Zhang Tang's death
The three helpers that Zhuang Qingzhai pulled were: Zhu Maichen, Wang Dynasty, and Bian Tong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAmong the three people, only Zhu Maichen is a familiar face. But the other two are negligible. Because among the three, Zhu Maichen is the main character, and the other two take the initiative to help.
Zhu Maichen once served as the lord and captain, the dynasty once served as the right internal history, and Bian Tong once served as the minister of Jinan. All of them are ministerial-level high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones. Now all three of them are following Zhuang Qingzhai. The positions are all the same: the history of the Prime Minister's Mansion...
I believe that the most powerful way to develop wisdom and strength is not money or faith, but two other things: hatred and fear. Why did Sanchang Shi hate Zhang Tang to the bone? This has been a long time coming. But not at all troublesome.
First of all, when the three long histories were very mixed, Zhang Tang was still a small official. The so-called mixed up means that they are all ministerial-level cadres, and Zhang Tang is still working hard at the bottom of the officialdom. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tang was promoted by Liu Che all the way because of his superb legal business, and he actually stood in the high position of the imperial doctor.
I think: being an official is like queuing up for dinner, everything must be on a first-come, first-served basis. So in officialdom, seniority is obvious. And Zhang Tang was promoted all the way, and even if Zhu Maichen and other seniors did not suffer from pink eye, at least they were uncomfortable. But this is not the root cause of the enmity between the two factions. Because in the Western Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for poor people to become officials and become popular all over the world overnight.
Liu Bang's Han Dynasty was originally fought by poor brothers. Therefore, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, officialdom has always been open to the poor. And when Liu Che became the emperor, he was even more eclectic and reduced talents. Whoever is talented will worship whoever is an official. Fighting the world with real talent and learning is the right way. It is precisely because of this that Liu Che scolded Ji Di for being stupid and not deserving of political pink eye.
But the rules of officialdom are cruel. When you climb up, you trample someone else under your feet. Zhang Tang has always only believed in strength, and lacked the humanistic care of officialdom. The sequelae of this behavior are far beyond Zhang Tang's imagination!
It is also normal to climb high and occasionally look down on squatting at the bottom. The problem is that those who climb high are not only high and proud. What's even more terrible is that he deliberately threw stones from high places to low places, urinated and insulted... This is really too unusual!
The history books did not explain how Zhang Tang deliberately humiliated Zhu Maichen and others, but one record is very clear: at work, Zhang Tang regarded Zhu Maichen and others as small officials, and he always called hard, and he never looked at them squarely... In fact, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is: Zhang Tang did it on purpose!
I think that at the beginning, I, Zhu Maichen, was so poor that my wife left me, and I almost starved to death. After several hardships, I finally came out, and what I hoped for was that I was longed for others to treat me as a human being. I didn't expect you Zhang Tang to insult me so much!
In addition, what stimulated Zhu Maichen even more was that Zhang Tang did something that he shouldn't have done. That is: Zhang Tang killed Zhu Maichen's fellow countryman and great benefactor: Zhuang Zhu, who was beheaded in the rebellion of Liu An, the king of Huainan!
At the beginning, Zhu Maichen came to the capital from Wu to look for a job. Seeing that the food he brought was about to be eaten, the work had not yet been settled. Just as he was looking unaccompanied, Shosuke appeared. Zhuang Zhu recommended Zhu Maichen to Liu Che. After the interview, Zhu Maichen was worshiped as a doctor.
Later, Dongyue repeatedly had to get along with the Han Dynasty, and Zhuang Zhu recommended Zhu Maichen to Liu Che. Liu Che worshiped Zhu Maichen as the county guard of Huiji and asked him to deal with the king of Dongyue.
Where is Zhu Maichen from? Wu people, and they are still poor Wu people. Liu Che knows about these. So he also deliberately said to Zhu Maichen, "Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night"
This is not Liu Che's original. The original creator is, of course, Xiang Yu, the tragic hero of the ages. Therefore, returning to the hometown with wealth has always been a favorite trick of readers, especially poor readers. And at that moment, Liu Che fulfilled Zhu Maichen.
But Zhu Maichen is not the kind of frivolous person who is afraid that the world will not know about it once he wins the jackpot. He received the official seal, put on his old clothes, and walked back to the county mansion with a calm pace. At that time, the staff of the county residence didn't pay much attention to him. When Zhu Maichen deliberately exposed the seal of the county guard, the staff couldn't see it. So one exclaimed, and became ten and a hundred exclaimed. Soon, the official car arrived to greet Zhu Maichen, and after the news came out, the entire Huiji County exclaimed...
To be honest, Zhu Maichen played a majestic show. Although he did not mean it, the leaders and the masses of Huiji County who welcomed him to his post greatly increased his ambition. also responded to the sentence he said to his wife at the beginning, "I am fifty years old and rich", and there is a sentence after this sentence, "You have suffered for a long time, and I will repay you for your merits when I am rich", which translates to this: You have suffered with me for a long time, and I will repay you when I am developed. target
At the time, his wife thought it was nonsense. Because it is a lie, I don't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, but he also divorced and remarried, and married a man with food. The man was good, once the couple saw Zhu Maichen starving to death, and gave him food. This meal saved Zhu Maichen at that time. So Zhu Maichen returned to his hometown this time, and specially found his ex-wife and the husband she remarried, and then returned the meal he owed his ex-wife back then. As a result, after the ex-wife finished eating, she felt humiliated, found a rope, and as soon as her head was hung, the person was gone. After his death, the coffin was also bought by Zhu Maichen...
After the show, Zhu Maichen did not forget his work. He lived up to Liu Che's expectations and took over the Dongyue Kingdom. Because of this meritorious service, he returned to Chang'an and was worshiped as the lord and lieutenant. A few years later, he broke the law for some reason and was dismissed. Now it is used by Zhuang Qingzhai and worshiped as the prime minister.
This is the basic deeds of Zhu Maichen. No matter how things change in the world, in Zhu Maichen's heart, the grace of Zhuang Zhu will never be forgotten! In a word: Without Zhuang Zhu, there would be no me Zhu Maichen!
But Zhuang Zhu died under Zhang Tang's knife. The reason is almost ruthless, just because Zhuang Zhu is a personal friend of Liu An, the king of Huainan. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che wanted to let Zhuang help a horse, but Zhang Tang insisted on chopping happiness.
You say: If I don't chop Zhang Tang for your dog's day, then I am not only ashamed of my benefactor, but also ashamed of myself as a human being!
So between Zhu Maichen and Zhang Tang, either you die or I die! What's more, now that Zhang Tang even wants to fix Prime Minister Zhuang, it is difficult to say that it will be the turn of the three prime ministers to have a long history. It's better to strike preemptively, and the county will beat him!
Seven inches to fight a snake. This is the most basic principle observed by almost all political struggles. However, Zhu Maichen, who decided to fight, found that Zhang Tang had a weakness, but it was really difficult to find out the Achilles' heel of this person for a while...
First of all, Zhang Tang is not greedy for money; Secondly, he is not lustful; Again, he is not a party. Finally, this person also has a terrible backer - Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! In this way, if you want to get rid of Zhang Tang, unless the gods and ghosts help you?
But there are exceptions. Immediately, Zhu Maichen thought of a trick. It is said to be a trick, but in fact it is a conspiracy. All conspiracies are unseemly. There is no way, the open fight can't be done, and the dark must be made.
Zhu Maichen's tricks are roughly as follows: First, he captured a businessman named Tian Xin as a breakthrough in the attack. Tian Xin repeatedly exploited the political and financial loopholes of the central government and made a fortune. So Zhu Maichen concluded that someone in the central government had sent him a tip-off, and the object of suspicion was Zhang Tang.
After interrogating Tian Xin, Zhu Maichen told Liu Che about Zhang Tang: Zhang Tang and Shangjia were in cahoots, reported the news, and took kickbacks!
We know that Zhang Tang was so hated by businessmen all over the world that he gritted his teeth because of the salt and iron monopoly incident, but Zhu Maichen said that he colluded with businessmen to take kickbacks, which is really a bit unbelievable.
But Zhu Maichen is a member of the Inner Dynasty, no matter whether he sues black or white, Liu Che has to worry more. So he immediately summoned Zhang Tang and asked, "What do I want to do, the businessmen outside can always know in advance, and then hoard Juqi and make a lot of ill-gotten gains." Did someone leak my words?"
Zhang Tang's expression at that time, the history book used a word to describe "feigned surprise", which means to pretend to be surprised. Zhang Tang feigned surprise and replied, "Yes! Your Majesty's words, it is possible that they have been leaked"
If Zhu Maichen sued a black case, Zhang Tang should not be afraid of Liu Che's questioning. But his expression is strange here, and the problem is big. This problem is: Zhang Tang and Shangjia colluded to eat kickbacks, then he should be rich and oily. But after his death, Liu Che confiscated his property, and the whole family was not worth 500 gold. Therefore, Zhu Maichen's black state is not established.
Then Zhu Maichen dared to fool the emperor, could it be that he was looking for death?
Wait! When I saw Zhang Tang's instantaneous expression, I finally understood: Zhu Maichen wanted to sue Zhang Tang for being black, not to be stupid, nor to be lucky, and even to be sure to get Zhang Tang. Because of the contact, it can be found that it is possible for Zhang Tang to collude with Shang Jia, and it may be made up to say that he took kickbacks. For Zhu Maichen, making up nonsense is not important. The important thing is: Zhang Tang did something bad by himself!
Death is looming in Zhang Tang! More fierce ones are yet to come. After Zhu Maichen finished suing the black case, another person immediately ran out to take over and continue his soup business. This person is the Xuan Xuan who has been lurking until now.
The stick of Xuan Xuan was more fierce than Zhu Maichen's. There is no shortage of human and physical evidence. The death of Li Wen in the imperial history is the genius masterpiece of Zhang Tang and Lu Yuju!
I think it's very inappropriate to describe Liu Che's mood at this time with anger. Liu Che has a great family and great wisdom in this life. Anyone who is smart has many things that are not pleasing to the eye. But there are two kinds of people, it is estimated that he is particularly unhappy to watch.
One is a fool who doesn't know anything, and the other is a cow who thinks he is the smartest in the world. It's a pity that Zhang Tang belongs to the latter.
once Ji Di said that Zhang Tang was unreliable, but Liu Che didn't believe it; Dr. Di Shan said that Zhang Tang was loyal, but Liu Che didn't believe it; Zhu Maichen said that Zhang Tang ate kickbacks, but Liu Che still didn't believe it. But when he saw the incriminating evidence presented by Minxuan, he believed it. Zhang Tang, who is deceitful and deceitful, thinks he is the smartest and coolest in the world, I'm afraid he will be smashed this time.
Liu Che, who was extremely angry, immediately ordered Zhang Tang to be dealt with. The person who ran Zhang Tang for the emperor was a good colleague of Zhang Tang, and he was also a celebrity who was included in the list of the top ten cool officials of the Han Dynasty by Sima Qian and Ban Gu: Zhao Yu!
Use the cool officials to rectify the cool officials. Facing Zhao Yu, Zhang Tang couldn't explain anything. Crying is useless, arguing is pure fart. He knew that his life was over. In November of the 2nd year of Yuan Ding (BC116), Zhang Tang finally found a way for himself: suicide!
Before committing suicide, Zhang Tang left a suicide note to ask Liu Che for his guilt. There is such a sentence in the suicide note, "Those who trap the courtiers, the three long histories are also" framed me, that is, the three long histories of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Zhu Maichen, Dynasty, and Bian Tong!
If you die, you have to pull a cushion back, and there are three of them at a time!
After Zhang Tang's death, his brothers and nephews prepared to pool money to bury him. But this brainless move was stopped by a person: Zhang Tang's mother said, "Didn't the Son of Heaven say that Zhang Tang took a kickback?" Then let the world take a good look: how many kickbacks did my son take" So, the thick burial was changed to a thin burial. could have held people in two coffins, but Zhang's mother buried Zhang Tang with only one coffin.
Soon, the news of Zhang's mother's burial of Zhang Tang reached Liu Che's ears. Liu Che sighed, "If it is not this mother, you can't give birth to this child" and suspected that Zhang Tang had been mistreated, so he sent someone to re-examine it. As a result, a big secret was discovered.
First of all, it is not a fact at all that Liu Che turned out Zhang Tang to eat kickbacks. Because all of Zhang Tang's property did not add up to five hundred gold. That being the case, the three long histories are black. Then I found out: Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and Sanchangshi are in a group. So, even the prime minister did not let go, and he was arrested and interrogated. Zhuang Qingzhai saw that he could not cover himself and committed suicide in prison on December 25. Soon, Zhu Maichen and other three long histories were beheaded.
The death of the cool official Zhang Tang is thus closed. Four to one, Zhang Tang earned three... But everyone is dead, and no amount of money earned for nothing is useless to Zhang Tang. In my opinion, in this struggle, no one who dies is considered a winner, only the living are counted. It's like Ji Di was rectified by Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang, but he boiled these two people to death, and he lived longer than them. So, Ji Di still won...
But in the end, there are no winners in this fight, all losers! They are not unprecedented, nor are they unprecedented. They are only playing the plays that have been performed by their predecessors, and the later ones will continue to play their plays...
