Lord Yuan

Chapter 55
December 28, the first year of Yongkang.

March 168, 1 AD.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhi, passed away at the age of 36.

The officials were in mourning. All civil servants and generals gave up their struggle at this moment. Even the eunuchs had to restrain their arrogant attitude.

The entire government and the public were shocked, and everyone understood.

This day is about to change.

soon.

Liu Zhi's posthumous title was decided.

Xiaohuan symbolizes an overview of what the emperor did during his lifetime.

Emperor Xiaohuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhi, was buried in Xuanling with the temple name Weizong after consultation among the ministers, the clan and the Queen Mother.

Review Liu Zhi’s life.

The new emperor, who was walking on thin ice with the eunuchs in the toilet, was intimidated day and night by Liang Ji, a relative and general, and finally decided to overthrow Liang Ji, a powerful minister.

The Arm-Bite Alliance.

The eunuchs helped him regain imperial power.

During his reign, he also used Liangzhou Sanming to put down the Qiang rebellion who had rebelled and returned.

He appointed wise border generals, crusaded against Xianbei and drove them out of the Great Wall. He also connected the Western Regions and regained control over small countries such as Guizi and Wusun.

He also adopted the advice of good ministers to remove the five eunuchs, but at the same time, Liu Zhi also liked beauty and hung around the harem and concubines all day long, creating three queens, which caused the first disaster of party imprisonment.

Yuan Shao was not too surprised by the news.

He just felt that things in the world were unpredictable and filled with emotions.

Even the emperor who was in charge of such a large empire would die young and suffer from severe diseases.

Except for the additional identity that symbolizes imperial power, there is not much difference from ordinary people.

When Yuan Shao learned the news, Li Ying had already been pacing back and forth in the mansion for a long time.

Seeing Yuan Shao coming, a trace of worry gradually appeared on Li Ying's face.

"His Majesty passed away, the government and the public were shaken, the eunuchs disappeared, and the Queen Mother once again returned to power. Does Ben Chu have any opinions on this?"

Yuan Shao understood that his teacher was worried about this unhappy man. The death of the emperor would most likely lead to turmoil in the country.

While Emperor Huan was still alive, many frontiers were about to revolt from time to time, disobeying the disciplinary plan.

Fortunately, Emperor Huan had a moment of clarity and ended this turbulent era for a time.

But now that Emperor Huan has died and he has no heirs under his command, this is the worst thing.

In ancient times, elders and younger ones were valued. Emperor Huan's lack of heirs meant that his brothers, uncles, and even grandnephews, and the Han clan had a slight chance of ascending to the throne and succeeding him.

In such a situation, who would refuse an opportunity to assume the supreme power of a powerful man?

The people who can lead all of this are the current Queen Mother and a group of civil servants and generals.

eunuch?At this time, it is necessary to stop the activities. They have no way to interfere in this kind of thing.

In fact, even if Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who were not yet very old after King Jing of Zhongshan, and whose family was in decline, were to be led by the general trend, the Queen Mother might not be able to ascend the throne that symbolized orthodoxy that he dreamed of.

There will be no future No. 1 brother, Liu Bei, or Emperor Zhaolie of Han.

However, Liu Bei was only six or seven years old now, and his family was so poor that his father was just a county official, and he passed away a few years after Liu Bei had not met him.

The royal family and nobles have always paid attention to the depth and depth of the connection between bloodlines.For people like Liu Bei, who are family members of the royal family who have been passed down for countless generations, the blood in their bodies has long been so thin that only their names are left.

In this kind of choice to inherit the throne, the officials and the queen mother will always be unanimous.

Priority is given to those who are older.

The previous emperors were either in kindergarten or died young in middle age.

The country can no longer withstand too much turmoil, and now it is in urgent need of a ZTE leader to turn things around.

Older people may not necessarily make them wise, benevolent and righteous kings, but princes like these tend to see things more thoroughly and have more experience than younger clan members.

When the teacher asked him, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

Li Ying didn't bother him either, he also needed to think carefully.

Facing a situation that is almost rare for ordinary people to see in their lifetime, anyone would be shocked by the news and not know what to do.

"Teacher, don't worry. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. What the teacher needs to worry about now is what the teacher plans to do if His Majesty, the successor to the throne, wants to lift the ban on the party."

"If the imperial court recruits a teacher to serve as an official in Luoyang, what will the teacher plan?"

Yuan Shao was serious and his tone was serious, not at all relaxed and comfortable as before.

"My old bones are getting old, and those people at the top probably don't like me as a bad old man."

When Li Ying heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his deep eyes, but then when he thought of his own body, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his eyes gradually dimmed again.

"Then what if the students say that the teacher will definitely be appointed and it will be an official position with real power?"

When Yuan Shao suddenly said these words, Li Ying suddenly raised his head and looked at each other.

Li Ying, who is almost sixty years old, can still see clearly.

With the confidence Yuan Shao revealed, Li Ying didn't know why the usually steady student suddenly became manic today.

He could only chuckle and comfort him: "You and I can't control such a big thing. I'm quite happy to be cultivating my moral character here. I shouldn't think about it anymore."

Yuan Shao was not discouraged after being rejected. He remained calm and composed, and slowly said: "My uncle is now both a servant and Da Honglu, both of whom are Jiuqing."

"When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must grant amnesty to the world and replace officials. My uncle appealed again. With the reputation of the teacher, he is a model for the world's scholars. As long as His Majesty does not appear to be stupid, it is impossible to let a great talent like the teacher return to the world. "

Li Ying suddenly became interested again. He didn't want to be an official. He just felt that he still had the ability to shine for the court, and he didn't want to disappear like this.

Even though he often taught some scriptures in Yingchuan, he had already gained a lot of fame.

"Your Majesty, Da Honglu must be very busy at this time. How can he be so leisurely? I'll leave this matter to my master for the time being. Don't make any first move at this time." Li Ying stroked his beard and thought, he could see After he came out, his student sincerely wanted to help him return to court.

However, Li Ying was not very willing to rely on these external forces, and even more on the connections of the student family.

If the rumor spreads, I'm afraid it will spread everywhere that Li Yuanli accepted Yuan Shao as his student, and all he wanted was the political resources of the Yuan family in Runan.

These are not what he wants to see.

It's not a big deal to incur some loss to my reputation. If this makes Yuan Shao, the most outstanding student, incur the hatred of outsiders, then I will be a complete sinner.

The Yuan family in Runan had such a special status that Li Ying didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing for him to accept Yuan Shao as his student.

All he knew was that his student was different from ordinary people.

Regardless of talent or learning.

experience.
