The conflict between the party members and the emperor did not appear suddenly, but was brewing for a long time.

Strictly speaking, from the moment Dong Zhongshu transformed Confucianism and made Confucianism on the political stage, there was a natural conflict between Confucianism and imperial power. Emperor Xiaowu seemed to advocate Confucianism, but in fact he used magic, but he just used Confucianism to modify it.

.When Emperor Xiaoxuan came to Emperor Xiaoxuan, he even said that the Han family had their own laws and regulations, domineering and using both kingly ways, and it was impossible to be purely Confucianism.

Of course, the Confucian clan refused to give up and kept resisting, and the final result was that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang was defeated, but the Confucian Sect was not completely defeated.

The revival of Guangwu, given the great influence of the Confucian clan, actually inherited many of Wang Mang's policies, and the influence of the Confucian clan was further expanded. In places where the previous dynasty was in great influence, the powerful gradually followed Confucianism and became the Confucian clan, the elite among them.

It became a family.

The Yuan family in Runan and the Yang family in Hongnong are representatives of it.

If we count the aristocratic families and major families of this dynasty, most of them have Confucian traditions and are no longer purely powerful people.

The influence of Confucianism is getting bigger and bigger, which will inevitably arouse vigilance from the imperial power. In the early days of this dynasty, foreign relatives were in power. Confucianism persevered and subtlely moved. It took nearly a hundred years to turn the foreign relatives who were originally military meritorious officials into Confucianism.

The literate relatives of the outer world, the Confucian family and the outer world, gradually became a merger.

Dou Wu was the general who had high hopes for the Confucian clan, while Ma Rong became a generation of Confucian clan among his relatives.

However, Emperor Xiaohuan's emphasis on eunuchs interrupted this trend and smashed the hope of Confucianism step by step. The gradual gentle method was difficult to implement, and Confucianism gradually lost patience and became more extreme. In the end, with Dou Wu and Chen Fan, he was killed.

, The contradictions intensified, triggering the second party and corruption.

At this point, the radical part of the Confucian school was called the party members and became completely opposed to the emperor.

From the second year of Jianning (168) to the first year of Zhongping (184), the Party and Fine Force lasted for seventeen years. If we counted the first Party and Fine Force, it would be nineteen years.

During the nineteen years, countless people in the Confucian sect were imprisoned and were not allowed to go to office. This was a great blow to the Confucian sect and a fatal blow to the court.

The nineteen years when the party members were imprisoned was the nineteen years when the eunuchs expanded their power.

Although there are still many Confucians standing in the court and fighting eunuchs unremittingly, they themselves tend to be conservative and fearful of the emperor. Faced with eunuchs who use any means, they retreated step by step and were defeated.

In contrast, the imprisoned party members were indomitable and accumulated outstanding strength, and eventually broke the imprisonment, entered the court again, and mastered the power, driving the eunuchs to death.

Looking back now, the party members must have responsibility. The specific manifestation is impulse, too idealistic, and easy to go to extremes when encountering setbacks, and eventually reach the stage of abolishing and even changing dynasties.

But to be fair, abolishing and establishing one's existence and changing dynasties is not the original intention of the party.

Wang Fen, Chen Yi and others attempted to hijack Emperor Xiaoling and make Hefei Hou the Emperor, without any intention of changing the dynasty.

Yuan Shao had people around him who wanted to change the dynasty, but the number was limited, and most of them were still in love with the court. Even if He Yong, Chen Zhi, Xun Shuang and others, even Tian Feng and Guo Tu had no idea of ​​changing the dynasty.

They all suggested that Yuan Shao welcome the emperor.

Therefore, the party members are wrong, but the method is wrong, and there is no problem with the motivation of the party members.

"The biggest mistake of the party is that it lacks the pragmatism emphasized by His Majesty. If you can be down-to-earth and make a big move, you will not be defeated today." Xun Ren finished speaking and sighed. "This is not just a mistake of the party, but

It is the innate deficiency of the entire Confucian sect. Now that your Majesty has finished it, it is a blessing for Confucian sect."

Liu Xie kept listening to Xun or the story quietly, without interrupting a word.

After seeing Xun Or finished speaking, he poured a glass of water and pushed it over.

Xun took it with both hands and handed it to his mouth. Before he could drink it, two lines of tears that had been enduring in his eyes for a long time poured out, slid into the cup, and mixed it with the green tea.

He has already revealed the history of Confucianism, the suffering and struggles of the party members, and those shameful conspiracies.

Not only Wang Fen, Chen Yi and others tried to rob Emperor Xiaoling, but also the party members intentionally or unintentionally guided and utilized Zhang Jiao. Compared with the former, the latter was the real conspiracy, which lasted for more than ten years and involved

To hundreds of people.

The one who directly contacted Hexiang was his uncle Xun Shuang.

Xun Shuang improved and supplemented the "Taiping Jing", which made Zhang Jiao believe it without doubt, and finally embarked on the road of changing dynasties with force, thus providing an opportunity for the party members to lift the ban.

This is a fact that he has always tried his best to conceal, for the sake of not only Xun Shuang, but also countless party members who have been imprisoned.

Knowing that I sin against me is the only one who knows that I am guilty of my life.

"Although Mr. Xun's argument is not biased, I am still very pleased with this courage to face the past." Liu Xie said with three points of pity: "A philosopher once said that only a true warrior can face it."

Dare to face the blood of the miserable life. There is no perfect saint in this world, and no one can achieve success without being stained with dust."

"What Your Majesty said is very much." Xun Ren felt warm in his heart, put down his cup, and bowed to thank him.

The emperor's words are not only a personal recognition of him, but to some extent, they can also be regarded as an recognition of all party members.

Given the position of both sides, he did not expect the emperor to have any good comments on the party members, nor did he expect the emperor to correct the party members.

He was already satisfied to be able to recognize the courage of the party members.

"Where is Chen Yi?"

"After the Party and the Forbidden City were lifted, he had been the Prime Minister of Lu for several days. Later, because of his involvement with Wang Fen, he went home to live in seclusion. I don't know where it is."

"Okay." Liu Xie didn't believe Xun or had no clues, but he didn't plan to pursue this matter. So what can I do to find Chen Yi? Will I kill him? Party members are not afraid of death, killing him will only leave him behind.

Unnecessary stigma. "You will write it just now and hand it over to Lantai as a document for future history. As for right and wrong, merit and demerit, let it be left to future generations. It is difficult for the parties involved to have a fair position."

Xun Or was stunned for a moment, raised his head in surprise, looked at Liu Xie, and then lowered his head again.

"only."

"Do you know what happened to summon the Three Dukes to Wancheng this time?"

Xun may shake his head. "I dare not take it lightly."

"The person who speaks is innocent, you might as well guess now."

"Yi." Xun Or picked up the teacup, took two sips of tea, and put it down again. "I took the liberty that it was an election adjustment, the capital was determined and the development of Jiangnan."

Liu Xie laughed silently.

Xun or Xun or said that he didn't dare to think about it, but his heart was like a mirror.

However, no matter how smart you are, you are still limited by your vision and you can't guess my level.

This is the advantage of dimension.

You always regard me as an emperor, based on your own interests, and at most the long-term interests of the court, but you don’t know that I am not just an emperor, but I stand higher and see further. The century-old plan is just the beginning.
