Chapter 243 (1/2)

i see.

Liu Ye suddenly realizes that a group of scholars headed by general He Jin are not used to the eunuchs such as the ten constant attendants, so the two sides have been in opposition. Because of the Yellow turban rebellion and the Han Sui rebellion, the king Ling, who had been addicted to pleasure, also felt threatened. Therefore, he established the eighth commander of Xiyuan to command the soldiers and restore his prestige.

Although Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were all descendants of aristocratic families with noble status, the Emperor Ling obviously could not trust them. For the Emperor Ling, the most trustworthy were eunuchs. Although Zhang rang and Zhao Zhong were close to each other, they were not military. Jian Shuo was physically strong and had read military books. Therefore, under the great joy of Lingdi, Jianshuo was a captain of Shangjun and eighth captain of Xiyuan First of all.

However, Lingdi soon found that he could completely master the eight Xiaowei of Xiyuan through Jianshuo, and became the superior power of Liu Xie, so he began to operate secretly.

He Jin of course did not agree. On the one hand, the scholars were opposed to the eunuch party; on the other hand, he supported Liu Bian, his nephew. In any way, he would oppose it.

He Jin nodded: ”yes, the eunuch party was a disaster to the country and the people. Lu Shangshu and Huangfu were dismissed because of the eunuch's misfortune. But for Huangfu's contribution to the expedition, Lu Shangshu would still be in prison.”

Huang Fu Song heard this and sighed slightly.

Yuan Shao said boldly: ”what the general said is that we scholars should follow the example of our predecessors and advise your majesty not to do so. Otherwise, would the Great Han Dynasty become the world of eunuchs?”

The performance of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers was different from each other. Yuan Shu, who had been a knight errant, exposed his shortcomings of impatience, while Yuan Shao was awe inspiring and won the admiration of many scholars.

However, Cao Cao did not say a word, which was somewhat embarrassing.

When he heard the word ”eunuch party”, Cao Cao was not satisfied. His grandfather, Cao Teng, was also a eunuch in the palace. However, Cao Teng was a clean man. Although he was old, he didn't influence the government as much as ten constant attendants, but served the emperor carefully.

He Jin is indignant when he sees all the people present. He nods with satisfaction and then looks at Liu Ye.

”Yu Qing, what do you think of this matter?”

Liu Ye is slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, he Jin asks him about his head. His head immediately moves quickly.

”It is not advisable to lead the army by eunuch, but if it is put forward directly, it will offend your majesty.” Liu Ye said slowly.

Yuan Shu frowned: ”Yu Qing, what do you mean by this? Is it so that you allow your majesty to delegate power and ignore eunuchs?”

”The highway.” Yuan shaomei wrinkled his head and blamed him: ”Yuqing is a young hero. Naturally, he can't be listed with the eunuchs. There must be some other ideas.”

Yuan Shu frowned. He didn't like this brother, but in front of so many people, he couldn't help but give him face. So he nodded and looked at Liu Ye.

”The first two disasters of Party imprisonment must be remembered by all of you?” Liu Ye said slowly.

As soon as this speech came out, almost all the people present were awe inspiring.

The disaster of Party imprisonment It is a painful collective recollection of scholars in the late Han Dynasty. A group of scholars headed by Taifu Li Ying opposed the eunuch party, but they were suppressed by Emperor Huan, which happened twice before and after.

”If our collective suggestions offended your majesty, it would be a third time of Party imprisonment. If the eunuchs in the palace had no rivals, would it not be a disaster to the world? In one's opinion, we might as well preserve our useful bodies. ”

The political struggle is very cruel, but there is a very reasonable saying: if you leave the green hills, you will not worry about firewood burning. As long as you don't get completely overwhelmed, there is still the possibility of turning the tables.

If the general led the ministers to come forward, I was afraid that it would offend the sensitive little heart of Lingdi.
