Chapter 14 3. The growth history of the best villain

In the long road of life, some people always encounter some hurdles that cannot be crossed.In Liu Ju's life, the most wronged thing was that he couldn't cross the poisonous hurdle of witchcraft, and the person who set up that hurdle that he couldn't bypass was none other than a villain of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong, courtesy name Ciqian, was born in Handan, Zhao State.Jiang Chong's original name was not Chong, but Qi.When Jiang Chong was still called Jiang Qi, he was the guest of Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu. Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that people like Liu Pengzu were not kind.His insidiousness, cunning, and harshness are known to all the nobles in Chang'an, so the central officials are very afraid of offending this sinister man.The so-called things flock together and people are divided into groups. Jiang Qi can become Liu Pengzu's guest without a few drops of bad water in his stomach, that is absolutely impossible.

Jiang Qi was able to climb the big tree of Liu Pengzu, thanks to her sister.Sister Jiang is good at singing and dancing, and she is pretty. It is estimated that the probability of appearing in the performance is extremely high. If she is not careful, she will be spotted by Prince Zhao and taken as his concubine.The younger sister learned the truth, and the older brother had meat to eat.In addition, Jiang Qi has a good brain, and he has been doing well in Zhao Guo all along. Some people spend their whole lives, no matter how they mess around, they are all punks.But Jiang Qi thought that in the land of Zhao country, as long as he puts his heart into it, he will become a big gangster one day.The truth is, he didn't look good in Zhao country, and he didn't even have the time to continue to mess around.

The person who doesn't want Jiang Qi to hang out in Zhao State is Prince Dan of Zhao State.Prince Dan found some gossip from nowhere, saying that Jiang Qi drank with King Zhao every day to please him, and even sold his privacy to King Zhao as political capital.Thanks to Liu Pengzu's blessing, Prince Dan was not someone to mess with, so in a rage, he sent someone to arrest Jiang Qi. That Jiang Qi is really not in vain.Before Prince Dan's men arrived, he had already heard the news, so he slipped away after rubbing oil on his feet.Prince Dan couldn't get Jiang Qi, so he captured Jiang Qi's father and brother. He was not polite at all, and he beheaded and abandoned the market without even saying hello.

Now, if Jiang Qi wants to hang out in Zhao country, he must become a gopher.So, he had no choice but to leave Zhao Guo and find another place. In this world, no matter what it is, it is nothing to a strong man; no matter who it is, it is no man to a strong man.Jiang Qi is such a natural gangster, no matter where he goes, it is not a problem for him. Or the ancients said it well, a tree moves to death, and a person lives when moved.Sure enough, Jiang Qi left Zhao country, not as miserable as he imagined, but more prosperous. This time, where did Jiang Qi go to mess around?Chang'an.What do you rely on to get ahead?informer.Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an has always opened its doors to informers.As long as there is some material, Changan will not let you go home empty-handed.Jiang Chong knew that the reason why Prince Dan of the Zhao Kingdom put him to death was because he held information related to the whereabouts of Prince Dan's head.

Therefore, he must make good use of this deadly intelligence.This is not only related to his life safety, but if he plays well, he can be counted on to succeed.However, the first thing Jiang Qi has to do is to change his name to Chong.From then on, the world only knew about Jiang Chong, but not about Jiang Qi. Very smoothly, Jiang Chong privately reported Prince Danyin to Liu Che.The so-called insidiousness refers to Prince Dan's messing around.Who are you messing with?Having an improper sexual relationship with a fellow sister.This is not only reckless, it is simply devoid of conscience.In addition, there are two other things. One is messing around with Zhao Wang's concubines in the palace;

What was the ruling philosophy of the Han Dynasty?filial piety.Filial piety is Confucianism. The Han Dynasty admired Confucianism, so it was superstitious and believed in filial piety.According to Confucius' vision, a person can become a loyal minister of the country only if he fulfills his filial piety at home.This kind of reasoning, both emotional and rational, seems to make sense.This glorious thought of Confucianism was fully utilized by the government of the Han Dynasty, so it invented a great tradition of filial piety to rule the world. Behind the filial rule of the world, what we see is the construction of a kind of order.To maintain this order of human relations, we must not only rely on the moral awareness of citizens, but also have to use two prongs, rule it by law, and clearly reward it.

From this we can understand what kind of crime Prince Dan committed.This is simply capital crime.Because of incest, it not only severely damaged morality, but also caused adverse social impact, shaking the construction of moral order in the Han Dynasty.Today in the 21st century, whoever destroys economic construction is a sinner of history; in the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, whoever destroys the moral construction of filial piety governing the world is a sinner of the Han Dynasty. If Prince Dan of the Zhao Kingdom was placed on the street, he would be an enemy of the whole people.

Jiang Chong sued Prince Dan's troubles in the form of the above letter.After Liu Che read it, he felt that the accusation was very serious, and it must not be false.Therefore, he even avoided the procedure of investigation and evidence collection, and directly sent people to arrest them. After Prince Dan was arrested and imprisoned, he was handed over to the local Wei County for a sentence of death.This time, someone panicked. The person who was nervous for Prince Dan was his father Liu Pengzu.Liu Pengzu has a way of dealing with the special commissioners of the Central Committee.But when encountering an informer like Jiang Chong, it seems that the tricks and tricks he used before didn't work.So, he had no choice but to write a letter to Liu Che through the normal channels.

The content of Liu Pengzu's letter to Liu Che is roughly as follows: Jiang Chong is a wanted criminal in Zhao State, and he made a false complaint to avenge his personal revenge.Even if this kind of person is cooked, it will be cheap for him.Of course, my son is not without fault.Your Majesty is wise, please allow me to choose a warrior, join the army to conquer the Huns, and use it to atone for the crime of Prince Dan. Liu Che read Liu Pengzu's letter.However, Liu Che only replied with two words: No.If you say no, it is because there is no room for negotiation.So according to legal procedures, Prince Dan was executed.

Prince Dan died, Jiang Chong's revenge was avenged, and the hatred was resolved. The landmine buried in the ground was detonated, and there is no need to worry about sleeping in the future.However, what excites Jiang Chong even more is that from then on, the death of Prince Dan marks the end of an old era and the advent of a new era. This new era is to bid farewell to the era of small gangsters, and usher in the era of big gangsters with unlimited sunshine and bright future.And this era belongs to Jiang Chong alone. In my opinion, those who promote the development of history are not necessarily great figures, but may also be gangsters.If there are others, it may be villains.And Jiang Chong is such a big gangster and a top-notch villain.

This master of the Han Dynasty knew that if he wanted to stay in Chang'an for a long time and get away with it, he had to resort to his tricks.The so-called trick is nothing but a show.The first thing Jiang Chong showed off was his own image. When it comes to catwalks, Jiang Chong is fully qualified to make his debut.He is handsome, tall enough, with a suitable waistline, this is one; he has a talent for modeling, good at dressing up, even self-made fashion, leading the trend, this is the second; he is bold, scheming, and has the qualifications of a gambler, This is the third. With these three alone, Jiang Chong is confident enough that no one can block his way to the top of the power tower of the Han Dynasty. Because of Jiang Chong's meritorious service in whistleblowing, Liu Che sent word early that he must meet him.The place where Liu Che met Jiang Chong was in Shanglinyuan Quantai Palace.What is Shanglinyuan, a hunting ground.What the Dog Terrace Palace is for, you can know a thing or two just by looking at the word, it is a palace for watching dogs. Liu Che seems to want to tell Jiang Chong, at best, you are just a dog in my Shanglin Garden.Of course, Jiang Chong is not a fool.Years of experience in the rivers and lakes told him that when he is a gangster, he must also be an excellent gangster; when he is a lackey, he must also be a loyal and obedient dog that amuses his master. So, Jiang Chong deliberately dressed up and was ready to appear on stage. If you have watched Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gamblers", you should still remember such a close-up shot. When Chow Yun-fat was on the scene, his hair was shiny, his hair was not messy, he had a cigar in his mouth, he had a splayed stance, and his windbreaker was elegant, classic underworld The boss is cool. Jiang Chong has the potential to be the boss of the underworld.To be honest, when Liu Che saw him appearing in front of his eyes for the first time, he was mesmerized.I was really fascinated.The Jiang Chong in front of him is not the mouse-eyed and treacherous person he imagined, nor can he see the slightest wretchedness, let alone the low self-esteem of a lackey as he imagined. On the contrary, what Liu Che saw was a confident and personable man.In order to fully demonstrate his personal charm, Jiang Chong put on a homemade gauze dress and a step crown with feathers.Such an image, if you use today's words, it is a full-fledged fashion man. At all times and in all over the world, almost all fashions first became popular in the upper class.Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there were many fashionable men in the palace who showed off and became good followers of the emperor.As early as Liu Bang's era, there was Jiru; later Liu Ying took over, and there was another named Hongru who also relied on fashion and grace. "Perhaps, the emperor really needs an eye-catching fashion dog like me." I think, deep in Jiang Chong's heart, such a strong thought must have flashed through. Sure enough, the seductive Jiang Chong was immediately recognized by Liu Che for the first time.Immediately afterwards, the two chatted, and they unknowingly talked about politics.Liu Che discovered that Jiang Chong was a political animal by nature, not only did not panic, but also answered questions fluently.Jiang Chongzhi's performance made Liu Che feel like a spring breeze in the shower, which was really refreshing. Familiar with the emperor, this is only Jiang Chong's first move.The second move is to take the initiative to attack and reach out to ask for officials.What officer do you want?messenger.Where are you going?Huns. Liu Che has seen many good people in his life, and there are many people who have reached out to him for an official.Therefore, when Jiang Chong proposed to him to take the initiative to send an envoy to the Huns, he did not nod or shake his head. Instead, he summoned him and asked him what he thought. Jiang Chong told Liu Che that his thoughts were just that he had no thoughts.Because he has never been to the Huns, he is not a prophet, and he does not know what will or will not happen in the vast road ahead.There are only four words he can do: adapt to changing conditions. In layman's terms, the meaning of these four words is to adapt to the situation and follow the food. Liu Che agreed with Jiang Chong's point of view and decided to send him as an envoy to the Huns.Soon, Jiang Chong returned to the Han Dynasty safely.No one told us what Jiang Chong had gained from this trip.All we know is that Jiang Chong was promoted after he came back and was worshiped as the emissary who pointed directly at the embroidered clothes. Directly referring to the embroidered clothes envoy, also known as embroidered clothes directing to the imperial censor, is a kind of imperial censor in the Western Han Dynasty.The special envoys sent by the emperor carry scepters and embroidered clothes when they go out. They can mobilize the army of the county and state, reward and punish them alone, and even kill local officials. In the Han Dynasty, pointing directly at the embroidered clothes envoy was simply a scarce product.Because this official has great power, under normal circumstances, it is not often placed.And Jiang Chong was able to grasp the magic stick of power and leap up the tower from an envoy to the Huns, which really made him excited. Jiang Chong also knew that Liu Che could let him take a rocket to the sky, which shows how much His Majesty the Emperor trusts his character and ability.Jiang Chong understands more deeply that this is only the prelude to his life.The performance has not been successful, and the villain still has to work hard.For the best tomorrow, he must take the third step in his political life. The so-called third move is to sell straight.Why sell straight?To sell is to show off; to be straight is to be upright.Adding up means showing off integrity. In Jiang Chong's eyes, what is the highest state of integrity?There is only one standard, His Majesty the emperor's interests are paramount, except for him, everyone will not accept it.And the first thing Jiang Chong wanted to show off was to repair the gang of nobles in Chang'an City for Liu Che. Liu Che's favorite subordinates in his life are those who are willing to solve his problems, or to fix others with his anger.This other person, such as the Huns, is also like a local tyrant.The affairs of the Huns are handed over to the generals; the affairs of the local magnates are handed over to the cruel officials. We know that in Liu Che's era, the cruel officials enjoyed themselves entirely because Liu Che was willing to appreciate them.As for the model representatives among the cruel officials, none other than Zhang Tang.Throughout Zhang Tang's life, we can't rule out that he had the wrong idea of ​​flattering his boss and attacking political opponents, but basically he can still be called "integrity". Because the cases he handled basically didn't save face for anyone, let alone accepting any bribes.When he died, the family's wealth was less than five hundred gold.As it turns out, that's not a man who lives for greed. If Jiang Chong wants to show off his integrity and steal his reputation, he should learn from Zhang Tang.However, back then, Zhang Tang punished people, that is to say, he punished him to death.Jiang Chong is different. He thinks that punishing people is just a means, not an end. So, what is the purpose?Generate income for Liu Che. We know that Liu Che and the Xiongnu fought and killed for so many years, and they wiped out the well-off life of the common people during the rule of Wenjing.Not to mention the common people's dream of a well-off life, Liu Che even took a lot of brains to prepare military expenses.He even mobilized rich people to donate money, but unfortunately few people responded, which made him extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. Now, there is no need for Liu Che to be annoyed, because Jiang Chong will soon vent his anger on him and help him solve this big problem. As the ancients said, if you want to add a crime, there is nothing to worry about.Jiang Chong said, if I want to punish people, how can I be helpless?Therefore, Jiang Chong targeted the noble relatives in Chang'an. Jiang Chong chose them because they were rich.First, collect charges and sue him; second, confiscate property; third, expand the scope of the attack, causing everyone in Chang'an to fear.So everyone spent money to eliminate disasters and make atonement with money. In this operation, Jiang Chong earned tens of millions of dollars for Liu Che.Liu Che looked at it and was very satisfied. Generating income and frightening relatives, Jiang Chong's ability to show off doesn't just stop there.I believe that he must have a blacklist in his hand.On this blacklist, one person also entered Jiang Chong's surveillance range. This person is Liu Xing, Princess Guantao.Liu Xing's once glorious era has become the past tense with the fall of Empress Chen Gillian.The reason why Liu Xing was picked up by Jiang Chong was because of his walking problem.This road is not another road, but a famous highway in the Han Dynasty: Chidao. China's highways were finally born in the Qin Dynasty under the guidance of Comrade Yingzheng and the efforts of Comrade Meng Tian and thousands of soldiers and civilians.In the Han Dynasty, the highway was built for the emperor.If there is no special edict from the emperor, in principle, no one else is allowed to go on the road. Even if they are allowed, they can only run on both sides. At Liu Xing's current state, he can't get along in the power field, but he still has this kind of privilege running on the high speed of the Han Dynasty.Unexpectedly, Jiang Chong still took Liu whoring. Once, Liu Xun took a group of followers on the road and was caught by Jiang Chong.Liu Xun said to Jiang Chong, I have a special edict from the Queen Mother on the road, how can you treat me like this?Guess what Jiang Chong said? Jiang Chong said that with the Queen Mother's special edict, it is of course easy to do things.However, the special edict only allows you to go on the road alone, and all followers are not allowed.After finishing speaking, Jiang Chong confiscated all the carriages and horses of Liu whoring's entourage without saying a word. Liu Xun seemed to have been knocked out of his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, unable to tell the pain.After living for decades, when had she been so wronged.We have reason to believe that this is not the first time that Liu Xing has led his entourage on the road. The reason why Jiang Chong can mess with her is not Jiang Chong's courage, but the terrible backer behind Jiang Chong.The backer wants to punish her, can she still speak up? In short, Liu Xing can only admit defeat. Jiang Chong thought that if his show off could be sold to this level, it should be almost the same.The so-called stop at the end, accept as soon as you see it, but that's all.However, the fate of being unwilling to be lonely pushed the involuntary Jiang Chong into the vortex of the deep sea. Soon, Jiang Chong met his nemesis—Prince Liu Shi. Every idiot knows that Liu Che is old and will retire sooner or later, and Liu Zheng will become a regular sooner or later.So there is no need for Jiang Chong to provoke Liu Shi.However, it is not up to Jiang Chong to decide whether to provoke or not. Jiang Chong and Liu Ju had no intention of competing, and the process was roughly as follows: Once Jiang Chong accompanied Liu Che to Ganquan Palace for vacation, when they were running on the highway, suddenly a group of people came from the opposite side.Now, Jiang Chong became furious.When the country's leaders travel, how can a motorcade occupy the road and affect the image. So Jiang Chong got out of the car and went to investigate.It turned out that the oncoming convoy was the prince's retainers.Now, Jiang Chong can't pretend to be upright, and the emperor has to hurry.Therefore, Jiang Chong reprimanded the prince's people and confiscated the horses and chariots. Is this the end of the matter?of course not. Jiang Chong maintained Liu Che's dignity, so what about the prince's face?Where to put it?Of course there is no place to put it.Soon, Liu Ju sent someone to meet Jiang Chong, and said: "Our prince doesn't feel sorry for those chariots and horses, but just doesn't want His Majesty the Emperor to know about it, so as not to cause misunderstanding, saying that he didn't manage his retainers well." However, Liu Shi's request was rejected by Jiang Chong.Not only did Jiang Chong refuse, but he immediately went up to play and reported the matter to Liu Che.Liu Che replied immediately: "Very well, it should be done this way." Even the prince dares to move?Jiang Chong's reputation was thunderous, and Chang'an was blown up.The entire capital was severely thundered by Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong and Liu Ju's Liang Zi, now it's settled.
