Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 505 Family Reunion
Yong Ye stood calmly in front of the prince, even though the prince seemed extremely angry at the moment, he didn't panic at all.

Liu An stood tall on the car, looking down at him, frowning, his eyes fixed on Yong Ye in front of him, this angry look was somewhat similar to Cao Shen back then, Liu An pointed to the one in the distance who was still using The boy carrying the dirt in the cart asked, "How old is that child?"

"He is about the same age as His Highness."

"Then has he reached the age of corvee service?!"

"Never."

Yong Ye's confident answer made Liu An also a little suspicious. Ordinary officials don't have the guts to be so calm in front of him. If he asked such a question, if it was an ordinary official, he would have been frightened and trembling long ago. He knelt down and begged for mercy. What about calm?He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Who are you?"

"This is Caoqu Sima Yongye."

"Yongye, what is your relationship with my third aunt?"

"It's my aunt."

Liu An nodded, this is normal, no wonder he is still so calm when he sees himself. It turns out that he has the identity of a foreign relative. In Dahan, the status of wives other than the queen is not high, and the prince's attitude towards these wives is completely different. It depends on what kind of person the prince is. When Liu Chang was still very young, he dared to throw stones at these ladies, dare to spit, dare to abuse, and these ladies have no ability except to cry to Emperor Gao.

They have almost no status. The only one who can hold real power in the harem is the empress. Even the most beloved wife of the emperor, such as Mrs. Qi, has no way to compete with a prince.

But Liu Chang's situation here is a bit special. First of all, he has very few wives, except for the queen, there are only two wives. He values ​​these two wives very much. At the same time, the relationship between these two wives and the queen is also very good. , is a real family, Liu An and other heirs, regardless of you and me, have learned to respect them since childhood, and there is another one, the two wives, Liu Chang, who have a lot of history, the two daughters of Chehou , and they are all Dache Hou, the kind of ordinary Hou who kneel down and worship.

Therefore, even as the crown prince, Liu An put away his bad attitude a little bit and gave Mrs. Yong enough face. He asked, "Then what's going on?"

Yong Ye said seriously: "This is Liu Wu, Crown Prince of Chu. He is serving corvee here because of His Majesty's order."

He hesitated for a moment, but still told Liu An about Liu Wu's behavior in Chang'an.

After hearing that this person bullied his two younger brothers, Liu An's face became gloomy in an instant.

Different from the angry expression just now, there is no trace of anger on Liu An's face now, but a slight seriousness.

He looked into the distance, staring at the thin figure for a long time.

"Father Zhong's son."

"You have to sharpen him well, and you can't treat him differently because of his status. Father Zhong sent him here just to sharpen him. This is Father Zhong's intention. You must do your best. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Only then did Liu An nod his head, and continued to walk past here, his gaze was always focused on that Liu Wu.

But at this moment, Liu Wu was struggling to move the soil to the side and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Now he has long lost the arrogant appearance he had at the beginning. There is no difference between the children. The one named Yongye is targeting himself crazily, staring at him all the time, waiting for himself to make a mistake.
Liu Wu cried and cried, made troubles, and even had the idea of ​​suicide for a while.

But when the soldier's knife was aimed at his head, he was afraid again and cried for mercy.

If he was given another chance, he would never come to Chang'an without saying anything. This is simply not a place where people should be. The officials are cruel, the tyrants are tyrannical, and the people are miserable. After suffering such torture, he went back to move the soil again. Seeing the group of people in the distance, he just lowered his head, not daring to look at it.

Now, he has no other ideas, survive, return to Chu State, and then never leave the palace again in this life.
Liu An is still debating with Jia Yi about the promotion of business. It's not that Liu An looks down on merchants. Liu An just thinks that the current system of farming and warfare cannot be broken. The development of commerce will definitely conflict with agriculture, and even confront them. Merchants The rise of the Communist Party of China will squeeze farmers, cause some confusion, and become a big problem in the future.

Jia Yi was not angry either, and quoted his own thoughts from the scriptures.

Both of them are equally knowledgeable and eager to learn, but in terms of accumulation of knowledge and practical experience, Liu An is still no match for Jia Yi. But he was not angry in his heart, he just admired Jia Yi. It was the first time he saw such a knowledgeable person. This person not only understood Confucianism, he also understood Legalism, Huang Lao, Mohism, and farmers. He was highly educated. outrageous.

This is what Xunzi's disciples really look like!
Especially at Jia Yi's age, he is considered the youngest among many masters, but when it comes to knowledge, Liu An feels that his knowledge may have surpassed those old people in the Taixue, and even Fu Qiubo may not be this young man. opponent.

This is a bit scary. The problem is not only about talent, but also has a deep understanding of political ability. Even if he is thrown in the position of Han Guoxiang now, he may not panic, maybe he can really take over. Teacher Zhang Cang continued to implement many of his policies.

It's hateful, why is such a sage actually a father's savior! !All the talents in the world have entered the hands of my father!
Just when Liu An expressed his strong dissatisfaction through gritted teeth, Jia Yi was also very surprised.

This prince, who is not yet 16 years old, can actually have so many ideas, has his own understanding of many things, and can communicate with himself on an equal footing. At his age, he hasn't even finished reading the book. What is wrong with my king? Will there be such a son? ?Jia Yi is very familiar with the level of his own king. Does their blood have the talent to learn this thing?Still so high? ?
Jia Yi had never heard of the prince's talent. He felt that if the prince in front of him continued to govern the classics, within 20 years, Huang Lao would produce a new saint.

The two had a great time arguing, and Liu Xun was very happy.

Unlike Ruyi, Liu Xun is a good boy in the true sense, sincere, kind, upright, and eager to learn, but he is quite similar to Liu Ying. He couldn't understand many things Jia Yi and Liu An said, but he still listened He relished it, and even took a pen to record it. He thought it was a good opportunity to learn.

The most boring one is Jia Yi’s son, Jia Fan. Jia Fan doesn’t like studying very much. He prefers music and fancy clothes to reading. He is not interested in what his father and the prince are talking about. Beside my mother, I waited helplessly for this boring journey to end soon.

During the debate between the two, Chang'an was also getting closer.

As soon as he saw the outline of Chang'an, Liu An noticed the pedestrians in the distance, as if they were waiting for something.

The knights went forward to investigate and returned soon.

"It's Princess Lu Yuanchang's car."

Liu An and Jia Yi hurriedly got out of the car, and all the staff walked forward to show their respect to their elders, but Liu Le obviously didn't think so. After seeing them, Liu Le's carriage drove quickly and stopped in front of them. Le hurried out of the car.

"Meet my aunt!"

"Meet my aunt!"

"Meet my mother-in-law!"

Liu Le looked at them gently, exchanged greetings, but the whole person was still looking at the back, looking for her daughter. Soon, Zhang Yan walked out holding Jia Fan's hand. Le suddenly couldn't help crying, the mother and daughter hugged each other, sobbing softly, Jia Fan was also standing obediently behind them at the moment, not daring to speak.

The two chatted, and Liu Le finally noticed his grandson.

She fondled her grandson's face, the love in her eyes almost melted her grandson.

Compared with another timeline, the daughter who was forced to marry her uncle and died in perfect condition, and Princess Lu Yuan who died young amidst grief and anger, lived happily here.

"Mother~~~"

Jia Fan acted coquettishly, sitting in the carriage of the eldest mother, smiling all over her face.

Liu An and Liu Xun, who were riding steeds, looked at each other, and then smiled. Jia Fan's age is actually about the same as them, but compared with his peers, he looks like a child who hasn't grown up. Liu An and Liu Xun are not very willing to get in touch with him because of his delicate appearance, and keep them at a respectful distance.

Of course, Jia Fan doesn't like to contact them either, he still likes those elegant scholars in Handan who are good at singing and dancing.

Although Liu An is also very accomplished in this area, it is just an ordinary hobby for Liu An, and he does not attach as much importance to it as Jia Fan.

Jia Yi kept a straight face. He was not very happy about his son's situation, but now that his elders were around, he couldn't reprimand him.

The changes in Chang'an are huge, but Liu An is fine. Both Liu Xun and Jia Yi showed great curiosity, especially Jia Yi, who has been away from Chang'an for so long, he never thought that Chang'an would change so much. That Chang'an, this is almost another city, except for the same name, there is nothing in common.

Everyone came to the palace together, with Liu An and Liu Le present, the soldiers did not dare to interrogate them and let them go.

Back to the familiar palace, everyone has different thoughts, but the things to do are very consistent, they have to go to Changle Palace first!The emperor can meet later, but the queen mother must meet.

Liu An walked into the familiar Longevity Hall first, "Mother!!"

Empress Lu looked towards the door excitedly, and saw the great grandson who was thinking about it day and night, her eyes were full of joy. Behind Liu An, Jia Yi, Liu Le, Zhang Yan, Jia Fan, Liu Xun and others all came together one by one. Walking in, Empress Lu was very happy. Zhang Yan, Jia Fan, Liu An and others sat beside Empress Lu. Empress Lu kept stroking them, with indescribable smiles on their faces, and the happiness of their children and grandchildren. It filled the entire longevity hall, and the old man's full of laughter could be heard from a long distance away.

"Oh, Yan, I haven't seen you for many years. You don't come to Chang'an to see me either."

"This is your son?"

"Haha, she is a beauty."

Relatives whom she had not seen for a long time were sitting around her, Empress Lu smiled from ear to ear, these children were her most beloved, she stroked their heads one by one, took out some food from her sleeves, It was distributed to them. Although they are all old and have passed the age of eating snacks, they still happily accepted the reward from the old man. After eating it, even Liu Xun and Empress Lu didn't He was left out in the cold, and he was given food fairly.

Empress Lu suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is that scorpion?! Why didn't he come?!"

"Let him come over quickly!"

About half an hour later, Liu Chang walked into the Shrine Hall panting, his whole body was drenched with sweat, the clothes were tightly attached to his body, and the explosive muscles were fully exposed, making people daunting, " Mom!! I'm coming"

Liu Chang wiped his sweat, "I'm dealing with state affairs. I'm a bit late."

"Hehe, are you dealing with important matters in Shanglin Garden?"

Empress Lu said displeasedly.

But everyone hurriedly got up to pay their respects. Liu Chang first glanced at Liu An, then walked up to Jia Yi, dragged him up, and looked him up and down.

Jia Yi looked at the increasingly majestic emperor in front of him, "Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, you are finally here, I was just thinking about when you will arrive."

Liu Chang patted him on the shoulder excitedly, Jia Yi grinned in pain, Liu Chang smiled, and looked at Zhang Yan again, "My Jewish girl is already this old, what's the matter, Jia Yi didn't bully you, did he?"

"uncle!"

"This is my grandson, yes, he has the style of Liuhou!"

"Haha, you're just Xun? Yes, yes, not like a father!"

In the evening, in order to welcome them, Liu Chang set up a family banquet and asked everyone to participate.

The scale of this family banquet is relatively large, and basically all relatives are within the scope of invitation.

Empress Lu sat on the top seat, Liu Chang sat beside her, Liu Ying sat on the other side, and below that were Liu Le, two empresses Cao, two wives, Jia Yi, Zhang Yan, and even many princes, Lu Lu, Lu Lu Zhong is also here, Fanshi people, and Cao Ku's family are also here, and everyone is sitting together, having fun.

Everyone kept chatting, and Liu An also met with a few mothers first, and then a few brothers.

Liu Bo and the others were very happy, only Liu Ci rushed up, threw himself into his brother's arms, and "threatened" his brother to give him a gift.

Zhang Yan chatted happily with the ladies, and Jia Fan was chatting about Taixue with the people of Fan City at the moment.

Cao Ku, Jia Yi, and Liu Chang were all talking about Zhao Guo.

Liu Ying and the two brothers of the Lu family told anecdotes from various places.

All kinds of delicacies were placed in front of everyone, and Liu Chang had already started drinking with a flagon. Bullying and crying, he hugged Jia Fan for a while, and pulled Liu An's hair for a while, and finally Cao Shu came forward and gave this guy a few ruthless blows on the ass, and he hid in Empress Lu's arms aggrieved , speaking ill of them in a low voice.

Empress Lu was very tolerant towards her grandchildren, and when she saw Cao Shu wanting to beat her children, she tried to dissuade them.

The scene was very chaotic, but also very lively.

The young children were running around, the men were drinking and bragging, the women were sitting together and whispering, and the older children also had their own topics.

At some point, Jia Fan started to sing under the instigation of the women. In this regard, he is really talented.

Liu Chang dragged Liu Ying down to dance, and the atmosphere suddenly became more lively.

Liu Chang winked at Jia Yi, Jia Yi nodded, and the two of them walked out of the hall of longevity one after the other.

Standing outside the door, with the cold wind blowing through Liu Chang's body, Liu Chang just felt so refreshed. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright light slightly lit up the whole world. Jia Yi stood beside Liu Chang, and the two People enjoy the cold wind quietly.

Liu Chang turned his head and listened to the laughter coming from the hall.

"That's great. I haven't seen my mother so happy for a long time."

Jia Yi didn't speak.

Liu Chang said again: "Family reunion, there is nothing more gratifying than this. The greatest achievement in my life is probably to make the family harmonious and there is no barrier between each other."

Liu Chang turned around again and let out a long sigh, "I have newly established a food and goods house, and Marquis Chen will be in charge."

"I know, the newspaper said it very clearly."

"Then what do you think?"

"I believe that this should be implemented. In the Zhao Kingdom, I tried my best to attack merchants at first, but later found that this was not a long-term strategy. Therefore, I also had the idea of ​​​​promoting business. For example, I thought about the mine. Take the lead and hand it over to merchants to operate. Merchants bid, and the highest bidder will undertake the mining and pay taxes. If the temple wants to do it by itself, it will be a big problem for manpower alone. Ownership cannot be given out, but mining rights It can still be considered.”

Liu Chang nodded and asked, "Is there really a lot of minerals in Zhao?"

"Many, from Zhao State to Tang State, Dai State, and even Yan State are full of minerals, maybe not the highest quality, but definitely the most."

Liu Chang laughed softly, "It seems that Zhao is a country that sits on top of treasures. That's fine. Ruyi complains every day and cries for poverty. Now there is no reason to continue to ask for help from the temple."

"I want to keep you here."

Liu Chang suddenly said.

Jia Yi was taken aback for a moment, and soon understood the emperor's thoughts, "Shihuo Mansion?"

"Yes, Marquis Chen is a perfect candidate. However, I can tell that his illness has not recovered. I don't want to kill him. I want you to be his deputy. He makes suggestions and you do things. , when things are almost stable, he can let go and let you take care of everything."

"What about Zhao Guo? Now that mining and other things have not been carried out, who can take over my position?"

"I have a good candidate here. I just don't know if he can afford big things."

"Chao Cuo??"

"Hahaha, of course it's not him. He must not be the prime minister of a vassal state, or sooner or later the vassals and kings will be arrested in Chang'an. I am going to let Yuan An take the post. Do you know this person? He used to be in the inner court, and then followed Duke Fu has achieved quite a lot in studying Shangshu, except that he is a little younger, he is pretty good in other respects."

"If His Majesty thinks he can, then he must be able to."

Liu Chang laughed, and then quietly looked at the bright moon in the distance.

"Those people from the past want to be reunited. I'm afraid it will be impossible again, whether it's my brothers, or the Chang'an Qunxian, or the Sheren."
