1050. Chapter 1050 The Informer Ends the Defendant
After the scandal in Zhang Liang's mansion spread in the capital, it naturally became the talk of many people after dinner. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There seems to be no shortage of well-informed people in this world.
When everyone is talking about the affair between the Li family and Zhang Liang's fake son, it will naturally involve Zhang Liang's adopted son.
"Have you heard that Zhang Liang actually raised five hundred adopted sons."
"It's really fake, what is he doing raising so many sons, doesn't he have sons?"
"There was only one, and then it couldn't be born, so I raised so many."
"Good boy, that's too much, you can form an army."
Everyone is just talking about this, purely to pass the boring time, but these remarks are spreading more and more, and the more they seem to be true, in the end, it turned out that Zhang Liang raised 500 adopted sons in order to form an army, and it was likely to rebel.
It is useless for the people to say this, but some people in the court got into their hearts after hearing this, and checked that Zhang Liang really had five hundred adopted sons, and then continued to investigate, and found that Zhang Liang's recent behavior was quite strange, and he even bought soldiers in secret.
After discovering this, those officials in the court dared to be idle, and immediately went to the palace to report.
The whistleblower is eventually denounced.
Zhang Liang used to rely on Gao Mifa's family, and he never thought that he would be sued.
The person who sued Zhang Liang was called Changde, just a petty official in Chang'an City, but he also wanted to make a fortune by telling the whistle like Zhang Liang, although he didn't have the evidence that Zhang Liang really wanted to rebel, but he still entered the palace Gaomi.
Although Li Shimin's health is not very good, he will never let go of this kind of thing, so he met Changde.
"Shengshang, Zhang Liang raised five hundred adopted sons, and practiced at home, he even bought soldiers in the army, this Zhang Liang's heart has been revealed."
After listening to Changde's words, Li Shimin frowned, and then asked, "Is there any evidence to prove this?" ”
"Saint, the matter of five hundred adopted sons is very conclusive, and now the people in Chang'an City are spreading it, but the matter of buying soldiers, the ministers are low, and they have not been investigated."
Li Shimin nodded, and then issued an order to let Ma Zhou investigate Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang was a hero from the dragon and had made a lot of contributions before, so although Li Shimin asked Ma Zhou to investigate Zhang Liang, he only asked him to investigate in a moderating way, so as not to make people think that he Li Shimin was going to kill the hero.
Although he Li Shimin is not the founding emperor, he is actually about the same, and the founding emperor has liked to kill heroes since Liu Bang, and this practice has been enduring for a long time, Li Shimin naturally knows this, but he Li Shimin wants to be the first emperor through the ages, so he doesn't want to leave his own killing heroes in the history books.
Unless the hero is extremely guilty, he will not kill under normal circumstances.
Now Zhang Liang's matter is just rumors, and there is no real evidence, he doesn't want to make much trouble.
Ma Zhou knew Li Shimin very well, so after he received Li Shimin's order, he only took a few people to Zhang Liang's house, and he didn't even ask Zhang Liang in an interrogative tone, just asked a few words like an ordinary conversation.
"Master Zhang, some people say that you want to rebel, and you have raised five hundred adopted sons, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Ma Zhou's arrival made Zhang Liang very nervous, he never thought that because of the matter of his wife Li, someone would investigate him, and some people even told him about the secret, whether he was the ancestor or not?
However, although Zhang Liang was nervous, after all, he had been an official for decades, and he had seen a lot of big and small things, and he was asked by Ma Zhou, he was still able to maintain his composure, and said: "Framed, these are pure frames, I, Zhang Liang, have raised a few godsons, but there are not as many as five hundred, this is a frame-up ...... for my Zhang Liang."
Hearing Zhang Liang say this, Ma Zhou was not in a hurry, and continued to ask: "Can you take this official around the mansion to take a look?" ”
Zhang Liang knew that Ma Zhou wanted to see if there was anything suspicious from his house, and he wanted to refuse, but he also knew that he couldn't refuse, so after hesitating, he still nodded: "Please." ”
Zhang Liang took Ma Zhou to take a look at the mansion, Zhang Liang's mansion is not small, after Ma Zhou saw it, he didn't show his face, and after reading it, he said a few words casually and left.
Seeing Ma Zhou like this, Zhang Liang's heart could not settle down, so he hurriedly invited Cheng Gongying again.
"Cheng Banxian, now that something like this has happened, what do you think I should do?"
Cheng Gongying pinched his fingers and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is God wants you to ascend the throne earlier, a good omen, a good omen." ”
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't talk about this yet, you just say what I should do now, right?" ”
"Lead the troops to leave Chang'an City, go straight to Xiangzhou, and capture Xiangzhou with lightning speed, then you can be the king and hegemon."
"Leaving now?" Zhang Liang was a little hesitant, now Ma Zhou is just here to ask, whether Li Shimin has decided that he has rebelled, he is really a little reluctant to leave at this time.
Cheng Gongying said: "It's better to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible, and leave early to become emperor." ”
Zhang Liang hesitated: "Let me think again." ”
Zhang Liang was ready to think about it, but an incident forced him to put Cheng Gongying's words into practice.
But said that after Ma Zhou left Zhang Liang's mansion, he immediately sent someone to find a way to catch a few Zhang Liang's godsons to ask, it is not easy to ask from Zhang Liang, but from Zhang Liang's godson, he should be able to ask something.
After investigating Zhang Liang's mansion, he already vaguely felt that Zhang Liang's mansion was very suspicious, but Li Shimin would have made a big move, so he had to start with Zhang Liang's godson.
Zhang Liang has so many godsons, it is normal for Ma Zhou to want to grab a few to ask.
Soon, Ma Zhou's subordinates caught Zhang Liang's two godsons: Gongsun Chang and Gongsun Jie.
After catching these two people, Ma Zhou immediately began to ask, but at the same time, the news also spread to Zhang Liang's mansion, Zhang Liang heard that Ma Zhou had arrested Gongsun Chang and Gongsun Jie, the two godsons, and his heart immediately panicked, if they couldn't hold on and tell the truth, then he hadn't left Chang'an City, and he was afraid that he would be executed.
He suddenly felt that what Cheng Gongying said was right, he should leave Chang'an City as soon as possible.
With this thought, Zhang Liang immediately prepared secretly, and when the city gate was about to close that night, he suddenly rushed out of the city with his five hundred adopted sons and a thousand soldiers he had bought.
Out of the city, there were still 500 families waiting outside, and after such a rendezvous, Zhang Liang led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Xiangzhou to raid.
Things happened a little suddenly, which was a little unexpected, everyone never thought that Zhang Liang would really rebel with soldiers and horses, at first everyone thought that these were all false, but after seeing Zhang Liang really lead the troops to rebel, who of them would think that the previous rumors were false?
Chang'an, the capital, was suddenly in chaos, and one after another was sent to the palace, Li Shimin's eyebrows were horizontal, and he threw away all these twists and turns with a flick of his hand.
