Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 252 Not like a father!
"Hahaha, come on, my good son!"

Liu Chang smiled and pinched Liu An's face, Liu An's chubby face was pinched into various shapes by his father, Liu An was not angry, just looked at his father with a smirk, and let his father take his Playing with her face like a dough, Cao Shu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you are strong, take it easy, don't hurt An!"

"Look at how fun this stubble is!"

"You have to give birth to the widow."

To a certain king, having children is meaningless if it is not for fun.

Cao Shu helplessly looked at the two daggers. After Liu Chang came back, their family entered the Hall of Houde. An could be regarded as enjoying the "love" from his grandfather. Liu Chang couldn't put it down and held him in the hall all day long. Playing with the hands, that is, the Queen Mother did not see this scene, otherwise, Emperor Gao would definitely sing again.

Liu An said with a smile: "Father! I have already started studying!"

"I can write my name!"

Seeing her son showing off, Cao Shu smiled softly, "My family is so nice, you have to study hard."

Liu Chang waved his hand, "What kind of books are you reading? When the widow was your age, the palace had already begun to be demolished. If you want to read, sometimes it's time. Now, just go around and play!"

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Shu interrupted him displeasedly, "How can there be a father who teaches children like this?!"

Liu Changman didn't care, "This is my son, do you still want to be a doctor of classics? An, listen to me, now is your time to play, what kind of books do you read! I hate reading the most, it's meaningless. "

Liu An looked at his father blankly, and said timidly, "Mother will be angry."

"No, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to be beaten!"

"Go! The widow will take you to play!"

Liu Chang suddenly lifted Liu An up and let him ride on his shoulders. Liu An laughed loudly, and Liu Chang carried him out of the Hall of Houde. Cao Shu just shook his head and did not dissuade him.When little Liu Bang carried the big Liu Chang into the palace, the attendants were extremely frightened and hurriedly went to pay homage to meet him.

"An, I can't always accompany you, because I have big things to do, you know, I have to go in to resist foreign enemies and protect my country!"

"You have to be a man who stands above the ground, protect your eldest mother, protect your grandmother, and have no fear. Whoever dares to bully you, you will smash his head!"

"Don't bully people younger than you, don't bully those who are older. But if they come to bully you, don't be shy!"

"Your grandfather is the bravest man in the world, you don't have to be afraid of anyone!"

Liu Chang said proudly, but Xiao Liu An just laughed.

"Come on, Dad will make you some toys!"

On a whim, Chang Liu asked people to bring tools. In the familiar pavilion, he got some wood and began to work. Liu An sat beside him in surprise and looked at his father seriously. Soon, Chang Liu did it. A simple wooden sword came out, "Hahaha, take it, this is your sword!"

Liu An's eyes shone with light, and he waved his wooden sword excitedly.

"Thank you dad!!"

"Hahaha."

Liu Chang looked at him with a smile on his face.

After playing for a while, Liu An picked up the pieces of wood on the ground and fiddled around.

Liu Chang looked at him curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Father broke this pavilion. I'm afraid that others won't know and will fall from here and put it up like this, so no one will get hurt."

Looking at the serious Liu An in front of him, Elder Liu blushed, then cleared his throat, "Yes, I'm here to test you, and sure enough, it's my son!"

In the following days, Liu Chang accompanied Liu An to play in the palace. The two of them went to many places. Liu An rode on his father's shoulder with a smile on his face. The most similar father and son were probably That smirk was like two big fools. As for what Liu Chang and the Queen Mother said that day, no one knew, and they didn't dare to ask.

Cao Shu and Liu Chang were eating, and Liu An was sitting not far away, writing something with a pen.

"Father!"

"Ok?"

"On the day A and B, how do you write the 狞 character of the emperor Taihao?"

Liu Chang was angry, "You don't even know this, you still read all day!" He took the pen angrily, pondered for a moment, "Ask your mother!", and then he threw the pen to the Cao Shu, Cao Shu rolled his eyes at him, and then taught Liu An, Liu Chang stroked his beard, and when Liu An jumped out to find some cousins ​​to play with, Liu Chang said with emotion: "Mother Teach my son bad!"

"The teaching is broken? An is well-behaved and sensible, and likes to read. His cousin can't even write his name until now, but An has already studied with a famous teacher. How can it be said that the teaching is broken?"

"It's so cute"

"Isn't it okay to be nice?"

"Hard to say."

Liu Chang shook his head.

Cao Shu was silent for a moment, before asking: "The day the king came back, what did my mother say to you in the Jiaofang Palace?"

"Oh, she praised me as a generation of virtuous kings. Having a son like me is her greatest blessing."

Cao Shu couldn't help laughing, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."

Liu Chang looked around and said in a low voice, "Actually, my mother wants me to be the emperor's younger brother."

Cao Shu nodded, "What did the king say?"

"My mother is so old, what else can I do? If she is a few years younger, I can still have a big quarrel with her and go directly to Jinyang. I promised her."

"Your Majesty. Are you going to be an emperor?"

"No, you're looking forward to my second brother's death, aren't you?!"

Cao Shu's face changed greatly, "I didn't mean that."

"Okay, what are you afraid of?" Liu Chang shook his head and said seriously: "Second brother is still young, and my mother is very strong. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe I will leave earlier than them, promise. It’s okay, it’s not that you will be enthroned as emperor tomorrow!”

Cao Shu looked worried, she whispered, "Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter."

"I know that it is not trivial to blame the widow for being so good. The whole country hopes that I can become the emperor. How can the widow be so wise!"

"However, it's okay, even if I inherit the throne one day, I will hand over state affairs to the ministers as before, and I will travel around the mountains to play and chop the Xiongnu. Anyway, I am not suitable to sit in the Xuan chamber. in the temple."

Cao Shu didn't say much on this topic. She knew the character of her beloved, and she was stubborn and stubborn. She didn't expect that this time, Liu Chang had changed his mind so quickly, but Liu Chang blinked again. With a smile on his eyes, he said, "I am a person who values ​​promises the most. After seeing the widow's promise, my mother is very relieved!"

Cao Shu suddenly felt that this matter became unreliable again. If one day his mother was really gone, would he really keep his promise?
Liu Chang didn't seem to care about this at all, he waved his hand and said, "It's been a few days since the widow came to Chang'an, and I haven't been back to my mansion yet, so you stay with my mother in the palace, and the widow will go back and see! "

Liu Chang left the palace, Feng Jing and Tai Pu were busy with their own affairs at the moment, Feng Jing went to see Chen Ping, Tai servant went to see Xia Houying, Liu Chang soon returned to his Tang palace , However, at this moment Qunxian can't come to see him, Qunxian is either studying or holding an official position, not as free and loose as before.

The Tang Dynasty's mansion was quiet, there was no liveliness and noise at the beginning, and several soldiers were guarding the door. Liu Chang looked at the empty mansion, but his heart was mixed.

At that moment, he seemed to feel the feeling of Fan Kuai at the beginning. Fan Kuai once saw that when he was hooking up with them, he excitedly instructed them to get along well. Maybe, at that time, he was also looking at the empty mansion, Remember the good old days.

Liu Changzheng sighed in the house, but suddenly there was a noise outside the door, which made Liu Chang very unhappy, and called Jia Shi, "What happened?"

"Someone has come, and I have to meet the king."

"Let him in!"

Soon, a serious scribe walked in. The scribe was not young and had a serious appearance. Liu Changjie did not like such people. Such people are generally very difficult to deal with and like to say some great truths. Chang looked at him proudly and asked, "Who are you?!"

"My minister Zhang Hui, pay tribute to the king."

"Zhang Hui?"

Liu Chang frowned, and then suddenly realized, "It's Chao Cuo's master! The widow has heard of you, and Zhang Xiang wrote many times before asking you to come to Tang, but you are unwilling, but now you come to see you, what is this? Makes sense?!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is unwilling, it's because the Queen Mother ordered the minister to go to Taixue, but the minister dared not come."

"Oh, it's too learned."

"Then Zhang Jun is not staying in Taixue, why did you come to me again?"

"I have offended the Queen Mother and have been expelled from the Taixue."

"Hahaha!"

"It's not good to offend anyone, you have to offend your mother. Come here."

Liu Chang pulled him to his side, and turned around in the Tang palace, he said as he walked, "The widow heard your name a long time ago, and they all said that you are a great sage of the Fa family, why do you still learn from Huang Lao? What about seclusion? You have learned so much knowledge, but you stay at home and waste your time without serving the country. Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, back then, Marquis Huaiyin had the ability to run the army, but no one appreciated him, but he could only be a small official by Xiang Ji's side. Marquis Liu had intelligence, but no one appreciated him, but he could only be an assassin."

Liu Chang glanced at him in surprise, "What talent do you have to be able to live as Marquis Liu of Huaiyin?"

"I don't have the talent of the Marquis of Huaiyin and Liuhou, but the Great King has the sagacity of Emperor Gao!"

"In the hands of stupid people who don't know horses, a thousand-mile horse is only as good as a middle-horse horse, but a middle-horse horse can be compared to a thousand-mile horse in the hands of a hero with superb physiognomy."

"In the hands of a wise monarch like the Great King, how can this minister worry that he will not be able to achieve the feats of Hou Liu Hou of Huaiyin?"

Compared to Chao Cuo's little Fajia licking dog who only called Wang Yingming, his teacher's skills are obviously better. In a few words, Liu Chang's smile is all over his face, and his heart is extremely comfortable. He is proud of it. He said: "You are right, the widow is in the country, and you should pay attention to it!"

"Shuofang is poor, so all the people will be moved to Shuofang. If the Five Plains are dangerous, the Great Wall will be built to resist."

"No country in the world is as dedicated as a few people!"

Liu Chang skillfully entered the self-bragging mode, and Zhang Hui did not interrupt.

"I've heard that for the masters of the people, one knows clumsiness and skill without taking care of one's own affairs, and knows good fortune and blame without taking care of one's own concerns. Now it seems that there is no one who is good at governing the country like a great king!"

Liu Changchun was overjoyed, raised his head, and continued to talk with Zhang Hui. The two chatted for a long time before Liu Chang asked, "I think Mr. Zhang is also a talented sage. My mother likes Han Zi very much. Shu, how could you offend her?"

"The queen mother called the sages of Taixue to ask about Song Xuangong's younger brother."

Zhang Hui slowly talked about the reason.

The queen mother wants to make Liu Chang the emperor's younger brother, of course, there must be a basis, so let everyone come to argue for her, make a reasonable explanation for her behavior, or find a precedent , used as the "legality" of Liu Chang's future succession to the throne.

The sages at that time were very frightened. Although the queen mother did not say it clearly, as soon as Liu Chang came back, the queen mother came to ask about Song Xuangong and Song Mugong. Song Xuangong thought that his children were incompetent before he died, and said: After the death of the father, the son succeeds the throne, and after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother succeeds the throne. This is the general meaning of the world.I want to pass the throne to my younger brother Gongzihe.

Why did the queen mother ask this?Daxian is not stupid, he immediately understood the thoughts of the queen mother.

Uncle Fu Qiu immediately got up and told the Queen Mother: When Duke Xuan of Song died, the children were still young, so it was a moral act to pass on his position to his younger brother, and Duke Mu of Song later passed his position to Youzi, which was a repayment acts of kindness.

Compared with Uncle Fu Qiu's positivity, the rest of the sages seemed very uneasy. They did not dare to oppose the Queen Mother openly. They just put things on Song Xuangong's body. Taking Song's demise as an example, they persuaded the Queen Mother to give up this crazy idea. .

Brothers and brothers and this matter are also the traditions of the old Song Dynasty.

Zhang Hui told Liu Chang about the fierce debate scene. His eloquence was very good. After a few words, Liu Chang vaguely saw the fierce debate. The crowd was divided into two groups, crazy examples, various Allusions emerge one after another, attacking each other
Liu Changguang was a little excited when he heard it, "Aiya! It would be great if the widow was here, the widow likes to watch other people fight!"

"What about you? You also participated in this debate? Why did you offend the Queen Mother?"

Zhang Hui looked at Liu Chang seriously, "The minister refuted a few words, and the queen mother drove me out."

"Then what did you say?"

"The minister said: At the beginning of Song Xuangong's younger brother, it was because he was going to die. When he died, the children were young and he did not show any talent, so he made his younger brother as young and strong as he is today. It's really unethical to make the Tang prince the heir!"

Liu Chang was stunned, and he looked at Zhang Hui in front of him again.

"You can, dare to say this. Just expelling you is considered light, and not inviting you to drink is considered merciful!"

Zhang Hui smiled, "I just don't want to lie."

"Then do you really think I can't be the prince? You came to me and said you wanted to persuade me to give up the position of prince?"

"No, I think the king should be the emperor."

Liu Chang couldn't understand it now, "Since you are on my side, why are you openly refuting Grandma?"

"Your Majesty!"

"Throughout the ages, there has never been such a huge country as the Great Han, and there has never been such a world as it is today. The Great Han is the first in the world! Since it is the first in the world, it should not take the past as an example, but should be the future. Set the rules, all the ministers of the world will come out of the temple, can this also be a precedent from ancient times?"

"The queen mother is a smart person, but now that she is old, many things can't be seen clearly."

"However, this is also understandable, old and exhausted, lack of spirit and spiritual decline."

"You really dare to say it, and say A-mother in front of me, aren't you afraid that I will cook you?"

"Don't be afraid, the king is a wise king and won't kill people because of this fault."

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, "Then you mean to set an unprecedented precedent?"

"It's a precedent that can stabilize the situation and can be used as a precedent for future generations to follow. For example, the Queen Mother today, I predict that in the future, there will definitely be a policy that will make the harem not allowed to do it. Hmm."

Liu Chang blocked his mouth, "You're in such a hurry to die, aren't you?!"

Liu Chang is usually rambunctious and informal, but the guy in front of him really frightened him a bit. He was too tough, so he said why Chao Cuo was so tough, so he had a good teacher. , Dare to say anything, Chao Cuo Zhang Budo's iron-headed baby looks so restrained and cowardly in front of this person.

Liu Chang let go of his hand, and Zhang Hui said with a smile, "Your Majesty, would you like to hear what your minister thinks?"

"Okay, go to the inner room with me and talk about it!"

The two sat facing each other, and Liu Chang looked at him, "Okay, there is no one else here, you can talk."

"What the queen mother sees is only the big man today, but what the minister sees is the big man in the future. Why does the queen mother want to make you emperor? It's because she doesn't like the current majesty and thinks that he is incompetent, the current majesty is really Is it very incompetent? Actually not, it is just because it has not met the Queen Mother's expectations."

"And His Majesty's children are not close to the Empress Dowager. Empress Cao is a strong person and can assist His Majesty, but the Empress Dowager is still there and she has nowhere to play, so the two have conflicts."

"Let the king come to inherit the great lineage, then the queen mother can protect her clan, the king can keep his ministers at ease, and defend against strong enemies outside. Your majesty is not strong, and his son is not wise. Although the king's son, An, is young, he has already With a worthy name, it is far more than His Majesty's child."

Zhang Hui explained for a long time, saying that Liu Chang was a little sleepy.

"But if it is implemented like this, and in the name of Song Xuangong, the world will follow suit in the future. The queen mother can arrange the candidates for the prince at will. Kill them. In this way, the big man will be in chaos."

"The precedent that the minister wants to set is this. First of all, after the queen mother, the harem is not allowed to intervene in politics. The queen mother moves to the Changle Palace, the queen is in charge, and the emperor is solely responsible for government affairs!"

"You can't directly be the emperor's younger brother. If your majesty passed away, his son did not have a crown and did not show any talent, then the royal family would recommend a person of high moral character to come to the throne!"

"You came to see the widow, explained it for so long, and finally told me this? That's it??"
