Chapter 251: Wind and Rain
Because the war went smoothly, the Hun evil king of the Huns was about to take refuge in the Han Dynasty.
The threat from the north has been reduced to the lowest point since Liu Che's accession to the throne, and a very important point in time has come early.
The master's father went to Qi to be the prime minister some time ago, and not long after, the news came that the king of Qi had committed suicide.
There is also a small story about the master's father.
After returning to the Qi Kingdom, the master father gathered his brothers and guests, took five hundred gold and threw them in front of them, and counted everyone on the spot.
You ignored me back then, and now I can't afford to let you climb high.
Then let them take the money one by one and get out, and don't enter his house again.
Then ushered in the report of King Zhao, the lord father almost offended the princes and kings, this time the lord father was Qi Xiang, and the king of Qi committed suicide.
gave a reason to the princes and kings, and even if Liu Che no longer liked these princes and kings, he still arrested the master father.
However, Liu Che didn't want to kill the master father Yan directly, after all, he felt that the master father Yan was still somewhat useful.
In addition, not long after the implementation of the Tui En Order, the person who gave the advice was killed, and it was not a good reputation to spread it in public or private.
Gongsun Hong and the master father are old rivals.
At this time, he immediately jumped out and ran to Jianzhang Palace to talk to Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, the king of Qi committed suicide, he didn't even have any descendants, so such a large vassal state was removed, and then turned into a county and included in the imperial court, and the lord father Yan was the culprit in this matter.
If Your Majesty doesn't kill your lord's father, then you won't be able to explain it to the people of the world! ”
Liu Che had a headache, he was only thinking about rectifying the King of Huainan first, but his King Qi suddenly committed suicide.
It just so happened that Huainan was one of the vassal states that refused to implement the Tui En Order, and this lord father Yan was the planner of the Tui En Order.
This is the killing of the master's father, and it will really be difficult to do things in the future.
"This matter will be postponed, and the result will be determined when the master father is escorted back to Chang'an City."
Gongsun Hong was unwilling to go out of Jianzhang Palace.
But there is nothing to do, he plans to gather another group of people to play together, and he must kill the master father.
Zhang Yuan didn't know so many things, he only knew that Gongsun Hong didn't care about Kong Anguo's threat.
He knew that Gongsun Hong would come to Jianzhang Palace today, so he directly blocked him outside the palace.
"Yo, isn't this the internal history of Gongsun."
"Xia Guan has seen Xin Anhou, and when Xin Anhou got married, Xia Guan was entangled in official business, so he couldn't go to see him."
Gongsun Hong, the old man, was the only minister in Chang'an who did not go to Zhang Yuan's wedding.
Even Zhang Tang gave Zhang Yuan face and went with a thin gift.
Only his grandson Hong is awesome, and he has to show a difference from others.
"I heard that you are stuck in the path of Taixue students?"
"There's nothing to do, it's just that the local governments under the jurisdiction of the lower officials are full, and they really can't stuff people."
"Really full?"
"Really!"
"Then I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check the files and take a look?"
"Xin Anhou laughed, it's just a trivial matter, so you don't need to bother to drive.
You see, this is not the only place in the world where Xia Guan can stuff people, do you say? ”
Zhang Yuan watched Gongsun Hong get older and older, the more bad his stomach became, and his heart was uncomfortable.
This old guy is amiable on the surface, but inside he is a lord who will repay him, and his heart is very small.
"Since that's the case, I don't bother to say anything, so I'll enter the palace now and make it clear to Your Majesty, and transfer Dong Zi back to Chang'an from Jiangduguo.
Seeing that the prime minister and the imperial doctor are getting old, Dong Zi is the best candidate to take over. ”
Zhang Yuan knew that Gongsun Hong would be avenged, and he also knew that if he was in trouble in the future, Gongsun Hong would definitely be the first person to tell Liu Che that he would kill himself.
But Zhang Yuan still said so.
Gongsun Hong regarded Dong Zhongshu as his lifelong enemy.
There are two main reasons.
First, Dong Zhongshu thinks that Gongsun Hong has a bad character, can Gongsun Hong endure it?
The second is that Gongsun Hong's knowledge is not as good as Dong Zhongshu, and now Zhang Yuan's sentence of Dong Zi has angered Gongsun Hong.
"Xin'anhou is forcing the old man."
"Forcing you? Who promised me in the first place? And who recommended whom to the position of Zuo Neishi.
Don't forget the source of drinking water, Zuo Neishi thinks that he has forgotten everything about the beginning.
Now you want to use the matter of getting rid of the lord and father to win over other ministers, and I will not stop you.
But don't give me a loop, you know.
Seeing that you are old and don't want to meet you in general, do you know where Li Guangren is now?
The military exploits I earned in Fuyangju Mountain have not been exchanged for real benefits, so you have to block in front of me at this time?
The Wanhu Marquis of the Han Dynasty now only has the Pingyang Marquis, but there will soon be the Changping Marquis and the Xin'an Marquis.
You, a minister, really want to understand how to fight against the three of us on your own?
Oh yes, my wife is still the Marquis of Wen, Confucianism is not the only one, we don't have to participate in the battle between Confucianism, but we don't mind supporting Dong Zhongshu.
In addition, aren't there those people from the Xiahou family in "Guliang Chunqiu", who are looking for a way to become officials. ”
Zhang Yuan said it very bluntly, but in fact, Gongsun Hong really didn't want to go against Zhang Yuan.
That really can't be done.
He simply didn't want to pave the way for Kong Anguo, and the students who learned too much will be Kong Anguo's capital in the future.
And it just so happened that Kong Anguo and Dong Zhongshu were all the way, and they Confucian students looked down on halfway monks from their bones.
Liu Che and Zhang Yuan only think that Gongsun Hong is also a great Confucian, but they don't know that there is a difference between a great Confucian and a great Confucian.
In terms of learning, Gongsun Hong estimates that he will not be able to catch up with Dong Zhongshu until he dies, so he can only think about becoming an official, so that he can win Dong Zhongshu once.
However, if Dong Zhongshu returns to Chang'an City, there will definitely be nothing to do with Gongsun Hong.
Liu Che reuses Confucianism, only one person is needed, and the meaning is to show the Confucian students in the world.
really used Confucianism as an official, and the first one to go crazy was him Liu Che.
Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism violates the law with literature.
Liu Che didn't like Confucianism from the bottom of his heart, he only liked the Confucian set of theoretical ideas that were suitable for him to engage in centralization.
Xia Guan understood, Xin Anhou told the truth, and the old man was grateful.
Later, when I go back, I will let the people below follow the usual rules. ”
"Since the old gentleman knows how to do it, then I'll go first."
Zhang Yuan didn't hide it, he said it directly at the gate of Jianzhang Palace, half of which was said to Liu Che.
Just let Liu Che see, I'm not a good person, I have also set up a bunch of enemies, and I am very arrogant.
Gongsun Hong can't get used to people who are more talented than himself.
Therefore, he hated Dong Zhongshu and his master's father.
Now that Dong Zhongshu is far away from the center, the threat to him is not very great, but the master father is a person who can make waves in the court.
Moreover, the main father Yan is an important minister of the inner dynasty, and Gongsun Hong is an important minister of the outer dynasty.
Liu Che is inward-looking, otherwise he would not have temporarily inspired the entire inner dynasty to come out.
The first confrontation between the master father Yan and Gongsun Hong was when Shuofang County was set up, and finally Liu Che listened to the advice of the master father Yan.
From this point, it can be seen that Liu Che is still willing to listen to the officials of the Inner Dynasty.
Although Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing are burdened with the official positions of the outer dynasty, they have been people of the inner dynasty from the beginning.
Those who add officials are the important ministers of the Inner Dynasty.
In this way, Gongsun Hong's psychology is even more distorted.
Now how can he easily let go of the lord and father, the next time the princes and kings commit suicide, the ghost knows if it will have something to do with the lord and father.
Gongsun Hong also knew that Zhang Yuan was not dealing with the master's father, so he didn't worry about Zhang Yuan at all.
As soon as he got home, he began to write.
He wanted to write a document for Liu Che, and he couldn't let his master father return to Chang'an City to meet Liu Che.
Everyone is an expert at moving their mouths, and if you really let the master father return to Chang'an, maybe something else will happen.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty has feelings for the head father of the country, and the master father has indeed made meritorious contributions to the country.
But His Majesty's desire to eliminate the power of the princes and consolidate the centralized power is a matter for all to see.
At present, the suicide of the king of Qi led to the expulsion of the Qi country, which is a good thing for His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, but this incident has caused a shock among the princes and kings.
The princes and kings are all in danger and want to put pressure on Your Majesty, and the princes of the world are already dissatisfied, how can Your Majesty give them a chance to unite.
It is a fact that the lord father abused his power to force the king of Qi to kill, and His Majesty can use this to calm the anger of the princes and kings and punish a guilty person, will it make His Majesty unbearable?
Kill the master father Yan and give an explanation to the whole world, and His Majesty will take advantage of the situation and take down Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan.
In this way, not only the threat of the Xiongnu, but also the instability factors in the country, will no longer be a matter for His Majesty to worry about. ”
The master father read this document several times, folded it well, stuffed it into an envelope, and asked the waiters in the house to deliver it to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion, and then to Liu Che's hand.
This kind of document, the imperial historian Zhang Ou will not intercept it at all.
Will only open one eye and close one eye.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gongsun Hong's documents were delivered to Liu Che's desk.
In any case, Gongsun Hong is one of the ministers, and his documents are to be treated specially.
The documents sent by these officials will be presented to Liu Che first, and then those with low official positions will be seen.
However, in order to strengthen his control over the Han, Liu Che read these documents, and often read them all day, forgetting to eat and sleep.
Zhang Yuan sometimes wonders how Liu Che, who works so hard, lives to such an old age.
In terms of diligence, Liu Che can definitely stand out among these hundreds of emperors.
After Liu Che finished reading Gongsun Hong's documents, the balance in his heart immediately tilted to one end.
The life of the master father is more important than the end.
Liu Che made up his mind to give his father a death.
Rabbits and dogs are cooked, people go tea and cool, this kind of thing is cold-blooded when the emperor is the emperor.
After making up his mind, Liu Che immediately began to write an edict to the death of the master's father, and he was also worried that he would hesitate after seeing the master's father.
But what Gongsun Hong said was right, he killed the lord's father Yan to give those princes and kings face.
When the time comes, he will do it to some people, and if there are still princes and kings showing their heads, then don't blame yourself for being polite.
For the master father, although Liu Che has a pity, there is only a trace of it.
Earlier, Liu Che had a conversation with Ji Di.
Ji Di persuaded Liu Che not to kill talented people, he felt that Liu Che recruited talents on the one hand, and killed talents indiscriminately on the other hand.
If this continues, all the people in the world will be killed.
If all the talents are killed, you Liu Che will have no one to govern the world.
As a result, Liu Che smiled.
He said that Ji Dixian ate radish and didn't worry about it, Liu Che felt that there were so many talents in the world that they couldn't be killed, as long as they had the eye to find talents, why should they worry about no talents.
It was because of this conversation that Zhang Yuan knew that he was not important in Liu Che's heart.
Didn't kill him, just didn't have a chance to kill him.
Similarly, Zhang Yuan is still useful to Liu Che now.
To be like the lord and father, in order to take it out to offset the anger of some of the princes and kings, kill it.
If one day, Zhang Yuan provokes the people of the whole world, Liu Che will also choose to kill Zhang Yuan and calm the anger of the whole world.
And Zhang Yuan will not be let go because of how much he has contributed to the Han.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's opponents are all unhappy existences that make most people unhappy.
Zhang Yuan hopes that the master father will die, this kind of person will look at people with his nostrils after he is developed, and it is not normal to not die.
And when the master's father died, Wei Qing could understand that what Zhang Yuan said was right.
You can also see what people all over the world think of the Lord Father.
Although there are not many people who step on the lord's father's side like Gongsun Hong these days, no one stands up to speak for the lord's father.
Zhang Yuan used his own manpower to find out that the people of Jifu were now in a village in the north of Chang'an City.
There are not many places in Chang'an City for ordinary people to live, and those who can live in the city are not ordinary people.
So outside the city walls, a part of the residential area was expanded.
However, it can only be expanded in the north, and the other three sides of Chang'an City are said to be city walls, but in fact they are more like palace walls.
Three-quarters of the entire Chang'an area is occupied by palaces of all kinds.
Another tenth of the place was where the nobles lived, and the remaining half was a bazaar, and the other half was where the commoners lived.
And there are 200,000 civilians in Chang'an City, and it is already good to be able to live 30,000 or 40,000 people in that place where civilians live.
The rest of the people lived outside the city, and they went into the city during the day and went out at sunset.
The surplus products of cultivation, or the products produced by some craftsmen, were sold to the nobles in the city.
The East and West Cities were built for the nobles, and the emperor didn't want to see the capital deserted.
There has to be a lively place.
Since the main father Yan was transferred to Qi to be the prime minister, Ji Fu, who has a keen sense of smell, knows that the main father Yan is going to be unlucky.
He did the same thing as he did with his previous masters, he chose not to say anything and left quietly.
However, his traces were still discovered by Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan didn't bring his entourage, and went to this small village called Taohua Village alone to see Jifu.
To tell the truth, Ji Fu is the person who has been in contact with Zhang Yuan for the longest time in Chang'an City.
Tian Tian and Tian Wei returned to their fiefdom, and the originally lively Wu'an Hou Mansion was empty.
Now the old people are left with only the blessings of their origins.
