I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 244 The Deterrence of Eunuchs
"What can the other people discuss? The eunuchs will die, and I will compete with the people for profit."

Zheng Tai and He Yong were both familiar names to Liu Bian, and they were both celebrities with considerable property and land.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Jia Xu agreed.

Liu Bian looked at Jia Xu and suddenly asked: "Wen He, after Zhou Zhong dismissed from office, many people should have noticed you, right?"

After all, he suddenly launched a sudden attack and captured many officials, and then directly dismissed a Jiu Qing from office.

The courtiers may have been a little confused at first, but mobilizing troops in Luoyang City required an edict. As the situation became clearer, Jia Xu and Liu Bian's handwriting behind him could no longer be hidden.

Jia Xu was also helpless. He had to take action at that time and could not let Zhou Hui participate in the discussion about the Youfufeng earthquake. This was a matter of attitude.

Although from now on, this move seems to be a bit stinky... The reason why it seems to be added is because Lu Zhi was able to unify the opinions of the three princes so quickly and deal with the Beijing-China Material Discussion in a timely manner, so the influence of this matter cannot be ruled out.

After this incident, Jia Xu, who had been hiding in the dark and only pushed Wu Fu out, had to stand at the front desk, scrutinizing, awe, flattering, and fearing. The sudden increase in gazes made Jia Xu very unaccustomed.

"This time, let me protect Wen He from the wind and rain!"

Luoyang, Zhengzhai.

There are imperial students, traveling scholars, and officials of the current dynasty.

He Yong pointed to the top of a tree in the courtyard and sighed: "In today's hot summer, there are not many cicadas chirping!"

Jia Xu was puzzled.

But their reputation is still there, and they are even sought after by some people because they once "speak uprightly" in front of Liu Bian.

What made Zhou Ang even more panicked was that he recognized the leader-Zhongchang Shi Zhang Rang.

His face turned pale, and just as he was about to say something, the soldier had already appeared in the courtyard where he was.

Except for the opening goal, Zhang Rang encountered almost no resistance. Even the door was broken because he didn't knock first, it was intentional.

When Zheng Tai heard this, he certainly wouldn't say that he found the sound of cicadas disturbing, so yesterday he ordered his servants to remove all the cicadas from the nearby trees and underground.

Since Zhou Ang was dismissed from office, he had been depressed for a long time. After getting along with He and Zheng, he gradually came out of it. He also became interested after hearing the words. He was about to say something sarcastic, but when he was about to speak, he heard a sound.

……

Then there was a sound of rapid footsteps and the collision of soldiers and armor.

Zhou Ang was Wei Cheng and was particularly familiar with the latter.

Nowadays, although Luoyang no longer has large-scale gatherings because of Lu Zhi's intervention, Zhi Jinwu and Henan Yin can't stand the gathering of friends.

Zheng Tai and He Yong were both frustrated in their official careers. In addition to being He Jin's guests, they both had offended the emperor in person. They were in the same boat.

Instead, he pointed to the place where the sound of cicadas came from in the distance and said with a smile: "Although there are oriole's around, there are still cicadas that dare to sing."

Although Zheng Tai had made friends with many retainers, he did not dare to do this again after he was dismissed from office once. Moreover, even if he had retainers, he would be nothing more than a mantis in front of the fully armored guards. His residence is not big, after all, it is in Luoyang where land is at a premium, even though it is already in Fangnei outside the city.

The two often discuss things together, and there is no shortage of people coming to visit them every day.

Therefore, after the two resigned from office one after another, they did not leave Beijing and return to their hometowns when they saw no hope of comeback like Han Fu and others who had been swayed by Yuan Kai, but still stayed in Luoyang.

Zhang Rang looked at the restrained He Yong and others, and declared arrogantly: "Your Majesty has something to say - I heard that He Yong, Zheng Tai, and Zhou Ang all said that farming is harmful to the people. "The Doctrine of the Mean" says, 'Those who are sincere, It is the way of heaven. The sincerity is the way of man.' He also said, 'A gentleman wants to be slow in speech but quick in action.' I heard that you gentlemen have never been to the land of farming. Why don't you go to Youfufeng for me to see Look, if you personally participate in the farming, you will see whether the farming is treating the people harshly, and it is not in vain to receive the teachings of the saints."

Liu Bian's words are equivalent to pointing them in the face and telling them to "be honest" and "talk less and do more".

He Yong and Zheng Tai both wanted to refute, but their mouths were tightly blocked and they couldn't say even a single word. After that, Zhang Rang invited several imperial students and traveling scholars who often came here according to the list, and they all went to Youfufeng with the three of them.

……

After a busy day, Lu Zhi arrived at the door of his house and heard that his family members who came to greet him said that they had a visitor.

Not only his good friend Yang Biao, but also Yang Biao's younger brother Yang Zhong.

When Yang Biao saw Lu Zhi arriving, he apologized in advance and said: "I came here rashly and became a bad guest. I really shouldn't have done it. Don't take offense to Zigan."

In fact, based on the relationship between the two of them, they could visit at any time, and Yang Biao's words were telling Lu Zhi that he just couldn't hinder his disciple Yang Zhong's request, so there was no need to care about his position.

Of course Lu Zhi understood why Yang Zhong came. The imperial students who were sent to Youfufeng to participate in the farming together with He Yong and others were now on their way.

Before Yang Zhong could speak, he shook his head and said, "Don't bring it up, there is no room for change in this matter."

What Lu Zhi didn't understand was that Liu Bian did it on purpose.

In fact, Liu Bian could definitely do this without a eunuch. During the whole process, Zhang Rang could be replaced by any official who could speak his mind.

But Liu Bian still used Zhang Rang.

Lu Zhi could understand Liu Bian's dissatisfaction - the charges given by Luoyang Wuyi were "unfounded" in Liu Bian's words, so Liu Bian responded willfully - He Yong and others said that eunuchs have power, so let them experience it What does it mean for eunuchs to exercise power?

The reason why he didn't stop it and let it go was because Liu Bian had enough restraint from the issuance of the order to the final execution.

No one was killed, no one was implicated, and no house was even raided.

What else could happen? We can't always let the emperor endure it.

The effect after Zhang Rang was dispatched can be said to be immediate.

According to the latest information Liu Bian got from Jia Xu, no one mentioned anything about eunuchs having power.

After several years, the scholars finally remembered what the eunuchs were like when they took over power.

Wanton frame-up, cruelty to Zhongliang... That night, many people recalled the fear when the eunuch had exclusive power.

How many years has it been? The old memories are still there.

The eunuchs of the Guangxi Dynasty... were pretty good.

As He Yong and others were invited to Youfufeng to participate in the farming with the people, the discussion about the harsh treatment of the people in the farming gradually subsided.

How could those high-ranking scholar-bureaucrats be willing to be busy working in their fields like the Guizhou leaders?
……

In front of the door of Youlang's Office next to the Imperial Academy, a young man was looking at the not-so-impressive official office in front of him with high spirits.

Is this where he will stay next?
A passing official saw him looking around at a young age and thought he was a lost child from whose family he was, so he stepped forward to ask.

The young man immediately took out the seal representing his identity.

Lang Guan looked at it twice and asked: "Sun Ce, Sun Bofu?"

"Exactly!"
