When Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still alive, he had great trust in Zhang Rang and others.
That period was also the most glorious moment in the lives of these great eunuchs.
The majestic emperor actually called a eunuch "Rangfu" (which means father)!
Simply unbelievable!
One can imagine the power of Zhang Rang, the chief minister of Zhongchang.
"When the late Emperor was here, our lives were much easier!"
Zhao Zhong sighed.
Emperor Ling obeyed their advice and even handed over control of the entire Luoyang Forbidden Army to them.
Now that Liu Bian has ascended the throne, he mainly listens to the Empress Dowager He and relies heavily on He Jin.
Maybe after losing their holy family, these eunuchs felt a crisis in their hearts and felt no sense of security.
Zhang Rang narrowed his fish eyes and said in a sinister voice: "What about the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family? The key now is to control the military power. As long as we can control the military power, we will have enough power. What can He Jin do to me?"
"Wonderful!"
"Why didn't I think of this?"
"Thank you, boss!"
The sound of flattery is like the rising and falling of the tide.
Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said with a worried expression:
"Hmph, the late emperor called our family daddy. Whoever dares to scheme against our family will sooner or later be killed without a burial place!"
"As expected, Changshi Zhang has a keen eye. Today, I have something important to report!"
The eunuch under his command gave him a small flattery, and Zhang Rang nodded gratefully and said, "What's the matter, but it doesn't matter if you say it?"
The eunuch continued: "According to my careful investigation, I discovered another secret!"
Zhao Zhong snorted coldly and said: "Xiao Guizi, if you have anything to say, just say it. If you talk nonsense, we will skin you if we don't!"
Zhao Zhong was usually very cruel to his servants. The young eunuch couldn't help but tremble, fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice:
"Wang Zhonglang recommended a talent to the Queen Mother a few days ago. It is said that he is a disciple of the great scholar Cai Yong. People in Luoyang have spread the news that this person is a rare talent seen in a century, comparable to Guan Zhong and Lu Shang!"
"What kind of unicorn talent is there? There is such a person?"
"Lu Shang, what kind of person is Guan Zhong? He was probably promoted by those Confucian officials!"
"Xiao Guizi, you're not bragging, are you?"
Among the ten permanent servants, several eunuchs looked astonished and doubtful.
They have lived in the palace for a long time, only paying attention to the power struggle, and not paying much attention to what happens outside.
"A few days ago, this man had a conflict with Wei Zhongdao in Luoyang City. He even wrote a poem in seven steps during the meeting between the Confucian scholars, which shocked the Confucian scholars. After asking for a lot of time, I will never dare to make up false news. Please be aware of this, adults!
"
The little eunuch named Xiao Guizi moved his eyes, bowed and said: "I can see clearly today that this person entered the palace with Mr. Wang Yun, and they were talking and laughing on the way. It seems that the relationship between the two is very good.
."
Xiao Guizi smiled apologetically and added: "I heard that this Liu Hao has an extraordinary background. He was the queen of King Yi of Jiangdu!"
When this identity was revealed, the eunuchs couldn't help but sit up straight.
No matter how you say it, people with the surname Liu after Gaozu will always be half of their masters.
Zhao Zhong twisted his body, frowned and said: "How can there be so many Han clan clansmen? They are not fake, right?"
"Whether it's true or not, you can actually ask Wang Yun, an old fox, to treat you like this? By the way, what's your name?"
Zhang Rang raised his eyebrows.
The little eunuch said flatteringly: "This man's name is...Liu Hao!"
Liu Hao?
"Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Zhao Zhong touched his bald head and was thinking hard.
"I remembered it! The boy named Wei Zhongdao from the Wei family in Hedong seems to have come to pay filial piety and asked our family to deal with Liu Hao."
Zhao Zhong slapped his forehead and finally remembered this incident.
"How much did I give you?"
"It's not much, just six hundred gold!"
Zhao Zhong laughed happily.
One gold can be exchanged for almost 20,000 yuan at that time!
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was in Jiuqing, but because of his official addiction, he spent ten thousand gold to buy a Taiwei Dangdang.
Being able to take out 600 gold in one go can definitely be considered a big deal!
Why don't you give this to me?
Several eunuchs looked at Zhao Zhong with jealousy, and at the same time they were even more curious about Liu Hao.
Someone who can make Wei spend a lot of money to deal with him is definitely not a simple person.
Otherwise, Wei Zhongdao had too much money and burned it, and he begged all the way to Shi Changshi, who covered the sky with his hands.
"It seems that this Liu Hao must have something extraordinary..."
Zhang Rang was thoughtful, waved his hand and said:
"Our family is becoming more and more interested in him. Go and recruit him and let us see what kind of person he is, who can actually stir up trouble in Luoyang City!" …
