Zhong Yu: The first person in the Western Han Dynasty to fight against organized crime and violence
Taiyuan was the sphere of influence of Emperor Wen's uncle Bo Zhao.
Bo Zhao served as an official in the capital and let his nephew Bo Gui take care of Taiyuan Province.
Bo Gui did no evil and did nothing, which made the whole Taiyuan Province chicken and dog restless.
Emperor Wen wanted to send someone to Taiyuan Province to rectify local social order, and consulted with Zhang Cang, the chancellor, and asked, "Who should be sent to Taiyuan Province to take on this great task?" ”
Zhang Cang did not answer this question immediately!
Emperor Wen said, "Does no one dare to go?" ”
Zhang Cang said: "The problem in Taiyuan Province is not in Taiyuan Province, but in The Capital. ”
Emperor Wen deliberately asked, "Can the Prime Minister explain something clear?" ”
Zhang Cang said, "The emperor understands in his heart, and there is no need for me to explain!" ”
Emperor Wen smiled and said, "Even the chancellor is afraid to talk about the problem of Taiyuan Province?" ”
Zhang Cang said, "I'm not afraid! I was worried that something was wrong, and it would affect the emperor! ”
Emperor Wen said, "There is no need to worry about this problem, I have my own ways and means to deal with it." The prime minister only needs to tell me who is suitable to send to Taiyuan! ”
Zhang Cang said: "In dealing with the problem of local public security in Taiyuan, the old bureaucrats have a wide range of relations and a big face, but it is useless to go!" ”
Emperor Wen asked, "Why is it useless for the old bureaucrats to go?" ”
Zhang Cang said: "The old bureaucrats do not open the face of Empress Bo, and when dealing with specific problems, they often look at Empress Bo's attitude! ”
Emperor Wen asked, "Then what to do?" ”
Zhang Cang said, "Send a younger official!" This official must have courage, integrity, no fear of threats, and not much relationship to take care of. However, such a person will go without the support of the emperor and will achieve nothing! ”
Emperor Wen asked, "If you have a suitable candidate in mind, please tell me who this person is?" ”
Zhang Cang said, "This person is Zhong Yu!" He is a young man who can do practical things! ”
Emperor Wen said, "Can you bring him to meet me?" I'm going to talk to him personally and find out what he really thinks! ”
Zhang Cang said, "Yes! Tomorrow morning, I asked Zhong Yu to meet with the emperor. ”
Zhong Yu is nearly thirty years old, is a follower of The Imperial Master, and has a beautiful wife in the family and a child who does not understand the world.
Zhong Yu's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, his literary quality is polite, and he is a typical portrait of a scholar. Meet Emperor Wen, fall generously!
Emperor Wen was a little uneasy when he saw it, could such a bookish and angry person rectify the bully forces in Taiyuan Province?
Emperor Wen went straight to the point and asked, "Do you dare to go to Taiyuan Province to rectify social order?" ”
Zhong Yu said: "As long as the imperial court lets me go, there is no question of whether I dare to go or not!" ”
Emperor Wen asked again: "The social relations in Taiyuan Province are complicated, and if you don't get it right, they will put you in!" ”
Zhong Yu said, "What's so terrible about putting me in?" I have the emperor behind me, that is, I put it in, and I am willing! ”
Emperor Wen asked again, "Don't you have any worries?" ”
Zhong Yu said: "People have no far-sighted worries, they will have near-term worries!" Since you want to be an official, you must have responsibility! ”
Emperor Wen said, "Then you will go to Taiyuan tomorrow!" ”
Zhong Yu arrived at Taiyuan Province, and after more than a month of investigation, it was finally determined that the most evil person was Bo Gui, the housekeeper of Taiyuan Province.
How to deal with thin and expensive?
The official who went with him reminded Zhong Yu: "The reason why Bo Gui dared to do many evil deeds in Taiyuan Province was that there was an uncle Bo Zhao behind his back. The reason why Bo Zhao dared to condone Bo Gui was that there was a Bo Empress behind him. Empress Bo, even the emperor let her three points! In that year, the emperor wanted to execute Zhou Bo, and Zhou Bo found Bo Zhao, and Bo Zhao found Empress Bo. In the end, Empress Bo intervened, and Zhou Bo left his life. Now that you want to execute Bo Zhao's housekeeper and nephew, will Bo Zhao let you go? ”
Someone also reminded Zhong Yu: "You have to weigh it well, can you fight Bo Zhao?" ”
Zhong Yu was a little hesitant!
Someone saw Zhong Yu hesitate and continued: "We can go back to the imperial court to report to the emperor, how to deal with it is the emperor's business!" ”
Zhong Yu came up!
Zhong Yu said: "If the case is reported to the emperor, this case will be closed!" ”
The official who went with him said, "That's a matter for the imperial court, and we can't take care of it!" ”
Zhong Yu said, "Since the emperor sent me to Taiyuan as an errand boy, I should do this job well." One does not do, two do not stop. I believe that justice should be upheld, handled according to law, eliminated harm for the people, ensured the peace of the party, and executed Bo Gui! ”
Before Zhong Yu could finish speaking, the faces of the officials who went with him were frightened! He stammered, "Zhong Yu, you don't want to die?" ”
Zhong Yu said, "Take my life and exchange it for the peace of the people, I don't care!" You can act as if you don't know, what is going on, I am alone! ”
Someone kindly reminded Zhong Yu: "Can you afford it alone?" Behind you are your family, your wife, your children. You're dead, what do they do? ”
Zhong Yu said: "After thinking about it, I can't handle the case!" ”
Zhong Yu executed Bo Gui on the same day!
Zhong Yu had not yet returned to the imperial court, and the news of Zhong Yu's execution of Bo Gui spread throughout the capital!
Uncle Bo Zhao was so angry that he went around the room in circles!
Uncle Guo stopped and said to Jia Ding, "This time, I must let Zhong Yu wear Ma Dai Xiao for Bo Gui, and then cut Zhong Yu's corpse into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Empress Bo learned that Zhong Yu had executed her nephew, and found Emperor Wen and said, "After Zhong Yu returns to the imperial court, you will hand this guy over to me!" ”
Zhang Cang found Emperor Wen and said, "This time Zhong Yu has run into a big disaster, and the emperor should uphold justice for Zhong Yu!" ”
Zhong Yu's wife knew and cried all day!
The poor people of the capital knew this, and they said, "The imperial court just needs an official like Zhong Yu!" This is the official who supports my poor people! ”
When Zhang Cang learned that Zhong Yu was about to return to the capital, he went to see the emperor again and said to the emperor, "Zhong Yu is about to return to the capital, how should we prevent what should not happen!" ”
Emperor Wen said, "Zhong Yu returned to the capital, what is all the fuss about?" Tomorrow, zhong yu will be greeted with great fanfare at the reception desk, so as to deter those officials who have no law! ”
Emperor Wen saw Zhang Cang's surprised look and said, "Isn't it appropriate?" Don't be afraid! What's so scary about that? The more you are afraid, the more things you have! Tomorrow you will inform Bo Zhao to also go to the reception desk to meet Zhong Yu! ”
Zhang Cang said, "Bo Zhao also wants to inform him to go?" ”
Emperor Wen said, "Of course, Bo Zhao should be informed!" The one who should greet Zhong Yu the most is Bo Zhao, let him be careful, don't think of himself as the uncle of the country, there are still people in the capital who are not afraid of his uncle! ”
Zhang Cang stood motionless in the same place, trembling and asking, "What if Bo Zhao stabs Zhong Yu to death on the spot?" ”
Emperor Wen said, "Is Bo Zhao so bold?" ”
Zhang Cang said, "For the sake of prudence, it is better to let Bo Zhao avoid it!" ”
Emperor Wen said, "Bo Zhao can't be allowed to avoid it!" Let Bo Zhao avoid it, and the effect of our punishment of local bully forces will be reduced! I just want Bo Zhao to see, what is the end of the rampage!?
Zhang Cang still stood still!
Emperor Wen said, "If you do just this little thing, you are afraid!" Let's go, let Bo Zhao go to the official platform to greet Zhong Yu! Not only did they have to inform Bo Zhao to go, but all the elders and important officials in the imperial court had to go to the official platform to greet Zhong Yu! ”
Around the reception desk, the flow of people surged.
There were court officials, but also Zhong Yu's family.
People talked a lot, some praised Zhong Yu for being upright and not afraid of being strong; some people worried about Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu's wife was crowded in the crowd and uneasy, watching the discussion of the court officials, while looking at the far side of the road, hoping that her husband would return safely!
Bo Zhao and other senior ministers were also anxiously waiting for Zhong Yu's arrival!
When the sun was at its peak, Zhong Yu's carriage raised a high dust and came to the official platform outside the capital gate.
Zhong Yu saw Bo Zhao and showed Him the situation in Taiyuan.
Bo Zhao, believing himself to be his uncle, ordered Zhong Yu to be tied up and returned to the palace. He also ordered the crowd around the reception desk to greet Zhong Yu.
Bo Zhao threatened Zhong Yu to confess his guilt and to clothe his nephew Bo Gui with ma dai filial piety.
Zhong Yu argued according to reason, and did not give in, Bo Zhao became angry and embarrassed, and wielded a treasure sword to cut Zhong Yu in front of the hall.
Mrs. Zhong heard the news and did not want to die, wrote a suicide note, and abandoned her child to commit suicide.
Zhang Cang hugged Zhong Yu's orphan to the court and appealed for Zhong Yu!
In order to implement the new policy, Emperor Wen ordered Bo Zhaowumen to be beheaded.
The ministers of culture and military affairs of the imperial court knelt down one after another and interceded for Bo Zhao! Emperor Wen was embarrassed, killing Bo Zhao was not, not killing Bo Zhao was not!
