Imprisonment is usually a case where high-ranking officials such as Jiuqing and the county governor are guilty and require the emperor to issue an edict before they can be imprisoned.
Normally speaking.
This type of prison was under the direct control of the emperor.
According to historical records, in the capital city of Chang'an alone, there were as many as 26 temples in the late years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Why?
There are too many people involved in the witchcraft disaster and they cannot be imprisoned.
still have a question.
Chang'an is a place of capital, and it is normal to have imperial edicts and prisons.
So, do other states and counties within states have prisons?
have!
And just as much.
The imperial prison is different from the prison of ordinary officials. The guards here are stricter.
As recorded in history books.
In Luoyang, there is Ruolu Chao Prison and Jialu Chao Prison.
besides!
There was also a local imperial prison where a very famous incident occurred, in which Prince Dan of the State of Zhao was imprisoned.
Prince Dan is the person who Huo Guang and the imperial censor Zhang Tang investigated together before.
The place where he was imprisoned was in Weijun, and the imperial prison in that place was called Weijun imperial prison.
The place where Huo Guang is currently imprisoning Governor Liu is called Wuwei Prison!
This is also the imperial edict of the local government directly under the imperial court, in addition to the imperial edict of the capital.
The salary of a prefect is two thousand stone.
It is in line with etiquette and the laws of the Han Dynasty to detain Taishou Liu here. On the contrary, if he was imprisoned in an ordinary prison, it would be inconsistent with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty!
As for why Taishou Liu was imprisoned, he was arrested before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict?
the reason is simple.
Huo Guang had a secret edict from the emperor, giving him full authority to handle the matter.
This is equivalent to the sword from above, or the scepter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The owner naturally has the right to imprison anyone in prison and then report it to His Majesty.
It is equivalent to the power of killing first and then showing off.
at this time.
In the prison of Wuwei County, an assassin and a prefect Liu were "enjoying" water drops to wash their faces.
For one day, the assassin could no longer stand the mental torture and complained endlessly.
Not to mention Prefect Liu who endured it for two days and two nights!
The combination of starvation and water-drop punishment made Liu Taishou's spirit collapse, so he began to plead guilty.
See this.
Zhao Daniu asked someone to call Huo Guang over.
Huo Guang knew that Taishou Liu was going to plead guilty, so he immediately picked up the paper and went to the prison to record down the crimes that Taishou Liu had confessed to.
in.
Including what Huo Guang wanted to hear most, that is, matters involving the governor of Zhou Bo and the prefect of Wuwei County.
as expected.
Zhou Bo took the lead in raising money for disaster relief.
In addition, the imperial court often has disaster subsidies and other things, or policies to benefit the people.
Such as agricultural tool reform!
Appropriated by the imperial court and implemented by local governments.
When they arrived in Liangzhou, the funds were swallowed up by them.
People don't care whether they live or die.
However, the amount of grain tax revenue must be increased to show that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's agricultural tool reform was successful.
These crimes are actually just the tip of the iceberg.
But the riots in Dunhuang County were caused by the long-term corruption of these officials.
Trouble occurs somewhere.
In addition to natural disasters, there must be man-made disasters.
Man-made disasters are the root cause, and natural disasters are just an introduction.
Listening to the crimes confessed by Liu Taishou, the former governor of Dunhuang County, Huo Guang raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that a local official could corrupt so much.
After fully recording the crimes confessed by Liu Taishou.
Huo Guang said to Zhao Daniu: "You can let him go and have someone get him some food."
Zhao Daniu nodded and immediately followed Huo Guang's instructions.
Wait until the food is brought.
Liu Taishou, who no longer suffered the punishment of water drops, could finally enjoy a delicious meal.
this moment.
He was crying while eating. When Zhao Daniu saw a man crying, he immediately spat and said: "Bah, you are still crying. How did you become a prefect like you?"
now.
Prefect Liu seemed to regret and said: "You only know that I am greedy, but I never dare to spend money. Those money, if you are greedy, you dare not spend it. You know how much suffering it is, so I might as well not be greedy."
Huo Guang glanced at Prefect Liu and hummed: "You don't know this until you are about to die. What's the use!"
Upon hearing this.
Prefect Liu cried even harder.
now.
Just listen to Liu Taishou crying: "I know that officials with no background like me cannot be greedy for money. If my surname is Liu, it is the royal Liu, you will never dare to do anything to me!"
"Ha" Huo Guang shook his head disdainfully.
no doubt.
This kind of person deserves to die.
The temper of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not spared by his own prince, so what could the royal family member named Liu do?
at most.
It just makes you more capable of committing suicide in the early stage!
Huo Guang shook his head and was too lazy to care about him. Then he walked up to the assassin and asked, "Okay, Governor Liu has confessed your master's crimes. Are you sure you want to continue to endure it?"
"Say or not?"
"If you don't say anything, I will leave!"
After Liu Taishou confessed, the assassin knew that it was useless to hold on, so he immediately nodded and said: "I said, I said."
See each other's interests.
Huo Guang glanced at Zhao Daniu.
Zhao Daniu understood.
When the assassin was released, Huo Guang asked him to speak while he recorded what he said.
really.
This man was sent in by the governor of Liangzhou, but in his words, he didn't know who he was looking for.
Huo Guang gathered the confessions of the assassin and Prefect Liu, and then discovered an interesting point.
This is the prefect of Wuwei County?
Not simple!
It seems like everything has been removed.
"He is a character, but he can be used." Huo Guang chuckled softly.
Then the two confessions were sorted out and immediately put into a fur bag that could protect them from water.
well package.
Then he was sent to Chang'an, Your Majesty.
Done this.
Huo Guang led his troops without stopping and arrested Zhou Bo, the governor of Liangzhou.
When going to catch it.
This guy was still enjoying the service of the singer, looking like he was in a state of intoxication.
Huo Guang smiled lightly and said: "Hey, Governor Zhou, why don't you enjoy this? Why don't you come with me to the imperial prison? I have all the torture instruments there, and you can enjoy some of them."
Seeing that Huo Guang wanted to arrest him, Zhou Bo immediately said: "Huo Guang, I am the governor of Liangzhou and I am directly under the control of your majesty. You dare to arrest me?"
Huo Guang said calmly: "You are the one who is being arrested. Prefect Liu has already arrested you for everything you did in Liangzhou."
"correct."
"The assassin you sent in has also finished explaining everything."
At this moment, Zhou Bo looked a little shocked and said immediately: "Huo Guang, don't you dare to bluff me?"
"I'm kidding you? Ha."
Huo Guang was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand directly, and the soldiers behind him captured this guy.
This guy was caught and was dishonest.
He said that he was the "Provincial Governor of Liangzhou", which meant that he could not be arrested.
Huo Guang will send him to prison directly.
no doubt.
The water drop torture tool used by Liu Bei, the governor of Dunhuang County, is still there and can be used by Zhou Bo this time.
The person was caught.
But he still has to admit the crime himself.
Finish these.
Huo Guang took people to the prefect's mansion in Wuwei County again.
Zhou Bo is the top leader in Liangzhou, so Governor Li is the top leader in Wuwei County.
As the top leader of Wuwei County.
This prefect's mansion is naturally a very big house.
When Taishou Li saw Huo Guang and his men approaching in a menacing manner, he asked suspiciously, "What is Marquis Bolu doing?"
Huo Guang said calmly: "Li Taishou did it for himself. Among the things that Taishou Liu explained, none of them seem to have much to do with you."
After hearing this, Taishou Li's expression changed at first, then returned to normal and said, "I don't understand what Marquis Bolu is saying!"
Can't understand?
hehe!
Huo Guang ignored him, knowing that he was pretending to be stupid, and immediately said: "Pick yourself clean. If you encounter a righteous official who investigates the case, it will naturally not be your problem."
"But I have never promoted myself as a righteous man. If I think you are unhappy, I will change a few facts in the memorial submitted to His Majesty!"
"Tell me, what will happen?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has always been a decisive person in life and death.
Especially to those officials in the imperial court or local governors.
Whatever you say, just kill him!
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed the former great farmer Yan Yi, and another example was when he killed the former prime minister Li Cai.
The two of them thought that the official was in the ninth position, while the other one was in the position of the third Duke.
San Gong!
A position that many people covet.
During the Three Kingdoms period, wasn't Yuan Shao crazy because of his family background?
That's just the background.
And Prime Minister Li Cai is the Sangong himself.
Even the Prime Minister, who is the head of the three princes, can be said to be truly inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Such a high official was still killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The governor of a mere local county.
If Huo Guang really blew the wind in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would probably die without a burial place.
Hear the words.
Immediately, a gleam appeared in Taishou Li's eyes, he looked directly at Huo Guang and said, "Marquis Bo Lu, what is your intention in saying these words to me?"
Huo Guang shook his head with a smile and said, "What do you think? Smart people shouldn't let me explain!"
The words fell.
Huo Guang waved his hand to the soldiers he had brought with him, and said, "You guys go out, I have important matters to discuss with Governor Li."
"promise!"
The soldiers and lackeys exited Prefect Li's yard one after another.
At this time.
Huo Guang looked at Prefect Li again and said, "I like to deal with smart people, not because they are smart, but because they save trouble."
Taishou Li immediately replied: "Marquis Bolu has a distinguished status, so he doesn't need local governors like me to surrender to you, right?"
"Is it possible?"
"Marquis Bolu is also short of money?"
Short of money?
hehe!
What Huo Guang lacks most now is money.
After hearing what Li Taishou said, Huo Guang shook his head disdainfully and said, "I thought you were a smart person!"
this moment.
Huo Guang felt a little impatient.
And this impatient expression was keenly felt by Prefect Li.
that moment.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a tiger that could eat him anytime, anywhere.
After realizing his situation.
Governor Li immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to work like a dog and a horse for Marquis Bolu!"
Seeing him like this, Huo Guang showed a smile on his face and said: "You are good at observing people's emotions. I wanted you to taste the punishment of water drops just now."
"Water droplet punishment?" Li Taishou was very curious and had never heard of such a thing.
Huo Guang didn't explain anything. Instead, he took out a paper pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Prefect Li.
Taishou Li took the brochure and after checking it, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Subsequently.
He looked at Huo Guang in horror and said, "Marquis Bo Lu, the content in this article is truly treasonous!"
Huo Guang snorted lightly and said: "As the prefect of Wuwei County, you will be responsible for arresting these people from now on. As for where they are, you can think about it yourself."
"You're still not smart enough."
"I'm a little tired now."
The words fell.
Huo Guang turned around and walked out.
When he was about to leave the palace, Huo Guang suddenly stopped, turned his head, turned half of his face to the shocked Taishou Li, and squinted: "Remember, if I want you to live, you can live, if I want you to die, you can live." , you will definitely die!"
The words fell.
Huo Guang did not stop and walked directly out of the prefect's house.
What happened in Liangzhou was nothing more than officials getting entangled into one faction and preying on the people, resulting in the phenomenon of people being unable to make a living.
Plus drought.
Then the thunder broke out.
How many such things did the powerful Western Han Dynasty have?
Huo Guang didn't know either.
But what is certain is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was very happy with his achievements and fought for many years. A series of operations in his later years turned the entire Western Han Dynasty into a powder keg that was about to explode.
in history.
If it weren't for the original Huo Guang who turned the tide and saved the country from the fire.
perhaps.
The history of the Han Dynasty was only one hundred years.
Huo Guang doesn't know whether he has the ability to do as well as the Huo Guang in history.
so.
There is always something to prepare for a rainy day.
Especially when it comes to the disaster caused by witchcraft, you must be careful in dealing with it. If you can take care of yourself, you must not be implicated in this.
As for the matter in Liangzhou.
With the fall of Zhou Bo, the governor of Liangzhou, all the officials, big and small, were arrested. Important figures were imprisoned in imperial prisons, while ordinary officials were imprisoned in ordinary prisons.
later time.
Just let the court decide how to punish him and appoint new officials to Liangzhou.
thereafter.
Huo Guang then returned to the court with his troops and returned to Chang'an with the five thousand infantry he had brought with him.
The farthest Yumen Pass in Liangzhou is far away from Chang'an. However, the entire Liangzhou is still very close to Chang'an.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Western Region Protectorate, the northwest territory of the Han Dynasty would expand again.
At that time, it would probably take a long time to go there.
This time he returned to Chang'an, which was different from when he came here. Huo Guang also brought Zhao Daniu's family with him.
promised them before.
If we want to bring Zhao Daniu and his family to live in Chang'an, we have to do what we say.
Huo Guang has never done business at a loss. In order to get a general like Zhao Daniu, it would not be a loss to bring his family to live in Chang'an.
certainly.
It is impossible for them to live in Chang'an City.
Today's Chang'an City is already full of people, and they are all concentrated with powerful people.
it's here.
With the character of Zhao Daniu's family, they would definitely not be able to survive.
You might even get yourself into trouble.
So Huo Guang took them to Yan Yu, and she arranged for the family to live there.
As for Huo Guang himself?
When he returned to the imperial court, the first thing he did was to enter the palace to meet His Majesty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che knew what Huo Guang had done in Liangzhou and was very happy. He did not receive Huo Guang like he usually did when he received a victorious general. Instead, he took Huo Guang for a walk in the palace.
Huo Guang, who had come to hear about the dirty Tang Dynasty man, couldn't help but tighten his anus.
But he didn’t dare to resist.
thinking.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wouldn't have any plot, would he? I can't stand this kind of thing.
While Huo Guang was thinking wildly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly said: "Marquis Bolu, I am going to let you take up the post of Doctor Guanglu. What do you think?" (End of Chapter)
