Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 43 Young Master Gao Yi! !
"When I can't kill, I think about it all day, and I'm not at peace for a moment."

"What are you talking about when you can do it, don't make a quick decision."

"Putting his own likes and dislikes above the world, indecision, and unclear rewards and punishments, what kind of emperor is he?"

Empress Lu frowned and said indifferently.

The messenger who was kneeling in front of him lowered his head and shivered. Although it was from the queen, it was only the queen who accused the emperor. It was best not to hear it.

"You go back and tell Zhao Yao, let him find a way to keep the emperor, preferably for a few more days."

"I'll wait here for a few days, and I'll go to Luoyang in person."

It has been 11 years since Liu Bang ascended the throne. At this time, both Liu Bang and Lu Zhi felt very keenly that the current confidant of the big man is not from the Xiongnu outside the Great Wall, but from the princes and kings with different surnames in China.Both of them have the idea of ​​eliminating princes and kings with different surnames, but their mentality is different.

Liu Bang loves these old brothers who have been fighting with him for many years, but he is worried that one day he will be gone, and Liu Ying can't suppress these people.He looked down on Liu Ying in his heart. He felt that Liu Ying was not an opponent of these princes and kings at all, whether in politics, strategy, or military.

He was worried that he would become the first emperor of the Han Dynasty and Liu Ying to become the second emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Ying was completely different from Hu Hai, he was afraid that the end would be even worse.

However, for these old friends, Liu Bang still has a certain kind of good intentions, and it is good to eradicate the danger.Over the years, Zhang Ao, Han Xin, he has chosen to forgive and not kill them.If Liu Bang single-mindedly wanted to kill all the princes and kings, he would not have sent his best old Tie, who was born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, to be the king of Yan.

This time, for Peng Yue, although this is not the old brother who started to fight with him at first, but there is indeed some friendship between the two, Liu Bang still did not have the heart to kill him and kept his and his clan's life.

Empress Lv is different. Compared with Liu Bang, Empress Lv is more indifferent. She wants to eradicate the roots, whether it is to clear the way for Liu Ying's future, or to consolidate the current rule of the Han Dynasty.She is not an old comrade-in-arms with these people, and she is not soft-hearted when killing them.

Therefore, Liu Bang was able to forgive Han Xin, but Empress Lv wanted to kill him.Liu Bang didn't know that Han Xin had been executed until he led the troops back. At that time, his expression was both joyful and pitiful, and his mood was extraordinarily complicated.

And Peng Yue, in the eyes of Empress Lu, is also a serious problem that cannot be eliminated. Therefore, on the premise that Liu Bang would not kill Peng Yue, Empress Lu came over ahead of time and waited here for Peng Yue. What Liu Bang did not want to do, she Let Liu Bang do it.

Liu Chang didn't know anything about it, he just thought it was his mother who wanted to take him to see his father.

Now that they did not continue their journey, Empress Lv told Chang Liu that she was tired and would rest in this county for a few days. However, during this time, many people came to see Empress Lv, so Empress Lv appointed a county official. , let the official take Liu Chang to play in the county.

Liu Chang raised his head and looked at the county lieutenant beside him.

It can be seen that in order to keep an eye on her, my mother also put a lot of effort into it. This county magistrate was a little shorter than Fan Kuai, with a bearded back and a bearded face. Standing there, he felt very oppressive.Probably because he was afraid of running away, there were several soldiers behind him, always staring at the surroundings.

"Where is your son going?"

"Just wander around the county!"

"only!"

The old man grabbed Liu Chang into the car and drove himself, slowly turning around in the county seat. This was the first time Liu Chang had traveled to cities outside Chang'an, and it was a brand new experience.

"What's this place called?"

"Zheng County."

"Is it the Zheng County in South Korea back then?"

"No."

"How many people are in the county?"

"Not to be disclosed."

"What?"

"Only local officials and superiors can intervene."

"Am I not a Shangguan??"

"Young Master is a nobleman, but not a Shangguan."

"What if my second brother comes?"

"The prince can naturally ask."

Liu Chang was immediately unhappy. Why are you discriminating against princes here? He is a prince, and I am also a prince. He can, but I can't?

This is really a very poor county town. Just wandering around the county town like this, Chang Liu couldn't even see the second carriage. He thought he could have an addiction to killing the people and punish the playboys along the way. But why can't even a dandy be seen in this county?

There are broken houses, broken roads, poor people who bow their heads and walk fast, and occasionally see a few children playing. After seeing the frame, they disappeared without a trace.Looking at the scene in front of him, the smile on Liu Chang's face disappeared. For the first time, he truly understood what the fourth brother told him.

When he questioned why the craftsmen lived so miserably, the fourth brother told him that the world is like this.

But he has never had a real understanding of all this, and now, he sees it.

The city of Zheng County does not have the atmosphere of the market at all, no one shouts loudly, and no one chooses and chooses. The people who come and go just hurriedly take the things they want to buy, pay the money, and take the invoice that is divided into two parts. leave.

Liu Chang spent several days in the county town, but his mood became heavier and heavier.

On this day, when he came to the city again, he finally encountered a sudden scene.

In a remote corner of the city, a few thin people were sitting there on their knees, and two people who seemed to be rich were pointing at them, and even dragged one of the women to leave.Liu Chang's eyes widened, good guy, grabbing a civilian girl in broad daylight? ?

When Liu Chang walked there angrily, the two were breaking apart the girl's teeth and watching seriously.

"You. What are you doing??"

The wealthy household was stunned for a moment, turned around, saluted Liu Chang, and said, "Hui noble, we are buying clerks."

The people in the county did not know who the big man who came to the county was, but when they saw that even the county magistrate of the county was following behind the child, guarding him every step of the way, they were also very afraid and hurriedly explained.

Liu Chang looked at those people and bought a servant, of course he knew what it meant. Gai Gong once told him that there was a servant and concubine in the Han law, which meant that he became a slave because of a crime, became an official slave, and used Come to reward ministers who have merit.In the Han Dynasty, there were still civil servants, that is, private slaves.

Liu Chang stared blankly at the live goods that were chosen by everyone in front of him, including men and women, as well as children similar to him.

This scene had a great impact on the young Liu Chang.

"They don't have land. If they want to live, they can only be servants. However, don't worry, son, if they save enough money, they can redeem themselves."

The county lieutenant was afraid that this unassuming son would cause another trouble, so he hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

"How much does it cost to buy them land?"

"This"

The county lieutenant counted the people in front of him and said, "One mu of farmland costs seventy, so many, I'm afraid the price is more than four thousand for the son, and there are so many ministers in the county. You can't help."

"There are many ministers in the county, and even in the world. That's the problem of the emperor and the prime minister. I saw it today but didn't help me, that's my problem!"

Liu Chang's remarks made the county lieutenant's eyes widen immediately, and he looked at this unreliable young man in front of him in surprise. Did I read it wrong a few days ago?How could this young man actually say such a righteous and Ling Ran's words? ?

"Young Master Gao Yi!!"

Liu Chang grinned and asked, "Do you think I am Gao Yi?"

"Um"

"Then lend me five thousand dollars."

"Poor courtiers"

"I'll pay you back when I go back to the county office. Are you going to be a villain who forgets justice for profit?"

This technique of moral kidnapping is very beautiful. The county captain can't wait to slap himself a few times to make you talk. He looked helplessly at the soldiers behind him. Several people got together and sent soldiers to find others. After half an hour, they finally collected more than 500 yuan.

Those servants were stunned. When Chang Liu distributed the money to them and asked them to buy arable land and cultivate them well, they trembled and cried. Some people jumped up and knelt in front of Chang Liu and kowtowed. With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, he drove away from here.

Not even a name was left for them.

On the way back, probably because he thought he had done a good deed, Liu Chang was full of joy, while the county lieutenant had a dark face and said nothing.

Back at the county office, Chang Liu couldn't wait to rush to the inner room where his mother was.

"Mother~~"

"I'll rub your shoulders."

"I'll pour water for you"

Empress Lu had a cold face, "Tell me, what happened?"

Chang Liu sat in front of her aggrieved and said, "I have never caused trouble. I went out today and saw a few civilians who were sold as slaves. I couldn't bear it, so I borrowed money from the county magistrate and gave them the money to buy land. Please. My mother lends me some money, and I will use it to repay the county lieutenant and his soldiers. As for the money you lent me, I will repay it when I have a fief.

After hearing Liu Chang's words, Empress Lu didn't get angry anymore, and didn't ask any further questions. She asked calmly, "How much did you borrow from them?"

"Ten thousand!"
