Chapter 61 4. Angry Zhu Maichen

The development of the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhang Tang.In this battle of more than a dozen, Zhang Tang's political opponents, like round-up masters, are driving Zhang Tang into the paddock step by step.However, Zhang Tang seems to be a blindfolded prey, being led by an invisible hand towards the grave dug for him by others. Li Wen, Liu Pengzu, and Xuanxuan came one by one.The next one to appear was a long-lost face.This person was once pulled by Empress Dowager Dou to fill in the pit, Wu Qianghou Zhuang Qingzhai. After Gongsun Hong's death, Li Guang's cousin Li Cai took over as prime minister.But the buttocks are not hot yet, so I don't know which tendon is short in the head, because I accidentally lost my life because I fell in love with a treasured land of geomantic omen.This geomantic treasure land is the cemetery of Emperor Xiaojing.At that time, there was an open space outside the cemetery of Emperor Xiaojing Liu Qi. Li Cai thought that idleness was idleness, and it would be better to let him shine, so he buried his family outside the cemetery of Xiaojing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this matter got out, Liu Che immediately sent someone to investigate.Li Cai couldn't bear it anymore, and finally committed suicide in prison. The death of Li Cai made a bad start for his successor.After him, those who became the prime minister of Liu Che did not end well.For example, Zhuang Qingzhai, who was helped by Liu Che to succeed him. To be honest, it was not easy for Zhuang Qingdi to survive in this life.Good things never come to him, bad things always patronize him.At the beginning, because of the fight with Liu Che, Empress Dowager Dou abolished the Prime Minister Dou Ying who Liu Che personally cultivated, and brought Zhuang Qingzhai to fill the hole.After the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Che showed his power again, abolished Zhuang Qingzhai, and brought in his relative Tian Fu.

Unexpectedly, after many years, he could make a comeback and become the prime minister. There is only one reason why Zhuang Qingzhai was pulled to fill in the hole twice: this person has always been a low-key person and low-key person, never causing trouble casually. Not causing trouble casually does not mean not being able to cause trouble.There was an incident recently that Zhuang Qingzhai had to find someone to stab someone with a knife.And this person is Zhang Tang, who is feared by everyone and worried by ghosts. The thing is this: First, someone dug someone's tomb and stole the funeral money in the tomb.It doesn't matter who lost money in the tomb, but a certain family didn't.The so-called certain family refers to the emperor's family.And the money in the tomb of the above-mentioned person was stolen, he is the former emperor Xiaojingdi.

Since the thieves dared to dig the imperial tomb, it shows that the technology of tomb robbery can stand the test.Whether the thieves can catch it is another matter.The most important thing at the moment is that the imperial mausoleum was dug up, who should be blamed? Zhuang Qingdi said that, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he should be held accountable for this incident. Of course, Zhuang Qingdi didn't say this to himself, but to Zhang Tang.Finally, he added that the prime minister was responsible, and so should the imperial censor.So, let's make amends to the emperor together, what do you think?

Zhuang Qingzhai's trick is called, if he is unlucky, he will also pull a backer. In fact, from Zhuang Qingdi's point of view, Prime Minister Zhuang's suggestion is reasonable. Because the official position of Doctor Yushi is called Deputy Prime Minister in another name.According to the ranking of official positions in the Han Dynasty government, the prime minister and deputy prime minister are the top and second in command respectively.And the official position of the prime minister, to put it bluntly, is the steward of the royal family.It's just that this home is a super large home called the country.As the supervisor, Zhuang Chengxiang, and as the deputy supervisor, Zhang Yushi, should bear the crime of dereliction of duty, as a matter of course.

A thief is a small matter, but a job done is a big thing.Zhang Tang agreed with Zhuang Qingdi's suggestion.At least, he superficially agrees.And promised to explain to the emperor with Zhuang Qingzhai and apologize. However, Zhuang Qingzhai soon discovered that he had been tricked. Zhuang Qingdi and Zhang Tang went to court together and reported the situation to Liu Che.Zhuang Qingzhai went into battle first, and the show was over in a short while.Then step back and let Zhang Tang also say a few words. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tang didn't move at all, and he didn't intend to lay his back at all.

Zhang Tang didn't move, and Zhuang Qingdi couldn't do anything about it.Then, Liu Che waved his hand and said a few words, roughly meaning that the thieves must be severely punished and those responsible should be held accountable. After speaking, the meeting is over. As soon as the meeting ended, Zhuang Qingzhai became stupid. We can't call Zhuang Qingzhai stupid just because he was tricked by Zhang Tang.At the beginning, when Gongsun Hong and Ji An went to the court, didn't they talk about how to fool the emperor together.As a result, when Ji An finished speaking during the court, Gong Sunhong said another set of words, making Ji An so angry that he wanted to hit someone on the spot.

Zhang Tang is Gongsun Hong's second, which is generally correct.Because the political qualities of the two are exactly the same.Foolish people don't even have an IOU, and what's even more frightening is their tricks of tricking people.That is, if you don't correct it, you must punish the person to death. Zhuang Qingzhai and Ji An were not their opponents at all.However, Ji An was bullied by Gong Sunhong at the beginning, and he dared to expose the opponent's background in front of the emperor.Zhuang Qingzhai was tricked by Zhang Tang, and he didn't even dare to fart.Being played is a trivial matter.What happened next was beyond Zhuang Qingzhai's expectation.

According to reliable information, Zhang Tang is collecting evidence from all parties to prove that Zhuang Qingdi's work was not in place, so that the tomb of Emperor Xiaojing was stolen.He even compiled a line: Don't report what you know. Based on the above article alone, it is estimated that Zhuang Qingdi's position as prime minister will be scrapped, and he may have to live to the end of his life. Insidious, really insidious. I guess Zhuang Qingzhai was in the mood to cry.He has no enmity with Zhang Tang far away, nor has he any grudge with Zhang Tang near him.Why did Zhang Tang want to fix him for no reason?

In fact, Zhuang Qingdi's question is not difficult to answer.Let us sort out Zhang Tang's struggle history to discover the mystery. At the beginning, Zhang Tang was discovered by his father by killing the rats he ate, and became famous from then on; then, he followed his father to the official world and practiced the magical skills of pruning people hard; finally, he and Zhao Yu sorted out the Han law and promoted him; after that, he changed his direction , taking the whole person as a lifelong career.After finishing the small ones, the big ones; after finishing Chang'an, the place was reorganized.All the way, the more you get more addicted, the more you get a bigger official position, and you have been getting into today's Doctor Yushi.

Zhang Tang's whole career has not yet come to an end.Because Doctor Yushi is just a deputy, and there is a prime minister above him.But to climb up, the people above must be pulled down.Not to mention Zhuang Qingzhai, no matter who is on top, Zhang Tang will grab him down. It can only be said that Zhuang Qingzhai was unlucky enough to let him meet such a business robber as Zhang Tang.Since they were all unlucky, and they also ran into each other, there was no way to avoid them.So what to do? Of course not cold. Compared with Ji An, Zhuang Qingzhai was not as brave as him.However, Zhuang Qingzhai had one advantage, which Ji An was far inferior to.That is, Zhuang Qingzhai is very good at asking for help.Soon, Zhuang Qingzhai recruited three helpers.The names of these three people are Zhu Maichen, Wang Chao, and Bian Tong. Of these three people, only Zhu Maichen was a familiar face, and the other two were unfamiliar even with their names and faces.However, the other two can be ignored.Because, among the three, Zhu Maichen was the main character, and the other two came to help. Zhu Maichen, once served as the director of reception for the princes (lord and captain); Dynasty, once served as the special mayor of the capital Chang'an (right internal history); Bian Tong, once served as the prime minister of Jinan.All are minister-level senior officials with two thousand stones. Now, the three of them are all following Zhuang Qingzhai.The positions are all the same: Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Mansion (Prime Minister Chang Shi). In my opinion, whether it is war, or gang fights, or fighting alone, the most powerful force that can make people burst out their wisdom and exhaust their physical strength is not money or belief, but two other things. These two things are fear and hatred. If a person puts hatred and fear together, I believe that ghosts and gods can avoid them, and steel cannons are not enough to fear them.It is precisely that the two ghosts of hatred and fear are like viruses implanted in San Changshi's body.And the attending doctor who successfully operated on them and moved them into the body was of course Zhang Tang. The doctor treats the patient, and the patient treats the doctor.I don't think this is uncommon in all medical malpractice. Why did the three long history hold Zhang Tang in his heart and hate him to the bone?Speaking of this matter, it is very long.But speaking of it, it's not troublesome at all. First of all, Zhang Tang was still a small official when the three chief historians were all mixed up.The so-called ability to mix well means that they are all minister-level cadres, and Zhang Tang is still working hard at the bottom of the officialdom.However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tang was promoted all the way by Liu Che because of his excellent legal practice, and he even climbed to the high position of doctor censor. Being an official is like queuing up for dinner, everything has to be said on a first-come, first-served basis.In officialdom, seniority ranking is obvious.When Ji An was able to hang out, Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang didn't know where to hang out.Later, the two of them climbed up, which made the old man very depressed, and often complained to Liu Che.Liu Che also scolded him for being stupid. When I say this, the meaning should be very clear.Zhang Tang was promoted all the way, even if Zhu Maichen and his seniors did not suffer from pink eye disease, at least they were all uncomfortable. However, this is not the root cause of the hatred between the two factions.Because, in the Western Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for poor people to become officials and become popular all over the world overnight.The Han Dynasty pioneered by Liu Bang was originally built by poor brothers.Since the founding of Liu Bang, the officialdom of the Han Dynasty has always been open to the poor.And when Liu Che became emperor, he was even more eclectic in conferring talents.Whoever is talented will be worshiped as an official.Winning the world with real talents and learning is the right way.It is precisely because of this that Liu Che scolded Ji An for being stupid and should not suffer from political red eyes. But the rules of officialdom games are cruel.When you climb up, it means that you step on others.Of course, it is normal for those who climb high to occasionally look down on those who squat down.The problem is that Zhang Tang has always only believed in strength, but lacks humanistic care in the officialdom.He climbed high, not only aloof, but also triumphant.What's even more frightening is that he deliberately threw stones from a high place to a low place, urinating and insulting him.This is really outrageous. The history books did not explain how Zhang Tang deliberately humiliated Zhu Maichen and others, but there is one thing recorded very clearly.At work, Zhang Tang regards Zhu Maichen and others as petty officials, and always calls out to them vigorously, without looking them in the eye. Whether it hurts others or looks down on it is not important.Importantly, these are intentional. What on earth do I owe you, Zhang Tang, to be so perverted.This is called, dogs look down on people.To make him not low, he must be beaten back to human form, or dismantled and mounted on a tree. It is precisely that Zhu Maichen and others have chosen the latter.Because it would be too cheap to beat Zhang Tang back to his human form.Back then, I, Zhu Maichen, was so poor that my wife ran away and almost starved to death.After several trials and tribulations, he finally came out, hoping that others would treat him as a human being.I didn't expect Zhang Tang, but he didn't treat him as a human being, it was really exciting. In addition, what irritated Zhu Maichen even more was that Zhang Tang did something he shouldn't have done. That is, Zhang Tang killed Zhu Maichen's fellow villagers. The fellow is still secondary, the important thing is that this fellow is Zhu Maichen's great benefactor.This benefactor was Yan Zhu who was beheaded because of the Huainan King's rebellion. At the beginning, Zhu Maichen came to the capital from Wudi to look for a job.Seeing that the food that I brought with me was almost finished, and the work was not settled yet.Just when he was unaccompanied and closed his eyes in despair, Yan Zhu appeared.Yan Zhu recommended Zhu Maichen to Liu Che.After the interview, Liu Che thought he was talented, so he was immediately honored as a doctor of Chinese medicine. Later, Dongyue repeatedly wanted to make trouble with the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Maichen made a plan.After hearing this, Liu Che worshiped Zhu Maichen as the governor of Kuaiji and asked him to deal with the king of Dongyue. Who is Zhu Maichen?Wu people.He is from Wu, and he is still from poor Wu.Liu Che knew about this.Therefore, Liu Che also specially said a word to Zhu Maichen: Wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, and they walk at night like embroidered clothes. These words were not original by Liu Che.The original creator was Xiang Yu who lost to Liu Bang back then.If you are rich and honored and do not return to your hometown, it is like wearing a beautiful dress and walking at night, only ghosts can see it. Therefore, it has always been the dream of scholars, especially poor scholars, to return to their hometowns after being rich.And at that moment, Liu Che fulfilled Zhu Maichen. However, Zhu Maichen is not the kind of frivolous person who is afraid that the world will not know when he wins a big prize.He received the official seal, put on his old clothes, and walked back to the county mansion at a leisurely pace.At that time, the staff of the county mansion didn't pay much attention to him.When Zhu Maichen deliberately showed the seal of the county guard, the staff caught him and took a look.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the seal of the county guard. So, one person exclaimed, became ten people exclaimed, and a hundred people exclaimed.Soon, the Chang'an official car arrived to welcome Zhu Maichen. After the news came out, the whole Kuaiji County exclaimed. To be honest, Zhu Maichen used his prestige severely.Although he didn't do it on purpose, the leaders of Kuaiji County and the masses who welcomed him to the post greatly increased his ambition.It also corresponds to what he said to his wife at the beginning, I will be rich when I am fifty. There is another sentence behind this remark: You have suffered for a long time, and I will repay your merits when I am rich. The translation of this sentence is, you have suffered with me for a long time, and I will repay you when I post it. At the time, his wife thought it was a lie.Because it is a lie, so do not believe it.Not only did she not believe it, but she also divorced and remarried, and married someone who had enough to eat.That man was not bad either. Once the couple saw that Zhu Maichen was dying of hunger, and they gave him food. The ex-wife's meal saved Zhu Maichen, but killed himself.Zhu Maichen returned to his hometown, met his ex-wife, and took him to the car.Then he returned the meal that he owed her back then.As a result, the ex-wife felt humiliated after eating, so she found a rope, and as soon as she hung her head, she disappeared.After death, Zhu Maichen bought the coffin. After showing off, Zhu Maichen did not forget his work.He lived up to Liu Che's expectations and settled Dongyue.Because of his meritorious service, he returned to Chang'an and was worshiped as the lord and captain.For several years, he broke the law for some reason and was dismissed from office.Later, he was worshiped as the prime minister's long history. The above are the basic deeds of Zhu Maichen.No matter how much the world changes, no matter where the footsteps stay, in Zhu Maichen's heart, the kindness of strict assistance will never be forgotten.Without Yan Zhu, there would be no return of prosperity later, let alone his comeback today. However, Yan Zhu died under Zhang Tang's knife.The reason is almost ruthless, just because Yan Zhu is a personal friend of King Huainan.Liu Che said he would not kill him, but Zhang Tang insisted on killing him. You say, if I, Zhu Maichen, don't chop up Zhang Tang's dog days, I am not only ashamed of my benefactor, but also ashamed of myself as a human being! Therefore, between me and Zhang Tang, either you die or I die.What's more, now that Zhang Tang even wants to deal with the prime minister, it's hard to say that the next turn will be the three of them.It's better to strike first and beat him up in groups. In theory, it has never been a disadvantage to have more people beating fewer people.Let's fight!
