Chapter 210: The Gambling Contract
"Brother Yuan, you are indeed a little aggressive now.
Daxing Ling didn't say anything, so why tease him like this. ”
It's all now, and Wei Qing still has a trace of fantasy about the master father.
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing, all because Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say.
After being embarrassed for a while, Zhang Yuan asked.
"Do you know what the Lord Father did when he came back?"
"I know, he has already told His Majesty his proposal, and His Majesty will promulgate it in the spring."
Zhang Yuan must know what this suggestion is, and the master father can guess a few things in total.
"Brother Qing, I don't want to persuade you any more.
Don't persuade me, let's take a look at what happens to the master.
How about a bet? ”
"How to bet?"
Wei Qing is now very optimistic about the future of the master father, and now in the court, apart from him, Wei Qing is the most favored by the master father.
He also wanted to correct Zhang Yuan's arrogant and arrogant character, and Zhang Yuan, who was low-key at first, was the most perfect brother image in his heart.
"Within three years, the Lord Father will surely suffer a great calamity, and there will be no place to bury him."
Even if his little butterfly has been inciting, Zhang Yuan has no doubts about the matter of the master father.
This man will surely die.
Dou Ying was able to survive, it was a mistake.
Tian Wei's survival is the most fundamental change in his character, and it is also because Dou Ying did not die, and Liu Che's complaints about him also dispersed because he let go of power.
As for the master's father, when he returned to Chang'an, he immediately ran to report Liu Dingguo, the king of Yan, and then Liu Dingguo committed suicide.
During Liu Che's reign, there were many princes and kings who violated the law and discipline, and fornication with kings was even more common.
Since the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty have been deposed.
Neither the power to govern the kingdom nor the appointment of high-ranking officials is effectively deprived of political power for life.
Moreover, the ministers of the feudal kingdoms were all sent by the empire to spy on them.
If you are full and do nothing all day long, can a normal person still do it?
In a few hundred years, you will still be able to meditate and chant Buddha, but in an era when the atmosphere is so open, there will only be one entertainment life left.
Only a very few of the princes and kings abolished by Liu Che had the idea of rebellion, and the rest of the sins seemed to be very serious, but in any other dynasty, the princes and kings would not be forced to commit suicide or be demoted to concubines.
Even if it is a prince, a king cannot sin, and if he commits a crime, he is even more unlucky than ordinary people.
After his father reported Liu Dingguo, the king of Yan, and caused him to commit suicide, the princes of the Han Dynasty were afraid of his father like a tiger.
However, this does not mean that everyone is afraid of him, they are just worried that he will find trouble.
Even if the princes and kings have no power or power, they still represent a force, and they still have a great right to speak.
At least after entering Chang'an, you can go directly to the Queen Mother to complain, and the princes like Zhang Yuan don't have this treatment.
And some people are destined to get the support of these princes and kings, so Zhang Yuan concluded that since the master father Yan has opened this head, it is impossible to go back.
"Brother Yuan is so sure?"
"I'm a little unsure about three years, if I'm sure, I'll bet with you that my father will die within a year."
"Brother Yuan, do you think that the master father will end up like Chao Cuo?
Your Majesty is much wiser than Emperor Xiaojing. ”
"Brother Qing, let's take a look.
If the Lord Father dies within three years, and it is an unnatural death, then I win.
If he hadn't died, then I would have lost.
As for the bets, whoever loses must listen to the words of the person who wins, and there can be no more mustard in his heart. ”
Wei Qing did not rush to agree to Zhang Yuan's bet, but turned his head to look at the back of the master father.
After weighing and calculating it in my heart, I felt that this bet was actually harmless whether I won or lost.
Zhang Yuan won, which means that the master father Yan is indeed evil, and his own thoughts have always been wrong.
If Zhang Yuan loses, his own idea is right, the two brothers can repair the relationship, and Zhang Yuan can also know that he was wrong from the beginning.
Winning or losing is beneficial to everyone, in Wei Qing's opinion, if you agree, you will agree.
But he didn't know that the outcome of this gamble was already doomed from the moment Zhang Yuan opened his mouth.
"Brother Yuan, I agreed.
This gamble will take effect today, but you can't end up hurting your master. ”
"I won't."
Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head, and then strode towards the outside of Jianzhang Palace.
Gongsun Hong has also been sitting in the position of Zuo Neishi for too long, and he will not fail to take advantage of such a good live target sent to him by the master father.
After a cup of tea, in the Tianliang Palace of Jianzhang Palace, a little eunuch told Liu Che about the dispute between Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing in the front hall just now.
Liu Che was in a good mood after listening to it, but Liu Che didn't know the content of Zhang Yuan's conversation with Wei Qing.
The relationship between Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing is getting worse and worse, which is the situation that the emperor wants to see.
Otherwise, the combination of Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan, plus Princess Pingyang and Wei Zifu, who is now with a big belly, will have to be counted together with Gongsun Hong.
Such a lineup is already the strongest lineup of Dahan.
One of the most favored concubines, a princess of the Han Dynasty, the strongest Cao family in the Han Dynasty except for the Liu family, and then three liehous, these three lieges also have official positions, one third duke, and two doctors.
If there is really no contradiction between these people, it is estimated that no one will be able to influence the remarks above the court, especially the remarks above the military.
And now Li Guang has been demoted to a concubine, and now Wei Qing in the army of the Han Dynasty can become his hall of words as long as he wants to.
Today's quarrel between Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing made Liu Che let go of some concerns in his heart.
Zhang Yuan didn't know this, he planned to go back to Du County after leaving Jianzhang Palace.
Li Jiao is deliberately sheltered by Liu Che, so what else can Zhang Yuan do, at least for Wuqiu Shouwang and them now, it can be regarded as a good result.
When he returned to Duxian Taixue, Zhang Yuan met King Wuqiu Shou at the gate of Taixue.
It seemed that the envoy of the imperial court was going to tell him about it one step faster.
"Taixue Ling, Xiaguan's previous complaint was not intentional, nor did he mean to say that."
Earlier, King Wuqiu Shouwang complained to Zhang Yuan that there was no chance of promotion in Taixue, and Zhang Yuan kept this matter in mind.
Otherwise, King Wuqiu Shou was not injured this time, and Zhang Yuan did not need to mention him.
"It doesn't matter, you are in the prime of life, you have been training in the Imperial Doctor's Mansion for a year or two, and you have appeared by Your Majesty's side, isn't it that Your Majesty likes literati like you."
Zhang Yuan patted his arm, and then handed the reins of the war horse to the guards who came over.
"Go inside, it doesn't have to be like this."
"Hmm."
It is impossible for King Wuqiu Shou not to be moved now.
The reality is cruel, this world is like this, people who have been dangling in front of Liu Che have a more than ten times higher chance of promotion than people in other places.
The Qing doctor in Beijing was promoted to the third duke the most, and as for the remaining dozens of county guards in the Han Dynasty, there were more than 100 captains, who knew them.
As an old man of the Three Dynasties, Wen Weng's reputation has spread all over Bashu, and people outside will mention Wen Weng when they mention Bashu.
Is his ability worse than that of Gongsun Hong?
It must not be bad, and Wen Weng is still Liu Che's favorite path.
But in the end, he died in the position of the county guard of Shu County, and died of old age rather than other reasons.
It can be seen how important it is to show a sense of existence, and it is estimated that there are many officials of two thousand stones in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Che has never seen it.
The official of a thousand stones, which is also the most visible in the imperial history.
King Wuqiu Shou is now transferred to the past, Liu Che will not let him go to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion to stay, and he will definitely settle in Lantai in the end.
Zhang Yuan also knew in his heart that Liu Che was finally able to agree today, and he also remembered the relationship between him and King Wuqiu Shou in the past.
These writers who accompanied Liu Che through his youth still occupy a certain space in Liu Che's heart.
When the two of them returned to the Taixue Ling Mansion and Zhang Yuan's office, King Wuqiu Shou could also say something.
"The lower officials still have to thank Taixue Ling for recommending and promoting."
This time, several people from Taixue were transferred back to Chang'an, and everyone knew what the reason was.
Zhang Yuan turned the page on Li Jiao's intrusion into Taixue, hurting others, and even killing himself.
Speaking of which, it is a little compensation made by Liu Che for Zhang Yuan's compromise.
After all, it was necessary to compensate, Zhang Yuan could have put forward some favorable conditions for himself, but Zhang Yuan finally helped Wuqiu Shouwang and them.
"Needless to say, in the future, you will enter the Imperial Doctor's Mansion and help me take care of Wang Qing.
It is the most well-informed place in the Han Dynasty, and all news must be transferred to the Imperial Doctor.
If I have any difficulties and need your help, you can repay the favor when the time comes. ”
Explaining to King Wuqiu Shou in this way will make him feel less pressure in his heart.
Wei Qing said that Zhang Yuan was arrogant and domineering, but those were all outsiders.
For his own people, Zhang Yuan can't be ruthless.
"Xiaguan understands that as long as the Taixue Order is useful to the Xiaguan, the Xiaguan will spare no effort to help the Taixue Order."
"Alright, so be it.
I'm a little tired, you can go down first. ”
Zhang Yuan had already issued an order to expel the guests, but King Wuqiu Shou still stopped in place and did not leave.
"Taixue Ling, there is one more thing that Xia Guan needs to remind you."
"What's the matter?"
"Xiaguan will go to Chang'an in three days, but what about the vacant position of Taixuecheng?
Your temperament, if Your Majesty brings someone who is not very good with you, you will definitely not be happy in your heart in the future. ”
Halfway through Wuqiu Shouwang's words, Zhang Yuan slapped his thigh violently.
The most important thing was forgotten.
And the key thing is that Zhang Yuan remembered that he still owed someone a favor and still hasn't paid it back.
"Is Kong Anguo still in Taixue now?"
"Never left."
"Go get him."
"Do you mean to let Kong Anguo take the position of Taixuecheng?"
"I will only write him a letter recommending him, after all, it is an important official position, how can I decide privately?"
"Xia Guan understands."
What Kong Anguo needs is a vacant position and a letter of recommendation.
If anyone thinks that as a descendant of Confucius, Kong Anguo is just a literati, then he really underestimates him.
Maybe no one in Kong Anguo's family is an official, but the Kong family is a big family.
There are people behind him, and when there is no chance, the people behind him will not push him.
But once Zhang Yuan gave Kong Anguo a chance, would the people of the Kong family watch an extremely important official position slip out of the hands of the Kong family.
Taixue Cheng is the second highest official in Taixue, and the importance of Taixue is equally important to Confucian students in the world.
Kong Anguo had an uncle, although he died before he could speak, but it was also his uncle.
Only the genealogy of the Confucian family is the most famous in all of China, and it has been valued in every dynasty.
So the family ties are also a little closer.
Kong Anguo's uncle is a bit outrageous when he talks about it.
A descendant of Confucius was able to raise troops with Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in Mangdang Mountain.
I feel a little unbelievable when I say it, and I don't know how a hooligan leader, a descendant of Confucius, can get involved when he starts the army.
No matter how the two of them got along, Kong Anguo's uncle, the ninth grandson of Confucius, finally followed Liu Bang to fight monsters and upgrade, and finally survived and became the founding hero of the Han Dynasty.
As the earliest minister of the dragon, Kong Anguo's uncle is not low.
The Marquis of Kong, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, ranked 30th.
After 70 years, more than 100, it can be ranked 30 shows its importance.
Kong Yi's son, Kong Zang, has now inherited his title, and in two years he will be able to become the secretary of the emperor, but he is only too often.
Although Kong Zang was too often finished after two years of work, the results were still very good.
In Dahan, the official position of Taichang is jokingly called a little expert in winning knighthoods.
Because it is an official position in charge of etiquette, and if the etiquette thing wants to restore the ancient times exactly as it says in the book, it is more difficult than asking Zhang Yuan to go to the border to kill dozens of Huns.
Therefore, there are few people who can do it in this position, and most of them are punished for a small mistake.
The punishment is also very simple, depriving you of your title.
The descendants of the founding heroes were robbed of the most titles because of gold.
The second unimaginable thing is that it is outrageous because you are an official who is too often, in fact, the emperor wants to find a reason to abolish your feudal state.
There is no way, Liu Bang is too good to his brother, leaving a bunch of troubles for his children and grandchildren to solve.
There are more than 100 heroes, everyone is a marquis, and everyone has a feudal country.
said that he shared the world with his brothers, and in the end, it was really divided.
For thousands of years, the best founding emperor for the founding heroes is really Liu Bang.
The few who were killed were really self-defeating, and Han Xin didn't kill him even if he rebelled against Liu Bang, and in the end it was Lu Hou who killed him.
The ancestor was too good to his brothers, and Liu Che had to find a way to solve it.
But now Kong Zang has not been resolved, and the Marquis is still one of the most important big families in the Han Dynasty, and the entire family of the Kong family has to be supported.
Zhang Yuan only needs to dial it slightly, and the people of the Kong family will exert force behind him to push Kong Anguo to the position of Taixuecheng.
