The old cat took out the fan habitually, and tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, "I have heard of such a thing, but I don't remember how many years ago it happened. If it is correct, it should be Huan Ling The period when the Second Emperor was in power." After all, even she couldn't memorize every year name clearly.

So, it began, the legendary old cat tells a story.

The interesting thing about history is that it can often be more dramatic than reality.

"Well, at that time, the eunuchs and relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty were fighting for control of the court, and the emperor sandwiched them to make sandwich biscuits. In the middle and late stages, many emperors did not leave their cubs or the cubs turned up when they were young, so according to the rules, those little kids or Simply a baby is put on the throne, because such an emperor is best controlled.

Then, of course, the queen mother is coming to court. You also know that the illiteracy rate in this era is extremely high. There was a cabinet during the imperial court, and the emperor stayed in the palace for many years without any problems. The empress dowager was short-sighted, so she handed over all matters to her natal family.

However, this little emperor will always grow up, and he will be in charge when he grows up, but he has been a fake emperor for so many years, and now you say oh, I am an adult, so I will replace you, go down, the retirement salary will not drop, All power must be handed over, so of course the foreign relatives will quit, or they will kill those little emperors who may be against them, or like Lu Buwei, Dorgon, Obai, anyway, see for yourself do it.Liang Ji, who loves raising rabbits, is such a 'dominant general'.

In order to regain the ruling power, those emperors had no way to contact the foreign dynasty, so what they trusted most was the eunuch who had been by their side since childhood.Speaking of growing up around such a person, it is probably difficult not to be psychopathic.Relying on the eunuchs to fight back against the power of their relatives, then the control of the entire dynasty was robbed by two factions like rugby.

The later Emperor Huan took power in this way with the help of the eunuchs around him. As the most outstanding heroes, five father-in-laws were granted the title of Marquis, known as the Five Marquis.Then, the world is as black as crows, the relatives are not good, and the eunuch is not a good person.Due to natural physical defects, uh...they took it for granted to make money as soon as they came to power, and installed cronies by the way. What is the specific method? How did Wei Zhongxian do it? like.

At that time, officials from the gentry and students from small and medium-sized landlords certainly looked down on these eunuchs.Because those who will enter the palace to do this line of work have no money at home. Of course, most of them are illiterate, and the ignorant are fearless.After these illiterates came to power, they didn't care about the rise and fall of the country as a whole. After all, one person attained the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven, and all the seven aunts and eight aunts of the family came out to find an official.Have you never seen so much money in your life? Compared with officials from the gentry, the corruption is even more unrestrained.

Literary people at the time could not understand such a shameless behavior. At that time, Taiwei Chen Fan and Sili Xiaowei Li Ying were representatives of them.Li Ying first killed the brother of Zhang Rang, who was corrupt and perverted the law. This incident was very satisfying. Scholars at that time called being received by Li Ying as "climbing the dragon's gate". When he said this, the old cat paused and glanced at Guo San, who showed a proud and nostalgic look.

The old cat didn't say much, and continued: "Later, he offended an alchemist who was friends with the eunuch Hou Lan (the kind of guy who concocted alchemy and swindled money). This guy got the news that he would be amnesty tomorrow, so he encouraged his son to kill him today. After the amnesty decree came down, he said very aggressively, I think he dare not let him go. Li Ying got angry when he found out, and immediately cut off his son's head for fun. As a result, he offended people and was voted The eunuch sued the emperor, saying that he had formed a party with Tai students and celebrities, slandered the court, and corrupted public morals.

You also know that when the emperor has been in office for a long time, he will lose his mind... ah... Well, it has been like this throughout history, and he immediately pulled a blacklist and put hundreds of people on the wanted list.

As for Du Mi, like Li Ying, he was an official who dared to fight against eunuchs. The two had similar reputations, and they were collectively called "Li Du" by the people at that time.The emperor wanted to issue a warrant, but Taiwei Chen Fan refused to do so. The current NC of Emperor Huan did not go through the judicial process and was directly interrogated by the eunuch's agency, and a torture called "three woods" was used.Fortunately, Li Ying knew how to use offense as defense, and confessed the names of many eunuchs' children, scaring these eunuchs to trick Emperor Huan into amnesty for the world, but he called the people on the blacklist "partisans" and demanded that they be imprisoned for life and not be allowed to be officials .

Later, Emperor Huan passed away, and Emperor Ling took up his post. Originally, these gangsters wanted to use the brothers of Empress Dowager Dou to kill eunuchs, but the scholars rebelled and failed in ten years.Before the horoscope was written, the news leaked out, allowing the eunuchs to seize the opportunity to catch them all.Basically, anyone whose name could be called was ransacked.As long as Li Ying was labeled as a rebel, Li Ying was tortured to death, and Du Mi committed suicide before that. All party members' protégés, fathers, sons and brothers were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and the five clans were punished. This is the second party imprisonment .That's probably how things went. "

The old cat took a deep breath, and then finished the story. It seemed very long, but it was just another piece of history that was repeated again and again, so it was not surprising.

"You actually know!" Guo San was obviously very surprised that even the details were clear. Under the oppression, few people in the new generation remember this past event, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of those who were involved in the past have withered. So many people still remember those loyal ministers and righteous men who risked their lives for this dynasty , how many people still remember to avenge their injustice?

"Master Liu, what is your identity and why do you know that period of the past so clearly? It is completely different from the official version of the rebellious officials and thieves. What the old cat provided is a basically correct version left over from history. In his eyes, the meaning is different. Those who know the truth are either those who have experienced it personally, or the bereaved families of those people. The old cat knows so clearly, and the identity of "him" becomes more and more mysterious.

"What is your identity? You should go back and ask your master Feng Xiao." After the old cat kicked the ball, he directly paid attention to Tang Mao's reaction, "Tang, what do you think?"

"And then?" Tangmao turned his head with a dull expression, and asked what happened next with a calm face.

"What? Then, the records in the book only end here, and I haven't had time to read the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty". Next time, you can break it down by yourself." The old cat felt that it was a waste of time and effort to change such a reaction, and suddenly felt hit. .

After glancing at Guo San and Guo Si with uncertain faces, the old cat went on to say, "If we follow the general laws of historical development, I can infer one or two, anyway, there are only a few ways of development. After a loyal minister was framed, if it was a big fish, most of them ransacked the house for the crime of 'disrespect', and then either left the pregnant mother who happened to be away, or returned to her mother's house and escaped the catastrophe. Teach children to take revenge, or keep their names incognito, and only tell their sons when they know they are about to die, ah, your father is a loyal minister, you have to avenge him.

Either the loyal old servant escaped with the young master and worked hard to grow up, or there was some plot of swindling, and his own child was handed over to be killed instead of the young master, and then kept a little bit of the master's family. Incense, until the little master becomes an adult, is mixed with hatred, and it is inevitable to instill all kinds of twisted and complicated theories.

If it is said that those who did not die immediately and were confiscated as servants, according to the law, the fruits of slaves are also the property of the master's family, so they are still lowly. These are the general development methods. Which one do you want? "History is always repeated in the process of development, and revenge stories often follow similar routines. Chapters that can be skipped while yawning while reading a book, in this time and space, become terrifyingly omniscient.

Tangmao frowned, "Why do you think it sounds like the beginning of a certain martial arts or fantasy book?" Feeling that such a story was too familiar, she expressed dissatisfaction with Lao Mao's pen Yingying, but only when she noticed After Guo San and Guo Si seemed to see the strange expression of something rising in the sun in front of them, they asked: "Ah Si, don't you tell me that the old cat is right?" The typical beginning of a small person growing into a big bastard, she can guess the next story even with her eyes closed.Tragic life experience, mediocre identity, noble blood, the main theme is revenge, and when the time comes, the old friends of the parents or the old department who jump out every now and then will come out to add a status halo to the pig's feet, and open a cheat if necessary. Protagonist mode, belittle the IQ of the gorgeous villain BOSS, and finally carry the beauty home to farm smoothly, and a hot novel is just like that.If you are interested, you can also have a love-hate entanglement with the enemy's daughter, but considering that the other party is a eunuch now, you have to give up.

It seems that the eyes that can see through everything, all the secrets can't be hidden in front of "them". During the previous investigation, Guo Si had a vague feeling that everything they did in private could not be hidden from these two cats Eyes, only because they did not touch the bottom line, so they can live in peace.If once the limit is exceeded, wait for their consequences...

Now, except for those terms with unknown meanings mixed in, everything that "Liu Yong" said is exactly the same as the real experience, as if he saw it with his own eyes.The fear arising from the bottom of their hearts seized the hearts of the two of them like a nightmare. Only then did they truly realize that Guo Jia's importance to "them" was not only based on the ability to make money that day. .

A dry voice sounded after hesitation, "You know everything? What do you want to do now, arrest us and ask the court for credit?" If this is the answer, even if you are sorry for Master Fengxiao's entrustment, that is the only way to go.Guo Si's nerves were tense.

"If you know everything, tell me quickly, how can we get revenge! How can we get revenge for my family!" At the same moment, Guo San couldn't help the ups and downs of his mood, and actually affirmed the old cat's guesses, maybe it was revenge The thought came too strongly, perhaps because he has been well protected all these years, at this moment, he has not shown the forbearance of being a bloody enemy at all.

"Theoretically speaking, this case seems to have passed the deadline for appeal?" Lao Mao unscrupulously cosplayed a professional, "But China has always pursued substantive justice, so it's not a big problem." It's just what she threw out Neither of them could understand any nouns.

"What does your matter have anything to do with us?" Tangmao's light words instantly dispelled Guo Si's hostility. As long as their affairs do not infringe on their interests, she doesn't need to cry even if they shake the world. Come to a piece of Bao Qingtian Legend to waste this effort.

"It's just a victim of the power struggle. Even if the eunuchs are overthrown, if they don't like the dictatorship of their relatives, they will have to sue. It's just a matter of time." The context of this historical development may be the clearest, but what is hidden in it Human feelings and subtleties are still clearly seen by Sugar Cat. "As for revenge, who do you want to seek? Those eunuchs at that time were slaughtered when Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, and of course there will be no descendants. So, are your enemies their minions? Or Shilin who stood by and watched?" ? Or the ignorant people who were deceived and insensitive? ——or,” Tangmao paused, and asked slowly, “is the Emperor of Han who indulged them and personally ordered the execution of your ancestors?”

Every sentence is heartbreaking, and every sentence makes the faces of the two humanoid creatures present turn pale. At the end of the question, the contrast between the gentle and kind smile and the cold and biting question became a breakthrough. The most effective weapon for their psychological defense.It took Guo Sanhao a long time to hold back a sentence, "You are so brave, this is disrespectful!" It seemed that he wanted to restore his momentum.

"Hmph..." The old cat raised the corners of its mouth, "They also sentenced your grandfather to death for such a crime at the beginning, so they ransacked the house by the way? Then, what did he do related to treason? Until now Have you not given up hope in them yet?"

Guo Si stopped Guo San, it seemed that he had a better understanding of the real situation, especially after meeting Xun Yu today. "If there is a way to clear up the grievances of the ancestors, the villain is willing to be an ox and a horse to repay Young Master Liu's kindness." Even the Xun family, who had a certain relationship with their ancestors, did not take the initiative to raise this matter. The hope he was full of was extinguished. If he could find another way, he would be willing to pay no matter how much it cost.

"Excuse me." The old cat waved his folding fan and refused, "You are the master of Jijiu, how dare you call you a cow and a horse, just stop giving me a hard time. It's not difficult to reverse the case, the key is you You can ask Lord Fengxiao to find an opportunity to persuade Lord Sikong to overturn the verdict for the party members. If you are interested, let the emperor issue a criminal edict. Anyway, he is in his hands. The reason? You can let the scholars of the world return to their hearts, and you can draw a line between him and the minions of the five princes. Isn’t it that some people will call him a remnant of eunuchs? This is also good for his reputation. It can improve his reputation virtually. There are ten similar reasons, and he knows better than me how to put it mildly." The old cat looked at the stunned Guo San and Guo Si, as if they were talking about something funny.

"Oh, by the way, if you want to report it, it seems that you will be charged with a higher crime. You can decide for yourself." At the end, before leaving the banquet, the old cat seemed to add this sentence casually, but the warning in it was very serious. strong.

Note: According to history, after Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, he personally rectified the names of party members and offered sacrifices publicly.So there are no pure villains.However, for the sake of the progress of the plot, it is still temporarily treated as if the case has not been reversed.

The author has something to say: OMG, it's so late again, I went to bed.

Those who have seen it, pat your paws and take a dip, there is no Concubine Yu here, and there is no need for Bawang.
