70 Placement of eunuchs
When Liu Hong was busy finalizing the project and tinkering with treasury bills, those eunuchs became more and more rampant, almost to the point of anger and resentment.
Now, most people can't stand them anymore. There are even many people who have united to fight against these eunuchs.
In the eyes of these ministers, it is simply unrealistic to expect Liu Hong to deal with these eunuchs. If Liu Hong wanted to deal with them, he would have done it a long time ago, not to mention letting them run rampant so far. Therefore, since they can't count on Liu Hong, they can only think of other ways.
What can be done to clean up these eunuchs?
They thought about it and felt that it was to overturn the case for Dou Wu and Chen Fan in order to get rid of those eunuchs. Although these two people are dead, the Empress Dowager Dou is still alive. As long as Dou Wu's case is overturned, Empress Dowager Dou will be able to listen to politics again. This is a great revenge for killing his father and destroying the clan, if the Empress Dowager Dou regains power, it will be strange if she can let these eunuchs go.
Otherwise, Xiucai will not succeed in rebellion for three years. These ministers are all talkative, and they have no real ability at all.
Liu Hong looked at the intelligence officer's report and kept pouting, "My day, such a big thing, you dare to make it known to everyone, if you can succeed in this way, then God is really blind." ”
Sure enough, as Liu Hong guessed, as soon as the eunuchs heard that those ministers were going to overturn the case for Dou Wu and them, and they wanted to let the Empress Dowager Dou listen to the government again, those eunuchs were all afraid. When Empress Dowager Dou came out, it was their death period, how could these eunuchs wait for death. So as soon as they were ruthless, they drugged the Empress Dowager Dou to death.
As soon as Empress Dowager Dou died, things immediately became bigger. Now even fools can know that the death of the Empress Dowager Dou is inseparable from those eunuchs.
No one dared to call the shots about such a big matter, so it went directly to Liu Hong. Liu Hong looked at the excited ministers, and it was not easy to stop them directly, so he could only let them investigate thoroughly.
These ministers have received Liu Hong's holy decree, and they can be regarded as busy. They were almost turning the palace upside down, desperately looking for evidence that those eunuchs had poisoned Empress Dowager Dou.
It stands to reason that these eunuchs are ruthless, and it is impossible to leave evidence for doing such a thing. But these eunuchs are really unlucky, although those ministers, although they did not find evidence of poisoning Empress Dowager Dou, but they actually found out the evidence that those eunuchs poisoned Empress Deng back then.
Hearing the news, Liu Hong almost jumped up. This is worth it, he poisoned Queen Deng back then, but he sent someone to give those eunuchs the idea, if those ministers were allowed to investigate, they had to find him out.
Although even if those ministers knew, they couldn't do anything about him. But the reputation of poisoning the former queen spreads, and it is definitely not good to say.
Thinking of this, Liu Hong called the minister in charge of the investigation, "I heard that you want to investigate the cause of Empress Deng's death back then, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, through Wechen's investigation, Empress Deng was indeed poisoned and died, Wechen already has evidence, I hope Your Majesty will allow a thorough investigation."
"Allow Nima, let you check it again, and I'll be exposed." Liu Hong pretended to sigh and said, "This matter, after all, is related to the ugliness of the royal family. As the saying goes, you can't make a name for yourself. I don't want Aiqing to investigate this matter anymore. ”
"Don't let the investigation? If I don't investigate, how can I get those eunuchs down. "That minister, of course, never dreamed that Liu Hong would be involved in that incident. He really thought that Liu Hong was afraid of affecting the reputation of the royal family, so he said: "Your Majesty, although the reputation of the royal family is important, it is equally important to investigate the truth of the matter. The eunuchs were too bold to act. actually did the poisoning of the queen and the queen mother in a row, Your Majesty, you have to think about your safety! ”
This minister's reason is very powerful, if other people's emperors listen to it, they will definitely be moved by him. But Liu Hong can't, he himself is involved in this matter, how can he let others investigate.
"I know what you mean, I still don't want this matter to be investigated any further."
"Your Majesty......"
Liu Hong still didn't let the investigation, of course the minister was in a hurry, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Hong, "I know that you want to investigate the reason for Empress Deng, and I don't want to expose the scandal of the royal family because of the fight between you and the eunuchs." During this time, I was busy with the two things of cash for work and treasury bills, and I didn't care about anything else. Now it seems that these eunuchs have made too much trouble during this time. Tell me what you want. I'll find a way to give you an explanation. ”
The minister understood now, this is a typical slap to a sweet date. But he didn't have any opinion, they were originally going to clean up those eunuchs. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for him to offend the emperor for the sake of a dead Empress Deng.
"Your Majesty, the harm of eunuchs interfering in politics is too great, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, please put an end to eunuchs getting involved in political affairs."
"Aiqing is right, these eunuchs are really not suitable for political affairs anymore."
After receiving Liu Hong's exact reply, the minister left happily so that he could go back and preach the good news to the others.
After sending the minister away, Liu Hong found all the leaders of the eunuchs.
When it was time to make a decision, Liu Hong no longer hesitated, looked at the leaders of the big eunuchs in front of him and said, "Since I ascended the throne, you have really been very attentive to my service. So I've always been very indulgent to you. But you, this time the trouble is too unusual, not only provoked the ministers to attack it, but also let the family catch the handle. ”
Hearing Liu Hong's words, all the eunuchs knelt on the ground, crying and screaming, desperately showing their loyalty to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong ignored their shouts and continued: "I'm not a person who doesn't miss the old love, but you have made too many mistakes, you have poisoned a queen and a queen mother one after another, and let those ministers get the evidence, how can I protect you?!" ”
As soon as Liu Hong's words were finished, these eunuchs all sat on the ground. They think they're finished, and no matter which emperor does this kind of thing, he won't let them go. And Liu Hong called them over this time, that is, for the sake of their previous relationship, asked their last words, and helped them fulfill their last wishes.
Liu Hong looked at the eunuchs with a dead will on their faces, and felt that the matter was almost over, so he said: "Okay, don't stay on the ground, you are also my people, I will never allow others to deal with you, put your heart in your stomach." ”
When these eunuchs suddenly heard that there was no need to die, they all kept kowtowing and thanking the emperor.
"But what you have done is too big, and it will never be justified if you don't give an explanation to those ministers. Therefore, I plan to let you all go out of the palace, which can be regarded as avoiding the limelight. ”
Those eunuchs were all dumbfounded by Liu Hong's disposition. These eunuchs exist to serve the emperor, so what's the matter with them leaving the palace.
The eunuchs are dumbfounded, it doesn't matter about Liu Hong, he just gives these eunuchs a notice. There is so much nonsense in front of me, just to make these eunuchs accept their fate and stop making other moths. Otherwise, those ministers will never let you go.
Of course, it is impossible for Liu Hong to let these eunuchs fend for themselves. After all, these eunuchs are still very good to Liu Hong. Desperately slapping him all day long, changing flowers to tease him, Liu Hong's heart is also fleshy, and it is impossible not to be moved.
However, they are really not suitable to stay in the palace, the old ones have no skills, Liu Hong let them go to his farm as the manager, which can be regarded as a pension.
As for saying that eunuchs are greedy for money, this can be prevented. Some of Liu Hong are account-checkers, and he checks the accounts regularly, not afraid of their corruption.
This aspect has to be eliminated by the system, and even the public servants of the people are allowed to be properly corrupt, and it is unrealistic for you to expect eunuchs to be as honest as water. Therefore, it is better to establish a system and eliminate it from the source.
The rest of the little eunuchs were divided into two parts. If you have skills and can play, Liu Hong divided them into a team, led by Bi Lan, and lived in Liu Hong's mansion in the capital, so that she could be on call and play with Liu Hong.
For the rest, Liu Hong also arranged for them to set up a patent inspection department. Let them go around the world in order to find out those who have misappropriated patents and punish them.
