This Zhang Shou is none other than His Majesty the Emperor of the current Dacheng Imperial Court, Emperor Zhende Zhang Houzhao.

Since the ancient pre-Qin, the world has been divided and merged, and the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty have enjoyed the country for 422 years. Liu Chan, Liu Chen, Liu Chengqi three generations of the first kings worked hard, and finally broke the Wei and Wu states, and rebuilt the Han Dynasty, because the last capital was still in Chang'an, so later generations called the Later Han.

It's a pity that the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty ended here, the world was in turmoil in the 314th year of the Later Han Dynasty, and Chen Guang of Taiyuan Chen raised troops for 22 years, after all, he unified the world, the country name was Chen, and the country surname was one.

It's a pity that only the third generation died, and then experienced the Tang Dynasty, the Qian Dynasty, and the Western Dynasty established by the grassland peoples, when the Han people were bullied, there were great heroes who came into being, raised troops as beggars, expelled the Tartars in just 13 years, rebuilt China, unified the world, ascended the throne and called the emperor, and established the country as Dacheng.

This person is naturally Zhang Zhang, the ancestor of Zhang Houzhao.

After the dynasty continued to be passed down, after more than 200 years, two years ago, Zhang Houzhao's father fell into the water and died, so the 15-year-old prince, but also the only son of the first emperor Zhang Houzhao ascended the throne and called the emperor, the year name Zhende.

Although Emperor Zhende has only been on the throne for two years, he has already shown signs of fainting.

For example, although the first emperor arranged 7 auxiliary ministers for him, all of them were world-famous bachelors and Qing officials, but Emperor Zhende didn't like them all, treated them very disrespectfully, and liked to issue decrees indiscriminately, forcing the 7 auxiliary ministers to resign collectively three times.

At the same time, I don't like to read, you must know that the people who give lectures to this Emperor Zhende are all famous Hanlin bachelors. Such a good teacher, but the emperor doesn't like to listen to lectures, and uses all kinds of means to skip class, if it weren't for the pressure of the queen mother, I'm afraid all lectures would have been stopped a long time ago.

What's even more terrifying is that it is said that the Emperor Zhende once said to the eunuchs around him that Confucianism is a liar, and that Confucius Sage may be a real sage, but his disciples are all unfilial people, and all the ideas of Confucius Sage have been changed and become a piece of garbage, so the current Confucianism should be completely discarded, and then the Jixia School Palace should be built, so that this dynasty can reproduce the prosperity of a hundred schools of thought or something.

Good fellow, there is no doubt about you.

If the above is okay, His Majesty the Emperor is just tossing in the palace and can't get in the way of anything below. But as the emperor became more and more favored, a eunuch named Liu Zhongxian not only put him in charge of the celebrant eunuch, but also put the embroidered clothes guard in charge of him.

In the end, even the 200,000 troops of the three major battalions in the capital were all handed over to Liu Zhongxian, Liu Zhongxian instantly became the first eunuch in the world, mastered the incomparably huge power, and then began to toss all over the world, a large number of honest and honest officials were persecuted by Liu Zhongxian, and the eunuchs began to run rampant in the government and the opposition.

Many loyal ministers who have the world in their hearts and are full of enthusiasm can't help but shout in their hearts when they see this situation, "The country is out of demons, and the world will die!" ”

However, at this time, the demon of the country was not in the capital at the moment, but led a group of embroidered guards all the way from the capital to Nanjing, and began to spread the net all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he wanted to turn the entire Jiangnan upside down.

But the miraculous thing is that the officials who stayed behind in Nanjing did not interfere with this, and seemed to be quite cooperative, and even asked officials from all over the south to fully cooperate with the actions of the embroidered guards, which really confused many people.

Could it be that Qingliu is still in the same stream as the eunuchs?

However, as time went by, a secret news still spread, that is, His Majesty the current Emperor Zhende actually slipped away from the capital quietly, and also played the opera section of the fish and dragon white costume and the private interview of the micro service, ran to the south of the Yangtze River, and disappeared.

And Liu Zhongxian came to Nanjing, he was ordered by the current Queen Mother and the hundred officials in the capital to find His Majesty the Emperor, and then take the Emperor back to Beijing.

Hearing this news, the officials in Jiangnan suddenly realized. No wonder those ministers in Nanjing will be obedient to Liu Zhongxian, a traitor, and try their best to cooperate, it turned out that it was to find the emperor and stabilize the overall situation of the world, which is really difficult for these upright Qing officials and loyal ministers.

It is very touching that they have forced themselves to join the traitors.

So, what is Liu Zhongxian, the first traitor of the Zhende Dynasty, doing at this moment?

He is practicing calligraphy, and the words are written very well, at a glance you know that it is the foundation of the Han Dynasty Immortal Wang Xizhi, who was recruited by the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty three times, but refused three times, and finally ran to Zhongnan Mountain to cultivate into an immortal Wang Xizhi, who was known as a book saint by later generations, and almost all people in later generations will copy Wang Xizhi's words, which can be called the teacher of all the people who learn words in the world.

And Liu Zhongxian's first Wang Xizhi's words have been written very transparently, in the words of today's calligrapher Dong Qichang, this character has reached the level of Wang Xizhi's ten nine, and he is far inferior, and he can be called the first person in this dynasty in calligraphy.

Then Dong Qichang was scolded for being a gelding dog, and he smoothly became a member of the eunuch party, but those who have really seen Liu Zhongxian's character have to admit that this character has entered a very clever situation, and the first person in this dynasty may not dare, but there are always the top three positions.

And Liu Zhongxian also relied on this good hand to get into the eyes of Emperor Jiqing, and later sent to the East Palace to teach the prince to practice calligraphy, which established the initial relationship with the prince and became the prince's most trusted eunuch, and he has the glory of being nine thousand years old today.

"Chitose! Chitose! A hurried shout sounded in the room, and the tip of Liu Zhongxian's pen shook slightly, and then he completely tore apart the life of the half-moon fasting that had been handed down from the Great Dry period.

"If you don't tell our family any big news, this governor will let you enter the palace to accompany our family to practice calligraphy!" Liu Zhongxian said in his thin voice.

"This is the news from Chuzhou urgently from the commander of the embroidered guard!" The man hurriedly knelt down in fright and said, and then handed over a fire paint seal in his hand to Liu Zhongxian.

"Chuzhou! Your Majesty! Your Majesty remembers the old slave! Liu Zhongxian's face changed greatly, he snatched the urgent letter in his hand, tore off the fire paint and looked at it a few times, and his face suddenly became strange.

Liu Zhongxian originally thought that his majesty missed him, and at the same time he was bored in Chuzhou, so he called himself to accompany him, but he didn't expect that what was sent was such a letter, and he actually asked himself to exonerate a death row prisoner.

But the reason why Liu Zhongxian was able to become nine thousand years old was naturally because he knew very well who was the Long Live Lord.

So although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, he still ordered as soon as possible, "Go and invite me to bring the incense!" ”

Xiangguang, the full name is Xiangguang Jushi, that is, Dong Qichang mentioned above, the word Xuanzai, originally it stands to reason that Liu Zhongxian can directly call Dong Qichang.

However, he called Xiangguang Jushi, Dong Qichang's self-title, which reflected Liu Zhongxian's respect for Dong Qichang, after all, Dong Qichang was the only civil official who could handle Liu Zhongxian, a 9,000-year-old eunuch.

And about getting a death row prisoner out to be an official, Liu Zhongxian didn't understand, so he could only ask Dong Qichang!
