Chapter 109: Splashing Dirty Water
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said that even if he picked up the bamboo slips on the bookcase and read them, after reading a few letters, it was really as Wang Yan said, all of them were participating in the recital of Liu Wu, the king of Liang.
King Liang arrived in Chang'an for only a few days, and the people in Chang'an City should know at most that King Liang traveled with the Son of Heaven Luan, how could they know that King Liang's life was extravagant.
How can there be so many rumors? Liu Qi, the son of heaven, is also playing drums in his heart.
After pondering it carefully, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said secretly: "This must have been done by someone on purpose!" ”。
"Who is it?" , Liu Qi frowned and thought.
Someone who had a holiday with Liu Wu in his mind, Zhou Yafu? There is no way that this man has always acted in a righteous and bright manner, and would never do such a thing......
Who else? , the Son of Heaven, Liu Qimeng's eyes lit up, and he said secretly: "Liu Rong! It must have been done by this boy."
I saw Liu Qi scratch his beard and muttered in a low voice: "I'll see how many catties and taels your kid has."
The son of heaven of the Han family
Wang Yan, who was standing on the side, naturally heard the words of the Son of Heaven, but he had a question mark on his face.
I secretly said in my heart: What does Your Majesty mean by this?
However, Liu Rong, who was in the dormitory at this time, was anxious and had to wait for news. On that day, after thinking about it for a long time, I came up with this 'bad idea' and poured dirty water on Liu Wu!
I even thought in my heart: "Uncle Liang Wang, don't blame me, competition for posts, then you have to rely on your ability."
For pouring dirty water on Liu Wu's body, Liu Rong was still a little suspicious at first, but after thinking about it carefully, what is splashing dirty water, this is originally what he did himself, since he dares to do it, don't be afraid of what others say!
At this moment, Wang Sheng entered the palace, "Your Highness, everything has been done, when the slave and maid return to the palace, I heard that there are many courtiers and imperial history books to participate in King Liang."
Originally, Liu Rong was still pondering, but Wang Sheng interrupted Liu Rong's train of thought with a word.
As soon as he came back to his senses, Liu Rong said: "Okay, is that person reliable?"
Wang Sheng arched his hand and said, "That person is the person he knew when His Royal Highness went to the Tomb of Ba to guard the tomb for the first emperor, and ordered the slave maid to inquire about the news in Chang'an, his name is Li Tong."
This person is a ranger in Chang'an City, bold and reckless by nature, as long as he promises full money, this person will dare to do anything, and the slave maid has heard that this person is carrying several human lives."
Hearing that he was bold and reckless, as long as he had gold, he would dare to do anything, Liu Rong was a little worried, "Does he know who you are?" ”。
"There is absolutely no way to know, the slave maid changed into the clothes of ordinary people when he left the palace, and he did not mention the identity of the slave and maid to him, so he must not know."
Since the beginning of the Warring States period, there have been some broken aristocrats who practiced martial arts with swords, in order to compete in troubled times and restore the former aristocratic status.
In addition, at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, the country seemed to be as calm as water, but there were still many hidden dangers.
First, Liu Bang cut off the war of the king with a different surname within a few years, and then there was the rebellion of the five kingdoms with the same surname Liu not long ago.
In addition, the beacon fire at the border has never subsided for generations.
This provided a breeding ground for the growth and spread of the Ranger style, so that the number of Ranger increased dramatically, and some ruffians, powerful bullies, and even rooster and dog thieves also regarded themselves as Rangers.
These people took advantage of the local robbery, bullied men and women, fished and meat villagers, and completely lost the original intention of the early Han Dynasty rangers to "help the poor and urgent" and act chivalrous and righteous, and gradually became a pity.
However, for the rangers, Liu Rong has really never been in contact,
But Liu Rong knew that the rangers must be a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all the disciples of the three religions and nine streams.
even heard that Wang Sheng said that as long as he was allowed to do anything with gold, Liu Rong was even more worried.
If this person leaks this, someone will suspect me!
In this way, Liu Rong said: "Wang Sheng! You don't think anyone else knows about it."
Wang Sheng immediately knelt down and said, "No! The slave and the maid pledge their lives, and no one else can know."
For Wang Sheng's loyalty, Liu Rong is still relieved, if his master falls, as Liu Rongzhi's personal servant, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
Liu Rong nodded, and said to Wang Sheng: "You go to the Imperial Governor's Office and go to inform Zhang Tang that His Royal Highness has recently heard a report that there is a bully in Chang'an City, named Li Tong." He killed several people, but he was not arrested, so he was ordered to arrest him and take him to the court lieutenant's office for strict interrogation! ”。
Hearing His Royal Highness say this, Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Rong meant.
"No!" After speaking, Wang Sheng turned around and hurried out of the palace.
After living in the palace for more than ten years, Liu Rong has learned that everything must be done with the worst-case scenario, and everything must be prepared in advance.
However, this is a crucial time, and there must be no mistakes in any link.
Uncertain dangers should be nippled in the bud. If this matter is known to the rest of the concubines and princes in the palace or to Liu Wu, Liu Rongke will be completely finished.
Hearing Liu Rong's order, it was only half an hour before Wang Sheng arrived at the Imperial Governor's Office.
As soon as he saw Zhang Tang, he said to him: "Zhang Xuan, Your Highness has ordered me to inform you of something."
Hearing that it was Liu Rong's order, Zhang Tang asked, "What is the order of His Highness?" ”。
"Your Highness has a saying, there is a bully named Li Tong in Chang'an City, who often bullies men and women in Chang'an, and even kills people, His Highness orders you to arrest him and interrogate him strictly."
Although Tang Wu didn't know what Liu Rong meant by this, and why he would order himself to arrest the disciples of the first three sects and nine streams, there was one thing about the Legalist Shen Han, that is, only the superior followed.
In other words, as long as it is Liu Rong's order, no matter what it is, Zhang Tang will spare no effort to do it!
"Dare to ask if Your Highness has any other orders?" , Zhang Tangyi asked.
"I have relayed everything Your Highness said, and there is nothing else to say."
After finishing speaking, as soon as he bowed his hand to Tang Wu, Wang Sheng turned around and left......
As soon as Wang Sheng left, Tang Wu went to order someone to check the household registration of Li Tong, and the court lieutenant Chang'an Bureau, acting Chang'an's prison, which has Hucao, which has the household registration directory of Chang'an and Jiaoxiang.
Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, China began to have the germination of a household registration management system, and the "Chinese Zhou Yu" records that in the 39th year of King Xuan of Zhou, he "expected the people to live in Taiyuan", which was a large-scale population survey conducted by the Western Zhou government to grasp the situation of the people.
During the Warring States Period, when the Qin State changed the law from the Shang Dynasty, it combined household registration management with the neighborhood Shiwu joint sitting system. According to the historical records, the household registration at that time was mainly to register the name and height of the existing population. In the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, it was decreed that in order to facilitate the knowledge of the service and rest of each county, the number of soldiers could be recruited.
For the first time, it was ordered that a man's age be recorded in the household register.
In the 31st year of the First Emperor's reign, Ying Zheng issued an edict to "make the head of Qiantou from Shitian", that is, ordering the commoners with land to report the amount of land they occupied to the government, and the household registration system was implemented throughout the Qin territory.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, which compiled and managed the household registration
It was also written into the Han law as a law. There is a chapter in the Nine Chapters of the Han Law, namely the Household Law, which stipulates the household registration system in detail.
The "Household Law" stipulates that "five families are a team, ten families are a family, a hundred families are one mile, ten miles are a pavilion, and ten pavilions are a township", thus establishing a strict management system at the grassroots level.
In addition, each township has three elders, and the county has a household Cao, which is responsible for the management of household registration and population statistics. In addition, the contents of the household register include the name, gender, age, property, property, etc., of the head of the household and the members of the household, and use this as the basis for the levy and payment of service.
Later, the Han family also took August of each year as the month of the general implementation of the national population survey, and increased or decreased it at any time according to the actual situation, so as to ensure that the state had the latest grasp of the household registration situation. The Household Law also stipulates that everyone must register for naturalization, and those who conceal and fail to register shall be punished for crimes.
Therefore, crossing is not so easy to mix, especially if you travel to Qin, where law enforcement is very strict, you can't find out the household registration, and there is no guide, it is difficult to have a place to live.
If others learn that you are a person without household registration, you will be immediately arrested and taken to the county office for punishment, and because the law of joint sitting is determined, you will not be prosecuted, and if you are punished, those who do not report it will also be killed.
But who else can someone be without a hukou? Naturally, it should be regarded as a fine work! He said that he would be killed on the spot.

Zhang Tang was put under Liu Rong's door for nearly half a year, except for the previous trial, he did not make an inch. However, Liu Rong treated him very well all day long, and often rewarded Zhang Tang with some money and wine, and once Liu Rong was happy and rewarded Zhang Tang with ten silk silks.
Zhang Tang was only a city before, and that little food was not enough for Zhang Tang and his mother, Zhang Tang's mother was already old, but she often had to go into the mountains and forests to cut firewood and sell it to subsidize the family, and with the money given by Liu Rong, his family situation improved.
Solid this, where did Zhang Tang wear the clothes made of silk silk before, and when he returned home at dusk that day, he touched the silky silk, and almost jumped up happily.
Then he ran back to his house in a panic with the silk silk in his arms to see his old mother.
Zhang Tang's mother looked at the silk silk that her son got back, and said angrily: "My son was favored by nobles, and he was an official with hundreds of stones, how could he be so ignorant of inspection and covet bribes from others!" If thy Father had a spirit in heaven, he would be angry."
Hearing this, Zhang Tang laughed, and indeed with Zhang Tang's fortune at this time, where did he buy the silk, he couldn't complain that his mother would think so.
"Mother Rongyu, this is not the son who took bribes, but the gift of His Royal Highness."
Hearing this, his mother hurriedly took the silk silk in Zhang Tang's hand, and said excitedly while stroking: "It must be the manifestation of the ancestors of the Zhang family, so that my son is favored by the nobles, and you must do your best to do things for the nobles in order to repay this great kindness."
It is difficult for Shen Han to get ahead at this time, and he is so favored by Liu Rong, where does Zhang Tang not repay him with his life.
Now that Liu Rong has commanded, how can Zhang Tang not be in a hurry to do it.
I will do this well, and I will not waste the kindness of His Highness to me!
However, after a while, a small official took out a roll of bamboo slips and walked to Tang Wu, and said: "The villain has found out Li Tong, this person was born in the second year of the first emperor, and his home is in a village in Changlin Township outside the east gate of Chang'an."
Zhang Tang said indifferently: "Go and catch it back!" ”。
"No".
After finishing speaking, this little official took more than a dozen soldiers to arrest people.
I saw Zhang Tang suddenly step forward again and said, "Wait, when you go, bring a carriage, load that person on the carriage, and don't let others see it."
"No!" , the little official bowed his hand and said.
