Chapter 569
If Emperor Han Huan wants to deal with Liang Ji, then he must need to find a suitable teammate, after all, Emperor Han Huan at that time can be said to be Liang Ji's puppet, and he has no rights at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Therefore, Emperor Han Huan decided to find a teammate who was willing to help him, and that was the eunuch force.
For a long time, the royal power was either controlled by the forces of foreign relatives or by the forces of eunuchs, so Emperor Huan of Han definitely needed the help of the eunuch forces.
However, when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty chose his teammates, on the issue of the life and death of the Liang family, Liang Ji and the Empress Dowager Liang were opposed and resisted by the officials and scholars represented by Li Gu and Du Qiao.
Li Gu is the son of the former Situ Li He, and Li Gu's appearance is very peculiar, the skull protrudes like a tripod foot, goes up into the hairline and hides, and there are turtle inscriptions on the foot board, and Li Gu is studious when he is young, often changes his name, and walks thousands of miles to find a teacher, especially he spent more than ten years learning the "Five Classics", so Li Gu not only reads ancient and modern books, but also knows the art of wind angle, star calculation, "River Map", and Weiwei.
Every time Li Gu went to Taixue, he would secretly go to the public mansion to visit his parents, but he didn't want the students who studied together to know that he was Li He's son, and most of the people with lofty ideals from all over the world envied his demeanor and came to learn from him, so at that time, the people in Luoyang, the capital teacher, praised Li Gu and said: "This is the second Li Gong again." ”
So after that, Sili Xiaowei and Yizhou Assassin Shidu ordered Hanzhong Taishou to promote Li Gu as filial piety, and Sikong also recruited him as Peng's subordinate, but Li Gu did not go to take office.
On the eighth day of June in 133 A.D., the Xuande Pavilion in Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, had a ground crack, 85 zhang long. So Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty summoned the honest and simple people recommended by the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors at that time (Li Gu was recommended by Jia Jian, the commander of the guard), asked them to publish countermeasures, and especially asked them about the shortcomings of the contemporary era and how to govern.
Li Gu is also an upright person, in the answer impeached the nurse and eunuch who were favored by Emperor Shun of Han at that time, as a result, Emperor Shun of Han looked at everyone's countermeasures, took Li Gu as the first place, and immediately ordered the nurse Song E to move out of the palace and return to her own private house, and let all the servants kowtow to the emperor and ask for forgiveness, and the court was solemn, so after that, Emperor Shun of Han appointed Li Gu as the speaker.
However, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty's nurse Song E and the eunuchs were very hated Li Gu, so they forged an anonymous black letter and fabricated a crime to slander Li Gu, which led to Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty ordering the investigation of Li Gu, and the edict was issued directly without going through Shangshutai, Huang Shang and others asked for the rescue of Liang Shang (Liang Ji his father), and the Shang scholar shot Huang Qiong to rescue, and re-identified the truth, Li Gu was released after a long time, and was transferred from the imperial court to serve as the commander of Guanghan County, as a result, Li Gu arrived at Baishui Pass, and then removed the seal ribbon and returned to his hometown Hanzhong, Shut the door and don't socialize with people.
In 135 AD, Liang Shang was appointed as a general, and after taking office, he hired Li Gu as his own Zhonglang, when Liang Shang was an auxiliary government as a relative, but he was soft, so he was not able to rectify the law and discipline, Li Gu wanted Liang Shang to rectify the weathering first, and resigned from the position of Gao Man, so he wrote to Liang Shang, but Liang Shang did not listen.
In 136 A.D., the then Taiwei Wang Gong hated the eunuch dictatorship, and wrote a letter to state their crimes, as a result, the Huangmen attendants in the palace instructed the doormen, falsely accusing Wang Gong of guilt to the imperial court, and Emperor Shun of Han ordered Wang Gong to explain the true situation in person as soon as possible, so Li Gu wrote to Liang Shang to ask him to come to the rescue, and Liang Shang immediately made a statement to Emperor Shun, and the matter was settled, which shows that the relationship between Li Gu and Liang Ji's father is still very good.
In 138 A.D., Shi Jiachang and the state and county officials jointly crusaded against the rebellious Xianglin County barbarian leader Qu Lian, but did not win, but was besieged by Ou Lian, after more than a year, reinforcements and grain and grass could not be helped, so Emperor Han Shun summoned the court hundred officials and the four provinces (both the general, Taiwei, Situ, Sikong) of the Peng family to inquire about countermeasures, everyone advocated sending generals, levy Jing, Yang, Yan, Yu and other four states of 40,000 troops to Jiaozhi reinforcements.
As a result, Li Gu first refuted with seven reasons:
First, if Jingzhou and Yangzhou were peaceful, they could be soldiers from the two states, but now the thieves of the two states are united like rocks and refuse to separate; The barbarian rebellion in Wuling County and Nanjun has not yet been settled, and the soldiers of Changsha County and Guiyang County have been requisitioned many times, and if they are requisitioned again and harass the people, new chaos will inevitably occur.
Second, the people of Yanzhou and Yuzhou were suddenly conscripted into the army and went on an expedition thousands of miles away with no return date, and the persecution and urging of the edict were as urgent as sparks, which inevitably led to new rebellions and flights.
Third, in the southern states, the soil and water are humid, the climate is hot, and the miasma is so bad that four or five out of ten people die.
Fourth, after a long journey and a march of thousands of miles, the soldiers were tired, and by the time the army reached Lingnan, the soldiers had no combat ability.
Fifth, according to the prescribed normal speed, the march is 30 li a day, and it is more than 9,000 li away from Rinan County, and it takes 300 miles to reach it, and according to the daily ration of 5 liters per person, it needs 600,000 yuan of rice, not including the rations of generals and military officials and the fodder of donkeys and horses.
Sixth, where the army is fighting, there must be many dead people, and even if it cannot resist the enemy's attack, reinforcements will be recruited again, which is like digging up the henchmen to replenish the limbs.
Seventh, Jiuzhen and Rinan, the two counties are only a thousand miles apart, and it is unbearable to levy the local officials, not to mention the soldiers of the four states,
Later, Li Gu compared Yin Qi, the Zhonglang general who had fought against the Yizhou rebellion, with Zhang Qiao, the assassin of Yizhou (one failed and was recalled, and the other put down the rebellion within a month), thinking that it was not beneficial for the imperial court to send generals, and the local officials of the prefecture and county were competent enough, so Li Gu suggested that a person who was brave and strategic, benevolent and competent as a general should be re-selected to serve as the governor of the state and the county, stationed in Jiaozhi County, and temporarily abandon the difficult Rinan County, and relocate the officials and people to Jiaozhi County, and wait for the rebellion to be quelled, and then order to return, At the same time, you can also recruit and buy barbarians, let them attack and kill each other, if there is someone who can separate the enemy and kill the barbarian leader, the court promised to be a marquis, give food and food, and finally Li Gu recommended Zhu Liang and Zhang Qiao to go to quell the rebellion.
As a result, the four governments completely agreed with Li Gu's opinion, and Emperor Shun of Han appointed Zhu Liang as the Jiuzhen Taishou and Zhang Qiao as the Jiaozhi Thorn History, and the two really pacified the rebellion, and peace was restored outside Wuling.
To Yonghe (AD 136 - 141) years, Jingzhou thieves arose, for a long time can not be pacified, the imperial court for Yonghe six years appointed Li Gu as the Jingzhou Assassin History, Li Gu in the post, then sent officials to visit the territory, pardon the previous sins of the robbers, and they started from scratch, by the way, the traitor leader Xia Mi's party more than 600 people, let them go back to recruit each other, open a demonstration law, half a year, all the thieves in Jingzhou surrendered, the state has been peaceful since then.
However, at this time, Liang Shang had died, and Liang Ji was on the throne, so he played the corrupt deeds of Nanyang Taishou Gao Ci and others on Li Gu, and was afraid of being punished after Gao Ci and others knew about it, so they jointly bribed the general Liang Ji at that time with heavy money, so Liang Ji let Li Gu transfer to Taishan Taishou, at this time Taishan thieves gathered for many years, and there were only 1,000 county soldiers, and they could not be subdued. Therefore, after Li Gu arrived, all the county soldiers were sent back to farm, only more than 100 people who were selected to remain in the fighting force, and the thieves were lured to surrender with a letter of grace, but in less than a year, the thieves were scattered, so in Du Qiao and other eight envoys to investigate the world, Du Qiao went to Yanzhou and then showed Li Gu's political achievements as the first in the world, Li Gu was promoted to be a master craftsman, first recommended Huang Qiong, Zhou Ju and others, and recommended Yang Lun, Yin Cun, Wang Yun, He Lin, Fang Zhi and others, so Emperor Han Shun issued an edict to summon Yang Lun, Yang Hou and others, and promoted Huang Qiong and Zhou Ju, Li Gu was appointed as the Grand Si Nong.
Before, Du Qiao and other eight envoys investigated the world, impeached many unjudicial officials, most of whom were relatives of the eunuchs' guests, so the eunuchs often interceded for them, and the court told them not to pursue it, but in the old three government election history, Guanglu Department tried Shang Shulang, at this time they all relied on the relationship to send a special test, no longer the test, so Li Gu and the court lieutenant Wu Xiong on the sparse, thinking that the people reported by the eight envoys should be punished as soon as possible, and the election agency can be let the relevant departments do it, as a result, Emperor Han Shun was moved by their words, so he dismissed the prisoners reported by the eight envoys, Emperor Shun of Han also adopted Li Gu's opinion and issued an edict to impeach officials below the Taishou and county orders, and those who were wrong and unhelpful to the people were removed from their official positions; Those who are guilty of felony of adultery shall be punished with imprisonment.
In 144 AD, Emperor Shun of Han died, and the crown prince Liu Bing ascended the throne (that is, Emperor Chong of Han), and the empress dowager Liang Yan listened to the government, and appointed Li Gu as the chief lieutenant, and the prince Zhao Jun and the general Liang Ji participated in the Shangshu affairs.
After the death of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Liang Yan thought that the thieves in Yangzhou and Xuzhou were too powerful, so she was afraid that the news would cause chaos in the world, so she asked Li Gu and others to discuss, wanting to wait until the princes and princes summoned by the edict arrived in Qi before mourning.
However, Li Gu believes that "although the emperor is young, he is still the father of the world." Today's collapse and people and gods are moved, how can there be courtiers who are anti-communist and hidden? In ancient times, Qin Shi Huang died in the sand dunes, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao concealed it and did not mourn, and finally killed Fusu and even lost the country. Recently, the Marquis of Beixiang (Liu Yi) passed away, and the brothers of Queen Yan and Jiang Jing and others also covered up the secret together, and there was a murder by Sun Cheng. This is a taboo in the world, and it must not be done. ”
So, Empress Dowager Liang decided to follow Li Gu's advice and mourn overnight.
After the death of Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Zhen of the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Liang Yan handed over the power of the court to the three dukes and other auxiliary ministers because of the unfortunate things, and Li Gu's suggestions, Liang Yan mostly adopted, all the eunuchs who did evil were excluded and repatriated, and the people of the world expected political peace, but Liang Ji hated it, after all, Li Gu robbed his rights.
Most of the officials appointed by Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty were not in the usual order, so the official positions were chaotic, so when Li Gu was in power, there were more than 100 officials who were allowed to be dismissed. This group of dismissed officials, both resentful of Li Gu, but also catered to Liang Ji's intentions, so they jointly wrote an anonymous letter to falsely accuse Li Gu, after the chapter was presented, Liang Ji met with the Empress Dowager Liang Yan, and asked to hand over the chapter to the relevant officials for investigation, but the Empress Dowager Liang Yan did not listen, so Liang Ji was even more resentful of Li Gu.
In the matter of supporting Emperor Huan of Han, Liang Ji first persuaded Liang Yan, first dismissed Li Gu, and finally appointed Liu Zhi as emperor (that is, Emperor Huan of Han), and together with the eunuchs Tang Heng and Zuo Yi, he framed Emperor Huan of Han and said: "When Your Majesty was about to ascend the throne before, Du Qiao and Li Gu objected, thinking that you were not qualified to serve the sacrifices of the temple of the Han Dynasty. ”
At this time, Emperor Han Huan knew that he had found two more suitable teammates, so he showed resentment towards Du Qiao and Li Gu on the surface.
In the first year of Jianhe, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was first established, Liu Wen, a native of Ganling, was not convinced, and joined forces with Liu Kun of Nanjun to "establish" Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, and Li Gu and Du Qiao originally praised the establishment of Emperor Liu Garlic, but the two of them did not participate in this political activity, but the scheming Liang Ji skillfully linked this matter with Li Gu and Du Qiao, which is of course a very vicious one, because Liang Ji believes that on the issue of establishing the emperor, Emperor Han Huan has long buried personal grievances against Li and Du, and now they are the conspirators of Liu Wen and Liu Kun. How can it be tolerated by the emperor!
So Huh, Li and Du were arrested and imprisoned, but Liang Ji's framing of Li and Du aroused social injustice, Li Gu's student Bohai Wang Tune, wearing a wooden flail to write a book, and Hanoi Zhao Cheng and dozens of other people also went to the palace gate to petition, so the Empress Dowager Liang was afraid that things would get bigger, and was forced to release Li Gu from prison, so the Jingshi people learned that they were overjoyed, and the streets and alleys cheered long live, and as a result, the more Liang Ji persecuted Li Gu, the higher Li Gu's prestige, and the higher Li Gu's prestige, the more Liang Ji was afraid of Li Gu.
When Liang Ji learned that the people of Luoyang were cheering for Li Gu to be released from prison, he was terrified, so he finally made up his mind to kill Li Gu and Du Qiao, but what was the crime of executing Li Gu? It's not a rehash of the old thing, and he continues to falsely accuse him of plotting with Liu Wen to establish Liu Garlic.
Situ Hu Guang and Sikong Zhao Jie, who originally wrote with Li Gu to suggest that Liu Garlic be the emperor, when Li Gu and Liang Ji fought to the end, they retreated, so the two of them were divided into Anle Township Marquis and Kitchen Pavilion Marquis, and when Li Gu was in prison, he also wrote to Hu Guang and Zhao Jie, saying that you enjoy the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty, but you don't care about the fall of the dynasty, aren't you afraid of history's punishment for you?!
This kind of person is naturally despised, so there was a proverb in Luoyang, the capital at that time: "If you ignore everything, there is Hu Gong in the middle of the world."
There is also a famous scholar Ma Rong, his protégé is all over the world, many celebrities and nobles come from his disciples, Ma Rong himself is also very conceited, he thinks that he annotates the scriptures, Jia Kui is "fine but not Bo", Zheng Zhong is "Bo but not fine", "both fine and Bo", only he Ma Rong.
As a result, Ma Rong was also proud of his talents at first, and collided with Liang Ji and other relatives, but after suffering a few times, he softened and executed Li Gu, which Liang Ji asked him to write, and at the same time, he also wrote "Ode to the West" for Liang Ji to pat the horse, which shows that among the scribes, there are also soft bones.
However, just when Liang Ji was about to execute Li Gu and Du Qiao, Emperor Han Huan secretly attacked.
