Cui Yan praised Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's actions to lead troops into the palace to massacre eunuchs during the Luoyang Rebellion in the late years of the previous dynasty.

He thought that it was a way to promote the righteousness of the world, and eunuchs should die.

In private, he also made a big talk on this matter, believing that although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were willing to usurp the rebellion, their behavior of eliminating harm to the country was correct, and things like eunuchs should not exist.

As a result, after Guo Peng ascended the throne and became emperor, he created the Tenth Inner Court Prison in just a few months.

The establishment of the Ten Inner Court Prison expanded the number of eunuchs from the initial 300 in the first year of Yande to the current 1,800 in the current 1,800 in the number.

These eunuchs took all the jobs in the inner court and isolated the outer court from the inner court, making the outer court unable to figure out what happened in the inner court.

Looking back now, some scholars have already reminisced.

They realized that this was clearly the emperor's planned and organized action in order to rebuild the eunuch system.

The eunuch group that once disappeared was even more large, organized, and responsible for more things than before.

But scholars were not very good at opposing it.

Because the eunuchs are basically responsible for the emperor's own affairs at present, and are considered the emperor's family affairs. Eunuchs are essentially the emperor's family slaves. If the slaves are responsible for the family affairs, no one can say that they are not.

I can only say that at the beginning, everyone was not alert and did not react. The emperor seized the opportunity and brought the eunuch back to the court, which made everyone very passive now.

Now it is difficult for the outer court to learn about the inner court from various channels, and the news about the inner court has been almost blocked.

It is difficult for everyone to know what the emperor is doing in daily life, what measures and what ideas he has. Even if he knows, it is not real-time news, but the multi-handed news that he has changed hands several times. It is not valuable and the information channels are very blocked.

This is very unfavorable for everyone who is in the ups and downs of the officialdom.

It was like this time, the emperor suddenly attacked, and no one knew how a debate about whether the commercial tax was levied to this point, which made everyone feel in danger, and even the cabinet was involved and could not get out.

Cui Yan hated these eunuchs and these eunuchs, believing that giving them a face was an obligation of a scholar.

But at this moment, he was guilty, worried, afraid, and could no longer act like a tough attitude.

So Su Yuan felt very happy.

As the eunuch around Guo Peng, the eunuch group was respectful to him, but scholars always looked at him, and he had to serve him carefully, and he felt very unhappy.

We are slaves, and serving the head and emperor is the duty. What is the purpose of serving you?

What are you?

Anger accumulated in his heart, and today he finally had a window to vent, and he didn't know how happy he was.

Anyway, it's very cool.

Back in the study of Qinzheng Hall, Su Yuan reported Cui Yan's actions to Guo Peng.

"He didn't show you a look this time?"

Guo Peng asked Su Yuan with a smile while doing a curl.

Su Yuan smiled bitterly.

"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, this time, Cui Shangshu was not as domineering as usual, and he was arrogant and called Lao Nu a little flattered. In the past, the people in the prison were really afraid of going to the Ministry of Rites. Any time they went to the Ministry of Rites would have to suffer a lot of torture."

Guo Peng lay on the cushion and took a deep breath, then slowly sat up and put on his clothes.

"You are often angry with him?"

"Old slave...I'm used to it."

Su Yuan looked aggrieved.

Guo Peng smiled coldly.

"It is normal for him to be disrespectful to you, because you are not a human being in his eyes, and you are not even a human being. If he is kind to you, how can he show his nobility?"

The smile on Su Yuan's face froze.

"What Your Majesty said is that an eunuch like Lao Nu cannot be humane and will not have any offspring. If he leaves power, he cannot even enter the ancestral grave after he dies. He is just a lonely ghost. In the eyes of Shangshu Cui, Lao Nu is naturally not a human being, but just a dirty thing that cannot be put on the table."

"Store a dirty thing by my side, is it because you have a problem, me, or he has a problem? Could it be that I don't know if I have a dirty thing every day?"

Guo Peng looked at Su Yuan with a smile.

"His Majesty……"

Su Yuan lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.

"Okay, call him in."

Guo Peng put on his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Give me instructions and prepare hot water for me, I want to take a shower."

"Abide by the order."

Su Yuan took the order out, and soon, he brought Cui Yan back.

"Your Majesty, Cui Yan, apologize to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Cui Yan entered the study, he immediately knelt in front of Guo Peng and apologized to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng sat cross-legged on the cushion, holding a bowl of hot soup cooked by Cao Lan himself in his hand, and took a beautiful sip.

Well, it's still so delicious and mellow.

Alan's craftsmanship is getting better and better.

Seeing that the emperor was not moving, Cui Yan's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, I am, Cui Yan, apologize!"

Cui Yan increased his voice, kowtowed again, knocked his forehead to the ground, and made a thud.

Guo Peng looked up at Cui Yan's actions, and took another sip of hot soup.

"I thought Mr. Cui had any government affairs to report to Gu, but as soon as Mr. Cui came to Gu, he apologized to Gu. Gu was a little confused. Why did Mr. Cui kneel down when he came to Gu? "

Guo Peng said something unreasonably, which made Cui Yan's heart skip a beat.

It seems that Guo Peng is very angry.

He decided to go straight to the point.

"Cui Qu, a member of the Cui clan, is brave and bullied others with his power, interferes with the administration of the Ministry of Personnel. As an elder, I did not discipline my juniors well, which caused the government to be interfered with and the country suffered losses. I will be punished for my death. I will come to apologize to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to punish me for your crime!"

Cui Yan's voice was very loud.

"This is Cui Qu's business, not Cui Gong's business. Cui Qu doesn't come to apologize, but Cui Gong comes to apologize, which makes Gu very puzzled."

Guo Peng took another big sip of soup.

After that, Guo Peng still looks neither salty nor light, and it seems that the problem is quite serious.

Cui Yan swallowed and said in fear: "If it weren't for the lack of discipline, my nephews in my family would have bullied others by bullying others, this would not have happened. I felt extremely uneasy, so I came to apologize. Of course, Cui Qu would also come to apologize!"

Cui Yan pleaded guilty again, but what he got was still not Guo Peng's statement.

"Mr. Cui, you have always been known for your integrity and integrity. You have a very good reputation among the ministers and have made many political achievements. Therefore, you are highly respected by officials. Everyone respects you and thinks you are a trustworthy elder. Therefore, I appointed you as the Minister of Rites.

Gu still remembers that when he was just established, Gu spent a little more money on the expansion of the eunuchs in the inner court, and you suspected that Gu wanted to change his habit of living thrift and become extravagant. So you made several suggestions and reminded me that Gu should remember the reason for the fall of the Later Han Dynasty, right?"

Guo Peng raised his head and drank all the hot soup in the bowl.

"Yes, this is what the old minister has done, so the old minister is very..."

"It is precisely because of this that you bravely advise, strictly demand from Gu, and never hesitate. You will not retreat because Gu is the emperor and change your style. Therefore, Gu trusts you and values ​​you, lets you be the Minister of Rites, prepares for Wei Li, and also lets you preside over the re-examination of the Gongfu."

Guo Peng interrupted Cui Yan, which made Cui Yan very frightened.

Guo Peng's words are not over yet.

"I think you are just and you can do it justice, but your virtue does not seem to be inherited by your nephew. When you face such a thing, you don't seem to be as strict as you treat your nephew. Why are you so tolerant to your nephew?"

Guo Peng's voice became lower and lower, and his tone became colder and colder.

Cui Yan felt cold all over his body.

"I have all reached my hand to the Ministry of Personnel. If it were time for a while, would I have to reach my hand to Gu? What did he want to do? Do he want to be Dong Zhuo? Or Li Jue? Or Guo Si? Could he still want to turn Gu into former Emperor Xiaoxian of Han?"

Cui Yan's body began to tremble.

"Your Majesty...he...he is guilty..."

"He deserves to die!!!"
