Why did Your Majesty send Zhang Tang to investigate Huo Guang's case? It's very simple, it means that he doesn't intend to deal with Huo Guang.
He was sent to prison just to deal with the ministers who wanted to impeach Huo Guang at the court meeting.
Before!
Huo Guang was suspected of being part of Zhang Tang's group.
Everyone knows that Huo Guang is related to the imperial censor.
In this situation.
If we really want to examine whether the things reported by officials to impeach Huo Guang are true, we should avoid suspicion and call in Ting Wei's people to investigate. Instead of asking Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, to check it out in person!
no doubt.
Your Majesty has no intention of dealing with Huo Guang.
It was precisely because of this that Huo Guang did not feel the slightest panic when he was sent to Chang'an Prison.
As for Lu Yu beside him, after listening to his words, he learned that Mr. Zhang was coming, and he immediately said excitedly: "What, Mr. Zhang is coming? That's great, I, Lu Yu, am saved. My brother is here for Zhang If you die in public, Mr. Zhang will definitely not refuse to save you!"
Lu Yu at this moment.
Just like a drowning person, if he can catch a floating straw in the water, he will cling to it.
Therefore, he will not worry about his actions and whether he will drag the rescuer into the water and drown to death.
You can tell just by looking at him!
The guy didn't listen at all to what Huo Guang said later, telling him not to pester Zhang Tang, the imperial censor.
That kind of people!
Just by looking at him, you can tell he is a pig teammate. If you get close to him, you will definitely get yourself into trouble in the end.
What did you say?
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs!
Seeing this, Huo Guang could only shake his head.
Unconsciously, I moved my body, it would be better to stay away from him!
Looking at the surrounding environment, Huo Guang frowned slightly.
Although it can be guessed that His Majesty does not intend to punish himself, the question is, how should he spend tonight in this rotten-smelling prison?
The ancient imperial edicts did not talk to you about human rights.
If you stay here for one night, your life span will probably be shortened by several days.
"Hey, it's so miserable. I have to sleep on the bed, so how should I sleep here!" Huo Guang shook his head, sighed, found a wall that was cleaner than other places, leaned against it, closed his eyes and rested.
It is impossible to sleep in this position.
He barely managed to survive the night in prison.
The next day.
The jailer brought some food to satisfy his hunger, one for Huo Guang and one for Lu Yu.
There are not many prisoners in the imperial prison.
In the cell where Huo Guang was, there were only two people: him and Lu Yu.
Because punishment in ancient times was different from modern punishments. In ancient times, there were only two types of people detained in imperial prisons!
One is the prisoner who is still being interrogated, and the other is the guy who is about to be executed.
There is no concept of being imprisoned for several years.
after all.
People need to eat, and so do prisoners. Food was scarce in ancient times. How could there be so much food to feed prisoners?
At this time.
After Lu Yu took the food.
The jailer shouted to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, this is your food."
pity.
Huo Guang was still leaning against the wall, too lazy to pay attention.
Seeing this, Lu Yu hurriedly took Huo Guang's food and said, "Hey, I'll take it for Huo Yilang, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
After saying this, he smiled and accepted Huo Guang's food.
But in a blink of an eye.
Lu Yu stopped laughing and shouted to the jailer who turned to leave: "Hey, what do you jailers mean? I, Lu Yu, have been eating prison food here for so long, and it's like pig food every time. Why? When Huo Guang came, he actually had soup cakes to eat?"
During this Han Dynasty period.
Not to mention a prison
, even outside, poor people may not have soup cakes to eat all year round.
Only the powerful can still enjoy this kind of treatment.
Lu Yu was naturally dissatisfied with this extremely different treatment.
However.
The jailer who heard this was not used to his habit of being picky. He took out a stick and shouted: "What are you shouting? If you keep shouting, believe it or not, you won't be able to eat anymore!"
When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately shrank his neck and smiled flatteringly at the jailer: "I didn't shout, I didn't shout, I just asked!"
"Seeing Huo Yilang eating so well makes me very greedy."
"Look, I've been imprisoned in prison for so long, but I've never had soup!"
Upon hearing this, the jailer immediately shouted: "Who are you, can you compare with Huo Yilang? You are the champion brother, what are you? The soup and food were specially ordered by Jia Tingwei to serve Huo Yilang. With you, It also goes well with soup!"
After a lot of contempt.
The jailer spat at him severely before leaving.
Although Lu Yu was angry, he could only endure it.
After seeing the jailer leave, he cursed secretly: "You are so contemptuous of people, bah, what a little jailer!"
Finished spitting.
He brought the food to Huo Guang and said flatteringly, "Huo Yilang, it's time to eat!"
Huo Guang glanced at Lu Yu with slight disgust and said speechlessly: "You eat when you eat. Why do you talk about eating? It's really bad."
Lu Yu smiled innocently and made no excuse.
Huo Guang looked at him and saw that the spit from the jailer was still there. It was hard not to wonder if the jailer had spit into the soup just now.
This food.
He couldn't eat it.
Simply.
As a favor, he looked at Lu Yu and said, "I just heard you say that you haven't eaten soup for a while since you were imprisoned in this prison?"
Lu Yu suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "Huo Yilang, how have I ever eaten soup? Even outside, there are only a few soup cakes to eat."
Lu Yu’s elder brother Lu Yeju!
He was just a clerk under Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, and his annual salary was only four hundred dan.
There are as many as five thousand Langguan officials in the palace like Huo Guang!
A year's salary is six hundred stones!
It can be imagined that the status of Lu Yu and Huo Guang is very different.
The reason for this gap is simply because of the different status of the brothers on both sides.
but.
At this moment, Huo Guang didn't want to criticize any injustice. He just smiled lightly and said, "Since you haven't eaten it, okay, then you can eat my soup!"
Huo Guang's soup was naturally better than Lu Yu's pig food.
I saw Lu Yu pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Huo Yilang, you don't know, there is a lot of hunger in this prison. If you don't eat this meal, you will be so hungry that you can't open your eyes tomorrow. I just It was the same when I came in. Later, I even ate pig food!"
Huo Guang frowned and hummed: "Can I be like you? Ha, if you want to eat my share, you can put it aside. Don't disturb my rest."
The words fell.
Huo Guang closed his eyes again.
I didn't fall asleep last night, and I'm afraid I still can't sleep today.
At this time, Lu Yu had already begun to grab Huo Guang's soup and eat it.
While eating, they were talking!
"Huo Yilang, hey, this is what you said, so I'll eat it!"
"Well, eat, eat!" Although Huo Guang spoke, he still closed his eyes and did not look at him.
Huo Guang at this moment.
I thought again in my mind that Wei Ting had reduced his propaganda, why should he give special treatment to himself?
It doesn’t make sense!
I am not familiar with propaganda reduction.
According to the classification given to him by the party officials in the imperial court, he should belong to the clique of Zhang Tang, the imperial censor.
And reduce publicity.
Although he does not work for Prime Minister Li Cai, he is an enemy of Zhang Tang, the imperial censor.
Even said...
During this reduction in publicity, I always thought about killing Zhang Tang, so there was no reason to treat myself preferentially.
Could it be?
Do you want to get some bad news about Zhang Tang out of your own tricks?
If Huo Guang's guess is correct, then he will be really disappointed with the reduction of publicity. He has no leverage against Zhang Tang.
Unless framed.
Otherwise, with Zhang Tang's stern attitude in doing things, there would be no chance for others to take advantage of him!
Thinking about it.
soon.
This day is about to pass again. As Na Lu Yu said, there is a great famine in Chang'an Prison.
The jailer delivers meals.
One day, it was only delivered once.
The rest of the time has to be spent in starvation. No wonder people who come out of prison are very thin.
Wait until evening.
The door of the prison opened with a creak. A middle-aged man with good features and several guards walked to the entrance of the cell where Huo Guang was and stopped.
"Open the cell." The middle-aged man said to the jailer.
"promise."
When the jailer heard what the man said, he immediately opened the shackles on the cell.
Subsequently.
The middle-aged man walked in, and at the same time, the jailer carrying mats and bedding-like items came in behind him.
At this time.
The middle-aged man looked at Huo Guang and called softly: "Huo Yilang, are you okay?"
Huo Guang had actually heard the noise just now, but he just didn't pay attention to it.
Now when I heard someone calling my name, I opened my eyes and looked at the person. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, I asked, "Who are you? Are you here to interrogate my case?"
"But Your Majesty didn't say that!"
"Will my case be heard by Zhang Gong, the censor?"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, the man laughed and waved his hands quickly: "Huo Yilang, please don't misunderstand me. I am not the person who is trying your case."
"Because the conditions in the prison are poor and it's cold at night, I'm here to give you a mat and some warm clothes."
"oh!"
"correct."
"I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm in Duzhou, and Lieutenant Nai Ting is supervising me!"
Sangong Jiuqing, the nine in Jiuqing does not refer to the nine people.
And the word "Qing" naturally doesn't just mean an official.
Tingwei belongs to Jiuqing,
Naturally, there is not only one official. In addition to Tingwei reducing the propaganda, there are also one official, one official, one left official, and one right official.
How to understand the relationship between Ting Wei and Zheng Supervisor?
Very simple!
Just like the emperor and the prince, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Liu Zhi.
If the emperor dies suddenly, then according to the normal logical sequence, the prince must take the throne.
Same reason.
If something happens to the public, if something happens, if someone commits some crime and is dismissed, or if he makes some meritorious service and gets promoted, the position of Tingwei will become vacant. Then, in the future, unless something unexpected happens, it will be Du Zhou, the chief supervisor, who will take over.
Huo Guang glanced at Du Zhou, frowned slightly, and asked, "Giving mats? Clothes? Who means that? Mr. Zhang?"
Du Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it's just that I made my own decision after hearing about Huo Yilang's imprisonment!"
"Huo Yilang, if you don't need it."
"I, the supervisor, should order someone to take it."
unnecessary? Huo Guang was in need so much that he spent last night leaning against the wall and squinting.
Today there are mats to lie down on and clothes to keep out the cold.
How can you not want it?
immediately.
Huo Guang then said with a smile: "Ahem, yes, thank you Inspector Du. By the way, I don't know why Inspector Du treats me so kindly. You and I have never met each other before, right?"
Hear what Huo Guang said.
Du Zhou laughed and said, "Huo
What Yilang said is wrong. "
"We are all descended from Zhang Gong's sect. It only matters that we are from the same family. Whether we are acquaintances or not is not important!"
"alright."
"It's time for me to leave, so I won't disturb Huo Yilang's rest."
The words fell.
Du Zhou, a middle-aged man, smiled at Huo Guang and walked out.
Huo Guang was left feeling slightly unhappy in the cell.
It would have been better if Du Zhou didn't mention Zhang Gong, but he labeled himself as one of Zhang Gong's faction, and even asked for the mats and clothes he sent.
This feeling.
It felt like I had eaten something, uncomfortable! ap.
Lu Yu, who was on the side, still couldn't figure out the current situation, and said flatteringly to Huo Yilang: "Huo Yilang is really powerful. He was sent to Chang'an Prison, and the Tingwei and Zhengwei took turns delivering food and clothing. It's really enviable! "
Envy?
Ah!
Only a fool like Lu Yu would say such things. Smart people know that no one will be nice to them for no reason!
There must be some agenda.
When a man treats a woman well, it's nothing more than looking for her body.
Men treat men well?
It must be for profit...
Is there anything interesting about Huo Guang? Naturally, it was the elder brother behind the scenes and the network of General Wei Qing.
He had no way of knowing what the circumstances of the reduction in publicity were.
But this is Du Zhou.
Huo Guang really didn't want to have anything to do with this person.
This person is Zhang Tang's most famous lackey. He acts in Zhang Tang's style, but does not have Zhang Tang's integrity.
The level of corruption!
Even comparable to He Shen of later dynasties.
This kind of person, to be honest, is something Huo Guang is ashamed of. Once he serves as an official, he will bring disaster to one party.
While he was thinking about this, Lu Yu on the side had already laid out the mat for him very "sensiblely".
Seeing this situation.
Without saying a word, Huo Guang said to him: "Hey, Lu Yu, who asked you to help me? I tell you, I can give you food, but you should stay away from me where you sleep. I didn't Do you know about Longyang's hobby?"
Lu Yu immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "Look what Huo Yilang said, Lu doesn't have that hobby, he just lays the mat for you."
"If I have a chance to go out in the future."
"As long as Huo Yilang remembers me well."
After hearing what Lu Yu said, Huo Guang nodded slightly and said, "Well, that's pretty much it."
"okay!"
"I'll lay it myself..."
"..."
In this way, Huo Guang spent another difficult night in prison. Although he was more comfortable than leaning against the wall the night before, Huo Guang still didn't fall asleep.
First, I was hungry.
Secondly, it’s still the same problem, recognizing the bed.
By the next day, Huo Guang had panda eyes, and the circles under his eyes were extremely dark.
But the good news is.
Tingwei Jiaxuan, who had no friendship with him, still sent the jailer to deliver a soup.
this time.
Huo Guang, who was already hungry and had his chest pressed against his back, couldn't care less at the moment and just started eating.
In an instant.
It's like eating something delicious in the world.
What's the point of saying this? When people are hungry, they have only one desire, and that is to eat!
Huo Guang's mind is empty now, he just thinks about making food!
This way.
While he was devouring soup, at the end of the prison corridor over there, the door opened with a creak.
An old man, surrounded by jailers, walked in.
Wait until these people approach.
Huo Guang discovered that the old man who was surrounded by many jailers was none other than Zhang Tang, the imperial censor who was ranked third in the court.
"Huo Yilang, are you okay?
Zhang Tang asked with a smile.
However.
Huo Guang ignored it and was minding his own business.
On the other hand, Lu Yu on the side became excited after seeing Zhang Tang and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, Gong Zhang, you are finally here!"
"It's me, it's me, I'm Lu Yeju's younger brother, Lu Yu!"
"Mr. Zhang, when can you rescue me?"
Lu Yu looked excited.
pity.
Zhang Tang never looked at him seriously.
Still looking at Huo Guang with a smile, he said: "Huo Yilang, don't be in a hurry, eat slowly, eat slowly!"
