Of course, if he is framed, although Sima Xiangru can't argue, he can at least wave his pen to defend him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But strangely: he chose silence. So, Sima Xiangru didn't get the benefits, but was removed from office by Liu Che and sent him home...

Why did Sima Xiangru choose to remain silent? I thought: he knew he was at a loss. There really isn't much good about going through Nanyi. Can the title of the boss of the world be worth the loss of so many people's wealth?

So, make a mistake and leave the officialdom for a while! There is nothing remarkable about losing office. One day, I will come back to Chang'an!

While Liu Che opened mountains and built roads in the southwest, he also requisitioned more than 10,000 soldiers to rebuild Yanmen Pass.

Sima Xiang didn't stay at home for long, and someone from the palace came to his door. This is the chamberlain of Changmen Palace, he brought a hundred catties of gold to give to Sima Xiangru, only asking Sima Xiangru to write an article and give it to him to bring back. After Sima Xiangru asked about the specific situation, he immediately wrote a "Changmen Fu". For future generations, he left the legend of "a thousand gold buys".

This matter has to start from the beginning: in July, a sensational event occurred in the Chang'an Palace. This is the first witch case of the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The mastermind of the case: Queen Chen Ajiao; Target: The group of beauties beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

There is no such thing as hate in the world for no reason. Since Liu Che and Wei Zifu had an affair, there have been more and more beauties around Liu Che. Could it be that I, Ajiao Chen, can only watch this group of sluts get favored day by day and devour my queen position day by day?

Of course, we can't stop there! So what to do? At the instigation of a witch named Chufu, Chen Ajiao decided to use a trick: curse to death!

The so-called curse death is the use of witchcraft to curse the person concerned with feudal superstition. This method of incantation has a long history. Chen Ajiao is not the first user, and she will not be the last. The so-called spells, have you ever really cursed people to death? I don't think many people know. But the strange thing is that more and more people are using it, and the tricks are getting stranger and stranger. The basic tricks and procedures of the witch spell are roughly as follows: first, Chu Fu buries the puppet in the ground; Secondly, Chu Fu asked Chen Ajiao to recruit a group of female disciples, learn to draw talismans and recite spells with her, and curse the beauties who Chen Ajiao wanted to curse to death; In the end, the cursed person will be in trouble, crazy or stupid or dead, it all depends on the mood of the cursed person...

This set of witchcraft has a characteristic: it is simple to operate, and it is difficult to explain. Even if the curse is not successful, it at least psychologically satisfies the curser's anger, so the latecomer is always used repeatedly. It also has another characteristic, it is easy to vent anger, but it is also easy to leak secrets. Burying puppets alone is not an easy task. Once you are dug up, and the human and material evidence is there, then you are dead!

The characteristics of political struggle are: if you make me uncomfortable for a while, I will make you uneasy for the rest of your life! For Chen Ajiao, since these clearly want to make me uncomfortable for the rest of my life, why can't I play some third-rate tricks to make you unhappy?

As high as the risk is, there is as much profit as possible. it, let's do it first. So, Chen Ajiao really did it!

But unfortunately, the witch Gu case was discovered, and Chen Ajiao was exposed.

The profits were exposed before they were made, and Chen Ajiao didn't want to believe the result. But this is true anyway. And I don't know which rotten person directly exposed the case to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che was not in a hurry to punish the crime, let alone get angry, but summoned a fierce man and ordered him to investigate this witch Gu case to the bottom of the matter!

The fierce man summoned by Liu Che is the first day of the Han Dynasty's judicial circles: Zhang Tang, the servant of the imperial history!

I think that no matter what you do, you need some talent. It is precisely that Zhang Tang has shown the potential to be a judge since he was a child. It was his father who discovered that Zhang Tang had the talent of a judge.

Zhang Tang's father was Chang'an Cheng at the time, and he was on a business trip, leaving Zhang Tang alone to keep the house. When he came back, he found that the meat at home had been stolen and eaten by rats, and he was immediately angry: he couldn't even keep a mouse, what kind of home was this guard? So his father used the family method and waited for Zhang Tang with a whip.

Zhang Tang guarded the family and lost meat, using a judicial term, which is called dereliction of duty. Dereliction of duty should be beaten, as a matter of course. However, what made people fall through the glasses was that Zhang Tang, who was beaten, took his anger out on the mouse. What's even more shocking is that in order to curry favor with justice, Zhang Tang created the most creative style in China's judicial history - trial of rats!

Where are the rats? In the hole. Maybe the rat who stole the meat at this time was secretly eating meat while listening to Zhang Tang being spanked and snickering. But there is a price to be paid for stealing! After Zhang Tang found the rat hole, he used fire to smoke. As a result, as soon as the rat forced by the smoke came out of the hole, it was caught by Zhang Tang!

Zhang Tang's genius lies in the fact that he did not step on a mouse with one foot. Instead, a case was filed to track down this bitter mouse. First, Zhang Tang digs up the leftover meat eaten by the rats as evidence of the crime. Then a strange pleadings were written, accusing the rat of robbery. In the end, Zhang Tang, as a judge, sentenced the rat to death and crushed him to death on the spot...

Zhang Tang's vivid scene surprised and delighted the old father. A person judges a rat, both a plaintiff and a judge, and the two eat the defendant in one, high! If such a genius is not cultivated, it is really a waste of the advantageous resources of the Han Dynasty.

Since then, Zhang's father decided to support his son on the path of a judge. Zhang Tang followed his father and wrote a lot of prison books, and he also saw a lot of the world. After his father's death, Zhang Tang took over, and later became a rafter of the famous cool official Ning Cheng, and learned a lot of cool officials' methods of handling cases from this boss. Later, he met nobles along the way, was promoted all the way, and rose step by step.

Zhang Tang's biggest nobleman, the first prime minister Tian Wei. Tian Wei saw that Zhang Tang was a judicial talent, so he recommended him to be a supplementary servant. This position is the candidate for the imperial history. But what Zhang Tang didn't expect was that before he had time to become the imperial history, Tian Wei's spirit was damaged due to fighting with Dou Ying, and he was summoned to heaven. After Tian Wei's death, Han Anguo, the imperial historian, concurrently served as prime minister. However, Han Anguo is also weak enough. A few days after the prime minister, he fell from the car and seriously injured his foot. Liu Che saw that Han Anguo could no longer work, so he had to remove him from his post and let a person named Xue Ze be the prime minister and a person named Zhang Ou to be the imperial doctor. Zhang Tang had no choice but to stay where he was.

Xue Ze or Zhang Ou. They are all transitional figures, and among the political figures of the Han Dynasty, they seem to have been born with green leaves, destined to be a foil. So when the Chen Ajiao witch Gu case was discovered, Liu Che's first thought was that it was Zhang Tang, an overly talented person in Chinese judicial history!

Liu Che handed over the case to Zhang Tang for another reason: Zhang Tang is cool. Please note: it's cold, not pretending. For Zhang Tang, since the leader handed over such a big case to himself, of course he had to investigate it carefully.

Sure enough, Zhang Tang carried forward the judicial spirit of beating water rats when he was a child, and after investigating to the end, it turned out that there were more than 300 people involved in the Chen Ajiao witch Gu case! These people, Zhang Tang all wrote death letters for them, and they were all dragged out and beheaded. The culprit Chu Fu was sentenced to be beheaded in the city.

So, what should Queen Chen Ajiao do? With such a big background, Zhang Tang, as a servant of the imperial history, of course has no power to preside over the trial. The only thing he could do was to hand over the evidence to Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and let the emperor worry about it...

Liu Che has been disgusted with Chen Ajiao for a day or two. So he issued an edict, the original text of which is as follows: The queen is out of order, confused by Wu Zhu, and cannot inherit the mandate of heaven. On its seal, it retreated to the Nagato Palace.

It's all over! On July 14, Empress Chen Ajiao was deposed and imprisoned in Changmen Palace. The Changmen Palace is in the southeast of Chang'an City. Originally, it was the princess of the pavilion, that is, a back garden of Chen Ajiao's mother Liu Concubine, called Changmen Garden. Later, Liu Concubine gave it to Liu Che, and Liu Che renamed it Changmen Palace.

Now I understand everything: Liu Che sent Chen Ajiao back to her parents' former territory, and the implementation was a return policy...

And Liu Che, who handled the witch Gu case in Zhang Tang, was very satisfied, so he promoted him to be a doctor in Taizhong. Let him and a doctor named Zhao Yu begin to revise the laws of the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were four people who were the founders of the Han Law: Xiao He's Law Order, Han Xin's Law of War, Shusun Tong's Law of Etiquette, and Zhang Cang's Statute. At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was disgusted by the harshness of the Qin law and abolished many inhumane provisions. In fact, Xiao Heding's set of laws is still not tolerant enough. Later, Cao Shen came to power and kept the same law on Xiao Heding. So much so that when it came to the reign of Wenjing, Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty personally participated in the sorting and improvement, and abolished some harsh punishments; Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty came to power and continued to change.

Therefore, before Liu Che ascended the throne, the laws of the Han Dynasty were basically based on whether the people were satisfied or not. If you are not satisfied, change it until the people nod and praise it. Liu Qi worked hard to make changes, and the people were too satisfied. Some criminal laws have simply reached the point where they feel at a loss if they don't commit crimes.

The guiding ideology of the two emperors of Wenjing in revising the law was Huang Lao Thought. Huang Lao's thinking has always been a work attitude of less care. However, time has passed, and Liu Che no longer likes Huang Lao's technique. He believes that the most ideal way to govern the country is to combine the rule of law with the rule of ethics. That is, the so-called "external Confucianism and internal law", in Liu Che's view, Legalism is practical; Confucianism is used to embellish the level of prosperity and set a moral model for society. The specialty of legal experts is that it is not to make the law simpler and lighter, but to make it heavier and heavier, and the provisions must be enforced in accordance with the law.

Zhang Tang is doing this kind of boring work of refining the law. The work is hard, but the profits are attractive. After Zhang Tang and Zhao Yu partnered to revise the law of the Han Dynasty, the two were promoted at the same time. Zhao Yu was promoted to Shaofu, and Zhang Tang was promoted to court lieutenant. It is officially listed as the position of Jiuqing.

Chen Ajiao was abolished in the Changmen Palace because of witchcraft, and her mother, Liu Yan, the master of Dou, was also ashamed, and hurriedly entered the palace to apologize in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Che comforted him with a few words of kindness before sending Liu out of the palace.

However, as the aunt and mother-in-law of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and she supported the old palace, does she need to bend her knees and apologize like this? It turns out that there is another hidden story here, which is also a scandal in Han history:

There was once a woman who sold pearls for a living and often went in and out of Liu Yan's house, and sometimes brought her son Dong Yan with her, Dong Yan was taken by Liu Yan at a glance, and she was only 13 years old when she asked her age. Liu Yanxi said: "Let your son follow me." I should raise you here" Dong Yan has been left in the Hou Mansion so far.

Later, Liu Yan's husband, Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, died of illness, and all funeral matters were arranged by Dong Yan in an orderly manner. After her husband died, Liu Yan openly went out with Dong Yan, and gave Dong Yan a huge amount of money, so that he could make a wide range of guests and win people's hearts. A group of princes and juqing, also known as Dong Yan as Dong Jun. The Changmen Palace was dedicated to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when Dong Yan listened to Yuan An's reminder from his son Uncle Yuan and suggested to Liu Concubine to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Because of this scandal, Liu Concubine in front of her nephew Liu Che often feels embarrassed. Therefore, her daughter Empress was deposed, and Liu Concubine did not have the face to make a fuss in front of the emperor.

On this day, Liu Che came to visit his aunt. After entering the room, Liu Che smiled and said, "I wish to tell the master" Mrs. Dou was full of shame, and hurriedly led out Dong Yan, "Princess Tao of the Pavilion is a minister who is obscure to death" Liu Che is not too much for himself, so he let Dong Yan calm down and sit and drink with Mrs. Dou.

After that, Dong Yan had to enter and leave the palace freely and get close to Tianyan. Often from Liu Che to play the North Palace, gallop Pingle, dogs and horses, play and bow, and invite the main family. Once, the Dou Taizhu Liu Concubine entered the palace to pay homage. Liu Chete set up a wine room for him, and summoned Dong Yan to come to drink together and rejoice with the lord. Dongfang Shuo, who was guarding the side of the palace with a halberd at that time, immediately threw a halberd and broke in, "Dong Yan has three major crimes, and he should be beheaded: 1. Yan is a lowly minister and serves the princess; 2. Defeat the transformation of men and women, and the ritual of marriage is disordered, which violates the royal system; 3 Your Majesty is rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he should read the Six Classics, pay attention to the government, and instead of following the scriptures and persuasion, he will bewitch His Majesty with beautiful luxury... His Majesty is not responsible for the three crimes, but also to introduce the Xuan Room, and the ministers are worried about His Majesty" Liu Che was silent for a long time, and then said, "Forget it this time, change it next time" Dongfang Shuo Zhengse retorted, "No!" The Xuan Room is the main hall of the first emperor, and non-righteous people are not allowed to enter. In ancient times, the catastrophe of usurpation and rebellion was mostly caused by **. The country is in turmoil because of prostitution, and it is difficult for Qing's father to die. If Your Majesty doesn't prevent it, I'm afraid that the misfortune will be rooted from this kind of root" Liu Che nodded at this time, and issued an edict to move the banquet to the North Palace, let Dong Yan enter the banquet from the East Sima Gate, and change the name of the East Sima Gate to Dongjiaomen. Give Dongfang Shuo thirty catties of gold. No more favors.

This year, Liu Che issued an edict again: those who conquer the affairs of the counties and the people of the world and practice the first sage Confucianism can go to Beijing with the officials to participate in countermeasures. Gongsun Hong, a civilian old man who has passed a year, has created a miracle, and he won the first place in this countermeasure!
