Three Kingdoms Guo Jia's growth diary

After all, Liu Hong is just a 12-year-old child, far away from his hometown and relatives and friends, and often depressed.In June, Zhang Rang presented four solid-colored little donkeys to relieve Liu Hong's boredom.

As a result, a strange scene appeared outside the Wende Hall of the imperial palace: Liu Hong drove a small cart pulled by a donkey, galloping between the towers of the palace.On the car was a little black dog wearing an imperial crown and a civil servant's robe.The Zhongchang servants Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong led a dozen or so little yellow men, chasing after the donkey cart and trotting all the way.

Looking at the billowing smoke and dust raised by the donkey cart, Guo Xi sincerely thanked Master Xun of Yingchuan Academy.Thanks to Xun Fuzi's strict teaching, students are required to master the six arts of a gentleman: rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics.Among them, "royalty" means driving, mainly learning to ride a horse and drive a car.Otherwise, what would he, Guo Taifu, teach Liu Hong to drive a donkey cart?

In August, both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty lost confidence in the little emperor who put on dogs in official uniforms and humiliated his ministers.

Guo Xi successfully transformed from a hateful court official who liked to torture others' inner secrets to a kind servant who told anecdotes every day to amuse the little emperor.

Dou Wu despises this little emperor who knows how to play besides playing, and he relaxes the supervision of Liu Hong a lot.

The infighting between foreign relatives and eunuchs became more and more dangerous, and the undercurrents inside and outside the court were turbulent.Xun Yu persuaded Dou Wu to kill the eunuch as soon as possible, otherwise there might be more changes.However, Dou Wu's old problem of hesitation and overthinking was repeated, and he dared not take any action.

In September, because Dou Wu clamored to kill the eunuchs every day, but always held up the butcher's knife and refused to cut them down, the eunuchs who were tortured by fear and anxiety for a long time and were on the verge of collapse finally broke out collectively and vowed to concentrate their efforts on killing Dou Wu. .

Cao Jie took advantage of the time when Dou Wu went out of the palace to return to his residence, and coaxed the little emperor Liu Hong to order the palace gates to be closed and the imperial city blocked.

Wang Fu led people to kidnap Empress Dowager Dou, snatched the seal, forged an imperial edict, and ordered Dou Wu to be arrested in the name of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Tai Fu Chen Fan learned that the Queen Mother was under the control of others, and he was in chaos.He rushed into the palace with his staff and dozens of disciples to rescue him, but was beaten to death by a group of young eunuchs outside the Shangshu Gate.More than 80 people who followed Chen Fan into the palace to rescue him were all killed.

Of course Dou Wu refused to be captured without a fight. He shot and killed the Xiaohuangmen who came to pass the edict with one arrow, galloped his horse, and fled into the infantry captain's camp in charge of his nephew Dou Shao.

This infantry battalion, together with the Changshui battalion, the Shesheng battalion, the Tunqi battalion, and the Yueqi battalion, is collectively known as the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.The Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army is responsible for the defense of the capital and is the main force defending Luoyang City.

In the current chaos, whoever controls the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army will dominate the life and death of the entire capital.

This time, the eunuchs panicked.If Dou Wu gathers the troops of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army and leads the troops to kill them, they will not be enough to warm up the rogue soldiers.

Cao Jie called on everyone to defend the imperial city and fight Dou Wu desperately.

Zhang Rang proposed to take the little emperor hostage and flee as far as he could.

There are already eunuchs busy looting property and preparing to scatter.

At the critical moment, there was a crisp sound, and everyone turned their heads to look, but it was Wang Fu who slapped Zhang Rang heavily, "Everyone wants to die, and the miscellaneous family will not stop you. The Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army is not Dou Wu's private soldiers, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army are loyal to the emperor, not the general. Dou Wu's private deployment of troops is treason! Those who don't want to die can come with me to escort them."

So led by Wang Fu and Cao Jie, a group of people cried and threw themselves at the feet of the little emperor Liu Hong, claiming that Dou Wu had joined forces to rebel and wanted to abolish the current emperor Liu Hong.

Liu Hong's face turned pale with fright.

The eunuchs seized the opportunity to show their loyalty and vowed to escort him even if they risked their lives. The old man Dou Wu wanted to murder the emperor unless he stepped on the corpse of the old slave.

Liu Hong was moved to tears.Just when he was at a loss, Wang Fu proposed: Except for the infantry captain battalion led by the traitor Dou Shao, the other soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army are His Majesty's soldiers and horses, and they should still be loyal to His Majesty. Soldiers and horses protect the holy driver, and crusade against the traitors Dou Wu and Dou Shao.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the entire capital became a mess.

In the chaos, no one noticed that Guo Xi drove straight to the outside of Luoyang City.

That night, the Huben Army, Yulin Army, Changshui, Shesheng, Tunqi, and Yueqi Xiaowei Battalion jointly attacked Dou Wu.

Zhang Huan, the general of the guard of the Huns, defeated the triumphant squadron of the Qiang people. Not long after he arrived in Luoyang, he accepted the imperial edict to suppress the rebellion in a daze, and led his army to attack the general Dou Wu.

Zhang Huan is an excellent commander. He commanded all kinds of troops to besiege Dou Wu step by step.They also specially organized a group of soldiers with loud voices to shout to the people in the encirclement: "Dou Wu rebelled, you are all forbidden soldiers, you should defend the palace, why do you follow a rebel? Surrender can be forgiven, and those who surrender first will be rewarded. "

The siege lasted all night, and more than half of the soldiers from the Infantry Colonel's Battalion fled, and many surrendered.Dou Shao died in battle, and Dou Wu drew his sword and killed himself amidst the siege.

Empress Dowager Dou was placed under house arrest in Yuntai.

Overnight, the Dou family's children, their in-laws, guests, and confidantes all suffered the catastrophe of extermination, and as many as ten thousand people were implicated and died, and the blood in Luoyang City was long.Only Dou Wu's two-year-old grandson, Dou Fu, was rescued by Hu Teng and survived.

Wang Fu listened to the report from his confidant Xiao Huangmen, and said with a sneer, "The whole city is under martial law, Hu Teng, a weak and weak Confucian scholar with a two-year-old child, can escape from Luoyang with a two-year-old child, who are you kidding?" Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Huangmen trembled tremblingly, and stumbled when he spoke: "Yes, there are people... to meet them, these people are very fierce, not afraid of death, like trained rangers."

Hu Teng was indeed escorted out of Luoyang City by mysterious knights, but after the group of them fled half a circle around the outskirts of the city, he was dressed as a groom and drove Guo Xi's carriage back to Luoyang City.Only two empty cars continued northward, choosing different directions at the fork in the road.

It's a pity that Wang Fu sent a lot of people to hunt down Hu Teng, and the checks at various passes were more stringent, but he didn't expect that Hu Teng would sneak back and hide under his nose.

It turned out that on the day when the incident happened, the palace gate was closed ahead of schedule before the prescribed hour.Guo Xi smelled a hint of conspiracy, and immediately sent someone to look for Xun Yu, but he didn't find anyone, so he didn't dare to delay, so he sent his wife, children, and Xun Shuang away first.On the way back, I happened to bump into Hu Teng running for his life, so I helped him by the way.

Hu Teng is a smart man, so he didn't ask any more questions.A family like the Yangzhai Guo family who has been in charge of the Yanwei Mansion for hundreds of years mostly offends big shots, and most of them face vicious criminals, so they are easily retaliated against.For the sake of personal safety, it is very necessary to secretly raise some rangers and cultivate some hidden forces to guard them at all times.

After a few months, the news gradually subsided, and with the help of Guo Xi and Ling Shi Zhangchang, Hu Teng fled to Lingling, falsely claiming that Dou Fu was his son Hu Fu, and raised Dou Fu.

It was originally a situation where two tigers were fighting, but now that the relatives are gone, the eunuch's family dominates, and there is a tendency to cover the sky with one hand.

Especially Wang Fu, at a critical juncture, Wang Fu's wit and courage made him replace Cao Jie as the No. 1 eunuch.The spoils of war are the supreme power, as long as you serve the little emperor well, you can kill whoever you want, and toss whoever you want.

Wang Fu thought in his mind: The first one to kill is of course Li Ying.That self-righteous gentleman used to rely on the late emperor's favor to oppose our family everywhere. Our family has been unhappy with you for a long time!There are also Xun Yu and Xun Shuang, the big tree of the Dou family has been uprooted, and those who hide under the tree and do things, naturally cannot be let go.

In addition to killing people to establish prestige, we also have to recruit some officials with winks and abilities to work for our family. For example, Zhang Huan, the guard of the Huns who forced Dou Wu to commit suicide, is really a genius.And Wenren Gong, who helped draft the purpose, is also good.

So Li Ying, Xun Yu, Xun Tan and others were dismissed from office.

I heard that Gong Guan worshiped the Taiwei.

Zhang Huan worshiped Da Si Nong as an official, and was granted the title of Marquis for his meritorious service.Until then, Master Zhang Huan, who was almost drowned by spitting, came to his senses: he was tricked by the eunuch, the Queen Mother's decree was fake, and there might be something wrong with the imperial decree

Zhang Huan thought he was on the side of the scholar-bureaucrats, but accidentally became an accomplice of the eunuch, and accidentally became the knife that "borrowed a knife to kill". Whispering voices, couldn't hear a word clearly, but could feel the mocking tone.

There are no people inside and outside, Zhang Huan is extremely heartbroken.He wrote a letter of resignation, refusing to be named Marquis.

It is said that in April of the second year of Jianning, the little emperor Liu Hong called all civil and military officials to discuss matters in Wende Hall.Just as Liu Hong sat down (kneeling), the mat hadn’t been warmed yet, when a gust of wind suddenly rose from the corner of the hall, accompanied by the howling cold draft, a green snake flew down from the beam. Macro feet.I saw the green snake raised its head and spit out the letter, as if it wanted to choose someone to eat.

There was a sudden commotion in the hall, and Liu Hong was frightened. When he tried to escape, he stepped on the ground and fell down the imperial steps.

Several eunuchs hurriedly lifted Liu Hong to the harem.All civil and military officials were left looking at each other.

After a while, the green snake disappeared, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky. First there was heavy rain, and at night, the wind and rain gradually engulfed in hail.The strong wind uprooted the towering trees, and also turned the hailstones that fell from the sky into terrifying ice bombs flying down at extremely high speeds, smashing houses and injuring countless people and animals.

The next day, Zhang Yang went to the Shu, starting with the hail disaster, and complaining for Dou Wu and Chen Fan.

In the shadow of Wang Fu and other great eunuchs who controlled the government, the result of the discussion among the officials was: Taiwei ruled the sky, Sikong ruled the land, and Situ mastered.Therefore, the celestial phenomenon is abnormal, the sun, moon and stars are out of order, and the responsibility for frequent natural disasters lies with the Taiwei.The landslides and waters are exhausted, and the five grains and six animals are not prosperous. The responsibility lies with Sikong.The disharmony between the monarch and his ministers, the resentment of the people, and the ubiquity of national thieves are responsible for Situ.

Of course, this method of pursuing responsibility is not fabricated out of thin air, and there are old examples to follow.

Taiwei Wenren Gong, who suddenly found out that the hailstorm had something to do with him, stood in the court hall with a dazed look on his face.

Zhang Huan was deprived of military power, moved to Taichang, and fined three months of salary.The reputation of being trampled in the muck has come back a bit.

In May of the second year of Jianning, Taiwei Wenren Gong was dismissed.

Zhang Huan wrote again, recommending Li Ying as Taiwei.

Wang Fu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and uncovered Li Ying's old case.Zhongchang's servant Lan made it worse and reported that Zhang Jian, a fugitive wanted criminal, and celebrities such as Li Ying and Xun Yu had colluded with each other with evil intentions.Several officials were involved.

In order to stabilize the situation, Liu Chong, an official from the clan, served as the Taiwei.

In October of the second year of Jianning (AD 169), Liu Hong ordered the arrest of those involved.

Li Ying and Xun Yu were tortured to death in Beisi Prison.More than 700 scholars were implicated, either executed, imprisoned, exiled, or dismissed.The Tai students who called out for them were also arrested one after another, and the leader of the Tai students, He Yong, a famous scholar in Nanyang, fled.

Zhang Huan was demoted as a commoner and never hired.

Xun Tan was imprisoned for life.Xun Shuang became a wanted fugitive.The officials searched everywhere but couldn't find Xun Shuang. No one knew when he escaped and where he was hiding?

"Three Monarchs", "Ba Jun", "Ba Gu", "Ba Ji" and other scholar leaders, all of them became wanted criminals.All their clan members and disciples were imprisoned and deprived of political rights for life.

Some people deliberately framed their enemies, or implicated their disliked colleagues in prison, because of a small holiday, their families were ruined.

Everyone in the court is in danger.

Wang Fu specially sent a small Huangmen to tell Guo Xi the news that Xun Yu had "died of a sudden illness" in Beisi Prison.

Guo Xi's face was normal when he heard this, but he secretly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.For the next period of time, as usual, he should face up and listen to music.It's just that the time spent alone in the study is slightly longer than before.

As soon as Wang Fu saw this guy surnamed Guo, he became angry. He spent some time finding a few soft bones who could not withstand the severe punishment to come forward and bite Guo Xi, identifying Guo Xi as Li Ying's accomplice.When the guards in Beisi Prison received the order to go to the Guo Mansion to fetch the man, they were shocked to find that the man had already been taken away by his colleagues.It is said that Cao Jierang was arrested, and he is currently eating in prison in Tingweizhao Prison.

Wang Fu went to find out about Cao Jie, and it happened that Cao Jie was counting the money, and his eyes were narrowed with a smile, "Oh, you mean that Guo Taifu? He gave me a whole carload of money, plus many rare treasures. I don’t want to be promoted, nor to eliminate disasters, but I just want to be locked in Tingweizhao Prison when I’m in prison, not to go to Beisi Prison, and not to go to Shangshu Prison.”
