my brother champion

Half lying on the couch, with your back to them reading a book?

This can be said to be a great humiliation in the Han Dynasty.

San Changshi visited, even if Zhang Tang drove people away directly, it would be better than this kind of behavior.

After the operation of Doctor Yushi!
Zhu Maichen, Wang Chao, and Bian Tong, the three old people, blushed, feeling like they wanted to curse.

"Mr. Zhang, I am waiting to visit you out of respect. Why do you treat us like this?" Bian Tong said suppressing the anger in his heart.

Actually.

The three of them visited Zhang Tang because they felt that Zhang Tang had the most hope of becoming the prime minister.

But all three looked down on Zhang Tang from the bottom of their hearts.

Because Zhang Tang's official position was not even as high as the three of them before he took office as the Yushi doctor.At that time, they didn't give Zhang Tang any good looks.

Now that Zhang Tang deliberately treated the three of them with the same attitude, the three of them felt that it was impossible.

Facing Bian Tong's question, Zhang Tang finally snorted softly, and said, "What is there for the three of you to visit? The old man always likes to be quiet. If there is nothing wrong, the three of you please go out quickly and don't disturb the old man." Read the books!"

Hearing this, Wang Chao became short-tempered and said, "You"

however.

But he was grabbed by Zhu Maichen next to him and held back.

finally.

Zhu Maichen still said: "Mr. Zhang, I will come to congratulate you, and you will soon become prime minister. If you don't give up, I will wait for you in the best restaurant in Chang'an City and hold a banquet for you."

Zhu Maichen hadn't finished speaking.

Zhang Tang directly threw the book over, and scolded: "Shut up, you are a follower of power, stop talking nonsense. The prime minister is appointed by His Majesty, and His Majesty hasn't announced it yet. What are you waiting here to assume without authorization?"

"Humph!"

"An Shi, send them out!"

After being scolded, Bian Tong stared at Zhang Tang immediately, and said, "Hey, Zhang Tang, you are already old, why, don't you know what to do?"

Zhang Tang, the official censor, glared at Bian Tong immediately, and said angrily, "I didn't see what's good about the three of you, so I left quickly. Do I have to beat you out with a broom?"

At this moment.

Zhang Anshi ran in immediately after hearing Zhang Tang's words.

Then he made a gesture of invitation to the three chiefs, and said, "Three chiefs, please leave!"

"Since my father doesn't want to see you."

"Why do you bother to be looked down upon here and make fun of yourself?"

When Wang Chao heard this, he immediately snorted, "The old ones have no rules, and the young ones have no manners. Hmph, people from humble backgrounds really stink."

Zhang Tang's background is not good.

His father was just a prison supervisor.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tang was still looked down upon by these people all the way to being a doctor of imperial history.

But then again.

Anyway, Zhang Tang's father was still an official in the prison, so Zhu Maichen was born as a commoner.

Why is he not looked down upon?
Simple, because he is flattering and often invites guests to the house for dinner, those people will not say anything.

Zhang Tang is different.

As a royal official, although he is a cruel official, he is honest.

No one cares except serving His Majesty.

Seeing what Wang Changshi said, Zhang Tang immediately said: "An Shi, go get the broom, because father wants to drive these three pickled things out."

"it is good."

The gentle and jade-like Zhang Anshi couldn't help feeling a little disgusted with these three people, and immediately went to the yard to get a broom.

Seeing this, San Changshi was so frightened that he ran out of Zhangtang's house.

While running, he said: "It's really insulting to the gentlemen, insulting to the gentlemen. How can such a person be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!"

The three of them ran fast.

Zhang Tang, who was holding a broom, still failed to catch up with the three of them. Standing at the door, seeing San Changshi leave, he immediately said: "Three unlucky guys, remember, I don't welcome you, please come!"

The words fall.

Then he closed the tattered mansion door.

At this time, Zhang Anshi said: "Father, don't be angry, these three people are people who follow others, it's not worth getting angry about them."

heard.

Zhang Tang laughed, handed the broom to Zhang Anshi, and said, "Why are you angry, my father is not only not angry today, but also very happy."

"An Shi, go and buy some meat."

"Today, we should have a good meal."

Zhang Anshi took the broom and asked, "Father, these three people disturbed your mood today, why are you happy?"

Zhang Tang said with a smile: "You see, what is the broom that Father took today?"

"Didn't you drive those three people away?" Zhang Anshi asked suspiciously.

Zhang Tang shook his head and said, "No, this is called sweeping their face. Go, buy some meat back."

"Oh."

Zhang Anshi nodded, and then took some money from the Yushi doctor Zhang Tang Kou Kou Suosuo.

After counting.

Zhang Anshi looked at his father again, and said awkwardly, "Father, the money is not enough."

"Not enough? Didn't you give so much last time!" Zhang Tang asked.

Zhang Anshi said embarrassingly: "The price of meat has risen, and you can't buy much meat with this money."

Zhang Tang shook his head and said, "Then buy less."

"Okay, let's go."

"I need to read some books, too. There are so many things the Prime Minister needs to know!"

"."

Two days later, in Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had been resting for several days, finally held another court meeting.

The Waichaohui is a large-scale meeting, and most of the people involved are Sangong Jiuqing, etc. Anyway, the salary is not less than two thousand stones per year.

As for the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called the court meeting this time, the officials in the court were very clear.

That is when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to announce the position of the prime minister.

Prime Minister.

High position, great power.

For the imperial power, such powerful officials would pose a threat.

The imperial power wants to be strong.

Then the power of the prime minister must be weakened.

and so.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty maintained a suppressive attitude towards every prime minister.

But suppression is suppression, and after the position of prime minister becomes vacant, new officials still have to be elected to take office.

Otherwise, there will be problems in the entire operation of the Han Dynasty.

at this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at the officials in the palace, and said lightly: "These days, I have listened to the opinions of all the officials and thought about it for a long time."

"Finally, we have a choice in choosing the prime minister."

"I think Zhuang Qingzhai, Yushi Zhongcheng, is very suitable for this position. What do you think?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

Some officials originally opened their mouths to congratulate Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, but when they heard His Majesty's words, they opened their mouths and were at a loss.

As for Zhang Tang, who was about to accept the position of prime minister, his expression also changed.

But he didn't speak.

At this time.

Grand servant Sun He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have doubts. For the position of Prime Minister, Zhang Tang, the official censor, is also quite suitable. Why don't your majesty consider Zhang Yushi?"

Gongsun He's wife is the sister of Queen Wei Zifu.

He has a middle status in Jiuqing, but his words still carry weight.

Hearing what Gongsun He said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was not only not angry, but also had a little smile on his face, saying: "I have thought about Zhang Yushi's words."

"But it's a pity."

"He has no military merits, and his memory is not enough to be promoted to Marquis."

"Didn't you three lords say that the position of prime minister must be matched by a marquis!"

"because this."

"I've thought about it for a long time, and finally realized that only Marquis Zhuang Qingdi of Wuqiang is suitable."

After a while.

Gongsun He didn't say anything more, he knew that if he said it himself, His Majesty might hate him.

But Gongsun He didn't speak.

The rest of the officials in the court naturally dare not say any inappropriate words.

a time.

No official in the court dared to say anything.

No one knows what Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty did. Whoever he wants to be the prime minister can take office even if he doesn't have a marquis.

If Your Majesty does not want anyone to be the prime minister.

That is, the emperor's uncle came, and it was useless.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw that all the officials remained silent, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile.

After glancing at Zhang Tang, he turned his gaze to Zhuang Qingzhai and said, "Since you are silent, it seems that there is no objection."

"That's good, Prince Young Fu Zhuang Qingdi."

"If you are willing, from today onwards, you will be the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty."

A word falls.

In fact, the candidate for the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, has been directly finalized.

Zhuang Qingzhai stood up, knelt down on the ground, and said bluntly: "My minister, Zhuang Qingzhai, thank you for your majesty's kindness, I will dedicate myself to the great man with my old age!"

And at the same time.

Zhang Tang, the imperial historian who was originally the most hopeful, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai behind him from the corner of his eye.

now.

If eyes can kill.

Then Zhuang Qingzhai must have become a corpse lying on the ground.

After finalizing the candidate for the prime minister.

The main affairs of this court meeting were basically gone. In the later period, the Jiuqings reported some political affairs without pain.

After the report was over, the meeting was hastily ended.

All the ministers left Weiyang Palace one by one.

In the Han Dynasty, the laws were not as strict as those in the Qin Dynasty, but the hierarchy was still very clear.

Even exit.

The prime minister should also take the lead, and the other two men will leave.

Of course.

The emperor is different. The emperor can leave if he wants to, and stay if he wants to.Sometimes they will stay in the palace, dismiss the rest of the officials first, and leave some people alone to explain things.

At this time, Zhang Tang was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Qingzhai's acceptance of the prime minister's position without giving up.

But His Majesty has ordered.

It is an established fact that the other party has become the prime minister, so he can only leave behind the prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai.

After leaving the palace.

The officials of Jiuqing in the court congratulated Zhuang Qingzhai one after another, and almost blocked the way out of the palace.

This situation.

It happened to Zhang Tang a few days ago.

pity.

At this time, there was no one around Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, to speak for him.

After Zhuang Qingdi thanked these officials one by one, only a few people like San Changshi surrounded Zhuang Qingdi.

At this moment.

The third long history dared to go up to congratulate.

Among them, Zhu Maichen spoke first and said, "Congratulations to Marquis Wu Qiang Gaosheng!"

But Bian Tong said flatteringly: "Hey, Brother Maichen is not a good name, what is it called Marquis Wu Qiang, you should call it, Prime Minister Zhuang!"

The rest of the dynasty immediately echoed and said: "Zhu Changshi said something wrong and should be punished. Prime Minister Zhuang, I think it's better to let him be the host, and set up a banquet in the Le Restaurant here to celebrate you, how about it?" "

Zhuang Qingzhai immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at the dynasty, and asked doubtfully, "Have a banquet?"

Hearing the words, the third chief Shi immediately understood and said with a smile: "Ah, yes, yes, the prime minister is the head of all officials, how can a table of banquets be enough?"

"Prime Minister Zhuang told me about a day, that day, our third chief history took over the Le Restaurant here."

"What do you think Prime Minister Zhuang wants?"

heard.

Zhuang Qingzhai also smiled lightly, and said: "Hey, how can you let the three colleagues spend money. The three are capable officers in the prime minister's house, and the prime minister has just taken office. In the future, I still need to ask the three colleagues for advice!"

Third Chief Shi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't dare, Prime Minister Zhuang, you are too polite."

When several people were complimenting each other, Zhang Tang, the imperial censor who had been walking behind, couldn't stand it any longer. He snorted coldly, quickened his pace, and walked out of the palace.

Because of the hum.

Naturally, Zhuang Qingzhai and the others noticed the dark-faced Zhang Tang.

And because of being humiliated by Zhang Tang, San Changshi immediately began to ridicule him after seeing him.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhang? Why is his face so ugly?"

"Ugly? What is ugly? Did you forget that Zhang Gong didn't have a red face when he first came to court?"

"Yes yes yes!"

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is actually the most likely to be named prime minister by His Majesty."

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity"

The three of them were all mocking and laughing at Zhang Gong being tricked by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

And Zhang Tang, as the imperial censor, ignored the three people's words and continued to walk forward.

At this moment.

Zhuang Qingdi couldn't take it anymore.

Although he was named prime minister by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he didn't even think about having conflicts with Zhang Tang, the imperial historian.

Immediately said: "Presumptuous, why do the three of you talk like this, Zhang Gong is the doctor of the imperial history, how can you wait to ridicule!"

The words fall.

He caught up with Zhang Tang again, and said, "Don't care about Zhang Yushi. The truth is that he is the same as you. We should work together to help His Majesty."

Zhang Tang glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai coldly, and said, "Are you joking, old man?"

Zhuang Qingzhai immediately said: "No, no, there is absolutely no such meaning."

"Hmph." Zhang Tang snorted, and then glanced at the three senior officials behind him.

He didn't say anything more, and left directly with a dark face.

And his cold snort also heralded the beginning of a new round of court struggle between the prime minister and the imperial censor.

As for the news of Zhuang Qingzhai's appointment as Prime Minister, it was already spread in Chang'an City that day.

Zhang Tang, the official censor, became a joke among the rich and powerful in Chang'an City.

Although it is in the position of the three princes, its status is extremely high.

But those rich and powerful, who dare not say anything in front of them, are not so polite behind their backs.

Now that the matter has spread throughout Chang'an City, Huo Guang, as Marquis of Bo Lu, naturally also learned about it.

even.

After he heard the news, he also bought some summer fruits and took them to visit Zhang Tang.

At the same time, he ordered people to bring some ice cubes from the ice cellar, so that they can make iced fruits to eat.

Arriving at the mansion of Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, Huo Guang knocked on the door of Zhang Tang's mansion. Seeing that it was Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi said happily, "Bo Lu Hou, wait a moment, I'll go and tell my father."

"it is good."

Huo Guang smiled and nodded.

At this moment.

Zhang Anshi had already run into the house, knocked on Zhang Tang's door, and said, "Father, Marquis Bo Lu came to see you with a gift."

However, Zhang Tang was in a very bad mood, and said angrily, "What is this kid doing here to see the old man? Hmph, no see!"

However, the voice just fell.

Outside.

Huo Guang's voice had already sounded, and he said: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, I have already come in, boy." (End of this chapter)
