On this day, due to a solar eclipse, Duan Cheng self-impeached and stayed at home to wait for punishment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt just so happened that on this day, Wang Fu was also on vacation and stayed at home and did not go out. It just so happened that on this day, Yang Qiu, who had just been appointed as the lieutenant of Sili, was going to enter the palace to thank him. Yang Qiu met Liu Hong, and after saying polite words, he suddenly reported an important work: Wang Fu, Duan Cheng, Chun Yudeng, Yuan Yu, Feng? and so on, and the evidence is conclusive, I now ask you to allow me to arrest and bring them to justice.

Wang Fu really deserves it. He actually let his protégé Wang Biao openly embezzle more than 70 million yuan of Luoyang government property, and Jing Zhaoyin happened to be Yang Biao, the great-grandson of Yang Zhen, who was incompatible with the eunuchs back then. Yang Biao reported the matter to Yang Qiu, and Yang Qiu came today to talk about it.

Wang Fu knows that he is greedy for money and makes money, why doesn't he know: there is a person who loves money more than him, and takes making money as his lifelong ideal and pursuit? This person, of course, is Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling!

Wang Fu's embezzlement of government property is 70 million yuan, how many officials does Liu Hong have to sell to get it back? Isn't this tantamount to cutting meat in the emperor's heart? Liu Hong, who absolutely couldn't tolerate this, immediately approved Yang Qiu's recital. The Yellow Sparrow is finally ready to attack!

On the 8th, Yang Qiu began to arrest people. Wang Fu, Duan Cheng and Wang Fu's two adopted sons, Yongle Shaofu Wang Meng, Peixiang Wang Ji and others, were all arrested. Yang Qiu personally presided over the trial, and was known as a famous cool official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and naturally showed the demeanor of a cool official in front of Wang Fu. So Yang Qiu used all the tricks of torturing prisoners, and there were five tricks, known as the five poisons, namely: whipping, beating, burning, rope binding, and hanging.

Wang Meng used to be the captain of Si Li, so he pleaded to Yang Qiu, "I know that death is inevitable. Nian has served in our succession, don't you be quick, don't toss my father Wang Fu to the point that life is worse than death" Yang Qiu yelled loudly, "What kind of play are you? The crime is monstrous, and I still have the face to make friends with me" The skin of the face is torn!

Wang Meng suddenly jumped up and scolded: "Is it me shameless or are you shameless?" When you first scolded our father and son, you looked servile. Now that the slave has won the will, he will betray his master. But I tell you, one day, you too will have retribution."

Did Yangqiu ever stammer with Wang Fu? The answer is yes. Two years ago, Yang Qiu, who was the minister of state of Pingyuan at the time, was dismissed and imprisoned because of his harsh governance. Later, because of the intercession of the eunuchs, he was pardoned and was named the Lang. Last year, Yang Qiu and the eunuchs framed Cai Yong again. So Wang Meng's scolding is not too much, this guy is not a good thing. In fact, this is nothing, floating in the political rivers and lakes, there are no pure and flawed characters. If there is, it only means that he is a god, not a man.

Yang Qiu was scolded by Wang Meng so much that he jumped up on the spot, grabbed a handful of dirt and plugged the other party's mouth. Then he was hung up and beaten wildly, beating Wang Fu's father and son to death. Duan Cheng couldn't hold it anymore and committed suicide.

killed Wang Fu, Yang Qiu also played a little perverted, cut the corpse piece by piece, put it in the Xia City Gate, and posted a big poster "Thief Wang Fu" and confiscated all Wang Fu's property. The family was exiled to Bijing County, Nignam-gun.

With Liu Hong's support, Yangqiu was completely played. In his opinion, this is just a prologue, killing Wang Fu, Cao Jie, and many powerful people who are fighting with the eunuchs. Yang Qiu openly said to his subordinate Zhongdu Guan, "Kill these people, and I will let you kill them." I don't need to be there myself."

When the news came out, Luoyang City was in an uproar. There are no powerful people who have dealings with eunuchs who have lost their voices. These words frightened the eunuch Cao Jie even more, and he didn't even dare to go home on vacation.

When a person is most proud, it is often the most dangerous time, and this is true throughout the ages. Yang Qiu thinks he is sure of victory, but he doesn't know that the storm has been brewing under the calm seabed...

In front of Yang Qiu, Cao Jie pretended to be a grandson, as if he was really afraid. In fact, if he is really afraid, he will not be called Cao Jie. It wasn't a day or two since he had been fighting with the scholars. Didn't Dou Wu and Chen Fan think that victory was in sight? But the result? Wasn't he knocked to the ground and hated for eternity?

Therefore, Yang Qiu is pressing step by step, and Cao Jie will never sit and wait to die. He's just waiting for the perfect time to make a move! Even Cao Jie didn't expect that it was a tragic scene that stimulated him and forced him to fight back with all his might!

Here's the thing: Emperor Chong of Han's biological mother, Yu Guiren, died, and all the civil and military officials had to go out of the city for funeral. When they returned to the city, they saw Wang Fu's pile of stinky meat that had been cut down at the gate of the city. Cao Jie's tears immediately flowed.

This is the result of cannibalism. Could it be that I, Cao Jie, will also become the second Wang Fu, chopped into minced meat, and become the juice of flies? An inexplicable fear and great hatred welled up in my heart!

At this time, I saw Cao Jie say to all the regular attendants, "Don't go home, follow me into the palace" The eunuchs entered the palace en masse, of course, not to hide. They can't hide, and they can't hide, so they entered the palace today for only one thing - to find Liu Hong and impeach Yang Qiu!

Cao Jie rushed straight to the harem, came to Liu Hong, and said, "Yangqiu used to be just a cool official, and the Sanfu had impeached him, but later, because of his meritorious service in fighting the black in Jiujiang, you promoted him to be an official." We unanimously agreed: this reckless man is no longer suitable to be a lieutenant."

Liu Hong was secretly surprised when he saw Cao Jie and other eunuchs. It's terrible, Yang Qiu just touched the tiger's buttocks, and the tiger yelled at him, if he really hit the tiger, didn't he want to be ugly? Besides, Wang Fu can be killed, because he made money and got it to Lao Tzu. But Cao Jie can't, the scene of the eunuch killing Dou Wu that year is still vivid, it was Cao Jie who gave him a sword and sent someone to protect him to escape...

Liu Hong looked at Cao Jie and seemed to have an idea in his heart. Cao Jie just said that Yang Qiu was not suitable to be a lieutenant, and did not say that he could not be used for other positions. In this case, give him a different position. So Liu Hong decided on the spot: Qianyang Qiu is the guard.

Of course, Cao Jie knew that it was impossible to beat the yang ball with a stick. Clearly, this is Yang Qiu and other Gang of Four fighting with him, but in fact, the real master is still hidden behind the scenes, that is, the harem! That's right! That person is, of course, Yang Qiu's father-in-law, Cheng Huang. This guy is not obvious, but in fact, he secretly helped Yang Qiu and Liu He's two sons-in-law to seize power. Without him, even if there are ten yang balls, he will not be able to turn over the clouds and rain in front of Liu Hong, vertical and horizontal.

Therefore, first transfer Yangqiu away from Captain Sili, and then find a way to deal with Cheng Huang first...

Time is of the essence. When Liu Hong issued the edict, Cao Jie immediately ordered Shang Shuling to announce this personnel order to Yangqiu. Yang Qiu also learned of this information as soon as possible, and immediately broke into the harem. Yang Qiu wants to fight for a life-threatening chance for himself at the last moment!

When Yang Qiu saw Liu Hong, he could no longer hide the panic in his heart, and he told Liu Hong, "Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, I am a person who has no high moral character to be your flying eagle lackey." But now I beg Your Majesty, give me another chance to do something" Yang Qiu finally admitted, Cao Jie's previous accusations against him were not completely unreasonable. But what he wants to tell Liu Hong now is: he wants to kill the eunuchs now, not for himself, but for the world! Then Yang Qiu said, "I killed Wang Fu and Duan Cheng before, but it was just a small fight. As long as Your Majesty can give me another month, I will definitely kill all the jackals, tigers and leopards in Luoyang City and clarify the world. Let everyone in the world see that these scum have paid the due price for their crimes"

After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he kept snorting his head violently, and his head was bleeding.

At this time, there was a group of eunuchs standing beside Liu Hong, and they all became angry when they looked at Yang Qiu's tragic statement: a person who thought that his morals were not noble actually said such impassioned words in the name of justice... Who is the jackal, tiger and leopard? Do you want to learn from Dou Wu and kill us all? Think beautifully!

The eunuchs collectively roared "My lord, the edict has been issued, do you want to disobey the holy decree" Yang Qiu was still unwilling, and the eunuchs roared two or three times in a row before shaking their heads and sighing, getting up and retreating. He knew the tide was turning...

Cao Jie, Zhu Yu and other eunuchs regained power. Cao Jie was also named Shangshu Ling. Lang Zhongzhong wrote a letter to advise, but Liu Hong not only did not listen, but also prepared to appoint another Zhongchang servant Lu Qiang as the marquis of the capital.

In the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, we have seen too many bastard eunuchs, but occasionally we will see one or two good ones. Such as this Lu Qiang, he is an outlier in the eunuch circle.

Lv Qiang, the word Hansheng. From this word, you can see his ambition. Lu Qiang worries about the country and the people, is loyal and dedicated, and often blows the wind of clarity in Liu Hong's ears. This time, Lu Qiang refused to accept the marquis, and also wrote "Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, made a covenant: no marquis shall be made if he is not a meritorious hero." If you are now indiscriminately sealing the marquis, you are destroying the ancestral system. The marquis of Cao Jie and other eunuchs should be removed immediately. The reason is very simple: they all have the shadow of Zhao Gao's chaotic government back then, and they must be guarded against. After speaking, the eunuch said to the palace maid: There are too many women in your harem, there are thousands of people, and you will spend hundreds of gold every day just for food and clothing. Now that the country's finances are tight, you are still spending money lavishly. You should send some of the palace maids out to farm, you can spend less money yourself, and you can generate income for the country, why not? Also: Cai Yong is a loyal minister and was exiled by you; Although Duan Cheng is guilty, he also has credit for the country. You should call Cai Yong to return to the court and pardon Duan Cheng's family, so that you can open the road of loyalty and put an end to everyone's grievances" In short, he said a lot of things that were different from other eunuchs, Liu Hong knew from his heart that these words were right, but he didn't accept them.

On the 24th, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty accepted the proposal of He Hai, the magistrate of Shanglu County, Wudu County, to grant amnesty to the world. All party members from the ancestors down to the ancestors have been pardoned.

In May, Liu Kuan, a guard lieutenant, was promoted to lieutenant.

Protecting the Huns Zhonglang will Zhang Xiu and the Southern Xiongnu call for a single discord, Zhang Xiu killed the call for a single Yu without authorization, and set up the right virtuous king Qiangqu as a single Yu. In July, Zhang Xiu was escorted back in a prison car for the crime of 'killing without first asking', and was finally sentenced to death by Tingwei.

Get the yang ball, and the next one is Cheng Huang. What to do with this old guy? That's a problem. Cao Jie thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to solve it. At this moment, Luoyang City knows that Cao Jie and Cheng Huang are playing against each other, and who has the advantage is obviously the former. However, no one expected that Cao Jie would personally visit Cheng Huang and give a lot of gifts. If it sounds good, it is a gift, but if it is ugly, it is a bribe.

After saying good things and giving good gifts, Cao Jie suddenly shook out a secret to Cheng Huang, which made Cheng Huang's face change suddenly. What is it? He told Cheng Huang like this, "We have found out that your two sons-in-law secretly colluded with Chen Qiu and Liu Na to form a group of four in an attempt to misbehave." It's no wonder that Cheng Huang couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this.

At this time, I saw the old Jianghu Cao Jie saying slowly, "Master Cheng, don't be nervous. I'll put the words in front first, confess leniently, resist strictly, if you recruit everything, I will never embarrass you" What is this trick called? It is clear that it is to salute first and then to soldier. Cao Jie seemed to tell Cheng Huang: As long as you are willing to throw away those carriages and horses, you can still keep it. Otherwise, hum...

Cheng Huang had no choice and no way out, so he had to move the yang ball. Indeed, they are a new foursome, and they have close ties with the vassal kingdom and have malicious intentions.

What malice do Yang Qiu and the others have? Cheng Huang didn't make it clear. But we can hear more or less the voice, if we guess correctly, they think that Liu Hong is incompetent, and they are ready to kill the eunuchs, kidnap Liu Hong, force him to step down, and set up another emperor...

The plot was wrong, and he ran to Tai Sui's head to break ground! Liu Hong listened, so what else did he get?

Sure enough, after Cao Jie left Cheng Huang's house, he turned around and rushed to see Liu Hong, and all the conspiracy of Yang Qiu and the Gang of Four was revealed. Liu Hong didn't say much nonsense, and immediately issued an edict to arrest Yang Qiu and the other four.

On October 14, Yang Qiu, Chen Qiu, Liu Na, and Liu He were all arrested and sentenced to death in prison.

Cao Jie told the Han Dynasty with a strong deterrent: This era is not the emperor's, nor the scholars', nor the relatives', but the real eunuchs! We can tell the whole world: this is the era of powerful and shameless eunuchs!

The eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty estimated that they had positioned themselves as professional actors on the stage of the Han Dynasty. The people are in the play, the play is in the people, and the people will never leave until the play is dispersed. Yes, now the drama is entering its climax, and they are dancing with demons, drawing their swords, and fighting to defend the cult...
