Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 714
"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhang Jian is ordering someone to clean up the household items. Judging by the situation, it seems that he is about to leave Chang'an."

"Your Majesty Qizuo, it has been found out that Zhang Jian has indeed packed up all the valuables at home, and has even contacted a businessman to sell his own house in Chang'an City. Ten carts have been set up in front of Zhang's mansion. It depends on the situation. Zhang Jian is leaving."

"Qizou Your Majesty, Zhang Jian ordered people to communicate to the North Gate, requesting to leave the city."

Li Hong, Deng Fang, Lin Guodong, Chu Feng, and Wang Qinian all stood under Wang Mang, and they all came to report Zhang Jian's movements.

As soon as Wang Mang returned to the study from Shangyuan Palace, a group of people came to report Zhang Jian's plan to run away. Zhang Jian looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, you can't let Zhang Jian leave." Lin Guodong said: "Zhang Jian has been an official in the court for many years, how could he leave easily, he is in a hurry to leave now, there must be fraud in it."

"I think so too." Chu Feng said, "I think it's better to keep Zhang Jian in Chang'an first."

Wang Mang looked at Wang Qinian again, and said, "What do you say?"

"I'm just here to ask whether you want to let him go or not." Wang Qinian said with a wry smile, "I'm the commander of the army and horses, Shi, who is in charge of all the city defenses of Chang'an City. Now Master Zhang Jian is holding the seal of the grand master and asking me to open the city gate." , it is reasonable for the minister to let him go, but his identity is a bit unusual after all, and the minister feels that His Majesty still has to decide."

"Where's Zhang Jian's family?" Wang Mang asked aside.

Lin Yuxin flashed out and said, "When Your Majesty was still in Yunzhong City, Zhang Jian had arranged for his family to leave Chang'an City one after another. The reason at that time was to travel or return home to visit relatives."

"Actually?" Wang Mang asked.

"Actually, most of them are Han, Zhao and Wei at this moment." Lin Yuxin said coldly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jianjian is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Daqin. He actually dispersed his family behind his back. Depending on the situation, he has long been disobedient. heart."

"Old fox." Wang Mang shook his head, looked at the crowd and said, "His family is gone, so what's the use of keeping him?"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Jian is the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the hidden minister of the court. He knows too much about the truth and reality of our Great Qin. If he is sent to the enemy country, it will be very detrimental to our Great Qin." Chu Feng said: "I suggest that you immediately Capture Zhang Jian."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Lin Guodong said: "Jing Zhaoyin's people are guarding Zhang Jian's residence. As long as His Majesty gives an order, Jing Zhaoyin's subordinates will immediately arrest the people."

"Your Majesty can't." Shang Yang hurried over, and shouted before he arrived.

When Shang Yang arrived, he first saluted Wang Mang, and then said: "I heard that people from Jing Zhaoyin, the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the Military Division are now surrounding the mansion of Grand Master Zhang Jian, so I knew something big happened, so I came here immediately. See Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not arrest Zhang Jian."

"Tell me why?" Wang Mang said.

"Zhang Jian is the elder of the Three Dynasties of the Great Qin Dynasty. He is deeply rooted in the court and has flourishing branches. Numerous officials in the court from the central government to the local government have been known as teachers and students with Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian will bring great turmoil to the Great Qin court." Shang Yang said.

"A person who betrays the master, if he is arrested, he will be arrested." Chu Feng said disdainfully: "Shangyang, you are too contemptuous of my officials in Daqin, and all officials in Daqin are people who understand."

"Of course I know that everyone understands." Shang Yang said: "But I want to ask my lord, has Grand Master Zhang Jian ever violated the law?"

"He sent his family away first, and then he himself ran away. This is betraying the master." Chu Feng shouted: "Shouldn't such a person be caught and kept as a role model for others?"

"Zhang Jian sent his family away. This is what we found in secret investigations, but Zhang Jian's old wife, eldest son, second son, and even eldest daughter are all in Chang'an now. How can you believe that he sent people away privately?" Shang Yang said : "Again, Shang Yang was ordered to tell his old man to return to his hometown. He is now going home under the banner of His Majesty letting him return to his hometown to recuperate. Why do you say that he has betrayed the Lord? If you arrest him now, it is the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. By this old thief's plan, His Majesty will be plunged into injustice."

Turning around, Shang Yang looked at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and these Majesties should be able to see clearly at a glance."

"Yes." Wang Mang nodded, and said: "Zhang Jian, this old fox, I'm still wondering how he would give up to me so easily in the court, but I didn't expect him to be here waiting for me, and I'm still in the cloud The old fox started to send people away from the capital when he was in Zhongcheng, it seems that he knew about Wang Jingyao even if he didn't participate in it."

"Of course he knows." Shang Yang said: "Zhang Jian is a veteran of the three dynasties, with countless disciples and countless eyes and ears. There is nothing that the Great Qin court can hide from him. Wang Jingyao wants to rebel, and he brought so many adults in the court to rebel. Zhang Jian knows it no matter what."

"So he sent his family away to guard against Wang Jingyao?" Wang Mang said to himself: "He knew that Wang Jingyao was going to rebel, but he didn't know that I would come back so quickly and quell the rebellion so quickly. He thought that Wang Jingyao and I would be in Chang'an There was a big war in the city, so he sent his family away. This was to prevent accidental injury to his family during the war, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't send away his eldest son and second son, because he wanted to keep them safe. In my heart and Wang Jingyao's heart, this old fox is calculating step by step."

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Shang Yang said: "Zhang Jian didn't send his family to other places, but sent them to the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei. There may be something strange about this matter."

"Hehe." Wang Mang sneered, he also thought of this level, I am afraid that this old fox has already known that Han and Zhao are going to attack Qin. It must have been expected that I dismissed him in court this time.

With a sneer, Wang Mang looked at the crowd and said, "Zhang Jian cannot be arrested. If you catch him, you will hit me in the face. I am the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. If you say what you say, it is the law of the golden mouth. Since I said In order for him to return to his hometown as a Grand Master, then he should return to his hometown as a Grand Master."

Chu Feng and Lin Guodong looked at each other, and finally bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are still guarding near Zhang Jian's mansion. The movement is a bit loud, and many people in the city are watching."

"Really?" Wang Mang frowned, and said: "Then let this old fox be more proud, Li Hong, Deng Fang."

"The servant is here." Li Hong and Deng Fang knelt down.

"I heard that Grand Master Zhang is about to leave Beijing to return to his hometown, so I decided to give him a ride and drive out of the palace." Wang Mang said.

Ah!
Li Hong and Deng Fang looked shocked, and then quickly got up to get ready to go.

"Does Your Majesty think highly of this old man?" Chu Feng couldn't help but said, "This man is a traitor and a national traitor. Why does Your Majesty treat him so well and make him proud for nothing?"

"Your Majesty's move is brilliant!" Shang Yang clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty personally sent Zhang Jian out of Chang'an, and explained to the people of Chang'an that Jing Zhaoyin, the Law Enforcement Bureau, and even the Army and Horse Division used a large number of people to surround Zhang Jian's mansion. The reason for this is to stand up for His Majesty, and secondly, to tell the people of the world that His Majesty treats Zhang Jian with great honor and favor, and Zhang Jian will definitely be cast aside by the people of the world when he betrays his master in the future."

"Your Majesty's move is brilliant!" Zhang Jian couldn't help sighing when the little eunuch in the palace came to tell the emperor that he was going to send him out of the city.

"Father regretted it." A middle-aged man who looked a lot like Zhang Jian said.

"It's not a matter of regret, but if I had known that things would turn out like this, some things might not have to be done so badly." Zhang Jian said.

"Han and Zhao joined forces, and with the support of Jixia Academy and Bailu Academy behind them, Qin State will be destroyed." The middle-aged man said: "Father took advantage of this time to leave the sunken ship of Qin State, which is great wisdom."

"The state of Qin is not that simple." Zhang Jian shook his head and said, "There are some things you don't know, and neither do I. I'm afraid many things don't even know today."

"Father is the elder of the three dynasties. After three dynasties, he sat firmly in the court. There are things in Qin that father doesn't know." The middle-aged man said in surprise.

"Of course." Zhang Jian looked at his eldest son and said slowly: "Zhang Ming, you have to remember that there are many things in this world that you don't want to know. Knowing how she appeared, the first emperor was obsessed with alchemy, where did he find such a fairy in the world and suddenly became the queen? Even the queen mother knew the secret that many emperors in the Qin Palace did not know. I think I don’t understand, but I also know that the person in Shangyuan Palace is the person who can’t afford to offend in this imperial capital, and that’s why I never go to Shangyuan Palace.”

"The queen mother." Zhang Ming was taken aback. He had heard some legends vaguely, and it seemed that the queen mother was quite mysterious.

"It's not just the empress dowager." Zhang Jian said again: "There is also the first emperor. The first emperor said he died, but who saw the first emperor's body? That's what the empress dowager and the first emperor's order said. Who knows the real situation, just like the former emperor's so-called obsession with alchemy, ha ha."

"Isn't the first emperor obsessed with alchemy?" Zhang Ming looked at Zhang Jian with some surprise.

"Perhaps." Zhang Jian said: "The first emperor is not that simple. I don't believe that he was so obsessed with immortality that he abandoned state affairs."

Zhang Jian seems to be leaving this city where he has worked hard for decades, and he talked a lot today. He uttered many secrets that he had kept in his heart for many years, and he did not say anything. Shocked for a moment.

As the son of Zhang Jian, Zhang Ming is the most honorable son in Chang'an City, but now listening to his father's narrations, Zhang Ming suddenly felt that he was similar to a frog in the forbidden land. It's not a secret, but a secret I thought.

"Then Qingde Fang has your shareholding?" Zhang Jian suddenly looked at Zhang Ming and said.

Zhang Ming's expression changed drastically, he almost knelt on the ground, looked at Zhang Jian with a pale face and said, "Father knows about this?"

"Except for things in the palace, there are very few things outside the palace that I don't know." Zhang Jian sighed and said, "If I hadn't gathered some unclean hands and feet for you, you think you can escape this so easily. Even if you are careful enough, there are always some clues."

"Will His Majesty know about this?" Zhang Ming looked at Zhang Jian with some horror.

"I don't know, the damned people are basically dead except you, and those trivial things are not what His Majesty cares about now." Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "If the emperor wants to move my Zhang family, there are reasons, there is no need to worry about it." Take out the things in Qingdefang, just some small things."

Zhang Ming looked at Zhang Jian, as if he knew his father for the first time. He once thought that he had enough strength to support the Zhang family instead of Zhang Jian, but now he was still too immature.

Zhang Jian stood there thinking for a while, and then said: "Come on, come with me to meet His Majesty!"

People outside the Zhang Mansion also knew that the Son of Heaven would send Zhang Jian off in person, and the onlookers who were planning to watch the huge Zhang Mansion fall suddenly became envious.

"I just said that Zhang Jian is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is loyal to me, Great Qin. How could the emperor do anything to him?"

"It's not that Jing Zhaoyin's people said that they saw that they were planning to take people, and the law enforcement bureau and soldiers and horses were watching. No matter how you look at it, they have bad intentions."

"They came to clean up the venue. They called the front station to clean up Xiaoxiao for the emperor."

"Isn't it just now?"

"My lord Zhang Jian is really deeply favored by the emperor. The veteran of the three dynasties, the minister of the official department for decades, is a hidden figure, and now he is honored to return to his hometown as an imperial teacher. It can be said that it is the goal of my life. "

"This is also His Majesty's magnanimity. Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will be imprisoned because of the fact that Mr. Zhang condoned Wang Jingyao's rebellion in the court hall."

"You can't blame the old man. After all, the old man is old and not in good health. His Majesty has already determined this matter. You can't blame the old man. You can't let the old man drag his old and sick body to go with that old man." Are the rebels desperate?"

"Your Majesty's ability to disregard previous suspicions and give such honor to the elder is really a harmony between the monarch and his subjects, and it is also a good story of harmony between monarchs and subjects in ancient times."

The voices of the onlookers outside the door fell into Zhang Jian's ears. Zhang Jian's eyes were a little cold. His original plan was to go to Hangu Pass after leaving the city. I really want to go back to my hometown to retire.

"Your Majesty is here!" Deng Fang called out from a distance with a sharp voice.

"Your Majesty, my ministers (Cao Min) and so on, long live your majesty." Zhang Jian and others knelt down on the ground together with the people outside the Zhang residence.

Wang Mang hurried forward a few steps, directly helped Zhang Jian up from the ground, and said loudly: "My lord, you are the elder of the three dynasties, and you have made countless contributions to me in the Great Qin Dynasty. I grant you that you will not kneel when you see me!"

"Thank you, Lord Long En!" Zhang Jian looked at Wang Mang with emotion, but he couldn't help but feel cold. He didn't think that Wang Mang really honored him endlessly. If he thought about it deeply, he could understand more about this reward.

No matter what Zhang Jian thinks, everyone who heard Wang Mang's words couldn't help being envious of Zhang Jian. Seeing that the emperor can not kneel down is such an honor. Great Qin has established the country for more than three hundred years, and I am afraid that only one can enjoy this kind of honor. They could count with one hand, and those ancient people who were basically dead and didn't know how much money they had, now stood in front of them as a living person, and everyone looked at Zhang Jian enviously.

Zhang Jian stretched out his hand to let Wang Mang in, but Wang Mang stopped Zhang Jian, and said, "Li Hong."

"The slave is here." Li Hong waved his hand, and saw ten carts in the distance, full of gold, silver and jewels, coming towards the Zhang residence.

Wang Mang pointed to the ten carts of gold, silver and jewels and said, "Zhang Jian, I heard that you are not worth much when you leave Beijing this time. I think you have been an official in Qin Dynasty for dozens of years, and you have no property. I am really ashamed. Ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry are for you to enjoy your old age when you return to your hometown."
