Days are everlasting

The emperor set up eight school lieutenants in Xiyuan, among which the highest status was Shangjun school lieutenant, Xiao Huangmen Jianshuo.

Jian Shuo is from the Xiaohuang family. Of course, his rank is not as high as that of the Zhongchang servants, but he serves at the side of the emperor, and he is more trusted by the emperor than the Zhongchang servants who are getting higher and do not need to be by the emperor's side.

The de facto head of eunuchs in Nangong Jiade Palace should be Jian Shuo, who is deeply trusted by the emperor.

For Jian Shuo being favored so much, many of the attendants are dissatisfied. The trust of the emperor is limited. If Jian Shuo is trusted, there will always be someone whose position in the heart of the emperor will be threatened.

Through the matchmaking of Aunt Zhang in the Changqiu Palace, Liu Bian met Bi Lan not long after Jian Shuo was appointed as the captain of the Shangjun, the head of the eight captains of Xiyuan.

Even eunuchs, as long as they can show their faces in front of the emperor for a long time, they will not look bad.

Nowadays, the selection of officials in the big Han is mainly done by promoting Xiaolian, and an unwritten rule is that the elected Xiaolian should at least have good facial features, and there should be no obvious scars.

The reason is very simple. From ancient times to the present, everyone has judged their faces. The big man was fine at this time. In Liu Bian's memory, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, celebrities were romantic and famous. All of them were handsome and handsome men, and they were ugly. There is no way out.

This is the standard for officials, and eunuchs who have served in front of the emperor for a long time must meet the standard of correct facial features.

What if the eunuch is ugly and appears in front of the emperor and hurts the eyes of the emperor? !

Bi Lan is not ugly, not only is he not ugly, his appearance can also be said to be handsome, handsome and beautiful. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he was definitely the object of pursuit.

Bi Lan is an eunuch, so his temperament is inevitably feminine, and because he has no beard, he looks many years younger than his actual age, so if you don't know his real identity, you will be attracted to him when you meet him.

After all, people are judged by their faces!

Liu Bian was no exception, not to mention that he had intended to befriend him from the very beginning.

Fortunately, Bi Lan was also very cooperative. If someone who didn't know saw the conversation between Liu Bian and Bi Lan, they would definitely think that the two of them were family friends, and the relationship between the two was very deep!

Liu Bian himself made friends with Bi Lan, and the information revealed in his speech showed his attitude—he hoped to win over Bi Lan in his own name.

Although Bi Lan is a senior servant, the ten permanent servants are headed by Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. If we explain it in the form of the company's board of directors in the future, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the major shareholders with the most shares. Although there are many shares and the right to speak, it is not enough for the two major shareholders, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

Bi Lan could see clearly that although the Son of Heaven wanted Dong Hou and Liu Xie to succeed to the throne, the possibility of Shi Hou and Liu Bian's succession was higher with General He Jin as a foreigner.

Moreover, Shihou is the legitimate eldest son, and it is only natural for his son to succeed to the throne. No matter how much the emperor delays, the final winner will most likely be Shihou.

Looking at Shihou's current actions, one can tell that he is consciously gathering power, and Dong Hou suffered from his young age. Anyway, against Shang Shihou, even if he has the emperor's preference, Dong Hou has little advantage.

No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, for the eunuchs, their control over the government for many years will not disappear easily, but, from the heart, Bi Lan is closer to Liu Bian.

Not to mention that Bi Lan's opponent is from the Changqiu Palace, so he will naturally be regarded as the queen's side. From the perspective of interests, Donghou Liuhui will inherit the confidant of the emperor Liu Hong, and his most trusted eunuch should be Jian Shuo , not Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Bi Lan and other ten regular servants, but Shi Hou Liu Bian is the opposite. Bi Lan can be sure that he is the only person he actively contacts. That is to say, Shi Hou's heart is inclined to Yu Bilan's.

In order to protect her own interests, Bi Lan will also choose to support Shi Hou Liu Bian.

The two hit it off, and although Bi Lan couldn't be by the emperor's side all the time, she was able to meet the emperor often. The ten permanent attendants were deeply trusted by the emperor, not just talking.

Liu Bian did not have any psychological pressure to do something that should be shameful, as a direct prince, but fawning over eunuchs a lot.

His father put down his face and declared that Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were his father and mother. Liu Bian just colluded with Bi Lan. What's wrong?

The emperor Liu Hong and Liu Bian didn't have a deep relationship, his father's love was distributed to Dong Hou Liu Xie, and Liu Bian didn't have the slightest psychological pressure to poach his father's corner.

Don't talk about the corner of the emperor, Liu Bian still wants to break ground on his uncle's head and divide his military power!

After the establishment of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan, even the general He Jin will be under his control.

After Jian Shuo was empowered by the emperor, he knew his mission, so he asked the general to lead his army west to Bianzhang and Han Sui.

In his previous life, Liu Bian thought that Jian Shuo and the other constant attendants spoke together because they colluded with each other, but now, Liu Bian understands that the ten regular attendants will agree with Jian Shuo and speak together, so that the general who had a good relationship with some of them Going in and out of Beijing and leaving Luoyang is only for one reason, the emperor Liu Hong wants them to do so.

In the final analysis, the ten permanent servants can have their current status because of the emperor's favor. They can't go against the emperor's wishes, so they can only make He Jin unlucky.

He Jin didn't publicly resist the order and disrespect, but sent Yuan Shaodong to attack Xu and Yanzhou to show that although he didn't take any action himself, he did make an effort.

Unable to get He Jin out of Luoyang, and without a valid reason, the emperor could only do nothing.

But it doesn't matter, he still has new tricks.

In October of the fifth year of Zhongping, the emperor Yu Ping optimistic about the military parade, calling himself the "Supreme General".

For this move of his father, Liu Bian will no longer think that he is just having a convulsion like in his previous life.

The Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao of the later generations proclaimed himself a general because he really liked military affairs. His "unreliability" was reflected in a series of behaviors before. At least the general named by Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was "Zhu Shou" To be honest, in order to grab the military power of the great general He Jin, it is really enough for the emperor himself to end himself and call himself the "Supreme General".

Perhaps the Son of Heaven had other intentions for proclaiming himself the "Supreme General". We are all bathed in the glory of the Son of Heaven.

However, after the peaceful military parade, the emperor fell seriously ill, which is not so wonderful.

The emperor's military parade was in October, the weather had turned cold, and the wind was strong that day, and although it was not as hot as midsummer, the emperor deliberately put on his armor and stood under the sun for a long time. He caught the wind and unfortunately contracted the disease.

Because of the absurd life of hanging around in the West Garden and ignoring government affairs in the past few years, the emperor's illness recovered very slowly, and in addition to his poor health in recent years, all the princes in the court were quite panicked.

At the beginning of the year, the prince was invited to be appointed, and after the emperor's evaluation of the elder Shi Hou Liu Bian as "frivolous and lacking dignity", the officials settled down.

Although a discerning person can see that the Son of Heaven favors Dong Hou and Liu Xie, but Dong Hou is young, and Shi Hou and Liu Bian are the eldest sons, they cannot support the Son of Heaven's idea due to emotion and reason.

The matter of discussing the reserve was dragged down in this way. In October, after the emperor fell seriously ill again this time, the officials finally couldn't sit still.

It is rare that the current emperor has his own heirs. He does not have to have no heirs like the previous emperors. He has to welcome other clans as emperors. The imperial line of the Han imperial family has been changed repeatedly.

There are only two princes. From the point of view of etiquette, Shihou and Liu Bian should be the heirs. From the perspective of reality, although the emperor prefers Donghou and thinks that the youngest son is smarter than the eldest son, since Shihou recovered from illness, he often went out of the palace. Judging from the situation of making friends with people in Taixue and other places, Shi Hou and Liu Bian have nothing bad in dealing with people. Many people do not agree with the privately circulated emperor's comment on Shihou that he is "frivolous and has no prestige".

If the emperor had to look at the knowledge of the two princes and decide that Shihou who grew up outside the palace is not as good as Donghou who was taught by him in the palace since he was a child, I believe many people would disagree.

Since the inscription of the Xiping Stone Classics, there has been an endless stream of people coming and going to Luoyang Taixue. Recently, in the Taixue, doctors of the Five Classics have also resumed the tradition of giving lectures.

You know, before, due to the scourge of the party's imprisonment, even many normal teaching activities in the Taixue stopped.

Those who can serve as Doctors of the Five Classics in Taixue are famous scholars. Moreover, after the doctoral lectures, there may be some celebrities who do not serve in the imperial court or those who are recognized as good at certain classics will continue to express their opinions, or communicate with each other. debate.

Shi Hou Liu Bian went out of the palace to Taixue one day, just in time for a public lecture.

After the lecture was over, the rest of the audience were mesmerized and praised endlessly, but Shi Hou Liu Bian only published a four-character comment, saying that listening to this lecture was "like a spring breeze".

Although this comment is short, just four words is more than a long paragraph of praise from others.

Moreover, Shi Hou has different identities after all, so it is not good to praise others too much, but it is not good to be too plain, just a few words, and the grasp of the degree is just right.

Celebrities and students of the Han Dynasty said, such a Shihou, Your Majesty, would you say that he is "frivolous" and "not to be the master of others"?

Although everyone knows that you are eccentric, your majesty, you can't show your eccentricity to Dong Hou by excessively belittling Shihou!

The big Han scholars collectively expressed dissatisfaction for Shihou!

The author has something to say: The word Rumu Chunfeng comes from the fourth volume of "Yiluo Yuanyuanlu" by Song Zhuxi: "Zhu Gongzhen saw the Ming Dao in Ruzhou and returned after a month. The speaker said: 'Guangting sat in the spring breeze for a month. '" This sentence means that Zhu Guangting, a disciple of Cheng Hao in the Song Dynasty, was fascinated by listening to the teacher's lectures, so when he returned home, he praised the exquisiteness of the teacher's lectures. He said: "Guangting sat in the spring breeze for a month." The meaning of the idiom is It is a metaphor to get along with and be influenced by people with high moral character and knowledge, and it is like getting along with high-level people.It is a metaphor to be taught or influenced, just like being blown by the spring breeze.

In other words, Liu Bian used allusions from the Song Dynasty to pretend to be a coward in the Han Dynasty.

Well, I can't control my prehistoric power anymore. Orz
