In the next two days, he searched for clues related to the structure of the palace and secret passages in Lantai, Shishu and other places where books were stored, and at the same time investigated and understood the situation of those party members and scholars.

Among the current enemies, he basically understands the eunuchs, and Dong Zhuo also knows that only the Shiren Group knows less.

During this period, he saw some documents since Emperor Ling came to power, and he thought about it in his heart.

He felt that in fact, Emperor Ling was not as stupid as later generations said, although there were many absurd and nonsensical behaviors, but his own ability was still relatively strong.

Ji Ping is now the emperor, and he can naturally understand some of the emperor's helplessness and difficulties. He felt that overall, Emperor Ling's governance was a mixed bag.

In the fifteen years from Emperor Ling's pro-government to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, there were nearly 30 wars in the Han Dynasty, but there were only two local civil uprisings, and the remaining ninety percent were mostly foreign rebellions.

It can be seen that although the government is chaotic, the people's lives are barely passable, and a large part of the people's difficulties lie in natural disasters. During the reign of Emperor Ling, there were more than a dozen large-scale natural disasters, including floods, droughts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., and the scope of disasters was very large.

In this regard, Emperor Ling was not completely inactive, and adopted such wasted policies as sending medicine, praying for rain, building canals, and reducing or reducing land rents.

Among them, there were four plagues, the first three Spirit Emperors had disaster relief, but the last one did not cause medicine, and Zhang Jiao took the opportunity to apply Fu Shui in this epidemic and expanded the Taiping Dao.

The transformation was born after the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, perhaps because of the Yellow Turban, Emperor Ling seemed to have a grudge against the people, and became more and more absurd.

From this point of view, it can be said that the frenzied destruction and looting of the Yellow Turban Rebellion led to a large number of people living in poverty.

And Ji Pingxian, Emperor Ling is still very good at employing people. He favored eunuchs, but he was not completely superstitious about eunuchs, and during his reign, he eliminated Wang Fu, Cao Jie and other powerful eunuchs, and appointed the ten permanent servants with slightly inferior power status, and controlled the eunuch power in the imperial power.

For the most severe invasion of foreign races during his reign, Emperor Ling first continued to appoint the famous general Duan Cheng to pacify the Qiang people, so that the Qiang rebellion was quelled for fifteen years, and later appointed Liu Yu to quell the Wuhuan Rebellion, so that the people of Liaodong lived in peace, and at the same time appointed a large number of generals such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun in the Yellow Turban Rebellion to pacify the civil rebellion.

In addition, when Emperor Ling was in power, there was no shortage of capable ministers, as well as Gai Xun, Fu Xie, Zhang Huan, Lu Zhi, and even Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan.

It's just that the Spirit Emperor is a little unkind, he has always used talents when he is in trouble, and after surviving the difficulties, he will turn his face ruthlessly, withdraw when he should be withdrawn, change when he should be replaced, and continue to be appointed when he needs it again.

In terms of culture, Emperor Ling also made great achievements, so Cai Yong and others engraved the Xiping Stone Scripture, which became a grand event in the history of Confucianism as the official Confucian scripture. At the same time, for the scholars to monopolize Taixue, they also established Hongdu Menxue, and selected the children of the Hanmen with lower status to balance the power of the scholars, but the scholars' power was too strong, and it was a failure after all.

However, despite this, after the death of Emperor Ling, the mausoleum was still Wenling, which was obviously praised by the ministers for his cultural deeds.

Seeing these materials, Ji Ping's thoughts became clearer and clearer, as for the restoration of the state pastoral system in the first year of Zhongping, it was considered by later generations to be the beginning of local separation, but Emperor Ling actually did not abuse it, he was extremely controlling, and only appointed four state pastors, the only thing that is regrettable is that his life is too short, and he can no longer control the abuse of the state pastor.

And Emperor Ling is also quite measured, if the general minister is not forced, he can also listen to opinions, such as Gai Xun once bluntly said that Emperor Ling was reckless, Emperor Ling was not angry, but praised: "You are right, I hate to see Jun Wan, the ministers have never said these things." ”

Emperor Ling once asked Hongnong Yang Qi again: "How can I be like Emperor Huan?" Yang Qi sarcastically: "His Majesty is to Emperor Huan, and it is also like Shun Bide Tang Yao." "The meaning of the words is that Yu Shun is as virtuous as Tang Yao, and you are as mediocre as Emperor Huan.

Emperor Ling wisely heard the meaning of the words, but he didn't blame it, but just said: "Qing is strong, the true descendants of Yang Zhen, after death, he will return to the big bird." "Hongnong Yang Zhen is a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, after the death of a big bird Gao Zhangyu, landed in front of the mausoleum, pitched and screamed, tears touched the ground, after the burial, it flew away.

From this point of view, Emperor Ling is willful, but he is quite intelligent, and he has some measurements and actions, if it weren't for the absurdity of his private life and his early death from a deficit, the chaos in the world is likely to be postponed for many years.

From this point of view, the reason why those party members were imprisoned may be because they fought for power and profit, threatened the imperial power, and took the initiative to attack political opponents and did not do pragmatic things, which was disgusted by Emperor Ling.

Because the imprisoned party members are only a small part of the scholars, for most of the scholars, Emperor Ling is still appointed.

As for the role played by scholars and party members in this world chaos, from the documents he saw, combined with the analysis of later historians, Ji Ping also had a further understanding.

The scholars only say that the ten permanent servants are in trouble in the world, but from the perspective of the scholars, there is no shortage of corrupt people, and even the former general Dou Wu, who is known as one of the "three monarchs" by the party, is also a big corrupt official, a family of three marquis, and often takes the palace maid from the palace to drink and feast as a companion, between the ten months, it often costs hundreds of millions of money, how shocking.

This is all people's fat and people's ointment, that is, Lu Zhi also persuaded Dou Wu to rest his greed, but Dou Wu has a very high reputation among the party.

There are also those scholars who buy officials from the Spirit Emperor, most of them spend millions of dollars, where does their money come from? And the people are living a difficult life, starving to death countless times, what a contrast!

This is the so-called noble and loyal scholar group, like a mountain pressing on the community and pressing on the heads of the people of the world.

The founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty was based on the local haoqiang, and with the rise of classics, it basically formed a trinity of the landlords, the scholars, and the bureaucracy. In particular, some large families have their own large estates, tenant farmers attached to the land, and their own tribes.

And scholars are also gradually monopolizing the inspection system, raising filial piety and honesty, most of them are looking at the family surname, and the door valve government zhì has begun to see the beginning, and sometimes there are "show talents, don't know books." Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. The nursery rhyme of "Han Su is as white and muddy as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken" is a great irony.

Correspondingly, the decline of imperial power, the loss of a large number of registered people, and the annexation of land in strict zhòng have sharply reduced the national tax revenue.

As for the people who lost their land, some of them depended on the scholars, while the other part became homeless, and most of the millions of people in the Yellow Turban Rebellion were homeless.

The scholars are frantically and greedily eating away at the vitality of the Han Dynasty, exploiting the blood and sweat of the people, but they are still shouting for the country and the people.

In the chaos of the world, the Shiren group has some unshirkable responsibilities.

Emperor Ling sensed the threat, so he naturally wanted to resist and move the party, but the eunuchs he borrowed couldn't support the wall in the mud, but caused trouble in the government.

Three days later, Ji Ping intercepted Xun Yu near Shangshutai.

This time, Xun You was less restrained last time, but his face was very solemn: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao drew a plan for the general, and asked the general to summon the fierce generals and heroes of the Quartet to enter Beijing, and threaten the empress dowager." ”

"Did the general agree?" Ji Ping was silent and asked.

Xun You sighed: "Still hesitating." ”

Ji Ping's heart is full of gloom, is the world going to be chaotic? The cause was actually a scholar.

Since the ban on the party has been lifted, the party members have also been divided, most of the party members have been dormant, when He Jin was recruited, Shen Tufan ignored it, Zheng Xuan left, and Xun Shuang did not come. Only a small number of party members and some emerging scholars were attached to He Jin under the leadership of Yuan Shao.

Thinking of Yuan Shao, he sighed even more in his heart, this famous loser in history is also extraordinary.

Thinking about it carefully, although Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu, his ability to control the four states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou in the troubled times itself illustrates his means.

In the past few days, he has also focused on Yuan Shao's situation, although Yuan Shao was born in the Runan Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, he is only a concubine, and his rise is not much with the help of the Yuan family. When Luoyang Gongzi Feiying lackey, Ren Xia was angry, and the party was imprisoned, Yuan Shao mourned on the grounds of his mother's death, and then made up for his father's funeral, and was silent for six years, what patience this is!

After that, he refused to be called by the ten permanent servants, and the unconventional "seclusion" was in Luoyang, and the non-famous people were not seen, and the reputation was raised, and the scholars were not noble and low, and they rushed to their courts. In this regard, Ji Ping didn't understand what those well-known scholars were thinking.

But in any case, Yuan Shao's reputation rose, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was summoned by the general He Jin, and his cronies were reused, and he served as the general of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang, which was equivalent to the head of the central guard regiment in later generations, controlling nearly a thousand Tiger Ben troops, and was responsible for the guard during the meeting of the hundred officials.

Last year, Emperor Ling established the Eighth Captain of the West Garden, and Yuan Shao served as one of the Eight Captains of the Central Military Captain, still commanding thousands of people.

Moreover, Yuan Shao and the famous He Hao and Zhang Miao, Xu You, who had plotted to assassinate Emperor Ling, Wu Fu and Wu Ziqing, who were famous among the party, became "running friends", and now He Hao and Wu Fu are under He Jin.

After Emperor Ling died, it was Yuan Shao who first proposed to the general He Jin to kill the ten permanent servants.

Now listening to what Xun You said, Ji Ping concluded that it should be that after He Hou opposed the killing of the Ten Standing Servants a few days ago, Yuan Shao proposed to He Jin to summon the fierce generals of the Quartet and the Empress Dowager with Haojie.

And He Jin is still hesitating, obviously he is not a brainless person, and he also knows the benefits and disadvantages of foreign soldiers entering Beijing.

"Yuan Shao is a hero for a while, not to mention that there is also Taifu Yuan Kui, he won't know the great harm of foreign soldiers entering Beijing, what does he think?" Ji Ping frowned, although Yuan Shao's group of scholars is extreme, the scholars have always paid attention to reputation, and they are not going to rebel, right?

Xun You shook his head and said: "This time the killing of the Ten Standing Servants, if it is successful, the Yuan family will prosper, and it will not hurt to mess with the Yuan family." ”

Ji Ping couldn't help sneering, he understood, the Ten Standing Servants were hated by the world, and Yuan Shao planned to kill the Ten Standing Servants, once he succeeded, he would become famous all over the world and obtain the political capital of the imperial court. Even if he failed and the world was in chaos, Yuan Shao relied on the advantages of the third prince of the fourth Yuan family and the protégé of Runan, he could also divide one side and compete for the world.

Perhaps Yuan Shao prefers the latter.

Ji Ping sighed and asked again: "According to Xun Jun's observation, will the general agree to summon foreign troops into Beijing?" ”
