Somewhat different from Luo Yang's imagination, the process of deceiving Guo Jia was extremely smooth, which made Luo Yang couldn't help but wonder again whether this little drunkard was the shrewd ghost-like genius Guo Jia in history. After returning to Chu Mansion, Luo Yang found someone
After helping Guo Jia arrange a place to live, he went to rest with him. After successfully deceiving the top advisers around Cao Cao in the future, Luo Yang's mood also became very good, so he slept very soundly.
The next day, according to the previous plan, Chu Gong took Luo Yang to the official residence of Shangshutai to find Lu Zhi. Although Chu Gong had heard about the boy Luo Yang brought back last night, he did not say anything about it.
What opinions does Luo Yang have? In just two months in Nanyang, Chu Gong already knew that Luo Yang would never mess around. Anyway, it was just an extra mouth to eat. To Chu Gong, this was nothing.
The Shangshutai, as the real power institution of the Eastern Han Dynasty, can be said to control the political power of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. It is the summary of government affairs across the country. The previous person in charge of the Shangshutai was Lu Zhi, who Chu Gong and Luo Yang were looking for, but last time
Lu Zhi was framed by Zuo Feng. Although he was later rehabilitated, his official position as Minister of the Secretariat was gone and he could only serve as Minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat.
But even so, Lu Zhi's name is very important in the Chancery. Chu Gong and Luo Yang mentioned Lu Zhi's name at the door of the official residence, and the sergeant guarding the door immediately welcomed them in. In the living room
After waiting for a moment, a hearty laughter was heard. Lu Zhi walked in with a cheerful face, raised his hands to Chu Gong and Luo Yang and said, "Master Chu! Zihui! You are well!"
Chu Gong had already met Lu Zhi when he was transferred to Luoyang that day. However, Luo Yang saw Lu Zhi for the first time since the last farewell at the Nanyang County Sheriff's Mansion. Lu Zhi is now wearing
The official robe no longer looked as embarrassed as before, and looked very majestic. Seeing Lu Zhi's appearance, Luo Yang also smiled and saluted Lu Zhi with fists, and said: "I will pay my respects to Master Lu!" And Chu Gong also did the same.
He also saluted Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi quickly helped the two of them up and made an invitation gesture. The three of them sat down in order in the living room. After greeting for a while, Lu Zhi smiled and said to Luo Yang: "Zihui! I just came from yesterday.
Mr. Chu learned that you were summoned to Luoyang, but unfortunately I was busy with official duties yesterday and could not come to Mr. Chu's house to greet you. You must not blame me!"
"How dare you!" Although he knew that Lu Zhi was speaking politely, Luo Yang still stood up to thank him and said: "The general is relieved that Mr. Lu is safe and sound. I should have gone to your residence to express my congratulations.
That's right!" After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Luo Yang knew that he was framed by Zuo Feng. Lu Zhi probably didn't know yet. Then Luo Yang turned to look at Chu Gong, but he didn't know how to explain to Lu Zhi next.
.
Chu Gong simply said to Lu Zhi bluntly: "Master Lu! In fact, we came to see you this time just because Zi Hui was called to Luoyang this time, so we came to see you for help!" Then,
Chu Gong just told Zuo Feng how to frame Luo Yang. Yesterday, he first came to Lu Zhi to learn about Luo Yang's edict, and then went to other places to learn the truth of the matter, so Lu Zhi really didn't know.
The truth of the matter.
In fact, the reason why Chu Gong told Lu Zhi so directly was because Lu Zhi himself had been framed by Zuo Feng, and Lu Zhi was a representative of the court party. Strictly speaking, as Chu Gong was a scholar, then
They were also close to the party members. The party members and the eunuchs were two completely irreconcilable factions during this period. Chu Gong had nothing to worry about, so he told Lu Zhi so straightforwardly.
Sure enough, after hearing Chu Gong tell the whole story, Lu Zhi's face turned livid. When he slapped the table in front of him so hard, even the teacup on the table was knocked over. Lu Zhi
He said bitterly: "It's these despicable and shameless eunuchs again! Apart from framing good people and bringing trouble to the court, what else can they do!"
Chu Gong also said angrily: "This Zuo Feng is a member of Zhang Rang's party! After his frame-up of Lord Lu was exposed, he relied on Zhang Rang and others to cover it up and escaped. How could he have known that he
You don’t even know how to repent! How dare you make trouble like this!”
After hearing Chu Gong's words, Lu Zhi's face became more and more ugly. Finally, he knew that this was the official residence of Shangshutai, not his own house. It was inevitable that the walls had ears. Lu Zhi took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to Luo Yang.
Said: "Don't worry, Zihui! I'm here! I don't believe it anymore! This court is not something that these eunuchs can do arbitrarily! I will take you to see the general later! As long as the general speaks, then
Zuo Feng, the eunuch, is determined not to do anything to you!"
Luo Yang came to Lu Zhi today, in fact, just because of Lu Zhi's words. Luo Yang immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi waved his hand, indicating that Luo Yang did not need to be polite, and Chu Gong also breathed a sigh of relief.
With Lu Zhi's words, the matter was basically settled. But thinking that a few of them had been made so nervous by a eunuch from Zuo Feng, they were still aggrieved. Even though they said to Lu Zhi: "Master Lu! This eunuch
Taking power is a disaster! Since the general has the military power in the world, why not cut off Zhang Rang's people to avoid future troubles?"
Hearing what Chu Gong said, Lu Zhi's expression changed, and he quickly made a silent gesture, then walked quickly to the door of the hall, looking at the door with a vigilant face, making sure that no one was there.
Then he turned around and said to Chu Gong: "Master Chu! These words should not be passed lightly! Alas! In fact, we don't want to eliminate the scourge of eunuchs! However, your majesty favors Zhang Rang and others. In the past, General Dou Wu and Chen Fan conspired to kill him.
If you kill the eunuch, you will harm him! You must not be careless when it comes to raping someone!"
What Lu Zhi said was that when Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, General Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan were ministers of the auxiliary state, while the eunuch Cao Jie and others at that time had exclusive power. Dou Wu and Chen Fan were conspiring to forge a strategic alliance.
They eliminated the authoritarian eunuchs such as Cao Jie, but they did not expect that the secret would be leaked and Cao Jie and others learned about it. As a result, they acted preemptively and kidnapped Liu Hong, and then deceived Liu Hong's will and ordered all the soldiers in the palace to do so.
Ma surrounded and suppressed Dou Wu and Chen Fan's army of traitors. As a result, Dou Wu and Chen Fan were defeated, Chen Fan was killed, and Dou Wu committed suicide, ending in a tragic end.
Hearing Lu Zhi mention the lessons learned from Dou Wu and Chen Fan, Chu Gong stopped talking, but his face was still aggrieved. Lu Zhi suddenly smiled and said: "Master Chu, there is no need to be like this, the situation is already very good now."
, through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the general has regained control of the military! And His Majesty has also begun to re-activate party members! I believe those eunuchs will not be better for long! "
Luo Yang, who was standing by, disagreed with Lu Zhi's words. According to historical records, He Jinwumu relied on his sister's nepotism to reach the high position of general. He himself had no ability at all.
.Although as Lu Zhi said, taking advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, He Jin gradually took control of the military, he was still undecided on the matter of cutting off the power of the eunuchs. In the end, he was defeated by Zhang Rang and other ten people.
Chang Shi was killed. Of course, Luo Yang would not say these things. He just sat silently and did not speak, letting Lu Zhi and Chu Gong be immersed in the dreams they weaved.
After talking for a while, Lu Zhi finally remembered that he wanted to introduce Luo Yang to He Jin. He quickly patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Oh! Look at my brain, how can I forget about business! Let's go!"
Let's go to the General's Mansion now! The General will still give me my face, so Zi Hui needn't worry!" With that said, Lu Zhi took Luo Yang with one hand and Chu Gong with the other, and walked straight out of the living room.
Walking towards the gate of the official residence.
Although Lu Zhi is no longer the leader of the Chancery, his reputation is there. There are so many people coming and going in the official residence, and no one dares to say anything.
After leaving the official residence, Lu Zhi just made a gesture, and the sergeants on guard immediately brought three mounts for Lu Zhi and others from the stable next to them. Luo Yang and Chu Gong were also considered to have benefited from Lu Zhi's favor.
There was an extra mount. The three of them got on their horses and, under the leadership of Lu Zhi, ran directly towards the General's Mansion next to the palace.
With the help of the mounts, the speed of the three people was naturally much faster, and they arrived at the General's Mansion in a blink of an eye. When they arrived at the gate, Lu Zhi, Luo Yang and Chu Gong dismounted directly, and those who were at the gate of the General's Mansion
The sergeant on guard saw Lu Zhi coming, and hurriedly rushed over to take the reins of Lu Zhi's mount. Lu Zhi asked calmly: "Is the general at home today?"
One of the sergeants quickly and respectfully replied: "In reply to Mr. Lu! The general is at his house today! It's just that the general and several generals had a party last night and drank a lot, so they haven't gotten up yet!"
Lu Zhi nodded, but did not say anything more. In fact, even if he asked more questions, soldiers like these would not know more information. Immediately, Lu Zhi took Luo Yang and Chu Gong directly.
People walked into the General's Mansion. With Lu Zhi's status and reputation, and even He Jin's great respect for Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi didn't need to be informed like others in the General's Mansion.
After entering the General's Mansion, Lu Zhi followed the familiar path and led the two of them directly towards the living room of the mansion. He Jin is now the most important minister in the court, and his mansion is comparable to the palace, very luxurious and luxurious.
, This was the first time for Luo Yang and Chu Gong to enter the General's Mansion, and they could not help but be stunned by the luxurious decorations in the mansion.
"Is it you? How dare you come here!" Just as Luo Yang and Chu Gong looked at their surroundings in surprise, an angry shout suddenly sounded.
