Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 832
"Cruel official! Cruel official!!"

"If this thief is not eliminated, how will the world be safe?!"

In Luan Bu's mansion, the officials had already exploded. They looked excited, their faces were flushed, and they were cursing Zhang Tang with the most vicious words over and over again, trembling with anger.

When news of Zhang Tang's behavior in front of the palace came out, the whole Chang'an was shocked.

Such behavior is too cruel and unacceptable.

The big man has always had a tradition of respecting the elderly. Killing people over the age of [-] must be punished after consideration. How can they all be killed just because they want to meet the emperor?Want to kill the clan? ?Moreover, these people are all three elders. Emperor Gao stipulated that if the three elders had any different opinions on the temple, they could write a letter to inform them. Zhang Tang's behavior was simply unforgivable! !

The ministers became excited for a while, and could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts. They gathered in front of Luan Bu and accused Zhang Tang of his actions.

Not only Zhang Tang, but even Jia Yi was pushed to the forefront.

Because the cause of the whole thing started with Jia Yi, Jia Yi can't break the relationship!

They complained in one go, and even started discussing how to execute the new Chang'an county magistrate.

Some people say that the body should be divided into five horses, while others say that the family should be executed.

Luan Bu looked calm and looked at the officials silently.

Just when everyone was about to tear Zhang Tang into pieces, Luan Bu finally spoke.

"Zhang Tang is just a person who executes the imperial edict. It has nothing to do with him. If there is any fault, it must be His Majesty's fault."

At this moment, the officials suddenly stopped talking.

The original fierce and ferocious quarrel came to an abrupt end at this moment.

They can insult Zhang Tang, but they dare not point the finger at the emperor.

Even if they knew in their hearts that Zhang Tang was just executing the imperial edict for the emperor.

Luan Bu frowned immediately, "Why, you all claim to be straight ministers and pursue their faults, but you dare not speak up?"

A minister hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty must have been bewitched by a villain."

Luan Bu put on a serious face, "Since you all say that, then I have to meet His Majesty. If you are willing to go, you can go with me. If you don't want to, go home and wait." .”

Seeing Luan Bu's seriousness, all the ministers dared not say any more, and they left one after another.

In the end, there were only Lu Jia, Hu Wusheng, Liu Li, Xuan Moru and a few ministers standing in front of Luan Bu.

Luan Bu was about to stand up, but Xuan Moru stood in front of him.

"Mr. Luan, gathering crowds to attack the palace and beating the ministers of the temple is the crime of treason. It has nothing to do with age or status. In fact, you don't need to pay attention to it."

Such as Xuan Moru, who came from a group of sages, are all staunch supporters of Liu Chang. No matter what Liu Chang wants to do, they will definitely support them with all their strength. Therefore, in this turmoil, they are always on the opposite side of the group of officials. .

Luan Bu got a little angry and said, "It's all because of you people! Your Majesty is so unscrupulous!!"

"Guan A and Chen Mai from Bashu have already started to kill the three elders in the county who are ready to respond!!!"

Luan Bu was very angry.

Liu Chang not only gave orders to Zhang Tang, but also gave orders to the county guards and ministers of the country. Who dares to make a fuss and kill the clan directly!

In terms of locality, Liu Chang is full of confidence, Guana Chenmai from Bashu, Xiao Yanchaiqi from Dian, Lu Qing from Longxi, the three idiots from the northwest, Dong Chi from Qi, Yuan An from Zhao, and the fanatical Yan The king, Liu Buhai from Dai, Chao Cuo from Liang, Zhao Shi from Nanyue, and Tian Lubo from Wu, in short, all the county guards and prime ministers from all over the world are resolutely carrying out the orders of the elders, and the troublemakers directly punish!

And the situation that the world's response to the three elders who gathered in the temple has not come yet is because of these people, as long as the emperor gives an order, they don't care about your age or status.

Not to mention the support from the army, the northern and southern armies patrolled around the capital these days, and the county soldiers and Louchuan armies from all over the country are also ready to move.

Even in the temple, Xuan Moru, Zhang Buyi and others waved the flag to cheer for His Majesty.

No one can threaten His Majesty at all, and no one can even shake him in the slightest.

Faced with Luan Bu's reprimand, Xuan Moru was not angry at all. These sages were very polite to Luan Bu. After all, they were all picked out by him at the beginning. He just smiled and said: "Mr. Luan, it's not We asked them to make trouble, and speaking of it, Your Majesty dared to do this because you were there."

Luan Bu snorted coldly, then looked at Lu Jia, "Grand Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Jia said loudly: "Your Majesty's behavior is too cruel! I am willing to follow you to question the crime!"

Luan Bu looked at him complicatedly, not knowing for a moment whether what he said was true or not.

Others don't know, but Luan Bu knows very well that this man has always been used to playing oboe with His Majesty, and has been fishing professionally for more than ten years, and all the officials dare not believe his words anymore.

Luan Bu let out a long sigh, he was so helpless in such a big temple!

He ignored these people, got up and rushed towards the palace.

When Luan Bu came to the palace, Liu Chang was still listening to stories.

"go out!!"

Luan Bu drove the man out again, and Liu Chang was full of helplessness, "Why are you all like this? Can't you let me listen to it completely??"

Luan Bu sat down in front of Liu Chang seriously.

"Your Majesty, you have never been a person who kills indiscriminately. Why did you kill so many people this time? Besides, you have ordered all places to kill people. It is reasonable for King Wu to come forward for this matter." solution, why so?"

"Your Majesty is now only using cruel means to suppress the people. Could it be that he has forgotten what happened to the Qin State?!"

Liu Chang's face suddenly became serious.

"Indiscriminate killing??"

"The temple is innovating, not playing with them!!"

"Some things seem very serious, but the crime is not fatal. Xia Houzao has fought back against me many times, but I did not execute him. In the past, someone stole from my father's tomb, and I did not execute him. Some people reprimanded me for being unfilial, openly wrote a letter and insulted me, and I didn't execute him because the things I just said can be corrected and are irrelevant."

"Now these old dogs are gathered outside the palace. In your eyes, this incident is not as serious as beating the emperor, stealing the imperial tomb, or insulting the emperor. But in my eyes, this is a crime that will be punished by the clan." !! Because what they want to harm is not me, but the common people of the world!!"

"What kind of people are they? The reason why they oppose the new tax is because the new tax is not good for them, so that they can no longer unscrupulously annex land, purchase property, hoard food, force the people to become their tenant servants, so that they can no longer monopolize Local trade, they are not allowed to mine recklessly, these have shaken their fundamental interests, so they gathered just now, trying to force the temple to make concessions through deceitful means!!"

"This is for them to be able to better exploit the common people in the future and squeeze the common people!!"

"I have always been kind to others and valued life and death. I seldom kill others just because of their offense. Because of this character, my mother said many times that I am a woman's benevolence and I am not decisive enough. But I think these people also have their own parents. , I also have my own brothers and children, every time I think of these, I will pardon their capital crimes and give them a chance to reform!"

"However, if you offend me, I don't have to pursue it, but I will never forgive this kind of thing that affects the common people in the world!"

"The temple wants to be reformed, and they want to fight, so I will fight with them! Force them to obey the new policy of the temple! If they choose to retreat because of their age, then this reform will definitely fail!!"

"There is no innovation that can be temporarily retreated. The innovation must be thorough, otherwise it will be a failure!"

"If I let them go this time and let King Wu come forward, there will be a next time. Next time, only by uprooting these opponents once and for all can the innovation continue!"

"Today I am tolerant to them, so who will be tolerant to the common people?!"

Faced with Liu Chang's continuous questioning, Luan Bu couldn't answer.

He let out a long sigh, "If that's the case, you can ask Ting Wei to investigate thoroughly. Why did you let Zhang Tang shoot him in the street?! The whole world is talking about it. I don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid of your reputation."

"Oh, fame?"

Liu Chang pouted, "If I cared about that reputation, I wouldn't come to Chang'an to be some kind of emperor!"

"Luan Bu, don't worry about these things. There are many people in the court. They are with these three elders, and they may even instigate them secretly. If a group of officials come to you to play, you remember to leave list!"

"Also, those people in Taixue are the most likely to be provoked, you send someone to take care of Taixue!"

"Ai Chen will find a way to settle this matter."

When Luan Bu walked out of the palace, the surrounding soldiers all lowered their heads.

Thinking that the sheriffs all over the country might have started killing, Luan Bu felt such a pain in his forehead. He raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Oh, why did I send that letter in the first place?"

When Zhang Tang returned home, he knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

It wasn't until he called loudly that his father opened the door carefully for him.

Zhang Xiancheng has now become Zhang Lingshi and has been promoted to work in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But these days, he has been afraid to go to work.

Seeing his son coming, he dragged him in, then quickly closed the door and added a few more locks.

Zhang Tang frowned suddenly, "But someone came here to make trouble??"

Zhang Lingshi glared at him, "Do you still have the face to ask? Look at the good deeds you have done, okay, dozens of elders were killed by you directly. You will never give up the reputation of this cool official in your life." I want to be able to wash it off!"

Zhang Tang didn't explain, but asked again: "But someone came here to make trouble?!"

Zhang Tang's eyes became sharper.

Even the old father became a little unnatural when facing him, and hurriedly said: "Not at all."

"Then why is father so afraid?"

"Can I not be afraid? You are famous now. People in Chang'an are talking about you, trying to get rid of you and hurry up. How dare I open the door easily? Your reputation now surpasses that of your teacher." Already!"

Zhang Lingshi's face was full of guilt, "I shouldn't have asked you to study the law in the first place. I shouldn't have asked you to follow Chao Cuo."

Zhang Tang returned to the courtyard indifferently, and sat down without fear.

"Father, you can't back down from these people. You can only make an example of them. They confuse the people with public opinion and blatantly resist the temple. If they are not dealt with, nothing can be done."

"Then neither should you"

Zhang Lingshi sat in front of Zhang Tang with a sad face, and sighed again, "My son, it's not a good thing to use it as a sword for the emperor. If there is too much blood stained, you will be thrown out to vent your anger. Since ancient times, It's all the same, you shouldn't be so irritable."

"Father, I am not His Majesty's sharp knife."

"I am a minister of the great man."

"I did this not to show myself in front of His Majesty, but to realize my ambition and to govern the great man."

Zhang Lingshi pursed his lips, "You have grown up now, and I can't say no to you. But what should we do in the future? There are countless people in Chang'an who want to kill you now."

But Zhang Tang laughed loudly, "Father, you don't have to be afraid. It doesn't make any sense to them to kill me. I am not a person who draws up policies. As you said, I am just a sharp knife now. What's the use of breaking the sharp knife? They don't dare to vent their anger on Duke Jia and His Majesty, so they can only insult me, but they won't attack me either, it's useless. On the contrary."

"Bang bang bang~~~~"

Suddenly there was a fierce knock on the door, interrupting Zhang Tang's words.

Zhang Tang probably didn't expect that the face slap would come so quickly, and his face was a little shocked.

Zhang Lingshi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and hide in the backyard!"

Zhang Tang obviously wouldn't dodge. He got up directly, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door before Zhang Lingshi stopped him.

There were three half-grown boys standing outside the door, looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Tang hurriedly paid homage to see him.

Zhang Tang knew the three people in front of him. They were the notorious King Xia and his not-so-loyal right-hand man.

"Hahaha, I heard that you went back to Chang'an to take over from your father, and you were about to visit you, so I learned what you did, okay!"

Liu Ci said happily, and directly led the two people in, Zhang Lingshi hurriedly saluted.

The four sat in the mansion, and Liu Ci looked at Zhang Tang with approval in his eyes.

"That's great. There is a lack of ministers like you in the court. Your courage is truly invincible. You are worthy of being Chao Cuo's disciple. It is really enviable! If you can go to Xia Kingdom with me, I will definitely seal you up." You are the Prime Minister!"

Zhang Tang said with a serious face, "It's just doing things according to the edict, and I can't deserve your praise."

Dong Zhongshu on the side couldn't help but said: "Even if you do things according to the edict, you are rarely as fierce as you. You are now well-known in the Taixue, and many people say that they will be against you. , I also hurriedly informed the king."

Xia Houci said loudly: "We are here to protect you!"

Liu Ci lowered his voice, "You don't know yet, do you? Many Tai students have agreed to come and kill you together. I think they all want to make a name for themselves through you. If they can kill you, their reputation will be terrible. The word is about to spread, there are the most lunatics who want fame but not life in the Taixue. The soldiers are here to protect you, and besides, I will also send someone to watch, if there is anything, you can come to me at any time!"

"The minister is not afraid."

"You are not afraid, but you still have family members, right? What if they are persecuted?"

Hearing what Liu Ci said, Zhang Tang no longer refused, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

"Thank you, King."

Liu Ci smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be like this, you are a friend of the widow, and the widow treats friends with sincerity, but don't be afraid that I am here this time, not to win you over, nor to pass To get your allegiance by showing kindness to you, of course, I also have personal feelings. If you are kind to you, you are greatly moved and willing to follow me. I would welcome it more than anything. However, I don’t force it, I appreciate it very much People like you, if you encounter anything in the future, you must come to me for help. I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Zhang Tang saluted again.

Everyone ate some food together. Liu Ci wanted to drink with him, but was rejected by Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang didn't drink, just like his teacher. Liu Ci didn't force it. Another thing.

"When I went to visit Jia Yi yesterday, he said a lot to me."

"This time, you are going to develop."

"Oh?"

Liu Ci grinned, "Do you know who Jia Yi's wife is? Let me tell you, after Jia Yi was injured, my aunt was very angry and went directly to Changle Palace. My mother was furious when she heard about it, and she had summoned her Shanduhou is now, and the armor was about to be dispatched. Knowing that you are killing people, Shanduhou went back halfway. The mother likes you very much, and has told others many times that you have the talents of the three men, and I Auntie is also very happy, I really want to come to thank you in person, I guess it won't be long before the eldest mother will meet you in person."

When Zhang Tang heard these things, his face was not moved at all.

Liu Ci said again: "When the eldest mother sees you, I'm afraid no one will dare to deal with you in a hurry. You have made a great contribution in front of the eldest mother this time."

Zhang Tang couldn't help but said: "I acted according to the edict, and I didn't think about helping anyone. The matter of Mr. Jia has nothing to do with me, and Princess Lu Yuan has nothing to do with me. As for the rewards and receptions of the Queen Mother, I have to accept them." Ashamed, I will never go there!"

Liu Ci's eyes widened, "That's the empress dowager! You don't want to see her??"

"If the Empress Dowager has an order, I will obey it, but I dare not accept this reward."

Liu Ci scratched his head and didn't say anything more. After eating and drinking enough, Liu Ci just left here with his two friends, and Zhang Tang also sent them to the door.

"Okay, you don't want to send some of us to the car, you have made an agreement with some people. If you have time, you can come to play!"

Zhang Tang suddenly stopped Liu Ci.

"Your Majesty."

"what happened?"

"Changtang, the prime minister of Chang'an County, now suspects that you are going to drive in the city. Please come with me to the county government office!"

"what??!!"
