Hearing Yuan An's words, Zhang Shizhi was silent for a long time, and then continued: "What Yuan Gong said is very true, Shizhi thinks so!" ”

"But Zhang Gongcang has certainly died well and is recuperating, but what about the general Bo Zhao?"

"When the first emperor entered Chang'an, Bo Zhao had the love of the dragon and his nephew, and then he was strong enough to protect Zhou Bo's work, and the empress dowager Bo was still reincarnated, but he still inevitably died at the hands of the first emperor, what is the explanation for this matter?"

"Hahaha! Why? The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace! ”

Bo Zhaonai is the only younger brother of Emperor Wen's mother, Empress Dowager Bo, that is, Emperor Wen's maternal uncle, who served as a general and was named Marquis.

In that year, Emperor Wen Liu Heng implemented a new policy and appointed a young and promising minister Zhong Yu to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to act as governor of heaven and quell the rebellion.

Taiyuan was Bo Zhao's fiefdom, and his nephew Bo Gui relied on his power to do evil and oppress the people.

How Zhong Yu dealt with Bo Gui on this trip, Bo Zhao was very worried.

On the day of Zhong Yu's return to the court, all the courtiers were ordered by Emperor Wen to greet the official pavilion.

Bo Zhao also came to "catch the wind" for Zhong Yu, and some ministers flatteringly said that Bo Zhao came to pick up the wind for a new official with the honorable status of a chariot general (Zhou Yafu's position at this time, the first person in the military, Emperor Wen was originally a prince and sat on the world, and if he appointed others, Emperor Wen was not at ease), he came to pick up the wind for a new official, which was really a move of respect for talents.

Bo Zhao personally toasted Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu was about to hand over the recital to him.

Bo Zhao thinks that he is the first person in the military (similar to today's military committee, deputy chairman, chairman) is a small messenger for you, can you still not know what to do?

But this Zhong Yu really didn't know, he wrote on the recital: "Taiyuan is not a rebellion among the people, it is all because of the evil done by Bo Fu. Release the innocent, punish the evil and promote the good, punish the noble, and relieve the people from hanging. ”

Bo Zhao was furious when he saw this, and ordered the captain to tie up Zhong Yu and take him back to the mansion for disposal.

Zhong Yu calmly explained to him what he had seen and heard in Taiyuan, saying that the magistrates there relied on the power of the imperial family to annex land, and falsely proclaimed the holy decree to increase taxes and forced labor.

Bo Gui is even more robbing men and women, preying on the common people, indiscriminately punishing non-punishments, and doing misdeeds, for the sake of the Han family, it is necessary to punish evil and reassure the people.

Where could Bo Zhao listen, he angrily scolded Zhong Yu for admonishing the emperor indiscriminately, deceiving the emperor, and daring to bully the imperial family.

Zhong Yu refuted reasonably, Bo Zhao was annoyed and ashamed, and Zhong Yu was made to wear linen and filial piety for his nephew Bo Gui, but Zhong did not obey; He also asked Zhong Shangshu to confess his guilt, take back the Chen, retire the fertile land, return the conscription, and threaten him with the treasure sword of Qinfeng.

Zhong Yu warned him that if "the new policy is stopped with the power of the sword, the general's achievements will be ruined, and our Han dynasty will also be in danger of being lost."

The two had a heated argument, and Bo Zhaoli was exhausted, and finally stabbed Zhong Yu to death with a knife.

Emperor Wen was waiting to greet Zhong Yu in the Golden Palace, and suddenly someone reported that Zhong was tied up by Bo Mansion.

Emperor Wen was in a hurry to send the kingdom Zhang Cang to pass on the holy decree, and ordered Bo Zhao to take Zhong Yu to the palace together.

When Zhang Cangzheng was about to leave the palace, he saw Mrs. Zhong crying out in front of the palace.

As soon as Emperor Wen heard that Zhong Yu was killed, he immediately wrote a letter to behead Bo Zhao, but the ministers dissuaded him, while Zhang Cang and Zhou Xing, the general, believed that if Bo Zhao was not disposed of, he would inevitably lose his trust in the people.

Emperor Wen was in a dilemma, he had to persuade Mrs. Zhong not to be sad, and gave Zhong Yu a lot of money to bury him, promising that after the funeral was over, he would definitely deal with Bo Zhao.

Emperor Wen sent Zhang Cang and Zhou Xing to Bo Mansion to hold a banquet to persuade Bo Zhao to make self-determination, but Bo Zhao not only refused, but also scolded Emperor Wen and attacked the new policy.

His housekeeper reported the matter to the Empress Dowager Bo, who came to the Bo Mansion to announce the pardon of Bo Zhao, and she would bear all the responsibility.

Immediately afterwards, she came to Zhaoyang Palace to reprimand Emperor Wen, and counted Bo Zhao's hard work to quell the Lu family's usurpation conspiracy and support the Han family.

At this time, the ministers of Bao Bozhao jointly wrote a letter asking for pardon; However, General Zhou Xing took the crown and risked his death to ask for Bo Zhao to be disposed of, and Mrs. Zhong learned that the Empress Dowager Bo had pardoned Bo Zhao, and in desperation wrote a suicide note to commit suicide.

Zhang Cang was dressed in filial piety clothes, hugged the orphan of the Zhong family, and entered the palace to face the king, Emperor Wen was heartbroken when he saw Mrs. Zhong's suicide note, and was determined to behead Bo Zhao. He first took back Bo Zhao's treasure knife, and then set up a mourning hall in the palace, announced Bo Zhao's entry into the palace, and put on a "living sacrifice" for him.

In front of Bo Zhao, Emperor Wen not only told his merits, but also solemnly pointed out that he had violated the criminal law and must admit his guilt, and then beheaded Bo Zhao.

This is the most famous "Emperor Wen beheaded his uncle" in the Western Han Dynasty.

Yuan Ang was stunned when he heard Zhang Shizhi's words and then smiled forcefully: "What Shizhi said is very true. ”

Zhang Shizhi seemed to be stuck in memory and said: "Back then, the emperor was benevolent, so he was able to endure the old man's arrogance and rudeness, and appointed the old man as the court captain, but now he is pure filial piety, and the old man has no life!" ”

The first emperor was benevolent, because there were not many emperors with the nickname "Wen", but although "pure filial piety today" is a compliment, but now it comes out of Zhang Shizhi's mouth, which means that Emperor Jing's pure filial piety is for the Empress Dowager Dou, as for what others should do.

Facts have also proved the correctness of Zhang Shizhi's words. What else can Yuan Ang say? I could only be silent.

Zhang Shizhi continued: "Yuan Gong, people are about to die, and their words are also good! The birds will sing, and their voices will be sad! ”

"So Yuan Gong, you listen to my advice, don't be embarrassed by Your Majesty in everything, Your Majesty likes to make mistakes, and is willing to use his strategy, you can just obey, if you can't obey, just hang the seal and seal the gold as now, and don't repeat the mistake of Shi because of the momentary mood!"

"Today, Yuan Gong came to my house, nothing more than to be a lobbyist for Prime Minister Tao, I can see it, although Prime Minister Tao is in power and in a prominent position, but he has not made up for the shortcomings in serving as prime minister for many years, let alone the achievements of promoting the good and eliminating the disadvantages, just silently, keeping the way, and sticking to the rules is nothing more than that."

"If it is an opportunity for power to change when the country is in turmoil, this is still the work of great wisdom."

But what is the scene at this time? The princes in the domain sit big, and there are Huns outside, and if you don't like to hear a word, this autumn of critical survival is also! ”

"And Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead, Prime Minister Tao only knows how to blindly reconcile yin and yang, and hold on to the defects, how can he have a good end?"

"If Yuan Gong wants to show what he has learned in his life, he must set up another portal, Tao Cheng is not the best choice, in my opinion, he is not far away!"

"Chao Buzhi wrote in the popular "Treatise on the Six Kingdoms" in Chang'an, 'The six kingdoms of Fu and Qin are all princes, and their strength is weaker than Qin, but they still have the potential to win without bribery. The story of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms is the story of the destruction of the Six Kingdoms with the greatness of the world. I thought it was a good word. ”

"Although I, like Yuan Gong, I am not used to acting arrogantly and arrogantly, but today's great man does not lie in whether he does well or badly, but whether he can or whether he dares to do anything, not in change but in whether he dares to change, if they are all like Tao Chengxiang, we can lead the neck to kill ourselves!"
