Chapter 155: The Storm in the Court
Emperor Han Ling looked at Zhang Rang so old and cried below, a little unbearable, and said to Zhang Rang: "Father, you get up and speak, if you are really wronged, I will call the shots for you." ”
Hearing what he wanted, Zhang Rang smiled in his heart, or the crying child has milk to eat!
"Your Majesty Xie's trust, the old slave has been working hard for Your Majesty in the past few years, and he has never slackened? I don't know what Captain Zhao's so-called cunning and robbery is? ”
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister's knowledge, Marquis Zhang is not just a trick and a robbery, but a variety of wealth for sending subordinates to various officials' mansions, which will have an adverse impact on Your Majesty's prestige in the long run." After Zhang Ranggang finished speaking, he wanted to ask Zhao Meng rhetorically, but before Zhao Meng could speak, Yuan Kui, the captain standing in the first row in front, attacked him.
"This ......" Emperor Ling may have listened to Zhao Meng's words, but Yuan Kui, as the head of the Three Princes, said something that could not be listened to, Emperor Ling thought about the deep meaning of Yuan Kui's words at this time.
It's just that this time things didn't go as Emperor Ling wished, and things didn't give him time to think as he imagined.
As soon as Yuan Kui finished speaking, Han Fu was shocked at first, and he didn't expect Yuan Kui to come out of the conversation at this time, so after thinking about it for a while, he also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play." In the past few years, Zhang Rang, who has been robbing fame and fame in various places, frantically accumulating, and brutally plundering hundreds of millions of ill-gotten gains; Perversely, the country harms the government, and brutally oppresses the Han people, and the crime is unforgivable. The minister's entry into Beijing this time is to hope that His Majesty can see the situation, strengthen the courage of people with lofty ideals in the world, and severely punish Zhang Rang and other henchmen. This is the eleven charges of Zhang Rang and others, and I ask Your Majesty to look at it. ”
Zhao Zhong walked down the steps quickly and took the charge that Han Fu was holding. Emperor Ling picked it up and looked at it a few times, only to see that one by one it was shocking, and the matter of forcibly robbing Baiyang paper was listed among them. If these things were really done by Zhang Rang, Liu Hong would want to abolish him on the spot.
Just when Liu Hong was angry and Zhang Rang was dumbfounded, the two of them couldn't imagine that this was the beginning, and then they began to let everyone know what it meant to be bombed in turns.
He Jin: "Your Majesty, the minister has the book to play, and the middle and often serve Zhang Rang to form a party and ...... privately"
Cai Yong: "Your Majesty, the minister has the book to play, and the Zhongchang servant Zhang let the deceive the monarch ......"

Today's Weiyang Palace is a bit different from usual, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty sat on the top with a black face, and the Wenchen military generals below knelt down two-thirds, and many officials who didn't know the situation felt that today was an eye-opener when they saw this situation.
Zhang Rang, as the person concerned, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, muttering in his heart: It's terrible, are these people crazy today?
Not only Zhang Rang is afraid, but Liu Hong is also afraid! This Zhang Jean didn't know what he had done, but he was outraged by so many people.
You must know that there are many factions involved, and even Han Fu, the ambassador of the feudal territory, returned to Beijing specifically to deal with Zhang Rang, but this matter is not simple!
"All right, get up and speak! What is there that everyone has made clear today, Father, you and I tell me, what is going on? Could it be that I've indulged you too much over the years? Look at this pile, one by one, I am a little scared when I see it! I've always trusted you so much, that's how you report me? The more Liu Hong spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he almost pointed at Zhang Rang's nose and scolded.
Zhang Rang's body, which had just stood up halfway through the hearing, hurriedly knelt down again, and cried and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is wronged!" The old slave doesn't know these things at all! ”
"Wronged, one person said you wronged you, ten people said you also wronged you? These sixty or seventy people impeached you together and wronged you? Ahem...... cough ......" Liu Hong's voice got higher and higher, and finally angrily smashed the piece in his hand towards Zhang Rang, coughing angrily.
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
"Your Majesty, the dragon body matters!"
“……”
Seeing that Liu Hong's body was not light, everyone hurriedly came out to persuade Liu Hong to pay attention to his body.
After Liu Hong slowed down a little, he asked, "Father, I usually trust you so much, but you repay me like this?" Tell me, what should I do with you? ”
In fact, at this point, Liu Hong didn't really want to cure Zhang Rang's crime. Zhang Rang may have done some indiscriminate things by relying on himself as a backer, but Liu Hong didn't think he could do anything big. This time, people impeached Zhang Rang for various crimes, and in Liu Hong's heart, it was a matter of nothing.
However, since the matter is getting bigger, there must be a person who takes the blame, and Zhang Rang can't be justified now, so it is actually the most correct way for him not to speak now.
And this incident also gave Liu Hong a wake-up call, because he used to support Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others just to balance the strength between the family and his relatives, and the current three-legged tripod is actually what he wants to see the most. And today's occurrence of such a thing also confirms that the decision he made is correct, the power of the family and relatives is getting stronger and stronger, look at these people kneeling below now, two-thirds of the power is controlled by them, who will not feel comfortable seeing such a leader!
Among these people, if you want to say who can figure out people's hearts more, it is undoubtedly Zhang Rang this person. What he has been able to rise to the top in the palace fighting for so many years is that he will figure out people's hearts, especially Spirit Emperor Liu Hong. Hearing Liu Hong's words, Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that he has been a good person with his tail between his legs during this time, and it is said that a matter of Baiyang Paper actually reacted so much.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has always been loyal to Your Majesty and the Han Dynasty, and has always been hardworking. Over the years, it can be said that there is no merit and hard work, and during this period, many adults may have been offended, and here the old slave apologized to all the adults. The old slave begs His Majesty to give the old slave the death penalty as an example! ”
"Alas!" Liu Hong pretended to sigh, this matter can be handled with a little measure, and it can calm everyone's grievances, and it can also serve as a warning to Zhang Rang, and it must not destroy the current situation of all parties, and it is difficult to be an emperor!
"This matter also has the crime of not investigating, and I can't blame my father for the crime. So be it! For the sake of you serving me for so many years, I will punish you with a year's salary, and within this year you will keep to yourself and stay in the palace to serve me! I will write it down to you this time, and if you let the adults know that you dare to come to me in violation of yin and yang, I will count the two things with you, and I will never forgive you. After Liu Hong finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Kui and the others, and gave a warning look.
Yuan Kui, He Jin, Han Fu and others actually knew that Liu Hong was warning them, it was almost over, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to make a big fuss.
You must know that there are a lot of people in the faction that Zhang Rang has wooed, but it is a bit of a circle to let everyone unite at the beginning, otherwise who doesn't have a few charges in the other party's hands, you can just make up a few on the spot, as long as Liu Hong thinks that who will pursue specific things, for Liu Hong, he just wants a name, and he can do the rest of the things he wants.
"Thank you, old slave, Your Majesty, thank you!" After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he quietly wiped the sweat from his palms and secretly retreated to the side.
To be honest, Zhang Rang was caught off guard today, and several forces suppressed him together, and the justification at that time was already dispensable. That is, Zhang Rang, the leader of the eunuchs, if it were someone else, Liu Hong would have pulled it out and beheaded him in order to calm the anger of the public, and he would have time to listen to so many ink blots from you.
