Chapter 28 Four, poisonous insect five princes

Now, the eunuch Wuhou has become the representative of the evil faction in the political arena of the Han Dynasty, and even the common enemy of the scholar-bureaucrats.The cases of Chen Fan and Yang Bing defending Li Yun have fully proved that unity is not necessarily strength in dealing with these evil factions, but unity brings them hope.Years of political struggles have proved that only unity can allow them to find the way to victory. Back then, Yuan An, Yang Zhen, Li Gu and other seniors had extremely strong skills, but they all fell mercilessly.Why is this?The main reason is that the civil servants of the Han Dynasty relied on him. Once they saw that the boss couldn't hold on anymore, someone would immediately act as a chameleon, but no one had ever thought of unanimously speaking to the outside world at critical moments of life and death.

Now, the eunuchs and five princes have reached their peak. If the scholar-bureaucrats do not unite again, there will only be endless nights waiting for them. I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell; the rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility.This is the strongest cry in the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty. Let's go to the play. Shan Chao, the eldest of the Five Marquises, had a son named Shan Kuang, who was the head of Jiyin County at that time.This guy relied on his uncle's power to make a lot of money. The governor of Yanzhou, the fifth kind, saw it in his eyes and took it to heart, and sent Wei Yu to investigate and collect evidence.The matter went very smoothly, and it was found that Shan Kuang had embezzled 50 to 60 million yuan in the first investigation.Therefore, the governor Mr. Wu prepared to report on the impeachment of Shan Kuang.

Shan Kuang panicked. He knew very well that the fifth kind of blow was not just him.If his card falls, it may cause a domino effect, implicating Uncle Shanchao and others.But the evidence is already in their hands, how can we escape this crisis? At this time, Shan Kuang thought of the most primitive and simplest method.This method was also often used by Liang Ji back then, that is-assassination. Shan Kuang bought a killer with a lot of money. The killer was so famous that he was named Ren Fang in history.Ren Fang went to assassinate Wei Yu who was investigating Shan Kuang. Unfortunately, he was discovered, captured, and imprisoned in Luoyang.

Shan Kuang was completely dumbfounded. I walked a lot at night and encountered ghosts, so I came to whatever I was worried about.It's a small matter that the killer is put in prison, but the problem is that the prison in Luoyang is a big deal. Because the land in Luoyang is Yang Bing's world.If Yang Bing knew this information, he would definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of the current situation and fish out the big fish of their single family. I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious. The dog jumped the wall in a hurry, at this moment, Shan Kuang's head flashed, and a solution came out.

The method is simple, but the result is not bad.If it succeeds, it can achieve the magical effect of killing two birds with one stone. One bird will get rid of the fifth type, and the other will shoot down Yang Bing. Shan Kuang's solution is to help Ren Fang escape from prison.Only succeed, not fail.So, on a dark and stormy night, Ren Fang escaped from the prison unknowingly.After dawn, Shangshu summoned Yang Bing to question how such an important prisoner as Ren Fang escaped. The civil servants of the Han Dynasty suffered from earthquakes, droughts, floods, and locusts, and high-ranking officials all took the blame and resigned.Yang Bing, as the chief executive of Luoyang City, was asked by the higher authorities that the prisoner had escaped, and it was clear that he was to be let go.

Yang Bing was not ambiguous at all. He replied: "It's very simple to catch Ren Fang. You just need to arrest Shan Kuang, interrogate him in the first instance, interrogate him and torture him in the third instance. Then you will definitely know the truth. Because the two of them belonged together. .” Yang Bingzhong made a plan. If you have no evidence, this trick is tantamount to false accusation.If the prisoner escapes and falsely accuses him, he will have no choice but to leave.What's more, there is a Shan Chao on top of Shan Kuang covering him. Sure enough, Yang Bing was sent away soon.This time was different from the last time, he didn't just leave, but was sentenced to hard labor and went to the left school to reform through labor.Then, Shan Chao played the fifth impeachment of the governor of Yanzhou and exiled him.

It really kills two birds with one stone. But don't laugh too early, this is just an opening scene.In 160 A.D., the first month, the ministers of the Han Dynasty heard a message-Xinfeng Hou Shanchao died. Many people burst into tears when they heard the news.How to say, this is also a kind of victory.I can't fight you to death, at least I can boil you to death.Of the five princes, there are only four princes left.These four poisonous insects didn't know that their death was imminent, so they became more and more arrogant, making trouble everywhere.So the folk nursery rhyme sang: "Zuo Huitian, sitting alone, Xu crouching tiger, Tang Yuqiu."

Zuo Huitian refers to Zuo Jin having the power to return to heaven.Heaven, of course, refers to the emperor, which means that he has a way to reverse the emperor's decision; Ju Duzuo, refers to Ju Yuan sitting there, only me, arrogant and arrogant; Xu Crouching Tiger, refers to Xu Huang acting like a crouching tiger, cruel Vicious; Tang Yuluo means that Tang Heng's power spreads all over the world, penetrating into every hole, like a torrential rain. Nursery rhymes are like flying knives, and knives make people grow old.At this time, Yang Bing could no longer listen. Yang Bing came out of the arena again, it was God who saved him.

Not long after he went to labor reform, there was a severe drought in the world, and he was released from prison when he was amnesty.Then, another solar eclipse appeared in the sky, and someone took the opportunity to write a letter, telling Liu Zhi not to suppress Yang Bing for too long, but to let him come out to work immediately. The person who took the initiative to speak for Yang Bing was Taishan Taishou Huangfugui. Huangfugui, courtesy name Weiming, was born in Anding Chaona (now Lingtai, Gansu Province).In the Han Dynasty, there were famous generals in the northwest and Wenxiang in the southeast.Born and raised in this desolate and vast land in the northwest, he is proficient in the art of war, skilled in martial arts, and born a good general.

Numerous cases prove that men are not only grown, but also trained.During the Liangji era, Huangfugui was not afraid of power, and repeatedly wrote letters to expose Liangji's old background, and was suppressed to death.After Liang Ji's death, the central government invited him to come back, but he declined many times, and finally reluctantly bid farewell to his secluded life and came out to become an official. After Huangfu's memorial to the Central Committee, Liu Zhi approved it and agreed to Yang Bing's comeback.The relevant department sent someone to inform Yang Bing that you can go back to work.I didn't say where to go to work, I just sent a bus, and just got on the bus.

But Yang Bing didn't get in the car, but lay on the bed and pretended to be sick. He told the visitor, "I'm sorry, I can't get out of bed anymore, how can I be an official." This old fritter in the officialdom can really pretend.The relevant departments were so angry that they could not speak for a long time, and left in a huff. Give you a face, but you stick your butt on it, then fine, I will give you a fine drink.After these people went back, they impeached Yang Bing, saying that he had committed disrespect and should be punished. After the memorial was typed up, it was rejected by the Shangshu Office.They believed that Yang Bing pretended not to be ill, but in fact he was modest and made concessions.Why don't you recruit him again, and if you don't come again, it won't be too late to ask him about his crimes.The relevant departments had no choice but to recruit again. This time Yang Bing learned well and moved quickly. He jumped out of bed, straightened his clothes, and went out energetically.He's back to his old job -- too often. Three years later, that is, in 163, he was moved to Taiwei and was at the head of the three princes.It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Yang Bing made another move. Soon, Yang Bing and Sikong Zhoujing, one of the three lords, jointly wrote a letter.The memorial is written like this: In the central and local areas of the Han Dynasty, many people were not qualified for official positions.According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the children of eunuchs were not allowed to be officials, let alone occupy high positions.Now everything is reversed, the eunuch's children are like flies flying all over the sky, and their ghost shadows are everywhere.Therefore, we suggest that all departments check out their subordinates, and report all unqualified officials to the three governments to remove them from the government. After the report was typed up, Liu Zhi, who was half blind in one eye, suddenly had both political eyes brightened, and he approved Yang Bing's plan. In fact, Liu Zhi has to thank one person for his political awareness today.This person is Yuan Yan, a servant, who is hardworking and studious, and is very appreciated by Yang Zhen.He was able to climb to the position of servant, and it was Yang Zhen who promoted him. Once, when Liu Zhi had nothing to do, he asked Yuan Yan, "What kind of emperor do you think I am?" Yuan Yan was not good at words, when he could not speak, he would never speak.But when Liu Zhi took the initiative to ask this kind of question, he had to guide him.He said: "Your Majesty, in terms of rank, you are only a middle-level emperor." Liu Zhi went on to say, "Why is it only medium?" Yuan Yan said: "Your Majesty not only uses civil servants Chen Fan and others, but also allows Zhongchang Shi and Huangmen to intervene in politics. That is to say, you are a person who can assist you to do good, and can also help you to be a tyrant. So, You're only average." Liu Zhi sighed and said, "I know what to do." It was Yuan Yan's accurate and timely words that made Liu Zhi suddenly aroused the desire to work hard, and agreed with Yang Bing's report to eliminate the eunuch's children. With Liu Zhi's support, Yang Bing worked very hard. He launched a massive purge campaign, and more than 50 people from the governor to the county chief were purged.Some were pulled out and hacked, and some were told to pack up and leave. After waiting for so many years, this day finally came.It was a cool autumn, and the autumn of power in the Han Dynasty turned out to be so cool, so cool that Yang Bing's heart melted.
