The affairs of Old Liu's family in the Eastern Han Dynasty were a bit chaotic.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne today is Liu Hong, and his fake father is the late emperor Han Heng Emperor Liu Zhi.

It can be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family has never been peaceful since Emperor Wu, but the real excitement probably starts with Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi's last Han emperor, the Han Zhi Emperor, died at the age of nine, so Liu Zhi was definitely not an emperor with a serious academic background.

The nine-year-old Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty certainly didn't have the ability to cause trouble, and after Liu Zhi took office, the political affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty were turbulent.

First of all, the Empress Dowager Liang came to the court to listen to the government, which could be regarded as turning on the button of the exclusive power of foreign relatives in the late Han Dynasty.

Over the past ten years, my wife's mentality has expanded in various ways. I dared to do whatever I dared not to think about in the past. At the same time, my wife was cited as a role model for future generations...

It turned out that Liu Zhi was not a light-hearted person either. He had been lying dormant for many years and used eunuchs to kill his relatives directly.

It’s hard to say whether this power can be taken back or not. The more intuitive result is that the eunuch has the exclusive power to press the button. He has also raised a lot of role models...

This is not over yet, the eunuchs are wreaking havoc, the party members are united and the dissidents are opposed, the bureaucrats and scholar-bureaucrats are naturally dissatisfied. As a result, just when they wanted to attack the eunuchs, they were directly blocked by the eunuchs.

To briefly summarize, the first calamity of party control has come...

Relatives, eunuchs, and party officials were the three most important elements in the turmoil of the late Han Dynasty.

Then, Liu Zhi probably went a little crazy with women, and he died without any sons left.

Liu Hong, here you go.

He was dragged up from among the people by his relatives again.

If you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that the emperor Liu Hong, who also did not have a professional background, has experienced very similar things to his predecessor, Fake Lao Tzu, since he came to power.

It's another round of the dictatorship of the foreign relatives, and the aftermath of the party's imprisonment has not yet been resolved. This time, the foreign relatives have learned the lesson, learned the lessons of their predecessors, and planned to kill the eunuchs first.

As a result, he was killed by the eunuch...

That's right, it was a relative who wanted to become a eunuch, but he was killed instead.

And our Emperor Liu Hong was even more decisive, directly pulling some eunuchs: "Father! Mother!"

Damn it, my attitude is completely messed up now...

Some people say that Liu Hong is tolerant, some say that Liu Hong is a check and balance, some say that Liu Hong is lustful, and some say that Liu Hong is greedy for money.

But in the end, after Liu Hong took office, what he actually did the most was repeatedly jump around.

One moment I kiss the eunuch, the next I love my relatives, the next I love the courtiers, and the next I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Come on, let’s play the party trick again and beat you to death~

Well, if this doesn’t depend on his daily life, maybe he can still show off his ‘emperor’s skills’.

As a result, there are many ways to play with women on weekdays, small businesses are done with gusto, setting up stalls in the palace is a pastime, and selling official positions and titles is the real way to make money.

The emperor's scheming? Promote wealthy families to check and balance the aristocratic families? I believe you. Are you sure that the wealthy families are richer than the aristocratic families?

This guy is just messing around, especially good at jumping around in various factions.

The anonymous scholar Cai Yong in Liu Cang's family was the direct victim of Liu Hong's repeated leaps.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were constant natural disasters. In fact, it is absolutely nonsense to say how exaggerated these natural disasters are.

Because disasters occur frequently in many areas, what really shakes the foundation of the Han Dynasty is the accumulation of neglect.

Just like Liu Cang's Zhuo County, there has been nothing happening in the surrounding areas in the past two years. As for droughts and wind disasters, they usually happen every few years.

And the rising water in the southern wetlands flooded the villages? How many years did the south suffer from floods? Let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you put it in modern times, there would never stop being flooded.

Timely governance, timely relief, allocating money for disaster relief, and restoring people's livelihood are enough.

Under normal circumstances, this is a routine operation that has been done for many years, and is familiar to everyone from courtiers to local wealthy families.

Basic skills should not be six, this is really not an exaggeration to describe.

Not only is everyone familiar with it, but Liu Hong, who is from the private sector, is also familiar with it.

It's just that Liu Hong, a fool, never thought that in recent years, he had used eunuchs to destroy the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. These courtiers were closely related to local noble families.

The emperor is quite good, yes. Although he is from a poor family, in the eyes of wealthy families, Liu Hong, the emperor, is actually quite to their liking.

But it would not be good if the eunuchs took advantage of it.

Everyone was dissatisfied and wanted to take advantage of the natural disaster to stab the eunuch in the waist.

Since you want to stab someone, you definitely can't do it any more.

Consciously govern and protect the folks?

Everyone, please wait for a while. There are evildoers in the morning who will cause heavenly punishment. When we clear your Majesty's side, we will first remove the evil obstacles around His Majesty. A little impatience will mess up the big plan.

Okay!

No one is taking care of this disaster. In drought-stricken areas, various downstream water closures are ignored, while in flood-logged areas, people are allowed to move around to increase the topic.

The most important thing is that the more it accumulates, the more terrifying it becomes.

So much so that it laid the foundation for large-scale natural disasters in the Han Dynasty.

Well, the foreshadowing is something that comes later, and it’s useless to say more here.

Let’s talk about the group of adults who were busy jumping up and down in the court.

Liu Hong's cronies were entrusted with great powers, and the courtiers used this as a breakthrough to imply that there was a natural disaster.

To put it bluntly, if you kill them, we will help you manage the world. Don't laugh, they are really not bragging.

But Liu Hongya's words are pretty damned: Come on, please explain it more clearly, I can't understand it.

Okay, now that things have come to this, Liu Hong doesn't know if he pretends to be confused because of his understanding, but he starts to humbly ask the courtiers for advice on how to govern the world.

It is conceivable that the courtiers would pay no attention to him.

Seeing that the matter had reached a deadlock, Liu Hong didn't realize it, and the courtiers did not dare to make a fuss. However, Liu Hong set his sights on the honest man.

Cai Yong and Cai Bojie are rare honest people in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

Yes, Liu Cang defines Cai Yong as an honest person, which is why Liu Cang is willing to get along with Cai Yong. Don't worry, there is no need to be constrained by blind imagination.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no shortage of smart people, but honest people were really rare.

Cai Yong is an honest man, and he has fully proved with himself that honesty is not rewarded.

When the situation was at a stalemate, Liu Hong found Cai Yong and spoke kindly to him. He expressed the importance and specialness of Cai Yong with all kinds of sad words and all kinds of emotions. It was as if Cai Yong was the only one he could rely on as the emperor.

Yes, Cai Yong was moved...

The biggest characteristic of an honest person is usually pragmatism. A smart honest person is even more practical when it comes to pragmatism.

What about women interfering in politics, eunuchs having exclusive power, what about Taiwei, Xiaowei, Tingwei, bah bah bah, they all reported the group of friends who usually play with Liu Hong.

List the various culpability of the other party with reasonable evidence.

Cai Yong even helped Liu Hong select a new group of "little friends", saying that these are good teammates who can help you push the BOSS.

Liu Hong was moved. Liu Hong’s move needs to be shared by friends.

Then, Liu Hong turned his face and handed Cai Yong's memorial to his friends who had been reported by Cai Yong.

Huh? My friends have discovered a weakness, so let’s put aside the things at hand. Come on, let’s start a group and recommend Cai Yong first.

Cai Yong and Cai Bojie, great Confucians of the generation, were almost paraded through the streets and beheaded at the market entrance.

To put it bluntly, let alone beheading, the punishment itself was exaggerated and humiliating enough for the Confucian scholar.

While many people were waiting to use Cai Yong's head to create new topics, fortunately, Liu Hong probably also knew that it was not safe to chop off the great scholar's head in this way.

Then, there is the reason why Liu Cang and Cai Yong met.

Cai Yong was convicted of various crimes, and finally he was exiled to Wuyuan and became neighbors with the Xiongnu and Hu Qiang.

Naturally, when the great Confucian was exiled, it was not his turn to be escorted by officials, and no one was willing to do such a job that would be infamy for thousands of years. If he met some idiots who were grievances for the great Confucian along the way, he would be easily stabbed.

When Cai Yong was about to go around Yanmen and go to the land separated from the Xiongnu grassland by a wall, he experienced an inexplicable fight and was finally taken back home by Liu Cang.

Now, Cai Yong, who was eating at the same table as Liu Cang, put down his bowl and chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and returned to his wooden house, took out two pockets of bamboo slips and placed them on the table.

The table was a high round table and the chairs were armchairs. Liu Cang didn't like to sit on his knees and he was the only one in the family, so he found someone to build this kind of table and chairs.

"My real name is Cai." Looking at Liu Cang's confused eyes, Cai Yong stroked his beard and said.

"Ah? Oh, Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, a great scholar." Liu Cang was stunned, and in a blink of an eye he said an unusually flat voice.

"What, stop pretending?" Liu Cang teased.

There is no need to worry too much with an honest person. If he cannot get along easily with Cai Yong, he will not leave Cai Yong at home. Regardless of whether it is Jiao Feibai or Cai Yong, his temperament will not change drastically just because of a name.

"Haha, stop pretending. How do you know my identity?" Cai Yong asked with a smile.
