Chapter 161: Sudden Bad News (1)
This is a time when etiquette and music have collapsed, and the nations have fought wars to this day, but there is no righteous war.
The Wei State, which occupied the Central Plains, was supposed to dominate the world, but it fell into internal troubles, frequent civil strife, and powerful ministers usurped the throne; Wu lived in Jiangdong and did not think about the Northern Expedition, but only looked at the three points of the allies.
So after Yang Yi pointed out this, all the ministers had nothing to say.
Approaching the New Year, in the lively Chang'an City, which should have been resting, public opinion at this time was in turmoil.
The original cause of the matter could not be simpler, of course, that the emperor insisted on going his own way, insisting on liquidating the accumulated evils and depriving the indiscriminate grace and shade, but it is ridiculous to say that the commotion itself caused by this was quite twists and turns.
At the beginning, when the imperial court dealt with this matter, it was impossible to determine whether the houses that had been raided in advance were involved in the matter, so many stakeholders carried out rumors and satirical behaviors with strong tentative emotions, which was the first round of public opinion turmoil.
It was clearly aimed at the new policies of the emperor and the imperial court.
But soon, the imperial court responded to these people with an extremely tough posture.
It was not only the imperial court that intensified its efforts to pursue the indiscriminate grace and shadow, but what was fatal was that the theoretical leader of these people, that is, Du Zhen, the scholar of Hanlin and the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, directly and publicly expressed his support for the imperial court.
The emperor even personally issued an order, and the brocade guards vigorously investigated the source of the gossip and those crooked poems in the previous days, and directly searched for them by the internal guards, at this time, the temptation and sarcasm of those people quickly stopped.
Because most of them are still very aware that they know that these remnants of the old times have no real power.
But just as the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, just when these former magnates took the initiative to silence in order to make a safe transition, one thing spread almost at the same time, the son of the former emperor of Wu, Liang Wang Sun Yan, after the defeated army retreated to Jiangling, he actually led the troops directly down the river to force into Jianye to seize the throne, and the city head changed the banner of the king. Then, it was the prime minister of Wei and the king of Jin, Sima You, who brazenly ascended the throne and announced that the world and the two countries launched a coup d'Γ©tat almost at the same time.
In other words, if today, it has become Shikoku.
Wei in Liaodong, Jin in the Central Plains, Han in the west, and Wu in Jiangdong.
This situation has greatly stimulated the existing bureaucratic system, the students of the Yeshi doctors, and the ordinary people, and now the follow-up public opinion turmoil in the Han Dynasty is more initiated by these people.
For decades, these usurpers and thieves, before and after taking the throne, always have to take out something to buy people's hearts and establish prestige, so dare to ask how to buy people's hearts and establish prestige?
A brilliant victory, of course!
Therefore, at this time, the war was no longer fought by the Han State or not, even if it was unwilling to fight, it would be fought, that is, Wei and Wu did not want to fight, and they also had to lead the army to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty!
Of course, it is not that no one has a little optimism, saying that the new masters of Jin and Wu are really talented, and then they will start from the overall situation and take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty.
But the question is, even if peace is to be negotiated, is it easy to negotiate peace? And the state, Sili, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, how to talk about this? If he wanted to retreat, how could the emperor be willing? I can't say 'peace' in the end, but we still have to fight!
All in all, no matter what these people think about specifically, almost all of them feel that since such an earth-shattering thing has happened at the top of the enemy country, then it will definitely directly affect the national level, and at this time, the imperial court must quickly cut through the chaos, quickly end those unnecessary internal 'waves', and concentrate on dealing with the enemy country.
Under these circumstances, other people who had been neutral about 'taking back the abuse of grace and indiscriminate shadows' immediately changed course and chose to support the policies of the imperial court and the emperor without restrictions.
To put it bluntly, the political prestige of the new emperor is already great, which comes from leading the Han to resist the invasion of the previous Wei State, and also subduing the homeland that has not been recovered for decades, and there has been a fundamental change in strategy.
And no ordinary people, including bureaucrats and magnates, are willing to go through the changes of Jingyao's six years again, and how many children and daughters who were originally high in the past six years of Jingyao were wantonly abused by the Wei people.
The prince and the princess were all forced to die, although it was only in less than a month, the capital was recaptured, but those who have experienced it know what will happen if they face it again!
Therefore, even if everyone has an instinct to be conservative, or to pursue stability, once they are really threatened by possibility, the emperor will not only have unlimited power himself, but also receive great support in public opinion.
Don't forget, that unforgettable change has only been five years ago, and everyone has never forgotten it!
On the other hand, the old elites quickly fell under the attack and scrutiny of the bureaucracy and public opinion.
The people at the bottom are saying everywhere that these people are simply the enemy's meticulous work!
There are also some doctors and students in the field, who are of a higher level, and probably know that these people are unlikely to be meticulous work, but they think that these people have actually affected the country's preparations for war, and they should be dealt with quickly, strictly, and quickly.
Public opinion was tolerant of these people in an instant.
And one of the most representative of this is that dozens of slightly radical students, on the one hand, went to the palace and submitted articles to the newspaper of the Hanlin Academy, directly asking the imperial court to implement extraordinary methods at extraordinary times, temporarily treating these people as 'spies', detaining them in a centralized manner, and then dealing with them after major events, so as to ensure a calm attitude towards the enemy.
Of course, the imperial court did not listen to these words, but there is no doubt that the bureaucracy quickly became strained, and this tension was double-stimulated by the emperor's political promise of compensating the emperor for several and a half years before, plus rewarding and posthumously rewarding and posthumously rewarding and posthumously honoring the courtiers since Jingkang...... But it forced the entire bureaucracy to quickly cut off these people, and then the efficiency and intensity of the operation and handling of this matter also reached a new level.
As for the protagonists in the whirlpool of events, that is, those powerful people in the era of Huang Hao's power in the past, since the sixth year of Jingyao, Yang Yi is no longer in charge of the center in Jinguancheng, but a separate center, and after the establishment of the line in Hanzhong, these people have been dismissed together, so that these people who have no actual credit at all in the revival of the Yan and Han Dynasty have really never thought that the coup d'Γ©tat of the enemy country actually directly affected their net worth and lives, which is as mysterious as the story in the miscellaneous books.
However, the documents that pursued Enyin's official position, as well as the investigation of previous rumors and crooked poems, really can't be true.
It is said that in the midst of the turmoil, in the evening of this day, as soon as Dong Hong, who went out to inquire about the news and came back, returned home, he went directly to the bedroom of his clan uncle Dong Ju, and then got rid of the servant woman, and questioned the clan uncle in the bedroom:
"Uncle, can you tell me now, does the words that are sung in the country have anything to do with us? Why did I ask and ask, and they all said that among the people involved, there were actually people from my family? β
Dong Ju's face was pale at this time, and he was speechless for a long time. bar
Although he became famous at a young age, he was a very talented person, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang once commented on his "Dong Lingshi, a good man, every time I talk to him, I should be cautious and appropriate." β
is also with the prime minister's characterization, Dong Ju is naturally on the road to official career.
After the death of the prime minister, he moved slightly to Shangshu Servant, and replaced Chen Yi as Shangshu Ling, moved the general, and the platform matter, and Yiyang Fan Jian acted on behalf of Yan.
It can be seen that Dong Ju, as an official of the prime minister's department, has had a smooth ride along the way, and even achieved the high position of Shang Shuling.
During the Jingyao period, Dong Ju and Zhuge Zhan jointly controlled the government.
In the fourth year of Jingyao, Zhuge Zhan was the general of the Xingdu Guard, and the auxiliary general Nanxiang Hou Dong Ju and Ping Shang Shushi.
Dong Ju was an auxiliary general at this time, and his status in Shu Han was already above 10,000 people under one person.
However, although Dong Ju was so trustworthy, he did not fulfill his duty as a courtier.
Self-Zhan, Turkish, and Jiantong affairs, Jiang Wei often conquered outside, and the eunuch Huang Hao stole the handle of the machine, and the Xian Gong would protect him, and he was incapable of correcting himself, but Jiante did not make peace with Hao.
This is obvious to everyone in the world, so Yang Yi later directly removed him from the position, in Yang Yi's view, Dong Ju was in his position and did not seek his own politics, and he did not stop it in time in the face of Huang Hao's power, which is the loss of his duty as a courtier.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is ambitious and talented, and after being removed, he is also unwilling, and between the government and the opposition, he also has more words, but he has done a lot of things.
And Dong Hong saw him in such a situation, and he was also relieved, but he got up and stomped his feet on the ground, and then turned around before turning around and asking: "Uncle, why are you so confused?" β
"Isn't that really resentful?" Lying on the couch, wrapped in a small quilt and pretending to be sick, Dong Ju was completely helpless, so he could only explain in a low voice.
"The real estate is gone, and the rank of the attendants rewarded by the emperor in the past is gone, and there is only some floating wealth left, thinking about how prosperous the family used to be, but now it is gradually falling into decline in my hands, of course I am not angry in my heart, and I happened to drink some wine some time ago, and I pointed to this matter and discussed it, and as soon as the resentment in my heart came up, I let the servants do those things."
"What if you're not angry?" Dong Hong was completely helpless at this time: "Today is an emperor who leads the troops!" β
"At that time, I felt that since the beginning of the Martyrs, the Han Emperor was still not very strict in military affairs." Dong Ju frowned slightly on the couch.
"Who would have thought that this emperor would turn his face when he said it? After all, I always feel that my official body is a reward from the emperor after all, and our Dong family can be regarded as a family of Jiuqing for generations, how can she be so disrespectful? If you want me to say ......"
"If you want me to say, the emperor is a fart?!" Dong Hong saw that his brother was still a little obsessed, but he was completely furious, took the conversation on the spot, and jumped in front of the bed and scolded.
"Let's just say that the emperor also deserves it, and he was reluctant to die back then, so that the Wei people would cause a scourge in Jinguancheng, and he was taken away by the Wei people and was also raised by Gao Jue, and said, "Here is fun, don't think about Shu", you say, what kind of decent person is this kind of person? ! Do you still want to borrow the decency of such people? β
Dong Ju was momentarily frightened by his nephew's words.
But Dong Hong seemed to be completely angry, but his face was hideous one after another. "Uncle, let me ask you, do you know where the word decency came from? If you don't know, I do! If you want to be decent, you have to have a force to support you in the back, but how did the power come from? It's not a soldier or a horse? And whoever holds the soldiers and horses in the world today can have dignity! Whoever has the strongest soldiers and horses is the most decent! Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, five years before and after, gritted his teeth and endured, trained 200,000 elite troops, and destroyed the 200,000 troops of the Wei people in a war, and became the most decent person in the world!
But what about you, uncle? You don't know anything about decency and strength! He actually thinks that he can rely on a captive who is sitting in a troubled city to talk about decency with the most decent person in the whole world? You're not trying to be decent, you're trying to bury our whole family for something we've lost a long time ago! β
"That's a big deal." One decent after another, Dong Ju was a little unbearable by his nephew's words, after all, he used to be the ruler of the court, although he only did it for two years, he was pulled off the horse by the Wei people, and now he is living in his nephew's house, and he is still a little dissatisfied.
Dong Hong's vein is passed down from Dong He back then, and his ancestor Dong Yun is in the eyes of Shu Han Shimin, but he is listed as "Siying" with Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi; Dong Yun has the merit of protecting the country, and after his death, Chen You, who succeeded Dong Yun, was flattering, and Huang Hao, a regular servant, gradually controlled the government and confused Liu Chan, and the next generation was not as good as the generation.
"It's a big fart!" Dong Hong was still angry. "Uncle, I only ask you one thing, have you thought about it, Zhang Muzhi's guy has tracked it down, what should our family do? Do you know what exile is like? And do you have to go with your whole family of dozens to suffer with you? Now, there is nothing to say about the Holy Lord's sin of condemning you for taking advantage of public opinion and inciting people's hearts, and when the time comes, not only will your whole family be exiled, but your life will also be at risk! β
When Dong Ju heard the most direct threat, he also softened his tone again: "I'm also confused for a while, and I'm just a servant......"
In the middle of the conversation, the two brothers were stunned, and immediately, Dong Ju was about to turn over and get up from the bed, but Dong Hong, who was pale, raised his hand directly to stop him.
"What do you mean, nephew?" Dong Ju lowered his voice and relatively. "Lessons from the past, it's time to dispose of people, right? But a servant! β
"I can't hide from ......," Dong Hong's voice trembled directly. The key is not the servant, but the current public opinion is accusing Uncle Yu, and the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with the reigning uncle and others because of the death of Li Zhaoyi, in this case, those people are eager to deal with their uncle severely and severely to curry favor with the emperor, so as long as they find the uncle's head, of course, the servant is a witness, but removing him is evidence of fear! β
"Then ......" Dong Ju finally panicked. Nephew go and reward him greatly? I still have a piece of land, and some book manuscripts, which should be worth some money! β
"Under the five woods, where can you withstand it?"
"Is there really no way out?"
"I couldn't have imagined it." Dong Hong's heart was cold at this time, but he was thinking hard.
"Uncle can know the words of his uncle during the banquet on weekdays, so Zhang Muzhi found his uncle only in the past two days, and since he found it, there is this gap, but it is impossible at all."
Dong Ju was at a loss, everyone knew that when the current Holy Pastor Li Zhaoyi was in the sixth year of Jingyao, he was insulted by thieves not far away and died directly, this is just one of them.
Today's identity is also known to everyone, in order to get reinforcements from the Qiang people, today is just a princess, the Qiang people promised to hire millions of silver and promised to raise 50,000 people who dare to fight, to guard the northern frontier for the country, and promised countless treasures to Huang Hao, this thing has been done.
This is the real big crime, those big people who acquiesced in this matter back then, not only Dong Ju, Fan Jian, but also Qian Zhou and others, all of them want to be ruined, otherwise, it is difficult to understand the hatred in the emperor's heart, and this does not need the emperor to do it, Zhang Muzhi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will consciously do it!
