Chapter 4 4. Liu Rong and Zhidu

Cutting the weeds requires eradicating the roots, which is the most basic common sense in political struggle.After Li Ji was settled, Liu Rong was kicked, the queen was named, and the prince was established, the task was only half completed.The revolution has not yet succeeded, and the sisters still have to work hard.The next thing Liu Xun and Wang Meiren will do is to search for Liu Rong's crimes and throw his time bomb into the deep sea to detonate. Two years later, the opportunity finally came. This time, Liu Xun and Wang Meiren still did not do it themselves.They found another scapegoat who was willing to work hard.This person is none other than the number one cruel official in the Han Dynasty, Mr. Zhidu.

Zhidu, a native of Dayang, Hedong (now southeast of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province).At the beginning, Zhidu served Emperor Xiaowen as a Lang; during Emperor Xiaojing, he was promoted to the commander of the royal guard (Zhonglang General), and he was famous in the palace for his outspoken admonitions and ruthlessness. There is something to prove it: Zhidu once followed Liu Qi into Shanglinyuan to hunt, during which Jia Ji went to the toilet, but a hungry wild boar rushed towards him smelling the smell of dung.Seeing that Jia Ji was about to be invaded by wild beasts, Liu Qi immediately gave Zhidu his eyes and asked him to save her.However, Zhidu remained motionless, as if blind.Liu Qi was so anxious that he had no choice but to use his weapon alone, jumping up and going to save people.

At this moment, Zhi Du leaned over to stop Liu Qi, and persuaded him: "If one concubine dies, another concubine will come in again. The world is short of Ning Jiaji! Your Majesty will take it lightly, Nai Zongmiao, the Queen Mother!" The translation of this sentence is that there are many women like Jia Ji, and it is a big deal to find another one after death.But there is only one Son of Heaven. Before His Majesty is desperate, he must first consider the country and Queen Mother Dou. This is the legendary master flatterer, who is not beneficial to others, but only self-interested, and he is actually justified.Mencius said that all people have the heart of compassion.If not, how is it different from animals.Yes, Zhidu is just a mock-up in wild boar skin.

It just so happens that Liu Qi likes this kind of human boar.At that time, Liu Qi really didn't save Jia Ji, and the wild boar also left satisfied after getting a meal of dung from Jia Ji.Later, Empress Dowager Dou heard about this and rewarded Zhidu with a hundred catties of gold, and Zhidu was naturally also relied on. The power of the beast is infinite.In the matter of Shanglinyuan, Zhidu had just shown his edge. Liu Qi thought that this Zhidu must be a master of beast taming.So he decided to send Zhidu to be a beast tamer in a place where beasts in human skins abound.This prosperous place was exactly Jinan County, which was famous for its law and order chaos at that time.

The reason for the chaos in Jinan County is rooted in local hooligans.It has been said that hooligans are not scary, what is terrible is that hooligans are educated.This group of hooligans in Jinan County is not only educated, but also has a large team. It has developed into a clan criminal group, and the successive county guards are very big. If you look at a statistic, Mr. Sheriff can't think about it.The data shows this: There are more than 300 clan-based hooligan groups in Jinan County, and what is even more frightening is that all of these 300-odd gangs are powerful masters.Not only are they strong, but they are also cunning. They take all black and white, and no one can do anything about them.

Therefore, it is not only a troublesome problem to solve the problem of county security, but also a difficult problem.In fact, it is not necessary to use complex methods to solve complex problems.At least, Zhi thinks so. Zhidu's method is: Simplify the complexity, wipe it all out, and kill without mercy! Sure enough, once Zhidu arrived in Jinan County, he didn't say hello to anyone, he didn't give anyone face, and he wouldn't hold a meeting to mobilize.He just arrests people in a muffled voice, and then kills the first offender like mowing grass. As a result, in less than a year, the law and order in Jinan County was completely changed.Jinan County, where bullying, robbing and deceitful, run rampant in the countryside, commits all kinds of crimes, has become the most safe and most livable county in the whole country.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhi Du exchanged the heads of hundreds of bullies for these.Just like this, Zhidu has become a synonym for evil spirits.The gangsters in Jinan County were afraid of him, his colleagues in the officialdom were afraid of him, and even infants were afraid of him. If the baby cries wildly in the middle of the night, just say: If you cry again, Zhidu will come.No one believed that this baby dared to cry a second time. In fact, it is really not easy for Zhi to be able to exchange for such a great reputation.It's very enjoyable to kill, but you must always prevent others from killing you.Zhidu's self-defense method is not to accept private guests, not to accept private gifts, to conduct business in a public manner, and to act boldly.

This trick is like today's computer system, the enemy is the virus, to prevent the virus, you must install a firewall.As long as Zhidu firmly guards that cold and selfless firewall, no matter if he is a gangster or a white gang, ordinary hackers will have nothing to do with him. This is the case with You Zhi, so there is no reason for him not to be promoted.Sure enough, not long after, Liu Qi changed him to another position: the chief (lieutenant) of the Chang'an Public Security Bureau.Zhi lived up to Liu Qi's expectations, and rushed back to Chang'an from Jinan County with a ruthless murderous aura, and the entire capital was shaken.

First of all, the law must be followed and the law must be strictly enforced. Those who should be beheaded can be beheaded, and even those who should be beaten can be beheaded.This kind of law enforcement, the people of Beijing gave him two words: abnormal; Tough guy, really a tough guy. Facing this tough guy, you have to obey even if you don't accept it.What's even more frightening is that when I heard that the clan of Liehou in Chang'an met Zhidu head-on, they didn't dare to look up.It seems that it is too trivial to frighten children with the reputation of Zhidu. So, after so many rounds of tossing, Zhidu became famous all over the world.The whole country gave him a nickname: Goshawk.

The goshawk is above, with its sharp claws in the sky, if you want to live longer, then keep your own law and save yourself.I think this should be what the nobles in Chang'an wanted to say most at that time. After introducing Zhidu's glorious experience, let's go back to Liu Xing and Wang Meiren.Just because Zhi doesn't recognize the royal relatives and nobles doesn't mean he doesn't recognize Wang Meiren.No, it shouldn't be called Wang Meiren, it should be called Wang Huanghou. Queen Wang Zhi believed that in order to deal with Liu Rong, one must find a good knife.Zhidu is a good knife, a sharp knife that can shake people's hearts just by slashing through the air.Moreover, they have already prepared Liu Rong's crime for Zhidu: occupying the space outside the wall of Liu Heng's temple.

Of course, even if Liu Rong has these crimes, it is not a capital crime.The problem is, even Zhi doesn't see it that way.Anyone who is beaten can be beheaded in his hands, occupying the royal land, in his opinion, beheading twice is not too much.With Goshawk so ruthless, Liu Xun and the queen really found the right person. Here, I don't want to slander Queen Wang and Liu Xing. According to the limited information in my hand, I haven't seen how they got online with Zhi.However, when an idler sued Liu Rong, saying that he invaded the remaining land outside the wall of Liu Hengzong's temple to expand the palace, Liu Qi immediately called Liu Rong into the palace to confront him. The strange thing is that Liu Rong just arrived in Chang'an, and he was not allowed to argue, and Zhidu didn't ask anything, and put him in prison directly. This, is there no fraud? I can only say this: Liu Rong should be imprisoned, Liu whoring should have done his best, the queen should have spoken, and Liu Qi should have nodded too much.So, conspiracy, this is a real conspiracy.This is all the prince's fault! Oh, if you want to kill, just chop it up, why bother wronging me.I was born as the hair on your body, and died as the ghost of the Liu family.Pulling hairs and roots, brothers and sisters, life is impermanent, I can only accept this fate. However, life and death are ordinary things, let me say goodbye.Lend me a pen, a bamboo slip, and engrave my tears and despair.Then, with a wave of my sleeves, let me forget that I have come to this world! There were no pens at that time, and writing could only be carved with a knife.Therefore, Liu Rong knew that death was inevitable, so he could only ask Mr. Zhidu for a loan with a desperate heart. However, Zhidu told Liu Rong coldly: Want to borrow a knife and a pen?No! The pain has never been so hopeless and helpless as it is today.However, just when Liu Rong raised his head and was hopeless, someone finally quietly sent him a knife, pen and Jane.This person was Mr. Dou Ying who wanted to save him but was helpless.As a result, Liu Rong really complained of despair on the simple board and took the opportunity to commit suicide. News of Liu Rong's suicide spread to the palace immediately, and finally: Liu whoring was relieved, Queen Wang was relieved, and Liu Qi acquiesced.There is only one person who is extremely angry and sad, that is, Queen Mother Dou. At this time, all the good feelings that Empress Dowager Dou had for Zhidu were all wiped out.This woman who has been familiar with her all her life, no conspiracy can escape her eyes.Laozi said, if you are not virtuous at the top, you are virtuous; if you are not virtuous at the bottom, you are not virtuous.Her Queen Mother Dou is the real virtuous person, and she never flaunts her own virtues.However, Zhidu and his ilk, who claim to be virtuous in governing the country, are actually executioners who kill people with a knife. To put it even worse, he is simply a shameless tool for killing people! Empress Dowager Dou, who was angry and sad, turned to hate Zhidu deeply.Since this ugly Zhidu can't tolerate an innocent and helpless soul, then her sharp knife can't tolerate such a shameless person like Zhidu. Therefore, Empress Dowager Dou bypassed Liu Qi and directly sent someone to collect charges against Zhidu.When the relevant departments presented the so-called criminal facts of Zhidu to the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager Dou immediately summoned Liu Qi and threw Zhidu's criminal evidence in front of him: kill or not, you can decide.If you don't kill him, you must ask Zhidu to return his grandson to me. The tigress went berserk, Zhi was dying. However, Zhidu still temporarily escaped the knife of Queen Mother Dou.In the end, Liu Qi only dismissed him from the capital and dismissed him from office.At the same time, he also specially comforted Zhidu, saying that you have worked hard during this time, so go home and have a rest first. There's no way, it's not easy at all.He has worked so hard for you and killed many people. You can't kill him just because of Queen Dowager Dou's words.Therefore, Liu Qi's trick is just a trick, he just wants to put on a show so that Empress Dowager Dou can calm down first. Sure enough, soon, Liu Qi secretly activated Zhidu again. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Qi sent someone to Zhidu's hometown to tell him that he didn't have to go back to Chang'an to report, but took the sidewalk to go to work.Liu Qi has already taken care of this work place, which is quite hidden and reliable, and his new position is the prefect of Yanmen! Yanmen County, which is today's Youyu County, Shanxi Province.Not to mention that Emperor Shangao is far away here, it is also the border of the Han and Huns, and it is an ideal site for the Huns to often go sightseeing and rob.However, when the Huns heard that Zhidu was going to serve as the prefect of Yanmen, they were taken aback for a moment, and then shouted: "Zhidu is here, run quickly!" For a while, on the Han-Hungarian border, all the Hun cavalry retreated with a clatter.This scene is full of emotion.With only one capital, without mobilizing a single soldier or horse, all the Huns ran away without a trace. The most ruthless official in the world really didn't blow it out! From then on, Zhidu really looked like an evil god guarding the gate, and none of the Huns dared to approach Yanmen.Of course, Zhi is a human being, not a god.Since he is a human being, he can eat a knife and take a sharp arrow just like us.Therefore, in order to deal with Zhidu, the Xiongnu created a Zhidu wood idol and ordered all soldiers to practice riding flying arrows and shooting! I can tell you the result, unfortunately, not one shot. There is only one explanation for the reason why they missed the shot. They were afraid and empty, and the flying arrows were unstable, so of course they missed.However, the pessimistic Huns immediately turned their worries into joy. Because, someone finally shot Zhidu. This shooting master is not the Huns, but the Queen Mother Dou who is far under the city of Chang'an. At this time, Empress Dowager Dou already knew about Liu Qi's shelter and Zhidu's remote transfer.When Empress Dowager Dou was reading, little Liu Qi was still rolling on the ground.Liu Qi wanted to play tricks with her, that was simply ignorance. You know, if Empress Dowager Dou wants to love someone, she must love her so shockingly that she will cry ghosts and gods, such as Liu Wu; if she hates someone, even if he goes far away, she will have to dig three feet into the ground and make you a mess before she is willing to give up. Unfortunately, Zhidu fell into the hands of the extreme Queen Mother Dou in this way. It's still the same old trick: First, the Empress Dowager Dou secretly sent people to investigate Zhidu and collect charges.Because of the previous setback experience, Empress Dowager Dou ordered her young man to search for crimes that would put them all to death; secondly, organize the impeachment of relevant people, and beheaded with the backing of Empress Dowager Dou. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Dou's people finally got enough of Zhidu's death charges.The devil knows what crimes are, these are not important, the important thing is that it can kill people. Then, Empress Dowager Dou summoned Liu Qi, and said harsh words: Boy, don't play with me anymore, you must kill him this time! Liu Qi was helpless, and just argued feebly: They are all loyal ministers, and they have made meritorious deeds in scaring the Huns, how can they kill them? Empress Dowager Dou sneered: Isn't Linjiang King Liu Rong a loyal minister? Yes, if you can kill my grandson, can't I interrupt your dog legs?A move for a move, a life for a life, let's even it out. Liu Qi had no choice but to nod in agreement, and killed Zhidu.In this way, this legendary cruel official, like a different kind of shooting star, disappeared into the sky of the Han Dynasty with a sense of grievance. If you understand the past, you will not be warned, and if you know the future, you can pursue it. This Zhidu, maybe he once had the ideal of governing the world; he had the belief that he would never turn back when he hit the south wall; ; There is the heroism of being a hero in life, and being a hero in death. But, I really don't know, whether he has really enjoyed the warmth of human beings, the cry of saving the world, and compassion for those dying lives from the bottom of his heart? I think there is only one person with this answer, and that is: God knows!
