Of course: if he did not die and miraculously developed later, people could sing the praises of his pride. But what about death? If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, but the courage of the horseman... The important thing is that he is not dead, and after rushing back to his hometown in the snowstorm, another adventure awaits him. With this, there is everything that follows!

This time, Wanyan Aguta took the place of his eldest brother, Wu Yashu, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, to attend the head fish banquet. Hundreds of years ago, the world was the same, whether it was the East and the West, whether it was a feudal society or a slave society, everything was given priority to the eldest son. Such as Wu Ya Shu and Ah Gu Da. Even if Wu Yashu is thick and weak, and Ah Guda is strong and shrewd, there is no way to change the order of their inheritance!

The second brother A Guda can only obey the orders of the eldest brother Wu Yashu, even if he is asked to participate in the humiliating head fish banquet, he can only be obedient! But when he returned to his hometown with a belly full of fire, he suddenly found that his eldest brother had fallen ill! From this time on, he was already the supreme leader of the Wanyan Nuzhen! This is something that Wanyan Aguda never dreamed of! Because in his family, it is not easy for him to be in charge of the family in terms of seniority!

In May, with Cai Jing's recital, the deepest hidden person in the inner palace of the Great Song Dynasty stepped into the foreground of history - another great eunuch and hidden minister Liang Shicheng! Whispered: Every time I see this name, I am madly puzzled, why what? It's weird! Why did Liang Qichao, the great sage of the Republic of China, give his talented second son the same name?

Liang Shengren doesn't know the inside story? It is simply impossible, he himself wrote "The Biography of Wang Jinggong", which discusses Wang Anshi's political achievements, and is a grandmaster-level figure in Song history. Liang Ergongzi is also personable, academic success, is the leading archaeologist in New China, master architect, married to the wife of Lin Huiyin, one of the best girls at that time... So why does he want to call Liang Sicheng? It's weird!

Back in the Song Dynasty, this name was also a headache at the time, and almost made the entire Song Dynasty literary circle angry! The eunuch Liang actually claimed that he was the illegitimate son of the great writer Su Shi!

This is a blasphemy against an icon! Su Shi is perfect in people's hearts. He is not only highly literate, can live, caring, and persistent, but also a good man who is single-minded. For example, he wrote for his first wife, "Ten years of life and death", I don't know how many generations of ladies were moved to cry. hated that she was not born in the Song Dynasty and married Su Shi and died early, so that she could be the heroine of this poem. If he turned around and married the sister of his first wife, the sister was angry for a while during the Wutai poetry case, burned all his poems and ink, and laughed at it... What a big heart! Another example is to live with his favorite concubine Chaoyun in his later years, Chaoyun accompanied him to degrade southern Xinjiang and died of illness in a foreign land... Well? Is this Chaoyun good to Su Shi? Nothing to prove that Su Shi is great? But he is good, and he is a good person who writes good poems and words!

So Liang Shicheng became a public enemy of the cultural circles at that time! But no one dares to talk nonsense, first, because his power is too great, so big that Cai Jingjing has to accompany the smiling face to flatter, and Tong Guan has to consciously be small. The two best people inside and outside the palace are "beautiful sheep" in front of him, who dares to do anything?

Second, he is really kind to the people of the Su family. For example, when the world was in the limelight when Su Shi's articles and works were in the limelight, no one dared to say a fair word. Liang Shicheng stood up and openly knelt in front of Zhao Ji and shouted "What is the crime of the first minister" The first minister, which is the son's honorific title for his father, he said this in public as a son. As a result of his efforts, the Su family's difficult life began to change. When Su Shi's youngest son Su Guo was in the capital, Liang Shicheng said to the palace treasury officials, "Master Su's money is less than 10,000 yuan, and you don't have to report it", and the brothers can't do this, right?

Liang Shicheng is such a complex person. He must have been murderous, for he was the first eunuch of his time! Deter the world. Flip the clouds. But he has enough human touch to do things that make decent people feel related. Why is this happening? This starts with his path to power, and his ability and position contain two diametrically opposed attributes of good and evil at the same time...

From the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty to the generation of Liang Shicheng, it is necessary to trace their path to promotion. In the beginning they were nothing. It's just the cleaning staff in the palace, and the number is very small, about 50 people...

Under the strict management of Zhao Kuangyin, their life was very gloomy. The brilliance of the old-timers of the Han and Tang dynasties is simply unimaginable...

Zhao Guangyi period suddenly blowout, the great eunuch Wang Jien was born, twice made the "axe sound candle shadow", the first time successfully established Zhao Guangyi, the latter time wanted to establish Zhao Yuanzuo but met Lu Duan. It's a failure. In addition, to quell Li Shun's uprising and enter Sichuan, he can make a river of blood...

After that, the good days of the eunuchs came. Zhao Heng's body collapsed, and he was exploited by his wife Liu E, and he got the highest power, and even the eunuchs rose. Even if Liu E is strict, they have a tall image. By the time Renzong arrived, there were already some outstanding figures such as Zhang Maoze, who were able to make the emperor run out of the palace with his hair disheveled when he was ill and begged for help from the hundred officials, saying that the eunuchs wanted to kill him...

The eunuchs of the British and Shen dynasties steadily increased in power, and in terms of military generals, Li Xian had a transcendent position in the Northwest Army. In terms of literary affairs, Wang Anshi, a generation of famous ministers, was disgraced by the eunuchs at the gate of the palace, which can be said to be very powerful...

But it is still under control, and the real loss of control was during the period of the "Female Zhong Yao Shun" Empress Dowager Gao. This is the second female leader in the history of the Song Dynasty. Imperial power is sometimes like chastity, the first time you are bullied, there are many sympathizers and supporters, and by the second or third time, no matter what the person concerned is, the bystanders become boring and numb. The second time the Empress Dowager Gao, the third time to the Empress Dowager, during which the ministers dared to face the emperor with their backs and buttocks in the court, and only told the Empress Dowager when reporting their work, and ignored the emperor's face at all. What's this like? Even with the eunuchs, they can't be lawless...

Chen Yan and others appeared, daring to tamper with the holy decree in the gap between the Empress Dowager Gao being seriously ill and not dying, and Song Zhezong's failure to pro-government, and being the mastermind behind the scenes. When the eunuchs have done this, there is already a faint shadow of the eunuch community in the late Tang Dynasty. However, Chen Yan was short-lived and died a miserable death, but he pointed out the way forward for the younger generations - eunuchs should be like this! Being a eunuch in the Song Dynasty was not only the way to lead the troops to fight and cut blood!

And Liang Shicheng is the most beautiful person on this road!

It takes a special mind to take this path, to know that eunuchs are always parasites of imperial power, and what a big proposition is it to secretly control the overall situation when the emperor is alive or even healthy, and be the mastermind behind the huge empire? To unravel it, even the eunuch communities in the late Tang Dynasty who manipulated the emperor's life and death at will couldn't do it!

Because those eunuchs are just increasing the power of the eunuchs on the basis of their predecessors, they are just guarding! And the first generation of eunuchs who created the situation. In order to solve this seemingly unsolvable problem! Liang Shicheng is the first generation. If he wants to take a chestnut from the fire, the first thing to do is to analyze. It is necessary to analyze the special hobbies of the new emperor and do what he likes, so that he can have a living space. You must know that he was still an unknown junior when Song Zhezong died...

History proves that his wisdom is on the same level as Tong Guan and Cai Jing. Tong and Cai thought of it, he thought of it, and when operating, the direction he chose was stronger than Tong and Cai's execution! It's like someone using coal to light a fire, and they get warmth. Someone carves with coal, but gets a work of art.

Tong Guan analyzed that Zhao Ji likes calligraphy, painting, danqing, and Lingmao antiques. So he temporarily put down the foundation of the armed eunuchs, let the army go, and went to Hangzhou, the distant and unfamiliar south of the Yangtze River, to find art treasures for Zhao Ji. Cai Jing coincidentally helped Tong Guan and fulfilled himself with his own talent. And Liang Shicheng is on a higher level, he wants to be the mastermind behind the scenes and control the overall situation, then the battlefield will always be in the capital, or even in the palace, he can't leave here. You have to stand out in the world's most secret and harsh realm to achieve your goal. He can't leave Kaifeng! Never!

Liang Shicheng collected a large number of celebrity paintings and calligraphy in his private mansion, and then used all levels of relationships to invite handsome celebrities from all over the world to evaluate and watch. He hid in the shadows and listened and watched, and any famous man with superb insight that could resonate with him became his prey. One after another. He collected a lot, and he was very attentive to doing this work. Because this is his team, his capital, and his proximity to Zhao Ji. The most essential elements of being behind the scenes.

With the team, Liang Shicheng has become more low-key. When he appeared in the palace, it was like a breeze. It not only makes people feel refreshed, but also carries a kind of elegant connotation that other eunuchs do not have.

The reason for this is that he is knowledgeable. This eunuch with a heart, when the other eunuchs around him were dancing with guns and sticks, opening their formations and marching with their mouths closed, preparing to fight in the northwest, he paid attention to books. Even if he never entered the field and became a courtier, he still read a lot of books.

And books gave him a different kind of charm and opportunity, and Zhao Ji noticed him. The emperor was lonely, and when he walked out of the palace gate to the court, he was accompanied by ministers, who were educated as him and could play with him. For example, Cai Jing, no matter which kind of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, the two have a common language. But what about going back to the palace? They are all yin and yang people who show off their might, and they are nondescript. In the long run, how perfect is Zhao Ji's yuppie life? Liang Shicheng fills in this gap!

He first revealed a little bit of literary brilliance, which made Zhao Ji a little curious. Gradually, Zhao Ji upgraded him to a doll and took him around the imperial city to chat at any time. After a long time, Zhao Ji found that the eunuch's background could not be revealed, and he was not only a little literate, but even the national decree could not defeat him?

This is very rare, taking the outside ministers as an example, the training process is very long, first basic education, starting from the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, to the success of the imperial examination to become a courtier, this is just the beginning. After that, they have to receive standardized training for civil servants before they can take over specific work. Taking writing a chapter as an example, in terms of format and content, it is completely different from the imperial examination!

A eunuch is actually self-taught, with this ability? What a surprise! Zhao Ji realized that this was a godsend for him to jump out of the sea of literature and mountains and devote himself to the art garden. Think about how perfect it is: a eunuch can approve the chapter and write a reply according to his wishes, and write it quickly and well, only with benefits and no harm? What dangers can there be? The ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty is the most complete and meticulous of all dynasties, and Zhao Ji himself is young and healthy, no matter what point of calculation, this eunuch is just a Taiwanese typewriter!

But Zhao Ji miscalculated this time! Liang Shicheng will put a few more posters after work every day until he strives for perfection and reaches the level of fakeness! And the calligraphy is Zhao Ji's thin gold body royal pen!

The Song Dynasty was messed up at the fundamental point! The Emperor's decree was faked! Think about it: In this way, how many national decrees have become Liang Shicheng's personal will? He hardly needs an accomplice in crime, and he has the power to sit on an equal footing with the state!

Seeing this, many people will frown: the Song Dynasty's government decrees are superimposed and contain each other, especially the level of the Holy Decree and Imperial Pen, which was the most attentive place for Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu back then, to prevent someone from cheating or the king being mediocre! Like the generation of a holy decree.

First of all, the governors in Zhongshu Province made a judgment on the matter reported below, and wrote a draft to submit to the emperor. After the emperor's approval, he returned the handling opinions to the Zaizhi, and the Zaizhi made a conclusion through collegial deliberation, and then handed it over to the Hanlin Scholar or Zhizhi to write an official document. In the meantime, if the Hanlin Scholar and the Zhizhi Yu feel that there is a problem, they still have the right to dismiss it and refuse to write!

Such a rigorous process is the most perfect of all dynasties. A dead eunuch dares to make a ghost? Pure death! And the holy decree was not written by the emperor at all, so even if the eunuch wanted to make ghosts, he couldn't do it?

Hehe! Speaking of this, we have to say: This is due to the New Party, and to tell the truth, some of the decrees of Xining's reform cannot be promulgated. The Hanlin Bachelors and the Zhizhi Edict are all old parties, and every decree issued above is a new law, and every article makes them angry, and let them write and promulgate it? Go to hell! Without exception, all the rejections! After many times, Wang Anshi became popular! Before the election of a new two-system official, the decree was directly released to bypass this hurdle!

As a result, there are both advantages and disadvantages, and the reform has been accelerated and the system of tightness has also been broken. Since then, there have always been people who use various excuses to disobey the principles and make small moves in the process. But in general, no one dares to deceive on a large scale...

The reason why Liang Shicheng is developed is that he is still stained with some of Cai Jing's light...

As mentioned earlier: Cai Jing has monopolized all state operations with the Department of Lectures, and the original functional departments have also been paralyzed, so how can various regulations and systems exist alone?

Liang Shicheng has a heart, and a good luck, just hit this once-in-a-lifetime crack of the times, just ask who will suddenly have a nervous attack, grabbed Zhang Shengzhi and ran to ask the emperor, "Your Majesty, is this one written by your own hand?"

The eunuch Liang held the imperial pen in his hand and issued the highest instructions of the state at any time. With this one in hand, he is invincible! What he did the most was the appointment and dismissal of personnel.

Who is promoted, who is dismissed, this is the authority of the original two officials, it is the most frequent thing in the imperial pen, and this is precisely the lifeblood of officials! Who doesn't want to be promoted? Whoever has to beg the Great Eunuch Liang!

Liang Shicheng firmly grasped the lifeblood of all the officials in his hands... Well? I'll admit it: that's a bit of a bad taste? But here's how it is! History always makes a joke repeatedly: at the end of almost every feudal dynasty, the lifeblood of all officials was firmly grasped by some yin and yang people who lost their life...

As a result, Liang Shicheng controlled the officialdom, and after controlling it for a long time, he felt monotonous, and he began to attack the imperial examination. The imperial examination is the pride of scholars, and it is the supreme means of the emperor to win over the heroes of the world, and now it has also been transferred to Liang Shicheng and has become a crash course for his cronies...

He was able to shoehorn his cronie Chu Hong into the examination room for the etiquette test, but unfortunately Chu Hong was not angry and fell off the list. Never mind! If it doesn't work once, it will be twice! The examiner trembled the second time, and if you don't admit it, be careful about the third time? Or the end of your own officialdom! Chu Hong succeeded, he walked out of the examination room of the Ministry of Rites with his head held high, stood in the team of top students of the Song Dynasty, entered the hall of parliament and politics, and became a protégé of the Son of Heaven. But he was very well-behaved, and after passing the exam, he did not go to the Ministry of Officials to report for the candidacy as an official, but still returned to the eunuch mansion of Liang to listen to the errand. So what is this show for? Is it just to go to the Jinluan Palace to write about this visit? Not really! How touching, what a gorgeous and dazzling master-servant relationship... The master satisfied the servant's fame psychology and let him leap into the dragon gate and become a protégé of the Son of Heaven. And the servant is loyal, a servant for one day and a slave for life, and always serves the leader... (To be continued......)
