Zang Di and Han Guang haven't seen each other for some days.

Before Yan was merged and annexed, Zang Di led troops in the Central Plains, first went south to help Zhao deal with the advance of the Qin army, and continued to go south after temporarily relieving Zhao's crisis. He once stationed troops in Hedong County, and once led his army to attack Sanchuan County, where the Central Plains Army of the Qin State was located, and his army even tried to attack Lü Zhe's territory south before it was destroyed.

However, Zang Di was preemptively attacked on the way to Lu Zhe, and suffered a major blow later, and was flanked by the Qin army and the Han army under Xu Yan's department under the food shortage, and finally could only surrender to the Han army at that time with his subordinates who did not disperse.

After Zang Di surrendered, he got the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he first collected the Yan soldiers who fled because of the rout, and did his best to reduce the number of rout soldiers in the people, which more or less played a role in local security.

After doing such a thing, he followed Lu Zhe's army to the Central Plains all the way north, and finally played some roles in the wars of Jibei County, Hengshan County, etc., such as persuading the Qi army in various cities along the road and persuading Han Guang to surrender. The greatest credit was to persuade Han Guang to surrender, and then let his subordinates in Yandi surrender to Lu Zhe, which made a great contribution to Lu Zhe's relatively peaceful acquisition of Yandi.

"Brother Xian, you really look good in this......" Han Guang didn't hide his envy at all, he was talking about the uniform of the imperial high-ranking generals on Zang Di's body.

The complicated expression on Zang Di's face became more obvious, and he was silent for a while, and said bitterly: "One wrong step, every wrong step, you could have worn such a suit." ”

The military uniform of the empire has been changed for the third time, giving up the looseness of the old era and replacing it with a close-fitting and straight style, and the military uniform is also differentiated, which is a combat uniform and a dress, which is no longer the same style for all occasions. However, there is one thing that has not changed much, the color of the military uniform is still generally black and red, but the higher the level, the more gorgeous and noble. For example, in addition to the two colors of black and red, the generals above the rank of Zhonglang have added two patterns and trims of purple and golden yellow.

What did Han Guangxing make a mistake? To be counted seriously, from the perspective of different camps, he has done a lot of wrong things.

Tian Dan, the king of Qi, marched south, and at the same time gathered the Donghu people of different races, and conspired with the Donghu people to have a share of Han Guang. In addition, Han Guang also had a part of contacting the Huns with Tian Dan, and it can be said that the reason why Touman invaded south was because of Han Guang's great role.

Lü Zhe defeated many people on the battlefield, some of them fought to the death without surrendering, but those who surrendered were rarely executed by Lü Zhe's order. More people who were willing to work for Lu Zhe after surrendering could also be reused.

To tell the truth, Lu Zhe really tried his best to treat those who surrendered in the civil war, as long as they didn't do anything too angry, and the group of people who were executed were all people who burned, looted, and did all kinds of evil during the civil war. Although some people have done certain things, but they are still kind to the Chinese Miao people during the period of leading the troops or in power, Lu Zhe has repeatedly considered killing a group and leaving a group, but the group left behind did not leave any place in the empire at all.

Han Guang, Han Xin (Han Wangxin), Chen Yu and some other people with sufficient evidence of collusion with other races. Among them, Han Wangxin disappeared, and Chen Yu tried his best to make up for it before Lu Zhe settled the account afterwards, and Han Guang was still struggling when the disaster came.

There is enough information to show that Han Wangxin led people to flee into the grassland before the army arrived, and if he was going to defect to the Huns. After the Han army came out of the fortress, there was a special arrest, but no trace of Han Wangxin and others was found, and I don't know where they went.

Recently, the empire has learned some news from the Wusun people, and there is a trace of Han Wangxin in the Western Court of the Xiongnu in Junji Mountain. He became the guest of honor of the little prince of the Huns. Ji Tuo even gave him the right to select men from among the slaves captured by the Xiongnu on the basis of the 500 or so people he had originally brought with him, and organized an army of Chinese and Miao blood. The number seems to be 10,000, so Han Wangxin also became the so-called commander of the Xiongnu.

"Chen Yu is very peaceful." Zang Tu means something.

"That old thing, he has Zhang Er and some people to take care of and help, and if he can have a place in the empire, he will naturally settle down!" Han Guang didn't know what he was stimulated, and suddenly became a little excited: "Guang doesn't have a neck-to-neck friend like Zhang Er, and the Son of Heaven didn't give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Unwilling, really unwilling, I, Han Guang, can also make a difference, I shouldn't be silent, I shouldn't be silent! ”

How could Zang Di not hear that Han Guang was referring to Sang scolding Huai? Yes, Chen Yu and Zhang Er are friends with each other, so Zhang Er will intercede with Lu Zhe for Chen Yu whenever he has the opportunity, but Lu Zhe is obviously not a soft-eared person, Lu Zhe will not easily change his mind because of some people's pleas, or Chen Yu tried his best to make amends and seized the opportunity. In Zang Di's opinion, Chen Yu can have a place in the empire today because of hard work, what about Han Guang? Han Guang had more than one opportunity to work hard, but no, Han Guang was still going farther and farther on the lost path.

Han Guang had the opportunity to make up for it, for example, when the Han army was fighting with Donghu, he could accept Zang Di's suggestion to send troops to the Donghu people from behind, but no, not only did he not agree to stay in place, but he sent troops to assist the Donghu people to attack the Han army on the flank, trying to reverse the situation, causing a certain degree of trouble to Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe has never been stingy in giving people who have done wrong things a chance to get lost, Han Guang not only did not make meritorious contributions, but broke the promise on the grounds that he was not tired of deceit, to tell the truth, Han Guang is still not dead, it is Zang Tu who doesn't know how many brain cells have been consumed, and it is Zang Tu who has been begging Lu Zhe regardless of the risk of being implicated, so that Han Guang can still stand here now.

"You ......" Zang Di looked at the emotional Han Guang, and his heart became even more bitter. He didn't want Han Guang to have a place in the empire, after all, no matter how the friendship between the two was really good, if Han Guang could also develop in the empire, how could they help each other with their friendship.

"How?" Han Guang sneered: "General Zang, I don't know that you brought troops to find Han Guang to take Han Guang's head, so as to distinguish the line, so as not to prevent you from having a further opportunity in the empire?" ”

"You shouldn't be like that." Zang Di smiled bitterly: "Don't let people know, unless you don't do it." An An cultivated for a period of time, and then sought a recovery on the right path, Chen Yu was able to do it. Why don't you give it a try? ”

"Guang is seeking a comeback!" Han Guang continued to sneer: "Guang has no friends with his neck, he can only rely on his own efforts and means. Although Guang's methods are a bit excessive, it doesn't seem that he has committed a capital crime, right? ”

"Can I have a search?" Zang Di knew that if he continued to talk, he would only be more non-speculative, and he would not speculate for more than half a sentence, straighten his face and go directly to the topic.

Han Guang still had a sneer on his face: "Search? Search. Not to mention whether it can be found, even if it is, the laws of the empire do not prevent friends from gathering, let alone convict them as trumped-up. ”

Zang Di nodded, and directly ordered the armor: "Search!" ”

The surrounding armor soldiers all shouted "No!" ”。 The officer-in-arms immediately left to call for men and searched the mansion.

The soldiers all left, leaving only Zang Di and Han Guang in the vestibule, who stood in silence and did not speak for a while.

In the sound of footsteps, the soldiers who had been outside the mansion entered in large numbers, and the soldiers poured into the mansion under the leadership of the officers, and then began to search around.

"Your Majesty is furious." It took a while for Zang Di to speak again: "The empire did not prevent friends from gathering, and there are no trumped-up laws. ”

Han Guang's response was a cold snort.

"Confucianism is stirring up trouble today. Launching exhortations in the form of suicide, they chose the wrong time and the wrong way. Zang Di said to himself: "It is all the nobles who are about to be knighted that they are offended, because their words also offend the dead law and soldiers." ”

Han Guang's eyes flickered. On the surface, it didn't matter, but in my heart, I was desperate to know what was going on over there in Miyagi Tower, and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows when I heard it.

"How to clean up Confucianism, that's after today." Zang Di's tone was very flat. He continued: "There were people on the scene who took the opportunity to make trouble, shouting all kinds of slogans in an attempt to disrupt the order that had been maintained. The slogans are varied. It can be big or small, there are those who shout for the restoration of the old nations, those are jokes, don't mention it, but it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be shouted out of the Qingjun's side. ”

"Qingjun's side?" Han Guang was a little stunned and a little stunned, and said in surprise: "What Qingjun side?" ”

It seemed that Han Guang's surprise was not pretending, Zang Di repeated the description, and then said: "The group of people who shouted out from Qingjun's side were killed on the spot, and some people were also arrested. Those who tried to cause chaos, all were arrested. ”

Han Guang's face changed completely.

"Before I came over, Zhonglang General Zhou Wen had already led his troops towards some places. His goal was clear, and that was because someone had already reported it beforehand. Zang Di ignored Han Guang's face becoming more and more ugly: "Now, those places should have been surrounded by a large army, but I don't know how many people will be found, whether those people are wearing armor and holding sharp blades, and I don't know if there are strong bows and crossbows." ”

The empire did not prohibit civilians from owning weapons, but there were some categories that were explicitly forbidden to possess them, namely, armor, bows, and crossbows.

Armor, no matter which dynasty or generation is a controlled product, if there are one or two pieces, it is nothing, but if the number exceeds a certain number, then no matter what the reason is, having a large amount of armor can only be related to the imminent uprising, or the intention to rebel.

The strong bow refers to the bow of more than one stone, including the three-edged armor-piercing arrow, and the bow below one stone is not prohibited, after all, there is a habit of hunting in these years, and there are many schools in the hundred schools that will teach archery.

Needless to say, no matter what the reason, non-official institutions must not have crossbows, all because this thing can be large or small, and it can also be wound with crossbow arrows in advance, and it can suddenly be pulled out of a place to shoot an arrow, which makes people very careless, and the lethality is very large, and the range is really relatively long, I can't help but what else it forbids?

Han Guang seemed to be relieved for some reason, and the sneering expression on his face regained it, but he didn't speak.

At this moment, not only is there a large number of troops in Nanling City, but there are also troops in the entire Nanjun outside Nanling City, and even the entire imperial territory.

This is a planned empire-wide combing operation, which is to completely clear out thieves and bandits, and also to arrest or warn some people.

The empire is about to face a grassland war that I don't know how many years it will fight, and "the outside must first be inside" is not a thought that only existed in the principal's era, nor is it only in Huaxia. Once a country wants to wage a protracted war with the outside world, how can a country not first stabilize its internal affairs and conduct a war externally if it is unstable internally? Therefore, maintaining internal stability has become the primary condition, and a country with internal instability is in a state of protracted war, and whether the foreign war goes smoothly or not is secondary, and the internal turmoil will not only fail the foreign war, but also the country will fall into internal strife, leading to the collapse of the country.

Zang Di and Han Guang fell into a state of silence again, but the silence did not last long, and some movement occurred in other places in the mansion.

An officer came over to report: "Inform General Zhonglang that a secret room has been found in the mansion, and seventeen people have been driven out of the secret room. ”

Zang Di glanced at Han Guang, whose face had changed drastically, then looked at the officer who came to report, and asked, "Can there be resistance?" ”

The officer replied: "There was no resistance. ”

Han Guang, who was standing on the side, regained his composure and snorted coldly.

It didn't take much time for a soldier to bring over those people who had been searched from the secret room, and Zang Di took a look, and many of the seventeen were people he knew.

"You're smart enough to not resist the armor." Zang Di's voice was full of majesty: "But, what are you doing hiding in the secret room? ”

The seventeen people who were brought over subconsciously looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to speak with different expressions.

"Imperial law doesn't stipulate that you can't enter the basement idle, right?" Han Guang looked at Zang Di and kept sneering: "The Son of Heaven has repeatedly emphasized that the empire is a country of laws, and whether a person is guilty or not depends on whether there is a crime in the law. ”

In fact, Lu Zhe has repeatedly emphasized that the rule of law is really not a secret, and he has repeatedly stated that officials must act in accordance with the law, which is also a fact that has been repeatedly stated in the official newspapers.

Many people agree with Lu Zhe's attitude towards the sanctity of the law, and some people do not dare to oppose it, but they also feel that they do not think so, and even think that they do not know how to be flexible, which leads to many things that have set up obstacles for themselves. But I have to admit that it is precisely because of personal attitudes or emotions that the Empire can reduce panic because of the lack of personal attitudes or emotions against certain people, but in some ways it also creates obstacles for many people.

"Whether you are guilty or not, whether you have committed something or not, it is not up to you and me to have the final say." Zang Di no longer glanced at Han Guang, and made a straight face: "There are provisions in the law that in special events and special times, any member of the empire is obliged to cooperate with the official investigation of certain matters, the shortest period is twenty-four hours, and the longest period is seventy-two hours. Now, as he said ......, he took out an instruction that he didn't know what was written, raised it to publicize it, and then continued: "Do you cooperate a little, or do you ......", the expression on his face became more and more solemn. (To be continued......)
