Chapter 18 2. Ferocious animals

The prince's defense battle ended in halftime due to previous failures.To sum up this palace battle, the gentleman lost to the villain, and the weak group lost to the ferocious animals. Fan Feng, Geng Bao, Jiang Jing, Yan Xian, etc., looking at these villains, what sign should we put on them?I think, is there a more appropriate idiom besides being cowardly? We know the nature of the wolf, which is synonymous with greed and cruelty.This kind of animal is a bit special.It has a big brain and is smarter than a wolf, but it doesn't run as fast as a wolf, and its predation ability is poor.The reason is that its front legs are short and its hind legs are long, so it can't run.

The Creator is really weird, he divided a feature that can be perfectly integrated into one animal into two halves, and gave it to two animals.Therefore, for the sake of survival, Wolverine became brothers. The wolf said to the embarrassment, you give me advice, if you catch the prey, we will share it together.Embarrassed said, it's worth it.Therefore, Hao became the military advisor on the back of the wolf. If the wolf has a problem that cannot be solved, it will come out with it on its back to give advice. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell which ones are wolves and which ones are embarrassing among the group of people around Liu Hu, a carpe diemist.

The biggest wolf is probably Yan Xian. Don't look at him as a man who doesn't look like a mountain, but in fact, a truly ferocious animal doesn't need an arrogant appearance.The biggest embarrassment may be Fan Feng.From beginning to end, he was busy coming up with ideas and plotting. Fan Feng might be thinking that Yan Xian cannot do without me, just like a wolf cannot do without embarrassment. The reasoning is correct, but Yan Xian doesn't think so. He thinks that a wolf cannot be separated from the embarrassment, but it may not be inseparable from the embarrassment of you, Fan Feng.

Did you see that, the wolf nature is revealed, and the good show is about to begin. AD 125, February 17th. Liu Hu couldn't stay any longer, and said that this time he would play in a different place, instead of going to the east, he would go to the south.So on this day, Liu Hu set off for the south in the name of investigation. March 1st.No, there is a solar eclipse in the sky. Solar eclipse is something we think is very common, the ancients thought it was very unusual, and I guess Liu Hu thought it was even more unusual.Two days later, he suddenly felt unwell. It would be a tragedy not to pick a good time to go out.

On March 8th, a group of people went to Wan County and saw that Liu Hu's condition was not right, so instead of going south, they returned directly north from Wan County.Two days later, when he arrived in Yexian County (now the old county township in the southwest of Yexian County, Henan Province), Liu Hu couldn't walk anymore. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that he was already dead, in the sedan chair. It was the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty that the emperor died on the way out.In the history of Qin and Han Dynasties, it is the second time.The first time was Qin Shihuang, and the second time, Liu Hu actually climbed up.After struggling for a lifetime, leaving nothing behind, but inadvertently winning second place, to him, it doesn't seem too bad a loss.

We know that the Qin Dynasty was bad because Qin Shihuang died too suddenly and at the wrong time.But to Liu Hu, it didn't matter where he died.He never came to this world with a dream, but on a dark and stormy night, a man slipped into the arms of a woman, and he has been there ever since. The man who brought him life did not have the power to protect him, but was tortured badly.For the first half of his life, he was tortured by others, and for the rest of his life, he tortured others in turn. As Lu Xun said, life is about watching and being watched, laugh at others today, be laughed at by others tomorrow, that's all.

Now, Liu Hu couldn't laugh anymore.The ones who should laugh are Fan Feng, Geng Bao, and Yan Xian. As important people around the emperor, they accompanied the emperor out to play. If the news spread to Luoyang City, they would definitely be drowned by the saliva of the scholar-bureaucrats.Therefore, their first reaction is fear. However, after the fear, there is an inexplicable excitement. Zhao Gao had already experienced this kind of excitement three hundred years ago.If I had to add a word to this feeling, it would be - stimulation.What is exciting is that the old ones will not go away and the new ones will not come. His time has finally come.What's exciting is that from beginning to end, everything is under their control and moving towards their train of thought.

Liu Hu has already won the second place, and Fan Feng, the biggest embarrassment, also wants to take the second place and become a Zhao Gao-style character.It's okay for Fan Feng to want to be Zhao Gao, but no one wants to be Li Si anymore.The group of people around Liu Hu are all in the same group.People who are not with them are all in Luoyang City. Therefore, Fan Feng gathered them together for a secret discussion, and finally agreed that if the news of the emperor's death was announced publicly, it would definitely bring them great disaster.In order to stabilize the troublesome scholar-bureaucrats in Luoyang City, they will not do anything, and will continue to do so. In the way Zhao Gao treated Qin Shihuang, he pretended that Liu Hu was still alive, and returned to the city.

That year, when Qin Shihuang died, it happened to be autumn and July.It is said that it is autumn, but it is actually no different from the weather in summer, it is very hot.In order to deceive others, Zhao Gao, an expert, was afraid that the smell of Qin Shihuang's dead body would alarm others, so he took a cart of abalone along with him. Some people may think that Fan Feng must have used Zhao Gao's move.But Fan Feng was useless, not because he didn't want to use it, but because he couldn't use it at all. As I said before, Liu Hu died in March, and the weather in the north was not very hot, and they were not far from Luoyang City.

For this short distance, they traveled as fast as they could, and it only took them four days.During these four days, people were sent to deliver food to the sedan chair on time every day. The power of conspiracy is terrifying.On March 13, Liu Hu's body was sent back to the palace. The next day, the ruthless move came out. On March 14th, Empress Yan sent Situ to the royal temple to burn incense and worship. That night, the news of Liu Hu's death was announced in the palace.At the same time, it was announced that Empress Yan will be in charge of the government, her elder brother Yan Xian will be the chariot general, and the third division of Yitong.

The meaning of Yitong Sansi refers to official power and office organization, compared with Sangong.To put it bluntly, what he did was not the work of the Sangong, but what he enjoyed was the power and treatment of the Sangong of the Han Dynasty. Also, they have already identified a candidate for the emperor.This person is Liu Yi, the son of Liu Shou, King of Jibei.The sharp-eyed ones may have noticed that this was not one of the two candidates that the Empress Dowager Deng had reserved to replace Liu Hu? Indeed, it was him.The most popular candidate at that time was not this guy, but another guy named Liu Yi.After Liu Hu ascended the throne, he expelled Pingyuan King Liu Yi from Luoyang City and demoted him to be the Marquis of Duxiang.From then on, he stayed behind closed doors and was insulated from the world. At this time, Liu Bao, Liu Hu's son, was eleven years old.Not to mention being an emperor, he didn't even have the chance to cry for his father in the palace.Liu Bao couldn't help himself, crying bitterly every night, he couldn't even eat, and no one in and out of the court could stand it anymore. Liu Bao cried for his father, Liu Hu, and also for himself. Facts have proved that he did not cry in vain, because his bitter cry moved the sky, the earth, and also touched another group of masters lurking in the deep palace. On March 28, Liu Yi ascended the throne smoothly. In the next few days, the three princes of the Han Dynasty also changed the water smoothly. The new one was very obedient, and everyone took their positions, and everything was safe and sound. On the surface, Luoyang City looks very quiet, but in fact it is not quiet at all.An inexplicable commotion was brewing rapidly and was about to break out. As mentioned earlier, the cooperation between Yan Xian and Fan Feng is the relationship between wolf and embarrassment.When there is no meat to eat, or when meat is not available, wolves cannot do without embarrassment.But now, the fattest meat in the world is in the hands of Yan Xian alone, so it seems unreasonable to let him share it with others. It is the nature of a beast to have fat meat and just think about eating it for yourself and kicking others away.So Yan Xian, the beast of power, was thinking, how can I monopolize this big piece of fat that the group of little ones bought with their lives and wisdom? After Yan Xian thought about it, he still couldn't solve a technical bottleneck - strategy. He lacks strategy, just like a pig that wants to gain weight lacks rice bran.He thought about it again and again, and finally realized that it was not enough to rely on his own tricks, and he had to introduce talents.With talent, there will naturally be conspiracy. He immediately summoned a person, this person is the eunuch Jiang Jing. In Yan Xian and Geng Bao's think tank group, Fan Feng is the male number one, and Jiang Jing is the male number two.History is like a big drama, with too many people and too few roles for each of them.Yan Xian wanted to take more roles in the show, stealing Geng Bao and others' scenes, and Jiang Jing also wanted to grab Fan Feng's share. The two agreed to work together to create a unique black drama in the history of the Han Dynasty. The black-eating gangsters are on fire and making a big show. Their goals are threefold: First, the uncle of the country, Geng Bao.Liu Hu was gone, and he hugged the position of the general without knowing how to praise him, and killed him; followed by the Zhongchang servant Fan Feng, the Zhonglang general Xie Yun, and the servant Zhou Guang. They were all Liu Hu's senior officials. Masters, keep this group of people in the palace, they can't sleep well, kill them; finally Liu Hu's nurse Wang Sheng and her daughter Bo Rong, these women mess around in the harem, kill them. What's the best way to deal with them? The answer is - all at once. In what name should we destroy them? The answer is - to form a party for personal gain, to be treasonous. In summer, on April 11, nothing happened in Luoyang. In fact, Yan Xian, Jiang Jing and the others had already made arrangements and stepped on them.Next, they announced the blacklist, and within a few days, all the above three groups were successfully arrested. Geng Bao committed suicide, Fan Feng, Xie Yun, and Zhou Guang were imprisoned and executed. Liu Hu's nurse Wang Sheng and her daughter Bo Rong were driven out of Luoyang City forever and exiled in Yanmen. As if overnight, Luoyang changed completely.All the old products were taken off the shelves, and the new ones were all Yan's brand products: Yan Jing served as Weiwei, Yan Yao served as the captain of the city gate, and Yan Yan served as Jinwu.
