"Okay, hurry up and eat, then you can get rid of me!" Miss Ranger said.

When Zhang Chao heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you going to let me go?" ”

"Yes, although I don't agree with your idea, at least you are a good official, a good official who really works for the welfare of the people. I can't do anything to you because I repay you, because although that guy is kind to our family, I won't do much evil for him. What's more, you are a good official, although I don't agree with your idea, but at least I also know that you are a person who really wants the good of the people in his heart, so if I kill you, wouldn't it be helping to abuse? Although we rangers are happy to take revenge, it does not mean that we are willing to be bad people. We have always wanted to do justice for the people, not to harm them. Killing a good official is tantamount to not knowing how many people have been killed, so I can't do anything to you, you better go! Miss Ranger said.

When Zhang Chao heard this, his heart was also very flat, because he knew that it was impossible for this Ranger to kill him. Because it is impossible for that guy from Guanglu Temple to let this Ranger Miss kill him, unless he is ready to flee for his life, otherwise he will face the cruel revenge of the group of Yushi. However, the guy from Guanglu Temple may want to detain himself and then make it impossible for him to audit his departure, and immediately let this Ranger Miss limit his freedom. However, he never dreamed that this ranger lady still had some conscience, and did not choose to kill herself, but chose to let herself go, so that Zhang Chao could continue to clean up those corrupt officials. Especially the guy from Guanglu Temple, they are definitely unclean, so Zhang Chao has no reason to let them go.

"If the world wants you rangers to administer justice, isn't that the sorrow of us officials? It is the sorrow of our country! If the people of a country need rangers to administer justice, then the country is corrupt. Therefore, as long as this court can be fair, then there will be no room for you rangers to survive. Zhang Chao said.

But Miss Ranger was obviously not pleased, and said, "Eat your stuff quickly, and then fuck me off." I have repaid the favor by arresting you this time. Anyway, he just asked me to arrest you, but he didn't ask me not to let you go, so I didn't break my promise at the time by letting you go! That guy wasn't a good guy, so I couldn't help him much, especially not to do bad things for him. But if you have kindness, you have to repay it, and if I arrest you for a while, it can be regarded as repaying him for my kindness, and then I will have nothing else to owe him. We rangers, if we have kindness, we will repay it, and if we have revenge, we will also repay it. ”

Zhang Chao was speechless, this kind of word game still has such a way to play, it is really speechless. However, since people are going to let him go, Zhang Chao won't say much, because he doesn't have a hobby of being kidnapped, so he still chooses to eat quickly and leave quickly. However, this kidnapping can't be kidnapped in vain, and it is necessary to ruthlessly investigate how much unclean the guy from Guanglu Temple has, so that he can be brought to justice. These corrupt officials have ruined the reputation of the whole country! A rat poop can spoil a pot of soup, and if there is one corrupt official, then maybe the people will think that there are ten corrupt officials. If there are ten corrupt officials, then maybe many people also think that all the corrupt officials in this world are corrupt. Therefore, it is necessary to find one by one and clean up one by one, so as to ensure that the officialdom is clean and upright.

What's more, corrupt officials must be suppressed, and if corrupt officials are not suppressed, then these corrupt trends will inevitably become like infectious diseases, which will spread very quickly, and it will be difficult to reverse them in the end. Therefore, when encountering corrupt officials, it is absolutely necessary to have zero tolerance, so that national security can be truly prevented from problems. What's more, what Zhang Chao hated the most back then was corrupt officials, many of these corrupt officials belonged to the old vested interests, and they did not want reform, especially the reform of the judicial system and the supervision system, which they hated the most. Because they know that once the judicial and supervisory systems are reformed, their good life will inevitably come to an end, so they are a huge vested interest and one of those who oppose reform. Therefore, Zhang Chao will never allow corrupt officials to exist, and he must clean up one when he sees one.

After Zhang Chao finished eating, he was ready to leave. However, at this time, a group of Qianniuwei came running outside, and the ranger lady immediately picked up her sword and prepared to fight.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Chao asked.

And Qian Niuwei immediately said: "Zhang Yushi, we are ordered to rescue you!" The emperor heard that you had been kidnapped, so we came to rescue you. We investigated and found out that you were captured by a woman, so we are here to help you. ”

And after that Qianniuwei finished speaking, he immediately said to the ranger lady: "I advise you to tie up your hands and catch it, otherwise we can kill you here on the spot!" ”

The Ranger lady immediately held the hilt of her sword, as if she was about to draw her sword and fight if she didn't say a word.

"Wait a minute, this Ranger was the one who saved me, he saw me kidnapped by a woman, so he came to save me. It wasn't he who kidnapped me, so it has nothing to do with him. Zhang Chao said.

And when the ranger lady heard this, she immediately felt very surprised, Zhang Chao would actually take the initiative to speak for her, this is simply incredible. In her eyes, it's good that Zhang Chao won't fall into the ground, but now Zhang Chao can still take the initiative to speak for him, which really surprises her.

"Alright, let her go!" Zhang Chao said.

Those Qianniuwei heard Zhang Chao's words, although they didn't know what had just happened, but they could see that Zhang Chao had no intention of holding this ranger lady accountable, and chose to let him go. However, the main task of these Qianniuwei this time is to rescue Zhang Chao, not to capture this ranger lady. So they soon left with Zhang Chao, and the ranger lady also chose to leave, and Zhang Chao was saved. However, Zhang Chao is about to raise the butcher knife next.

Inside the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan met Zhang Chao, who had just returned.

"Zhang Aiqing, how are you now?" Li Yuan asked.

Zhang Chao replied indifferently: "There is no problem, I was rescued by a lady of the heroine, so I naturally have no problem." However, the affairs of the imperial court must continue, and the audit of the departure of officials must also continue. If the outgoing audit fails, Nachen did not let them go. In my eyes, all corrupt officials are my enemies. ”

"Alright! There you go! Li Yuan didn't say much, just asked Zhang Chao to continue to audit those officials who were about to leave office.

Zhang Chao took the people from Yushitai to Guanglu Temple, and then the official of Guanglu Temple saw that Zhang Chao actually came back, and then immediately felt extremely nervous. Because he didn't expect Zhang Chao to come back, this is simply too pitiful. Now that Zhang Chao is back, then he is afraid that the end is coming. If Zhang Chao finds out the evidence of his corruption, then I am afraid that he will really be in trouble next. According to the evidence of his corruption, his sin is so great that it is not easy to bear.

"Take out the accounts of your Guanglu Temple!" Zhang Chao said.

Soon, Zhang Chao began to calculate the account books of this Guanglu Temple official. Especially those things that he has procured by hand, it is even more important to check carefully. And the ability to make fake accounts in this era is too poor, and the level of mathematics in this era is simply unsightly, Zhang Chao quickly found out a lot of problems. And compared with those corrupt officials in later generations, these corrupt officials are simply not of the same grade, and they are much rougher than those in later generations. What's more, the corrupt officials in ancient times were very unscrupulous, because they didn't have much supervision, compared to the supervision system of later generations, it was simply equivalent to no supervision at all, so they would definitely have many people who couldn't help but take the opportunity to get some wealth.

"This Lu Sicheng, you have reaped a lot of benefits during this time! Do you still need me to say more? Come on, pull this guy down, and wait for the trial of the three law divisions of Dali Temple and the Yushitai of the Criminal Department. Zhang Chao said.

And after hearing this, Lu Sicheng immediately said angrily: "I am a member of the Lu family in Fanyang, who dares to arrest me?" ”

Hearing this, those ordinary soldiers didn't dare to make a move, because the Fan Yang Lu family was not something they could afford to offend. Because the Fanyang Lu family is one of the seven sects and five surnames, it is a super huge wealthy family. So when they heard that this guy claimed to be from the Lu family, they naturally didn't dare to mess around.

"Arrest him, I'll be in charge of everything!" Zhang Chao said.

Hearing this, it was the soldiers who dared to arrest this person from the Fan Yang Lu family.

"Zhang Chao, you pariah, you pariah, you dare to arrest me. You scumbag, how dare you arrest me? You don't look at who I am, I am a member of the Fanyang Lu family, I am extremely noble than you, you dare to arrest me? You wait, the Lu family won't let you go! ”

Soon, the news that Zhang Chao had arrested the people of Fan Yanglu's family also spread. And although this is only a side branch of the Lu family, it makes everyone feel that Zhang Chao actually made a move against the Lu family of the scholar clan. Zhang Chao finally made the first punch against the scholars, although this was on the grounds of anti-corruption, but for many officials, Zhang Chao wanted to wage war against the scholars. Hearing the news, many people also began to sit still. Now it is a battle between the Shi clan and the Han Gate, don't look at Zhang Chao now that he is just fighting corruption, but it has been raised by some people with ulterior motives to the point of the fight between the Shi clan and the Han Gate. It seems that keeping this surnamed Lu is also saving the face of the Shi clan, which can be regarded as ensuring that the Shi clan is not suppressed.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Chao, the palace attendant, framed the ministers of the court and the scholars. Because he himself was from a humble background, he was envious and jealous of the scholars, so he was the enemy of the scholars. And this kind of lowly person should be severely punished, so that the people of the world can see that the majesty of the scholar clan is inviolable. Immediately, a scholar said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, Zhang Chao slandered the scholars and could not be forgiven, please ask the emperor to order Zhang Chao to be beheaded for public display, and give an explanation to all the scholars! "Your Majesty, Zhang Chao can't stay! If Zhang Chao is kept, there will definitely be no peace in the country. "Your Majesty, the scholar clan is the cornerstone of the imperial court, if people humiliate the scholar clan like this, then I am afraid that the imperial court will collapse!" ……

One by one, these guys are attacking Zhang Chao, as if Zhang Chao is a heinous person. However, Li Yuan sneered in his heart, because he knew that these scholars did not have many good things. Through the economic and political power at their disposal, they fought against the emperor's court. Of course, Li Yuan knew that cooperating with the Shi clan was seeking skin with the tiger, because from the perspective of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Shi clan was not reliable. Once they decide that the emperor is not in their interest, they will also choose to support another person to rebel.

Before Li Yuan became the emperor, he naturally needed to cooperate with the scholars. But once he becomes the emperor, it is naturally the ass that decides the head, he naturally wants to maintain the inheritance of the throne of his family's descendants, and naturally regards the scholar clan as a thorn in the flesh, and he will not let it go so easily. So now that Li Yuan saw that Zhang Chao had captured the Shi clan, those Shi clans immediately flew into a rage. However, Li Yuan thought that at this time, not only could not punish Zhang Chao, but should support Zhang Chao. If there was no Zhang Chao and these Hanmen to take the lead, how could the emperor balance the relationship between the scholars and the Hanmen? Even, any emperor is biased towards the cold door in his heart, because the cold door is easy to control, not like the scholar clan. The Hanmen were more loyal to the emperor, unlike those who were far more loyal to the family than to the emperor. So Li Yuan has already given Zhang Chao a few likes in his heart, because Zhang Chao took the initiative to fight the Shi clan, which has already made the Shi clan thunderous.

"Alright, I'll think about it, you can go back and wait for my news!" Li Yuan said.

Those Shi clan officials left helplessly, obviously it was not interesting to stay here, Li Yuan obviously did not plan to attack Zhang Chao. They could only consider finding another person to attack Zhang Chao, and this person was obviously someone about the same strength as Li Yuan.

"Zhang Yushi, aren't you afraid? Now the scholars of the court are impeaching you! Liu Renliang asked.

Zhang Chao said lightly: "These scholars are different, the more they are impeached, the more the emperor will be relieved of me, and the more he wants to protect me." And can those scholars still be able to oppose the emperor? Although the scholars are scholars, although they have many privileges, they have no military power. It is now different from the period of confrontation between the North and the South, when the scholars still had a lot of military power, and they were able to form their own private army. But now the Shi clan no longer has its own private army, and after so many eras, from the former Sui to the present, the strength of the Shi clan has begun to decline. Their private army is becoming less and less, and it is not at all the climate. Therefore, the nobles seem to have a huge influence in the officialdom, but they are also all civilian. In terms of military power, in fact, the emperor still holds the military power. And as long as the emperor has the power of the army, the emperor will not fall. And the emperor will not fall, then I will be very stable. The more they sued me, the more the emperor supported me. The emperor knows that the more this time comes, the more he wants to support me, because those reactions of the scholar clan have already begun to bear fruit. They already feel threatened by us, so they want to hit us. But the emperor won't be too stupid, so not only will he not suppress me, but he will support me. ”

"King Qin has arrived!"

When Zhang Chao heard this, he immediately asked, "King Qin, what did he come to me for?" ”

"Zhang Yushi, this king is here today, so I won't hide it from you. It was the Fan Yang Lu family who found this king through Xuan Ling, and I hope you can raise your hand to the people of the Lu family. Li Shimin said.

And of course Zhang Chao knew that the Lu family would naturally not let himself clean up this surnamed Lu, because if the people of the Lu family were cleaned up by Zhang Chao, then his prestige would naturally be somewhat damaged. So he naturally wants to protect this surnamed Lu, so that he can not only deal a blow to Zhang Chao's prestige in turn, but also show his strength and force Zhang Chao to stop. However, they took the initiative to ask Li Shimin, which surprised Zhang Chao very much. Fang Xuanling, the son-in-law of the Lu family, has already come out to speak for the Lu family, obviously hoping that Zhang Chao will not continue to attack the Lu family.

And Zhang Chao immediately asked: "King Qin, don't you want the law of the imperial court?" Could it be that just because of the scholars, you don't want the laws of the court? ”

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, because he also knew that this was very inappropriate. In ancient times, the laws of the imperial court actually represented the orders of the emperor. In ancient times, the law did not come from the people of later generations, but from the emperor's "mouth with the constitution of heaven". This is the so-called ancient Legalism can not really represent the idea of the rule of law, the ancient Legalists did not have a real sense of the rule of law, they actually mainly rely on the monarch's autocratic centralization, which is the reason why Zhang Chao does not recognize the Legalists.

But Li Shimin is now asking Zhang Chao to stop attacking the people of the Lu family for the sake of the scholars, which is actually violating the ancient laws and violating the ancient laws, which means attacking the emperor's power. The ancient law symbolized submission, and submission to the law means submission to the emperor. But now the people of the Lu family actually want to oppose the law, which means that they don't take Li Tang Royal seriously. This made Li Shimin's face turn blue.

"Zhang Yushi, you don't know the difficulties of this king, this king ......," Li Shimin said.

But Zhang Chao immediately said: "King Qin, there is no begging in this world. If you want the country to be stable, only the country you have laid is the most stable. If you hope to get the country by begging, and hope to get the support of others to get power, then in the end it is just a bamboo basket for nothing. So, if you can rely on the nobles today, they will continue to devour more tomorrow. Past history has proven that relying on the nobles will not only fail to achieve true stability, but will allow them to grow into gluttonous beasts. At the end of Liu Han, Cao Pi curried favor with the scholars, but the scholars finally rebelled against Cao Wei. In the end, how many of those who rely on the scholars can be stable? Therefore, it is better to seek others than to seek yourself, if your own strength is not good, then in the end life and death are controlled in the hands of others. ”

Li Shimin's face was very ugly, and Zhang Chao directly pointed out how stupid Li Shimin's idea of hoping to seize the throne by relying on the Shi clan was. If you hope to seize the throne by relying on fullness, then you will definitely suffer in the end. Relying on the Shi clan to seize the throne, then in the end, if the Shi clan doesn't look down on you, then the family will replace you, and in the end, you will still face the fate of death and annihilation. Therefore, relying on the nobles is not reliable.

"King Qin, if you think it's okay to paste it. However, many times, you are a hot face against someone's cold ass. And they don't look down on you at all, they look down on you royal, are they willing to marry their daughters to the royal? Even, you are willing to let the princess marry, but they are still not willing to marry! They don't look down on you at all, so no matter what, you won't be able to win their favor. Zhang Chao said.

And Li Shimin's face was even darker, because the Shi clan was really what Zhang Chao said. Because the nobles looked down on the bloodlines of others, they were pretentious, they considered themselves noble, and disdained to marry ordinary people. This is no longer the so-called door-to-door pair that can be explained clearly, they all look down on others in their bones. Even if others work hard, even if others rely on their own efforts to achieve status, they still look down on them. Because these scholars think that these people's bloodlines are all dirty things, this kind of bloodline is innate, even if they work hard to achieve their identity and status the day after tomorrow, they will be looked down upon.

Of course, Li Shimin knew that even if the Li family became the emperor, even if they hoped to marry the daughter of those scholars as a concubine, no one was willing to take the initiative to marry their daughter to the royal family. They would rather marry their daughter to a scholar who was born as a nine-rank petty official than marry their daughter to the royal family. Even if the royal family became the emperor and ruled the country, they were mostly untouchables in their eyes, and their blood was full of dirt.

Li Shimin's face turned black by Zhang Chao, because the scholars were so arrogant, which Li Shimin couldn't tolerate in his heart. As a person who wants to be an emperor, he naturally can't allow his subordinates to be so arrogant and despise him so much. Even if Li Shimin now hopes to gain the support of the scholars, it does not mean that he is willing to be regarded as a pariah by others.

In the eyes of the scholars, the princes of themselves are all filthy people, and the scholars do not regard themselves as human beings at all, even if they are emperors, this makes Li Shimin's eyes full of anger. If you want the Shi clan to support you, then Li Shimin feels as if he is like a dog of the Shi clan, and then begs the Shi clan to give him some bones to gnaw.
