Like later generations, the Han Dynasty, as a lighthouse state in East Asia BC and a state of etiquette, was a prison state in the shadows that outsiders could not see.In Chang'an City, there are 26 prisons alone, and Zongzheng's subordinate officials have prisons on the left and right; Da Honglu's subordinates have other fires, Lingcheng, and county prisons; Shaofu has Ruolu prison order, examination work, and co-labor prison; Zhijin Wu has a temple and a boat prison; Under the captain of Shui Heng, there are Shanglin Zhao Prison and Shui Sikong; In the inner court, there are also small prisons such as the secret prison of the court, the violent room, the invitation room, the living room, and the apprentice officer.If none of the subordinates of the various institutions have a prison, they are embarrassed to greet people, and these big Han state-owned enterprises rely on free labor to make a profit from the prisoners and jailers, with a total of more than 20,000 people, accounting for one-tenth of Chang'an's permanent population.One of the most famous is the county prison, when I was a child, I squatted in it, because there were too many witches in prison, and other prisons could not be closed, and the young Xi'an Hou was also fortunate to enter the number.In normal times, ministers are generally imprisoned for crimes.This is the place where the two thousand stones of the liehou also talked about the color change, when Zhou Bobian was tied here, when he went out, he only sighed: "I taste the millions of troops, and I know the nobility of the prison officials." ”The more fierce generals, regardless of whether they are wronged or not, will even commit suicide when they hear that they are going to be imprisoned.Liang Qiuhe, this little founder has a low status, but he doesn't care about any humiliation, he came in at the beginning of the first month, and he has been eating a prison meal for several days.It was not difficult for Tingwei to be locked in a separate cell for this Confucian student, so that he did not have to worry about tightness.He even asked him to bring in two books, and now he was in a cold cell, reading by the faint light that came through the skylight on the wall.In Liang Qiuhe's opinion, this is called "Chaowen Dao can die at night", because I can't guess whether the general will kill him.But today, I sent him a cellmate, a doctor in court clothes, who was pushed and escorted by the jailer and locked up opposite Liang Qiuhe.The wooden bars of the prison cell are thick and familiar, and it took more than ten years to paint the second time, and after the new paint peeled off, the layers of cracked old paint inside were revealed, silently announcing its age to people, at least more than a hundred years, and perhaps Xiao He, the supervisor who had imprisoned it.The gap between the fences was only a palm's width, and Liang Qiuhe's square face couldn't squeeze through, so he only looked at the inmates on the other side through it, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and finally he was shocked: "Weak, why did you come in too!?"
”The other side also recognized him, and laughed: "I don't want to meet Chang Weng here." ”The person who came was Wei Xiang, he and Liang Qiuhe were both virtuous and virtuous scholars from Xueyi, although they had different origins, one had a Langya Haidai accent, and one spoke the Jiyin Dingtao dialect, and Wei Xiang had become famous all over the world ten years ago, and Liang Qiuhe was born and learned.In the past few months, although the two have known each other and met each other at the Qingliu gathering of Xueyi Zhusheng, they have not had a deep friendship.But I never thought that we would meet in Tingwei Prison today.Wei Xiang didn't want to mention why he was imprisoned, so he just looked left and right, sniffed the familiar smell of feces, urine and mildew, and smiled: "In a few years, the edict will still smell like this." ”Unlike Liang Qiuhe, who entered the palace as soon as he entered the palace, Wei Xiang was the second to enter the palace, and he was very familiar with the edict, and even knew how to avoid flea bites, he was very skilled in untying the court clothes, and found a position away from the urine bucket to sit down.Immediately, Wei Xiang was impeached by Jingzhao Yin and Zhao Guanghan for the crime of "slandering loyal generals, dividing monarchs and ministers, and their hearts can be punished", the general nodded on the spot, and was directly pressed to the ground by Lang Wei and escorted from Chengming Palace.Except for Wei Xiang, other people who seconded the proposal, such as Du Yannian, did not have any.This is enough to tell the ministers that the general's attitude towards the war between the Marquis of Xi'an and Wusun is that he still protects Ren Hong and cannot be attacked.But Wei Xiang did not regret it."
I am advising the doctor, I am picking up the missing and filling the gaps, the general and the second government know that the Marquis of Xi'an should avoid the suspicion of Wusun, but they still use it as the protector, and the Son of Heaven reads the Marquis of Xi'an as an old friend, and he is also tolerant.If everyone doesn't say anything, wait until it really happens that Zhao Tuo supported the army in Lingnan at the end of Qin, and it will be too late to regret it!
”On the other hand, seeing that Wei Xiang, the leader of the Qingliu, was also imprisoned, Liang Qiuhe, who could still sit and study, was a little uncalm, lest it be the same as Xiaozhaoshi, another purge of virtuous learning, and he and Wei Xiang were charged with serious enough to be executed.Liang Qiuhe loved his wife, and at this moment he regretted telling the emperor that according to the celestial general, he was afraid of being a general.After all, Wei Xiang had been a county magistrate and a taishou, and his social experience was more old than that of Liang Qiuhe, so he comforted him and said: "Although you and I are guilty of serious crimes, since Xiaowu, the prison has long been governed without following the three-foot law, and only relying on people's ideas." ”The first one was Zhang Tang, the criminal who was decided by Zhang Tang when he was a court lieutenant, if Emperor Wu wanted to add to the crime, then even if he was innocent, he would be punished by Zhang Tang; If Emperor Wu wants to be pardoned, even if he really commits the crime of clan annihilation, Zhang Tang can find ways to reduce his guilt.Zhang Tang's successor, Du Zhou, the father of Du Yannian, the current imperial historian, has taken it to the extreme, and his law enforcement is fierce, not taking the law as the criterion, but taking the emperor's will as the transfer.He even threatened: "Three feet out!"
The former Lord is, and the law is the law; What the latter lord is, the negligence is the order, and it was at that time, what an ancient law!
”However, these two have one thing in common, that is, they are very careful to serve the high-ranking officials who are imprisoned, and the wine and food are very decent, after all, when Emperor Wu, if you don't count the wave of witch Gu, there are more than 100 officials with more than 2,000 stones who have been imprisoned for their crimes, and many of them have been favored again after being released from prison.Therefore, although Zhang Tang Du Zhou has many enemies, he has many friends by relying on this method of being a man, and his family has prospered to this day.But Wei Xiang and Liang Qiuhe, the two Confucian ministers, have no power or power, and their family background cannot be compared with Haoqiang, so they are obviously not among the preferential treatment, the rice is sour and muddy, Wei Xiang is used to it, but Liang Qiuhe can't hold it for a long time.Wei Xiang was separated from the prison cell, and asked Liang Qiuhe to recite Yi together to cheer him up: "Confucius is so poor that Chen Cai is not diluted, and he doesn't taste grains for seven days, isn't it more miserable than you and me?"
”"I offended the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Yiyang, the Marquis of Xi'an, etc., I don't know when I can be released, but Chang Weng is different, the Son of Heaven Shengming, although you will be imprisoned, but in the future, Chang Weng will be blessed by misfortune!"
Does Yiyang Hou have anything to say to the old man?"
And the shogunate's office, after the end of the discussion on the use of troops in the Northern Wusun war, Yiyang Marquis Fu Jiezi did not retreat, Huo Guang saw what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Could it be that he has doubts about the assembly?"
Fu Jiezi bowed his head to this benefactor who had never been in the central stable garden: "Du Yougong, Marquis of Jianping, is the former official of the general, and he previously echoed Wei Xiang, and compared the matter of the Marquis of Huaiyin to Daoyuan, the courtiers thought that this was the intention of the general. ”"Nonsense."
Huo Guang shook his head and denied: "When did Du Yougong accept the old man's wishes?"
He scolded with a smile: "When filial piety, Prime Minister Che Qianqiu in order to exonerate his son-in-law Shaofu Xu Ren for conniving at the case of Sang Hongyang's henchmen, without the consent of the Son of Heaven, he summoned the following 2,000 stones to gather in Jinmamen, the old man wanted to sit with him, Du Yannian and I argued for a night, and finally persuaded the old man to let Che Qianqiu and his horse go, so that he could tell the old man with dignity.The young man often persuaded the old man, saying that filial piety is not better than the old age, and the displaced people have not been returned, so it is advisable to cultivate the government of filial piety, show frugality and tolerance, conform to the heart of heaven, and please the people's will.The old man accepted his words, was virtuous, and discussed wine, salt, and iron, all from a young age. ”"Does he accept me?
I'm pretty much the same as he wants!
In the end, the old man listened to him.And in the opening of the Western Regions and the attack on the Xiongnu, you are in a hurry, he is slow, and all the meetings of China and North Korea are not like this?
”There are many generals under Huo Guang, Zhao Chongguo, Fu Jiezi, and Fan Mingyou can all be independent.And the most important ministers are Tian and Du Liangnian.Tian Yannian is the driving force behind the general, and it is also an infinite extension of his shady schemes, specializing in dirty work.And Du Yannian is the mirror that Huo Guang puts in front of him, he can see what he has done too much and modify it.Without these two, he would not be where he is today.And in terms of how to make the most of his subordinates according to different temperaments and political opinions, the general has quite a lot of experience.This is true for Tian and Du, for Fu Jiezi, and even for Ren Hong!
Previously, the Chengming Hall was discussed, and the general leaned on Wei Xiangchong Tower, and Du Yannian echoed, releasing some signals, and got the feedback he wanted to see.But he can still hide his original intentions, and he is still relieved to Fu Jiezi at the moment."
So Du Yougong is worried about raising a Zhao Tuo in the Western Regions, supporting the army and self-respecting, tearing the soil and standing on his own, but in the old man's opinion" Huo Guang smiled confidently: "The Han is not a tyrannical Qin, as long as the monarch is not on the throne of the second Hu Hai, and there is no Li Si Zhao Gao in the court, there will be no rebellion of Zhao Tuo!"
””The general is wise!
Fu Jiezi breathed a sigh of relief and made a gesture with one hand.But Huo Guang's voice changed again."
But the old man thinks that Daoyuan is a talented general, and he is placed in the Western Regions to protect the capital, and he really uses a knife to kill chickens, and when this battle is over, he will slaughter Wu and let him go back to Chang'an."
Fu Jiezi was a little puzzled, Huo Guang picked him up and said: "Then Yang Yun is smart, do you really think that the imperial court is reluctant to give Daoyuan a position of 2,000 stones in the Nine Qings?""
Yiyang Hou, you have always been close to Xi'an Hou, you can send a letter and tell Daoyuan for me."
Huo Guang swore an oath, just like the promise he made to Tian Yannian."
On the day he returns, there will be a place for him in the seven or eight seats in China and North Korea!
