Text 115, "The Phenomenon of Red Eyebrow Cadres"

The red-eyed senior military and political cadres are indeed impetuous and restless. Everyone is very proud, Lao Tzu fought east and west, and now he has finally entered the capital;

Everyone is very anxious, Lao Tzu came out with his head to mix, and now his waist is still deflated, and there are not many things to grab in Chang'an at the moment; Everyone is still very rude

, don't laugh, my brothers are uneducated, and they never know what civilization is.

Faced with such a group of manic brave and ruthless people, and a chaotic situation, Liu Penzi was terrified every day in Changle Palace, crying day and night.

He didn't want to, didn't dare, and of course didn't have the opportunity to intervene in military and political affairs, but lived alone with the eunuchs.

(The basin was frightened, crying day and night, lying down alone with the middle yellow door, only to go to the pavilion and not listen to foreign affairs.) )

The basin is too busy to take care of herself, and of course she is not capable of protecting the women in the palace.

At this time, there were still thousands of palace maids.

This team only entered and could not leave, it was originally Wang Mang's inheritance, and Liu Xuan inherited it and adjusted and enriched it, but he didn't care about any of them when he fled in a hurry

Gotta take it away.

When the basin moved in, it was not an inheritance, let alone a move on them, but it was just a neighbor with them.

Because the world was too chaotic, after Liu Xuan's defeat, they didn't dare to go out and go into society, so they could only live in the palace, and they relied on digging some grass roots in the flower garden in the harem.

Catch some fish and shrimp from the pond to satisfy your hunger.

If anyone dies, they will be buried in the palace.

Quite simply, if they leave the palace, they will either be killed, starved to death, and maybe caught and tortured to death by someone. And in the palace, to

For the time being, no one has come nonsense, and the big deal is starvation.

The basin is still a child, and timid, and he doesn't like it very much, and he doesn't dare to play with these palace maids.

When any of them had the opportunity to see the basin, they quickly kowtowed and shouted that they were hungry.

The basin is kind by nature, and every time he sees this, he asks the eunuch to reward some rice.

None of them wanted to go out of the palace.

This is a complex and special group that has witnessed all the glory and ugliness of court politics, and has also been discussed countless times and after the death.

Later, until the basin left the court, none of them went out, and they all starved to death.

No, it should be said, none of them went out until they starved to death.

(After the basin went, they all starved to death.) )

During the period of drastic change in the transition between the Han and Han dynasties, this complex and special group silently endured Wang Mang's intrigues, Liu Xuan's absurdity, and the incompetence of the basin

until death.

This world is indeed too chaotic, and heroes and bears are not idle.

After all, Liu Gong, the elder brother of the basin, has a little knowledge and culture, and seeing the bear appearance of the red-eyed high-ranking cadre, he knows that failure is only a matter of time

, if there is really no drama, my brothers will definitely suffer first.

The more Liu Gong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he wanted his younger brother to resign: quit, this job is too dangerous.

In the eyes of the pot brothers, being a brother in the hands of the red eyebrows is the most boring and risky job.

So, Liu Gong secretly taught the basin how to hand over the emperor's seal, how to resign, and how to resign if someone kept him.

I can't do this job anymore anyway!

(Liu Gong saw the chaos of the red eyebrows, knew that he would be defeated, and he was afraid that his brothers would be in trouble. )

On the first day of the first month of the year 26 AD, the New Year's court meeting.

In front of the bare eyebrows, Liu Gong spoke first:

"We are grateful for the great kindness of our younger brother who made my brother emperor together. This emperor has been in office for almost one year, and the chaos of military and political affairs is getting worse day by day

The heavens are getting worse, and he really can't accomplish great things. I'm afraid that he won't be able to bring much benefit to Red Eyebrow until he dies. Now, he is willing to abdicate and become an ordinary person

, let's choose a more virtuous, wise and capable person to do, please consider. ”

Seeing that the basin was about to pick a child, everyone was not mentally prepared, and they were stunned all of a sudden.

I'm sorry, our buddies came out to mix, just want to be a village cadre, township cadres are no longer bullied, just want to grab a little bit everywhere, grab a little

, so that there is something to eat.

Although being an emperor is prestigious, the work is too professional for us to do, and there are too many people to fight for, and it is too dangerous.

Besides, everyone is very busy and can't do anything.

In a word, we can't do the emperor's job, and we don't want to do it. If the brothers can do it, how can it be the turn of the pot!

Of course, everyone lets you sit on the basin, you can cool off, and don't take it too seriously!

Fan Chong and the others looked at the posture in front of them, and hurriedly apologized and said:

"It's all ours, it's not."

Liu Gong was resolute and once again said that he would resign.

(Respectfully, please.) )

At a critical time, someone loudly questioned Liu Gong:

"The emperor resigns or not, is it up to you Liu Gong to have the final say?!"

Seeing that someone was really angry, Liu Gong was very scared. He knew it was a bunch of people who would dare to do anything.

I don't know if it was planned in advance, or if I was really afraid of affecting myself, Liu Gong hurriedly got up and walked away.

(Gong panics up.) )

At this critical moment, Liu Penzi stepped down from the emperor's dragon seat.

He untied the heirloom jade seal and ribbon tied to his body, knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, saying:

"Now that the dynasty has been established and the emperor has been established, everyone has a high-ranking position, but they are still the same as being robbers in the past, even the grassroots cadres and the masses have advanced

Something you can give, and you can snatch it. If it is spread to the outside world like this, who can still afford us? If the common people do not resent us, who still trusts us? I think

This is all caused by the impropriety of the emperor. I ask you to let me keep my bones, resign and give way, and don't stand in the way of the virtuous and talented. If

If you really want to kill me to pay for the current responsibilities and sins, I would rather die. Please have mercy on me! ”

The basin said, sighing and sighing, tears raining down.

This is really a rare scene in the history of our country!

A person who would rather die than do an errand shows how embarrassed he is, and he is nominally an emperor.

A post is so frightened and disgusted that it is not a good job to the point that it would rather die than do it, and this post is desperately chased by countless heroes and bears.

In a situation, everyone originally spoke with their fists, which shows that it is not a civilized and harmonious place, and everyone wants to stare at each other and force a little fart child to be a brother.

A group of cadres, whose positions are so high, are still doing work that only robbers can do, it can be seen that they are not good birds, and they have not left much infamy.

…………。

Could it be that the fog of history that locks up major events is so solemn that it cannot be dissipated for thousands of years?

Could it be that in the changes of dynasties and the cycle of world affairs, our social evaluation system is really always difficult to establish, so that it will be dusted by history as soon as it has a prototype?

Submerged?

What is yes and what is not, what is black, what is white, what is true and what is false, what is bad, what is good, these questions are difficult

Isn't the Tao a fundamental question that must be answered explicitly at all stages of history?

Well??

Let's go back to the court.

Facing Liu Penzi, who couldn't stop sobbing, hundreds of civil and military generals couldn't help but pity him.

Although everyone is a rough man, accustomed to besieging cities and looting, the scene in front of them is indeed touching: an emperor, kneeling, crying and begging

A group of ministers let him go.

No! A fart kid, kneeling and crying, begging a group of adults to spare him.

So, including Fan Chong and others, there is no one who is not pitiful.

(Hundreds of people who worship and join the congregation will not be pitied.) )

So, everyone left their seats, knelt down and kowtowed to the basin, and said, "We are not like our subordinates, and we are sorry for Your Majesty." From now on, we will never be

Don't mess around! ”

So, everyone picked up the basin together, picked him up and put him on the emperor's dragon seat, and put the jade seal and seal ribbon on him.

Yes, you can't always bully the emperor.

The basin is still crying and fussing, but it can't earn everyone.

Of course, he can't earn this group of martial artists.

This court meeting shook the red-eyed cadres a lot.

After the meeting, everyone obeyed the rules and returned to their camps and residences, closed their doors, and did not come out again.

The red-eyed officers and soldiers did not go out, no one in Chang'an City was rampant and harassed, and social order immediately improved significantly.

Many of the residents who had fled for refuge also returned, and the popularity of the neighborhood market quickly recovered.

The common people were very happy and praised Liu Penzi as a good emperor.

This is actually a "red-eyebrow cadre phenomenon".

The main characteristic of this phenomenon is simply that as soon as the cadres come out, the social order will be chaotic, and the common people will not be able to live in peace; And the cadres don't come out, the society

The order will be normal and orderly, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

This is not just black humor, but also a cruel social paradox.

The law of social development shows that cadres hold public power and public resources, their power comes from the support of the people, and their own work is for the people

surname service. The more he thinks about the people, the more he can win the support of the people, and the more he can make his ruling team stronger, and thus better

land for the common people.

On the other hand, if certain cadres are not just things and wholeheartedly use public power for their own selfish interests, they will inevitably harm the people and will inevitably meet with opposition from the people

, and then tarnish the image and authority of their own ruling team. And when there are too many cadres in a ruling team who are not such things, the common people will lose their trust in it

trust, you won't want it to come out and do things.

At present, the Red Eyebrow team is the latter, and there are too many people in its cadre team who are not things.

If his cadres don't come out, the world will be peaceful, otherwise, the people will suffer.

When we analyze this "red-eyebrow cadre phenomenon", we unfortunately find that it is not unique, but exists in many historical stages.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon is not extinct today.

Whenever I talk about the gratitude of Chang'an residents, I can't be happy anyway.

No, the good times didn't last long, only about 20 days later, the red-eyed cadres really couldn't hold back their wild impulses, and they came out one after another and went everywhere

Looting.

I'm sorry, but buddies are barbarians by nature.

(For more than 20 days, the red eyebrows were greedy for money and made a comeback.) )

Due to the war, the food in Chang'an City was already very scarce, and after several large-scale looting by the red eyebrows, it was even more difficult for the people to find something to eat.

In January 26 AD, when the red eyebrows had plagued Chang'an for less than four months, they completely emptied the city.

In order to get out of the predicament, in fact, in order to find something to eat, they decided to spoil Chang'an again, and led their troops to the west.

At this time, the red-eyed cadres fully showed their extremely ferocious nature.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat in Chang'an City, they looted all the valuable things in the palace, the official yamen and the people's homes

Packing, loading and taking away. Before leaving, they burned the court and the yamen to the ground. No matter when you go to the streets or alleys, you will meet local cadres and hundreds

surname, if anyone is not pleasing to the eye, they will be killed immediately.

(When the food in the city ran out, he collected the treasures, and because of the great arson, the palace was burned, and the troops were led to the west.) and the mob people, and the people guarded the wall. )

The originally majestic and magnificent Imperial City of the Western Han Dynasty, the originally prosperous and lively metropolis, has become a sea of fire and a desolate place where no one dares to go out and walk.

Red eyebrows, a team that originally came out with their heads in order not to be angry and have food to eat, now they dare to grab anything for their own food and food, and they follow it

Yicao Kan human life has long exceeded the boundaries of his own rights protection.

Red eyebrows, in order to have food for themselves, they do not hesitate to let everyone not eat; In order to vent his evil anger, no, it may be just for himself to vent one

Next, even for nothing, they don't hesitate to kill people for fun.

In this era of fierce turmoil, the red eyebrows are no longer simple! Of course, from now on, we will no longer sympathize with it.

After the red eyebrows burned and looted Chang'an, they slapped their butts and left.

In the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, they carried out a ceremony to worship God: fuck, except for God, Lao Tzu is not afraid of anything!

They are known as an army of millions, and they are proud of their toes, and everywhere they go, they are noisy with cars and horses, and smoke and dust cover the sun.

Although the basin is just a plaything, it is now following the majesty. He sat on a three-horse cart, surrounded by hundreds of riders, like going hunting.

After leaving the city, they traveled west along the northern foot of Nanshan (Qinling), and when they encountered a city, they robbed and cut people with their hands.

In Yicheng (present-day Meixian County, Shaanxi), they were held back by Yan Chun, the first general.

Unfortunately, Yan Chun was unable to do so and died in the fierce battle.

Chimei killed Yan Chun, and then immediately entered the areas of Anding (now Guyuan, Ningxia) and Beidi (now Qingyang, Gansu).

Where's the food, fuck? We're starving!

I don't know if it is the heavens that do not protect the evil, or karma, when this crazy team came to Jingyang (now northwest of Pingliang, Gansu) and other places, the weather changed suddenly.

Heavy snow fell one after another, the pits were full of trenches, and most of the red-eyed soldiers starved to death with freezing belts (Shiduo froze to death).

However, Red Eyebrows did not take this as a warning.

Instead of reflecting on themselves, they neither learned to be good nor wiser, but decided to intensify their shamelessness and cruelty to the end.
