Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 30 30. Who Is the Honest Man?
"Wang Liangdi, are you making hot compresses for your mother again?"

After Princess Guantao came to visit her mother in the palace, she saw that Wang Zhi was taking the wet wipes from Queen Dou's eyes.

"The prostitute is here?" Queen Dou heard her daughter coming, and happily asked the maid to help her sit up.

There are two mothers and daughters, and it is inevitable to praise Wang Zhi again, what is virtuous and virtuous, filial piety, respect and humility.

Wang Zhi is naturally humble.Was this the compliment she wanted? "On the Actor's Self-cultivation".

"Mother, I heard that there is an interesting story in court." Princess Guantao often told Empress Dou some things outside the palace, to help Empress Dou pass the boredom.

"That honest man Shen Tujia has punished Deng Tong!" Princess Guantao laughed.

It turned out that Prime Minister Shen Tujia met Emperor Wen, and Deng Tong stood beside Emperor Wen.Shen Tujia saluted and bowed to the emperor, but Deng Tong didn't know how to evade and show no manners!
Pooh!Are you a yellow-headed man who relies on kneeling and licking the emperor, and who is rich and honored, to accept the salute of my founding hero and prime minister together with the emperor? !what! !

Shentujia suppressed his anger, and after reporting the political affairs, he said to Emperor Wen: "If your majesty favors and gets close to your ministers, you can make him rich. As for the court's etiquette, you have to clean it up."

Emperor Wen said: "You don't have to say it, I will warn him in private."

When Shen Tujia returned to the prime minister's mansion, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he sent an official document calling Deng Tong to the prime minister's mansion.And let the official tell him that if Deng Tong refuses to come, he will be killed on the spot.

Deng Tong has self-knowledge and knows that these heroes and gentry have always looked down on him.He was terrified and went into the palace to tell Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen said: "You just go, I will send someone to call you."

Deng Tong had no choice but to come to the prime minister's mansion, took off his hat, and kowtowed to Shen Tujia with bare feet.

Shen Tujia sat down calmly, and reprimanded: "The court of the Han Dynasty is the court of Emperor Gao. You, Deng Tong, are no more than a mere minister. You dare to be so rude just because of the emperor's favor. This is a crime of disrespect. Sentenced to be beheaded. Come! Behead Deng Tong immediately!"

Deng Tong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, until his head bled, but Shen Tujia still did not forgive him.

Emperor Wen sent an envoy to summon Deng Tong with the emperor's letter, and conveyed the words of Emperor Wen's apology to the prime minister: "This man is the minister I teased, please forgive him!"

Deng Tong returned to the palace, cried and said to Emperor Wen: "The prime minister almost killed me!"

Princess Guantao and Queen Dou laughed loudly as they talked.

"This Shentujia is really an honest man!" Empress Dou said, "The imperial court should be well-organized, strictly follow the etiquette, and not exceed the rules. For those who break the etiquette at will because they are favored by the emperor, Shentujia has never They are all regarded as criminals who destroyed the Han Dynasty."

Obviously, Prime Minister Shen Tujia wanted to use such an incident to tell Emperor Wen plainly: Be the emperor well, don't make waves, and engage in those unhealthy trends.Otherwise, he, the prime minister, would be the first to refuse.

What does it mean to kill a chicken for the monkey to see?What does it mean to kill one to make an example to others?This is.

That's right, the honest man Shen Tujia is using this method to protect the Han Empire.

"Is this really the case?" Wang Zhi asked, "Is it possible that Father Emperor and Prime Minister Shentu are acting?"

As soon as the words came out, Wang Zhi felt a little regretful.She has always pretended not to ask about government affairs.

But she absolutely did not believe that a courtier would take the risk of offending the emperor to kill the emperor's favorite jester.With Emperor Wen's method of playing the emperor's power seamlessly, there are articles in it!

"Then what is Shentu Jia's background?" Wang Zhi asked.

"Shen Tujia fought with Emperor Gaozu in the early years. After Yingbu rebellion, he made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion with Gaozu and was promoted to captain. After the emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Cang was the prime minister, and Shentujia was the imperial doctor. Later, because of Zhang Cang's resignation, the prime minister A job is up in the air.”

"The Holy Majesty originally intended to let my younger brother be the Prime Minister, but he suffered from his lack of merit. I was also afraid that the ministers would talk about the Holy Majesty's cronyism, so I resolutely declined."

"The Holy Majesty finally decided to appoint Shentujia and give him the title of Marquis of Gu'an. Shentujia is upright and upright. He never accepts other people's homage when he is at home, and does not use his power to form cliques for personal gain." Empress Dou said.

As a founding hero, Shen Tujia is not outstanding in strict terms of qualifications and abilities.Compared with Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Cao Can and other veterans who were enshrined as marquises and prime ministers, the Han Dynasty was only established as a captain, and this amount is not enough.The first generation of meritorious officials in the court is getting old, and the second generation of meritorious officials does not necessarily respect this weaker first generation of meritorious officials.

The position of prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, is equivalent to the chancellor of Germany, the prime minister of the United Kingdom or the secretary of state of the United States. It requires prestige and even more ability.Although Shen Tujia, who was born in the army, is honest and upright, does he have the ability to govern the country?Skills and knowledge are probably what a person in this position needs.

In this way, Shentujia's position as prime minister was actually given to him by the emperor because he had no other choice.It also means that Shen Tujia's important issues are whether he can convince the public and establish authority when he ascends to the throne of prime minister.

The power of the emperor is bestowed by God, and the power of ministers is bestowed by the king. Shen Tujia must win the support of the emperor in order to secure the throne of prime minister.

As for Deng Tong's case, it is very likely that Shen Tujia and Emperor Wen sang a double-reed opera together, by beating the emperor's favorite courtiers to gain prestige, and killing monkeys for chickens to see.

If you think about it carefully, you can see all kinds of clues.

For example, Emperor Wen said to Deng Tong: "Just go, I will send someone to call you."

For example, Deng Tong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, but Shen Tujia still did not forgive him.If you don't forgive me, you just pull it out and behead it!

Net scare!Let people kowtow until their heads are bleeding, and they can't find Bei!This Deng Tong is an honest man!

The prime minister just sent Deng Tong to the mansion, how did the emperor know that Shen Tujia wanted to kill Deng Tong?He also sent envoys to rescue Deng Tong.It must be that Emperor Wen and Shen Tujia communicated with each other.

It is even possible that the emperor's envoy is hiding in Shentu Jiaxiang's mansion, watching Huohou appear!

Where is the honest man Deng Tong?The jester is just a guy who has no foundation and is happy to accompany the leader.This kind of guy doesn't need dignity, but he is recognized by everyone as the emperor's favorite, so Shentu Jialiwei is very suitable.

On the contrary, if some ministers in the court think highly of themselves, if they lose face because of Shen Tujia's actions like this, they will probably go underground in shame, which will not be conducive to the follow-up work.

Princess Guantao looked at Wang Yan who hesitated to speak, "Wang Liangdi, what do you have to say, say it!"

Wang Zhi hurriedly waved his hands: "People in the inner palace don't understand political affairs, just listen and laugh."

Princess Guantao told Empress Dou as a joke, can she break it apart and tell them about it?

Empress Dou was originally a thoughtful person.In front of her, Wang Zhi has always been a filial and obedient little girl who respects her husband and loves her son, how can she let her see into her heart?
It was Emperor Wen who made Wang Zhi obedient.Shen Tujia and Deng Tong were played by him in the palm of his hand.

As a founding hero, Shen Tujia's prestige was enough to shock the second generation of meritorious service. His upright and honest character was promoted by him and became his golden signature.

The one surnamed Chen, the one surnamed Cao, and the one surnamed Zhou, even though Prime Minister Shentu is not as accomplished as your father, he is from your uncle's generation!
Keep your tail between your legs and be careful!Your Uncle Shentu is very tough, with a strong head, even my favorite Meng Lang was almost snapped by him!

So, who is honest?
　Thanks to all the big guys who supported and accompanied us!Thank you all for voting!It will be on the Qingyun list next week.
