Chapter 572
In the early Han Dynasty, nobles and scholars were very powerful, but in the later Han Dynasty, only foreign relatives could fight back and forth with eunuchs, and all struggles of scholars would end in failure.

After the emperor issued an order to criticize him and showed an unrepentant attitude, Luo Chuan knew that the big man was about to die.

In Yinghou's mansion, a group of scholars were kneeling and sitting, all of them were of different ages, and the clouds were gloomy.

The emperor pardoned the death penalty, but only imprisoned the political future of these scholars, and the scholars who had escaped could return to their hometowns.

These scholars directly bowed their hands to the ground, and then touched their heads to the ground. They kowtowed and bowed to Luochuan three times and bowed nine times, which was the most solemn salute.

Luo Chuan naturally stopped him hastily, but even the most staid Confucian scholars insisted on finishing the salute.

"Mr. Zi Chuan, without your protection, I am afraid that the old man, all his disciples and all the scholars would all die at the hands of the eunuch.

This kind of grace of reincarnation is just a gift of Jishou, it is really not too much. "

Luo Chuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, this Marquis can only do his best, and the edict of confinement hasn't been released yet, is there anything you want to do after you return to your hometown?"

Hearing the word "imprisonment", everyone fell silent, the grief and indignation in their eyes was almost uncontrollable, and there was also despair that they didn't know how deep it should be.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace!

Which scholar does not have the great wish to govern the country and the world, and hope for the world to be peaceful?

Which scholar has never made a bold statement to Jun Yao and Shun.

Serve the king, make great achievements, safeguard the country, and survive the world.

all ruined.

The king who wanted to be loyal abandoned them and denounced them as traitors. Some scholars could not accept direct suicide, and some scholars did not like to find problems from themselves, so they thought that there must be something wrong with the emperor.

There was silence in the room for a long time before someone said: "This old man is old, I'm afraid I won't see the edict of imprisonment be released.

The edict of confinement has affected the three clans and five servants, as well as friends who have made friends and disciples under the sect. Even if they want to recruit apprentices to give lectures, the disciples have no chance to become officials.

So he went back to his hometown to engrave scriptures so that poor students could read. Maybe there are talents who can revitalize the great Han society.

When we meet the Mingjun and the Holy Lord, the imperial edict of confinement will definitely be released. At that time, the revitalization of the great man can be regarded as the old man's power. "

This is a typical Confucian scholar-bureaucrat. Even though he was forced to this point, he still wanted to revitalize the dynasty.

He is still good, because he at least said that the current emperor is not a Mingjun.

Confucians even until this situation attributed the cause to the eunuchs' power, and were unwilling to blame the emperor, thinking that the emperor was only deceived.

The young scholars are a bit confused, not knowing where the future is going. Is it true that they will spend their lives in the countryside like this?

There is also a trace of hostility in the eyes, especially some Confucians from the Meng family, who have even raised the idea of ​​leaving for the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong and leading an army south to destroy the Han.

The king treats his ministers like grass, and the ministers treat him like a bandit!

Destiny turns.

The Millennium Holy Bangzhou has yet to be fulfilled.

Can Hunting always be ordered?

Countless complicated thoughts filled everyone's minds, and then they left.

……

Luo Qian sat on her knees at the table, warming up the wine, and said calmly: "My beloved, you are famous all over the world, and there are as many scholars who come to visit you as crucian carp crossing the river.

The last time he killed a eunuch's son, the emperor didn't feel much when he calmed down.

Now you are walking with scholars, but you violated the emperor's taboo.

The next time there is a catastrophe, if you can't find a suitable reason, unless you run away, the family will not be able to save your life. "

Luo Chuan stood in front of the window, rubbing the flagon in his hand.

He recalled that a few days ago, even the families belonging to the five surnames began to persuade him to let it go, and the most famous Confucian families in the world wrote to him, saying that writing the letter would anger the emperor even more. Just wait until the next chance.

He said with a trace of sadness: "This big man is a sign of impending doom.

Both the emperor and the ministers are racking their brains to keep their power.

The horizon will be narrowed above the imperial court, and the problems of the world will be ignored.

These people are engrossed in the victory of the power struggle, but they don't know that the world is already full of holes. "

The husband and wife were silent for a moment. It is impossible to stop fighting. This is human nature, but fighting without breaking is the normal way. Now the emperor directly tore his face.

Luo Chuan took a sip of wine and said worriedly: "These scholars have their own talents.

It is not comparable to those eunuchs and relatives who can only be attached to the emperor.

A group of heroes with great ambitions, capable of writing and martial arts, capable of governing the country and the world, are imprisoned among the people, which will greatly shake the rule of the empire.

In conjunction with the sale of officials and nobles, the palace was built extensively, and wars were frequently launched on all sides.

According to the current trend, Wei Fu estimates that the Great Han Dynasty is at most several decades away from the outbreak of troubled times, and it is likely to be like the end of Qin Dynasty and the end of Han Dynasty, when a chaos directly plunged the Han court into the abyss.

Will there still be Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the ancestors, to calm the world this time? "

Probably.

Luo Chuan was a little uncertain. Although he was not the direct son of the Luo family, but because he was the only son of the previous Yinghou, he had decided to marry a daughter of the Luo family since he was young. He had always lived in Zhaocheng and received the orthodox Luo family education.

He knew that the illusory theory of destiny existed objectively.

Mandate of Heaven is not a coercive mechanism, but a biased one.

If the fate of the Han Dynasty has fallen, then naturally each will rely on his own ability, and the heroes will compete for the throne.

But now the Han Dynasty is only 300 years old, which is too short compared to the past dynasties.

Luo Chuan speculated that the fate bestowed by God might not be over yet.

Under such circumstances, it is very likely that there will be another master of ZTE to continue for the Han Dynasty.

But judging from the current situation, the current emperor has no heart of repentance, and wants to go all the way to darkness.

Luo Qian stood up and walked to the window, side by side with Luo Chuan, and said calmly: "Sir, these scholars may not be imprisoned among the people.

The Kingdom of Yan in Liaodong was booming, and many poor families went to the country.

If there are children from wealthy families in the Central Plains who are willing to go, wealth and honor will be in the blink of an eye.

In the early Han Dynasty, facing the declining Han court, the children of the family were actively saving the world, and even took the life of Duke Zhao Zhongyi.

But the last time you came back to the family, you knew that the family had been watching Han Ting coldly.

It is already very restrained to drag the Han Dynasty into the abyss like the current gentry.

After all, there is love between the two parties.

If you want to help Hanting, the family will hardly help you. "

Luo Qian's words were a bit cold, Luo Chuan's lips moved slightly after hearing the words, and it took a long time before he said softly: "Ma'am, I understand.

But Yinghou has been inherited for 300 years. Unlike other families in the world, he is completely loyal and loyal. I can't let it be broken here.

The family has to pass on for thousands of years, ten thousand years, until the end of time.

Yinghou will survive and die with the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.

Our child, I don't know if he can bear such pressure. "

Both the husband and wife knew that when the two of them were alive, the big man had not been corrupted to the point of perishing, but when their children grew up, the situation they encountered would be far worse than it is now.

……

It is impossible to count the number of people who were imprisoned. After all, this time the imprisonment was for five times, plus there were disciples, the number was simply terrifying.

However, the occurrence of the disaster of party imprisonment does not seem to have had any impact on the imperial court, so what should be or what should be.

The emperor was very satisfied with this. This was his idea. If the huge imperial court leaves, everyone will turn around. No one is indispensable.

A large number of scholars left the court, vacating a lot of official positions. The emperor excitedly sold the three high positions of Jiuqing for a good price, a full [-] million yuan.

Once again, the eunuchs, who had won a big victory over the literati and bureaucrats, became more and more rampant. Except for a few people, the rest of the regular servants and eunuchs' children, facing the silent court and the world, started to fight more and more.

Not only the children of the eunuchs, but also the tyrants in the local counties followed behind these people, either annexing the land, or scraping the children of the eunuchs, and gathering the people who could not survive into the family, becoming their tenant farmers, becoming The "disappeared person" in the household registration of the imperial court.

Vigorously, everyone is digging the foundation of this huge dynasty, just waiting for it to fall down!

----

"The disaster of the party's prison" was a political event that could not be avoided at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. , the followers imprison their three clans and five clothes."

Fundamentally speaking, this was a struggle for power within the ruling group, a confrontation between the scholar group representing the ministerial power and the eunuch group representing the imperial power.

The author usually only records this kind of political struggle without prejudice, but the scourge of party imprisonment is different.

The eunuchs are not just from an objective or subjective point of view. The scholar-officials who stepped forward not only represented the voice of their own class. justice.

The "disaster of the party's imprisonment" was extremely harmful. It caused a group of more advanced scholars in the scholar class to alienate themselves from the Han Dynasty. It can be said that the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty's rule was completely shaken, and it caused a series of subsequent evil consequences. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
