Chapter 324: Soft Rice and Hard Food?
In Chang'an City, it became a pot of porridge.
After many years, the magnates and officials of the Han Empire once again felt the brutality and ruthlessness of the former queen Chen Ajiao, but they were still pinched to death, and they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Chen Ajiao is extremely smart, she knows that her current identity is special, so she simply gave full play to the advantages of her 'predecessor', so that Wei Zifu, who lives in Changle Palace, has a hard time, and she doesn't dare to say a word.
'fabricated' thirteen major sins for Sang Hongyang, and came to an extremely ingenious 'touch porcelain', and directly sent Sang Hongyang to the dungeon of Tingwei's Mansion.
Immediately afterwards, she spent ten full days to find the homes of Zhuang Qingzhai, Shi Qing, Bu Shi, Er Kuan and others, and found various reasons and excuses to concoct a group of civil and military ministers to death, and almost wiped their necks with knives.
So much so, even if he was as noble as Erkuan, he had to ask in a low voice, only to know that it was his concubine who followed Liu Ling to make trouble and smashed Yang Chuan's family's rouge gouache shop in Chang'an City.
These big dogs, whether they are scholars or not, are really a bunch of ruthless people.
Once they knew what was going on, without saying a word, these people carried knives to kill their own troublesome concubine first, and they thought that they could calm Chen Ajiao's anger.
As a result, it backfired.
Chen Ajiao heard that those people killed their concubines in a fit of anger, and she became more and more angry, thinking that these men were too bad things, their upbringing in their own family was not good, and something big and bad happened, and they didn't think about how to make up for their mistakes, but instead slaughtered their own women to ask for forgiveness.
In the eyes of Chen Ajiao, who is angry, this is no longer a question of right and wrong, right and wrong.
Rather, it is the difference between man and beast.
So, she simply ripped off her skin and sued Liu Ling, Gongsun Hong, Sang Hongyang, Zhuang Qingzhai, Shi Qing, Bu Shi, Er Kuan and others with a piece of official paper.
Moreover, every article, every piece, the evidence is conclusive, and I don't even bother to fabricate it, after all, the identity of the eldest daughter of the former queen and the eldest princess, and wanting to check the old background of an official, is simply too pediatric, and it doesn't take much effort at all, so I sit down.
Among these charges are corruption, bribery, murder, embezzlement of land and property, messing around during the state funeral, colluding with the harem to defile the dynasty, and almost casually take out one of them...... Even Prime Minister Sun Hong was a little unbearable.
Chang'an County is numb.
Jing Zhao Yin is numb.
Tingwei's mansion was numb.
Because, Chen Ajiao really went crazy this time, and she didn't care about the tacit understanding between the big dogs, and tore off everyone's fig leaf.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is her sobriety, every time she does something, she will strictly abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty, which is to sue one level at a time, and finally, the official document was sent to Weiyang Palace and placed on Liu Che's desk.
As for Emperor Liu Che.
Well, that day, he heard that Chen Ajiao had returned to Chang'an City, so he took Dachangmen Cui Jiu out of the palace like a smoke, saying that he was going to Shanglinyuan to hunt, in fact, as soon as he came out of Chang'an City, he quietly went to the fiefdom of Yang Chuan's family in Zhuyuantou Village, looking for Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang.
So, Chen Ajiao, who couldn't wait for the results for a long time, went crazy again.
In the name of the queen, she made the official documents public; Although this document does not have the queen's seal, it is not a 'queen's edict', but its effect is even more vigorous, which directly makes the officialdom of the Han Empire blow up......
……
"Your mother's temper is quite big, huh?"
"That's, up?"
In Shuofang City, Yang Chuan received a secret letter from Princess Nangong, and he was also a little confused, pinching the letter, and looking at Liu Man, who was pretending to do his homework: "Liu Man, are you hiding it from me, and you have already contacted your mother?" ”
Liu Man was excited, and shouted solemnly: "Is this concubine that kind of person?" ”
Except for Huo Guang who was the latest to get started, he hasn't integrated into the 'circle' much now, so he naturally doesn't dare to express his position easily; Zhiniang, Naren Tuoya, and Zhang Anshi all looked at Liu Man and nodded: "You are." ”
Liu Man opened his mouth for a while, and suddenly became angry: "What do you mean by this? ”
Weaver Niang asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" ”
Liu Man snorted and was silent.
Yang Chuan read and looked at the secret letter, lay down on Ma Zazi, and pondered for a long time: "Liu Man, there are some things, you have to tell me, act so recklessly, don't cheat your mother at that time." ”
Chen Ajiao is so noisy, it's cool.
For Yang Chuan, this feeling of soft rice and hard eating is actually not bad.
But what happens after you're done?
Her identity was already very embarrassing, Liu Che didn't say it, but who knows what he thinks in his heart? You must know that the emperor is a creature that is not a human at all in many cases.
Either a god, an emperor, or a ......
"Changning Hou doesn't have to worry, the old man thinks that the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages," At this moment, a burly scholar came in from outside the door, but it was Dong Zhongshu.
The old thief strode over, and he was not polite, he picked up the 'three forts' that Yang Chuan had drunk a few sips of, and drank it dry in a few bites; by the way, he also scooped up the burnt dates, longan, and wolfberries inside, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them all indiscriminately, and swallowed them directly.
Then, he laughed and said: "Where the blessings and misfortunes lie, where the blessings and misfortunes depend, how do you know if you are blessed?" ”
"The position of Empress Chen Ajiao is the emperor's personal seal, and she has never lost her morality, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, and he can't be easily deposed, this is one of them; The current queen Wei Zifu relies on only three things, one is the general Wei Qing, the second is the eldest son Liu Ju, and the third is Huo Quzhi, Cao Xiang and you Yang Chuan and other geniuses and amazing talents. ”
"Therefore, it is not the two queens who are wrong, but the emperor."
"Now, Empress Chen Ajiao is making trouble in Chang'an City, Empress Wei Zifu pretends not to know, and the emperor is deserted and flees, which seems to be incompatible, but in fact, it is just pushing the boat down the river and being happy to see it happen."
Listening to Dong Zhongshu's eloquent talk, Yang Chuan was a little angry for no reason: "Dong Zhongshu, Ben Hou has already said that if you don't allow my permission, you are not allowed to enter my Yang family's back hall, this is one of them." ”
"Second, you are a Confucian scholar, but it is a sentence from Zhuangzi, you say that you are not ashamed?"
Dong Zhongshu laughed and said: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human nature, what Zhuangzi said is right, why should I, Dong Zhongshu, slander others?" Even between the Confucian saints and the Taoist saints, isn't there a beautiful conversation about asking? ”
Yang Chuan was angry for a while, and he couldn't think of anything to refute.
Seeing that Yang Chuan was deflated, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Changning Hou, the old man also just heard that something big happened in Chang'an City, so he rushed to meet you; Why don't you and I work together once? ”
Yang Chuan didn't think about it, and directly said two words: "No." ”
Dong Zhongshu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Changning Hou, the old man just said that it is normal for people to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and you don't even listen to how the old man wants to cooperate with you?" ”
Yang Chuan lay flat on Ma Zazi: "Don't listen." ”
Dong Zhongshu ignored Yang Chuan's indifference, and just said to himself: "The emperor is actually secretly happy about the mess in front of him, the last battle of Monan, the Han army was defeated, the emperor was already holding back a belly of fire, plus most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty accused the emperor of being stubborn and reckless, think about it, can the emperor not be angry?" ”
"Originally, the old man also opposed the emperor's use of troops against the Xiongnu, thinking that fighting a war would cost the people and money, which would make the treasury empty and the people in dire straits......"
"Actually, the old man is just cowardly in his heart."
Yang Chuan asked with some curiosity: "Aren't you Dong Zhongshu quite strong?" Why, there is cowardice? ”
Dong Zhongshu's old face flushed, and he said with a smile: "The so-called heroic spirit of a scholar seems to be upright and elegant, upright and unfolding, but in the face of some real life and death crises, who can do it without changing his face and heartbeat?" ”
"The old man opposed the emperor's use of troops at the beginning, but he overestimated the strength of the Huns, and he was worried that if he didn't fight a good battle, it would be the next siege of Baideng, and it would be just a waste of the country's money and food, and he would bring humiliation on himself, so that the Huns would gain an inch and ask for too much."
"In addition, what the old man is worried about is that once the war is fought for many years, the power of the generals will become greater and greater, and finally, once it gets out of control, it will make the current Han Empire fall apart and fall apart......"
Yang Chuan listened very carefully to Dong Zhongshu's 'heart-digging words', with a rather playful smile on his face.
Dong Zhongshu's words should be from the heart...... Right?
Who knows.
With the mouth of this scholar, it is difficult for Yang Chuan to believe it.
"What do you mean by saying so good for a long time?" Yang Chuan asked suddenly.
Dong Zhongshu coughed lightly and said indifferently: "The old man can help your mother-in-law return to Chang'an City, and she is the same as Wei Zifu as the queen of the Han Dynasty." ”
Yang Chuan was stunned: "One emperor, two queens? ”
Dong Zhongshu nodded, and said with a straight face: "In the past, Emperor Yao had two daughters, one was Emperor E, and one was a female Ying, who were married to King Dashun and were rumored to be the best talk in the world; Today, my Han Emperor is a martial artist, wise and martial, and has two queens, what's wrong? ”
Yang Chuan scolded with a smile: "It's true that Empress E's daughter married King Da Shun together, but according to the classics compiled by your Confucian scholars, Da Shun's parents, brothers and sisters actually don't approve of Empress E's Nuying, and they tried every means to try to kill; In the end, King Dashun went to the south to inspect and died there, and Empress Nuying washed her face with tears all day long, and finally coughed up blood, turning into a bullshit Xiaoxiang Zizhu.
This shows that the rest of the story is very tragic, right? ”
Dong Zhongshu nodded slightly, and said seriously: "Those are wild histories, they can't be taken seriously, as long as the Marquis of Changning agrees to cooperate with the old man, the old man guarantees that within three months, the story of Empress E's daughter Ying marrying King Dashun will become a happy and harmonious ending." ”
"Because, at the end of the story, it was done by the Confucian scholars, that is, to advise the emperors of the world, and the queen can only have one ......"
Why, can you still play like this?
Sure enough, he is very well-read.
Yang Chuan was finally laughed at by the old thief: "Dong Zhongshu, there is a historian under my rule, you are such nonsense and unscrupulous, be careful to be recorded and written in the history books." ”
Dong Zhongshu smiled indifferently and said, "You mean Sima Qian?" ”
"He can't do it, even if the old man's nonsense and even moral corruption are recorded today, in less than three or five hundred years, the old man's disciples and grandchildren will recompile and proofread it and delete those words that are out of place."
"So, Marquis Changning, it is the right thing for you and me to cooperate."
Yang Chuan thought about it sideways, and directly shook his head and refused: "Dong Gong, in the final analysis, I, Yang Chuan, am just a cook, a farmer, and the person who thinks and thinks is just a good meal and a good night's sleep, not a person who does big things." ”
"If you are shy in your pockets and want to borrow a sum of money, even if you open your mouth......
Dong Zhongshu arched his hand: "Okay, deal." ”
Yang Chuan: "......"
After a long time, you old thief came to borrow money?
……
spent three hundred gold to send Dong Zhongshu away, and Yang Chuan was stunned for a while.
Today's Dong Zhongshu is really poor, almost to the point of exhaustion, if it weren't for the Taishou Mansion to allocate some money and food every month, it is estimated that the old thief and his one hundred and ten disciples would have run away from hunger.
However, with Dong Zhongshu's identity and status in the Han Empire, if you want to say that he came here with a blank eye, just to borrow three hundred gold 'food expenses', even if he killed Sang Hongyang, Yang Chuan would not believe it.
Let's just let him jump first.
After a big war, these scholars are finally not so hateful, and Yang Chuan doesn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, he has something to do right now.
"Liu Man, it's best not to get involved in the affairs of Chang'an City in the future," Yang Chuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "I know your thoughts, it is nothing more than to help my Yang family earn a lot of money and grain, buy thousands of hectares of fertile land, and become a wealthy family like Cao Xiang, which is not wrong in itself." ”
"But have you thought about it, since you want me Yang Chuan to become a big dog like Cao Xiang, then why don't you want to marry Cao Xiang? The emperor came forward, but Cao Xiang didn't dare to refuse, right? ”
"So, in the final analysis, the person who can make you happy and fall in love is me Yang Chuan himself, not money and grain, land, servants, mines, titles, power and other things outside my body......"
Yang Chuan opened his heart for a rare time, and said the inappropriateness of half of his stomach in one go, which made Liu Man a little dazed for a while.
"Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, this concubine is wrong," Liu Man sighed, and said quietly: "You are my Liu Man's man, I can only bully you, pinch you, pick you, and never allow others to bully you!" ”
"Whenever I see or hear that you are being bullied, I want to kill someone, I want you to become strong quickly, and in turn bully those who have bullied you."
Yang Chuan stretched out his hand.
Liu Man hurriedly poked his head over, let him rub it a few times, and continued: "Yang Chuan, I'm too stupid, every time I want to help you, but in the end, it becomes a ...... to make trouble for you."
Yang Chuan slapped her lightly on the head, and said gently: "Okay, you have to discuss everything with me in the future, don't be alone and think about it." ”
He stood up, moved his muscles, and walked out.
As he walked, he casually ordered: "In the past few days, don't go out, just read at home, write, and make mutton or something." ”
"Ben Hou will think about it for a while...... quietly"
Hurry up and hurry up, and finally finish this chapter. It's not that the cook is slacking, it's that his left hand is injured, and he is too slow to type with one hand......
