readx; Xiaochan pointed to the scroll in her hand and said: "Confucianism is only useful in peaceful and prosperous times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Girl, how did you come to such a conclusion?"

"Because...... The Han dynasty is in decline and cannot be revived. ”

"Is the Han family in decline...... Yang Lin muttered in a low voice, and suddenly laughed, "Only children dare to say that." ”

"Children understand the truth, but everyone refuses to admit it."

"Are you talking about me?" Yang Lin looked at Xiaochan's eyes.

Xiaochan's gaze froze, and then turned her face sideways, avoiding Yang Lin's gaze.

"You know that too"

"No, I don't know." Yang Lin said.

"I'm leaving, I wish you a good dream."

Xiaochan Shi Shiran made a salute, then put down the scroll and walked out of the study.

Yang Lin opened the book "Spring and Autumn", and there were traces of his previous annotations on it.

Confucian classics, he hadn't read them for a long time.

There was a time when he felt that the teachings of the saints were not enough to govern a country.

Because he has a contradiction in his heart:

Confucianism is regarded as a good policy for governing the country, and Confucius is admired by the world, so why did Qin Shi Huang, who burned books and pit Confucianism, won the world instead?

Why?

――――

Two months after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the country of the Han family was shaken again.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, on May 15, Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne and changed the year name to the first year of Guangxi.

Because the young emperor was young, all political affairs depended on the empress of the Linzhao dynasty and the uncle general He Jin, who held the military power.

After He Jin killed Jian Shuo, he further wanted to kill all the eunuchs.

Then, on that day, the Ten Servants finally began their counterattack.

On that day, Yang Lin went to the Marquis of Linjin Mansion as a guest.

Since the death of Emperor Ling, Yang Biao has suffered a serious illness. He has followed Emperor Ling for more than ten years, and has the deepest relationship with Emperor Ling, and now that Emperor Ling has passed away, he, an old minister of the former dynasty, has been sick at home.

"He's an old antique, and he can't get used to He Jin's actions, so he's too lazy to go to court."

Yang Xue pursed her lips while wrapping dumplings and said lightly.

Yang Lin didn't say anything, he sniffed the dumpling filling, dipped a little with his finger and put it in his mouth.

Yang Xue glanced at him angrily, and said, "Stinky habits." ”

"Hah, it tastes good." Yang Lin praised it, then wiped her hands and helped pinch the dumplings.

Yang Lin said: "He Jin is also a smart person, he coerces the Son of Heaven, who dares not to listen to him." ”

"However, he used the Son of Heaven as a tool to eradicate dissidents, and he was clearly a traitor."

"The superior doesn't want to strengthen his own power, it's just He Jin's means, it's a little too radical."

"What do you mean?"

"The ten permanent servants are not idle people, He Jin is aggressive, they will take action sooner or later."

"You mean the Ten Standing Attendants will jump off the wall in a hurry?"

Yang Lin nodded and said, "Yes, He Jin is not a fool, he must understand that you can't be in a hurry to eradicate the Ten Standing Attendants." So since Jian Shuo's death, he has not made a move against the Ten Standing Attendants. ”

Yang Xue looked at him puzzled: "But recently, He Jin's methods are forcing the Ten Permanent Servants to a dead end." ”

"Because someone changed his mind. This person wished that He Jin would break with the Ten Permanent Servants, and then wait for the opportunity created by the chaos. This is the kind of person who causes chaos in the world. ”

"Who could this man be?"

Yang Lin shrugged: "How do I know, but eighty percent are from other places." ”

"How?"

"In Luoyang City, who still has the power to mix in the battle between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants?"

Yang Xue smiled, and suddenly stretched out her hand and put the flour on Yang Lin's nose.

So, a small white spot was left on his nose.

"What do you do?" Yang Lin looked at her sister resentfully.

"You're only twenty years old, how can you talk like an old man?"

"Ha, our surname is Yang, and we have always thought longer than others."

Yang Xue suddenly looked at him with a playful expression.

"Don't mention that. I heard that you recently adopted an orphan in your house? ”

Yang Lin's smile froze: "How do you know?" ”

"I went to your house a few days ago, and I had a relationship."

"What do you think?"

"It's good-looking, and honestly it's good-looking, which makes me a little jealous. This child is very good as the daughter-in-law of the Yang family. ”

Yang Lin's old face turned red and retorted: "I am a righteous gentleman, how can I covet her appearance." ”

Yang Xue suddenly looked at Yang Lin with disdain.

"You're duplicitous and a hypocrite."

"I am above board, a true and good man."

The two were arguing, and the water was already boiling on the stove.

"Let's make dumplings." Yang Lin said.

"Spring is coming, and this is probably the last dumpling of the year." When Yang Xue said this, she suddenly frowned and said, "I have discussed it with your brother-in-law, and when the spring is established, we will move to Chang'an." ”

"Why?"

"Since he is determined to stay away from officialdom, staying in Luoyang will only increase the number of rights and wrongs."

Speaking of this, Yang Xue's tone was a little worried: "I'm just afraid that those radicals won't let him go." ”

"Don't worry." Yang Lin patted his chest and said, "With me, no one can touch you." ”

Yang Xue smiled warmly: "Thank you." ”

――――

That night, Yang Lin was woken up by the sound of chaos in her deep sleep.

He got out of bed, got dressed, and suddenly found that there were constant shouts of killing outside.

A violent knock on the door woke Yang Lin up from surprise.

Yang Lin opened the door, and Sima Lang came in and bumped into him.

"Boda, what's going on outside?"

Sima Lang didn't care about tidying up his clothes, and hurriedly said, "He Jin is dead!" ”

"When?" Yang Lin was shocked.

"Half an hour ago, He Jin led people into the palace to arrest the ten permanent attendants, and he didn't want the ten permanent attendants to be prepared and set up an ambush. He Jin was hacked to death in the palace by a chaotic sword! ”

Yang Lin's breath stagnated, "Luoyang is over." ”

"We've got to go." Sima Lang looked outside the door and said, "There is a scuffle on both sides, the palace is in chaos, let's stay here, sooner or later we will be affected." ”

"Where are we going?" Yang Lin asked rhetorically.

Sima Lang was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

"The capital of the Han family is here, and the son of heaven of the Han family is also here, where else can we go?"

"All the officials are avoiding it, it's too dangerous to stay here."

"Stay, stay for the sake of the Son of Heaven, I vouch for it, this chaos will end soon."

"What did you say?" Sima Lang looked at him in surprise.

Yang Lin looked at the palace with a screaming of killing, and said lightly: "Let's wait here, wait for the person who manipulates the situation to appear, if my guess is right, he will soon come to clean up the mess." ”

"Who's that guy?"

"I don't know, but He Jin has paved the way for his appearance, and he will definitely come."

"You're really crazy." Sima Lang sighed, stopped persuading, patted the back of his head, and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Yang Lin asked.

Sima Lang looked in the direction of the city gate and said, "There are still many people at the city gate, I will go and stop them from leaving the city." ”

After he finished speaking, he stared at Yang Lin: "If your guess is wrong, everyone will stay here for He Jin to be buried." ”

Yang Lin laughed, followed Sima Lang's footsteps, and walked towards the city gate.

At the east gate of Luoyang, the war in the palace has not yet extended here.

When Yang Lin and Sima Lang felt that the city gate was closed, countless people were carrying luggage and were surrounding the city gate begging the soldiers to open the door.

Sima Lang looked around and saw that there was no army from the imperial court, only two guards guarding the city tower, and immediately said dissatisfied:

"It's really not like that, at this kind of pass, the guards in Luoyang are not at the sentry posts to maintain order."

Yang Lin glanced at it and said, "Probably go to the palace to relieve the siege." ”

"Yes, the decisive battle between the relatives and the eunuchs, if they make great achievements at this moment, they will be high-ranking and powerful people in the future."

"Only fools like us would run the other way around."

"Because we're fools, we don't have to look at their faces."

"It's a pity that the two fools have a low status and can't do anything."

"Since you're a fool, do something stupid." Sima Lang faced the noisy crowd and shouted, "Don't open the door!" Everyone, please listen to me: I am the Imperial History Sima Lang, this is the Imperial History Yang Lin, we just came out of the palace, and now the rebellion has been quelled, please don't go out of the city, Luoyang will be safe soon! ”

Yang Lin looked at Sima Lang's serious appearance and suddenly smiled, he was really decent.

"Two adults, what the hell is going on?"

Yang Lin and Sima Lang glanced at each other, then walked out of the column and announced loudly: "The eunuch murdered the minister, and today's fact is the misfortune of the Han family. ”

In the crowd, someone suddenly said, "Are we really not going to run away, what if they hit here?" ”

Yang Lin explained: "The rescue soldiers are already outside the city, and they will arrive immediately. ”

After Yang Lin said this, the people seemed to be quieter. He stood with Sima Lang, looked in the direction of the palace, looked at the closed city gate, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know what the situation of the other three city gates is now." ”

"Just think about the farce and end it quickly."

"Yes." Yang Lin suddenly exclaimed.

"What do you think of?"

"How could I forget, the Ten Standing Servants are scheming, how could they suddenly attack He Jin. I figured it out, their purpose is not only He Jin, but also the Son of Heaven. ”

"You mean, the Ten Standing Servants will hold the Son of Heaven hostage?"

"Yes, He Jin is not the only one who wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven, the Ten Standing Servants created this chaos, I am afraid the purpose is to get the Son of Heaven. He Jin is dead, if they leave Luoyang with the Son of Heaven, then the one who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the ministers will be replaced by them. ”

Sima Lang smiled bitterly: "In these days, everyone really wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven." ”

"I hope that whoever holds the Son of Heaven will not end well." Yang Lin said lightly.

"The rescuers you said haven't come yet?"

"Come on, do you hear the sound of horses' hooves?"

"Heard, shouldn't he go to save the Son of Heaven at this time?"

"Yes, he should have thought of ...... I understand, because there is another person in Luoyang City who can be comparable to the Son of Heaven. ”

"Who is it?"

"The orphan of the first emperor, the prince's association."

"You said someone would go to protect the Prince's Association?"

The corners of Yang Lin's mouth rose: "Do you remember the story of strange goods?" ”

"Of course I do. King Xiang of Qin Zhuang gained power, and Lü Buwei had a good way to invest. ”

"Lü Buwei is a merchant, so Yiren replaced the emperor with his support."

The city gate slowly opened, and the neat army passed through the city gate, led by a Xiliang man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Yang Lin sat on the steps, watched the army pour in, and said lightly:

"Look at it, Lu Buwei is here."
