"After more than 90 years of ups and downs, the old ministers of the four dynasties were loyal, but in the end they ended up with such a result.

Hey...."

Thinking of the previous conversation, Zhao Qi sighed silently about the past of his life, and Liu Xie also sighed silently.

When he was in his thirties, Zhao Qi thought that he was going to die, and left a generous and sad last words to die peacefully, ready to meet the judgment of the history book on himself.

But after that day, Zhao Qi's health was getting better day by day, and everyone thought that it was God's mercy that allowed this iron-clad courtier to continue to shine.

As everyone knows, this is the biggest joke that the sky has played on him.

After the age of thirty-three, Zhao Qi, who had experienced life and death, did not completely see through life and death in the world, and he began to cherish his life even more.

Yongxing was conquered by the three dukes in the second year, and then he was favored by the general Bahu, but because of his almost undying character with the eunuchs, he chose to resign from the position of the county magistrate of Pi on the day that his brother Zuo Sheng, who served Zuo Yi, succeeded to the county guard of Hedong, and returned directly to Luoyang.

made the middle attendant Zuo Yi and the Hedong Taishou Zuo Sheng lose a little light on their faces.

After that, he repeatedly scolded Tang Xuan, the elder brother of Tang Heng, the middle attendant, in public, and offended the famous middle attendant cleanly.

After Tang Xuan was appointed Jing Zhaoyin, Zhao Qi immediately fled, but his clansmen and relatives were killed by Tang Xuan because of this incident, so it was not miserable.

From then on, Zhao Qi began to take his nephew, Zhao Jian, who was also a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, to start a miserable escape career.

He fled all the way from Luoyang, fled many times, and finally let Sun Song discover the clue in Beihai, and then hid in the wall for several more years.

In the narrow cracks, it is the place where Zhao Qi has lived for several years, there is no sunshine and wind and rain, some are just green lanterns and bamboo slips, and some are just full of grief and indignation, and finally he created 32 "Ertun Songs" in a few years.

From the first year of Yanxi to the ninth year of Yanxi, it took him eight and a half years to usher in the second expedition of the Three Princes, and set out to resist the increasingly powerful Xianbei sandalwood acacia.

Just when he was ready for everything... When the disaster of the party broke out, he was deposed and imprisoned, and while in prison, he made some contributions to the annexation of the state.

Regardless of the final result, it finally didn't let the state lose a clean one.

And finally when he was ready to be activated for the third time, Emperor Xiaoling, who had just succeeded to the throne, directly gave an order, and the second party disaster broke out.

This time, he was even more miserable, because he had been imprisoned for more than ten years...

It wasn't until the voice of "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand" appeared in all directions of the Han Dynasty, that Zhao Qi was pardoned again, became the speaker of the Han Dynasty, and served as the general of the cavalry, Changshi, stationed in Anding County to follow Zhang Wen to conquer Guanzhong and quell the rebellion.

Can... Zhang Wen's ability really doesn't dare to agree, although there was no chaos in Zhao Qi in this battle, but He Jin in the rear asked him to be a Dunhuang Taishou.

Directly let him go deep into the hinterland of Liangzhou.

A hundred years of chaos, this huge Yongliang land has never been born, and it is really pitiful that Zhao Qi dares to go over...

Passing through Xiangwu County, he was held by Bian Zhang, and he got away with it by a sophistry, and then he was held back by the rebel army in Chencang, this time he barely survived by hiding naked in the weedy pile of dead.

This hiding is twelve days!

After a tribulation.... Back in Chang'an!

The rest of the matter is simple, and then he ushered in Dong Zhuo, and when Li Dao and Guo Yan arrived, they were nearly ninety years old and followed Taifu Ma Riyan to appease the world, and at the age of ninety, he had to run around to adjust.

He is the real regulator, when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan fought Jizhou, they were fighting for the state and county.

As heroes in troubled times, Yuan Cao and the others immediately stopped the army and ceased the truce after hearing that Zhao Qi was coming, and even Gongsun Zhan, who was a reckless man, had to withdraw his soldiers and horses and wait for Zhao Qi's arrival.

On the one hand, he appeased Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan, which finally stopped the first Jizhou fight.

After that, he dragged a serious illness to Chenliu, returned to Luoyang, and went to Jingzhou to repair the palace....

One thing after another until now...

Liu Xie didn't know how he should evaluate this old minister about these things.

He could only ask Fu Xun silently.

"Gongdi, you say... Taichang Gong Zhao Qi... What kind of character the hell is it! ”

After hearing Liu Xie's words, Fu Xun was also slightly stunned, and then said with a chuckle.

"Why does Your Majesty say that?"

"I...."Liu Xie hesitated slightly, but he couldn't help but whisper, "I once said to the emperor today that this eunuch may be greedy, but he is loyal to the royal family.

Mrs. Zhao often though..."

"Your Majesty wants to talk about the disaster of the party and the dispute between the Qing eunuchs, right?" Fu Xun, as a person who appreciates the world, his comprehension ability is still very good.

From Liu Xie's embarrassed and hesitant attitude and words, we can understand the reason and purpose of Liu Xie's hesitation.

You can also know why he is like this.

As an extension of the power of imperial power, since the arrival of Emperor Guangwu, this eunuch and his relatives have always been the favorite things of His Majesty in the past dynasties.

And please be a celebrity for these guys... Bitter hatred!

The fighting between the two sides has never stopped, but... Today's majesty, I don't know if he has no chance, or because he doesn't have the ability yet, in short, there are no messy forces around him to rely on.

Looking at this little emperor with a hesitant and embarrassed face, Fu Xun didn't feel anything wrong, being able to ask this question was a stage that an emperor had to go through.

"Your Majesty... Now the world is in turmoil, and the forces of all parties are fighting endlessly, and there are those who rely on the wealthy families and the clear stream.

Some rely on the clansmen, and some rely on the soldiers and horses under the command of the righteous brothers, accumulating bit by bit.

But Your Majesty... Which force in the world can rely on eunuchs? ”

"Hmm... Eunuch... Well... Useless? Liu Xie's face couldn't help but tremble slightly, although he couldn't refute it, he always felt that this was wrong.

"Of course eunuchs are useful, starting from Emperor Xiaohuan until the first emperor, this eunuch is more and more powerful.

Because Your Majesty actually understands that some people in this world are ambitious.

But are these people really so simple as asking for a lumen?

The reason why the first emperors reused eunuchs and relatives was because Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the world, once proposed that the world should be ruled together with scholars.

However, there are indeed some, and even many scholars and doctors in the world rely on this sentence to wantonly annex land, causing the people to complain.

For example, the judge family in Hebei, as well as the Shen family who has recently gained a foothold in Shangyong, and my Fu family in the north are actually considered to be wealthy people.

There is also the Confucian family after the sage, one of the only two princes of my Han Dynasty, and now the land in the family is not just as simple as the fief of a hundred miles.

In these years, there are a total of 53 people in the Song Guogong family who have served as Jiuqing, princes and ministers, assassins, and Taishou, and there are seven people in the position of the princes.

This force is so strong, the world is looking sideways! ”

Fu Xun's words pierced Liu Xie's heart again and again, the power of these wealthy families did make him feel a little frightened, and there were many rumors in later generations that all the wealthy families would be cleaned up.

But after really coming to this troubled world, he finally found that this was complete nonsense.

He can't complete this thing across the ages, technology is going up step by step, not like a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

How thermal weapons appeared, not because no one thought of it, but after the initial situation in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it simply could not continue to develop.

Without a good enough refined iron and steel, he couldn't turn gunpowder into great lethality.

Without mature technology, the refined thing is not much different from the artillery battles of later generations.

Fight with artillery ... Isn't it good for me to quench the poison directly with that bow and arrow, isn't this thing more disgusting than an artillery battle?

After the peak of cold weapons, it is natural to put the truly purified firearms in the future, such as... China's first gun, a flamethrower in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

The first artillery battle, the water war in the early Southern Song Dynasty, artillery... That is to be able to do it with the heritage of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Xie reluctantly thought of those things on the Internet, but... He didn't know how to refine steel, he couldn't get past this era.

Then he can't suppress these wealthy families, he can't suppress them like a tyrant, break their so-called backbone, and let them become his loyal dogs and lackeys.

It's a frustration that knows the outcome.

"Your Majesty...."Fu Xun suddenly spoke again to bring Liu Xie back to his senses, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what we just said?" ”

"Uh.... I'm out of shape... Ay? Liu Xie was slightly stunned, "It seems that you are the first to say these things, right?" ”

"Hahahaha..."Fu Xun couldn't help laughing, and then bowed slightly towards Liu Xie again, "What Your Majesty said is that it is indeed Xun who first talked about the body of this wealthy family to invite famous people.

But... Your Majesty has found out why they are not willing to go one step further if they are in such a position? ”

"Huh?"

"In my 400-year reign, there have been relatives who have committed rebellion, such as Huo Guang's abolition, Wang Mang's usurpation of the country, Liang Ji's killing of the emperor, and so on.

Therefore, the previous emperors of the past dynasties summed up their experience, among the eunuchs and relatives, the first emperors naturally liked the eunuchs more, but the eunuchs... Is it really that safe? ”

Liu Xie looked at the pension in front of him, and suddenly felt that this matter was a little interesting.

Are eunuchs and eunuchs reliable to the emperor?

This matter asked the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty?

Of course not!

Ask the Tang Lao Li family about this!

The pinnacle of eunuch power .... The abolition of the emperor, how loyal they are to the emperor, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Can...

"So I don't have anyone around me to use?" Liu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly, how decadent and degraded that look was.

There is only that little power around the emperor, eunuchs are not available, relatives want to usurp power, and the wealthy families behind the Qingliu celebrities are merging.

What about the people at the bottom?

Don't make trouble, isn't it possible that the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty are not killed by Huang Chao?

Which of those people was not from a poor family or from a poor background?

It's not passed down from generation to generation, and in the end, it's all a virtue.

Looking at Liu Xie's gloomy appearance, Fu Xun seemed to feel that Liu Xie's mood was not bad enough, so he directly added.

"Your Majesty, haven't you heard of the words "Lonely and Alone?"

“.....”

"Your Majesty, that Zhao Qi is also from a wealthy family, and the Zhao family of Jingzhao Changling is not an idle generation, just the generation of Zhao Gong.

The elder brother Zhao Panguan went to the state capital to work, and the second brother Zhao Wuji went to Hedong to work.

My wife is also the niece of my Han Daru Ma Rong.

Although Ma Rong... He has a bad reputation, but he is also a famous person.

This kind of family background, but what is Zhao Gong like now?

Two or three old servants are his sons and nephews who have followed him for many years, and there are no other relatives in the family, all of whom have been killed and injured.

But what benefits did you give yourself? ”

“.....”

"Zhao Gong, what is he for?"

"He..."

"What Zhao Gong asks for is just a big man, although this result makes people feel ridiculous when they hear it, Zhao Gong has already lost his face in order to survive.

But he has no children, no family, no money, and even no wives and concubines. What else could he be for?

Your own reputation?

But Zhao Gong already had enough fame, in Jizhou, Luoyang, Chenliu, and now in Jingzhou.

Who is not courteous to him, not respectful, if he wanted to be famous, he could have stopped a long time ago, why should he stay in this Jingzhou land and live here? ”

“.....”

"Zhao Jian, the nephew of Duke Zhao, also served as a scholar back then, responsible for the election and appointment of the imperial court.

In those years, how many times did Dong Thief want to promote his cronies privately, but they were all sternly rejected by Zhao Jian, at that time... Isn't Zhao Jian afraid of death?

Dong Thief threatened with his life, wasn't Zhao Gong's nephew afraid at that time?

After Wang Situ died, no one in the world dared to clean up for Situ Gong, leaving the last bit of face for the Han Dynasty, or Zhao Jian threw away the official position of Pingling Ling and collected the funeral for Situ Gong.

For the big man, for His Majesty left the last bit of face!

Your Majesty thinks, what are they for? ”

“....”

"Da Changqiu Cao Teng, is the body of a eunuch, serving the four emperors, has never tasted it, there are many recommendations for the selection of talents, Chen Liuyufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuan Tang Xidian and others, which is not for me Han meritorious service?

Even though some of them are not guaranteed to live in the evening, they are all at the height of the temple!

Could it be that this Changqiu Cao Teng is also the filth of the Han Dynasty? ”

"This...."

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Fu Xun bowed directly to the end, and said solemnly towards Liu Xie, "There is not only one eunuch like Da Changqiu in this world, but it is not uncommon for loyal ministers such as Zhao Qi and Zhao Jian's uncle and nephew.

Where are there any eunuch relatives, Qingliu celebrities, and wealthy families in this world?

Some are just people, and it is only the people who have formed their so-called famous forces.

And Your Majesty... You only need to select the best and the best, select the people who are loyal to you, and then weigh their trust and trade-offs, so that the Han country can be stabilized and the people of the world can be stabilized.

Pacify it again! ”
