Chapter 104: Taking retreat as advance to bully ministers
Chapter 104: Using retreat as advance to bully the ministers
Liu Zhang did not deny it, and the imperial censor smiled very proudly. You know, these censors rely on impeachment to make ends meet. If the impeachment is successful, they will be promoted to a noble position; if the impeachment fails, even if they are falsely accused and rebelled, they can still make a profit.
Not afraid of the name of the powerful. But when the imperial censors impeached ministers, which minister did not deny everything and had to produce evidence before he would bow his head and plead guilty. Liu Zhang was such a bachelor, which surprised the censors. However, after thinking about it,
, the censor doctor was relieved. After all, Liu Zhang is a member of the Han clan. As long as he does not rebel, bringing a woman into the military camp, even if he turns the military camp into a brothel, is not a big sin. Besides, Liu Zhang attacked Wuhuan Mountain
Where is the credit for wiping out the Yellow Turbans?
"Since the champion has admitted it, please Your Majesty to punish the champion for violating military discipline!" The imperial censor wanted to make a strong order, but he didn't know that Liu Hong wanted to deal with him now.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Liu Zhang said, "Actually, the name of the woman I brought into the camp is Zhang Ning. She is the daughter of the Yellow Turban thief Zhang Ning. I am still hiding and covering up the crimes committed by the imperial court. Please
Your Majesty will punish you!"
"Uh..." The imperial censor was stunned, Liu Hong was stunned, and the civil and military officials of the entire court were stunned. How big a crime is it to protect the family members of rebels? Is Liu Zhang looking for death? Everyone in the court thought so, but Liu Zhang showed a
A meaningful smile!
Liu Hong laughed loudly and said: "Imperial brother, you must not make such a joke in the court!"
"Brother, I'm not joking!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "As the general who led the army in the crusade against the Yellow Turban bandits, and was also the general who returned to the court victoriously, I just found a woman to take care of my daily life during the march. These idiots
Just chirp. You know, there are still camp prostitutes in the army. What does it mean for me to find a woman? Since some people are using this matter to criticize me, why not play it bigger. I not only brought that woman into the military camp,
He also brought her home. The woman's name was Zhang Ning. Instead of waiting for people to say that she is Zhang Jiao's daughter because of her surname Zhang, and accuse my brother of harboring filth and evil intentions, it is better for me to plead guilty now.
Brother Emperor, please punish me!"
When Liu Hong saw this situation, how could he not understand that Liu Zhang was angry. Think about it, anyone who has made such a great contribution and was criticized by outsiders would not be able to explain it if he was not angry in his heart. However, Liu Hong didn't know that Liu Zhang
What he said was half true and half false. Zhang Ning was indeed Zhang Jiao's daughter. Liu Zhang's pretense made the truth blurry.
"Your Majesty, please don't act on your own initiative!" Liu Hong's face was as dark as water, and outsiders thought he was angry. It must be said that Liu Zhang and Liu Hong had a tacit understanding more and more.
Liu Zhang sighed and said: "My brother has been in Luoyang with his father since he was five years old, and he is very loved by your majesty. I want to do something for your majesty, but there are some evil spirits who can't see it. To be honest, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, my brother
, the official position is really nothing to my brother. After fighting Zhang Jiao, there were people around me saying that the merits are too great to surpass the master, and the bird is gone and the bow is hidden. In this case, I would like to resign Guang Luxun and General Hussar.
I only retain the title of Champion Marquis. If the court needs it, I will come out to serve again. If the court is stable and the emperor is healthy, I am willing to find a mountain forest to live in seclusion, away from these dirty people who only know intrigues but do not think about the court.
Villain!"
"Failed!" Yuan Wei felt very miserable in his heart. He originally wanted to use the imperial censor as a stepping stone, but Liu Zhang would definitely deny it in every possible way. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was such a bachelor and would retreat in order to advance. Yuan Wei's plan failed completely.
.
"You don't have to be like this, my dear brother, I keep your great achievements in my heart!" Liu Hong was silent for a long time, feeling quite guilty. After Liu Zhang defeated the Yellow Turban Thief, he also became afraid of Liu Zhang. Many people secretly wrote to him, saying
Liu Zhang had evil intentions, and he even wanted to harm Liu Zhang. But now that Liu Zhang has really resigned, Liu Hong's heart is empty.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Emperor, I am only sixteen years old this year, and I have won several battles by luck. Thinking about it, I really haven't studied hard. Now that the world is at peace, I also want to be a happy marquis.
What is Guang Luxun and a hussar general? I can’t do it, and I don’t want to do it.”
"This..." Liu Hong knew that Liu Zhang was sad, and he couldn't help but smile: "Since the emperor doesn't want to do it, I won't force you! It's better to be like before, with you holding the positions of Guang Luxun and Hussar General.
, how about taking charge of the Huben camp?"
"Brother Huang has said so. If my brother refuses again, wouldn't it mean that he doesn't know what's good?" After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Wei, as if to say that he didn't know what was good. Yuan Wei's face suddenly became livid.
Liu Hong was sitting on the high platform, and it was clear what the ministers below were doing. He was very satisfied when he saw Liu Zhang provoking Yuan Wei. Just when the courtiers were quarreling about Liu Zhang, a small yellow doorman spoke in Zhang Rang's ear
As he said something, Zhang Rang's expression changed drastically. Seeing that Zhang Rang's expression was wrong, Liu Hong asked, "What happened!"
Zhang Rang did not dare to deceive, and immediately leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"
Liu Hong said expressionlessly: "Send it over!"
"According to the decree!" As soon as Liu Hong's words came out, Xiao Huangmen came to the hall holding two memorials.
Usually when going to court, Zhang Rang would read out memorials and imperial edicts. Zhang Rang picked up a memorial and opened it, and his hand suddenly shook. Seeing Zhang Rang's hesitation, Liu Hong couldn't help but said angrily: "Why haven't you read it out yet?"
?”
"Yes!" Zhang Rang opened the memorial in a cold sweat and read: "I am reporting to Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang: After Champion Hou defeated Zhang Mancheng, Nanyang Yellow Turban thieves reappeared, and Zhao Hong gathered more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans to occupy Wancheng again. I and
I fought with him several times and was defeated by him. I am writing this letter to ask for the imperial court's support!"
"Trash!" Liu Hong said angrily after hearing this: "Zhang Jiao is dead, and you can't even deal with a little Zhao Hong, so why does the court support you!"
"I am incompetent, your Majesty, please calm down!" Liu Hong became angry. All the courtiers bowed down and bowed down. Only Liu Zhang sat with his head held high.
Zhang Rang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, here is another report..."
"Read it!" Liu Hong was very angry.
Zhang Rang picked up another battle report and read it again with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, reported to your majesty: The Qiang and Yuhan were first eliminated in the north, and the Heguan group rebelled, and they jointly established Huangzhong Yi from Hu Beigong Boyu
, Li Wenhou became the general, and killed Lingzheng, the guard of the Qiang school. Han Suisu, a native of Jincheng, was famous in Xizhou. He was lured and robbed by bandits, and he was appointed as a full-time military and political officer. He killed Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng, and attacked Shaozhou County. I was defeated by the Hulu and invited the court.
Send reinforcements quickly!"
"Bang!" A porcelain bowl was smashed on the ground, and Liu Hong said angrily: "It's reversed! It's all reversed! Is this world still the Han Dynasty's world, or is it my world!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" A group of ministers lay on the ground and did not dare to move!
Liu Zhang cupped his fists and said: "Of course the world belongs to the Han Dynasty. There are some clowns. Why should the emperor be so angry to avoid hurting the dragon's body? My brother recommends several people to defeat those little men with ease!"
"Yeah!" Liu Hong snorted coldly: "The civil and military forces of the court will only make me calm down, but only champions can serve me. What do you think the court does for raising you? Will it lead to intrigue!"
"My brother dare not be your Majesty's false praise!" Liu Zhang bowed and said: "Since Dong Zhuo has asked for help, it means that the bandit army is powerful. He can order Zhang Wen and Zhang to temporarily act as the cavalry general. He will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! As for Wancheng Yellow Turban, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song All can be pacified! Of course, military affairs are unpredictable, and if several generals cannot pacify it, then let me take action!"
Liu Hong said with a smile: "The emperor's brother is really old enough to seek the country. Zhang Wen, I order you to temporarily act as the general of chariots and cavalry. I wonder if you can defeat the Liangzhou rebels?"
Zhang Wen straightened up and said: "Your Majesty has given orders, how dare I disobey you? I ask your Majesty to order Sun Jian to join the military!"
"Exactly!" Liu Hong was very happy to see that both rebellions were resolved under Liu Zhang's words. He shook his head and said with a smile: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and tumble knows the loyal ministers. It's ridiculous that those young men often trap the champions and don't want to be in danger." At this time, only the champion Hou Zhongzhi can assist the country. Since the emperor's younger brother does not want an official position, then he will reward a thousand households in the city!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Hong showed his appreciation for the food towns again. Liu Zhang carefully calculated that he had food towns for 4,000 households, which equaled those of the county princes. Yuan Wei stared at Liu Zhang with blazing eyes, and Liu Zhang was speechless. Bird him.
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Liu Hong called Liu Zhang to the side hall, and the two brothers discussed it again. They unanimously decided to remove Yuan Wei from his position as the Third Duke. As for Yuan Feng, the other Third Duke of the Yuan family, he is now terminally ill. His fate was over soon. After discussing with Liu Hong for a while, Liu Zhang went to Jianzhang Palace, chatted with Queen He and Liu Bian for a while, and then left the palace.
After leaving the palace, Liu Zhang went to Cai Yong's residence. It had been more than half a year since he fought against the Yellow Turbans. When he returned to the capital, Liu Zhang naturally wanted to pay a visit to his master and father-in-law. However, Cai Yong did not give Liu Zhang a good look because Liu Zhang brought him from Guangzong. A woman came back and made a scene in the court!
Liu Zhang and Cai Yan are already engaged, but Liu Zhang is not married yet and already has three maids. Parents love their children. The status of the father of Qiao and Cai Yong is not much different, and they have a good relationship. Since Qiao and Qiao are willing to serve as servants. Concubine, Qiao Xuan also agrees, Cai Yong can't say anything. But who is Zhang Ning, and why should he share a husband with Cai Yong's daughter? Of course, Cai Yong doesn't know that Zhang Ning is Zhang Jiao's daughter, otherwise he will be even more depressed .
Finally, under a series of unequal treaties, Liu Zhang calmed down Cai Yong's anger. However, nine out of ten levels of Cai Yong's anger were feigned, and his purpose was to fight for better treatment for Cai Yan. In order to In order to prevent the marriage between Liu Zhang and Cai Yan from happening, the old man Cai Yong shamelessly approached Liu Yan and asked for the marriage between Cai Yan and Liu Zhang to be arranged.
Looking at Cai Yan, who was only eleven or twelve years old but wanted to be his wife, Liu Zhang felt like crying. But Liu Yan did not object, and he also hoped that Liu Zhang could climb the big tree of Cai Yong. In the end, Cai Yong and Liu Yan reached an agreement and first crowned Liu Zhang and then negotiated the marriage. Liu Zhang instinctively objected, but Liu Yan and Cai Yong directly said: "Marriage is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words, it is your turn to object." Kicked Liu Zhang to the corner and drew circles.
