Chapter 178: Zhang Tang of the Storm commits suicide
[Vol. 1] Verse 178: Zhang Tang of the Storm commits suicide
------------
Zhuang Qingzhai really regretted being this prime minister, his ass was targeted before he was hot, and what was even more tragic was that the person who targeted him was a well-known flower destroyer, and countless people died in his hands, and in his opinion, this person's ability to deceive loyalty was first-class, and the emperor was stunned.
"Quick, quick, quick, you've got an idea for Benxiang." Zhuang Qingzhai almost yelled at Sanchangshi.
The three long histories looked at each other, and the Prime Minister Zhuang in front of him seemed to be really in a hurry, his demeanor at this time was nervous, and his face was hideous, I am afraid that he had never seen the old official who had been an official for decades. If the paparazzi in Chang'an are developed enough, there will be a topic of topic in the headlines of the roadside club tomorrow, saying: The three long histories of the Zhuang Xiangxiang Night Meeting, slapping the table and angrily denouncing the rarity during the tenure.
Zhuang Qingzhai found the right person for Sanchangshi, Zhu Maichen, Bian Tong, and the dynasty were all angry with Zhang Tang, and Zhu Maichen's friend Zhuang Zhu was killed by Zhang Tang, and this account was still recorded in Zhu Maichen's heart.
Zhang Tang often does the work of the prime minister, but he does not have the hat of the prime minister, he sprinkles this fire on the body of Sanchangshi, and often makes fun of them. Sanchangshi was intimidated by Zhang Yushi's power, and dared not speak out, but he had already scolded in his heart: I think that when we were members of the imperial court, you Zhang Tang was still sweeping the dungeon!
But scolding and scolding, but he didn't dare to take action, everyone knew that Zhang Tang had many henchmen in the court, and he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he still couldn't make a move if he was not completely sure to bring him down.
Now with the support of the prime minister, things are much easier. The three of them all know that Zhuang Qingzhai usually protects himself, but this person is not a vegetarian, and his status as a descendant of a meritorious hero makes him extremely well-connected in the government and the opposition, so for decades, even if he doesn't say a word, he has no merit, and he has been promoted to the rank of official. No matter how popular Zhang Tang is, he is just a small official at the root, no matter how he jumps, can he compare to the three generations of the ancestors of the Zhuang family. There is a good saying, don't look at the joy now, be careful to pull the list in the future.
The three long histories are all from the grassroots, so they naturally don't dare to get along with Zhang Tang, but now with Zhuang Qingzhai joining, the three of them realize that the golden opportunity to bring down Zhang Tang has come.
"Prime Minister, Zhang Tang and the Prime Minister agreed to go to the court together to apologize, but I didn't expect Zhang Tang to rebel, and now he wants to play the etiquette of the Prime Minister's Temple, this is Zhang Tang wants to replace the Prime Minister. The prime minister can rest assured, we have all heard of Zhang Tang's adultery, and we will be able to ensure that the prime minister is safe. โ
Sanchangshi's words made Zhuang Qingzhai's heart fall to the ground, and he signaled you to do whatever you want, but be sure to bring down Zhang Tang for me.
Sanchang Shi came prepared, they already knew that it was not difficult to find evidence of Zhang Tang's crimes, Zhang Tang was a person with strict law enforcement, and there were many people who offended, and it was easy to find a few people who were offended by him to play him, to put it exaggeratedly, he shouted on the street casually, he was going to kill Zhang Tang, and someone rushed out with a kitchen knife.
However, this can't bring down Zhang Tang, the key to bringing down Zhang Tang is the emperor, the emperor is not only smart, but too smart, and it is very difficult to overthrow him. Now it is the world of cool officials, and the emperor is also tired of the severe punishment and strict law, not to mention that Zhang Tang is the same as Gongsun Hong back then, he can cater to the wishes of the emperor, so he is deeply trusted by Liu Che, so let Zhang Tang's enemies jump out and accuse Zhang Tang of not hurting him.
For this kind of stupid method, the three long history has long reached a consensus that it can't be used, and if it is used, it is not his death, but our death.
Sanchang Shi found that Zhang Tang has a problem, in the eyes of others, Zhang Tang's problem is still an advantage, Zhang Tang's strict law enforcement offends a lot of people, but it is still very popular among the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an, which is strange?
In fact, it is not surprising at all, Zhang Tang regards those who are not used to seeing people such as Zhu Maichen and others like grass mustard, but treats people who are not familiar or appreciated very carefully, Zhang Tang does not take the initiative to offend people, if you want to offend, you will offend him, he is polite when he sees people, even if he disagrees with your opinion at first, he will not argue with others, if he wants to argue, then this person can only ask for more blessings.
Zhang Tang doesn't value money, and he uses the extra money to help some needy households, so his reputation is very good.
Zhang Tang made many wealthy businessmen before his career, and he still got very close after his career.
The problem is here, if Zhang Tang is an ordinary official, close to a rich businessman, no one will pay attention to him, but he is now a high-powered minister, and the country's policies are introduced through his hands, if he is still close to these people, then the problem will be big!
Could it be that the inside and the outside should cooperate to embezzle the country's goods?
Sanchangshi arrested Zhang Tang's friend Tomada Shin and tortured him, and finally forced out a great crime that defeated Zhang Tang.
The frightening Zhang Tang was quickly presented to Liu Che's desk, and Liu Che's head buzzed when he saw his trusted minister playing the frightening play again.
What's the matter, a lot of things have been related to Zhang Tang recently, am I really wrong about him?
Not long ago, King Zhao also sent a note, the content of which was that Zhang Tang was a doctor of the imperial history, and his subordinate Lu Yuju was sick, and Zhang Tang actually sharpened his feet for him, and King Zhao thought that they had an extraordinary relationship and might be conspiring.
Liu Che is not stupid, and naturally ignores such a thing, but not long after, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Lu Yuju's younger brother sued Zhang Tang and Lu Yuju again, saying that they conspired to frame Li Wen in the imperial history.
This incident did not wronged Lu Yuju, but wronged Zhang Tang, Li Wen, as the middle of the imperial history, is Zhang Tang's right and left hand, but he is disgusted with Zhang Tang's style, and secretly collects Zhang Tang's accusations and prepares to denounce Zhang Tang, Zhang Tang found out, but did not move him, but Zhang Tang's right-hand man Yu Shi Lu Yuju came forward for Zhang Tang and reported Li Wen, Zhang Tang cleaned up Li Wen under the pretext.
Later, Lu Yuju died of illness, and Lu Yuju's younger brother broke the law and squatted, he hoped that Zhang Tang would save his life for the sake of his brother's face.
But in order not to tell the truth to others, Zhang Tang pretended to be indifferent to Lu Yuju's younger brother's affairs, but in fact he wanted to operate secretly. But he didn't expect that Lu Yuju's younger brother's brain was not bent, he didn't think that the dignified imperial doctor could not bend the law for personal gain at will, and the Zhang Tang he thought of was ungrateful.
Lu Yuju's younger brother became angry and ashamed, and bit Zhang Tang, even with his dead brother, he thought it would be more convincing to move out of his brother. If Lu Yuju has a spirit in the sky, he will be so angry that he will die again.
The complaint fell into the hands of another imperial historian, this Xuan, who had taken over the case of the master father Yan and the king of Huainan, was more fair than Zhang Tang, so he had a disagreement with Zhang Tang.
He hid the whistleblower and investigated it secretly, but it was not played, and the idea of reducing the announcement was that after the verification, it would not be too late to play again.
Liu Che became suspicious, and once asked Zhang Tang about Li Wen, "How did Li Wen cause this?" When Zhang Tang heard this, he thought to himself why the emperor suddenly asked about this, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "It may have been reported by Li Wen's enemy!" โ
Liu Che sighed, and didn't take it to heart.
If it weren't for the denunciation of Sanchangshi, Liu Che would have forgotten about it a long time ago.
But now this twist and turn made him doubt Zhang Tang's character, and in order to confirm his doubts, he summoned Zhang Tang again.
As soon as Zhang Tang came, he said something with a slashing face, which made Zhang Tang stunned, "My plan, the businessmen all know, so as to hoard Juqi, I think someone leaked the news to them." โ
Zhang Tang was a little confused by the second monk, and the emperor was asking or reproaching. He quickly reacted, the emperor was suspicious of him when he asked, if there is, it means that he is not supervised, if not, how to explain the facts. For now, he pretended to be confused, could not admit his guilt, passed away the guilt, and got into his trap
Zhang Tang once again pretended to be surprised, "Someone must have done this!" โ
Liu Che looked at Zhang Tang's demeanor, listened to his words, and suddenly felt a burst of nausea, and scolded in his heart, "I'm still deceiving me, this is my important minister." โ
Zhang Tang didn't dare to look at Liu Che directly, he didn't know, if he saw Liu Che, he would definitely regret what he said just now, at this time, Liu Che's eyes had already revealed a deep chill.
Zhang Tang never went out of the Yang Palace in his heart, and so far, he didn't know that the piece that shocked him was lying upright on Liu Che's imperial case.
When Zhang Tang left the palace, Jian Xuan was heading to Weiyang Palace.
After they met at Simamen, they greeted each other with a fist of courtesy.
Zhang Tang's dejected appearance had already made Jian Xuan guess a few points, he looked back at Zhang Tang's lonely back, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he was smiling. He gritted his teeth and plunged headlong into the palace.
Xuan Xuan put the confession of Lu Yuju's brother and the charges of Zhang Tang that he had collected for many days.
Xuan Xuan only dared to make a final move after learning that the three long histories were shocking Zhang Tang.
Liu Che saw the guilt, patted the dragon case, and was furious, "Sure enough, it is a person who is deceitful and loyal, and someone is here, so he ordered someone to quickly take the charge and reprimand Zhang Tang." โ
Since Zhang Tang went out today, he always felt that his right eyelid jumped, and he was summoned to the past today, and then had an unclear conversation, although the emperor did not express his position on the spot, but with his many years of experience in accompanying the king, the emperor was dissatisfied with him.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, only God knows.
When Zhang Tang returned to the mansion, someone told him the news that Sanchangshi had denounced him, and just when he had a headache about how to fight back against them, the envoy led a group of fierce and vicious armor soldiers to come.
I have the impression that this kind of occasion was only available when he went out to arrest people, but now it is his turn.
It's really feng shui in turn, thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.
The envoy announced Zhang Tang's eight counts, leaving Zhang Tang speechless for a long time in shock.
"The minister doesn't admit it, he doesn't recognize it... Surrender or disobedience," Zhang Tang muttered in his mouth, and he suddenly shouted loudly to face the saint and to confess.
The soldiers stopped him, and the envoys didn't know what to do, so they could only send someone back to the palace to ask Liu Che for advice.
Zhang Tang was waiting for the emperor or the emperor's decree of pardon, but he met his colleague Zhao Yu.
Zhang Tang's scalp was numb for a while, and he knew in his heart that it was over.
Although Zhao Yu has a good relationship with him, this person is a typical cool official, and then again, if he is not a cool official, he can't have a relationship with him. Although Zhao Yu has extraordinary ability, when Zhou Yafu was the prime minister, he was abandoned by Zhou Yafu, the reason is that this person is cold and impersonal. On weekdays, only others visit him, and he never visits people back.
Zhang Tang guessed well, Zhao Yu's first sentence was accusation, "Your Excellency has been an official for many years, but you don't know how to measure," Zhao Yu paused, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Tang's desolation, but he didn't feel a trace of distress, he continued, "Your Excellency has executed countless people, and the emperor brought you to justice today, which means that the charges against you by others have basis." โ
Zhang Tang glanced at Zhao Yu and sighed, but still didn't reply.
"What does the emperor mean..."Zhao Yu poured a glass of light wine for Zhang Tang
Zhang Tang was shocked in his heart, "What does the emperor mean?"
Zhao Yu nodded indifferently, "For today's plan, you can only judge yourself, so why do you have to confront you?" โ
Zhang Tang knelt down to the north, and cried desolately, "The minister has not done an inch, from the sword and pen, His Majesty will not give up, and even the three dukes, now there is no responsibility, and he should write the crime with death, and then frame the minister, the three long history is also." โ
After saying that, he let out a loud shout, pulled out the sword of one of the armor soldiers, and wiped it on his neck, and the blood suddenly soaked on the bluestone floor, which was extremely bluffing.
A โกโก official who had been in power for many years came to a curtain call, and when he left, his eyes were not closed.
Zhao Yu sighed and said in his heart, "Brother Zhang, it's easy to go." โ
Zhao Yu put aside a crying wail and went straight to Weiyang Palace to resume his life.
