One day, Luoyang urgently needed a person who was familiar with "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Zuo Chuan", "Spring and Autumn" and "Gu Liang Biography" to be a councilor, but who in the imperial capital could have this talent? If you want to be transferred from another place, the price of a councillor official is 6,000 yuan, and no one wants to pay to be such an official without oil and water! Just when Emperor Ling was distressed about this, someone thought of Cao Cao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Cao lived a hermit-like life in his hometown, reading and practicing martial arts every day, writing poems and songs, receiving contacts, and gaining some fame in the clear stream. In recent days, Cao Cao also made annotations on Sun Wu's Art of War according to his own understanding, and compiled it into a revised book called "Thirteen Articles on the Art of War".

When Emperor Ling's edict arrived, Cao Cao was summoned back to Beijing to be a councilor, and the official price could only be paid half.

Cao Cao accepted the edict, groaned slightly, did not speak, packed his bags with a flat expression, and took office. In this secluded life, Cao Cao had a clear understanding of the world, saw the life of the people above the loess, and strengthened his persistence.

With his ideals and determination, Cao Cao once again set foot on the land of Luoyang, who knew that as soon as he took office, a big event happened.

When Dasi Nong Zhang Huan entered the palace, Emperor Ling was enjoying the song and dance in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and hundreds of beauties on the field were half-disarmed, revealing white jade-like skin, interspersed with seats.

Emperor Ling sat in the right position, four or five beauties served on the side, pinched shoulders and pounded legs, and sent food and wine. Two rows of seats originally reserved for hundreds of officials sat more than ten eunuchs, from the first seat were Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Song Dian and other twelve powerful eunuch leaders, here accompanied the Emperor Ling to drink and feast, although everyone has the same official position, but it can be vaguely seen that everyone is sitting in the first seat of a middle-aged man with a gloomy face as the leader, this person is Zhang Rang.

Zhang Huan originally came in anger, and when he entered the hall and saw such a desolate scene, his face suddenly turned red and white.

Emperor Ling saw someone enter in the midst of the flowers, looked at it, and said lazily: "What happened to Zhang Qing's family?"

Zhang Huan immediately knelt down, slammed his head on the ground, straightened up, blood was already all over his face, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty!" The minister confesses to His Majesty! ”

The Spirit Emperor pouted with an impatient expression and said, "What crime?" I thought to myself, these stupid men, accuse and accuse, as long as you don't let me lose money, I don't care about you for any crime, hurry up and send me away don't miss me to play.

Zhang Rang glanced at Zhang Huan quietly, exchanged glances with the eunuchs, and already had a plan in his heart.

I only heard Zhang Huan continue: "Eight years ago, when the party was in charge, the minister was ordered to lead the troops to fight for the thief, and afterwards I learned that the person who was asked for was actually the pillar of the country like General Chen Tuogu Dou, but the hateful minister was deceived by the traitor Cao Jie, brutalized the loyal and good, and made a big mistake, and it is not a pity for the ministers to die, but the two ministers and the thousands of scholars who were implicated at that time were innocent, and today the sentence of everyone has expired, I implore Your Majesty to return to Dou Wu, Chen Fan and the two ministers to return to the dynasty and preside over the overall situation!"

"Exactly! Aiqing, leave quickly! ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang suddenly got up and came to Emperor Ling, knelt on the ground and howled loudly, "Your Majesty, no! Never! General Dou Wu has always been brutal, and it will be bloody to return to the dynasty after suffering, and Dou Wu did lead his troops to attack the palace gate back then, and there is no doubt that he will be in trouble, how can he return to the court as an official with a guilty body! ”

A group of eunuchs left their seats and knelt down, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty think twice!"

The Spirit Emperor frowned for a while, and made things so troublesome again.

"Just as my father said."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Huan hurriedly spoke when he heard this.

Zhang Rang immediately grabbed the white: "Your Majesty! The old slave thought that Zhang Huan was a thief and asked for his life, so please detain Zhang Huan like a prison and summon him after the investigation is clear. ”

This Zhang Huan is already a dead man, the eunuchs sneered in their hearts, how many people who have been against the eunuchs over the years have gone out in this way, no matter who goes to prison, Emperor Ling will forget it in a few days, at that time, his life and death are not up to those of them who are in charge of the prison, let you live and let you die, as for the crime, it is even easier, bending into a trick or dying without proof according to the mood.

The Spirit Emperor still said casually in a lazy tone: "Well, that's it, come on!"

"Slow!" Zhang Huan sneered and looked around and shouted, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, please listen to another major sin of Huan." As a minister of the Han Dynasty, the minister should assist the saint, and make great efforts to make the people of the Central Plains live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"And yet! Now the eunuchs are making the dynasty, the party is constantly restricted, and the villains are rampant and corrupting the dynasty just to loot money for the saint to have fun! ”

"However, the criminal minister Zhang Huan, as a military general, can't eradicate the villain when he sees it! As a courtier, the court is chaotic and can't be corrected! As a scholar, there is no righteousness in the world! ”

"Such a great crime, why don't you die today!"

After finishing speaking, he crashed into the stairs and died, and the words of generosity still lingered in people's ears.

When the singing and dancing beauty saw someone die in the hall, she screamed and made a mess.

"Humph!" The Spirit Emperor was not interested in having fun, and walked away.

Zhang Rang and the others also left the scene with cold faces.

When Cao Cao heard the news of Zhang Huan's death, he took the case, drew his sword and was about to rush out of the room, but fortunately, everyone around him stopped him, so there would be no accident. Cao Cao was full of anger and wrote a book, describing that Dou Wu and others were framed for the integrity of officials, causing the traitors to be full of righteousness, indignant words, and heartbroken.

The news of Zhang Huan's death soon spread throughout the capital, and thousands of scholars responded angrily and shouted to punish the traitors and punish the eunuchs.

The resentment that had been pent up for a long time formed a rising wave, and the washing of the tide not only hit the fate of the eunuchs, but also made the majesty of the Han Dynasty stormy.

Just when the cries of the Qingliu scholars were getting louder and louder, Situ Yang Ci came to the Yuan family's mansion.

Yuan Kui was lying on the chaise longue in the middle of the court, rocking the pu fan leisurely, and there was a delicate teapot on the small table beside him, Yang Ci respectfully stood in the position of the attendant and asked softly: "Master Yuan, many people in the clear stream have gone to advise Your Majesty......

Yuan Kui waved his hand, and Yang Ci's voice stopped abruptly.

Yang Ci quietly waited for Yuan Kui to speak, Yuan Kui slowly stretched out his hand to hold the teapot on the side, felt that the temperature was just right, picked it up and took a sip on the side of his mouth, and then put it back steadily.

After doing everything, Yuan Kui opened his mouth leisurely.

"Qingliu Shizi is not afraid of death, and he speaks up righteously, in order to return the world to a bright future."

"Don't you know what the purpose of my family is?"

"The family doesn't need this world."

"In the three hundred years of the Han Dynasty, what kind of changes have not happened? What kind of troubled times did not appear? ”

"But so what? We are waiting for the family to stand tall! ”

"Let them go, ask for something different, give something different. If the situation is turbulent, the loss will be lost, and there is no need to force it. ”

"The Yang family understands." Yang Ci bowed and left.

A few days later, the eunuchs and others saw that Dou Wu, Chen Fan and other fame were still there, and refused to give up, so they slandered Emperor Ling, framing the party members for "wanting to seek social peace" and intending to rebel. Emperor Ling didn't say much, but handed over the right to dispose of it to Zhang Rang and ignored it. So Zhang Rang issued an edict in the name of Emperor Ling, set up a big prison, and tracked down the scholars.

More than 100 people, including Li Ying, Du Mi, Zhai Chao, Liu Ru, Xun Yi, Fan Fan, and Yu Fang, were imprisoned and executed. Six or seven hundred scholars were arrested, killed, exiled, and imprisoned in various places, and everyone in the world was in danger.

It is the second disaster of the party.

Cao Cao, who had written to no avail, watched his repeated remarks sink into the sea, without a trace of response, he felt the reason, and couldn't help but sigh disheartenedly: "The eunuch makes the court? Traitors in charge? Everyone in the world is wrong, Emperor Ling himself doesn't want to pay attention to the common people in the world, the people live and die, what if you eradicate the traitors? What if the eunuch dies? ”

"This court is already hopeless......

It seems that in order to confirm Cao Cao's words, all kinds of disasters occurred in the following years, and an atmosphere of imminent collapse of the edifice permeated the Central Plains.

One night, the Emperor's Wende Palace. The wind suddenly rose in the corner of the temple, and I saw a big green snake flying down from the beam and resting on the chair. Emperor Ling fell to the ground in shock, and the guards hurriedly entered the palace to rescue the driver, but when everyone arrived with swords, the snake was gone. Suddenly, there was a strong wind, thunderstorms, and hail, destroying countless houses in the imperial capital.

In the next year, the Luoyang earthquake; The sea in the land of Qilu overflowed, and the coastal residents were swept into the sea by the waves.

The hen turns into a male, the black air rushes to the temple, and the mountain bank collapses. Famine and cannibalism spread far to Liangzhou. There was a famine in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and people died of starvation all over the mountains. Yuzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, the world has changed its face almost instantly, and the lives of tens of millions of people are only on the horizon.
