The splendid Weiyang Palace is located at the end of the official road in Chang'an, shining in the sunshine, looking like a palace in the sky from all sides, people can't help but sigh that this palace should only be in the sky, now this is the center of the Han Dynasty, every decision here will affect the fate and future of the world, Liu Che who is now sitting in the Weiyang Palace is definitely different from the emperors, he has gradually possessed the ability to mobilize the huge machine of the Han Dynasty, he wants to reign over the world, to establish a strong Han is a lifelong dream, every edict under the decree also began to be carefully considered, at this time, a confessor shouted"Report to the emperor, Shuo Fang is urgent." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As soon as Liu Che heard the news that it was Shuo Fang, he would eagerly say, "Take it to me." ”

Liu Che unfolded the emergency report, read it word by word many times, and knew what had happened in Shuofang recently, so he put it in a few cases and paced and thought: "More than 3,000 soldiers died, is it wrong for Shuofang to build a city?" Liu Che walked a few steps in succession and then said with firm faith, "No, by no means, the Huns racked their brains to prevent my Han from building a city, it can be seen that they have grasped the lifeblood of the Huns, this city must be built as soon as possible, let them die to stop my Han from building a city." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Che said to the people around him, "Immediately announce that the three princes and nine kings will come to discuss the matter." ”

"No. ”

The confessor turned around and was about to leave, Liu Che continued: "In addition, let Sang Hongyang come to participate." ”

"No. ”

About an hour, all the court officials finally arrived, and after everyone shouted long live, Liu Che got straight to the point and said: "Shuofang is urgent, everyone take a look." After speaking, he handed the urgent report sent by Shuo Fang to Prime Minister Xue Ze, Imperial Doctor Gongsun Hong and others.

After everyone circulated it, Liu Che asked, "What do you think, let's talk about it." ”

Gongsun Hong couldn't help it a little, so he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is something wrong with Shuofang to build a city, and if it continues like this, countless soldiers will die because of this, so it can be seen that the master father of the original proposal should be killed." ”

Liu Che immediately objected: "This is a bad word, Gongsun Aiqing, I digress, it is my will to build Shuo Fangcheng, and it has nothing to do with the master father Yan Aiqing." It can be seen that Liu Che still protects his master's father.

Gongsun Hong's face instantly became extremely unnatural and said: "No, the minister knows his mistake." ”

Liu Che continued: "If there is anything else to say, just say it." ”

Prime Minister Xue Ze said: "A lot of money and labor have been spent on the construction of the city, and now there are casualties among the soldiers, these things need to be made up with reserve money and personnel, please consider Your Majesty." ”

"This makes sense, I still know it, if I can solve these problems alone, what is the use of ordering you to come over, for now I want you to express your opinions, come up with ideas to solve the current crisis. ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of recruiting people for the construction of the city can still follow the previous method, and issue an edict to the world, and those who are willing to go will be rewarded, but now the treasury is a bit expensive, so please ask Your Majesty to have a budget. ”

Liu Che thought for a long time and said: "Okay, what the prime minister said is good, just follow your method to recruit people, the construction of the city cannot be delayed for a moment, as for the matter of money, I have my own way." ”

"No. ”

Liu Che continued: "You guys retreat and go according to the plan, Sang Hongyang stays." ”

"No. ”

Gongsun Hong walked out of the hall in particular frustration and said to Prime Minister Xue Ze: "Prime Minister, this war and city building are really a matter of labor and money, but unfortunately I don't understand, how can this lord father Yan have any virtue to make the emperor believe so much, this bad idea of building a city was provoked by the master father." ”

Xue Ze said disapprerovingly: "The emperor should have his own idea, it seems that he wants to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the border pass, but how can the stubborn disease of the Han Dynasty for decades be so easy to remove." When the treasury has money, it will be done, and if there is no money, it will only be consumed, so wait. ”

"Yes, let him judge the emperor's affairs, but I think that the people who have brought disaster to the country and the people like the master father Yan must not stay, and there have been many feudal countries who have sent people to reflect, and they are afraid that they will be persecuted by the master father Yan and finally abolished like the Qi State and the Yan State. ”

"Hahaha, these are also related to the restlessness of some feudal countries, otherwise how could they be so easily broken by the master father, hey, who can say all the grievances clearly. Xue Ze said in a state of mud, obviously talking to Gongsun Hong on the same channel.

Gongsun Hong simply said: "Prime Minister, if the master father does not fall, my Gongsun Hong will unload his armor and return to the field to raise his life, and he must get rid of this black sheep and say goodbye." ”

"This stubborn old man, hehe. Xue Ze looked at Gongsun Hong's distant back and smiled, and then said to himself, "The conscription has been recruited." ”

Sang Hongyang and Liu Che were left alone in the Qingliang Palace, Liu Che sat on his knees and sat in the middle and said, "Aiqing will sit nearby." ”

"I don't dare. ”

"Now it's just you and me, you don't have to be formal. ”

"No. ”

Sang Hongyang bent his knees and did next to Liu Che, Liu Che said: "Aiqing also heard it just now, the treasury is in a hurry, you and Dongguo Xianyang and Kong only saw it, and I am very pleased to analyze the current Han form, but the grand plan has to become a reality step by step, in the face of the current form, I don't know what Aiqing has to do with immediate results?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the money used to build the city at the border pass is nothing more than to raise food, and the personnel who can go to the border pass can go to the border pass according to the usual practice to build the city while opening up the wasteland and tuntian, and the sergeants at the border pass can also make full use of it, a small part of them are on guard, participate in the war during the war, and the tuntian is not in wartime, and the grain produced in a few seasons can be used to support the personnel of Shuofang, so that Your Majesty will reduce most of the pressure on Your Majesty to raise money and food,"

"Well, good idea, so that the treasury can still hold on for a while, Aiqing wrote some detailed plans and submitted them, and I will immediately implement them according to the edict issued by him. Those who are willing to go to the border to cultivate the fields can also be exempted from punishment, forced labor, and slave status if they are entangled on the road and distributed farming tools such as land and seeds. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will go and write. Sang Hongyang stood up and turned back.

A knowing smile appeared on the corner of Liu Che's mouth, as if he had found a good way to realize his dream, and everything was under his control.

Night slowly fell, and Gongsun Hong was sitting in his mansion and was asking a servant: "Do you have any eyebrows if I asked you to investigate the crimes of the master father?"

"Master, we learned from one of the departing guests of the master father that the master father Yan accepted a large amount of bribes from the vassal states and ministers, and it has reached a point where you and I can't imagine, but because the small one has no law enforcement power, if we can arrest these people and interrogate them, we will know that this is a list of some bribe-givers, please take a look at it. ”

Gongsun Hong took the list and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "You can't live if you do your own evil, the master father is mixed up, this time he must let his head fall to the ground." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, Gongsun Hong entered the palace to face the saint, and Liu Che said: "This stubborn old man has something urgent to see me so early, let him come in." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Gongsun Hongzu shouted loudly before he could enter the door.

"Come on, Gongsun Aiqing can't wait until the early dynasty if there is something urgent, he has to be in a hurry to see me. ”

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the lord father Yan took advantage of His Majesty's favor to him and bent the law for bribes, accepting bribes from the feudal country and ministers, and the people below are extremely angry, please make a decision on Your Majesty. ”

"Oh, I'm sure I didn't mean to make it up. ”

"If the minister is fabricated, he is willing to take the head of the pledge. After Gongsun Hong finished speaking, his back was cold, thinking that this is a good idea, I hope my people investigate correctly, otherwise everyone will be bet on the emperor.

"What's the clue then?"

"Your Majesty, this is a partial list of bribe-givers, please take a look at it. ”

Liu Che took it and looked at it for a while, and shouted loudly: "What a bold master father, if this matter is true, it seems that he doesn't want to live anymore." Liu Che thought for a moment and whispered to Gongsun Hong, "Don't make a noise about this in advance, I will definitely give you an explanation." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Come on, come on, get ready to go to the morning court. ”

"No. ”

After the morning court in order, Liu Che left Tingwei Zhang Tang and said: "This morning, someone reported that the master father of the middle doctor had accepted bribes from the country, you can seriously check it for me." ”

Zhang Tang knew that the master father Yan was a popular person in Liu Che's eyes, and he couldn't figure out Liu Che's intentions for a while, so he continued to ask: "Doctor Zhong has any clues about accepting bribes, what is Your Majesty's holy will on this matter?"

"The master father Yan has made great contributions to the reform of the Han Dynasty, and also put forward a rare good law for the strength of the Han Dynasty, and he is a talent that I can trust more often, but no one can be proud of his merits, lawlessness, and if it is verified, he will be punished according to the law. ”

"No, the minister understands. Zhang Tang got the order and walked out of Weiyang Palace with the clues given by Liu Che.

Zhang Tang is a good person, he is a famous cool official, he does his best to punish and punish the law, and he will do everything into three points, but he will also guess the emperor's meaning, this time he got the news to verify the facts, so he went back and immediately started to arrest all the people on the clue list into the Tingwei Mansion, this place is not good to get in or out, some people have not used torture, so they said the matter of bribing the master father, Zhang Tang recorded the details of the interrogation one by one, and finally counted the master father Yan bribery data is amazing, Zhang Tang is also a character who gets to the bottom of the matter, and within a few days he arrested the people who bribed the master father Yan and investigated the bottom of the day, he took the results of this investigation to visit Liu Che.

Liu Che saw the results of Zhang Tang's interrogation and asked softly: "These data can be confirmed through investigation, whether they are true." ”

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are doing it themselves, there are physical and human evidence, and they dare not make false reports. ”

"Oh, this master father has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, and he dares to be so greedy and pervert the law, and use my trust in him to collect money, he is really impatient. ”

"Your Majesty, such a serious crime should immediately confiscate the family property, arrest the master father, and ask Your Majesty to decree. ”

"Confiscate the property of the master's father as soon as possible, and arrest the master's father," Liu Che said here and asked softly, "How should the crime of the master's father be punished according to the law?"

"Your Majesty, the sin of extermination. ”

"Alas, a rare talent, it's a pity, Aiqing searched his family property overnight, and the day after tomorrow the court held a court discussion, look at the trends of the government and the opposition, and kill less people if you can. ”

"No, the minister understands, and will do it immediately. ”

The master father was still asleep when he was awakened by the noise outside the house gate, and when he opened the door, he saw that the fire was soaring, and several of his wives were crying in the courtyard, and the officers and soldiers in the courtyard were full of them, and the master father reprimanded loudly: "Who dares to do anything wrong in the middle of the night, can you know whose mansion this is?"

At this time, Zhang Tang walked out from the ranks of the officers and soldiers and said: "Doctor Zhong, I'm sorry, I will accept the emperor's will and raid your mansion, if you don't understand anything, please tell the emperor tomorrow morning." ”

"But there is a holy decree. ”

"Of course there is," Zhang Tang took out the board and read, "raid the mansion of the master father and forbid everyone in the master father Yan family to move around freely......

The master father couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and Zhang Tang continued: "Doctor Zhong, what is the specific reason, maybe you know better than me, the emperor treats you well, and you are going to participate in the early court debate tomorrow, please prepare." ”

The master father was stunned at the door, Zhang Tang listed the list of confiscations one by one, there were countless gold and silver treasures, some of which were of immeasurable value, although Zhang Tang had already been mentally prepared, and he was also stunned when he saw these items.

In the early morning, Liu Che asked loudly: "Master Father, you are guilty." ”

The master father hurriedly knelt on the ground and trembled: "The minister's sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sin deserves ten thousand deaths." ”

"What's your sin?

"You really shouldn't be greedy for those ill-gotten gains," the master father said this, and wept bitterly, "The minister is poor before the age of forty, and the minister should not be like this, and the minister has disgraced His Majesty." ”

Liu Che also sighed lightly and said, "How should you deal with the master father?" At this time, Liu Che understood in his heart that if the crime was punished according to the law, it would not be enough for the master father to annihilate the nine clans, but if the master father had a good relationship with the people in the court, and someone was willing to speak for him, Liu Che could be a favor that pushed the boat along the river, confiscated the property, and left the master father with his life.

But at this moment, Gongsun Hong spoke first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the lord father has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the crime is extremely evil, and the crime should be punished according to the law and the law of the country should be corrected." ”

Xue Ze also took out the report board of Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, and said: "King Zhao said that other vassal states gave gifts to the lord father Yan for self-protection, and the king of Zhao couldn't stand it, but in order to prevent the Liu family from being destroyed in the hands of a villain like the lord father Yan, he specially wrote to report the crime of the lord father Yan, and asked His Majesty to punish the crime according to the law." "Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu is Liu Che's half-brother, and he has also reported the matter of the master father many times, Liu Che doesn't think so, but at this juncture, Xue Ze is really adding fuel to the fire when he talks about this.

"I report ......" "I report ......"

Then the officials below all reported that the master father was soliciting and accepting bribes, which made Liu Che dizzy for a while, thinking that this master father had provoked the anger of the public, and it seemed that it would be difficult for me to protect him, so he looked at Zhang Tang and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you see how the master father should be sentenced according to the law." ”

"Your Majesty, according to the law, the nine clans should be punished. ”

Liu Che thought to himself, okay, Zhang Tang didn't understand my meaning at all, but how could Zhang Tang not understand, but seeing that the whole dynasty hated the master father Yan, and he didn't dare to commit public anger, he only reported it truthfully, Liu Che thought for a long time and said: "In view of the fact that the master father Yan has offered a lot of good strategies for the Han Dynasty, there is no need to punish the nine clans, it is enough to kill him alone." ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, the law will be ineffective, please think twice. Zhang Tang said.

"Your Majesty, please think again. The ministers said in unison.

Liu Che suddenly felt so embarrassed, thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it's enough to punish the three clans, don't talk about it anymore, you have to keep the whole corpse and retreat from the dynasty." ”

When the master father heard the resolution, he immediately fainted on the main hall, and was dragged out of the main hall by the golden armor warrior, Liu Che also closed his eyes and expressed regret, thinking that the master father Yan should not blame me, who let you mix among the courtiers The popularity is so poor, it is not so much that the master father died under the law, but that everyone is afraid that they don't know when the master father Yan will point the finger at themselves and get the same fate as King Yan of Qi.

The master father Yan finally left the political stage with the tragic fate of the three clans, but there is never a shortage of legends on this stage, and the excitement will continue to be staged, and the cycle will continue to be repeated.
