Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhu Anshi was a death row prisoner designated by the emperor. When he was about to be taken to the execution ground, Jiang Chong came to the death row in person. Jiang Chong naturally attached great importance to this person who even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty valued. He wanted to personally escort and supervise the execution.

    "Are you Zhu Anshi?" Jiang Chong, wearing the clothes he only wore in court, appeared in the death row with a calm demeanor and asked, looking at Zhu Anshi who was already disheveled.

    "Exactly." Zhu Anshi said two words casually in the cell.

    "Verify your identity." Jiang Chong took out a roll of drawing paper from his sleeve and handed it to the manager beside him.

    This is a routine procedure. Since the death penalty is to be carried out, there will be several verifications.  Once before leaving the cell and once at the end of the trip.  Not only for the sake of the strictness of the law, but also to prevent some people from relying on power to get through jailers and replace death row prisoners.

    "Go back to Sili and verify that he is correct. This person is Zhu Anshi." He quickly compared the scrolls and the few lines of small characters on the scrolls, which recorded some special places on Zhu Anshi's body, such as a certain  How big is the mole at a certain location?

    "Are you Jiang Chong, the captain of Sili School?" Suddenly Zhu Anshi raised his head and looked at Jiang Chong across the cell door.

    "Huh? It's me." Jiang Chong was also a little surprised, but he still answered.

    Zhu Anshi suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, then stared at Jiang Chong and slowly stood up.  This Zhu Anshi was over six feet tall, and his burly figure seemed to weigh more than two hundred pounds. His size alone was comparable to that of two ordinary people.

    "I have important news that Sili will be very interested in!" Zhu Anshi's smile became more and more obvious, as if he had almost forgotten that he was about to be executed.

    "What's the news?" Jiang Chong asked with a stern face.  When a prisoner on death row has something to say before he dies, it is his duty to listen.

    "I know a secret This secret is related to the Prime Minister" Zhu Anshi suddenly spoke, and his words made everyone in the prison stunned.

    "Wait a minute! The jailer brings a pen and paper. Write down the following words in pen and ink." Jiang Chong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Anshi from continuing. Instead, he ordered the jailer to record everything Zhu Anshi said next. He did not turn away the words in the prison.  There were twenty or thirty others in the prison at the moment, including the jailer and the soldiers.

    Soon Jiang Chong walked out of the prison holding a roll of paper tightly in his hand, but Zhu Anshi was not escorted out of the prison.  At this moment, the sunlight outside the prison was shining, and Jiang Chong could not feel a trace of warmth on his body. This feeling was exactly the same as when he was scolded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for secretly spying on Huo Guang.

    Looking down at the file in his hand, Jiang Chong knew that he had to make a choice now.

    Jiang Chong did not expect that the last secret Zhu Anshi said was about the prime minister's practice of witchcraft. The details were very detailed, and even the location where the witchcraft was buried was clear.  Jiang Chong didn't know whether he should report to the emperor truthfully. If he reported it truthfully, the Prime Minister would definitely die, and then the Prime Minister would implicate countless dignitaries in Chang'an, and the ultimate finger of all this would definitely point to the Prince. From then on, the Prince would treat him  No more fighting to the death.  Now that the emperor is old and the prince's enthronement is imminent, he will inevitably die in the future.

    Another option is to pretend that this matter never happened, or to hand the dossier directly to the prince.  In this way, there will not be any shock to the government and the public, and the prince will even regard himself as his confidant. After the prince ascends the throne, he will be the minister of the dragon.

    Jiang Chong stood outside the prison for a long time, burning incense. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one knew how he weighed the situation.  But in the end, Jiang Chong got on the carriage, took the file and headed towards Ganquan Palace.

    In Ganquan Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was taking a nap at the moment. There was a small room on the side of the palace, where Zhang Anshi, the Guanglu doctor, and Huo She, the captain of Fengche, sat opposite each other.  Nowadays, apart from Mrs. Gou Yi who accompanies Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, only Zhang Anshi and Huo Shen are accompanying him. Over the past two years, Zhang Anshi and Huo Shen have also established a quite harmonious relationship.

    "Has the Governor sent any letters to the Champion Marquis recently? The war in the Western Regions is getting more and more intense, but the news received by the Central Government is getting less and less." Zhang Anshi doesn't like to laugh very much, and his tone of voice is also very solemn.  Huo Shan had long been accustomed to his appearance. He knew that this was not Zhang Anshi's aloofness, but that he had been like this since he was a child. In fact, Zhang Anshi was still very easy to get along with.

    "Hey, my second uncle rarely writes to me alone. My Aunt Tang should know what's going on in the Western Regions. But I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know what's going on lately!" Huo Shan said sheepishly.  There is an age difference of more than ten years with Zhang Anshi, but he has already regarded Zhang Anshi as a friend, and he talks very casually.

    "Miss Tang she is a strange woman in the world" I heard Huo She say that Huo Tang, even someone like Zhang AnshiHe praised it freely.

    "What a pity My Aunt Tang is devoted to my second uncle, and I'm afraid she will end up alone in her life!" Huo Shan said with some regret, and she didn't know who he was feeling sorry for.

    "Wellhow could the champion say such things about his elders? If these words get out, it will cause countless rumors to both the Governor and Miss Tang." Zhang Anshi looked at Huo Shan with a straight face.  , said in a tone like that of an elder.

    "Hehe Brother Zhang is not the only one here, Huo Shan can still trust Brother Zhang's character." Huo Shan grinned, but he still looked like a heartless child.

    "By the way, Brother Zhang, when can we return to Chang'an?" Huo Shan felt very bored recently. Although the Ganquan Palace was not bad, it was far away from the prosperity of Chang'an. For Zhang Anshi, who likes peace and quiet, this place is very good.  But for Huo Shan, living here is like a year.

    Looking at Huo Shen¡¯s depressed look, Zhang Anshi showed a rare smile and said: ¡°I¡¯m afraid we have to wait until Mrs. Gou Yi gives birth at least three or four months!¡±

    The main reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to live in Ganquan Palace was to raise a child for Mrs. Gou Yi.  It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was really powerful, and he actually got Mrs. Gou Yi pregnant when he was old.  Ganquan Palace was renovated last year. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that it was quiet and clean, which was suitable for Mrs. Gou Yi to raise her baby here.

    "Report Captain Si Li is outside the palace, saying that he has something urgent to ask to see His Majesty." While Zhang Anshi and Huo Yan were still chatting, an emperor's guard reported outside the house.

    Now that Huo Shan is the captain of Fengche, he is in charge of all matters related to the emperor's travel escort. The emperor's guards of nearly 2,000 people are Ting Ming and Huo Shan.  It can be said that Huo Shanzai was in charge of the last line of defense beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    "Your Majesty is taking a nap, let him come in first." Huo Shan responded casually.  Jiang Chong had the right to meet the emperor at any time, but Huo Shan was unwilling to wake up Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty before he knew the specific situation.

    Soon Jiang Chong was led by the imperial guards to this small room.

    "His Majesty is taking a nap now. Is it necessary to meet with His Majesty immediately regarding the matter of Captain Sili? How about resting here for a while first?" Zhang Anshi saw that Jiang Chong was in a hurry. He couldn't ask directly what was going on, so he explained.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was taking a nap. It was up to Jiang Chong to decide whether he needed to be woken up.

    "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not delay it for a moment Please tell me, please!" Jiang Chong said to Zhang Anshi and Huo Shan, cupping his hands.  He finally decided to be loyal to his duty and sent the files exposing Prime Minister Gongsun He to Ganquan Palace.

    Zhang Anshi and Huo Shan looked at each other, and their expressions became serious. It could be seen that Jiang Chong's expression was heavy, and something serious must have happened.

    "Then I'll go pass it on!" Zhang Anshi raised his steps and was about to go to the emperor's palace.

    "Wait a minute, Brother Zhang let me go, little brother!" Suddenly Huo Shan stopped Zhang Anshi, and the two looked at each other. Zhang Anshi saw the meaning in Huo Shan's eyes, and stopped and nodded.  nod.

    The emperor and Mrs. Gou Yi are taking a nap now, and it would be inappropriate for anyone to go there.  Only Huo Shan was still a half-child in the eyes of the emperor, and because of his father Huo Qubing, the emperor had always treated Huo Shan like his own children and grandchildren, so it was most appropriate for him to go at this time.

    Soon Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Jiang Chong in another side hall. Beside him were Zhang Anshi and Huo Shen, one on the left and one on the right. Jiang Chong stood with his hands hanging down a foot away.

    "What's the matter?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked casually, still looking a little sleepy.

    "I am afraid this matter involves too much, so I can only ask Your Majesty to make a decision!" Jiang Chong quickly took out the file from his sleeve, raised it high above his head and bowed to Emperor Wu of Han in panic.

    Seeing this, Zhang Anshi stepped forward to take the dossier naturally, then approached Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and handed the dossier to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  At this moment, Jiang Chong still lowered his head and did not dare to look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the file and read it with a hazy sleepiness. After reading less than two lines, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly changed his expression and his sleepiness disappeared. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and then continued to read with a solemn expression.

    "Huh" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty snorted heavily, slapped the file with his palm, then stared at Jiang Chong and asked Jiang Chong with a gloomy face: "Have you checked the places mentioned in it?"

    "Your Majesty, I haven't verified it yet. I don't dare to make an independent decision." Jiang Chong quickly lowered his head and replied.

    Zhu Anshi's oral confession mentioned that there were several places where Gongsun He buried witchcraft. So far, Jiang Chong has not sent anyone to check. He felt that even if he wanted to unearth evidence, it would be best to let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty know, and at the same time have other people witness more  good.

    "You return to Chang'an immediately, take Gongsun He into custody first, and go quickly.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed at Jiang Chong and said, with only a confession, Liu Che made the decision to detain the prime minister first.

    Zhang Anshi and Huo She looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes. They still didn't know what Jiang Chong showed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that would make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty make such a decision.  The detention of the prime minister was enough to shock the entire government and the public, and even implicated countless people.

    "I obey your decree" Jiang Chong bowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then retreated and hurried back to Chang'an.  Since the emperor has made a decree, he can just carry it out. Whether there is any hidden secret is not his responsibility.

    "Zhang Anshi" After Jiang Chong withdrew, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty called Zhang Anshi's name again.

    "I'm here," Zhang Anshi bowed and responded.

    At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had stood up and said with an extremely serious expression: "You and Liu Quyou will go to the place above immediately to see if there are any clues."

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty handed the file to Zhang Anshi at the same time and asked him to go with Liu Quyou to investigate the evidence of witchcraft.

    This Liu Quyou is the son of Liu Sheng, the brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but because this King of Zhongshan Liu Sheng was so fertile, he had more than a hundred sons in his life.  Because there were too many sons and no place to ennoble them, many of the descendants of King Zhongshan were not ennobled.

    Liu Qumo was one of the untitled sons of King Jing of Zhongshan. He was also the nephew of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty according to his seniority, but he was not much younger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  Liu Qumo has been serving as the governor of Zhuo County for more than ten years as a member of the clan. He was recently transferred back to Chang'an by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and is still idle at home.

    One advantage of this Zhongshan King lineage is that they only enjoy themselves and never fight for power, fame or fortune, and they never have too much contact with the ministers of the court.  It was precisely because of this that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty planned to use Liu Quya at this time. After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that sometimes his own family was still reliable.
