Chapter 124 The Ten Standing Servants Messed Up the Palace Again, and the Emperor Belittled Loyalty

It is said that Liu Chao, who has no power, no power and no connections, angered the red eunuch in front of the emperor, and the minister of the court and the central government took the opportunity to write a book to participate in the ten permanent servants. www.biquge.info In this way, the Ten Standing Servants felt the crisis.

One evening in March of the second year of Kaiping, a tall and magnificent mansion in Luoyang City. At the time of the lamp, more than ten cars came one after another, and dignitaries and nobles wearing gorgeous and luxurious clothes entered the mansion one after another.

In the back hall of the house, the candles are bright, and there is a person sitting on the middle seat, with a head crossed, a graceful face, white and beardless, and wearing a permanent waiter's costume. Who? The head of the ten permanent servants, the middle permanent servant Zhang Rang.

Let's look at those people: Chang'an Township Hou Cao Jie, Zhong Chang Shi Zhao Zhong, Chang Shi Feng Xu, Duan Qi, Hou Lan, Fu Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Xun, Guo Sheng.

When Zhang Rang saw that everyone had arrived, he asked: "Now the ministers of the DPRK and China have begun to use the Yellow Turban Rebellion to slander us again. I don't know if you have a solution? ”

"Let Gong gather everyone to come this time, and he must have a certain idea. It's better to say it, everyone refer to it. Chang'an Hou Cao Jie said.

"Yes! Let the public, don't test us. If you have any good ideas, just say them, and we are all good staff officers! The others also said nonsense.

"In that case, then I'll say it." Zhang Rang looked at everyone and said, "Now the Holy One still trusts me and others. Then we will use this opportunity to gain more power from the Holy One. ”

"According to the will of the prince, we will ask the Holy Lord for real power?" Cao Jie asked.

"Not bad. Like now, I am the only one on the emperor's side in the early dynasty, and I am single and thin. If it weren't for the Holy Lord's favor on me, wouldn't you and me have been in a different place long ago? Zhang Rang said.

"It seems so doable." Feng Xu interjected, "But this matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, it is better for me to enter the palace tonight." What do you think? ”

"But I'll just go directly to the Holy Lord, but it won't work!" Or is Cao Jie, the old guy, thoughtful, and asked Zhang Rang, "I don't know if Rang Gong is thoughtful?" ’”

"I've thought about it, but I still need to make it clearer now." Zhang Rang stood up, looked at Cao Jie and the other nine people and said, "Now the post of General of the Weiwei Mansion is still vacant, and the miscellaneous family wants to seek this position for Zhao Zhong." I wonder what your opinion is? ”

"But let the public arrange." None of them had an opinion.

Zhang Rang saw that everyone was like this, so he said: "Then I'll enter the palace now." ”

After that, Zhang Rang and the others prepared their cars, and they headed towards the palace. After all, this is a matter of life, and there is no room for procrastination.

Emperor Ling of Han was drinking with Empress He in Empress He's palace, and when he saw Shichang coming in, he was full of surprise, so he asked, "Didn't I allow you to wait today to accompany me in the palace?" ”

Zhang Rang and others shouted long live, and they couldn't kneel there.

"Father, why can't you kneel here? But what is there to ask for? Emperor Han Ling saw that Zhang Rang and the others were kneeling there, and asked suspiciously.

"Long live Qizuo, I want to serve Zhao Zhong also participated in the Youzhou Rebellion during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he can be regarded as a meritorious minister. However, this is for the sake of the saint's loyalty, and he has not reported it. Originally, we didn't want to seek this position, but this time, the ministers wrote to falsely distinguish between right and wrong, and falsely accused us, which almost caused me to die. Now there is still a shortage of chariot cavalry generals in the Weiwei Mansion, so we want to seek this position from Banzai. I wonder if Your Majesty can reward your ministers, etc.? Zhang Rang lay on the ground and said with a crying voice. (Damn, this Zhang Rang is really shameless, Zhao Zhong also participated in the pacification of Youzhou?!) If Liu Qian is here, I'm afraid he will be angry to death, it's really shameless. He's going to die at that moment, and he still has time to fight! But Liu Qian sent him to Peking and gave him an excuse! Awesome, really awesome! ）

Emperor Han Ling saw Zhang Rang kneeling there crying, but he was distressed, hurriedly ran over, helped Zhang Rang up, and helped Zhang Rang wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands. (I'm afraid that Emperor Han Ling and Zhang Rang have the same direction ^_^, anyway, it is Emperor Han Ling who has four words to Zhang Rang, "pet boundless")

"Father, what a big deal I think!" Emperor Ling of Han said with a smile, "Spread my oracle, canonize Zhao Zhong as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and let my father and others be made marquis." ’”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang and the others were really smiling. Emperor Ling of Han also ordered the addition of seats, and asked the ten permanent attendants to accompany him to drink and have fun until the night after.

Since then, almost all the power in the DPRK and China has fallen into the hands of the Ten Standing Attendants. In the court, if there is a disagreement on what they say, they will be killed without knowing it in the next two days. Cao Jie and Zhang Rang even sent soldiers to Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to ask for brocade, gold and silver, and jewelry. Cao Cao, especially his uncle Cao Jie, is in the Ten Standing Servants, although he and Zhang Rang do not agree, but they are still the same to the outside world. It saved Cao Cao a lot of things and property. And the Yuan Shao brothers are famous families, and some wealth is not put in their eyes at all. Therefore, the officials of the two are doing a good job.

However, the fate of the two old generals, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, can be miserable!

One day, Hou Lan was instructed by Zhang Rang to feast Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

During the banquet, Hou Lan told the two old generals the reason for the banquet.

"This time to pacify the Yellow Turban thieves, the saint did not seal the two generals. I wonder if the two generals can complain? Hou Ran suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"Ahh This ......" The two of them thought that he would suddenly ask this question, and they didn't know how to answer it in a hurry.

"Haha! The two generals don't care. It just occurred to me that I asked. Actually, I invited the two generals to come and drink because I gave them a merit! Seeing this, Hou Lan said with a smile.

"Thanks to my father-in-law, I don't know what merit it is?" Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other and asked.

"This doesn't let Gongda's birthday come, and I'll let Gonggong do this again. The two of them must have gained a lot when they returned from the battlefield. As long as you can come up with one or two, and then let the prince give you two a few good words in front of the saint, why worry that you will not be promoted and make a fortune? The Hou Lan stared at the two of them and said.

Hearing this, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's faces were red for a while, white for a while, and they changed uncertainly, and they sat there for a long time without speaking.

Seeing this, Hou Lan said sharply: "Do you two want to swallow what you have gained alone?" ”

"Hey! My father-in-law didn't know, I was still short of military rations at that time, where was there any loot?! Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun explained in every possible way. But Hou Lan was willing to listen, and threw his sleeves away in a hurry.

Returning to Zhang Rang's mansion, he told Zhang Rang about the matter. On this day, Zhang asked the court to participate in the book, and the two of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took advantage of the chaos to plunder the people's property, embezzle the spoils of war, and deduct the soldiers' food and salary. When Emperor Ling of Han heard this, he was furious, cut the military power of the two of them, and demoted them to commoners.
