My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 12 Two Teachers
Liu Ju no longer cared whether Princess Ling would wake up or not.

However, a few days later, the trial of the princes for treason in the court really opened Liu Ju's eyes.

The Chief Justice Zhang Tang started with the secret letters in the palace of Huainan King, followed the clues and arrested thousands of local officials and powerful people.

as well as.

The most eye-catching minister close to the emperor was Zhongsan Daifu Zhuang Zhu.

The person was put in the prison of the Supreme Court and the evidence was solid, so Zhang Tang took action, which was very direct and ruthless.

At the court meeting, the court judge reported to the public:

"Zhang Cigong, the Marquis of Antou, committed adultery with the daughter of the King of Huainan and assassinated the Crown Prince. This is a crime of treason and his entire family should be executed!"

"Zhuang Zhu, the Zhongsan official, is a close minister who enters and leaves the palace, but he has private relations with the princes and accepted money and goods. His intentions are not right, and he should be executed!"

"All officials, powerful people, and guests who have joined forces with the King of Huainan to raise troops for rebellion should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

At last.

Zhang Tang lived up to his title of being iron-headed and impartial. He said, "The rebellious intentions of the King of Huainan and the King of Hengshan are obvious. They should be expelled from their kingdoms and executed!"

The whole article can basically be summarized in three words:

Kill kill kill!

As for the first few, such as Zhang Cigong and Zhuang Zhuzhe, since they were invited by the ministers, the emperor just waved his hand and agreed.

But to the latter two, the emperor said:
"After all, he is a relative of the royal family. I cannot bear to implicate him. Let the kings, dukes and prime minister discuss the matter."

then.

During the discussion, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong said:

"The Prince of Huainan deceived the world and stole his reputation, secretly befriended guests, and comforted the people. His crime of treason is clear, and he should be executed!"

Very good, with someone taking the lead, the direction of the wind is clear.

King Zhao Liu Pengzu submitted a memorial: "King Huainan An has misled the people, betrayed the ancestral temple, and disturbed the world. He should be killed without mercy!"

King of Jiaoxi Liu Duan, Marquis of Pingyang Cao Xiang and others.

All seconded the motion.

After the charges were determined, the Prime Minister and the Chief Justice jointly submitted a memorial to the Emperor, informing him of the conclusion that was widely expected.

It is said that His Majesty hesitated again and again, and was deeply distressed. In the end, he had no choice but to order the Chief of the Imperial Clan to go to Huainan State for trial with the imperial seal in hand...

That is, on the second day.

Liu Ling and Princess Ling in prison committed suicide out of fear of punishment!

As to whether she committed suicide voluntarily or passively, no one knows.

Is it over now that things have come to this?

Do not!
As soon as the charges were made, the Chief Justice Zhang Tang submitted two memorials in succession, requesting the establishment of the Zuoguan Law and additional laws.

Those who serve the princes privately without being appointed by the imperial court shall be guilty of the crime of being a left official.

Those with serious consequences should be abandoned!

In the Han Dynasty, the right was respected, and calling officials serving under the princes "left officials" was not only a degradation of their character, but also implied guilt.

I have to say, the French are the best at playing...

According to the law of supplementing benefits, if court ministers make friends with princes and accept money and goods, they will be considered as supplementing benefits, and if the case is serious, they will be executed!
Abandon the market.

A more elegant explanation is to execute the person in the market and abandon him to the crowd.

In layman's terms, it is similar to the beheading at Caishikou in later generations.

Zhang Tang's memorial was beneficial to the country, so Your Majesty naturally agreed to it. Not only did you agree to it, you also publicly stated that the Chief Justice was loyal to the king and was truly my right-hand man!

Just like that, a combo is performed.

The treasonous King Huainan was executed, and other princes were also defeated, and the authority of the court was even greater.

look back.

In this seemingly dazzling and overwhelming combo, what did His Majesty the Emperor do?

It's nothing more than a few words of "I can't bear it, I have no choice but to agree, I am your right hand and my life partner"...

Entering August.

The summer heat in Chang'an gradually dissipated, but it still lingered.

The court was bustling with commotion, and the emperor had recently summoned military generals frequently, adding to the noise.

Even in this busy schedule, the emperor still found time to make some other arrangements in the harem.

……

"This time, my son can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. Your father saw that you remained calm when you were assassinated last time, so he specially appointed you as a Grand Tutor and Junior Tutor in advance."

Jiaofang Hall.

Queen Wei Zifu straightened Liu Ju's clothes and adjusted his robes while giving him instructions.

"My mother has inquired about it. The Grand Tutor is the former governor of Pei County and has not yet returned to Chang'an, but the Junior Tutor Wu Qianghou will be here soon."

"Wuqiang Hou Zhuang Qingzhai is a descendant of the founding nobles and once served as the Imperial Censor. His status and resume are both top-notch."

"When we first meet, you must make a good impression!"

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Wei Zifu tightened her clothes and pretended to be angry. Liu Ju, who was listening attentively, had no choice but to nod repeatedly and give more positive feedback.

"Yes, mother, don't worry!" Seeing this, Wei Zifu gave up and continued to give instructions.

It’s no wonder that the Queen attaches great importance to it. Firstly, it’s out of respect for the teacher. Secondly, she knows that her son will have two more important helpers!

In this era, teachers have a lofty status.

Confucianism has Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers. Miscellaneous schools of thought believe that one should take good care of one's teachers when they are alive and offer respectful sacrifices to them when they die. This is the way to respect teachers.

No matter where you go, you should respect your teachers.

When a teacher's student is the prince, the situation becomes more complicated, which is the second point just mentioned -

The simple teacher-student relationship is mixed with personal dependence!

This type of attachment.

It is not the students who depend on the teacher, but the teachers who depend on the students.

A teacher's fate will change with the honor or disgrace of his students. He may prosper or decline, live or die!
The current emperor, Liu Che's teacher Wei Wan, served as prime minister when Liu Che ascended the throne. He assisted the emperor in implementing new policies and enjoyed great popularity.

This is the prosperity.

However, the new policy angered Empress Dowager Dou, and Wei Wan was dismissed from office on the pretext of something, which marked his downfall.

Chao Cuo, the teacher of Emperor Jing, had his entire life revolving around Emperor Jing and also ending around Emperor Jing.

Its prosperity is also great, and its death is also sudden.

present.

Ever since the emperor appointed Shi Qing and Zhuang Qingzhai as Liu Ju's Prince's Grand Tutor and Prince's Junior Tutor.

The relationship and fate of the three of them are closely tied together and will not change due to anyone's subjective likes and dislikes.

This is a strong correlation given by the times!

Of course.

If you are not interested in the above evidence, there is another simple and intuitive statement, just six words:
The three of them were tied up to death!
North side of Weiyang Palace.

Under the palace corridor, the crown prince was in front with his sword, followed closely by Minister Su.

"Your Highness, Shi Qing's family has a long history of learning. His father, Shi Fen, once served Emperor Gao and was known as Wan Shijun."

"Oh?"

Liu Ju loosened his collar and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Shi Fen had four sons, all of whom held the rank of 2,000-stone official. He himself was also a 2,000-stone official. People outside respected him for his good teaching and respectfully called him Lord Wanshi."

Hearing this, Liu Ju seemed to understand something.

At present, it seems that his tutor is probably very knowledgeable. After all, the family heirloom is here, so he has a general impression in his mind. He asked again:
"What about Wu Qianghou?"

This person was too prominent and known to everyone, but Su Wu had nothing much to say. He just said: He was a founding hero and held the position of one of the Three Dukes.

It is exactly the same as what the Queen told me.

Liu Ju nodded slightly, no longer questioning the two teachers, but paused, looked back, and chuckled:

"Minister Su, I am going to tell my father to transfer you to be the prince's attendant. What do you think?"

The words were spoken lightly.

But to Su Wu's ears, it sounded like thunder!

This calm young man lost his composure for a moment, his face flushed, he raised his hands and put them down, put them down and raised them up again, he was so excited that he was at a loss.

What is the Prince's Sheren?

Salary and official position are not important, you don't need to know them. You just need to understand the value of these four words "Qiandi Jiuren".

E.g.

When Emperor Liu Che was still the crown prince, he had a servant named Gongsun He.

When Emperor Liu Che ascended the throne, Gongsun He was promoted directly from the Prince's Sheren with a salary of 200 stones to the position of Taifu, one of the Nine Ministers with a salary of 2,000 stones!

The emperor even personally acted as a matchmaker and married Empress Wei Zifu's sister Wei Junru to Gongsun He.

Yes, he is Liu Ju's uncle now.

What is a distinguished person? What is a rapid promotion? What is a prince's attendant?

This is!
As long as he jumped up, it was like he had one foot on the threshold of a promising future. How could Su Wu not be happy and surprised when he heard this?!

"Your Highness, I am ashamed of your kindness!"

"When Chang'an was assassinated, it was because I spoke too much that the assassin got close to me. Your Highness did not punish me for dereliction of duty, but..."

As he said this, the man's eyes turned red and he was about to kneel on one knee.

"Eh!"

Liu Ju quickly reached out to support him, and said unhappily: "Don't I know what happened that day? Not only are you not guilty of dereliction of duty, but you have made a great contribution!"

The words end here.

At the foot of an unknown corridor in the Weiyang Palace, the prince grasped Su Wu's hand tightly and said solemnly: "You saved my life, and I will always remember it!"

"As long as I am here, you will be glorious!"

This is a solemn political commitment.

The afternoon breeze blew through the corridor, bringing a little coolness, which suddenly woke Minister Su up. He then bowed deeply, weeping and kowtowed.

"I, Su Wu, dare not disobey your orders!"
