my brother champion

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was talking with Da Nong Ling Sang Hongyang.

At this moment.

Outside the palace, the eunuch came to report.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Yushi Zhang Tang is asking to see you."

Hearing Zhang Tang's arrival, Emperor Wu of the Han frowned slightly, and said to himself, "I didn't summon Zhang Tang, why did he come? Could it be that the case of Ba Ling has been settled?"

"That's it."

"Sang Hongyang, you go back first!"

Sang Hongyang immediately bowed and nodded, "No!"

After Sang Hongyang worshiped and exited the palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said to the eunuch: "Okay, let Doctor Yushi come in and see me!"

Hearing this, the eunuch immediately brought Zhang Tang in.

After the doctor Yushi enters the palace, he will pay homage to see His Majesty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Zhang Tang and asked, "Zhang Yushi, is the matter of Ba Ling finished?"

Hear this.

Zhang Tang then said: "Return to Your Majesty, the culprit has been caught."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded slightly, and said: "Then punish the person who stole the coins of Baling according to the law!"

"promise."

Zhang Tang cupped his hands and said.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che glanced at Zhang Tang, seeing that he didn't seem to be leaving, he said, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Tang nodded immediately and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to perform a play for you? Please forgive me for your presumptuousness!"

"A play?" Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

And Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, has already performed.

I saw Zhang Tang showing the usual appearance of Prime Minister Zhuang Qingdi, and said: "Chen Zhuang Qingdi has something to report to His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will deal with it."

Hear this.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, felt very strange, shook his head, and asked, "Zhang Yushi, what do you mean?"

"What's the point of acting as the prime minister?"

"Besides, he also said some strange words, which I couldn't understand."

At this time.

The doctor took a step back, pretended to be the third chief minister of the prime minister, and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, my humble minister Zhu Maichen, I have something to report!"

"The official found out that Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, had engaged in bribery with businessmen."

"Every time His Majesty issues a new decree, the businessman always knows about it immediately, and it is the imperial historian Zhang Tang who revealed it."

Done.

Zhang Tang stood aside again and said, "Chen Dynasty, second the proposal."

"Chen Biantong seconded the proposal."

After the performance of the three minions, Zhang Tang, the official censor, said again: "Your Majesty, what the San Chang Shi said is exactly the result of the investigation by the minister Zhuang Qingzhai. I hope that your majesty will punish Zhang Tang!"

After performing this play.

Only then did the censor doctor Zhang Tang return to himself, and said: "Your Majesty, the above is a good show that the old minister wants to show you."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was a little annoyed, and said, "I don't understand what you are doing!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was a little confused about all Zhang Tang's actions.

Even though Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very smart, he didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Tang, the imperial historian.

Coincidentally at this time, an eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai is asking for an audience with the Third Chief History?"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but frowned and started talking to himself.

"It's really weird. How to say him, he came here."

At this moment.

Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, said: "Your Majesty, can I apply for retreat, otherwise, the old minister is afraid that I will be present, so Zhuang Qingzhai dare not sue me."

"what?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was a little confused at the moment.

how!

Is there anyone else who is eager for the other party to sue him?However, at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to understand what Zhang Tang, the former censor, was doing before.

to this end.

He said to Zhang Tang: "Then you step aside first!"

"promise."

After saying that, Zhang Tang, the imperial historian, retreated to a very hidden side of the palace, where no one would pay attention.

At this time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che continued to say to the eunuch: "Let the prime minister and the others come in!"

"promise."

then.

Only then did the prime minister and San Changshi be able to enter the palace and meet His Majesty.

After performing the same ceremony as the monarch and his ministers.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked indifferently at the prime minister and the three elders behind him, and asked, "Prime Minister, why did you rush into the palace to see me today?"

"Again?" Prime Minister Zhuang Qingdi muttered softly, but he didn't take it to heart, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Zhuang Qingdi has something important to report to His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will listen to the old minister's chatter in his busy schedule."

Zhuang Qingzhai was not young either.

after all.

When Marquis Wu Qiang was a royal censor, he was earlier than Zhang Tang.

Later, Zhuang Qingzhai was demoted, and Li Cai became a royal censor. After two years of good performance, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately mentioned the position of prime minister to Li Cai.

The position of Doctor Yushi was vacant and was given to Zhang Tang.

The position of prime minister must be a Marquis with enough military merits to take office?No, this is not accurate during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But one thing is for sure!
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if he wanted to be the prime minister, he must have been a doctor of imperial history before.

It can be said.

Doctor Yushi is the candidate for the prime minister.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhuang Qingzhai's words, as if he felt a little familiar, and asked, "What do you want to say, Prime Minister?"

Hear the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Zhuang Qingzhai immediately gave Zhu Maichen behind him a look.

At this time.

Zhu Maichen immediately took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said was discovered by our three elders. I was just afraid that I would not be able to see your majesty, so I told the prime minister first."

"So Your Majesty."

"Please ask my minister to make a statement."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned, and he still had a good impression of Zhu Maichen.

Why?

Because this guy was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Lao Ji Fuping, ambition of thousands of miles.

Zhu Maichen was over half a hundred years old when he entered the imperial court as an official, and then he was reused by His Majesty. If he hadn't committed some crimes, the current Zhu Maichen should still be in the position of Jiuqing.

simply say.

Zhu Maichen's experience is beneficial to the Han Dynasty's rule among the people.

Coupled with the example of "overwhelming water is hard to recover", Zhu Maichen's reputation has spread far and wide, and His Majesty has heard of it.

note!

Fame here is a compliment, not a derogation.

why?
Because the story of Zhu Maichen was absolutely positive in the Han Dynasty.If he became rich and promoted, and humiliated his wife with a basin of water, this would be a negative image in the Han Dynasty.

How could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty give him a promotion?

Even all the way to the position of Jiuqing?
If this kind of thing Zhu Maichen did is very secretive, then it is not necessary to mention it.But everyone knows what Zhu Maichen did.

Let's talk about it from the story.

Zhu Maichen used to be poor and had no rice at home, so his wife asked him to chop firewood for rice. Did he not go?
He listened to his wife and cut it off.

While chopping firewood, he read at the same time, and was laughed at because of this.

Chop firewood and exchange for rice.

How to understand this process?

It's just that Zhu Maichen is working at home, he's not lazy, and it's not that Liu Bang doesn't care about everything at home and leaves it all to his wife and children.

He did something!

Before Han Gaozu Liu Bang made his fortune, he really didn't do anything. He drank and ate meat every day, and never took a penny from his family.

However, Liu Bang became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, and what he did was praised as the essence of thick black.

Zhu Maichen, who listened to his wife and did things without earning money, became a target of public criticism in later generations?
the most important is!

He listened to his wife and went to cut firewood and grow crops, but his wife was not satisfied.

I can't go on talking, and I still want to "divorce" and marry a carpenter who is more profitable in the carpentry industry.

Zhu Maichen agreed.

His wife ran away with the carpenter.

Then someone said that after the daughter-in-law joined the carpenter, she continued to take care of Zhu Maichen's daily food.This needs to be verified, after all, there is no historical data to record this.

Let's discuss this matter.

What is this phenomenon?
From the perspective of modern people, this is still his daughter-in-law's problem.

If you want to run away with someone, then you should make a clean break with your ex, Zhu Maichen.After you have joined the carpenter, why do you still care about Zhu Maichen's food?
Can't get over your conscience?
But isn't this the same as having the current incumbent and still being inseparable from the ex?
of course!

The thinking of the ancients, it is difficult for modern people to judge what they think.

The issue is.

Later, when Zhu Maichen met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was so successful, why did he come back to take his own humiliation?

If you follow the carpenter, follow the carpenter well!
Then someone said that after Zhu Maichen became famous, he persecuted the carpenter before letting his wife back.

You can check historical data, but there is no record of this point.

There is only the allusion that it is hard to recover after being overwhelmed by water.

Regardless of whether Zhu Maichen was right or wrong, there is one thing to be sure of. Zhu Maichen's irreversible story must have been a positive image in the Han Dynasty.

If it is negative, it will be difficult to pass the test of Xiaolian during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

What does Ju Xiaolian mean?
To put it simply, it is a saying of filial piety, training parents and doing things with integrity.

Integrity, a single orthographic character is enough to illustrate the positive image of the allusion of overwhelmed water at that time.

If the image is not correct.

Then Zhu Maichen was promoted to an officer later.

Of course, you can't care about the way of thinking of the ancients, because the way of thinking of the ancients is different from that of modern people.

Just watch the new "Fengshen" movie.

What was Daji like before?The image of a goblin who is a disaster for the beauty and harms the country and the people!

What now?
The innocent, pure, and unpolluted white lotus represents undying love until death, and can also rebuke the image of men who impose all problems on innocent women.

Not to mention comparing with the ancients.

If this statement was made ten or twenty years ago, it would have been quite explosive.

You can't say that its image doesn't make sense.

He has a point!
What does the demise of a country have to do with a woman?Can Cixi be blamed for the demise of the Qing Dynasty?

This seems really weird.
cough cough.

To put it simply, the above content can prove that Zhu Maichen is still quite popular with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, it was also positive in the Han Dynasty.

and so.

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not angry when he heard Zhu Maichen's words. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let you talk about the things to be played!"

When Zhu Maichen heard what Emperor Wu of the Han said, he immediately said: "I found out that Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, was involved in corruption and bribery with merchants."

"Every time His Majesty issues a new decree, the businessman always knows about it immediately, and it is the imperial historian Zhang Tang who revealed it."

"About that."

"I have already arrested Zhang Tang's former retainer, businessman Tian Xin, which can prove this. Please read, Your Majesty, this is the confession of businessman Tian Xin."

Done.

Zhu Maichen submitted the confession written in the bamboo slips.

The eunuch handed the bamboo slips to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the bamboo slips without any change in expression.

however.

His gaze was on Zhang Tang, the official censor hiding in the corner.

now.

Only then did Emperor Wu of the Han realize that Zhang Tang's strange behavior just now was imitating what they were going to say now.

Don't say they are exactly the same.

At least it's close to ten, this soup has already acted out what Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai wanted to impeach him.

and so.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer had much interest in the content of bamboo slips.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the other two senior officials behind the prime minister.

Emperor Wu of Han said slowly, "Apart from Zhu Maichen, do you two have anything else to say?"

At this time.

Wang Chao and Bian Tong stood up together and said, "Your Majesty, the businessman Tian Xin was reviewed by me and the three long historians, so the three of us agree."

"The minister seconded the proposal, and I hope that His Majesty will arrest Zhang Tang immediately and imprison him in the Imperial Prison."

"My minister agrees!"

After listening to what the other two long historians said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty already understood something in his heart.At this time, he looked at the prime minister and said, "Prime Minister Zhuang, the matter between Zhang Tang and the businessman, so you only listened to the words of the third chief minister and did not actually participate?"

At this time.

Before Zhuang Qingzhai could figure out what was going on, he said, "Your Majesty, the arrest of businessman Tian Xin is an order from the old minister."

"Zhang Tang bribed businessmen, officials and businessmen colluded!"

"This is what His Majesty has always hated the most, and I have to do it!"

Hearing Zhuang Qingzhai's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded and said slowly, "I understand."

heard.

The three chiefs showed joy on their faces.

As the prime minister, Zhuang Qingzhai said even more: "Your Majesty, is this minister ordering the Ting Wei to arrest the imperial historian Zhang Tang?"

Hearing the sound, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai like a fool.

Subsequently.

Shaking his head, he said indifferently: "Arrest? Arrest what? People are here!"

"Zhang Tang, come out!"

"Look, the Prime Minister has caught your handle and impeached you and the businessman for bribery."

Done.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty threw the scroll of bamboo slips down the hall, and Zhang Tang, who was in the corner, also came out, picked up the scrolls, and read them carefully.

The appearance of Zhang Tang.

The prime minister and the three chiefs were shocked.

Chang Shi Dynasty even exclaimed: "Your Majesty, since Zhang Tang is here, please send guards to arrest him!"

heard.

Emperor Wu of Han just snorted softly.

Grab a soup?
Ah!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't think so, he just stared at Zhang Tang and asked, "Zhang Yushi, do you have an explanation for this businessman's confession?"

Zhang Tang bowed and said, "Your Majesty knows that this veteran was born as a swordsman and pen official."

"This so-called confession, in the eyes of the veteran, is nothing more than four words!"

"Beating is a trick!"

As soon as this remark came out, Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and the three senior officials immediately criticized him.

A spitting star attack is indispensable.

Zhang Tang, the doctor of the censor, had a firm grasp of the situation at this moment, and immediately said confidently: "Since we are talking about bribery, there must be money to trade."

"In this case."

"Chen Zhang Tang, please request His Majesty to search your property."

"correct!"

"It's difficult for a senior official like me to judge whether he got money from the property. If there is no comparison, it is too unreasonable. Your Majesty, the old minister suggests that we search the family property together with Zhu Changshi, Wang Changshi, Bian Changshi and Zhuang Chengxiang. Enough."

however.

As soon as this word comes out.

The Prime Minister and the Third Chief Shi hurriedly objected, saying: "Your Majesty, no!"

"This soup is nothing more than trying to get a back. There are different property purchases and different family wealth. How can we generalize."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You can't listen to Zhang Tang's words, he just wants to muddy the water."

In this regard.

Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, was as stable as an old dog in his heart, and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che: "Your Majesty, look, they are in a hurry!" (End of this chapter)
