At the court meeting, Huo Guang was holding a blunderbuss, aiming at the ceramics placed outside.
At this time.
In the palace, all the courtiers stared at Huo Guang. Everyone was curious about what the new weapon that Marquis Bo Lu had come up with was.
in.
The most interesting person is Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
He was also watching Huo Guang's performance attentively.
Huo Guang pulled the trigger, and the match rope ignited the gunpowder in the barrel. In an instant, a huge explosive kinetic energy was generated, pushing the iron beads out of the barrel.
The voice sounded.
He had already seen the ceramic jar outside the palace gate shattering with a crash.
But these are not important.
What matters is.
The ministers in the palace, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, did not know at first that Huo Guang's new weapon would make such a violent sound when used.
Don't look at this gun as a blunderbuss.
Due to the large amount of gunpowder used, the sound of firing was extremely loud.
Although it can't compare to the thunderous sound of the flying thunder cannon, this is a place in the palace where people's words have echoes.
Shoot here.
You can imagine how loud the sound was.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and other ministers were watching attentively. The sound of gunshots rang out suddenly, and he was suddenly frightened.
That moment.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so excited that he was so consistent with the officials!
After this fright, the three princes and nine ministers in the palace began to discuss this new weapon.
Some people say that Huo Guang's thing is not a weapon, but a witchcraft.
It is said that this kind of weapon is loud and has a miraculous effect on the Huns cavalry.
There are even officials who participated in the last battle of Mobei. They know about gunpowder and have seen the power of flying thunder cannons. They said with a proud expression that this weapon is inferior to flying thunder cannons and so on.
Only Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked at the place where the ceramic jars were placed outside the palace and asked thoughtfully: "Marquis Bo Lu, how far can your new weapon attack?"
How far does the attack go?
Isn’t that just asking about the range?
this!
Huo Guang has never tested it.
After frowning slightly, he said: "Your Majesty, the place where the matchlock gun can attack should be between one hundred and two hundred steps."
Don't underestimate this distance.
To know.
During World War II, the effective killing range of the Nationalist Government's official rifles was only two hundred meters.
And the era Huo Guang is in now.
But in the Western Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, a shooting range of one to two hundred steps was enough.
But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard Huo Guang's words, he seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "Is it only a distance of one or two hundred steps? Isn't that just like a bow and arrow?"
"If they are all the same distance!"
"This so-called matchlock gun of yours is delicately made, but its function is similar to that of a bow and arrow."
"Why should I use such a complicated thing as yours instead of a simple bow and arrow?"
Huo Guang was shocked when he heard Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che's doubts. He didn't expect Emperor Wu of Han to think about such a problem.
Bow and arrow.
It was the main long-range weapon in ancient wars.
It’s also simple to use.
If blunderbuss is inferior to bows and arrows, then why did Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor who expelled the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, study such firearms in particular?
Subsequently.
Why did the King of Yan, Zhu Di, also develop firearms in particular, and even highly recommend such things as the Shenji Camp?
Are they all fools?
No!
They are not fools, but they know the power of firearms, so they develop such weapons.
There is no doubt that blunderbuss is much better than the firearms of the early Republic of China.
so.
When Huo Guang heard the question from Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang replied directly: "Your Majesty, bows and arrows have the function of bows and arrows, and matchlocks have the function of matchlocks."
"I only need to say a few words, and your Majesty will be fully aware of the benefits of this weapon."
"It takes about half a year to train a person into a qualified soldier and master his shooting skills."
"It only takes ten days and a half for a person to learn how to use a matchlock gun."
"Your Majesty should understand what I mean, right?"
As soon as Huo Guang said these words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che's eyes immediately lit up, showing some light of hope.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the word "武" reveals the nature of Liu Che.
This guy!
He is an out-and-out war madman.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, he repeatedly attacked neighboring countries, and the attrition of soldiers was a big problem.
To replenish soldiers, they must first be trained.
You can't just grab strong men from the civilian population and let them go to the battlefield, right?
Normally!
After recruiting brave soldiers, the general needs to be trained, usually within half a year.
Actually, this doesn't matter. At worst, wait half a year before attacking the small neighboring country.
The issue is.
How much food and salary will be spent in these six months?
A single soldier doesn't cost much, but what about a hundred thousand soldiers? Where are the two hundred thousand soldiers?
Just say two years ago.
For the Battle of Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exhausted the economy accumulated over two years before winning the battle.
One hundred thousand cavalry and hundreds of thousands infantry.
How many mouths do you need!
After half a year of training, the economy accumulated by the Han Dynasty in two years had been depleted.
if.
The training time of the army was shortened from half a year to ten days and a half.
Wouldn't the issue of food and salary consumption no longer be able to constrain the ambition of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che?
"Bo Luhou, is what you said true? The training can be completed in ten and a half months?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked in surprise.
Huo Guang nodded and replied: "It's absolutely true."
"For ordinary soldiers, it takes three or four months to train them to learn archery. Forget it, and archery requires extremely high arm strength."
"Some people are so thin that they lose strength after drawing a bow and shooting an arrow a few times."
"The matchlock gun does not require the user to expend such a huge amount of effort, and only needs to use the index finger to pull the trigger."
Bows and arrows are simple.
But the bows and arrows used to kill enemies in war are not the kind of bows used at ordinary banquets.
In order to save strength, the Han army even turned their bows and arrows into crossbows at any time, and stepped on the string slot with their feet, which really took up arm strength.
Most of the cavalry used bows smaller than one stone. As for infantry, in order to be lethal, soldiers need high-tension bows and arrows.
Ordinary soldiers draw their bows a few times before they lose their strength.
So, when fighting.
Ordinary soldiers couldn't shoot a few arrows at all.
So when Huo Guang said these benefits, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked happy and said: "If what Marquis Bo Lu said is true, I will definitely support your matchlock gun."
"It takes ten days and a half to train an army that knows how to use matchlocks."
"Haha, I feel happy just thinking about it."
Seeing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been attracted by his words, Huo Guang immediately struck while the iron was hot and introduced Ouyang Zhi, saying: "Your Majesty, the matchlock gun is certainly excellent."
"But as His Majesty said before, making a matchlock gun is more troublesome than making a bow and arrow."
"For some key components, currently, only my blacksmith friend Ouyang Zhi can forge them."
"so!"
"Can your Majesty allow me to open a blacksmith shop specifically for the imperial court, bring some blacksmiths, learn from the experience, and then mass-produce matchlock guns for your Majesty?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned tightly when he heard this.
The Yantie official camp was the basis for him to ensure that the court had money.
If we make an exception and open a blacksmith shop for private individuals, it will be a big problem.
then.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, hesitated and said: "Bo Luhou, don't you know that I hate people who undermine the official policy of salt and iron?"
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I did not destroy it!"
"The official management of salt and iron is a national policy, there is no doubt about it."
"And this newly opened blacksmith shop is also a government-owned company. It specializes in producing matchlocks for His Majesty and does not make any profit for himself!"
Hear the words.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer had any doubts and said: "Okay, since Marquis Bolu has said so, I will allow you to open a blacksmith shop."
See His Majesty agree.
Huo Guang was immediately overjoyed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise."
"Yes." Han Wu Emperor Liu Che nodded, and then asked: "Does Marquis Bo Lu have anything else to say?"
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask you."
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Okay, since there is nothing to do, everyone, just retreat!"
"Oh, right."
"Marquis Bolu, keep this matchlock gun and I will study it."
Hearing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words, Huo Guang's cheek muscles couldn't help but twitch.
He didn't say that he would give this first matchlock gun as a tribute to His Majesty?
Why insist on it?
Huo Guang himself hasn't had enough fun yet!
have no choice.
Faced with the demands of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he could only pay tribute with the matchlock gun.
The gun stayed.
Huo Guang didn't expect that one of his own people would also be left behind.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, took Huo Guang directly to Shanglin Garden. There, the interested Emperor Liu Che asked Huo Guang to teach him how to use a matchlock gun.
Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was originally a smart man with outstanding talents.
This matchlock!
The operation is simple, so after three or two strokes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che mastered the essence of using this gun.
"Marquis Bolu, you really didn't lie to me. This matchlock gun is indeed easier to use than a bow and arrow. Except for the trouble of loading gunpowder, I think it is much better than a bow and arrow." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty praised.
As a very ambitious emperor!
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, already had a very terrible idea.
He wanted to build an army fully equipped with matchlocks as a special unit, just like the special training of cavalry units in the Battle of Mobei.
but.
The cavalry unit is too expensive.
The economic losses caused by the Battle of Mobei have not been replenished to this day.
The main reason is the cavalry!
Huo Guang could only reply to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words: "Your Majesty is extremely talented and can learn the matchlock gun much faster than normal people."
Upon hearing this, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, threw the matchlock gun back to Huo Guang and said: "Bo Luhou, I plan to make this matchlock gun, like the ring-shou sword, become the standard equipment of my Han soldiers. What do you think?"
Hear the words.
Huo Guang showed embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, this may be difficult. The production of matchlock guns cannot be made quickly. This is too different from the ring-shou knife."
"If Your Majesty wants to mass-produce this kind of weapon, you first need a large number of blacksmiths to work for you."
"My suggestion."
"Your Majesty will slightly improve the social status of blacksmiths, so that more people will engage in the blacksmith industry."
"With this foundation, mass production of matchlock guns is not a problem."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded and said: "What Marquis Bo Lu said makes sense, I will consider it."
"correct."
"You must keep the production of matchlocks confidential, just like the steel-making technology."
"We must not allow outsiders to learn from it."
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, still had a very strong sense of prevention.
Huo Guang nodded and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let the manufacturing method of the matchlock gun be revealed."
"."
"."
After returning from hunting in Shanglin Garden with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Huo Guang worked non-stop to select a location for the blacksmith shop.
If it's within Chang'an City, you don't have to think about it.
Mainly outside the city.
But outside the city, things can easily happen.
Huo Guang thought for a while and finally decided to build the blacksmith shop next to the South Camp.
There was originally a blacksmith shop next to South Camp.
but.
It only serves Nanda Camp, and it is responsible for things like forging horseshoes.
Huo Guang rebuilt a blacksmith shop next to it, specializing in the production of matchlock guns. This point does not conflict with the former.
And being next to Nan Daying, Huo Guang was naturally relieved.
No one dares to cause trouble here.
After the address was selected, Huo Guang mobilized manpower from where the house was being built and began to build the blacksmith shop.
Since it is only used as a place for forging and smelting iron, the construction is not a troublesome matter.
It didn't take long.
The blacksmith shop was built.
This is a blacksmith shop in the name of the imperial court, but in fact, it belongs to Huo Guang.
Next question.
That’s how to recruit blacksmiths and apprentices.
If Ouyang Zhi works alone, no matter how skilled Ouyang Zhi is, it will be difficult to produce a large number of gun barrels.
You can make as many guns as you have barrels.
This is the core issue.
If this problem is not solved, mass production will never be possible.
So Huo Guang sent Jin Yi and began to search for the private blacksmiths in front of the Yantie official camp.
at the same time.
Also started recruiting apprentices for the blacksmith shop.
It's not about blacksmithing, right?
Then there will always be a fire, right?
Those who don’t know how to do it can learn it slowly. Who hasn’t transitioned from not knowing how to do it to learning it slowly?
that's all.
The mass production of matchlock guns has also been put on the agenda.
While Huo Guang was worrying about this matter, time was also passing quickly. In the blink of an eye, it went from early March to late April.
At the meeting.
The tug-of-war about the three sons being crowned king is finally coming to an end.
at this time.
In Weiyang Palace.
Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and imperial censor Zhang Tang, two ministers who had deep conflicts with each other before, actually cooperated and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, Zhuang Qingzhai (Zhang Tang) and all the princes, 2,000 stone-level officials, Remonstrate with the officials, doctor ministers, etc. for discussion."
"Today, I will risk my life to make the prince the king of the princes!"
Regarding this advice.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was very happy, but he still said: "The reason why Uncle Kang has ten brothers and is the only one honored is to praise virtuous people."
"The Duke of Zhou was authorized to offer sacrifices to the gods in the countryside, so the state of Lu had white male animals and red cattle as sacrifices."
"Other princes sacrifice animals with impure coats. This is the difference between the wise and the unworthy."
"High morals are admirable."
“Being upright and upright is desirable!”
"I respect this very much, so for the princes who have not yet achieved virtue, it is enough to make them princes."
Even if he pretends to refuse, what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said must be based on scriptures.
It can be seen from this.
As an emperor, talent is a must.
The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be compared with Qin Shihuang, the emperor through the ages, is naturally because of his excellent ability.
If you don't have strong skills.
In the starting area, the Western Han Dynasty was afraid that it would be controlled by those women who wanted to gain political power.
Starting from Empress Lu.
Women in the Han Dynasty always had the ambition to control the power of the court.
Empress Lu had some achievements in the Han Dynasty, but she made a bad start.
So whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, the harem always wanted to interfere in the government affairs. Most of these harems do not have Empress Lu's abilities.
For example, the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
General He Jin was tricked to death by Queen Mother He!
If you can advance without dying, there will be no talk of the division of the princes later on.
certainly.
These are all things for later.
at this time.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, once again refused to grant the title of queen to the prince. A minister stood up and said, "I will risk my life to advise you. I heard that although Uncle Kang has ten brothers, King Wu will succeed to the throne and Duke Zhou will assist him to become the king." The other eight people were all granted great powers because of their grandfather and father’s nobility.”
"Uncle Kang is young, Duke Zhou is among the three princes, and Bo Qin is in the feudal state of Lu. That's because he was not yet an adult when he was granted the title of nobility."
"Later, Uncle Kang stopped Lu Fu's troubles, and Bo Qin eliminated the Huaiyi rebellion. In the past, the five emperors had different systems. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were fifth-class titles, but in the Spring and Autumn Period, only third-class titles remained."
"This is to arrange the order of superiority and inferiority according to the different systems of each dynasty."
"I, the Emperor Gao, brought order to things from chaos, showed my will and virtue, stabilized the sea, divided the princes into feudal lords, and divided their titles into two classes."
"Even if the prince is in his infancy, there are still those who are established as princes and kings to succeed the emperor. This is the law of eternity and cannot be changed!"
"Your Majesty practices benevolence and righteousness, spreads holy virtues personally, and coordinates civil and military arts to promote the virtues of love and filial piety."
"Nowadays, the princes' sons are all ennobled as princes, while the prince is ennobled as a lord. I have discussed it repeatedly with the Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai and the imperial censor Zhang Tang. They all think that this move is out of order and will disappoint the people of the world."
"This is something serious."
"I invite your Majesty to appoint the princes Liu Hong, Liu Dan, and Liu Xu as princes and kings!"
The doctor's words made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che remain silent and gave no instructions.
At this time.
In the court, all the ministers looked at each other, and then the three princes and nine ministers jointly took the lead and requested again: "Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai, Taifu Chen Gongsun He, Xingyu Shi Dafu Shi Taichang Minister Zhao Chong, Prince Shaofu Chen Ren An Xingzong risked his life to remonstrate with him on business matters!"
"The prime minister has discussed this matter privately with twenty-seven princes, and they all think that there is no order of honor and inferiority."
"Emperor Gao founded the world, became the great ancestor, made his descendants kings, and expanded his support. He should not change the laws of the former emperor, but should continue to show his supremacy."
"I request your majesty to order the historian to choose an auspicious day, prepare a list of etiquette and present it, and order the censor to submit a map. Everything else remains as before."
After the ministers took turns to give advice.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was "helpless in every possible way" and finally relaxed. With a feeling that "the soldiers have really hurt me", he issued an edict and said: "Yes!"
Obtained the imperial edict and instructions from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
A few days later, Grand Servant Sun He came to the court again to advise Taichang Zhao Chong, who learned through divination that April 18th, B hour, was an auspicious day on the zodiac, and he could establish princes and kings. He asked Your Majesty to name the feudal country.
then.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, issued another edict: "Make Prince Liu Hong the King of Qi, Liu Dan the King of Yan, and Liu Xu the King of Guangling."
in this way.
The drama of these three sons becoming kings has finally come to an end.
However, this drama has come to an end, and a new drama is about to take place.
one year later.
The brief cooperation between the imperial censor Zhang Tang and Prime Minister Zhuang Qing and Zhai ended in the incident of the prince's title of king, and the final stage of their political struggle ushered in.
It's strange to say.
The reason for the accident of the previous prime minister Li Cai was that the land in Yangling of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty was occupied by him.
The problem that Prime Minister Zhuang Qing and Zhai had this time was that someone had stolen the coins buried in Emperor Wen's mausoleum.
To be honest.
The two emperors Wen and Jing were really miserable.
There is no peace after death. Either the land is occupied by others, or the coins are stolen and mined.
However, this matter is different from that of the previous Prime Minister Li Cai.
Li Cai was responsible for occupying the land next to Emperor Jing's Yang Mausoleum of Han Dynasty, while Zhuang Qingzhai was responsible for the theft and digging of coins from Emperor Wen's mausoleum, so he only had three-thirds of the responsibility.
regarding this matter.
Zhuang Qingzhai didn't take it too seriously.
No.
On this day of the court meeting, Zhuang Qingzhai happened to enter the palace gate with Zhang Tang. The two looked at each other and started chatting with each other.
Just listen to Zhuang Qingzhai say: "Does Yushi Zhang know that coins were stolen from Emperor Wen's mausoleum?"
Zhang Tang snorted lightly and said, "I know."
Hear the words.
Zhuang Qingzhai sighed again and said: "Hey, it's a pity that I don't know who did it. Zhang Yushi, as the three princes, you and I have unshirkable responsibilities for this matter."
"When we get to the palace, you and I will apologize to His Majesty at the same time."
"I think it's not our fault."
"Your Majesty will probably not really blame you."
Hearing the words of Prime Minister Zhuang Qingdi, Zhang Tang smiled lightly and said: "Haha, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!"
Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai was very satisfied with Zhang Tang's statement.
In Zhuang Qingzhai's eyes.
As the prime minister, he ranks first among all officials.
Zhang Tang is just a censor, so he should treat himself this way.
After the two talked for a while, they immediately entered the palace.
Inside the palace.
Because Emperor Wen's mausoleum was stolen and coins were mined, this matter has caused quite a stir in Chang'an City.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, who had lived in the palace for a long time, had heard about this.
then.
At the court meeting that day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was furious and asked the prime minister: "The late emperor's tomb was stolen and coins were mined. You, the prime minister, don't know who did it?"
Zhuang Qingzhai showed embarrassment on his face and said: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime of negligence. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
"Forgive me, how do you ask me to forgive you?" Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, glared at Zhuang Qingzhai and said, "There is Yangling in front of us, and the land was occupied by Prime Minister Li Cai."
"After you, Zhuang Qingzhai, I don't know who stole the coins from Emperor Wen's mausoleum."
"My face is swollen from being beaten, and you still want to forgive me?"
actually.
Zhuang Qingzhai is really not to blame for this.
Thieves dug up coins from Emperor Wen's mausoleum. Zhuang Qingzhai couldn't do anything about it!
Is it possible?
Does he have the ability to predict things and stop thieves in advance?
It’s impossible even if you think about it!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did nothing more than vent his anger.
The prime minister could only be implicated a little bit, and even if he died, he would only be jointly and severally responsible.
At this time.
Zhuang Qingzhai, who was scolded, quickly looked at Zhang Tang, the censor doctor on the side, and motioned him to confess to His Majesty with him as originally agreed.
In this way, if both people bear responsibility at the same time, their guilt will be even smaller.
But Zhang Tang was standing aside at this time, completely ignoring Zhuang Qingzhai's gaze.
But at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che noticed Zhuang Qingzhai's gaze and scolded him again: "Why are you looking so blindly at me? Didn't you listen to a word I was talking to you?"
Hear the words.
Zhuang Qingzhai quickly looked away and said: "Your Majesty, I am very frightened after hearing this!"
The Prime Minister no longer dared to look at Zhang Tang, who was standing beside him.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finished reprimanding Zhuang Qingzhai, he looked at Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, and said, "Zhang Tang!"
Zhang Tang quickly bowed and said, "I'm here, old minister!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and ordered: "You are a court official, so I leave this matter to you to investigate, and you must find out the person who stole it."
"I want to see who it is that eats the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."
"You dare to steal the tomb of Emperor Wen!"
Upon hearing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's order, Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, quickly replied: "No."
After seeing Zhang Tang’s reply.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Today, I am in a bad mood and don't want to deal with other matters. Let's just retire from the court!"
The words fell.
The ministers bowed and left the Weiyang Palace.
Zhang Tang left the palace first without waiting for Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai.
at this time.
Zhuang Qingzhai, who had a very bad expression, chased Zhang Tang from behind and asked, "Zhang Tang, I want to ask you. Previously, you promised to confess to His Majesty and share the responsibility with me."
"Why do you stay alone when you are here?"
"what do you mean?"
In response to the Prime Minister's question, Zhang Tang just looked around inexplicably, and then said as if he was minding his own business: "Hey, who is talking to me? Strange, I only heard his voice but didn't see him?"
"It's really a supernatural phenomenon!"
"Could it be?"
"The person who stole Emperor Wen's tomb relied on this ability to steal?"
"No wonder the Prime Minister can't catch this person, eh."
Finished mocking.
Dr. Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, wiped his goatee and continued walking forward with a smile.
As for the Prime Minister?
He was ignored directly.
Zhang Tang found it very funny what Zhuang Qingzhai said and did.
Why does he think that he should share the responsibility with him?
The former Prime Minister Li Cai never asked him to bow his head once. You, Zhuang Qingzhai, have only been in office for a long time, and you are trying to support yourself?
What a beautiful thought.
Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai, who was behind Zhang Tang, was so angry that he gritted his teeth at Zhang Tang's mocking behavior.
But there is nothing to do.
In fact, the prime minister was right when he asked Zhang Tang to plead guilty with him.
The imperial censor has the responsibility of supervision, so when this happened, the censor could not escape his involvement.
otherwise.
Why did Zhuang Qingzhai go to court and say those words to Zhang Tang?
It's just that it was set up at this time.
After Zhang Tang returned to the Censor's Mansion, he called his subordinate Censor to explain the matter, and then reminded him: "You should handle this matter according to normal procedures, but in the process, you must shift the responsibility to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Remember, you must not drag us into the Imperial Palace."
"By the time."
"I'm going to charge the Prime Minister's office with knowingly committing crimes. I see what the Prime Minister's ability is so that he can be removed from office without being punished."
Political struggle.
This is how they accuse each other in such a simple and unpretentious manner.
Zhang Tang could tell this in front of his subordinates, the Censor's Mansion. There was no doubt that the Censor's Mansion official he called must be his confidant.
As for the Yushi Mansion.
That's where Zhang Tang, the imperial censor, has his office.
This is similar to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
There are a total of 341 officials, big and small, in the Yushi Mansion. Except for Yushi Zhongcheng, Yushicheng and forty-five other officials with the title of Yushi, the rest are just subordinate officials of the Yushi.
And in front of the imperial censor.
These officials, big and small, in the Yushi Mansion are all his subordinates.
only.
People like Censor Zhongcheng are not under his control.
Why not.
Because the censor Zhongcheng usually follows the emperor and listens to the emperor's orders. The censor can't show off his power in front of his majesty, right?
now.
The confidant censor who was called by Zhang Tang immediately said after hearing what he said: "I understand, don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will do it according to your instructions at this time."
Zhang Tang heard this and immediately smiled and said: "After Zhuang Qingzhai is condemned and dismissed from office, I will be the candidate with the best chance of becoming prime minister."
"By the time."
"I will definitely recommend you to your Majesty for the vacant position of imperial censor."
The confidant Censor immediately showed joy and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang for your kindness."
