Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 401

The big man lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of generals who can fight.

From the establishment to the demise of Dahan, the quality of the famous generals born is amazing.

Probably because the Han Dynasty was the dynasty with the longest military service system, and there were as many generals as cattle.

Generals like Chai Wu have a place in the Great Han Ruthless Heavenly Corps, but the light of the individual ruthless people of the same era is so dazzling that they cover the light of these people.Don't look at Zhi Du's success many times, that's all because Zhi didn't talk about martial arts, and attacked this old man who was over fifty years old. If the two met on the battlefield now, Chai Wu would not be surnamed Chen unless he smashed his head!
This is the case, because during the Warring States Period, nobles generally had surnames, surnames, first names, and characters.

Sometimes, clans can change, for example, Shang Yang, Ji Yang, Gongsun Yang, and Wei Yang all refer to the same person.

Such as Xiang Yu, what is his surname?

Xiang Yu's surname is Ji, Xiang is his surname, Ji is his given name, and Yu is his character.

In the style of the Warring States, men should call their surnames, but not their surnames, otherwise it would be an insult. For example, if you call Xiang Ji Ji Ji, he will definitely beat you up.

For women, it is necessary to call the surname. In order to separate the marriage, the surname can be changed, but the surname cannot be changed.

Like Liu Bang, his surname is not actually Liu, Liu is his family, and Liu Bang is probably surnamed Qi. If they lived in later generations, it might be Qi Bang and Qi Chang.
Of course, in this era, there should be no one who dares to call their surnames.

Since the Qin state, the surnames have been combined into one, and in the Han Dynasty, basically no one talks about the difference between the surnames.

However, when the historian was recording, people began to be a little confused, because the names recorded in various materials were different, such as Chai Wu, and sometimes Chen Wu.

Looking at Chai Wu, who was aggrieved in front of him, Liu Chang just smiled and reassured him.

"You are responsible for guarding me, how can you say such a thing?"

"That Zhi is not sensible, don't bother with a child like him, I will let him come and apologize to you!"

After this incident, Liu Chang made improvements to Chang'an's three-layer defense system. After this expansion, Chang'an's internal division was more clearly defined. The city gate captain was the first layer, and the outer city was The lieutenant is in charge, the guard is in charge of the inner city, and the palace is of course under the responsibility of the commander.

Liu Chang couldn't believe it. Under such circumstances, there were still people who could make Chang'an fall into turmoil.

Haosheng appeased Chai Wu, and Liu Chang just started talking about something important.

"I want to recruit a son from a good family in the country to serve as the official. You have to take charge of this matter and choose carefully. There are many good people in the country, and their descendants are probably competent."

Liu Chang's hint, Chai Wu is quite clear, before everyone ate a stick, His Majesty is going to give them another bite of candy, this man, most of the time it is actually plated with gold, to accompany the emperor, maybe It will be reused one day, even if it is released later, it is a serious official who has accompanied the emperor, and it is very face to say it. As long as it is not for Liu Ying, it is very face.

Although Liu Ying has slightly ruined Lang Guan's reputation and made Lu Lu the target of ridicule, there are really countless people who yearn for this position.

Chai Wu naturally took the lead, and then he said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing"

"you say!"

"There is a director Feng Tang who was imprisoned for offending you. This person is very talented. If His Majesty can forgive his mistakes a little, let him come out."

"Hehe, I heard that this person hangs out with Liu Jing and speaks ill of me all day long!"

At the beginning, Zou Ji satirized King Qi's admonition, which has become a beautiful talk through the ages, but now Feng Tang satirized King Tang's imprisonment, which once again refreshed the lower limit of a faint king. Chai Wu is still relatively good to his subordinates, and Feng Tang is not young. It is a pity to die in prison.

"Your Majesty, Feng Tang is a direct minister. Among your favorite ministers, Luan Xiang and Ji Xiang are also like this. Please be a little bit more."

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Chai Wu was stunned for a moment, "The minister said chaos."

"Hahaha, this fellow has a particularly bad temper. He likes to contradict when he sees things that are not pleasing to the eye, right?"

"Yes"

"This fellow is very stubborn. I can't scare him no matter what. I will never let go of one thing. Even Tingwei doesn't know how to go back, right?"

"Yes. Your Majesty"

"Very good, you go and bring him out! Let him rest at home for a few days, I will use it myself!"

"only!!!"

Chai Wu didn't know what His Majesty wanted to do, but it was enough to get Feng Tang out, and the goal had been achieved.

Chai Wu was sent away, and Zhang Cang came in last, and Liu Chang said wearily, "Master, if there is anything important, let's talk about it tomorrow, I've worked hard for political affairs today, and I've been sitting here all day, mind and body. I'm exhausted, and I really don't have the energy to deal with anything major."

Zhang Cang widened his eyes blankly, "But it's been less than an hour since you met with the minister."

"Oh no??"

Liu Chang immediately stuck his head out and looked at the direction of the window, with a helpless expression on his face, "Okay, tell me."

Zhang Cang talked about Sikong.

"I think this person is quite accomplished, and he is quite accomplished in construction, and he can be responsible for the design and construction of cities in various places."

Liu Chang's face was full of disdain.

"Master, a tall and majestic city wall cannot be breached even if it is surrounded by tens of thousands of people. Why is this?"

Lu Lu, who was pouring tea for them, was stunned for a moment. No, His Majesty has to use the code. Should he go and find Bo Fuqiu? ?

Zhang Cang was stunned, why is this Shuzi so normal this time? ?
This is Mencius's famous article, "Having the Dao, many help, but losing the Dao, there is little help", from "Gongsun Chou".

He still responded cooperatively: "I don't know."

He has already thought about it, and then Liu Chang will tell himself the allusion that "the weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people", to explain that building a city is useless. Zhang Cang has already thought about how to refute him. , However, because this fellow used the right allusion for the first time, Zhang Cang was reluctant to interrupt him, just wanted to cooperate.

Liu Chang shook his head and said: "This is because there are too few soldiers to attack, and the generals are not good enough! If the Marquis of Huaiyin is to lead a million Tang troops to fight, what city cannot be taken? Therefore, instead of In terms of strengthening the city defense, it is better to train more troops, increase the number of soldiers, and select excellent generals, what do you think?"

Zhang Cang's lips trembled for a moment, "What Your Majesty said is not without reason."

Zhang Cang said: "Your Majesty, what you said is true, but prosperity and decline are alternated. The city wall can protect the country and the people when His Majesty is unable to draw troops, which cannot be underestimated. Besides, Yangcheng's extension of the construction of the city will not be taken lightly. It's just a simple defense against the enemy, and the city has to be convenient for the people. There are many things to consider in terms of roads, drainage, disaster prevention, and layout, and it can't be understood as a simple measure to guard against the enemy."

Zhang Cang immediately talked about some architectural terminology.

Said Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment.

Zhang Cangguo is really the person who understands Liu Chang the most. He pretends to be so profound that Liu Chang can't understand immediately. Liu Chang has a good face. The other party's statement does not let the other party see his ignorance.

Therefore, Zhang Cang quickly persuaded Liu Chang, who agreed and nodded, "What you said is really good!"

"The methods of building the city you mentioned are exactly the same as what I thought, just as you said, let Yang Chengyan be in charge of this matter, send soldiers to protect him, and let the engineers from all over Obey his orders, by the way, you can go to Taipu and ask my good brother to send him a few fast horses for him to drive."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Cang left contentedly. Zhang Cang has always hated trouble. This time, if he could help Yang Chengyan, Zhang Cang couldn't say why, probably because of the serious expression on his face when he introduced the building structure to himself. Bar.

Lu Lu looked at Liu Chang in surprise, "Your Majesty, did you really understand what Duke Zhang just said?"

"Uh. Of course I understand."

"Let's not talk about this, there is no minister outside??"

"Nothing."

"However, Your Majesty, are you really going to let that Feng Tang go?"

"Hahaha, the widow has other uses for him."

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes with a wicked smile on his face.

When Liu Chang came to the Hall of Houde humming a song proudly, he saw Cao Shu standing outside the hall, as if waiting for something, which made Liu Chang a little surprised, who dared to let Cao Shu wait outside? ?Did she offend her mother?

Just when Liu Chang stepped forward quickly, Cao Shu shook his head gently, signaling him not to speak.

At this moment, Chang Liu also knew why Cao Shu didn't go in. Standing outside the hall, he could vaguely hear the music coming from inside.

The drum sound was very clear and continuous. It was not as heavy as a war drum. With a rhythm, Liu Chang couldn't help shaking his legs lightly, and then there was the sound of the piano. , this piano sound is even more pleasant, although it has a trace of sadness, such as weeping and complaining, it seems to be a piece of music from Chu State.

Liu Chang lowered his voice and asked, "Is this An playing??"

Cao Shu nodded slightly.

This king Li, who is not like his father, is different from his grandfathers. He has deep attainments in literature and music. Like the King of Chu, he is a prince who belongs to the genre of literature and art. Very good, dance is also good, all kinds of musical instruments can be played, often go to Yuefu, and have a lot of fun.

"What a beautiful qin sound, Zhong Ziqi said at the beginning: It was like a river, I just thought it was too much. Now I listen to this song, it turns out that it is not fake."

Cao Shu said with emotion.

Liu Chang nodded, "Yes."

"The sound of the guqin is heard by swimming fish, and the music of Zheng Wei has its reverberation around the beam."

Liu Chang nodded again, "Yes."

Looking at Cao Shu's approving eyes, Liu Chang reacted, shook his head in disappointment, and said a little sourly: "This stubby, he is not doing his business, but he is going to play the piano, how can I tolerate it? He is beside him. Ah, he just lacks a lover who can discipline him!"

Cao Shu originally wanted to refute, but when he heard the dismissal, Cao Shu's eyes lit up and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to arrange a dismissal for this Shuzi?"

"Yeah, I specially selected an upright capable minister for him to assist him. As his benefactor, I can persuade him very well."

"Great!"

Cao Shu was very happy, "Why didn't your majesty invite him over and hold a banquet for him?"

It seems that Cao Shu also knows that Liu Chang is unreliable, and wants to see what the level of this sweetheart carefully selected by Liu Chang is.

Liu Chang looked at Cao Shu in front of him, and suddenly grinned, "Empress, I must have arranged this sacrifice, but I'm looking for a lover for your son, you have to make up for it. ?"

Cao Shu rolled his eyes at this fellow, and scolded, "You're serious!"

"Oh, I'll invite you over tomorrow, then this is a matter of compensation"

"What compensation?"

Suddenly someone interrupted Liu Chang, Liu Chang looked down and saw that it was Liu An, holding his brother Bo, both of them looked at Liu Chang and Cao Shu curiously.

Liu Chang was furious and scolded: "Shuzi, what are you asking about your lord! Why don't you go to Changle Palace!"

Liu An shrugged, his face full of indifference. Father always had this fierce expression, he was used to it.

Liu Bo was a little scared. Seeing that his father was angry, he hid behind his brother in fear, and looked at Liu Chang pitifully.

When Liu Chang saw him like this, he immediately laughed, "Oh, my father joked, come, don't be afraid, give me a hug!"

Liu Chang hugged his younger son and coaxed him.

Liu An was about to leave holding his piano, but Liu Chang grabbed him.

"What are you running?! Go back and play a good song for me!!"

In the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang teased the little guy in his arms, ate the meat in front of him, and occasionally drank a few sips of wine. Cao Shu smiled and poured wine for him, while Liu An was sitting in front of them, serious. Playing for them, with a happy look, Liu Chang couldn't help humming while listening to the song, and ate a few more pieces of meat.

Liu An smiled, looked at the picture of the warm family of three in front of him, and played hard for them.

Um? ?Seems like something is wrong? ?

The next day, although Cao Shu was a little weak, he still insisted on going to the banquet to meet the lover who saw his son.

As soon as they met, Cao Shu was a little disappointed.

Because this Shiren is really too old, and she still knows this person. Isn't this the little official who used to be responsible for food in the palace?How could such an old man be able to be his son's benefactor?What's more, this renunciation has always been dominated by young people, and this old man is a lot of age. Does such renunciation really work?
Feng Tang is not very good-looking, nor is he too tall.

In this age of looking at face, this makes him easy to be despised, and he doesn't pay much attention to his clothes. He looks a little sloppy. Fortunately, Cao Shu didn't treat him rudely. He didn't judge people based on appearance, but was serious Some questions were asked.

Most of the questions Cao Shu asked were about the current state affairs.

Although Cao Shu does not participate in government affairs, it is not that he is ignorant.

On the left and right of Cao Shu, Fan Qing and Yong'e also looked at Feng Tang eagerly.

As Liu An's eldest son, the three of them love him very much. They heard that Liu An will have the first lover, and they all attach great importance to it. They must try this lover for themselves.

Fortunately, Feng Tang is still very powerful. No matter what questions these three ask, he can answer them.

Even when Yong E asked about swordsmanship, he could answer.

In the beginning, it was an examination of the school, but later, there was a sense of deliberately making things difficult, and Cao Shu decisively interrupted the difficulty of the two. She recognized the Tang Wangshe in front of her, yes, yes.

Liu Chang's face was full of pride, Chai Wu was right, he was indeed a capable person, but unfortunately, he was too stubborn, too upright, didn't like to tell the truth, Liu Chang didn't like such people, he was discordant by nature.

Just when Chang Liu was about to order Feng Tanglai to serve as his wife, Zhang Qing came over.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has invited Duke Feng."

Just like the three beauties are very fond of An, the Queen Mother naturally also cares about this eldest grandson. Hearing that someone wants to be a lover to the grandson, it is natural to take an exam.

Feng Tang was still not afraid. Facing the Queen Mother, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he responded appropriately, but he was a little too aggressive. When the Queen Mother asked about Chang'an, he even blamed the Queen Mother. Zhang Qing was a little frightened when he heard it. , Feng Tang's behavior made the queen mother very satisfied. If she didn't have the courage, how could she follow her grandson?

As a result, Feng Tang passed the test again.

"Your Majesty! The Emperor Taishang heard that the Prince had given up and wanted to meet him."

Feng Tang didn't care, but Liu Chang couldn't help it.

"Do I have to burn him later to talk to Grandpa?!"

Feng Tang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you have stipulated that you are not allowed to talk about ghosts and gods in temples"

"Fuck! Others can't say it, I can!"

When Feng Tang went through several tests, he was finally thrown to Liu An.

Feng Tang was also doing his duty. Liu An got a new mansion from his aunt, and he called his friends to play in the mansion on weekdays. Feng Tang sternly persuaded Liu An to use his studies. For the most important, even to death, he even proposed to inform the emperor and the queen of these things.

Liu An was furious. First, he was the ancestral Ji-si, playing hooligans, but Feng Tang didn't like this.

Then there was "Father Zhong", flattering and other means, but Feng Tang still refused to eat.

In the face of this hard-hearted sweetheart, Liu An just shouted angrily: "Wait! Sooner or later, I will cook you!"

When Liu Chang heard about these things, he smiled happily and bent over.

"Hahaha, this kind of guy who doesn't eat hard and soft, has a stubborn personality and doesn't know how to flatter people, just throw it to this Shuzi and torture him!!"

Liu Changzheng was smiling, and he didn't know what to think, but the smile on his face suddenly solidified.

He thought about it, but his expression became more and more sad and angry. Suddenly, Liu Chang punched the case in front of him to pieces.

"You idiot!!"

"I see!!!"

ps: Ah, I can barely lift my tired head these days. It is not easy to make up allusions. In order to write a husband, I will sooner or later become a husband.

Lords, isn't this a monthly vote for the old wolf? ?
