The devil was put into a bottle and threw it into the sea. From the 100th to the 400th year, it changed from a lifetime of glory and wealth to choosing how to die, which fully demonstrated the irritability and anger that arises when prayers are not responded to.

Fortunately, Liu Bei did not wait until Dou and Chen were completely demonized before coming...

Of course, it is not clear in history.

Anyway, the officials of the feudal dynasty always only focus on their butts. Few people are willing to stand up and look into the distance, because they are afraid that after they stand up, the position under their butts will be stolen by others.

A big man, who is in his thirties or forties, does not look good when he cries out loud, but if the whole family is crying forty or fifty people, it will be difficult to describe this scene as good-looking or bad-looking.

Zhang Fei couldn't stand the situation of these mother-in-law and mother the most, but this time he was not angry at all, just silent.

Guan Yu just squinted his eyes and didn't say anything. After following Liu Bei back to the county government in Bijing County, he asked: "Brother, why didn't he say it was us on the spot..."

Liu Bei waved his hand.

Guan Yu immediately closed his mouth.

Until Liu Bei and the Magistrate Bijing County praised each other for a while, fully demonstrating the charm of Liu Envoy, and making the Magistrate Bijing County smile and retreat like a bun, Liu Bei slightly relaxed his straight waist and showed a hint of fatigue.

Bijing County is actually a very small county town. From one end of the county town to the other, riding a horse is only a quarter of an hour. Two or three streets, the county government is the most "magnificent" building.

However, even this "magnificent" building is not only covered with moss, but also in many places. The tiles on the eaves are not complete, and some holes are obviously not repaired, and they are shining. The wooden boards on the ground are old and cracked, and only the places where people often step on are shiny. Are there other places...

Liu Bei looked at it, and then felt a little moved.

Isn’t this county government like Liu Bei himself now?

So will such a county government attract people?

The three of them sat in the hall and were silent for a long time.

After a while, Liu Bei let out a long breath and broke the silence.

"I remembered some of General Dou's things..." Liu Bei said slowly, "Do you know why Dou was punished?"

Zhang Fei shouted and said, "I know! Isn't it just the Party and the Foul!"

"Ah, let me tell me, third brother?" Liu Bei said with a smile.

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes and thought about it, "It seems that during the reign of Emperor Xiaohuan, the Sili School Captain Li Gong disobeyed the order of amnesty and killed the son of the alchemist. Later, more than 200 people were placed in prison..."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Eunuchs are domineering and domineering, and they all deserve to die!"

Liu Bei nodded, "I thought so at first..."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were stunned.

『Haha,』 Liu Bei laughed,『I wasn't saying anything good to those corrupt eunuchs, I just wanted to say...What is this matter according to the cavalry? Contradiction? Well, contradiction...』

According to the official or more "orthodox" records among the children of the gentry, the party and culprit matters were the unprecedented reliance on eunuchs after Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, took power and indulgence. The direct result was that eunuch forces had acted in power, autocracy and chaos in the country, and endangered the people. These incidents aroused the dissatisfaction of the gentry, so they formed parties to punish and attack the eunuchs.

Liu Bei broke up and said, "I remember, there were three things at that time. One was the nephew of Wuyuan Marquis plundering the daughter of the prefect of Runan, the other was the alchemist who was a massacre and murdering people, which eventually became Li Yuanli's crime. The other was that the Zhongchang Shihou took away 118 hectares of land in the people... Why do I remember this number? Because at that time I thought the land was 118 hectares, and there were so many. When I was in Zhuo County, my family had less than 30 acres of thin fields... But now it looks like, hum...

Of course, there were not only three things that resisted the eunuchs at that time. There were also many illegal things that eunuchs and their relatives and their relatives, which were either exposed or dealt with by the gentry. However, these three things were widely publicized and became an important fuse for the party and fining incident.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, as if he had some insight.

Zhang Fei nodded, touched the beard on his chin, and tugged.

『One hundred and eighteen hectares...』 Liu Bei repeated again, 『How much? One hectares are fifty acres, more than one hundred hectares, nearly six thousand acres, two hundred times the land in my family... I remember when I heard about this, I was also very angry... But, I remember how much was the position of the Three Dukes at the time of Emperor Xiaoling, at least 30 million yuan... Then some people said they donated... These donated money are not eunuchs... Then I thought, these 6,000 acres of land and 30 million yuan... Third brother, how much is the one acre of land there?』

『It's three or four thousand yuan...Middle-class land, the best is more expensive, and there are also cheaper ones, about a thousand yuan..." Zhang Fei replied, and then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but snorted, 『These guys...』

『Shortly after the Party and the Forensic Emperor Xiaohuan passed away...』 Liu Bei stroked his beard, 『The thirty-sixth year...』

A flash of light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes, "Brother's meaning is..."

Liu Bei shook his head, "This...is not clear, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe... After all, Emperor Xiaohuan often eats elixir recipes, and it is said that it is not good if he eats too much... This is what the doctor in the clinic said...

What about the immortal pill? After eating it, it will definitely leave the mortal world. Some will take immediate results and some will take effect slowly. Therefore, it is not impossible for Emperor Xiaohuan to accidentally eat a few more pills when he was doing something he liked to do.

『After Emperor Xiaohuan died, Emperor Xiaoling ascended the throne.』 Liu Bei said slowly, 『There are three ministers of Gu's life, General Dou, Taiwei Chen, and Hu Situ... This should be decided by Emperor Xiaohuan before his death...』

After Liu Hong's death, Hu Guang was a doctrine of the mean school among the three ministers, claiming to "ignoring everything about Boshi, and the doctrine of the mean in the world has Hu Gong", so it is generally clear that the initial configuration was Hu Guang as a reconciliation, one end was Dou Wu and the other end was Chen Fan, and then the relatives and Qingliu restrained and balanced each other, but Dou Wu and Chen Fan came together.

『Did I think before that General Dou is a fool…』 Liu Bei laughed a few times, "I am not secretive when I am in trouble, I am hesitant, I am just a false reputation, I am not enough to kill the eunuchs, and I am more than enough to die. How stupid? Haha, but then I had some other ideas...』

The relationship between Dou Wu and Chen Fan was not as close as one in Jing County, but was used by each other.

After Emperor Huan of Han, his empress Dou Miao was promoted to the empress dowager and was promoted to the throne. Dou Miao's father Dou Wu was naturally promoted to the general. They welcomed Liu Hong, the Marquis of Jieduting at the age of twelve, to become the emperor.

It is said that when Dou Wu conspired to get rid of the eunuch, Chen Fan happily "pushed the table with his hands", so Chen Fan never expected Dou Wu to take the initiative to set up his posture...

Go up?

Go!

The two hit it off.

As a result, Empress Dowager Dou disagreed. At first, it looked like a fool's father gave birth to a foolish daughter, and the whole family was stupid.

『Now it seems... General Dou is not trying to eliminate officials, but to support hope...』 Liu Bei said with a smile, "Do you know why I said he wants to support hope?"

Guan Yu pondered for a while and said, "Emperor Xiaoling?"

Liu Bei nodded, "Emperor Xiaoling was not born by Dou."

Now Liu Bei feels that Dou Wu and Chen Fan are not stupid, but are too smart and have too many calculations to do stupid things in the end. If they are really stupid, then they will go up and finish the matter with a hammer. The sledgehammer is eighty and small hammers are smashed in a bang, just like when Yuan Shao was forced to a dead end, he killed the eunuch in the palace in one night?

So among them, there are Dou Wu's calculations, Dou Miao, the plan of Empress Dowager Dou, and Chen Fan and others. Everyone wants to take the opportunity to suppress their opponents and strengthen themselves, or save themselves to eliminate hidden dangers. As a result...

Dou Wu wanted to kill the eunuchs not for the Han Dynasty, but for the fact that he knew that he would soon be no general. Emperor Ling of Han was about to marry a new queen. He could not be a general for a long time. In order to ensure the interests of Dou, he wanted to eliminate the power around the emperor and pretended to wear a pair of pants with Qingliu.

"Emperor Xiaohuan party and imprison the scholars, but he cannot do without the scholars, so he can only let Dou come forward to protect..." Liu Bei said with a smile, "If it is not bad as I expected... this is actually the two sides of Yin and Yang... What's more, the actions of the general Dou, now thinking about it... it seems to be somewhat similar to Wang Mang..."

In the ninth year of Yanxi, Dou Wu was appointed as the captain of the city gate. During his tenure, he recruited famous scholars, was honest and dedicated, and did not accept gifts and bribes. His wife's food and clothing were only enough for food and clothing. At that time, he used military forces to the Western Qiang year after year, and the grain harvest was poor and the people were hungry. Dou Wu gave all the rewards he received to Tai students, and used carriages to carry food and food to the poor on the road.

Dou Wu's nephew Dou Shao was appointed as the General of the Hu Ben, and was lazy and extravagant. Dou Wu often scolded him harshly, but Dou Shao was not yet awakened. Dou Wu then wrote a letter to ask him to be removed from his post, and blamed himself for not being able to teach Dou Shao well, so he should suffer first...

Guan Yu frowned and said, "In this way, it's really a bit similar... But does Dou really have the courage?"

Liu Bei shook his head, "Maybe there is no... But Dou may not really want to eliminate the eunuchs... This can be seen from the fact that Empress Dowager Dou has been hesitating... Or maybe Empress Dowager Dou had her own ideas at the time and was unwilling to cooperate with Dou..."

As the Empress Dowager Dou Miao was about sixteen years old, she was thrown to Emperor Huan of Han by her father like a transaction. Then, because she could not give birth to her prince, she had to pinch her nose and recognize her son, Emperor Ling of Han, who was at most seven or eight years younger than her. Even though she had the passion for youth to contribute to Dou's family at the beginning, she was probably exhausted from the gloom and viciousness of the palace.

Logically speaking, although Empress Dowager Dou is the Empress Dowager, Dou Wu is her father. What reason does her daughter have to object to what her father wants to do? Either Dou Miao and Dou Wu have a serious disagreement, or it is actually a play...

"Pretended?" Zhang Fei glared, "Why do you have to do it so complicated?"

"Didn't your brother say it just now? Fame!" Guan Yu sneered disdainfully, "All of you are seeking fame!"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "While removing the eunuch's name and then obtaining the surrender of Shilin, he cultivated his disciples and controlled the court... At any stage, I guess the people recommended by General Dou will be arranged smoothly... but this process was interrupted..."

"Brother, are you talking about the Xinhai Incident?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei nodded, "At first I thought this matter, why is General Dou so stupid... Later, I thought about it, and I thought of someone..."

"Who?" Zhang Fei asked.

"The late emperor's filial piety." Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei thought before that the teenage Emperor Ling of Han might not be anything, who could treat him as a plate of bean sprouts? But now when he was thinking about it again, Liu Bei suddenly felt that this plate of bean sprouts might be the key soul...

It's like a spoonful of pepper oil that was poured on top of Mao Xuewang.

It's said it's the main ingredient, but if it's missing, it's not tasty enough.

By the way, the eunuchs attached to Emperor Ling of Han also prolonged their lives for another twenty or thirty years.

You should know that Emperor Ling of Han was not the son of Empress Dowager Dou, and when he took over as the emperor, Emperor Ling of Han was already twelve years old.

Twelve years old, in the Han Dynasty, it was not too young.

『Ah?』 Zhang Fei didn't really believe it, 『No way, this... was only eleven or twelve years old at that time?"

Liu Bei nodded, "So there is another person, Cao Jie and Cao Hanfeng..."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "By the way, this makes sense... This is the person who welcomed Emperor Xiaoling to the throne at that time."

Cao Jie was an official who went to Hejian to welcome Liu Hong to Beijing to ascend the throne. In addition, he lived in the palace for a long time, so he naturally had a good relationship with Emperor Ling of Han. Therefore, during the incident, Emperor Ling of Han drew out his sword to express his active support for the eunuchs' behavior.

The emperor felt that he was not his biological child and might be replaced at any time. The eunuchs felt that the knife was on their necks, so the two "weak groups" spent their time together early and had a lot of time to appreciate each other...

With the sword of Emperor Ling of Han, Cao Jie did everything smoothly.

When the incident happened, Chen Fan probably wanted his relatives and eunuchs to die together and then come to get a bargain, so he didn't even think about helping Dou Wu to the end, nor did he care whether Emperor Xiaoling was dead or alive. So when Dou Wu was really in danger, Chen Fan was not prepared at all. In the end, he could only take some people to take the risk to "rescue" Emperor Ling of Han.

That's right, even Chen Fan did not go to join the allies Dou Wu, but went to find Emperor Ling of Han. He robbed him, and was wrong. He saved Emperor Ling of Han. Chen Fan and others could naturally survive...

As for Dou Wu, who is that?

As a result, the members of the Chen family of Dou family were exiled to Bijing, and then the two families lived in a manor in close contact...

Of course, no one knows what happened back then, but they know that the eunuchs who benefited in the end, and the 12-year-old Xiaoling Emperor who was sure to hold the throne.

"This is to pay attention to the lessons of the past..." Liu Bei said slowly, "Dou Chen was exiled here... We are almost the same... But, the weak may not be always weak... But the important thing is to be unity. If you have different intentions, even if you have many powers and fame is about to collapse..."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other without saying a word.

Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. For Liu Bei, he did not think that this Jiaozhi was the end of his life.

『We need manpower, and these people...if they are willing to surrender to us, it will be great...』 Liu Bei changed the topic, "Only those who are like the people can agree to the truth. If I say on the spot, I am going to come... it would be a bit coercive, then the person who comes may not be sincere...』

'No one will be willing to be sacrificed...' Liu Bei said in a deep voice, 'Even if the cattle and sheep are tied to the altar, they will howl and struggle, let alone humans? Are sinners' children a sinner? Party and bribery... Haha, the party and bribery have existed from the beginning and have never been truly removed. It's just a different name... What I need is these unwilling people... As for those who are "pleasant", let them go back... and force them to stay, they can't keep them, so why bother?"
To be continued...
