The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 133

Jian Shuo returned to the palace, told Lin Chao's account with the attendants and others, and immediately got Zhang Rang's approval.

"This plan is really ingenious. In a blink of an eye, I will be able to turn the customer into the master!" Zhang Rang exclaimed, "Mr. Jian, who is this gentleman to have such talent?"

"Mr. Zhang, our family doesn't know." Jian Shuo shook his head and said, "He just bought three county magistrates from our family a few days ago. As for the others, Mr. Zhang may not believe it. Never saw his face."

Hearing this, Zhang Rang was also a little surprised.

This person is too cautious, and he refuses to show his face.

"Mr. Jian, who did he buy the county magistrate for?" Zhang Rang asked again.

"Xun Yu, the palace guard, Xun Chen, who is in charge of the Jizhou government, and Xun You, the servant of the Yellow Gate of the General's Mansion, are these three people."

"According to this, this person is from the Xun family of Yingchuan?"

It's not to blame Zhang Rang for thinking this way, after all, San Xun is an elite talent of Xun's generation.

"Our family doesn't feel like it. This gentleman has always acted like a powerful and unconstrained style. Since he doesn't want us to know his identity, then buying officials for these three people may be just a cover-up to confuse us. "

Zhao Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since Mr. Zhang wants to know the identity of this person, why don't we send someone to investigate?"

"No, it's better not to do this." Zhang Rang shook his head and said, "This person is willing to help us with advice, which means that he is not a person with a heart for the gentry, and it is best to maintain the status quo. If Zhao Gong investigates rashly, it is likely to attract This person is not happy, if this person goes to join He Tuhu in a fit of anger, it will be bad."

After thinking about the means shown by Lin Chao, Zhang Rang still thought that he should not startle the snake.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang's words are justified. If the butcher gets help from this person, we will have a hard time in the future."

Jian Shuo also reacted and nodded in agreement.

"Since Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jian disagree, then our family is too lazy to be this villain." Zhao Zhong said indifferently, "Anyway, no matter who he is, as long as he is willing to help us with ideas, he is not our enemy."

"Mr. Zhao's words are reasonable. Let's hurry up and report to His Majesty."

In the West Garden, Shi Changshi saw Liu Hong again.

At this time, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was standing by the artificial lake in the West Garden, holding a large bowl of grain in his hand, and sprinkled it into the lake from time to time, attracting fish to scramble for it.

The scene of a large group of fish competing for food was very lively and quite spectacular, which attracted Liu Hong to applaud frequently.

"See Your Majesty!"

The ten attendants bowed together and saluted, attracting Liu Hong's attention.

"Oh, why are you here together?" Liu Hong asked Zhang Rang, "Mr. Zhang, have you packed your bags? You don't need to bring a lot of things. Anyway, I'm only staying outside the palace for a few days. They will send someone to take you back to the palace."

As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, he saw Zhang Rang walking two quick steps in front of him, and then...

Pfft!
Zhang Rang knelt down in front of Liu Hong, weeping bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this old servant is reluctant to part with Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhang Rang crying heartbreakingly, Liu Hong quickly put down the fish food in his hand, patted Zhang Rang on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Why is Mr. Zhang doing this? It's just to live outside the palace for a few days, and it's not like we won't see each other again."

Although the current emperor Liu Hong is not a good emperor, he cannot be called a bad person.

Since he ascended the throne at a young age, Zhang Rang and others have been by his side for so many years.For them, Liu Hong has long regarded them as relatives, so he turned a blind eye to certain things, and ignored them.

At this time, seeing Zhang Rang crying sadly, Liu Hong hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"Of course, this old slave understands, but for many years, this old slave has served His Majesty by his side. Once this old slave leaves the palace, he is worried that others will not serve His Majesty well!"

It was fine if Liu Hong didn't persuade him, but after this persuasion, Zhang Rang cried even harder.

Hearing his cry, Liu Hong thought of Zhang Rang's achievements over the years, and felt a little sad.

But thinking about the price of the three princes and the one-year salary of the court officials, Liu Hong had no choice but to be cruel.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang gets up first and then we'll talk, isn't it just going to live outside the palace for two days. Don't worry, I will send more people to follow and take care of your daily life."

After saying this, not only did Zhang Rang not get up, but Zhao Zhong beside him also knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the old slave and others are wronged!" Zhao Zhong cried, "The old slave only serves His Majesty and doesn't understand anything else, but those ministers say that the old slave has harmed the world! How can there be such a reason? His Majesty!"

"Mr. Zhao, you got it wrong." Liu Hong supported Zhao Zhong, and comforted him, "Then Chen Yuanfang said that from the court to the Sangong, down to the hundred officials, they are all wrong. It's not just that you have caused chaos in the world."

"Since the disaster is not entirely on the old slave, why should the old slave be expelled!" Zhao Zhong continued to cry, "The old slave has served His Majesty for most of his life, how can he live outside the palace!"

Seeing Zhao Zhong pestering him endlessly, a trace of impatience flashed in Liu Hong's eyes, but he still explained: "Didn't I just say that I will pick you up in two days."

Zhang Rang saw that the fire was almost done, and if he continued, it might cause Liu Hong's disgust, so he said: "Your Majesty, the old slave and others are at fault, but the old slave is willing to make amends, and I just ask your majesty not to expel the old slave." Get out of the palace!"

"Condemn meritorious deeds?" Liu Hong asked curiously, "How to decriminalize meritorious deeds?"

"Your Majesty, this old slave does not understand the warning from God. But all the ministers in the court and His Majesty are concerned about the rebellion in Bingzhou." Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and said, "This old slave and others are willing to spend all their wealth to support Your Majesty's mobilization of troops to quell the chaos may offset the crimes of the old slave and others."

"Mr. Zhang's words are serious?"

As soon as he heard Qian, Liu Hong's eyes lit up, and he said hastily.

Originally, Liu Hong's idea was to confiscate the annual gifts of all the officials, and sell the Sangong again, which might be able to make up for the money and food needed for this dispatch of troops.If not enough, the rest can only be paid for by yourself.

After all, the treasury has no money, and Xihe and Hedong are too close to the capital.As the emperor, Liu Hong couldn't really just sit back and watch the rebels attack Luoyang.

But now that Zhang Rang is willing to pay money to calm the chaos, he is naturally very happy!

If this is the case, instead of losing money, I can receive all the salaries of the officials and the money from selling the three princes into my pocket.

This deal is a bargain!

This time, Liu Hong thought he had won.

"In front of Your Majesty, how dare this old slave make jokes!" Zhang Rang wiped the snot and tears from his face, and said resolutely, "It is the honor of this old slave to relieve His Majesty's worries. Anyway, this old slave is just an eunuch with incomplete six roots. , it’s useless to come.”

"What Zhang Gong said is very true, the old slave and others are willing to share the worries for His Majesty!"

Zhongchang servant Qiqi knelt down on the ground and agreed with Zhang Rangdao

"Okay, okay!" Liu Hong laughed loudly, "You are indeed loyal ministers of my big man!"

"Send the edict."

Liu Hongsheng was afraid that Zhang Rang and others would repent, so he waved his sleeves quickly.

Hearing this, one of the regular servants immediately stood up, and it was Huangmen who was in charge of accompanying the attendant.This person walked to the emperor with a pen and paper in his hand, waiting to write what Liu Hong said.

"Mr. Zhen Zhun, Chen Yuanfang. From now on, the incumbent three princes will be dismissed, and at the same time, the best will be selected. Officials with more than [-] shi in the court will be fined for one year, so as to imitate others."

"In addition, all the servants should have been expelled from the palace, but I pity him for his crime and meritorious deeds, and ordered his family's money to be paid for the army, so as to see the effect."

As the emperor spoke, the eunuch next to him wrote quickly.

It wasn't until after writing that Zhang Rang and the others finally put their hearts into their stomachs.

Now you don't have to leave the palace anymore!
Seeing that Liu Hong was in a good mood, Zhang Rang took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I have one more request, I hope Your Majesty will grant it!"

"Whatever request Zhang Gong has, you can say as much as you want, and I will agree to it."

Just took other people's money, Liu Hong was too embarrassed to agree.

"Your Majesty, whenever there is trouble in the past few years, those ministers say that the old slave and others have ruined the world!" Zhang Rang squeezed out a few tears skillfully, and continued to cry, "But the old slave and others are really wronged! So I implore Your Majesty, this time the leader of the army will be appointed by the old slave. When the battle is won, the old slave will also be able to enjoy the glory and gag those people's mouths to vent the grievance in my heart!"

If Zhang Rang wanted to control the military power by making indirect remarks, Liu Hong would definitely be extremely vigilant.

But this time he directly stated his purpose, Liu Hong believed it instead.

"This matter is also easy to handle." Liu Hong chuckled lightly, and said, "Chuan Zhao, the candidate for the lead this time does not need to be discussed by the general and the court, but can be directly appointed by the regular servants."

"Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied now?"

After that, Liu Hong smiled and pulled Zhang Rang up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang first thanked him loudly, and then he was supported by the emperor and slowly stood up.
