Chapter 5 My name is Liu Zhang and my courtesy name is Ji Yu()
After the angel entered the hall, the prefect immediately knelt down! The angel was very satisfied with the behavior of the prefect, took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms, unfolded it and read: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Liu Yan, the prefect of Nanyang, is self-denial and serves the public affairs. He served as prefect to appease the people.
You have worked hard and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. I am hereby commended! According to the investigation, Liu Yan is the descendant of King Lu Gong, the fifth son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
"It turns out that I am really a clan member of the Han Dynasty. My father's name is Liu Yan, and my name is Liu Zhang, also known as Ji Yu. I just don't know which emperor is on the throne!" Ji Yu stood behind the door and smiled as he watched his father receive the order.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly realized: "Liu Yan! Liu Zhang! It can't be the Three Kingdoms!" Ji Yu was very entangled in his heart. The Three Kingdoms is an era that passionate men yearn for. People like him who like strategies and are full of bad ideas
, is most suitable for this era. No matter what poisonous trick is used, it will not rise to the level of morality. If it succeeds, it will be passed down through the ages. Like Wang Yun's serial trick, Gou Jian handed over steamed grain to the Wu Kingdom, causing famine in the Wu Kingdom.
These were all very despicable and despicable tricks, but they succeeded. Wang Yun successfully used Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, and Gou Jian successfully conquered the Kingdom of Wu and became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Because they succeeded,
People have forgotten their actions of using women and hurting the people, and have praised them for their loyalty and endurance of humiliation for thousands of years. Who knows, how much blood and tears of the people have been involved in this thousand-year reputation!
Just when Ji Yu was in a daze, Liu Yan had already dismissed the angel. He turned around and saw Ji Yu standing there in a daze. Liu Yan quietly walked to him, suddenly picked him up and said, "Good boy, you said, come here."
What to do?"
Ji Yu was awakened by Liu Yan. Looking at the big face that was close to her, Ji Yu twisted and said: "I have never seen an angel, so I want to see it!" After saying that, Ji Yu shuddered. Fortunately, his body
Five years old, otherwise Liu Yan would probably vomit if he talks like this! However, for a five-year-old child, this kind of cuteness is almost killing both men and women!
"What's so good about those eunuchs?" Liu Yan burst out laughing and hugged Ji Yu, and kissed Ji Yu hard on the face, making him drool all over his face.
"Father, who is the emperor now?" Ji Yu blinked cutely, trying to figure out what era it is now. If it is really the Three Kingdoms, then you need to plan in advance! Otherwise, just rely on Liu Yan and Liu Zhang.
The name makes Ji Yu feel a little nervous!
Speaking of Liu Yan, he can be regarded as a brilliant man. He managed to get a piece of treasure land for his son. Unfortunately, he was so evil that he caused a huge trouble for his son just to play with a widow. Liu Zhang was even more of a fool. He killed his father's mistress.
He actually didn't kill her son together, and the dangerous place in Hanzhong was controlled by outsiders, so he had to defend Xichuan. As a result, his subordinates saw that he had no hope of unifying the world, so they teamed up to sell him!
"Emperor!" Liu Yan raised his head and sighed: "I really don't know whether I should call him good luck or bad luck!"
Ji Yu rolled her eyes and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Someone else has become the emperor, isn't it good luck? It's better than ours! They are all Han clan members, so why should we just do it when someone else becomes the emperor?
A monkey?" However, Ji Yu didn't dare to say that. After all, he was a child. If he spoke so "insightfully", Liu Yan would probably treat him as a monster! Ji Yu said coquettishly: "Dad, tell me.
, Mom said that my family and the emperor are related, and the emperor is my brother!"
"Your mother is right, our family and the emperor are relatives. In terms of seniority, the emperor has to call me uncle!" Liu Yan proudly touched Ji Yu's head and said: "Speaking of the emperor, he is really lucky...
…”
Liu Yan introduced the emperor to his son. It turned out that the current emperor was called Liu Hong. Like the previous emperor, he was elected by his relatives. Coincidentally, the father of the current emperor Liu Hong and the previous emperor Liu Zhi were the same grandfather.
So Liu Hong's father and the previous emperor were cousins.
After Liu Zhi's death, he was posthumously named Emperor Huan. Since he had no sons, the young Queen Dou and her brother Dou Wu set their sights on the Han clan clan in their teenage years. Liu Hong, because of his father's relationship with the emperor, became
He was young, only twelve years old. He was between sensible and ignorant, so he was selected by Empress Dowager Dou and ordered Cao Jie, one of the ten permanent attendants, to bring him into the palace.
The eunuchs and their relatives have been fighting for a long time. Cao Jie and Dou Wu are very difficult to deal with. They both want to get rid of each other! But Chinese emperors like to play balance. Empress Dowager Dou is afraid that after getting rid of the eunuchs, Dou Wu may be too strong.
He hesitated to usurp the throne, but it was revealed that Cao Jie kidnapped the emperor and the queen mother, and killed the general Dou Wu and the Taifu Chen Fan, starting the second disaster of party imprisonment. Now it is Cao Jie who is in charge of the court!
In the Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for children of aristocratic families to work as eunuchs in the palace. After all, the aristocratic family was so big that it was normal to have a few poor people who did not have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Didn’t some people say, who doesn’t have a few poor relatives? These people can’t survive or
People who depended on their own clan for food and clothing but could hardly get enough food and clothing would cut themselves off and serve as eunuchs in the palace. Once these people became powerful, they would cultivate their own power, and people in the family were the most reliable. Nepotism is a Chinese tradition.
!
Furthermore, in the past, in the family, although these people did not have enough food and clothing, they were able to survive because they were the help of the family. In addition, the eunuchs had no heirs, so they naturally thought about the family members first. However, they are all good people.
Cao Jie promoted his own reputation, but he could not forget the Liu family. After all, the Han Dynasty belonged to the Liu family. So after an investigation, he found that Liu Yan, the prefect of Nanyang, was a good person. Not only did he have a good official reputation, he also did not participate in the court.
There was internal fighting, so he was promoted to Beijing!
Zongzheng is not a great official position. His job is to control the name book of the royal family, distinguish their status as concubines or their blood relationship with the emperor, and compile the genealogy of princes and kings with the same surname every year. According to the provisions of the Eight Meetings System of the Han Dynasty,
If a member of the clan is guilty, he must first appeal, that is, make a complaint to Zongzheng first, and Zongzheng will report it to the emperor, and then he can be dealt with lightly. If a king with the same surname breaks the law, Zongzheng can also participate in the trial. For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, King Hengshan, King Jiangdu, etc. were guilty, and the emperor once
Pai Zongzheng worked with other officials to handle these cases.
Zongzheng's rank is two thousand stones, and he has a prime minister. Both Zongzheng and the prime minister are appointed by the royal family. The subordinate officials include Du Si Kong Ling, Cheng, and the chief of internal officials, Cheng. Du Sikong is the prison officer, and is also responsible for detaining prisoners serving hard labor and often detaining them.
Those who are guilty of clan or foreign relatives. This position can only manage the emperor's relatives, but who dares to manage the emperor's relatives who are in power? Take the general Dou Wu, a foreign relative who holds military power, not to mention Zongzheng, who is the emperor.
Liu Zhi and Liu Hong had nothing to do with him! As for Cao Jie, Zongzheng was just a decoration. However, decorations also have the function of decoration, at least they can show their magnanimity and thoughts!
