The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

"Ben Chu, have you heard? This time to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves, Huangfu Song was promoted to Jizhou Mu, Zhu Jun was promoted to Henan Yin. But Lu Zhi only got a small lieutenant general." The one who spoke was the lieutenant Zhang Jun. .

"Who let Lu Zhi go against the general? He will have to die in the position of a lieutenant general for the rest of his life," Yuan Shao took a sip of wine.

"At first, you only know one thing but not the other. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are not members of the general, but a faction of the eunuchs." Zhang Jun was a little angry. He had long disliked eunuchs intervening in politics.

"Mr. Langzhong, you have to be careful with what you say. Walls have ears. Now Shi Chang's power in the palace is no less than that of the general." Yuan Shao held Zhang Jun, afraid that he would continue to speak.

"I will go into the palace to report to the emperor and eradicate these eunuchs." Zhang Jun stopped drinking and hurriedly mounted his horse and went into the palace to see the emperor.

"What's the use of being so impulsive? I'm afraid there will be another innocent soul." Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly.

Emperor Ling sat on the dragon chair: "Mr. Zhang, you have something to discuss with me, and you asked me to retreat. Can you tell me now?"

Zhang Jun knelt down at the foot of the steps and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am bold enough to participate in something that displeases Your Majesty today."

"What's the matter? Tell me. I forgive you." Emperor Ling waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Jun to continue.

"It's the ten regular attendants." Zhang Jun finally said the name that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

Upon hearing Shi Changshi, Emperor Ling immediately turned his eyes aside.

Zhang Jun knew very well that the emperor had a bad look on his face, but he believed that only a loyal minister would risk his own life to remonstrate. "You don't need to say more, your majesty also knows that the Yellow Turban Rebellion has gradually subsided and calm has returned to various places. At this time, please ask your majesty to clear the emperor's side and eliminate the trouble in the palace."

"Why are you saying this today?" Emperor Ling's face was a little gloomy.

"Shi Chang served in the government, obstructed His Majesty's hearing, colluded with the ministers, blatantly asked for bribes, and even sold his official position. Just like this time, General Lu Zhi was the first to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but because he was not a member of the eunuch party, he only received rewards. I have killed General Zhonglang. If things continue like this, I am afraid that the chaos in the party will start again, and the Han Dynasty will be in danger." Zhang Jun kept talking.

Hearing this, Emperor Ling remained silent. The so-called Ten Constant Attendants are the twelve eunuchs in the court. They serve as regular eunuchs, headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. They served Emperor Ling when he was young and were deeply favored. A group of eunuchs was formed. Apart from Jian Shuo, they were the most trusted people of the emperor.

However, the fathers, brothers and sons of these ten permanent servants are spread all over the country, running rampant in the villages and causing harm to the people, and no one from the local officials dares to take care of them. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty had great ambition but little talent, so he had no choice but to drink and indulge in sex. Even though he knew that what Zhang Jun said was right, he did not make any reply, but once again moved his eyes to the palace garden.

"Your Majesty, please make your decision!" When Zhang Jun said this, he knelt down again.

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Emperor Ling asked.

"Please ask the Holy Spirit to issue an edict to imprison the ten permanent servants, and let the censor examine the crimes. Then behead Nanjiao, and make their crimes public to the world. The world will naturally..."

Before Zhang Jun finished speaking, an angry voice came from behind the tent: "Shut up! You bold traitors and traitors have slandered us in front of His Majesty. I'll chop your head off first!" The ten constant servants jumped out one by one, angrily With his hair standing on end and his eyes furrowed, he rushed towards Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun was a civil servant. He had never seen such a formation before. He was so shocked that he fainted to the ground with a cry of "ah".

After that, Shi Chang summoned the imperial doctor, boiled the medicinal soup, pried open Zhang Jun's mouth and fed it in. After a while, Zhang Jun's body was carried out of Weiyang Palace.

The ten ministers were worried that the emperor would no longer trust them, so they knelt down in front of the emperor in tears. Emperor Ling had been with them since he was a child, so he naturally believed their words and the matter was settled.

Afterwards, Shi Changshi was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so he suggested to Emperor Ling that Lu Zhi should be promoted to the rank of Grand Sima, so that he could silence the courtiers and make the term "eunuch party" self-defeating. Of course, in order to calm the turmoil, many people who had made small contributions in the campaign against the Yellow Turbans were also rewarded.

Among them was a man who weaved mats and sold shoes!
