Chapter 60: On Party Confinement

    "How does Ah Sheng view the disaster of the party?" Xun Chen couldn't help but ask, "A Sheng's position is not the same as ours."

    "If you ask me..." Ah Sheng thought sideways, "If there are eunuchs who have vision and talent, only one out of 100 can come out; Compared with the nazis and the eunuchs, it is naturally better for the common people to have the power of the scholars." At least the noble family still has a face, and most eunuchs don't even have a face when they take it by force.

    Xiao Xunyu is smarter than her brother and eldest nephew. Knowing that Ah Sheng has more to do, she took the initiative to pick up a conjunction for her: "However—"

    "However, in its original essence, it was a war between imperial power against nobles, and central against local."

    "Ah..." Xun Yu stared at Ah Sheng with round eyes. I saw Ah Sheng's eyes wandering, his voice getting lower and lower, those watery almond eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

    "A-sheng!" Xun You's voice pulled her back, "The calamity of the party is serious, Li Ying and Chen Yu are both benevolent and upright elders, but they suffered unwarranted disasters because of this, I don't think there is any What a ridiculous thing."

    A Sheng was taken aback: "No, I thought of something else."

    "Learn more."

     

    Li Ying's disobedience was the fuse of this party-inflicted disaster.

    Speaking of it, it has to be related to the natural disasters of successive years. In order to deal with the disasters, the emperor, in addition to conducting sacrifices, also has a virtue measure called "amnesty for the world". The imperial power arbitrarily overrides the law, and it is nothing to do with it. The Chinese people have been accustomed to it for thousands of years. Amnesty is a good thing and a virtue. But this amnesty was taken advantage of by the eunuchs. They served the emperor personally and were much more informed than others. Naturally, they knew the time of the amnesty in advance, and deliberately allowed their subordinates to obtain a lot of illegal benefits before the amnesty. Wouldn't it be nice to wait until the decree of amnesty arrives and all crimes will be written off?

    Can Li Ying, a noble and arrogant person, bear it?

    Of course I can't bear it. So the newly appointed Henan Yin ignored the amnesty's order and killed all the eunuchs on his own territory that deserved to be killed. This time the emperor quit, the order of amnesty was issued by the emperor, Li Ying's behavior was to resist the decree, and he was despising the emperor's virtuous government. Why did Li Ying dare to despise the emperor? Because he is a son of an aristocratic family and has a very high reputation, there is a large group of in-laws behind him who applaud him. The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he wanted to punish Li Ying, but nine out of ten scholars and officials in the court were all interceding for Li Ying, and the emperor put all those who interceded on the list of those who were not allowed to become officials. "Go away, I won't play with you anymore." Coupled with the eunuchs taking the opportunity to instigate and attack dissidents, the involvement became more and more widespread, and finally led to the disaster of the party.

      ?"

    Xun You hesitated for a moment: "No, amnesty is His Majesty's kindness, but kindness should not be used on eunuchs."

    "Why? Because they have committed many evils? But the other sinners who are forgiven by the amnesty have no evil? All the people forgiven by the amnesty are sinners. If so, why the same crime, not the **** one Party members can be forgiven, but eunuchs can’t be forgiven?”

    Xun You shut up.

    Xun Chen said: "Although the will is to treat everyone equally, there is always a standard for judgment in people's hearts. Some people are evil and cunning, and often use their power to avoid legal punishment. You can't use thunder to eliminate hidden dangers, wait until I don't know how many people will suffer from it."

     "Since A Chen believes that the judgment made by Li Gong with morality is higher than the emperor's will, then as long as we have morality, it is enough, what do we need the emperor to do? What do we need the law for? ?"

    "Uh...Ah, don't..."

    A Sheng said with a cold face: "One by one, they do things according to their own moral values, and they don't obey the command of the central government at all, and no one can bear to be an emperor. Today, a wise man like Li Gong violates the The law can be praised by everyone; how about a foolish person making judgments based on his own morality tomorrow? What about a corrupt official making judgments based on his own morals the day after?"

    Xun Chen opened his mouth: "You..."

    "Li Gong thinks that he is righteous, and maybe he is indeed righteous. However, even if it is just, it cannot be opened because it is destroying the foundation of the dynasty's prestige. Is it better to attack eunuchs with contempt for the law than the eunuchs who defy the law? I am afraid that from now on both the gentry and the eunuchs will do whatever they can to destroy each other, and that will be even more terrifying." , stretched out a second finger: "Question 2: Use violence to control violence, is it?"

    The room was silent and no one spoke.

    Asheng stretched out his third finger: "I still have a third question, the law..."

    "Master, the food has been delivered."

    A Sheng put down her right hand: "Send it in." She smiled: "Oh, let's just talk about it casually, it has no effect on changing reality. Eat, eat is the biggest."

    Xun Chen Xun You then spit out the breath that came to his throat, looked at each other with a wry smile. If they were born two thousand years later, they would know that this is a questioning of the thinking of the rule of law against the thinking of the rule of man. But now, they can only feel that what was originally bright and beautiful has been dismembered and shattered by sharp logic.

    "You are more and more incredible." Xun Chen muttered, "I must tell Sixth Uncle."

    A Sheng hurriedly stepped back half a centimeter: "I have never slandered celebrities. To be able to defy power, even if it crosses the line, from the original point of view, it is still much more valuable than collusion."

     

    Xun Yu is relatively well accepted. While drooling over the tofu on his plate, he also asked Ah Sheng, "But now the government is corrupt, and the eunuchs are doing bad things. Wise people want to fight against them, what should they do?"

    "If I knew, I could be the third public." Ah Sheng perfunctory children, bowed his head to eat. After the disaster, she cherished every grain of food she ate.

      I was young and perfunctory me."

    The solution is of course a new system. The court system, the legal system, the land system, the education system and the official selection system will all have to be overturned. Before that, the innovation of the superstructure required the support of the underlying productivity. Ah Sheng hugged a flower pot and shouted to see off guests: "I don't know anything about the court battles, I only know how to grow flowers and cook."

    Xiao Xunyu suddenly wanted to cry: "Asheng perfunctory me, even a flowerpot is more important than me."

    A Sheng raised his eyes to the sky: "Not only is it more important than A Yu, for me, this flower pot is more important than the entire party's disaster."

    "It looks like a very ordinary bud with two green leaves and no flowers. What is this?"

    "This is called Fanhua." Ah Sheng said vaguely, "I waited for three years to get a root of a flower." In a pitiful space, such a little root, just It can take a few years to develop enough seedlings to be grown on a large scale.

    Next year she will travel south in person to deliver this precious seedling to the South Island. Until the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, she did not intend to let this thing out. Although Ah Sheng only remembered a name for the Yellow Turban Uprising, she knew clearly: sweet potatoes, in principle, could extend the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Once the people are full, they will not rebel, but in turn will allow the rotten system to continue throughout her lifetime.

    Life is limited.

    Asheng not only cannot prolong the life of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also promotes its collapse.

    What should I do?

    Doing bad things or something is obviously not her forte, so she has been thinking about it for more than ten years since she was born and can't make up her mind. At this time, a news that shook the whole country came from Luoyang.

    Emperor Liu Zhi died at the age of thirty-six.

    The posthumous name Huan.

    Although he was hacked by the family again and again in the last year of his reign because of the disaster of launching the party, the officials still gave him a good evaluation when he was about to die.

   

    Although the military expenditure of Emperor Huan was large, with the efforts of generals such as Zhang Huan, Duan Jong, and Huangfugui, he never lost a battle to the outside world; and Emperor Huan was still an emperor who was more able to subdue everyone. , the five princes were finally punished for their corruption and perversion, and their relatives, the Liang family, were finally exterminated. Apart from the aristocratic family that has become the general trend, the system of rule of virtue for thousands of years, and the endless natural disasters that he cannot overcome, it is really hard to find out the obvious big mistakes in governance.

    Although he had a grudge against Emperor Huan with his grandfather, when the whole country mourned, Ah Sheng still sympathized with Emperor Huan. He is neither stupid nor cruel. The problem of saving the country in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was too difficult, and it was so difficult that it could kill a person's ambition and life.

    Han Emperor Huan left, leaving only three princesses, and no prince could inherit the throne.

    Empress Dou, who came from an aristocratic family, was upgraded to become the Empress Dowager, and the empress dowager's father, the famous scholar leader Dou Wu, became the general. After deliberation, they welcomed a twelve-year-old Liu clan as the new emperor.

    Everything, on the surface, looks like a replica of the story of Liang Ji and the Empress Dowager Liang, but there are still subtle differences.

    First, Dou Wu is different from the domineering Liang Ji. He is the spiritual leader of Shilin, a moral model, and one of the "Three Sovereigns".

    Second, unlike the low-key **** group led by Cao Teng when Emperor Huan first ascended the throne, the contradiction between eunuchs and scholars is now irreconcilable. And both sides have tasted the taste of using **** means to destroy the enemy's body.

    With the ignorant little emperor driving into the capital, a new round of blood and blood is about to kick off.
