Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 529 Don't pick up things on the road, don't close the door at night

"Mother."

Liu An cried out in a low voice.

Cao Shu glanced at him, and Liu An looked at the troubled Father, and asked in a low voice, "Why does Father look a little unhappy today?"

"It's about the temple."

Liu An nodded, and couldn't help speeding up his meal. My father is usually very good, but once he is in a bad mood, getting along with him will become a very tortured thing. My father always likes Spilling his anger on the people around him, at this moment, he would dislike everyone. As Liu Chang's son, he was even at risk of being beaten and scolded. Liu An was fine. At this age, my father had already I don't beat him much anymore, but he can't stand just scolding.

Sitting beside Liu Chang, Cao Shu comforted her, "It's rare for the whole family to have dinner together. If there's anything bothering you, you might as well think about it later."

Liu Chang shook his head, "You don't know. That Fu Qing will provoke me now. I didn't even ask for it. He has already done it. If this continues, how can I sharpen him?"

Cao Shu laughed, "Doesn't this mean that His Majesty has tempered him? If Your Majesty really hates that guy so much, why would you help him when he is lonely?"

"Oh, I made the move because of Yangling Jinghou. Jinghou has made countless achievements, both civil and military, illustrious military exploits, and extraordinary martial arts. Do you want me to watch his prodigal son sell all his property? It's you, my lord." If you help me out, you'll be fine, and I'm arranging a marriage, and looking for someone to treat a disease, and I don't know, but I think I'm a benevolent monarch!"

Although Liu Chang has a kind heart, he is not so delicate. He is responsible for repaying money and arranging official positions, and the queen is responsible for the rest. However, the queen is all done in the name of the emperor, so outsiders don't know. .

Fortunately, this Fu Qing was not completely bad. After receiving the emperor's kind treatment, he cried bitterly and knelt in front of his father's grave for three days and three nights. When he came out again, he was completely different. No matter how difficult the job or place Liu Chang arranged for him, he gritted his teeth and went to do it. He failed again and again, and was cut down again and again. More than 600 yuan was cut in two years, all because he failed to fulfill the emperor's request.

After such a long time, Fu Qing's Shiyi no longer decreased, and now, his Shiyi once again has more than 3000 households, which has surpassed the [-] households that his father got when he first founded the country.

In these years, people always talked about the merits of the emperor, but never thought about the merits of the empress. During the years when Liu Chang was in power, Cao Shu appeased the entire harem, especially Liu Ying's large group of people, making the harem There has never been any trouble, and at the same time, I frequently meet with the family members of the heroes, and always send people to send gifts to the family members of the heroes during festivals.

Solve some private affairs for domestic ministers, such as husband and wife discord, children disobedient, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, etc., because of her gentle and delicate personality, she is deeply loved by everyone, and she often goes out for activities, except for these ministers In addition to them, she also cared about the situation of the people in the country. When the river flooded, she called on the families of those heroes to carry out disaster relief eleven times.

Now that Empress Lu is getting old, Cao Shu can do more and more, without so many restrictions in the early days, and Empress Lu does not object to her daughter-in-law's behavior. In Empress Lu's eyes, the empress should be the emperor's greatest help , if you can't help, what do you want the queen to do?
"Isn't this what His Majesty asked me to do?"

"I just told you not to let their family starve to death!"

Liu Chang said angrily, and then said: "You didn't see his expression, full of pride and arrogance, just making fun of me for being powerless against him! Sooner or later, I will throw him somewhere again!"

As he was talking, he saw Liu An eating up the food in front of him like a cloud, and he ate it very quickly.

Liu Chang, who was upset in his heart, immediately vented his anger. He scolded displeasedly: "You bastard! Is Shihuo Fu hungry for you?! Eating so fast, you don't want to stay with your family at all Together?"

Liu An was taken aback, lowered his head, and quickly slowed down his eating speed.

"Look how popular you are, how can you look like a real man! At your age, I can eat two buckets of rice!!"

Liu An understood in his heart that he had become a thorn in my father's side. No matter what I did, I would be scolded. I had to find a way to leave quickly. When my father was distracted from talking to my mother, He looked around, and immediately looked at Liu Ci, who was gnawing on the bone with a face of enjoyment. Liu Ci and Liu Liang were two twins sitting together. They were exactly the same in appearance and height.

But Liu An can tell who is who at a glance, not only Liu An and the others, but also the soldiers outside the door can easily tell, the one who droops his head, looks around pitifully, and wants to eat his hands from time to time, is it? Liu Liang.

It was Liu Ci who was holding the mutton bone, enjoying it, gnawing on the meat bit by bit, and even squinting his eyes.

Liu An secretly stretched out his hand from behind, and hit the back of Liu Ci's head, who was gnawing on the bone, and then quickly withdrew his hand, continuing to eat.

Liu Ci was gnawing his bones enjoying himself, when he was slapped suddenly, he jumped up angrily, and shouted: "Which dog beat Naigong?!!"

At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially Liu Chang's eyes.

He got up slowly, and pulled up the slippers beside him, "Ci, Ci, I haven't beaten you in three days, have I?"

At that moment, Liu Ci turned and ran away, and Liu Chang chased after him.

After Liu An finished his meal, he left the Houde Hall in a calm manner.

When he walked out of the hall, all he could hear was Liu Ci's screams from inside.

"There are thugs murdering the widow!!"

"Thank you, brother."

As soon as Liu An walked out of the palace, Ju Meng couldn't wait to come forward, it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time, his brows were tightly frowned, "Your Highness, something happened!"

"Um???"

"What are you doing so quietly?! What happened?"

"Zhang Fu has been arrested!"

"Tingwei?!"

"Ah."

Liu An's complexion changed drastically, and he got into the car in a hurry, Ju Meng drove for him, and went to Tingwei, Liu An asked the reason of the matter again, Ju Meng said shamelessly: "It's our fault, we failed your high expectations, According to your instructions, we went to Lang Zhongling and asked them to send troops to supervise the clansmen who went to the poisoned merchants."

"and then?"

Ju Meng smacked his face, "It's all my fault. He insisted on dragging Mrs. Zhang to drink. After taking a few sips of wine, he went to Langzhong's mansion. As a result, the little official in charge of receiving us spoke rudely to us, saying that we are not It's not proper to do business after drinking, Zhang Fu's temper, how can he bear it, he beat that scribe on the spot."

Liu An's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, "Then he was caught by Wei Ting?! You really didn't give me peace of mind at all."

Ju Meng hesitated for a moment, "Then the scribe beat me and Mrs. Zhang. I ran fast. Mrs. Zhang couldn't get up, so he turned me over to Wei Ting himself."

"What? Mr. Zhang hasn't even fought??"

"Who did you offend? Doctor??"

"It's not a doctor, it's just a petty official, but it's definitely not an ordinary petty official."

Ju Meng said with some fear, that fellow fell down not because he was strong and terrible, but because his fighting style completely defeated Zhang Fu. Whether Zhang Fu was fighting, being a man, or fighting, he always had the same style. This is his greatest advantage. This kind of desperate style of play makes everyone afraid, but the guy they met was calm and calm. In the situation of one against two, he didn't panic at all. Dodge their attacks and kill them with one blow.
The bridge of Zhang Fu's nose was almost broken by him.

"parking!"

At this moment, Liu An refused to continue to go to Ting Wei.

"Your Highness, aren't we going to rescue Mrs. Zhang?"

"Rescue? After drinking and making trouble, you still want me to rescue him? Let him have a long memory!"

At such a time, Ju Meng could only abandon his good brother, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, he should have a long memory!"

"And you!"

"Report yourself to Ting Wei now, and grow your memory with Mrs. Zhang!"

"Your Highness, I have already grown up."

"I'll go now!"

Liu An got out of the car and looked around. This is a village in the eastern suburbs of the outer city. It looks relatively poor and there are not many people. He came to a simple house, and people knocked on the door. Soon, a young man came out.

The young man was tall, wearing casual clothes with a few patches on his clothes, and his family was not rich, but his temperament was really different. The soldier whispered in Liu An's ear, "This is the man."

The young man was also looking at Liu An at the moment, and before Liu An could speak, he leaned over and saluted, "I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Liu An looked at him suspiciously, "You recognize me?"

"I met His Highness in the Langzhong Mansion."

"Hahaha, since you know me, why didn't you invite me in?"

The young man stepped aside and invited Liu An to enter the mansion, but Liu An couldn't help but smile. His mansion was very simple, shabby and even scary. But the power is still great, plus some extra income, it shouldn't be so poor, this person is an honest person.

The young man invited Liu An to sit in the courtyard, and asked his wife to prepare food to entertain the prince.

"Oh, I heard that you injured my servants and sent them to the court. Is there such a thing?!"

The young man was not afraid at all, stared at Liu An, and said seriously: "A gentleman should treat his followers with sincerity and courtesy, but he cannot indulge them. Mrs. Zhang has a violent personality and makes troubles repeatedly. You But if you cover him up because you love him, you are harming him, and one day, he will cause a disaster that you can't cover up, so what are you going to do?!"

"I heard that the king treats his ministers the same way parents treat their children. If you do something right, you will be rewarded, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished. You only reward but not punish. How can you be a master?!"

"Oh?? You mean, I'm not wise enough?"

"Not only is he not wise enough, but only a king like Hu Hai would allow his subordinates to commit crimes like this!"

The soldiers who followed Liu An were furious at this moment, and they were about to draw their swords, but Liu An laughed and stopped his left and right: "You are right, I really shouldn't indulge, this time, I shouldn't If you will indulge them again, let Ting Wei deal with them according to the law!"

"My family offended you, this is my fault, please forgive me!"

Liu An got up and saluted, the young man was stunned, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, even saying he didn't dare.

"I don't know your name?"

"Chen, I don't know Cheng."

"What do you think of the nearest food shop?"

"I think that Shihuo Mansion has not done enough."

"Oh?"

"Shihuo Mansion is now focusing on lifting business restrictions and going out for trade, but His Majesty's establishment of Shihuo Mansion is actually for the purpose of agriculture, and to promote agriculture through business. Shihuo Mansion cannot be used as a separate mansion. To be your own, you need to cooperate with multiple departments, I, Tingwei, food and everything are connected, and cannot be separated.”

The young man talked about his thoughts, and Liu An nodded seriously.

Liu An then asked a lot of things, and even asked him his opinion on body poisoning. As for body poisoning, this young man firmly believed that he would fight sooner or later. The enemy is to revitalize the big man.

Liu An found that the person in front of him was really talented.

He is upright, strong, and skilled. He has his own thoughts on internal affairs and wars. He has a long-term vision. The more Liu An listens, the happier he is, and the eyes he looks at him become more and more passionate. The people around him are all adults. They arranged for him, but he found none of them.

He also wanted to be like his father, personally promoting one or two talents, saying that father and elder father both have the ability to know people, and he also wanted to prove that he also had this ability. We chatted for a long time until the sky gradually turned dark.

"Hey, talking with you is really beneficial. It's just that you will be busy with government affairs in the future, so you can't discuss with you at any time. What should I do?"

Liu An asked tentatively.

If you want to regain the other party, you also have to know the other party's thoughts, and see if they are happy or not.

Fortunately, Cheng Bushi didn't object, he heard what the prince meant, got up and said: "If His Highness doesn't mind, I am willing to serve His Highness!"

"Hahahaha!"

"OK!!"

Liu An is overjoyed, this is the first talented person he personally promoted, he said locally that he would stay at their house for the night, which made Cheng Bushi even more flattered, the two had a long talk by candlelight, and they couldn't fall asleep all night .

The next day, Liu An brought him out of Langzhong's mansion, and directly appointed him as his servant. Langzhong Ling Shen Tujia is not in Chang'an at the moment, and it doesn't matter if he is there. The transfer of a small official is beyond his control. Yes, it was only when Liu An personally brought him out that he realized that this man had always had a bad reputation in Langzhong's mansion, and other officials didn't like him.

Because he is always meddling in other people's affairs and outspoken, it is easy to offend others.

But when they knew that the prince had taken a fancy to him, his attitude immediately changed. Even the Shangguan who had abused him all day long bid him farewell, wiped away his tears, and asked him not to forget these colleagues. I want to come back and see myself more when I have time.

The two monarchs and ministers were walking on the street, Liu An said with a smile: "The officials in Chang'an really value the friendship of colleagues."

"If he was demoted, he would not visit him for fear of disturbing him to pack his things. If he was promoted, it would be a tearful farewell."

Liu An said sarcastically.

Cheng Bushi said seriously: "It's normal to follow the trend."

"Recently, I have more and more people under my command. Although you have sent two of them in, generally speaking, there are more than ten sages under my command, and all of them are capable of doing things. Now Shihuo Mansion is completely I will maintain it. I need to make some achievements as soon as possible. Now all departments are exhausted. My father has done too many things. It is difficult for any department to achieve great achievements. Even Zhang Xiang and the management of agriculture have stagnated , unable to advance"

"At this time, it is the time for us to succeed!"

Hearing the prince's words, Cheng Bushi frowned, "Your Highness, you don't know, because of the increase in merchants and the curfew, thieves are breeding everywhere, and the law and order have declined. The Ting Wei has ordered to start a vigorous rectification. Today's Chang'an, Any trivial matter may be watched by Tingwei. Most of your family members are arrogant. No matter what we want to do, we must first restrain them. If we let them do things recklessly, I am afraid that there is a useful person around you. there is none left."

"Zhang Shizhi is really difficult to deal with."

"However, Zhang Gong's governance of Chang'an is still very effective. Today's Chang'an has a long way to go."

Before Cheng Bushi could finish his words, shouts came from a distance, and the people began to hide in horror, shouting, and hastily moved out of the way. Under the watchful eyes of Cheng Bushi and Liu An, a The old man ran out from the crowd.

The old man looked quite young, and no one would have imagined that he could run so fast.

With his legs wide open, he ran crazily on the road, yelling, almost crying, begging for mercy.

And behind him was a carriage, the driver was chasing after the old man, and the person sitting in the carriage was laughing wildly, pointing at the old man in front of the carriage and shouting: "Quick! Quick! Hit him! Hit him!!"

Cheng Bushi was dumbfounded, Liu An saw clearly the people in the carriage, and pulled Cheng Bushi to leave.

"Your Highness!!! There is such a villain under the feet of the Son of Heaven!! In broad daylight, he actually wants to kill an old man!! It's so disgusting!!"

Cheng Bushi roared and rushed over immediately.

Liu An turned pale with shock, "Don't go!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Bushi had already rushed over. He grabbed the running old man and pulled him aside, then drew out the saber from his waist and aimed at the approaching carriage, the carriage Coming at a gallop, the strong man on the carriage flew out and jumped in front of Cheng Bushi.

The figure of this strong man is so scary, Cheng Bushi was not afraid, and asked loudly: "Who are you?! How dare you harm the old man?!"

Liu Chang looked at the small body in front of him who was yelling at him, looked him up and down, yanked him, and threw him upside down. Cheng Bushi's eyes darkened, and then he stopped moving. Taking a few steps forward, looking at the lovely and pitiful old man in front of him, he lowered his head and grinned grimly.

"Run, why don't you keep running?"

"Forgive me! Forgive me! I won't dare again!"

"Didn't you say that I hurt you, and you need me to pay? The injury is not enough, I have to kill you! You asked me for [-] yuan, don't worry, I will give you [-]!"

"Run for Nai Gong!!!"

At this moment, a wailing sound was heard, and someone rushed over, lying beside Cheng Bushi, shaking him, "I don't know? I don't know! Wake up!!"

Liu Chang looked sideways.

"install??"
