Chapter 73 has something to say, please listen carefully.

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng looked at the sky and sneered.

"Say one thing and do another. Xunzi is indeed right."

"Hypocritical and cheap scholar."

"The majesty of the emperor lies in the execution of orders and prohibitions, and the strictness of the law."

"Challenge the majesty of the emperor and seek your own death, don't blame others."

"but……"

Ying Zheng thought about these two things, the posthumous title and the history book, and his expression became dim.

"I'm afraid this guy's reputation won't be much better if he offends these people."

……

The period of Emperor Huan of Yanhan Dynasty
  Deyang Hall,
  Liu Zhi held the wine glass, raised it, and put it down.

His face was gloomy.

"Ha...what a 'Qingyi', what a 'upright minister'!"

boom!
  The wine glass fell hard on the table, making a loud noise!
  All the eunuchs and dancers in the palace fell to their knees in panic.

"When Liang Ji was in power, you all followed his lead! You didn't even dare to let go of him!"

"Why didn't you resist Liang Ji's orders when I was in danger?"

Liu Zhi pointed at the sky curtain angrily and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Except for Liang Ji, you are here to act pretentious again!"

"I'm just too good to you! I'm so indulgent!"

"Isn't it more abominable to resist the decree and disobey it than to interfere in politics by eunuchs?"

"You clearly despise me! This is too much!"

……

Ji Han,

Liu Bei looked at the sky, thoughtfully, then looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and asked:
  "Kong Ming, in order to get rid of eunuchs, Cheng Jin and Liu Zhi did not hesitate to violate court laws and cause death. Is this really right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace looked at Zhuge Liang.

Because no matter what the starting point of these two people was, they all violated the court's laws, but their original intention of violating the court's laws was to get rid of the national traitors.

Two contradictory values ​​impact them again.

If they can ignore court laws and regulations in order to get rid of thieves, then what do they pursue to restore the Han Dynasty, political integrity and people?

But if we follow the imperial decree, how can we punish Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao?
  Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and he also felt the confusion in everyone's hearts.

"Lord, gentlemen, I have something to say, please listen carefully."

Zhuge Liang stood up from his seat, bowed his hands in a respectful manner, and said:

"Cheng Jin and Liu Zhi are both right and wrong. But they are more wrong than right."

"The first mistake was to ignore the court's laws."

"Even though the general amnesty was issued, the prisoners were still executed after the general amnesty. This is not rational but is actually a personal vendetta."

"The second mistake is not distinguishing the root from the bottom."

"A rich businessman and a small Huangmen. These two people were not enough to affect the safety of the country, but they were killed because of their involvement with eunuchs."

"Not only did it have no impact on Hou Lan, Zhang Rang and others who were entrenched around Emperor Huan, it actually gave them a reason to do harm. It's really unclear."

Guan Yu on the side stroked his beard and listened quietly. When he heard this, his eyes raised.

"Military advisor, are the loyal and good generals going to let those traitors disrupt the government?!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a smile:
  "General Guan, there are still a couple of things you haven't said yet."

"The only solution for Cheng Jin, Liu Zhi and others is to kill the eunuchs."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little dizzy. Zhuge Liang continued:

"Emperor Huan was furious and killed Liang Ji, which was a decisive act! However, it was Emperor Huan's connivance that the Five Marquises of the Eunuch Party, Hou Lan and others caused trouble in the court."

"The root cause is that Emperor Huan didn't know people well and was slack in government affairs."

Liu Bei and others thought about it and found the same thing.

"As a minister, you should eliminate those who deceive your superiors. This is the integrity of a minister."

"Gentlemen, what we are doing is not fighting against traitors, we are sacrificing our lives for you and the country to fight for survival!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and faced south, his face solemn.

"If there is a big traitor who deceives the superior, I should not hesitate to use my own body to break the law and kill the traitor!"

"After eradicating evil, you should be punished according to law."

"This is loyalty to the king and the country and the conduct of ministers."

"Emperor Huan is not a master of the Ming Dynasty. If he were a master of the Ming Dynasty, he would punish those who broke the law such as Cheng Qi, Liu Zhi, etc. and stop here. He definitely did not listen to the eunuchs' slander and the Luo Zhi Tianxia party members."

"In this way, the eunuchs have great control over the government, but how can they manage the country's affairs?"

"At this point, the world is in turmoil."

Zhuge Liang looked around and said loudly:

"As a minister, I should sacrifice my life to serve the master, as long as it is beneficial to the country. Even if I die, there is no way out!"

"Correct the king's faults and return him to the right path, and then check who will uphold the great power of the country."

"For example, if you are a traitor who has brought disaster to the country, but you are at odds with his power! This is the effect of a loyal minister."

Zhuge Liang's words also explained everyone's thoughts.

Imperial decrees are issued by the monarch, executed by ministers, and obeyed by the people. This is as it should be.

However, if the court decree favors someone or there is no choice but to avoid a treacherous person, you should sacrifice your life to the country, put yourself in danger, and be wary of the country!
  The two are never black and white!

Liu Bei looked at the sky and felt something in his heart:

"Hans and thieves are at odds with each other."

……

{Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was born in a side branch. After he succeeded to the throne, he eliminated the domineering general Liang Ji and regained the lost imperial power. This was a good thing for the Eastern Han Dynasty. }
  {From then on, Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling both succeeded to the throne as eldest emperors. Emperor Huan, like Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, granted marquisships to the eunuchs who had helped him. But the problem was that the eunuchs during the period of Emperor Huan were different from the virtuous eunuchs like Emperor He of the Han Dynasty! }

{Although "I sigh and hate Yu Huan and Lingye." In fact, Emperor Huan's early attack on his relatives to regain the imperial power and stabilize the court was very good. }
  {It's just that he was too mediocre in handling government affairs, and the trusted eunuchs gradually started to cause chaos, so Emperor Huan's reputation was not good. }
  {Being able to receive the posthumous title of Huan shows that he is definitely not mediocre. Huan was a good posthumous title at the beginning, and he can only be called Huan if he has the ability to expand the land and quell the chaos. }
  {But after Duke Huan of Qi and Emperor Huan of Han, Hou Huan started to have the tendency to cause troubles or even die in accidents in his later years, so he became a posthumous title with more complicated emotions. }
  {In the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were easier to use than relatives and bureaucrats and landlords, because the latter two were not good things. It was just that eunuchs had always been looked down upon, so when it came to using eunuchs, they immediately became associated with faint kings. }
  {I feel that the later emperors were, the more they had to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and find various excuses to deal with the powerful, charging the powerful's land and money into the treasury, and exiling people to the frontiers. This could not only attack the powerful, but also strengthen the manpower of the frontiers. As long as If we can continue to attack the powerful, even if natural disasters continue, the imperial court will not be left with no money in the treasury. }
   As an aside, historical records record that Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had five thousand beauties in his harem.

  The best in history!

  One day is thirteen years.

  Otherwise, he would have died early.

  He is also empty of people made of titanium alloy.
