In Chang'an City, the officials of the Han Empire are generally divided into two kinds, one is the officials of the inner court, and the other is the officials of the outer court, which are almost the 'emperor's people' and 'the people of the court'.

Out of the land of the three auxiliaries, they can be called 'magistrates'.

It took Yang Chuan a long time to figure out that in fact, his current 'Shuofang County Taishou' was about the same status as the princes surnamed Liu.

As the supreme administrator of a county, in addition to governing the people, advancing the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting adultery, the county taishou can also recruit, appoint and dismiss his subordinate Peng Shi, and at the same time, there is also a troop transfer tiger charm, which has the right to mobilize the vast majority of county soldiers under his rule.

In a word, he is now a feudal official.

As for the subordinate officials under the rule of the county taishou, there are actually only two or three positions: Cheng, Du Wei, Jian Yushi, and county magistrates, all of which belong to officials.

The vast majority of other people can be called 'officials', which are nothing more than other drivers, master book Gong Cao, Yi Cao, thief Cao Peng, decisive Cao Peng, thief capture Peng, Wuguan Peng, Menxia Peng, Menxia Governor, County Peng sacrificial wine, County literature, County literature history, county literature history, scholar of scriptures, grandmaster, sheren, history, Cong Shi, Zhu Cao history, right Cao Peng history, Taishou Shi Shi, Zhifu history, prison history, prison officials, small history, post supervision, post supervision, post supervision, Du Bian, county Shaofu, Shou subordinate, give things too Shoufu, county Sikong, etc.

Among them, Sima Qian's position of 'supervising the post' is regarded as a light and powerful among the officials, who does everything to convey fatwas, supervise subordinate officials, inspect criminal prisons, and check illegality.

Well, it's almost the head of the 'procuratorate'......

"Sima Qian, you also know the situation in Shuofang County," Yang Chuan lay flat on Ma Zazi and said leisurely: "You are the post supervisor, so report the situation to Ben Hou first." ”

Sima Qian looked at Yang Chuan's appearance of 'villain', held his breath, and only relieved himself for a while, and arched his hand: "Good Sect Chang Ninghou knows that there are 12,338 households under the rule of Shuofang County, with a population of 46,628, and ten counties under its jurisdiction, of which there are five counties of Shuofang, Xiudu, Hudao, Guangmu and Qusou to the east of the river, and five counties of Sanfeng, Yaohun, Linrong, Woye and Linhe to the west of the river. ”

"These ten counties, spanning both sides of the big river, not only have fertile land, but can also build water conservancy to irrigate most of the fertile land anytime and anywhere, which is very suitable for reclamation of barren fields."

"It's just that after several wars, there is not much left of the population under his rule, and when Gongsun Ao was in office, he was not good at strategy, wantonly recruited people, and lost too much people's strength, and the current population of more than 12,000 households is estimated to run away in a year or two......"

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "These basic situations, on the way here, Mr. Dongfang Shuo has already said it.

Sima Qian, Ben Hou only cares about it now, how are the officials of our Shuofang County? ”

Sima Qian sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Originally, there were some people who understood and knew how to pity the people's power, and they also knew some shame, but you Changning Marquis also knew that this official eunuch field is almost the same as those Fengyue Field, it is a big dye vat, even if there are honest people, it is estimated that it will be almost dark after three or five years." ”

Yang Chuan stroked his palms and laughed: "Sima Qian, you are the second person I have ever met. ”

Sima Qian was stunned and asked, "Who is the first person?" ”

"Mr. Dongfang Shuo," Yang Chuan pointed to Dongfang Shuo, who was busy not far away, "See, that skinny monkey-like bad old man is Dongfang Shuo, he reads well, and the two of you can get closer to each other in the future." ”

Sima Qian nodded, sighed again, and said, "I'm a person who understands something, but I just want to say a few more words when I look at some things that don't like my eyes." ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it, say it hard, it's okay; But if you don't say something, you just clamp your mouth tightly and be careful that someone cuts your balls. ”

Sima Qian was laughed at by the success.

He rubbed his red face a few times, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and said, "Say, what do you want me Sima Qian to do?" ”

Before, Yang Chuan said lightly that he would kill some people.

It doesn't seem like empty talk.

"Kill."

Yang Chuan got up slowly, stared at Sima Qian's eyes very seriously, and said indifferently: "Shuofang County under my rule doesn't want any corrupt officials to live; In a word, yes, I want to farm and don't want to raise a group of borers.

Sima Qian, give you an hour to turn the black sheep of Shuofang County ......

No, list the people who are not guilty of death in Shuofang County, and arrest all the rest, and slaughter me if there is no one left. ”

Sima Qian was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and stammered: "Yang Chuan, cough cough, Changning Hou, you can't do this!" ”

Yang Chuan asked indifferently, "Why?" ”

Sima Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some difficulty: "Although Shuofang County is a county that was recently set up by the Han Dynasty, the first batch of officials are all people from some nobles in Chang'an City, and even your mother, Princess Pingyang, is a ......."

Yang Chuan sneered: "Even if it's the emperor's person, as long as you commit a crime, you will cut off your head if you should behead it, and you will cut it off if you should cut it in half, by the way, Sima Qian, I will introduce you to another friend." ”

Sima Qian was still stunned.

This Yang Chuan、It's terrible。

As soon as he took office, he had to go on a killing spree, and if he continued like this, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble......

He opened his mouth to speak, but saw Yang Chuan waving his hand and shouting loudly: "Zhang Tang, come on, come on, introduce you to a person who compiles history books, you two will be closer in the future, lest you write your old boy as a big man and a cool official, hahaha." ”

A tall and thin man in linen quietly appeared, his hands in his sleeves, and two deep nasolabial folds could almost kill two cockroaches, but it was Shi Zhang Tang.

This time, Liu Che specially appointed him to serve as Yang Chuan's subordinate official and the imperial governor of Shuofang County, with a rank ratio of 1,500 stones, which was considered an opportunity to be promoted to a knighthood.

"Come on, come on, you get to know each other, this is Zhang Tang, a big man and a cool official."

"This is Sima Qian, who compiles history books."

Yang Chuan smiled, made a brief introduction to Zhang Tang and Sima Qian, and said leisurely: "Ben Hou is just a farmer and a cook, and he doesn't know how to be an official, so the emperor sent a few people who can be officials to help."

The matter of the administration of Shuofang County will be handed over to the two of you.

Ben Hou only needs one result, that is, kill all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and leave no black sheep, as for who to promote as an official, go back and make a list of Sima Qian, I will talk about it according to the situation. ”

After speaking, he got up and walked loosely to the shed where Liu Man, Zhiniang, and Naren Tuoya were located, and sat on the embroidered couch: "Who is that, Uncle Tangyi, when will the banquet be held?" ”

Tangyi's father strode over, and said angrily: "Childe, if you have more incense, you can start the banquet." ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "Then let all the officials come in, eat together, and let Zhang Tang and Sima Qian kill some by the way." ”

Sima Qian, who was standing not far away, turned dark, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zhang Tang walked over and asked coldly, "Kill them all?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "After eating later, you can go and take office to handle the case, Ben Hou's opinion is to implement one to kill one, implement eight to kill eight, no matter who is involved, as long as a capital crime is committed, no one will be left."

However, this is just my personal idea, how to deal with those bad cowardices, you Zhang Tang will deal with it in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty, and don't give any truth and handle to the people of Chang'an City. ”

Zhang Tang nodded, and then stopped talking......

……

Gongsun Ao died.

The death was extremely tragic, the whole person was swollen, feverish, and liarous, and after seven or eight days of suffering, he finally quickly decayed, and died weakly.

This arrogant and domineering co-rider was secretly shot with two arrows, and the arrow wound was not in the vital part, and the partial wound was ulcerated, red and swollen, and the high fever did not go away, and he finally died.

No one knew that the two arrowheads prepared for him were actually mixed with some lead and mercury, and a little unclean was wiped on them......

At the same time, other people in the Heqi Hou Mansion also had accidents.

First of all, his eldest son and second son, both died in a private house by the water, and it is said that because of a fight between a beautiful little woman, the two brothers stabbed each other and died against a wall.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of wives and concubines, subordinates, and servants of Gongsun Ao were infected with an indescribable 'evil disease', with bruised teeth, bulging eyes, and dark blue purple spots......

In less than three or five days, more than 300 people from the Heqi Hou Mansion were almost dying.

After Liu Che heard about this, he sent an imperial doctor over and tossed for two or three days, but finally returned to the palace helplessly.

Da Nagato Cui Jiu is here.

He carefully examined the two arrow wounds on Gongsun Ao's body, was silent for a long time, and wandered around the Heqi Marquis Mansion for two or three hours, and finally had a clue-

The embroidered messenger searched out a large number of 'little straw men' of all kinds in the bedrooms, gardens, ponds, stables and other places on Gongsun Ao's mansion, and each little straw man was pierced with something......

After Cui Jiu returned to the palace, he only said one sentence to Liu Che: "Witch Gu." ”

So, the emperor was furious.

A shocking case of strict investigation of the 'witch curse' kicked off, and the embroidered messengers of the Tingwei Mansion poured out, and with the cooperation of the Chang'an Mansion, it only took three days to arrest seven or eight hundred people.

Among them, some 'witch masters' raised by nobles were sent to the dungeon of the Tingweifu and tortured, and finally some people couldn't stand the torture and began to bite others.

Of course, to talk about climbing, it's not very accurate.

Because, at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Violent Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the 'witchcraft technique' has always been very popular, especially in the palace and wealthy families, it has always been a means of Yin people, almost like worshipping the ancestors in the family temple.

Those witch masters also seem to be diverse, either they are from the Dao Sect, or they disguise themselves as hidden masters, anyway, how to be tall.

In Yang Chuan's words, all the gods in the world have a characteristic, that is, everyone who is special looks very cultured, but they have no humanity......

In a word.

Died of a co-riding Hou Gongsun Ao, many powerful families in Chang'an City, and even the emperor's relatives poured blood mold, and the embroidered messenger easily searched out a large number of different shapes of 'little straw man', 'rag doll', 'ceramic man', 'little clay man'.

Even, in the mansion of a certain uncle, more than a dozen 'little gold figures' made of gold were dug up, and after the judgment of Cui Jiu, the big Changmen Cui Jiu, these little gold figures that were pierced with holes actually corresponded to Liu Che of Weiyang Palace, the princes, Wei Zifu of Changle Palace, Princess Pingyang, Princess Nangong, Hou Weiqing of Changping, etc......

This time, the joke finally got bigger.

Liu Che gave an order, and all those involved in the 'witch curse' were cut down and abandoned in the city, and several families were wiped out, and the matter finally calmed down.

In view of the 'witch curse', several princes and kings surnamed Liu were involved, and the emperor was furious, so he wanted to send troops to levy it, and finally gave up under the 'bitter advice' of the prime minister Sun Hong, the big farmer Ling Sang Hongyang, the servant Shi Erkuan, and the prince and the prince and the prince Ji Di's important ministers of the court.

Thereupon.

The long-rumored 'Tui En Order' was naturally announced to the world: the princes were ordered to split the land with private favors and divide their children, and the Han Dynasty was a custom title, and it belonged to Han County.

Liu Che issued this 'Tui En Edict' of the world, stipulating that after the death of the princes and kings, in addition to the eldest son inheriting the throne, the other sons could also divide part of the kingdom's land and become liehous, which were ruled by the county guards.

The world was in turmoil.

Of course, it is not the chaos against Liu Che, but the chaos between the eldest sons and concubines of the princes surnamed Liu, and the brothers cannibalize each other, and there will be damage......

……

When the news reached Shuofang County, thousands of miles away, Yang Chuan was dumbfounded.

He thought about it for a while before he reacted: "Gongsun Ao died of the witch curse?" Some princes and kings surnamed Liu were involved in the scourge of witchcraft, and finally angered the emperor, so they simply issued a decree of tui'en? ”

"Then, between the eldest sons and concubines of those vassal states, they began to fight against each other?"

To tell the truth, Yang Chuan actually wanted to kill Gongsun Ao's family, revenge for himself on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted not to leave any troubles for himself.

As for the scourge of witches and the order of grace......

He hadn't even thought about it!

It can only be said that Liu Che is worthy of being the most suitable emperor to be the emperor, just playing this hand of 'making something out of nothing' and 'pushing the boat along the river' made Yang Chuan feel shocked.

Ruthless, after all, it's still Liu Che.

Looking at Yang Chuan, who was stunned, Zhang Tang said expressionlessly: "It's a pity that the person who likes to engage in witchcraft the most has not been brought to justice. ”

Yang Chuan lay down directly, and asked casually with some weakness: "Who?" ”

Zhang Tang said: "The former queen, Chen Ajiao. ”

Yang Chuan, who had just been lying flat, sat up and scolded angrily: "Zhang Tang, let you investigate those black sheep in Shuofang County, is there any result?"

Those bad things in Chang'an City, can you ask about them? ”

This soup is really.

According to historical records, it was not because of the investigation of the 'witch case' of the queen Chen Ajiao that he was able to rise to prominence, and he was promoted to become the imperial historian of the Han Empire, ranking in the ninth secretary, and at the same time, he also buried the disaster of killing himself......

Yang Chuan suddenly realized that because of his little butterfly.

The historical trajectory of the Han Empire seems to have undergone an untraceable deviation?
