Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 319

"You want Zhang Budo to supervise the ministers for you, right?"

Empress Lu raised her head slowly, her face still very calm.

Liu Chang was not at all surprised that she could guess, "Yeah, when I left, I specially left Zhang Shizhi to let him see the ministers, if he just rests for a whole month and starts to work later, then he will I won't hand over the edict to Zhang Budo, if after a whole month, I still neglect government affairs, then there will be a big surprise to welcome the ministers."

"The ministers in the DPRK and the middle are used to being sloppy, and my mother always said that I was eager for quick success and instant profit, but I didn't rush it. These people can't do one thing all year round. The temples are all the same as this Liang Guo. They always think that they followed Ah before. When the father fights, he has already completed all the things, and now you can enjoy it."

"If you want to enjoy it, you can completely resign from office and stay at home, and take care of your life, why should you hold on to power and do nothing?"

"Zhou Chang is good in everything, but he is too sincere. He is a good worker, but when the ministers complain to him and say some unpleasant things, this fellow believes it. Every time I issue a decree, There are many more, but it is not piled up on one person, there are many divisions of labor in the temple.”

Empress Lu glanced at him, "But they are still very tired."

"Tired? The people who are farming are not tired? The craftsmen of Shangfang are not tired? Are the soldiers who go to war? Are the widowers only letting them take three or four hours to work, and they shouted that they were tired. In the temple, apart from Chen Ping and Zhou Chang, there were others. Who can work in the mansion for more than four hours? Eat and drink all day long, so you should go to work!"

"What's more, this time I also gave them a chance to let them rest for a while. However, mother, I can guarantee that after I leave, these guys will definitely ignore their affairs, even at this moment Zhang Wusu It's probably already started."

Empress Lu did not deny these words again, "Then your edict was issued before you took me, or after you took me?"

"Hahaha, I originally planned to let Zhang Shizhi send the edict directly to you, with you as the main, and he and Budo as the supplements, but after taking you away, Zhang Budo is the main, Zhang Let it go.”

Liu Chang ate a few mouthfuls of meat and bared his teeth as he was scalded, "It is said that the widow is eager for quick success and sooner or later loses the country, and also persuades the widow to take the King of Qin as a warning, but which of the decrees issued by the widow will make the people tired? Going on the road requires the people to do it, and the rest are things that the officials can do. The few people think that running the country is to let the people relax and the officials to get busy!"

"Every king has his own way of governing the country. Your way of governing the country is different."

At this moment, in a courtyard in Chang'an, the ministers were singing, drinking and dancing, quite happy.

The ministers were taken aback when Zhang Wuxuan led someone to rush in.

Then someone looked at Zhang Budo angrily, and asked rudely, "I didn't invite you to the banquet, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Budo grinned, "I have been ordered by the great king to supervise the ministers and the great men to prohibit gatherings and drinking. Some ministers have meritorious deeds and hold a banquet, and the banquet shall not exceed one day. You gather to drink and neglect government affairs. The banquet will last more than four days. , negligent, violating the law.”

Zhang Budo lowered his voice, and his tone became more and more fierce. At this moment, many ministers seemed to wake up from the wine.

"Your Majesty's decree??"

"Is it wrong for the imperial censor to supervise the ministers under the king's order?"

The minister who was still questioning Zhang Budo was full of smiles at the moment. Zhang Budo, the third prince, is the third prince who is the least popular among the ministers and has the least status. These ministers who think they are the same as Liuhou's generation , I never took this three masters in my eyes at all, and without the support of the king, Zhang Budo had little right to speak in the temple, and was crushed by Zhou Chang, Zhaoping and the others, even Jiuqing could crush him. his head.

However, once the unpopular third prince had the full support of the king, the ministers would not have any courage to oppose him.

"Zhang Gong is right, we will withdraw the banquet!"

"Mr. Zhang, let's go to work here."

The ministers stood up one after another, their faces a little uneasy. What they couldn't bear was not the pressure of work, but the harsh atmosphere. Those leaders were less and less restricted, and they could even walk around at will. But more and more, all kinds of supervision, this is what makes them most dissatisfied, and it is also the best embodiment of the king's "hurry for quick success".

Seeing everyone stand up and sway.

Zhang Budo laughed again, "It's not that easy. You haven't sobered up yet, how can you deal with a major event? Why don't you sober up first?"

"Come on!"

"Send the princes to Tingwei to sober up!"

Zhang Budo gave an order, and immediately a large number of embroidered clothes rushed in. Seeing embroidered clothes coming, these ministers did not even dare to resist the last one, and some people shouted, "Zhang Budo! You just wait. !!"

Zhang Budo snorted coldly, turned around and left. He was going to pick up people at other ministers' banquets.

One day, with the power in hand, I will kill all the unfaithful dogs in the world!

Zhang Budo led the embroidered clothes and arrested people around Chang'an, which caused a huge sensation, but Zhang Budo was not worried at all. When he was caught at night, the other ministers who heard the news had already returned to their posts. Without a doubt, no one else will be caught.

When Zhang Budo came to Tingwei's prison proudly, the prison was already full, and officials rushed out to greet him.

"Don't let them sit idle, take the documents they are going to work on to the court officials, distribute them to them, and let them do things in the prison! Also, if the little officials of the prefectures ask them to do things, let them in, But don’t give away food, let them go out immediately after they’re done!”

The official said immediately: "Wei!"

Zhang Budo looked around and asked suspiciously, "Where is Wang Tianqi?"

"Oh, Tingwei is inside. The second batch went in."

"Hmph, don't let him miss Tingwei!"

Zhang Budo turned around and left.

The ministers began to work in the prison, and the Tingwei prison instantly turned into a temple. The ministers never thought that Zhang Wusu would bring things in. The most embarrassing one was probably Wang Tianqi, so he squatted in the group. Among the ministers, the officials guarding him had to report to him about the situation of Tingwei. Wang Tianqi rubbed his forehead, knowing that he would not go to the banquet.

Obviously, Zhang Budo is even more impersonal than King Tang. Judging by what he means, he doesn't think about getting out of prison if he doesn't finish the things that have been delayed during this period of time.

The crowd just yelled, but there was nothing they could do.

"Come here, hand this watch to Zhisu Nei Shi!"

Someone stretched out a hand from the prison, and immediately an official trotted over, took the playing watch and ran all the way to the next cell, handing over the things.

Tingwei's prison has not been so lively for a long time. The officials of Tingwei did not dare to embarrass these people. They specially recruited papers, candles, pen and ink for them, and gave them some food in private. After all, Tingwei himself was inside. Why? It also has to be taken care of.

Here, the efficiency of doing things is really high. The things that have accumulated in these days have been quickly resolved. Everyone is exchanging opinions and busy. When they are tired, they stop and curse for a while.

When Zhang Wuxuan learned about the situation in Tingwei's prison, he was satisfied.

Zhang Shizhi was a little worried, "Eunuch Zhang, you put all the ministers in jail for office. Is it too much?"

"Look at how diligent they are now? It's because His Majesty is too kind that they have developed such a habit. If I had come to be the prime minister earlier."

Zhang Wusu said something, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Where is Zhou Chang Zhaoping them?"

"It seems that they are all in Zhou Xiangfu."

"Hehe, they still dare to gather? Just take this opportunity to clean up all of them!"

Zhang Budo grinned.

Zhang Shizhi hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Zhang!! Impossible! Chancellor Zhou, Chancellor Zhao, Marquis Chen and the others never attended the banquet or delayed important matters. You can't arrest them for no reason!"

"They don't have a banquet now. Could it be that they won't have a banquet in the future? I think they will commit crimes sooner or later, so it's better to arrest them now!"

"I will never allow it!"

"Come on, take this fellow to me to Tingwei's prison!"

Zhang Shizhi was stunned, and suddenly shouted: "Are you going to rebel?! The king asked you to supervise the ministers, but he didn't ask you to arrest the third prince!!"

"As a minister, I naturally want to share the king's worries! If he didn't order it, shouldn't I do it?"

"Chang, what you think is very good, but... have you ever thought that with Zhang Budo's character, you have gained such power, I'm afraid that you will fight with Zhou Chang and the others forever."

Empress Lu gently supported Liu An's back and asked softly as he watched Liu An fall asleep.

Liu Chang looked at An enviously, muttered a few words, and then said, "Don't worry, he can't do great things."

"Oh?"

"If Zhang Budo can't control himself, he won't be any better than those ministers."

Liu Chang glanced at Liu An again, and said displeasedly, "This fellow is not ashamed, he is so old, and he wants to be stroked by his mother to fall asleep!"

"He's not yet ten years old, unlike a certain person. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he wanted me to stroke his back and coax him to sleep."

"Cough, mummy, this Shuzi is going to do big things in the future, you can't spoil him."

"Anyone can say this, but you are not qualified to say it."

"Oh."

Empress Lu looked at the sleeping Ann tenderly, and said, "These three Shuzi are all going to do big things."

"No, they also told me about their aspirations. The three of them have the same aspirations, that is, they want to send me away and worship me. Great aspirations, only Mo Dun and Ji Conge have such aspirations, listen. I want to send them away first!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Looking at the three of them, I feel that the big man is going to perish in the future. These Shuzi are not good, not good."

Liu Chang shook his head.

"Chang, if you're going to Wu country, I'd better stay here. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will delay you too long."

"Also, the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, and it's not bad for my mother to take care of her body here."

Liu Chang nodded. My mother has improved a lot since she left Chang'an. Now I don't even need a cane most of the time. There are so many close relatives here. Let her stay here with her relatives and stay a little longer. it is good.

"Mom, you can stay if you want, but ah. Just don't wait for Liang to die when I come back."

"Although King Liang is mediocre, he has no major sins."

"Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow, then Anche will stay here, the speed is too slow"

Zhang Budo was extremely proud at this moment, and he led people into Zhou Chang's mansion.

When he rushed into the study, a group of people were sitting here discussing matters.

Seeing Zhang Budo who broke in, they all frowned.

Zhang Budo didn't even look at them, "Someone! Take them all away!"

"Mr. Zhang is so majestic."

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes and said softly.

Zhang Budo was shocked and looked closely. It turned out that my grandfather was also among the ministers. He was sitting next to Chen Ping at the moment. Ping, Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Chai Wu, and Liu Jing were just a few people.

At this moment, they were all staring straight at Zhang Budo. Under the gaze of these people, Zhang Budo suddenly felt a little terrified.

"Father, gentlemen, I am here on the orders of the king."

"Are you here to catch me?"

Han Xin stood up and looked at Zhang Budo gently.

"Haha, joking, joking, just to visit you."

"Bring the edict to me to see?"

Zhang Budo hurriedly called Liu Zhang and asked him to show the edict to these people. Zhou Chang looked at it for a moment and asked, "I asked you to supervise the ministers and the general affairs, but did you ever arrest them arbitrarily? ?"

"No never."

Zhou Chang waved his hand, "Using Wang Ling without order is a big crime! Come on, take this fellow to the Tingwei prison! Let him monitor the ministers well in the prison!"

"I have an imperial edict!!"

"I am the lover of the king!!"

"let me go!"

"I've made great deeds for Dahan~~~"

Embroidered Yi immediately dragged Zhang Budo away. After he left, Zhaoping laughed, "This fellow is lawless, he wants to kill us all."

Zhang Liang shook his head, "It's too reckless, I think he's here to persecute Duke Zhou and Duke Zhao, but I don't know that we are all here, Shuzi is immoral, and I hope you don't blame me."

"Is this really your own son?"

Han Xin asked suspiciously.

Zhang Liang just shook his head, unable to say anything.

Zhou Chang said with a smile: "Liuhou, Wuhan Budo has done a good job. During these days, I urged several times that these ministers agreed openly and continued to have fun in secret, just in time, let Budo come to clean up them well. Let's keep talking about business."

"He helped Zhou Xiang do things that Zhou Xiang dared not do."

Chen Ping said.

As the prime minister of the state, Zhou Chang is the button between the minister and the king. To safeguard the interests of both parties, he cannot completely turn to either side. Therefore, when dealing with ministers, Zhou Chang is still somewhat restrained, but Zhang Budo is a very good solution. this problem.

"The crusade against the Western Regions that the captain said is not very ripe now."

"I think it is possible to take the opportunity to solve the problems of Chidao and Tuntian."

"Just now, Duke Liu also said that contracting to the wealthy family will strengthen the influence of the wealthy family on the region. We still have to think of a safe way."

Just as they were discussing important matters, Zhang Budo came to Tingwei's prison.

The ministers welcomed him very eagerly, clapped their hands and applauded, Zhang Budo had a straight face, and was very dissatisfied with Liu Zhang who "betrayed" him. However, Liu Zhang had no choice. Before Liu Chang left, he asked Zhou Chang to come. He was in charge of everything, and told Liu Zhang that if there was a dispute between Zhang Budo and Zhou Chang, he would listen to Zhou Chang!
Perhaps Liu Chang had long expected that this fellow would deliberately embarrass Zhou Chang and the others, and deliberately left behind. If Zhang Budo just wanted to deal with the ministers with peace of mind, then it would be fine, but if Zhang Budo could not think about it, he would provoke Zhou Chang and the others. The bigwigs who make decisions on state affairs in place of Liu Chang, then seek more blessings for themselves!
Zhang Budo sat in the prison, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.

Traitors are rampant.

"Crack~~"

Someone suddenly patted Zhang Budo on the back of the head, Zhang Budo was furious and turned around, "Who? Who is it?!"

Zhang Budo had no way to continue complaining here, so he had no choice but to start his office, monitoring the ministers in the prison, and urging them to work.

But gradually, Zhang Budo realized that he seemed to be at a loss.

After these people finished their work, they were released by the officials. As for Zhang Buxuan, he had to be monitored until the last person had finished their work before they could go out.

After Zhang Budo made such a fuss, the ministers did not dare to hold banquets for fun, and continued to work under the leadership of Zhou Chang. Chang'an was as usual. , has completely come to the same level as Guo Kai of Zhao State in the past and Qi State's Housheng.

At the same time, Liu Chang also left Liang Guo, and after leaving the Queen Mother here, Liu Chang's speed was much faster.

Along the road, officials can be seen measuring the local speed, and in some places, people have begun to mobilize people to make repairs.

It seems that those people in the temple have finally started to work.

Liu Chang inspected the road and was overjoyed. In this way, the road will be repaired to Zhao Tuo's door sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, this is the local household registration form you want"

Attendant Zhang Qing handed the organized table describing the local situation to Chang Liu. Chang Liu was very satisfied and read it carefully. In recent years, the development of various places has been very fast, especially when there is sufficient arable land. In areas with good climate and few disasters, many people from other places have been welcomed.

"Zhang Qing, if the officials in the temple are as efficient as you, it would be great!"

"I dare not compare myself with the princes."

Zhang Qing hurriedly replied.

Liu Chang looked at Lu Lu on the side, "The widow found out that the attendants are faster than the ministers in the court. Those ministers in the court have too many ideas. If this goes on, the widow will have to Set up various positions in the palace, let these eunuchs hold important positions, and reuse them!"

Lu Lu was taken aback, frowned, glanced at Zhang Qing, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how can these servants be reused?"

"Why not? They don't have any ambitions, they don't covet beauty, and they work hard. How wonderful. When the widow returns this time, they plan to set up a few institutions to let the attendants take over and reuse these people!"

When Liu Chang spoke like this, he was Lao Huanjun.

Lu Lu dismissed it, "The ministers will definitely be reluctant to use eunuchs heavily. Your Majesty can't forget Zhao Gaoyu, the Qin Zhi."

Liu Chang stroked his beard, "What you said makes sense."

Lu Lu jokingly said: "It's better to have the king give the order. In the future, those who want to become officials must be castrated. This way, maybe they can concentrate on their work and stop thinking about it."

"Hahaha, you rascal!"

"Give the widow a thousand dollars!"

"Why?"

"If you don't give it to the widow, tell the ministers about your proposal!"

ps: I'm afraid this hand won't get better. It hurts again this morning. It seems that I can only wait for half a year and a year to cultivate after I finish writing.
