On this day, King Zhao Liu Pengzu had just gotten up, and one of his concubines was changing his clothes.
Being born into a royal family, life is so comfortable.
You can know nothing, but you can still put out your hands for food and open your mouth every day.
Because his surname is Liu, Liu from Liu Bang!
Concubine Ji was changing clothes for him, and he stretched out his hand to caress her for a while, which made the concubine angry again and again. On a whim, he couldn't help it anymore.
Until everything feels boring.
He then opened his mouth and asked the maid beside him: "What kind of day is it today?"
"Your Majesty, today is a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly." The servant replied respectfully.
Liu Pengzu stretched himself and said to himself: "I like the sun to shine brightly. It seems that today is another pleasant day!"
After leaving the palace.
Liu Pengzu asked people to prepare horses, and at the same time asked the patrolling soldiers to get up and work.
One of his men asked: "King, don't you usually patrol at night? Why are you patrolling during the day today?"
King Zhao Liu Pengzu was a man who was humble on the outside but mean and vicious on the inside.
Is he concerned about things like inspecting Handan County and supervising and punishing thieves? He just enjoys the eyes of others who admire his life and fear his identity.
Hear the questions from his subordinates.
Liu Pengzu immediately said angrily: "If I ask you to follow me on patrol, just follow. There is so much nonsense!"
The subordinate immediately replied with a trembling voice: "No!"
After the soldiers were called over, they followed Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu and began to patrol the city of Handan County.
He doesn't like to be superstitious about ghosts and gods, but he likes to do the things that officials do.
He was patrolling Handan City leisurely.
Unexpectedly.
A group of officers and soldiers who did not belong to Handan County broke through the city gate in broad daylight and not only controlled the guarding soldiers.
Even Liu Pengzu, King of Zhao, was surrounded.
"Who are you who dare to break into the city of Handan County. I am a member of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and so is Liu Pengzu, King of Zhao. How dare you offend me?" Liu Pengzu shouted loudly.
However.
The officers and soldiers surrounding him ignored him.
It wasn't until a familiar laughter sounded that the officers and soldiers made way for them.
"King Zhao, don't get excited. We are not offending you. We are just following His Majesty's orders and must come here to investigate the matter."
Liu Pengzu was shocked when he looked at the person coming.
It turned out to be Zhang Tang, the imperial censor!
"Haha, who do I think you are!" King Zhao looked at Zhang Tang and mocked disdainfully: "Why, have you made any progress on Li Xiangguo's case?"
"Even if you find out about me, I am the one who did it."
"You, Zhang Tang, are not qualified, so you dare to arrest me for investigating the case!"
Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the rights of various kings were basically no longer available. But its level of nobility is still unparalleled by all the senses.
Liu Pengzu dared to frame every chancellor of Zhao State in this way, wasn't it because he knew this and was confident?
However.
Even though King Zhao Liu Pengzu was so mocking, Zhang Tang remained unmoved and just continued to say with a smile: "I really don't dare to touch King Zhao, but I still need to explain it!"
"Your Majesty sent me here not to investigate Li Xiangguo's case."
"Instead, check your prince, King Zhao, Liu Dan!"
Hear this.
Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu was stunned and a little confused.
how?
If Li Xiangguo doesn't investigate anymore, why should he investigate Liu Pengzu's prince?
After the Queen was stunned for a moment, King Zhao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Tang smiled and said: "Please, King Zhao, come with me!"
then.
Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu was reluctantly brought to the place where Zhang Tang lived.
Then he ordered someone to show King Zhao the slips and slips that Huo Guang recorded about the crimes committed by the prince as dictated by Jiang Qin.
King Zhao finished reading.
Although his expression was surprised, it didn't change much.
The so-called wise son is better than his father!
Do you dare to say that he, the King of Zhao, had no knowledge of the various things that Prince Liu Dan committed?
Not blind!
After reading a scroll of slips, Liu Pengzu was too lazy to read and said calmly: "Zhang Tang, you are such a cruel official that you are getting more and more back."
"These are words, made up by people."
"Can you take it seriously?"
Zhang Tangnian smiled without changing his expression: "This can't be true, what if we are caught on the spot? Haha, King Zhao might as well ask the prince where he is now?"
Hear the words.
Liu Pengzu frowned slightly and said, "Of course the prince is in his east palace!"
"Oh?" Zhang Tang pretended to be confused and asked, "That's strange. If the prince is in the East Palace, why did the people I sent to keep an eye on the prince report that he deceived Prince Nao into going to the northern palace?"
"What?"
Suddenly.
King Zhao Liu Pengzu was shocked.
Nao Ji is his favorite concubine. This rebellious son doesn't care what he usually does. How can he reach out to Liu Pengzu?
present.
Liu Pengzu shouted and kicked away the officers and soldiers who were blocking him, mounted his horse and rushed towards the small northern hall.
only.
When he arrived at the small northern hall.
Stopped again.
Prince Liu Dan is in the small hall, and his concubine Nao is also inside. If he goes in now and gets angry, what will happen next?
The Liu family of Han Dynasty doesn’t want the face anymore!
However.
Just when he couldn't make up his mind.
inside the house.
Suddenly, Prince Liu Dan's voice sounded like he was losing his mind, and Liu Pengzu knew it was him.
Zhang Tang, who came from behind, looked at Liu Pengzu and asked: "What is King Zhao waiting for? If it is because of human feelings, then we will go in and enforce the law impartially!"
Liu Pengzu snorted coldly and said, "I don't need you to worry about my family affairs!"
Said.
King Zhao Liu Pengzu rushed in and kicked Prince Liu Dan off the bed.
Prince Liu Dan saw that it was his father.
Suddenly, the desire in front of him disappeared as if washed away by a flood of water.
now.
All that's left is fear and uneasiness.
"Father, why are you here... No, I am Prince Nao, who seduced me first... No, no, I was framed!"
Pa~
Prince Liu Dan wanted to defend himself.
But the only response he received was an angry slap in the face.
"You traitor, I will beat you to death!"
King Zhao Liu Pengzu was full of anger at this moment, but he couldn't get the second slap.
after all.
It's his own son, and he's poisoned by tigers and won't even eat his own children!
When Zhang Tang saw this, he waved his hand to his men and said, "Come here, arrest the Prince of Zhao Liu Dan."
King Zhao Liu Pengzu heard this.
Is this a big deal?
He immediately cursed without caring about his face: "Zhang Tang, this is my family matter, what does it have to do with you!"
"Family affairs? Humph, they were all reported to His Majesty. It shocked the government and the public. King Zhao, this is no longer your family matter. Even Your Majesty is very angry!" With that, Zhang Tang waved his hand and was about to take him away. Liu Dan.
And this time.
Liu Dan quickly took out the blushing slip from his arms and said, "Father, you have to believe me. Look, this is what Naoji gave me!"
The slip in the prince's hand was given to him by Huo Guang.
pity.
This guy never calculated it.
This slip was not written by Huo Guang in imitation of Nao Ji, but an obscene article written by Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu himself.
It was for this reason that I married Naoji from Jiangdu Kingdom.
then.
Liu Pengzu only glanced at it, then quickly closed it, slapped it out again, and scolded: "You treacherous son, I wrote this, can't you even recognize my father's handwriting?"
Suddenly.
Prince Liu Dan was shocked!
In a trance.
He realized that he had been fooled, by Huo Guang!
otherwise?
Why was it such a coincidence that his father came to arrest him as soon as he arrived?
Suddenly!
Liu Dan shouted loudly: "Father, it was Huo Yilang who harmed me. He and Nao Ji colluded. No, there should be Zhang Yushi."
"The three of them colluded to frame this prince!"
"Father, you have to believe me!"
It just so happened.
Huo Guang drove the carriage and came here. Looking at the embarrassed Liu Dan, he said that he had framed him.
He immediately laughed and said: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. When did I frame you? Could it be that I tied you here?"
When Liu Dan saw Huo Guang driving his carriage, he immediately glared at her and said, "Huo Guang, you are so vicious! You actually secretly joined forces with Nao Ji to frame me!"
Huo Guang shrugged and said, "Hey, OK, OK, Your Highness, if you insist on saying that I framed you, and you can't provide any evidence, then just say it!"
"I can't control your mouth anyway!"
"but!"
"Excuse me, Prince, so you didn't even spare your fellow sisters, and it was someone else who framed you?"
Said.
Huo Guang had people help the women out of the carriage, and all of them were tortured into disgrace.
When King Zhao Liu Pengzu saw that two of the women were his own flesh and blood, he was immediately stunned and asked, "Huo Guang, what's going on?"
"King Zhao, I have to ask His Highness the Crown Prince about the women I rescued in the Prince's East Palace." Huo Guang said, turning to Liu Dan and said: "Well, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have sent people to rescue them." Your East Palace is under control, including Wizard Hu Xian."
"That wizard has tried everything."
"Your Highness, are you sure you still want to resist?"
After listening to Huo Guang's words.
Prince Liu Dan of Zhao Kingdom suddenly felt his heart sink, knowing that something was wrong.
However, King Zhao Liu Pengzu could not pretend to be confused. He immediately kicked Liu Dan down and cursed: "You beast!"
"A few days ago, didn't you tell me that you pampered your two sisters and lived in your east palace so comfortably that you couldn't bear to leave?"
"Why, you dote on your fellow sisters like this!"
Prince Liu Dan was completely panicked now.
After he was kicked to the ground, he immediately crawled over with tears streaming down his face, hugged his father Liu Pengzu's calf, and screamed in agony with runny nose and tears.
This is his last hope.
"I didn't mean to hurt them, Father, and I don't know what happened to me."
"I can't control myself."
"Father!!! I can't control it!! I really can't control myself..."
But at this moment.
No matter whether Prince Liu Dan was really regretful or scared, it was already too late.
Zhang Tang waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to take him away.
Prince Liu Dan, on the other hand, hugged Liu Pengzu's calf tightly, shouting miserably and saying that he was wrong.
He also said that he begged his father to give him a chance.
And his father.
Apparently his heart softened, and he clasped his fists at Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, and said, "Zhang Yushi, can you show your dignity in this matter?"
However.
"No!" Zhang Tang waved his hand and refused: "I want to come and handle it impartially, and I am executing His Majesty's orders!"
Liu Pengzu continued: "Mr. Zhang, if you let my son Liu Dan go, I will thank you very much!"
Hear this.
Zhang Tang snorted coldly and said: "It's a joke. I, Zhang Tang, have always received salary from the imperial court and received rewards from His Majesty."
"You are just King Zhao, why do you dare to say thank you so much to me?"
"Somebody come!"
"Put Prince Zhao Liu Dan down for me. If he doesn't let go of Prince Zhao, break his hand!"
Zhang Tang, the censor doctor, spoke.
The officials and lackeys were no longer afraid of offending King Zhao and the prince, so they separated the two of them forcefully and dragged them away.
Liu Pengzu saw this scene.
The canthus of the eyes is about to burst!
He immediately glared at Zhang Tang and said fiercely: "Zhang, you, you... hum, from today on, our relationship is finally settled!"
The words fell.
He unexpectedly flicked his long sleeves and left angrily.
He didn't care at all about the two daughters who had been humiliated, as well as his beloved concubine Nao Ji.
Ancient emperors and generals.
He was originally cold-tempered, and there was no sentimentality or sentimentality found in later literature.
Huo Guang watched everyone leave, then walked up to Zhang Tang and said, "Mr. Zhang, how about that demon Hu Xian who refuses to confess?"
Zhang Tang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you say you've already done everything?"
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "That's for the ears of Prince Liu Dan and King Zhao. This Hu Xian has a very tough mouth. I'm afraid he won't speak out without suffering some pain."
Zhang Tang nodded and said: "I can do the interrogation. In this way, you will be watching from the side and I can teach you how to interrogate."
Huo Guang heard this.
Suddenly confused.
Why does this old man want to teach him everything? Even with His Majesty’s instructions, you shouldn’t be so dedicated!
Huo Guang suddenly smiled awkwardly and said: "Ahem, um... Mr. Zhang, I remembered that I still have something to solve, so I'll go there."
Finished.
Without waiting for Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, to agree, he quickly disappeared.
However, you can run for a while, but you can't run for a lifetime.
No!
When Zhang Tang interrogated the demon Hu Xian, he specially brought Huo Guang over.
According to the process of interrogating prisoners according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, first filed a case for torture and interrogation, and then circulated documents for the second trial.
at last.
A thorough investigation will be conducted based on what comes out of the interrogation, and the evidence must be conclusive to determine the crime.
certainly.
Various severe punishments are indispensable.
Huo Guang's eyes only wrinkled and he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhang, this trial is too scary!"
"That's not bad!" Zhang Tang glanced at Huo Guang and said indifferently: "Huo Yilang, do you know that there is a kind of punishment called punishment?"
Huo Guang shook his head, how could he know this!
Zhang Tang stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "This punishment is scary. First tie the criminal, and then use a knife to remove his flesh piece by piece. Starting from the hands and feet, then to the chest and abdomen, the head, and removing his five internal organs Six Fu organs.”
"The requirement is that within a certain number of cuts, the sinner cannot die. He must still be able to breathe!"
"In the past, I loved this punishment to punish criminals!"
Isn't this Lingchi? The punishment of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!
After listening to Mr. Zhang’s words.
Goosebumps appeared on Huo Guang's arms.
Shake his head.
He walked up to the tied demon Hu Xian and asked, "Did you hear me? If there is anything else, please report it as soon as possible."
"otherwise?"
"The punishment is not pleasant."
At this time, Hu Xian did not know whether the punishment he received was too severe or because of other reasons.
Blood actually flowed from both eyes.
Hu Xian slowly raised his head, stared at Huo Guang, and said in a strange tone:
"I have used the art of hating victory, cursing you to die a good death. No matter how tough your life is and you can resist the curse, everyone around you will leave you one by one, and you will end up alone in the end! "
