Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 424: No Father Again
Huaxia also has a long history of espionage warfare. In the unearthed documents of Qin State, you can see records of officials arresting spies of Chu State.

At that time, the Qin State also sent a large number of "special agents". These people disguised themselves and infiltrated various countries to obtain information for the Qin State. They were also responsible for bribing officials, assassinating and sabotaging other affairs. After the unification , these warriors of Qin country gradually lost their role.

Today, Feng Jing's ideas have been practiced by the Qin state long ago. Of course, I am a great Han, a country of benevolence and righteousness, and I definitely cannot follow the example of violent Qin. If there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental.

In fact, Chang Liu was quite concerned about this matter.

Today's big man, the neighbors who are close to him have basically been beaten, or are being beaten, and those who are far away, the big man can't directly launch the expedition, Liu Chang has this idea, but the big man seems to be a little unable to carry it. .

If you think about it, you know that the consumption of transporting grain is so huge nowadays, and the cost of transporting it from Liang Guo to Chang'an has made the officials feel extremely distressed. If it is transported from Liang Qi to the Western Regions and to Liaodong, it will be a huge amount of money. The number is 3 people, and the food consumption on the road may be worthless.

Therefore, when things such as galloping and water transportation have not yet been implemented, these pedestrian troops are the best means.

They can help the big man to investigate the situation outside the frontier, so that the big man will not be passive like a blind man, which can facilitate future attacks and indoctrination, of course, they can also perform some special tasks to win over and divide the forces outside the frontier, etc. In short , Liu Chang still has high hopes for these people.

"Your Majesty, if something goes wrong with the people you personally selected, you will be responsible."

Liu Chang gave Wang Tianqi a very kind smile.

But Wang Tianqi couldn't smile.

"Your Majesty. This time, we have recruited 3000 people. How are you doing?"

"I told you long ago! These people are to be entrusted with important responsibilities, they must be from good families, to find out their identities, they can't be involved too much, you're good, no one will be rejected, everyone will be arranged inside. If you are afraid of offending others, aren't you afraid of offending me?"

Liu Chang frowned, Wang Tianqi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these people selected by this minister are all good family members from all over the world, and they are absolutely loyal to His Majesty. If anything happens, this minister is willing to bear it!!"

Liu Chang looked at this guy in surprise, how did this fellow suddenly become so brave? ?Are you so confident in yourself? ?

Since Wang Tianqi said so, Liu Chang stopped beating him, just said "accurate".

Feng Jing couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, these people should be taught by ministers. Why should Wei Wei be trained? Although Wei Wei is good at fighting, he is a general after all. How do you know this?"

Liu Chang was very displeased, "This is Marquis Qu Ni's idea, why don't you tell him in person?"

Wang Tianqi tugged at Feng Jing's sleeve, and Liu Chang continued: "You can teach them a lot of knowledge, but Wei Shang can teach them the most important thing, let them learn how to save their lives! How to survive! Just stay on the school grounds Studying, not going out to practice, what role can the marching army have?"

"Even so, you should first teach in Chang'an for half a year, and then."

Wang Tianqi finally couldn't help it and cleared his throat.

Feng Jing did not accept his affection, but asked rudely, "If the prince has anything to say, just say it."

Wang Tianqi was helpless and had to say: "Actually, you don't have to worry, Wei Shang was responsible for contacting the warriors among the Xiongnu from the beginning. In this regard, he is quite accomplished, otherwise, Marquis Qu Ni would not let him take charge of this matter. ."

Feng Jing was a little surprised, "Why don't I."

Immediately he reacted, this kind of thing will definitely not let too many people know, and he has only just entered the power core of the temple
Liu Chang laughed disdainfully, "All day long, boasting, boasting, and rashly commenting on things that you don't know, how should such a person be dealt with?"

Feng Jing looked ashamed and was speechless.

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, the two of them left.

After Feng Jing left, Chang Liu hurriedly dragged Lu Lu over, "Was Wei Shang really responsible for contacting the warriors among the Xiongnu?"

Lu Lu was stunned, you don't know about co-authoring? ?
"Your Majesty, you don't know, how can I know. However, the prince is a cautious person, he has also fought against the Xiongnu, and he has made great achievements in battle, so he should not lie."

Liu Chang nodded, it should be so.

Before Liu Chang could think too much, Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang, came to the palace with the latest information and the news prepared by the provincial governors. With one hand dragging his side face, the other hand casually opened these things in front of him, his eyes were blank, as if he was just walking in a pomp, and anyone could see that he had no intentions.

Fortunately, Liu Zhang is quite reliable. Sometimes, he will come to remind him at the meeting.

"Your Majesty, this memorial is about Changsha."

"Changsha Xiang Guanying summoned the disciples, and there were many brave warriors, and arranged for them to enter the frontier army."

Liu Chang yawned and said indifferently, "You are still young, I don't know, these old men all like to keep doormen, they all like to do this, they all worship that Lord Xinling! I don't know which bad thing it is. This is the first of its kind.”

Liu Zhang, who was even older than Chang Liu, pursed his lips, but didn't say much.

"Father Zhong, do you need me to send someone to let him dismiss the disciples?"

Liu Chang shook his head, "Forget it, because this matter deals with Guan Ying, the other ministers who are the supporters must also deal with it, otherwise it is unfair that these people are old, and if they have made great contributions, let them support them. Let's play, you can send someone to make Guanying pay attention to the size."

"only!"

Liu Chang didn't say much to these old guys who had retained the legacy of the Warring States Period.

Next, Liu Chang looked at the report sent by the Inspector of Zhao State with great interest.

"Hahaha~~~"

Liu Chang suddenly laughed, and Liu Zhang was taken aback.

Liu Chang pointed to the content of the record, covered his stomach and said, "Look at this fellow, hahaha, he has been insulting me in front of the prefect, I still think this fellow has good guts, but I didn't expect it, so it was this guy. The servant didn't even know that the Inspector would record his words and deeds!"

"I actually fought with such a thing for so long, fighting wits and courage. Saying it out will damage my prestige! It will damage the face of the royal family!"

Liu Chang shook his head, deeply ashamed.

Liu Zhanggang grinned, but quickly held back. This is his own Sanzhong father. As a junior, no matter how funny he is, he can't laugh.

"This is the importance of grandma, you see, grandpa gave him such a face, and grandma gave him this wisdom. It's okay to look at it on weekdays, but every now and then you have to do something stupid. , no, I have to let this guy have a long memory. Get the pen and ink!"

Just as Liu Chang picked up the pen and was about to write, a cry came from outside the door.

The smile on Liu Chang's face suddenly solidified.

"Your Majesty~~~"

When Liu Yingke cried and knelt in front of Liu Chang, Liu Chang already understood in his heart.

Liu Zhang immediately burst into tears.

Even with Lu Lu and other valetes, they all knelt on the ground and cried, and the cry suddenly enveloped the entire Hall of Houde.

For some reason, Liu Chang hated the cry.

"Cry! Cry! Cry! What are you crying for?!"

At this moment, Liu Chang seemed to be possessed by Zhang Wenyuan, and he shouted angrily, causing everyone to stop crying.

Looking at Liu Yingke who was crying silently, Liu Chang pulled him up.

"Father Zhong is gone?"

Liu Yingke just cried and nodded.

Liu Chang sighed and hugged the brother in front of him tightly.

"Don't cry any more, wipe away your tears and return to Chu country. Your grandmother, younger siblings, all need your comfort. Father Zhong, who saw through life and death very early on, doesn't care about it at all. If you can manage Chu State well, he will be proud of you."

"I'll arrange the frame for you!! Hurry up and arrange!!"

"only!!"

Liu Chang took Liu Yingke's hand, and the two walked out of the hall together. On the road, Liu Chang was still comforting Liu Yingke.

"Don't be too sad, we will meet sooner or later!"

"I must make some achievements, and I will have face to face in the future. I will send someone to handle the affairs of Chu and Father Zhong's funeral. You don't have to worry!"

"Brother. I see."

Liu Yingke didn't even bother to compare the ages of the two at this moment. Liu Chang's words gave him a great sense of security, just like his brother.

"go Go!"

"Master, don't act like a woman!"

In the past few days, Sima Jizhu is very happy. After the news of his release from prison came out, many friends came to visit.

"Just out of Tingwei, is there a police officer?"

"An? Your Excellency also knows that I have a good apprentice?"

With such remarks, the friends who came to visit could not help but wonder if he had been detained in Tingwei for too long, and his mind had been shut down. Who asked about your apprentice? ? ?

However, they really haven't seen this old man so happy for a long time. He took the words of his disciple and proudly showed it to his old friends.

Most of these old friends of his are sages who are reluctant to go to work, and have been engaged in various industries. Straight to the heart, isn't this what the old man made up to fool himself?But looking down, I see a lot of parts about practical application. This is not the style of Sima Jizhu, and it seems that it is not written by him.

Friends scrambled to read it and were amazed.

"Where is your great disciple? Why didn't he come to see us?"

Sima Jizhu shook his head, "These days, it's not very convenient. He has a funeral at home and can't go out."

Several people nodded, all showing understanding.

"Whose child is it?"

Sima Jizhu pointed to the sky and said, "It's the direct son of this family. At the age of twelve or thirteen, his knowledge is quite good!"

The friends looked at the sky in surprise, then realized something, and their faces were shocked.

"Isn't it Prince An?"

"Exactly."

Several people shook their heads again, this fellow is really lucky, to be able to get such an apprentice, looking at the faces of these people, Sima Jizhu was even happier, he said: "Don't worry, everyone, bring him another day. See you all, and let him ask you about your knowledge. You are all sages in Chang'an, and when I meet such an outstanding disciple, how can I teach him with the words of a family?"

The sages looked suspiciously at Sima Jizhu, not knowing what this fellow wanted to do.

"I know you have some books at home."

The sages are very envious of Sima Jizhu at this moment. How can they easily take out the books? In the end, it was Sima Jizhu who bled a lot. On the condition of many of his own treasures, he let these people take out their own books, and I am willing to inform Prince An of the oral part in person.

Just as they were busy, there was a knock on the door.

Sima Jizhu stood up suddenly, "Could it be that my beloved disciple is here??"

He hurriedly went to open the door, and the rest of the great sages naturally did not dare to sit, and got up quickly, after all, the other party was still the prince.

Opening the door happily, seeing the people outside the door, the smile on Master Sima Ji's face suddenly solidified.

Wang Gao gently stroked his beard and stood outside the door.

"Sima."

"boom."

Lord Sima Ji closed the door and returned to the group of sages with a disappointed face.

"Who's outside the door?"

"Probably lost poultry."

The knocking on the door stopped, and then became urgent again. Lord Sima Ji just asked the disciple to open the door. Wang Gao pushed the disciple in front of him away, and walked in front of these people in a few steps. Knowing him, they got up one after another and called him a prince, but Sima Jizhu completely ignored him.

The battle between the various schools is fierce, and sometimes heresy is more hateful than heresy.

Although Huang Lao is messy and contains a lot of things, there are still theoretical factions and practical factions inside. Because both sides have a strong tolerance, their relationship is much better than those of the French and Confucian factions. If you want to make a move or quarrel, it still exists.

Wang Gao opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you recently set up a nest in the house, and all the homeless livestock came to stay here. You have been in contact with livestock for a long time, and you can't tell the difference between people and livestock."

Hearing this sentence, the faces of the sages present also turned ugly. However, they didn't like to argue, so they chose to live in seclusion. Facing the prince's attack, they didn't have any thoughts of arguing. They just resigned and left.

Sima Jizhu looked at Wang Gao and said, "Yes, I heard that you are coming and built a nest in advance. I heard people who are good at raising livestock say: There is a very simple reason to distinguish between livestock and people. Those who are invited in, the livestock does not know the etiquette, and they break in, so they can distinguish."

"you!!!"

Wang Gao gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, but he held back.

"I came to see you today for something important."

"It must be because of the prince."

Wang Gao didn't say a word, until those sages left, he sat down and said displeasedly: "It's you, who will hang out with these scumbags of the Five Elements, the Kanyu Family, and the Jianju Family, these people What ability do you have to be in the same room as me?"

Sima Jizhu asked very simply: "Please tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Gao said: "I know that you don't like me, and I don't like you either. All day long, I don't study those illusory knowledge, or I mix up with these unlearned things. To support myself, but since the prince has recognized your knowledge and wants to follow you to learn, then I must come to you."

"The prince is my disciple of Huang Lao, not yours!"

"Now that various schools are rising, I am gradually declining. If I don't improve, sooner or later, like those people just now, I will completely decline."

"Prince is Huang Lao's hope, and we need to put aside our prejudices temporarily and help us together."

The prince said his intentions.

Sima Jizhu did not refute, but said calmly: "As long as you don't humiliate my friend, I have no prejudice against you."

"it is good!"

"One more thing, Di Bao, do you know? That Uncle Fu Qiu is too deceiving, and now the scholars in Chang'an have been bewitched by him, reading Confucian newspapers, but waiting to see our Huang Lao's jokes. Inside, you are the only one who is the best at arguing, I want to invite you to take charge of this matter and defeat Uncle Fu Qiu!!!”

Sima Jizhu smiled, "It's just an exchange of knowledge, why do you need to compare a winner or loser?"

"Besides, Bo Fu Qiu is very knowledgeable, and I am not his opponent."

Wang Gao didn't believe it, "If others say that, I still believe it, but you, who are famous for your eloquence and knowledge, can't argue against Uncle Fu Qiu?"

"If I lose, it's the whole matter of Huang Lao, you have to think about it!"

At this moment, Liu An was sitting in the Changle Palace, obediently persuading the Queen Mother.

The bad news came too suddenly.

The King of Chu died.

In fact, the queen mother highly values ​​this uncle. The queen mother just doesn't like Liu Bang, and she is very polite to the old lady and even Liu Bang's brothers and sisters.

The king of Chu was elegant and eager to learn, and knew great rites. First, he was in charge of the southern kingdom for Liu Bang. When Liu Bang just died, he assisted the queen mother to balance the situation in the south, and was deeply loved by both Liu Bang and Lu Zhi.After learning of the death of the King of Chu, Empress Lu was silent for a long time. Although she did not cry, her whole person became a little sad.

Liu An stayed by his eldest mother's side all day long. Liu An felt very uncomfortable when the eldest father Zhong died.

Before getting to know that grandfather Zhong, he always felt that all the elders in his family were illiterate, let alone learned, it was difficult to find those who had finished reading a book of The Analects.

The second uncle and the fourth uncle were the only ones with a little talent. The two of them were fine, they were not proficient, but they had some knowledge, but it was really hard to say about the other Zhongfathers.

It is a pity that such a learned father Zhong passed away early.

Liu An really wanted to see him again.

"Mom, don't be sad anymore, eat something~"

Liu An's coquetry made Empress Lu feel a lot better, she rubbed Liu An's head, "I'll follow your mother back without any problems, I can't delay your studies!"

Liu An nodded heavily, but Empress Lu said to Cao Shu, "Remember to accompany him more, and don't let him drink too much wine."

Liu An said confidently: "Mom, Grandpa will be fine, these days, whether it's mourning, formulating posthumous titles, or assigning titles to the sons, Grandpa handles it all himself, and there is not even a hint of sadness on his face. .It's a real man! He understands the impermanence of life and death, and the eldest mother has to imitate him, but she can't be sad."

Empress Lu fell silent and did not speak.

When Liu An took Cao Shu's hand and returned to the Hall of Houde together.

I just saw a mess in the hall.

The tiger-like grandfather was so drunk that he slumped on the ground, leaning against the beams and pillars, and beside him there were many jugs with a strong smell of wine.

Cao Shu was shocked, and hurried forward, trying to help Liu Chang, shaking several times, Liu Chang slowly opened his eyes.

"Long? Long? How are you?"

Liu Chang stared blankly at Cao Shu, and the two lines could not help shedding tears.

Looking extremely aggrieved.

All I could hear was a deep cry in his voice.

"shu"

"I have no father"
