Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 166 As long as I have no morals (thanks to the leader of Gsshen)
"When Zhang Ao rebelled, the late emperor ordered him to be escorted to Chang'an Pass and Tingwei's prison."

"Someone suddenly found me later, and said that there was a woman among the crowd, who was favored by Your Majesty first, and was pregnant. I dared not despise it, and I immediately found the first emperor and reported this matter."

"But the first emperor said that I don't need to care about people who have never favored people outside the palace."

"It wasn't until the jailer brought the child in front of me that the child looked exactly like the late emperor. When I took the child to the late emperor, the late emperor was shocked, and then I remembered that I once favored a woman in Zhaodi. It's a pity that she He has a fiery and irritable character, and committed suicide in anger because the late emperor did not save him."

Scrutiny said it seriously.

Liu Chang's face was very calm, he looked at Shen Shiqi in front of him seriously, and said, "I know why you came to me suddenly."

"I just want to tell the truth to the king, so as not to be separated by traitors and cause misunderstanding between the queen mother and the king."

Liu Chang grinned, "What did my mother do to me, did I see my clothes the most clearly? The mother made it for me!"

"As for you. You don't look smart either."

"You know that I am young and powerful, and I am afraid that when my grandmother is not around, I will take revenge on you. Therefore, if you want to find me with a look for my grandmother, you just want to use my grandma to press me and let me I'll make a statement in front of my mother, and I won't do anything to you anymore, right?"

Shen Shi's face changed greatly, and he defended: "My minister is loyal to the queen mother, and it is not for myself that I came to the king!"

"Mother! He's showing his loyalty to you! Come out and reward him!"

Liu grows up exclaimed.

Empress Lv suddenly walked out of the inner room, her expression was grim, and she didn't know what to think. Seeing Empress Lv like this, she tried to pay homage to her three times, and her words were choked, "Empress Dowager, I really came here for the empress dowager. Not for myself!"

Liu Chang raised his head and laughed, "It's no wonder that Father believes in you and can do errands without being a fool like you, get out! Let me meet you in the Jiaofang Hall next time, look at me. Don't pull out your beard!"

Liu Chang kicked over the slips in front of him and shouted fiercely.

Shen Shiqi looked at Empress Lu, but Empress Lu did not speak to discourage them, but just looked at them coldly.

Shen Shiqi left quickly, and Liu Chang said to Empress Lu: "Mother, this person seems to be loyal to you, but he has no ability, and his loyalty is only in his mouth, not like Luan Bu's ability. The person who died for the Lord. Don't get too close to this person in the future!"

Empress Lu glanced at Liu Chang, and Liu Bang's evaluation of this person quickly emerged in her mind. She asked suspiciously, "Did your grandfather tell you that?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Your words are exactly the same as your grandfather."

"Ah? Hahaha, that's natural. I, Chang Liu, have always been able to know people, so I can tell you that when I look at them, mother, let me tell you that. Among my friends, Zhou Yafu's future achievements are the highest, do you believe it? Even my father is far inferior to my ability to know people and employ people! My father always said that Ruyi is like him, but I don’t know, in terms of employing people, my father is like me!”

Empress Lu ignored the brat, and asked with a sneer, "Then who do you think can be the prime minister after Cao Can?"

"It's okay to feed the baby."

"How about Wang Ling?"

"Wang Ling has the ability, but he is too upright and too old-fashioned. In the current situation, if Wang Ling is the prime minister, it will definitely cause more conflicts, and this person wants to manage everything and is not greedy for power. With Guan Ying as the prime minister, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo will be the assistants. The power of the prime minister will be divided into three parts, and the captain will let Xiahou Ying do it. The position of the captain is very important."

"Zhou Bo has his own mind, but Xia Houying is a person who only obeys the orders of the lord, and he will ignore it at other times."

"Chen Ping is vicious, but he is loyal to the Son of Heaven. Although he won't say so in the open, but secretly, if someone opposes the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not let it go."

"There is also Xuanyi, this person can actually be a censor doctor. Although he is bad, the temple needs such a censor to sit in. Shusun Tong seems to be strong, but he can only maintain the harmony of the ministers on the surface. Xuanyi, that will be really hands-on, Shusuntong is the doctor of the censor, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, if Xuanyi comes, he will kill people without thunder."

After listening to Liu Chang's comment, Empress Lu's expression was also momentarily dazed.

"Is this what Gai Gong taught you?"

"Is this still worth teaching? My friends are all over the world, and I have met all kinds of people, from the three males to the merchants and pawns. The more people I see, the more they will understand, so I thought, in fact, Mom should let my brother go out more, meet different people more, stay in the palace all the time, he will rule the country!"

Empress Lu was thoughtful.

Liu Chang grinned and asked, "Mom, are you particularly shocked? Do you admire me? Do you think I am your best and most powerful son?"

Lu Houli ignored him.

"Mum. Can you reward me with a little money? It costs a lot of money for me to do the mansion. If I don't have any money on me, you can give me some."

"Aren't all the items placed in your mansion all the items of the Hou's mansion? You still spent money?"

"Transportation fee! I can't ask for it for nothing. People are kind enough to move it for me, so I have to spend some money!"

"No money."

"I don't care, give me money! Give me money! I won't go to study if you don't give me!"

Empress Lu nodded, knowing what to do in her heart. She leaned over and picked up a wooden stick from the side. At that moment, Liu Chang quickly escaped from the Jiaofang Hall.

In the Tianlu Pavilion, Gai Zheng was seriously talking about the affairs of various countries.

"In the state of Chu, the king of Chu is benevolent, righteous and eager to learn. All the sages and talents from all over the country came to assist him, and all the officials in his country were well-educated people. The state of Chu arose because of this. , has the potential to replace Qi."

"The state of Qi, the king of Qi is a generous person, and he is light and light. The state of Qi was already rich, and now it is even more prosperous."

"Husband Zhao, King Zhao listened to the counselor's words, opened mountains and people, opened water and people, and used domestic officials to build roads. The country is broken, and it will take a long time to recover."

"Husband Liang Guo, Liang Wang is a gentle person, and his ministers love him a lot. He often helps the people in the country."

"Husband Korea, the king of Han is diligent and thrifty. After taking office, he never built a palace, scattered his wealth, opened the Quartet road, encouraged agriculture, reduced or exempted business taxes, built many post stations for businessmen to rest, and pardoned the country. Li Chen, make it reclaimed, set up many docks along the water, and rely on the advantages of South Korea, in a short period of time, the Korean people will be rich, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.”

Liu Chang was a little puzzled, "Master, you don't go out on weekdays, how do you know the situation in each country?"

"My disciples, all over the place, often write to me."

"What about my country Tang?"

Liu Chang asked excitedly.

Gai Gong squinted his eyes, "Husband Tang, the king of Tang is tyrannical and rude, the country is lustful, most of the generals have different views, the people are arrogant, outsiders come, and they are often bullied. The people and Shangdang Yunzhong are grazing in the land, there are many Hu people, and the customs are different from those in the Central Plains.

"The people in the country want to fight to gain military exploits, and they have the intention of despising the countries. The wise people go, and the traitors will be caught and forced to do things."

"Move the people's strength, build roads, boil water, build post stations, reinforce the Great Wall, train war horses, set up iron mines, force the people to farm, and punish them if they don't.

Liu Chang was stunned, he said angrily: "This is slander!!"

"It's all said by people who have never really been to Tang country. If they went to Tang country to really see it, they wouldn't say such things!"

"It's true. If you go to Tang country, you can't come out again. Naturally, you can't say such a thing."

Liu Chang's face darkened, "Master, my Tang country's reputation is actually so bad?"

"No, I have to find a way to clear up the rumors, what can Master do?"

Gai Gong asked angrily: "Why is this, don't you know in your heart? I taught you with Huang Lao, why do you want to govern the country in this way?"

"What I use is the way of Huang Lao. I recuperate at home, reduce taxes and taxes, and do not use corvée easily."

"Fart! You have the most corvée in Tang country!"

"My corvée are all paid! In the spare time of farming, let the people do something. After the work is done, distribute the land, food, and even give the title back to the title. Master, my Tang people are poor. If they don’t have enough food and clothing, they will starve to death if they don’t do this. I will also find something for them to do so that they will not starve to death! Isn’t our elder Huang just saying that we want to bring peace to the people.”

"Then you encourage the people in the country to go out to kill the Huns, exchange a head for a title, and encourage the burning of the farmland of the Hu people. What does this mean?"

"My Tang country is suffering. There are strong enemies everywhere. If you don't do this, people will loot every day, and the people will be killed and injured countless times. Isn't that what Huang Lao means to protect the people."

"Then what do you mean by forcing the people to go to the mines and work day and night?"

"Those were all the captured Huns, as well as the Hu people who had attached themselves to the Huns, and other people of the Tang state, they were paid, and they earned more food than they could get from farming. They were eager to go to the mines. We Huang Lao Isn't that what it means to benefit the people?"

"I am a master who runs the country according to Huang Lao's thoughts, how can I say that?"

Gai Gong took a deep breath and calmed down. He said seriously: "You must remember the lesson of Qin's demise! It is not necessary for a strong country to be strong, the most important thing is the people, you should follow the example of Chu Qi and Zhao. Han can't do this anymore!"

"Master, don't worry! I, Tang Kingdom, have fully learned the lessons of Qin Kingdom's demise. I have already ordered it. It's late, don't be executed!!"

Gai Gong clenched his fists, "Long. Let's go out and practice swords."

"Cough, in this big winter, the master is very old, so let's wait a little warmer."

"It doesn't matter to me. Let's practice in Tianlu Pavilion today."

"Master, I was riding a horse a while ago and fell and was injured. I can't hold the sword in my hand. Let me get better."

Liu Chang quickly fled the palace, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be beaten.

The theory of Huang-Lao is of course good, but Liu Chang's strategy for governing the country is not limited to the theory of Huang-Lao. The old road, not the Confucian road, not the Legalist road, anyway, no one knows what the road is.

There are disciples of Huang Lao, Confucian disciples, and even a large number of Legalist disciples in the Tang Dynasty. As for why Zhang Cang, a great Confucian, could invite Legalists to participate in the great cause of governing Tang, then you have to ask him two. a brother.

Since the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the status of the Legalists has not been as good as before.

But Tang Guo was not like this. Zhang Cang was very polite to the Legalists. He invited a great sage of the Legalists, called Zheng Jun.This man had followed Xiang Yu and later surrendered to Liu Bang. Liu Bang had ordered all Xiang Yu's old subordinates to call Xiang Yu by his first name when referring to Xiang Yu.

Because of being different and not gregarious, Tang country has a very bad reputation in the hearts of scholars and officials in various countries, but the people don't think so.

When Liu Chang left the palace, it was naturally Ji Bu who came to greet him.

Liu Changhu was thinking about the two great friends who were in Tingwei's prison.

"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Xiongnu has come here to negotiate peace, and he has also brought a letter from Mordun, which is written to you."

Ji Bu said, and Liu Chang was taken aback, "The Huns are coming to negotiate peace?"

"Yes, all the ministers are very happy. I think this is a good opportunity."

"What about the letters?"

"At the messenger's place."

"Hurry up and bring it to me!"

"only!"

Liu Chang sat in the Tang Palace, looking at the reply letter in his hand.

"The great order established by the heavens is addressed to the king of Tang, the king of the Han state. I respectfully ask you to be safe? My chief and Pingye know the etiquette. I try to ask for advice and the great sages of China. I think I am happy. I mean, because of the disputes between the two countries, it is not a blessing for the people, but the king is rude and humiliated with books, so the two countries go to war, and there are many casualties."

"Since the king is the lord of the country, he doesn't think about peace with the people, so he started a war for no reason and caused the two countries to become evil. It is really inappropriate."

"Your Majesty is a virtuous monarch, and it is really inappropriate to insult foreign monarchs with humble words."

"I heard that the king's father passed away early and he was never taught. I would like to teach him instead. I hope that the king will put the people first, think of the people of the two countries, and don't start the war lightly. When the war comes together, the corpses are scattered everywhere, all of which are the fault of the king!"

"Today I would like to reconcile with China. I have a daughter who is the same age as the king. She can be the wife of the king and can be treated with respect by the son-in-law!"

Liu Chang hurriedly finished reading, raised his head, looked at Ji Bu, Ji Bu looked cautious, he said, "Your Majesty, Mo Dun's intentions are sinister!"

"Yes, he said he would marry his daughter to me."

Ji Bu was taken aback for a moment, before he said: "This is not what the minister said!"

"Ah? Why is that? He fights so fiercely, how can he write a letter to Zou Zou, it's a headache just looking at it!"

Ji Bu frowned and said solemnly: "He wants to put all the charges of the war on you. I think the purpose of this messenger's visit is not just for peace talks, but for the king. The king took in Yuezhi, and often sent people to loot outside the Great Wall. He heard that Ding Ling was in trouble, and now he is sending people to negotiate peace, and he is definitely not trying to make peace with Dahan, he is here to block the king!"

Liu Chang frowned and pondered for a moment, "Put the charge of the war on me?"

"Yes, he wants to put the cause of the previous war between the two countries on the king. In the previous war, several counties were destroyed. Although they were defeated, they also paid a lot of price."

"Ah? We won, what kind of sin is this?"

"I'm afraid the ministers will not think so. They have always criticized the king. Now, Modun has given them a reason. This is to bind you with the people in the country, so that you can no longer deal with the Xiongnu."

Liu Chang suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahaha, bind me? Someone, get a pen, I want to reply to Mo Dun!"

Ji Bu's face changed greatly, "Your Majesty, no, let's see what Your Majesty means first, and wait for the messenger to leave."

"What are you afraid of! Get a pen! I'm never afraid of what others say about me, what I like to say, but I don't dare to say it in person, get my pen!"

Ji Bu stood beside Liu Chang helplessly, shook his head, and watched Liu Chang write. The king's writing was not very good, and he had to help him to polish it later, Ji Bu reminded again: "Your Majesty, although the letters in Morton's letter are rude , but you can't write too much."

"I see!"

Ji Bu watched Liu Chang write quickly.

"The old bastard who entered your mother's Tang Wangzhi into the dog, your mother is safe? Nai Gongfei gave you what you lost."

Ji Bu's eyes turned dark, and his heart was full of despair.

In the Jiaofang Hall, Liu Ying was discussing this matter with the ministers.

"It's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing. The big man needs time to develop and live in harmony with the Huns. This is harmless to the big man!"

Shusun Tong was the first to speak. He was not a peacemaker, but he felt that the peacemaking was the most correct at this moment. Many ministers thought so. The big man fought against the Xiongnu just to fight back. Is the big Han still coveting you and the Xiongnu? Desolate land?There is no benefit to fighting, so it is better not to fight.

The generals bowed their heads and did not speak.

Liu Ying looked at Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo pondered for a moment, and said, "You should see the messenger first, and then make a decision."

Liu Ying nodded and ordered the Huns to come.The Hun envoy who came was the one who came last time. He respected Liu Ying very respectfully. His attitude was completely different from last time. When he came last time, he was very rude. Zeng raised his head and looked directly at Liu Ying, which made the minister extremely angry.

Seeing him like this, Shusun Tong asked coldly, "The messenger is shy first and then respectful, why is this?"

The messenger replied earnestly: "The last time I came to negotiate peace, it was just because I didn't understand the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, which made the princes misunderstood, and the two sides started a war. This time, before I came, Da Chanyu asked me to learn the etiquette of the Han Dynasty , told me again and again not to be rude to the princes."

Hearing this sentence, everyone's faces softened slightly.

The messenger then said: "I am here to negotiate peace, the Han and the Huns are brothers, and I have long admired His Majesty the Han and wanted to come to see each other many times. Come see me."

"Da Chanyu has never thought of opposing the big Han. His previous letter was to be friends with His Majesty. However, the big Han misinterpreted the meaning, and the king of Tang even wrote to insult my lord because of this, so he started a war. After the war, my lord felt remorse and sent me here."

"My Xiongnu has never had the idea of ​​opposing the big Han. Before, there were thieves and bandits who robbed the big man, and my lord was trying his best to hunt him down. Why did the big man write a letter to insult my lord? The king of Tang even sent people to rob and kill my son of the Xiongnu. The people, burning the fields, and the Huns fighting against the Yuezhi, originally had nothing to do with the Han.”

"But King Tang colluded with Yuezhi, sent them weapons and food, and took in their people as cavalry to kill our people."

"My lord knows that King Tang is young and doesn't care about him. My lord is magnanimous and loves King Tang's filial piety. My lord has a daughter who is about the same age as King Tang, so I want to send my daughter to Tang State and marry him. From then on The two countries get along with family affection, regardless of you and me, cultivate soldiers, feed horses, eliminate unpleasant things in the past, restore old treaties, so that the people on the frontier can be peaceful, and conform to the friendly relations between the Huns and the Han people since ancient times."

"Enable young people to grow up, old people to live in peace, and peace and happiness from generation to generation."

"However, Your Majesty can ask King Tang to dismiss the Yuezhi people in the country, stop participating in the war between the Huns and Yuezhi, and restrain King Tang so that he will no longer send people to rob my people of the Huns."

At that moment, Chen Ping squinted his eyes and instantly understood Mo Dun's plan.

"Okay! If we can live in harmony."

Liu Ying stood up happily and was about to speak, but Chen Ping interrupted him directly, "Your Majesty, this matter should be discussed with the ministers."

ps: Thanks to the leader of the big brother Gsshen, thank you very much!
