Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 486
Tang State is different from Chang'an.

In Chang'an, if you say you want to go out to fight, except for those generals and some ministers who are soldiers, the rest will definitely oppose it. What kind of militarism, the crown of the king of Jie and Zhou will be directly on your head, but In Jinyang, when you said you were going to go out to fight, everyone from the Sangong Jiuqing to the low-level soldiers screamed and screamed, wishing to go out now.

Thanks to Liu Chang, the great king, the military merit system was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Tang Dynasty. In order to resist the Huns, Liu Chang implemented the military merit system here for a long time, and trained a large number of local officials, almost all of whom were killed. Those officials in the Central Plains It's been a long time since I've fought a war, and promotions are basically based on political achievements. The Tang Kingdom is different, it's all beheaded, and it's quite the flavor of Emperor Gao when he first established the country.

Not only the ministers, but also the people. The Tang State is different from the Central Plains. It is nomadic and farming at the same time. Moreover, the territory is vast. Therefore, every time you go to war, whether you reward land or reward cattle and sheep, it is very important for the people. Good stuff, not to mention that the folks of the Tang Dynasty are mixed with Hu and Han, and they are good at martial arts. There are many people who can ride and shoot. The enemies outside the Great Wall have been depressed since the defeat of the Huns.

In this extremely militant atmosphere, Liu An proposed to expand the territory, and these ministers were really excited.

They have always wanted to expand their borders, but why, their king went to Chang'an to be the emperor, no one led them to go out to fight, and as ministers, they couldn't take the initiative to ask for war like King Yan, so they could only watch With the continuous expansion of the Yan Kingdom, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and they can only send troops to pick up leaks or something.

Now that Liu An is here, they can justifiably go out to fight.

When Li Zuoche excitedly told Liu An about his strategic vision, and put a lot of memorials in front of Liu An, Liu An was stunned.

How long have you been plotting this? ?

The Prime Minister Zhang Xiangru even resigned immediately, saying that he wanted to prepare enough food and grass for the army, and left the Tang Palace without stopping.

As for the censor who was supposed to advise the minister, he also had a serious face at the moment, and he said seriously: "Your Highness, don't worry! I will definitely supervise the battle with all my strength! Generals and officials everywhere will fight to the death!!"

Liu An suddenly gasped.

In the temples of the Tang Dynasty, there were no rules at all. The two generals were arguing over who should be the vanguard. In the end, they came up with a way to fight justly. One of the generals was even a barbarian with deep eyes and high nose. People don't talk nonsense, they set up the driver directly in the palace, and scuffled together.

The censor Zhu Jian didn't even look at them, and he was still seriously telling Liu An about the situation of the officials and generals in various places.

Liu An listened to his advice, but looked at the two fierce men fighting from time to time.

And Liu An's four servants stood beside Liu An, watching this scene in astonishment.

Feng Tang looked a little surprised, Mao Chang shook his head in despair, Zhang Fu's face was calm, and Ju Meng's eyes were bright.

Those two fierce men finally decided the winner and loser, and the Yuezhi general who won was going to be the vanguard. When he came to challenge Liu An happily, Liu An found that he couldn't even call out his name. When the name came up, Liu An pursed his lips, and could only smile and said: "The general is really a strong man! With a strong man like you, I can rest assured to wait for your triumphant return!"

Feng Tang blinked aside.

Liu An woke up immediately.

"Come here, reward the general with a hundred gold!"

The general was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again. Liu An asked him about his family, but he was embarrassed to ask his name. Liu An felt a little frustrated. The names of these Yuezhi people were really hard to remember. How did Father remember them? What are the names of these people?I can still become good brothers with them, why can't I remember it.

The entire temple was filled with a sense of rudeness and ease. This kind of atmosphere was somewhat incompatible with Liu An. Liu An had always been a relatively quiet and unsmiling person. He looked at Li Zuoche beside him and said seriously: "Taiwei , I have four servants who can be of great use."

"You can let them lead troops to go out."

Liu An pointed to the four servants behind him. Li Zuoche was very pleased with the fact that he was forcibly placed in the army to gain military merits. He deserved to be the son of the king. Not only placed in the army, but even placed directly in the temple.

Feng Tang and the others were a little surprised, but didn't say much.

It wasn't until the end of the court meeting, when the crowd walked out of the Xuanshi Hall in twos and threes, that the four servants knelt down in front of Liu An.

"Your Highness, this is."

Feng Tang is not young anymore, but until now, he has no military achievements, and his title is not high. At this age, he is a servant of the prince. When the prince formally takes power, I am afraid that no matter how ambitious he is, he will not have the ability to come. It was realized, but now, Liu An suddenly wanted him to lead the army, and a flame ignited in the heart of the aged Feng Tang, but at this moment, he was a little at a loss, not knowing what to say, what to do .

Liu An said seriously: "I know that you are a person with great ambitions, but you just don't have the opportunity to display your talents. This time, I will make you the captain of the chariot and rider of the Tang Dynasty, and let you lead an army alone to make contributions. !"

"I don't know, can I still eat?"

Feng Tang laughed. He stood up, bowed to Liu An to salute, took a few steps back, drew out his sword, and immediately began to dance swords in the hall. His sword skills were fierce, fast, and his body was flexible. The shot, the cold light, Ju Meng was a little stunned, Mao Chang couldn't help but nodded in praise, but Zhang Fu was still expressionless, but there was still some respect for Feng Tang in his eyes, he I don't know if I can be so strong at Feng Tang's age.

When Feng Tang retracted his sword, he didn't even catch his breath, he was extremely calm.

"Okay, I'm not mistaken, then I invite you to fight! Since you are going to fight, you can't be weaker than the other generals of the Tang Kingdom, you need to get some military merits!"

"only!!!"

Liu An immediately looked at his other three family members, the first being Mrs. Zhang.

Liu An doesn't need to say much about Mrs. Zhang, who doesn't talk too much. This guy had served in both the North and South Army before. If Liu An hadn't asked him to come to him, he might have been a mid-to-high-ranking officer by now. Yes, and this guy is bold and reckless, with a bad personality, suitable for being a general outside, but not inside.

Liu An was still a little worried about Ju Meng and Mao Chang.

Ju Meng was too young to know how to fight, and Mao Chang, a paranoid Confucian scholar, seemed not good at fighting in Liu An's eyes.

Feng Tang saw Liu An's hesitation, and said, "Your Highness, you can ask Mao Chang to be my lieutenant general, and Ju Meng to be Zhang Fu's lieutenant general."

Zhang Fu was taken aback, looked at Jumeng, but didn't say much, just nodded.

Mr. Zhang rarely talks when he doesn't drink, but he will definitely curse when he drinks.

It is also very unfriendly to get along with colleagues on weekdays, and always offend them.

This is a person who is stricter than others and more lenient than himself.

Liu An looked at the excited family members in front of him, and said with a smile: "I can't stay here in Jinyang either, I want to fight with the Taiwei and see the scenery beyond the Great Wall!"

Mao Chang turned pale with shock, "Your Highness! How can this be done?! As a prince, how can you go to fight in person??"

Liu An was immediately displeased, "Why not?"

"At the beginning, my eldest father, as the emperor, went out to fight, and my grandfather also went out to fight. Why can't I do it? My grandfather only led a dozen or so knights, and he dared to charge and kill the army of Dian and the king of Dian. Now that I have tens of thousands of troops from the Tang Kingdom, isn't it better than the dozen or so knights around my father?!"

Mao Chang couldn't refute immediately, and hurriedly looked at Feng Tang who was aside.

But Feng Tang didn't intend to persuade Liu An, he just nodded and said, "As a prince, you must know soldiers."

"What if something happens"

"No problem, with the Taiwei and the generals around, nothing will happen."

Mao Chang let out a long sigh and could only admit it.

"Hahaha~~~"

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Buyi immediately laughed happily.

Although I don't know why His Majesty is so happy, but if His Majesty is happy, it must be a good thing.

Liu Chang handed the memorial to Zhang Buyi, "Look, that Zhuzi is going to conquer the outside of the Great Wall himself. He said that he has summoned more than [-] troops to attack the tribes outside the Great Wall. He has finally grown up and can go out in person. Well, sure enough, it is right to let him go to Tang, only in Tang can he learn how to be a wise king!"

Lu Lu couldn't help but want to complain, co-authoring a wise king has to be military, right? ?

For the change of his son, Liu Chang is very happy. Only the battlefield can temper people the most. After he walks around the battlefield, he will grow up. After he returns, all the big and small things can be handed over to him Now that I have done it, I can lead the cavalry, bring the gunpowder, and go to the side of the body, to chop off the enemy's head, break through every city I see, and enter the most beautiful beauties!
Liu Chang is really a little excited. It seems that he has a long-cherished wish for many years and finally has a chance to realize it.

This guy will be able to come back from the Tang Dynasty in about a year. At that time, he will be able to do what he really wants to do as he pleases!

Just when the emperor was happily dreaming about the future, Zhang Buyi couldn't bear to interrupt him.

What is the virtue of the Tang State, Zhang Buyi knows best, and why the emperor is so happy now, he is also very clear, he is afraid that the prince will go to the Tang State this time, will be assimilated by those Tang people, and will not want to return to Chang'an like His Majesty. Staying in the Tang Dynasty with all your heart and soul, going out to fight for fun.
However, Zhang Buji would not say such disappointing words. If such a thing really happened, he would definitely find a way to solve it for His Majesty!

Liu Chang took the next memorial, watched it for a while, and laughed again.

"Xia Houying wrote a letter, saying that he wants me to send them some gunpowder!"

Lu Lu was a little surprised, "But how did Xia Houying know about the gunpowder?"

"How could Xia Houying need this? My teacher clearly wanted it, but he just didn't want to ask for it. You know, I asked Xia Houying to write to ask for it. Hahaha, how can the teacher's tricks be hidden from me? I can see through it at a glance!"

Liu Chang said proudly: "Even the teacher wants to ask for the things I made!"

"No doubt, send someone to deliver some to the Marquis of Huaiyin!"

After explaining a few things, Liu Changfang rushed towards Changle Palace.

It's not that he asked the Queen Mother for help, it's just that his eldest sister is here, so he has to go and have a look.

When he arrived at the Shrine Hall, Cao Shu and the others were sitting around Liu Le. Liu Le was hugging little Liu Ye and talking to everyone with a smile. It was not easy for Liu Le either. In the cold winter, Zhang Ao, Liu Chang's sister-in-law, passed away. He became Xuanping Marquis, and Zhang Yan also inherited his title and became the new Xuanping Marquis of the Han Dynasty. This incident dealt a big blow to Liu Le.

Since Zhang Ao's death, Liu Le has become a little taciturn, and the servants can occasionally hear her talking to herself in the house, and she doesn't go out very much, which is really scary.

Fortunately, Zhang Ao left behind a concubine's son named Zhang Huo, who was still very young, and stayed by Liu Le's side, so that she would not be so lonely.

Empress Lu also wrote a letter, hoping that Liu Le could move directly to Chang'an to settle down, but Liu Le also declined.

This is the first time Liu Le returned to Chang'an after Zhang Ao's death.

"Big sister!!!"

Liu Chang grinned and stood in front of Liu Le with a silly smile. Liu Le was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but tears fell first. Liu Chang panicked and sat beside Liu Le in a hurry, "Eldest sister Ah? Who bullied you?? Why are you crying? Could it be that Grandma scolded you again?"

"Auntie is confused now, she will scold me for being so wise, so don't take it to heart!"

Listening to Liu Chang's nonsense, Liu Le couldn't even cry, and laughed out loud.

Empress Lu pursed her lips, but did not reprimand Liu Chang.

Liu Le scolded: "Zhuzi, what are you talking about? I am half a hundred years old, and even my grandson has already started studying. Can grandma scold me?"

"That's not good, my mother said that I'm seventy and she's going to beat me up!"

Liu Le laughed, "You deserve it! You deserve to be beaten!"

The beautiful and charming elder sister at the beginning has become a little kind at the moment, her face is full of traces carved by the years, without the vitality and irritableness of the past, especially in the past two years, perhaps brought about by Zhang Ao's death. The blow made the eldest sister feel old, and she spoke like a mother, not in a hurry.

Looking at the eldest sister, Liu Chang woke up instantly.

I seem to be 30 years old.

"The days go by so fast"

He reached out and stroked his beard.

Liu Le didn't mention the matter of her lover anymore, but just teased the little guy in her arms, and gently chatted with Empress Lu about the past. Now that she is getting older, she doesn't have the kind of love she had when she was young to Empress Lu. Alienation and awe, the words are very calm, and the same is true for Empress Lu. The two are like a pair of friends, not a mother and daughter. Cao Shu and the others are surrounded by them, listening to their interesting stories, listening with gusto.

Only Liu Chang was not very happy.

"Mum, do you remember? When Chang was about the same age as Bo, he already started spitting on Daru's face!"

"That's right, Mao Heng was the one who was invited, and he still covers his face when he sees the chief."

"Once he urinated in my father's wine cup, and was beaten half to death by my father, do you remember?"

"Remember, when you just came back, your father held a banquet"

Cao Shu and the others were stunned when they heard this, while Elder Liu blushed and expressed strong protest against their behavior of exposing the old truth.

"Father has been tossed miserably by this scorpion. Every time my father holds a banquet, this scorpion will grab my father's meat. Every time my father teaches him, he will find a way to retaliate and throw stones at my father." I remember Mrs. Cao was hit once, and my father chased him in the middle of the night angrily, all the way to Jiaofang Hall."

"That's right, this guy sprinkled water in front of the bedroom for skating, and your father fell down and lay down for six whole days. Every day he kept telling me that he wanted to kill this scumbag."

Listening to what they said about the past, Liu Chang couldn't help frowning. He couldn't remember some things clearly, and it seemed that he did them when he was very young. As the two of them narrated, these memories Slowly waking up, Liu Chang couldn't help laughing.

Cao Shu was a little surprised. Every time Liu Chang bullied Liu An, he would always say, that's how your elder father treated me back then.

But now it seems that this is pure fart.

Co-authored by myself, this guy bullied his father when he was young, and bullied his son when he was old. He has been a top bully since he was a child! !

Liu Chang reminded: "Ahem, these things are all things that happened when I was young, so you can't say it in front of the child."

"Compared to you, your child is already very well-behaved!"

When he came out of the Shou Palace, Liu Chang frowned tightly, looking at the endless palaces, feeling a little melancholy suddenly, Liu Chang just walked all the way, unknowingly, when he looked forward again , has come to the ancestral temple.

The soldiers guarding the ancestral temple hastily stepped aside and lowered their heads.

Liu Chang walked into the temple with strides, looking at the spiritual tablet placed on top, Liu Chang hesitated for a long time, then leaned against the wall of the temple and sat down directly, with his head bowed.

"When I was young and ignorant."

"It would be great if I could see you again."

Liu Chang leaned his back against the wall a little rudely, without looking at the spiritual tablet, and said to himself: "It's really difficult to be an emperor. Things can't be finished, one after another, the people can't eat enough, disasters It’s even more continuous. I really wanted to create the prosperous world I told you about. But I’m already 30 years old now, and I don’t know if I can see that day.”

"I'm not like you. I made a start and left everything to my children and went to enjoy myself."

"I think the current solution is to obtain enough resources from the outside and use them internally. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve prosperity just by relying on ordinary methods. You have created such a big empire, and I can't lose it. your face."

Liu Chang turned his head sideways and looked at the spiritual position.

"It would be nice if I could see you again"

The wind blew into the ancestral temple, gently blew across Liu Chang's body, and gently blew his hair.

As if a father caresses his son.

ps: Is there a group of sages who can make a current map?Including the vassal states, then foreign countries, and the Huns, the more detailed the better, the old wolf's drawing skills are really poor, so he can only turn to the sages for help.
