Chapter 357 Surviving in Prison
What the monarch and ministers talk about is nothing more than state affairs, especially when the court was not peaceful recently, it is understandable that Zhang Tang should be in charge, and Liu Che is very particular about it.
But why should we talk about these principles of appointing ministers to a court officer?
After saying so much, Zhang Tang suddenly felt that the emperor invited him for a walk today was not a leisurely move, but an ulterior motive.
It is likely to be for Dongfang Shuo, and even the so-called intention to forgive Wu Que was just to lay the groundwork for the topic in front of him.
But from the moment Dongfang Shuo was surrendered to the Tingwei Zhao Prison, Zhang Tang knew very well that Dongfang Shuo had been humiliated by the prison guards after this contrast. If he was allowed to turn over, it would be like establishing a political enemy in the court.
Moreover, since Dongfang Shuo committed such a crime, he could not ignore the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Tang did not hesitate at all.
He replied incisively: "Your Majesty! Dongfang Shuo's mistake in this principle is wrong. I think he must be punished strictly without lending."
Is it so serious...
Liu Che sighed and said, "Zhang Tang, what's wrong with you today? When I talk about the criminals, you think I want to forgive them. Are I the kind of person who regards the law as a joke? Hum?"
Words come out of the mouth and land on the ground.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Tang was covered in cold sweat. He immediately realized that he had reacted a little louder and knelt down on the reincarnation and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die if I am guilty of death."
He dies at any time...
Liu Che shook his head and chuckled, "Why am I angry? Don't kneel down, what does it look like? Get up and talk."
When Zhang Tang stood up, he saw Liu Che walking slowly forward again, so he and Bao Sang hurriedly followed him with great respect.
After walking for a while, Liu Che's voice came from the front, "Actually, I talked about these with my beloved, and I was completely inspired by my feelings.
If I have diseases in this country, if I have diseases, if the doctors are just blamed for their inability to recover and not thinking about whether they violate Yin and Yang, what is the difference between this and avoiding medical treatment?
Today, in Huainan, Hengshan was sentenced to the country, and the entire Dongfangshuo clan will never be hired. He himself will punish him severely, which is inevitable.
However, what I think deeply are all other things. Sometimes, I don’t teach you strictly and reward you will not be fair.
When I was the crown prince, the late emperor issued an edict that as long as officials traveled, they must wear neat clothes and wear tidy clothes and dress to ensure that there is a difference between officials and people, otherwise they will be punished.
But I feel ashamed of the fact that the late emperor can do the same thing as the officials' behavior and clothing.
Many times, you will be with Gongsun Hong and Li Cai, and you will often complain in my ears that Ji An does not understand etiquette, is arrogant and self-righteous, and even makes corrections to my incongruity.
But think about it carefully, look, if Ji An and others kept reminding me, they would just pick what I like and say without unpleasant words, how could I know the real situation? Over time, wouldn’t I become a deaf person?”
This... is targeted. Zhang Tang's face felt a little hot and he couldn't say anything for a while.
Although Liu Che talked about Ji An, he criticized himself, but Zhang Tang did not intend to change his mind because of this.
As the saying goes, the king is like a tiger, and the ministers accompany him. This is inevitable. He must not ignore his words and expressions.
My heart was in a state of chaos, and Zhang Tang was thinking this way, and Liu Che's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Although I admire Confucianism, I also have some knowledge of the theories of Taoism, Yin and Yang, Mohism, Legalism, etc.
Lao Tzu said: Believe in words is not beautiful, but not believing in words. Although this is biased, believing in words may not be beautiful, and believing in words may not be unbelief. According to my opinion, Lao Tzu's original intention is to establish one's own self-centeredness by the truth.
Those who listen to both wisdom do not listen to the words of a single corner. I don’t have that great anger. I just hope that my dear will tell more truth in the future, and will I still eat you?”
Liu Che was talking while walking, so Zhang Tang followed behind with a light step, never taking the initiative to answer Liu Che's words.
He has figured it out now, and he misunderstood the meaning of Liu Che's asking him to accompany him for a walk.
But Zhang Tang, who was used to being flattering, was still not very clear at this time and could not understand Liu Che's thoughts.
He found that His Majesty the Emperor was too broad today, which made him feel overwhelmed.
He didn't dare to say such words as "the emperor's wise" at this moment, for fear that he would attract Liu Che's accusation as soon as he said it.
Then what does Liu Che mean?
Nothing interesting,
Liu Che just wanted to tell him,
Don't think too much...
But Zhang Tang didn't know. He thought about it and felt that every word Liu Che seemed to be directed at him, as Gongsun Hong and Li Cai said.
In response to that sentence, being smart is wrong.
While he was lying, Liu Che asked again: "Why haven't you heard your beloved speak now?"
"I am too stupid to accept His Majesty's words. I can only listen to His Majesty's words and have nothing to do to reply."
Liu Che smiled, and his face turned from solemn to relaxation at this time: "Okay, even if this matter is something I have discussed with my beloved, please go back and think about it carefully."
"promise."
After watching Liu Che's figure hiding behind the railing of Fudao, Zhang Tang stood up.
For a moment, he felt a chill on his spine, and it turned out to be sweating! His court clothes were soaked, and his clothes were pressed against his body.
...
"Your Majesty will not forget me. Your Majesty will not sentence me to death, so he must have been soft-hearted!"
Dongfang Shuo humbly enjoyed the ray of spring that was pouring into the small window, so he always comforted himself.
The environment of the imperial prison is intentional, the more majestic the better, and the oppression force on the prisoners is the main purpose.
It was very dark around Dongfang Shuo. When the sunlight shone in, it gathered into a beam of light, shining on the ground in the prison, which was particularly bright.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes slowly opened, and first extended his feet there, allowing the warm feeling to slowly spread in his body along his bloodline.
After only a while, he moved again to let the sun shine on his messy hair.
When people are shackled, they feel how warm and precious the sun is.
Dongfang Shuo glanced at the surrounding environment and thought that perhaps because of the emperor's care, the cell was small but relatively clean. To be honest, the jailer patrolling outside the prison door was not as cruel as he was to him as he was to other people.
Sitting withered and sitting tasteless. When the new day begins and waiting for the accuse of the Tingwei envoy, the past will slid across the mixed mind.
He was a powerful figure who accompanied the emperor in the early years of Jianyuan and had the power to guide the current situation.
It is the envoy to Nanyue as an envoy, to lead the way and help destroy Nanyue return home in glory.
It is still a great rule in the territory of the post.
It's even more in Shouchun City...
Well, he knew he was no longer qualified to defend himself. Now he could only pin his hope of life on Liu Che's compassion.
He was unwilling to be passive. When the sunlight outside the window slowly moved away and the prison gradually became dark, he suddenly had the urge to repent to the emperor.
Or, no matter whether the book can be delivered to Liu Che, he has to take a try at such a critical moment.
He cheered up and shouted to the prison guard outside the prison: "Come here! Pen! I want a pen!"
