Zhang Yue carefully observed the expression of the Son of Heaven, and after discovering that His Majesty was actually not angry, his heart was half relieved.

In fact, when he decided to sell Huang Lao's thoughts to Empress Wei, he had already considered the consequences.

But, he knew, this thing had to be done.

Moreover, there is not much risk!

Today, they are now sixty-four years old.

The grievances and grievances of the year have long since disappeared with time.

Besides, even if the Son of Heaven doesn't like it, I'm afraid he can't be blamed.

Because......

At the beginning, Zhang Yue's label was very distinct in front of His Majesty - Huang Lao Outcast.

Although he is an outcast, he is also a moral man of Huang Lao.

Since this is the case, there is naturally no problem in advocating and propagating Huang Lao's thought.

When today's son is not the Holy Lord of the Qing Dynasty, Mingjun, he will cut down the whole family and kill the nine clans because of the words that are not even insinuations, such as 'Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through books'.

The old Liu family didn't do it to the point where they would play word hell.

Even the angry young Dong Zhongshu can become a Confucian leader in the Han family.

Zhang Yue's behavior, if he dies, is to be punished with three glasses of wine, and he will not be an example.

Therefore, Zhang Yue is very bold.

There is no fear.

The Son of Heaven laughed a few times and skipped the topic.

After all, he still has to rely on Zhang Yue to guide him to maintain his health and prolong his life.

And, actually, it's not a big deal.

At most, I feel a little unhappy.

Of course, this is also Zhang Yue.

If you change a person and dare to do this, your head will not fall off, but it is inevitable to go to the toe and the key to go on a journey.

"In addition to the Tao Te Ching, what else did the queen say to Heqing?" The Son of Heaven suddenly asked.

"The queen didn't say anything...... Zhang Yue lowered his head and said: "However, by chance, the minister saw the late Changping Marquis outside the Jiaofang Palace, knelt in front of the palace gate, and apologized to the queen for ......."

"The minister was curious, so he asked, I heard that Wei Ling had done something wrong and sinned against the country, so he pleaded with the queen, and the queen resolutely refused, so Wei Ling knelt at the palace gate......"

"When the minister heard this, he came here to meet His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to pardon Wei and his wife for the sake of the general Changping Liehou......"

The queen didn't talk to Zhang Yue about Wei Yan?

The Son of Heaven laughed as he listened.

He really doesn't know the truth of this matter.

After all, although the emperor and the queen of the Han family have been separated for more than 20 years, their feelings for each other have long faded.

But out of respect, the Son of Heaven has never interfered in the affairs of the East Palace, nor has he paid attention to it.

However......

has been married for decades, and the Son of Heaven knows his queen quite well.

Empress Wei was born humbly, and her mother was a singer and a mother in the world, so she was very concerned about her family members.

The gentlemen of Wei's relatives have to make dozens of cases every year.

However, as long as it can be protected, this queen will spare no effort to protect it.

So......

The Son of Heaven is as clear in his heart as a mirror.

Zhang Yue's words, I am afraid that it is true and false, false and true, about nine true and one false or nine false and one true.

However, the Son of Heaven did not care.

After all, he knew that in this kind of thing, it was a fool or someone with ulterior motives to tell the truth.

intends to separate the husband and wife of the heavenly family and provoke the harem.

This kind of thing, the Son of Heaven has experienced a lot.

Therefore, he looked at Zhang Yue with a smile and asked, "Qing doesn't seem to have any friendship with that Wei Yan, right?" ”

"Moreover, this guard has repeatedly corrupted the law of the country, and when the general is in Japan, I already have the heart to give the law to him, but it is the general who insists on it, so I am extra gracious and forgive him!"

"Now, it's stubborn, it's damned!"

Zhang Yue immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister really has no friendship with Wei Yan...... Even, some of them are disdainful ......"

"However, he is the son of the general, and the most admired in his life is the general Changping Liehou and the great Sima champion Jing Henghou, and I can't wait to be a lackey for the two of them, follow him to chase the north, step on the single in the court, and capture the single in Chang'an!"

"Today, the champion Hou is dead, and the Han family can no longer bear the consequences of the death of the Hou of Changping!" Zhang Yue raised his head and pleaded sincerely: "I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

The Son of Heaven listened, slightly flustered.

I remembered the days when the general was alive.

Few people know that in his later years, the general of the Han family and Hou Weiqing of Changping, he was actually an inhuman form who was riddled with illness and even tortured by illness.

However, in this case, Wei Qing still insisted on entering the palace every month to discuss and formulate strategies with him and deploy military operations.

Wei Qing's loyalty is obvious to all and known to the world.

"Alas......" The Son of Heaven slowly closed his eyes: "What Qing said is not unreasonable......

Zhang Yue's words really moved him.

After the champion Hou is the heir, the Changping Hou is the heir.

What do people in the world think of him?

How to look at the Han family?

I'm afraid conspiracy theories are about to flourish. Especially in the Qilu area, those slow rules, I'm afraid there will be something to say again.

It's just that......

"Does Qing know that this Wei couple is one of the culprits who conspired with Gongsun Qing to kill Aiqing?" The Son of Heaven asked slowly: "In this way, is Qing still willing to open the net?" ”

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven stared at Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue's scalp was a little numb when he was seen by the Son of Heaven, and his back was cold.

He knew that the next answer would be a great test of his speaking skills and language organization skills.

One is not good, I'm afraid that Wei Yan's death is a certainty, and he has to take a lot of his good feelings in front of the Son of Heaven.

It can't be helped, rulers have always been like this.

Not to mention today, even Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who is known for his gentle temper and broad-mindedness, will still cooperate with him for fifteen years because of the Xin Hengping case, and the left and right humerus that are close to each other, and Zhang Cang, the famous minister of the Han family, will go home.

For what is the purpose of your work for the king? It doesn't really matter.

It's the starting point that counts.

The emperor has always been idealistic, he is satisfied, everything is easy to say.

If he is not satisfied, or even disgusted......

No matter how good you think and how correct your position is, you have to go home and plant sweet potatoes.

"Your Majesty, this matter was already known when the minister pleaded with the queen...... Zhang Yue bowed his head and said: "When the minister first heard it, he was also very angry...... And ......"

"Wei Yan's previous bad deeds, the minister has also heard of it......"

"It's just ......" Zhang Yue raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, and said sincerely: "In the hearts of the ministers, the righteousness of the country is more important than Mount Tai, the safety of the society is above everything, Your Majesty's great cause is higher than all things in the world!" ”

"The grace of His Majesty's knowledge, the righteousness of the country's upbringing, and the virtue of the education of the fathers and neighbors, the ministers always keep it in mind, and dare not forget it!"

"The reason why the minister pleaded with His Majesty and forgave Wei is not out of selfishness, but a piece of sincerity to His Majesty!"

"I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

The Son of Heaven listened, remembered what Zhang Yue said before, and nodded secretly.

It seems that this is indeed the case, and the logic is very harmonious.

Wei and his wife are alone, and it is not a pity to die.

But if he dies because of his crimes, Wei Qing will be ashamed, and he will give people a handle, so that many people will shout 'After the Han family treats the heroes harshly'.

It is not conducive to the rule of the Han dynasty and is not conducive to the national policy.

It's just that......

The Son of Heaven lowered his head, looked at Zhang Yue, and sighed leisurely: "The law, the first emperor is also established, and the high emperor is controlled, can I be angry because of Wei Yan, and the first emperor's law, Gao Dide?" ”

"Husband, if a sinner breaks the law, if he is not punished, how can the people of the world be convinced in the long run?"

"The Han family system law, the punishment has no rank, if I am bad, what face do I have to see the previous emperors under Jiuquan?"

Back then, his nephew Chen Zhao, holding the edict of avoiding death, still abandoned the city.

How can Wei and his wife have the reason to break the law and not be guilty?

However, when Zhang Yue listened, he knew that in fact, the Son of Heaven had already moved.

It's just that there are no steps down.

Just like at the beginning, his nurse Jin Shu was arrested for violating the law, and the matter was under the court lieutenant, and the court lieutenant planned to die.

Although the Son of Heaven couldn't bear it, he was also helpless.

Dongfang Shuo, who was serving beside him at that time, saw the details, so he taught Jin Shu three steps and one time, five steps and one tear, and scolded Jin Shu: Now that the emperor has grown up, he doesn't need to eat your milk, what are you still thinking? Let's go, hurry up and die!

As a result, Jin Shi was pardoned by the Son of Heaven.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven gave Dongfang Shuo dozens of gold to praise his merits.

This story is well known to everyone in Chang'an City.

It was even made into a Chiyou opera, which was widely sung.

Of course, Zhang Yue also knew, and when Zhang Yue listened, he said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to pardon Wei ......."

"According to the Han law, capital crimes can be offset with titles and gold ......"

"Wei Yan's conspiracy and thieves murdered the minister, although the crime is unforgivable, but he is the son of the general, the son of Pingyangism, and His Majesty can reduce the crime as appropriate...... It is hereby decreed that he shall be given a knighthood and gold to atone for his crimes......"

Hearing this, the face of the Son of Heaven softened.

The Han family is now a world where the god of five baht money is in charge.

No matter if the nobleman violates the law, as long as it is not a particularly serious crime, he can atone for it with five baht money.

In addition, since the Qin Dynasty, the title can also be atoneted. For example, back then, Zhang Budo and others murdered Chu domestic history, which was atonerated by the title.

After all, the Han dynasty was a feudal dynasty, not a modern society for later generations.

Not to mention, even in the developed Western society under the rule of law in later generations, people are treated differently in the courts.

For example, before Zhang Yue crossed, he saw a news that there was a college student in the United Kingdom who deliberately injured people, was arrested and imprisoned, and when he went to court, he was sentenced not guilty by the judge.

Why?

Because the judge said that this young lady is the future pillar of my British Empire, a top student of a prestigious school.

She can't ruin her life because of a momentary mistake......

The same is true of the so-called people's pig rule of law society, a feudal society, high-ranking nobles, naturally enjoy privileges.

And it is a privilege that is recognized by law and respected by society.

Titles, even those handed down from their fathers and ancestors, can be used as evidence of atonement.

As long as he did not step on the red line, under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven would agree to the request of the military nobles above the public seat and the officials above the thousand stone level.

I listened to Zhang Yue continue: "In addition, Your Majesty, now, when the country is employing people, Wei Yan is the son of the Marquis of Changping, and he should not die in Chang'an Prison!" ”

"After the Han Dynasty Changping Hou, even if he wants to die, he will be shrouded in horse leather and respected by the world!"

"The four counties of Loulan, Jianwei County, Jiaozhi Rinan, and Korea are all in urgent need of the general's son-in-law to sit in town, suppress Yidi, and deter the subordinates!"

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven finally showed his face, his thoughts became clear, and he said to Zhang Yue: "What Qing said is very agreeable!" ”

If the son of the great general Changping Liehou dies at the hands of the jailer, he will be trapped in the city of Chang'an.

For him, too, losses and blows.

Equivalent to negative equity.

However, if he is allowed to use his title and gold to atone for his crimes, he will first be able to protect his capital, and then he will be allowed to make meritorious contributions and go to the border country.

If it works well, this negative equity may become a positive asset.

"It's best, this Wei couple died in the land of Yidi......" the Son of Heaven thought maliciously.

With this thought, he became excited.

Because, if Wei Yan died at the hands of Yidi, it would definitely anger the entire Han family.

The Han family can also have an excuse to launch an unprecedented war with the momentum of mourning soldiers!

At that time, in order to avenge the general's son-in-law, the morale of the Han family generals will be high, and the heroes of the world's counties will also boil.

Even the Huns did not dare to face such a Han army.

In this way, perhaps, the Han family will be able to open a breakthrough in the Western Regions, and even ...... Make progress!

Just thinking about it like this, the Son of Heaven knows.

The most suitable place for Wei Yan to go must be Loulan Kingdom!

It just so happens that King Loulan still lacks a prison king's concubine!

It is most appropriate to take Wei to sit in the town.

What's even better is that no matter what Wei Yan does in Loulan, the final result will not be bad there.

At the very least, it is much better than keeping him in Chang'an, harming the people, harassing the people, and causing trouble at two ends in three days.

What a brilliant idea!

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Yue, and said in his heart: "In the future, if there are any noble relatives and children, they can all handle it like this......"

Whoever is disobedient will be thrown away.

Left to their own devices.

In this way, there may be a few talents who can be used.

Even if you can't, you won't make trouble in Chang'an and ruin the country's image!
