Yang Ci's views also represent the views of some staff officers around Wang Yun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they all agreed: Zhang Rang must kill you this time, you will definitely die. It's better to commit suicide just like that, save yourself from being tortured, and get the name of a martyr. Twenty years from now, you'll be a good man again.

The staff officers even prepared the poison and served it with a runny nose. They thought that Wang Yun would not refuse their kindness. But who would have thought that Wang Yun would sharply refuse, "I am a minister, and I will be convicted by the king." He should be punished by Da Pi, to thank the world, how can he eat poison and seek death" Yes! I will die and I will die! was dragged to the street and cut down, but he couldn't kill himself, and he ended up with an unknown reputation!

After Wang Yun finished speaking, he spilled the poisonous wine on the ground, went out with his head held high, and got into the prisoner car and left.

In the Han Dynasty, there were many people who faced huge injustices and committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pressure. For Wang Yun, he has died several times. It's only now that I'm dead, and it's earned. If you can splash blood on the execution ground and announce it to the world, it will be even more profitable.

But Wang Yun wanted to die, but some people were unwilling to let him die. This time, it was not God who saved him, but the three masters of the Han Dynasty officialdom who joined forces to save him: the generals He Jin, Yang Ci, and Situ Yuan Kui.

The above three people can be described as the luxurious lineup of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty: He Jin is a relative and has a lot of energy. Those who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms know that the Yuan family, with Yuan An as the ancestor, is very good, and has a signboard of the fourth world and the third prince on his head. At that time, the Yang family, which was famous in Luoyang at the same time as the Yuan family, was the Yang family with Yang Zhen as the ancestor. Yang Ci is the grandson of Yang Zhen and the son of Yang Bing. The Yang family is also the third prince of the fourth generation, and they are all the first lieutenants of the three princes, which is better than the Yuan family. Of course, in Yang Xiu's generation, he ended up being beheaded for being smart. Yuan Tangsheng, the grandson of Yuan An, had three sons: the eldest son Yuan Cheng died early, leaving behind his son Yuan Shao; the second son, Yuan Feng, whose son is Yuan Shu; The third son is Yuan Kui. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both one of the protagonists of future history. Yuan Kui's energy cannot be underestimated. In the Han Dynasty scholar group, the Yuan family has the closest relationship with the eunuch group, and the Yuan family is hotly fought, and the Yuan family is also favored by the world.

He Jin, Yang Ci, and Yuan Kui jointly went to Liu Hong and spoke for Wang Yun: Wang Yun was ordered to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in a very short time. Instead of being rewarded, he was punished, and he was very unconvinced. The ministers and the other three hoped that Wang Yun would get a fair trial so that the world could hear about it. The three of them were actually telling the emperor euphemistically: We know that the so-called arrest of Wang Yun is not because Wang Yun is guilty, but because someone deliberately wants to rectify Wang Yun. Of course, that person is Zhang Rang.

Liu Hong looked at Song Shu and was silent for a long time, and then sighed for a long time: Wang Yun's matter seems to be untidy today. It's a long time coming, let's fix it another day...

Liu Hong issued an edict to exempt Wang Yun from the death penalty and release him. However, after Wang Yun was released from prison, he immediately disappeared in the rivers and lakes. No one knows where he went. According to reliable information, he changed his name and went into hiding, waiting for the right moment, ready to take revenge.

In January of the 2nd year of Zhongping (185), after the great chaos, there will be a great epidemic. A terrible plague spreads in a land without spring. It seems that Liu Hong is really in a bad year. On February 10, a fire broke out in the Yuntai of Luoyang Nangong. On the 11th, there was a fire at Lecheng Gate. The fire was extinguished for half a month. On the 25th, the outhouse of Guangyangmen broke itself again for no reason.

This fire burned Liu Hong's place of pleasure to the ground. After that, no one traced what happened to the fire. On the contrary, it was suggested that the palace should be rebuilt. But it costs money to rebuild the palace! The Han Dynasty had run out of money for a long time, and if Liu Hong was asked to repair it out of his own pocket, he would not do it.

What made Liu Hong happy was that some people said that the money for repairing the palace did not need to be paid by the leader, and someone would naturally pay it. It was Liu Hong's father Zhang Rang and mother Zhao Zhong who said this. The two of them said: The money for repairing the palace can be apportioned to the locality, and the land endowment of the whole country can be increased, and ten yuan per mu will be added to repair the palace room and cast bronze people.

No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter emperor! Liu Hong liked this, and immediately issued an edict agreeing to increase the endowment. However, some people were in a hurry: Le'an guarded Lu Kang to the emperor, quoted scriptures, and talked about it from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present. In a word, the national crisis is at the head, and the land endowment cannot be added. The common people have already lived a very hard life, and if they are given more, be careful that they will make trouble again.

As soon as Lu Kang arrived, Zhang Rang and other eunuchs rushed to hear the news and attacked in groups, saying that Lu Kang had bad intentions and committed the crime of disrespect. So Lu Kang was escorted back to Luoyang in a prisoner car. However, because of the intercession of Liu Dai, Lu Kang was able to pick up a life from the knives of the eunuchs and return to his hometown.

We know: Zhang Rang was really ruthless when he dealt with Wang Yun before. After you get out of prison, you will do it right, and Wang Yun has to quit the rivers and lakes. But this time, Zhang Rang did not beat Lu Kang to death with a stick, but let him go.

Why is this happening? I think that Zhang Rang's purpose of beating people has basically been achieved. Wang Yun wants his life, and Lu Kang just wants to block his financial path. And although Lu Kang escaped, Zhang Rang had already taken this opportunity to warn those who wanted to stand in his way.

Lu Kang dissuaded Liu Hong from spending money indiscriminately, why did he block the financial path of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs? If you can see the following scene, you may sincerely admire the minds of these eunuchs. There is not only well-behaved sycophant, but also lucrative economics.

After Liu Hong's palace project was completed, the task was assigned to the local states and counties, and they were to purchase timber and rocks instead of the royal family... When the task was first issued, perhaps the governors of various states and counties wanted to make some money in the huge project of the central government; But when they really contracted the work, they all wanted to cry without tears. The reason is that they were all fooled! They were all deceived by the eunuchs, and they had nowhere to complain.

The situation is as follows: the prefectures and counties send the purchased timber to the capital division. It was a group of eunuchs who were in charge of the acquisition. They have a serious acceptance, and at the same time the same sentence for every delivery is "quality problems, unqualified." Refuse to sign"

When the local government heard this, their hearts were cold. There were no trains, no wagons, only horse-drawn carriages. It's not easy to transport such a heavy thing thousands of miles away, and it was even beaten back and said it was unqualified?

The local governments were depressed for a long time, and finally thought about whether the eunuchs wanted to get a card so that they could make some money? That's true, but it's not entirely true. In fact, the eunuchs want to make money, but it's not just your local government that can send them away by paying a little bribe! The eunuchs' way to make money is not as simple as the local officials think!

Soon, the eunuchs told the local government that delivered the goods, "Your task of purchasing on behalf of you is still very heavy. Hurry up and sell the goods in your hand, and go back to complete the task."

The local government replied, "We want to go back too." But if you don't accept this goods, how can we get back?"

The eunuchs said, "This is easy." If your quality is not up to par, we will charge 1/10 of the market price, and then you can go back."

The local government finally got it. Eunuchs, this is called forced buying. Non-negotiable! If you do it with them, it is estimated that even 1/10 of the price will be gone. So everyone had to reluctantly cut their love, and 1/10 was sold to the eunuch... But just as the local government officials were about to go back, the eunuchs came out again and said, "You guys will definitely not be able to complete the task back and forth like this." I know where you can find the best quality wood. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely pay the difference"

It's not bad for local government officials to think that they can spend money to eliminate the disaster, such as going back to cut down trees, and next time it's 1/10. In this way, another hundred years of cutting will not be able to complete the apportioned task. So the people asked, "Where can I buy the good wood you said?"

The eunuchs laughed: "Good timber is in our warehouse." As long as you pay the money, you can buy "Oh God! What the hell is this world? The eunuchs just forced the sale, and in the blink of an eye, they want to make a forced sale? Yes! The eunuchs just forcibly sold the things they had just bought from them to them, and the price was of course not 1/10 of the previous price, but sold at the original market price!

I've seen profiteers, but I've never seen such a profiteer! The local government officials think about it, don't the eunuchs just want to make the difference of 9/10? Think of it as a bribe! After handing it in, first make up enough money to pay the difference, and as for the loss part, let's find a way another day!

Soon, however, they find out that they are wrong again! The greed of the eunuchs is really beyond the mode of human thinking!

Local government officials buy all the timber at the market price and then hand it over. The eunuchs took the money, looked back at the wood, and said, "I'm sorry!" Your goods are not qualified, we really can't accept them. Let's go back and get some fresh goods and come back to pay for it."

What is the rationale for this? I just bought it from you, and now I give it to you, and it's not up to standard? It's too dark, isn't it? But truth be told, the eunuchs were right: most of the timber was substandard. Because of being tossed and turned in this way, the wood has rotted, and the palace cannot be repaired at all.

Seeing that they couldn't complete their tasks, all the states and counties cried urgently. But after crying, they had to wipe away their tears, go back to their locals, and call on the people to go and cut down the trees again. The wood that can be sent up is still the same as the copy of the above scene.

In this way, Liu Hong's beautiful palace was delayed for a long time and could not be started. At the same time, it has become a cash cow for the eunuchs. It is estimated that Lu Kang didn't expect it: he stepped forward and blocked the eunuchs from such a majestic financial road! As long as the palace is not finished, they will be rich!

But the eunuchs only cared about making a fortune and did not repair the palace, which made Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, anxious. I have said that no matter how bitter I am, I can't be bitter about the emperor, I've been waiting for so long, why hasn't the palace started yet?

Liu Hong's accountability was not for eunuchs, but for local prefectures and counties. He sent people to various places to rush the mission. The state and county officials looked at all this in front of them, and infinite sorrow welled up in their hearts, but there was nowhere to complain. He also had to accompany the smiling faces, bribe the court envoys, and beg them to say a few good words for himself in front of the emperor.

The people scolded these people for being dog officials who only bullied people, but if they stood in the position of a magistrate, should they scold Liu Hong for being a dog emperor?

And that's not all! Liu Hong also introduced a new method for collecting money: all those who are promoted or transferred to work after the state assassin and county guard, and who recommend Maocai and filial piety to be officials, will first pay the money for helping the army and repairing the palace. It is not too much for large counties to pay 20 or 30 million yuan, while small counties can pay a little less. Liu Hong also demanded that officials must go to the Xiyuan Mansion to negotiate the price before they can take up their posts.

Those officials who do not accept promotions, they either have no money to pay, or they are upright officials, and they do not want to pay this money, which makes the world laugh. But Liu Hong still forced them to accept the appointment, that is, forced you to pay the money... What will happen to this? Soon we saw it - a human life!

Sima Zhi was appointed as the Taishou of Julu. The eunuchs also knew that there was not much oil and water to be squeezed from such people. So they kindly told Sima Zhi: We know that you have no money, so you are given special preferential treatment, as long as you pay three million, you can go to work.

Sima went directly to the letter of appointment, and when he saw the transaction price, he sighed abruptly, "As a parent official, he does not do things for the people, but cuts off the people and caters to the dirty world, I can't bear it" Sima Zhi decided to resign due to illness, but the request was quickly rejected by the imperial court. There's no reason why you have to accept the position anyway if you're sick. In other words: whether you are an official or not, the 3 million money must be paid!

Sima Zhi had no choice but to set off with a tragic mood. Sigh all the way. In an era where there are no ideals and no value, choosing to resist is like a moth to a fire, and there is a dead end. If you don't resist, it's also a dead end. Could it be that the way that this world offers to the reader is either black or dead? If it were death, I would rather die to accuse!

So Sima Zhi, who had just walked to the Mengjin Ferry, suddenly stopped, wrote a book, scolded Liu Hong from beginning to end, and after scolding, he committed suicide by swallowing medicine.

Liu Hong was scolded by Sima Zhi, and suddenly sobered up again. Ordered a temporary suspension of the palace money... The Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been put down. The scar is good, you can't forget the pain! It's a pity that Liu Hong's enlightenment is temporary. Classic loser. The 400-year-old great cause of the Han Dynasty is about to be lost in his hands.
