Three Kingdoms Chapter 38 Impeachment of Zhang Rang
Luoyang City, Changle Palace.
The eldest prince Liu Wei took a step forward, looked at Taifu Yuan Kui, and asked: "Please also ask Taifu Yuan to come out one by one about Lord Zhang's crimes, as for whether it is true, further investigation should be done." ”
At this time, except for the young prince Liu Xie, everyone else had already seen that the words of the eldest prince Liu Wei had been biased towards the prince Yuan Kui.
Taifu Yuan Kui nodded, and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Queen Mother, the old minister said that he couldn't afford to be sick a few days ago, and he didn't dare to come to the court again, because Zhang Rang, the regular servant, had kidnapped the wife and children of the old minister in order to suppress the general He Jin, and the old minister was really helpless, so he didn't dare to go against him on the surface, so he had to say that he couldn't afford to be sick, and let Situ Wang Yun separate himself to assist His Royal Highness the Great Prince in taking care of the government. ”
"Hehehe...... Mrs. Yuan, this is about evidence, if you can't come up with evidence, I will impeach you. Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, was also taken aback, and hurriedly laughed dryly, and said angrily.
At this time, Taifu Yuan Kui was also angry, after all, this matter had been suppressed in his heart for too long, so he also said angrily: "Evidence? My wife and children can testify to this, if it weren't for my nephew Yuan Shao coming to Luoyang now, the old man probably wouldn't even have the opportunity to speak, this is one of Zhang Rang's crimes, coercing the families of officials of the Han Dynasty, heaven will not tolerate it. Second, as a eunuch, Zhang Rang, a regular servant of the Central People's Republic of China, ignored the laws set by my ancestors of the Han Dynasty, secretly participated in the affairs of the court, and formed gangs with many officials in the court, colluded together, and caused chaos in the court. ”
As he spoke, Taifu Yuan Kui looked at Taichang Xunyu and the others behind Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, and said, "These people behind Zhang Rang must be inseparable!" ”
Hearing this, not only Zhang Rang, but even Xun Yu, Zheng Taiyi and others behind him were also stunned, and their faces were a little embarrassed.
"Mrs. Yuan is a little overbearing! Could it be that chatting with Master Zhang and meeting him can be said to be a eunuch chaotic government? Then I also heard that when the emperor was alive in the early years, Lord Zhang and Mrs. Yuan also had a conversation, could it be that you also colluded with the eunuchs at that time and formed a gang? Taichang Xun Yu directly scolded Taifu Yuan Kui back.
"The old minister only asks for a clear conscience, but it is different from Xun Taichang, Xun Taichang knows that today the old minister will come to impeach Zhang Rang, but he hurriedly came to Changle Palace before the old minister, isn't this a ghost in his heart?" Taifu Yuan Kui didn't feel any apprehension in the face of Taichang Xun Yu, after all, the other party was just a small Taichang, how could he compare with himself.
"A clear conscience? Then I can also say that I have a clear conscience, Master Taifu has been talking for a long time, but has he ever come up with any substantive evidence? Your wife and children are not evidence of this, who knows if you have been moved by you beforehand. "Taichang Xunyu is not a small role, after all, he was already famous in the entire Yingchuan in his early years, and now facing this Taifu Yuan Kui, whose official position is much bigger than himself, is not weaker than him in terms of momentum.
"Hahaha...... Xun Taichang listened to the old minister for the time being, and Zhang Rang's crimes were more than this star. Taifu Yuan Kui smiled, then turned his head, and said to Empress He and the eldest prince Liu Wei: "The case of the assassination of the general He Jin on the fourth road of Xinbei Street, the old minister secretly investigated, the day before the general was assassinated, and a member of the fierce generals under the command of Shi Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao, happened to come to Luoyang, that day, he entered the city directly with weapons, and the guards at the city gate stopped him, but it was found that he was Zhang Liao, the guard of the state, and in desperation, the guards could only put it into the city, and according to the investigation of the old minister, As soon as Zhang Liao entered the city, he went directly to see Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, although everyone had a premonition that the assassination of the general He Jin must have something to do with Zhang Rang, but there was no substantive evidence, and now, Taifu Yuan Kui has actually investigated here, presumably there is also evidence!
The most surprised person is none other than Queen He, the general He Jin is her own brother, who grew up together, and wholeheartedly thinks about his sister, after the general He Jin was assassinated, her sister washed her face with tears all day long, grieving for her.
But now, as soon as she heard that this case suddenly had an eyebrow, she couldn't help but feel turbulent in her heart, and secretly made up her mind: she must avenge her brother.
Queen He's beautiful eyes are deep, her skin is fair, delicate, smooth and translucent, and her face is slightly angry, such a she, coupled with her graceful, convex and backward figure, really makes him more amorous, like a resentful beautiful woman.
Yuan Shao on the side glanced at Queen He, and his heart suddenly became a little excited, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Empress He immediately asked, "Lord Taifu, is this true?" ”
"The old minister didn't dare to say anything, and the guards who were on duty at the city gate that day could testify." Taifu Yuan Kui said sonorously.
"Hehehe...... Yuan Taifu said this, but he was saying that I instructed General Zhang Liao to assassinate the great general He Jin? Then I want to ask, who has seen the general assassinated by Zhang Liao with his own eyes? On that day, Zhang Liao was only entrusted by Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, and brought a letter to me personally. And I have a good relationship with Lord Ding Yuanding, so why not? In this matter, Lord Zhao, who is a regular attendant, can testify for me. Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, did not panic at all, and after speaking, he took out a letter from his arms, then slowly opened it, and continued: "This letter is Lord Ding's greeting on my physical condition, I have been in poor health for the past year, you don't believe it, you can take a look." ”
Hearing this, Taifu Yuan Kui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help scolding in his heart: Okay, you are a Zhang Rang, an old treacherous and cunning, you have also thought about this in advance, and you still want to prevaricate with that fake letter!
"Hmph...... The letter can be forged, but I found out that the day the general was assassinated happened to be the day after Zhang Liao came to Luoyang, and the time when the general was assassinated happened to be the time when Zhang Liao left Luoyang, which is too coincidental! Taifu continued, he didn't believe it, can Zhang Rang, the regular servant, continue to make it up?
"Uh...... In this way, it is indeed quite a coincidence, that day the Wei General Zhang Liao came to deliver the letter, I wanted to leave on the same day, but I was grateful, so I invited him to his home as a guest, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, I knew that I would not leave the Wei General that day, so that I would not be misunderstood by Yuan Taifu...... Hey......" Zhang Rang sighed and said with some regret.
However, this trace of regret is really ...... in the eyes of Taifu Yuan Kui and Empress He and others It's too acting......
"Hmph...... Lord Zhang is really clever, white can be said to be black, even so, Lord Zhang is still suspicious. Taifu Yuan Kui said to Queen He: "The old minister asks the queen to detain Zhang Rang, the regular attendant, and interrogate him alone, and he will definitely find out." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rang, the first servant of Zhongchang and the others, was shocked and detained, I'm afraid it's not that simple, once they are detained, I'm afraid they will be dead and alive.
After all, he was locked up in prison, and he was killed by someone without knowing it, and in the end, Taifu said casually: This is an accident, and then it can be over, and the result of the final trial, who will defend a dead man?
"Hmph...... Is Master Taifu trying to assassinate me in the same secret? First they said a lot of slanderous things about me, and then they wanted to detain me alone, and then I was afraid that I would lose my life. After speaking, Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, hurriedly looked at the crown prince Liu Xie and winked at him.
Liu Xie, the seven-year-old prince, didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhongchang Chang Zhang's gaze, but he thought that if Zhongchang Zhang Rang was detained, wouldn't there be no one to play with him, which was not good.
Thinking of this, the crown prince Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang's words are reasonable, this move is really inappropriate, I think Mrs. Yuan has found enough evidence first, and it's not too late to say it!" ”
"Brother, this is no joke! This matter concerns the majesty of the law of my Han Dynasty, if Zhang Rang touches the law, how can he be so unpunished? The eldest prince Liu Wei immediately persuaded that for his younger brother, the eldest prince Liu Wei did not mean to kill them all, after all, he was also his younger brother, but just a child.
"Uh...... That's it! Prince Liu Xie didn't expect his brother to oppose him, so he turned his young and translucent eyes, his smart head was running wildly, and continued: "Since this is the case, then lock up Lord Zhang in this Changle Palace!" From now on, Lord Zhang is not allowed to take half a step out of Changle Palace until everyone finds out the truth, how about it? ”
Hearing this, Taifu Yuan Kui frowned, he didn't expect that this seven-year-old child would be so difficult.
Empress He and the eldest prince Liu Wei on the side also frowned slightly, and they didn't know what to say, after all, they were currently the princes, but if this was the case, it could be regarded as restricting the freedom of Zhang Rang, and they didn't think it was inappropriate.
But how did they know that the crown prince Liu Xie just wanted to stay in Changle Palace for a few more days, so that he could play more with him, because every time Zhang Rang came, he could bring some fresh things, which made him very happy every time.
"This ......" Taifu Yuan Kui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." ”
"What's wrong with that?" When the crown prince Liu Xie heard this, the extremely unhappy expression on his face was directly revealed.
Taifu Yuan Kui's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly turned his head to look at the eldest prince Liu Wei, because he knew that now the crown prince Liu Xie was already very unhappy with him, and if he contradicted it again, it might backfire.
The eldest prince Liu Wei also looked pale, and immediately said to his younger brother, the crown prince Liu Xie: "My brother may not know something, the Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang Zhang, he must not continue to stay in this Changle Palace today, he must leave today." ”
Hearing this, everyone was full of doubts, why? Zhang Rang stayed in this Changle Palace, but what is in your way?
The most incomprehensible thing is the crown prince Liu Xie, as soon as he heard his brother's voice, he looked at Zhang Rang, the middle attendant, and immediately asked his own brother: "Why?" Why can't Lord Zhang stay in Changle Palace? ”
"If what Taifu Yuan Kui said is not false, then Lord Zhang is a heinous traitor, eunuchs messing with government, kidnapping bureaucrats' families, threatening officials of the Han Dynasty, and plotting to assassinate the generals of the Han Dynasty. Younger brother, as the prince of the Han Dynasty, you will definitely support the entire Han world in the future, for your safety, we must not let you fall into the hands of such a sinister person. The eldest prince Liu argued eloquently, as if he had been convicted of Zhang Rang, the servant of the Central Guard, and at the same time said that everyone had no reason to object.
Oh, yes! Regardless of whether Zhang Rang is guilty or not, but at least there is suspicion, how can such a person stay with the prince of the Han Dynasty every day, in case something goes wrong with the prince Liu Xie, it will not only be a loss to the Han Dynasty, but will also affect the prestige of the Han Dynasty.
For this reason, a cold sweat suddenly stood up behind his back, and he kept looking at the crown prince Liu Xie, after all, he was now his only life-saving straw.
The crown prince Liu Xie also saw the gaze he transmitted, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Lord Zhang treats me very well on weekdays, how can it be unfavorable to me?" But when my father was alive, he once said to Master Zhang that he must assist me well in the future, but I heard my father say it with my own ears. ”
Hearing this, the eldest prince Liu Wei and the prince Yuan Kui both looked pale, they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was only seven years old, would also move his father out.
At this moment, the most messy person in her heart is also Queen He, and she can see it now, if the seven-year-old prince Liu Xie really grows up in the future, he will definitely become her son's enemy, so it is best to either seize the throne or ...... before he grows up It is also necessary to let him not get the life of the throne.
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still relatively young, and he doesn't know the thoughts of thieves, which is not surprising, but we can't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come nonsense." At this time, Queen He stood up and said lightly.
"You...... I don't care...... I don't care...... I'm going to be with Master Zhang. The crown prince Liu Xie suddenly shouted, tears in his eyes, and he was about to cry.
However, Queen He was not moved, and there was no sympathy on her delicate and charming face.
"Queen Mother, I'm afraid this move is appropriate, your words like this are completely not in your eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, even if he is young, you must respect him." This is, Taichang Xun Yu said again.
"Yes, yes, I'm also a prince after all, how can you not respect my position, you ...... You guys are so hateful. The crown prince Liu Xie shouted loudly, the expression on his face was extremely dissatisfied.
Hearing the loud shout of the crown prince Liu Xie, everyone was silent, and their faces were expressionless. After all, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, how can they be disrespectful.
As a result, in the Changle Palace of Nuoda, the silence was suddenly a little terrifying, and even the sound of everyone's breathing became clear.
However, at this moment, a woman's gentle and peaceful voice broke this stalemate.
"Xie'er, how are you doing?"
