This is the difference between eunuchs and scholars.

Eunuchs have no real descendants, and corruption is mostly for personal enjoyment and pension, and some will leave a part for the emperor, and some emperors get much more than eunuchs.

And the scholars are mostly burdened by the family, and all they think about is the survival of the family, and they must not give the emperor as much as the eunuchs.

Therefore, as long as an emperor can properly control the power of eunuchs, no matter what the state is, at least the emperor will not be short of money.

But if it is an emperor who is not good at controlling the power of eunuchs, life will not be easy.

So the emperor always liked eunuchs a little more.

With this harmony, Zhang Rang asked Liu Hong for permission according to Liu Bei's suggestion, dispatched part of the garrison of Luoyang City and almost the entire Dongyuan armed spies, and began to fully arrest the "Taiping Daoists" in Luoyang City.

This action happened very quickly, and Zhang Rang almost put out the energy that was ahead of the times to devote himself to this action, and on the night of February 23, the seventh year of Guanghe, he took advantage of the curfew to launch a full-scale operation.

One night later, more than 1,000 suspected Taiping Daoists were arrested in Luoyang City, and there were about 300 houses and residences controlled by the army and Dongyuan spies, and 37 pairs of armor, 201 bows and crossbows, and more than 50 boxes of arrows were found on the spot.

Armor, bows and crossbows are strictly controlled and forbidden in any era, and private individuals can't have them under any circumstances, so it's okay not to be discovered, but once they are discovered, there is nothing to say, the big hat of rebellion is directly buttoned up, and you can't be killed.

Zhang Rang thought that he would need to spend some effort to find these key incriminating evidence, but he got it in one night.

What made Zhang Rang even more excited was that Ma Yuanyi, Zhang Jiao's disciple and an important figure in Taiping Dao, was also caught by him.

After this person was caught, he probably knew that he had no hope of survival, and he was bent on death, without saying a word, Zhang Rang personally supervised and sent people to torture him with all kinds of torture, and he tortured him to survive and die, destroying his psychological defense.

Then Ma Yuanyi said everything he knew with snot, tears and feces and urine, just asking for a good time.

Zhang Rang was then shocked and surprised to learn of Ma Yuanyi's plan to plot an incident with the entire Taiping Dao.

is really the same as Liu Bei guessed, Taiping Dao has a shocking conspiracy to rebel across the country, and they are close to success.

The original time of the uprising was the fifth day of the third month of the seventh year of Guanghe, and they agreed to rise up together in the eight states of the country to jointly subvert the Han court.

At that time, their 36 armed forces will rise together, and hundreds of thousands of Taiping Daoists will rise up, and the situation is simply unimaginable.

I don't know what's going on, the three Zhang Jiao brothers died violently in Jizhou in December last year, and Ma Yuanyi didn't know about it from any source.

He didn't know.

He even heard about it in Luoyang, and no one came to tell him.

But I have to say that during that time, there was indeed a problem with his contact with Jizhou, he was uneasy, and was about to send someone back to ask what was going on, but he learned that the Taiping Road Incident broke out in Jizhou and Zhang Jiao was dead.

Of course, he didn't believe that Zhang Jiao was dead, but there was no reason for Jizhou to be the first to break out, and if something really happened in Jizhou, then Zhang Jiao's death was indeed a good explanation.

So, what the hell is going on?

When people were panicking, Ma Yuanyi also realized that his situation was very bad.

Some people were ready to leave, and Ma Yuanyi could certainly leave, but his loyalty to Zhang Jiao made him not do so.

He felt that no matter what happened, he couldn't be a traitor who escaped from the battle, and he had to support the great cause of the great sage and good teacher, even if the great sage and good teacher were really unexpected, it was the same.

So Ma Yuanyi decided to call on the remaining Taiping Daoists to continue to act.

But for some reason, the actions of the imperial court always seem to be one step ahead of him.

He contacted the believers among the eunuchs to prepare for the internal explosion, but before anyone could be sent, the eunuchs began to investigate strictly, and then began to purge, and all those who had close contacts with Taiping Dao were arrested, and it seems that a lot of people died.

The palace was gone, and he tried to find the officials and the powerful families who had talked well in the past, hoping to get some help from them.

Needless to say, this group of people is busy cutting off Taiping Dao, where can they take care of Ma Yuanyi?

Ma Yuanyi had no choice, he was ready to make a desperate bet, and he was ready to fight to the death with the hardcore Dao people in Luoyang, but before the day of the action, the court took the lead.

Ma Yuanyi and more than 20 leaders of the organization were swept away in a room in the northeast of Luoyang City, and a riot that had not yet been launched came to an end.

I have to say that Ma Yuanyi is brave enough, but Zhang Rang's favorite psychopath is brave people, and he likes to torture some people who seem to be very strong to the point of psychological collapse, and he is addicted.

It would be great if you could still get credit along the way.

The things that Ma Yuanyi explained were handed over to Liu Hong by the ecstatic Zhang Rang, not only the fact that Taiping Dao was preparing to launch a national uprising, but also the list of guys who were very close to Taiping Dao in Luoyang City was also sorted out by Zhang Rang and handed over to Liu Hong.

Of course, the list belonging to the eunuch group was disposed of internally by Zhang Rang, and the rest were all from the scholars' side, as well as some local level heroes.

After Liu Hong learned about it, he was furious and broke a lot of things in the palace, including a porcelain bowl that he liked very much, which was also broken by him, and in anger, Liu Hong issued two orders.

First, the Taiping Dao and Taiping Dao related forces were comprehensively cleaned up nationwide, and he would rather kill a thousand wrong people than let go of one, and he wanted the Taiping Dao to be physically wiped out in the world.

Second, it was ordered that Dongyuan begin a comprehensive investigation and audit of people related to Taiping Road within the central court.

"Whether it's the ancient literature school or the modern literature school, check it for me, check it for me! Don't let any of them go! ”

Liu Hong drank angrily with red eyes, then took a few sips of water, calmed down a little, and made a supplement.

"According to my observation, the current situation, the ancient literature school is strong, and the modern literature school is relatively weak, remember, you can't favor one over the other, no matter how you fight, you can't let the situation be unbalanced, and Dongyuan can't overly suppress the scholars, it's best to provoke infighting between the two sides, Father, you know what to do."

Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, then agreed, and then turned around and left to prepare for errands.

The moment he turned around, Zhang Rang suddenly felt a little chill behind him.

Liu Hong has changed, although he hasn't changed much, but he has changed.

In the past, Liu Hong paid more attention to material enjoyment and would not pay too much attention to the government, unless the government took the initiative to find him, he would never take the initiative to find the government.

But now it seems a little different.

In the past, Liu Hong would never say such a thing, and Liu Hong seemed to have become a little like a normal emperor.

This is not a good thing for the group of eunuchs who hold the imperial power on their behalf.

However, at the moment of the great enemy, huge changes are ahead, and Zhang Rang has no time to take care of this matter for the time being.

He hurried out to get ready for his errands.

As he ran, he suddenly came back to his senses.

In recent times, the number of women who have been summoned by Liu Hong seems to be a little more than in previous months.

A few months ago, Liu Hong seized the time to run into Taixue, and the women in the palace complained, and some eunuchs who made money by pulling relationships with women in the palace also complained.

It's been a lot better this month, it seems that Liu Hong himself is also uncomfortable, he goes to Taixue less often, and has more fun.

Thinking like this, the corners of Zhang Rang's mouth suddenly curled up again.

Liu Hong, it's still that Liu Hong.

He has changed, but not completely.
