Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 418 No other meaning

Chang'an Qunxian can't gather together. They can only be good Qunxian when they are separated. If three or more gather together, they will start to tear down their homes.

The era of Liu Chang was a period in which power gradually transitioned from old ministers to younger ministers.

And Liu Chang did an excellent job, the transition process was very peaceful, and there were no contradictions.

"Shuzi is insufficiency and conspiracy!!"

Zhou Chang leaned heavily on his crutches, the crutches fell so hard that it almost slashed the ground. Zhou Chang's face flushed and his expression became excited.

And the person who let Zhou Chang break the defense like this was not Zhang Wuxuan, but Feng Jing, the pawn.

The guest Feng Jing was originally a minister of the Tang state, and later followed Liu Chang to the temple to serve as Jiuqing. Like Zhang Budo, he was also a nobleman. His ancestor was Feng Ting, the king of Huayang, the governor of Shangdang County in South Korea during the Warring States Period. Because of his unwillingness to donate soil to Qin, he declared himself a minister to Zhao, which caused a small misunderstanding between Qin and Zhao, which is known as the Battle of Changping in history.

However, his descendants all defected to the Qin state. Feng Wuze, the famous Marquis of Wuxin by the First Emperor, Feng Quji, the right prime minister, and Feng Jie, the imperial censor, were all descendants of Feng Ting.

Feng Jing is the eldest son of Feng Wuze, Marquis of Wuxin.

He inherited the mantle of his ancestors and served as the county governor of Korea at a young age. Then he met the pair of Han Xin and Cao Can. Any one of these two is enough for him, not to mention two people coming together. Woolen cloth.

Then the South Korean county governor became the Dahan general.

In history, this man died in the battle of Emperor Jing and became the highest-ranking official of the Han Dynasty killed during the Han-Hungarian War, the former three Dukes.

At present, he is serving as a pawn in the DPRK. The so-called pawn is responsible for diplomacy, not only for diplomatic relations and border tribe affairs, but also for domestic feudal lords, their tribute, visits, dispatch of troops, their usual behavior, etc. Those who are responsible or supervised by Dianke still have great power.

At the same time, this position is also the position Chao Cuo desires most.

After taking office, Feng Jing has done a good job. Whether it is for the internal princes or the external kings, he can be fair and impartial, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the etiquette is thoughtful. Before, dozens of foreign kings from the Western Regions came to him. Being able to take good care of these people at the same time and earn face together, Liu Chang is still very satisfied with him.

And why is Zhou Chang so angry at this moment?

Mainly because of Feng Jing's performance at the moment.

Feng Jing played at today's court meeting, hoping that the temple could give the patron a power, military power.

As for what a department in charge of foreign affairs wants to do with military power, according to Feng Jing, it is to establish better diplomatic relations with the outside world. Feng Jing wants to form a pedestrian army of Dianke. This pedestrian refers to a department within Dianke. It's called the pedestrian agency.This pedestrian agency is responsible for traveling to and from various places, and it also serves as the important mission of the envoy. The pedestrian army that Dianke wants to form now is the "envoys", which will leave the big Han and go to all directions of the big Han to visit those small countries in the distance.

If it was just like this, Zhou Chang would not be so angry.

"Three thousand armors?? Four thousand crossbows? Are you going to visit or destroy the country??"

Zhou Chang's eyes widened, this guy is going to form an envoy, this is to form a scout, go to various places to investigate the situation, and may also engage in some actions to provoke war!If it was just an envoy, a hundred people would be enough. How could anyone go out on an envoy wearing armor and carrying a crossbow? ?
Feng Jing said calmly: "Zhou Xiang, there will be beasts and bandits along the road, this is just in case."

"What kind of beasts and thieves need so much armor and strong crossbow?? Are you trying to form a northern army??"

Zhou Chang said displeasedly: "Besides, you still want to recruit privately, and you are not willing to disclose the specific number. Are you planning to rebel?"

"Your Majesty is very happy today. The wars have continued for years. As a minister, you don't try to dissuade him. In order to flatter him, you are planning to send people to provoke wars around! How can someone like you be worthy of the position of Jiuqing?!"

"Bold!!!!"

Zhang Budo jumped out suddenly, pointed at Zhou Chang and scolded: "Old dog! How dare you insult Your Majesty?!"

Zhou Chang looked at the traitors of the dynasty, took a deep breath, and cried out in grief and indignation: "Traitors are in power! This is God who wants to destroy my big man!!"

Zhang Budo exclaimed: "How dare you curse the big man! It turns out to be the most remnant of Wu!! Where is Tingwei?!"

Liu Chang just waved his hand and ended the meaningless quarrel.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

After letting the ministers leave, Liu Chang left behind Zhang Budo, Feng Jing, Wang Tianqi and a few others.

Taking a few people to the Hall of Houde, Zhang Budo couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chang should be replaced, and Ji Bu can take his place!!"

Liu Chang also scolded: "This old dog always humiliates me in person, and I will never let him go!"

Wang Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to go to his house to check if there is any armor or something?"

Liu Chang glanced at him, "You are not Tingwei now."

Wang Tianqi said with a smile: "Kechen is a lieutenant, and the armor of this outer city, whoever your Majesty wants to have, will surely find it!"

Zhang Budo shook his head, "Then why don't you just insist that he is the remnant of Wu's best, and find a few witches directly from his house!"

"Isn't there a witch under Lu Gong's command? He will only predict the murder. Later, let Lu Gong send him to sleep outside the door of Zhou Chang's mansion, and we will arrest him tomorrow."

Liu Chang couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and sat down with them.

At first, Chang Liu also thought about why there are so many old and stubborn people in the temple. These people don’t know how to be flexible, they are stubborn, they insist on their outdated ideas, and they always oppose the latest orders of the temple. When my grandfather was still there, This situation already exists. The ghost knows how many people came to oppose Liu Jing when he wanted to set up a mausoleum.

Emperor Gao's attitude towards these people is very bad, beating and insulting, and everything, but he just won't drive them out.

Liu Chang is also very confused, why not just drive away?
But now, he gradually understands that there is no shortage of such people in the temple. When driving, not only a whip, but also a rein and noose.In later words, the car can not only have the accelerator, but also the brakes.The stubborn old ministers such as Zhou Chang, although conservative to the extreme and unwilling to usher in new changes, still play a protective role. Their existence is to avoid the risky actions of ministers like Zhang Budo. will destroy the society.

You can hate them, you can beat them, but you can't live without them in the temple.

The older Liu Chang is, the more he can understand what his father thought at the time.

Moreover, many things must be handed over to ministers like Zhou Chang. For example, Zhou Chang has been in charge of Chidao for a long time. If Zhang Wusu and the others come to this matter, it will be great. After two months, the big man The fox should be called, three months later, there should be a stone man in the river, and four months later, the white snake will be hacked to death, and then there will be no more.

"King. What do you think?"

Liu Chang bypassed Zhou Chang's topic and looked at Feng Jing curiously.

Feng Jing said earnestly: "Your Majesty! Since the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty, except for the war with the Huns, at other times, merchants from other countries have come here to learn about the external situation. According to the current news, the world is not the same. It is as narrow as the ancients thought, what kind of big country and what kind of situation in the distance, we all do not know as to whether the words of these foreign messengers and merchants are true, we Not sure."

"This kind of behavior is like blocking your eyes and ears, lowering your head and staring at your toes. The art of war is like: Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. Knowing yourself without knowing the enemy, one victory and one loss. War will be lost!"

"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty's permission, let us form a pedestrian army, from the east, from the west, from the south, from the north. Or go to the desert and the wilderness, or to the water, sea and islands, draw maps, understand the climate, know our enemies, and master them. Zhou Chang misunderstood what I meant, he thought I was going to search for prey for His Majesty, in fact, I just wanted the big man not to be the prey of others."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Budo laughed disdainfully, "Who can treat a big man as a prey?"

Feng Jing said solemnly, "When Yelang State met with the envoys of Changsha State, he asked the Great Han's territory compared to Yelang State, who is bigger and who is smaller?"

"This is because they don't know the situation outside, they only see their own strength."

"My big man is stronger than a hundred times stronger than Yelang?"

"Then how do you think the territory of the poisonous country is compared to that of a big man?"

Zhang Budo couldn't answer immediately, because he didn't understand this poisonous country.

Feng Jing said: "This is because I don't know the enemy's situation."

Wang Tianqi just smiled and didn't speak.

Liu Chang thought about it, Feng Jing's words made sense. The characteristic of Huaxia is that it is so vast and rich in resources. It has everything in the country and is extremely rich in resources. It is the real "promised land". (jie) risk (lie), which is why there are many explorers in the west and less in the east.

For the explorers of the East, it would take decades for them to travel in the country alone, and they may not be able to complete their travels. What else would they do? ?
But at this moment, Feng Jing wants to form an official exploration group, or a pioneering group, to go out and do things.Feng Jing's purpose is not as simple as he said, otherwise, he wouldn't say that he wants so many armors and strong crossbows. Is taking this thing out to find out information? ?This equipment is enough to have a small battle with the Huns.

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and nodded, "You're right, you have to know the enemy's situation first. If you accidentally hit a poor ghost and you won't have any resources, wouldn't it be a loss??"

However, Feng Jing said: "Your Majesty, this is not about going out to fight. The people I want don't necessarily need to be brave and good at fighting, but they all have to be clever and know how to draw. It's better to be able to quickly master foreign languages, be able to adapt to changes, and be able to read and hyphenate. "

Feng Jing put forward a series of conditions, and Zhang Budo was a little stunned.

"You want 2 people, where are you going to gather such 2 people?"

"If not, it can be taught that local officials can be taught through Taixue, but can't the walking army?"

Feng Jing asked back.

Liu Chang looked at Wang Tianqi, "Your Majesty, you still have to contribute to this matter."

"You have to worry about the school grounds, armor, and recruitment."

Wang Tianqi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that His Majesty suddenly stopped him and let himself, an unrelated person, participate in it. It turned out that he wanted to use the hands of the lieutenant to handle the business of the guest.Liu Chang looked at Feng Jing and said, "You saw it today, you said that you want to recruit troops, but most of the ministers objected. This army should be under the name of the lieutenant. Of course, you still have to do this training, and you will do things in the future. When the time comes, you negotiate directly with the lieutenant.”

Feng Jing possessed himself, "Wei."

It turned out that His Majesty had long recognized his idea, so he called Wang Tianqi early.

After everything was ordered, the two left.

Zhang Budo watched them leave, and then said: "Your Majesty, this Feng Jing is quite talented, and it is not in vain that His Majesty took the trouble to bring him out."

"Let's not talk about him. Let's talk about Shujun."

Just this month, a large number of memorials suddenly poured in from Shu County, impeaching the county governor Chen Mai.After Chen Mai's last fishing trip, the officials in Shu County have become very upright, for fear that this is fishing again, they do not dare to flatter him. , just to show Chen Mai, we are all direct ministers, not flattering villains, don't mess around!

Chen Mai's fishing really made the officials of Shu County clear and bright, and a large number of direct officials and officials emerged.

But the problem is that these people no longer dare to obey him unconditionally.

Therefore, Liu Chang's impeachment of Shu Jun also turned a blind eye.

But this month, the matter of impeaching Chen Mai for persecuting the people to rebel has continued to appear in Shangshu, and Chao Cuo couldn't sit still.

According to these people, Chen Mai deliberately persecuted the southwestern barbarians in order to obtain military merit, and then brutally suppressed them in the name of treason.

Liu Chang, who was familiar with Chen Mai, knew in his heart that Chen Mai was not such a person.

What kind of military merit did he rob? He was born the first successor of the great Han Chehou. Do you still need to do such a thing for a little military merit? ?

Zhang Budo said earnestly: "Chen Mai governs Shu County with tough laws. Whether it's building roads or carrying out other orders from temples, Shu County is the fastest. Chen Mai is a strong man and his methods are cruel. Therefore, local officials do not like him, and these impeachments may not be taken seriously."

"Didn't Chen Mai play for His Majesty?"

"No, he just wrote to me and told me that someone who refused to carry out the temple's order had been executed by him."

"There is no useful news from Xiuyi, that is, someone confronted the officials, and then Chen Mai led the army to kill these people."

Zhang Budo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Oh? What do you understand?"

"Chen Mai made the officials of Shu County clean and clear. Previously, he killed so many officials who colluded with merchants, flattered himself, and did not do practical things, so that other officials dared not get close to him. In these days, there are so many impeachments in Shu County. , Chen Mai had previously written a letter, saying that the local officials were selling their own way, deliberately contradicting themselves, and accusing themselves.”

Liu Chang couldn't help laughing. Chen Mai also took the blame for himself. When this fellow first came to power, he deliberately pretended to be a playboy. After seeing the true appearance of the ministers, he dismissed all those who had no brains to obey. I rewarded those who were able to keep their ideas against Chen Mai, and this led to the habit of the officials in Shu County to like to raise the bar. But later, when Chen Mai gave the correct order, these people also thought about it. Go bar, not very cooperative.

Chen Mai is a very impatient person, and he is very fast and resolute in his work. However, a group of gangsters under his command always seek stability and express their opinions. Even Chen Mai can't bear it.

He has raised a lot of "Zhou Chang", some of these "Zhou Chang" are "real Zhou Chang", and some are just "fake Zhou Chang" who are afraid of being regarded as "Zhang Budo" by Chen Mai. Anyway, there are too many Zhou Chang under his command. Not a good thing.

"Please, Your Majesty, send someone to reprimand Chen Mai now, accuse him of his behavior in public, suspend his salary for one year, and tell him seriously: This opportunity for promotion will no longer exist because of this incident."

Zhang Budo smiled and said: "These people are eager to let Chen Mai leave early, if they know about this, how dare they not cooperate, in the future, I'm afraid that no matter how disgusted they are in their hearts, they will have to cooperate first with gritted teeth and fight for it. Let Chen buy Gaosheng early"

Liu Chang suddenly laughed and looked at Zhang Budo approvingly, "You can do it, you can see so much in two performances??"

"I have been following Your Majesty for so long, and I have been immersed in my ears and eyes. How can this body be stained with His Majesty's talent!"

"Hahaha, then let Chao Cuo go back and criticize!"

"only!!!"

Liu Chang was in a good mood, humming a song, and swayingly came to Changle Palace.

The queen mother was chatting with Yong E, and there were two little guys lying next to each other, it was Liu Liang and Liu Ci.

With an ancestral shout, Liu Chang successfully woke the two little guys who had just fallen asleep. The two little guys began to cry. Yong E was in a hurry. Fortunately, there was a palace maid, and the two children were comforted.

Yong E took the children into the inner room, but Liu Chang just scratched his head in embarrassment.

Empress Lu looked at the stubby in front of her complexly, "What the hell did I do?"

"Cough, mum, I have accomplished two important things today!"

However, Liu Chang didn't care about his mother's disgusting eyes at all, he sat directly beside her, and said seriously: "I have always been thinking, since the establishment of my great Han, except for the war in the Huns, other times, it is all controlled by other countries. Only when the envoys of merchants and merchants come, can we know the external situation.”

"That's why I met Feng Jing and Wang Tianqi today."

"And then there's the matter of Shu County. It's played over there, and I can see it at a glance."

Liu Chang made a familiar trick for his own use, and then said: "The ministers heard it, they were full of praise, they were all stunned, and Zhou Chang worshipped three times in a row, shouting long live the great man, saying: With a king like me, why don't you worry that the big man is not happy?"

ps: Dear Zhongfu, the end of the month is coming. Please ask for a monthly pass. I heard that there is a recharge event today!

Uncle Toad's new book "Biography of Different Immortals" was released, and he deliberately offered sacrifices to ask for a monthly pass! !

There is also a new book by a friend, "I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan". There are not many people who wrote about the early Han Dynasty. Friends who like the early Han Dynasty should not miss it.
