Volume 19 Han Ji 11 (8)

The Han army crossed the Yellow River, from the west of Shuofang, as for the Lingju, repaired the water conservancy project, set up Tuntian officials, sent 50,000 or 60,000 officials, and gradually encroached on the land of the Xiongnu desert, but because of the scarcity of military horses, it was no longer a large number of troops and horses to attack the Xiongnu. And the Xiongnu used Zhao Xinji to send envoys to the Han to ask for peace. The Son of Heaven consulted the ministers on this matter, and the ministers discussed a lot, some advocated peace, and some advocated that the Xiongnu must be submitted. Prime Minister Shi Renchang said, "The Xiongnu have recently broken through the predicament, and he should be made a foreign minister, and he should be invited to the side every year." ”

The Han court envoy Ren Chang sent an envoy to Shan Yu, and Shan Yu was furious and detained Ren Chang and did not let him return to China. At that time, there was a doctor Di Shan who thought it was convenient to be close to him, and the emperor asked Zhang Tang, and Zhang Tang said, "This is a pedantic delusion." Di Shan said: "Weichen is stupid, but he is stupid. is like the imperial historian Zhang Tang, but he is loyal. ”

The emperor then became angry and said, "I have made my husband live in a county, can my husband prevent robbers from entering the county to cause trouble?" ”

Dishan said, "No. ”

The emperor said, "What about in a county? ”

Di Shan still replied no. The emperor said, "What about behind a screen?" ”

Di Shan knew that he could no longer argue, and he would inevitably be imprisoned no matter what, so he said, "Yes." ”

The emperor made Di Shan dwell behind a screen, guarding the border place, after more than a month, the Huns scattered and beheaded the head of Di Mountain. Since then, the ministers have lost their anger, and no one dares to disobey Zhang Tang.

This year, Ji Di sat down and was dismissed from office. To Dingxiang too righteous vertical for the right internal history. Hanoi Taishou Wang Van Thu was a lieutenant. First, Ning became the captain of the Guandu, and the officials who entered and exited the pass all said: "I would rather meet a tiger than meet Ning Cheng to be angry." "And righteousness is too guarded by Nanyang, to the pass, Ning Cheng bowed his head to greet him, and did not dare to look up. Yizong went to the county, tested the Ning family, and then broke his family. The people of Nanyang Li are all trembling and fighting. He also opened the prison and killed more than 400 prisoners in one day, and the people of the county shuddered. At that time, although Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang were known for being strict, they were still able to act in accordance with the law. But righteousness is governed by torture and harshness,

When Wang Wenshu was the governor of Guangping, he chose the cunning and fierce gangsters in the county as his minions, so that they could supervise the arrest of thieves. If they can follow their wishes, they will not ask about all kinds of sins, and if they follow their will, they will find a reason to destroy their clans, because of this, the suburbs of Qi and Zhao, thieves dare not approach Guangping, so Guangping has a good reputation that is not forgotten. As a result, Wang Wenshu had to be promoted to Hanoi Taishou.

There was a man named Shaoweng in the Qi State who met the emperor with a ghost and god magic. At this time, the emperor had a favorite beauty Mrs. Wang died, and the young man summoned the ghost in the night with the prescription of the ghost and the god, and looked the same as Mrs. Wang, and the Son of Heaven saw it in the palace curtain, so he worshiped the young man as General Wencheng, and rewarded him a lot. Treat him as a guest. Wen Cheng also persuaded the emperor to make Ganquan Palace, with a stage room in the middle, painting the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and placing sacrifices, hoping to attract ghosts and gods. After more than a year, his magic became more and more inaccurate. The gods cannot come. So he forged a silk book and gave it to the ox to eat, and then he pretended not to know and said to the man, "There is something strange in the belly of this ox." "After killing the cow, I got a silk book, and the words in the book were strange, and the Son of Heaven recognized it as a handwritten book from a young man. made people test, and if it was a fake book, he killed General Wencheng, but he concealed the matter and did not spread it to the public. I think the Son of Heaven thought it was too embarrassing.
