Chapter 159: Han and Ma (1)

The lightning strike at Jiade Hall seemed to give Luoyang scholars a shot of a heart attack.

The next day, a scholar from the Tai Academy, led by Liu Tao, a doctor of the Consciousness, reported in the court that a traitor appeared in the Han Dynasty, so the lightning struck the Jiade Hall from heaven as a warning. Dong Qi, a native of Liangzhou, was despicable by nature, and was the evil person warned by God. He should be beheaded, take back the military power of Liangzhou governor Dong Zhuo, and take an old and young man from the Dong family to the capital and sentenced him to death.

This memorial was so full of scattered that Liu Tao shook his head, and suddenly became indignant and sometimes looked sad. In short, it was a sign that he would not stop until he put Dong Qi to death.

Officials all over the North Korean responded, looking very lively.

But smart people can see the clues.

Neither the General He Jin, the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, nor the Ten Eunuchs, including Zhang Rang and others, did not speak.

When the Emperor of Han saw the crowd's anger, he seemed to be at a loss.

"In the opinion of the Taifu, how should the Dong family be dealt with?"

Yuan Wei, who was half-squinted, seemed to be dozing around, suddenly said: "Thunder strikes on the Jiade Hall, but it is a warning from God, but what is warning to me? It still needs to be carefully considered. The will of heaven is unpredictable and the heart of heaven is unpredictable. Just a few people say that it seems a bit too hasty. The old minister thought that if someone who is proficient in the calendar demonstrates it, he would confirm what the meaning of heaven really means."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Rang suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend."

"oh?"

"Idle people will inevitably have a relationship with the Dong family, but this person will definitely not. Moreover, he is a descendant of Liu Xing, the nephew of Emperor Guangwu. If we compare this person, he is still a royal relative, and he will definitely speak impartially and not falsely."

"You mean..."

"The person recommended by Lao Nu is the Guchengmen Captain, Liu Hong and Liu Yuanzhuo."

Before Zhang Rang said this name, Liu Tao and others couldn't help but feel uneasy, afraid that Zhang Rang would say a name they didn't want to hear.

Because as far as Dong Qi is concerned, it has evolved into a major event that preserves the face of scholars.

As Emperor Han continued to strengthen his control over the government and especially the re-enactment of the state and pastoral system, scholars were panicked.

Liu Yan and Liu Yu, this is all easy to say.

However, the appointments of Liangzhou Governor Dong Zhuo, Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan and others seemed to have sent a signal to the scholars: the warriors should rise!

The greatest sorrow is to see those warriors who are usually regarded as synonymous with rudeness standing in the court.

Therefore, Dong Qi must kill and Dong Zhuo must suppress him.

For Liu Tao and other scholars from Tai Academy, this is their last chance.

However, Liu Tao and others had nothing to say about the name Liu Hong.

Emperor Han was very satisfied with the name proposed by Zhang Rang, and nodded repeatedly and said, "My father said it well, and the emperor's uncle is indeed the best candidate."

By generation, Liu Hong was the uncle of Emperor Han.

Moreover, in terms of calendar and astronomy, he can be regarded as the first person in the Han Dynasty.

He once served as the doctor of the Taishi Department of the Episode and the Episode, and determined the position of the sun in the twenty-four solar terms, and the most accurate data in the entire world at that time, and was included in the quarter calendar.

In addition, Liu Hong was proficient in government affairs and was also familiar with mathematics.

The Seven Stars and Eight Yuan Techniques he wrote were extremely authoritative in the entire induction system of heaven and man at that time.

In the sixth year of Xiping, Liu Hong retired due to his father's death and became famous again in the world by compiling "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" at home. Later, because of this reason, he served as a clerk and in charge of the world's finances. In the sixth year of Guanghe, he was dismissed from office for offending ten regular attendants, so he recuperated at home. At the same time, he compiled a strange book called "Qianxiang Li", which is praised by the world.

In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and Feng Zi was killed.

Liu Hong became an official again because of this. However, because he did not bribe Zhang Rang, he had to be the position of Guchengmen Captain.

This person is indifferent and does not like to deal with others. He is fair and has a very famous reputation in Luoyang City.

When Yuan Wei heard this name, his eyes suddenly opened.

He looked at the Emperor of Han with complicated eyes, sighed in his heart, and closed his eyes again.

Last night, Emperor Han sent someone to his home and asked him to say one word in the court, which was the previous words.

At that time, Yuan Wei didn't think of Liu Hong, but now...

This time, Liu Hong came into the sight of Emperor Han again. Now the Han Emperor divided the governors of the state and appointed royal family members. To be honest, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, and Yuan Wei didn't care, but Liu Hong is indeed talented.

If Emperor Han valued Liu Hong, then Liu Hong's attainments in prophecy and divination arts would definitely consolidate the imperial power.

Yuan Wei’s mood is now very complicated.

The eunuch temple has not been removed, and the imperial party has prospered again. There are elbows inside and martial artists outside. Where is the way out for scholars?

After a while, Liu Hong, the captain of Guchengmen, was ordered to come.

Liu Hong is about fifty years old and eight feet tall, but his figure looks a little bloated. Pang Pang's face always has a harmless smile on his face. His small eyes are spinning around, and he walks quickly and is very energetic.

"My minister, Liu Hong bowed to the emperor."

It’s not that the Emperor of Han didn’t like Liu Hong for no reason.

Whether Liu Yan or Liu Yu, these people are all handsome and have good looks.

But Liu Hong seems too ordinary. It makes people forget it immediately after taking a look.

But now, the Emperor of Han still needs to keep a warm smile, "Uncle Emperor please come up quickly. I have something to discuss when I summoned the Uncle Emperor today."

Liu Hong stood up and said, "I dare to ask what the emperor has to give?"

"Uncle Emperor, have you heard of the lightning strike at Jiade Hall last night?"

"I know one or two things."

"Dare you ask if this is a warning from God?"

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, "The Emperor is the Emperor, the son of God, and is protected by God. If something happens in this country and country, God will definitely remind him. The old minister thinks that thunder strikes on the Jiade Hall is indeed a warning from God to the Emperor."

Liu Tao and others breathed a sigh of relief, and they were worthy of being the number one person in the algebra, and they hit it off.

"I dare to ask the emperor, maybe I can calculate what warning there is from God?"

"Emperor, God's will is hard to measure. Whether this warning is good or bad, the old minister can't explain clearly for a while. If the emperor can give the old minister some time, the old minister will do his best to calculate God's will..."

“Is thirty days enough?”

"Yeah, that's enough!"

"Okay, I'll wait a month later to listen to the emperor's answer."

Liu Tao was a little anxious, "Emperor, the death of Huangfu Yizhen..."

"It is precisely because Huangfu Song's death that caused such a thing, I must understand the will of heaven and make decisions. Dong Qi and others continued to take care of the detention, but in this way, no one in the Luanwei camp will be in charge. Who is willing to share my worries?"

In one sentence, the whole morning is silent.

Whoever wants to go to a local official in Luanweiying, even if he is given a position as a third official, he will not be able to afford that person.

Liu Tao and others lowered their heads consciously and said nothing.

On the contrary, General He Jin spoke: "Emperor, Luanwei Camp is quite well-organized now. If someone else is recklessly replaced, it may not be beautiful. I have a discussion and can only ask Dong Qi to continue to serve as the captain of Luanwei Camp. However, before the matter is revealed, no one is allowed to step out of Luanwei Camp, and no one can meet Dong Qi without authorization. In this way, wouldn't both worlds be beautiful?"

He Jin's idea made the scholars in the court stunned.

What kind of custody is this? In the eyes of Liu Tao and others, Dong Qi is not only not a punishment, but also staying in Zhongxiang Country all day long, and it is even a beautiful thing.

But before they could stand up and refute, the Han Emperor seemed to be tired.

"Since the general proposed this, then do it like this... Dong Qi was ordered to stay in Luanwei Camp. Without obtaining the order, he was not allowed to step out of Luanwei Camp and retreat to the court."

The Emperor of Han shook his sleeves and left, which stunned everyone.

*******

That night, Yuan Wei found Yuan Shao and discussed in the secret room.

"Benchu, I see that the Dong family is now deeply loved by the emperor, and it seems to be a bit too big."

Yuan Shao still looked calm, which made Yuan Wei very satisfied. To be honest, the reason why he valued Yuan Shao was because this kid had the academic education of not changing his face. In this regard, Yuan Shu was far inferior to him.

In the court, the first thing you need to learn is to be happy or angry.

The more steady Yuan Shao was, the more he highlighted Yuan Shu's frivolity, and the more he strengthened Yuan Wei's idea of ​​driving Yuan Shu out of Luoyang.

"Uncle, how can the Dong family be too old to go?"

Yuan Wei said: "Today, the emperor ordered Liu Hong to observe the celestial phenomena and measure the will of heaven. It is obvious that he wanted to protect the Dong family."

"Why did my uncle say that?"

Yuan Wei sneered: "I don't know those idiots Liu Tao, but I know it. In the third year of Yanxi, Liu Hong met Cai Yong and formulated the calendar at one time, and the relationship was close. In the first year of Guanghe, Cai Yong was elected by Cai Yong. Liu Yuanzhuo served as the doctor. He compiled the Ruli Calendar together in Dongguan and Cai Yong and Lu Zhi. The three of them were called the Three Friends of Dongguan and were extremely close."

"My nephew doesn't know much about this."

"Of course you don't know... These three people often quarrel over academic issues. To outsiders, the three of them are like water and fire. But I understand that this is also the method of self-protection for the three of them. Cai Yong is good at writing and music, Liu Yuanzhuo is proficient in theory and calculating; while Lu Zigan can be called a master of Confucianism, but his reputation is not as loud as Zheng Xuan, so there are not many people who know it."

After sighing, Yuan Wei said again: "In the first year of Guanghe, Liu Yuanzhuo made arbitrarily speculating on the will of heaven and said that Guanghe failed in the second year of the celestial phenomena, but it caused a great earthquake in Donglai, which was frightened by the royal family and was almost killed. It was Cai Yong who secretly came forward to plead for him... The emperor spared his death penalty and asked him to go to Gucheng Gate to be a guardian of the gate. What do you think about their relationship?"

"This is indeed a bit too secret."

"I'm afraid that Zhang Rang's recommendation of Liu Yuanzhuo is also the emperor's intention. I always feel that Cai Boyi's shadow is the matter in the court today."

Yuan Shao was stunned, "Uncle, Cai Boji is a loyal person, he can't use tricks."

"Beginning, you are still young... Cai Boyi is one of the three kings. He has been through the officialdom for a long time. Although he has risen and fall, he has never been in danger of life. Why? This person is proficient in self-protection. He is not that he cannot use tricks, but that he is disdainful of using tricks and is afraid of insulting his reputation as a great scholar. But if this old man really uses tricks, he is extremely experienced... Look at the emperor's words and deeds in the court today, even Zhang Rang and He Jin, I am afraid that he will plot against him."
