"You don't understand my good intentions at all! You really let me down! Let's go back to your Nanyang."
Liu Hong sighed again, and then looked at Zhang Rang.
"Publish the decree to remove all Zhang Wen's official positions and titles, demote him to a commoner, and never use him again!"
Liu Hong's voice was full of majesty and determination, and could not be questioned by others.
Zhang Wen's whole body was shaking non-stop, and tears immediately flowed down his face.
Zhang Wen could accept the removal of his official position and title, and demoted him to a commoner. The worst he could do was to start over again! But this would never be used again, which completely ruined his career!
Zhang Wen looked at Zhang Rang for help, hoping that Zhang Rang could help him in this critical moment.
Zhang Wen and Zhang Rang were from the same hometown, and Zhang Wen also bribed Zhang Rang many times. This also made the two have a close relationship!
However, Zhang Rang didn't express anything and just shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Rang could not speak and could not speak. He knew that Liu Hong could not control all of this.
Zhang Wen was able to survive because, in Zhang Rang's opinion, it was because of Liu Hong's grace! How many ministers wanted to kill him!
"Zhang...Boshen, let's go, don't embarrass Your Majesty anymore."
Zhang Rang knew that Zhang Wen was unwilling, so all he could do was comfort him.
Liu Hong turned his back to Zhang Wen, raised his right hand and waved to him.
"Let's go, let's go."
Zhang Wen burst into tears, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and said goodbye to Liu Hong.
"Zhang Wen thanks your majesty. I hope your majesty will take care of you."
"Boshen, let's go."
Zhang Rang helped Zhang Wen up and pulled him out.
Zhang Wen left and was completely destroyed by Liu Hong. However, Liu Hong did not feel any joy, but felt even heavier.
The relatives and noble families now dare to openly attack the imperial party. With Zhang Wen's departure, the already difficult imperial party is even worse!
Liu Zhang, this clan relative and his son-in-law, turned out to be Liu Hong's biggest support.
"Liu Zhang, don't let me down when you go!"
Liu Hong often had the illusion that there was an invisible push that forced him to rely more on Liu Zhang.
Naturally, Liu Zhang didn't know about these things about the palace. Early the next morning, he took Wei Jian and his 500 cavalry to Yang County.
Regarding Xu Huang, Liu Zhang was determined to win.
The sudden change at Hangu Pass forced him to change his original plan.
Relying on Xiongguan to defend has completely become a luxury hope! From now on, the most important thing is to defend on the road.
Being in power reminded Liu Zhang of Zhuge Liang and Ma Su. It was because of being in power that Ma Su was ruined and eventually died!
Liu Zhang had never been to the street pavilion, so he did not comment on Ma Su's talents, but it was certainly not something that ordinary people could do. At least not Ma Su.
No matter how stupid and useless Ma Su was, he was once familiar with the art of war and was a talented man valued by Zhuge Liang.
This kind of talent is not good enough, let alone all the messy generals.
But if everyone can't do it, Xu Huang can definitely do it! Xu Huang used tens of thousands of new soldiers to defeat Guan Yu, who was so powerful in China, even though it was long after Xu Huang became famous!
Just by relying on the word "long drive and straight forward", Liu Zhang had no doubts about Xu Huang! I believe that with more than ten years of training, Xu Huang will be even more unstoppable!
After nearly a day of traveling, Liu Zhang and his party finally arrived in Yang County. Under the leadership of Wei Jian, they arrived at Xu Huang's home by a familiar route.
Xu Huang's family lived in a village outside the city. The arrival of hundreds of cavalry plunged the village into panic! Fortunately, the people could recognize that these were soldiers and not bandits, otherwise they would have fled long ago.
"General Hou, here we are, this is Xu Huang's house."
"That's it?"
Liu Zhang looked in the direction Wei Qian pointed, with a look of shock on his face.
The house in front of me is simply too simple, or can it be called a house?
Liu Zhang could even see the damage with his naked eyes. Wouldn't this kind of house become a water curtain cave in the rainy season?
Wei Jian understood Liu Zhang's shock very well, because he had the same expression when he came for the first time.
Although they are well-off and well-fed, they can think of the suffering of the people, but they cannot realize how difficult life is.
"General Hou, Xu Huang's family was poor, and his father died young. Only his mother raised him up. Later, due to an accident, Xu Huang's mother's legs were broken, which made their family even more difficult! Xu Huang worked in Yang County
A civil servant with only a meager income not only has to support the life of his mother and son, but also needs medicine to support his disabled mother."
Liu Zhang was very moved after hearing this. Under such difficult conditions, Xu Huang did not seek refuge with him because he was afraid that no one would pay homage to his mother after her death.
"When Xu Huang is an official in the county, is he being filial and honest?"
Wei Qian smiled softly and shook his head helplessly.
"How could a commoner like Xu Huang have the opportunity to show his filial piety and integrity? If he was not appreciated by the general, he would only be a petty official for the rest of his life."
Although Wei Ji's words are frivolous, it can be said that they are all true. If poor people like this do not have particularly great opportunities, they will have to struggle for food and clothing until they die.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ji's words resonated with Dian Wei, and he thought of his own hard life in the past.
"My lord, what the man named Wei said is right! When I was in Jiwu City, how much land did one person cultivate? But in the end, he was exploited at all levels, and in the end even food and clothing became a problem!"
Liu Zhang did not speak. This phenomenon was a normal phenomenon and was beyond his control. Even hundreds or even thousands of years later, the people would still worry about food and clothing.
What Liu Zhang can do is to allow more people to have enough food and live in a stable social environment. Liu Zhang does not have the naive idea of letting everyone escape from suffering. He just wants to do something that is realistic and allows more people to live in a stable social environment.
People, do your best to make more people live a better life.
"Let's go in and visit the old lady."
Liu Zhang stepped forward and knocked on the door himself. From Taishi Ci's mother Liu Zhang, we can roughly think of Xu Huang's mother. People who can educate such outstanding talents must not be ordinary people.
Dong dong dong...
Liu Zhang knocked on the door several times before a faint voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"Old madam, I am the rear general Liu Zhang, and I came here specifically to see Xu Huang."
Liu Zhang reported his family status directly. In his opinion, whether he could convince Xu Huang or not was entirely up to his mother.
"who!"
Xu's mother's voice trembled. The general was too unfamiliar and unattainable to him!
"I'm following General Liu Zhang!"
"Ah, General Hou? I have difficulty moving. General Hou, please come in!"
Although Xu's mother's voice was weak, Liu Zhang could still clearly hear the nervousness in her voice.
Liu Zhang straightened his clothes, then pushed the door open and walked in. The environment he saw shocked him even more!
Compared to the shabby appearance of the mud house, the inside is even more shocking!
There wasn't even a place to sit in this room, just an earthen bed, and Xu's mother was leaning against the wall.
The room that was supposed to be dark turned out to be extremely bright. Just when Liu Zhang was surprised, a ray of sunlight hit his face, making him understand immediately!
The house was so badly damaged, the roof was just covered with weeds, and there were holes everywhere that were visible to the naked eye!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but think of a poem by Du Fu of later generations!
There is no drying place for the leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like numb feet and has not been stopped!
