[Vol. 1] Section 179: The Inside Story of the Turmoil

------------

Zhao Yu's expression was grim, and he imagined Liu Che's expression when he heard the news of Zhang Tang's death and how to deal with it.

Is Zhang Tang damned?

This question suddenly popped out of Zhao Yu's mind and startled Zhao Yu.

He thought of Zhidu, Ning Cheng, Yizong all advocated strict punishment and strict laws, and ruled the people with an iron fist, but they didn't end well, and now Zhang Tang is also dead, what about himself?

"It seems that Zhang Tang and I are both damned people. Death is not necessarily a bad thing. Zhao Yu sighed heavily.

According to the emperor's temper, if Zhang Tang does not die, Zhang Tang's family will definitely suffer.

For Zhang Tang's death, Zhao Yu has mixed feelings, Zhang Tang died, he may be reused, but people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Zhang Tang and his colleagues for decades, although the two are not confidants, but they also cherish each other, like brothers.

"Brother Zhang, I'll do one more thing for you."

Zhao Yu drove directly to the palace gate to ask for a meeting, and Liu Che had been waiting for a long time.

"Has Zhang Tang pleaded guilty to the law?" Liu Che flipped through the folds aimlessly, and Zhao Yu could see at a glance that Liu Che was doing it for him.

"Dr. Zhang has not pleaded guilty and has been punished."

"What?" Liu Che was taken aback, and felt a pain in his heart, but immediately said in the same tone as usual, scolding, "Death is not repentant." We must strictly investigate me, and strictly investigate the party members and family members. ”

"Your Majesty, Dr. Zhang left a few lines of small characters. Please take a look at the emperor. Zhao Yu took out Zhang Tang's masterpiece and presented it.

Liu Che took it, glanced at it, then threw it aside, and motioned for Zhao Yu to retreat.

Zhao Yu felt a deep chill, trembling out of the palace gate, he suddenly realized that the emperor is not inseparable from them, in the long run, Zhang Tang's today is his own tomorrow, or to leave some way back for himself.

Judging from the ending, Zhao Yu's epiphany ensured his life, and he later stopped practicing the strict punishment law, but changed to a lenient life.

Zhang Tang's matter didn't end there.

In fact, Zhang Tang is not wronged when he dies a hundred times, because there are countless unjust souls who have died in his hands, but in this matter that Liu Che suspects, Zhang Tang is indeed wronged.

A Sangong lord who has been in power for more than ten years, after his death, the family property is only 500 gold. At the time of the funeral, the coffin had no coffin, and an ox cart pulled the coffin and buried it hastily.

Of course, the Zhang family is not unable to afford a good coffin, and it is not that it cannot hold a special funeral, Zhang Tang's brothers and nephews all want to hold a big funeral, but Zhang Tang's mother sternly objected, her reason is very straightforward, "Zhang Tang is a minister, but he died because of bad words, what to do with a thick burial!" ”

On the surface, Zhang's mother moved because of extreme dissatisfaction, but in essence, it was because of the simplicity of the Zhang family, and the old lady could be like this.

Liu Che was full of emotion when he heard about this, and he said, "No mother like this can't give birth to such a son." It was only at this time that he understood that what Sanchangshi said was purely framed.

What else is there to say, let's hit the road together!

Zhu Maichen, Bian Tong, Dynasty, Dongshi beheaded. Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai could not escape the involvement and was imprisoned. Zhuang Qingzhai committed suicide in prison.

The time was the second year of Yuan Ding (115 BC), and Liu Che's court was greatly injured in this year.

Two months later, the crown prince Zhao Zhou was the prime minister, and the kind-hearted Shi Qing was appointed as the imperial doctor.

Shi Qing We introduced before, Daddy Shi Fen is known as Wan Shijun, the four brothers are all high-ranking officials in the court, and the whole family is a well-known filial son and grandson, let him be the imperial doctor, it can be seen that Liu Che means that he wants to ease the tension between the court and the central government.

Zhao Zhou's father, Zhao Yiwu, was the prince of Chu King Liu Wu, and was killed because he did not participate in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms from Liu Wu. But it can be seen from his position as the crown prince's concubine that this person has long taken refuge in the prince's faction. Now that he is the prime minister, it is also logical.

Through the turmoil of the past few years, we have to make a simple analysis.

After the Battle of Mobei, Li Guang's death was an accident.

Then the unlucky ones were Li Cai and Li Kang. In less than half a year, Huo Qu died of a violent illness, which was officially called a violent illness, but in fact, there are still doubts. In the same year, Wei Qing's eldest son, Wei Kang, committed the crime of exaggeration, a fifteen-year-old child actually committed the crime of exceedance, and what is even more bizarre is that he committed a capital crime but did not die. Zhang Tang was convicted of belly slander, and the big farmer Ling Yan Yi was punished. The following year, Cao Xiang, the son of Princess Pingyang, died, and the cause of death is unknown. Another year, Zhang Tang and others died.

See, in just three years, so many high-ranking cadres have died unnaturally, and all of them have died in political incidents.

What does this mean?

I thought about it on my toes, and I came to the conclusion that the power struggle has been especially bitter in recent years.

Wouldn't you say it's not nonsense, it's not tragic, can it kill people!

As I said before, we still have to use the logic that whoever benefits is the murderer. Of course, this conclusion cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but it is still quite probable.

So, is there a connection with the deaths of these people, and is there an inside story?

I think there is, please look carefully, is what I think, how do you think I have no right to interfere, because I can't represent you.

First of all, let's clarify the question, who benefits the most from the death of these people?

It will definitely not be Liu Che, because most of these people who died were Liu Che's right-hand men.

Then look at it, Zhang Tang, Zhuang Qingzhai, died at the beginning of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, but it wasn't until two months later that Liu Che appointed a new prime minister and a doctor of the imperial history, isn't the time span a bit long? You must know that the snake can't do without a head, and the country has to rely on these two people to a large extent if it wants to operate, because the emperor is only one, he can't do everything by himself, the country is so big, and he can't get tired and lie down in two months. Therefore, it can be concluded in common sense that during this period of time, various forces in the imperial court were still fighting openly and secretly for these two positions, resulting in Liu Che's delay for two months.

Two months later, the crown prince and the prince Zhao Zhou won. Shi Qing won.

Shi Qing, we don't have to care, because he is a kind person, and the upper position is just a transition and a peacemaker. The mystery is in Zhao Zhou, why is it Zhao Zhou, because judging from Zhao Zhou's ending later, he did not get a good death.

Thinking further, after Li Cai's death, Zhuang Qingzhai succeeded him, pay attention to Zhuang Qingzhai's previous title, Prince Young Master.

Why does Liu Che favor the prince's teachers so much?

The crown prince said that he was the prince, but before he ascended the throne, there was a possibility of going out, and he couldn't count on his father, because Liu Ji must know that his father's penchant for power is so deep, you can't expect him to die early, let alone show impatience to ascend the throne in front of him.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the prince has to rely on the maternal family, because the prince's mother, including the mother's family, also needs to rely on the prince, so the prince and the matrilineal relatives are both blood relations and natural allies.

Who is the mother family of Prince Liu Ju? It's Webster.

As we all know, although the Wei family has power all over the world because of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu, they are from a humble background after all, and at the time when they need to have their ancestors as business cards, this is a very cold and embarrassing thing, because this kind of background will make you lose a lot of supporters. Therefore, after ascending to the throne, many emperors will spare no effort to abandon their humble biological mother and climb to a more noble queen mother, which is also the reason.

After the above analysis, we can conclude that several phase changes have benefited the prince's faction. If these people can survive Liu Che in the phase, then Liu Ju's ascension to the throne in the future will be very smooth, because the prime minister is his own teacher, how can there be a teacher who does not defend the students, even if some powerful people have ideas, he has to weigh them.

Although Liu Ju is young, it is necessary to take precautions, after all, no one knows if he will be alive tomorrow.

Now let's think about it again, Li Cai, Li Kang, Huo Quzhi's death, can it also be suddenly enlightened, the beneficiary is also the Wei family, Huo Qubing could have become a faction of the Wei family, but Liu Che laid out in it, and Huo Qubing was kicked out of the Wei family.

In this way, from the death of Li Guangzhi, we can guess such a game in connection.

The reason why I use guess is also to show that it represents my personal opinion.

After the old Li family became famous, many brothers and nephews were high-powered, and it was not easy to buy, so someone set up a bureau to kill Prime Minister Li Cai. The old Li family had already lost their troops and their influence was greatly reduced, so there was nothing to worry about, but after Li Dare to beat Wei Qing, some people thought of killing two birds with one stone, and leaked the news to Huo Quai, and then encouraged him to kill Li Kang, to encourage Huo Qubing to kill people, in fact, it is very simple, you just need evidence that Li Dare wants to kill Wei Qing.

After Li Dang's death, the prince became a good person, took in the two descendants of the Li family, and bought people's hearts.

Huo Qubing killed Li Kang, but he couldn't get the understanding of the Wei family, and the people behind the scenes instigated Huo Qubing to ask Liu Che to make the third prince king, so that he could use Huo Qubing unknowingly and achieve what he wanted.

When Huo Quzhi finished doing this, with the understanding of Huo by the people behind the scenes, the Wei family was even more indifferent to Huo and isolated him, because geniuses can't stand cynicism. Moreover, presumably Huo Qu's illness has been fighting for many years, and he must have all kinds of injuries and illnesses on his body, so that depression and injuries will be combined with injuries, and then send someone to induce him to commit suicide, even if he can't do it, he can make Huo waste half his life.

Heaven fulfilled the wicked man's wish, Huo Qubing really died, and this result may not have been expected by the people behind the scenes.

Zhuang Qingzhai, who was once the young master of the prince, became the prime minister, and the death of him and Zhang Tang was really unexpected, but the people who benefited in the end were still the prince's faction.

Does Liu Che know about these?

It is impossible to know for sure, but, judging from his various later means, he was aware of it.

Now that Zhao Zhou and Shi Qing are on the throne, it can only be said that it is a temporary balance.

The future is hard to predict.
