Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 328 This is the meaning of King Zhao
Except for Zhang Shizhi, who knew the inside story in advance, the rest of the ministers were all astonished at the moment.

Including the extremely clean Bank of China said, this Bank of China said that he was the one who coined the term "traitor" in history. Many people would think that this person was just rebelling because he was an entourage of the Han Dynasty. Excusable.

According to the concept at the time, firstly, eunuchs were only slaves, and even if they were officials, they were nothing more than the family slaves of the emperor. Second, the several marriages in the Han Dynasty had strong political significance, and their role was not important. It was just a blow to Shanyu, and there were not many people accompanying him. From the perspective of the time, he was an unfaithful and traitorous scum.

If you put this aside, but from the behavior recorded in the history books, what is the character of this person?
Judging from his many behaviors of extorting money, this man is quite greedy. Judging from the fact that he followed Chanyu's persuasion, discarded and tore up the good grain and cloth he got from the big man, and showed that the things of the big man are inferior to the Xiongnu, this is the case. The person is very cold-blooded and hardly considers the Xiongnu at the bottom. Judging from his debate with the envoys of the Han Dynasty, this person has absolutely no moral and ethical concepts.

At this moment, the Bank of China said that it never thought that after preparing for so long, this tyrant would actually behead himself like this. They obviously have no evidence of guilt!
When the tiger-like soldier dragged him out, the Bank of China said that he was finally scared, his legs were trembling, his brain was very bright, and he probably knew who could help him at this time. He looked at Zhou Chang, shouted: "I am innocent! How can I be punished without guilt?!"

Everyone did not speak, but Zhou Chang still stood up.

"Your Majesty, do not kill indiscriminately!"

Zhou Chang's expression was very solemn. Chang Liu had long expected that Zhou Chang would stand up. Before Zhou Chang could continue to speak, he looked at Zhang Shizhi, "Zhou Xiang is tired! Send him back to rest!" Zhang Shi Zhi nodded, and immediately led someone to see Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang was furious, and whipped his cane. The soldiers rushed up, some grabbed his hands, some grabbed his legs, not waiting for Zhou Chang. After speaking, he took him to the place quickly.

"Tyrant! Tyrant!"

In the distance, Zhou Chang's angry cry could be heard, and Zhang Budo couldn't help laughing, and then sternly said, "Your Majesty, I think Zhou Xiang is very ill, and he is starting to talk nonsense. , you can prepare a posthumous title for him."

"To shut up!"

"only."

Zhang Budo lowered his head, Liu Chang looked at the soldiers and waved again. When Zhou Chang was carried away, the Bank of China said that he had collapsed, and the only one who could save him had been taken away. gone, who else?He looked at the other three males, but the soldiers didn't give him another chance and dragged him away.

Zhaoping frowned and looked at Liu Chang suspiciously. As a Laoshe, Zhaoping knew his great king very well.

It is true that his own king is not a virtuous monarch, but he is definitely not a tyrant. Don't look at him clamoring for killing people all day long, but now, why has he really cooked and killed others?This kind of indiscriminate killing, the king can't do it, what is the purpose of the king?

Zhang Shizhi followed the man out.

The Bank of China said that it was dragged outside the door. Someone dug a pit. This pit was used to collect blood. The head of the Bank of China was pressed against the pit. A soldier drew a knife and gestured beside his neck. At the same time, Bank of China said that he only felt paralyzed all over. He wanted to escape from here, but he couldn't use any strength in his body. He was so soft that he couldn't even make a sound.

Zhang Shizhi came to supervise the execution, he stood in front of Bank of China said, sneering.

"I wanted to make some achievements, but I was destroyed by you. Selling ordnance, but subject to corporal punishment, this is a good time to come, okay."

"Zhang Gong! Zhang Gong!!"

The Bank of China said that it was like the drowning man suddenly grabbed the life-saving straw. He let out a sigh of relief and was finally able to speak. He shouted, "Duke Zhang, save me! I'm willing to confess! I'm willing to confess! Lord Zhang! You can take credit for this! Great credit! Great credit!!"

"Your Majesty wants to kill you, who dares to stop you?"

Zhang Shizhi sneered, and the soldier raised the knife in his hand high.

"Zhang Gong! Zhang Gong! Great credit, I know a lot of situations, I can report to you, I just ask you to save me! Please save me!!"

The Bank of China said that there is no moral concept that Han Chen has, and at the same time, he does not have the integrity they have. He is a person who is very afraid of death. Under the threat of death, he can't do anything else at all. He just wants to survive. Even if it's just one more day to live, one more day to live.

Zhang Shizhi raised his hand and told the soldiers to stop for a while.

The Bank of China said that it felt hope, and immediately said: "Zhang Gong! I am not the only one who sells ordnance from the arsenal. I know of more than [-] people. Apart from the arms dealers, I also know those who are involved in rebellion and those who want to rebel. I know a lot of Zhang Gong, you can become Jiuqing with such credit!"

Zhang Shizhi looked a little hesitant.

"Master Zhang!"

The Bank of China said that it kept begging for mercy and shared a lot of news. Zhang Shizhi seemed to have made a decision, "Okay, I'll go talk to the king, but the king has a grumpy personality."

"Zhang Gong, please tell the king, that the king's Shenwu was found out by the king, and I am convinced! But there are still many people in the city who are deceiving him and want to betray the king. They colluded secretly. I know their situation and can Arrest them all for the king and atone for their sins!"

Zhang Shizhi couldn't help but squinted his eyes. This fellow really understands the king. If the king really wants to kill him, just these words may really make the king temporarily let go of his murderous intention. The king hates the deception and betrayal of others the most. .Zhang Shizhi walked into Tingwei soon, but Liu Chang was proudly telling the ministers about his wise judgment. The case that Tingwei had not sorted out for more than ten days was sorted out by himself!

"Your Majesty, he confessed!"

"He said that there is still a lot of information to be disclosed to the king. According to what he said, there are still many traitors in Chang'an City."

Zhang Shizhi said seriously, Liu Chang's eyes lit up, and he said proudly: "How? The widow was not wrongly judged, right? This fellow is indeed guilty! The widow has always been clear about right and wrong, how can he wrong others?"

However, none of the officials said a word. In their opinion, the king's method was purely torture to extract a confession. Under the threat of death, the little official had to confess his guilt. Only Zhang Budo looked at Liu Chang excitedly and said with emotion: " Your Majesty is wise and wise, discerning treacherous and evil people, the wicked in the world have nowhere to hide in front of Your Majesty!"

"Then take it to check!"

Liu Chang waved his hand, and Zhang Shizhi took the lead.

Liu Chang didn't go to see the Bank of China again and said that he ordered the ministers to return individually, but he called Zhang Wuxuan, walked out of Tingwei, and got into the car. Zhang Wuxuan drove for him personally, and the two walked out a bit. The smile on Liu Chang's face disappeared.

"Besides the widow are all traitors."

"If that guy didn't lie, then in Chang'an, I don't know how many people want to murder widows!"

Liu Chang's face became very ugly.

He was so wise and managed the big man into such a prosperous world, and now such a thing has happened, isn't this hitting him in the face of someone Liu?
"No doubt. These things, the widows will all be handed over to you to be responsible."

"At Tingwei, the widow will say something."

"No matter who it is, whether he is surnamed Liu or Lu, as long as there is evidence of guilt, he will be killed without mercy!"

"only!"

"Hey, I'll have to see Sima Xi later. I don't know how to write this guy. If someone sells palace weapons when writing about a widow ruling, wouldn't this be ridiculed by future generations?"

Zhang Budo asked in surprise: "Your Majesty is not the Son of Heaven now, how can such a thing be blamed on Your Majesty?"

"You don't know, this Sima Xi has too much prejudice against widows and is talking nonsense!"

Zhang Budo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this minister is also preparing to write a history for the king recently, to record the words and deeds of the king, just like the disciples of Confucius, so that later people will know the moral integrity of the king!"

"Oh?? You've already started writing?"

"Yes, there are still many shortcomings in what the minister wrote. If the king can give some pointers, it would be great."

"Hahaha, you are a talented person who can be Taishiling!"

This pair of ignorant princes and ministers, like fish in water, complement each other, and they are indispensable. Liu Changyuan was still a little depressed, but he suddenly improved a lot. Zhang Budo sent him to the palace, and then he said goodbye respectfully and left.

Cao Shu was a little surprised when Liu Chang walked into the Hall of Houde humming a song.

In the past few days, Liu Chang's mood is not right, and Cao Shu is also very worried. It seems that he is a lot happier today. Seeing the silly smile on Liu Chang's face, Cao Shu couldn't help laughing and helped Liu Chang change. Clothes, looking at Liu Chang's dark cuffs, Cao Shu couldn't help shaking his head, "If Grandma was in Chang'an, the king would definitely be hit with a stick."

"Mom is coming soon. Those three Shuzi stayed in Liang country, and I don't know what toss Liang country into. I'm afraid that the fifth brother Zhang Xiang and the others will be tossed a lot."

"With grandma watching, they probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble."

"Oh, don't you dare? Do you see how partial your mother is?"

Liu Chang said angrily: "When I was young, I just shot an arrow on my father's forehead, and my mother almost killed me!"

"But what about those three stubbys? I've been idle all day, but my mother doesn't fight?"

Cao Shu was silent for a moment, before he said, "If they also shoot arrows on the king's forehead, they may be beaten."

"They have to dare!"

Liu Chang said proudly, showing his sleeves, "This dress is not bad, but the cuffs are a little small, it would be better to make them bigger, I see those Chu people waving their sleeves, like a black bird spreading its wings, it is very beautiful , and it can still bring out that kind of sound, which is very beautiful."

"Okay, I'll change it next time."

Cao Shu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the King of Chengyang is still waiting for you in the Xuanshi Hall."

"Zhang is back?"

Liu Chang hurriedly went to Xuan Shi Hall, and met Liu Zhang who had been waiting for a long time here. Liu Zhang was sent out by Liu Chang before. The emperor, Qingjun's side" rumors, Liu Chang sent out all the embroidered clothes, and even Liu Zhang sent them out.

"It came just right!"

Liu Chang pulled Liu Zhang over and said in a low voice, "The palace arsenal!"

"The armament of the rebels is taken from the arsenal!"

Liu Zhang was a little surprised, and then he said, "Father Zhong, the imperial arsenal also sells ordnance?"

"Also?? What's going on?"

"I found that there are arms dealers in the local arsenal. I'm about to report it to Father Zhong."

At that moment, Liu Zhang saw that Liu Chang's face suddenly turned ashen, and he asked incredulously: "When did my big man become like this?? Why didn't it happen during my father's time? Could it be that the widow is really a foolish ruler? ??"

"Father Zhong... wealth is the most touching. Today's officials are not the officials who fought with the eldest father in the past."

"Should kill! Kill!"

Liu Chang gritted his teeth with hatred. He had always focused on foreign enemies and wealthy clansmen. He never expected that such a big problem would appear on officials. Even the weapons in the arsenal could be sold, so what else could not be sold? ?It has only been a few decades since the founding of the country, how has the big man changed?

"Zhang ah. Tell me more about the situation of the local arsenal."

Liu Zhang immediately brought out his own records. Liu Zhang was not the kind of "demon" like Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, but he was very careful and serious in his work, which was why Liu Chang reused him.Liu Zhang prepared a detailed performance table, and the more Liu Chang looked at it, the more frightened he became. After listening for a long time, he scolded: "Why is this wishful?"

"Can this dizzy lord govern Zhao State well? If he can't govern, he will be replaced!"

That's right, the local arsenal incident this time still happened in Zhao State.

Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "Father Zhong, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Father San Zhong and Jia Xiang against some people in the country, which led to such a thing. Their target is not Father Zhong, but Father San Zhong. and Jia Xiang"

Liu Chang scolded a few more words, and then studied everything with Liu Zhang.

At this time, a valet suddenly walked into the Xuanshi Hall in a panic.

"Your Majesty! Something big has happened!"

Liu Chang raised his head, "Who rebelled again?"

"It's Zhang Shizhi. He took someone to arrest Marquis Jiancheng!"

"What did you say?!"

When Liu Chang led Lu Lu and the others to the Jiancheng Hou Mansion, the soldiers had already filled the water around the place. Liu Chang frowned and his eyes were full of anger. This piece of Shizhi is crazy. Could it have something to do with my uncle?Does he need to sell ordnance to get rich, or does he have to murder himself? ?
Seeing Chang Liu approaching, the soldiers quickly gave way and let Chang Chang in.

Liu Chang hurried into the mansion and saw his uncle.

The uncle held a sharp sword and aimed the sharp sword at Zhang Shizhi's neck. He was already extremely angry, but Zhang Shizhi didn't move and looked straight into Lu Shizhi's eyes. These two Shizhi were right. When he got up, Liu Chang walked over a few steps, "What happened?!"

Seeing Chang Liu's arrival, Lu Shizhi didn't even have the thought of withdrawing his sword, and said angrily, "This fellow is framed!"

"What do you want to do, Zhang Shizhi? If you don't check the Bank of China, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Shizhi met Liu Chang, and then said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am not disrespectful to Marquis Jiancheng, but the sinner I want to arrest is hiding here!"

"You fart! How can there be any sinners here?!"

"Of course there is. As an official of the young mansion, using the public for personal gain, colluding with the Bank of China to say, where is Lu Ping, the Marquis of Liu, who faked the list of weapons in the arsenal?!"

Zhang Shizhi asked angrily.

At that moment, Lu Shizhi was stunned, and even the hand holding the sword trembled, "No. No, Ping wouldn't do such a thing."

Speaking of the Lu family, few people know that Empress Lu actually had an elder sister who died young, and this Lu Ping was the first-born son of Empress Lu. Because of the early death of her parents, her surname was changed to Lu, which was deeply loved by the elders of the Lu family. I like it, but because of his withdrawn personality, he doesn't have much contact with other relatives, and he is not very familiar with Liu Chang.

Liu Chang only knew that there was such a person, but he almost forgot what he looked like.

"Well, I said how dare an arsenal commander be so courageous, it turns out that such a big man is helping him."

Liu Chang laughed, "Uncle, will you arrest him yourself, or will I arrest him myself?"

Lu Shizhi was completely desperate, and just shook his head, "Confused, confused!"

But at this moment, in the inner room, Lu Ping, Marquis of Fu Liu, was holding Lu Chong's hand tightly, "Brother Zong, hide me! Hide me! I was deceived by the villain and made a big mistake! Only my aunt can save me. Me! Hide me and wait for my aunt to come back!"

Lu Zhong said with a stern face, "I won't do anything to betray the king. If you still think that you are brothers with me, go to the palace and apologize to the king in person!"

"You and I are blood relatives, why do you help outsiders to murder relatives?!"

"What a helper to an outsider. It turns out that I am an outsider when you are here."

When Liu Chang's voice came, Lu Ping wanted to escape in horror, but was stopped by Lu Zhong. Soon, a soldier came in and grabbed him.

Liu Chang looked at the guy in front of him with disappointment in his eyes.

"The widow should really be reinstated to the torture of the cannon! You eat the insides and the outsides, cooking and killing you are all cheap for you!"

"It's better to branded you thieves!"

Liu Chang's eyes were full of anger, he waved his hand, and a soldier took him away.

Lu Chong didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing that the frightened Lv Ping was taken away, he reluctantly walked to Liu Chang's side, "Your Majesty, you won't really use cannons on him, will you?"

"so what?"

"That's not what Mingjun did. If the king is like this, I'm afraid that even the virtuous name of King Zhao will surpass you."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "You don't know, before, King Zhao sent the widow brass. Do you know what that means? This is to persuade the widow to burn the brass as a punishment!"

"what??"

Lu Chong's idea is also very simple, try to keep the Lu family decent, the first person in the big Han to be branded with a cannon is surnamed Lu, how can this be done?Those who don't know think that the second generation of the Lu family are all incompetent people who lack great virtue and have no achievements!

"It can't go on like this. The governance of officials is the foundation of the great Han. We must find a way. The current official system may no longer be suitable for today's temples. It has changed."

Liu Chang frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Lu!"

"Hurry up and send someone to Liang Guo to let Zhang Xiang go back to the court together."

"If it goes on like this, the big man will die at the hands of the widow."

Looking at the king whose expression suddenly became solemn, Lu Lu subconsciously felt that someone was going to have bad luck.
