Chapter 17 6. Domineering General

The government is an organism, and the Eastern Han Dynasty has gone from prosperity to decline in the past hundred years of this century.The decadent model, without exception, is: first, the central government starts to rot.The relatives of the emperor fought for power, and the eunuchs took advantage of the situation to seize power. The first era of eunuchs in China came, which aroused widespread civil uprisings.The eunuchs clashed with the civil service again, Dong Zhuo, one of the warlords, launched an unprecedented massacre, the country fell into chaos again, and the people suffered another misfortune.At the end of this century, Cao Cao, one of the heroes, saved the Eastern Han government, but could not restore the Eastern Han government to its original state.

1. In spring, on March 11th, Liu Shou (the third emperor Liu Dazi) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang) Jibei (Hui) King (capital Lu County) died. 2. The northern Xiongnu Khanate (the king’s court was located at the southern foot of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang) led the army of the queen king (south of Jimsar County, Xinjiang) to attack Yiwu (Hami City, Xinjiang). The military and political officer (Sima) of the Houguo (Sima) and the Secretary-General (Chang Shi) of Dunhuang County (Dunhuang City, Gansu Province) Soban stationed in the Ministry of Cheshi, and expelled the former king of Cheshi (Turpan City, Xinjiang) who belonged to the Han Dynasty, and controlled the entire "North Road" (northern margin of Tarim Basin, Xinjiang).The state of Shanshan (Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang) was in critical condition, so he asked Cao Zong, the magistrate of Dunhuang County, for help.Cao Zong asked the central government to send 5,000 people to fight back against the Northern Huns, one to avenge Soban, and the other to take back the Western Regions (Xinjiang and eastern Central Asia).

Senior officials in the central government all advocate closing Yumen Pass (northwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province) and severing relations with the Western Regions.Empress Dowager Deng Sui heard that Ban Yong, the military and political officer (jun Sima), had the demeanor of his father Ban Chao, and summoned him in the Jinluan Palace to ask for his opinion.Ban Yong suggested: "In the past, Emperor Xiaowu (Liu Che, the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty) was troubled by the power of the Xiongnu, so he opened up the Western Regions. Critics believed that in this way, he could seize the treasures of the Huns and cut off the right arm of the Huns. Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiu, the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty) ) revived the great cause, but had not had time to intervene in external affairs, so that the Huns relied on their national power to control the countries. In the 1960s and 1970s, they attacked Dunhuang again; the gates of the counties in Hexi (central and western Gansu Province) were closed during the day Closed. Emperor Xiaoming (Emperor Liu Zhuang, the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty) formulated a winning strategy and sent a tiger general (referring to his father Ban Chao) to the Western Regions. The Huns fled far away, so that the border was safe. By the 1990s, there was no country that did not belong The Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, the wars among the tribes of the Western Qiang Dynasty interrupted the relationship between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. The northern Xiongnu forces took the opportunity to return and supervise all countries to pay the tribute owed to the Huns in the past (after the Western Regions belonged to the Han Dynasty , no longer pay tribute to the Huns, such as cattle and horses, the Huns want to settle this old account), and deliberately raised the price, exchanged it for cash, and strictly stipulated the deadline. The Shanshan Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom (the former state·Turpan City, Xinjiang) were full of anger, Desire to serve the Han Dynasty, but can't find a way.

"In the past, rebellions broke out frequently in the Western Regions because the officials of the Han Dynasty were incapable of governing and even persecuted them. Now, because Cao Zong was humiliated by failure, he was eager to avenge his shame, but he did not study the history of the previous troops. Thinking of the new situation we are facing now. Because, if you have established achievements in the remote and wild wilderness, if you fail to receive results and fall into a series of wars, you will regret it. Besides, the current warehouse is not full; Unable to supply, it just shows our weakness to the barbarians and exposes our shortcomings to the world. Therefore, I foolishly think that Cao Zong’s request should not be granted. What I mean is: there used to be 300 troops in Dunhuang County, and now they should be restored. , and then set up the "Deputy Commander of the Western Regions" (Deputy Commander of the Western Regions), and set up the headquarters in Dunhuang to restore the original status in the 1990s. In addition, the Chief of Staff of the Western Regions (the Chief History of the Western Regions) should be dispatched to lead an army of 500 people. Garrison Loulan City (on the bank of Lop Nur, Xinjiang), and the west controls the traffic arteries of Yanqi (Yanqi County, Xinjiang) and Qiuci (Kucha County, Xinjiang). The south strengthens the defense forces of Shanshan and Khotan (Hotian City, Xinjiang). In this way, enough It can resist the Northern Huns in the north and defend Dunhuang County in the east. This is the best strategy."

The palace secretary (Shang Shu) ordered Ban Yong to analyze the interests and risks in detail. Ban Yong replied: "In the past, in the 1960s and 1970s, the communication with the Western Regions had just resumed. At the beginning, the royal guard commander (General Zhonglang, Refers to Zheng Zhong) stationed in Dunhuang. Later, a deputy commander (deputy captain) and a garrison car division (referring to Geng Gong, Commander Wu, and Guan Chong, Commander Ji, refer to November 1975). On the one hand, mediate between Hu Renjian Conflict, on the one hand, prevents the Han people from intruding on them. Therefore, the foreigners are all convinced, and the Huns are also afraid of the prestige of the Han Dynasty. Now, the king of Shanshan, You Huan, is the grandson of the Han Dynasty. If we can’t stop the Huns, You Huan will definitely be killed Although these foreigners are like a group of birds and beasts, they also know how to avoid disasters. If you send troops to garrison Loulan (Shanshan), you can maintain the hearts of the Western Regions. I foolishly think that this is the best policy."

Changle Palace Security Officer (Changle Weiwei) Tan Xian, Minister of Justice (Tingwei) Qi Wucan (Qiwu, surname), and Gyeonggi General Garrison Commander (Sili Xiaowei) Cui Shi, questioned and said: "The government used to abandon the Western Regions. (Refer to 2045). Since the Western Regions were of no benefit to the Han Dynasty, the cost was huge and difficult to supply. Now, Cheshi (Turpan City, Xinjiang) has surrendered to the Northern Huns, and Shanshan is not necessarily reliable. Once he turns his face, Ban General, can you guarantee that the Northern Huns will not invade the frontiers?" Ban Yong replied: "China sets up local administrative officials for the purpose of prohibiting thieves and robbers in counties. Guarantee that the Northern Huns will not invade the frontier. After we enter the Western Regions, the Northern Huns will inevitably weaken, and the Northern Huns will weaken, and the aggression will naturally decrease. Compared with returning the treasure to him and giving him the severed right arm, Which one is more cost-effective? The establishment of a commander (school lieutenant) is to appease the Western Regions, and the establishment of a Chief of Staff (Changshi) is for Huairou countries. If it is not established, the Western Regions will despair of our country. After despair, they must be wronged and surrender to the Northern Huns. All the counties on the frontier will be attacked. I am afraid that the city gates in Hexi will be closed during the day again (refer to 1965). Now, not only do not promote the government's kindness, but they are stingy and reluctant to give up the small cost of land reclamation and garrison, so that The northern Huns are more aggressive, is it a long-term plan to protect the safety of the frontier?"

Mao Zhen, Assistant to the Secretary of the General Headquarters of the National Armed Forces (Taiwei), said: "If there is a commander, the countries in the Western Regions will continue to send envoys to our country, making one request on the left, and one request on the right, endlessly. If you agree, the cost is too much to supply; if you don’t agree, you are afraid of losing their attachment. Once you are oppressed by the Northern Huns and need our country to rescue you, the trouble will be even greater.” Ban Yong replied: “If the Western Regions are handed over to Giving it to the Xiongnu can make the Xiongnu appreciate the kindness of the Han Dynasty and stop invading the Han Dynasty, so it might as well hand over the Western Regions to the Xiongnu. But in fact, after the Xiongnu acquired the Western Regions, they also received land taxes and taxes from the Western Regions, and even got a huge armed force in the Western Regions. It will be used to attack our country's frontier fortresses. This is the best way to make the enemy rich and the violent enemy strong. We set up commanders, demonstrate their power, spread kindness, maintain the centripetal force of all countries, and deter the coveted ambitions of the Huns, without consuming the country Financial concerns. Moreover, the Western Regions have no special requirements for our country. Envoys come to our country to provide them with food. If they refuse, they will definitely fall into the arms of the Huns and work together to attack Bingzhou (Shanxi Province and the Hetao area of ​​​​the Yellow River), Liangzhou State (Gansu Province), China spends one billion ("Hou Hanshu·Ban Yong Biography" is 100 billion) can't solve it. So setting is the best policy."

The central government accepted Ban Yong's suggestion.Restoration of 300 people in the frontier defense battalion in Dunhuang County, setting up the deputy commander of the Western Regions, and setting up the headquarters in Dunhuang.However, although the relationship with the Western Regions is maintained in name, it cannot be stationed in Loulan according to Ban Yong's opinion.Later, the Northern Huns really continued to unite with the Cheshi Kingdom to plunder the frontier fortresses, and the Hexi Corridor was seriously injured. 3. The Xiqiang Shendi tribe (located in the northern part of Shaanxi Province) plundered Zhangye County (Zhangye City, Gansu Province).

4. In summer, on April 11th, Emperor Liu Hu (27 years old this year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the sixth An Emperor) made his prince Liu Bao the crown prince.Change the name of the year (before it was the seventh year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, and then the first year of Yongning), and forgive the world. 5. On April 14th, Liu Chong, the son of Liu Xian (the second emperor Liu Zhuangzi), was granted the title of King Chen (Jing) (the capital of Chen County) and succeeded to the throne of King Chen; Liu Chang, the son of Shou (the third emperor Liu Dazi), will be the king of Lecheng (the capital of Xindu); Liu Yi, the son of Liu Kai (the capital of Lecheng) of Hejian (filial piety) king, will be the king of Pingyuan (the capital of Pingyuan) .

6. In June, Ma Xian, the Security Commander of the Western Qiang (Lieutenant Hu Qiang), led 10,000 people to attack the rebellious Qiang Shendi tribe in Zhangye County.The remaining members of the Shendi tribe all surrendered. At this time, the chief of the Dangjian tribe (in the upper reaches of the Weishui River), Hung Wuwai, took advantage of Ma Xian's main force to fight in Zhangye, and then attacked Jincheng County (Longxi County, Gansu Province) when the defense was empty.After Ma Xian defeated the Shendi tribe, he rushed back to attack the Dangjian tribe. The Dangjian tribe retreated. Ma Xian chased them out of the frontier and killed thousands of people.The Shaodang (also in the upper reaches of the Wei River) and the Shaohe tribe (in the south of Ningxia) returned to Jincheng County with Ma Xian's squadron, and then attacked Zhangye County, beheading the county government officials.

7. Autumn, July 1st, solar eclipse. 8. In winter, on October 16, the Supreme Inspector General (Sikong) Li He was dismissed. On October 20, Chen Bao, a native of Lujiang (Lujiang County, Anhui Province), the security commander of the imperial city (Wei Wei), was appointed as the supreme inspector general. 9. The capital (the capital Luoyang) and thirty-three counties and feudal states were flooded. 10. In December, Yongchang County (Baoshan City, Yunnan Province) outside the boundary of the Shan Kingdom (central Myanmar) tuned, sent envoys, and presented bands and magicians (these magicians came from the Roman Empire. dismantling, and turning a bull's head into a horse's head, etc.). 11. On December 16th, Prime Minister (Situ) Liu Kai requested to retire and was approved to receive a salary of one thousand shi per year for life. 12. Ulun, the chieftain (adult) of the Xianbei tribe in Liaoxi County (west of Yixian County, Liaoning Province), and Qi Zhiyan, led their tribes and surrendered to Deng Zun, the commander of the northern frontier defense (General Duliao). 13. On December 21, Yang Zhen, Minister of Sacrifice (Taichang), was promoted to prime minister. 14. This year, there have been earthquakes in 23 counties and Fengguo. 15. Deng Kang, the cousin of the Empress Dowager Deng Sui and the commander of the South Vietnam Corps (Yueqi school lieutenant), thought that Deng Sui had been in power for too long and his family power had reached its peak, so he was afraid.She wrote to her cousin Deng Sui many times, requesting to respect the government and reduce family control; her words were so sincere that Deng Sui ignored them.Deng Kang then declared that he was ill and would no longer meet with him.Deng Sui sent a maid to visit, but this maid colluded with a senior eunuch (Master Zhong) in the palace when she was working as a maid in Deng Kang's house.When Deng Kang heard the news, he scolded her, and the maid held a grudge against Deng Kang.After visiting Deng Kang, he reported to Empress Dowager Deng Sui that Deng Kang was suffering from a fake illness, and he made rude remarks.Trembling with anger, Deng Sui ordered Deng Kang to be dismissed and sent back to his feudal country (Deng Kang was granted the title of Marquis of Yi'an. Yi'an State, now Gaomi County, Shandong Province), and Deng Kang's name was deleted from the genealogy. 16. At first, more than 1,000 households, including Lu Cong and Ren Liang, chiefs of the Dangjian tribe and Hung Wu, gathered near Yunjie (south of Yongdeng County, Gansu Province) and waited for an opportunity. 1. In the spring, Ma Xian, the security commander of the Western Qiang Dynasty (the capital of Luoyang) in the Eastern Han Dynasty (the captain of the Hu Qiang school), recruited Lu Cong, the chief of the Dangjian tribe (in Yun Street at the time), to meet and kill him on the spot.Then he attacked his tribe, beheaded and captured more than 2,000 people.Renliang and others escaped outside the Great Wall. 2. Feng Huan, the governor (inspector) of Youzhou (northern Hebei Province and Liaoning Province), Ba County (Chongqing City), Yao Guang, the governor of Xuantu County (Shenyang City, Liaoning Province), and the county of Liaodong County (Qianyang City, Liaoning Province) Chang Caixi and others led an army to attack the Kingdom of Goguryeo (the inner city of the capital).Gao Gong, the king of Goguryeo (the sixth Taizu king), ordered his son Gao Suicheng to feign surrender, and took the opportunity to attack Xuantu County and Liaodong County, killing more than 2,000 people. 3. In February, Empress Dowager Deng Sui became seriously ill. On February 12th, pardon the world. On March 13, Deng Sui passed away (at the age of 41).Before the body was put into the coffin, Emperor Liu Hu (28 years old this year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the sixth An Emperor) re-issued the order that had been issued before, making Deng Zhi the Marquis of Cai (in 107, when Liu Hu first sat down) The throne, named Deng Zhishang Caihou, Deng Zhijian resigned), "Tejin" (below the Sangong and above the princes at the court meeting). On March 26, Deng Sui was buried, posthumously titled Hexi. Since Deng Sui took charge of the government, there have been floods and droughts for ten consecutive years. Barbarians from all over the world invaded from outside, and domestic thieves arose.Whenever Deng Sui heard about the famine among the people, sometimes he couldn't sleep all night, so he personally reduced his diet, removed the band (reduced food and music), and helped the refugees.So in the end, the world returned to peace, and there was still a good harvest every year. 4. After the death of Empress Dowager Deng Sui, Emperor Liu Hu officially took over the power of the government.Palace Secretary (Shangshu) Chen Zhong recommended people who lived in seclusion and integrity in the countryside: Du Gen from Yingchuan (Yuzhou City, Henan Province), and Cheng Xu from Pingyuan (Pingyuan, the capital). Liu Hu appointed them as officials.Chen Zhong is the son of Chen Chong (Chen Chong, refer to 1976). At first, when the Empress Dowager Deng Sui presided over the government, Dugan was a junior guard officer (doctor), and he wrote a letter with another junior guard officer at the same time, requesting: "The emperor is getting older and should handle affairs in person." Deng Sui was furious. , on the Golden Luan Palace, ordered the two of them to be put into a giant bag made of white silk, and killed on the spot (this is a kind of "punishment". He once accused Yingzheng of being "the second younger brother of Nangpu", which shows that "pushing punishment" already existed in the third century BC. Liu Xiu, the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was in power. It was not until the 1930s that Zuo Xiong suggested that it be abolished, and officials were not spared from the thumping).After culling, they were thrown away in the outskirts of the city.The other junior guard officer was dead, but Dugan was slowly waking up.Deng Sui also sent someone to check whether he really died, but Dugan had to fake death, so that maggots grew in his eyes, and he dared not brush them away.Later, he fled and fled to the mountains of Yicheng (Yicheng County, Hubei Province), where he worked as a waiter in a wine shop for fifteen years.Cheng Yishi was a small clerk in the Pingyuan feudal government, and was also sentenced for suggesting that the empress dowager Deng Sui should return to power.After Liu Hu became emperor, he recruited two people to report to the Palace Gate Reception Office (bus), appointed Du Gen as the law enforcement supervisor (Servant Yushi), and Cheng Yishi as the assistant of the Palace Secretariat (Shang Shulang). Someone asked Dugan, saying: "At the beginning, when you were persecuted, people all over the world respected you. Moreover, you have so many relatives and friends. Why did you escape to the mountains alone and suffer so much?" Dugan said: "If I escape to ordinary people's homes instead of deserted villages, if I run into acquaintances and my whereabouts are revealed, it will bring disaster to my relatives and friends, so I refuse to do so." Bo Yang said: Regardless of political persecution or criminal arrests, general fugitives tend to seek refuge with their relatives and friends under key arrests, thinking that they will provide cover, and the ending is always tragic.One is that human nature shares happiness and happiness, and sharing adversity is not easy. When you go to visit in a high-powered car, your relatives and friends may mobilize the whole city to welcome you, but the situation is different when you are involved in a serious case. Once they change their hearts, you will fall into the trap yourself.Second, relatives and friends themselves are clues. Once the protagonist is found to be fleeing, it is impossible for the public security organs to go to the barren hills to search caves. Of course, they should first monitor your relatives and friends; Tracking, you have not reached the door, the ambush has stopped.The third is forever, you can’t hide in the cellar forever, even if this is the case, the order of relatives, friends and families will inevitably appear abnormal if you send tea and meals, and the possibility of not leaking the news is too small.The only way to save your life is to go to a place that has nothing to do with your three sticks.The sympathy of the world is valuable but unreliable. There are profiteers or those loyal to power everywhere.Later, when the "disaster of party ban" happened, the involvement was so extensive that almost the whole country was stained with blood, which reminded people that Dugan was not only wise but also benevolent. 5. On March 28th, Liu Hu respected his father Qinghe King (King of Filial Piety) Liu Qing as Emperor Xiaode, his mother Zuo Xiaoe as Empress Xiaode, and grandmother Song Guiren as Empress Jingyin. At first, Cai Lun, the traffic officer of Changle Palace (the servant of Changle), accepted the instigation of Empress Dou and participated in the conspiracy to frame the nobles of Song Dynasty (refer to 1982).Liu Hu ordered Cai Lun to report to the Ministry of Justice (Ting Wei).Cai Lun knew what was going to happen and committed suicide by taking poison. Bo Yang said: This Cai Lun is the eunuch who invented paper.The invention of paper is a great contribution, but the destruction of human rights is an unforgivable crime.It is a pity that paper was invented by a murderer of human rights. 6. In summer and April, the Goguryeo Kingdom once again united with the Xianbei tribe (in the central and northern parts of eastern Inner Mongolia) and invaded Liaodong County (Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province).Cai Xi, governor of Liaodong County, pursued and fought in Xinchang (northeast of Haicheng City, Liaoning Province) and died in battle.The personnel secretary (Gong Cao) Long Duan and the military secretary (Bing Ma) Gongsun Feng, who defended Cai Xi, died together. 7. On April 7th, Liu Huzun's aunt, Geng Ji, "the nobleman of Ganling" (Ganling, the tomb of Liu Hu's father Liu Qing, the county where Liu Hu set up, which is now Linqing City, Shandong Province). 8. On April 14th, Liu Chang (cousin of Liu Hu), the king of Lecheng (the capital of Xindu), was accused of arrogance and adultery, and violated the law, and was demoted to Marquis of Wuhu. 9. On April 19th, Liu Hu ordered the three princes, senior officials at the ministerial level, the county chief, and the prime minister of the state to recommend a person of moral character. The court secretary (Shangshu) Chen Zhong believed that since the emperor formally solicited outspoken persuasion through the imperial edict, considering that fierce speeches would inevitably occur, if the emperor could not bear it at that time, severe incidents would inevitably occur.In order to pave the way, he first wrote a letter to remind Liu Hu that he should have a broad mind, saying: "I once heard that a benevolent king has a mind as big as a mountain and as deep as water, and he uses it to listen to eager and straightforward criticism. So loyal cadres, It is possible to express opposing opinions without considering the emperor's reaction to harsh words. Therefore, Gao Zu (Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Western Han Dynasty) did not care that Zhou Chang criticized him as Silugui (Jie) and Zishouxin (Zhou. Zhou Chang was the highest supervisor Zhou Chang hurriedly withdrew, Liu Bang jumped up and grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, rode on his neck, and asked, "What kind of person am I?" King?" Zhou Chang raised his head and shouted: "You are a king like Si Lugui and Zi Shouxin!" Liu Bang laughed, but he was in awe of him in his heart); The "Human Pig" tragedy (refer to 178 BC); Emperor Wu (Liu Che, the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty) adopted Dongfang Shuo's protest against the use of the Xuanshi Hall to entertain the princess concubine (refer to 130 BC); Emperor Yuan (the eleventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty Liu Xi) tolerated the threat of Xue Guangde's suicide (refer to the first four or three years). Now, His Majesty issued an edict to make use of the kindness of Zi Wuding (the twenty-third emperor of the Shang Dynasty), and promote Zi Touman (the second emperor of the Song Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period) The sincerity of the eighteenth monarch Jinggong (when Zitouman was in power, Yinghuo Xing was close to Xinxing, and it was believed that disasters would happen to the monarch. The head of the Observatory asked to use sacrifices and prayers to transfer the disaster to senior officials. Zitouman Man refused, the heavens were moved by his kindness, Ying Huo Xing automatically backed away), admitted his mistakes, and asked officials to criticize (Liu Hu ordered civil and military officials to submit "personal secret performances"). Those who contributed opinions saw Du Gen, Cheng Yishi, etc. were promoted and gained glory in the "Second Taiwan" (Dugan was a law enforcement supervisor, and the Supreme Supervisory Office was called "Yushitai". Cheng Yishi was an assistant to the Palace Secretariat, and the Palace Secretariat was called "Shangshu "Taiwan". The word "Taiwan" began to appear, and later gradually replaced the word "Fu" and became the abbreviation of several important units of the central government). Your Majesty is welcome to adopt such a strange strategy. If your views are shallow or arrogant and sarcastic, even though they are nonsense and impractical, please be tolerant of your Majesty’s generosity, showing that the Shengming Dynasty has no taboo virtues. Assume that some scholars and experts are answering questions If you have a particularly profound opinion, please review it in detail, and use it to spread the word." After the memorial was submitted, Liu Hu issued an imperial edict to appoint Shi Yan, a man of Peiguo (capital Xiangxian County) with excellent moral character and high examination results, as a court attendant (servant). 10. At first, Xue Bao, a native of Runan County (Northwest Sheqiao Township, Pingyu County, Henan Province), was famous for his filial piety when he was young.After the father married his stepmother, he began to hate Xue Bao, gave him a family property, and taught him to start another family.Xue Bao cried day and night and refused to leave. His father beat him. Xue Bao had no choice but to build a house outside the gate, and went home early in the morning to clean the courtyard.His father lost his temper and drove him away. Xue Bao built another house at the entrance of the alley. In the morning and evening, he always went home to greet his father and stepmother.After more than a year, the father and stepmother felt ashamed and finally let him go home.When the father and stepmother passed away, several juniors asked to separate and live independently.Xue Bao couldn't stop it, so he divided the inheritance; servants and maidservants, Xue Bao chose the older ones, saying: "They have spent the longest time with me, I am afraid you can't be dispatched." The fields and houses, Xue Bao chose the barren ones, saying: "I personally farmed them when I was young, and I have a feeling for them." For furniture, Xue Bao chose the old ones, and said, "I have always used them, and they are comfortable and easy to use." The younger generation went bankrupt several times in a row, and Xue Bao always rescued them. When Liu Hu heard about this, he specially ordered the Palace Gate Reception Office (bus) to recruit him, and after reporting for duty, appointed him as a court attendant.Xue Bao resolutely declined, saying that he would rather die.Liu Hu gave permission to return to his hometown, and treated Xue Bao preferentially in accordance with the precedent of preferential treatment of Mao Yi (Mao Yi, refer to 1984). 11. When Liu Hu was young, everyone said he was smart, so the empress dowager Deng Sui chose him as emperor.However, when he was a little older, his bad nature was exposed, and he became very evil. Deng Sui was a little disappointed.Liu Hu's nanny Wang Sheng understood Deng Sui's thoughts.Coincidentally, Deng Sui recruited Liu Yi, son of Liu Shou (Uncle Liu Hu), King Jibei (capital Lu County), and Liu Yi, son of Liu Kai (Uncle Liu Hu), King Hejian (capital Lecheng), to Luoyang, the capital.Deng Sui admired Liu Yi's appearance very much, and ordered Liu Yi to be the heir of Pingyuan (Huai) King Liu Long (refer to April last year), and stay in the capital (Liu Yi, Liu Long, and Liu Hu are all the fifth generation of the royal family) cousins).Seeing that the Empress Dowager Deng Sui had always held power and refused to return the emperor, Wang Sheng was afraid of changes, so he surrounded Liu Hu with the middle-level eunuchs (Zhonghuangmen) Li Run and Jiang Jing of the Forbidden Palace; Empress Dowager Deng Sui's small report, said all the bad things to provoke feelings, Liu Hu was full of resentment and fear. When Deng Sui passed away, some court ladies who had been punished before hated Deng Sui, so they falsely accused Deng Sui's brothers Deng Kui, Deng Hong, and Deng Chang (all of whom had passed away) to Liu Hu. Ask for the files of the deposed emperor, intending to replace Liu Yi.Liu Ku recalled the clues of the past, and was furious for a moment, determined to take revenge.Order the relevant units to impeach Deng Kui and others for treason, and then, after receiving the impeachment memorial, order to deprive the following people of titles: Xiping Hou Deng Guangzong (son of Deng Kui, should be named Yehou), Yehou Deng Guangde (son of Deng Hong, should be named Xiping Hou), Xihua Hou Deng Zhong (son of Deng Chang), Yangan Hou Deng Zhen (son of Deng Kui's elder brother Deng Jing), Duxiang Hou Deng Fude (Deng Hong's youngest son), all were demoted to common people.Only Deng Zhi, because he did not participate in the conspiracy, was only exempted from "special advancement" (he was under the Sangong and above the princes at the court meeting), and was sent back to the feudal state (Shangcai State, now Shangcai County, Henan Province).Those of the Deng family who worked in the government were all dismissed and returned to their own county (the Deng family is from Nanyang County).The property of everyone below Deng Zhi will be confiscated.He also exiled Deng Fang and his family members to distant counties. Then, the county government and the county government ruthlessly persecuted Deng's family, and Deng Guangzong and Deng Zhong committed suicide.Liu Hu changed his title to Deng Zhidang Luohou (Fengguo Luo County, now Miluo City, Hunan Province. It is 500 kilometers away from the original Fengguo Shangcai Aviation. It was not developed at that time, which was equivalent to relegation to the wilderness).On May 1, Deng Zhi and his son Deng Feng died of a hunger strike.Deng Zhi's cousin, the mayor of Luoyang (Henan Yin) Deng Bao, the northern frontier commander (General Du Liao) Wuyang Hou Deng Zun, and the engineering director (will be a master) Deng Chang all committed suicide.Only Brother Deng Guangde, because his mother and Empress Yan Ji are sisters, survived and stayed in the capital Luoyang. Liu Hu appointed Geng Kui as the commander of the northern frontier defense (General Du Liao).Conscripted Le'an Hou Deng Kang to the capital (Deng Yu's third son, Deng Zhen, was given the title of Yi'an Hou. Deng Kang was Deng Zhen's son and inherited the title. Deng Kang was once removed from the genealogy by Deng Sui, refer to 120. "Le'an" should be "Yi'an"), and Deng Kang was appointed Minister of Communications (Private servant). On May 17, Liu Yi, the king of Pingyuan (the capital of Pingyuan), was demoted as the capital of the township, and he was sent back to Hejian (the capital of Lecheng, the country of his father Liu Kai).Liu Yi knew what catastrophe he had caused, so he stayed behind closed doors and did not receive guests, so he got rid of the catastrophe. 12. In the beginning, when Liu Zhaofeng, the fourth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Hedi), made Deng Sui his queen (102), Zhang Yu, the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces (Taiwei), and Xu Fang, the prime minister (Situ), planned to communicate with the Supreme Supervision The chief (Sikong) Chen Chong, please posthumously honor Deng Sui's father Deng Xun.Chen Chong believed that there was no such case before, so he refused to sign it.After debating for several days, Chen Chong insisted on his position.Of course, this cannot prevent the pursuit of the title. When the emperor issued an edict to pursue the title of Deng Xun (Ping Shouhou), Zhang Yu and Xu Fang invited Chen Chong to send their sons to the Huben guard commander (Hu Ben Zhonglang General) Deng Zhi (Deng Zhi) Xun's eldest son) offered a gift to congratulate him, but Chen Chong also refused.Therefore, Chen Zhong, Chen Chong's son, could not be promoted to a high official position when Deng Jiaban was in power.The Deng family class was wiped out, and Chen Zhong became the court secretary (Shangshu). He took the opportunity to take revenge, and kept writing to Liu Hu, weaving the Deng family's crimes, inciting Liu Hu to take tough measures (Hu Sanxing's original note: Chen Chong's actions were right, Chen Zhong would be wrong). Minister of Agriculture and Forestry (Da Si Nong) Zhu Chong from Jingzhao (Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province) was deeply saddened by the persecution of Deng Zhi's innocence and determined to stand up.So he showed his arms, carried the coffin, and wrote a letter to Liu Hu, pleading for Deng Zhi and others: "Queen Hexi (Deng Sui) has the most holy and good character, which can be compared to the "Wenmu" of the Han Dynasty (Wang Wuwang, the first king of the Zhou Dynasty. Tai Ren, Ji Fa's grandmother), and some of her brothers were loyal, filial, benevolent, concerned about state affairs, and contributed together. So that the royal temple has a presiding person, and the royal throne has a trustworthy entrustment (referring to Liu Hu). After the completion of the work (welcome Liu Hu), retired on their own, and resigned from the titles and fiefs that were rewarded to them. All the empress families in the past could not compare with them. Just when their kindness and modesty were blessed by heaven, they were suddenly falsely accused by the one-sided words of the court lady. The sharp tongue is very sinister, and it has plunged the country into chaos. However, there is no positive evidence for the accusation, and there is neither investigation nor interrogation. Deng Zhi and others have suffered such a cruel disaster. A family of seven, all died (Seven: Deng Zhi, Deng Zhi's cousins ​​Deng Bao, Deng Zun, Deng Yang, Deng Zhi's son Deng Feng, Deng Feng's cousins ​​Deng Guangzong, Deng Zhong), the corpses were scattered all over the place, and the ghosts could not return to the graves of their ancestors. Violation Destiny, loss of harmony, the whole world, everyone is sad. I ask for permission to return their corpses to their hometowns to appease the orphans they left behind, so that they can offer incense and comfort the spirits of the dead in heaven." Knowing that his words were too violent, Zhu Chong took the initiative to report to the prison (Tingwei) of the Ministry of Justice.Chen Zhong did not allow the existence of rebellion, and immediately impeached Zhu Chong.Liu Hu ordered Zhu Chong to be removed from office and returned to his hometown. Most people mourn for Deng Zhi, thinking that he was wronged, and Liu Hu is also a little bit enlightened.Therefore, he blamed the prefectural and county governments for not persecuting them, and allowed Deng Zhi's body to be transported back to Mangshan (the soil mountain range between Luoyang and the Yellow River in the southeast of Mengjin County, Henan Province) for burial; he also allowed Deng's cousins ​​to return to the capital Luoyang. 13. Liu Hu appointed the elder brother of his aunt Geng Guiren, Mouping Hou Geng Bao, as the left wing director of Yulin Army (supervising Yulin Zuojun's chariot).The four sons of grandmother Song Guiren and father Song Yang (Liu Huwai's great-grandfather) were all made Marquis (Song Guiren and his father Song Yang were framed, refer to 1982).There are more than ten members of the Song family who are ministers (qing), commanders (schools), court attendants (servants), state officials (doctors), royal protocol officers (visitors) and junior officials (langli).Yan Xian, Yan Jing, and Yan Yao, the brothers of Empress Liu Hu Yan Ji, were reused at the same time, serving as Minister (Qing) and Commander (School) respectively, commanding the Royal Guards.History has reached the first turning point, the bed love, extended to the government (the mother clan has always been in power in the Han Dynasty, and now the wife clan is in power). Because of the eunuch Jiang Jing, Liu Hu was sent to the Qinghe Hotel (Qinghe Lang) to welcome him into the palace and ascend the throne. He believed that Jiangjing had made meritorious service, and he was named the capital of the country. 106).Li Run was granted the title of Marquis of Yongxiang; the two of them served as eunuchs (zhongchangshi) together in the sleeping hall.Jiang Jing and the head of the empress's palace (Da Changqiu), together with another eunuch Fan Feng who served in the bedroom, Liu An, the head eunuch (Huang Menling), Chen Da, the manager of palace garden utensils (Hookedun order), and Liu Hu's nanny Wang Sheng , Wang Sheng's daughter, Bo Rong (surname unknown), formed a front, running inside and outside, competing with each other in luxury, corruption, cruelty and violence.Bo Rong, in particular, came and went in and out of the palace casually, without taboos, and engaged in large-scale treacherous activities. The prime minister (Situ) Yang Zhen wrote a letter, saying: "I once heard that in governing the country, the first priority is to obtain talented people, and the first priority is to eliminate traitors. Yiqi Fangxun (Tang) and Yao Chonghua (Yu) were in power. At that time, the heroes were in power, and the "four evils" were either killed or exiled, and the world admired and the hearts of the people were harmonious. Today, people who possess the "nine virtues" ("Shangshu Gao Taomo") believe that the following nine behaviors are The highest virtue: "Kindness and chestnut, soft and standing, willing and respectful, disorderly and respectful, disturbing and resolute, straightforward and gentle, simple and honest, rigid and formidable, strong and righteous."), none of them served in the government; and sycophants Such evil people are full of government. The nanny Wang Sheng, who came from a humble background, encountered a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity to serve His Majesty. Although it was hard work to catch shit and urine, the rewards for her were far beyond what she deserved. But she is not satisfied, does not know restraint, constantly interferes in administrative justice, causes chaos in the country, harms the government, and defiles the sun and the moon. Women and villains, she is happy when they are close to her, and resentful when they are far away from her. It is really difficult to feed ( Confucius language, but the original text is: "She doesn't know how to measure when approaching her", which has a profound meaning. Once Yang Zhen changed it, he was weak and weak, and showed loopholes. The emperor is close to the prime minister, and the prime minister is also happy). Your Majesty please order The nanny quickly moved out of the palace and taught her to live outside the palace. Your Majesty should also sever the relationship with Bo Rong and stop seeing each other. Only in this way can the kindness be kept forever and everyone will be praised." After the memorial was presented, Liu Hu When it was circulated to Wang Sheng and others, the nursing gang was outraged and hated Yang Zhen to the bone. Bo Rong was the most proud and promiscuous member of the Nuanai gang, and he committed adultery with Liu Huan, the cousin of the former Marquis of Chaoyang Liu Hu, and Liu Yu married her as his wife.Yang Zhen wrote a letter to protest, saying: "In the normal system, when the father dies, the son inherits, the elder brother dies, and the younger brother inherits. The purpose is to prevent rebellion and usurpation. Now, the imperial edict is issued, and Liu Hu, the distant cousin of the late Chaoyang Marquis Liu Hu, will be named. The title of guard is shocking. Liu Hu's younger brother, Liu Wei, is still alive. I have heard that the emperor has the power to confer titles, but only those who have contributed to the country; People. Today, Liu Yu has neither merit nor virtue. Just because he married the nanny's daughter, he was promoted to a high position in the court entourage (more than two thousand stones) in an instant, and he was even promoted to a marquis; Even the passers-by on the road were amazed, and the people felt uneasy. Your Majesty should refer to the past history and stick to the position of the king." Palace Secretary (Shang Shu) Zhai Feng from Guangling (Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province) also wrote a letter to advise, saying: "In the past, the favor and honor received by the Dou family and the Deng family shocked the whole world, and each of them held several important positions. , the family wealth is incalculable, and even interfered with the country's plans and replaced the emperor. Isn't it because of too much power and too high prestige that this kind of thing happened? When it fails, the head falls to the ground, and it is too late to be a pig. It is not due to gradual accumulation, it will be lost suddenly. If the official position and power are not obtained according to the normal track, the disaster will surely come quickly. Now, the favor of the empress family has never been so grand since the establishment of the Han Dynasty (Two Han Dynasty). Your Majesty is indeed In order to promote kindness and harmony with the nine families. However, not only the government can no longer control the salary, but even the power of the country has slipped into private sects. How can we avoid destruction if we drive again on the track that once overturned! This is the minimum for national safety and peril. The separation is also an important moment for the interruption of royal sacrifices. In the past, Emperor Wen (Liu Heng, the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty) was reluctant to spend 2,000 taels of gold to build a terrace (refer to 157 BC); in the palace, he collected and presented memorials Some people ridiculed him for being too frugal, and he said: "I guard the money for the people of the world, how can I waste it?" ），赏赐的费用，已无法计算。聚敛天下财富，却堆积到对国对民毫无贡献的家庭之中，国库枯竭，民生凋敝。万一发生大的变故，又要加重田赋捐税；人民怨恨长久累积，立刻就会招致战乱。请求陛下物色忠贞，诛杀或疏远奸佞，割舍情欲上的欢娱，撤除私心上的爱好；常想到亡国之君，如何亡国？创业之君，如何兴起？这样才有可能平息灾难，招致丰收。”奏章呈上后，刘祜全不理会。 14、秋季，七月一日，改年号（之前是永宁二年，之后是建光元年），赦天下。 15、七月二十四日，全国武装部队总司令马英逝世。 16、西羌烧当部落（渭水上游一带）头目忍良等，认为麻奴兄弟本是烧当酋长的嫡亲后裔（参考一〇七年），而西羌保安司令马贤，却没有照顾。由不满而愤恨，终于互相结合，裹胁其他部落，攻击湟中（青海省东北部）及金城郡（甘肃省陇西县）所属各县。 八月，马贤率领已归附政府的先零部落（宁夏），发动反击，在养马场会战（两汉王朝沿边各郡，都有养马场设置，豢养战马），马贤失败。麻奴等又攻击令居（甘肃省永登县西·西羌保安司令部所在），击败武威（甘肃省武威市）、张掖（甘肃省张掖市）二郡民兵；乘胜裹胁先零部落、沈氐部落（陕西省北部）等四千余户，沿着祁连山西上，攻击武威。马贤尾追，抵达鸾鸟（武威市南），用心战招降，各部落归降的有数千户。麻奴撤退到湟中。 17、八月十六日，东汉政府任命前任宰相（司徒）刘恺，当全国武装部队总司令（太尉）。 最初，清河国（首府甘陵）宰相叔孙光，被控贪污判刑，父子二人剥夺公权两代。本年，居延移民区（内蒙古额济纳旗）司令官（都尉）范邠，也被控贪污判刑，政府打算援引叔孙光前例，连同他的儿子，一并剥夺公权终身。刘恺挺身反对，认为：“《春秋》显示的大义，美好德行的报偿，应延伸到子孙身上；犯罪行为的处罚，应仅限于自己承受（《春秋公羊传》原文：“君子之善善也长，恶恶也短。恶恶止其身，善善及子孙。”）。目的在鼓励人们向善。如今，对贪污犯的处罚，竟剥夺到其子孙的终身公权，罪轻而罚重。刑罚太滥，恐怕伤害善良，不是先王（历代圣明君王）所以设立刑罚的原意。”宫廷秘书陈忠也赞成刘恺的意见。刘祜下诏：“总司令（刘恺）的见解对了。” 18、鲜卑部落（内蒙古东部中部及以北地区）酋长其至鞬，攻击居庸关（北京市昌平县西北）。 九月，云中（内蒙古托克托县）郡长成严反击，大败。行政官（功曹）杨穆保护成严，二人同时阵亡。鲜卑遂包围乌桓保安司令（乌桓校尉）徐常驻防的马城（河北省怀安县）。北疆边防司令耿夔跟幽州（河北省北部及辽宁省）州长（刺史）庞参，动员广阳郡（北京市）、渔阳郡（北京市密云县）、涿郡（河北省涿州市）三郡部队增援，鲜卑解围撤退。 19、九月十日，刘祜前往皇城保安司令（卫尉）冯石家，逗留十余天，大吃大喝，赏赐丰富，擢升冯石的儿子冯世当禁宫侍从官（黄门侍郎），冯世的两个弟弟，都当初级禁卫官（郎中）。冯石，是阳邑侯冯鲂的孙儿。老爹冯柱，娶二任帝（明帝）刘庄的女儿获嘉公主刘姬为妻；冯石继承娘亲的爵位，封获嘉侯，善于取悦别人，所以受到刘祜宠爱。 20、京师（首都洛阳）及二十七个郡和封国大雨成灾。 21、冬季，十一月十二日，三十五个郡和封国地震。 22、鲜卑部落攻击玄菟郡（辽宁省沈阳市）。 23、宫廷秘书长（尚书令）祋讽（祋，音dui）等奏称：“孝文皇帝（西汉五任帝刘恒）制定简单的礼仪（刘恒逝世时，遗诏规定三十六日即可脱掉丧服，参考前一五七年；后世一直奉行），光武皇帝（东汉一任帝刘秀）不准臣僚因父母逝世而长期休假。这是万世应遵循的法则，不可改变。应撤销大臣守三年之丧（休假三年）的规定。” 宫廷秘书（尚书）陈忠上书力争，说：“高祖（西汉一任帝刘邦）接受天命，萧何创立制度，大臣有守三年之丧的规定，合乎哀伤的大义。东汉王朝建立，正当大乱之后，国家各种法令规章，多数都很简单明了，高级官员既不坚持三年之丧，中级以下官员为了功名利禄，更很少有人遵守三年之丧，上报亲恩；于礼于义，都是亏欠。陛下准许高级官员守丧三年，这是圣明君王最大最美的功业，实在无以复加。孟轲说：'尊敬我的长辈，更推及到别人的长辈。爱护我的幼儿，更推及到别人的幼儿。天下国家虽大，可以运转在手掌之上。'我盼望陛下登高北望（北望甘陵），用你对甘陵（老爹刘庆的坟墓）的思念之情，推想臣子之心，则四海之内，人人各得其所。”但宦官认为父母死亡，要守三年之丧（休假三年），对自己不利，坚决反对。陈忠的建议，竟被搁置。 十一月二十三日，刘祜下诏：部长级以上高级官员，不再守三年之丧（一一六年，恢复古制，准许大臣守三年之丧）。 Yuan Hong said: 古代帝王，所以能够使人民行为笃实，使社会风气优美，引导人民向善，主要的在于顺其自然，绝不勉强压制先天的感情，而有些人仍然不能感化。何况毁弃礼教，不准他哀思，灭绝天性！ Bo Yang said: 曾参说：“慎终追远，民德归厚。”原意不仅仅要美化风俗，主要的还是要顺乎人性，流露真实感情。为了使人子在丧亲的痛彻肺腑的悲恸中，适当的表达永诀哀思，葬礼因之而兴。可是儒家学派的丧礼，却十分异样。除了弄一大堆丧服规矩外，又弄了一大堆更复杂、更深不可测的仪式，把死人的妻子儿女，折腾得筋疲力尽，甚至倾家荡产。直到二十世纪三〇年代，丧礼中仅只“点主”——请当地乡绅在牌位“王”字上，用朱砂笔捺上一点，就要跪跪拜拜，唱唱喊喊，热闹几个小时，花费一二两黄金之多，点主的那个家伙，不能白来。 然而，最可怖的还是儒家学派坚持的“三年之丧”，当儿子的要对死去的爹娘，哀悼三年，在这三年之中，要不断哭泣，不能吃干饭，只能吃稀粥；不能睡床，只能睡在地面的草席上；不能用枕头，头下只能枕土块（当然，枕石头大概也行）；不能穿普通衣服，只能穿特制的麻质孝服（事实上只能套在衣服上，不能穿到身上，因为它过度粗糙）。而且必须瘦得皮包骨头，脸面黄黑，双目昏花，耳朵半聋。最标准的孝子是：奄奄一息，必须有人扶着才能起床，靠着手杖，才能走路；住在用土坯做墙的房子里，三年之间，不能跟妻子亲热，不能有笑容，甚至不能言语。儒家学派最骄傲，动辄抬出来亮相的一位先生是：“子武丁守丧，三年不说一句话（高宗谅阴，三年不言）。” 这种“三年之丧”，在春秋时代便因为行不通而被扬弃，墨家学派只主张守三月之丧就够了，大力抨击守三年之丧的荒谬。但儒家学派却坚决复古，并把三年之丧作为检验一个人道德学问和一个国家盛衰兴亡的标准。 三年之丧是贵族、地主阶级的一种休闲性的游戏，一个升斗小民，一天不工作便一天没有饭吃，如果守三年之丧（休假三年），全家岂不都成了僵尸？不但小民无法奉行，对一个政府官员而言，也承受不住三年之丧的打击。三年之后（如果他过度不幸，老娘丧命三年之后，老爹又死，就是六年），再回到政坛，形势已经大变。于是，有些人羡慕别人爹娘死得早，有些人深恨自己爹娘死得迟，有些人一听说爹娘病重，便责备两个老东西为什么不好好保养？有些人一听说爹娘病故，就连夜挖坑，草草埋葬，然后一手遮天，硬说二老仍在。 在以后的史迹上，三年之丧的节目不断出现，并且成为一种掠夺名声和权势的手段，更成为一种政治斗争武器，父母不但不是人子孝思的对象，反而成了贪婪卑鄙勾当的工具，就更使人遗憾。 24、十二月，高句丽王国（首都国内城）国王（六任太祖王）高宫，率领马韩地区、濊貊部落（朝鲜半岛东北部）的数千骑兵，包围玄菟郡。（朝鲜半岛进入二世纪后，南部半岛三个组织松懈的国家，作“品”字状，同时崛起，中部是弁韩，西南是马韩，东南是辰韩，总称“三韩”，也称“盖国”。玄菟郡郡政府因不断北迁，而有“第一玄菟”“第二玄菟”之别，此时郡政府在高句丽县，即辽宁省沈阳市。）夫馀王国（大兴安岭东东北平原）国王派儿子尉仇台率二万余人，跟州郡政府民兵结合，击溃高句丽王国攻势。 本年，高句丽王（六任太祖王）高宫逝世，儿子高遂成继位（七任次大王）。玄菟郡郡长姚光上书，要求乘他们正逢大丧，出兵攻击。中央政府参与决策的人都认为应该抓住这个良机。宫廷秘书陈忠反对，说：“高宫狡狯，姚光对他没有办法，却在对方死后，发动攻击，理不直，气不壮。此时，我们应该派出吊丧使节，前往悼唁。顺便质问他们总是侵犯的罪过，表示不追究既往，这样还可能得到善意回报。”刘祜采纳。 1、春季，三月二日，东汉王朝（首都洛阳）改年号（之前是建光二年，之后是延光元年），赦天下。 2、西羌保安司令（护羌校尉）马贤，追击烧当部落（湟中一带）酋长麻奴，大军进入湟中（青海省东北部），大破烧当等联合部队；其他部落纷纷逃散（之后在青海湖畔定居）。 3、夏季，四月九日，京师（首都洛阳）以及二十一个郡及封国，天降冰雹。河西走廊（甘肃捧中西部）冰雹大小如斗（冰雹大如鸡蛋，已够可怕。再大如斗，当时房舍，没有一家可以承当，势将杀人无数）。 4、幽州（河北省北部及辽宁省）州长（刺史）冯焕、玄菟郡（辽宁省沈阳市）郡长姚光，疾恶如仇，揭发奸邪，对贪赃枉法罪行，毫不留情的严厉处罚。仇家无计可施，遂假造一份皇帝诏书：斥责冯焕、姚光为非作歹；赐下刑刀，命二人自杀。然后再假造第二份皇帝诏书，下达辽东（辽宁省辽阳市）民兵司令（都尉）庞奋，命庞奋催促行刑。庞奋遂斩姚光，逮捕冯焕。冯焕打算自杀，他的儿子冯绲怀疑诏书的真实性，劝阻老爹说：“你主持州政府时，目的只在除奸去恶，并没有别的事故。一定是仇家使用诈术，下此毒手。我们应该呈报中央，如果真是皇上旨意，再死不迟。” 冯焕接受儿子的建议，上书辩护，这才发现真相，果是仇家奸计。于是，把庞奋征召到首都洛阳，处罚他应得的罪刑。 5、四月十九日，最高监察长（司空）陈褒免职。 五月七日，擢升皇族事务部长（宗正）彭城（首府彭城）人刘授，当最高监察长。 6、五月二十六日，封河间（孝）王（首府乐成）刘开（刘祜叔父）的儿子刘德，当安平王（首府信都），作为乐成（靖）王（首府信都）刘党（参考九六年四月）的后裔（孙儿）。 7、六月，各郡、各封国蝗虫成灾。 8、秋季，七月一日，京师（首都洛阳）及十三个郡和封国地震。 9、高句丽王国（首都国内城）国王（七任次大王）高遂成，把掳掠的人民牲畜，交还东汉政府，到玄菟郡（辽宁省沈阳市）归附。之后，濊貊部落（朝鲜半岛东部）也陆续归附。东北边界，逐渐平安无事。 10、羌民族虔人部落（河套东北角一带）跟上郡（陕西省榆林市南鱼河堡，此为原郡政府所在地）一带胡人（以匈奴人为主的外国人），武装叛变。北疆边防司令（度辽将军）耿夔，把他们击溃。 11、八月，西汉六任帝（景帝）刘启墓园（阳陵·陕西省咸阳市东北二十五千米）火灾。 12、九月七日（原文“甲戌”，据《后汉书·五行志》改），二十七个郡和封国地震。 13、鲜卑部落（内蒙古东部中部及以北地区）不断攻击汉朝边疆，击斩不少郡长，而汉朝毫无反应，胆量遂越来越大。现役骑兵，已达数万之众。冬季，十月，再攻击雁门郡（山西省朔州市东南）、定襄郡（山西省右玉县）。十一月，再攻击太原郡（山西省太原市）。 14、烧当部落（青海湖东畔）酋长麻奴，饥饿窘困，不能支持，率领部众，投奔汉阳（甘肃省甘谷县）郡长耿种，归降。 15、本年，京师及二十七郡和封国大雨成灾。 16、东汉帝（六任安帝）刘祜（本年二十九岁）派遣禁宫侍从宦官（黄门）、寝殿侍奉宦官（常侍）以及皇帝密使（中使）伯荣，不断前往甘陵（刘祜老爹清河王刘庆坟墓，在山东省临清市，距洛阳航空距离五百千米）。宫廷秘书署执行官（尚书仆射）陈忠，上书说： “而今，上天并没有回心转意，所以水灾旱灾，不断发生。青州（山东省北部）、冀州（河北省中部南部）一带，大雨在上不停，堤防在下溃决，徐岱（即徐州·江苏省北部）沿海一带，海水倒灌，兖州（山东省西部）、豫州（河南省）一带，蝗虫繁衍。荆州（湖北省及湖南省）、扬州（安徽省中部及江南地区），稻谷歉收。并州（山西省及黄河河套地区）、凉州（甘肃省），西羌叛变，人民穷苦，政府困乏。 “陛下因为不能亲自侍奉孝德皇（老爹刘庆）的墓园，所以最近常常派遣密使（中使），到甘陵进香，朱红色的车辆，健壮的并辔良马，在道路上飞腾奔驰，前后相望，应该是最大的孝心。 “可是，我在侧面听到消息，那些使节所经过的地方，威风凛凛，不可一世，他们一到，郡县都惊恐震动。王爵、侯爵、郡长级（二千石）官员，见了伯荣，都在车前下拜。于是，征发民夫，修筑道路，整理驿站亭阁，充实储备物资。差役没有限度，老的老、小的小，被强迫征调，动不动就是一万人（民夫差役，政府不但不给工资，连饮食都要自备，比西方世界的苦刑犯更苦，因苦刑犯用不着自带伙食）。 “为了自保，人民只好行贿，仅只送给奴仆的绸缎，每人都要数百匹。农家被逼得血泪都干，躺在地上呻吟，痛彻心肺。河间王（刘开）是陛下的叔父，清河国（首府甘陵）是陛下父母坟墓所在，可是，他们的高级官员，在伯荣车前，都得一一行礼。陛下如果不查问纠正，大家必然认为：陛下的本意就是如此。伯荣的威信，超过陛下；陛下的权柄，掌握在左右奴仆婢女小老婆手中。大水不断成灾，正是为了这个缘故。 “从前，韩嫣乘坐皇帝的备用御车，奉命公干；江都王（首府广陵）刘非误认为皇帝（西汉七任帝刘彻）驾到，急忙下拜，韩嫣遂被诛杀（刘彻宠爱韩嫣，常睡在一张床上。刘彻到御花园打猎，车队还没有出发，命韩嫣乘皇帝的备用御车，在数十数百骑兵保护下，先行察看野兽。皇弟刘非误认为是刘彻，俯伏在道旁接驾，韩嫣没有看见，扬长而去。刘非气得发抖，向皇太后王娡流泪控告）。我盼望圣明的君王，应展现元首的尊严，使正派的阳刚人士，重握权柄，不应该再使一些女子，干预政治。考察左右，有没有石显那种奸邪人物（参考前三七年）？考察宫廷秘书（尚书）、参议官（纳言）群中，有没有赵昌陷害郑崇那种诈欺行为（参考前三年）？考察高级官员中，有没有像朱博倚靠傅姓皇后家族那样得到外援（参考前五年）？而在皇后家族中，有没有王凤谋杀王商（非王家班）那种阴谋（参考前二五年）？如果国家大事，只有皇上一人发号施令，大计方针，只由皇上一人决定，则在下位的人才不能威胁在上位的人，当臣僚的才不能干预君王。到那时候，大雨大水，就会停止。即令四方仍有灾变，也不会造成伤害。”奏章呈递后，刘祜不理。 东汉政府三公虽居高位（三公：宰相、最高监察长、全国武装部队总司令），并没有实权，实权在宫廷秘书之手。重要的机密军国大事，全由宫廷秘书负责处理。可是，一旦发生天灾人祸，却责备三公，予以免职、（东汉王朝的三公，不过聋子的耳朵，摆样儿而已，权在宫廷秘书署。宫廷秘书署遂开始蜕变，到了下世纪，终于代替宰相。中国政治制度的发展，班班可考）。于是，陈忠再上书建议：“汉王朝（两汉王朝）建立以来，有一项政治习惯，宰相所作的请求，皇上从不拒绝。现在的三公，虽然跟从前的三公名称相同，实质却不相同。无论推荐、保举、处罚、奖赏，全由宫廷秘书主持。宫廷秘书受到的信任，远超过三
