Chapter 7 Uncle Zhang is willing to be a pawn

Who is Jia Yi?

In the 50 years of the Western Han Dynasty, the most outstanding political commentators and literary scholars, young and famous, talented, "On the Passage of Qin", "On the Accumulation of Sparse", "Chen Zhengshi Shu" and other articles have been famous for a while, so that the world people rush to worship, the world believes that he will be a rising political star.

Jia Yi's earlier experience is indeed proof of this, he first guarded Wu Gong in Henan County, assisted Wu Gong to govern Henan County, achieved outstanding results, social stability, and was rated first in the world.

Emperor Wen ascended the throne, heard that Henan County was well governed, and promoted Henan County to be the court captain, and Duke Wu recommended Jia Yi because of the situation.

Emperor Wen recruited Jia Yi and entrusted him with the post of doctor, Jia Yi was 21 years old at the time, the youngest of the doctors hired.

During his tenure as a doctor, whenever the emperor asked questions for discussion, Jia Yi always had incisive insights and answers, and won the unanimous praise of his peers.

People who are too complacent will always suffer some frustration or frustration, because no one will kick the dead dog on the side of the road.

In view of Jia Yi's outstanding talent and excellent performance, Emperor Wen wanted to promote Jia Yi to the post of minister.

Jianghou Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Dongyang Hou, Feng Jing and others were all jealous of Jia Yi, and slandered Jia Yi as "a young beginner, a man who wants to abuse power, and messes up everything".

Emperor Wen also gradually alienated Jia Yi, no longer adopted his opinions, and became the prince of Changsha, so later generations also called Jia Changsha and Jia Taifu.

Three years later, he was recalled to Chang'an as the prince of Liang Huai.

King Liang Huai fell from his horse and died, Jia Yi felt sorry and died of depression at the age of 33, so he lived his short and somewhat brilliant life.

Isn't Jia Yi talented? Apparently there is. Lack of experience? There was no shortage either, yet he himself fell inexplicably.

These Zhang Ou are all known, and the strategy of cutting the feudal domain was first proposed by Jia Yi.

At that time, Emperor Wen felt that Jia Yi did not have the ability (the ability to balance all parties), nor did he have the conditions to cut the domain, and it was not the right time, so when Emperor Wen met Jia Yi, he asked some things about gods and ghosts, and did not talk about politics with him, so later there was a poem that said: "Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods."

How similar is the current Chao Cuo and Jia Yi? The same talent, the same trust by the Son of Heaven, and the same desire to cut the domain.

Tao Qing, the prime minister, has almost become an ornament, doesn't he have a little idea in his heart?

In fact, in all fairness, the princes' kingdoms are big, and it is not good for the central and central courts, and anyone can see these problems.

Although there will be labor pains in cutting the domain, it will have great benefits in the imperial court, including Dou Ying, Yuan An, Tao Qing and others who are on the same page.

But why don't they agree with Chao Wrong?

First of all, Chao Cuo's temper is too stinky, and when the Holy Favor is in his hands, his eyes grow to the top of his head, and he can't pee in the same pot with all the people.

Secondly, Chao Cuo is just a royal doctor, although he is ranked among the three princes, who is the head of the three princes?

It is the prime minister, it is Tao Qing, and the implementation of these policies should be issued from the prime minister's office, not the wrong imperial historian Yamen.

Once the reduction of the feudal domain is successful, Chao Cuo's merit is great, with the favor of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely go further, and it is obviously impossible to carry the rank of Tai Lieutenant, because Chao Cuo does not understand military affairs, not to mention that this position is a meritorious military general.

Thinking about it, he only has the position of prime minister, how did he Tao Qing deal with himself at that time?

As Wen Zhengming, a genius of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Man Jianghong: Wipe the Remnant Monument": "Don't you read it, and the territory will be closed; Don't you read it, Hui Qin is humiliated, and Hui Qin has returned, what does this body belong to? Zai Xiu talked about the mistake of crossing the south, and he was afraid of the recovery of the Central Plains at that time. Laughing districts, a juniper, how can it, meet its desires. ”

In the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, after killing Chao Cuo, Zhou Yafu waved his army south, and destroyed the country and destroyed the city while talking and laughing.

Therefore, how can the king of Wu be laughed at, just meet the desires of the princes and ministers!

In a word, Chao Mistake has crossed the line, and it can offend people too much.

Today, Zhang Ou heard another strange thing from it, that is, Tao Qing was ready to do it.

If Zhang Ou was also reborn from the later generations, he would definitely have an idiom to describe Tao Qing at this time.

That is "Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it"!

When the two were talking, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly came to report that the Imperial Doctor Chao's father had trespassed into the Prime Minister's Mansion and took away His Majesty's edict without permission.

Zhang Ou was instantly shocked and asked, "How is Zheng Bingcao?" ”

"Because of the timely discovery, Zheng Bingcao was rescued, but now the toxicity is still unsolved, I'm afraid..." Although the words of the person who came were not finished, they were already self-evident.

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Tao Qing frowned and asked.

"Arsenic."

Arsenic is highly poisonous, so Zheng Yin is dead, Tao Qing thought silently in his heart.

He was not grieving for Zheng Yin, but thinking about how to deal with Chao Mistake, he Tao Qing must not make Shen Tujia's mistake.

"Order the Prime Minister's Mansion Governor Shi to visit Zheng Bingcao's home, and at the same time order the imperial doctor to go for diagnosis and treatment, and be sure to ensure Zheng Bingcao's life." Tao Qing commanded.

"No." The man bowed and stepped back.

Zhang Ou said a little sadly: "Doctor Chao... How could he do such a thing? ”

Zhang Ou was worried about Zheng Yin's life, because he was a benevolent person.

According to historical records, Zhang Ou was an official and never punished others, but only acted as an official with sincerity and kindness.

The subordinates thought that he was an elder and did not dare to deceive him too much.

Report the case, and return everything that can be returned; If he could not return it, he wept for the sinner, and could not bear to read the paper, so he sealed it. He cares about people like that.

Although Tao Qing knew what he was, he pretended to sneer and said: "Hmph, it's not that His Majesty favors him, but this villain is also a villain, trespassing into the Prime Minister's Mansion and taking the edict privately, what does he want to do?" ”

"Even if it is a refutation edict, it is also the power of my Prime Minister's Mansion, not his Imperial Doctor."

"Doctor Chao doesn't know how to be respectful and humble, Chang'an is even more stormy, and there is a lot of banditry, Uncle Zhang looks at it, can this kind of atmosphere rise?"

Hearing the resoluteness in Tao Qingzhong's tone, Zhang Ou no longer objected, after all, he was a court lieutenant, and it was his duty to be in charge of punishment, so he said: "What is Tao Gongyi?" Uncle Zhang is willing to be a pawn. ”

"Jinan Taishou Zhi has been guarding one side for many years, the wealthy families in the county are frightened every day, Jinan County Road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed, quite a capable minister's style, it can be a big responsibility, what does Uncle Zhang think?" Tao Qing said lightly.

"Zhidu." Zhang Ou silently muttered the name.

To be honest, Zhang Ou doesn't like this person very much, although they are both legalists, but Zhang Ou is a Confucian, and Zhidu is a Legalist with strong roots, and he is very strict.
