping.

"Hmph······ Zhongping, Your Majesty thinks that this era name can eliminate the war, and it must be people's hearts, but I don't know how ridiculous this is. Now the Han Dynasty is full of holes, and if there is no reform, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will soon be in the world. Li Zhen sneered in the study and said to Tian Feng. Today, Emperor Ling convened a meeting of 100 officials, personally issued a holy decree in the court, and changed the year name to Zhongping. Zhongping, Zhongping doesn't mean that it is mediocre and ordinary, and there will be no winds and waves. If there is no war in the world, this Zhongping year name can also be called, but now there are wars, in this case, Emperor Ling changed the year name to Zhongping, this is not a bit of self-deception. No one stopped the civil and military officials, and the shrewd people each planned for their own future in their hearts.

"Haha, it seems that our Majesty has pinned his hopes in the ethereal era." Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Alas! I want to put down the war in the world with an era name, I don't know if Your Majesty is too beautiful to imagine, or if you are a little self-aware. ”

"Oh, what's the point?" Li Zhen asked. If it is too good to imagine Li Zhen, he still understands, but if Emperor Ling has some self-knowledge, he will not understand.

Tian Feng was a little sad, although he didn't have a good impression of Emperor Han Ling, but he had a certain amount of feelings for the Han Dynasty, this is the dynasty that gave birth to himself and raised himself, and it was a lie if he didn't have feelings. Who knows the contradiction that today wants to talk about its future in this small study, and even that it may be subverted by itself with its own hands in the forces in which it participates? However, thinking that the Han Dynasty, who has experienced 400 years, if he is destroyed by his own plan, will he be like every generation of founding heroes in history, and he will be famous in history, thinking about it, he has a desire for an unknown impulse. "Hehe, the current Han Dynasty is already rotten and terminally ill, even if His Majesty wants to reform, there will be people to stop him, and he is also powerless. After the lord saw that the Han Dynasty passed through the five emperors of An, Shun, Chong, Qian, and Heng, they actually all had a common characteristic, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the chaotic government of eunuchs, and the competition for the position of the harem, and the power was constantly changing alternately in these three forces, while the imperial power was getting weaker and weaker. Let's talk about Emperor He! He was the young lord who ascended the throne and was ruled by his adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Dou. When the queen mother came to power, she would inevitably reuse her family to control the situation, and over time, it would cause the dictatorship of her relatives. If the young lord grows up to grasp real power, he must find a political force to support him, so the emperor observes the eunuchs around him, and they come to replace the dictatorship of his relatives, which forms a situation of eunuch chaos. This cycle repeats itself, the cycle continues, and the imperial power is excessively in this situation where relatives and eunuchs are tilting against each other and alternating dictatorships, and what is Your Majesty's ability to change. Tian Feng's last words were all shouted out with his own strength, and these words made him heartbroken. The literati all thought that they were full of extraordinary economic ability, and thought that they could make a difference in the future, serve the country, and change the injustices in the world. But who knew that the ideal was plump, and the future was so bumpy. After some storms, he understood that Dahan was hopeless.

Looking at Tian Feng, who was wide-eyed with angry eyes, Li Zhen didn't care about his faux pas, but calmly thought about what he would do if he became the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The dictatorship of foreign relatives, the chaotic government of eunuchs, the competition for the position of the harem, the three forces alternate with each other, even if they are helpless, if they are unwilling to be mediocre and just show some deeds, I am afraid that they will also be killed by these people unconsciously.

Tian Feng calmed down and said: "So I said that Your Majesty still has some self-knowledge, and now continue his pleasures, he can be regarded as being able to play one day at a time, and the future affairs of the children and grandchildren have never been considered." ”

Li Zhen walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the Yinchuan outside the window, the cold wind blew, and said with a sigh: "Yes! The current Han is terminally ill, and His Majesty has already seen it clearly, so I'm afraid he is also dead set on this. Now they are only greedy for pleasure, and the affairs of their children and grandchildren are also up to them, and it is up to them whether they die or live. ”

Tian Feng remembered the rude he had made to Li Zhen just now, and bowed down and said, "The lord asks for forgiveness, my subordinates made a move to offend the lord just now, and I also ask the lord to punish the crime." ”

Li Zhen helped Tian Feng up and said with a smile: "Mr.'s words just now made me understand the root of the illness of the Han Dynasty, what are you guilty of?" Now that the cause has been found, there is a way to put an end to it. ”

Tian Feng smiled bitterly, the lord thinks highly of himself, how can he eliminate the problem that no one has been able to solve for hundreds of years. Problems that the scribe could not solve, never spoke directly, but went around in several circles. "In all dynasties, the ancient Ming monarchs were all in the opening dynasties, they were eloquent, meritocracy, and had strong decision-making power, and at this time the power was concentrated on him alone. The second generation of emperors is not enough to open up but is better than to keep it, and the third generation of emperors has settled down in the world at this time, as long as they are a little virtuous, they will keep the ancestral foundation. As for the future emperor, unless he is a truly eloquent and virtuous monarch, there will be ······ party strife. ”

After Tian Feng finished speaking, he quietly looked at Li Zhen, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his face was calm.

Li Zhen shook his head, he hadn't reached that position yet, what was the use of thinking so much now. When you really sit in that position, you will sort out the systems of each dynasty to see if there is anything suitable for you, and it is normal to say that the dynasty changer is also a normal thing, no dynasty can stand for a thousand years, and children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

"Report, Miss Cai sent someone to ask the lord to come over to the house." (To be continued.) )
