Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8

The Western Han Dynasty was established by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the capital was Chang'an; the Eastern Han Dynasty was established by Liu Xiu, the Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and the capital was Luoyang.During this period, there was a brief new dynasty (8 AD - 23 AD) when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself.

Although Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty was a second-rate son, the Han Dynasty he founded was indeed great.

Different from the short-term unification of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty did indeed achieve recuperation. The Huang-Lao philosophy advocated in the Western Han Dynasty and the Confucian culture of the Eastern Han Dynasty paid great attention to the people's livelihood.In the Qin Dynasty, the population was said to be 2000 million, or 3000 million, but in the Han Dynasty, it increased to 6000 million.

The Han Dynasty was a great dynasty in the world at that time. From Han Gaozu to Han Wenjing, the economic strength of the Han Dynasty rose in a straight line and became the first empire in the East. It was also called the two great empires with Western Rome.All major countries in Central Asia and the Western Regions are also afraid of it.By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Empire had become the most powerful empire in the world, and the Xiongnu Empire was defeated and fled to the north in embarrassment.Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions for the first time and opened up the famous "Silk Road", which opened the trade channel between the East and the West. Since then, China has become the center of the world trade system until the Mongol rebellion more than 1000 years later.It is precisely because of the prestige of the Han Dynasty that foreigners began to call the Chinese "Han people", and Han people also liked to call themselves this way. "Han" has since become the eternal name of the great Chinese nation.

"Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!" This sentence is not just a slogan, it enhances the spirit of an entire nation.It was the first time in the Han Dynasty to take the initiative to drive away the Huns who had been committing crimes all the time, just like the bereaved wild dogs. Fenglangjuxu was a monument in the Han Dynasty.

The heyday of the Han Dynasty was a dynasty with a clear division of labor between civil and military. Military generals were responsible for defending the country and expelling foreign enemies, and civilians were responsible for political affairs and improving people's livelihood. Like the military attaches of later generations, seeing that the civil servants were three grades short, they would say that there were no martial arts vulgar in the Han Dynasty.Throughout the Han Dynasty, from the gentry down to the common people, they were still full of blood, and the invaders must die!

Even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you stretched out your hand to hold a Hu people, you must not only chop off your hands but also chop off your head. It is hard to say that he might become the next Wei Qing.

During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, the common people have gotten used to the rule of Emperor Liu of Han. According to most people, even if they are suffering, it is good to embrace the emperor. It is just that they are deceived by the officials under him. As long as the emperor finds out, The notion that everything will be fine.

However, the emperors in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were more than capable of killing each other, and their abilities were inferior to Liu Xiu, Liu Che, etc. I don’t know that there are hundreds of streets, so no matter how big the family business is, it can’t withstand the tossing of prodigal sons from generation to generation!
It can be said that after 400 years of rule, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has become a deified image. The orthodox dominance of the Han royal family did not really try to be overthrown until the end of the Three Kingdoms period. What kind of farce has Cao Pi engaged in abdication for several years? 220 or 221?And now it is 189, so it will take 30 years of war before the statue of Han Dynasty collapsed, and the current Yellow Turban Rebellion is just a new big crack added before the statue collapsed.

Liu Bian is also quite pitiful. The emperor who has only been emperor for a long time will be poisoned to death. There is also Liu Xie. It is said that Liu Xie is quite good. ...

Fei Qian thought irresponsibly while riding an ox cart to Cuijiazhuang in Beimang Mountain.

By the way, how old is Liu Bian Liu Xie this year?Liu Bian seems to be a little older, the eldest son, fifteen or sixteen?more or less.Liu Xie seems to be much younger, is he seven or eight?
In later generations, one only went to middle school and one went to primary school, and they are still pink and tender Zhengtai!
*************
When Fei Qian was at ease outside the city without any burden, the head of General He Jin was about to explode.

How could something so simple for him be able to say so many things?The key is that there is some truth to it, how to choose this?

The eunuch had just sent an edict, the content of which was that the Empress Dowager He invited General He Jin to enter the palace for a chat.

Although He Jin was born in a butcher, he is now a great general, and he still has a bunch of people under his command. , Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao.

Although He Jin is already a general, his background is low, which makes him very contradictory when facing the gentry. He looks arrogant and arrogant, and in his own heart is so inferior that he is actually very eager to gain the recognition of the gentry. It was also thought that he would also eventually become a member of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, a super family member of the fourth generation and the third prince, came to him and became his subordinate, He Jin drank wine all night long that night. He was very happy. Now, let the first-class aristocratic family bow their heads and obey orders in front of him, how can it make people unhappy and excited?
But after all, his background is too poor. Although he tried to study hard in private after ascending to a high position, after all, there was no one to guide him, and he lacked the perseverance to work hard, so he has only half a bucket of water and learned some superficial kung fu. , As for the governing director, operational planning, etc.

He doesn't understand political opponents, he doesn't have an iron fist, and he has soft ears and no opinion. This is the root cause of He Jin's sway in dealing with the eunuch, which ultimately led to his own tragedy.

Just like now, He Jin feels uncertain.He convened his subordinates to discuss it together, but he found it more nerve-wracking to discuss.

The number one troublemaker is his master bookkeeper, Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang.

He Jin's chief book, Chen Lin, is known as one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". He is highly accomplished in literature, especially good at poetry.It turned out that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty arranged for Chen Lin to be the head of the General's Mansion so that the ignorant He Jin could increase his cultural value somewhat, but Chen Lin and He Jin really couldn't pee in a pot.One is a literati, the other is a rough man, the other likes romantic relationships, and the other likes wine women. There is really no common topic.At the beginning, He Jin had a little bit of learning and self-motivation, but later found out that it was very difficult for him to increase his knowledge, so he started to be rude.

Chen Lin tried to persuade him, but to no avail, and finally gave up completely. He had looked down on this Butcher He, but now he no longer has any hope for He Jin. When I asked him a question, he answered it, and he didn't care whether He Jin listened or acted. He completely became a wooden statue. He responded to his requests, and did his own work without asking, and didn't care about other things.

Just like when He Jin asked him what he thought of this Empress Dowager He's edict, he said slightly contemptuously, "The empress dowager's edict must be the plan of the ten permanent attendants. You must not go, and there will be disasters if you go." Explain, why do you like to listen to it, but you don't listen to it - you can't see such a simple thing, and your head is full of women with wine and meat?

He Jin is actually very depressed. I'm just a rude person. Every time I talk to you, I'm very careful.don't you explain?I go in danger, what kind of danger, how much danger?Look at your look of contempt, you can't tell if I think I'm rude?If it weren't for your fame, Lao Tzu would have ordered someone to whip you with a whip to let you know how red the flower is!

He Jin was still unclear after thinking about it, so he had to pull his face and ask: "The Queen Mother ordered me, what's wrong?" Do you know that if I don't go, I will be disobeying the imperial decree? Although the Queen Mother He is my sister, she can't bear it. There are so many trolls staring at them, and it will be strange that the fallen people will not be sprayed into a sieve by then!
It's a pity that He Jin asked the question, his face was not directed at Chen Lin, and he didn't ask Chen Lin by name, so Chen Lin pretended not to hear, and made it clear that a stupid person asked some stupid questions, just be obedient. need to be explained.

There was silence in the hall.

General, what question are you asking?
Master Chen didn't say a word, and the people below didn't answer very well.

It was Yuan Shao who broke the silence and saved He Jin's scene: "The plot has been leaked, the matter has been revealed, and the general still wants to enter the palace?" General He Jin, what a good question you asked!How do we know what the danger is, and we're not the eunuchs, how can we possibly know what they're going to do with you?
What's more, General He Jin, why did you go earlier?Didn't I remind you about Dou Wu? You are hesitant to take action. Now, all the eunuchs know that you are going to deal with them. Now that our plan has been leaked, what are you doing in the palace?Anyway, it is dangerous to enter the palace. As for the danger, I'm sorry, I don't know.

Cao Cao also squeaked on the side: "First call the ten permanent servants out, and then you can enter." Cao Cao came up with the idea of ​​drawing wages from the bottom of the pot. Didn't he say that the ten permanent servants were going to make a crooked move and get these people outside the palace first, then Even if there is any danger in the palace, the person who does not take the lead will not work, and then if you enter, there will be no danger.

This idea sounds good, but unfortunately, like the last one, it's not very implementable.

Cao Cao's background is not only related to eunuchs, but he himself is not optimistic about He Jin's break with eunuchs. The fight between foreign relatives and eunuchs is an excellent tradition in the Han Dynasty. How much ability does a butcher He have to completely eliminate eunuchs?Although I don't know what the danger is, I will give you an idea to ensure that this danger can be solved. As for whether it can be done or not, it will be another matter.

After listening to Cao Cao's suggestion, He Jin didn't get angry. Last time you said that you can solve the eunuch and find a jailer. I really believed it, but Yuan Shao was the best. I haven't even asked you to settle things that are actually impossible. What idea did you give me?
If I can directly order the ten permanent attendants to go here and there, I still have to deal with the ten permanent attendants?Just because they didn't listen to my orders, why did you call them out?What to call?

He Qiqi smiled and said, "This is my opinion. I have the power in the world, how would the ten permanent servants dare to treat me?" Did you hear, little boy, you are talking about you, Cao Cao, Cao Amu, don't think I'm being fooled, I'm in power Great general, be careful I turn my face.

Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency must want to go, I'll wait for the soldiers to protect the servants, just in case something happens." If you want to die, then die. Anyway, we've done everything we need to do. Bring more people to those eunuchs. There is also some deterrent.

He Jin nodded, this was a good suggestion, so he took out the Tiger Talisman and asked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to send out 500 people each as guards.If you want to do it, you have to make it bigger. How can dozens or hundreds of people set off the prestige of me, He Jin?

At this time, Yuan Shu unexpectedly stood up and took the initiative to ask Ying: "Benchu, Brother Meng De has a post, I may be inconvenient. If I lead him, I will ensure the general integrity." Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have official temporary posts. The Eighth Colonel of the West Garden, with the general's tiger talisman, it is true that soldiers can be transferred, but after all, there is no emperor's order. If it is difficult to explain when it is investigated, it is better to lead me, who has no official position, so that it will not fall. The population is real.

This principle is still true, but why is Yuan Shu, who is not able to work hard on weekdays, so active today?Yuan Shao's heart moved, and he turned to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also reacted at the same time, and gave Yuan Shao a wink, something was abnormal, there must be something tricky!
