On that day, because Zhang Rang pleaded for Liu Bian, although Emperor Ling still denounced Liu Bian, he did not make any actual punishment, but only proposed to find a teacher for Liu Bian.

Zhang Rang unexpectedly expected this, and his expression changed slightly.

Could it be that no one in the court can serve as the prince's army?

Of course not.

At this time, there were Yang Biao, the son of the late Grand Marshal Yang Ci, Ma Riyi, the grandson of Ma Rong, and many other wise ministers such as Lu Zhi, who had made great contributions to the Yellow Turbans. These wise ministers were qualified and capable of serving as the prince's teachers. The problem was that most of these people were scholars, so how dare Zhang Rang let these people serve as Liu Bian's teachers?

You should know that once Liu Bian established his identity as a crown prince, his teacher would be the crown prince's grand tutor. When Liu Bian succeeded to the throne and became the imperial queen, he would be the grand tutor. In the future, he would undoubtedly be the top officials in the court and the highest position.

How could Zhang Rang allow a scholar to take on such an important position?

It is said that Zhang Rang is worthy of being the eunuch of the two dynasties who had entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Huan of Han. Although his expression changed slightly, he was calm and quickly echoed: "What Your Majesty said is very true. It is indeed necessary to choose a teacher for Shihouhou... The old minister thought it would be better to choose from the Shiyiguan of Hongxue, Liang Menghuang, and Mao Daya among the others."

Who are you talking about this?

Even though Liu Bian believed that he was familiar with this history, he didn't know who the people Zhang Rang mentioned were, but he knew what Zhang Rang said about "Hongxue".

Hongxue, full name Hongdumen Xue, is a new school established by Emperor Ling in Luoyang about ten years ago. It is named after the campus is located in the Hongdumen area of ​​Luoyang.

This new school was founded by the Ten Constables in order to fight against scholars, win over and cultivate scholars who support themselves. It was originally created to fight against the Taixue, which occupied the territory by the gentry forces. It was a product of unscrupulous political struggle.

Given the disdain of the gentry towards eunuchs such as the Ten Changshi, most of the students in Hongdu Gate were ordinary children - yes, they were ordinary people rather than poor families. This to a certain extent also shakes the class social form of the genius' knowledge and provides a way for the lower class to rise. If it was born in the prosperous period of peace, I believe that later generations will definitely give high evaluations.

This is also one of the few political achievements of Emperor Ling and the Ten Constables, although their original intention was not so.

Unlike the Taixue, Hongdumen School mainly teaches Ci, Fu, calligraphy, and painting. The Shi Yiguan, Liang Menghuang and Mao Daya mentioned by Zhang Rang just now are also well-known calligraphy masters in the contemporary era. Compared with Cai Yong and other calligraphy masters in the scholar camp, they are very good at calligraphy masters, and are deeply loved by Emperor Ling.

If you make an inappropriate metaphor, Hongxue and Taixue are like the difference between junior college and undergraduate.

Of course, although it is a "junior college", because it was founded by Emperor Ling, and because of the two previous party-black relationships, the reputation of Hongxue is not too bad at all.

Think about it, one is an institution where ordinary children can also study, and the other is an institution where children of the gentry rely on their relationship. Naturally, Hongxue's reputation must surpass the Imperial Academy. After all, because of the Ten Constant Attendants, Hongxue students are more likely to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries than those of the Ten Constant Attendants.

"Um."

Emperor Ling thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let's choose someone from the doctor of Hongxue, Father, this matter will be left to you."

Zhang Rang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely choose several teachers for Shi Hou to satisfy His Majesty."

Emperor Ling nodded, then waved his hand to signal Zhang Rang to send someone to send Liu Bian back to his residence.

Zhang Rang knew it and personally sent Liu Bian outside the hall.

At this time, Liu Bian naturally did not forget to seize the opportunity to express his closeness: "Mr. Zhang, thanks to you this time."

It has to be said that no matter how the people in the world evaluate the Ten Constellation Service, from his position, if he wants to successfully inherit the throne in two years, then the Ten Constellation Service is a force that should be won over and can be won over.

As for the harm of the Ten Constables, can Dong Zhuo have great harm?

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he not only committed adultery in the harem, but also killed the young emperor and the empress dowager. He retreated to Chang'an and burned the Han Palace in Luoyang and dug up the tombs of emperors of all dynasties. It was a great evil in the world! The Han Dynasty rioted thieves!

In contrast, before Zhang Rang and the ten regular attendants held the young emperor Liu Bian and the Chenliu King Liu Xie to escape, they jumped into the river and committed suicide by jumping to the young emperor at a desperate situation, they did not forget to kowtow to the young emperor and cried loudly: "I will be destroyed, and the world will be in chaos. Only Your Majesty loves himself!"

As the saying goes, people are about to die, and Zhang Rang and the ten regular attendants did not forget to kowtow to the young emperor before they died, hoping that the young emperor would take care of himself. It can be seen that at least in terms of loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Zhang Rang and others could not be considered a real traitor. It would be fine if they beat them up in the future and then use them. At least Liu Bian never thought of killing all the eunuchs in the palace in the future.

Eunuchs can't be killed. Even Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han who later wrote in his memorial to "I sigh and hate Huan, and I am the Ling", did not still have no choice but to Huang Hao, the Central Constable, beside Liu Chan?

Eunuchs, relatives, powerful ministers, and harems are all objective existences that always revolve around the imperial power. If the imperial power is strong, these four forces will be settled; on the contrary, there will be eunuchs, relatives, powerful ministers, and harems that will cause disaster, control the government and oppress the imperial power, which has been like this in all dynasties.

Just as the great man said: either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Therefore, the blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as the imperial power is kept awake, the eunuch's disaster is just a minor illness, which is far inferior to the other three threats. After all, eunuchs will never usurp the throne, but relatives, powerful ministers, and harems can do it!

Zhang Rang was satisfied and happy about Liu Bian's show of kindness, and also hurriedly said: "Shi Hou is so serious. The old minister's incomplete people only want to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, and be able to share His Majesty's worries and His Majesty's worries are the blessing of the old minister. If Shi Hou has any needs in the future, the old minister will definitely do his best."

Liu Bian, who knew his life, smiled in his heart, but did not show it.

At this moment, one of the ten eunuchs, Zhao Zhong, who was one of the ten eunuchs, hurried over with four little eunuchs, saw Liu Bian and Zhang Rang from a distance, and walked quickly.

"Shi Shi Zhao, you are in a hurry, don't know what's urgent?"

Because Liu Bian was by his side, Zhang Rang did not call Zhao Zhong the "gong" as usual.

Obviously, Zhao Zhong also guessed Zhang Rang's considerations. After saluting Liu Bian and Zhang Rang, he explained with a smile: "Mr. Shi, Zhang Changshi, this is the case. The queen learned about the daughter of Dong, and heard that His Majesty called Shi Hou to give a speech, so she urgently ordered me to come and say goodbye."

Although he was talking about "urgent", in fact, he was not in a hurry.

Since Liu Bian took the initiative to show his favor to Guo Sheng, he has become a tacit understanding among the Ten Eunuchs. Of course, Zhao Zhong guessed in advance that Zhang Rang, who is beside Emperor Ling, would plead for this Silent Marquis.

If he insists on saying that he is anxious, he is simply trying to show off in front of Liu Bian, just like Zhang Rang wants to plead for him in front of Liu Bian.

It is not too cold to show your merits to the future prince.

"I see."

Zhang Rang suddenly realized and smiled and said to Liu Bian: "Since it is the queen's summoning, Shi Hou should not delay it."

So, Liu Bian said goodbye to the head of the Ten Constellation Secrets, and followed Zhao Zhong, the second-person of the Ten Constellation Secrets, to Changqiu Palace and met the current queen of the Han Dynasty.

Empress He, the sister of General He Jin, and the mother of Shi Hou Liu Bian, is said to have entered the palace at the age of thirteen and fourteen, under the arrangement of his elder brother He Jin and Zhongchang Shi Guo Sheng. Later, by chance, Emperor Ling was lucky and gave birth to Liu Bian and was named noble. At this time, Empress Song was deposed, so the daughter of a butcher in Nanyang became the queen of the mother's mother, which is very magical.

Although I don’t know her specific age, from the perspective of her appearance, Empress He is only twenty-six or seven years old now, and she is extremely elegant and elegant. In addition, she is born pretty, and she has a graceful and luxurious laziness in her every move. I have to say that she has both appearance, temperament and charm.

This made Liu Bian feel a little stressed. When he bowed his hands, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Mother..."

Queen He may have noticed that Liu Bian was a little unfamiliar with her, but she didn't care too much. After all, this son was raised outside the palace since he was a child, and it has not been a month since he was taken back to the palace, so she didn't find it strange that she was unfamiliar with her.

"My miserable child..."

She took the initiative to step forward and put her son in her arms.

This made Liu Bian feel even more uncomfortable. After all, from the perspective of his previous life, Empress He's appearance and age were just within his appropriate range, but unfortunately she was her biological mother...

Fortunately, he was only ten years old and did not have that kind of impulse at all, but he still felt a little uncomfortable psychologically, so he subconsciously struggled for a while.

Queen He felt her son's struggle sensitively. When she saw that her son was full of discomfort, she had to let him go, but her expression was a little resentful.

"Mother, I..."

"Bian'er doesn't need to explain, she understands it for her mother."

Perhaps it was Liu Bian's embarrassing appearance that made Queen He feel a little reluctant to see it. She reached out to touch Liu Bian's head, and a doting smile appeared on her face.

It has to be said that in history, Empress He was stubborn and jealous, poisoning the beautiful Wang and expelling Empress Dowager Dong, all of them were shocked by the harem. However, during this period, Liu Bian personally experienced that Empress He was very doting and tolerant of him.

"Bian'er, your Majesty didn't punish you, did you?"

"without……"

Liu Bian glanced quietly at Zhao Zhong, who was standing beside him holding a whisk, and said with relief: "Fortunately, Zhang Changshi pleaded for me..."

As he said that, he briefly explained the matter, including how many people were chosen as teachers in the Hongdu Gate School.

As he expected, Zhao Zhong smiled slightly.

"That's good."

Empress He also breathed a sigh of relief, then took Liu Bian's hand and said earnestly: "Bian'er, you want the daughter of Doctor Cai to come to the palace to accompany you. Why don't you tell Wei Niang about this? Fortunately, your father did not blame him this time... He promised Wei Niang, and if you have anything in the future, he would tell Wei Niang that Wei Niang would find a way for you, do you know?"

"yes……"

Liu Bian nodded slightly.

I have to say that Queen He’s performance made him think of the saying “A loving mother defeats her son”.

Of course, from historical data, Empress He is still far from "Ci", especially for Meiren Wang and Empress Dowager Dong. However, no matter what, her love for him as her only son cannot be faked, and this also prompted Liu Bian to make a secret decision and change the fate of this woman.
