Only by understanding the general trend first can Zhang Meng clearly judge his situation and what to do next. The memories of the original owner of the body came to an abrupt end shortly after leaving the city, and before leaving the city, the soldiers were chaotic and drifting, and their knowledge was extremely limited.

"Brother Shi, after the death of the general, what happened to the situation in the palace?" Zhang Meng pondered slightly, and then asked.

The "great general" is He Jin, the uncle of today's son, and the cause of this palace political turmoil mainly stems from the fire between him and the eunuchs. On the eve of Zhang Meng's departure from Luoyang, He Jin had already died at the hands of the eunuchs.

"Now that the general is dead, Yuan Benchu immediately summoned private soldiers to counterattack the eunuchs, and wiped out all the eunuchs such as Zhao Zhong and Gao Wang." Shi Ah said as he thought about it, and his tone was very deep.

"Benchu" is the word of Yuan Shao, the current lieutenant of Sili.

In the end of the first emperor Liu Hong I, the game between relatives, eunuchs and scholars, the most important political forces in the central political arena, never stopped. He Jin, a general who ascended to the sky with his sister, as a new relative, in order to consolidate his power, the first thing he thought of was to recruit scholars to fight against Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Qi and other powerful eunuchs "Ten Standing Servants".

On the one hand, he lifted the "party shackles" and appointed scholars who had been suppressed by eunuch politics to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion and accumulate military and political prestige.

Yuan Shao, as the rising star of the Runan Yuan family, the top family of scholars, was trusted by He Jin and became He Jin's most important henchman.

"Yuan Shao......"

Zhang Meng was thoughtful. Reading history books in his previous life, Yuan Shao was often a wasted image of a man with great ambitions and talents, but at this time, when he heard Shi A mention his person, it was difficult to hide his respect in his tone.

"The general of the Che Cavalry had an abnormal condition, and he was also killed by Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway, Dong Min, Wu Kuang and others." Shi Ah said, his face glowing red, "I saw with my own eyes that the head of the general was held high with a spear, and the soldiers cheered and paraded to the public. Alas, the scenery was beautiful for a while, and finally ended up like this, sigh, sigh! ”

He Jin's younger brother He Miao was also awarded a high-ranking official and served as a general of the chariot cavalry, but he was both half-sibling with He Jin, and his political ideas were also at odds with He Jin, and he was always suspected of secretly communicating with the eunuchs.

He Miao led part of the Xiyuan Army, and once an incident broke out, it would become a big trouble. Therefore, as soon as He Jin died, Yuan Shao made the first move, and united with his younger brother Huben Zhonglang to Yuan Shu, Fengche Duwei Dong Min and He Jin's other department to get rid of He Miao with thunderous means, and the risk was controlled to a minimum.

"Fan, Xu Ergong and others colluded with the Ten Standing Servants, and Yuan Benchu collaborated with Taifu, and they were all captured." Shi Ah coughed lightly, "This incident was later told by Master when I hid in Master's house. At that time, Yuan Benchu secretly sent someone to ask the master to go out of the mountain to do it on his behalf, but the master refused. ”

Taiwei Fan Ling and Henan Yin Xu Xiang were both officials appointed by the Ten Standing Servants, both of whom were born into high families, but were considered dependent on eunuchs and controlled a considerable number of forbidden troops. After Yuan Shao killed He Miao, in order to prevent these two from being unfavorable to him, he summoned them to meet through the identity of his uncle Yuan Kui, and set up ambushes to carry out beheading operations to prevent trouble.

"Yuan Benchu is a true hero! If there is no him this time, the Han Sheji will inevitably fall into the hands of eunuchs! ”

Zhang Meng heard about Yuan Shao's various deeds, even if he had the prejudice of his previous life, he still had a heroic spirit for no reason and sighed. In the present world, he had only seen Yuan Shao a few times in the past, and he had not had much contact. If he only relied on the impression he got from books in his previous life, he couldn't imagine that the real Yuan Shao still had such a vigorous and resolute side.

Not to mention anything else, just from Shi A's description, it can be seen that Yuan Shao was still in danger after He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants who were the first to attack, calmly planned, and turned passive into active, until he finally turned the tide. Such performances can be called the brightest political star in this Luoyang Rebellion.

In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Yuan Benchu later closed the palace door and ordered that all suspects, regardless of their age, should be killed. More than 2,000 people were implicated and died, and the blood flowed and the corpses piled up like a mountain in the palace. ”

When Zhang Meng heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that he doesn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he kills excessively, which is somewhat contrary to benevolence." "He has the insight of two lives, and he looks at problems more rationally and objectively.

Shi A's face did not change: "I heard Master say that serious illnesses need fierce medicine, and if you don't do this, the fish that slip through the net will be able to survive, and the harm will be endless." Hmph, thieves, pigs and dogs like my Tun Chang and Qu Junhou had better all die in the city, so as not to harm others again. The rhetoric was fierce, and it seemed that he was supportive of Yuan Shao's iron-fisted methods, "The group of eunuchs was all swept away, and before I left the city, I heard that the hundred officials of the imperial court, headed by Taifu Yuan Gong, will welcome the Son of Heaven back to the palace, and it seems that the pattern of the court and China will change greatly." ”

Zhang Meng's heart moved, and he asked, "Where did the Son of Heaven go?" ”

Shi Ah shook his head: "I don't know about this, along the way, there are stragglers everywhere, and I am very uneasy." If the Son of Heaven wants to be safe, he must hide in an extremely hidden place. Then he said, "Zhang Jun, I am a small person, this is all I know, you will just listen." ”

Zhang Meng smiled: "That's enough, thank you Brother Shi." At the same time, he thought secretly: "In this way, the current situation is similar to the original history, and the ten permanent servants were served by the general henchmen led by Yuan Shao. It's a pity, it's a pity, no matter He Jin or Shi Chang, he should have been the protagonist of this incident, but in the end, they all played a supporting role, and the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, and the final winner was Yuan Shao, uh, how do I remember......"

At this time, Luo Fu also walked over, and Shi Ah looked around and asked, "Huh?" Why don't you see the eldest brother, still working in the fields? ”

Shi Lao Yuan replied with red eyes: "Your eldest brother has already left." ”

"Gone?" Shi Ah opened his mouth wide, "What's the matter, just leave......"

"I accidentally fell into the water a month ago, I was infected with a heavy wind and cold, and I didn't get better for a few days, and then I couldn't hold on......" Shi Lao Yuan thought of the past, and was sad in vain, "Alas, if the township envoy is still there, your eldest brother will not be like this." ”

Now, several years have passed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion that shook the world, and most of the Yellow Turbans in various states and counties have been quelled, and only some remnants of the party are left, and the momentum is not as good as before. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many of the party members disguised themselves as healers to heal the sick with water, spread morality, and develop followers.

When Shi Ah heard this, he felt even more guilty and bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhang Meng leaned over and picked up the ring knife, looked at it a few times, handed it to Shi A, and praised: "It's really a good knife, put it away!" ”

Shi A nodded slightly: "This knife was given to me by the master......"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Lao Yuan said coldly: "After three years, you go home now, it seems that the 'killing technique' has been learned?" ”

Unexpectedly, Shi A's head shook like a rattle: "Not successful." ”

"How can a husband make a promise and go back on his word?" Mrs. Shi's attitude was very serious, "At the beginning, I allowed you to leave home to study, not to ask for anything else, but to ask you to learn something and gain a skill to stand in the world." Now that nothing has been accomplished, what face do you have to go home? ”

Shi A said earnestly: "Mother doesn't know anything, the child goes to Beijing to know the size of the world; Worshipping the master, Fang Ming is the righteousness of the sword. After three years of hard study, what I learned was not 'killing art', but 'living art'. ”

Zhang Meng was quite interested and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Shi A stretched out a finger and stroked the back of the knife: "In this way, the knife can not only kill, but also live." It is not the knife that kills, but the thoughts in the heart. Killing people is only a thought, and the three years I have been with my master in Beijing have not so much been about practicing martial arts, but about cultivating my mind and nature. ”

Zhang Meng said with a smile: "Brother Shi's words, listening to the profound truth, mysterious and mysterious, it is not like the words of a person who practices martial arts, but it is like the opinion of a well-known scholar with profound knowledge." ”

Shi A held his head high, and his words were proud: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, the family teacher does often walk around the palace and has good friends with many great Confucian scholars. He believed in the principle of 'driving the sword with the heart' all his life, which may be combined with scriptural allusions, but it is not known. As he spoke, his expression became more solemn, "Master once said that killing one person or two people is far from being called a 'killing technique', the real 'killing technique' is the ability and courage to kill tens of millions of people with one word, and only those who can do this can be called ten thousand enemies." At that time, I realized that all kinds of brave and ruthless battles in the township before were at most only the courage of a horseman, and they could not be elegant. Ahem, I am not ashamed to learn what 'killing art', I am really a frog at the bottom of the well! ”

Zhang Meng said angrily: "Master Venerable is an insightful master, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit and learn a thing or two." ”

Shi Ah stroked his palms and smiled: "The tutor has a heroic personality and makes friends, so I can recommend it on my behalf at that time." ”

"Who's there?"

The two talked a few more words, and Zhang Meng suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be peeping outside the hospital, and immediately shouted and asked.
