Chapter 4 Mother's Queen

"Ling'er, now that Old Lady Dong and Dong Chong are dead, and the hussar general is vacant, your second brother Miao'er should fill it." It was Empress He's mother Wu Yangjun who spoke, that is, his grandmother, and the old lady Dong in her mouth was his grandmother, Empress Dowager Dong.

"Mother, this matter is not appropriate, now the eldest brother is a very human minister, in the position of a general, the second brother is already a chariot general, and also has the right to open a mansion, if you enter the hussar general again, the pole will be reversed, and those scholars will definitely oppose it with all their might." It was Ho Hou who spoke to his mother.

"What's wrong, He Jin is already a general, if Miao Er becomes a hussar general, who else can touch my He family? What do you do with the scholars? Ling'er, He Jin and Miao Er are both your brothers, you can't favor one over the other. Wuyangjun chattered.

A wave of disgust rose in Ji Ping's heart.

The two Han Dynasty followed the Qin Dynasty's system of three princes and nine secretaries, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the civil service was the highest in the three dukes of "Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei", followed by Jiuqing, and then hundreds of officials.

The highest military rank is the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, and the guard general.

The general is above the three dukes, and now he is the general, followed by the hussar general, lower than the three dukes and higher than the nine qing, and the second chariot general, the same as the nine qing, and is now held by He Miao.

The original hussar general was Dong Chong, the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, who was forced to death by He Jin more than a month ago, and the position of hussar general was vacant.

Wuyangjun is He Jin's stepmother, and He Miao was also born to her previous husband Zhu, and she is not related to He Jin, and the two have no feelings for He Jin. Only He Hou was born to He Zhen, who was born to He Jin's father He Zhen, and was related to He Jin and He Miao, and was caught in it.

Ji Ping didn't have any ill feelings towards He Jin, but he was extremely disgusted with Wuyangjun and He Miao. Wuyangjun was greedy for money, He Miao was power-hungry, and he was jealous of his brother's power, so instead of standing on He Jin's side, he repeatedly accepted the property of the Ten Standing Servants and colluded with the Ten Standing Servants.

Now they have come to ask Empress He for the position of hussar general, and they really belong to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty!

"Although I hate scholars, I cannot govern the country without them." Hearing that He Hou was in trouble, Ji Ping quickened his pace, turned a corner, and in the pavilion on the side of Shangshutai, he saw He Hou.

He Hou's side was accompanied by four palace maids and four small yellow doors, as well as Wuyangjun and He Miao.

Ji Ping was still hesitating whether to tell Empress He about the conspiracy of the Ten Standing Servants last night, but what else could he say about the scene in front of him?

Not to mention whether these little yellow doors are the ten permanent servants, only Wuyangjun and He Miao are on the side of the ten permanent servants.

I'm afraid that as soon as he speaks, he won't live tomorrow.

"Emperor!" When He Hou saw Ji Ping from a distance, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he sat down again: "When did the emperor wake up?" Is it cured? ”

Ji Ping hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The child has seen his mother, and he just woke up this morning, and his body is already well. ”

"Why don't you have a good rest and come to Shangshutai early in the morning? Have you read today's book? He Hou's tone was a little reprimanding.

Ji Ping raised his head, he was the first time he really saw his mother.

He Hou is only about thirty years old in front of her, although she was born as a butcher, but the butcher in the Han Dynasty did not only refer to the slaughter of pigs, but a local rich family one level lower than the Shi clan and Haoqiang, speaking of which He Hou is also a daughter of the eldest lady, her skin is like snow, her temples are golden hairpins, her phoenix eyes are powerful, and she is dignified with a bit of fierceness.

The previous impressions of He Hou were all in Liu Wei's memory, mainly stern and tough. In addition, it is the fear of He Hou and the thirst for mother's love hidden in Liu Bian's heart.

"The child will come to see his mother first, and then he will go back to study." Ji Ping coped with it, but sighed secretly in his heart, with a faint disappointment.

He was an orphan in his previous life, and he finally had a mother in this life, but this mother was too far from the love he expected.

However, his mother is special, she is the queen mother who holds the power of the world, and she is the winner who killed Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren and forced the Empress Dowager Dong to death in the palace fight.

Maybe I shouldn't have expected too much in the first place.

At this time, Wuyangjun and He Miao on the side came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted him, he just nodded.

In terms of seniority, Wuyangjun and He Miao are taller than him, but in terms of identity, the two are not as good as him. He wasn't a person who liked to put on music, but he really didn't have a good impression of these two.

Coping with the two words with Empress He, Ji Ping was also a little interested, and Empress He asked about some scriptures, etiquette, political affairs, etc., without any intimate words from mother and son.

After talking for a while, He Hou suddenly said: "Tang Wan is sick, the emperor will go and see it in a while." ”

"Tang Wan is sick?" Ji Ping was shocked.

Tang Wan is his only concubine, after experiencing the scene last night, when he heard that Tang Wan was sick, the first thought that came to his mind was, could it be that the ten permanent servants also did something to their own concubine?

At this time, He Hou said: "The imperial doctor has seen it, but he is frightened. ”

As long as it's not poisoning, Ji Ping's heart was relieved, and he nodded silently: "The child will go over." ”

Just as he was about to say goodbye to Queen He, a eunuch trotted over: "Queen Mother, Huangmen Shilang Xun Yu asks to see." ”

He Hou said lightly: "Come here." ”

"Xun Yu??" Ji Ping, who was about to leave, trembled, and said secretly: "Could it be that Xun Gongda, who was praised by Cao Cao as the mastermind?" ”

At this time, He Hou said: "The emperor, let's step back first, these celebrities have always been above the top, don't see it, so as not to be congested, you just concentrate on reading." ”

Ji Ping nodded silently, but subconsciously slowed down.

Xun You was born in Yingchuan Xun's famous family, since He Hou said that he was a celebrity, then eighty percent should not be wrong, it is the famous Xun You in history, if he can ask him for a lesson or two, maybe he can escape from the palace lightly.

Soon, an official wearing a crown and a black official uniform walked over steadily under the guidance of Xiao Huangmen, and when he approached, he saluted respectfully: "Chen Xun Yu see the Queen Mother." ”

Ji Ping had already walked to the pavilion and looked sideways.

Xun You looked to be around thirty years old, with a solemn face, his eyes lowered, and he respectfully presented a note.

The Huangmen squire was in charge of the transmission of edicts and documents, and was also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, although he also belonged to the jurisdiction of the Shaofu and his duties were similar to those of the Xiaohuangmen, but he was not a eunuch.

"Xun Jun is flat." He Hou took the song and didn't look at it, but asked directly in a solemn voice: "Tell me what's the matter with the general?" ”

Xun You said respectfully: "The general asks for the dismissal of the following permanent attendants, and the three ministers will make up for it." ”

"Replace eunuchs with Lang officials?" He Hou frowned and fell silent.

Lang Guan is a normal man, and most of them are the children of scholars.

He Hou was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "From ancient times to the present, it is the eunuchs who lead the inner palace, which is also the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, how can it be abolished?" What's more, the first emperor has just died, how can I let the scholars accompany me! Let the general come to me. ”

He Jin began to plan the Ten Standing Attendants, Ji Ping was shocked, and then his heart was full of disappointment, his mother still preferred the Ten Standing Attendants? She can't be relied on after all.

If she can obey He Jinjian and get rid of the Ten Standing Servants as soon as possible, Dong Zhuo may not enter Beijing, nor will there be that chaos, and the Eastern Han Dynasty may still survive for a few years, and she will not worry about her life for a while.

Do you want to take this opportunity to forcibly persuade your mother to get rid of the Ten Permanent Attendants? Whether you succeed or not, give it a try!

He was hesitating to go up, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a flash of appreciation in Xun You's eyes.

Admiration? Xun You actually agreed with his mother! Ji Ping was shocked, why?

He couldn't help but think about it, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly, although he came from later generations, he was inferior to these ancients who had been fighting for a long time in terms of power and strategy.

Then He Hou and Xun Yu asked and answered, Ji Pingxian, He Hou is also quite familiar with political affairs, not that he is ignorant as he imagined, and completely relies on foreign ministers.

However, he didn't listen carefully, but left directly, turned around not far away, and waited on Xun You's way out of the palace.

The opportunity is really rare, he doesn't know if there will be a chance to see Xun Yu again in the future, he must seize this opportunity.

About the tea cup, he saw Xun You walking quickly.

"陛xià." When Xun You saw Ji Ping, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed, he was a close minister, so he naturally recognized this young man who didn't show up much.

"Xun Jun doesn't have to be polite." Ji Ping helped him up and walked side by side with him, Xun Yu hurriedly took half a step back to show respect.

The two walked for a while, Ji Ping didn't speak, and Xun You didn't speak. Seeing that there was no one around, Ji Ping slowed down, and Xun You also slowed down, so that Ji Ping couldn't help but praise his cleverness.

At this time, he had a lot of things to ask, but he didn't know where to start, and somehow, he suddenly asked a seemingly strange question: "Xun Jun, why is the general in a hurry to kill the Ten Standing Servants?" Why is the Queen Mother opposed? ”

This question seems to have nothing to do with Ji Ping's situation, but it is also very critical, because it was a battle between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants in history that allowed Dong Zhuo to take the opportunity to enter Beijing and kill him, the Son of Heaven.

And he had a question in his heart, He Jin did not have a direct conflict of interest with the Ten Standing Servants, but had a cooperative relationship in the early stage, why did he rush to kill the Ten Standing Servants, for the sake of fame and political capital?

It seems a bit far-fetched, because after eradicating the power of eunuchs, He Jin, a relative who holds great power, will instead hide his bow and become a thorn in the side of the scholars, and He Jin also hesitated several times in history, and was finally killed.

Ji Ping was puzzled about this history in his previous life, and he agreed with the sentence that any history that makes people confused will not be true history.

And just now, He Hou opposed the killing of the Ten Standing Servants, Xun You appreciated it, and there must be something strange in this.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly general question made Xun You silent, and Ji Ping suddenly understood in his heart that there was something greasy in it.

But Xun You didn't say anything, he wasn't in a hurry, and the two walked slowly.

After walking ten steps, Xun Yu said: "The general wants to punish the ten permanent servants, the hope of this scholar, the queen mother wants to protect the ten permanent servants, and this way of self-protection is also." ”

Xun You was just a simple sentence, but Ji Ping immediately understood, it turned out that He Jin's killing of the Ten Standing Servants was not voluntary, but forced. And the driving force behind the scenes is the Shiren Group!

He studied history in his previous life, and naturally knew some general historical knowledge.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been three forces fighting around the imperial power, and relatives and eunuchs take turns to sing the leading role, but there is also a strength that cannot be ignored, that is, the scholar group.

However, eunuchs or relatives are always consistent with the imperial power in a certain period, while the interests of the scholars and the imperial power are opposed, and the power of the ministers is strong, and the power of the monarch is weak, so the scholars always suffer.

At the time of Huan Ling, Cao Jie, Wang Fu, and the Ten Standing Servants successively controlled the government and government, and some extremely virtuous, or radical scholars came forward, raised the Qing Dynasty, and were pointed out as "party members" by the eunuchs.

Relying on the imperial power, the eunuchs suppressed the party members three times, and most of the party members were driven out of the court, deprived of political rights, and imprisoned, which was a disaster for the party.

In the first year of Zhongping, that is, about five years ago, the unprecedented Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, with millions of participants in most of the prefectures and counties in the world. Emperor Ling was afraid that the party members would collude with the yellow turbans, so he granted amnesty to the party members in the world, and the imprisoned party members began to return to the court for 6 consecutive years and re-participate in the court politics.

At that time, although He Jin, who had just become a general, was not from a high background, he also followed the example of the previous general Dou Wu and recruited more than 20 famous people at home, and Xun You was one of them. Others include the well-known Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, Kong Rong, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Chen Lin, Zhang Hong, etc.
