Chapter 256: Retreat as Advance
Zhang Tang feels very good in the position of the third duke, at least in the field of criminal law, he no longer has to worry about anyone's thoughts except for Liu Che's thoughts, everything is his decision, this feeling is really refreshing.
And the ministers of the court are not to mention, they used to talk about the change of color of the soup, but now their legs and feet are soft.
Ten days later,
Zhang Tang came out of the Tingwei Mansion, this time the trip was very grand, he sat in the Sangong carriage for the first time, it was indeed bigger and more comfortable than the previous Jiuqing carriage, and he actually fell asleep after doing it.
"If you don't disperse yet, Lord Yushi's carriage will dare to stop it."
Zhang Tang slept soundly, but he heard Xu Fei's scolding outside, so he lazily opened the curtain, only to see several soldiers pushing a grain and grass cart in the middle of the road, and they were moving.
The sergeant ignored Xu Fei's scolding at all, but continued to make food and grass on his own.
This simply does not give the face of the three ministers, it stands to reason that when the three ministers cross the street, the people have to kneel to greet them, so Xu Fei waved the horsewhip in his hand and hit a soldier heavily, and the soldier dodged in fear.
"Come on, arrest them." Xu Fei instructed the officials to arrest people.
Zhang Tang suddenly felt inappropriate, and opened the curtain again: "Forget it, let them pass first." ”
"My lord, these people are too uninteresting, they must be arrested and let Chang'an Ling punish them." Xu Fei walked quickly towards the carriage.
Zhang Tang's eyes became more and more wrong, because he saw Wei Qing and Ruoyao, who were riding tall horses behind Xu Fei, walking towards this side, with Wu Lin and a group of generals behind them.
"Your Excellency."
"Smack!" Zhang Tang slapped Xu Fei's face viciously and said, "Do you know how much trouble you caused to this official? After speaking, his eyes stared at Wei Qing who came over.
Xu Fei saw something in Zhang Tang's eyes, and slowly turned his head to look, shocked in his heart.
At this time, Wei Qing was very calm, he looked at the beaten soldier standing on the road stupidly, his fists were hot.
Ruoyao was not convinced, and rode forward and said loudly to Zhang Tang's team: "The general is here, and he won't get off the sedan chair to greet him." ”
The general is above the three dukes, and everyone below the secretary worships, so according to the rules, Zhang Tang, the minister of the three dukes, must get out of the car to greet him.
Unconvinced, really unconvinced, Zhang Tang looked at Xu Fei who was already sweating viciously again, and then pulled down his son and stepped out of the carriage, and came to Wei Qing's tall horse squarely, looking up at Wei Qing who was high above.
"Zhang Tang, as an imperial historian, this is how you educate your subordinates?" Wei Qing asked in a military uniform with a horsewhip in his hand.
Zhang Tang was very embarrassed, he was also the minister of the Third Duke, but today he was so unable to get off the stage.
And all the people watched, and they talked among themselves, and their eyes seemed to say, "Look how he is making a fool of himself."
Ruoyao saw that Zhang Tang didn't speak, so she said loudly: "Zhang Tang." ”
Zhang Tang reacted, and suddenly stepped forward with a hippie smile on his face and said: "Hehe, the lower officials have seen the general, what happened just now is indeed that the lower officials have no way to educate, and they must be strictly held accountable after coming down." ”
"Apologize immediately to the soldier." Ruoyao angrily jumped off the horse and walked in front of Zhang Tang.
Zhang Tang couldn't get off the stage, he was the minister of the Three Dukes, the Imperial Doctor, and one of the three bigwigs of the imperial court, so he said to Ruoyao softly in embarrassment: "Girl, this official must be strict when he comes down, you see ......." ”
"Nothing you see, apologies." Ruoyao pointed at the soldier who was already trembling with fright.
Zhang Tang's face was really unbearable, he looked up at Wei Qing on the tall horse again, but Wei Qing's face was even more ugly, and finally bowed his hand to the soldier in the face of pressure: "This officer can't stand it today." ”
Although Zhang Tang's apology was not sincere at all, it looked really comfortable.
The soldier was still scared, and returned the salute embarrassedly: "It's serious, it's serious." ”
The matter ended like this, Wei Qing didn't pay attention to Zhang Tang, and rode a war horse and led everyone to walk past Zhang Tang's three carriages, without the slightest intention of looking at it.
Wei Qing disappeared on the road with people, and the people also left one after another, Zhang Tang lost face today.
"Great, sir." Xu Fei stepped forward slightly.
Zhang Tang kicked him to the ground angrily and said viciously: "See what you are doing? What a bastard. ”
Zhang Tang was really furious about the loss of face in the bazaar today, which was the biggest humiliation he had suffered in recent years, and he made a fool of himself in public, and he was angry when he came back.
Xu Fei on the side has no choice, there is really no way, Wei Qing's status is like this now, even Prime Minister Li Cai has to salute when he sees it, not to mention the characters under Jiuqing, then he has to stand in a row.
Zhang Tang was a little panicked, he was really afraid that Wei Qing would do it to him that day.
"My lord, look, what do you think we should do now?" Xu Fei's mind went blank.
After Zhang Tang was angry, he suddenly smiled: "What should I do?" Aren't Zhang Ou and Fan's people powerful? It's not a good place to vacate yet. After speaking, he glared at Xu Fei and said, "You must know that the high place is not cold." ”
"It's cold in the heights?" Xu Fei repeated.
Zhang Tang suddenly walked to the table happily, picked up the teacup and said: "Wei Qing, he is a person who grew up as a slave, and he has no family confidence, in fact, we really don't need to be afraid of him, he just has a personal status." ”
Indeed, Wei Qing has only gone up in personal status, compared with Li Cai, Li Guang and other people who have formed generations of clan forces, Wei Qing is still much worse, at least he is still very conservative in thought.
Xu Fei didn't understand: "What do you mean? ”
"Hahaha." Zhang Tang suddenly laughed and got up and looked at Liu Xijun, who was sitting facing the moon outside the pavilion, and said, "The merit is high and the lord is shocked, I don't believe that Your Majesty is really the same as always for Wei Qing." ”
Zhang Tang learned from the practice of destroying Zhang Ou at that time, and asked Xu Fei to find someone to spread the general's military exploits in Chang'an City, what Han Dynasty is difficult to estimate without Wei Qing, Wei Qing is really the god of war and so on.
Anyway, in a word, Wei Qing must be raised, only in this way will Wei Qing sit like a needle.
Xu Fei is a good hand in this regard, and he single-handedly concocted and planned the remarks of framing the imperial historian Zhang Ou with the false report of military merit and false claims, and framing the imperial historian Zhang Ou.
This time, he followed Zhang Tang's instructions and did not spread any remarks about Wei Qing's meritorious masters in Chang'an, but started from the border counties, starting from the front line of the Hun and Han wars, and then slowly spread back to Chang'an, which further reflected the authenticity of the matter.
Zhang Tang's plan really worked, because the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang really admired Wei Qing, and Wei Qing was indeed famous in Northern Xinjiang, so Xu Fei hadn't operated much, and this wind of lifting Wei blew on its own.
Wei Zhanshen, Wei Qing is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing made the Han people stand up, and other remarks fell like snowflakes.
And Zhang Tang also used the power in his hands to make the border county assassin history department report the situation one after another, so as to sit on the real Weiqing from the bottom up.
