Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 327 Jie Zhou is ashamed

"Don't come, let him stop, I say! I say! I say it all!!"

When Zhang Yue woke up again, he finally couldn't stand this cycle anymore.

When the former big Han Xiao begged for mercy in horror, the officials looked at him but there was no contempt in their eyes. They understood Zhang Yue very well, and they even sympathized with Zhang Yue.Zhang Yue was also a fierce general when he was young, fighting east and west, but now he is an old man in his sixties.

The king is strong and strong, tearing tigers and leopards with his hands. He has the courage of Qingji Xiangji, let alone Zhang Yue.The king is cruel. He came to beat Zhang Yue day after day. At first, he might just be out of anger. Later, he might have developed such a bad habit.

Wang Tianqi asked Liu Chang several times, hoping that Liu Chang could end such torture. In history, I have never heard of a king torturing a minister like this, even a prisoner. Such inhuman behavior is really not something a wise king can do. It's not even certain that it will last a few days.Liu Chang took this seriously, and immediately called the imperial physician to treat Zhang Yue to ensure that he would not be beaten to death.

In the end, even Zhang Shizhi couldn't stand it anymore. He reminded the king that if the king's behavior was known to future generations, and the dignified king personally tortured criminals, he was afraid that it would be bad for thousands of years. People push criminals onto bronze pillars. I have never heard that King Zhou himself pushed people up. Your Majesty can make people beat him, but he can't come in person. This is something that even King Zhou cannot do!
From time to time, some famous people sneered, saying that the great king had surpassed Jie Zhou.

But Liu Chang obviously didn't care much about this. If he couldn't ask the source of those armored crossbows, he would not be stable for a day.

He himself is not afraid of these, but these armored crossbows can be used to deal with him, and they can also be used to deal with the three shuzi in the future, and they can deal with such cruel officials as Liu Jing and Zhang Budo. Liu Chang does not allow such threats to be in his own hands. under the eyelids.

Zhang Yue still couldn't take it anymore, when he opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

Zhang Shizhi was extremely excited. Although he didn't agree with the king's method, it was really useful.

"Speak! Where did the armor and crossbow come from?!"

"Arsenal! It was sold by the palace arsenal order!"

Zhang Yue shouted, and at that moment, the surrounding officials instantly fell silent, Zhang Shizhi widened his eyes, looked at him in disbelief, dropped the pen in his hand, and asked angrily: " You'd better invite it truthfully, if you talk nonsense, I'm worried that the king will come to beat you immediately!"

I can't blame Zhang Shizhi for not believing that this arsenal is an institution used by the great Han to store weapons. As for the palace arsenal, it is the largest arsenal in Chang'an. This arsenal is located in the middle of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, surrounded by walls. It is the only building in the city that can match the height of the palace walls. The guards are extremely strict. The number of armors and crossbows stored in it can only be known by the three public level.

Whenever the big man is ready to go on a large-scale expedition, he will take out the ordnance of the arsenal as the logistics of the elite army.

The rebels used the weapons in the palace arsenal to rebel. How could this sound absurd, how could it be possible?
Just talking about transportation, this arsenal is surrounded by a palace, how can so many armors and crossbows be transported out in full view?

Besides, who would dare to do that?

The arsenal only obeyed the orders of the captain and the king, even if the emperor personally ordered it, it was difficult to take a pair of armor from the arsenal. Could it be that the captain rebelled? ?

At this point, the officials did not dare to think any further. Hearing that the Taiwei suddenly said that he was going to send troops to Hexi, many ministers opposed it, and Zhang Yue heard Zhang Shizhi's intimidation and screamed in fright.

"Don't let him come, don't let him come! It was really taken from the palace's arsenal. There are many more in the arsenal. The price is clearly marked!"

Zhang Yue explained how he connected to the arsenal order, how to buy ordnance, and how to distribute the weapons in various places with the help of the other party. Zhang Shizhi believed it a little bit. No wonder he couldn't find out how these ordnance entered. In Chang'an, it turns out that these weapons are basically the weapons in Chang'an, and they even came out of the palace.

Zhang Shizhi took a deep breath and looked at the surrounding officials.

"Today's events must not be spread out."

"I understand."

Zhang Shizhi realized the seriousness of the matter, and was about to go out when he saw Liu Chang suddenly flash in from the door, grinning and rushing towards Zhang Yue, Zhang Shizhi was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Hit it! Don't hit it! He's tricking! Trick."

Before Zhang Shizhi's words were finished, Liu Chang's iron fist had already landed on Zhang Yue's body, and Zhang Yue lost consciousness again.

Liu Chang realized something and closed his fists.

"He recruited??"

"Yes."

Zhang Shizhi stared blankly at the fainted Zhang Yue, Liu Chang muttered in a low voice, Zhang Shizhi clearly heard that the king was saying what a pity, his own king really went further and further on the road of being a human being .

Zhang Shizhi had Zhang Yue taken away, so he reported the situation to Chang Liu in private.

"Early after you ordered that the honorable person should not be arrogant and possess more arable land than his title, this fellow wanted to rebel against the countless arable lands under his name. In response to your decree, he distributed the arable land to many of his relatives, and even secretly He signaled them to seize the people's arable land and forced them to kill many people, while he lived in a shabby house all day and wore shabby clothes to show his poverty."

"But this matter was later discovered by the imperial censor, Duke Zhang, who confiscated everything and killed more than [-] of his relatives. He wanted to send someone to kill Duke Zhang, but several of the guests he sent were Korean, and they were unwilling to do so. He attacked Zhang Gong, so he committed suicide because he was worried that these people would reveal the truth, and he was worried and fearful all day, and began to actively contact the unscrupulous officials, and wanted to rebel together."

"Zhang Budo. He actually allowed others to commit suicide for him"

Liu Chang suddenly muttered.

Apparently, the king had once again strayed from the topic.

Zhang Shizhi said very seriously: "It's not because of Duke Zhang, but because of Liuhou, Liuhou's father and grandfather are all well-known virtuous prime ministers in Korea, and the Koreans love him deeply. Liuhou is determined to return to Korea, and the Koreans are willing to fight to the death for him. King Han is unbearable. The Han people are unwilling to attack Zhang Gong, probably because of the grace of his ancestors."

Zhang Shizhi said again: "Your Majesty, continue to talk about Zhang Yue. This guy has contacted everyone one after another. When he needed an armor and a heavy crossbow, someone contacted him. The person who contacted him is the current arsenal order. Those weapons are. From the palace arsenal!!"

Hearing Zhang Shizhi's words, Liu Chang really jumped up angrily, "What? Is it a widow's ordnance??"

"The widow has worked hard to store up the ordnance for so long, and he is reluctant to use it, but let the rebels use it first?!"

"The widow must cook him! Cook him!"

Liu Chang was angry, turned around and left here, Zhang Shizhi hurriedly followed him, "Your Majesty, we don't have any evidence yet. We can investigate it first, and we can't make a big deal of it, otherwise the temple will lose face."

"Catch first and then check!"

When Liu Chang led the soldiers like tigers and wolves to the arsenal, the officials of the arsenal hurried to meet. The palace arsenal is very special because it is inside the palace, between Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace, so both They are eunuchs, and the arsenal order is also a eunuch.

This palace arsenal order doesn't look like a eunuch at all, he is tall, dignified, and quite majestic, but his eyes are a little slender, like a poisonous snake, and a little cunning.

At this moment, he stared blankly at the wolf-like soldiers around him.

"Your Majesty. Are you going to get ordnance?"

"To take the weapons? Nai Gong is here to take your dog's head!"

Liu Chang grabbed the man's neck and asked, "The dog entered, how did you get the ordnance dirty?"

"Your Majesty! I've never done such a thing! I'm wronged!"

The man said firmly: "Your Majesty! You can check, I have absolutely no corrupt behavior!"

A few officials on the side were also a little hesitant. Chai Wu, who led the troops, frowned, "Your Majesty, this person is from Yan, and he is called Bank of China. He is diligent and diligent on weekdays, reporting daily, and there is never a shortage."

"what is his name?"

"The Bank of China said."

Liu Chang frowned, pondered for a long time, and then looked at the eunuch in front of him.

"Why is it such a strange name? Take it down first and check it out!"

"only!!"

The investigation that followed was not very smooth. The Bank of China said that he was exceptionally innocent. In the eyes of everyone, he was also a good official with due diligence and was deeply loved by his colleagues.He denied that he knew Zhang Yue, nor did he admit that he was selling ordnance. The trading mansion identified by Zhang Yue was confirmed to be a deserted residential house for a long time. Say.

This person is so clean and outrageous. Zhang Shizhi has searched carefully for four or five days, but he has not found the slightest evidence of the crime, let alone reselling weapons. It is the mistake that ministers often make like Juyin. He has never done it. , The behavior on weekdays is simply cleaner than Zhou Xiang.

Either Zhang Yue lied, or the Bank of China said that the evidence was destroyed in advance.

Although there is no criminal evidence, Zhang Shizhi is still very suspicious of the Bank of China, mainly because he is too clean. Rather than believing that this sage is a selfless and virtuous man, Zhang Shizhi is more willing to believe that he is a highly disguised person. Traitor!This rebellion is absolutely inseparable from him.

Zhang Shizhi imprisoned him for a few days, suffering from no evidence of crime, but he was helpless.

Unless the emperor personally ordered to find the armor, Tingwei would not dare to find armor from their house at will, and Tingwei had no such power.

But Zhang Shizhi didn't panic, because the officials were counting the amount of equipment in the arsenal. As long as the situation of the ordnance was counted, the matter could be found out sooner or later.

Wang Tianqi set his target on Zhang Yue again, but Zhang Shizhi was the only one who continued to do his best to investigate, and even brought his family to Chang'an for the investigation. Dissatisfied, even Tingwei's colleagues said that he was in a hurry for meritorious deeds.

There are a lot of ordnance in the arsenal, and it is not easy to find out in a short time.

While Ting Wei was doing his best to investigate this matter, Liu Chang was still playing with his boobs in the palace.

Children are the most fun, with wrinkled skin, holding it in his hand, staring straight at his father with slightly opened eyes, looking up and down, realizing that this is not his grandmother, and immediately began to open his mouth and cry When he got up, Liu Chang had to give this guy to his grandmother. When Fan Qing was holding Bo, the guy didn't cry anymore, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and opened his mouth.

Liu Chang didn't believe in evil, so he secretly took the child from Fan Qing's hands again. His cautious appearance was distressing, but no matter how careful he was, the little guy seemed to have a sense, opened his eyes, opened his mouth again, and cried. Loud.

Liu Chang cursed and returned Liu Bo to Fan Qing.

"This Shuzi, the widow knows that he should have a daughter, but Ann only knows his mother. The same is true for this fellow. If it is a daughter, she will definitely not cry in the widow's arms, you will be fine if you hold it!"

Liu Chang cursed, but Fan Qing rolled his eyes at him, "Who made you look so fierce? Bo is afraid of you!"

"The widow is so handsome, this Shuzi doesn't know anything!"

"I bother!"

Seeing the two children quarreling, Cao Shu couldn't help but reprimanded: "In front of the children, swear words are not allowed, especially the king, and it should not be so that children can learn!"

"Oh"

Liu Chang glanced at the little guy who squinted and closed his eyes in Fan Qing's arms. He couldn't help but imitate Luan Bu's appearance. He raised his head and sighed, "Oh, when can I have a daughter?", An Na Shuzi When something happens, my grandmother never pays attention to his grandfather. The same is true for Bo's Shuzi. As soon as she hugs him, she will cry, and his grandmother will laugh when she hugs him.

"Bo. Just wait, if the widow has a daughter in the future, you ask the widow to hold you, and the widow will not hold you."

Just when Liu Changchang was complaining, a valet complained suddenly.

Wang Tianqi, Zhang Shizhi and the others came.

Liu Chang asked Cao Shu and Fan Qing to take their children away, and met the three himself.

As soon as he saw them, Liu Chang couldn't wait to ask: "How? How? Has the arsenal been counted?"

Wang Tianqi nodded, "Your Majesty, we carefully counted according to the original list, and found that no armor and ordnance were lost."

Liu Chang was taken aback, "Could it be that you wronged a good person?"

Zhang Shizhi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the arsenal is responsible for that list. How can you know that there is no fraud? You should let Shang Fang and other governments cooperate and thoroughly investigate the number of armors and heavy crossbows manufactured over the years. Verify this list. authenticity.”

Before Zhang Shizhi could finish his words, Lu Lu interrupted him displeasedly, "Do you want to thoroughly investigate the armor and heavy crossbows manufactured over the years? How much iron?"

The sources of ordnance in the arsenal are complex, and it is indeed a bit complicated to thoroughly investigate the ordnance manufacturing during the four years that the Bank of China said it served as the arsenal order.

In the face of Lu Lu's ridicule, Zhang Shizhi became very serious, "Your Majesty, people in the world say that the Qin state is tyrannical, but the Qin state has a lot of rules and regulations, from mining, manufacturing, to storage and delivery, there are detailed details. It is recorded that when the Han Dynasty was founded, there were not enough officials and it was not easy to enforce the government, so it was neglected. Up to now, we can't even figure out how many ordnances are in the arsenal."

"Bold! How dare you praise the violent Qin? Are you trying to fight against Han and restore Qin?!"

Lu Lu interrupted him angrily.

However, Liu Chang gave Zhang Shiyi a deep look. If this fellow was born in Qin, he would definitely be a good dog under King Qin's tent. He could be the third prince and then be killed by Qin Ershi.However, what this guy said is not unreasonable. Han is indeed a little worse than Qin in terms of meticulous handling. The main reason is the relaxed social atmosphere of Dahan. It is impossible to make the whole country become a high-precision like Qin. The machine, the officials are like gears, and dare not make the slightest mistake.

"You still doubt what that Bank of China said?"

"Correct!"

"Can there be evidence of guilt?"

"no!"

Zhang Shizhi was not straight and strong, but Liu Chang narrowed his eyes. He let a few people go out first, leaving Zhang Shizhi behind.

"The widow knows that you are not someone who framed others for credit. Why did you bite the little official this time?"

"Your Majesty, there are many officials in this dynasty, no matter who they are, there must be some dishonorable things about the three princes of the dynasty, Zhou Gong is so upright, but he often suppresses the officials under his command, and he is unwilling to give credit to them and summon the minister to work diligently. He is diligent and conscientious, but he communicates closely with the ministers and often exchanges gifts with each other.

"As for the officials at the bottom, this is even more so. Who will not make mistakes? Only this person has no trace of evil, and there is no perfect person in the world. This person must be a wicked person!"

Liu Chang was very dissatisfied with this, "How can there be no perfect people? A widow is a generation of perfect people!"

The momentum on Zhang Shizhi was immediately broken, and he hesitated for a long time, "Except the king?"

"Okay, well said, you continue to check this person!"

"However, if this person has really eliminated the evidence, he can only use special means."

"Your Majesty! I can't fight anymore!"

"Oh, the widow didn't want to beat him. You said, what kind of person would leave his suspicions so innocent?"

"I don't know."

"People who are afraid of death."

Zhang Shiyi was stunned, "What does the king mean?"

Although he was imprisoned in Tingwei's prison, Bank of China said that he was not afraid, his face was very calm, and he had been waiting quietly without even complaining.

Finally, Chang Liu walked into the prison, glanced at the Bank of China in front of him, and said.

Beside him, he was followed by several important officials, including Zhang Budo. They all attached great importance to the matter of the arsenal this time. If the arsenal had secretly selling ordnance, what happened to the rest of the big man? In this way, they couldn't believe it at all, and even Tai Li Han Xin, who was in a hurry to go to Hexi, was disturbed at this moment and stood beside Liu Chang.

Han Xin squinted his eyes and looked at the Bank of China in front of him.

"Zhang Shizhi? What happened to this person?"

"Your Majesty! I haven't figured out the case yet, I haven't found out what he has."

"Forget it, forget it, there is no need for another trial."

Liu Chang interrupted Zhang Shizhi very simply, and the Bank of China who was locked in the prison said, bowing his head, but a smile appeared on his face, even if Tingwei could do it?
Liu Changchang waved his hand and said, "It's very troublesome to check it, drag it out and behead it!"

Bank of China said abruptly raised his head, but he could no longer maintain his original calm appearance, and shouted: "Your Majesty! I am innocent! I am innocent!!"

"The widow said you were guilty, how dare you be innocent?!"

Liu Chang asked fiercely.

At that moment, the ministers were stunned, and Bank of China said with rounded eyes, unable to speak.

"Drag and chop!"

ps: Hahaha, the little guy's nickname is Ruihu. If he is smart and sensible in the future, he will be my Ruihu. If he dares to make a fuss, he will be Shuzi!The child has been out of separate custody and is currently in good condition. I am fat and fat. I also took advantage of the rest time to type a chapter on my mobile phone.
