Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 500 Zhao Phantom Thorns King Li
"These are the three methods His Majesty came up with?"

Zhang Cang sat in front of Liu Chang and asked suspiciously.

Zhang Cang, who was busy, suddenly got the emperor's edict, asking him to go to Houde Palace to meet the emperor immediately, Zhang Cang didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the palace, and then heard the so-called The three ways to deal with the big clan, but in Zhang Cang's opinion, none of them seemed like the policy that the emperor would think of.

The main reason is that these policies are not stupid enough. If the idea of ​​"enacting a law to bring land sales under the strict control of the government" is changed to "beheading for privately buying and selling cultivated land", it will be like the policy that His Majesty came up with. The policy looks like Some soft, too normal, not like what the emperor could draw up, but a bit like Qu Nihou's idea.

Zhang Cang could tell who proposed it by looking at the content of the letter without looking at the names of the people.

Different ministers, their ideas are often expressed in the content of the letter, some will be extreme, some will be stable, some will start from multiple perspectives, and some will take a single route, and these three ideas, Corresponding to extreme, conservative, and peaceful respectively, in Dahan, every performance must be so detailed, and the right to choose is handed over. Chen Hou is the only one who is unwilling to take the blame.

Liu Chang obviously didn't know that Zhang Cang had seen it, and he was still bragging about how he had been thinking hard day and night to come up with these three strategies, and he was still using Chen Ping's tone to describe the three methods. difference and difficulty.

"Well, Your Majesty has a very good idea, but how to implement it?"

"The three methods mentioned by His Majesty are just a general idea, but never said how to implement it in detail."

Zhang Cang said softly, with a helpless expression on his face, because he had already thought that the specific execution of this matter would definitely fall on himself. The policy, regardless of the specific implementation, is directly thrown to the Prime Minister. The original tool man is Zhou Chang, but today's tool man is Zhang Cang.

Sure enough, at the moment Zhang Cang thought about it.

Liu Chang said with a smile: "Isn't there a teacher here?"

"Actually, I seem to know the solutions of these three methods, but I just can't remember them for a while. I can definitely remember them."

Liu Chang whispered, then raised his head suddenly, staring at Zhang******** in front of him, the whole big man, only you can do this, we Xingnong are In order to feed the common people, if the cultivated land cannot be allocated to the common people, no matter how happy they are, they will still not have enough to eat. On the contrary, those big clans who are fed by us are fat and strong, and each of them has become the owner of Xiu'an Mausoleum. master! "

"Your Majesty respects me too much, what can I do."

"No, I know the teacher can do it!"

Liu Chang stared at Zhang Cang with fiery and confident eyes.

"What if I can't do it?"

"Then you have to ask my fist first. Keke, I will ask all the talents and find a way to help you complete it!"

Zhang Cang left the Hall of Houde with a bitter face, but Liu Chang was wandering in the hall. For some reason, Liu Chang was a little excited at the moment. He felt that he seemed to have touched something. If the problem is solved, the Han Dynasty will reach an incredible level, and the whole country will soar. Of course, the risk is also very huge. The land will always be the foundation of the Han Dynasty. You can never imagine how tempting the land is to the people at this moment.

If this matter is not done well, the result will be devastating. It may be that the whole big man is buried with him. Whether it is ascended or buried with him, it depends on what kind of solution to adopt.

The big man has an advantage, that is, the big man has just been established, and many things are the first time for the ministers. There are no precedents to follow, and there are not too many ancestors. Live well, change whatever you want, and have a great mind.

For the future feudal society, the great man is the ancestor, and the laws he enacted are the laws of the ancestors.

However, Lu Lu felt sorry for Zhang Cang, "Your Majesty, Xiang Zhang was busy with farming and mulberry affairs just now, and you asked him to handle this matter again. I am afraid that Xiang Zhang will be tired and unable to handle it."

Liu Chang waved his hand, "What do you know?"

"The teacher seems lazy, but he is actually a restless person. He seems to have no ambitions, but he thinks more than anyone else. He will not be overwhelmed by these things. Didn't you see that he has a child born this year? , my teacher likes arithmetic, do you think he likes mathematics itself? What he likes is just the enjoyment of solving difficult problems. I like to go out and kill enemies. The more enemies there are, the happier I am. The same is true for the teacher. It's just that his battlefield is different from mine!"

Lu Lu has long been used to his emperor making up various reasons to defend himself at any time, so he is not surprised at all.

"By the way, why hasn't Ann come back yet?!"

"Well, Your Majesty, he refused again"

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Lu who was beside him, "I will write a letter later, and you will send someone to deliver it."

"By the way, you have to send another person to Shu County."

"Huh? What are you doing in Shu County?"

"Tie someone back!"

"what??"

"I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back!!"

"let me go!!"

Liu An yelled.

His servants have all been captured at this moment, only Liu An is still struggling.

During these days, Liu Chang sent him three letters in a row, asking him to stop fighting and return to Chang'an, but Liu An refused all three times in a row, and asked him that "the father's life is not accepted when the son is away." , Zhang Xiangru, Li Zuoche and the others were also helpless. They persuaded Liu An to go back several times. Anyway, Tang Kingdom is not that far away from Chang'an.

But Liu An didn't think so. The Tang State is so good, free and unrestrained, everyone is very simple, and they are full of thoughts about beheading. They have no other thoughts. No matter what kind of policy Liu An proposes here, he will definitely pass it. , and there is no opposition, and there is no one to discipline. Liu An can do whatever he wants. Compared with Chang'an, this place is like a kingdom of heaven. If my sister and Ti Ying take it over, it will really be heaven.

He doesn't want to return to Chang'an. Once he returns to Chang'an, can Father let himself out? ?

He finally understood that my father has been sharpening himself these days, clearly because he wants to inherit the great position, so that he can go out to fight, expand the territory, and be free!

However, after Liu An rejected Liu Chang's letter three times in a row, Liu Chang let Liu An understand what is the eternal king of Tang. Stay with the prince and party members, and send them directly to Chang'an!
In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Chang's prestige is unimaginable. These are all Liu Chang's old subordinates. After receiving this order, they almost did not hesitate to act immediately. As a result, Liu An's servants were completely unaware As for Liu An, he was also betrayed by his subordinates, who took him all the way back to Jinyang and placed him in front of Zhang Xiangru.

This is the Tang Palace in Jinyang.

Zhang Xiangru looked at Liu An helplessly, and said, "Your Highness, don't blame us. This is His Majesty's order. If His Majesty wants you to return to Chang'an, who would dare to stop you?"

"But I still have a few enemies that haven't caught up!"

"Li Taiwei will go out in person to defeat these barbarians."

Looking at the two strong soldiers beside him, Liu An knew in his heart that he had no way to refuse this time. Unexpectedly, my father didn't need to fly to Tang country at all. He only needed one order, and he laughed at himself all day long Hehe, the elders, as well as those subordinates who touted their military exploits, would instantly turn their backs and arrest themselves.

Once again, Liu An had a more intuitive understanding of Father's power. Father is indeed very powerful, and his control over the place is really terrifying. His majestic prince has been here for almost two years, trying to win over his confidants. He promoted people he admired, entertained these old ministers, and did everything he could, but in the end he couldn't even resist a little, and was captured so easily.

"Your Highness."

Li Zuoche looked at Liu An with some reluctance on his face.

After Liu An arrived in the Tang Kingdom, a wave of foreign wars started, and the Tang Kingdom benefited a lot. If the prince did not leave, they could fight more. But once the prince left, they could not take the initiative to invite war, they could only be passive Carry out some defensive actions, and the strike range cannot exceed twenty miles outside the Great Wall.

Li Zuoche said tremblingly: "Your Highness, it's been a long time since the Tang Kingdom has been so carefree."

Everyone looked at Liu An reluctantly.

Looking at their eyes, Liu An felt inexplicably calmed down.

Over the years, he has become familiar with these people.

"Taiwei, don't worry, you will be able to continue to fight soon. The rest of the princes are expanding their territories. As the strongest princes, how can Tang stand by at this time?!"

Liu An said loudly.

Li Zuoche hesitated for a moment, before he said: "There is one thing I want to ask Your Highness, just"

Seeing Li Zuoche's hesitation, Liu An said with a smile: "I know what you want to say, you want me to come back earlier and continue to lead you on the expedition, right? Don't worry, I will definitely Will find a way to come back!"

Li Zuoche shook his head, took Liu An's hand, and said with some expectation: "I just want His Highness to tell the king after he goes to Chang'an, can the king come in person next time?"

Tang Guo's officials suddenly boiled.

"Yup!"

"It would be great if His Majesty could come in person!!"

Co-author, you want me to go to Chang'an to replace my father, right? ?
The smile on Liu An's face froze immediately, but he didn't say much. After staying here for a long time, he also knew Li Taiwei's character. He had to be promoted to court officer in minutes, no wonder my father kept him in the Tang country, and the number of food towns continued to increase, but the official position never changed.

Liu An left Jinyang in frustration, and the carriage headed east.

After driving for a certain distance, Liu An realized something was wrong.

"No, isn't this the way to Chang'an??"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty wants you to go to the State of Zhao, meet the King of Zhao, and return to Chang'an with Jia Xiang, Prince Zhao."

"Ah? Why do you want me to visit Uncle Third?"

"I heard that something happened to the Chinese studies in the Zhao country, and I need you to help."

"Oh"

Liu An is skeptical about this reason. Is this to let himself engage in academic debates?But isn't there Jia Xiang there?As Zhang Xiang's most outstanding disciple, Jia Xiang has extremely high academic attainments, so he still needs to help him? ?Besides, when did Father start to care so much about learning? ?
Several of Liu An's servants followed on horseback, and now they all have titles, and their mental outlook is completely different from before.

Liu An asked with a straight face, "Father suddenly asked me to go to Zhao country, what do you think is the reason?"

Feng Tang pondered for a moment, and said: "Probably something major has happened in the Zhao country, which must be resolved by the people in the temple, and His Highness is the closest to the Zhao country, so I let you go directly."

"It makes sense, but what kind of major event requires the temple to come forward?"

Feng Tang couldn't speak, and bowed his head in thought.

Ju Meng smiled and said with a grin, "Maybe it's a family matter. If it's about King Zhao's family matter, then naturally only His Majesty or the Prince can come here."

"Impossible, it's not my turn to dictate the third uncle's family affairs."

But Mao Chang suddenly said: "Your Majesty wants Jia Xiang and Prince Zhao to come back with you, it probably has something to do with them."

Everyone couldn't think of the reason for a while. After all, what can happen to Zhao Guo? Zhao Guo has no external enemies, and the interior is relatively calm. It has been developing itself with all its strength. Zhao Wang and Jia Xiang are also very close on weekdays. What is the conflict between the two? As for Prince Zhao, Liu An has also heard about it. He heard that his brother is very well-behaved and a dutiful son.

Tang State is very close to Zhao State. Starting from Jinyang, there are post stations for rest along the way. Soon, they walked into Zhao State's territory.

When the people of Zhao saw the armored soldiers of the Tang State escorting them, their eyes were full of panic, and they ran away one after another.

Tang's deterrence is not only on the grassland, but even in the Zhao country next door.

Liu An looked at the country curiously, and soon, he met many people who came to greet them. The person who came to greet them was a guest from the Zhao Kingdom. The man was surnamed Wang, and he was eloquent. Liu An followed him all the way to the court. Walking towards Handan, Liu An didn't continue to inquire about anything from the population. Anyway, it was so close to Handan, so there was no need to ask any more.

When they first came to Handan, Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi led a group of officials to meet them.

Seeing this posture, even Liu An didn't dare to be rude, got out of the car hurriedly, and walked towards his uncle on foot.

"Meet uncle!"

"Hahaha, get up, get up!!"

Liu Ruyi enthusiastically helped Liu An up in front of him, with a very friendly look on his face. Looking at his uncle's mighty face, Liu Chang remembered that people often said that he was the most like a great father, so he couldn't help but substitute his face into that of a great father. With this appearance, it is really good, mighty, and good-looking.

Liu Ruyi didn't look like something serious happened at all, with a smile all over her face, and she held Youzi's hand kindly.

Liu An looked around and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you see my sister-in-law?"

"Ahem, Jia Yi, he is busy! Let's go, let's follow the widow back to the palace!"

As Liu Ruyi said, she took his hand and walked towards the palace, and said as she walked, "I never thought that you would come to see me. I miss you very much. I am very happy that you can come. Today we Be sure not to get drunk"

Liu Ruyi's words did not seem to be fake, nor was her enthusiasm for Liu An, but Liu An always felt that something was wrong with his uncle, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

Liu Ruyi followed King Zhao to meet the queen, and of course his sons. King Zhao had three sons in total, and the crown prince was named Liu Xun.

At the banquet, Liu Ruyi entertained her son with the highest standard.

But at the banquet, there was still no sign of Jia Yi.

Liu Ruyi kindly asked about Liu An's situation, but Liu An didn't hide anything, and told his uncle what he had done these days.

The two were chatting when a soldier came in and said, "Your Majesty! Mrs. Jia is asking to see you!"

Liu Ruyi was taken aback, glanced at Liu An, and said helplessly, "Let him in."

Jia Yi walked in, he looked like a traveler, Liu An hurriedly got up to meet him, and the two sat facing each other.

Jia Yi looked at Liu Ruyi helplessly, and said quietly, "My lord, I have heard a lot these days, but you send me around to do things, but you just refuse to talk about it."

"Hey, those are just rumors! Don't worry about it!"

Zhao Wang waved his hand and said disdainfully.

Jia Yi narrowed his eyes, "Is it really a rumor? Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense."

At this moment, Prince Liu Xun couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up abruptly and said, "Father!! Don't hide, just tell me!"

"You bastard!!"

Liu Ruyi cursed, looking at the suspicious Liu An and the helpless Jia Yi in front of him, she had no choice but to truthfully say: "In the past, several of our mines used gunpowder to excavate."

"and then?"

"Then a large amount of iron and coal were discovered!!!"

Liu Ruyi suddenly became excited, "My country of Zhao is not poor, do you know that Handan is simply a city built on iron and coal, not just Handan, from Handan to Tang, to Yan, almost all counties have A large amount of iron, copper, and coal. The treasures of Zhao State are all underground! It is said that Wu State has Tongshan, Longxi has Coal Mountain, and Tang State has Iron Mountain, but Zhao State has all three of them, and the scale is extremely large what!!!"

Jia Yi sighed, "Then why did you hide it from me? And let me run around"

"Hey, am I afraid of being robbed? Your character, before we send people to open the mine, you have to write a letter to Chang'an. At that time, Tang Guo and Yan Guo will come to open the mine, and Zhao Guo is very poor. Such a good opportunity How can we miss it? We must first let our miners occupy the best place, open the mine, and then report to Chang'an!"

Liu Ruyi said proudly.

Then he hurriedly looked at Liu An and said, "You son, you can't tell your father about this matter. After the widow found out about this matter, people concealed it and sent people to dig it in private. Except for this scorpion, Not many people know yet, you have to help me hide it for a while!!"

Hearing Liu Ruyi's words, Liu An hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle, do you think there is a possibility that Father sent me here because of this incident?"

The smile on Liu Ruyi's face slowly froze.

Jia Yi patted his forehead.

"Your Majesty, the princes and kings conceal their temples, open mines, and make iron without permission. Are you planning to rebel? It's over, it's over."

Jia Yi was in despair again. The king of his family was good at everything, but he had to make some showy operations from time to time. He thought he was used to it, but he didn't expect that he hadn't.

"But how did he know? So what should we do now?"

"Now, Your Majesty, you have to eat less food and exercise more, otherwise the prison car won't be able to hold it."
