The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21

"Standing a ghostly figure leaped to my side swiftly and swiftly. A streak of blue sword light pierced towards the horse like lightning. The point of the sword hit the horse's buttocks. The horse neighed like crazy and left the string Like an arrow, he let go of his four hooves and rushed out. The emperor let out a scream and almost fell off his horse. King Chen Liu sat behind him and hugged him.

"Zhang Rang" I yelled.He pulled out the sword under his ribs smoothly. "Rebellious officials and thieves dare to persecute and rob the Holy Majesty, what crime should they have?"

Zhang Rang's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and his whole body was soaked in blood.When I called him, he was taken aback. When he woke up, he took a closer look, and couldn't help yelling angrily, "You little bastard, our family was looking for you, but you came to the door yourself." He looked up to the sky. Laughing loudly, he shouted: "Yuan Shao, I didn't expect that your karma is coming." I said coldly; "If there is such a thing as karma in the world, the first person who will die is probably you, who is not a man. A dead monster that harms the country and the people. Today, my son will eliminate thieves for the world, and give you a decapitated place."

Zhang Rang suddenly calmed down and didn't draw his sword. He just looked at me coldly and said, "Okay, you said that I am a disaster to the country and the people, but you don't know how I will do the country and the people." His question made me feel stupid. .Stuttering: "You——selling officials and nobles to imprison Confucian scholars, confuse the sage, lead him to lust, deceive the superior and the inferior, and delay the war opportunity. Cultivate cronies and kill dissidents. Aren't these disasters for the country and the people?" Suddenly, in the bushes behind Zhang Rang There was a sneer, and an unmasculine voice interjected; "Mr. Yuan said that, there must be solid evidence. Take it out and have a look, so that our brothers can die happily." I said sharply; "Who is it? I'll get out." A figure flashed out from behind the bushes, his body was erratic, and he rushed to the front in an instant.It's Duan Gui.

Duan Gui's appearance is not much better than Zhang Rang's, his clothes are messy, and his whole body is bloody. He glared at me and said loudly; "Mr. Yuan, take out the evidence, and throw yourself into the river to die by yourself. You don't need to add any force. How about it?" " I sneered; "I am young and have not participated in major national affairs, so of course I don't have hard evidence. You are lying." Zhang Rang said, "Okay, I don't want your hard evidence. Anyway, our family will definitely not be able to do it today. He survived. May I ask Mr. Yuan, there are always evidences of crimes based on hearsay, please list one or two cases and listen to them."

I coughed dryly and said, "Anyway---there are always some who confuse the Holy One." Duan Gui said calmly; "Of course there are, but it's not just the ten servants who confuse the Holy One. Half of them are civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty. Just take you For the Yuan family, if they were not good at appreciating the holy will, how could they have come to be so honored as the four generations and three princes. As the saying goes, the master is bright and his ministers are upright, and the master is worried about his ministers. It is no wonder that the court is civil and military." I laughed; Come on, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Duan are really innocent." Duan Gui said in a deep voice; "Not innocent. But the crime does not warrant death."

I shouted sharply: "Selling officials and nobles, cultivating cronies and punishing dissidents, how to explain the imprisonment of party members." Zhang Rang laughed sadly; "Party members are also a party, and eunuchs are also a party, but they are members of the court. It’s nothing more than party disputes. It’s nothing to do with harming the country and the people. If this incident caused turmoil in the government, then Confucian scholars are also responsible, so why pour sewage on us just because we don’t have a ‘bird’ in our crotch.” He hasn’t said anything yet After finishing, my face changed color, I took a step back, and shouted; "Then what do you say about murdering the general He Jin? Isn't it a capital crime to kill San Gong?"

Duan Gui shook his head and sighed, "For several years, I heard that the second son of the Yuan family, Wen Da, is a young man who is extremely intelligent and has always been his favorite. Unexpectedly, he is also an idiot like the rest of the Yuan family. There is nothing unusual about it." I don't know. Angry, he just said coldly; "Go on."

Duan Gui sneered and said, "On the surface, if we don't kill He Jin, He Jin and your father will want to get rid of us quickly, so killing He Jin is just for self-protection, not guilty at all. It's very reasonable. Further speaking, What is He Jin——" He stared at me for a long time before uttering two words; "foreign relative"

There was a loud bang in my head; relatives, eunuchs, party disputes.Could this be the cause of the fall of the Han Dynasty?

Duan Gui saw that my face had changed color and I was very imposing, so he took a step closer and snorted coldly; "It has almost become a tradition in the Han world to take turns between foreign relatives and eunuchs. The emperor ascended the throne when he was young, and the emperor's mother's natal family will inevitably become bigger and monopolize power. Domineering, no king. When the emperor grows up, he wants to get back what belongs to him. But his relatives don’t want to give up their rights, so the conflict intensifies. The helpless emperor uses his trusted eunuchs to get rid of his relatives. This forms a The emperor had no cronies when he was young. So he got close to us eunuchs who had no birds in their crotches. Some people without bones, when they saw us gain power, they fawned desperately, and those who couldn't fawn on us tried their best to slander. Wait until this term The emperor died, and the young emperor came to the throne. The new emperor was worried that the power would be lost, so he used the power of his relatives to get rid of the loyal eunuchs before, so that the power of his relatives would grow again. When the power of his relatives could not be controlled, the emperor thought of his side The eunuchs used eunuchs to get rid of their relatives. The cycle of retribution is repeated. In my opinion, no matter who kills who, it is not a crime, but a victim of political strife."

My heart was shocked; yes, I have been familiar with history books since I was a child.It is true that He Jin was not the only general who was killed by the eunuch.Didn't Dou Xian, who made great contributions in pacifying the Huns, Deng Zhi, the great general who succeeded Dou Xian, and the "dominant general Liang Ji" who had the power to poison the emperor Liu Yan to death, all died in the hands of eunuchs?In this way, He Jin's death is really no wonder these brothers who don't have a bird in their crotch.

The relatives and eunuchs of the Han Dynasty seemed to be born with mortal enemies, and they must fight to the death.If He Jin doesn't die, the eunuch must die. Now that He Jin is dead, the eunuch will still die.For one reason only, the wand of power is gone, and the emperor who protected the eunuchs is dead.So the eunuch became the target of public criticism, and the emperor became a fatuous scapegoat.

Haha, I suddenly figured it out.However, I still loudly questioned Duan Gui; "What is the crime of King Chenliu and the emperor? They were kidnapped and bullied by you two. Just this one is enough for you to die a thousand times."

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and Chunyu Qiong's army had already arrived.Duan Gui knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and cried bitterly; "Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I followed the late emperor." Then he turned and threw himself into the river to die.That's good, it saves me from doing it.

Zhang Rang glared at me, and shouted hoarsely: "As for forming a party, cultivating cronies and killing dissidents, your Yuan family is more than ten times worse than ours. Why no one hates you, from our point of view, it’s just because you have a bird in your crotch. Haha.”

Before I had time to speak, Zhang Rang let out a long roar, and wiped the horizontal sword towards his neck.Blood spurted out, and Zhang Rang's body fell down.
