55. Men are going to fight!
As soon as he learned about this incident, Liu Bei found Lu Zhi and had a discussion with Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi advised Liu Bei not to be impulsive and calm down, because this matter is not just Liu Bei's business.
There are twenty-six people in the history of the local county guards who were implicated, and Han Rong is only one of them, and the eunuchs launched a blow to the twenty-six people in one go, which must have involved a lot.
So there is no need for Liu Bei to jump out first.
"For the teacher, I will find out the news with my acquaintances in the court, Xuande, you and Yuan Benchu have a very good relationship, you go to Yuan Benchu to ask, the eunuch participated in the twenty-six people in one go, and the teacher thinks that Yuan Benchu is difficult to be alone, you can take advantage of the situation."
Lu Zhi suggested that Liu Bei use Yuan Shao's power to help him achieve his goals.
And even if Lu Zhi doesn't say it, Liu Bei will do it.
With his help to Yuan Shao, isn't it time for Yuan Shao to give back to him and show his political energy?
If even Liu Bei's father-in-law, the most valued talent under his command, can't be kept, Yuan Shao's gang will really be scattered.
So at this moment, Yuan Shao must be more anxious than himself.
Liu Bei guessed.
In fact, Liu Bei's guess was right.
Yuan Shao immediately got the list of officials targeted by the eunuchs, saw Han Rong's name, and immediately realized that he couldn't stay out of this matter.
And in addition to Liu Bei, there were several county-level figures who had a good relationship with Zhang Miao who were targeted by the eunuchs, which aroused Zhang Miao's worry and hatred.
The relationship between Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao is also very good, he helped Yuan Shao a lot and gave Yuan Shao a lot of money, but Yuan Shao could not refuse Zhang Miao's request for help.
Now it seems that Yuan Shao must have a big battle with the eunuchs this time, and he must use the forces that can be used to unite with other court forces to carry out a resolute attack on the eunuchs.
Guys are going to fight!
Of course, this is very dangerous.
Due to the emperor's bias, it was difficult for the scholars to confront the eunuchs head-on.
Of course, Yuan Shao's personal strength is not good, and even the Runan Yuan clan is now biased towards eunuchs in terms of political stance, so it is impossible for him to get help from his family.
He can only rely on his own forces, and this behavior is quite dangerous.
The second party disaster is different from the first party disaster.
Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty brought eunuchs as support in order to fight against Liang Ji, and he knew how to balance the forces of the DPRK and China, so he did not blindly favor the eunuchs in the struggle between the scholars and the eunuchs, and he dealt with the eunuchs in the same way as if they violated the law.
Part of the reason for the disaster of the party was that the scholars repeatedly challenged the authority of his laws and regulations, and first killed a large number of eunuchs' families in the local area, which was a kind of jumping face ridicule, so that he could not tolerate the arrogance of the scholars.
In order to fight against the scholars, he also sacrificed the magic weapon, personally worshiped Lao Tzu, and declared that he believed in the study of Huang Lao, so as to cause a trend of folk learning Huang Lao's learning, which was used to combat the arrogance of the scholars.
In Liu Zhi's hands, the scourge of the party can be said to be one of the components of the combination fist to defend the imperial power, which is a means, not an end.
But Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, was different.
He was only twelve years old when he was welcomed into the throne of Luoyang, he was a teenager, and in the palace, he was surrounded by a bureaucracy of eunuchs and eunuchs, large and small, and completely controlled by others.
It can be said that he grew up in the company of the eunuch group, and it is obvious what the eunuchs instilled in him.
When he was in power, he naturally regarded eunuchs as his cronies, and it was normal for people to trust eunuchs.
His trust in eunuchs far exceeded his trust in scholarly officials.
Therefore, the intensity of the second party disaster is far greater than the first one, and the emperor's strength to pull the bias frame is far greater than that of the Han Huan Emperor period, so the party disaster is out of control, and the emperor has become eunuch-led.
At this point, the power of the eunuchs completely overwhelmed the power of the scholars and bureaucrats.
It is always said that the emperor should trust the scholars instead of the eunuchs, and he does not have a backache when he stands and talks.
In August of the second year of Yanxi, Emperor Huan of Han attempted to eradicate the general Liang Ji and suddenly launched a coup d'état.
At that time, Liu Zhi relied on eunuchs as the main political force, and there were only a handful of scholars and officials who were willing to side with the emperor at that time.
There are only Zhang Biao, Guangluxun Yuan Xu, Tingwei Handanyi, Shangshu Ling Yin Xun, Shangshu Servant Huo Zhen and the six Shangshu in Shangshutai.
In the huge imperial court, there were so many scholars and officials, and only a few people were willing to stand in line with the emperor, and even the three princes at that time, Taiwei Hu Guang, Situ Hanxuan, and Sikong Sun Lang, did not dare to enter the palace to escort, but only dared to wait and see the situation, waiting for who won and helped whom.
Under such circumstances, how could the emperor regard scholars as his most important cronies?
Is the emperor willing, but are the scholars willing?
They themselves did not stand in line at the critical time, forcing the emperor to launch a desperate attack, and then they had to share the fruits of victory with a shy face, which was too shameless.
Therefore, Liu Bei believes that aside from the so-called political discipline, most of the political behaviors of senior officials in the imperial court are in line with their own political interests, which is the only constant rule of the political game.
The history books were written by scholars.
The history books were written by Yuan Shao's class.
The struggle between them is only for political gain.
Fairness and justice?
How much is it worth?
So when Liu Bei arrived at Yuan Shao's mansion and was about to ask him for help, Yuan Shao waved his hand and signaled Liu Bei to stop talking.
"Don't disturb Xuande, the eunuch's behavior this time is too bad, and he has killed loyal and good people for no reason, they have already aroused public anger, and Yuan Benchu will never let the eunuch succeed!"
Yuan Shao clenched his fists and smashed it the case.
Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shao's political statement, shed tears to express his gratitude, and then further said that he would let Yuan Shao dispatch and follow his footsteps closely.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied, patted Liu Bei on the shoulder, and expressed his approval.
Yuan Shao decided to fight the eunuchs, but what should he do this time, this is a very serious question, because in the end, his family can't stand up, he can only rely on himself, and what chance of victory can he have on himself?
Yuan Shao summoned Cao Cao, Xu You, Zhang Miao, Liu Bei, He Hao, and his friend Wu Fu and several others to brainstorm and discuss solutions.
Zhang Miao, Xu You, and He Hao respectively proposed several methods, including taking the initiative to impeach the eunuchs, bribing the eunuchs with money, and asking for the help of high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China.
In Liu Bei's view, these methods are either to open the door to thieves or to seek reincarnation, and it is more in everyone's interests to do it than not to do it.
Liu Bei could see it, and of course Yuan Shao could see it, so he denied them one by one, feeling that doing so would only make the eunuch more happy.
"Then it's better to assassinate the eunuch!"
Cao Cao coldly proposed a solution on the side: "As long as the few evil eunuchs led by them are assassinated, they naturally can't push this matter with all their might, then everyone else is safe." ”
