1.29 Taking the blame

After sending off his biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, the Emperor thought about it and suddenly spoke: "Shi Shi Zhang?"

"I'm here." Zhang Rang, the Central Constable who had been guarding the side of the hall, bowed to answer.

"What if this matter is as Zuo Feng said?"

"Everything is as the Huangmen Order said. It is because the General of the Five Characters of the Central Army is rude in front, and the Marquis of Linxiang takes action to punish him in the back." Zhang Rang bowed and replied.

His Majesty couldn't help but laugh: "Dong Chong was greedy for someone and a beautiful concubine, but he let the Yuan family suffer for him. A woman cut off her hair and even had the face to go to the palace to cry. My relatives are really unbearable. How can they be reused?"

Zhang Rang observed his expression and understood the holy intention, and then said: "The Yuan family is used to being arrogant on weekdays. Everyone avoided his sharpness and did not compete with each other. But they just messed with the Qilinzi of the Tian family. He was dragged all the way by a horse and ran for more than 30 miles. As old slave thought, if there were less than ten days and half a month, I was afraid I would not be able to get out of bed."

His Majesty smiled and asked again: "Everyone is avoiding the edge, why don't Linxiang Hou avoid it?"

Zhang Rang racked his brains and thought for a while, then replied: "I thought that the young master of Linxiang has regained his ancestors' title, and he has many chivalrous spirits. He also upholds loyalty and righteousness, acts neatly and courageously. He has always been innocent. He has a clear conscience in his heart and should have no scruples."

"How can you see?" His Majesty asked.

Zhang Rang took a peek at Your Majesty again, and his heart became more confident. Then he continued: "The offering fee has been rising year by year. But the three hundred miles away has a million people. Compared with the princes of the great powers that have been thousands of miles away, they are not too much. Just imagine, three hundred miles away can live a million people. How much should the three thousand miles away be? Linxiang Hou was ashamed of having a slave, and paid the offering fee in full every year, so he should have a clear conscience."

This is exactly what he said. The emperor sneered: "Secretly report and conceal the reports, and keep slaves and maids. How dare you make a fuss? Therefore, it is better to have less trouble than more, so you can only let the Yuan family promote it. There are so many officials in the court, with corpses and food, and so many people who have enough private pockets. They still have the face to make me regard the country as their home. Let's ask all the civil and military officials, how many people can do it? Which family is not full of forts, beautiful fields, cattle and sheep, and there are so many slaves? Let me take the country as their home? I bah!"

Zhang Rang only laughed, but did not answer.

After the sneer fell to the ground, the emperor asked again: "Huh? When will the two brothers, Linxiang Hou, come to Beijing?"

Zhang Rang replied: "Your Majesty is wise. The two brothers of Linxiang Hou were both stayed in the fiefdom and did not come together. These two are new sworn brothers."

The emperor was stunned: "When and where?"

Zhang Rang replied again: "I just arrived in Luoyang last year and became sworn brothers in the peach forest in the former Taiwei's mansion."

"Who are the two brothers?" His Majesty suddenly became interested.

Zhang Rang had many ears and eyes, and the natural language was clear: "The second brother was named Guan Yu, and he was the son of the salt merchant in Hedong. The third brother was named Zhang Fei, and he was the son of the butcher in Zhuo County."

"..." The emperor didn't speak for a long time after hearing this.

Seeing that the emperor had nothing to say, Zhang Rang said carefully: "The Marquis of Linxiang started from the last moment and had a lot of chivalrous powers in his heart. Although he is in a high position, he respects the virtuous and the inferior, and loves the people as much as his son. His relatives and relatives have discussed a lot recently. They all say..."

"What did you say?" the emperor asked.

Zhang Rang cleared his throat and said, "It is said that although the Marquis of Linxiang has the same root, they have long been a branch and are not close relatives with the clan relatives and Liu. Moreover, the family status is low and scattered among the people for more than a hundred years. They are contaminated with the earthly spirit and are no different from the untouchables. He also likes to make friends with the grassroots and is willing to fall into depravity. In addition, there is a grand ceremony, he should not join the clan relatives and Liu..."

The emperor was indeed angry: "They are noble! They are still not satisfied with the high salary every month. However, they still go to the Zongzheng to cry and beg for mercy from time to time. I never get tired of it. They are fat and stupid as if they are as stupid as pigs. They are mediocre, but they have to despise their blood relatives. What is the use of raising these stupid pigs besides filling the faces of the Tian family? What is the use of!"

Zhang Rang hurriedly provoked and called on His Majesty to calm down.

"Forget it. Let's get up." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Transfer to me the oral order. The Marquis of Linxiang gave him five hundred kilograms of gold (copper), two hundred pieces of silk, and ten women. The two brothers gave him ten jars of imperial wine, one piece of armor, and one piece of brocade robe to show their praise."

"Here!"

He followed Zhang Rang out of the small yellow gate of the hall. Seeing that there was no one around, he said indignantly: "Why did my father speak for Zuo Feng?"

"Hu——" the Changshi in the middle sighed: "A crazy person, being a father is just a boating along the river and to please the emperor."

"The emperor was so kind to the Marquis of Linxiang, but I don't know why?" Xiaohuangmen asked again.

"I can't see it?" Zhang Rang whispered: "You can defend against strong enemies outside and protect millions of people inside. The donation fee has been rising for years, and he is born in a small family. He is despised by his relatives and is despised by his wealthy families. Such a person is rare in the world. How can Your Majesty not love him?"

"No wonder, on the first lunar calendar, Your Majesty actually compared it."

Seeing that Xiao Huangmen seemed to understand but not understand, Zhang Rang sighed slightly. The same background and the same situation were all external reasons. The most important thing is that even if the Marquis of Linxiang is good, he cannot get a clan relative and become a hero, he can only die of old age in the fiefdom and ascend to the throne. How can Your Majesty not be happy about a Qilin of the Tian family who cannot be the emperor?

This is where the key lies.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang couldn't help but remind: "When I meet Shao Ling again, don't call him by his name! It's best to avoid him, otherwise you will walk around!"

"Father..." Xiaohuangmen looked dissatisfied.

"I'm crazy! I'm for your own good. Climbing up to the tall branch of Linxiang Hou can keep the Yellow Gate rich and safe all your life. As a father, you will eventually be a day of scattered life. If you make a grudge with Shao Ling, who can protect you at that time!"

Speaking of this, Zhongchangshi suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky full of stars and the towering palace. He suddenly sighed: "Isn't this forbidden city a bloody storm..."

The amount of reward does not matter.

The saint meaning contained in the reward is very important. The Shangling Ceremony, the Marquis of Linxiang killed the war horses and dragged the soldiers of the Chief Shui. However, he was rewarded by His Majesty. Obviously, His Majesty also believed that the Marquis of Linxiang was doing the right thing.

Whose world is it?

Even if you are a noble family, how can you ignore the dignity of the Tian family?

Although Dong Chong, the general of the Five-Secret General, was a relative of the Han Dynasty. How could he let Yuan Shu whip and ask?

The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son.

If the king is not a monarch, the minister is not a minister, the father is not a father, and the son is not a son. Even if there is grain, I will get it and eat it?

At this time, Empress Dowager Dou was still there. Empress Dowager Dong did not dare to be too domineering. Dong Chong was cut by a sword and did not dare to speak out. Linxiang Hou Mansion was even more normal. Liu Bei had already made up his mind. At the very least, he entered Dong's mansion at night and killed all the evil leaders. Your Majesty blamed him and saved the ransom from death.

There are only a lot of money and silver.

If you spend money, you can't eliminate disasters.

Humph...

"The Qilin drags the ghost to defend the ghost" has become a good story.

The renovation of the sewer pipe network in the harvest is in full swing.

After Liu Bei returned to the mansion, he handed over the ribbon given by the Empress Dowager to the Qise maid to carefully check. The seven sisters were well-known for their mother's true sewing, so they were disassembled and then sewed it as it was. None of the fine stitches would be wrong. These would take some time. Before Liu Bei could finish the delivery of the Hu Ji Restaurant in Ma City, news had already been heard outside the mansion.

Shi Huan came to report that Changshui Chief Yuan Shu had his chest exposed and knelt in front of the door, but he came with accusations of guilt.

Liu Bei sighed. What a "defending ghost in the road" who can bend and stretch.

A person who knows the current affairs is not a hero?
