After Jia Chong returned to the mansion, his expression changed from panic to cold.
He waited until night and made sure that the emperor had rested, then sent someone to call Li Sheng and others to him.
The four chamberlains and the two Huangmen were all standing in front of Jia Chong with different expressions on their faces.
Jia Chong remained unmoved, as if nothing had happened.
He looked at the people in front of him calmly, "I am not some treacherous minister and traitor. I sent people to keep an eye on the emperor's words and deeds. I am just because the emperor is young and I am afraid that he has done something wrong, so I can correct it in time."
"This is not something I want to do on my own. It is something I did under the orders of the general."
"Don't worry too much."
"Your Majesty called me today to ask about your affairs. Your Majesty opened his mouth. I cannot deceive Your Majesty, lest I commit the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"However, your Majesty is young after all, and you still need the assistance of a general in everything."
"When you were in Yuancheng, Your Majesty was bullied by villains, and it's even more so today..."
Jia Chong mainly looked at the two Huangmen officials.
As for the chamberlains, he didn't even look at them.
As a traditional scholar-official, he had a deep resistance to eunuchs. This was not an exception. Scholar-officials as a whole were disgusted with these eunuchs.
They believed that the entire chaos in the late Han Dynasty was caused by these eunuchs.
The emperor is a wise man and cannot make mistakes, and they are all virtuous people with the world at heart, so they cannot make mistakes. The fault must lie with the eunuchs and the Shichangshi!
The wise and powerful Emperor Wen Cao Pi realized this, so he no longer had the official position of Zhongchangshi.
Sure enough, after Zhongchangshi disappeared, all the temples were filled with wise men, the world was peaceful, the people were wealthy, and all industries were prosperous.
Wise people are afraid that the people are too tired, so they are kind-hearted and take their cultivated land as their own, turning them into their own tenants to love them.
They were also worried about the dangers encountered by small businessmen traveling north and south, so they annexed their properties, sent them to the border, and robbed their property openly to prevent them from being robbed by bandits.
They were worried that the emperor would be too tired to deal with government affairs, so they thoughtfully took over the duties on his behalf.
Decades later, a catastrophe occurred in Liangzhou. Famine spread all over the land. The people were in dire straits and had to exchange their children for food. The wise men were kind-hearted and could not bear to see this tragic situation, so they quickly sent strong generals and elite soldiers to "relieve the victims." When these strong generals When they had almost killed Guizhou, they had enough food to eat, and the disaster was indeed well controlled.
Later, these wise men were still afraid that their soldiers would suffer too many casualties in the war. For the sake of mercy, they summoned the barbarians outside the Great Wall to fight for them. After the war, they were unwilling to pay wages and even let them rob. Loot untouchables to use as military expenses.
At this moment, Jia Chong, as one of the representatives of the wise man, began to comfort these humble people in front of him.
"Everyone, your Majesty still needs to be careful here."
"Your Majesty now thinks that you will no longer keep an eye on him, so you should agree to him. However, as human ministers, how can we allow your Majesty to make mistakes? Even if it means sacrificing our own reputation, we must assist your Majesty!"
Jia Chong Dayi said calmly.
Uncle Jiao was smiling all over his face, but in his heart he just wanted to spit in his face.
What a shameless old thief! !
Your Majesty is indeed right, you capricious and perfidious evil dog!
Everyone didn't know what they were thinking, but at this moment they all saluted and said yes.
"Jia Gong."
"I don't want to do it."
The smile on Jia Chong's face suddenly solidified.
Hearing this, he looked over and saw that it was Zhou Sheng, one of the chamberlains.
Zhou Sheng was a taciturn man. He entered the palace when he was young and worked conscientiously in the palace for many years.
At this moment, he looked directly at Jia Chong.
"Jia Gong...I have eaten the salary of the temple for many years. Although I am not qualified to talk about morality, I also know that if I betray the master by cannibalizing the salary of others, I will be punished by God."
"Your Majesty has been very kind to me and has never even blamed me for my evil deeds. I will not help others do evil again."
Jia Chong laughed, and his expression suddenly became extremely terrifying.
"You're a castrated dog without a bird...a wild animal that has no father, no mother and no children. How can you talk about betraying your master?"
Li Sheng and others were extremely frightened and wanted to persuade Zhou Sheng, but they were speechless. Jiao Bo and Zhao Cheng looked at him in astonishment.
Zhou Sheng's face was calm, and even though he was so insulted by Jia Chong, he was not angry at all.
"Jia Gong, your father is a wise man."
Jia Chong felt like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on. He was furious. He pointed at Zhou Sheng in front of him and shouted: "Here comes someone!! Take this guy down!! Take off his clothes and beat him! Hit him!" die!!"
Immediately, two slaves rushed in, grabbed Zhou Sheng, and dragged him out.
From beginning to end, Zhou Sheng didn't say a word or curse, and allowed his slaves to drag him away.
"Are you worthy enough to call me father?!"
Jia Chong's father, Jia Kui, was recommended by Cao Cao to serve as Cao Cao's private official. Later, he became a local official.
He personally organized people to develop water conservancy projects, improve local farmland irrigation conditions, dredged some rivers in the Central Plains, and opened more than 200 miles of canals, which facilitated transportation and was known as the "Jiahou Canal" in the world.
After Jia Kui's death, he was remembered by the officials and people of Yuzhou. They carved stone statues, erected monuments and built temples in memory of him. This was rare among Wei officials.
As for his son, that's even rarer...
Screams came from outside, but Zhou Sheng still couldn't resist the beating.
This cry made several people in the room extremely frightened, especially the other servants, who were trembling.
Jia Chong may not dare to execute Huang Menguan at will, but he would kill servants like them at will.
In fact, there were laws in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
In fact, killing is illegal.
In the Han Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats could not kill people at will. Even if they were three princes or princes, they would be punished if they were involved in human life cases. For example, Zhang Buyi, the son of Liuhou in the early Han Dynasty, was deprived of his title for murder, even if he was involved in a human life case. He is a private slave in your family, and you did not kill him just because you asked him to.
The only person who can be legally killed is your son. If your son is disobedient, you can kill him, and the government will kill him for you.
But in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, scholar-officials began to openly kill people, killing people at will without any sanctions. For example, Shi Chong, the most sage in the early Jin Dynasty, often summoned beauties in the palace to accompany guests with wine. If the guests did not drink all the wine, they would kill the beauties. ...It was so unscrupulous that Jie and Zhou had to toast him.
Jia Chong's wife even killed two wet nurses in succession without any punishment.
The screams outside gradually stopped, and the study was very quiet.
Jia Chong looked at the other servants with a ferocious smile.
"He is a wild animal without a father and mother, but you still have your own family, right?"
"Don't bring trouble to yourself, and do the things I have assigned you with peace of mind. Everyone will be rewarded."
"Someone is coming!"
Jia Chong pretended to give money to everyone, showing his tolerance and generosity.
Immediately, he ordered everyone to pretend to agree to the emperor, and then continue to monitor his every word and deed, and to inform himself at any time.
They were not allowed to tell anyone what happened today, otherwise their clan would be killed.
Everyone could only agree.
Jia Chong then drove them out impatiently.
When they walked out of the study, there seemed to be traces of blood being dragged on the ground.
They stepped on the blood and walked out of here in silence.
The chamberlains did not dare to say anything. Their eyes were full of sorrow and they walked silently towards the palace.
But Zhao Cheng sighed.
He glanced at Uncle Jiao next to him with complicated eyes.
"I didn't expect that I am worse than a eunuch today."
Uncle Jiao hurriedly reminded: "Zhao Jun, be careful what you say!"
Zhao Cheng turned his head and glanced at Jia Chong's mansion.
"Jiao Jun, I want to resign...I have to find a way to leave the palace."
"Be careful, don't talk to others in front of the palace..."
Uncle Jiao was shocked, "What are you talking about...I..."
Zhao Cheng shook his head, "It's okay. Don't panic. I'm just reminding you. Don't say anything to Li Zhao. He has a wife and family to protect him. What about us? He came from a poor family and said he was a scholar, but Jia Chong wanted to kill him. How can we be any more difficult than killing eunuchs?"
"Today, I saw Li Zhao talking a lot to others. Although I didn't hear what it was, he is an official in the palace after all. It is inappropriate to talk in private."
Uncle Jiao said nothing and looked very ugly.
Zhao Cheng laughed.
"Your Majesty is very kind to me. Although I can't die calmly like Zhou Sheng, I really can't be a villain like Jia Chong... Farewell!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Zhao Cheng saluted and left in a hurry.
Uncle Jiao stood here, his mind filled with bloodstains from just now.
well.....
