Chapter 207 Chrysostom Yuyan

The night wind is cold to the bone, and the Son of Heaven, who can no longer be stabbed immediately, sighed lightly, all the people in the world, only know the widow's golden mouth, and his words, but he doesn't know that there are parties behind him to break the family, and some people are widowed and hand-pulled, but the government and the opposition are turbulent, and the public opinion is turbulent, Confucianism forces me, Huang Laodao forces me, the princes and kings force me, and the widow has to live up to them for the sake of his name in front of and behind him, and the Liu family's world!

At the beginning, the widow appointed cool officials to whip the world, and was scolded by Confucianism and Huang Laodao, but this is only because the Han court has used soldiers for many years and has been conscripted in all directions, for a century-old plan! You only know that in order to raise money and food, taxes and labor are becoming more and more onerous day by day, coupled with the fact that the cool officials are in power, and the officials in various places are tyrannical and inconsiderate, and the result is that the people's resentment is boiling. Seeing that there was no way to live, the common people rose up one after another and went up the mountain to become bandits. But this world is not only a family and a surname world, if the Huns go south, you are all slaves!

Well, the people's grievances were boiling, and the widow ordered Fan Kun, Storm Shengzhi and others to be embroidered messengers, wearing tiger charms, and went to various places to suppress them. These people are directly under the orders of the widows, can act on the impromptu in case of trouble, and can also mobilize the army, so they often act vigorously and resolutely in the localities, and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, which can be said to be for the sake of the country.

Liu Che looked at the starlight in the night sky, and it seemed to be a familiar face...... It's Zhang Tang! One day when he was young at home, his father came back and saw that the meat had been eaten by rats, so he beat him. Without crying or making a fuss, he turned around and went to dig a rat hole. After catching the rat and eating the remaining meat, the rat was tried, and the trial writ was written, the charges were confirmed, and the rat was torn to shreds on the spot.

That one is Wang Wenshu, when he was young, he was idle, not doing his job, he was a tomb robber, and he often carried a big hammer in his hand on a dark and windy night, specializing in killing people and stealing goods. This kind of goods, later became the pavilion chief of the county, and after meeting Zhang Tang, he was actually promoted to the imperial history. It's a pity that the late festival is not guaranteed! When Wang Wenshu was a lieutenant in Guangping County, he had the evidence of the crimes of more than a dozen officials in advance, and then asked them to do things. If anyone does not do his best, he will bring out the evidence of his guilt and put him to death accordingly, and some of them will even be exterminated. Quang Binh County is so safe that there is a phenomenon of not leaving a trail behind. When the widow heard about it, he thought that Wang Wenshu was very capable, so he promoted him to the position of the governor of Hanoi. Transferred to Hanoi Taishou, Wang Wenshu repeated his old tricks and searched for the gangsters in the county, and as a result, more than 1,000 people were implicated. So Wang Wenshu went to the court: the big crime will be punished, the small crime will be executed, and all the property will be confiscated. Some powerful people thought that it would take several days to go back and forth with official documents, so they wanted to entrust the relationship activities, but unexpectedly, Wang Wenshu got the approval in just two or three days. So he started killing, and the blood flowed for more than ten miles in a while. A small number of prisoners were not caught and fled to other places, so Wang Wenshu sent officials to arrest them everywhere. By the time I got it back, it was already spring. The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates: Killing and logging is prohibited in the beginning of spring. Wang Wenshu stomped his feet and sighed: "Hey, there will be one more month in winter, and my business will be done!" "When Wang Wenshu was a lieutenant in Chang'an, Yi Zong was an internal historian and happened to be his top boss. Wang Wenshu wanted to do something, but if he didn't ask Yizong in advance, Yizong would insult him in front of him and give him small shoes. Yizong was also a well-known cool official at that time, he was too punctual in Dingxiang County, and killed 400 people in one day, many of whom were not guilty, but were beaten by him. Therefore, Wang Wenshu is very jealous of righteousness, every time he sees him, he is like a little daughter-in-law, and he doesn't dare to act as recklessly as before. Yizong was sued for obstruction and was killed by the widow on the charge of disrespecting the decree. At this point, Wang Wenshu finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he recruited a group of resolute and bold ruffians and hooligans as minions, and specially fabricated charges for others. No one can escape if these people want to punish them, and once they fall into their hands, they will not be dragged out and beheaded, but they will also die in prison, and few will survive.

Zhang Tang is a well-known cool official, who is not afraid of the powerful. Wang Wenshu also pretended to be a cool official, but when he saw that the powerful were like a pug, if he wasn't a powerful person, he would treat others as pugs. Therefore, when he handles cases, as long as it is a powerful person, even if the crime is like a mountain, he will not even touch a finger; If you don't have power or power, even if you are a relative of the emperor, you have to peel off a layer of skin. Wang Wenshu went from Guangping County to Hanoi County, and then to Chang'an, killing tens of thousands of people along the way, but his official reputation was very good, just because he was very competent as a devil and a pug was also good. As Wang Wenshu's subordinate, as long as he obeys the call, even if the crime is heinous, he pretends not to see it, and tries every means to cover it, so those powerful bullies in the guan like to be used by him, and they blame people by unscrupulous means. There is a saying that disaster falls from the sky, and the people in Guanzhong at that time were like this, everyone was in danger, saying that the officials under him were tigers wearing official hats, and they sat at home. In a few years, many officials under Wang Wenshu became rich. Wang Wenshu set an example in Chang'an, and officials in various counties learned from him. As a result, the criminal law became more and more stringent, almost to the point of harshness, and the people would break the law if they were not careful. The so-called public resentment is boiling, and the horizontal and vertical is a death, so there are more and more thieves for thieves, some hundred and ten, some thousands, they occupy the mountains and forests, attack the city, and arrest and kill officials. The outnumbered people sent troops to suppress it everywhere, and the result was that as soon as it was extinguished, more appeared there, like a peasant uprising in the late Qin Empire. The widow was unhappy, but he still remembered that Wang Wenshu's head was not bright, and he did things indiscriminately, so he dared to kill people. Yu Shan, the king of Dongyue, betrayed the Han Dynasty, and the widow sent him and Yang Fu to lead troops to attack, and Dongyue collapsed without much effort. After returning to the court after victory, he was originally very hopeful of being crowned a marquis, but because he didn't know what to do during the performance, the widow was very unhappy, and the result was in vain. Soon, the widow found him a little problem and dismissed him from office. The imperial court conscripted, Wang Wenshu hid a wicked official named Hua Cheng, and was later denounced. Immediately afterwards, some people reported that he was attempting to rebel, and others accused him of embezzlement and bribery. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, these sins were enough to destroy the three tribes. Wang Wenshu was accustomed to the business of "wanting to add crimes, and there is no excuse for it", and he knew that he would not be able to escape, so he committed suicide. It happened that his two younger brothers and two in-laws also committed crimes and were exterminated, and Guanglu doctor Xu Ziwei sighed and said: "I just heard that the three clans were punished, and Wang Wenshu's sins were so bad that the five clans were exterminated at the same time!" ”

These cool officials are widowed eagle dogs, widows employ talents, but they are quite cruel to these people, and they fall to the ground at every turn. Only Ji Di advised: "Your Majesty worked tirelessly to seek talents, but before he could use them to his advantage, he killed them again. I'm afraid that if this continues, all the talents will be killed, and who else can help His Majesty rule the world? Ji Di was emotional, and his words were honest and unkind. The widow was very calm, and said with a smile: "How can there be no talent? I'm afraid that I don't know the goods. As long as I can recognize the goods, I'm afraid that no one will use them for me! The Dongyue people engaged in internal strife, and the widows sent Ji Di to inspect, and he turned back to Kyoto halfway through, and replied: "The Yue people attacked each other, and it was their custom to attack." This matter is not worth sending an envoy to the Son of Heaven at all! "There was a fire in Hanoi County, which burned more than 1,000 homes. Upon his return, Ki Dim reported: "There is no cause for Your Majesty to worry about the fact that houses in Hanoi were built next to each other, and a family accidentally caught fire and the fire spread." I passed through Henan County, where more than 10,000 families were affected by drought and flood, and even fathers and sons were cannibalistic. Under the pretense of the emperor's will, I ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain for relief to the victims, and I have come to ask Your Majesty for my guilt! The widow not only did not pursue him for the crime of pretension, but appreciated him.

Ji Huang was too punctual in Donghai County, carefully selected a few deputies, and then let them go. Because of his physical illness, he lay in the house all day and did not go out. After more than a year, Donghai County was well governed, and the people praised Jidian as the blue sky of Donghai County. At a court meeting, the widow said how he wanted to be. As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Di retorted: "Your Majesty says that you want to practice benevolence and righteousness, but you have too many desires in your heart, how can you follow Yao Shun to govern the world!" The widow's face suddenly became ugly, and he angrily announced his retreat from the dynasty. Back in the inner palace, the widow was still angry, and said to the attendants beside him: "Ji Di, this person, honest and upright, but it's too much!" "The widow's uncle Tian Wei became the prime minister, and his subordinates came to visit. Tian Wei sat there steadily, not even returning the salute. When it was Ji Di's turn, he didn't bow down, but just made a symbolic gesture, and then walked away. The widow asked Zhuang Suke, "How is this person?" Zhuang Zhu said: "If you let Ji Huang be an official, you don't have any special talent; But when it comes to assisting the young master and maintaining the foundation of the ancestors, even if fierce people like Meng Ben and Xia Yu block him, they can't change his original intention! The widow thought so, and said: "In ancient times, the so-called ministers of the society were very close to Ji Di!" "When the general Wei Qing entered the palace to do something, the widow squatted on the edge of the bed to meet him; The prime minister usually has something to do, and the widow doesn't even wear a hat. When it was Ji Di's turn to ask for a meeting, the widow's clothes were untidy and his hat was not properly worn, so he did not dare to meet him. Once, when the widow was sitting in a mighty tent, without a hat, he happened to come to perform a performance, and hurriedly hid in the inner tent, and asked his attendants to approve his recital. The south side of the Yellow River breached, and 16 counties were affected. The widow sent Ji Di to levy 100,000 laborers to block it, but who knew that it had just been blocked and broken. Tian Wei's food town is north of the Yellow River, and he is afraid that the breach in the south will be blocked, and the break in the north will affect his income, so he said: "The breach of the Yellow River is the will of heaven, how can it be blocked by manpower!" Even if it is blocked, it is against the will of God. So the widow did not condemn him, nor did he send him to block the breach. When the ministers saw Wei Qing, they all knelt and bowed. Every time Ji Di saw Wei Qing, he bowed to each other. Someone advised Ji Di to bow down, but Ji Huang retorted: "Is it disrespectful to the important general that I bow my hand?" After Wei Qing heard about it, he respected Ji Di more and more, and asked him for advice when he encountered any difficulties, treating him better than the people he had befriended. Gongsun Hong has been a prime minister for many years, ranking the third duke, but the quilt covered is sewn with linen, and he does not eat two kinds of meat and vegetables in one meal. Ji Di said to the widow: "The imperial court gives Gongsun Hong so many taels every year, but he still uses linen cloth as a quilt, which is obviously a trick to deceive people!" The widow told Gongsun Hong what Ji Di said, and Gongsun Hong admitted that it was true, saying, "In private, I have the best relationship with Ji Huang, so his words really hit the nail on my head." When I do this, on the surface, I am indeed suspected of being pretentious and selling my reputation, which is also a dizziness, so that Your Majesty can hear these words. ”

The widow regretted it, and for a while he was confused that Gongsun Hongqian had made him, and the more he respected him, he began to doubt Ji Di's character. Ji Huang's former subordinates later became equal to Ji Huang's official position, and some people became his top bosses. For this reason, Ji Di has a little complaint in his heart. One day, when he saw the widow, he said, "Your Majesty's employment is like a pile of firewood, and the latter always comes first." After Ji Di retreated, the widow said, "Ji Huang is getting more and more excessive!" The widow asked Ji Huang to be the Taishou of Huaiyang County, and Ji Huang asked the widow to resign in tears because of his old age and illness. The widow said: "The relationship between the local cadres and the masses in Huaiyang is tense, I just want to borrow your prestige, you just lie at home and deal with things." You can't look down on Huaiyang Taishou's position, right? So he said goodbye to the widow and went to take office. After Ji Di took office, he managed the affairs of the county as before, lying at home all day. As a result, Huaiyang County was greatly governed because of this. At first, the widow promised to transfer him back to Beijing soon, but it was soon seven years. Seven years later, he died in office.

Ji Di is the most accurate to see people, and the widow can't compare, he once said to Guannei Hou Li Xi: "Zhang Tang only wants to cater to the emperor's thoughts, and he is extremely treacherous, he likes to make trouble out of nothing, and sooner or later something will happen." If you don't give advice to the emperor as soon as possible, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to protect yourself! Li Xi usually spins his legs and stomach when he sees Zhang Tang, and it's too late to hide, he still dares to pick his thorns. Later, Zhang Tang was really ruined, and Li Xi was implicated and convicted together. Zhang Tang and Zhao Yu jointly formulated various laws and regulations, so as to be strict and harsh, especially for incumbent officials. As a result, the two creatively compiled the "Seeing and Knowing Law", that is, if an official knows that another official has committed a crime and does not report or impeach, he will be punished as an accomplice. When Zhang Tang tried the case, as long as the widow wanted to punish the crime, he handed it over to his subordinates who strictly enforced the law; As long as the widow wants to be relieved, he will hand it over to his subordinates who enforce the law laxly, so the widow is very satisfied with him. He always took special care of his friends' children, and whether it was cold or hot, he regularly went to the homes of princes and nobles to greet them. Therefore, although he is cunning, strict in law enforcement, unfair in trial, and likes to be clever, his popularity is not bad! Ji Di was most disgusted with Zhang Tang, and often questioned and reprimanded him in front of the widow, and the two began to argue. Zhang Tang always likes to talk about the provisions of the law, and he sticks to the details. Ji Di couldn't refute him, and he was so angry that he scolded: "Everyone in the world says that a sword and pen official can't be a minister, and that's true!" If you do this, you will not be afraid of misfortune! "It's a pity that the eagle dog is gradually restless, and at the court meeting, every time Zhang Tang plays something, he often tosses it until late, and the widow even forgets to eat. Prime Minister Li Cai sat on the side, just like an ornament. Under Zhang Tang's leadership, the imperial court issued a decree prohibiting private iron casting and boiling salt, increasing personal income tax, and encouraging everyone to actively report and expose each other. As a result, the people were miserable, and the people rioted one after another, and those Confucian scholars hated Zhang Tang in their hearts, and it was the widow who protected him. The Xiongnu asked for peace with the Han Dynasty. At the court meeting, Dr. Di Shan opposed the use of military force and advocated peace. The widow asked Zhang Tang, and Zhang Tang said, "This stupid scholar doesn't understand anything. Di Shan retorted: "Even if I am stupid, I am also stupid and loyal, unlike you, who are loyal on the surface, but in fact have evil intentions." The widow was very unhappy, so he sent Di Shan to guard the fortress on the border to prevent the Xiongnu from attacking. Who knew that just over a month later, the Huns cut off Di Shan's head. Since then, no one in the civil and military affairs has dared to offend Zhang Tang again. Dasi Nongyan is known for being honest and honest, and he is not in agreement with Zhang Tang. One day, the doorman was discussing that there was something wrong with a certain edict, and Yan Yi didn't make a sound after reading it, but just pursed his lips slightly. Soon, someone denounced Yan Yi on this basis, saying that he slandered the government. The widow handed over the case to Zhang Tang for trial. Zhang Tang reported that "Yan Yi, as an important minister of the imperial court, saw that there was something wrong with the edict, and did not remind the emperor, but slandered in his heart, and the crime should be executed!" Yan Yi died like this. Since then, most of the ministers have flattered Zhang Tang in order to save their lives. Zhang Tang had a doorman named Tian Jia, who was a businessman and had good virtues. When Zhang Tang was still a small official, the two met. Later, Zhang Tang became a big official, Tian Jia was not afraid of the powerful, and often accused Zhang Tang of unkindness and righteousness, and he had the demeanor of a warrior. So within a few years, he really became a warrior! In the imperial history, Li Wen and Zhang Tang were estranged. Zhang Tang had an official named Lu Yuju under him, and when he knew that Zhang Tang wanted to clean up Li Wen, he instigated someone to write to the widow and accuse Li Wen of plotting against him. The widow ordered Zhang Tang to be tried, so Zhang Tang put Li Wen to death. Occasionally, one day, the widow remembered this incident and asked who reported Li Wen? Zhang Tang pretended to be surprised and said, "Probably because people who are familiar with Li Wen have resentment, that's why they denounced him!" "The mausoleum of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was stolen, and Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and Zhang Tang made an appointment to go up to the court together to ask the widow for guilt. Who knew that when the matter came, Zhang Tang did not ask for guilt, and sold Zhuang Qingzhai alone. The widow ordered Zhang Tang to track down Zhuang Qingzhai's responsibility. Zhang Tang wanted to repeat the old trick again, and gave Zhuang Qingzhai a charge of "knowingly conniving". After Zhuang Qingzhai heard about it, he was worried all day long, and he couldn't stop worrying. Lu Yuju was sick, and Zhang Tang personally went to visit him and massaged his feet. Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Tang, and after hearing about this incident, he wrote to the widow and said: "Zhang Tang, as an important minister of the imperial court, pressed the feet of a small official, I suspect that these two people must have an ulterior conspiracy." "The widow handed over the matter to Tingwei Xuan. At that time, Lu Yuju was dead, so Jian Xuan arrested his younger brother for interrogation, and learned from him that Zhang Tang and Lu Yuju conspired to frame Li Wen. Zhu Maichen used to be Zhang Tang's boss, and every time he saw him, Zhang Tang knelt down and bowed. When Zhang Tang was promoted to the imperial doctor, Zhu Maichen went to visit, but Zhang Tang sat on the bed proudly and did not even return the courtesy, and his officials were not polite to Zhu Maichen at all. Zhu Maichen was later promoted to Prime Minister Changshi, but Zhang Tang regarded him and the other two Changshi as low-level officials and deliberately bullied and humiliated them. For this reason, Sanchangshi was resentful and often wanted to put Zhang Tang to death.

The widow watched coldly, and Sanchangshi conspired with Zhuang Qingzhai to send officials to arrest and interrogate the merchant Tian Xin, and then spread rumors everywhere saying: "Every time Zhang Tang asks the emperor for political affairs, the merchant Tian Xin knows in advance, so he makes a fortune and gives a lot to Zhang Tang." After hearing this, the widow questioned Zhang Tang in person. Zhang Tang not only did not apologize, but also showed surprise on his face and said, "It is likely that there is such a thing." So the widow thought that Zhang Tangmian seemed to be loyal, treacherous, and deceived the king in front of him. The widow sent an envoy to take the book and list Zhang Tang's eight major crimes. Zhang Tang denied them one by one, that is, he did not admit his guilt. The widow sent Zhao Yu to severely reprimand Zhang Tang, but when Zhao Yu saw Zhang Tang, not only did he not reprimand, but said with a smile: "Your Excellency is not old and confused? How many people have you tried and executed, and you still don't understand the truth here, do you have to go to court? Zhang Tang was discouraged after hearing this, so he committed suicide. Before he died, Zhang Tang wrote a book, saying that Sanchangshi conspired to frame him. After his death, the confiscated family property was less than 500 gold, and there was no other property except the emperor's reward. After the widow knew about it, he arrested Sanchangshi and executed him, and arrested Zhuang Qingzhai and imprisoned him, forcing him to commit suicide. Zhang Tang's brothers and nephews were about to bury him, and his mother said: "Zhang Tang, as an important minister of the imperial court, was actually slandered to death, what is there to bury him!" So he carried Zhang Tang's body in an ox cart and transported it to the cemetery for burial. The burial of his body was just a coffin, and there was no coffin. When the widow heard this, he sighed, "How could such a son be born without such a strong mother!" "It's just that they don't know if they have ever thought about it, if the king wants his ministers to die, how can he not die?

Liu Che felt that he was really old, and many people and many things came back from his memory...... For example, Liu An, the king of Huainan, the uncle of the widow, on the surface, liked to tinker with Confucianism, and by the way, he also liked to tinker with some knowledge such as cultivation and fortune-telling, and also liked to raise some masters at home who only ate idle meals, so he was widely famous, and people often compared him to Meng Weijun during the Warring States period. It's really damning! Early one morning, as soon as Liu An got up hungry, Emperor Wen of Han summoned him to the palace and asked him to write a paper explaining Qu Yuan's "Lisao". At that time, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was eating, and a large table of delicious dishes was placed. Liu An stood at the table next to him, swallowing saliva and writing hard. Emperor Wen of Han had just finished eating, and Liu An's thesis was finished. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty picked his teeth, pouted, and praised Liu An's quick thinking and writing. But the widow estimates that Liu An may be too hungry to write so fast!

He is famous, and there are many strange people under his command, and there are eight old men who want to see Liu An, all of them have white hair and are old. Liu An's housekeeper thought they were too old, and they just didn't report whether they were alive or dead. The old man was very angry and said, "Don't you just think we're old, then let's be younger." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the old man had turned into eight boys who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair and a face as ruddy as a peach blossom. Liu An was extremely deferential to the eight old men, calling them "Eight Princes", and kowtowing when they met, day and night. The eight old men wore silk and satin every day, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and lived for more than two years, and then discussed it in private, and they all felt that if they didn't express it again, they really didn't have the face to live, so they cobbled together a book and asked Liu An to refine the elixir according to the method in the book. Liu An was busy with alchemy, and Bagong was not idle, and kept teaching from the side: "Add more firewood", "Fan harder", "The fire is too strong, beware of baking the elixir!" Liu An was called and drunk by eight old guys like this, and he was so busy every day that he was either smoked to tears, or his eyebrows and beard were burned by the fire. Someone falsely accused Liu An of rebellion, and Liu An secretly called for grievance: I was called and drunk by those eight old guys all day long, and I felt sorry if I didn't make a disgraced face, I was a boiler burner at all, so it was better to rebel!

Although he died, the chicken dog ascended to heaven! It was the widow who sent the cool official Zhang Tang to lead the troops to search the Huaiyang Palace, and found the offensive equipment used for rebellion, as well as the jade seal and gold seal. Liu An knew that his sin was unforgivable, so he committed suicide. It's a pity that a wave took away a lot of people, after Huainan Bajun Wu was claimed to be Wu Zixu, the article was written very well, and then because of the rebellion of Liu An, the king of Huainan, he was implicated. The widow cherishes Wu Shu's literary brilliance and doesn't want to kill him. Zhang Tang said: "Liu An wants to rebel, Wu was once advised for him, and the crime cannot be punished!" So Wu was killed. In fact, Wu was not giving Liu An advice, and once persuaded Liu An not to rebel with the story of "Zixu admonishing King Wu". Zhuang Zhu has a very close relationship with Liu An, and often discusses the disadvantages of the times in private, and Liu An also sent him a lot of money. Later, Liu An's rebellion was revealed, and Zhuang Zhu was also implicated. At first, the widow thought that this was just a small mistake, and the crime was not enough to die, but Zhang Tang insisted on killing, and said: "Zhuang Zhu is the emperor's henchman, but he colludes with the princes who want to rebel behind his back, if he doesn't kill him, it is inevitable that someone will follow suit in the future, it's too dangerous!" As a result, Shosuke was beheaded for public display.

These are all the widow's right-hand man's eagle dogs...... Oh, and there is Storm Victory, who also likes to demonstrate by killing, and his hands are stained with blood. When he arrived in Bohai County, he heard that there was a local sage named Jun Budo, so he sent a messenger to invite him. Jun did not suspect that it was an invitation to win a violent victory, so he put on a costume and went to meet him. The victory opened the door to greet him, and when he saw Jun Budo's appearance from a distance, he couldn't help but be in awe and asked for advice in person. Jun Budo said: "Whoever is a ruler is too strong and easy to break, and too weak and difficult to enforce, but if he can combine strength and softness, and give favors to others, it will be very good." The depth of the violent victory was so, so he changed his course, and sure enough, Bohai County was quickly settled. After returning to the dynasty and resuming his life, the above table recommends Jun Bu undoubtedly as the history of Qingzhou Thorn. Wang He, a native of Jinan, also served as an embroidered messenger and was responsible for suppressing the peasant uprising in Wei County. When he was arrested and interrogated, he often punished only the first culprit, and the rest were not to blame for the past, and many people died as a result. Later, someone impeached Wang He for incompetence, and the court removed him from his official position. Before leaving, he said to his officials: "I have heard that if you save a thousand people, your descendants will be crowned marquis." Now I have saved more than 10,000 people, and the generations to come will prosper from it. "Actually, it's just that the widow wants to accumulate yin virtue!

The widow is also strange, Liu An's crime is unforgivable, but the world doesn't seem to think so, and it is rumored that the elixir has been refined, so the eighth prince persuaded Liu An: "You are in trouble, it's time to get out of the world, we will take you to the fairy world and become an immortal." So Liu An climbed to the high mountain with the eight old men, took the elixir, and then ascended to heaven in the day and went to become immortals. It is rumored that when Liu An was about to become an immortal, he asked the eighth prince: "I am about to ascend to heaven, can I bring a few relatives and friends up and let them see and understand?" Hachiko pondered for a long time and said, "Yes, yes, but don't exceed five people, otherwise you will be overloaded, and be careful of falling from the sky!" "There was a man named Zuo Wu who followed Liu An to the fairy world for a walk, and was sent back. According to him, Liu An had offended the gods, so the Emperor of Heaven was very angry and punished him for sweeping toilets in the sky for three years. As the saying goes, "one day in the sky, a thousand years in the world", wrenching his toes and counting: he has swept the toilet! However, before leaving, the eight old men asked Liu An to collect all the gold, silver and jewelry at home and bury them in a place unknown to outsiders.

The king of Huainan wanted to be the emperor than to become an immortal, and when the widow heard the news, he felt very uncomfortable, so he arrested the person who falsely accused Liu An, beheaded him, and exterminated their nine clans. for the widow wants both. Fangshi Li Shaojun, this person "does not marry a wife, does not have children", does not marry a daughter-in-law, and does not want children, all day long, he only thinks about cultivating the Tao and refining pills, and the world thinks that he is a "master", but he is a warlock. But it also beat Li Shaoweng and Luan Da, two liars! The two are brothers in the same sect, one preaches the power of mana, can call gods and ghosts, and can also summon the souls of the dead to meet the living; The other is a standard beautiful man, who is also tall, but he loves to talk big, and when he runs the train with his mouth full, he won't even blink his eyes. There is also Fang Shigong Sun Qing: It is rumored that this gentleman has seen the gods in Donglai, Shandong, and the immortals are very generous, and they gave him a very thick book of heaven at once, what is the treasure in the book, what is the seal of Zen and the like.

The widow asked with all his heart and soul, although he was deceived repeatedly, he was still obsessed. As a result, those princes and nobles also did the same, and as a result, the entire Chang'an City almost became a world of ghosts and gods. But the widow doesn't care, whether it's sealing Zen or going to sea to seek immortals, the widow also wants to become an immortal, and the widow has this qualification! The widow is even more worried, the crown prince Liu Ju has a gentle and benevolent temperament, he is not like himself at all, how can he support a battered Han Empire?

The widow gradually snubbed their mother and son, hoping that the prince would be ashamed and brave. At that time, the princes were growing day by day, and Empress Wei and the crown prince were inevitably worried. After the widow noticed it, he said to Wei Qing: "The foundation of my dynasty is not yet solid, many things are also grass-made, and the surrounding foreign tribes are constantly invading, if you don't change the old and establish the new, the future generations will have nothing to follow; If you don't go out to fight, the world will not be stable. But if future generations are like me, I am afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of the fall of the Qin Dynasty. The prince has a steady personality and is good enough to take on heavy responsibilities, and I am very relieved. When Empress Wei heard about it, her heart finally fell to the ground, so she took off her jewelry and went to ask the widow for her guilt. The widow can't change the prince, so he wants to beat his subordinates, for example, the widow is too powerful because the prime minister is too powerful, so he is divided into two ministers, because Liu Quyak is the emperor's prince, he named him Peng Hou, instead of Gongsun He as the left prime minister. Liu Quyak is the son of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, that is, the nephew of the widow. Liu Sheng likes to drink, but also very lustful, it is said that there are more than 100 concubines, only the son has more than 120 people, after his death he was called "Jing", later generations also called him Zhongshan Jingwang. Gongsun He is an old courtier, he joined the army when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and served as a servant when he was a widow, becoming a close confidant of the widow. He had attacked the Xiongnu seven times, made great achievements, and was named the Marquis of Nanyao; He and the general Wei Qing are iron buddies, and later married Wei Qing's eldest sister Wei Junru as his wife, so he and the widow are still brothers-in-law. Gongsun He cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the widow and said: "The minister is from a humble background, and he has served in the army for a long time, and he is okay to fight, but I really can't do this job as prime minister!" The widow did not say anything, but ordered the left and right entourage to "help up the prime minister". Gongsun He still refused to do it, kneeling on the ground and dying, but he couldn't get up. The widow flicked his long sleeves, snorted his nose, and turned away. The widow insisted on driving the ducks to the shelves, but there was no choice but to do it. After leaving the palace, Gongsun He said to his entourage: "Today's emperor Shengming, I do the errand of the prime minister, once there is a mistake, I will suffer a disaster!" "The widow just wants him to know how many pounds and taels he has! Whenever the widow went out to cruise, he let the prince come to the court as a prince. When he returned, the prince reported some important rulings to the widows, and the widows would agree, sometimes without even asking. Whenever the prince dissuaded the widow from using swords in the court, the widow was furious, and then said with a smile in private: "I have done all these things for you now, and you will be able to rule the world very comfortably in the future, isn't it good!" ”

After all, the widow is the supreme in the world! But the widow didn't expect that even the old courtier and the widow were not of the same mind! The widow knows that there are many rangers among the people, and one of these five beetles is nothing but a pest in the eyes of the widow. One of them is called Zhu Anshi, this person was born in a big family in Yangling County, he is rough and tough, and often does some illegal and undisciplined things, people call him Yangling Hero, and he has a good relationship with the ranger Guo Jie. Later, Guo Xie was beheaded by the whole family because of his participation in the palace battle, and Zhu Anshi was also wanted by the imperial court. The imperial court wanted Zhu Anshi to arrest him, but unexpectedly, Zhu Anshi relied on his reputation and made a lot of friends who knew his life, and actually ran to Chang'an City. There is a way that it is dark under the lights, and those officials turn a blind eye, Zhu Anshi not only was not arrested, but also lived quite freely. Gongsun He's son, Gongsun Jingsheng, served as a servant, relying on his own backstage to use the military funds of the Northern Army without authorization, and was later denounced and arrested.

In order to save his son, Gongsun He was widowed and willing to make every effort to arrest Zhu Anshi in order to exonerate his son. The widow agreed. After Gongsun He returned, he sternly applied for the official service and arrested him within a time limit. These people all know Zhu Anshi, and now they are under the orders of the prime minister, of course, their own family is important, so they have to arrest him and bring him to the case. Until he was imprisoned, Zhu Anshi was still confused, and he didn't understand how a group of people who called him brothers and sisters yesterday turned their faces in a blink of an eye! After inquiring, he found out what was going on, so he sneered: "The prime minister still wants to harm me, I'm afraid he himself will also be in trouble, right?" Zhu Anshi was in prison, not honest, in prison to sue Gongsun Jingsheng and the widow's daughter Princess Yangshi for adultery, and also buried puppets on the road to curse the widow. The widow was furious when he heard this, and immediately issued an edict to take down Gongsun He and others, and handed them over to Du Zhou, the court lieutenant, for thorough investigation, and Princess Yangshi also sat inside. Du Zhou is ruthless and the best at fabricating accusations. Princess Yangshi usually has a deep sisterhood with Princess Zhuyi, and Princess Zhuyi's mother is Empress Wei. After Wei Qing's death, his eldest son Wei Yan inherited his father's title and became the Marquis of Changping. Later, due to correction, that is, fraudulently claiming the emperor's order, he was deprived of his title and fief. At that time, Wei Yan was only in his teens, so he couldn't avoid some complaints. After Du Zhou heard about it, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, he implicated the princess of Zhuyi and Wei Yan, and it became a capital crime. The result was: Gongsun He's father and son died in prison, Wei Yan was beheaded, and the two princesses committed suicide by edict. Therefore, the widow regrets not falling, the more a ranger like Zhu Anshi, the more he cannot be underestimated, this kind of person is not a pity to die, and the harm is endless! was so angry that he beat his chest, but he couldn't really beat himself to death like this, so he sprinkled his anger on others.

Liu Che sighed, originally as long as the prince was quiet and inactive, the widow would naturally hand over the world to you...... It's a pity Mrs. Hook Yi, and ...... If it wasn't for Jiang Chong, how could this be? I remembered the first time I saw this beautiful man also known as Jiang Qi, who was burly and had excellent conversation. But this person is not very good, and he loves to chew the root of his tongue. He had a close relationship with Liu Dan, the prince of Zhao State, but later because of that foul mouth, Liu Dan became angry and sent officials to arrest him. When he heard the news, he fled in a hurry, ran to Chang'an in one go, changed his name to Jiang Chong, and falsely accused Liu Dan of having a close relationship with his sister and having an affair with his father's concubine. Later, the widow summoned Jiang Chong, because he saw that he was burly and handsome, and he looked at him differently. When asked about current affairs, Jiang Chong also answered fluently. The widow couldn't help but praise and said: "I have long heard that Yan Zhao Duoqi is a warrior, but now it seems that it is really not a lie." Jiang Chong saw that the widow appreciated him very much, so he recommended himself and took the initiative to ask for an envoy to the Huns. The widow asked him how to deal with the Huns? Jiang Chong replied calmly: "How can this be predicted, I have to improvise then." The widow was satisfied, so he appointed him as an envoy to the Huns. It is said that Jiang Chong did a good job on this errand, so the widow appointed him as an embroidered messenger to supervise the words and deeds of nobles and ministers. Jiang Chong played the widow and asked that in the future, if anyone violates the ban on the gallop road dedicated to the widow, the chariots and horses will be confiscated, and the people will be sent to the northern border. The widow agreed. One day, the prince's family drove a carriage on the gallop road, but was caught by Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong did what he did, confiscated the carriages and horses, and arrested the people. When the prince heard the news, he hurriedly sent someone to intercede, begging him not to report the matter to the widow. Who knew that Jiang Chong didn't buy it at all, and went straight to report the widow. The widow was glad and said, "This is how a courtier ought to be!" "But the widow didn't expect that Jiang Chong was too timid and was afraid of the prince's revenge...... The courage is too big, dare to deceive the widow and force the prince to death!

The widow is the supreme man in the world, and now it is time to overturn the case. Isn't Jiang Chong dead? It doesn't matter, exterminate the three tribes; Wasn't Su Wen the first to falsely accuse the prince of rebellion? Well, tie it to the bridge pillar and burn it alive! Of course, the widow is also rewarded for the meritorious, and he is promoted to the prime minister. Che Qianqiu was originally unknown, but because of a sentence to understand the king, he rose to prominence within a few months, and paid homage to the prime minister, not only the Han Dynasty had never had it, but even foreign races were regarded as anecdotes. There happened to be a Han envoy to the Xiongnu, and Hulu Gu Shan Yu asked: "I heard that the Han Dynasty made a person named Che Qianqiu the prime minister, this person has never heard of it, what talent does he have?" The Han envoy replied: "Prime Minister Tian Cheng wrote and said things, and he was very kind of the widow's thoughts, so he moved over. Hulu Gu Yu sneered and said, "It seems that as long as there is a man who goes to the book, he can be the prime minister, whether it is virtuous or not, it doesn't matter?" The Han envoy was speechless for a while, so he went back and told the widow. The widow didn't intend to tell him how to answer, but blamed him for his mishandling and put him in jail! In the end, it was Che Qianqiu who helped him intercede and saved him from prison. The bleakest experience in life is the loss of a child in old age, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. Although the widow killed all the people who participated in the scourge of the prince, he still blamed himself for his recklessness and forced his own son to death! The grief in my heart could not be relieved, so I specially built a thinking palace in Huxian County, and a return meditation platform was also built in the palace. But the prince didn't seem to be willing to forgive the widow's father, so the spirit didn't come to see the widow for a long time......

There was no one in the courtyard except for an old man with a pale beard, looking up at the starry sky and weeping bitterly. After experiencing the witch Gu incident, the widow began to self-reflect, and then found that many cases of great rebellion were mostly related to witch Gu. These witches and priests have been talking about immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and the like all day long, but they have begged God for so many years, and they haven't even seen a fairy hair! As a result, the widow's interest in the immortal theory has plummeted, the last time the widow toured Mount Tai, when he returned to Beijing, he passed by Shilu Mountain, and summoned the ministers here, saying: "Since I ascended the throne, I have done a lot of stupid things, causing the people of the world to suffer and suffer, and now I can't regret it." In the future, everything that harms the people and wastes financial resources will be abolished! Che Qianqiu, who was the great Honglu at the time, took the opportunity to say: "The monks are talking about the gods all day long, and they haven't seen any gods come until now!" It can be seen that these people are pure nonsense, and they should all be driven away. The widow thought so, so he dismissed all the monks who were waiting for the gods to come. In the summer of the first year of Yuanfeng, the widow went out to parade, passing by Mount Tai, and worshiped the ghosts and gods on the eastern slope. In the evening, he took Huo Quai's son Huo Zihou to Mount Tai and did not allow others to accompany him. That night, neither of them returned. The next day, while the officials were waiting in a hurry, the two monarchs and ministers floated down the mountain. Not long after this trip, Huo Zihou suddenly fell ill and died overnight. It is rumored that the widow and Huo Zihou climbed Mount Tai that night to see the Queen Mother of the West, and Huo Zihou did not die of illness, but was dismembered into an immortal. This secret, the widow wants to take it to the Nine Springs!

Sang Hongyang, the commander of Sosu, invited the widow and said: "There are more than 5,000 paddy fields in the east of Luntai County, so you can send troops to Tuntian and build fortresses and pavilions to deter the countries of the Western Regions." But the widow did not have this intention, but issued an edict to repent, roughly saying: In the past, I was confused for a while, gullible in believing people's words, making the people's lives miserable, and now I can't bear to do this anymore! The most urgent task now is to strictly prohibit the officials from being harsh and tyrannical to the people, to abolish the decree of increasing taxes without authorization, and to devote all efforts to farming. As soon as this edict was written, the whole country was boiling, and the people all cheered. The widow also did what he said, and never sent troops to fight around again, even all his previous hobbies were all quit! After all, the widow is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, and the Han people are outstanding and spiritual, and the widows like to fight in the east and the west, and there are many brave people who are not afraid of death to serve the country. Now that they are recuperating and recuperating, they attach importance to agricultural production, and there are many people who assist them to appease the people and persuade them to farm. Even Sang Hongyang, who used to love clever names, also changed his past, and the widow promoted him to the imperial doctor. There was a man named Zhao Guo, who knew how to maintain the fertility of the soil, and was also proficient in rotational tillage techniques and the improvement of agricultural tools, so he promoted him to be the captain of Sosu and taught these skills to the common people.

I think that at the beginning, the imperial court raised the strength of the whole country to fight against the Xiongnu, and Bu Shi donated half of his family property. When the widow heard this, he sent a messenger to ask him, "Do you want to be an official?" "I'm just a sheep herder, and I don't know how to be an official or how to be an official!" "Then you must have a grievance?" "I have no disputes with people in my life, and I am willing to help people, others have difficulties to help, and if there are no difficulties to create difficulties, how can I be wronged!" When the envoy heard this, he was very depressed and said, "If you donate so much money, you should have something to ask the court, right?" Bu Shibi was more depressed than him, and said: "We are now fighting with the Huns, everyone has the money to contribute, and the strength to contribute, is this also wrong?" After thinking about it, the widow felt that this person was simply too good, if everyone was like him, wouldn't it be too easy for him to be a widow, and it wouldn't cost money to do it! So I wanted to promote the divination style. Prime Minister Sun Hong strongly objected, saying: "Bu Shi's approach is too inconsistent with human nature, there won't be any ulterior motives, right?" The widow not only did not reward him, but imprisoned him for several years. The evil king of the Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the widows moved a large number of poor people from the Central Plains to the borderlands, which cost a huge amount of money and the court could not afford it. The rich people scramble to hide their possessions, and only Bu Shi enthusiastically donates money. This time, the widow made up his mind, gave Bu Shi a lot of rewards, and also conferred on him an official position, gave him a knighthood, and announced it to the world. Bu Shi was reluctant to be an official at first, and repeatedly refused, and the widow said: "Aren't you good at herding sheep, then go to Shanglin Yuan to herd sheep for me!" "It's still the same job, Bu Shi agreed, and went to the forest to herd sheep in cloth clothes and straw shoes. After more than a year, Bu Shi put the sheep fat and strong, and the widow was very satisfied with it. Bu Shi said: "Herding sheep is the same as governing the people, in fact, the same principle, grazing according to the season, and those who are naughty will be punished." The widow was very surprised when he heard this, so he asked him to be the county magistrate of the county. LΓΌ Jia of South Vietnam rebelled, and Bu Shi wrote that he was "willing to join the army with his son and go to fight South Vietnam". Of course, the widow didn't let him go, but praised him greatly, and named him the Marquis of Guannei, and issued a money order, so that a person named Yang Ke was responsible for the work of suing him, and encouraged everyone to report and expose each other to expose tax evasion.

Yi Zong thought that this move was a disaster to the people, so he sent officials to arrest the personnel sent by Yang Ke. When the widow heard about it, he put the righteous to death on the charge of disrespecting the will. The widow is more and more respectful of the divination style, and calls on everyone to learn from the divination style. At that time, there were hundreds of princes, big and small, but the enthusiasm for learning was not high, let alone the rich people in those places. The widow was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, after all, the money belonged to others, and the life belonged to others. At that time, there was a sacrificial event of drinking, and all the princes had to offer gold sacrifices to the widows. The widow sent for the inspection of the gold offered by the people, and any gold that was not of sufficient weight or of poor condition was punished as "great disrespect", and as a result, 106 people lost their titles. Dasi Nong Sang Hongyang is very financially capable, and even Sima Qiandu, who has always looked at him unpleasantly, praised him, and he himself is often proud of this, boasting that "the people's taxes have not been increased, but the treasury is very full." "Once I saw the divination, I bragged again. Bu Shi mercilessly reprimanded him, "Regardless of the overall situation, just staring at that little profit!" The widow recruited Bu Shi to replace Shi Qing as the imperial doctor. In his position, seeking his own government, Bu Shi wrote that "the state monopoly of salt and iron is to compete with the people for profit, and it should be abolished". As a result, the widow no longer likes the divination. What a dead book! Later, Mount Tai sealed Zen, and the widow demoted his official because he was not good at writing articles.

Zhenghe five years of widows are determined to innovate, so they issued an edict to change the yuan, and did not deliberately pick any auspicious words, just said that the first year of the restoration of the first month of the auspicious month. In the summer of this year, the widow was in the Ganquan Palace to escape the summer, and one morning he was lying in bed, half-awake and half-asleep, when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside, he immediately put on a piece of clothing, got up and went out to check. I saw two people fighting, one was Kim Il-pan and the other was Mahoro. The widow was about to stop the two of them, when he heard Jin Riyan shouting: "Mahoro rebelled!" When the left and right guards heard this, they wanted to pull out their weapons and go forward to kill, but the widow stopped them, Ma Horo is the eldest brother of Hou Ma Tong, the brothers and Jiang Chong are like-minded, and they have made a lot of efforts in the witch Gu incident, Ma Tong was even made a marquis because of this, and Ma Horo also served as a servant and was able to enter and exit the inner courtyard of the palace. Later, the prince was wronged, the truth was revealed to the world, Jiang Chong's family was beheaded, and the Ma brothers were worried all day long, afraid of being punished. The brothers privately combined with their fourth brother Ma An, anyway, the left and right are dead, so they simply reversed! So it was decided that Ma Holo would infiltrate the palace and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the widow, while Ma Tong and Ma Ancheng would lead troops to meet outside. Jin Riyan has been following the widow all the year round, and found that Mahoro has been sneaky and suspicious in recent days, so he paid more attention. For several days, Mahoro didn't have a chance to start. It just so happened that on this day, Kim Il-pan was not feeling well and was resting in the duty room. Ma Horo was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly went out to inform Ma Tong and Ma Ancheng, asking them to kill the envoy of the guard, and immediately send troops to the army, and he rushed back to Ganquan Palace overnight to assassinate the widow. When Ma Horo arrived at the Ganquan Palace, it was already dawn, so he broke into the palace with a sharp blade. It happened that Jin Riyan's condition improved and he was about to go to the toilet, but he didn't go far and suddenly felt restless, so he turned back and sat at the door of the widow's bedroom. When Ma Luo saw Jin Riyan head-on, he couldn't help but look a little panicked, but he thought that it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he wanted to continue to break into the widow's bedroom. Jin Riyan got up and was about to stop him, but Ma Horo eagerly bumped into Se next to him, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the sharp blade in his arms also fell to the ground. Jin Riyan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed up and hugged Ma Horo from behind, and then the two scuffled together. After all, Ma Horo was weak and timid, and was knocked to the ground by Jin Riyan in a few clicks, and then he was tied up by the guards. Ma Tong and Ma Ancheng waited outside the palace with their soldiers for a long time, but they never saw Ma Heluo arrive, and they were so anxious that they scratched their ears. Coincidentally, at this time, Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji appeared with a large group of people, surrounded them at once, and then read the holy decree in public. Most of the soldiers who were besieged were deceived and obeyed the orders of the Ma brothers, and now they have figured out that they were acting in chaos, and they all surrendered at once. Only Ma Tong and Ma Ancheng were left with two bare-gun commanders, so they had to be captured. The widow sent the three Ma brothers to Tingwei, and the three confessed to their treason, so they were pushed out to see it, and the whole family was also killed.

Liu Che sighed, after all, he was very old, and after experiencing the witch Gu incident, he was already sad enough, and he was so frightened by the rebellion of the three Ma brothers, he felt more and more uneasy. I also know very well that it seems that time is running out! If you don't open your eyes that day, who will succeed you? Thinking about it with his fingers, among the remaining four sons, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, is smart and eloquent, erudite and talented, but unfortunately his mind is not right, and he often does things that violate the law and discipline; Liu Xu is brave and powerful, but unfortunately he doesn't have any brains; Only the youngest son Liu Fuling is stout, smart and clever, and has the style of a widow when he was young, but it is a pity that he is only five or six years old, and his son is young and his mother is strong, which is another troublesome matter. And...... A few years ago, someone said that there is a genius in prison, and since the widow has no ruthlessness, it seems that he has to make plans early...... After all, the puppet is not guilty of his crimes, and the Han Empire still wants Changjun to reign...... Huo Guang, the power is too great!
