Chapter 32: Unparalleled Benevolence and Righteousness Liu Xuande, Loyalty and Filial Piety
"boom!"
Lunu County, Zhongshan State Administration Office.
Prime Minister's Office.
Zhang Chun, who was nearly forty years old, pushed the table away and became furious. He said to the officials on his left and right: "Give me all the troops and horses to kill and rush to Puyin."
"Your Majesty, you must not be angry, Your Majesty."
Shi Mafu, the governor of Zhongshan, advised: "Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is called the emperor's younger brother in the emperor's edict. No one except the emperor and Zongzheng can deal with it. If we touch him even a hair, we are committing rebellion."
capital crime."
Zhongshan State is a feudal state, the prime minister is the prefect, and the chief minister is the county magistrate. In name, the chief minister is the subordinate of the prefect, but in fact there are two systems.
The prefect can recruit subordinate officials by himself, but these subordinate officials are not appointed by the court, and their salaries are also paid by the prefect himself. The long history is an official appointed by the imperial court and has the power to report to the imperial court alone. The two are equivalent to the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
Cheng, one master and one deputy, are not superiors and subordinates in name only.
After hearing Chang Shi's persuasion, Zhang Chun reluctantly calmed down, but his anger remained and he roared: "Liu Xuande is just the prime minister of Qingzhou and Jinan, but he actually takes charge of our Zhongshan Kingdom. This is not crossing the border, it is clearly Yuezhou.
Do you want me to swallow my anger?"
Ma Fu hesitated and said: "For the current plan, we can only report to the court and read Liu Xuande's book. Cross-border jurisdiction is a serious crime. The court will not set this precedent just because he is a prince. He will definitely be punished."
"Changshi is right."
Cao Cao Wang Zheng said: "Now it is their fault, and if we take action, it will be our fault. You should report it to the court."
"this......"
Zhang Chun thought about it and felt that what the two people said made sense. Finally, he sighed and said, "Well, if he is just an ordinary governor, I will definitely send troops to arrest him. Since he is a prince, the truth really has nothing to do with him.
, where are the five senses?"
His facial features came out and he said: "I'm humble."
"Sketch the memorial and send it to Luoyang and the Jizhou governor's office in Yecheng."
"only!"
The five sense organs took the order and left.
This kind of memorial usually has to be written in two copies, one for the emperor and one for the governor.
Although the governor did not have the power to govern the local area, he had the authority to supervise the governor's accusations and could intervene in large and small matters. Therefore, Zhang Chun also had to tell Wang Fen about this matter, which was equivalent to saying hello.
However, Zhang Chun did not know that Wang Fen was a party member and had close relations with Xun He and others. Xun He had secretly made friends with Chen Mu, and the two parties had long been friends.
Therefore, his memorial will definitely not bring any benefit.
Wang Zheng thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, once the memorial is sent out, the people must be controlled. Otherwise, what will happen if they run away? Therefore, they must be trapped in Zhongshan Kingdom. When the imperial decree comes down, they can be captured and imprisoned immediately.
Waiting for the imperial prison car to arrive."
Zhang Chun was overjoyed and said: "That's right. Then we will send troops to Puyin County first. We will not arrest anyone. We will just follow them and not allow them to leave Zhongshan Kingdom. We will arrest them after the emperor's edict arrives!"
When it comes to marquises, local officials cannot deal with it. Under normal circumstances, if a marquis breaks the law, the emperor must first issue an edict, and then cooperate with Zongzheng's Zongrenfu order to first reduce the criminal's title, and then take him to Luoyang.
Zong Zheng and Yan Wei tried together.
Liu Bei is not only the prime minister of a country, but also a prince, and his status is higher than Zhang Chun. Before the court convicts Zhang Chun, if Zhang Chun dares to touch him, it will be a capital crime for the following crimes, so he does not dare to do it now
Arrest people.
However, what Zhang Chun didn't know was that Chen Mu had already made preparations and ordered his horse to go straight to Yecheng to deliver the memorial to Wang Fen one step ahead of schedule.
Wang Fen received the letter, and considering Chen Mu's relationship with the party members, he immediately forwarded it to him and sent it to Luoyang.
A few days later, Luoyang Shangshutai received this memorial from Yecheng.
Today happens to be when Wang Jun is on duty, and the eunuchs control the chancellery, just like the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty controlled the ceremonial department. They have the power to organize memorials and read documents from various places.
When the eunuch Wang Fuhou Lan took control of the government, he hid all the memorials to impeach them and did not show them to the emperor at all.
Wang Jun classified all the memorials into categories and organized them according to the size of the matter. When he saw the memorial sent from Jizhou, he could vaguely see a bamboo slip with the official seal of Jinan Prime Minister Dahong on the front.
Prime Minister of Jinan?
Isn’t that good brother Liu Xuande?
Jinan is clearly in Qingzhou, so why did it become a memorial sent from Jizhou?
Wang Jun was confused, so he took out the memorial, opened it and glanced at it. He was so angry that he hurried to Yutang Hall with the memorial.
Because the imperial palace is too big, the cost of installing floor heating in such a large palace is too high. So far, only Yutang Palace has floor heating, and the emperor almost always lives in Yutang Palace.
After solving the problem of the victims of the Luoyang disaster, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty felt much relieved. After getting money, he returned to himself, singing and dancing every day, enjoying himself very much.
Wang Jun lowered his eyebrows and walked in. He saw the emperor lying on the wooden collapse, holding Queen He in his arms, and the two of them were chatting with each other.
Although the scene was not unsightly, dog food was sprinkled all over the floor. Fortunately, the eunuchs here were either eunuchs without G2 or dancing maids, so the cold dog food was not splashed on their faces.
Zhang asked Zhao Zhong to serve around him. Zhao Zhong saw Wang Jun first and saw him stooping and walking towards him from the edge of the hall. He waved his hand to him, signaling him not to come and disturb the emperor's elegance.
Wang Jun naturally understood, so he stood aside and waited without coming.
Half an hour passed, and it was almost lunch time. After all the dancing and music, the maids and musicians had withdrawn, and when Emperor Han Ling was about to take Queen He to dinner, Wang Jun dared to step forward.
"His Majesty!"
Wang Jun came over and knelt down in front of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty saw him and said with a smile: "Why is Xiang Heng here? Aren't you on duty at the Shangshutai today?"
Because Wang Jun was a good man, he did not compete with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and helped the emperor to introduce Chen Mu, which made him a great contribution. Therefore, he was promoted to a regular servant by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty two days ago, and was granted a title of lord, and his status was no longer among the ten.
Under constant service.
"This is a memorial from the Emperor. Chen Yilang and Jinan Prime Minister Liu Bei returned to their hometown to prepare for the New Year. Unexpectedly, Chen Yilang's parents were raped by powerful officials in his hometown."
Wang Jun avoided the important matter and did not mention the fact that Chen Mu had killed someone.
This is a small trick. First, put Chen Mu in a weak position and let the emperor take the lead. This can reduce the guilt of killing officials.
After all, he was killing an official, and Wang Jun didn't know how the emperor would deal with it.
"Is there such a thing?"
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "Bring me the memorial."
Wang Jun presented the memorial.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty took a quick glance and understood the ins and outs of the matter. His anger gradually decreased, and his expression gradually became hesitant.
Why did Chen Mu kill people, and also officials? This matter is not easy to handle.
"Your Majesty, don't you know how to deal with it?"
Zhang Rang also scanned the contents of the memorial from the side, and when he saw the hesitant expression on Han Ling Emperor's face, he knew what he was thinking.
Liu Hong sighed and said: "Chen Zigui had already killed local officials in a fit of rage. It's not a big deal for him to kill powerful people. He killed officials. This is a county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. How can he just kill someone?"
Zhang Rang said with a smile: "Did your Majesty forget about Dong An and Yang Qiu?"
Dong An and Yang Qiu?
Liu Hong thought for a while before he remembered that both of them were awards for killing people who insulted his mother. Dong An was from the time of Emperor He of the Han Dynasty, and Yang Qiu was from the time of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. They were both dozens of years ago.
Years passed, and he almost didn't remember it for a while.
"Yes, killing your parents out of anger after insulting them is the highest filial piety in the world."
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty slapped his forehead and laughed and said: "With the precedent of Dong An and Yang Qiu, all the officials will not say anything. They will issue an edict to promote Chen Mu as Xiaolian and ask Wang Fen to give him another talented person.
Think of it as a reward, and then publish a list in all states, counties and counties all over the world to publicize this matter. Also, my imperial brother Liu Xuande avenges his brother. This is righteousness and should be listed together so that the names of their loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness can be spread throughout the country.
Qianqiu."
There is no conflict between promoting filial piety and integrity and promoting talents. Many people at that time were eager to promote filial piety and integrity first and then promote talents. This way, the speed of promotion was like a rocket. For example, Yang Ci's son Yang Biao first promoted filial piety and integrity and then promoted talents. Therefore, the two
It is not surprising that both of them appeared at the same time. This was also Emperor Ling's preparation for Chen Mu to become a high-ranking official in the central government in the future, so that he would not attract criticism if he was promoted.
"Your Majesty, Chen Zi returns to impeach Zhang Chun, the governor of Zhongshan Kingdom, for condoning his relatives and oppressing the people."
Wang Jun boldly reminded again.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty thought for a while and said, "Then I will give you an order."
"only!"
Wang Jun took the order and left.
Zhang Chun must have never imagined that Chen Mu's foundation in the imperial court could be said to be as high as heaven.
Even if Liu Bei did indeed cross the border, he would be wronged first. But Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty even found a reason for him. His behavior for the sake of brotherly loyalty was nothing at all. Not only could he not be punished, but he should also be vigorously rewarded.
