Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 374 Available Talents
"Fire and water."

"Fire and water."

"install!"

Liu Qi patted Liu An on the shoulder suddenly, Liu An suddenly woke up, and quickly stood up, "Master. I listened to your teaching, and I have a deep understanding." He said, raised his head to see, where is Tianlu Pavilion? There was also the teacher's trace, just a few stupid brothers, sitting around him, watching him intently.

"Return to Master, it's been almost half an hour since Master left the get out of class. What's going on with you recently? You are the most serious in class on weekdays. These days, you've lowered your head and muttered about what's going on. Whose family is this Shuihuo? The surname is Shui, isn't she from Wu? Wu County has the most Shui surnames."

Liu Qi asked curiously.

"Not someone's woman"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Qi's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu An with grief, "Why did you guys start. I. Sigh. Whose man is that?"

"Fart! I'm just thinking about what my grandfather said, what a woman and a man!"

At that moment, Liu An seemed to be possessed by Liu Chang, yelling at Liu Qi.

Only then did Liu Qi breathe a sigh of relief, and said to him seriously, "Don't fall into this bad habit!"

Liu Xiang hesitated for a moment, then expressed his opinion, "Actually, this is not a bad habit."

Liu Xian, Liu Wei and other "pure blood" clans nodded in agreement.

Liu An simply stopped clinging to the magic trick that his grandfather said. Several people felt a little bit evil. Under Liu An's suggestion, they decided to go out to find some food. Liu Yan and Liu Xian both had a lot of private money. It is completely possible to go to a restaurant to eat a big meal, but Liu An and the others believe that as a clan, they have to support themselves and solve the problem of food and clothing by themselves.

Therefore, they deliberately turned into the Pingyang Hou family's mansion, originally wanting to get some sheep, but after they turned in, they failed to do so.

Cao Cheng, Marquis of Pingyang, was sitting in the study, reading, when someone broke in.

Cao Cheng raised his head blankly, as if there were five vertical people standing in front of him.

"uncle!"

"What about your sheep?"

Liu Xiang frowned, looking very unhappy.

Cao Cheng's face turned dark. As the son of Cao Can, a famous irascible man in the early Han Dynasty, Cao Cheng was completely different from his father. Cao Can's short-tempered, belligerent, irritable, and hands-on shortcomings, he did not inherit at all. Of course, Cao Can took the horse. He is capable of Xiang Yu, and he did not inherit the advantages of being able to be the prime minister of the country.Among the many fierce generals around Emperor Gao, Cao Can was the only one whom Han Xin looked up to.

How good is Cao Can? At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, not counting the superposition later, Fan Kuai had [-] households, Guanying [-] households, Xiahouying [-] households, military madman Zhou Bo [-] households, Xiao He [-] households , and Cao Can, [-] households.

As for literature, the governance of Qi State has made Qi State great rule, and in a short period of time, Qi State has returned to the level of drawing 20 troops to fight.

Probably if the father is too strong, the children will become weak.

Cao Cheng has a good relationship with Liu Ying. Cao Cheng is gentle and generous, but he has no talent. Whether it is fighting or in other areas, he has no outstanding talent.

That is such a good temper, when facing Liu Xiang's questioning, he will not take off his shoes.

"You don't see me first, but ask first, what's the point?"

Cao Cheng asked back.

Only then did Liu Xiang meet him with everyone, "Meet your uncle! Where's your sheep?"

"No more! Not one left!"

Compared to Liu Xiang's recklessness, Liu An knew how to be a human being. He walked up to his uncle's side with a smile and sat down, "Uncle~ In the whole of Chang'an, only your mutton is the best. We came here on purpose today, why isn't there any more?"

Cao Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Liu An's head. Compared with Liu Xiang, he also liked the more honest Liu An, he said helplessly: "I have always kept it for you, but, your father Come and get it, I don’t dare not give it.”

Knowing that the sheep were taken away by Liu Chang, Liu Xiang's face was full of despair.

"Father Zhong is so old, how can he still do such a thing? He is still robbing sheep from us. He is the Son of Heaven."

Liu An is not surprised. Everything his father does is reasonable. If he thinks it is unreasonable, it must be that he doesn't know enough about his father.

"What does Father want with so many sheep? He can't finish it all by himself."

Liu An pondered for a moment, and had no choice but to change his goal.

"Then let's go to Wuyang Hou's house to have a look."

The sages of the second generation who did not find the sheep returned to the palace in despair. As soon as they approached the palace, they heard bursts of shouts. From a distance, they could see a group of people gathered outside the palace, with great momentum, and there were still people in the distance. There are soldiers running back and forth, what happened?
The sages were curious in their hearts, hurriedly accelerated their pace, and stepped forward.

As I got closer, I could see the true colors of the people gathered here. They were all students of Taixue. These people looked high-spirited. They were kneeling outside the palace and bowing in the direction of the palace. Long live.

"What's going on?"

Immediately after Liu An and the others approached, there were guards guarding them, keeping them away from the students and preventing them from approaching. When Liu An asked, the leading guards hurriedly saluted, "These are too students. Students, they said they wanted to apologize to His Majesty for the previous assassination of Duke Liu. Previously, they said many times that they wanted to support His Majesty's government. These people are still dangerous, and they all wear swords."

"Apologize with your father??"

"Aren't the students of Taixue very arrogant? Why would they take the initiative to plead guilty? Shouldn't they be gathering to ask Father to release Uncle Fuqiu?"

"Fuck Chubo has been released"

Just when the little cubs were thinking about it, the gate of the palace was slowly opened, and a tall figure stood on the carriage, driving out of the palace. Seeing this figure, the students were even more excited, and they all shouted, It was Liu Chang who came. Liu Chang looked down at the students in front of him and drove the carriage directly to them. The soldiers wanted to step forward to protect them, but Liu Chang just glanced at them, and the soldiers backed away. .

"I know that there were students who were instigated and made big mistakes in the past... Dahan has his own laws, and I can't forgive such crimes, but I can take it lightly and allow them to make up for their mistakes!
Liu Chang said loudly, Liu Chang's voice was loud and clear, even Liu An and the others in the distance could hear it clearly.

"You are all future officials and important ministers in the future. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong before doing things, don't believe rumors lightly, and don't act out of anger!"

Liu Chang said seriously, looked at the people behind him, and said, "It's time to divide the meat!"

Only then did Liu An and the others understand why Liu Chang wanted to get so many sheep. It turned out to be to distribute meat to these students. Liu Xiang complained a little unhappily: "These people have obviously made mistakes, but Father Zhong actually made a mistake. I have to give them meat to eat, the reward and punishment are unclear.”

Looking at the cheering students and their eager eyes looking at Father, Liu An said thoughtfully: "Father always has a deep meaning in doing things, he must use these When the students come to do things, they just don’t know what Father is going to do.”

At this moment, Liu Chang tried his best to show his model of benevolence and sat down with the students to eat meat.

At this banquet, Liu Chang put forward a very important concept.

"You are the disciples of the Son of Heaven!!"

Liu An was stunned, as if something flashed in his mind.

Liu Chang, who returned to the palace, was quite happy, and proudly told the ministers on the left and right about what happened just now. Although these ministers were not far away, they could see it clearly, but Liu Chang could not bear it. The resident said: "Hahaha, the students respect me very much. After I left, they were reluctant to leave!"

"This is all because of His Majesty's kindness. It makes all people admire it!"

Zhang Budo naturally agreed with a smile. He didn't mean to take credit, and he didn't say why these students suddenly gathered outside the palace, but Liu Chang was very happy, and he was also very surprised. He had always felt this The students were troublesome, thinking about how to deal with these people. When he heard that they were gathered, Chang Liu was ready to roll up his sleeves and go out. Later, when he learned that they were here to plead guilty, Chang Liu suddenly woke up.

What am I doing with these people?Instead of pushing them to the traitor's side, it's better to pull them to their side. If people can use these students to do bad things, can't they use them to do good things?Therefore, Liu Chang hurriedly brought sheep, and they exchanged greetings and meat. Sure enough, these students who upheld the style of the Warring States period, after receiving the favor of the emperor, wanted to die for the emperor one by one.

The ethos of dying for admirers left over from the Warring States period has not dissipated at this moment. Many behaviors that seemed quite strange to people later on are mainstream in this era. The simplest example is Zhang Budo. The strong proof of the legacy of the Warring States period is somewhat out of tune with the entire Han Dynasty.

This ethos has affected the big man for many years. When the big man perished, there were still cases where he helped kill people because of the kindness of a meal.

After the demise of the Han Dynasty, this Warring States atmosphere also disappeared in the long river of history.

With the honorable status of Liu Chang, give these low-ranked scholars a piece of meat, then these scholars will have to die for him. At this moment, the king wants to win over certain groups, it is too simple. , as long as you show sincerity, you don't even have to be sincere, as long as you can show that you want to reuse, even use his ideas, you can conquer them.

Of course, this kind of ethos is a double-edged sword. It is easy to use, but it may also hurt the main family. For example, if you divide the meat and let others fight to the death for you, but if you forget to divide the meat for others, even if it is you The master, then this master may lead you to the enemy's side, because he feels that he has been despised. This is a real case.

You can be rude to your subordinates, but you can't despise them. Just like Emperor Gao, Emperor Gao would beat his ministers, but he would never ignore his ministers.

Among Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu, Emperor Gao would insult his ministers and beat him, including Xiang Yu who urinated in other people's hats. I have never heard of Xiang Yu being beaten because of what the minister said. , But the problem is, Emperor Gao will listen to his advice after the fight, will use his strategy, and will show that he values ​​him, Xiang Yu, I won't beat you, I won't scold you, and I won't pay attention to you.

Emperor Gao even remembered the names of the soldiers in the Southern Army, and Xiang Yu probably didn't even remember the name of his own Langzhong. When Langzhong came to give him advice, he looked at him with disdain and waved his hand to let him leave. Then this man went to help Emperor Gao, so what was this man called?Oh, his name is Han Xin.

One more thing, for example, there was a counselor by Xiang Yu’s side, Xiang Yu sent him to capture the land of Yin, and when he returned successfully, he was rewarded with gold. Later, when Liu Bang occupied the place, Xiang Yu was furious, and in order to vent his anger, he decided to kill the inconspicuous man who had captured the land of Yin. The counselor, and then the counselor also defected. What is the name of the counselor?Oh, his name is Chen Ping.

Anyway, Emperor Gao was able to achieve great things, and Xiang Yu made an indelible contribution. Even, after Xiang Yu felt that Liu Bang had too few advisers, he deliberately killed Han Wangcheng, making Zhang Liang, who was dreaming of restoring his country, disheartened. Leng, he concentrated directly on assisting Emperor Gao. For example, considering that Liu Bang had too few generals, he cooked the body of Wang Ling's biological mother intimately.
This was the first time Liu Chang felt the beauty of being an emperor.

In the past, his reputation was ruined. Except for people like Chao Cuo and Zhang Shizhi who were also depraved, very few people were willing to follow him, but now it is different. Actions can quickly make others come to the effect.

So this is what it feels like to be Renjun? ?
At that moment, Liu Chang seemed to realize his father's happiness.

"In the future, I will pretend to be even more coughing. I will be a benevolent and righteous prince. I will go to various places to inspect more, be a corporal, and be close to my lover!!"

Zhou Chang was silent for a long time, no matter what, at least His Majesty is willing to pretend to be approachable, which is not easy.

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat and asked, "Is there any progress in what I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty, tomorrow I will send over the progress reports from all over the world, thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, it can be said that the progress is very fast!"

"very good!"

Liu Changxi, this is the reason why he likes Zhang Budo, Zhang Budo does everything so quickly and will never let him down.Liu Chang looked at the people around him, and said slowly: "This time, I actually think a lot about what happened. Even the students of Taixue can be bewitched by traitors, so what about the rest of the people?"

"I have decided to set up a new agency to inform the world, the decrees of the temple, and the important affairs of the world, so as to appease the hearts of the people of the world, and so that the officials do not dare to distort the orders of the temple."

Zhou Chang was surprised.

He actually felt that what His Majesty said was reasonable, and this proposal was really good.

Liu Chang swept through the ministers one by one, Zhou Chang was busy on the road, Zhang Cang was responsible for playing the watch, Zhang Wudo was responsible for the affairs of the ministers, Chen Ping was seriously ill, and Zhao Ping was responsible for this year’s farming and mulberry farming. Liu Jing wanted to kill and help the nobles, Feng Jing wanted to help Zhang Budo, good brother was responsible for the war horse, Wang Ling was too old to walk, Zhang Liang was sick all day, Zhang Meng was idle, but he hated him, Wang Tianqi .Wang Tianqi people?Oh, yes, introspection in prison.

Lu Jia was still on his way back, and the people were scattered all over the place, and the sages were also busy.

Liu Chang's brows could not help but wrinkle, this courtier is not enough.

The agency he wants to set up is not just responsible for publicizing the new temple policy. Chang Liu has many ideas. This requires a person who is very capable and not afraid of courtiers. It is best to be able to talk to Zhang Budo, Zhang Shizhi and Chao. It's wrong for such a fierce legalist to take charge like this, but all three of them have important things to do.

When Liu Chang returned to the Hall of Houde sullenly, the hall was empty, and Cao Shu and the others were not there, and they were busy.

While drinking with fourth brother, Liu Chang suddenly asked, "fourth brother, how old is your prince?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm really short of people. Or you will"

"Then who are you going to let the matter in the southern country take care of?"

"Ah, Zhang Budo doubts how few loyal ministers like this are."

Liu Chang shook his head, Liu Heng frowned, and said, "If you feel that there is a lack of talents around you, I can recommend someone. When I talked to this person, I found that this person has courage, talent, extraordinary knowledge, and a tall stature. , looks handsome, powerful, both civil and military, although young, can be sharpened, there are three talents!"

"Ah?? The talent of the three masters? Where is this person?"

"In your palace."

"In the palace?? Why don't I know what position I hold?"

"It's a gentleman."

"Yeah"

Liu Chang clapped his hands, suddenly realized something, and asked suspiciously, "However, fourth brother, how do you know a Langzhong?"

"Ahem, I was hanging out in the palace today, and I met a lot of valet and lord, but it's not important, the important thing is that this person is really capable."

Liu Chang's expression was still a little suspicious, and he asked, "Then what's this person's name?"

"Zhidu."

Liu Chang rarely heard the fourth brother admire a person so much, so he was curious, so he asked someone to call this man over. He was a few years younger than Chao Cuo. Although he was young, he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing Liu Chang, and he was indeed very courageous.

Liu Chang looked at him seriously, "It's good-looking, but unfortunately, what I need is a strong man. At his age, I'm afraid it's not right."

Liu Heng shook his head, "At the beginning of my grandfather's command, the Marquis of Huaiyin was the youngest. What does age have to do with talent?"

Liu Chang looked at the guy in front of him, raised his head and asked, "Your name is Zhidu?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, the subject is Zhidu."

"Where are you from?"

"People from Yang County, Hedong County."

"What do you have to be worthy of being used by others?"

"It depends on your majesty. If your majesty takes me as your boss, I will have the talent of the boss. If your majesty takes me as your prefect, you will have the prefect's talent. If your majesty takes me as your general, you will have the talent of a general. If you are the Three Dukes, you will have the talents of the Three Dukes."

"Hahaha, not bad! You are very good!!"
