17 Learn from Cao Cao
Hu Guang was a little stunned, and said with a slight anger: "Hmph, they don't have the courage yet!"
"That's why you made them feel guilty!" Yuan Qiao heard it and said casually. He could hear from his tone that he didn't seem to care much.
"Impossible!" Hu Guang subconsciously denied when he heard this.
Yuan Qiao did not answer, obviously he didn't care about the follow-up matters.
Hu Guang felt bored, so he clicked offline and exited from the chat group system. Suddenly, he thought of something and was stunned.
After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he hated the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian. Not only did he whip the corpse and behead him, but he even felt that the number of people was far from enough after the ministers presented the eunuch party list, but he also wanted to expand the attack and arrested many people. Even after the case was settled, the party disputes under the name of eunuch party were still ongoing because they were effective.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly felt a little impressed. In history, the relationship between civil servants and eunuchs in the Chongzhen Dynasty seemed to be good, so that the factory guards did not do much. In the writings of those literati, it was a joke that the factory guards in this dynasty were loyal and righteous people.
I think of the time when Emperor Chongzhen hanged, there was only one eunuch Wang Chengen, and civil servants and generals surrendered one after another, and even a large number of eunuchs. Is this phenomenon simply attributed to these people being greedy for life and fear of death? Isn’t there any factors of Emperor Chongzhen himself?
At this time, Hu Guang remembered a famous saying by Mencius: "If a king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers regard him as his confidant; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as grass, then his ministers regard him as enemies."
Although this passage is a bit absolute, it is not without reason. At least Emperor Chongzhen's original fate has reflected this point. Although some ministers have died for their pride, this is in the context of the thousands of years of influence of Confucianism. Thinking of this, Hu Guangxin realized something.
At this moment, Wang Dehua outside seemed unable to wait and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have just checked it briefly, but it is so shocking that it involves many eunuchs in the hands of the seal. Please check it out."
When Hu Guang heard this, he frowned and suddenly said to the outside: "Issued the order to pass on the 12th Inner Palace, the Fourth Department, and the Eighth Bureau's Secondary Supervision Office waiting in the imperial study."
Wang Dehua was happy when he heard this. It seemed that His Majesty was angry, and he was afraid he wanted to warn him. Haha, you don’t respect our family on weekdays. Now, our family has these real evidence and will make you look good!
He thought so, and immediately responded loudly: "I obey the order!"
Wang Dehua's movements were very fast, and in less than half an hour, everyone was almost the same.
Then, Hu Guanghua drove to the imperial study. Along the way, the eunuchs and palace maids who served were all trembling. Others may not know the situation, but they are on the rotation and probably know what will happen next. Many of them are even very scared because they may be involved.
The young eunuchs in the imperial study were all real power figures in the inner palace. When they arrived urgently, they all understood what was going on. Suddenly, many people looked pale, and they looked at Wang Dehua with resentment, jealousy, regret, etc.
In the imperial study room, only Wang Dehua held his head up and his chest raised. He guessed in his heart that His Majesty chose to be in the imperial study room, obviously he was going to deal with this matter. With His Majesty's temper, this time, many people were afraid that the head would fall to the ground! As he thought about it, he felt very proud.
Even when the emperor arrived, Wang Dehua had the greatest voice and the most powerful strength amid the sharp welcome.
After Hu Guang sat down, he looked at the group of eunuchs and young prisoners kneeling below. After a moment of silence, he looked at Wang Dehua who had been waiting for him.
Upon receiving the prompt, Wang Dehua suppressed the excitement in his heart and took out a stack of folds from his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, all those who are in and out of the palace that I have checked are here. Please check it out."
There was no other movement in the Yu Study except his voice. After he finished speaking, he could not even hear the sound of breathing.
But the emperor didn't say anything or show it, so he made Wang Dehua just hold a stack of folds and froze there, which surprised him a little.
After a while, Hu Guang spoke slowly, his voice a little severe: "Although I haven't read the list, I can guess that there will be many of you in that fold. The eunuch is in the foreign ministers, don't you know it's a big taboo?"
The emperor was angry and said such words. Everyone in the imperial study room, including Wang Dehua, dared not face Hu Guang, and they all leaned against the ground, not daring to move. Many people even had sweat on their backs.
Hu Guang glanced at them and felt their fear. He calmed down and said, "But you are my confidants, so I asked you to sit in these positions and do my job for me. For the sake of the past, I will spare you this time. But I dare to kill the nine clans next time!"
In this case, even Wang Dehua, who was unwilling to accept it, had to follow the others and say thank you loudly.
After the Yu Study room calmed down again, Hu Guang signaled: "It's burned!"
After hearing this, Wang Dehua burst into tears. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to get up and throw the fold in his hand into a warm carbon basin next to him. He looked at the hard work, and the sharp weapon used to attack others turned into ashes.
When the other young eunuchs saw him, they understood that the emperor was learning from Cao Cao's allusion to burn letters, so they used this to signal him not to care about it anymore. After forgiven this time, they couldn't help but feel very moved.
"Ding, achievement value +1, from eunuch Shen Liangzuo!"
"Ding, achievement value +5, comes from eunuch Gao Qiqian!"
"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from eunuch Cao Huachun!"
"Ding, achievement value +5, from eunuch Li Fengxiang!"
“…”
The sound of ding ding kept ringing. Except for Wang Dehua who did not contribute, everyone else contributed the achievement value. Hu Guang glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group system and saw that the achievement value finally stopped at 381.
Hu Guang was happy this time. It was not bad, it was a complete surprise!
However, on the surface, Hu Guang still kept it the same. After Wang Dehua returned to his original position, he said again: "You should read more "Neiling Order" and "Zhongjianlu". Don't throw these two books aside after leaving the Nei Shutang, otherwise you will not remember your duty and will easily go on the Wei side!"
He also knew from the original memory of Emperor Chongzhen that basically the eunuchs in important positions came from the Nei Shutang, and not only had a basic writing skills, but also had to educate them on their ideological and moral character.
This "Nei Ling" is the precepts of emperors from all dynasties to eunuchs since Taizu and Emperor Taizong; while the "Loyal and Records" collects the deeds of eunuchs of various dynasties and dynasties, and is used as a model for eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to follow the examples.
