Chapter 44 Second, assassinate Zhang Anshi?

Somehow, Zhang Anshi felt that someone was trying to trick him.If you guessed right, this person is Liu Bingji.Liu Bing has been appointed as an official, isn't he just trying to drag him? History has proved that high officials who take the initiative to send to your door are not good things.At the beginning, Liu Che dismissed Shi Qing and appointed Gongsun He as prime minister.Gongsun He didn't see a trace of excitement, but was very sad. He fell to the ground and cried bitterly, but refused to accept the seal. The reason why Gongsun He didn't dare to accept the seal was not that the prime minister's seal was not good, but that he didn't have the life to accept it.Since Liu Che came to the throne, almost none of the prime ministers appointed by the emperor, except the old fox Gongsun Hong, had a good end.If Gongsun He is ordered, then he will be the next one who has no good fruit to eat.Sure enough, not long after Gongsun He became the prime minister, he was implicated by witches and killed all his families.

learn from past experience.Today, for Zhang Anshi, history seems to be repeating itself. If he can't refuse, it's tantamount to throwing himself into the frying pan.But, how can he reject Emperor Liu Bingji? At the beginning, when Gongsun He was not sealed, Liu Che was very upset, and he almost wanted to hit someone with the seal.What Gongsun Hedu can't do, can I, Zhang Anshi, do it?Two words, difficult. Just like Gongsun He knew Liu Che, Zhang Anshi certainly knew what Liu Bingji wanted to do.For a long time, because of some irresistible force, God has tied him and Huo Guang tightly together, becoming Huo Guang's staunch comrade-in-arms.

Huo Guang left today.It stands to reason that Huo Guang's position as a general should be reserved for the Huo family.Only in this way can the Huo family's traditional brand power be preserved.However, Liu Bingji did not operate according to the routine, and pulled Zhang Anshi to sit in the seat vacated by Huo Guang.Doesn't that mean it's embarrassing for the Huo family?The direct consequence of this behavior is that the Huo Zhang Alliance will naturally disintegrate. From a certain point of view, Zhang Anshi is Huo Guang's strong back wall. Without Zhang Anshi's wall to keep out the wind, the whole Huo clan might suffer from typhoid fever.Liu Bingji's technique of tearing down walls is really high.

Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi shivered as if he was in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.Suddenly, Zhang Anshi came to his senses, it was already summer and April, and spring had just passed, what kind of twelfth lunar month and cold winter. After shivering, Zhang Anshi suddenly remembered that Liu Bing was still watching him, waiting for him to speak. Zhang Anshi raised his head and looked into Liu Bingji's eyes, as if looking at two cold caves.Cold air and murderous aura burst out from the cold cave, rushing towards him.Zhang Anshi finally couldn't hold on to his feet anymore. With a plop, he took off his hat and lay down on the ground.

Then, Zhang Anshi, like a pitiful old bird that has been plucked and about to be sent to the fire grill, couldn't help crying out: "The old minister is honestly not enough to occupy a high position. After the general, the only The Son of Heaven mourns for the wealth, by the order of all the veterans." The translation of the above sentence is roughly: "Old minister, I am not made to be a general at all, please take pity on the emperor, please let me go." According to official rules, if a person is about to ascend to a certain position, he must first resign three times to show his humility.Among the rules, we call it a political show.To be honest, Zhang Anshi is not pretending to show off, but is calling for mercy from the bottom of his heart.

However, Liu Bingji thought that Zhang Anshi was putting on a show.Therefore, instead of showing pity to Zhang Anshi, Liu Bingji was made to laugh out loud.He smiled and said to Zhang Anshi: "Aren't you too modest, old man? If you can't be a great general, who can?" To be honest, what Liu Bingji said was the truth.At the beginning, when the ministers of the Han Dynasty abolished the bastard Liu He, Huo Guang took the first place, Zhang Anshi took the second place, and the Huo family's children were all doing odd jobs.If Zhang Anshi can't become a general, should the Huo family's gang of handymen come out to support the scene?What logic.

Zhang Anshi suddenly discovered that he had been tricked.It was not only Liu's illness, but also fate that plotted against him.Accidentally, he was pushed into the quagmire of history by fate.It is dangerous to go forward, and it is even more dangerous to go backward.Standing still, either being blown into a mummified corpse by the wind, or being beaten into a drenched chicken by the rain, is equally dangerous. For a moment, Zhang Anshi seemed to have his mouth blocked with mud, and he could no longer speak. 68 BC, April 17th.Zhang Anshi was appointed as the great Sima, also a general of chariots and cavalry, in charge of court secrets (collar ministers).

Thankfully, Zhang Anshi was finally dealt with.Then, Wei Xiang's next move was to seize power.How to seize and where to seize, Wei Xiang has a well-thought-out plan.Soon, he secretly wrote a letter to Liu Bingji, stating his vision. In the Han Dynasty, there were two main types of documents submitted to the emperor.One is general documents, which all use open envelopes.The other is important documents, which are sealed and unsealed by the emperor himself.This sealed book was called "Sealing Things" in ancient times.Both kinds of documents are handed over to the emperor by Ling Shangshushi.

The documents that Wei Xiang had submitted to Liu Bing were encrypted.However, just in case, he did not hand over the document to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but entrusted a reliable person to hand it over to the emperor directly.And that reliable person is Xu Guanghan, Liu Bingji's father-in-law. The people Wei Xiang wanted to fix were the Huo family, and Xu Guanghan was more than happy to run up and down for Wei Xiang.The reason is that Xu Guanghan and the Huo family also had a feud. At the beginning, Liu Bing had made Mr. Xu Ping the queen, and he also wanted to be a favor, so he made his father-in-law Xu Guanghan the marquis.However, this matter was immediately rejected by Huo Guang.Huo Guang believes that Xu Guanghan is not qualified to be a marquis, but he is allowed to be a prince.Therefore, Liu Bingji had no choice but to make Xu Guanghan Lord Changcheng.

What is the difference between Hou and Jun?The difference is huge.In the Warring States period, "Jun" is bigger than "Hou".As time passed, the two reversed.In the Han Dynasty, the "hou" was bigger than the "jun". The king had only a fief, and the marquis had a title.What makes Xu Guanghan depressed is that "Jun" is often given to women, and Huo Guang allowed him to be named "Jun", which seems a bit ironic. So what about sarcasm?You can only make do with it, bear with it.This account will be kept for future calculation.However, the reason why Xiang Wei gave up being a minister and took the route of Xu Guanghan was not only because Xu Guanghan was willing to run errands for Wei Xiang, but more importantly, there was also a son of the Huo family who was a minister.That person is Huo Shan, the nephew of Huo Guang.

So far, Wei Xiang has handed over encrypted documents to Liu Bing twice.The first time was to suggest that Liu Bing had made Zhang Anshi the Grand Sima.This time, the reason why he wanted to avoid Huo Shan was because what he wrote to Liu Bingji was that if he wanted to eradicate the Huo family's power, the first thing he had to do was to take away Huo Shan's power.Because Huo Shan's position is too important. How many documents in the Han Dynasty passed through the Lingshang Shushi every day, and how many of the documents suing the Huo family were transferred to the emperor?As long as Huo Shan stays there, don't let the emperor hear news that is not good for the Huo family.If things go on like this, the emperor can't collect documents that are not good for the Huo family, so how can he play games with the Huo family. So, how can Huo Shan's leadership power be emptied?Wei Xiang put forward two suggestions: open a special channel, which is one; allow everyone to send encrypted documents to the emperor, which is another. Is it enough?Of course not enough. According to the usual practice, two copies of the memorial to the emperor should be written at the same time.The memorial was sent to the Palace Secretariat (Shangshu), and the copy was reviewed first.If it is considered inappropriate, it will be set aside together with the original.Therefore, Wei Xiang also believed that in order to prevent the secretariat from cheating, it is best to abolish the copy.The advantage of this is that if Huo Shan, the chief minister, wants to know the encrypted document content, there is no way. As the saying goes, the height of the Tao is one foot, and the height of the devil is one foot.Wei Xiang's move is really too high.Soon, Liu Bing had approved Wei Xiang's suggestion.At the same time, Wei Xiang was appointed as the minister to participate in the decision-making of major national affairs. So far, Liu Bingji has boldly done a few big things because of Wei Xiang as the driving force behind the scenes.That is what I said before, the crown prince, and the appointment of the prince Taifu and the prince Shaofu.At the same time, Xu Guanghan was promoted smoothly and was named Ping Enhou by his emperor's son-in-law. So far, Wei Xiang believes that the matter has been more than half successful.He is even more convinced that he has the chance to win. In fact, Wei Xiang was moving, and Huo Xian was also moving.Huo Xian has already realized that Liu Bing has made Xu Pingjun's son the crown prince, so it is decided that his daughter Huo Chengjun's future son can only be named the prince.If you want Huo Chengjun's future son to be crowned prince, kill him in one word. If you don't kill, you can't have a chance.In the past, only by poisoning the queen could Huo Chengjun become the queen.Now only by killing the prince, Huo Chengjun's future son will have the chance to be the prince.This is Huo Xian's logic.This logic, no matter how it is proved, is established. Huo Xian acted. Anyone who achieves major events must find an agent.This is the conspiracy theory.Great conspirators often regard conspiracy as an art.Art is sublime, and there is no room for confusion.However, crappy conspirators often regard conspiracy as a trick.However, not all the Buddha's feet can be hugged. If you don't burn incense, if you want to hug the Buddha's feet, the Buddha will throw your feet. The Buddha has already kicked Huo Xian.Now, the Buddha wanted to throw Huo Xian another kick.Because of the idea of ​​poisoning the crown prince, it was soon put on the agenda.Who can do this?Huo Xian thought that it was Huo Chengjun.What murder law?Huo Xian wanted to imitate another person. The person Huo Xian thought of was Lu Zhi, the most poisonous woman in the Han Dynasty.Remember how Lu Zhi poisoned Qi Ji's son Liu Ruyi back then?Lu Zhi sent someone to deliver a glass of poisoned wine one day, and forced Liu Ruyi to drink it from the bed, which solved the serious problem in his heart. Huo Xian thought that Lu's pheasant could use poisoned wine, why couldn't she use it?The use of poisoned wine is low in cost and quick in effect. It can be said that the medicine can cure the disease. However, Huo Xian was wrong. The great "Sun Tzu's Art of War" once warned military strategists that a perfect conspiracy is always changing.If it is used repeatedly, once the horse's feet are exposed, the enemy will notice and danger will come. I think Mr. Sun Tzu's words are only half right.He only talks about conspiracy, but not the premise.In the game between the enemy and us, if our side has an absolute advantage, it is okay not to seek changes.This is like Lu Zhi back then. She regarded Liu Bang's sons as chickens locked in an iron cage, and she could kill whoever she wanted, and she could kill whoever she wanted.I will tell you if I kill it, I am like this, what do you want? Compared with the past and present, Huo Xian obviously does not have the energy of Lu Zhi.Therefore, if Huo Xian copied Lu's pheasant poison killing technique, the consequences would be very serious.Facts soon proved that Huo Xian's trick was no longer effective. At that time, Huo Xian thought that it was very easy for Huo Chengjun to kill the crown prince.As long as you summon the crown prince to the harem and give him candy, you can take the opportunity to kill him.Soon, Huo Chengjun followed what his mother said.However, the crown prince was summoned and the candy was given, but the crown prince lived well. Things go bad at a certain point.At that time, the crown prince Liu Shi was only eight years old, and the queen Xu Pingjun was poisoned to death again.Therefore, Liu Shi was regarded as a key protection object, and all his food and drink had to be tasted by nurses and other attendants before they could be eaten.Therefore, Huo Chengjun made several attempts, all of which failed. Huo Xian was really anxious to death.It's useless to be anxious, I can only stare and cry.In fact, this is nothing.According to reliable sources, Liu Bing has begun to replace defense with offense. This is what scares Huo Xian and the Huo family the most. So, Huo Xian convened a family meeting to find a coping strategy.Huo Guang's son Huo Yu, Huo Guang's nephew Huo Shan and other big names attended the meeting.At the meeting, Huo Xian said worriedly: "If one day, the Huo family collapses, the one who digs the foundation of our Huo family's wall must be him." Both Huo Yu and Huo Shan looked at Huo Xian nervously, and asked, "Does he mean the emperor?" Huo Xian shook his head and said: "No, he is Wei Xiang, the imperial historian. Wei Xiang made frequent moves, and was called into the palace by the emperor to participate in the discussion. As long as he enters the palace and disturbs it, all good things of the Huo family will be disturbed by him. .” Huo Shan suddenly realized.It turned out that his power to lead the book was evaded, and it was all because of Wei Xiang. Facts have proved that a woman's sixth sense is very reliable.67 BC, June 7th.Liu Bing has appointed Wei Xiang as prime minister.As soon as the news came out, Huo Shan and others, who were belatedly aware of it, felt as if they had been struck by five thunderbolts.For a moment, they seemed to hear the roar of a boulder rolling down the mountain. grim Reaper!The future god of death is coming? !
