Chapter 14: The Ten Constant Servants (Seeking to Read and Collect)

The Korean style is already full, and the alcohol content of this late Han wine is not high, so there is only a feeling of satiety, but there is no drunkenness.

The fire at the bottom of the bronze vessel was gone, and Han Shi straightened his waist, and then continued to kneel and sit down.

"Therefore, if the eldest brother wants to achieve a career, he must get rid of the title of eunuch, so, like this, the eldest brother will kill the first of the ten permanent servants."

The Ten Standing Servants refer to the group of eunuchs under Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty in ancient China, and its leaders were Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. The ten permanent servants mainly include Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, Song Dian and other twelve eunuchs, all of whom served as regular attendants.

In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the ten permanent servants refer to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Jian Shuo, Cheng Kuang, Xia Yun, Guo Sheng and other ten people.

And the reason why Han Shi suggested that Cao Cao kill Zhang Rang was very simple, and Zhang Rang was the leader.

Moreover, it was Zhang Rang who instigated Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty to set up the "Four Gardens to Sell Officials" and openly sell officials to collect money. In addition, a "naked tour hall" was set up in the west garden of the Han Palace, which was specially used for the lewd pleasure of the Emperor Ling, which made the Emperor Lingdi laugh and laugh.

Zhang Rang even "transgressed" the dynasty system, built his own manor to the palace higher, and was afraid that Emperor Ling would find out, so he tried to deceive Emperor Ling with "the Son of Heaven cannot ascend, and he will suffer a catastrophe if he ascends".

"It was Zhang Rang who instigated the emperor to start a precedent of selling officials, and bewitched the emperor and called him his father.

The Korean style looked decisive, which made Cao Cao not slow down for a while, and the Korean style was converted too quickly.

I also heard the Korean style mention cooking punishment, although this kind of punishment has not been abolished, but it has not been used for a long time because it is too cruel.

"Now, it is too difficult to kill Zhang Rang, and now although the saint is weak and sick, he is still stable. And Zhang Rangshen's holy favor, if he kills Zhang Rang, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Cao Cao didn't continue, and was interrupted by the Korean style.

"It's not today, although there is a rebellion today, but it is only a temporary small chaos, and only when the emperor dies will the world enter a big chaos. When the time comes, big brother, kill Zhang Rang, make a name, and the heroes of the world will follow. ”

"Brother Xian, as follows, the old general Zhu Jun, who is ready to take advantage of the military power in his hands, will unite with the ministers of the DPRK and China to impeach the ten permanent servants when he returns to Beijing. I don't know, the virtuous brother thinks that this is a little sure. ”

Cao Cao listened to the Korean words, the cottage was opened, and then asked what Zhu Jun said privately today.

Zhu Jun and Cao Cao can also be regarded as mentors and friends, so Zhu Jun did not hide it because Cao Cao was from a family of eunuchs, but made up his mind and directly asked Cao Cao's opinion.

"Thirty percent."

Han Shi is not very optimistic about Zhu Jun, because Zhu Jun is really a big man, so the military advice must only be impeached, not directly kill the ten permanent servants, so even if the ten permanent servants are impeached this time, the ten permanent servants will definitely have a chance to be used again, and Zhu Jun will definitely end up dead at that time.

"Why?"

Cao Cao also didn't have much expectations for Zhu Jun's thoughts, because something similar happened when he was an official in the court.

It was the third year of Guanghe (180), and Cao Cao was recruited by the imperial court and appointed as a councilor. Previously, the general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan plotted to kill the eunuchs, but they were killed by the eunuchs instead of doing so. Cao Cao's letter stated that Dou Wu and others were framed for official integrity, resulting in a situation where traitors were full of evil and evil, but loyal and good people were not reused, and his words were sincere, but they were not adopted by Emperor Ling of Han. Later, Cao Cao wrote many times to admonish, although occasionally effective, but the Eastern Han Dynasty became increasingly corrupt.

Therefore, when the Korean style said that this was a troubled time, although Cao Cao was surprised, he was not too shocked, and even he thought that the words of the Korean style were full of reality, and the troubled times in the Korean style were in the near future.

"Zhu Jun is brave and strategic, and he is a full general, so he can quickly exterminate the Yellow Turban Army when it revolts. But, because of this, he is only a purely military man, not a politician. And what is a politician, my eldest brother and I are politicians. ”

Zhu Jun is indeed like this, in fact, the three pillars of the late Han Dynasty are all such people.

Since the Yellow Turban Army uprising, they have basically disappeared into the long river of history, they could have raised troops to suppress Dong Zhuo after that, but they didn't, because there was no military order to appoint, they were just a meritorious man, that's all, they couldn't go against their duties to raise troops.

"Then, Brother Xian and I, do we need to comfort Zhu Jun a lot, so that Zhu Jun will not be killed?"

Cao Cao asked.

"General Zhu Jun is righteous, even if it is because Zhu Jun saved the 100,000 people in this Wancheng, I will try my best to comfort him, but now it seems that it is not necessary."

Korean-style conjecture, this Zhu Jun must have confessed to Cao Cao in private, and came to ask for his opinion.

"Not necessary? Where does this come from? ”

Cao Cao flashed a hint of surprise.

"Because, General Zhu Jun can't even enter this Luoyang."

"Huh?"

Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

"The ministers of the DPRK and China, led by the Ten Standing Attendants, made every effort to impeach General Zhu Jun this time. And now that General Zhu Jun is about to return to the court, those ministers of the DPRK and China led by the ten permanent servants are naturally afraid of General Zhu Jun. Therefore, I am afraid that as soon as General Zhu Jun returns to Luoyang, this military power will be immediately withdrawn. ”

Zhu Jun, who has no military power, is like a toothless tiger who can't turn up any strong winds and waves.

Of course, Zhu Jun insisted on going his own way, insisting on uniting with the ministers of the DPRK and China to impeach the Ten Standing Attendants, and even assassinate the Ten Standing Attendants, and the result would inevitably be no different from that of the great general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan.

And General Zhu Jun, who has no military power, how can he be impeached again? General Zhu Jun is a smart man, not a reckless man. ”

After Han Shi finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's just that I'm afraid that General Zhu Jun will fall into a trick and a generation of loyal ministers will fall, so I want to return to Luoyang with General Zhu Jun. Do your best to save General Zhu Jun in order to repay General Zhu Jun for saving the lives of 100,000 people in Wancheng. ”

As soon as the Korean style said this, Cao Cao made up his mind in his heart, and he was determined to keep the Korean style by his side, such affectionate and righteous, as well as talented people in the world, are really rare in the world, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend.

Han Shi and Cao Cao talked about some trivial matters later, I heard that Han Shi has not yet married, Cao Cao mentioned that his friend Cai Yong, who has a daughter Cai Yan in the family, has now reached the age of marriage, and just wanted to talk about it, but he didn't expect Wei Chi Gong to shout outside. "My lord, Lord Taishou has summoned you to go."

The two realized that it was already dawn.

"This long talk with the virtuous brother made me suddenly enlightened."

Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Han Shi interrupted.

"Big brother, this Cai Yan is known as a talented woman, I am really happy."

Cai Yan, also known as Cai Wenji, is a big beauty.

"Hahaha"

Cao Cao laughed twice. "When I return to Luoyang, I will definitely get my wish."
