As mentioned last time, after Liu Yi ascended the throne, he chose Shi Xian as his close attendant!
Liu Yi felt that Shi Xian had been in the palace for a very long time and had experience in dealing with various things, and That Shi Xian was originally a servant who had been castrated and sent to the palace in violation of the law, and unlike other humanistic scholars, he would have some relatives and old relations in the imperial court, and there would be no contact with the harem, so Liu Yi trusted him and had no defense against him.
What Liu Yi did not expect was that he had obviously made the mistake of empiricism, and he thought of Shi Xian too simply!
So the next thing that happened was a common scene in history!
After this comrade Shi Xian took the throne, he immediately showed his unusual and arrogant side.
He will exterminate all those in the court who he does not like, whoever offends or offends him in everything.
At that time, there was a polymath and very knowledgeable person in the imperial court, named Xiao Wangzhi.
Xiao Wangzhi was liu qian's assistant chancellor, and he was very prestigious in the imperial court, and Liu Yi also respected him very much.
Xiao Wangzhi's prestige was not only because he was erudite and insightful, but he was also a very upright person. During Liu Fuling's period, because of Huo Guang's monopoly, Xiao Wangzhi once raised objections in front of Huo Guang and asked him to treat the readers kindly, so Huo Guang hated Xiao Wangzhi and did not promote and hire him.
Until Liu Fuling died, when Liu Qian succeeded to the throne, Xiao Wangzhi felt that this was an opportunity for him to have a stage for great revenge. Because Xiao Wangzhi himself was particularly prestigious in the imperial court, and Liu Qian naturally knew this person, after all, his reputation had not faded after three dynasties.
Xiao Wangzhi seized the opportunity to give Liu Qian a fold, and his fold was mainly based on the shortcomings of the needle, and the most important thing was to point out the issue of the minister's monopoly.
It just so happened that this problem was also troubled by Liu Yuan, so he was very serious about Xiao Xiang. Later, after Huo Guang was convicted of raiding his home, Xiao Wangzhi became more and more reused.
Next, after Liu Yi ascended the throne, Xiao Wangzhi pointed out another drawback in the recital, that is, the issue of eunuch monopoly.
That's not good!
This question directly touched Shi Xian!
Xiao Wangzhi wrote very passionately, he expressed his dissatisfaction with eunuchs, he felt that important posts in the imperial court should be held by humanistic scholars, and there was no precedent for eunuchs to hold important posts from ancient times to the present.
Moreover, according to the ancient Zhou Li, the criminal is not on the side of the king.
What does that mean?
Those who have committed crimes and received criminal punishment should not remain with the emperor.
Most of these castrated eunuchs were punished by the palace for committing crimes and were finally sent to the court as slaves. And these six incomplete slaves actually gained the trust of the emperor and held the privy position in the imperial court.
That is to say, Shi Xian's political trial is not qualified enough, let alone a high-powered post!
At this point, Liu Yi felt a little embarrassed. He had to choose between Xiao Wangzhi and Shi Xian, and alienate the other.
It is like a man with an affair who has an affair with a wife and a lover, and breaks off a relationship with the other.
After some consideration, Liu Yi finally chose Shi Xian, and he kept Xiao Wangzhi's performance in the middle.
After this incident, Shi Xian became more and more unscrupulous.
With the emperor as a patron, what is there to be afraid of?
Next, Shi Xian gave full play to his talents and did a big job!
However, dear readers and friends, do not expect Shi Xian to be an enlightened person, do not expect him to be able to discuss the major affairs of the imperial court, and do not expect him to lead a social change.
The only thing he can do is manipulate right and wrong and exclude dissidents.
The so-called big dry one, but he only seized this opportunity and slandered Xiao Wangzhi fiercely in front of Liu Yi.
We'll talk about this next time!
