The imperial court finally issued a decree. Just when Huangfusong had just opened up the situation and was about to reverse the situation, a decree made everything for him come to nothing...
No one thought that Huangfu Song, who was almost risking his life for the future of the Han Dynasty, was not defeated by the enemy on the battlefield, but was feared in the court.
After Lu Zhi and others heard this decree, their expressions instantly became extremely gloomy.
They looked at Zhang Wen who stood up, and then at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who were following Liu Hong... and his Majesty, their expressions were even more ugly.
There were even sparks coming out of his eyes, as if he was going to be broken into pieces!
To be honest, eunuchs are the extension of imperial power. Not everyone in the world can see this most basic truth, and not everyone in the world is pretending to be stupid.
For example, some aristocratic families would hang out with eunuchs, so why would those elite celebrities bother themselves like this?
They are not fools. The benefits gained from doing this have nothing to do with them personally, or even have much to do with their families!
For example, Lu Zhi, he said that it is better to say that he is the Lu family of Fanyang in Youzhou, but his family is crowded together, isn't it just a few members of his family?
It doesn't matter if the population is declining, Lu Zhi is the only one who can enter the court.
For whom could Lu Zhi look down on eunuchs so much?
Is it because they don’t have eggs?
This is not the case. The situation in the court seems to be that of eunuchs, relatives, and aristocratic families, and these four forces are entangled back and forth.
But in fact, they are also united with each other.
One of the eunuchs, Shi Changshi, had a close relationship with He Jin, one of his relatives. It was hard to tell whether he was a friend or an enemy, and his relationship with He Miao, one of his relatives, was even more irreconcilable.
On the other side, the aristocratic family, the fourth generation and the third prince, the Yuan family themselves took the initiative to join the eunuchs. The family's younger brother Yuan Shao and the eunuchs were fighting to the death, but the relationship between the Yuan family and the eunuchs was still somewhat unclear.
Likewise, the Cao family, who was born in the Han Dynasty and founded the country, relied on eunuchs to rise again.
And those who really fought with the eunuchs to the end were those from clear families who didn’t know whether they were from aristocratic families. If we were to count, most of these people would be considered from humble families...
And the reason why they had such strong opinions on eunuchs was not because they were involved in politics.
Because they still respect some eunuchs very much. For example, the ancestor of the Cao family, Cao Dachangqiu, promoted many famous people.
Both Zhang Wen and Zhang Wen were promoted by him, and their reputation has always been good.
And this time when they came into contact with the party, some eunuchs still stood up and helped them put in good words. These people were respected by the other party.
The reason why they hate people like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong is simple.
That's stupid!
They have to rely on the emperor. If they want to get rights, if they want to get rich and enjoy themselves, they must rely on rights. Therefore, even if the emperor does something wrong, they will condone the emperor so that they can benefit themselves.
But they forgot that if the Han Dynasty was destroyed, they would no longer be able to rely on being emperor.
This is the most fundamental reason why those please lumen stones hate them.
The aristocratic families want power, and they are constantly annexing the lands in Guizhou and growing their power.
But they still understand the rules. At least until now, they still know that the big man cannot be finished. If he wants to have this power, he must have the rules of this world.
If they abide by the rules and don't overturn the table, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, and they can last long.
Unruly fools, they kicked each other out themselves.
This is the fundamental reason why they can still exist.
But the eunuch didn't understand.
After the court was dismissed, Lu Zhi and others naturally came together in small groups, and the purpose of their trip... was also very simple.
Discuss government affairs!
Or simply, discuss His Majesty’s order this time.
"Why does Your Majesty have to do this? Zhang Wen has some abilities and is famous enough, but how can he be as capable as Huangfu Song?
The northwest has finally gotten a little better, and I am looking forward to pacifying the northwest.
At this time, Huangfu Song was replaced and Zhang Wen was asked to come up. How could he... be the person who could put an end to the chaos? "
Regarding His Majesty's decision, although there are not many people in the DPRK who understand military affairs, they can tell the reason for the decision in the northwest.
But there were many people who saw that the court was strange and that there was a gap between Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song.
After all, they don't understand the war... How can they not understand Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen?
This is not the same kind of person!
As the group of people talked, their anger grew stronger, and they couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi who was not far away.
Looking at Lu Zhi who was silent, someone finally couldn't stop talking.
"Ziqian, please say a few words. This is where you really commanded the army. You can tell me...this Wen...our Great Sikong, this Brother Boshen, can we To pacify the northwest?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Lu Zhi gave the answer without hesitation, "Boshen has a good reputation, but fame does not equal the art of war.
It is not difficult to solve the trouble this time. After all, even if they cannot win on the battlefield, they cannot be driven away by assassination and other means.
I, a big man, have done this thing of boiling water to stop it from boiling once or twice.
You don't need to worry too much. "
"..." Everyone looked at Lu Zhi's attitude and listened to his words, but there was no intention of getting better on his face.
"Ziqian, since you know, then why do you..."
"Why don't you guys want to speak?" Lu Zhi did not give the other party a chance to finish speaking this time, but directly interrupted the words and asked back.
“Even if you don’t understand military matters, Bo Shen doesn’t understand it very well either.
And can't you guys tell me about the taboo of changing generals before the battle?
I have always read a few copies of this military book. If I haven’t read Sun Tzu’s Art of War, I should have read the Spring and Autumn Period to understand the righteousness.
I'm afraid you all still have the ability to refute this in court, right?
After all, everyone, like me, can see why General Huangfu behaves like this.
It's just that he is afraid that his great achievements will shock the master.
Lu can't say anything about this, and neither can you.
All I can say is... Bo Shen is lucky.
My big guy's luck...is not good! "
When Lu Zhi said this, he was a little helpless. I don't know when the big man started to fall into a strange circle.
In other words, the emperor of the Han Dynasty fell into a strange circle.
The throne of the Han Dynasty experienced turbulence time and time again. Every time the turmoil subsided, it relied on the eunuchs to stabilize it.
Starting from the time when Empress Dowager Deng relied on Zheng Zhong and Cai Lun, the status of eunuchs continued to improve, especially when Empress Dowager Deng wanted to return power to the emperor.
This wise Queen Mother did many, many things.
The aristocratic families back then were much more powerful than they are now because of the tacit approval and connivance of the two emperors, Emperor Guangwu and Mingzhang.
Moreover, no room is spared in doing things, and under power, there are many more ambitions.
Not to mention those in the court, even those who circulated documents and memorials in the palace, such as the emperor's personal attendant, as well as official positions such as the regular attendant, the provincial minister, the Huangmen minister, etc. were all occupied by those famous families.
To put it bluntly, the palace was like a broken cage with air leakage from all sides, without any secrets.
All these things, even if the Queen Mother Deng took all these positions back into her own hands, it would be reasonable and reasonable, and it was the only thing the Queen Mother Deng could use at the beginning.
That is, those eunuchs.
Promoting eunuchs was the path that had to be taken in the first place. In order for the eunuchs to complete this task, it was reasonable for them to learn from the great Confucianists and receive their teachings.
But...the situation is no longer what it was back then. The throne is constantly changing, the relatives are constantly changing from generation to generation, and the powerful officials in the court are also emerging one after another.
If every emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to take back his power, the only power he could use was the eunuchs around him.
This was actually something the court tacitly approved of.
After all, a foreign relative... is just a foreign relative, and he has nothing to do with any force in the DPRK.
They are not fools, and they will not fail to understand the story of the emperor and his courtiers.
But...some emperors are surrounded by real powerful eunuchs, and they really help the emperor stabilize the court, although there is fierce internal fighting.
But...they are not greedy for money!
In other words, they are not so greedy for money, what they want is power and the emperor's trust.
And even if these people started the disaster of party imprisonment and made the emperor's reputation somewhat bad, these eunuchs were still recognized by many people.
It left quite a bit of face!
But the current His Majesty is different. The eunuchs around him are simply a group of greedy guys to the extreme.
He doesn't have much power, but his ability to be greedy for money is astonishing.
Even this time, even if they take action against Huangfu Song, everyone present dare not speak out.
But who doesn’t know the reason for this?
Lu Zhi looked at everyone present and did not say anything more, but stood up and left directly.
This time he didn't want to participate. If these people hadn't pulled him away, he wouldn't have bothered to waste time with them here.
What Lu Zhi is really looking for is the commander of the army this time, the cavalry general who is about to go to the front to replace Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen!
Outside Zhang Wen's mansion, Lu Zhi successfully blocked the army commander who had just returned from the palace.
The moment Zhang Wen saw Lu Zhi, even though Zhang Wen's official position was much higher than that of Lu Zhi, he still felt a little frightened in his heart.
Looking at Lu Zhi, he didn't dare to speak directly.
And Lu Zhi also knew that he was not here to cause trouble today. He looked at Zhang Wen calmly and then extended his hand towards Zhang Wen's mansion.
"General Chariot...please!"
