Straight man of steel

Chapter 456
Before Liu Che declared Wei Zifu to be the empress, another major event happened in Chang'an City.

Zhonglang Lei of Huainan Kingdom was arrested thousands of miles away and went to Chang'an City to sue the imperial court.

The cause was not what Zhang Yuan remembered.

It was supposed to be that Lei was fighting swords with Liu Qian, the son of Huainan King Liu An and the prince of Huainan Kingdom.

In the end, Lei was accidentally injured by Liu Qian, and Liu Qian has been slandered and slandered in front of Liu An.

Liu An must have been protecting his precious son, so he removed Lei Bei from his position, forcing Lei Bei to come to Chang'an City to sue.

The results have now changed.

After Lei was sent to Chang'an City, he actually said that he discovered that Liu Qian was having an affair with a palace maid, and then Liu Qianqian got angry with him.

It's no big deal for a prince of a vassal state to play with court ladies. All the court ladies in the palace belong to his father and him.

As a result, Liu Qian was angry with Lei Qui because of this incident.

After everyone inquired about the details, they found out that Liu Qian had some problems, and he was naturally ashamed and angry when he was bumped into.

Zhang Yuan was stunned when he found out.

Can you still play like this?

However, Lei Bei did not directly accuse Liu Qian and Liu An of rebellion.

He has no evidence for those things, so it is impossible to sue Liu An for such a crime.

He sued Liu Che for the impeachment, saying that Liu An, the king of Huainan, strictly forbade Lei from being sent to Beijing to join the army.

It turned out that Liu Che had promulgated a law across the country long ago.

As long as any big man is willing to join the army, he can directly come to Chang'an to save his life and join the war. Neither the princes nor the officials from all over the country can intercept these people without authorization.

Lei Fei initially wanted to leave the Huainan Kingdom in this name. After all, his martial arts skills could be put to good use if he joined the army.

As a result, Liu An directly issued an order in Huainan State for his son.

'Zhonglang Lei was strictly prohibited from entering the capital to join the army, and the people of Huainan took this as a warning.

In the future, whoever makes trouble again, don't think about leaving in the name of joining the army. '

In this way, Lei was really desperate in Huainan country, and this is why he entered Chang'an to sue for impeachment.

It is a trivial matter to prevent Lei from being entered into Chang'an City, but preventing Lei from being executed by the emperor's edict is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the head should be beheaded and killed directly in the market, and then the body should be discarded.

Originally, Liu Che had long been dissatisfied with the Huainan Kingdom, but now that this incident happened, it happened to give Liu Che a chance.

You must know that Liu An was the prince who took the lead in refusing to implement the Tweet Order.

The princes and kings who received the most attention from Liu Che were 100% Liu An.

The people of Liu Ling lived in Chang'an City for decades, but no one knew that Liu Che's cousin was a spy of Huainan King Liu An.

Otherwise, the princes, kings and masters are also the officials who can sleep?

Liu Che immediately sent someone to investigate the matter.

The first-level official of Guanwai County closest to Huainan Kingdom is Henan County, and Luoyang City is also a big city.

Liu Che handed the matter over to the governor of Henan County, who asked him to arrest the prince of Huainan, Liu Qian, and bring him to Luoyang for trial.

The order was sent directly to Shouchun County, the capital of Huainan Kingdom.

But the magistrate of Shouchun County was appointed by Huainan King Liu An, so he naturally wanted to protect Liu Qian and Huainan King Liu An.

In this way, Liu Che's order was not carried out in Shouchun County.

But the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom was appointed by Liu Che, so he brought this situation to Chang'an.

The Prime Minister of Huainan directly reported the Shouchun County Prime Minister with his real name.

When Huainan King Liu An heard that his prime minister wanted to report Shouchun County Prime Minister, he immediately went to Huainan Prime Minister and asked him to recover the documents impeaching Shouchun County Prime Minister.

But the Huainan Prime Minister didn't listen to Huainan King Liu An at all.

It is really high that the prime minister of each vassal state is directly appointed by the central government. If any vassal state wants to rebel, it is very difficult to bypass the prime minister.

As a result, many princes and kings were forced to rebel without gaining the greatest advantage.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the Prime Minister of Huainan, Liu An immediately planned to sue the villain first.

Send people eight hundred miles to rush to Chang'an City.

Sue the Prime Minister of Huainan for breaking the law and discipline.

The group of people who were watching the theater in Chang'an City could only use a small bench to crack melon seeds.

Liu Che didn't care either, as soon as he left Hangu Pass, he was in Henan County, and further southeast was Huainan Kingdom.

Compared with those distant vassal states, it is not too easy for Liu Che to win Liu An.

To be honest, the eight lieutenants stationed in Shanglinyuan were to guard against Liu An.

Huainan Kingdom is also very close to Chang'an City, and once it enters Hangu Pass, it is also a flat boundary.

In this way, the Prime Minister of Huainan State told the Prime Minister of Shouchun County, and Liu An, King of Huainan, told the Prime Minister of Huainan State.

Liu Che simply refused to let the prefect of Henan County try the case, and directly handed over the case to the Tingwei Mansion.

After checking and checking, the king of Huainan was finally found.

The ministers and ministers in Chang'an City agreed that Huainan King Liu An should be arrested directly.

But Liu Che felt that it was not a big deal to directly capture his uncle and bring him to Chang'an City.

People, the face project still needs to be done.

So Liu Che sent a lieutenant to Huainan Kingdom to ask Huainan King Liu An for the truth of the matter.

Although he had already found out, Liu Che still tried his best to give Liu An some dignity.

When the lieutenant arrived in the Huainan Kingdom, he treated the Huainan King with a pleasant face, and did not ask about other matters, only asked about Lei Bei, and did not mention Liu Che's punishment for the Huainan King.

King Huainan originally wanted to kill the lieutenant and then rebel directly, but when he saw the lieutenant like this, he stopped his murderous intention.

In this way, the lieutenant was able to return to Chang'an City safely.

King Huainan admitted his crime to the lieutenant.

Those ministers and ministers asked Liu Che to execute Huainan King Liu An in accordance with the law.

But Liu Che directly refused.

In his opinion, it was Lei Bei who made a mistake first, and Liu An forgot his law in a moment of anger.

If Liu An is killed for such a reason, the work of killing Zhufu Yan to quell the anger of the princes and kings not long ago will be in vain, and Zhufu Yan's death will also be in vain.

In the end, Liu Che decided to cut off only two counties in Huainan Kingdom, and even sent the lieutenant who had asked about King Huainan to announce the punishment.

Liu Che wanted to suppress Huainan King Liu An temporarily, so that he would not have a reason to rebel, and it could also weaken the strength of Huainan Kingdom.

It was rumored that the princes and kings would also say that Liu Che was kind, and they would not think of other things.

The matter of King Huainan was just a small episode.

Dahan's autumn festival is finally here.

The battle between Wei Qing and Gongsun He in the north fell into anxiety, and there was no way to leave, and Liu Che couldn't order the withdrawal of troops.

Once this is done, Yuyang County will be exposed to the front of the Huns.

Now that the big man has the right time, place and people, Liu Che will not seek peace with the Xiongnu no matter how much he consumes.

Anyway, as soon as autumn is over, winter is coming.

Liu Che did not believe that those Wuhuan people and the Huns would choose to spend the winter in Tuidang City and continue to fight against the Han army.

Not only did Liu Che not believe it, but no one in the big Han would think that the Huns would choose to fight the Han army in winter.

In winter, there are no crops outside the city that need to be protected, and all the people in the border counties have entered the city. Will the Huns choose to attack the city?

Liu Che finally decided to let Wei Zifu ascend the throne on the day of the Autumn Festival.

Zhang Yuan also inquired about a piece of news from the side, which actually came from Princess Pingyang.

Liu Che has already sent the general's seal to Yuyang County.

Give birth to a son, a queen and a general.

It is truly an honor that no one else can envy.

For this year's autumn festival, Liu Che chose to start a hunting event directly in Shanglin Garden.

Animals in autumn have to fatten up, and beasts in this season must be fatter.

Zhang Yuan's seat was directly arranged on the top step, sitting with Liu Che, Xue Ze, Zhang Ou and the others.

As for Xiao Ruo and Princess Pingyang, they were sitting on the other side.

"Xiao Ruo, you have been married to Marquis Xin'an for two months, and there is still no movement in your stomach?"

When women sit together, apart from talking about rouge and gouache, the only thing they can talk about is marriage and childbirth.

Princess Pingyang would like to chat about political affairs with the courtiers, but this occasion does not allow it.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, I have not consummated my marriage with the Marquis yet."

After Xiao Ruo finished speaking, her face was so red that she was about to bleed.

"Is it possible that the Marquis of Xin'an was fascinated by the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family?"

"Master Hou never went to rest with his sister, and basically slept in the study.

Once I went in to deliver some clean clothes for Lord Hou, and found that Lord Hou was always looking at the map and writing and drawing on paper, but I didn't understand these things, and I didn't dare to disturb Lord Hou. "

"Marquis Xin'an won't have any old illnesses in his body, you should care about him after you go back to the Marquis' mansion.

It seems that Marquis Xin'an also noticed something and worked so hard, but this can't affect Mian Yan's heirs, can it? "

"I understand. Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."

When it comes to hunting, it is always the time when the young generals show their faces with those honorable children in their teens and 20s.

If you catch some rare prey and send it to Liu Che, you can get a little reward.

However, today's hunting will start relatively late. Zhang Yuan saw the Huangmen Minister on one side holding a thick edict in his hand.

The rewards of many people will be announced today.

"Silence!"

After Liu Che made a gesture with his eyes, the attendant of the Huangmen yelled, and then the little Huangmen who heard the sound continued to yell until the whole hunting ground stopped talking.

"Today's autumn festival, the emperor has an edict.

The imperial edict said: I heard that the heaven and the earth do not change, but transformation cannot be achieved; Yin and Yang do not change, and things cannot flourish.

"Yi" said: "The spirit of the people will be cheered up by adapting to the situation." '

"Poetry" said: "According to the changes of the world without losing the way, choose the good and follow it." '

I appreciate Tang Yu and optimistic Yin Zhou, and I am willing to learn from the experience and lessons of history as a reference.

Now amnesty the world, and reform with the people.Some were prosecuted for committing crimes and fleeing in fear of crimes or owing official property for a long time. Those who happened three years before Emperor Xiaojing were exempted from processing.

In another book, Wei Zifu, Mrs. Li Wei, is the empress of the Han Dynasty and moved to Jiaofang Palace!

The great Sima Hussar General Chang Pinghou Wei Qing was appointed as the general, and five thousand households were granted fiefs.

Wei Qing's eldest son, Mrs. Wei, was granted the title of Marquis of Yichun, with [-] households in the city.

Wei Busu, the second son of Weiqing, was named the Marquis of Yin'an, with [-] households in the city.

Wei Deng, the youngest son of Weiqing, was granted the title of Marquis of Fagan, with [-] households in the city. "

Awesome, Zhang Yuan clicked his tongue twice.

Wei Zifu is really awesome, the servant of Huangmen has not finished reading, the faces of the people below are all green.

There are four princes in a family, and this is still only four men. If there are more men, no more can be sealed.

"Promote Zhang Yuan, General of the Guards, to be the General of the Great Sima Hussars, and add ten thousand households to the city.

Shore Marquis Zhang Cigong added a thousand households to the city.

The Qimen servant shot Li Jian as the Marquis of Tsing Yi, who enfeoffed [-] households in the city.

Xue Ren, captain of Yulin School, was the Marquis of Yinshan, enfeoffing [-] households in the city."

Among the captains who went out with Zhang Yuan, apart from Li Juhuo who was alive and dead, and Li Shuo who was captured, the worst was a reward from the Marquis of Guannei.

But these are not as shocking as Wei Zifu being canonized as empress and Wei Qing being made a general.

"The Marquis of Xin'an is now the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

Princess Pingyang said with a smile to Xiao Ruo, congratulations.

Pingyang Marquis Cao Shen did not have as many feudal cities as Zhang Yuan does now, just one hundred households behind Zhang Yuan.

Cao Shen had [-] households, while Zhang Yuan had [-] households.

Want to know how many fiefs Xiao Hecai had?Only eight thousand households.

Xiao Qing inherited the title again, and now it is even more discounted, there are only [-] households.

In his lifetime, Liu Che had probably conferred ninety ranks of marquis.

Looking at the past, Wan Huhou only had Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing.

As for the fact that King Hunxie surrendered to the big man and was named Marquis of Wanhu, that's all for later.

Now the big man and King Hunxie haven't discussed it well, and they won't be able to surrender for a while.

"His Royal Highness is joking, Lord Hou's glory is also given by the emperor."

Xiao Ruo nodded lightly without arrogance or impetuosity.

On the middle stage, there were congratulatory voices around Zhang Yuan.

There are two kinds of words for the Marquis to divide directly.

A kind of Marquis of Guannei, which is No.19 and other titles in Dahan.

Then there is Liehou, the highest title that people of the opposite sex can obtain.

Ke Liehou is also divided into high and low status.

Otherwise, there are hundreds of Liehou, and they can't all be treated equally.

Or directly classify the status according to the level of the official position.

For example, Zhang Yuan must maintain respect for Prime Minister Xue Ze.

Or with the degree of closeness to the emperor.

Among the liehous, there are also related neihous.

That is another name for Liehou whose fiefdom is in the pass.

Zhang Yuan's fief Xin'an County is just west of Hangu Pass, just inside the pass.

This distinguishes them from those princes outside the pass.

This means being close to the emperor.

The last and most direct is to distinguish according to the fief.

Liehou with many feudal cities, either made great contributions or were attached to the emperor's relatives.

The reasons why Wei Qing and his relatives were named marquises were all written as the queen's younger brother.

You can't accept it.

But Zhang Yuan made a real contribution, but he didn't know that Gongsun Hong was named a lieutenant after he became prime minister, and there were only more than 300 households in Shiyi.

None of Xue Ren and the others who rely on military merits to trade for princes is better than Gongsun Hong.

No matter which one you look at, Zhang Yuan is a figure standing on the top of the noble class of the Han Dynasty.

As long as he does not commit suicide, Ban Gu will give Zhang Yuan a "Biography of Zhang Yuan" when he compiles the "Hanshu" in the future.

"Historical Records" Zhang Yuan is not in a hurry, at least he has to move his birth date forward by several decades, so that Sima Qian can give him a whole family.

Zhang Yuan thought about it, and felt that the biography was still not big enough, but he could only wrong himself.
