"But Kong Rong and Kong Wenju, the 20th generation grandson of Confucius, the son of Kong Zhou, the commander of Taishan, were Kong Wenju." How could Dong Chong not know?

"That's right." Yang Biao replied.

Kong Rong was a rare talent and was diligent and studious, and was praised by Li Ying. Later, he was known together with Tao Qiuhong, Pingyuan and Bian Rang.

At the age of thirteen, his father Kong Zhou passed away. Kong Rong was so sad that he needed someone to help him to stand up. The state praised his filial piety. When he met the party and corruption, the famous scholar Zhang Jian was hated by the attendant of the Central Chang, and secretly ordered the prefectures and counties to be captured. Zhang Jian and Kong Rong's brother Kong Bao were the best friends, so he fled to Kong Bao's house. It happened that Kong Bao was not there. Kong Rong was only sixteen years old. Zhang Jian was young and did not tell the whole story. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Kong Rong said to Zhang Jian: "Although my brother has not returned, can't I be the decision to take you in?" So he kept Zhang Jian hidden at home.

After the incident occurred, from the prime minister, everyone under the state, suppressed the matter secretly, and Zhang Jian was able to escape. Kong Bao and Kong Rong were arrested and imprisoned. But they didn't know who committed the crime of hiding. The officials interrogated him and Kong Rong replied, "It was me who concealed Zhang Jian, and the guilt was me." Kong Bao said, "Zhang Jian came to find me, not my brother's crime. The crime was me, and I was willing to die." He asked Confucius' mother again, and Confucius' mother replied, "The older people are responsible for family affairs, and the crime is me." Seeing that a family was scrambling to die, the county and county hesitated, so he asked the court for instructions. The imperial edict determined Kong Bao's crime and died in prison. Kong Rong became famous for this matter. He did not accept the prefectures and counties.

Later, he was summoned by Yang Ci, who was then Situ, and was appointed as the Situ official. At the beginning of the year, He Jin was promoted to General, and Yang Ci sent Kong Rong to congratulate him. Because his disciples were negligent and did not report it in time, Kong Rong angrily took back the famous assassin and blamed himself. The general thought he had lost his face and wanted to send swordsmen to chase Kong Rong. Some guests made suggestions: "Kong Wenju is famous. If the general makes a grudge against him, all the people from all directions will follow him. It is better to treat each other with courtesy, so that everyone in the world knows that the general is broad-minded."

He Jin accepted his words and recruited Kong Rong as the chief general and subordinate of the general. He also named him Gaodi and was promoted to the position of the Censor. Soon, Kong Rong was disagreeable with his superiors and the Censor Zhao She, and returned home after he was ill.

It was precisely because he was my father's servant that Yang Biao recommended Kong Rong to the General of the Cavalry.

"I heard that this person is upright and upright. He was ordered by Situ, and those who are greedy and greedy in the bureaucrats will be demoted. Kong Rong often entrusted eunuchs' relatives. The Secretary Liang Hu was afraid of offending eunuchs, so he summoned Kong Rong and other officials to question and rebuke. Kong Rong stated the crimes of eunuchs' children without any concealment." Dong Chong laughed awkwardly: "How can famous scholars in the country surrender to my disciples?"

Yang Biao made a statement: "Kong Rong fought for justice in his family, and his elder brother Kong Bao was killed. Therefore, Kong Rong was jealous of the Ten Changshi and others. The general was a relative of the foreigners. If he had great power in the future, how could the eunuch not be eliminated?"

It is almost a common practice to kill relatives and eunuchs.

Dong Chong then realized: "Because I can use my hand to eliminate the internal officials. Kong Wenju was willing to surrender to my subordinates."

"Yes." Yang Biao said again: "As the general said, Kong Wenju is a famous scholar in the country. If he had the strong help from him, all the people with knowledge in the world would come to join us. At that time, the general's mansion was full of talents, so why worry about the big thing not being done."

"Miaoji!" Dong Chong stroked his palm and smiled. After laughing, he hurriedly raised his glass and thanked: "Thank you, Shao Mansion, to relieve my worries."

"I dare not thank you for the trivial matter." Yang Biao also raised his glass.

When Dong Chong got up and returned to his position, Cao Cao, who had been looking at him sideways, left the seat and asked Dong to go to change his clothes with him.

Dong Chong happily responded to the appointment and went with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked in secretly: "Can you know the profound meaning of Dong Biqi?"

"It's unknown." Dong Chong was stunned.

"There are two relatives in the dynasty in the dynasty of the Great General He Jin. They are all wealthy families. The chief of the General's Mansion is Benchu. He Jin was able to have the momentum of the current and made great contributions. It was precisely because of the weight of the General's Mansion that the power of the Cavalry Mansion was revealed to be light. Now Yang Shaofu appointed Kong Wen as the chief of the Cavalry Mansion, so he wanted to use the power of scholars to strengthen the general's power." Cao Cao laughed.

"So that's it." Dong Chong woke up.

The open and secret struggles behind the two mansions are actually a battle between wealthy families and gentry. The wealthy families took advantage of the power of General He Jin to gain great power. Once the Han Dynasty came, the gradually growing gentry also wanted to use Dong Chong's power to get a share.

The remaining poor families may rely on eunuchs, or enter Hongdu Gate to study, or go north to Sifang Hall, west to Sihai Hall, and join King Ji. There are many things.

Busy and profits come and go.

To put it bluntly, whether the camps are separated or the dispute over interests.

Speaking of which, the shogunate car drove out of Dongkou Post and entered Guanzhong. The car passed through Fengxian County, and the marquis of Yuli Geng Xie, and went out to welcome ten miles.

It was hard to refuse the kindness. Liu Bei then entered the city to attend a banquet.

The commander of the Western Regions, the general of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the King of Ji. He was a high-ranking official and took the seat to the throne. The Marquis of Yuli was recommended by the King of Ji. The people who served as accompanying him were all the leaders of the Han family today. The so-called six major families that revived the Han family today have been in name only. There are also the two families like Dou Rong and Liang Tong, who died because of their power.

However, the six major families have been dependent on the empire for more than 200 years. They have grown branches and leaves and entwined each other, and have become a tree with deep roots. The families with the same spirit as them are as numerous as cows.

In order to win over the heroic officials and generals, Emperor Guangwu often married him. So much so that after the Han Dynasty's election, there were no other six major families, including Dou Rong, Deng Yu, Ma Yuan, Liang Tong.

However, there are pros and cons. On the one hand, it consolidated the imperial power, and on the other hand, it also caused the autocracy of foreign relatives. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Queen's Chronicle": "The imperial rule in Tokyo has been extinct many times, and the power belongs to the heroine. Four emperors are established outside, and six queens are inherited from the dynasty." This shows that.

When relatives of the foreigners hold the power of abolishing and establishing great power, they will inevitably be "greedy for children to last for a long time". Since Emperor Zhang surrendered, the new emperor was established for only seventeen or only a hundred days. When the emperor was young, the empress dowager "supported the rules (citing old rules)" to rule the government. The so-called "six queens of the court" are: Dou, Deng, Yan, Liang, Dou, He, six queens of the empress dowagers were in power before and after. When the empress dowagers came to the court, they would definitely value relatives. The great power in the court was either entrusted to the father or entrusted to the brothers.

Today is even more serious. Your Majesty has his legitimate mother and his biological mother, and Empress He, and three-legged tripod.

Although Empress Dowager Dou became a lonely man, Empress Dowager Dong Yongle had a cavalry general Dong Chong, who was appointed as a relative of the foreigners. Dong Chong gained great power by using the achievements of extermination of the Yellow Turbans. The shogunate and general He Jin competed with each other.

It was heard that Dong Chong was recommended by Yang Biao a few days ago and appointed Kong Rong as the chief minister. Kong Rong also recruited Wang Lang, a native of Tan County, Donghai, to enter the mansion. The mansion of the General of Cavalry was growing rapidly. He had a great momentum to compete with He Jin.

In the north and south palaces, Empress Dong and Empress He were fighting openly and secretly.

In Luoyang City, the General's Mansion and the General's Mansion fought against each other.

There was a lonely Empress Dowager Dou inside and a lonely minister, King Ji Liu Bei outside. He became a key figure in the situation.

Compared with Luoyang City, the relatives who fought to the death. The aristocratic families who assisted Guangwu in reviving the Han Dynasty have begun to bet on King Ji Liu Bei.

Now the heads of the major families of the relevant tribes gathered in Yuhou Kingdom to welcome the King of Ji. Their meaning is self-evident.

It is said that it is good to enjoy the cool under the big tree. If you can stand up to the big tree of Ji King, you will have been prosperous for two hundred years. Each family will be prosperous for another two hundred years.

How could King Ji not know that Liu Sandun was born with? As my teacher said when I was young, the wealthy and poor families were all the people. The powerful and powerful followed the Han Dynasty and prospered. This is the so-called vested interests that hold a large amount of resources. They should also be properly placed. Be cautious and should not be underestimated.

From the perspective of the later generations, with the change of dynasties, there will always be nobles. It was only thirty years from Hedong to Hedong and thirty years from Hedong to Hedong. In the end, it was the turn of feng shui.

The bloody half of it is to save the other half. It is all a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause.

Only by treating both symptoms and root causes can one benefit the whole world.
