After reaching the crown, he doesn't remember much about the trial of rats when he was a child, but this matter is often brought up by others.

Zhang Tang was very disturbed, and every time he heard it, he just shook his head expressionlessly.

In his world, the past is the past.

He even knew that Sima Qian had secretly made a note.

Zhang Tang, Du Ren also.His father was the Cheng of Chang'an, and he went out, and Tang guarded the house for his son.Returning the rat to steal the meat, his father was angry and whipped the soup.Tang excavated the cave to get the rats and the remaining meat, impeached the rats and plundered them, passed on the book, interrogated the newspaper, and took the rats and meat, and put them under the prison hall.When his father saw it, he regarded his diction as an old jailer. He was shocked and sent him to prison.

In fact, it was just a moment of embarrassment, and there was no desire to be involved with the criminal law. Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was inevitable——Zhang Tang himself couldn't tell the difference.

When he discovered it, it was already inseparable from the matter of governance.

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, his childishness is also different from others.What others are playing is throwing pots and spring outings and releasing paper kites, but Zhang Tang, he actually set up a torture hall to interrogate rats...

He is the ruthless Zhang Tang, women in the city often stop their children from crying at night in his name.

Such things were often made fun of by the princelings at the time. Later, Li Ling, who was rumored to have surrendered to the Huns, patted Zhang Tang on the shoulder and said: "Zhang Tang, Zhang Tang, if you smile, there will be many It's a pity that a beautiful woman throws herself into her arms, it's a pity..."

At this time, Guo Sheren often snickered aside, and the others began to mourn for Li Ling.

The next moment Li Ling knew that he shouldn't do this, so he withdrew his hand and waved it: "I didn't mean it, Zhang Tang and we are good brothers, you can't hold grudges!"

I vaguely remember that I smiled at that time, but didn't speak.

Zhang Tang's life is actually very boring, going to court, adjudicating cases, and going home.

After Emperor Jing died and Liu Che ascended the throne, Zhang Tang met Liu Ling, a beautiful femme fatale.

He didn't care, Zhang Tang, who never thought of himself as a good person, had acquiesced in Liu Ling and King Huainan's overtures.

The new emperor ascends the throne and canonize the queen.

On that day, a group of their princelings went to Princess Guantao's mansion. Chen Ajiao, who was wearing a red wedding dress, asked them to call her queen. Her posture was full of cuteness.

At that time, Guo Sheren was laughing, Li Ling was also happy, and Guan Fu was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Tang just lowered his eyes, thinking of Chen Ajiao from Guantao Princess' Mansion.

He already had a calm temperament at a young age, and has always been the focus of the entire Chang'an gentry, but it has gradually changed now.

Zhang Tang's father was just a little Chang'an Cheng, but when his father was alive, he also went to the Guantao Princess's mansion to have a banquet with him. A petty official like his father was just a supplementary, accompanying the last seat, with those adults with low official positions around him. Let's exchange cups.

Zhang Tang quietly left the banquet. He was already a young man, but he didn't like such a debauched and extravagant attitude. Liu Che was still young at that time, and I heard that he also came quietly in disguise.

Along the promenade of Guantao Princess Mansion, one can see the rockery in the courtyard, the stones piled in the rectangular basin, the flowing water, the moss, and the small bamboo grove beside the courtyard.

Zhang Tang walked forward, but heard someone talking.

"Danbai, go to the back kitchen and tell the cook to cut half of the dishes arranged by the eldest princess."

"Miss, this...why is this?"

"Don't ask too many questions, just do it. If the cook asks, just say I said it."

"Yes."

Then Zhang Tang saw a woman in a dark blue curly skirt coming out from the back of the corridor, with her sleeves covering half of her face, her brows were fixed in thought, she turned around the corridor, and bumped into herself.

Fortunately, Zhang Tang saw the opportunity quickly and gave way to avoid being bumped into his arms.

Zhang Tang had already heard the conversation between the master and the servant just now, and guessed that the one who spoke was Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Princess Guantao, the little girl who hadn't grown up yet.

At that time, Zhang Tang was not very old, but he knew a lot.

Chen Ajiao was taken aback, but when she put down her sleeves and folded her hands on her waist, she was already calm, as if nothing happened just now.

"Master Zhangtang, right? The banquet is over here."

She found a reason for both of them.

At that time Zhang Tang was thinking, she is so smart.

He stopped here, the position was neither awkward nor awkward, he clearly heard her words, but these words are important and important, and it doesn't seem to matter if it is irrelevant. It seems that it is not very good to say that Zhang Tang is eavesdropping .

Before he could think of a speech, Chen Ajiao had already paved the way for him.

At that moment, Zhang Tang looked at Chen Ajiao, but after all, she was Princess Guantao's favorite granddaughter, the beloved granddaughter of Empress Dowager Dou, he was just the son of a humble official, how dare he offend her?

So he lowered his head and explained: "Zhang Tang is not lost, he just went for a walk."

Hearing what he said, it was Chen Ajiao's turn to be stunned for a moment. Her wandering eyes slid across his face quietly, but she said with a smile: "In that case, Mr. Zhang, please go. There are maids and servants outside the corridor, Mr. Zhang has nothing to do. Can be summoned. Gillian will leave first."

He leaned over slightly, and Chen Ajiao took half a small step back, and then started to walk past him again.

He habitually turned his hands back, but suddenly felt that such an act was too old-fashioned, so he put his hands in front of his body again, which made him look a lot more humble.

This is a habit that Zhang Tang is forcing himself to develop. People should not be too arrogant and easy to break.

Putting your hands in front of your body and tucking them into your sleeves, although it is more old-fashioned, it is rare to make people feel modest and calm.

Those who hide their sleeves are more conceited, and those who hide their sleeves are more humble.

Zhang Tang, on the other hand, was conceited, but behaved humbly.

This is what Chen Ajiao saw right through many years later—she said Zhang Tang, but she was actually conceited.

So what if he is conceited?

No one else knows, only you know.

After Chen Ajiao's birthday party, the news spread that she stumbled, fell to her head and lost her memory. Zhang Tang didn't feel anything, but felt that Chen Ajiao that night was not the person he saw later.

Before the Nagato Palace incident, Chen Ajiao was just one of the many people Zhang Tang knew in the past, although she was a difficult one.

Zhang Tang is the one who knows the most about the curse of Empress Chen's witchcraft. On that day, he was summoned by the young emperor into the Hall of Proclamation, and he said to his confidants: "I can't find the old Gillian. , but I don't want her to die."

Cruel as Zhang Tang, he just said: "Your Majesty, let me give up as I should."

Liu Che thought for a long time, and Zhang Tang also stood for a long time.

Liu Che who can't make up his mind, the emperor who can't make up his mind.

Zhang Tang finally persuaded: "Your Majesty can't bear it, why not leave it to Zhang Tang."

At this moment, Zhang Tang and Ben didn't know that one day, he would make a big mistake because of his reluctance.

He personally designed the scourge of witchcraft, watching Liu Che reluctantly ordered Chen Ajiao to be thrown into the Nagato Palace, Zhang Tang didn't feel any guilt at all, and no one even knew that those were his own ideas.It's just that the situation forced the position of the queen to have an impact on the entire court situation.

At this time, Chen Ajiao was just an irrelevant passerby.

Created by himself, and handled by himself, he is like a shrewd businessman-after this, he became a court lieutenant.

What she didn't expect was that Chen Ajiao would let someone find her.

It has to be said that at that moment, he had no mercy in his heart and only wanted to kill.

However, the maid who came there was called Dan Bai, and what she said seemed to be that Chen Ajiao from long ago.

No matter whether he wanted to kill Chen Ajiao or not, he wanted to follow Danbai all the way, but the trip to Nagato Palace did not go as he wished.He never wanted to let Chen Ajiao's life go, nor did he want to save her, but he agreed - because another poisonous plot came out.

When Zhang Tang told Guo Sheren in private, he clearly saw the disapproval in Guo Sheren's eyes, but in the end Guo Sheren agreed to his plan.

This is indeed a poisonous plan. He agreed to Chen Ajiao on the surface, but in fact he put her to death conveniently.

As long as she feigns death and lies in the coffin, her life and death are all in her own hands.Zhang Tang thought that Chen Ajiao should know something was wrong, but she finally agreed.

She once held the coffin and asked him where the mechanism was. It was not that he didn't see the deep concern in her eyes, but after he said a word, Chen Ajiao looked at him for a long time.

After a long time, when Zhang Tang went to recall the original scene, there was no other expression on Chen Ajiao's face, only that look - that was not an acceptance of fate, but a gamble.

At that moment, Ajiao Chen was not Princess Guantao's daughter, nor Empress Chen, but an ordinary gambler.

Chen Ajiao doesn't completely believe in herself, and she can't accept her fate, but she is willing to take such a gamble, right?

Maybe she didn't even think that she was betting at the time, but no matter what her original purpose was, she still won the bet.

After all, Zhang Tang was not as poisonous as he imagined.

He carried her out of the tomb passage, and seeing her laughing and cursing when she was weak, he comforted himself in his heart - as long as Chen Ajiao did not leave Chang'an, her life was still in his hands.

only……

Chen Ajiao came up with Chang'an.

He indulged himself and was kind for once.

He hoped that Chen Ajiao would leave Chang'an, but in fact everything he said was a lie. Zhang Tang loved his official position and power the most. How could a mere woman influence his decision?

Zhang Tang really, just wanted to indulge himself for a while.

Kindness had disappeared when he was five years old when he set up a court trial for rats.

Regardless of whether Chen Ajiao is really alive or not, she is already dead in name, then Zhang Tang's goal has been achieved. Chen Ajiao without her relatives can no longer be a cover for those people, even if someone finds her one day, she He no longer bears the name of Lord Weng.

He is vicious, and kindness is only for a moment.

Chen Ajiao, who lacked common sense in life, pawned her belongings. When he found her, he only saw her in a daze.When he learned that she was pregnant and could not leave, Zhang Tang felt absurd. It turned out that God was born to be a villain himself, and his indulgent kindness was not allowed.

Well, then, he can continue to be vicious like this.

He continued to make his own cronies, and he also had his own very good friends in private, but no one else knew. He fought Ji An to the end in the court hall, and continued to search for evidence of crimes against the officials in the court.If someone who is at odds with you commits a crime, there is no need to avoid suspicion. With a little evidence, the matter can be magnified and finally beaten into a trick.For those who have a good relationship with him, unless it is a serious crime that cannot be concealed, Zhang Tang will not hand over the memorial.

After all, he is just a man who is good at playing with power.

The Xiongnu got married, and Liu Ling, the princess of Huainan King, came here again with ulterior motives. In fact, he didn't have much affection for this woman, nor did he dislike her very much.To a certain extent, Liu Ling is actually a very good person, with a meticulous and ruthless mind, and his various vicious methods have many similarities with him.

However, Zhang Tang didn't understand that she suddenly said that he "changed his mind". Zhang Tang never felt that he had a heart, so it was impossible to say that he changed his mind naturally.

Liu Che said that his elder sister Liu Ling was a difficult woman.Zhang Tang understood the meaning of this sentence.

The matter between him and the King of Huainan was gradually planned by Liu Che, and he used all the tricks. It is still too early to cut down the feudal clan, and now is the time to pretend.

The things about Chen Ajiao only came to his ears occasionally, and he was very busy.

Liu Ling came again, and this time asked him to have a drink at the inn, she grabbed Zhang Tang by the sleeve and asked him to drink one cup after another.

Perhaps it was the strange fragrance from Liu Ling's body that bewitched him, and he actually drank one cup after another. Liu Ling said that it was the smell of woody fragrance.

After all, he still drank too much, and he couldn't tell who the person in front of him was. In his dream, there was only fragrance, refreshing and chilling woody fragrance.

Liu Ling's smile was hidden under his dignity, and it had a deceptive taste. He was so drunk that he couldn't see clearly for a long time.

It is easy to have sex after drinking, he is always wrong.

Only this time, it was wrong.

Suddenly, that face changed...

Zhang Tang had a dream, a very long and very short dream, the world in the dream was all red, and when people say they speak the truth after being drunk, he also spoke the truth.

He called Liu Ling's name by mistake.

……

After a night of red candles, the smell of alcohol is still there, and when I wake up from the dream, the smell of woody fragrance also dissipates.

Liu Ling was lying beside him, looking at him with a sneer.

This dream was the source of Chen Ajiao slapping him at the gate of the prison.

One can also guess that Liu Ling must have told Chen Ajiao about this matter.

What she hit was not him, but his presumptuous heart, his coveted heart, and his blasphemy against her.

Mistakenly took Chang'an as Luoyang, but returned to the Changhe River.

At that time, when he knelt in front of her, what lingered in his heart was still the smell of wood.

After all, it is just an impossible luxury.

When he walked into the prison, he only saw Liu Ling's cold body lying on the ground.

The jailer told him what happened just now, but Zhang Tang just stood silently.

Since then, everything has been buried.

He was suppressing those things that should be suppressed, and he didn't dare to think about it again, because at this time, his thoughts might harm her.

Chen Ajiao has returned to the palace again.

It seemed that Liu Ling's affairs did not exist, and there was no barrier between them.

Behind the ashes, her residence in the workshop had been burned, and Chen Ajiao at that moment was something he would never be able to touch.

He walked three steps in front of her, and she handed him the plain jade that had broken into two pieces, Zhang Tang, would you help me?

He took the broken jade, but it seemed that he had already seen the end somewhere.

She who prides herself on being ruthless, who dares to wear an imperial robe, who is calculating every step of the way...

And his official position is getting bigger and bigger. From the little judge at the beginning to the current doctor Yushi, Zhang Tang has gone far enough and climbed high enough, but he doesn't know when he has stopped. He is Liu Che's closest courtier.

However, he still hopes——five baht money, salt and iron theory.

Sang Hongyang said that as soon as the salt and iron came out, blood flowed like a river.

However, Zhang Tang said that if one day, an important official could die because of salt and iron, he would be able to take advantage of the trend and make salt and iron popular in the world.

At that time, Sang Hongyang did not speak.

He is very clear about the weight of this sentence.

Half a year after Zhang Tang finished speaking, he finally had an accident.

Day by day, he picked suitable stones and piled them in the basin, sometimes tall and sometimes short. Dow was watching from the side, as if he was just watching, and Zhang Tang didn't want to explain.

Plain jade that can't be put back together, basin stone that can't be piled up.

The only thing he can take care of is the bowl lotus on the window sill, that thing doesn't need to be taken care of by him, but Zhang Tang just let it fend for itself, and it grows out.

He already knew that Xuanxuan was dissatisfied with him. As for Ning Cheng, it was a long time ago.

Ning Cheng wanted to harm himself, but Zhang Tang had already attacked Ning Cheng as soon as he noticed it. As Chen Ajiao said, there was nothing he couldn't resist.

The kindness of knowledge and encounter is nothing when it concerns one's own interests.

Zhang Tang personally sent away his mentor, Yan Zhu, who was basically innocent, and many people in the past. He killed too many people.

Ning Cheng said that in the six realms of reincarnation, he enters the realm of animals.

Zhang Tang doesn't understand those things, are they all nonsense from the weird people from the west?

The reduction of the declaration immediately asked someone to take him away, but Zhang Tang said, wait for me to put the last stone away.

The last stone, which he had been playing with for a long time, was already smooth and not covered with moss like the other stones, so he put it on gently without falling off.

Then he said to the declaration reduction, you can go.

Decreasing the announcement is a ruthless character. It's not that Chen Ajiao has reminded Zhang Tang to be careful, but Zhang Tang knows that there are some things that cannot be escaped.

He has always been obsessed with the law of salt and iron.

Over the years, many people have committed crimes in Zhang Tang's hands, and there are also many people who have made enemies with Zhang Tang. He can collect other people's handles, and others will collect his Zhang Tang's handles. Everything is double-sided.

Can't escape.

So he took it easy.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would come in person.

At that time, he was looking at the sword.It was left behind by the declaration reduction, a good sword, and the one I always wear by my side.

Shark skin scabbard, cold sword body.

He put the three-foot green blade across his knees, like an old monk in meditation.

When she came, he just quietly hid it.

Then he indulged himself again and asked for wine, but she brought it for him, and even brought medicine.

Chen Ajiao wanted to give him medicine, but he was dying, so why bother?

A glass of wine, no need to worry, but it reminded him of the past.

He babbled a lot, perhaps even more than what he had said to Chen Ajiao before, because after death, he could never speak again.

Zhang Tang thought that he would be able to say the truth that he wanted to say the most, but unfortunately he still didn't.

He was so used to suppressing himself in front of her that he couldn't tell the truth anymore.

Ask her to close her eyes, what do you want to do?

Zhang Tang's hand has already been stretched out, he has even leaned forward, and he can see her Yuan Shandai's eyebrows, thick eyelashes, and slightly pursed lips, he is used to the indifferent look when she looks at people. Eyes, at the moment when she closed her eyes like this at the first glance, she seemed to be asleep, which was very awkward.

He gradually got closer, his palms almost fell to her temples, and his lips were also close, but when he got close to the woody fragrance in his heart, he woke up again.

It's a dream, a dream that wakes up.

As for Zhang Tang, he woke up too early.

After all, his hand was slowly hanging down, even if it was close at hand, he couldn't touch it.

Zhang Tang withdrew, sat upright, let the heat in his eyes fade away, leaving only the original indifference, just like this, quietly, engrave her in his last time.

She opened her eyes and woke up completely from this dream.

He looked at the back of her leaving, and suddenly thought that she still knew her feelings—maybe she should thank Liu Ling.

Chen Ajiao left slowly, he didn't see her turn back, maybe it was because she was blocked when she turned back?

Step by step, she disappeared into her sight and into her own world.

Your Highness, take care.

What he didn't say was that he would rather have this dream than never wake up.
