Chapter 59 2. Weaknesses of Zhang Tang

When God wants to destroy a person, he first makes him crazy.Based on this sentence, we say that Zhang Tang is crazy now, which is correct. Together with Sang Hongyang, he planned the Salt and Iron Law, which smashed the jobs of private mine owners and salt merchants, and shattered the dreams of these local rich men to get rich.This is one of them. People are in the center, friends are rare, but enemies are everywhere.From the local area to Chang'an, everyone hates Zhang Tang.I even suspect that someone might break into Zhang's mansion and smash his whole family in a dream.This is the second.

Yes, Ji An has gone to the countryside, and there are still a group of people watching closely in the dark.It is indeed not easy for Zhang Tang to be in the bloody officialdom with a lonely figure. Mao Zedong said that all imperialism is a paper tiger; I said that all political enemies are not to be feared. What is terrible is that there is no iron wall that cannot be attacked. It is just that Zhang Tang has more than enough offensive, but not enough defense.Ji An saw his political weakness, and others also saw it. The first person who dared to touch Zhang Tang's death spot was a doctoral officer named Di Shan.

Speaking of this matter, it is a bit long.At that time, the Xiongnu Shanyu was beaten by Wei Qing and looked for his teeth everywhere. His King You Guli thought he was dead and made himself Shanyu.A few days later, news suddenly came that Yi Zhixie Shanyu was still alive.It was later confirmed that Yizhixie Danyu was still alive, and King Youguli had no choice but to abolish the name of Shanyu himself. The Yizhixie people were found, but most of the Xiongnu soldiers died, and the land was also eaten away by the Han Dynasty.All of this was seen sideways by Yi Zhi, and she was anxious, so she turned her head and asked Xin Zhao what to do.Xin Zhao thought for a long time, and then tricked Yi Zhixie.

Xin Zhao's plan is to get married. Xin Zhao's words, at first glance, sounded not only funny, but also ridiculous.If you want to get married, you need capital.Why did Liu Che work so hard to fuck the Huns? It was because the Huns used to bully people too much.From Maodun Shanyu to Junchen Shanyu, it has been nearly a hundred years.Today, after finally playing the victorious scene in front of him, he suddenly said that if he wants to make peace with Liu Che, he should go make peace with the ghost. Therefore, how to demonstrate the plan of making a marriage is a fool's dream. However, in Xin Zhao's view, a marriage is not impossible.The reason why Xin Zhao can be confident is because he has seen a weakness of the Han Dynasty.The reason is that although the Han Dynasty sent people to work on the frontier, they took the opportunity to develop the frontier.However, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to wipe out the remnants of the Huns on a large scale.Because Liu Che lacked one thing.

This thing is a war horse. In the Han Dynasty, 140,000 war horses left the fortress, and less than 30,000 horses returned.Is it possible to collect another 140,000 horses in a short time?The answer is, impossible. Since the Han Dynasty lacked offensive tools, why didn't he take the initiative to propose a marriage while he was very tired now? The strategy that originally looked like a joke, after Xin Zhao's analysis, not only felt it was not ridiculous, it seemed to be true. Of course, Yi Zhixie Shanyu also knows that risks and opportunities coexist, and it is worth trying.So he sent envoys to the Han Dynasty.The envoys of the Huns also spoke kindly to Liu Che, and finally said shyly that they wanted to marry each other.

After hearing what the Huns envoy said, Liu Che didn't agree with what he said, nor did he agree with it.Just immediately, he called a meeting to discuss the matter. The atmosphere at the discussion site was very enthusiastic, and a strong smell of gunpowder permeated through the enthusiasm.Some said, you can get married; some said, what the hell, after so many years of beating, is it for nothing?Discord.If you want to be tough, you have to be tough to the end. In the past, we called the Huns brothers, but today he must call us big brothers. Among those who advocate discord, there is the Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office (Prime Minister Chang Shi).This Secretary-General is called Ren Chang.In our current terms, this man is a true hawk.He said to Liu Che coquettishly: Now that the Huns have been beaten to death, they took the initiative to talk about marriage.I think we should take the opportunity to make him surrender and go to the border to pay homage to the Han Dynasty.

Of course Liu Che liked to hear what the Secretary-General said.Liu Che decided to send Ren Chang as an envoy to the Xiongnu to negotiate with Shan Yu. It's comfortable to talk early, and you have to find a fight when you talk late.I think this should be the words Liu Che asked Ren Chang to pass on to Yi Zhixie Shanyu. In fact, the hawks of the Han Dynasty, including Liu Che, all made a blindly optimistic mistake.When Yi Zhixie Shanyu heard that the Han Dynasty wanted to recognize him as his younger brother, instead of being polite, he jumped up and scolded Liu Che.After scolding, he still felt unrepentant, so he detained Ren Chang.

Don't think that if you win the battle, you want to recognize me as your little brother.Anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.Let's see. The Secretary-General of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was detained, which was beyond Liu Che's expectation.Liu Che also called a meeting of officials to discuss the matter.Of course, the scene was full of saliva and gunpowder.However, at this time, Heqinpai stood up alone.This person is Doctoral Officer Di Shan. As soon as Di Shan came up, he gave full play to his expertise of eloquent scholars and explained a lot of truths.His reasoning boils down to one thing:

In the past, Emperor Wen and Jing made peace with the Xiongnu, and the people of the world lived happily; now His Majesty has used all the power of the whole country to beat the Xiongnu to the point of crying and howling, but he has not gained much benefit. return.So in my opinion, war is not a good thing, but peace can be achieved. When Liu Che heard this, his face darkened.Liu Che turned his head and asked Zhang Tang, do you think what the doctor said made sense? Unexpectedly, Zhang Tang answered immediately. The original words are as follows: This fool is ignorant! Confucianism is a scholar.Stupid Confucianism is a stupid scholar.Confucianism and ignorance, when put together, are not only stupid, but also ignorant.

It is not easy for a scholar to be called a saint, and indeed it is not easy to be called a stupid and ignorant person.Unexpectedly, with just one sentence, Zhang Tang completely rejected what Di Shan had learned in his life. Zhang Tang hurt people so badly that Di Shan lost his temper on the spot. There is no difference between the scolding of scholars and the scolding of neighbors and aunts and mothers, but there is still a slight difference in terms of words.Dishan refuted Zhang Tang on the spot like this: You are right, I am stupid, at least I am loyal; you are smart, but you are clearly a fraud.Don't think that I slandered you, Zhang Tang ruled Huainan King and Jiangdu King, separated the emperor's flesh and blood, and put everyone in the world at risk.These full performances, you are fraudulent!

In fact, Zhang Tang's political opponents, including Ji An who was not at the scene, all think that Zhang Tang is an out-and-out fraudster.However, Dr. Di was the only one who dared to spit out the word deceitful loyalty. Anger is the devil.Di Shan's mouth was full of fun, but at this time it caused disaster. Because Liu Che was angry. Liu Che was angry, not because of the word of deceitful loyalty, but because Di Shan shouldn't have involved him and Huainan Wang and others.It was a scar on Liu Che, and it hurts when he thinks about it.Thanks to your Ph.D., you are really an ignorant Confucianist. At this time, Liu Che suddenly asked Dr. Di inexplicably: I appointed you as the sheriff, can you deal with the Xiongnu and prevent them from invading? Dr. Di was taken aback, wondering why Liu Che asked this question.However, he had no choice but to answer: no. Liu Che asked again: Then, why are you appointed as the county magistrate? Dr. Di was taken aback for another moment, and he had no choice but to answer: No. Liu Che asked again: So, what if you are sent to guard a pavilion and blockhouse? When Liu Che asked this question, he felt a cold murderous aura rushing towards his face.At this moment, Dr. Di suddenly woke up like a dream.He finally saw clearly that Liu Che was clearly trying to force him to death. In the end, Dr. Di had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: Yes. Can, compared to can't, only one word less.In fact, there is no essential difference in the results.The slight difference is that because of this, Dishan lived an extra month.Sure enough, Liu Che sent Dr. Di to guard a blockhouse in the border area. A month later, the Huns attacked, beheaded him and left. Chang'an was shocked by Dr. Di's death.If you want to live a few more days, you can't provoke Zhang Tang; if you want to provoke Zhang Tang, you should wash your neck and wait to be chopped off.This is the consensus of the big bosses in Chang'an on Zhang Tang. Fear is an instinct of human self-protection; being feared is the pleasure of being satisfied with the power of life and death.In my opinion, Zhang Tang's Achilles heel is not deceitful loyalty, not being too powerful, but being too feared! In the end, he died in the three words "being feared".
