He likes to eat meat, drink, beauties, hunt, horses, carriages, gorgeous clothes, music, hawks, and he basically likes anyone who has something to do with the foolish emperor.
And among His Majesty’s many hobbies, there is a very prominent point, that is, listening to good things.
Your Majesty has shown this when he was very young, only listening to half of his words, sometimes even listening to the beginning, listening to praise himself, and automatically omitting the latter.
At this point, this hobby has become particularly prominent. The emperor specifically asked the Yuefu to draft poems to praise him. Once there was any activity, he asked the Yuefu to play music that praised his merits. He even left a place in three kilometers.
He is with him every day to listen to his flattery... This kind of character is reflected in governing the country, which means he is very happy to be successful. Your Majesty is not ordinary, he is very happy to be successful. He has to pay attention to any kind of credit. In the holy story of a slander, he even
This mentioned His Majesty's outstanding contribution in the battle for hegemony in the Chu-Han Dynasty, although His Majesty was not yet born at that time...
Many of the contributions of the First Emperor, the great Emperor, and even the queen mother's contributions all became the contributions of the elders.
This kind of character who is very enthusiastic about merit actually brings certain benefits. For example, Your Majesty is willing to spend a lot of financial resources to make cotton coats and make coal. In order to achieve the so-called achievement of everyone having clothes, it can be said that he has no choice.
This is also beneficial to the people. Although there are still people who are frozen and killed, there are certainly benefits.
For the ministers, they don’t care whether the people died of freezing or illness… As long as His Majesty is happy and has made meritorious contributions, everyone will leave their reputation in history together. How great is it!
But no one expected that Huncuo would point out this problem when His Majesty was happiest.
The ministers really couldn't figure it out. The cotton coat was mainly handled by Chao Cuo.
If no one freezes to death, you will also leave your name in history. Why bother? Why do you have to raise it at this time? Isn’t this just slap His Majesty directly?
The last one who slapped His Majesty in the face is still farming in Qiao County!
Chao Cuo's slap was much more cruel than Xia Wuqie. He could say that he swelled Liu Chang's face in one go.
The ministers could see that His Majesty was very angry.
Your Majesty rarely remained so silent, as if it was calm before the storm, but Chao Cuo was not afraid at all. He said seriously: "Your Majesty... If you have one time, you will be promoted by local officials through such fake political achievements, then this will
Become a routine, and more and more people will imitate it in the future. In the end, everything will become an illusion to fool Your Majesty. Your Majesty will have a false prosperity. There are many female thieves in the court, and they only care about Your Majesty.
The rewards are only about their own reputation, and they don’t care about the people.”
"You once asked me what the Censor does."
"I think the Censor wants to tell the truth to His Majesty and seek justice for the people!!"
"This time I just turned frozen and killed by death... But the next time, I might say hunger to fullness and poverty to wealth. I cannot let Your Majesty reward such people! I must not allow all the ministers to deceive Your Majesty! I must not allow all the ministers to deceive Your Majesty!
!! Let Your Majesty see a false prosperous age!!”
Zhang Cang raised his head and looked at Chao Cuo, as if he was relieved.
The gloom on Liu Chang's face slowly disappeared.
"What you said makes sense."
"The prosperous era I want to create for the Han Dynasty... should not be fraud."
"You can just catch it!"
"Chao Cuo said frankly and advised me that he would be of great contribution! He would be promoted to a title and be granted the title of Marquis of Ting!!!"
"I like fame and fame...but this fame cannot be false... If someone dares to fool me...execute me!!"
Liu Chang suddenly took a photo of the case in front of him, stood up angrily, and left here.
The ministers were stunned. They thought that Chao Cuo was going to die here today... Unexpectedly, His Majesty not only did not kill him, but also appointed him as a marquis!
The ministers suddenly did not dare to underestimate Chao Cuo... The first time they looked at this man, Chao Cuo and their actions suddenly formed a sharp contrast. These people usually regard themselves as talented people.
The person who lost to this person with the reputation of a female thief in character made them feel a little guilty. I reflected again, do I really have the courage to report impeachment when His Majesty is so happy?
Chao Cuo said nothing and turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang Buyi grabbed his arm.
"Do you have to say it at this time?"
"Do you know how long your Majesty has been fighting?! Do you know how much your Majesty wants to see this prosperous age?!"
"So I have to follow you to fool Your Majesty?"
Chao Cuo suddenly pulled his hand out and cursed at Zhang Buyi: "You call yourself a loyal and kind person, but at this time you help the female thief hide his majesty... What kind of loyal and kind person are you? You are just a pest like Confucianism.
!”
Zhang Buyi sneered, not affected by Chao Cuo's words at all, "This was a good opportunity to inspire the ministers and inspire the world... It was destroyed by you... Let the worried Majesty be happy for a day or two,
Tell him when there is no one... What's wrong with this... I think you are selling direct names. You just want to leave your reputation in history books..."
"I just did what a censor should do..."
The two fought against each other, and just as the two were about to take action, Lu Lu suddenly walked over, "Censor Chao, Your Majesty, please go to Houde Hall for reward."
Chao Cuo snorted coldly, "I'm going to get my reward. Zhang Zuoxiang, please give way!"
When Chao Cuo walked into Houde Hall, he subconsciously looked at the wall and his arms began to hurt again.
Liu Chang sat in the upper position and seemed to have calmed down a lot of anger.
Chao Cuo hurriedly knelt down, "I have ruined Your Majesty's elegant delight, please forgive me!"
"Forget it... the fake is always fake. I am just a little disappointed... I have always wanted to protect the Han people and keep them away from war, hunger, cold... I have been doing it for so long..."
As Liu Chang said, his voice became a little weaker and he didn't say anything more, looking a little lonely.
But soon, he cheered up again. He raised his head and looked at Chao Cuo, "You are doing a good job... The Censor, advised the king, supervised all officials, and protected the people... Yes, this marquis, it's you
Deserved."
"I not only want to promote your title... I also want to reward your gorgeous clothes! I want to reward you with money!"
"I allow you to come to Houde Hall to find me without having to report your name in the future!"
Chao Cuo was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
"And... I'm very ill recently. The imperial physicians said that I need to exercise more... I'll ask you to get a close servant, so you can stay by my side at any time and practice with me..."
Liu Chang clenched his fist and made a crackling sound. Chao Cuo thought to himself that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty...I am weak and powerless..."
"No! I see that when you impeach today, you are full of energy! Your voice is loud! I wish I could stand on the city wall and shout..."
Chao Cuo swallowed, "No. ..."
......
The Gongyang School was collectively arrested and almost wiped out.
Because of his age, Gong Yangshou was exempted from corporal punishment, but he paid a huge fine and may have to go to Longxi for a year...
Hu Wusheng was dismissed from his position and stayed at home to reflect on his mistakes.
Gongsun Hong was also demoted and fined money... It is said that he really couldn't pay the fine, and it was Dong Zhongshu's family who paid the money on his behalf.
Only Liu Ci and Dong Zhongshu were not punished.
Liu Ci excitedly said that from today on, he will be the elder of the Gongyang School. Dong Zhongshu assisted him and the two of them wanted to revive their family.
Hu Wusheng stayed at home, stopped going out, and focused on studying, and there were more and more articles in the newspaper.
Gongsun Hong continued to work in the county government office as before, but the treatment was different from the past.
Although the Gongyang School suffered a huge blow this time, Hu Wusheng became famous all over the world. The entire Gongyang School gained a huge reputation. Countless young people began to look for books from the Gongyang School, and the students in the Imperial Academy were even more
The streets were crowded and they rushed to come to pay homage to Mr. Hu.
Gongsun Hong was also very popular because of this incident
The respect of colleagues is closer to everyone than in the past.
"Gongsun Jun is here!!"
When Gongsun Hong arrived at the county government office, his colleagues stood up with a smile to pay homage. Gongsun Hong had originally been the Chang'an Wei, but now he has been demoted and served as a thief Cao under his disciple.
But his colleagues still respected him very much. When he came to report to Chang'an Cheng, Chang'an Cheng even stood up to salute.
"Mr. Zhang...No."
"Oh, just call me... Why are you so polite? Come, please sit down."
The Chang'an Cheng's surname is Zhang and his name is Zhang Li, and his relationship with Gongsun Hong is quite good.
It is also very amazing to be a county magistrate in Chang'an. This person has no background and can reach his current level all depends on himself. He is also a very talented person.
Gongsun Hong did not dare to sit next to him, but still stood up to report on his work.
Zhang Li was very satisfied, "I trust you in doing things... I want to hold a banquet at home to entertain you today... I wonder if you can come?"
"Mr. Zhang...is afraid it's a bit inappropriate.
"Hahaha, I'm not trying to bribe you, but because I respect your virtue and want to invite you to sit in the shabby house. Do you look down on me, the county magistrate?"
Zhang Li said this, and Gongsun Hong was not willing to refuse any more, so he agreed to his request.
Zhang Li was ecstatic and decided on time with him.
Gongsun Hong's job is still very simple. His current official position is equivalent to the "criminal police captain". If there is a major case, he will take people to solve the case and arrest him, record it in the book, and report it up... and he was originally equivalent to
"Director".
Gongsun Hong was very punctual. At the moment when the time agreed with Zhang Li arrived, he knocked on the door of Zhang Li's family.
Zhang Li was dressed formally, and happily took his hand and invited him into the house.
Zhang Li's family is not very wealthy and has no slaves. His wife died during the second childbirth and only has one son in the family.
The child was only ten years old, looked quite like a father, with thick eyebrows. After Gongsun Hong came in, he stared at Gongsun Hong up and down, as if he was scrutinizing the prisoner. Zhang Li was furious and scolded: "It's not OK yet."
See you on weekdays?!”
"Meet Zhongfu!"
Gongsun Hong returned the gift and sat in the courtyard with Zhang Li. Zhang Li arranged the wine, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the meat now... Let's barbecue while eating wine... I have a lot of things I want to ask you for advice...
Zhang Li said, and went to the warehouse.
Soon, Zhang Li's roar came from the warehouse. Gongsun Hong was stunned and looked around. He saw Zhang Li whipping his son. The child did not escape, contradict, or even shouted.
He just held his head and let his father whip it.
Gongsun Hong hurried forward and stopped Zhang Li.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Li was extremely angry, "The meat at home was stolen by the mouse!! This guy!! Didn't I let you look at the meat? The meat I prepared specifically to welcome the guests!! You guy!!!"
He was about to beat him, but Gongsun Hong hurriedly said, "Not hindrance...no hindrance, no wonder the children, we just eat some wine..."
Gongsun Hong pulled the angry Zhang Li away.
The child then grinned and rubbed the beaten place, his eyes full of anger. He walked into the warehouse, squatted on the ground, looked carefully for a long time, picked up a hoe from the side, and pointed it at the mouse hole.
Position, start to take action suddenly.n
At this moment, Zhang Li was eating wine with Gongsun Hong, and he didn't hear any movement in the warehouse at all.
Zhang Li asked about some ways to deal with the case, but Gongsun Hong did not hide his own personal information and told the other party everything he knew.
In the warehouse, the child quickly dug open the rat hole. He stepped on the frightened mouse, pinched the mouse in his hand, squatted at the entrance of the hole and searched for it, and found a lot of meat. He tied the mouse
He got up, sat in the upper seat, with meat beside him.
"Today's trial of the case of thieves and rats stealing meat in the Zhang family warehouse!"
"Bold thief! Tell me the truth! Now the physical evidence is here, if you can confess your guilt,
The criminal law can be exempted!!!”
The mouse was tied up in all directions, and at this moment it was just squeaking in horror.
"Bold! You dare to refute!"
"Come! Appellant!"
"Squeak~"
"Come on! Get physical evidence!"
"This meat is fresh, it is stolen recently, it is beef, which matches the meat lost by the Zhang family! The thief and rats chew on the meat, and the tooth mark matches the tooth mark on the leftover meat in the warehouse!"
"Squeak~"
"According to the crime of theft in the second year of the Han Dynasty, you are a burglary! You refuse to plead guilty, and the officials want to escape when they arrest you... In order to injure innocent people for you! According to the sentencing regulations, they are
The stolen goods are meat, and the stolen rules say: Those who steal horses die, and those who steal cattle add it! The meat is beef, which is precious!"
"You are sentenced to death now!"
"If you are dissatisfied, you can appeal!"
"Do you want to appeal?"
"Squeak~~"
"Okay, since you don't appeal, you'll be executed immediately!"
"Squeak~~~~~~~~~~"
When Zhang Li was drunk and pulled Gongsun Hongchang to talk about his knowledge and eat wheat rice, his son walked out with something.
"Father! I have caught the criminal!"
"What sin..."
Zhang Li was holding the dish and was about to put it in his mouth, and saw the unadulterated person in his son's hand... Oh, a mouse that was not in a rat shape.
At that moment, the dishes in my hand were immediately unable to eat.
Zhang Li suppressed his anger and took a deep breath, "Get out!!"
"Father, this is the criminal who steals meat! This is my disposal document! Please check it out!"
Gongsun Hong took the document curiously and looked down. At that moment, Gongsun Hong's eyes lit up and he looked at it a few more times, "Zhang Gong... Your son is pretty good..."
Zhang Li also took the document and read it carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became, "How did you know these?"
"You went over and took me to the county government, and I learned it secretly."
"There are also good things...but, it's just the crime of theft, why do you have to impose such a cruel criminal law?"
"How can one establish authority if the law is not strict?"
Zhang Li immediately laughed, looked at Gongsun Hong beside him, and said, "My son is still good!"
Gongsun Hong hesitated for a moment and nodded, "It's indeed smart."
"Look, your Gongyang School is so upright. If I, a child, join your school...will it be just right?"
Gongsun Hong was stunned.
Do you have any misunderstandings about our Gongyang School?
This child is a natural legalist!!
I'm afraid he's even more cruel than Chao Cuo when he grows up. You asked him to learn Confucianism???
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate... But I have a few friends from the Legalists who may be able to teach him... By the way, I don't know what your name is yet?"
Gongsun Hong looked at the child.
The child bowed to him, "Father Zhong! My name is Zhang Tang!"
......
In the martial arts palace, Chao Cuo flew out and fell to the ground with a scream.
The soldier closed his eyes with some difficulty.
This is not just a training with Your Majesty, this is simply a scarecrow for Your Majesty.
Chao Cuo got up with difficulty, clapped his hands and shouted, "Your Majesty's magical martial arts!"
Liu stood proudly in front of him, moving his muscles and bones.
Not far away, Liu Ci was secretly poking his head out, watching Ah Father throwing the minister here, watching with relish, Dong Zhongshu stood helplessly beside him, "Your Highness... It is a death sentence to peek at the emperor."
"What are you afraid of... I'm less than fifteen years old!"
Dong Zhongshu pursed his lips, but Liu Ci shouted, "It's so good to fall! I'll kill this dog thief!"
"My father told me not long ago that he should be generous and not cause trouble for Chao Cuo. Chao Cuo swept his good mood and he started to hit people.
…Ah Father is really suitable for our Gongyang School…”
Dong Zhongshu said seriously: "Censor Chao said bluntly that Your Majesty has rewarded him. Your Majesty knows that Censor Chao has worked all year round and is weak and sick. For his health, he personally accompanied him to exercise. The Son of Ming Dynasty!!"
Liu Ci glanced at him, "You are really getting more and more..."
At this moment, Liu Chang once again threw Chao Cuo to the ground very beautifully. Liu Ci couldn't help it anymore and jumped happily.
Liu Changze pulled Chao Cuo up and shouted to him, "Zhu Zi! Get out!"
Liu Ci pulled Dong Zhongshu and walked out with a smile.
"Father, Censor Chao said bluntly that you rewarded him. You know that Censor Chao worked hard all year round and was weak and sick. For his sake, he personally accompanied him to exercise. The Son of Ming Dynasty!!!"
Dong Zhongshu was stunned, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Chang laughed loudly.
"When did you start talking?"
"After getting twenty military sticks..."
Liu Chang rubbed his head, looked at Chao Cuo on the side, and asked, "What do you think about the county school reform that Mr. Lu said today?"
"I think...innovation is still necessary...
"
Chao Cuo said his thoughts, and Liu Ci was dozing off. However, Dong Zhongshu said unhappily: "Your Majesty ruled the world, and there is no place that needs innovation. It is still said to be perfect and appropriate..."
Chao Cuo was stunned and looked at the little guy.
He looked at Liu Chang with uncertainty and asked:
