Lord Yuan

Chapter 120: Fully Learn Lessons from Political Struggles
This class-related political struggle proceeds as scheduled.

Attendant Liu Yu used the golden star of the western border to unfavorably open the curtain for the general.

Chen Fan was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty and held a high position of power. With just one order, officials at all levels gathered around him.

General Dou Wujun dismissed the Huangmenling who was in charge of informing the inside and outside, and replaced him with a small Huangmen who was close to him. With the help of his power, the new Huangmenling quickly established a foothold in the palace, and then the Huangmen Ling came forward to accuse Zheng Sa, the Shangshu of Changle, and sent him to Beisi Prison for interrogation.

As time went on, the Taifu and others became unstoppable. They first used torture to extract a confession, tortured and interrogated Zheng Sa, and got his confession to be true, and also implicated Cao Jie, Wang Fu and other eunuchs.

When these memorials, which could be used to discuss matters and admonish the emperor, appeared in the hands of the Taifu, they were full of confidence and looked forward to the coming end of the eunuchs.

In fact, whether they were eunuchs or scholars, the methods they used to deal with hostile forces were almost exactly the same.

They all rely on some means to force some of the grassroots or middle-level people on the other side to spit out something, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals. Even if you are really not guilty, in the face of this situation, you must make some changes, and make appropriate changes. Pointing out the faults of your superiors can help you suffer less.

For eunuchs who are already full of crimes, Chen Fan and others can list countless crimes at will, but these are not as effective as others' confessions. Everyone is afraid that their teammates will stab them in the back at a critical moment. , even a eunuch.

After getting the confession, the first thing Chen Fan Dou Wu did was to ask Huangmen Ling Shan Bing, Shangshu Ling Yin Xun and other ministers to advise him. However, the person currently in charge is Empress Dowager Dou. This kind of discussion of national affairs requires admonition to senior officials. Officials' memorials must be sent to the Queen Mother for review.

Fortunately, the memorial road to Empress Dowager Dou's Yongle Palace had to be taken over by eunuchs. Regarding this rule, although Chen Fan and Dou Wu wanted to directly bypass this rule, due to the Queen Mother Dou's presence, he had to give up.

In the past few days, the joint actions of the Tutor and the General had achieved remarkable results. Even Su Kang, Guan Ba ​​and other eunuchs in the autocratic province, who were powerful among the eunuchs, had all been executed, and they immediately deposed Changle Shangshu Zheng. Sa, the interrogation all night has already made the eunuch group's inner circle tense and tense.

And the Taifu made another fatal mistake, or failed to understand the consequences of acting too hastily. Even if Yuan Shao said something, he wanted to warn Chen Fan in advance, try to do it as slowly as possible, and never make a one-size-fits-all decision to prevent the eunuch from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

However, the current situation is completely moving towards the imagination of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and other scholars. Faced with such a good opportunity, how could Chen Fan let it go? No matter how Yuan Shao tried to persuade him, it was of no avail.

Yuan Shao understood that the conflict of interests between the scholars and the eunuchs had forced them both to never be relieved. No matter who had the absolute advantage, they might strive to kill them all at once like the Taifu.

Even the Yuan family, who had always kept a low profile, and other prominent families were selectively taking one step forward at this moment.

As a general in the army, Yuan Shu was immediately entrusted with important tasks by Yuan Feng and fully obeyed the Taifu's arrangements. As for Yuan Shu himself, he liked this situation very much. He could perform meritorious service without any scruples. Compared with Yuan Shao who was so timid, he Very happy.

Yuan Shao just used Cao Jie's face and became a model for the world. If he really compared, how far behind him was he?If that Cao Jie dares to appear in front of me, I, Yuan Shu, will not be afraid of him. He is just a rootless person, and he dares to bark in front of me, Yuan Shu. This time, I finally seize an opportunity to avenge my shame. , even when Yuan Feng first proposed this plan, Yuan Shu, as the operator, took the initiative to stand up and stated that everything would be in compliance with the family's teachings.

Although Yuan Feng was a little surprised, he was also very happy to see Yuan Shu's cooperation.

Then he pulled Yuan Shu to explain how powerful he was during this period.

If Taifu wins, you can beat the loser and gain a reputation, so that you can show your face in front of the three nobles and nine ministers, and create excellent opportunities for your future career.

If the eunuch wins, you will languish and choose truces and avoid war in various ways. Although the eunuch is strong, he still needs to maintain enough respect when facing me, the Yuan family. As long as you don't go too far, Those eunuchs don't dare to do anything to you.

Yuan Feng didn't know whether he understood the following words. Anyway, the core member Yuan Ji was still following the steps. As long as this incident was over, he could be promoted one step higher and reach the Qianshi level. No matter who wins or loses, for a family like theirs In fact, it doesn't have much impact.

As for Yuan Shao, Yuan Feng actually had the intention to call him back to the family, but Yuan Ji is now gradually growing into the family's successor and has been trained in this way. If Yuan Shao, who is in the spotlight, is allowed to come back, brother How about meeting each other?
With the seemingly extremely helpful help from these aristocratic families, how could Chen Fan and Dou Wu choose to listen to a fledgling Yuan Shao? No matter how talented you are, you have not yet grown up at this time.

As a result, this memorial, which stated the impeachment of all eunuchs and re-specified the rules, was naturally sent to the eunuch who sent the memorial document.

At this tense time when everything was filled with the smell of blood, everyone's nerves were extremely tense, and the little eunuch who delivered the memorial was no exception. He was also a eunuch. Looking at the way the Taifu was ready to go, It looks like he wants to catch all the eunuchs in one fell swoop.

He didn't know if he was in that net or not. In order to keep it safe for a while, he chose to risk being beheaded and opened the memorial.

He was glad that he had opened the memorial.

On this memorial presented to the Queen Mother, there were clearly written words to kill the eunuchs, and the impact of this memorial was also far beyond his imagination. The radiation range was so wide that even he clearly understood The eunuchs who were usually conscientious in their work, never slacking off, and never forming cliques, were suddenly within the attack range. He didn't understand why in the struggle between the two factions, it was the little shrimps like them who suffered first.

He didn't want to be simply treated as a lamb to be slaughtered.The superior officer Chang Le Wu Guan Shi Zhu Yu was found. After he learned the content of the memorial, he was immediately furious. What Cao Jie and Wang Fu did, the Taifu could just kill him, so why should people like them be involved.

His mind was extremely clear at this moment. Under a series of operations by the Tutor and the General, the current eunuch had already fallen into decline. If it was not stopped in time, there would be no chance of turning around.

Making a decisive decision, he raised his arms and shouted: "Teacher Chen Fan and General Dou Wu asked the Queen Mother to plot to depose the emperor. This is a treasonous and unethical act, and everyone will punish it. We will unite to clear the emperor, protect the emperor, and execute him." The remnants of the traitors."

In fact, no matter who uses the title Qingjunzi, eunuchs like them are the only ones who are not qualified to use it.

But time was urgent, Zhu Yu could only think of this method, and summoned seventeen eunuchs including Changle Congguan overnight to form a blood alliance.

They plan to use force to eliminate Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who intend to destroy the entire eunuch.

Regarding this plan, in fact, as the head of the eunuchs, Wang Fu and others had no idea about this plan at this time. It was not until Xiao Huangmen slipped out by chance that they learned about Chen Fan Dou Wu's plan.

At the same time, Cao Jie was overjoyed to learn that Zhu Yu and other eunuchs who controlled the palace guards intended to eliminate Chen Fan and other parties by force. In fact, they were not harmonious on weekdays. Fortunately, there was peace between the two parties. Now Chen Fan Under Dou Wu's coercion, these officials in the Queen Mother's palace who had not done much trouble turned against them and completely fell into their arms.

Cao Jie told Wang Fu the good news.

Wang Fu, an old and cunning man, knew very well how powerful Chen Fan was. After some thought, he came up with a clever plan, which was a conspiracy that no one could refuse.

Soon, under the arrangement of Cao Jie, Wang Fu and other eunuchs, the sleeping emperor Liu Hong was awakened by the hurried Xiaohuangmen and others, telling Liu Hong that there was a rebellion and the situation was tense. He asked the emperor to go to Deyang Palace immediately. announced the counterinsurgency before.

Although Liu Hong has learned some tactics through study, facing the current situation, he can only follow Cao Jie and other eunuchs at a loss.

After having the emperor, the last fear in Cao Jie's heart disappeared in an instant, and he had the attitude of having the emperor in his hands. When the emperor drew his sword and ordered the imperial guards to guard the palace, he ordered Shan to die. The emperor's wet nurse and others, who had arrived late, gathered around the emperor.

Collect everyone's seals and documents for entering the palace, and close the palace door tightly. No one can come to the palace without notice. Then they send people to the Shangshu Desk, threaten the officials on duty with a knife, and order them to write According to the edict, Wang Fu was appointed as the Huangmen Order, and he went to Beisi Prison to arrest Yin Xun and Shan Bing with the Emperor's Talisman Festival.

Yuan Shao was in the Chancellor's Desk, witnessing the historical plot flashing before his eyes again. Although he had the intention, he was powerless. Now the eunuch had taken control of the emperor and had issued the edict.

He could only choose to do his best to be a bystander at this time, and learn an absolute lesson from it.

As for why he didn't warn Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others, Yuan Shao had actually done a lot to remind him in various ways. However, the conflict between scholars and eunuchs had reached a critical point. No matter who it was, Yuan Shao could stop him from executing him at this stage. Anyone who kills eunuchs will be regarded as a traitor.

If it weren't for Yuan Shao, Chen Fan and others would have warned him as a warning to others.

Faced with this situation, even if he is a time traveler, he has not actually gained enough power, and even if the emperor is even very close to him now, he cannot stand up in the face of those already crazy eunuchs. any effect.

It was nothing more than sending a head to the eunuch.

The situation has gradually turned to the eunuch's side quietly.

After all, it occupies the right time and place, but what it lacks is people and people.

With the emperor in hand, no matter how decisive Chen Fan and Dou Wu were, he would always keep his head down when facing the emperor.

As for the so-called peace between people, Yuan Shao knew that it would come soon.

Soon, good news came frequently, and the tense nerves of the eunuchs were relieved.

Wang Fu successfully completed the mission. After a series of operations, Zheng Sa was rescued. Shan Bing, Yin Xun and others were caught off guard. Then he returned to the palace and kidnapped the bewildered Queen Mother Dou, and took the symbol of the big man in his hand. The most powerful talismans and jade seals are all in the bag.

An imperial edict was prepared to order Zheng Sa to go to the General's Mansion to capture Dou Wu.
