Chapter 809 Execution! !
"You're just out of your mind!!"
Zhang Buyi sat on the top seat, looking extremely angry.
"The Holy Son of Heaven is magnanimous and forgives your rudeness. Because you have merit, let you take the position of sheriff, give you great trust, and even attack the clan for you. Is this how you repay His Majesty in the end?! "
"Prince Chu kindly came to help you, but you actually want to deal with him??"
"Why don't you just lead the county soldiers to Chu to arrest his father?!"
Zhang Buyi cursed loudly, but Chao Cuo just kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
After Zhang Buyi finished speaking, he explained: "It's not that I made things difficult for Prince Chu, it's just that the temple sent people to work in the southern country, and there was a prince Chu in the middle. Isn't this a mistake of the temple? Now the canal project, This is the proof that he favors the state of Chu everywhere! Prince Chu seeks personal gain. I have advised His Majesty a long time ago. These princes cannot be easily trusted, let alone be allowed to be officials in the temple, otherwise it will cause such consequences! But Your Majesty If you don’t listen, you will replace me with the king of Wu, and many problems in the temple today are caused by the entry of the foreign king!!”
Zhang Buyi sneered, "It's better to tell the truth because you are dissatisfied with being replaced by someone else?"
"No, if someone else replaces me, I have nothing to say. It's just that when a foreign king enters the court, he will definitely benefit his own family, just like this Prince Chu."
Zhang Buyi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You should be glad that there are wild beasts that frequently damage the cultivated land, Your Majesty must put the safety of the people as the most important thing, otherwise, just what you said, His Majesty would have to come over and teach it in person. teach you."
"You guys are simply... unrepentant!"
Chao Cuo was very unconvinced, "What I said was the truth. The Prince of Chu said that he would not interfere in the affairs of the Southern Kingdom, but with him around, wouldn't those members of Kanyu's family give priority to Chu? When it is beneficial to the state of Chu, do they still dare to raise it clearly? King Wu is in the temple, but someone dares to raise something that is not good for the state of Wu in front of him? Even if they do not have such ideas themselves, they are in high positions If you take the initiative to participate in administration, you will definitely have such an impact!"
"Do temples have to harm local interests? Temples should protect local development!"
"Any policy has advantages and disadvantages. Let's talk about opening the sea. The right to open the sea is different, and the local government actively intervenes in this matter to seek benefits from it. This is actually not conducive to the temple's regulation and governance of the sea, but some people dare Do you want to let the Ministry of Commerce take charge, and not let the local government intervene? No, because the current censor is the king of Wu! And the local government participates in opening up the sea, controlling port taxes, and owning a large number of official ships is the state of Wu!!"
"It's so absurd to let the king enter the temple! Your Majesty doesn't notice!"
Zhang Buyi was furious, and immediately pointed at Chao Cuo, and shouted: "Come on, take this guy down for me! How can your majesty be slandered by a villain like you?!"
The armored soldier hurriedly stood behind Chao Cuo, and Chao Cuo was not afraid, "I'm not wrong! It already has influence! Today's temples are ruled by traitors!"
"Send Chao Cuo to the prison to sober up!"
The armored soldier took Chao Cuo and left here.
Zhang Buyi rubbed his forehead, feeling very headache for this guy.He is very unwilling to deal with such a person, he will not take hard and soft, anyone who sees it will have a headache, and what this guy said is not completely unreasonable. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it will really have some influence, although Chao Cuo said As serious as it is, it is indeed a problem to be considered.Zhang Buyi thought for a while, then simply stopped thinking about it, and hurriedly sent someone to call Prince Chu and others over.
Soon, Hu Wusheng, Liu Wu, Luo Jian and others appeared in front of him.
The three of them all looked like they were in the dust, especially Hu Wusheng, who still looked scared.
Remembering His Majesty's instructions, Zhang Buyi forced a smile, trying to make himself look gentle.
But his smile, no matter how you look at it, is a bit sneering, which frightens the three of them so that they dare not look at him.
"Three, don't worry, I've already arrested Chao Cuo."
"I came here by His Majesty's order, just for your business. Your Majesty was very angry when he learned that Chao Cuo was rude to you, and asked me to come to rescue you. Chao Cuo has always had such a character. , I will definitely punish him well, you don’t have to worry anymore, His Majesty still attaches great importance to you.”
"During these days, Your Majesty has also seen your contributions. You successively designed the canal plan for the six counties, and then helped the Dian Kingdom to explore and discovered the local copper mine."
"Your Majesty is very happy. He thinks that you have made great contributions to the community. He has ordered the temple to actively support the geomancy. It is best for the geomancy to go to various places and discover excellent resources in various places. I will do this in advance. Congratulations, with His Majesty's great love, the Kanyu family will become a famous scholar in the world sooner or later. This is what you deserve. If you have any requests, you can tell me. I will tell Your Majesty the truth. Your Majesty has always loved the people. Xian, it will be realized for you.”
Hearing Zhang Buyi's words, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Hu Wusheng answered first, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"Thank you Your Majesty."
Zhang Bu doubt reminded.
Hu Wusheng changed his words, "Thank you for your majesty's love! However, this is what we should do, and we should not expect anything in return. We are willing to complete the things here for your majesty. If the geologists can do more things for your majesty, It's their honor and we have nothing to ask for."
Zhang Buyi was very satisfied with his answer, nodded, and then looked at Luo Zuo.
Luo Jian was not very good at talking, but he hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Zhang Buyi was still staring at him, he continued, "Long live Your Majesty!!"
Zhang Buyi laughed and nodded, "Sure enough, you are talented."
Only then did he let the three sit down, and when the three were seated, Zhang Buyi said slowly: "I know that you were all robbed here by someone sent by Chao Cuo, and now Chao Cuo has been locked up by me. You can return to Chu."
Hearing this sentence, several people fell silent.
Hu Wusheng couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhang, we can't leave yet."
"Huh? I will naturally deal with Chao Cuo's matter! You don't have to worry about it!"
"It's not because of his affairs, but because the design drawings here haven't been finished yet."
Hu Wusheng said seriously: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know something. Although Chao Cuo is very rude to us, I have never seen the people under his rule. This time I led people to design, and the people along the road It is extremely comfortable, the joy on the face is not seen in Chang'an, the wealthy families from all over the world have offered to help and cooperate with all their strength, and the officials strictly abide by the law and dare not do anything beyond the slightest. As you probably know, there are people all over the world. There are many bad habits, it is very troublesome to pass the level, but only here, I have never encountered such a thing."
"Therefore, I ask you to forgive Chao Cuo's crime and let us finish this matter."
Zhang Buyi was very surprised, "Are you locked out of your relationship by him??"
Luo Jian also hurriedly said: "Working here is the happiest time since I came to the south. The officials are very cooperative, and even the nobles will not intervene. Any request can be made. Chao Cuo can solve it at any time without delay. The solution speed is even faster than what we proposed. No matter what problems he encounters, he will be the first to come forward, and the journey will be smooth. Zhang Gong, although Chao Cuo is a bit arrogant and rude, but speaking of it, follow It is still very good for him to work together and work for him. We have half designed this, so leaving now, I am afraid it is not appropriate."
Zhang Buyi looked at them dumbfounded, and finally looked at Liu Wu, "You have to go?"
Liu Wu shook his head firmly, "Although Mr. Chao has prejudice against me, he also let me know that the design of the canal was inappropriate. Some of our previous designs were indeed too partial to Chu, and Wu should be the core. Want to stay, get this thing done... make up for previous mistakes."
Zhang Buyi was very angry, Nai Gong rushed over from Chang'an to chase you, but you didn't want to leave?
Are you playing monkeys here?The Prime Minister of the country is not angry, you think I am the head of the pavilion, right? ?
Luo Jian looked at the angry Zhang Buyi, and hurriedly continued: "Do things for His Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
The anger on Zhang Buyi's face dissipated immediately, and he thought about this matter again.
"It's not a bad thing, strengthen the connection."
Zhang Buyi stood up slowly, "Then you go and do it, I'm not in a hurry to go back, I will go back with you when you finish the things here!"
"Ah, thank you Zhang Xiang!!!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At the same time, Liu Chang, who was riding a steed, sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed the tip of his nose. Is it because of the change of seasons or who is talking about himself? ?
Liu Chang is fully armed, holding a strong bow, followed by a large number of doctors and soldiers.
As the Holy Son of Heaven, of course he couldn't watch wild beasts harm the people. In order to protect the people, Liu Chang came to Shanglin Garden.
Now is the hunting season, Liu Chang abolished many etiquettes, but he did not abolish the etiquette of hunting by the Son of Heaven himself, not because Liu Chang is a foolish king who likes to indulge, but he thinks that as a descendant, he should respect a little It is not easy for those who formulate etiquette laws. They set them up with great difficulty. If they are all abolished, it will ruin the hard work of the ancestors.
Of course, whether to waste the efforts of the ancestors depends on the situation.
If Liu Chang doesn't like it, then the old dogs in the past are talking nonsense. If he likes it, it's a gift from the ancestors.
It is said that today's emperor enjoys extravagance, but the size of Shanglin Garden has been shrinking after Liu Chang took office. Liu Chang did not expand the size of the garden and occupy cultivated land just because he liked hunting. I took it out and distributed it to the people, and I only left those mountains and forests as hunting places.Of course, there are still quite a few animals in it, and rare and exotic animals presented from all over the world can be found here.
Liu Chang did not hunt alone, according to etiquette, he went hunting with the prince.
Looking at the prince's chariot in the distance, Liu Chang's face was full of disdain.
At this moment, Liu An is sitting in the chariot designed for him by his disciples. Liu An's military strength is not as good as his father's, so naturally he has to use some "crazy methods". Beasts, what tigers, big bears, these things are scary to look at. Liu An's disciples thought about it and designed a set of chariots. The chariots were firmly fixed everywhere. Six observation holes and four shooting holes were left, and Liu An hid in this kind of chariot for hunting.
Liu Chang despised the prince's behavior without the slightest martial virtue.
But the prince felt that there was no difference between humans and beasts, that is, humans know how to use tools. He even felt that we should continue to develop this way of thinking, and maybe one day such a chariot could be used on the battlefield, making the enemy completely Unable to break the defense, now Huang Lao is trying various new powers, water, fire, and even wind. If one day he can abandon the horses, with such a thing, wouldn't it be random killings on the battlefield?
Huang Lao's many experiments made Shang Fang understand that his imagination is still too weak.
When Shang Fang was trying to use the wind to push the car, Huang Lao was already thinking about whether gunpowder could be used to push the car. They not only thought about it, they even tried it with their own hands, and finally got a few Huang Laos in.
Liu Chang couldn't stand it anymore, so Liu An introduced the experimental method, and any experiment must ensure his own safety! !
Liu Changfei galloped and led the crowd into a deeper part of the garden.
When the hunting was over, Liu Chang returned with a full load. He was about to show off to Liu An, but when he saw the many prey that Liu An placed on the ground, Liu Chang couldn't say anything. He jumped off the horse suddenly. He quickly walked to Liu An's side, and looked at the prey around him, which were three or four times more than Liu Chang's prey. Liu Chang's face was full of disbelief, "Did you cheat? How could you shoot so many people?" ??"
Liu Chang looked at the doormen behind Liu An, and he didn't hear that there was any sharpshooter beside him? ?
Liu An grinned, "Father. As the saying goes, knowledge is also a kind of power. My martial arts are far inferior to Father, but I can use my knowledge reasonably."
"Fart! You are cheating! Otherwise, how can you shoot so many prey?! This is not knowledge, this is shame!"
Liu Chang's face was full of displeasure.
But Liu An gave up with a smile and let Liu Chang see what was on his chariot.
"Father, take a look, this is the crossbow I designed with my disciples recently. This crossbow is different from today's strong crossbow. Although it is a bit bigger, this crossbow of mine can shoot continuously. It can shoot five times in a row. arrow!"
"A continuous crossbow?!?"
Liu Chang suddenly thought of something, took a quick step forward, examined it carefully, and looked at his son in shock. The look in his eyes was almost the same as when he discovered that he had invented tofu. How can you be so powerful? ?
This continuous crossbow does not mean that the crossbow can be fired continuously, but that the crossbow can be fired multiple times at one time, and can shoot multiple crossbows at the same time. It is said that during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang invented a more powerful crossbow. Some people said that it could shoot continuously, and some said it could shoot ten rounds in volley. Later, it was recorded that Ma Jun even made a continuous crossbow with fifty rounds. None of them are individual weapons. Because of their size, they often need to be operated by chariots or even multiple people. It was not until the Song and Ming dynasties that individual crossbows appeared.
Looking at the Liannu that Liu An took out that could shoot five rounds in salvo, Liu Chang was still a little shocked. This thing matched his chariot, and it was quite bluffing.
Liu Chang still shook his head in disdain, "It's useless and not practical on the battlefield, unless it can be improved."
Liu An laughed, "Father will definitely not be disappointed."
Liu Chang looked at the extremely proud guy in front of him, and resisted the urge to teach him a lesson. In the past, he always felt that this Shuzi was useless, but when this Shuzi really grew up, he began to show extraordinary talents, and even approached him in some aspects. When he was alone, Liu Chang's heart became very complicated again. The child has grown up.On the way back, Liu Chang and Liu An were riding steeds, and Liu Chang was still saying loudly: "This still doesn't count as your victory, you are still cheating, although you made things, but you were made by me." In short, I have a share of this thing.”
"That's natural. If there is no father, I can't make this thing."
The two walked and chatted, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw the figure standing here waiting, it was Liu Heng who had just returned to Chang'an.
Liu Heng didn't come back in a hurry after staying in Wu country for a long time to mourn for his biological mother. He didn't want to delay the important affairs of the temple.
Seeing the stern and displeased Liu Heng, Liu Zhang hurried forward, "Brother, I went to play in Shanglinyuan, and I caught him back. This is the prince, and he still plays all day, really. It's unseemly! Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson first, and I'll come to you later."
Liu Heng looked very tired, and just motioned Liu Chang to follow.
Liu Chang's face also became serious, and the two walked in the front. Liu Heng was silent for a long time before he said, "Aunt just summoned me and told me something."
"Ah? What's the matter?"
"You know what it is, it doesn't have to be."
Liu Chang pursed his lips, "Brother, don't worry too much, I will take action to save his life, and then let him go to serve in corvee."
"No, there is no need to protect him."
Liu Heng frowned, and his eyes were full of anger, "If it's true, I don't need others to take action. I will clean up the door. My own brother is still incompatible and persecutes me everywhere. Such a person will shame me sooner or later in the future. Judging from my mother's words, this matter is probably true. When I was in Wu country, I couldn't control her. I had two wives, both of whom died of illness suddenly after giving birth, and both of them died when I was out. If it wasn’t Qi’s mother who died of illness during the inspection, I’m afraid I can’t even keep a child like this villain, so why should I sympathize?”
Liu Chang's expression became a little stunned, fighting for favor and killing? ?
"Then why didn't the fourth brother tell me directly??"
"The queen's surname is Lu. The situation is complicated, and it has a great impact."
Liu Chang was furious, "I don't care what her surname is?! How dare you bully my elder brother?! Even you have been insulted like this, so wouldn't my other brothers be even worse?! Such treachery! I will punish you! His family!!!"
"Come here!!!"
ps: Brothers, can I ask for a monthly pass?
