Why were both Han dynasties destroyed by eunuchs and relatives?

It is easy to understand that eunuchs are in power. After all, they are often with the emperor and are often seen in later generations. The relatives of the outside world seem to be exclusive to the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei originally thought that the emperor was young when he ascended the throne, so the queen mother was the only one who was the only one who was the emperor. So he supported the relatives of the outside world and left trouble to the next generation.

However, when he put himself in his shoes and lived in the present, he gradually realized that although the crux of the relatives was from the Queen Mother, the reason why the Queen Mother was able to rule was because of feminism.

Perhaps. Among all the dynasties, the Han Dynasty had the highest status.

Not only can a woman remarry, she enjoys the inheritance rights stipulated by the Han Dynasty, manages farms, shops, and various industries, and can also be granted titles. She has her own fief and many slaves, and is close to her.

The emergence of eunuchs is also closely related to the relatives of the outside world.

Because the relatives of the outer world existed completely with the empress dowager. Once the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager delegated power, the relatives of the outer world would lose power. Therefore, all the emperors of the Han Dynasty, after ascending the throne, repeatedly cleared the huge group of relatives left by the previous dynasty. The methods were exactly the same. When they were young, they first relied on eunuchs to eliminate the outer world; when the new emperor became older, they began to cooperate with the party members to eliminate the official.

This cycle.

Therefore, fundamentally speaking, the repeated fighting between relatives and officials is all about the struggle for the old and new imperial powers.

After reading the Di newspaper, Liu Bei read Cui Lie's handwritten letter again. He mentioned that the Taiwei Duan Ying committed suicide due to crimes, and the emperor asked the ministers to help all the ministers, who could succeed him.

The three dukes and four palaces recommended Liu Kuan, the Weiwei, to succeed the position of Taiwei.

Liu Kuan, whose courtesy name was Wenrao. He was from Huayin County, Hongnong County. He was a famous minister and a clan. He was a 15th generation grandson of Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Liu Qi. In his early years, he served as the chief general, Situ Changshi, Prime Minister of the East Sea, Secretary of the Shangshu, and the prefect of Nanyang. He was a ruling and was called the elder in the country. During this dynasty, he was conquered as the chief minister of the Taizhong Department and served in the Huaguang Hall. Later, he was transferred to the position of Shizhong, the lieutenant of the Tunqin, Zongzheng and Guangluxun. In the fifth year of Xiping, he served as the Taiwei of Xu Xun, and later was dismissed for the solar eclipse and appointed Weiwei.

By the way, the three Dukes at present have high positions but low power and are very unstable. At most two or three years, at least one or two years. Few people can sit for a long time. This is because whenever there is a disaster, God will warn you. The emperor will replace the three Dukes and remove the position of one Duke. Therefore, the three Dukes become the scapegoats of the emperor. There is always a crisis of being dismissed. It is precisely because it is a high-risk profession that the emperor sells official positions and ranks as the third Duke, which only costs ten million yuan. Celebrities can still give it a discount.

The reason why Liu Bei thought of this was because Cui Tingwei wrote between the lines, revealing his intention to buy an official.

Five million yuan can be the Grand Marshal.

Anping Cui's family has become a huge wealth by selling Lou Sang Song Spring. It is really not worth mentioning. Cui Lie is mainly afraid of being acclaimed for his lifetime and will be weakened by buying an official position.

This is indeed the case in history. In the second year of Zhongping (185), Cui Lie spent 5 million yuan to serve as Situ. Although he was at the highest position, he was uneasy. One day, he asked his second son Cui Jun: "I am in the third duke, what are the people outside talking about?" Cui Jun replied: "My father was famous when he was young and served as the prefect. Everyone said that you should be the third duke. Now that his father has become Situ, people in the world are disappointed with you." Cui Lie asked: "Why is this?" Cui Jun replied: "People at that time dislike you for being a stinky man."

This is the source of the allusion of "the body is full of stinking".

At this time, at that time. Cui Lie was the court magistrate, but although he was the nine ministers, he could not participate in the final decision-making circle. Therefore, the news that was sent back to Lou Sang was mostly inaccurate and even far from the same. Although the power of the three ministers was not as good as before, he had a higher position. Whenever the policy was issued, Your Majesty had to ask the three ministers for their opinions first. Therefore, after bargaining, only the three ministers could know how many of the emperor's ideas could be recorded in the end.

Many news from Cui Tingwei was learned from his colleagues. How could the rumors be called accurate? Every time there were many different news about Liu Bei's edict, the news was in this way.

As he said in his letter, if he could be ranked among the three ministers, the news would be accurate.

In this way, there is Zuo Feng inside and Cui Lie outside. Liu Bei can know everything about the movements of the court in the forbidden area. How to deal with it is also targeted.

Cui Tingwei informed Liu Bei of such a private matter. In addition to showing kindness, he also had other profound meanings.

A few years ago, Liu Bei had a lot of dealings between inside and outside the court in order to save Cai Yong. Cui Lie's second son Cui Jun was the right chief of Linxiang Hou. He must have had letters with Cui Lie. When he learned that Cai Yong was pardoned, Cui Lie realized that Shaojun Hou had a lot of connections in the ban. He wanted to sell himself official positions through Shaojun Hou's connections and add help.

Since the sale of official positions in the West Palace, there have been a constant stream of people selling official positions. The three dukes and nine ministers are also among the ranks of selling official positions. Even if the three dukes and four officials and civil and military officials were recommended by Liu Kuan, the new Taiwei candidate, was rumored that the emperor asked him to pay 5 million yuan before he could take office.

The reason why Geng Yong came to the township construction site in person was to ask Liu Bei what he meant.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Six hundred miles in a hurry to send a letter to Huangmen Order Zuo Feng to ask about the matter of selling official positions."

"Here!" Geng Yong returned by boat.

Ten days later, Zuo Feng sent a secret letter back.

The words are indeed true. The emperor has ordered someone to pass on a message to Liu Kuan that if he wants to take office as the Grand Marshal, he will need to pay 10 million yuan of "money to repair the palace". The so-called "money to repair the palace" is obviously "money to buy official money". Liu Kuan did not refuse at once, but only said, "Let me try to raise money."

He also said that if Cui Lie wants to buy an official position, he can use His Majesty's Madam Fu's Mother Cheng. Fu's Mother is the nanny who is responsible for tutoring and raising the children of aristocrats. This Madam Cheng is obviously the closest person to His Majesty.

Liu Bei felt it was feasible, so he took the time to return to Lou Sang and discuss with the right chief Cui Jun.

Cui Jun said: My father abandoned his name and bought an official position. In addition to being able to be a lord, he also has selfish intentions. He ranks three ministers and is the most powerful minister. This is what we scholars like throughout our lives. My father is no exception. When the lord and the crown prince enter the capital, my father may be able to help him.

The mentor is honest.

Although he has firmly been in the position of Shangshu, it is probably difficult to make progress again. It is indeed beneficial to have Cui Lie, who is interested in him in the Three Dukes. As Cui Jun said, Liu Bei's trip to Luoyang is probably inevitable.

This made a plan with the two family ministers to help Cui Lie buy an official.

In addition to buying an official, Liu Bei had another thing, and Cui Jun asked him to do it.

Then I took out a celadon flat pot and placed it on the table. Open the pot plug, and the fragrance was suffocated.

Before the two family ministers could ask, Liu Bei smiled and said, "This is the essence of wine."

"The essence of wine?" Geng Yong asked with a smile.

"That's right." Liu Bei said the method of creation: "Take the best pine spring brew, steam it and emit it, and condense it into essence. Hence the name: alcohol."

According to Liu Bei's estimate, it was about thirty degrees. At this time, it was already high in wine.

Then he took three wine glasses and filled them. The king and his ministers drank the same drink. The two ministers were surprised and then happy. The throats were like fire and the heart was as warm as iron. When the wine surged, they burped out lightly. The room couldn't help but smell fragrant.

"Sucking jade liquid to quench thirst, gnawing the chili to cure hunger." Geng Yong said in a statement: "It is indeed the essence of wine."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "The essence of fine wine can be compared to jade liquid and nectar. Even if it is a bad wine, alcohol can be of great use."

"What's the use?" Cui Jun asked. Cui started his business in winemaking. Since selling Songquan brewing, no one has cared about the inferior wines they brewed. If they can be steamed into alcohol, it will be great.

"Alcohol can kill diseases and heal trauma." Liu Bei said in detail the effect of sterilizing alcohol.

Geng Yong already understood what Liu Bei was thinking. Then he smiled and said, "Does the lord want Anping Cui to sell alcohol instead?"

"That's right." Liu Bei nodded happily: "The alcohol made is sold to Lou Sang and stored for later use."
