Chapter 201 Yuanxiaoren
Most of the eunuchs at this time did not have a good reputation in the eyes of the world.
The reason is very simple, that is, during the reign of Emperor Huanling, the decades-long calamity caused by the party's imprisonment was caused by eunuchs.
To put it simply, in order to control the government, the eunuchs did not hesitate to exclude dissidents, tortured the scholar-bureaucrats who were dissatisfied with them, killed the upright ministers of the government, and even made those ministers and everyone related to them permanently barred from being officials.
This approach worsened the situation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was already corrupt, even more rapidly.
It can be said that eunuchs played a very strong catalyst role in the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
So Zhuge Laoyao later used this example in "The Master's Guide" to admonish Adou, asking him to keep close contact with virtuous ministers and stay away from villains.
It is a pity that Adou listened to the old demon Zhuge's words in reverse, and became a close villain and a wise minister from afar.
When Zhuge Laoyao and his successors were in power, they also paid great attention to suppressing eunuchs.
When Dong Yun was in control of the Forbidden Palace, he often reprimanded Huang Hao, who was favored by Adou.
Huang Hao had never received a big official position at that time, and he behaved like a grandson in front of Dong Yun.
What is even more regrettable is that this Adou is somewhat similar to Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. Both of them can be regarded as guys who succeeded or failed because of their ministers.
Duke Huan of Qi acquired Guan Zhong, and he united the nine princes to rule the world and dominate the Central Plains. After the death of Guan Zhong, who assisted him later, the state of Qi declined rapidly.
The overlord of the first generation, Duke Huan of Qi, died of illness and no one cared about him. His body was infested with maggots and crawled all over the house. No one could bury him.
Adou is not far behind.
With the support of Zhuge Laoyao, he not only quickly stabilized the Shu Han regime that was almost destroyed due to the defeat of Jingzhou and Yiling, he was also able to pacify Nanzhong and even conduct frequent northern expeditions.
The battle at the front made the Wei State miserable, but at the rear the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Even the envoys from Soochow came to Shuhan and admired the Shu land under the rule of the old demon Zhuge.
After Zhuge Laoyao and his named heirs were all dead, Adou completely let himself go. Although his favorite minister Chen Zhi was talented, he was too selfish. In order to consolidate his own power, he did not hesitate to collude with Huang Hao and exchange ideas. For the inside and outside.
From this time on, Huang Hao gradually took control of power, and later on, no one could control him.
Had it not been that Adou had some self-awareness and knew not to kill ministers indiscriminately, I am afraid that the Shu Han in the later period would have repeated the **** disaster of Emperor Huan Ling.
It is a pity that Jiang Wei, the last successor of Zhuge Lao Yao, only learned half of his skills. He has the ability to lead troops, but he is a novice in politics.
The Nine Expeditions in the Central Plains wasted people and money, and could not be compared with Zhuge Lao Yao who fought wars while ensuring people's livelihood, and even completely controlled the government.
Due to Feng Tubao's illegal crossing, history began to deviate a little. Huang Hao, who was supposed to stay in the palace, was placed in Hanzhong at this time.
At this time, Huang Hao probably had not yet been suppressed by Dong Yun, so his temper was not as tolerant as in the original history.
It happened that Feng Yong had made great achievements in the past, but he was exiled by the old demon Zhuge and put him in Hanzhong. In the eyes of people who didn't know what he was doing, it was obvious that he was not liked by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
In addition, when I first met him, he didn't even know about Jincheng selling eight oxen plows to wealthy families. If he asked if this was the prime minister's intention, you can imagine how blocked the information was. ?
The Prime Minister really wants to value him, so why does he do this?
It would be different if you followed a Zhao Tong.
The second son of a family like Zhao Guang does not have much say before he shows his talents.
As for Li Yi, in the eyes of outsiders, he came to Hanzhong as an angel to inspect the reclamation situation, and he was not the same person as Feng Yong.
Huang Hao has been in the palace for a long time and is not very well-informed about the news from the outside world. The old demon Zhuge is also very thoughtful. How can the tricks he did to Feng Yong be understood by ordinary people?
Even if he arrived in Hanzhong, because most people in the world looked down on eunuchs, Huang Hao basically had no available people, so how could he possibly get much inside information?
Combining all the circumstances, in his eyes, Feng Tibi became a fat sheep who didn’t have a big foundation but knew a lot of ways to make money. Isn’t he a good candidate for making money?
Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to find the inner palace and give the queen such a huge fortune? Doesn't this mean that you have lost the Prime Minister's favor, so you want to cling to His Majesty and the Queen in order to have a backer?
As for matters related to the inner palace, who among the Han people has more advantages than him?
So Huang Hao thought he had figured this out, so he couldn't wait to test Feng Yong.
The result of the test was very successful. Even though Feng Yong had Li Yi standing by to speak for him, he still wisely gave him ten pieces of cloth.
The reason is also very upright.
Huang Jiancheng is a person from the palace, so his vision is naturally higher than ordinary people. Naturally, he should take some of these cloths back and inspect them to see if there are any flaws.
Huang Hao didn't see the cold look on Feng Yong's back after he left.
It's normal to be tricked by the old demon Zhuge. After all, he can't match his IQ or his power. Moreover, the old demon Zhuge just wanted to prevent the young hero in his eyes from wasting in the countryside, so he found a way to force himself to become the prime minister. It’s understandable that the government is doing things.
It is understandable that Wei Yan was disgusted. After all, he had unintentionally tricked him into losing his position as prefect for no apparent reason. It was human nature to be angry in his heart and find himself angry.
But who is Huang Hao?
You want to scare Adou just by relying on him?
Not to mention that Huang Hao is not yet inseparable from Adou, even if it is during the period of Huang Hao's dictatorship and Jiang Wei writes a letter asking Adou to kill Huang Hao, wouldn't Adou finally ask Huang Hao to come out and apologize to Jiang Wei?
Who called you a eunuch?
The disaster of party imprisonment is still fresh in our minds, so eunuchs are born with a bad reputation.
If Feng Yong really gives in, not to mention that several brothers around him will be disappointed in him, even the name of that smooth-talking villain will be withheld from now on.
Although some people are joking about the name of clever words and **** nowadays, people who understand well know that sometimes this title may not necessarily be without praise. After all, it is for the stability of the Han Dynasty.
But if you give in to Huang Hao, it will be seen as wanting to take the **** route. Fortunately, the flatterer will be promoted to the lord, and the name of the villain will be determined from then on.
“Okay, I didn’t bully you, why are you so angry?”
Feng Yong suppressed the anger in his heart, glanced at Zhao Guang, and said lightly.
"How come you didn't bully me?" Zhao Guang almost jumped up, "What's the difference between bullying my elder brother and bullying my younger brother? Zishi, tell me, is it true or not?"
