Yang Chuan naturally won't be as hard-headed as Huo Quai, and he will get out of the way when he hears the emperor say 'get out'?

That's impossible......

He followed the example of other ministers, and 'moved forward' quite jerkyly, and bowed to Liu Che first, and then said: "Your Majesty, what Cao Xiang said about completely solving the matter of sons-in-law, prisoners, and stateless savages is purely useless. ”

Liu Che snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Yang Chuan had no choice but to continue to talk to himself: "Because, the last time Princess Nangong returned to the Han Dynasty, His Majesty granted amnesty to the world and promoted all the men in the world to knighthood, this is one of them; Second, at the beginning, His Majesty's will was to make the Prime Minister's Office responsible for naturalizing all stateless savages as military households. ”

"But."

"His Majesty's will was transmitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was on official business, and someone gave one or two instructions at will, and sent them to various counties and counties; Then, there is no then. ”

"Because, His Majesty's will is one or two instructions in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when it comes to the counties and counties, it is also one or two instructions, up and down, the same, it is simply regarded as a good prescription for governing the world."

"The problem is, since there is a recipe for governing the world, someone has to give the medicine and decoction."

"It's like Weichen opened a small restaurant in Chang'an City, the store is decorated, and the procedures for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Da Nong Ling, Chang'an County and other places have also been completed; The guests took a look at it, and the restaurant looked good, clean, tidy and high-grade. ”

"So, the store is there, the customers are there, and the big guy orders according to the menu."

"Well, here's the problem."

"There is nothing lacking in our restaurant, just a cook, a few guys to help the cook, the most important thing is that there is only one menu in our restaurant, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, meat, vegetables, poultry and eggs, there is no ......."

As Yang Chuan spoke, he peeked at Liu Che, who was high above, and found that Liu Che's face gradually became flat, and in his eyes, the irritability and anger gradually disappeared, and he had a plan in his heart.

My judgment is basically accurate.

Liu Che was not concerned about such bad things as Pingyang Marquis Cao Xiangfeng beating Zhu Maichen, the Taishou of Shuofang County, but some other major events, such as the war against Hungary, which was obviously the top military matter at the moment, and it was what the emperor wanted to do the most.

Another example is the issue of unity of power.

Since Emperor Gao Liu Bang led a group of hooligans to overthrow the Tyrannical Qin, in order to show that the Han he established was better than the Tyrant Qin, and that he was more benevolent and forgiving than the Tyrant Qin, the Emperor Gaozu listened to the advice of Xiao He, Zhang Zifang and other founding fathers and a large group of scholars, and set the "basic national policy" of 'ruling the world with benevolence and filial piety'; from then on, how to seize power from the hands of the courtiers has become the obsession of the old Liu family.

It is no wonder that Emperor Gaozu was in a hurry to seize power.

It is not wrong to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, but what is wrong is that there were too many fierce people in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, such as Zhang Zifang and Chen Ping, and Han Xin, the king of Chu, Peng Yue, the king of Liang, Yingbu, the king of Huainan, Zang Di, the king of Yan, Han Wangxin, Lu Xuan, and so on, and so on.

These guys, one accidentally started to make trouble, maybe the Han family will be gone.

Therefore, the emperor of the Han Empire, fundamentally speaking, is an enemy with the civil and military ministers of the government and the opposition......

"So, Yang Chuan, what do you want to say about all this nonsense?"

Without waiting for Liu Che and the other old thieves in the court to speak, Cao Xiang, the Marquis of Pingyang, who was good at praising him, sneered, and lost no time in asking a rhetorical question: "You mean to say that the emperor of our Han Dynasty is a good emperor, but the problem is that the officials below are ineffective, and if they make a stumbling block for the emperor, they deliberately prevent our Han country from becoming rich and strong, ruling the world, thousands of generations, blessings for eternity, and sweeping the ...... of the universe."

Once this product is spoken, there are a lot of useful and useless nonsense, and there is also a bit of literary brilliance, and when you hear it, you know that it was once a straw bag.

However, when this guy's words came out, the lethality was very sufficient, and it attracted the angry eyes of many old thieves in the court.

Yang Chuan ignored Cao Xiang's nonsense, but arched his hand at Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Weichen said so much nonsense is nothing more than to prove that what Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang said is also nonsense. ”

Liu Che said expressionlessly: "So what? ”

Yang Chuan said: "Therefore, since Zhu Maichen sued Cao Xiang and Weichen, it should be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for strict investigation and strict handling, for the criminals, absolutely not accommodating, not tolerated, the Han law, what is emphasized is a justice, fairness, openness, the so-called prince broke the law and the same crime as the common people, we several court officials committed crimes, but also should set an example, completely and unconditionally accept the review of the Tingwei Mansion and the trial of the law." ”

"So."

Yang Chuan's words paused for two or three breaths, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has another suggestion, in order to reflect the strictness of my Han law, this time the trial of Zhu Maichen's false accusation against Cao Xiang and Yang Chuan should be tried by the Tingwei Mansion, and be just, fair, and open, so that the people of Chang'an City can listen to it, and it can be regarded as the law of the Han Dynasty ......for me."

Liu Che nodded suddenly: "That's right." ”

Yang Chuan opened his mouth for a while, and then said, "Weichen's words are not finished yet." ”

Liu Che waved his hand a little tiredly, and said casually: "Spread my will, and order the Imperial Commander's Mansion to be responsible for hearing this case and retreat from the court......"

……

A farce above the court, under Liu Che's noncommittal, hastily came to a curtain call.

At the same time, a big drama that caused a sensation in Chang'an City was finally staged as scheduled.

The reason why Yang Chuan did this was that he followed Zhang Tang's suggestion and resolved a major incident of 'beating an official of the imperial court' that could be big or small with uncontrollable consequences into a 'civil dispute case' of fighting between officials.

I have to say that Zhang Tang's familiarity with the laws of the Han Dynasty is already a bit proficient, and he will resolve Cao Xiang's crisis with an understatement, and he will also drag everyone involved in this matter into the mud pit with his backhand, and no one will want to climb up first.

Yang Chuan, who figured out this section, quickly made a decision: "Benhou wants to sue Gongsun Hong!" ”

A group of civil and military ministers walked out of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, and on a square paved with blue bricks, after a simple greeting and politeness, everyone walked to their own carriages.

Unexpectedly.

At this moment, Yang Chuan walked quickly in front of Du Zhou, and after bowing his hand, he shouted loudly: "Serving the imperial history, this marquis wants to sue Prime Minister Sun Hong, and he also participated in the case of Zhu Maichen's false accusation against the Marquis of Pingyang and the Marquis of Changning!" ”

"Who is that, Lord Du Zhoudu, why don't you arrest people?"

As soon as he shouted in these two voices, all the ministers couldn't help but stop, and they all looked over here, and their faces were very strange.

This Marquis of Changning is too unparticular, right?

In this public, it is simply ...... to openly sue the prime minister of the current dynasty It's so enjoyable!

"Yes, Marquis Changning has completely broken with the Gongsun family."

"It's not the Gongsun family, it's the Gongsun Hong family, and the Gongsun family in this world is not the Gongsun Hong family, you know, this Changning Hou Yang Chuan, Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, and another Gongsun family are still relatives."

"You're talking about Gongsun He, right?"

"Yes, Gongsun He is the brother-in-law of the great general Wei Qing, isn't he a relative? It has nothing to do with Gongsun Hong, okay......"

Listening to the whispers and discussions of the ministers, and feeling the strange eyes of everyone, Gongsun Hong seemed to have heard it, walking with upright and even steps, and walking towards his carriage with fluttering sleeves.

Shi Duzhou, who was blocked by Yang Chuan, only felt that his head was big for a while.

The big man glanced at Yang Chuan, and then at Gongsun Hong, who was about to board the carriage, and there was a slight hesitation on his thin and cold face.

This one is the Marquis of Changning, an upstart in the Han Dynasty, even if he talks nonsense with the emperor in the court for a long time, he will be fine; The other is Prime Minister Sun Hong......

These two people, he seems to be a little untouchable?

Just when this thing was hesitating, Yang Chuan pointed at Gongsun Hong's back from afar, and sneered: "Gongsun Hong, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, don't you know that you should have a little awe for the Han law?" ”

"You're pretty good, bullshit!"

"Gongsun Hong, if you dare to ignore the strict law and leave on your own today, Benhou will let you not be able to eat!"

Gongsun Hong didn't even look back, with a faint smile on his face, he nodded to a few colleagues, and boarded the carriage straight.

Seeing the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion driving away, the ministers who ate melons felt bored, chatted and laughed casually, and soon dispersed.

In the open space of the square, there were only Yang Chuan, Cao Xiang, and Du Zhouren...... Well, there's also a Zhu Maichen who was carried on a stretcher.

"The case will be handed over to your Tingwei Mansion for investigation, Du Zhou, you are the imperial historian, you have the final say in this matter."

Cao Xiang walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Du Zhou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured that you can investigate the case, don't worry about it, shrink your hands and feet, the law of the Han Dynasty, there should always be a minimum of dignity and decency, how can you allow those bad cowards to trample on it?" ”

"Ben Hou hates the kind of arrogant, unscrupulous, and powerful goods, and in the future, if you meet him once, you will beat him once!"

The servant Shi Du Zhou stretched out his hand and silently wiped the spit off his face with the sleeve of his robe.

In Chang'an City, people like Cao Xiang are stupid, rich, and thigh-thick, and there are many less evils, like Zhang Lian, Wei Ling, and Fan Li, who are a group of scourges.

However, it is rare to say that someone as shameless as Cao Xiang is.

Today, there are two in front of him.

"Marquis Changning, Marquis Pingyang, since this is the case, then I will take matters into account," Du Zhou arched his hand at Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang, "Let's go back to the Tingwei Mansion?" ”

Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang nodded: "It should be so." ”

So, the group took a few carriages and soon came to the Tingwei Mansion, and in Du Zhou's meaning, these people should live in the kind of single-room cell with a separate courtyard; As a result, Yang Chuan stubbornly believed that since he wanted to be strictly investigated, he should be a little strict.

Therefore, several of them were imprisoned in the dungeon of the Tingwei Mansion.

For this place, Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang are no strangers, the last time they were here, they played 'big dog fighting' with Dongfang Shuo, so that Dongfang Shuo's bad old man won a lot of money.

"Changning Hou, do you want to change a single room for a few of you?"

Du Zhou sent a few people in, and watched Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang come to the cell where they lived before, and couldn't help frowning and said, "A few of you are just fighting and fighting, but it's not enough to live in the dungeon of Tingwei's Mansion......"

In other words, the crime is too light?

Yang Chuan glanced at Zhu Maichen on the stretcher, then at Cao Xiang, and said with a smile: "Since it's nothing serious, you might as well live in a room." ”

He leaned down and stared at Zhu Maichen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, with a smile: "Everyone is a minister in the same court, it is normal to have a little misunderstanding and friction, in fact, there is no need to be so popular; However, some people were unwilling to settle the matter, and they also sued Benhou to the emperor. ”

"Then, take a good trial and ask."

"What do you think, Zhu Taishou?"

Zhu Maichen tried to open the two thin slits, and glared at Yang Chuan angrily: "Marquis Changning, Cao Xiang connived at evil slaves to commit murder and hurt people, and I, Zhu Maichen, can still figure it out, because he is already a gentleman and evil, and he is used to being domineering in Chang'an City." ”

"But Marquis Changning, you know the reason, but you can't help but send elite cavalry to take me down, and you pretend to be ......tortured in the Taishou Mansion."

As he spoke, Zhu Maichen's mood fluctuated again.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.

thinks that he is dignified and sophobic, but before he took office, he was severely tortured by his predecessor Taishou for more than two hours; The most hateful thing is that the thief Yang Chuan disregarded his identity and had to duel with him after the interrogation.

As a result, he couldn't beat the thief......

"Zhu Maichen, what kind of eyes do you have? It's quite scary," Yang Chuan's face was pleasant, and he comforted him gently: "If you come, you will be safe, aren't you scholars talking about the way of forgiveness?" ”

"Okay, how about you forgive Ben Hou one or two?"

Zhu Maichen twisted his neck, looking like he really didn't want to see Yang Chuan's face.

Yang Chuan didn't care, he straightened his waist, looked around, and casually ordered: "Who is that, Du Zhou, your Tingwei Mansion is too poor and sour, right?" Look at this dungeon, it's dirty and smelly, hurry up and let people sprinkle and clean it, Ben Hou wants to fight dogs with this Zhu Taishou. ”

Du Zhoutie's face was blue, and he turned around to leave, but he saw Dachangmen Cui Jiu standing silently two or three feet opposite him.

"Oh Nagato." Du Zhou hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Cui Jiu's old thief waved his hand, his eyes staring at Yang Chuan: "The Marquis of Changning wants to fight dogs, why don't you pick a good place and come to this Tingwei Mansion dungeon every time, how unlucky?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed, moving his muscles and bones vigorously: "It's just a dungeon, what's unlucky?" Uncle Cui Jiu, do you remember that when I lived in this place for a month, didn't I get promoted and make a fortune? ”

"Therefore, whether a place is auspicious or unlucky, the key is to see who lives in it."

Old God Cui Jiu looked at Yang Chuan for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "Yang Chuan, the emperor asked you, why do you want to discredit yourself and hide in this dungeon at this critical moment?" ”

Yang Chuan pushed Zhu Maichen off the stretcher, and he himself sat on the cushion of the stretcher, humming comfortably: "The last time I was a big dog fighter, Ben Hou lost more than 300 acres of water to Dongfang Shuo, and he still owed Cao Xiang a lot of debts, and I was very angry when I thought about it. ”

"Come on, come on, let's play a few laps first."

He took out a deck of 'playing cards' from his arms and looked up at Cui Jiu: "Uncle Cui Jiu, do you want to come along?" ”

Cui Jiu shook his head and said coldly: "The emperor asked why you want to hide, and would rather go to prison than be a teacher for the crown prince Liu Ju." ”

Yang Chuan thought about it sideways, and asked with a blank expression, "Why am I hiding?" To be a teacher for the prince, isn't that the business of Dong Zhongshu, Ji Di and other big scholars, how can it be my turn Yang Chuan? ”

"Uncle Cui Jiu, sprinkle and sweep this room, let's come to the dog fighting family together?"

Cui Jiu shook his head, and said with a rare warm words: "Yang Chuan, don't play petty with the emperor, I know, you have only been working hard to run Shuofang County for a year, and you have just improved a little, but the emperor stuffed you with a Zhu Maichen, you are not convinced......"

Yang Chuan smiled: "Serve, serve!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to Zhu Maichen's side, grabbed the scholar's hair bun with his hand, and punched the goods in the eye sockets, and muttered while beating: "Accept it or not?" Convinced or not! ”

Zhu Maichen was furious: "Yang Chuan, why did you beat me again?" ”

"I'm going to ...... I, I want! ”

'I want' several times, but finally didn't dare to say what to do, which made several people present laugh secretly in their hearts; this unlucky guy, in order not to follow in the footsteps of Sang Hongyang, would rather break a leg by himself than dare to help Liu Che scrape the ground to make money, and now it is in the hands of Yang Chuan, but he has been beaten one after another, and there is no place to tell the grievances in his stomach.

He could see it clearly.

Emperor Liu Che didn't pay attention to him, the so-called 'favored minister', but was tolerant of Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang, young people who were misbehaving.

The reason for this is not because he did not scrape the land properly and make money and grain, and missed the emperor's major affairs......

Once he figured out the joints, Zhu Maichen was terrified, and when he 'brushed' it, he broke out in a cold sweat, and the whole person was not good.

It turned out that the emperor knew his little thoughts, but he didn't say it, but threw himself out of Chang'an City casually; As a result, by coincidence, he fell into Shuofang County, which was run by Yang Chuan.

The emperor's mind is nothing more than this.

Zhu Maichen suddenly stopped being angry.

This product is also a character, many seemingly coincidental things are connected, and after the deduction and calculation become transparent, the whole person became quiet, and he said very calmly: "Marquis Changning, I, Zhu Maichen, am to blame, if you want to beat or scold, just come." ”

"It's best not to be slapped in the face, though."

Yang Chuan was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Cui Jiu.

Cui Jiu also frowned slightly, and looked at Zhu Maichen meaningfully; This scholar, who used to be handsome, quick-witted, and eloquent, is now bullied by Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang in turn, and has long lost his former grace, with a disheveled hair, a blue nose and a swollen face......

……

That night, Liu Che in Weiyang Palace set up a family banquet and summoned Wei Qing, Princess Pingyang, and Princess Nangong into the palace to enjoy optimistic dancing, drinking and eating meat, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious and harmonious.

Liu Che's interest was very high, and he drank a lot of wine.

He still couldn't stop persuading him to drink: "Brother-in-law, come, let's drink this wine together!" ”

Wei Qing picked up a bowl of wine and said respectfully: "Weichen is no longer strong enough to drink, and he will get drunk if he drinks it again." ”

Liu Che laughed: "Yang Chuan has a good saying, people in this world, inventing this mellow wine is just to get drunk." ”

"It's rare to be confused when you're drunk."

Wei Qing smiled bitterly: "Weichen's wine is not very good, he is drunk, he is easy to be confused, the last time he was drunk and whipped a soldier, after waking up the next day, he only felt afraid for a while, since then, Weichen swore in his heart that he must not let himself get drunk." ”

Liu Che also laughed a few times, his eyes were hazy, and he looked at Wei Qing's big black face with one eye open and one eye closed: "Brother-in-law, it's just a soldier, what are you afraid of?" ”

Wei Qing got up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a person who leads troops, so he must be strict in order and strict in military law, only in this way can he bring out a big Han iron army that can fight tough battles." ”

"At the same time, for the sake of being a commander and a general, we must also treat the generals and soldiers well, treat them as our own brothers and children, and let go of some small mistakes, so as to put an end to some big mistakes......"

Listening to Wei Qingxu babbling for a long time, Liu Che couldn't help but yawn, and scolded with a smile: "Brother-in-law, are you using the matter of governing the army to give me advice?" ”

Wei Qing said seriously: "No, Weichen is just seeking truth from facts. ”

"The saying of seeking truth from facts is very good," Liu Che put down the wine bowl, rubbed his forehead and eyebrows vigorously, and sighed: "In this court, if everyone is like you Wei Qing, and everything is realistic, there is no need for me to act in front of the ministers and juniors." ”

"That's it, the matter of Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang is over, let them come out and work hard."

"As soon as spring begins next year, my 200,000 troops will march north and sweep through Mobei, and now it is early winter, but we are still entangled in some bad things, which is simply disgusting."

Liu Che stood up, pointed to the northern land, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I, swear to destroy the Huns!" ”
