"Thinking of Zhang Tang's contribution to him over the years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt deeply sorry for him and decided to order Zhang Tang to be buried with honors."

"But, Zhang Tang's mother rejected him!"

"She said: "A minister who was slandered and committed suicide does not deserve such a rich burial"!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very ashamed after hearing this and sighed: "But this mother would not have given birth to this son!" "

"Subsequently, the three prime ministers including Zhu Maichen who impeached Zhang Tang were killed, and the prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai was afraid of committing suicide because of this."

"Zhang Tang is known as the "cruel official" in history books. He perfected the criminal laws and regulations for the Western Han Dynasty, formulated regulations to maintain the emperor's majesty around Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "distribution of military power to the world", resolutely opposed the marriage with the Xiongnu, and was full of confidence in ordinary people. Care and compassion.”

"However, he is also recognized as a cool official, good at making friends with powerful princes, and a well-rounded person."

"After Zhang Tang was imprisoned, he never confessed, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent his friend Zhao Yu to persuade him."

"Zhao Yu was also a minor official, and he knew Zhang Tang's psychological flaws well, so he used a few "heart-breaking words" to shake Zhang Tang's belief."

"Zhang Tang immediately understood what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty meant. He wanted Zhang Tang, a "cruel official", to plead guilty first."

"If necessary in the future, you can use him to "kill chickens and scare monkeys" to set off the emperor's wisdom and martial prowess."

"That night, he wrote a letter to Liu Che in prison and then committed suicide."

"This is what the letter said: "Tang started his career as a swordsman and pen official, and rose to the rank of Third Duke because of His Majesty's favor. Now there is nothing to absolve him of his guilt. However, the people who conspired to frame Zhang Tang were the three chief historians of the Prime Minister's Office. "

"Zhang Tang did not have any complaints against Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his letter, but he also pointed out that "there is no way to absolve him of his guilt." This shows that he knew Liu Che's thoughts well, but he did not reveal it, making Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty himself ashamed."

"However, he felt that he was not willing to die in such an unexplained way, so he pulled out the three ministers who framed him to back him up."

"As long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt guilty, these three people would not be able to escape the fate of being killed. This is also the case. How can a man with so many faces not be able to see the thoughts of the people around him."

"This Zhu Maichen was also an important minister. He was called a capable minister in governing the world by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was the protagonist of the stories of "Walking at Night in Brocade Clothes" and "The Overflowing Water Cannot Be Recovered".

"When Zhu Maichen became famous, Zhang Tang was just a minor official. At that time, Zhang Tang was respectful and respectful to him."

"When Zhu Maichen was promoted from the governor of Kuaiji to the chief minister of the prime minister's office, Zhang Tang had risen to power and surpassed the prime minister, and his attitude towards him gradually became arrogant."

"Zhu Maichen couldn't bear this tone. In addition, the power of the Prime Minister's Office was taken away by Zhang Tang, so he and the other two long history tried every means to falsely accuse Zhang Tang and resolve both public and private hatred."

"However, they didn't expect that a "cruel official" like Zhang Tang could be so honest and commit suicide to express his ambition. In the end, they shot themselves in the foot!"

"The Hanwu period was an era when cruel officials were prevalent, and the purpose of the prevalence was to serve Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "distribution of military power to the world."

"During the Hanwu period, many people understood Liu Che's ambitions, but even more did not support him."

"In order to eliminate the opposition, Liu Che had to resort to "cruel officials" to tie the entire Han Dynasty to the chariot!"

"Zhang Tang is a knife in Liu Che's hand. He can endure being called a "cruel official" because everything he does is for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the country of the Han Dynasty. The history books will definitely make a fair judgment on him."

"However, he cannot tolerate being accused of being a corrupt official."

"Once this crime is confirmed, not only will the faith he once fought for be shattered, but he will also never escape the criticism of the iron pen of history!"

"Although the death of Zhang Tang awakened the kindness in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, since his death, the laws and disciplines of the Han Dynasty have gradually relaxed, corruption has gradually become serious, and the strictness and clarity of the time when Zhang Tang was alive are no longer the same."

"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were very few people who were loyal and good, so I will give you an example."     "There are loyal ministers and there are treacherous ministers. When I talked about Queen Wei in the early days, I talked about a major fault of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - the art of witchcraft."

"In this witchcraft, Jiang Chong, the most treacherous minister of the Western Han Dynasty, appeared."

"This Jiang Chong was originally a scoundrel in the market. He became a powerful man overnight when he was a poor man."

"In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a complaint case, and the complaint was an imperial complaint."

"In the Han Dynasty, he required people to file complaints level by level, but you couldn't just go to the central government to file a complaint all at once."

"Only if you encounter an emergency, you can report it beyond the next level."

"Jiang Chong engaged in cross-level appeals. In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he received a case of cross-level appeals."

"This case was brought against Prince Liu Dan of the State of Zhao, and many people were implicated, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was shocked when he saw this letter."

"Jiang Chong said that this man's moral character is extremely corrupt, so corrupt that he committed incest with his father, the queen, his concubines, his biological sisters, and his biological daughters."

"Moreover, this person also colluded with local powerful people and did many illegal things, which the government cannot control."

"After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw this memorial, he surrounded King Zhao's palace without saying a word to capture Liu Dan."

"After being caught, he will be thrown into prison to try the matter."

"The result of the trial showed that Jiang Chong's statement was true, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the execution of Liu Dan, the crown prince of King Zhao."

"As soon as the news that Prince Liu Dan of King Zhao was sentenced to death came out, it was considered a bombshell in the State of Zhao."

"In this case, Liu Dan's father, King Zhao, was very anxious."

"So I did two things. First, I wrote a memorial to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, accusing Jiang Chong of being a wanted criminal on the run. His words cannot be trusted."

"The second thing is that he is willing to lead Zhao's warriors to fight against the Huns, and then remove Prince Liu Dan's sins."

"The final result is to depose Liu Dan as crown prince and exempt him from the death penalty."

"This case was a huge blow to the State of Zhao. Liu Dan suddenly lost his position as crown prince because of this incident."

"This Prince Dan himself has indeed done many bad things. When my uncle Jiang Qi found out, Prince Dan killed his entire family in order to keep the secret."

"The circumstances investigated by Jiang Chong are indeed true. Only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, would handle that case so seriously."

"Because he has done too many bad things, he is also afraid that one day the secret will be spread out and his life will be at risk."

"So he thought about it and the only person who knew the secret was his uncle Jiang Qi, so Prince Dan wanted to kill Jiang Qi. But Jiang Qi knew the news in advance and ran away not long after."

"But his whole family is still there. It's a pity that they all suffered and were driven out and killed by Prince Dan."

"Later, Jiang Qi changed his name to Jiang Chong and went to the capital to complain. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only dealt with it seriously."

"At this point, it seems that he is bold and cautious, and he is very cautious in doing things." (End of Chapter)
