In the current court, Dong Zhuo and the princes led by the Yuan family and the Yang family are fighting for each other, and the struggle for power and profit is becoming more and more intense.

In order to be able to completely control the court, Dong Zhuo began to consider accepting a part of the Liangzhou scholars into the court to replace some of the "inactive" ministers, so as to effectively rule the Han dynasty.

But the problem is that since ancient times, from a country to a family, personnel power has always been the most important part of a collective, and now Dong Zhuo has snatched financial and military power in the capital, which is just in the eyes of the Kwantung clan.

After all, this kind of power, although it seems to have a huge impact on the surface, as long as it is planned properly, it is not impossible to get it back, and the speed is fast, and a coup d'état can be snatched back in one night.

But personnel power is different, this thing belongs to the long stream, relying on time precipitation to accumulate, once it is sprinkled, it is not so easy to take it back.

The Yuan family and the Yang family can sit back and watch Dong Zhuo snatch military power and financial power under their noses... But human rights don't!

As soon as Li Ru brought up this matter in the court, he was immediately strongly opposed by Yuan Kui and a group of courtiers.

At present, Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven are on Dong Zhuo's side, they hug Dong Zhuo's thighs tightly, and unswervingly support all of Dong Zhuo's proposals.

In the eyes of the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He at this time, everything Dong Zhuo said was politically correct.

Although the two of them are indeed incomparable with the Manchu Dynasty ministers in terms of hard power, the Son of Heaven is after all the representative of the righteousness of the world, and his standing in line makes Dong Zhuo full of confidence.

But even if there is a Son of Heaven standing in line, the ministers will resolutely not let you this time!

Let's fight to the end!

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not agree, if Dong Zhuo insisted on a big change of blood in the DPRK or in the locality, he would have to implement the means of forcible promotion, but once it was forcibly promoted, the consequences were self-evident, then he had to use the knife!

It's likely to kill a floating corpse all over the field.

Although this is commonplace for Dong Zhuo, Dong Xiangguo doesn't want to do it until he is angry.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, that is, at this juncture, the courtiers of the Qingzhou Department of Literature and Literature jointly signed a letter to the Son of Heaven on behalf of the court, saying that Liu Jian was stationed in Licheng on the border of Qingzhou, without the slightest enterprising heart, and he did not send troops to fight the Yellow Turban thieves at all, and asked the imperial court to urge Liu Jian to act quickly to eliminate the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and solve the crisis in Qingzhou.

The secretary of the Qingzhou Department of Literature and Literature immediately wrote the song and presented it to Shangshutai, but after the Son of Heaven got the song, he directly transferred it to Dong Zhuo and asked him to approve it on his behalf.

After Soshu transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the result can be imagined.

All the documents against Liu Jian were all refuted by Dong Zhuo, and the reason was very simple - Liu Jian went to Qingzhou to quell thieves on the orders of the imperial court, and he was still a fake Jieyue, so the imperial court had no reason to interfere with his use of troops, just ask him for the result at the end.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo explained to all the courtiers the great truth of "the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch abroad" from a professional military perspective.

In the military field, at present, there is no one in the court of Luoyang who is Dong Zhuo's opponent, and no one can refute him in the military field.

Coupled with the support of the Son of Heaven, Liu Jian's "Tun Bing Qingzhou does not want to forge ahead" was lightly taken away.

After this incident, a messenger from Liu Jian quietly came to Luoyang again and conveyed Liu Jian's "good intentions" to Dong Zhuo.

This conversation lasted for two hours.

And after Liu Jian's envoy left, Dong Zhuo immediately went to the Forbidden Palace and sincerely admonished the Son of Heaven Liu Bian, asking the Son of Heaven to re-establish the eunuch team!

Since the fight between He Jin and the eunuch group, there is no eunuch in the imperial city of Luoyang, and now the sleeping food of the Empress Dowager He and the Son of Heaven are served by the palace maids, and the guards of the imperial city are the honor guard Yu Linlang, although it can still operate normally, but for the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He, it always feels like something is missing.

Yes, the less eunuchs are the eunuchs!

And the eunuch group, for more than 100 years, has been an indispensable existence of the royal family.

Imperial power needs to have agents, and these agents are relatives and eunuchs respectively.

What relatives should do is now all contracted by Dong Zhuo alone, but the person who took over Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and even Cao Jie's positions back then is not at the moment.

And Liu Jian's envoy, this time on behalf of Liu Jian to enter Beijing, stated to Dong Zhuo such a thing.

Dong Zhuo was deeply impressed with this matter.

He really needs help.

So he decided to reorganize the eunuch group.

But that's easier said than done.

If he found a group of people to send to the inner palace as eunuchs, this matter would not be difficult for Dong Zhuo, he would be able to cut off a thousand people's small chatters overnight and send them to the palace for Liu Wei to be an inner servant.

However, the key problem is that no matter how many fresh eunuchs he sends into the palace, at most he is just serving the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager He, and doing the work of subordinates, so that these eunuchs can grow rapidly in a short period of time and become people who can reach a political alliance with him Dong Zhuo, which is really unrealistic.

At the very least, there must be one or two, experienced eunuch leaders, to train these new eunuchs for him, and form a political alliance with himself as quickly as possible!

But when He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants were fighting, the eunuchs in Luoyang City were all dead, and the eunuchs with political experience either fed the butcher's knives of the sergeants or the big fish in Luoshui, and now there is really no one to give him Dong Zhuo to worry about.

If it is the place of subordination, it would be good that there is still a eunuch from the Liu Hong period.

But the sky pays off, in this conversation with Liu Jian's envoy, Dong Zhuo really knew that a living eunuch existed, and this person did not only exist in Liu Hong's period...... Even when Liu Zhi was alive, this person was already in a high position in the palace.

This person is the most trusted eunuch when the first emperor Liu Hong was alive - Lu Qiang!

Dong Zhuo also knew this person's reputation, and he also knew that Lu Qiang's loyalty to the Han family was far stronger than that of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Cao Jie and others.

It can even be said that Lu Qiang has almost no selfishness, and his heart has always been on the emperor.

After some investigation and learning about Lu Qiang's residence, Dong Zhuo sent Li Ru to personally go to the place where Lu Qiang was hiding on the outskirts of Beijing, invited him back to Luoyang, and personally met him at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Both of them are a lot of age, and they are both older generations who have gone through three dynasties, and they have seen the wind and waves, and they can't help but sigh when they meet.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo said that he wanted to ask Lu Qiang to return to the palace and serve as the permanent attendant and lead the Great Changqiu.

Lu Qiang knew Dong Zhuo's intentions, he wanted to cooperate with him and deal with the Gongqing clan together.

But right now, the world is already in turmoil, and Lu Qiang, who is a loyal minister of the Han family, even if he knows that Dong Zhuo himself is not a good cake, in order to ensure that the weak Son of Heaven is not overshadowed by the princess of the Wang family, he also agreed to Dong Zhuo's request.

After all, if there was no Dong Zhuo, Liu Wei's mother and son would have been abolished by Yuan Kui by now!

However, Lu Qiang was somewhat puzzled, and he asked Dong Zhuo how he came up with the idea of uniting with him.

Dong Zhuo laughed, and did not shy away from it, and directly told him that he was "reminded" by Liu Jian's envoy that he had made a special trip to form an alliance with Lu Qiang.

When Lu Qiang heard the name of "Liu Jian", he suddenly realized.

……

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo led Lu Qiang into the palace and took him to meet the Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei.

Lu Qiang had some kindness to their mother and son back then, and this kindness was in the critical season of Empress Dowager He, so Empress Dowager He's impression of Lu Qiang can be said to be well-deserved.

Seeing Lu Qiang, Empress Dowager He didn't say anything, she immediately decided - the leader of the eunuchs in the palace is him!

With the support of Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager He, Lu Qiang naturally became the person in charge of the inner palace.

At the same time, he also became Liu Wei's spokesperson in the palace.

After the ups and downs of life, Lu Qiang's personality has changed a little.

He saw that blindly helping the emperor to curry favor with the scholars could not make the world stable, on the contrary, the more they showed favor to them, the more they intensified.

This good old man, Lu Qiang can't go now.

Perhaps, what Cao Jie and Zhang Rang did back then was right!

It's no wonder that Lu Qiang's psychology will change.

After such a big change, no one can be indifferent to whoever is replaced.

So, Lu Qiang directly gave Dong Zhuo a list.

On that list, there are cronies and eunuch protégés who were placed in the local area when the ten permanent servants were alive, and some officials who went to the local place to be appointed through the Hongdu Academy.

For more than a decade under the party's rule, the eunuchs on behalf of the emperor had been competing with the nobles for the authority of the states and counties.

Although the matter of the party has imprisoned most of the scholars, it is still necessary to govern the world with capable and knowledgeable people, and most of the capable people in the Han Dynasty are scholars.

Therefore, to this day, among the more than 100 counties in the Han Dynasty, more than seventy percent of the local taishou, county officials, and county magistrates who hold real power are still scholars, and most of these people are students of modern literature and classics.

But the eunuchs have not worked in vain with the support of the emperor over the years, and more than thirty percent of the more than 100 counties are protégés of the ten permanent servants.

A small number of the cronies arranged by the Ten Standing Servants have defected from the scholar group, but most of them are the children of the clan who are related to them, or the children of the poor family.

After the ten permanent servants were killed, the next step for the ministers of the court was to eradicate all the officials placed by the ten permanent servants in the locality, but who would have thought that Dong Zhuo came to the capital and set off a big war to protect the emperor and oppose the scholars, so that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had no time to deal with the remaining party left by the eunuchs in the local area for a while.

And now, for the nobles, the disadvantages have appeared.

Lu Qiang told Dong Zhuo that if he wants human rights, he doesn't need to worry, first collect the local forces left by these eunuchs for his own use, and after he has established the foundation, he will wrestle with them!

As for Liu Jian, let him and the other princes and kings of the Liu clan develop their forces outside with peace of mind, let him weaken the world's noble clans outside, and weaken the enemy by him and Dong Zhuo inside.

In Lu Qiang's view, a vibrant and peaceful era is about to come to this world after the successful cooperation of the three of them.
