Father Han Gaozu

"Your Majesty, the young master is talented, intelligent and virtuous. I wish to accept the young master as a disciple and teach him the knowledge of rams so as to help him achieve what he can. Please allow the old man to recruit the young master as his disciple!!"

Gong Yangshou knelt down in front of Liu Chang, speaking very sincerely.

Gong Yangshou is not too old, at least among the great Confucians today, he is considered relatively young, and his force value is average. Of course, this is generally only compared with these great Confucians today. For some reason, the great Confucians in this period are full of force.

That old Confucian in Qi State, who was over seventy years old, was able to stab a wild boar to death with a spear, which made people shudder.

In the State of Zhao there was Gu Liangru, who was over half a hundred years old, and he could shoot a fleeing hare in the eye with one arrow, and he said that he could hit whichever eye he shot.

There was a great Confucian who had been punished in the Tang Dynasty. He loved driving. When he was driving a chariot, even Xia Houying admired him.As for the reason for his punishment, he was driving for Yingbo before he became a Confucian.

Anyway, being crowded in such a group of people, Gongyangshou is not very prominent, but it is definitely something that many Confucian scholars dare not provoke, not because of any reason, but because of their hot temper, other great Confucians will not make a move in general, unless you are It completely angered them, but Gong Yangshou was different.

Before he could say a few words, he became impatient and began to draw his sword. This is a common operation. He started to draw his sword after a normal debate. It was also started by their faction. They had a great time playing with the generals group all day long, and they had a close relationship. Supporting their military use is also a routine operation. Anyway, they don't look like great Confucians.

And Liu Chang still likes them quite a lot. Their theories are very helpful to today's great unification, and their style is also extremely suitable for this big man who is good at martial arts.

Liu Chang rubbed his chin and hesitated, "I am very happy that you can have such an evaluation of the young master, but, Bo has already worshiped Fuqiu Bo as his teacher, how can he worship you as his teacher again? There is no such thing in the world. It makes sense."

Although a certain person has worshiped various factions as teachers many times, he is obviously not within the constraints of reason. Liu Chang has always been more lenient than self-discipline and strict with others.

Gong Yangshou was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I don't want to accept the Daiwang as a disciple, I want to accept the son's gift!"

"Who????"

"Gongzici"

Liu Chang looked at Gongyangshou suspiciously, his eyes gradually changed from bewildered to pity and sympathy, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"I know that your Gongyang school is very difficult now. Some people said that you recruited a pig farmer as a disciple. I thought I understood how difficult it is for you, but now you even recruit Liu Ci. Oh, how about it, I still have some books here, I will send someone to deliver them to you later.”

Liu Chang is very sympathetic, even Liu Ci has started to recruit, how poor is this school? At the gate of the school, no one wants to put a lot of money on it.

The Rams still have to grab it.

Even the Elder, at this moment he couldn't help but have deep sympathy for the ram.

Gong Yangshou was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the pig-raising scholar you mentioned, his name is Gongsun Hong, he is resolute, studious, neither humble nor overbearing, I think that in terms of aptitude, the whole of Chang'an is not capable." It is the luck of the ram to recruit anyone who is comparable to him!"...

"As for Gongzici, he is strong, not pedantic, decisive and brave, quick-witted, with such aptitude, it's a pity not to learn from Gongyang!"

Liu Chang's expression was a bit complicated, "This matter. Let's talk about it later, I still have some important matters to deal with, so you don't have to worry too much."

Gong Yangshou was a little helpless. Judging by His Majesty's expression, it seemed that he was not willing to let the son give him to learn from Gong Yang, but he couldn't continue to pester His Majesty. It's not worth taking a bite.

Gong Yangshou immediately made up his mind, he should go back temporarily and let Hu Wusheng haunt His Majesty! !
After Gong Yangshou left, Lu Lu asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, why don't you agree?

Learning, this is also a good thing, maybe it can make him change his past behavior and become like his brother? "

"Fart, learn from Gongyang, what does he learn from the princes and kings? Do he learn from the great unification? Or the king's destiny? Isn't this adding to the chaos? I was worried that this guy would rebel in the future. If he learns this stuff again, then later What's the deal?? Isn't this sincerely embarrassing Ann?"

Lu Lu was taken aback, "Although Young Master Ci is stubborn, it shouldn't be like this."

"Heh, this guy is arrogant, it's hard to say, because of this problem, I have not made him king for a long time, but I didn't consider his fiefdom well, imitating Gongyang, I'm afraid something will happen, let's forget it. "

Liu Chang directly denied it, and Lu Lu couldn't say anything more.

Gong Yangshou returned to the mansion in a hurry, and called Hu Wusheng to his side, "Your Majesty never agreed, I thought about it, you will go to your Majesty starting tomorrow, write a letter every day, and force His Majesty to agree!"

"Teacher, isn't it a bit too dangerous to do this?"

"Yeah, otherwise why would I send you there?"

Hu Wusheng pursed his lips, but he was not surprised. My own teacher, speaking of it, is really not good. The old hooligans in the Confucianism have almost become a consensus.

"Teacher, I feel something is wrong. If you offend His Majesty, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"This still depends on Young Master Ci. If Young Master Ci wants to learn, then things will be much easier. However, teacher, do we really want to accept Young Master Ci as a disciple? I work in the palace, but I have heard too much about His rumors, this."

"Needless to say, this person is what our rams need. Then you can arrange this matter. I will compile the book for you. Go get busy!"

Gong Yangshou said resolutely: "We must accomplish this matter, and we must not shrink back!"

Hu Wusheng glanced at the teacher, wanted to say something, but held back.
"Big Mom!!!"

With a loud cry, Empress Lu's hands trembled, and she saw a small man rushing into the Shrine Hall, with tears in his eyes and a runny nose, he threw himself directly into Empress Lu's arms, and the tears and snot went directly to the Empress Dowager. Wiping the body is still very risky. Currently, only Liu Ci dares to do so.

Seeing his appearance, Empress Lu didn't dislike him, she wiped his snot, "Your father beat you again?"

"Mother, I want to study, but Father refuses, he doesn't allow me to study, he wants me to be an incompetent vassal king, and then he has a reason to beat me up!"...

"Do you want to study??"

"Tell me, what do you want to learn?"

"Bull Spring and Autumn!"

Even Empress Lu couldn't help it at this moment. She couldn't help laughing. She wanted to hold back several times, but she still couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a long time, she asked, "Then why doesn't your father Let you learn from this bull Chunqiu?"

"I don't know, Mother, I met an old man on the road. This old man is the leader of this school. He saw that I was talented and intelligent, and wanted to accept me as a disciple. I really wanted to go, but Father refused. You also said that you are incompetent and not worthy of learning."

Empress Lu probably understood, he rubbed Liu Ci's head, "It's useless for you to look for me, you have to look for someone else."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Your brother."

Liu Ci couldn't understand, "Mom, it's useless to find you, but it's useful to find elder brother? Father only listens to you. Last time I blamed elder brother on elder brother, and elder brother was beaten up by father. He can be useful." ?"

Empress Lu asked earnestly, "Ci, what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to expand the territory!!"

"Then what if your elder brother refuses?"

"Then I'll report to my mother!!"

"Hahaha, okay, then go to your elder brother, as long as you tell him the matter, he will find a way to solve it for you."

"Really? Big Mom, you can't lie to a child."

"I lied to you, what are you doing, hurry up!" Just as Liu Chang was about to do business, that is, go hunting, he learned that Guan Ying had arrived in Chang'an, so Liu Chang waited in the palace. Come to see me, but I waited and waited, I waited for more than an hour, and there was still no news, Liu Chang was furious.

Is it easy for me?Wearing such luxurious Chu clothes on this hot day, and sitting here waiting for so long, you don't even come to see me?It's rare for me to show off my new clothes, what does this mean?
In fact, when officials from other places arrived in Chang'an, they had to take a bath first, and then come to visit the emperor after getting ready, but Liu Chang couldn't wait, and he didn't care about his etiquette, so he led people towards Guan Ying's mansion.

Guan Ying was chatting with Xia Houying at the moment, when the two toasted and talked, Liu Chang rushed into their mansion in a hurry.

"Father Zhong!!!"

Guan Ying hadn't heard this sentence for a long time, and 1 heard it suddenly, as if he had some bad memories, got up in fright, but Liu Chang looked at him with a smile, walked straight in front of him, and gave him the A warm hug.

Guan Ying groaned in pain.

Liu Chang let him go, raised his head and laughed, showing the tyrant's appearance.

"Father Zhong, you are finally here. You came to Chang'an, but you didn't come to see me, but here you secretly had a drink with Xiahou Zhongfu. What is this?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has just arrived and is not yet ready. Marquis Ruyin is here to visit, so..."

"Okay, no problem, no need to apologize, just sit down!"

Liu Chang just forcibly joined the two of them, and he didn't see anything. He ordered Guan Ying's retainers to get some food, looked at Guan Ying again, and praised: "The older you are, the more energetic you are." , look at this beard, it really looks good.”…

Liu Chang wasn't talking about it. Guan Ying's figure was far inferior to Xia Houying's. Chen Ping and the others were tall and tall, with a square face, so he wasn't handsome anyway, but after years of baptism, his manicured gray beard matched the The face makes him very temperamental and makes him look very tough.

"Who did you get this beard trimmed? It looks so pretty."

"Um, the minister was trained in Changsha."

"Looks like I have to go to Changsha to get my beard trimmed."

Guan Ying did not expect that when the emperor saw him for the first time, the first thing he asked about was not the local government affairs, but his beard.

After chatting for a long time, Liu Chang finally asked about the situation of the place. Guan Ying was still a little proud. Their Changsha Kingdom has developed rapidly in the past few years, and has surpassed many places. Its grain production ranks fifth among the princes. In particular, the ironware of Changsha has become the dominant player in the southern market, and the ironware produced by Wu State every year is not as much as them.

Governing the region is not Guan Ying's strong point, but he is very good at managing officials. Guan Ying, who ranks among the top fifteen in the founding of the country, is a blow to dimensionality reduction in southern China.

Now there are only a few of the top [-] survivors in the founding of the country, and they are all in the northern region, and Guan Ying is the only one in the south. Liu Heng dare not give him face, let alone the officials under his command In addition, the King of Changsha is weak and has no desire to control, so all important matters are left to Guan Ying.

Guan Ying used the method of running the army to manage officials, and implemented very strict performance inspections. If the performance failed, he would be fined, if he passed, he would be rewarded, and if he failed twice, he would be replaced. Changsha has a lot of resources and talents.

Guanying employs people, and doesn't give those big families any face at all. As long as you don't have the ability, your father is not even the founding general. As long as you have the ability and do things well, even if you are an ordinary person, you can get you among the Jiuqing. Ying promoted many useful talents and suppressed those who were incompetent and occupied important positions.

Under his rule, Changsha Kingdom has been rising day by day, the overall quality of officials has been continuously improved, and the development is rapid. It’s just that the local rich and powerful have suffered, but these people can’t compete with Guan Ying. Guan Ying is still training the army while governing the country. , The bandits were suppressed everywhere, and they all went to Bashu, and no one dared to say anything.

Liu Chang is still very satisfied with Guan Ying's behavior.

There are fewer and fewer such heavyweight prime ministers. Just like Guanying, if you change someone to do it, you will be forced to resign the next day. These people are really useful, but unfortunately, there are too few up.

Listening to Guan Ying's narration, Liu Chang was naturally very happy. He waved his hand and shouted: "Lu! Reward a hundred gold!!"

Hearing the achievements of his colleagues, Xia Houying just smiled lightly. His physical condition is not as good as Guan Ying's. In his lifetime, he killed a Hun Shanyu and brought the size of Shiyi to the present level. Other ideas, just relying on his credit for killing Shan Yu, he can despise the rest of the founding ministers.

Except for Han Xin.

Liu Changzheng cheerfully followed Guan Ying to inquire about the location, and Guan Ying then said: "Your Majesty, I am here this time to impeach Zhao Tuo!"...

"Ah? Zhao Tuo? What did he do?"

Guan Ying scolded angrily: "This fellow is so bold and co-conspiratorial. I found gold mines in Changsha. I searched along the way and found that there were actually gold mines in Nanyue. But Zhao Tuo had bad intentions, so he deliberately did not report to the temple and mined it privately. , this is treason!!"

At that moment, Liu Chang's expression suddenly became very unnatural.

"Ah, it's this matter, this matter, I have actually heard about it, and I'm already investigating it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Guan Ying was very confused, "Your Majesty knows?? Since Your Majesty heard about it, why didn't you send someone to arrest Zhao Tuo? Hiding gold without permission is a felony!"

"Of course I have my own ideas. Don't tell other people about this matter for now. I will solve it myself. Oh, by the way, is Guan Ah coming? He wrote to me earlier, saying that he was going to come. Come to see you."

Liu Chang changed the subject very bluntly, Guan Ying was still very angry, but he didn't continue to pester him about it, "I don't know, maybe I haven't seen him for a long time, this Shuzi has no ability to govern Shu County, It didn't work either."

"You can't say that. Shu County is well governed by him. It's very good to be able to employ people boldly. There's no need to expect anything else."

While Liu Chang was chatting with Guan Ying and the others, Liu Ci also came to the Prince's Mansion under the leadership of Liu Bo.

Liu An was not in the mansion, so Liu Bo asked Liu Ci to play in the courtyard temporarily, but he chatted with those housemates and waited.

"Brother!!"

The moment Liu An came back, Liu Ci rushed up with a smile and jumped into his arms. Liu An looked at him suspiciously, "You ran out?"

"No, my second brother brought me here."

Liu An carried him into the inner room, looked at Liu Bo, "Why are you carrying this stick?"

Liu Bo got up as if he had an instinctive reaction, and then said skillfully: "I'm sorry, my brother is naughty."

After talking halfway, I just realized it and stopped hastily.

Liu An couldn't help laughing out loud, and then knocked Liu Ci on the head, "Look at you, how much you have made your second brother look like, how many troubles have you caused to make your second brother see you?" People need to apologize!"

Liu Ci muttered, "He's not the only brother of mine."

"What can you do with me?"

Liu Ci couldn't wait to say: "Brother, I want to learn!"

"Oh?"

Liu An's eyes lit up, and he was a little happy, "You want to learn? Really? Good thing, good thing!"

Among the younger brothers, Liu An is most worried about Ci. He is not worried that he will rebel or that he will not be able to govern the country well in the future. Seeing this incompetent younger brother actually say that he wants to study, the happiness in Liu An's heart is indescribable .

"Brother, this is how it happened."

Liu Bo took the first step and told Liu An what happened in detail. Liu An listened very carefully. Even when he heard the name of the Gongyang School, he didn't feel any strange, and nodded his head calmly. .

"That's it. Father refused, and then this Zhuzi made a fuss and asked me to bring him to you."

Liu An suddenly understood, he hugged the gift

Sitting in the upper seat, he looked at Ci seriously, and asked, "Do you really want to learn from the ram?"

"Um!"

"why?"

"They say that if you learn from rams, you can learn the principles without reading books. I want to think about the principles of expanding the territory!"

"That's it, okay, then you go and learn. Tomorrow, I will take you to find Gongyangshou."

Liu Bo was a little anxious, "Brother, it's from Father."

"Father, what does he know? When he hears a ram, he doesn't understand their thinking, so he starts to think wildly. I decide this matter. It's okay. Who said that princes and kings can't learn from rams? Father, I will Go and explain it to him!"

Seeing his brother's extraordinarily domineering appearance, Liu Ci looked at his brother with eyes full of admiration.

"Brother, do you really want us to find an auspicious time to slaughter livestock and hold sacrifices?"
Si, become brothers! ! "
