Prince of Chaos

Chapter 373 Soul torture
On the mansion of Cao Huachun, Liaodong Town.

Cao Huachun, as the eunuch sent by the imperial court to accompany the army in Liaodong, although his power is not as good as the usual eunuchs who are called "supervising the army" and "guarding the army".

However, no one would underestimate Cao Huachun just because of this one word difference.

After all, Cao Huachun is in a sense the representative of Zhu Changluo.

Therefore, in Liaodong, Li Rumei was also very polite to Cao Huachun. Whenever there was a military operation, Li Rumei would send a note to Cao Huachun to know.

And Cao Huachun was also very disciplined, except for listening quietly, he didn't interrupt anything.

At the end, Li Rumei would ask, "What do Eunuch Cao think?"

But every time Cao Huachun's answer was: "Mr. Li is in charge."

In this way, Li Rumei and Cao Huachun got along even more harmoniously. For this reason, Li Rumei also obeyed her elder brother's order and gave Cao Huachun a very generous gift every month.

And Cao Huachun did not refuse these gifts, he accepted them all with a smile.

The reason why he dared to do this was not that Cao Huachun was greedy, but that these were Zhu Changluo's special explanations.

Zhu Changluo said: "Whether it is in Liaodong or at the local level, the military and political ministers will more or less bribe the imperial envoys of the imperial court. If the bribe-taker does not accept bribes, he may be turned away by the local military and political ministers. The local government plays a role, so you can take some bribes as you should. However, every bribe you take must be registered and recorded, because the bribes you receive are not given to you by the local military and political ministers themselves These bribes are the anointing of the people! If you let Gu know that you have embezzled bribes, Gu will definitely act according to family law."

With Zhu Changluo's permission, Cao Huachun put away the money, and he didn't have the slightest burden in his heart.

Although it is said that eunuchs are greedy by nature, it depends on the person.

The reason why some eunuchs are greedy by nature is that after they enter the palace helplessly, after solving the problem of food and clothing, they will suddenly find themselves empty, and the only desire that can arouse them to live in the palace is Silver, so they will devote their whole life to the desire for silver.

Especially for some eunuchs who have just become rich, their greed is even more immeasurable!

However, if the eunuch has family members, and his family members are not the kind of demanding and greedy people, their hearts will be much calmer, and they will think of ways to help their family members.

At this time, the way to help the family is not just to send money.

Therefore, often such eunuchs who do not have a particularly strong desire for money are a group of eunuchs with ideals. They all want to be appreciated by the nobles through their own efforts, and then fulfill their dreams.

The representative figures are Tong Guan and Zheng He.

Although Tong Guan was known as one of the six thieves after the Northern Song Dynasty, this cannot negate Tong Guan's contribution.

After all, Tong Guan also held military power for 20 years, recovered the land of the four states for the Northern Song Dynasty, and then quelled the Fangla Rebellion, and was named a prince with a different surname. This achievement among eunuchs is also a great monument.

Of course, his fate was also miserable. Let’s not talk about whether he is really arrogant and domineering, selling his official rank. First of all, he, a eunuch, has made such great achievements in the world of traditional scholars and officials. He made these scholars who claim to be the embodiment of justice What should we do?
Therefore, after the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin, the literati and bureaucrats never looked for problems on themselves. They immediately pushed the cause of the Northern Song Dynasty's demise to the "treacherous officials" headed by Tong Guan and others, and then used public opinion to kill them. Quickly, nail it to the shame frame of history forever, so as to prove how righteous and upright the scholar-bureaucrats are.After that, they followed the exiled Northern Song royal family to establish a small and peaceful regime in the south with peace of mind.

In this small regime, there will never be a lack of voices for the restoration of rivers and mountains, and the Northern Expedition to Hulu.But whenever anyone who really went to the Northern Expedition appeared, they would try their best to stop the suppression.

For example, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji and so on.

Xin Qiji was idle all his life, and wrote a lot of poems full of regret and regret, and became the great writer and poet he didn't want to be.His dream is the same as that of Yue Fei. He wants to make contributions in the battlefield, restore the world of the Han people, and win fame both before and after him.

It's a pity that the small southern regime that has lost its bones will not give him a chance.

And Yue Fei went straight to Huanglong, and he was about to restore the old capital.

But the emperor and ministers in Lin'an were terrified. They were worried that Yue Fei's victories in the north would increase his prestige, which would affect their current status.

So, with twelve gold medals, Yue Fei was killed on an unfounded charge.Afterwards, Qin Hui was blamed for all the crimes. Could it be that Qin Hui was the only one in the small court at that time who was preventing the Northern Expedition?
If Qin Hui was really alone, how could there be twelve gold medals?Did the emperor obey Qin Hui's words?If this is the case, wouldn't Qin Hui have the ability to change dynasties? Wouldn't it be good for him to be Cao Cao?

Obviously, the bad things in it are not enough to be understood by outsiders.And Qin Hui must also bear the fate of killing the donkey and the ending of eternal infamy!

In the end, this is all caused by the inferiority of the scholar-officials.When they do evil, they will be terrified a thousand times or ten thousand times by the wicked.

Because, after they have done evil, they will beautify themselves by writing history and make the "wicked people" worse.

The worst of them all was Cao Huachun.

Of course, it is not the current Cao Huachun, but the Cao Huachun in the original historical time and space.

Cao Huachun in the original historical time and space was really miserable.

He was devoted to the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. Because of his knowledge of military affairs, he was awarded the post of chief admiral of the Jingying military administration, and trained the last strong army of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongwei Battalion, which was directly under the imperial court.

This army was in the ninth year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, when the Qing army entered the frontier of the Saikou, Cao Huachun's Yongwei Battalion stood out in the battle and made a contribution in the first battle.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the rebel army within the Ming Dynasty entered Henan with great momentum.The Yongwei Battalion called for battle and went out, winning consecutive battles and becoming the army with the best record on the battlefield of "suppressing bandits".

In the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the fortress again.The Yongwei Battalion went north to fight against the Qing Dynasty. When all the Ming armies avoided the battle, one of them stood alone and fought against the Qing army at Wuqiao.

The Qing army invaded the bandits, and the rebel army rose again.In the 12th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong revolted again. The Ming army was repeatedly defeated on the battlefield, and even Qin Liangyu's white soldiers were wiped out.But the Yongwei Battalion defeated Luo Rucai in Fengyiping, and achieved the first victory on the Jinghu battlefield.

However, the more so, the more attacks Cao Huachun received.

Finally, in the 12th year of Chongzhen, Cao Huachun went to Sanshu and said that he was sick and was forced to return home.

However, Cao Huachun's story did not end because he retired from his old age and returned to his hometown.

Just after the Qing army settled in Beijing, Cao Huachun was grateful for the kindness of the late emperor, and he asked the Qing emperor to take care of the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen.

Originally, the Qing emperor had already agreed to this matter.

However, at this time, the literati and Donglin party members who had been friends with Cao Huachun launched an attack on him.

Yang Bo of Shuntian Mansion, Wanping Yang Shimao, etc. who had surrendered and became "upright officials" respectively went to Shushu Counselor Cao Huachun to "open the door to welcome the thieves, the thieves entered the city, and stood up to serve them. Not enough to convince the people."

However, Cao Huachun had already left the capital for six years.How could he come to open the gates of Beijing to welcome the intruders into Beijing?So, obviously, this is the shameless false accusation of the literati!
In fact, it was Zhang Jinyan, Minister of War of Emperor Chongzhen, who opened the gate of Beijing to welcome the intruders.

On the day when Li Zicheng's army forced the city of Beijing, Zhang Jinyan thought that the Ming Dynasty could no longer be preserved. In order to change his family and seek refuge with his new master, he ordered people to open the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Liu Zongmin's troops into the city.

This is entirely a good thing that the literati and bureaucrats did themselves, but they dumped the blame on an old eunuch who had been away from Beijing for six years. The degree of shamelessness is simply amazing.

This is so that Cao Huachun wrote a famous poem of remembrance before his death.

Poetry Cloud:

"Serving the country, being foolish and loyal, disregarding one's own self, and making false accusations for no reason?"

"I have been slandered at home for six years, and I believe that history is not true."

Cao Huachun's greatest tragedy is that he underestimated the shamelessness of human nature and overestimated the bottom line of scholars.So, at the end of his life, he finally sent out his own soul torture-is the history written on paper true?
