I have to say that although Emperor Wu has a faint place, but when it comes to governing the country, she is not inferior to a man, she has been in the dynasty for more than 30 years, and has resolutely crusaded against the invasion and rebellion of Tubo, Khitan and Turkic, without compromise, and implemented the strategy of surrendering and appeasing it, and rebelling against it; Internally, it has attached great importance to agriculture, built water conservancy, promoted the development of the foundry, mining, and textile industries, conducted civil and military examinations, recruited talents, and stockpiled grain depots in various prefectures and counties, and steadily increased its comprehensive national strength.

He is also extremely good at employing people, and it can be said that both virtuous ministers and ministers have used it to the extreme.

The most basic need of the people is nothing more than to be fed, regardless of whether the highest seat in the court is male or female.

It has always been individual ministers and families who have opinions, and it is the most unbearable to ask them to kneel down to women. The so-called restoration of Li Tang is just a rhetoric, Li Xian and Li Dan are all cowardly and unassertive people, this is the favorite monarch of the powerful family.

Emperor Wu is eighty years old, Shen Mengxi enters the palace once a month to ask for peace, following the rules, although Emperor Wu is more prosperous than his peers, but Shen Mengxi is still under the cover of her rich incense, smelling the smell of the exclusive elderly.

The Zhang brothers naturally know these things better, they are like people who are dying and squandering their lives, poor and extravagant, doing whatever they want, and having no scruples. Emperor Wu also connived at them even more, and the Zhang brothers were incomparably powerful.

More and more officials chose to cling to the Zhang brothers, and Wei Yuanzhong, the squire of the Fengge Pavilion and the acting prime minister, played Emperor Wu for this: "The ministers were valued by the first emperor, and they were favored by His Majesty for many years, but now they make the villain live on the side of the king, and the sin of the ministers is also!" ”

Emperor Wu was displeased when she heard this, and now what she values most is Zhang Yizhi, who refined the elixir for her, Qingjun side? Is this the elixir that is going to cut off her, do you think she has lived too long?

When the Zhang brothers found out, they held a grudge.

Due to its convenient transportation and developed waterways, Luoyang is prosperous and not inferior to Chang'an.

In July, the Luo River is full of cruise ships and merchant ships. There are singers and dancers singing and dancing on the bow of the ship. Painting boat lanterns, yarn tent tassels, piano sound and flowing water, sons and beauties, bustling and prosperous scenes.

On a small painting boat, four or five young people who look like students are enjoying the scenery along the river while discussing poems, and sometimes burst into cheerful and clear laughter. The painting boat was light, and in an instant, it overtook several painting boats, and sailed towards the shore dock, where two merchant ships were unloading, taking up a lot of space, and a teenager shouted: "Hurry up, there is still a vacant seat in the east!" ”

Another teenager also shouted: "Su Hang, come to the shore, let's go to Fumanlou to drink, we must drink three glasses of Wuliang wine today!" ”

"Forget it, Meng Balang, with your amount of wine, if you go down with a glass of Wuliang wine, you will overturn!"

"Duh! Su San, you fang! Shout again and break off relations with you! ”

The boat was filled with the laughter of young men, and the boatman also smiled and agreed, and slowly leaned the boat towards the shore. Suddenly, there was a "bang", the stern of the ship was struck, and several teenagers were shaken to sit down on the deck, and they got up and walked to the stern angrily to check, and saw that it was a large painting boat, the deck was much higher than them, and someone in the bow was throwing out the hook to hook their boat, and a slave shouted: "Get out of the way, this is my ship!" ”

"I haven't heard of a private boat on the bank of the Luo River! Dare to be a slave! Don't let the hook go yet! Meng Balang Meng Qian pointed at the servant and roared.

The slave smiled with the left side of his face, gave them a disdainful look, and with a wave of his hand, five or six strong servants jumped onto the painting boat, causing the boatman to kneel and kowtow in fright. Several people rushed up, three times and two times, turned the boat around, and made room for the big boat.

"Obviously there is still a vacant seat next to it, why just grab this one ship? What kind of slave are you, so lacking in discipline? Su Hang was so angry that he stepped forward and asked.

"This ship is facing the road, the carriage is just docking, my big ship docks here every time, you don't know and don't blame you, it's the boat's hateful!" After speaking, he kicked towards the boatman, but the boatman did not struggle, and fell into the river with strength.

"Cheap slave!" Su Hang stepped forward, leaned over to look at the river, and did not see the boatman showing his head for a long time, and he was anxious.

A sturdy slave laughed, "Those who feed on water can drown!" After speaking, Su Hang was pulled aside, propped the boat to the side of the painting boat, and got on the painting boat.

Everyone on the big painting boat laughed, and Su Hang trembled with anger, "Tell your master to come out!" ”

Four or five teenagers climbed onto the big boat and shouted for their master to come out.

A young man shaking a folding fan showed his face by a window in the painting boat and asked reservedly, "What's the noise?" ”

"This cheap slave dares to ram the painting boat and forcibly occupy the ship's position, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dares to act like this, and there is no Heavenly Law of the King!" Su Hang pointed to the crooked mouth of the slave and said.

"Wang Fa? He told me about the king's law? After speaking, he looked back, and there was immediately a loud laugh in the painting boat.

Su Hang was so excited that his face turned red, and he grabbed the folding fan man's shirt through the window, "You come out!" Let's get it clear! ”

Luo Jicheng, who came up together, recognized that the folding fan man was actually Zhang Changxian, the younger brother of the popular Zhang Liulang in front of Emperor Wu, grabbed Su Hang and dragged him back, "San Lang, go quickly!" ”

Zhang Changxian tidied up his collar and put away the folding fan with a snap, "Hit!" ”

More than a dozen healthy servants rushed up, and Luo Jicheng hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" He is the third lang of the Su Shilang family, and that is the seven langs of the Jiang servant shooting family......"

"Don't fight yet!"

The voice has not fallen, but the fist has fallen.

Five and a half teenagers were knocked to the ground. For a moment, the nose was blue and the face was swollen.

Zhang Changxian waved his hand, and several people in the painting boat came out, and one person chose one, laughed and raised his foot to kick the teenagers down the river. I only heard a few plops, followed by cries for help.

Although these little Langjun who guarded the Luohe River were all good at six arts, they couldn't swim, and they had been up and down several times, and they were rescued by Zhang Changxian, who had laughed enough, and commanded the servants.

Meng Qian crouched on the shore and vomited, suddenly remembered something, and looked around, "Su San!" What about Su San! ”

The young people looked around in embarrassment, how could there be a shadow of Su Hang?

It seems that I haven't seen Su San emerge from the beginning! Meng Qian threw himself into the river, "Su San! ”

A servant stopped him and looked up at Zhang Changxian on the painting boat inquiringly. Zhang Changxian frowned with some annoyance, and flicked the folding fan, "Landlubbers, you can drown on the shore!" After saying that, he beckoned everyone to get off the boat, get into the carriage, and go away.

Meng Qian and others took out the money bag and offered a reward for the unloading slaves to go into the water to save people, and a quarter of an hour later, Su Hang's body was salvaged underwater, and the teenagers caressed the corpse and wailed.

The moment Su Hang fell into the water, he choked on his lungs, died instantly, and sank to the bottom. The young man's face was blue and purple, and he was still frightened, Su Shilang's hair was white overnight, and he knelt on the court on the second day, kowtowing and bleeding, and asked Emperor Wu to severely punish the murderer.

Emperor Wu looked at Su Shilang's sideburns, sighed, and handed over the case to Wei Yuanzhong for trial.
