Chapter 30 30. Who is an honest person (please vote for further reading)

"Wang Liangdi, are you applying hot compress to your mother again?"

Princess Guantao came into the palace to visit her mother and saw Wang Quan taking the wet wipes from Queen Dou's eyes.

"The prostitute is here?" Queen Dou heard her daughter coming and happily asked the palace maid to help her sit up.

Both mother and daughter inevitably praised Wang Quan again, saying that he was virtuous, virtuous, filial, respectful and humble.

Wang Quan is naturally humble. Is this the praise she wants? "On the Self-cultivation of Actors".

"Mother, I heard that there is an interesting incident in the court." Princess Guantao often told Queen Dou about things outside the palace to help Queen Dou kill her boredom.

"That honest man Shen Tujia gave Deng Tong a lot of treatment!" Princess Guantao said with a smile.

It turned out that Prime Minister Shentujia was meeting with Emperor Wen, and Deng Tong was standing next to Emperor Wen. Shentujia saluted and bowed to the emperor, but Deng Tong didn't know how to avoid it and had no etiquette!

Bah! You, a yellow-headed man who got rich by kneeling down to lick the emperor, do you deserve to accept the worship of the founding hero and the prime minister of our country together with the emperor?! What the hell!!

Shen Tujia suppressed his anger, reported the political affairs, and said to Emperor Wen: "If your Majesty favors his ministers and is close to them, he can make them rich and noble. As for the etiquette of the court, it must be regulated."

Emperor Wen said: "You don't have to say anything, I will warn him privately."

Shen Tujia returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and became increasingly angry as he thought about it. He sent an official document to summon Deng Tong to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He also asked the official to inform him that if Deng Tong refused to come, he would be executed on the spot.

Deng Tong was self-aware and knew that these heroes and the nobles had always looked down upon him. He was very frightened and went to the palace to inform Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen said: "Just go ahead and I will send someone to summon you."

Deng Tong reluctantly came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, took off his hat, barefooted, and kowtowed to Shen Tujia to apologize.

Shen Tujia sat down calmly and reprimanded: "This Han Dynasty is the court of Emperor Gao. You are no match for a mere minister. You dare to be so rude just relying on the emperor's favor. This is a crime of great disrespect and you should be punished."

Sentenced to beheading. Come here! Behead Deng Tong immediately!"

Deng Tong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly until his head bled, but Shen Tujia still refused to forgive him.

Emperor Wen sent an envoy with the emperor's letter to summon Deng Tong, and conveyed Emperor Wen's apology to the prime minister: "This man is the close minister I teased, please forgive him!"

Deng Tong returned to the palace and cried to Emperor Wen: "The Prime Minister almost killed me!"

Princess Guantao and Queen Dou laughed while talking.

"This Shen Tujia is really an honest man!" Empress Dou said, "The court should be in order, strictly follow the etiquette and laws, and do not violate the rules. For those who break the etiquette and laws at will just because they are favored by the emperor, Shen Tujia has always

They are all regarded as criminals who destroyed the Han Dynasty."

Obviously, Prime Minister Shen Tujia wanted to use such an incident to tell Emperor Wen clearly: Be a good emperor and don't engage in bad habits. Otherwise, he, the prime minister, would be the first to refuse.

What does it mean to kill a chicken to show the monkeys? What does it mean to kill one to serve as a warning to others? This is it.

Yes, the honest man Shen Tujia used this method to protect the Han Empire.

"Is this really the case?" Wang Quan asked, "Is it possible that my father and Prime Minister Shentu are acting?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Wang Quan felt a little regretful. She always pretended not to be interested in government affairs.

But she absolutely did not believe that a minister would take the risk of offending the emperor to kill the emperor's favorite jester. With Emperor Wen's method of playing the emperor's power flawlessly, there is something interesting in this!

"Then where is Shen Tujia's origin?" Wang Quan asked.

"Shentujia followed Gaozu in the early years. Later, he launched a rebellion. He helped Gaozu put down the rebellion and was promoted to captain. After the emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Cang became the prime minister and Shentujia became the censor. Later, because Zhang Cang asked to retire, the prime minister

The position is pending."

"The Holy One originally intended to appoint my younger brother as prime minister, but because he had no merit. I was also afraid that the ministers would talk about the Holy One's nepotism, so I resolutely declined."

"The Holy One finally decided to appoint Shentujia and also named him the Marquis of Gu'an. Shentujia was an upright man. He never accepted visits from others privately at home, and did not use his power to form cliques for personal gain." Queen Dou said.

As a founding hero, strictly based on qualifications and abilities, Shen Tujia is not outstanding. Compared with Xiao He, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping, Cao Shen and other veterans who were granted the title of marquis and minister, when the Han Dynasty was first established, he was only a captain, and his level was

It’s not enough. The first generation of meritorious officials in the court are getting old, and the second generation of meritorious officials do not necessarily respect this weak first generation of meritorious officials.

The position of prime minister, the head of hundreds of officials, is equivalent to the German Chancellor, the British Prime Minister or the US Secretary of State. It requires prestige and even more ability. Although Shen Tujia, who was born in the military, is honest and upright, does he have the ability to govern the country? Power and knowledge are probably the only skills.

Required for this position.

In this way, Shentujia's position as prime minister was actually given to him by the emperor because he had no choice. This means that after ascending to the throne of prime minister, whether he can convince the public and establish his authority are important issues facing Shentujia.

The power of the king is granted by God, and the power of the minister is granted by the king. Shen Tujia must win the support of the emperor in order to firmly sit on the throne of prime minister.

As for the Deng Tong incident, it is very likely that Shen Tujia and Emperor Wen sang a double act together, establishing their authority by attacking the emperor's favorite ministers, and killing the monkey to show the chicken.

If you think about it carefully, you can see all kinds of clues.

For example, Emperor Wen said to Deng Tong: "Just go and I will send someone to summon you."

For example, Deng Tong was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, but Shen Tujia still didn't forgive him. If he didn't forgive him, he would just take him out and behead him!

It's just a bluff! Let people kowtow until their heads bleed, and they can't find Bei! This Deng Tong is an honest man!

The prime minister just called Deng Tong to the palace. How did the emperor know that Shen Tujia wanted to kill Deng Tong? He also sent a special envoy to rescue Deng Tong. Emperor Wen and Shen Tujia must have been communicating with each other.

It is even possible that the emperor's envoy is hiding in the residence of Shentu Jiaxiang, watching Huo Huo's appearance!

What about the honest man Deng Tong? The Fool is a young boy with no foundation who only makes fun of the leader. This kind of boy does not need dignity, but he is recognized by everyone as the emperor's favorite, so Shentu Jialiwei is very suitable.

On the contrary, if some ministers in the court who have high self-esteem would lose their face if Shen Tujia did this, they would probably go underground in shame, which would be detrimental to the follow-up work.

Princess Guantao looked at Wang Da who was hesitant to speak, "Wang Liangdi, if you have anything to say, say it!"

Wang Quan hurriedly waved his hand: "People in the inner palace don't understand political affairs, so just listen and laugh."

Princess Guantao told it to Queen Dou as a joke. Can she, Wang Quan, break it into pieces and tell it to them?

Queen Dou was a thoughtful person. In front of her, Wang Quan had always been a filial and obedient little girl who respected her husband and loved her children. How could she let her see into her heart?

The one who forced Wang Quan to submit was Emperor Wen. Shen Tujia and Deng Tong were manipulated by him.

As the founding hero of the country, Shen Tujia's prestige was enough to intimidate the second generation of Gong. His upright and honest character was praised by him and became his golden signature.

The one surnamed Chen, the one surnamed Cao, and the one surnamed Zhou, even though Prime Minister Shentu is not as accomplished as your father, he is your uncle's generation!

Keep your tail between your legs and be careful! Your Uncle Shentu is very strong and iron-headed. Even my most beloved Meng Lang was almost slapped by him!

So, who is the honest person?
