Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 288 What kind of ignorant is it if you don't ask for immortals?

Gongsun Chen cannot be regarded as a Confucian.

He's just a sorcerer.

Although this fellow is not in a prominent position, his prestige is quite high, and his eloquence is not bad.

The main difference between Zhang Xiang and him is on the theory of the Five Virtues. He admits that Qin takes water virtue and believes that the Han should be the virtue of soil, while Zhang Cang believes that Qin has no virtue, and the Han is the virtue of water.Although Zhang Cang was good at governing the country, he was also good at arithmetic, and he knew a little bit about everything, but in the debate with Gongsun Chen, he did not gain the upper hand.

Gongsun Chen said that Zhang Cang was speechless, easily defeated him, and Huang Long said that many people began to support him, stepping on Zhang Cang's back to enhance his prestige.

Facing Liu Chang's gossip eyes, Zhang Cang had a serious face, "Your Majesty, why is Fang Shi so concerned?"

"In the beginning, the alchemists deceived the First Emperor, and even implicated our Confucianism for a time."

"These people have no role in the country at all, and my brothers and sisters all hate them immensely.."

"Cough cough, the widow heard that he was going to kill the master with a sword, but was caught by Tingwei. What's going on?"

Zhang Cang's face didn't even turn red, and the righteousness said: "This fellow wants to kill me because his theory of Huanglong is untenable."

"Oh, really?"

Liu Chang didn't quite believe this statement, "How did the widow hear about it, because his wife gave birth to a son."

"Your Majesty, don't believe the rumors made up by good people! During the time when Your Majesty was away, the ministers promoted writing and rectified the administration. These villains framed me like this and wanted to ruin my reputation! However, compared to the important affairs of the country , what kind of fame are you?"

Liu Chang admires the teacher's appearance. No matter what, his teacher can say that he is so righteous and resolute, and he has won the essence of Confucianism.

Liu Chang shook his head and sighed: "Master, I have been studying with you for so long, and I am still not as good as you when it comes to talking nonsense."

"I told the widow to embroider the clothes, you just did something you shouldn't do! How could you do this? You and Gongsun Chen, that's an academic dispute, how can you... sigh."

Liu Chang shook his head, this matter is really difficult to handle, there are not many people who impeach Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang has done bad things, but Gongsun Chen is locked up in Tingwei instead, what's the matter!
Zhang Cang pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, there are some things that I can't tell you directly."

"In terms of talent and achievements in governing the country, how does Xiao compare to ministers? People like Xiao Xiang also embezzled money to avoid the envy of the ministers."

"Oh you mean your actions are self-defeating?"

"Your Majesty finally found out! Exactly!"

Liu Chang glanced at his teacher, lecherous and lecherous, what self-defilement, Xiao He is because he is too loved by the people and ministers, how about you, too? ?

However, due to the friendship between master and apprentice, Liu Chang still did not expose him, "The widow is going to see Gongsun Chen in person."

"Your Majesty! No way!"

"What? Master is self-deprecating, and he doesn't allow the widow to let him go? If you don't let him go, you will live in his house!"

Zhang Cang said seriously: "If this person sees the king, he will definitely confuse the king with Huang Long's words."

Liu Chang asked curiously: "I don't understand this matter. He said soil virtue, you said water virtue, and Qin Wude. What is the reason for this? What's the difference between soil virtue and water virtue? , many policies of the Han are based on Qin, how can you belittle Qin like this?"

Zhang Cang looked around, and then said disdainfully: "There is no difference, there is no virtue or not, but the big man has just established a lot of etiquette and clothing, these alchemists want to change this, they just want the right to speak. It's all for their own benefit, and it's fine for the king to pretend that he never heard of it."

"The widow has never seen an alchemist yet!"

Liu Chang was a little curious, so despite Zhang Cang's dissuasion, he insisted on going to Tingwei to see the Gongsun Chen.

When Liu Chang came to the familiar Tingwei, Luan Bu warmly greeted these officials. Many officials who were familiar with Luan Bu were in high positions at the moment. Liu Chang asked Luan Bu to reminisce with these people. Take Wang Tianqi to the prison.

"Luan Gong! Long time no see!"

"It's okay to be called a king, but I dare not be called a public."

"Hahaha, it is said that the king wants to replace Zhou Xiang with you, how dare you call yourself a king?"

"Looking at everyone's appearance, it seems that after the king left, you have had a good life."

"Hey, what are you talking about, you don't know. Although the king is gone, there is still Young Master Xiang. Young Master Xiang is even worse than the King. A few days ago, he and a few friends injured the children of Cao Cheng's family."

"Stop talking about it, Luan Jun, how many children do you have?"

"Er never got married."

While Luan Bu and the others were chatting, Liu Chang came to Gongsun Chen.

Gongsun Chen sat in the prison, his face full of grief and anger, but when he saw the person coming, he immediately corrected his face and said confidently: "The king is here."

"Oh?"

"Today, when I saw the condensed luxury from the window, I thought that the king would come."

"Hahaha, is it?"

Liu Changren opened the door and brought Gongsun Chen out.

"People say that you are a real immortal. Come and change the law for the widow. If it becomes better, I will forgive you!"

Gongsun Chen only felt a deep insult, but he still had that confident smile on his face, he didn't dare to turn around and leave, because he was old and he was afraid that King Tang would hit him.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Your Majesty has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and any spell is useless in front of Your Majesty."

"The widow is so powerful?"

Liu Chang stroked his chin, but his eyes were full of contempt.

Gongsun Chen knew that he had to change his strategy, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have auspicious gifts to offer. If you don't believe me, I can predict it for you."

"No need!"

Liu Chang was even more impatient. Gongsun Chen had always wanted to meet Liu Chang. Seeing Liu Chang's growing displeased, for fear of losing this opportunity, he hurriedly changed his strategy again, and he shouted: "Your Majesty! Law."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, "You know how to make alchemy?"

Wang Tianqi's face changed greatly, and he said angrily, "Your Majesty! Please kill this person!"

Gongsun Chen didn't care about Wang Tianqi at all, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I know how to make alchemy. I have several friends who are proficient in alchemy. What we practise is not the waste elixir eaten by the King of Qin, but the real one. The elixir... just one, can make the king immortal!"

"No, tell me in detail, how do you usually make alchemy? What do you use? Come, come out, let's chat as we walk!"

Liu Chang grabbed the man and walked out with him, but Wang Tianqi almost burst into tears. He shouted, "Your Majesty! Don't be fooled by him!"

If the queen mother knew that the king had created an alchemist from Tingwei, would she still be able to do it?
Liu Changchang waved his hand, "How can a widow be bewitched by others? A widow is a virtuous king! Don't worry!"

Gongsun Chen was also very happy at the moment, he nodded and reprimanded loudly: "Your Majesty is King Xian! How dare you say such a thing!"

Gongsun Chen nodded and followed Liu Chang's side, talking about his way of alchemy.

"Your Majesty, this elixir"

"Don't say what the elixir looks like, continue to say how you made it!"

"it is good!"

Although Gongsun Chen didn't know why the king was so curious about the technique of alchemy, he didn't dare to hide it privately. He explained the various techniques one by one, and Liu Chang nodded from time to time.

"I didn't expect it. You guys are still good at experimenting."

"Ah? What did the king say?"

"It's nothing."

Liu Chang laughed and took Gongsun Chen's hand, "Well, the widow is very curious about the technique of alchemy, you bring all the friends you know who can make alchemy to the widow, and the widow personally arranges a good errand for you. , how is it?"

Gongsun Chen was overjoyed, "I would like to serve the king!"

"One more thing, that picture"

As soon as Liu Chang opened his mouth, Gongsun Chen's face turned black, he gritted his teeth, and his expression kept changing, "Your Majesty, this matter is no longer pursued by this minister. It's just that Zhang Cang has done a lot of evil, he doesn't know how to accumulate blessings, and he has consumed too much blessing. , will soon die!"

Hearing Gongsun Chen cursing Zhang Cang, Liu Chang couldn't say anything for his master. After all, Zhang Cang was really unkind, and seducing a concubine was a big deal. It's really unkind of you to seduce your wife.

Gongsun Chen bowed to Liu Chang again, and left Tingwei in a hurry.

However, Wang Tianqi found Luan Bu and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Luan, the king wants to find alchemists to refine the elixir, and only you can dissuade him!"

"Um???"

The smile on Luan Bu's face gradually solidified.

"Your Majesty! Impossible!!"

Luan Bu grabbed Liu Chang's hand, his eyes full of horror.

He already knew that his king was a faint-hearted monarch, but he never thought that his king could be so faint that he was ready to make alchemy after he established the crown. Then, do you still have to send someone to go out to sea to search for Xianshan?
Looking at Luan Bu's terrified eyes, Liu Chang shook his head helplessly, "It's okay if they don't believe me, why don't you believe it? I didn't want them to concoct pills, I was going to let them go to Shangfang. Aren't you busy trying to increase the power of gunpowder? These people are good at experimenting!"

"Your Majesty wants them to make gunpowder??"

Luan Bu looked at Liu Chang suspiciously. After Liu Chang used gunpowder to blast mines, gunpowder gradually became popular in various places. They were all used as tools for mining, but the power was too small to be used in other fields. People have a headache.

Liu Chang exclaimed: "Who am I, King Tang? Why did I lie? You can rest assured!"

"Your Majesty, the more you say that, the more I can't believe it."

"In short, don't be deceived by these alchemists. What kind of elixir do they know? They are all deceivers. The king can't mislead the country because of this."

Luan Bu started talking in a rowdy manner, but Liu Changman didn't care, "I know! I know!"

Not long after Liu Chang returned to the Hall of Houde, a valet found him and asked him to go to Changle Palace immediately.

"Shuzi!! Who asked you to call alchemists to concoct alchemy?!"

The queen mother waved the wooden stick in her hand and stared at Liu Chang in front of her, extremely angry.

"This Luan Bu, how did he start learning Ji Bu?"

Liu Chang cursed.

"Shuzi! I asked you to read history with Gaigong, you read this, right?"

"No... Mom, I really want them to make gunpowder, not alchemy."

Liu Chang explained, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted: "Mum! You can't send someone to kill Gongsun Chen! I still use this fellow!"

Empress Lu hesitated, "Is it really not alchemy?"

"Hey! Why don't you believe me! What kind of alchemy do I practice? The widow is only standing now, and even alchemy has to wait until the sixties!"

Empress Lv was thoughtful, and called his valet to give some orders.

"Long. As an emperor, you can't indulge in these things. Your father, when you are seriously ill, you are not even willing to heal, let alone longevity. This is your father's only strength. You must follow suit!"

"Hahaha, mother is saying that father has nothing to do, just not afraid of death?"

Empress Lu glared at Liu Chang, "Don't say that about your father!"

"Isn't that what my mother said?"

"I said yes, you said no."

"When did grandma start to love grandpa so much?"

Empress Lu did not answer this question, but instead asked, "Do you know why Zhang Liang is here?"

"Someone invited him here."

"Then who do you think it is?"

"Chen Ping!"

Liu Chang said decisively.

The queen mother narrowed her eyes and said displeasedly: "You are ambitious and want to do too many things, and all the ministers are afraid that you will ruin the big man."

"They are farts! They are all old and unwilling to make progress, so they want to drag me down!"

The queen mother shook her head, "their worries are all justified. You are too impatient, eager for quick success, very happy, and useless. If there is no one to drag you, the big man might really perish in your hands."

Liu Chang's face was full of dissatisfaction, but he did not refute.

"Zhang Liang, are they looking for me to hold me back?"

"No, it's here to protect the ministers. If he doesn't come, your benefactor will really die with the ministers. This minister in the court can't just rely on tough means to suppress you, do you understand? "

Liu Chang looked at his grandmother in a complicated way, "Mom, I can't tell you about others, but compared to yours, my methods are more gentle, right?"

"You are different from me, I can't get the real support of the ministers, but you can. The court needs someone to push you forward, and someone needs to drag you. You should stop shooting at the ministers, those who want to do it, Chen Pinghe Zhang Liang has been sent away. The ministers left behind are all people you can use."

"Chen Ping and Zhang Liang moved their hands?? They also started to give wine?? Chen Ping is also a wicked person, but Liu Hou. Oh, I thought he was not a cough like my mother. Cough, mother, you continue to speak."

The empress dowager resisted the anger in her heart, "Take good control of your lover, don't be in a hurry to replace the current minister."

"Since Zhang Liang came out for the sake of his son, he can't let him go back, let him be at ease in Chang'an."

"By the way, I was about to ask about this. How could Ann take Liuhou as a teacher?"

After hearing this, Empress Lu stared at Liu Chang for a long time, and asked, "This is what Liu Hou asked himself. What do you think is the reason?"

"Could it be that the great merit of the widow moved him?"

"Heh, the ministers are probably afraid of another dazed ruler."

Liu Chang suddenly understood, he nodded and said seriously: "Yes, there is the faint-hearted monarch of my father, and the ministers naturally don't want to see the second one!"

"It's the third faint."

"It's not that, mum, although the eldest brother is a little lecherous, a little stupid, a little weak, and has no strategy, he studies hard. But he is still a good emperor, and he can't be considered a fool."

"Oh, I was wrong, because I was afraid of a fourth faint."

After talking about Zhang Liang, the queen mother talked about Han Xin again.

"You put too much trust in Han Xin, although he is your teacher, but you can't help but be on guard. You appoint him as a captain, I don't care, but don't always let him go out and let him not command the army alone, if he wants to rebel , you can't stop him."

"Oh mom, don't worry, I have never beaten him in a war, but in the case of rebellion, Zhang Budo will be able to completely abuse him."

"This time he won the battle, you can add him as a marquis again, but don't seal it in other places, just seal it in Chang'an, and be a marquis of Chang'an."

"Marquis of Chang'an?? What about Luta's grandfather?"

"Then find a random place near Chang'an. Not too far."

"I see."

Empress Lu would not trust anyone. Years of experience had made her suspicious. Even if Zhang Liang taught Liu An, she would send someone to eavesdrop and warn Zhang Liang, what are you teaching? Chu, don't talk nonsense.

Liu Chang sat behind Empress Lu and pinched her shoulder awkwardly.

As for why it's awkward. It's because Liu Chang is too tall.

In front of Liu Chang, the old and thin Empress Lu really became like a child. The contrast was too obvious.

"Don't press to eat."

"Oh."

Liu Chang sat obediently in front of Empress Lu, and could not wait to take the knife to cut it, Empress Lu took the knife and skillfully divided the meat into several pieces and placed them on the table in front of Liu Chang.

"Mother. I'll do it myself."

"You'll get your hands cut."

"I've never cut my hands before cutting a head."

Liu Chang muttered in a low voice, and ate the meat cut by his mother in dissatisfaction, muttering while eating.

"How long has it been since your elder sister came?"

Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and said, "I heard that Jia Yi has a child, so he must go to help them bring their grandson."

Empress Lu didn't speak, her face full of vicissitudes, she turned her head and looked at the window.

"Mom, Lu, that Shuzi actually made military exploits, don't you know? This fellow is also lucky, when he was transporting food, he actually met a Guduhou who was defeated and fled, but he is not suitable to continue to stay in the battlefield. I've ordered him back."

"Do you still remember that Xiao Yan? It's the second son of Xiao Xiang's family, and Wang Xiang actually promoted him to be the Order of Jinyang. Wang Xiang likes him very much, saying that he is responsible and diligent in his work."

In the hall, there was only a pair of mother and son. The mother quietly listened to the son's chatter about anecdotes, but silently cut a few pieces of meat and placed them in front of the son.

Liu Chang stayed until the evening before leaving. When he returned to the Hall of Houde, Cao Shu and Fan Qing were already waiting for him.

Liu Chang was taken away suddenly, and they were a little worried after going for so long.

Fan Qing couldn't help but ask: "Long, what did the queen mother say? Why did you talk about it for so long?"

"Oh, it's nothing, that means my father has nothing to do."

"what??"

"It's okay, where's Anna Shuzi?"

"Go to Liuhou Mansion."

Liu Chang nodded, and suddenly, he heard something vaguely, frowned, listened carefully for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What kind of sound is this? Why does it sound like grandfather singing??"

Cao Shu and Fan Qing listened carefully for a while, and Cao Shu said helplessly: "I heard that Xiang stole His Majesty's carriage and drove out of the palace, probably His Majesty was teaching him a lesson."

"Hahaha~~~"

"This Shuzi is promising!"

"In the future, you can go out to fight like me and be a general!"

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Cao Shu was stunned and frowned slightly.
