Chapter 21 7. The Yellow Turban Uprising

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 the first day of the first lunar month, the Eastern Han Dynasty (the capital Luoyang) pardoned the world.Emperor Liu Zhi (29 years old this year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the eleventh Emperor Huan) issued an edict to search for the descendants of Li Gu, the former commander-in-chief of the National Armed Forces (Taiwei). At the beginning, Li Gu was removed from office (146), and knowing that a catastrophe had occurred, he sent his sons Li Ji, Li Zi, and Li Xie back to their hometown (Hanzhong County).At that time, Li Xie was only thirteen years old, and his elder sister Li Wenji married Zhao Boying, a fellow villager. Seeing the two elder brothers come back, she understood the whole story and realized its seriousness. (Li He) Since then, how could the accumulation of kindness and virtues have ended up like this!” Conspired with the two elder brothers to hide the third younger brother Li Xie in advance, and the news came out: “Li Xie has returned to the capital (the capital Luoyang)!” Everyone believed it. .Soon (147), a catastrophe occurred. The state and county governments arrested Li Ji and Li Zi and executed them in prison.Li Wenji asked Wang Cheng, her father's student, to say: "You acted chivalrously for my father, and you have the morals of the ancients. Now, I entrust the orphan who is less than six feet tall to you. Whether the Li family will survive or die is in your hands."

Wang Cheng took Li Xie to the east on a Yangtze River ship and entered Xuzhou (northern Jiangsu Province). Li Xie changed his name and surname and worked as a servant in a hotel. I don't know each other, I only communicate secretly. After more than ten years, after Liang Ji was killed, Li Xie told the hotel owner about his life experience.The owner of the hotel was shocked, and prepared horses and horses and rich gifts to send Li Xie back to his hometown, but Li Xie would not accept it.After returning home, he mourned his father Li Gu again.Siblings meet each other, hug each other and cry, touching others.Sister Li Wenji said: "Our Li family's sacrificial incense is almost cut off. It is God's will that you escaped alive. Don't communicate with the outside world from now on. Remember, don't criticize the Liang family. If you criticize the Liang family, The Lord (Emperor Liu Zhi) is bound to be implicated, and catastrophe may come again, all we have to do is to blame ourselves." Li Xie accepted his sister's admonition.

Later, when Wang Cheng passed away, Li Xie buried him according to the etiquette, and put the memorial tablet on the high place for sacrifices during the festivals. Bo Yang said: What Li Wenji told my brother was every word and tear, what else can we say other than grief.However, the fear of good people is just an encouragement to evil, so we should think twice. 2. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Shan Chao, the eunuch of Xinfenghou, passed away.He was rewarded with the imperial burial objects (secret artifacts in the East Garden) and jade clothes with golden thread (jade objects in the coffin).During the burial, the cavalry unit of the Fifth Battalion of the Field Army (Northern Army) was dispatched to build a huge tomb under the supervision of the engineering director (will be a master).

Only the "Five Marquises" are left with the "Four Marquis", and the "Four Marquis" are becoming more and more brutal. There are four folk songs describing their image: "Zuo Huitian/Gu Du Zuo/Xu Crouching Tiger/Tang Yuqiu (Zuo Yi) With the power to return to heaven, heaven, referring to the "emperor", can reverse the decisions made by the emperor Liu Zhi. Gu Yuan is the only one who sits there, extremely proud. Xu Huang acts like a crouching tiger, ferocious and brutal. Tang Heng's power spreads all over the world, and his hands It penetrates everywhere, like a torrential rain)." They compete with each other to build high-rise buildings and pursue incomparable luxury; their servants all ride ox carts and have horse guards.Brothers and relatives are all governors and sheriffs, and they search and rob the people's property, just like bandits.People can't stand the tyranny in every corner, and often become bandits.

Hou Lan, the eunuch serving in the sleeping hall, and Duan Gui, the eunuch serving in the Forbidden Palace (Xiaohuangmen), all had huge estates along the border of Jibei Kingdom (the capital, Lu County), where servants and guests plundered and traveled.Teng Yan, the prime minister of Jibei Kingdom, wiped them all out, killed dozens of people, and put their bodies on the street for public display.Hou Lan and Duan Gui reported directly to Emperor Liu Zhi, and the central government recruited Teng Yan to Luoyang, the capital, where he was taken into custody by the Ministry of Justice (Ting Wei) and removed from office.

Zuo Ming’s older brother, Zuo Sheng, is the county magistrate of Hedong County (Xia County, Shanxi Province), the county magistrate of Pishi County (Hejin County, Shanxi Province), and Zhao Qi from Jingzhao (Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province). Shame, immediately resign and return home.Tang Heng's older brother, Tang Xuan, happens to be the mayor of Chang'an (Jing Zhaoyin), the western capital, and has long had a grudge with Zhao Qi. Taking this opportunity, he arrests all of Zhao Qi's family and relatives, and puts the terrible law on them. Execution (Which kind of terrible heavy law is it, there is no record in the history books. According to common sense, it should be "falsely accused of rebellion", because only the crime of rebellion can be dealt with bloody blows).Zhao Qi fled alone, traveled all over the country, changed his name and surname, and finally went to Beihai County (west of Changle County, Shandong Province) to make a living selling sesame seed cakes on the street.Sun Song from Anqiu (Anqiu County, Shandong Province) found that this cake seller was different from ordinary cake sellers, so he took him home and hid him in the wall.He didn't dare to come out until Brother Tang Heng passed away and was pardoned again.

It took more than forty days to reach Jishi Mountain (Animaqing Mountain in Qinghai Province). It has been more than 2,000 miles out of the fortress.After beheading and burning the chief of the He tribe, and accepting the surrender of the remaining tribes, he will be the teacher.

They only know that when other county chiefs sent officials to the people, either to pay taxes or collect people’s husbands, they didn’t stop until midnight. Sometimes the sound of dogs barking continued all night, and the people couldn’t help it. Peace. After your Excellency came to work, the dog never barked in the middle of the night, and the people could not see the officials. Unexpectedly, people are old and only meet the prosperous age of saints. Now, I heard that your Excellency will abandon us and leave. We support each other and come here Send them off." Liu Chong said: "How can my political achievements bear the praises of the gentlemen, I will work hard for all the elders."

Duan Jiong was recalled to Luoyang, the capital, imprisoned, sentenced to hard labor, and delivered to the left labor camp to serve. The Eastern Han government appointed Hu Hong, the prime minister of Jinan (the capital of Dongpingling), to replace the security commander of Xiqiang.Hu Hong had neither prestige nor strategy, so the Western Qiang forces were even more unstoppable. He kept capturing bunkers and fortresses, and lured other tribes and nationalities to attack the counties with great arrogance. Taishan County (east of Tai'an City, Shandong Province) Taishou (prefect) Huang Fugui wrote a letter saying: "Now, the thieves in the east have been wiped out, and Taishan County has basically restored peace, but I heard the news that the tribes of the Western Qiang rebelled. I He grew up in the area of ​​Binshan (south of Bin County, Shaanxi Province) and Qishan (northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). He is 59 years old this year and once worked in the county government of Anding County (the former county government was located in Shuguang Township, southeast of Zhenyuan County, Gansu Province). , When the Qiang people rebelled, I participated in the staff work of the county government. Unfortunately, I was right (Ma Xian, the commander of the Western Expedition Corps, was expected to be defeated, refer to 140). I can’t repay the emperor’s great kindness. I wish to give me an unimportant official position and a carriage at will, and send me to Sanfu to comfort the people, spread the prestige and kindness of the central government, and use my familiar knowledge of geography, mountains and rivers to help the armies. At the beginning, when I was lonely and desperate, in a dangerous city (referring to the day when I served in the Anding County Government), I observed the military actions of the county chief and generals for decades. From the southwest of Yuan County) to Mount Tai in the east (the air distance between the two places is 1,200 kilometers), the virus is the same (Niaoshu Mountain is the place where the Xianling tribe looted the most, and Taishan County is the place where Shusun Wuji, the leader of the mutated people, raised his troops It’s all about officials forcing people to rebel). Rather than looking for brave generals, it’s better to have peace in the world; than to be proficient in "Sun Wu’s Art of War", it’s better to be honest and upright. The last incident was not far away, which made me deeply worried. Therefore, Although it is outside the scope of my responsibility, I still state my opinion bluntly." Eastern Han Emperor (Eleventh Huan Emperor) Liu Zhi (30 years old this year) appointed Huangfu Gui as the Royal Guard Commander (Zhonglang General), "Chijie" Governor of all armed forces in Guanxi (west of Hangu Pass), and crusade against Zero Our tribe and other Western Qiang rebel groups.

It turned out that Sun Jun, the county magistrate of Anding County (Southeast Shuguang Township, Zhenyuan County, Gansu Province), was notorious for being corrupt and perverting the law.However, Li Xi, commander of the garrison in the immigrant area (subject to the capital of the country), and Zhang Feng, the supervisor of the three armies (supervisor and censor), killed too many Qiang people who returned (poor Qiang people, fighting is death, and surrender is also death).Guo Hong, governor of Liangzhou (inspector), and Zhao Xi, governor of Hanyang County (Gangu County, Gansu Province), are all old, weak, incompetent and incompetent.However, because of the support of powerful people, they ran rampant and lawless. After Huangfu Gui came to office, he listed the crimes one by one, wrote a letter of impeachment, some were removed from office, and some were executed.When the Qiang people heard the news, their attitude changed and they became closer to the government.More than 100,000 people, including Dianchang and Hungtian, the important chiefs of the Shendi tribe, surrendered to Huangfugui. 3.

Linglingman then rebelled. In winter, in October, Wuling (Changde City, Hunan Province) also rebelled and attacked Jiangling (the county where the Nanjun County Government is located·Jiangling County, Hubei Province). The head dissuaded and said: "The barbarians dared to take the chance because they found that the county government was not on guard. The county chief is a high-ranking cadre of the country, and the cities under his jurisdiction stretch for thousands of miles. If a military order is issued, a large banner is erected, and the drums are beaten high. One hundred thousand troops can be assembled. How can we throw away the responsibility of guarding the land and become a fugitive?" Li Su was so frightened that he was anxious to escape, so he drew out his saber and reached Hu Shuang's chest. Great truth!" Hu Shuang hugged the horse's neck, trying to persuade him, but Li Su hacked Hu Shuang to death with a saber before the horse ran away. Emperor Liu Zhi (31 years old this year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the eleventh Emperor Huan) received a report and recruited Li Su to Luoyang, the capital, where he was kidnapped and beheaded in the market.Liu Du and Ma Mu were sentenced to death sentences reduced by one grade.Hu Shuang's family was exempted from taxation and duty, and one member of Hu Shuang's family was appointed as a court guard (Lang). The court secretary (Shangshu) Zhu Mu recommended Dushang (du, surname) from Shanyang (Changyi Town, Northwest Jinxiang County, Shandong Province), the head of the labor camp in the western district (the right school order), to be the governor of Jingzhou. On October 22, the Minister of Sacrifice (Taichang) Feng Yu was appointed as the general of chariots and cavalry, leading an army of more than 100,000 people to crusade against the rebellious barbarian tribes in Wuling.It turned out that every commander of the army was framed by eunuchs and charged with "wasting military supplies", and was often unable to escape and was punished.In order to avoid this frame-up and make meritorious deeds, Feng Yan had no choice but to ask Liu Zhi to send a eunuch (Zhongchangshi) to supervise the military expenditure.Zhu Mu, the palace secretary, impeached Feng Min to avoid suspicion, which violated the integrity of senior state officials.Emperor Liu Zhi ordered: Do not impeach.Feng Yu then asked Yingfeng, the former head of Wuling County, to set off together as the chief of staff (worked as Zhonglang). In November, Feng Yu's corps arrived in Changsha, and the Han people's rebel group got the news, and they all surrendered to the camp.Feng Yu then attacked Wuling's rebellious tribes, killed more than 4,000 people, accepted more than 100,000 people, and Jingzhou was pacified.Liu Zhi issued an edict to reward Feng Yu with 100 million yuan. Feng Yu resolutely refused and refused to accept it. ), and then wrote to resign; the central government did not allow it. 10. The Dianna tribe of the Western Qiang attacked Wuwei (Wuwei City, Gansu Province), Zhangye, and Jiuquan. 11. Liu Ju, the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces (Taiwei), was dismissed, and Yang Bing, the Minister of Sacrifice (Taichang), was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces. 12. Huangfu stipulated that "Chijie" (representing the emperor in person) served as the commander of the army (the royal guard commander supervised the Guanxi soldiers), returned to his hometown, and supervised the military and government. He neither established personal favors nor established private parties. Instead, he treated corrupt officials and officials. Constant impeachment and punishment, let alone making friends with eunuchs.Therefore, as expected, from the palace to the counties, complaints abounded, and they insisted in unison that Huangfugui had no combat capability, but just bribed the rebel tribes of the Western Qiang to teach them to surrender on the surface.Emperor Liu Zhi issued an edict to reprimand Huangfu Gui. Huangfu Gui wrote a letter of defense, saying: "Last year (161) autumn, the barbarians mobilized, the old capital (Chang'an) panicked and feared, and the central government was deeply worried about the situation in the West. The Qiang tribes all bowed their heads and surrendered, saving more than 100 million military expenses. This is the duty of a loyal minister, and I dare not claim my credit. It would be a shame if I showed my contribution to the country. However, compared Looking back on my previous deeds (a group of defeated generals in the past), I don’t think I should regret it. At first, as soon as I entered the Liangzhou state boundary, I first impeached Sun Jun, Li Xi, and Zhang Tian. Later, I led the army to march south, and then Impeach Guo Hong and Zhao Xi. List their crimes one by one, and they should be sentenced to death according to the law. However, these five high-ranking officials are all part of the country. Down to the lowest level of employees, more than a hundred people were implicated. The subordinates made excuses to avenge the chief, and the sons wanted to avenge the shame of their father. Some brought gifts and money from them when they met, and rode in chariots and horses. Running around. Some carry food and go on foot; make friends with powerful and powerful families, spread vicious slanderous rumors, insisting that I secretly bribed the rebellious Qiang tribes and returned them coins or materials. If I use private property, I My family is poor, and I don’t have more than one stone (sound dan) of food. If I use the state’s public funds, the government’s paperwork and account books are all there, and it is easy to check. And, even if this is true, I am even more confused. In the past, the government I also rewarded the court lady to the Huns Khanate (referring to the story of Wang Zhaojun, refer to the first three or three years), and married the princess to the Wusun Kingdom (referring to Liu Xijun marrying the King of Wusun, refer to the first 105 years). Spending 10 million yuan, but receiving the effect of Huairou Qiang people. The resourcefulness of excellent senior cadres should be respected by strategists. What behaviors have I violated the law and discipline? Since the first ten years of this century (second century) Years to the present (in the 1960s), the government has dispatched many commanders, and five of them (Deng Zhi, Ren Shang, Sima Jun, Ma Xian, and Zhao Chong) were wiped out by the entire army, and the cost was hundreds of millions. On the day of returning to Beijing, the coins allocated by the central government for military pay were unsealed and shipped back to Luoyang, the capital, unopened, and sent directly to the homes of the powerful. However, they enjoyed a great reputation and established meritorious deeds. Now, I have returned to my hometown, investigated all the counties, severed all ties with my friends and relatives, and punished my old friends. It is reasonable for everyone to conspire to frame me." But Liu Zhi still recalled Huangfugui to the capital and appointed him as a councilor (Yilang).According to his meritorious service, he should be granted the title of Marquis. However, the eunuchs Xu Huang and Zuo Wei in the bedroom intend to extract enough gold and silver wealth from him; pay any bribes.Xu Huang and others had never been rejected by others, so they were furious and reopened the old account, accusing him of actually bribing the Qiang tribe to surrender on the surface, and handing over Huangfu Gui to the military court for trial. Huangfugui's subordinates knew the root of the disaster and planned to send it back. They asked the people in power (referring to Xu Huang and the like) to show mercy. Huangfugui vowed not to use such indignified means.As a result, the "remaining bandits have not been eliminated" clause was adopted, and he was detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice (Ting Wei), sentenced to hard labor, and escorted to serve in the Eastern District labor camp.More than 300 people, including Sangong and Zhang Feng, a national university student (tai student), went to the palace gate to sue Huangfugui for grievances.Coincidentally, the government issued an amnesty order before he was released and returned home. 1. In spring, on February 11th, the Prime Minister (Situ) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the capital Luoyang) Zhong Hao passed away. 2. On March 22, forgive the world. 3.

Li Yan, the leader of the rebels in Guiyang (Chenzhou City, Hunan Province), attacked the county border, and Wuling (Changde City, Hunan Province) rebelled again.Chen Ju, the county magistrate of Wuling County, sent troops to attack separately. The group of eunuchs always hated Feng Yu and took the opportunity to retaliate. In August, Feng Yu was accused of "the thieves reappeared after the army's division" (Guiyang County belongs to Jingzhou, which means that there were still thieves after Feng Yu pacified Jingzhou last year) and was dismissed. 8. In winter, on October 13th, Emperor Liu Zhi (32 years old) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (11th Emperor Huan) went to Guangcheng Imperial Garden (diwang is in Xin'an County, Henan Province) to hunt, and then took advantage of the momentum to go to Hangu Guan (Xin'an County, Henan Province), Shanglin Imperial Garden (West Luoyang). Chen Fan, the commander of the imperial guards (Guang Luxun), wrote a letter to dissuade him: "When the world is peaceful, hunting should be restrained. What's more, the country is in the crisis of 'three empty'-empty farmland, empty government, and empty warehouses. The military operations in various parts of the world have not stopped, and the people are fleeing in all directions. It is the time when His Majesty is worried, frowning, and unable to sleep all night. How can he show off his might and put his mind on the horses and horses? This year, there is a lot of rain in autumn. Farmers don’t go to the fields to plant wheat until winter. But now depriving them of farming time and teaching them to drive away animals and build roads is not the sage’s intention to be considerate of the people.” After the memorial was submitted, Liu Zhi ignored it. 9. In November, Liu Chong, the Supreme Inspector General (Sikong), was dismissed. In December, Zhou Jing, the commander of the security of the imperial city (Wei Wei), was promoted to be the chief inspector.Zhou Jing is the grandson of Zhou Rong (Zhou Rong, refer to the first month of 1992).At this time, the power of the eunuch was like a raging fire, unstoppable.Zhou Jing wrote to Yang Bing, the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces, saying: "Many central and local government officials are not suitable candidates. In the past, the law stipulated that children of eunuch families were not allowed to rise to high positions and hold power. But today, Not only the children of eunuchs, but even their guests and distant relatives are all over the government. Even young and mediocre, they are all high-ranking officials at the county level. Big officials and small officials, as well as common people everywhere, are all angry and resentful. We suggest: We should strictly abide by the traditional laws and regulations, eliminate those who are corrupt and pervert the law, and use it to eliminate the astronomical variation and the people's criticism. Please order the commander of the general garrison of Gyeonggi (Sili Xiaowei), ministers, county chiefs (Zhong Erqianshi), and the capital City Defense Commander (City Gate), Field Army Fifth Corps Commander (Fifth Battalion Lieutenant), Field Army Chief of Staff (Northern Army Central Marshal), and the cadres he belongs to should be thoroughly investigated. Those who should be dismissed should be reported to the three governments. If there are any omissions , Permission to continue reporting." Liu Zhi approved.So a major purge was launched. Yang Bing listed more than 50 people, including the governor, the county governor, and the governor (inspector) Yang Liang of Qingzhou (northern Shandong Province), for their crimes. 10. Liu Zhi issued an edict: Huangfu Gui was recruited to be the commander of the northern frontier defense (General Du Liao). At the beginning, Zhang Huan was accused of being Liang Ji's former subordinate, and he was removed from office and deprived of public rights (imprisoned). Some old friends made old friends, and no one dared to speak a word for him.Only Huangfugui recommended Zhang Huan to the central government, and submitted seven memorials in succession. The central government finally appointed Zhang Huan as the county magistrate of Wuwei County (Wuwei City, Gansu Province).Now, Huangfugui is the commander of the northern frontier defense. After only a few months in office, he recommended Zhang Huan again to the central government: "Talent and strategy are equally excellent. He should serve as the commander-in-chief of the army to meet the expectations of the people of the world. If you think that I If I am suitable for a military position, then I am willing to be demoted and become Zhang Huan's assistant." The central government approved that Zhang Huan be appointed to replace Huangfugui as the commander of the northern frontier defense, and Huangfugui was appointed as the commander of the Xiongnu's defense (to make the Xiongnu Zhonglang). 11. Officials and people's representatives of Xizhou (eastern Gansu Province) stood guard in front of the imperial palace, appealing for the former Xiqiang Security Commander (Huqiang Captain) Duan Jiong, and the number of people gathered more and more.Coincidentally, Dianna and other Qiang tribes became more powerful, and Liangzhou (Gansu Province) almost fell, so the Eastern Han government appointed Duan Jiong as the security commander of the Western Qiang. 12. The palace secretary (Shangshu) Zhu Mu hated the eunuchs' brutality and wrote a letter saying: "According to the traditional system of the dynasty, the officials in the bedroom are not limited to eunuchs, and there are often ordinary people. In the 1920s (Eastern Han Dynasty) After the establishment of the dynasty), it was changed to all eunuchs. After the first ten years of the 2nd century, the status of eunuchs gradually rose, and they wore 'Jin Dang You Diao' on their hats ("珰" is a kind of precious decoration on hats, "It is the mink's tail, which hangs from the right side of the brim to the right shoulder), and often sits on an equal footing with the high-status court attendants (waiters). The administrative power of the government falls into their hands one by one. This power makes them shake the whole country. Incomparable, even their children and even relatives bear the heavy responsibility of the country. No one can restrain their arrogance and indulgence. They try their best to make the world poor and empty the people's households. My ignorant idea is that they should all be dismissed, Restore the previous system. And select clean and simple people in the country to fill their vacancies. This is the blessing of the whole people, so that they will all be educated by sages." Liu Zhi ignored it.Later, when Zhu Mu had an appointment, he made a statement in person: "I have heard that in the old rules of the Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty), there was only one court attendant, and one eunuch served in the bedroom, who was responsible for conveying the imperial court secretariat's report to the emperor. Separately appoint a Forbidden Palace Adviser (Huangmen Shilang) to receive and pass on government official memorials and emperor's instructions; eunuchs are not used, but people from noble families are used. As the heroine, she presided over the central government instead of the emperor, and never had contact with the three princes and ministerial officials, so she had to use eunuchs as servants (regular servants) in the bedroom, and then used the personal servants of the forbidden palace (little yellow gate) to run around the emperor's palace and the empress dowager. Between the harem. From then on, the eunuchs’ power overwhelmed the lord, and squeezed the world until the people were exhausted. They should be dismissed and dismissed, and the older scholars of the Confucian school should be widely selected to assist the king.” Liu Zhi's face changed drastically, he closed his mouth tightly, and didn't say a word.Zhu Mu prostrated himself on the ground, refusing to get up, hoping that Liu Zhi would change his mind.The people around Liu Zhi yelled: "Get out!" Zhu Mu still insisted, but finally he was kicked out in embarrassment. From then on, the group of eunuchs retaliated wantonly, constantly taking the opportunity to convey Liu Zhi's order, claiming that it was the emperor's intention, and scolding Zhu Mu bitterly.Zhu Mu had always been strong and upright, he couldn't stand this kind of insult, he was extremely angry, and soon he developed a malignant sore and died. 1. In spring, on the day of Bingxu in February (February Renyinshuo, there is no Bingxu), Huang Qiong, the former supreme supervisor (Sikong) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang), and Huang Qiong (邟, sound kang), passed away.At the time of the burial, there were six to seven thousand celebrities from all over the country who came to pay their respects. At first, Huang Qiong set up a private school at home to recruit students, and Xu Rong learned from him.Later, Huang Qiong's status became more and more noble, and Xu Rang stopped communicating with him.When Huang Qiong passed away, Xu Wei mourned the funeral, poured wine on the ground (indicating sacrifice), and wept aloud before leaving. No one knew who he was.The well-known people present asked the host of the funeral, and the host of the funeral said: "There is a scholar. His clothes are rough and thin, but he cries so sadly that I can't remember his name." Everyone speculated: "It must be Xu Rang!" So Mao Rong, a native of Chenliu (Chenliu Town, southeast of Kaifeng City, Henan Province), who can speak well, was sent to chase after him on a lightly equipped horse.Mao Rong hosted a banquet and invited Xu Wei, so when he talked about state affairs, Xu Wei did not answer.When it came to farmland and crops, Xu Rang expressed his opinion.Mao Rong came back and reported to everyone.Someone said: "'You can talk to him, but if you don't want to talk about it, you have missed a talent.' (Kongqiu language) I'm afraid Xu Rong has missed a talent." Guo Tai, a native of Taiyuan (Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province), said: "Not necessarily, Xu Rang is a man of integrity and integrity. No one can ask him to eat when he is hungry, and no one can teach him to put on clothes when he is cold. But he went to Mao Rong's invitation banquet, saying that he had affirmed Mao Rong's virtuousness, so he would not When it comes to state affairs, we can catch up with his wisdom, but we cannot catch up with his ignorance." Guo Tai is knowledgeable and likes to express his opinions.At first, when he went to study in Luoyang, the capital, no one knew about him. Chen Liuren Fu Rong met him once, and he was full of praise. He recommended him to Li Ying, the mayor of Luoyang (Henan Yin). I have met too many well-known people, but I have never met someone like Guo Tai. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and elegant. In today's country, there is no second one." The two became friends, and Guo Tai His name immediately shocked the capital.Later, Guo Tai left and returned to his hometown (Taiyuan County). Officials and gentlemen, as well as experts and scholars of the Confucian school, were sent to the ferry of the Yellow River. Thousands of vehicles gathered.But only Li Ying and Guo Tai crossed the river in the same boat, seeing them off, they thought they were a pair of immortals. Guo Tai can make correct judgments about people, travels around the counties and feudal states, and likes to encourage intellectuals to make progress.Mao Rongnian is over forty years old and is still farming at home.Once, I was sheltering from the rain under a big tree with a group of farmers, and everyone squatted together in a mess, only Mao Rong sat beside me.When Guo Tai passed by there, he was very surprised, so he went up to strike up a conversation and asked to stay at his house for one night.The next day, Mao Rong killed a chicken and cooked rice. Guo Tai thought it must be entertaining himself.想不到茅容一半侍奉娘亲、一半储藏起来。而自己跟客人饭桌上,不过一些穷苦人家吃的蔬菜。郭泰说:“你的贤德,超过常人。我宁可减少对爹娘的供养,用来款待客人;你却如此,是我的朋友。”站起来向他作揖致敬,劝他读书学习。茅容果然获得盛大成就。 钜鹿(河北省宁晋县西南)人孟敏,在太原做客,手中的瓦罐掉到地上,连一眼都没有多看,仰头而去。郭泰跟他见面时,问他为什么这样,孟敏说:“瓦罐已经跌得粉碎,再看它有什么用!”郭泰认为他有决断力,跟他作一席谈话,发现他的性格品德,于是劝他读书求学,孟敏遂闻名当世。 陈留人申屠蟠,家境贫困,当一名油漆工人。鄢陵(河南省鄢陵县)人庾乘,少年时在县政府当看守门户的警卫。郭泰认为二人与众不同,广为推荐,二人都成为知名之士。 其他,有的是杀猪出身,有的是卖酒出身,有的是当兵当仆人出身。因受到郭泰的鼓励,成名的非常之多。 陈国(首府陈县)有个孩子魏昭,请求郭泰说:“传授知识的教师容易找,而要找一位传授做人道理的教师,难上加难。我愿侍奉你左右,做你的仆役。”郭泰应许。不久,郭泰患病,教魏昭给他煮粥。粥煮成后,魏昭端到桌上,郭泰吆喝他说:“你给长辈煮稀饭,一点都不在意!看你煮成了什么东西,怎么能吃?”连碗带粥,都扔到地上。魏昭就再煮一锅,重端到桌上,郭泰又找碴挑剔,大发雷霆。这样苛求,一连三次,魏昭都欣然接受,脸色仍保持温和。郭泰才说:“我过去只看到你的表面。今后,我看到你的内心。”把魏昭当做朋友,善心相待。 陈留人左原,是郡政府学校的学生,因违反校规,被开除学籍。郭泰在路上碰见他,特地为他摆设酒筵,对他安慰鼓励,说:“从前,颜涿聚本是梁父山(山东省泰安市南)的大盗(《吕氏春秋》:颜涿聚后来当孔丘的学生,之后当齐国国务官,在跟晋国的一场战争中殉国)。段干木本是晋国的市侩(参考前四〇三年),然而,一位终于成了齐国的忠臣,一位终于成了魏国的贤才。蘧瑗、颜回,都不能没有过失(蘧,音qu。瑗,音yuan),何况别人?千万不要心怀怨恨,只要检讨改正就够了。”左原紧记他的赠言。于是有人讥讽郭泰不能跟恶人划清界限,郭泰说:“一个犯了错误的人,如果厌他不留余地,可能制造出灾乱。”左原回去后,忽然越想越气,怒不可遏,结交党羽,要向同学们报复。可是,那一天,郭泰正在学校,左原羞于毁弃以前的承诺,遂没有发动。然而事情不久泄露,大家对郭泰一致佩服。 偶然有人问范滂说:“郭泰是个什么样的人?”范滂说:“退隐民间,而不使爹娘受到穷困;操守严正,但不故意表示跟世俗不一样。天子不能教他当部下,亲王、侯爷不能使他成为朋友。除了这些,我不知道还有别的。” 郭泰曾经被地方政府向中央推荐为“有道”人才,郭泰不肯接受(推荐“有道”诏令,参考一二一年)。同郡(太原郡)人宋冲,一向佩服郭泰的道德学问,认为自从西汉王朝建立以来,没有人能超过他,曾经劝他出来当官。郭泰说:“我夜间观看天象,白天考查人事。上天决心要摧毁的,谁都无力拒抗,我只有过一天算一天。”但他仍然常到京师,不停地诱导人们读书求学。徐穉写信警告他:“巨木就要倒下来,不是一根绳子就可以把它拴住,为什么每天奔忙辛苦,不能安定下来!”郭泰感谢说:“听到你的话,把你当做教师。”(东汉王朝的混乱及亡在眉睫,冷静的知识分子,已看得清清楚楚。) 2、济阴郡(山东省定陶县)人黄允,以聪明才干,知名当世。郭泰跟他见面时,叮咛他说:“你才华高绝,超过常人,定可有伟大成就。四十岁之后,声名当满全国。然而,正因为如此,更应该特别要求自己,不然,全盘都会输掉。”后来,宰相(司徒)袁隗给侄女物色丈夫,看见黄允,赞叹说:“能得到像黄允这样的女婿,心愿已足。”黄允听到消息,怦然心动,决定抓住这个机会;于是,坚决跟妻夏侯离婚。夏侯哀求邀请宗族亲戚,作一次集会,容她向大家辞别。而就在宗亲大会上,夏侯揭发黄允不可告人的十五件邪恶隐私,才登车而去。黄允从此被人不齿。 当初,黄允跟汉中(陕西省汉中市)人晋文经同时以才智自傲,声名远播,政府推荐他当官,都不接受,却假装害病,到京师疗养,拒绝任何访客。三公、部长级官员以及国务官(大夫),都派他们的学生,早晚前来探问病情;低级官员(郎吏)在门房挤成一团,而仍不能见面。三公对于推荐到中央的人才,都请晋文经重作评估。把晋文经的评估,作为任用或罢黜的根据。符融告诉李膺说:“黄、晋二位,并没有特殊的建树,却以豪杰自居,以致国家的高级官员都去探病,普通官员都去坐在门房等候召见。我深怕他们这种小家碧玉的做法,破坏大义。虚假的声誉不能跟实际相符时,应该特别留意。”李膺认为他的观察合理。经过这项质疑后,黄允、晋文经二人的声望,跟着衰落,宾客门徒,稍稍减少。黄允、晋文经勉强支持了半月左右,惭愧逃走。后来,二人都被控有罪,受到社会摒弃。 陈留人仇香,沉默寡言,乡里之间,没有人知道他。四十岁时,当蒲亭(河南省民权县境)驿马站长(亭长)。民间有陈元这个人,跟娘亲同住,而娘亲向仇香控告陈元忤逆不孝,仇香吃惊说:“我最近曾到过你家,房屋院落,都清洁整齐,而且陈元辛勤下田耕种,说明他不是一个坏人,只不过没有受过教育,不知道如何做罢了。你年轻时丧夫守寡,抚养孤儿,一生辛苦,而今年纪已老,只为了一时恼怒,抛弃多少年的爱心!养育丈夫遗留下的孤儿,有始无终,死者地下有知,等到有一天你大限来到,到地下怎么跟亡夫相见?”陈元的娘亲泪流满面,起身告辞。仇香遂亲自到陈元家,教导陈元伦理孝道,再用祸福的后果,作为警惕。陈元恍然大悟,终于成为孝子。 考城(河南省民权县东)县长河内(河南省武陟县)人王奂,任命仇香当秘书官(主簿),问他说:“听说你在蒲亭,对于陈元,没有处罚他就把他改变,是不是缺少苍鹰搏击的勇气?”仇香说:“我认为苍鹰搏击,不如鸾凤和鸣,所以不肯搏击。”王奂说:“荆棘的丛林,不是鸾凤栖身之所。一个县的行政区域,不是大贤的道路。”于是,给仇香一个月的俸禄,让他到首都洛阳,进人国立大学(太学)。 郭泰、符融拿着名片求见仇香,遂留宿作彻夜长谈。第二天早上,郭泰起来,在榻前向仇香下拜说:“你是我的老师,不是我的朋友。”仇香学成回乡,即令在闲暇无事之时,也一定衣服整齐,妻子儿女对他,好像对严正的君王。妻子儿女们有了过失,他就脱下冠帽,自己责备,等到妻子儿女到院子里承认错误,表示悔悟,仇香戴上冠帽,妻子儿女才敢直进屋门。平常,从来看不见仇香喜怒的表情,不接受任何推荐,在家逝世。 3、三月癸亥日(三月壬申朔,没有癸亥),陨石落到鄠县(陕西省户县)。 4、夏季,五月十九日,京师降下冰雹。 5、荆州(湖南省及湖北省)州长度尚,招募蛮夷战士,讨伐艾县(江西省修水县)变民集团,大获全胜,变民投降的有数万人。 桂阳郡(湖南省郴州市)历时已久的变民首领卜阳、潘鸿等,逃人深山,度尚穷追不舍,深入数百里,一连击破三座堡垒,抢夺到不少金银财宝。然而,卜阳、潘鸿的战斗主力,并没有受到伤害,声势仍大。度尚准备继续攻击,可是他的部队既骄傲而又富有(每人都在劫掠),不再有斗志。 度尚了解,如果不继续挺进,就不能发动攻击。可是,如果继续挺进,必然发生逃亡。于是宣称:“卜阳、潘鸿,当强盗已当了十年,精于攻守。政府军寡不敌众,不可以轻率前进,必须等到各郡援军赶到,才能发动。”下令军中,允许将士们自由打猎。令下后,一片欢腾,上自将领,下到小兵,几乎全体都出营取乐。 度尚秘密派出心腹亲信,到大营纵火,把篷帐焚烧成一片灰烬,抢劫人民的金银财宝,也全被烧毁。出去打猎的将士们兴高采烈的回来,目睹残局,无不流泪号泣。度尚向他们安慰,深自责备对火灾疏于防范,然后激励他们,说:“卜阳等的金银财宝,可以使我们几辈子都用不完,问题只在你们肯不肯出力?烧掉的那点东西,又算个屁!”大家踊跃请求出击。 度尚下令:喂饱战马,早上不再集合,就在床前进食,向变民集团发动拂晓攻击。卜阳、潘鸿等自以为山寨坚固,没有戒备。政府军乘着锐气,遂攻陷城堡。度尚出征三年,到此,所有变民集团,才全部消灭。 东汉政府封度尚当右乡侯。 6、冬季,十月五日,东汉帝(十一任桓帝)刘志(本年三十三岁)从首都洛阳向南视察。 十月二十三日,抵达章陵(湖北省枣阳市南。东汉一任帝刘秀的老爹、祖父等坟墓所在地)。 十一月一日,刘志前往云梦(湖北省安陆市南),抵达汉水之滨。在回程中,前往新野(河南省新野县)。当时,随驾的高级官员及皇亲国戚的车辆、马匹,有一万有余,沿途向地方政府征求各种费用,用尽所有借口。护驾参谋官(护驾从事)桂阳人胡腾,上书说:“君王的立场,没有内外之分。君王所在之地,就是京师。我请求把荆州州长,当做京畿总卫戍司令(司隶校尉),把我视同军法处长(都官从事)。”刘志批准。胡腾执法严格,纪律肃然,随从不敢再勒索郡县政府(普通州长,只可以纠察郡县官员,不能纠察中央官员。比照京畿总卫戍司令,就可纠察中央官员)。 刘志抵达南阳(河南省南阳市),左右宦官亲信,都牟取暴利,刘志听从他们的意见,任命很多人当宫廷禁卫官(郎)。全国武装部队总司令杨秉上书说:“太微星座,象征宫廷禁卫官的位置(参考《史记·天官书》,事关天文,不能了解)。在首都时,侍奉皇家;离开首都,便是县长。请陛下放弃不忍拒绝的恩德,断绝奸邪违法乱纪的道路。”刘志这才不再颁发诏书。 7、西羌保安司令(护羌校尉)段颎,击破当煎部落(渭水上游一带)。 8、十二月四日,刘志返回首都洛阳,回宫。 9、寝殿侍奉宦官汝阳侯唐衡、武原侯徐璜逝世。 10、最初,宫廷随从寇荣是寇恂的曾孙(寇恂事,参考三二年)。寇荣性情冷淡,很少跟人交往,也因此受到权贵们的厌恶。寇荣堂兄的儿子,娶皇帝刘志的妹妹益阳长公主,而刘志又收寇荣的侄孙女当小老婆。刘志左右宦官亲信,对寇荣更加忌恨,在共同陷害下,刘志下诏把寇荣逐回故乡(上谷郡·河北省怀来县),地方政府官员观望中央亲贵们的颜色风向,对他施加迫害。 寇荣恐怕死于地方官员的毒手,打算前往首都洛阳,亲自辩解。走到中途,幽州(河北省北部及辽宁省)州长张敬,派人急追,同时先行弹劾寇荣擅自离开居所。中央政府下令通缉,寇荣遂开始逃亡,一连逃亡数年,每次中央作全国性的赦免时,寇荣都不在赦免之列。寇荣走投无路,穷困绝望,在逃亡中,上书皇帝刘志,说: “陛下统御天下万物,当人民的父母,男女自生长牙齿之年算起,都受到恩德。我们兄弟,并没有违法犯罪,却被当权派高官,百般倾陷;青蝇之辈,共同谋害。(《诗经·青蝇》:嗡嗡叫的青蝇/停在篱端/正直的绅士/不信谗言。”“嗡嗡叫的青蝇/停在荆棘上面/挑拨的话无所不用其极/把贞忠逼成叛乱。”“嗡嗡叫的青蝇/停在树间/小报告永没个完/使我们翻脸。”)促使陛下忽略了娘亲的仁慈,却跟曾参的老母一样,愤怒的投出布梭(曾参娘亲误信曾参杀人的事,参考前三〇八年)。残酷的执法官员,竭力张开网罗,挖掘陷阱,争先恐后,俨然面对仇敌。而且,刑罚加到死人的尸体上,连墓园树木,都被铲平。为了表示'严''明',国法竟这样泛滥成灾(可看出寇荣家祖先墓地所遭受的破坏)。 “因为这个缘故,我才不敢冒犯天威,而独自逃入山林,一心一意等待陛下心回意转,圣耳垂听,神目明察,拯救可以拯救的人,捞出将要淹死的命。万万想不到,愤怒并不因为春夏二季的降临而消失,恚恨也不因为时间久远而冲淡。于是派出使臣,奔驰驿马车站之间,贴出布告,传播远近;命令严厉,读后犹如身上堆满冰霜。追逐我的人走遍天下道路,缉拿我的官布满有车迹的地方。纵然是当初楚王国之悬赏捉拿伍子胥,西汉王朝之悬赏捉拿季布,都不能比对我更加严厉。(伍子胥事,前六世纪七〇年代,楚王国芈弃疾把太子芈建的未婚妻夺为己有,要杀太子灭口,伍子胥保护芈建逃亡;楚王国悬赏粟米五万石和“执珪”的爵位。季布事,参考前二〇二年。) “我自从受到国法的惩处以来,政府曾对全国罪犯,颁布过三次赦免令,又颁布过两次可以用金钱粟米赎罪的诏书。身犯没有证据的罪状,应有足够的理由获得消除。可是,陛下恨我越深,有关单位对付我越卖力。停下来我会被立刻扫灭,逃下去则只好成为天涯亡命。生为穷途之人,死为含冤之鬼,苍天辽阔,独对我不肯掩盖;大地厚重,只有我不能立足。在地上行走,担心地可能崩裂;远离高墙,恐惧高墙倒塌到我身上。我如果犯的是十恶不赦的大罪,本应该身受死刑,横尸荒野,那么,陛下应该公开宣示我到底受了什么样的指控和犯了什么样的罪,使天下人的怀疑,得到答案。 “我也曾想前往首都洛阳,向陛下自首。可是,一旦如此,坐在'肺石'之上(上古时代,宫廷大门之外,有一块巨石,称“肺石”;受委屈的一方要想申冤而走投无路时,就站在肺石上三天,司法官然后记录下他的控告,呈报上级。此处引用,表示被羁押监狱),听候三公、部长级官员,以及'公''侯''伯''子''男'爵爷等审判。那时候,一言一词,都是陷阱,一举一动,都是设计的圈套。而皇宫门闭九重,我的陈诉,永远无法呈递到陛下面前,更永远无法获得陛下相信。 “可悲的是,我活下去有什么意义?忠臣为了化解君王的愤怒,不惜杀身;孝子为了平息爹娘的怨恨,不惜殒命。所以,姚重华(舜)不逃避修理仓房跟下井挖土的灾难,姬申生也不逃避骊姬的陷害(姚重华在仓房正翻盖茅草的时候,老爹、继母跟继母生的弟弟姚象,却把梯子搬去,然后纵火焚屋。姚重华用斗笠当翅膀,跳下来逃生。老爹教姚重华挖浚旧井,可是他下井之后,父母老弟,立刻动手填井,姚重华却从早已悄悄挖好了的地道中,再度逃生。这是儒家学派大力制造的姚重华的“孝”的神话。姬申生是春秋时代晋国太子,老爹姬诡诸的继妻骊姬,要杀姬申生而立她的儿子姬奚齐当太子。于是,有一天,姬申生在一次盛大祭祀后,把祭肉呈献给老爹姬诡诸,骊姬把毒药放上去,坚持是姬申生下的毒手;有人劝姬申生调查追究,姬申生说:“我如果这样做,骊姬必然获罪。”遂自缢身死)。我怎能忘记这些事迹,不自杀以化解陛下神圣贤明的气愤! “我愿意用我一人来塞责指控,请求陛下饶恕我兄弟一命,使我一家还能剩下残类,用以显示陛下宽厚的恩德。临死哀诉,面对奏章,泪尽泣血。” 刘志看到后,如火上加油,下令诛杀寇荣。寇家自东汉王朝建立以来的荣华富贵,从此衰落。 1、春季,正月,东汉王朝(首都洛阳)皇帝(十一任桓帝)刘志(本年三十四岁)派寝殿侍奉宦官(中常侍)左悺,前往苦县(河南省鹿邑县)祭祀李耳(李耳,楚王国苦县厉乡曲仁里人,又名李聃,绰号老子)。 2、勃海王(首府南皮)刘悝(皇帝刘志的亲弟),行为一向荒唐、邪恶、骄傲,而不断破坏法令。北军(野战军)参谋长(中候)陈留(河南省开封市东南陈留镇)人史弼,上“亲启密奏”(封事)说: “我曾经听说,君王对于亲属,虽
