Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-Six: Pillowside Lovely Sister-in-Law Fan Zhang Liang Sees Virtue and Offends Xiao Yu

Not long after the army returned from Koryo, Ma Zhou received an important task, which was to try the conspiracy case of Comrade Zhang Liang, the general manager of the Pyongyang Road March. Zhang Liang, who had been squatting in a pit outside Jian'an City for more than a month, also returned to the court. After returning to the court, he was criticized and educated because of his hesitation in attacking.But because of his meritorious service before, he staged a very calm show in Jian'an, so Li Shimin decided not to pursue any investigations, and even rewarded him with a lot of things.For Zhang Liang, especially Zhang Liang who has a good wife, it is easy to feel complacent.

Marrying a good wife affects three generations. Marry a bad wife and ruin the whole family. The enchanting and charming Mrs. Liang has received Zhang Liang's deepest love, and Zhang Liang listens to his wife.When Zhang Liang went out to fight, Liang's sister-in-law was very lonely.Lonely, she likes to go to Taoist temples to find happiness, and talks with Taoist priests at night by candlelight, which is also a common occurrence.One day, a Taoist priest who could tell divination (it seems that Taoist priests can do it) told Mrs. Liang: "A king with a long bow should be the other capital."

Zhang Liang often travels on business, so Mrs. Liang didn't wait for Zhang Liang.She has an affair with a handsome young male singer (actor), which makes Zhang Liang's son very dissatisfied. Zhang Liang's son, Zhang Wei, was actually not born to Mrs. Liang, because Mrs. Liang was Zhang Liang's new wife after he became rich, and his first wife had long since been thrown aside by him.Everyone knows the story of Mrs. Liang and the male singer, but no one dares to tell Zhang Liang.Zhang Liang saw that his daughter-in-law had a fondness for the male singer who was caring for the younger generation, so he decided on his own to let the little singer recognize him as a godfather.

This is a common method used by Zhang Liang. As for why, we will see the outcome soon. In this way, the ordinary adultery smoothly evolved into an affair between the godmother and the godmother, causing a lot of trouble. Mrs. Liang was even more satisfied. Mrs. Liang is also someone who knows some poetry and prose. After a long time, she also yearns for the nobility and elegance of queens and concubines. One day, she finally said to Zhang Liang: "I asked the master to do a fortune-telling, and the master said, 'A king with a long bow should be a different capital'. I thought about it carefully, isn't Mr. Gong long Zhang? You said that our surname is Zhang, who is better than you? Isn't it? ?Do you have?"

Zhang Liang was not surprised, because he had heard a fortune-teller say that his sleeping posture was very similar to that of a crouching dragon (similar to the state of a kitten or a puppy sleeping curled up, you can imagine as much as you like).From then on, he began to recognize his destiny as the real dragon emperor.Of course, the power of Pillow Wind is great, without Pillow Wind, Brother Liang would not dare to rebel.Mrs. Liang's power of blowing the pillow wind is particularly great. After the Eastern Conquest of Korea, Zhang Liang's ambitions were suddenly exposed by virtue of his military exploits.

What made people feel even more disgusting was that many scales (covered by wearing armor) suddenly grew on Zhang Liang's arms. The job of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is boring. Zhang Liang is trying to improve the relationship between husband and wife and do the work that should be done. At the same time, he began to focus on solving the manpower problem. It is impossible to make a revolution without like-minded friends.Zhang Liang understood this truth very well, so he decided to take advantage of his position and power to recruit some strong-backed men, regardless of their age, to treat them as godsons.The sudden increase in the number of godsons largely satisfies brother Liang's spiritual needs and sister-in-law Liang's physical needs.With the joint efforts of the couple, Comrade Zhang Liang soon had more than 500 sons. Among them, Gongsun Chang is the most famous.Gongsun often knows gossip, and once persuaded Zhang Liang on behalf of Mrs. Liang.

After Zhang Liang got off work, he went to chat with Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying (Warlock). One day, when he came home and saw Mrs. Liang, the first thing he said was: "My name should be prophesied!" Aunt Liang showed a rare smile because of this, and came over to undress Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang suddenly touched his arm: "Also, I have grown dragon scales!" ... Too much fart becomes methane gas, and too many lies become truth. Zhang Liang's behavior made a man named Chang Dexuan couldn't stand it anymore, and he played Zhang Liang's story to the court.Rebellion was a major court case, and the person who conspired was Zhang Liang, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Therefore, Li Shimin decided to let Ma Zhou, who was fair, handle the matter.Ma Zhou was born in poverty, so Zhang Liang naturally looked down on him. When he was interrogated, he insisted that Qingshan would not relax.

"Do you remember what the warlock said?" "I believe in Buddhism, but I don't." "So many sons with thick backs and waists, what are they used for?" "I love Buddhism, it's doing good deeds." "Has your wife Li ever participated?" "...Who told you this?" ... Zhang Liang's mouth is really hard. Ma Zhou tried for a long time, but found nothing, so he had to go to the court. After Li Shimin heard about it, he went to the court and asked all the officials: "Zhang Liang has five hundred adopted sons. Why does he raise so many people? I think he wants to rebel. What do you think?" There was a heated discussion, and finally, everyone agreed that Zhang Liang really wanted to rebel.

Zhang Liang, who committed a capital crime, was taken to Chang'an West City and beheaded under the circumstances of sufficient evidence. With the deceased, Cheng Gongying, a sorcerer. As for Mrs. Liang, there is no record of her fate in the history books. It is estimated that she was used as an official servant and went to Yeting to wash clothes.Zhang Liang, it's okay, don't mess around. In fact, the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment cannot be done without Zhang Liang. When all the officials accused Zhang Liang one after another, only one person stood up to express his opposition.This person is Li Daoyu who is in the Ministry of Punishment.When the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments ran out of candidates, Li Shimin felt that it would have been better to spare Zhang Liang earlier, but it was a pity that he was not given a chance.Li Shimin said: "Li Daoyu once said that Zhang Liang should not be killed no matter what. This is true. I didn't listen to it until the end, and now I really regret it!"

On that day, Li Daoyu was appointed as the servant of the Ministry of punishment. Li Shimin was very grateful to Zhang Liang, knowing that he believed in Buddhism, he once joked with him, saying: "Since Aiqing loves Buddhism so much, why doesn't she go out?" Of course Zhang Liang pretended to work hard, saying that he could not become a monk, because becoming a monk would affect social unity.Zhang Liang did a decent job in the criminal department, but unfortunately, soon, he was involved in the treason case.After Zhang Liang was killed, he didn't know what happened, and he didn't know who touched Song Guogong Xiao Yu's fragile nerves.When Li Shimin was resting, he suddenly came to him, and seeing his dissatisfied face, Li Shimin asked:

"What is Song Gong doing?" Seventy-year-old Xiao Yu said angrily like a child: "Your Majesty, I want to become a monk!" Li Shimin laughed and was angry, and looked at Xiao Yu inexplicably, this filial piety moved the world, and a very talented minister of the bones, how could he suddenly want to become a monk?After thinking for a while, Li Shimin suddenly understood, and said to Xiao Yu angrily: "I also know that you like Buddhism, you yearn for Buddhism, you want to purify the six senses, you can go as you like, why don't you ask me for advice!" Xiao Yu got Li Shimin's affirmative answer, and left contentedly. Half an hour later, Xiao Yu suddenly came back again with a solemn expression: "I thought about it just now, I can't become a monk!" Li Shimin was so angry that his stomach hurt, and he scolded him.Xiao Yu heard that the emperor hated her behavior, and became more and more unhappy. Back home, he lay on the bed pretending to be dead and remained still, determined to call himself sick from today onwards.But later, people still found Xiao Yu on the road. He didn't match anyone's accent, and just kept his head buried in walking.When I arrived at the court hall, I stood at the door of the hall and refused to come in out of anger.Li Shimin can stand everyone, but he can't stand Xiao Yu like this.What's even more frightening is that Xiao Yu seems to be out of order, and begins to severely expose the crimes of important court officials. He finally entered the court, and the first thing he did was to sue Fang Xuanling for being suspected of forming a clique for personal gain.He said repeatedly that this Fang Xuanling was playing with Chao Gang and intending to rebel. Li Shimin was almost stunned by him, and asked, "Do you have evidence?" Xiao Yu first explained some basic facts. For example, Fang Xuanling likes to make secrets by himself, and dares to make decisions without discussing with others (this is what Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling to do).Another example is when Fang Xuanling met Xiao Yu, Duke of Song, on the road, and he didn't even have a heart-warming word, which made Xiao Yu very hurt. Li Shimin asked him, "That means you are going to sue Xuanling for treason?" Xiao Yu was a little emotional, and he said with certainty: "Your Majesty, you don't know the details, so he hasn't responded! (Your Majesty doesn't know the details, but he hasn't responded.)" Li Shimin suddenly became angry: "Don't go too far with your words. People can't be blamed for everything. Take the short and take the long. Although I'm not smart, I'm not that stupid!" Xiao Yu still had something to say, but was blocked by Li Shimin's anger. He was very depressed, but for the future of Datang, he was determined to fight the evil forces to the end, so his exposure to other people became more and more rampant.But student Xiao Yu suddenly discovered that the emperor Li Shimin seemed unwilling to answer him.After confirming that Li Shimin really hated him, Xiao Yu was completely heartbroken.Coincidentally on this day, Li Shimin reprimanded Xiao Yu in public, cut off his title, and got him to be the governor of Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Since ancient times, loyal ministers have always ended up like this. Thinking about Bigan, Xiao Yu suddenly felt a little desolate. What else is there to say? The villain is in power, the country will not be the country! Student Xiao Yu is so sure that Fang Xuanling has unruly psychology, is there any basis for it? Have. Here's the thing: When the Tang army conquered Korea, Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling was in charge of the affairs of the capital.One day, someone suddenly reported to Fang Xuanling that someone was planning to rebel.Fang Xuanling was shocked, and asked: "Who is it?" The man stood upright, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "It's you!" Fang Xuanling immediately dispatched a fast horse to send the report letter of that person Delivered to Li Shimin.After Li Shimin saw it, he was very angry and asked the envoy to go back and cut off the person who falsely accused Fang Xuanling. Moreover, he personally wrote to Fang Xuanling: "Aiqing is too unconfident. If you do this again in the future, you can handle it yourself." In the eyes of colleagues, Fang Xuanling is really a person worthy of association.He works day and night, doing his best, and never misses a single talent.When he handles cases, he is generally very sensible, and he tries his best to convince people while abiding by the laws and regulations.Moreover, he never begged others to be grateful to him, and he never asked others to do something for him.He knows that others have good points, so he will talk about them everywhere; when others make mistakes, he will pull them over to persuade them. It is such a person that people say he is a virtuous prime minister. Is not it? Xiao Yu thinks not, not because Xiao Yu is bad. Another point, Xiao Yu may have drawn this inference: Yang Jian was afraid of his wife, so he rebelled; Luo Yi was afraid of his wife and turned against him; Zhang Liang was afraid of his wife and turned against him; Fang Xuanling was afraid of his daughter-in-law, wouldn't he rebel? ! Therefore, like the above three, Fang Xuanling will also rebel. Just kidding, in fact, it is impossible for everyone who holds an important job to guarantee perfection. It is wrong to be too harsh, because it is wrong to bury a person with super ability because there is no big deal.Fang Xuanling is very popular, while Xiao Yu is not. Two people living in different worlds cannot understand each other at all.However, virtuous ministers are also human beings, and they also need the lives of ordinary people. When it comes to living at home, Fang Xuanling is indeed unqualified. His wife is well known to everyone, she is definitely the boss of shrews and the leader of fierce women.It is said that this woman pioneered the "jealousy" of Chinese women.
