Chapter 24 Punishing the Heart
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and other eleven regular attendants were all tortured, with disheveled hair and blood all over their bodies. A group of people lay in various postures in the cell, as if they were breathing in more air than exhaling it.
When they saw Liu Bian appear, they all struggled up, but because of the heavy punishment, no one could get up.
Liu Bian stood outside the prison door, sat down on the chair brought by Xiaohuangmen, looked at the few people expressionlessly and said:
Zhang Rang wanted to kneel down, but he had no strength. He lay on the ground, turned his head with difficulty, stared at Liu Bian and said, "We lost, but Liu Bian, He Jin is the great thief. There is no way to take him. Hehe, do you know the Liang family? Without the help of our Lang Guan, Emperor Huan would have been killed long ago, you have to plan early..."
Pan Yin stood next to Liu Bian, listening to his eccentric words, she felt terrified.
The Liang family is very special, they are also relatives, and they are two generations of generals, the most famous of which is Liang Ji.
He poisoned the nine-year-old Emperor Zhi to death, and changed his brother-in-law, Emperor Huan. His sister was also the empress dowager, and she had been in power for more than 20 years.
Emperor Huan, who had endured humiliation for more than ten years, finally couldn't bear it anymore, joined forces with five officials in the palace, that is, Chang Shilang, found an opportunity, and suddenly sent troops to surround the mansion of General Liang Ji and force him to commit suicide.
"Liu Bian!"
Guo Sheng seemed to shout with all his strength: "If He Jin harms you and establishes the Prince's Association, who in the world can stop it? At that time, he will become the second Huo Guang, the second Wang Mang!"
Huo Guang, Huo Qubing's half-brother, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the second emperor was abolished, and he monopolized power for 20 years.
Wang Mang, the nephew of the Empress Dowager, before usurpation, he was humble and condescending, with unparalleled prestige in the world. In the end, he abolished the emperor and became the emperor on his own!
Zhang Rang, Guo Sheng's words are heartbreaking!
If it is released, there will definitely be an uproar!
Liu Bian remained expressionless, and said calmly, "I thought you would tell me some great secrets."
He reached out and took Pan Yin and handed it over, a thick stack of confessions and an account book.
Zhang Rang and others were severely tortured, shouted a few words, and then seemed to lose their strength, lying on the ground, watching Liu Bian coldly.
They never cared about this little emperor before, but they never thought that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
They regretted it a little. If they had paid more attention at the beginning, they would not have ended up where they are today.
Liu Bian took his time to open the confession first.
Forming cliques for private interests, creating chaos and banning palaces, arbitrarily arbitrating power, plotting rebellion, selling officials and nobles, framing courtiers, killing innocent people... For these crimes, as well as the activities of Zhang Rang and others, Liu Bian swept them away, and finally fell into the complete list of party members. 'superior.
Liu Bian was calm before, but gradually his face sank and his brows were tightened.
Although there were still some names he didn't know, some of the names he recognized cheered him up.
This list is arranged according to official positions. The first row is headed by Sangong, and there are as many as four current and former predecessors!Followed by various generals, chariot general He Miao is on the list, followed by left general, former general, etc., a total of seven people.
The next class, Jiuqing, came and went, as many as 16 people!
As for Jiuqing and other subordinate officials, there are two full pages, and it is estimated that there are more than 70!
Liu Bian knew many of the names here, and even if he didn't know all of them, he could probably guess them from the surnames.
Almost all of them are from famous families and come from noble families!
You must know that ordinary people are not good enough for the Twelve Permanent Attendants. If you can rely on them, your own quality will be lost, and your power will not be low!
Liu Bian's expression was fixed, and he continued to browse.
On the next page, there are mainly local officials, first the state shepherd level, Dong Zhuo is the most prominent, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou and other state shepherds are on the list.
The first rank again is all kinds of generals and generals. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou ranks first, and there are more than ten others.
On the next page, almost all of Zhang Rang and others' nephews, relatives and friends are promoted to rank and dominate one by one.
"Liu Bian, have you finished reading? What can you do? What do you dare to do?" Zhang Rang looked at Liu Bian from his bloodshot hair, and said darkly.
Liu Bian didn't even lift his eyelids, and said calmly, "Most of the people here just gave you gifts, and those who count on you to be promoted are not partisans. I can't fool me about this."
Zhang Rang's eyes were dark, as if he was a little surprised.
Liu Bian continued to look at the following, which were the family wealth records of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others.
Liu Bian still didn't know some characters, so he handed them to Pan Yin expressionlessly and said, "Read."
At such a time, Pan Yin dared not be careless, so he quickly took it, bowed his body, and said in a calm tone: "Yes. Zhang Rang, 800 million in money, 20 in silver, [-] in gold, [-] hectares of fertile land, and [-] hectares of mansions. , shop twenty..."
"Zhao Zhong, 400 million in money, [-] in silver, [-] in gold, [-] hectares of fertile land, [-] mansions, [-] shops..."
"Xia Yun, 300 million yuan, [-] silver, [-] gold, [-] hectares of fertile land, one mansion, eight shops..."
"Guo Sheng, money 100 million, silver [-], gold [-], fertile land [-] mu, mansion [-], shop [-]"
"Song Dian, money 200 million, silver 60, gold 47, fertile land [-] hectares, [-] mansions, [-] shops..."
"Bi Lan, 200 million yuan in money, 400 million in silver, 77 in gold, [-] hectares of fertile land, [-] mansions, [-] shops"
Hearing this, Liu Bian frowned.
Immediately, he silently calculated these numbers in his heart and nodded secretly.
These 11 people are enough for him to eat for a long time.
Listening to Pan Yinnian's numbers, Zhang Rang and the others all looked ferocious, as if they wanted to eat people.
They are eunuchs and basically have no children. What they covet are nothing more than power and money. Now that the power is gone and the money is gone, how can they not hate it!
Zhang Rang stared at Liu Bian, and said in a dark voice: "Liu Bian, we'll wait below and see which one comes first, you or He Jin!"
Liu Bian waited for Pan Yin to finish reading, then got up and said, "I'm not named, how can you call me that? Everyone, give me another blow."
After saying that, he left.
Pan Yin ordered someone to hold these files and follow behind Liu Bian.
He was very nervous and afraid. The words of Zhang Rang and others were words of condemnation, obviously trying to provoke Liu Bian to fight He Jin.
Liu Bian knew what Zhang Rang and the others were thinking, and didn't care at all. He was thinking about how to deal with these files.
The Twelve Permanent Attendants have been favored for many years, so it is unimaginable whether it is the party members they have made friends with or the officials who have bribed them.
This is only a preliminary list. Once arrested and interrogated, there will be party members and party members. Not to mention Luoyang City, there are not many people in the entire Han Dynasty who can escape.
That would cause chaos in the world!
"Come with me."
Liu Bian quickened his pace and went straight to the study in Jingfu Palace.
Pan Yin led two small yellow gates and followed closely.
When he arrived at the study, Liu Bian took the list, picked up a pen, looked at each name, and circled each name with a deliberate expression.
Those surnamed He, those surnamed Dong, those surnamed Liu, and those surnamed Wang were circled one by one, and Liu debated almost never stopped.
After a while, he handed it to Pan Yin again, saying: "Remove all the ones I circled, and make a new copy."
Pan Yin immediately ordered Xiao Huangmen behind him to start copying in batches.
It didn't take long to transcribe it. Liu Bian picked it up, looked at the seriously shrunk list of party members, and checked it again. Finally, his eyes stayed on two unfamiliar and familiar names, mainly surnames.
Hongnong Yang, Runan Yuan.
Yang and Yuan, these two families are four generations and three lords. For several generations, there have been high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and their fame is unrivaled. They are today's big families.
