Father Han Gaozu

"From now on, you will be my elder brother. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Liu Ci was still chattering, but Liu An had already handed this thing to Liu Bo, "Take it back, I have other things to do."

Liu Bo nodded, embraced his younger brother, and left here.

Several of Liu An's servants also came to his side, Feng Tang was the first to speak: "Your Highness, this Gongyang school is very violent. Although the school is small, it has big plans and always has shocking words. I am worried. They want to take advantage of Young Master Ci."

"Use? This word is a bit heavy. Is it just to use me when the Huang Lao people follow me? It's just that I am useful to them and can help them. As for the Gongyang School, that is It’s just an insignificant school of Confucianism.”

"If they can recruit a vassal king, among other things, and grant their own fief later, then the Gongyang School will have their own foundation, and they will have the opportunity to display their talents, and at the same time give They are powerful, let more people know about their school, and value their school.”

"This is very normal. Look at the countries in the world today. The peasants of Liang State, the Mo of Chu School, the Gu Liang Confucians of Qi State and Zhao State, the Xun School of Confucianism of Chu State, and the Huang Lao of Tang State are not all attached to What about the princes and kingdoms?"

Liu An is quite thorough in the field of academics. He said with a smile, "Father disagrees because he only knows that Gongyang Confucianism is a study in the temple. He is afraid that giving it to me will cause trouble for me. However, Gongyang It is the most opposed to separatism, even if the ram rebels, he will only rebel in the temple, and will definitely not rebel in the local area.”

"Great unity is their foundation, and taking the initiative to destroy the great unity is not something the ram will do."

"Father's understanding of these schools is still too superficial!"

Even though Liu An is not confident when dealing with government affairs, he is absolutely confident when designing academic aspects. His understanding of these schools of thought may be deeper than their own. Liu An has always been thinking about writing a book that combines various schools of thought. Zi Baijia's book combines all the knowledge of all schools into one book.

To write a book that has never been seen before, and will never come after, and gathers all the great principles in the world.

Liu An has also prepared for this for a long time, but he is not in a hurry. It is impossible to complete such a book alone, because there are too many things, so he still has to call more talents. Let's write together.

Now there are more than ten of his disciples, all of whom are young and promising talents. These people are not bad, but it is definitely not enough to compile books.

Seeing that the prince was confident, the rest of the servants stopped persuading him, Mao Chang suddenly said: "By the way, Your Highness, the scholar who ranks first in various assessments is the successor of the Gongyang School. He is Hu Wusheng's disciple, I think this person is extremely talented and capable, even his opponents respect him very much, does your Highness want to meet this person?"

"You said it was Gong Sunhong?"

Liu An smiled. In fact, he had noticed this scholar very early on. This man was of extremely low family background. It can be said that he was the one with the lowest family background among all the scholars who participated in the assessment. What is rare is that he is also the one with the most outstanding talents. One, whether it is classics, laws, detectives, or skills, he is number one.

Simply an all-rounder.

Liu An has been eyeing him for a long time, but before the contact time, as the person in charge of the assessment, it is not a good thing to contact the scholars participating in the assessment too early. It is better to wait until everything is over and see you again Meet this prodigy.

The assessment has gone through many sessions now, and it is coming to an end.

And the last two assessments, one is a test of mathematics, the other is a test of eyesight. The so-called eyesight is not to see how far they can see, but to see their observation ability, such as letting a group of people walk in front of them, and then Suddenly asked about the characteristics of those people and so on.

Now that the assessment has been carried out, those who can stay are basically very talented. They live together on weekdays. Liu An personally arranged a mansion for them. Before the assessment is over, they cannot leave. It also depends on their ability to communicate, Liu An doesn't want to choose someone like Chao Cuo.

"Gongsun

Jun! "

When Gong Sunhong came out, the young people who met him were all very polite salutations. On the one hand, it was because Gong Sunhong was the oldest, and on the other hand, it was also because Gong Sunhong had helped them many times. This person had no secrets at all. , If you meet someone who needs help, you must do your best to help.

He is not the kind of person who is very good at communication. On the contrary, he seldom talks. He is the kind of person who can do things but never talks too much. His enthusiasm is only reflected in his actions. He does not participate in the banquet of everyone, but If someone was too drunk to walk, he would send them back.

He doesn't chat much with people, but he remembers everyone's name and doesn't say no to them when they ask for help.

Moreover, he will not be ashamed because of his background. In the early stage of the assessment, he can share a lot of his pig raising experience, although everyone may not be able to use it in the future.

Everyone loves him very much, and he has become a veritable No.1 here.

"Gongsun Jun, someone is looking for you outside the door."

"According to the rules, we are not allowed to go out to meet friends."

The scholar who came to complain waved his hand indifferently, "Your Highness is not so ruthless, as long as you don't go out, it's okay to chat through the door, besides, it's not your friend, it's your teacher, don't worry, we I also often talk to outsiders, and nothing will happen.”

Gong Sunhong shook his head and said firmly: "Since there are rules, we must abide by them. You can't do things that violate the rules because of the laxness of the supervisor. This is not what people who talk about etiquette should do. Please tell me My teacher, after the assessment is over, I will go to his house to plead guilty."

The man smiled wryly, knowing Gongsun Hong's character, so he went out to report.

The one standing outside the door was naturally Hu Wusheng. When he learned that his disciple didn't want to come out, Hu Wusheng was not angry, "It turns out that there are still such rules. I was the one who was abrupt. Please go back and tell him, so that he can rest assured that the assessment will not be done." Hurry up, forget it, let him take the assessment with peace of mind."

In fact, Hu Wusheng came here to remind his disciples that if the prince summons him, don't rush to meet him, it's not yet time, but now that his disciples are so cautious, he no longer worries.

Gong Yangshou is still running around about Liu Ci, but Hu Wusheng is not so concerned about Liu Ci, but he is very worried. With a disciple like Gong Sunhong, why take risks and find a prince to come What about sustenance?This is a matter of prosperity for all, and loss for all.

If your own school is powerful, with many people, and the princes and kings are reliable, then it’s okay, but now, the Gongyang School can’t withstand a bump, and the princes and kings are a little bit too human. .This is too risky.

But the teacher didn't listen to him, and there was nothing he could do.I hope the teacher can teach that naughty young master Ci well.

Liu Chang was humming, and was in a slightly drunken state. With those two old men, of course, there was no way to eat meat and drink. They were too old, and Liu Chang was afraid of being drunk to death by them.

However, the current slightly drunk state is not bad, with the wind blowing in front of her, it is so refreshing, so comfortable, her whole body is soft, as if lying in the clouds.

"Lu, this is a bad thing. My gold mine was discovered. You said Zhao Shi, why was he so careless? Guan Ying found it so easily."

Lu Lu's face was very displeased, "Your Majesty, why did you never tell me that you still have a private mine in South Vietnam?? You already have a gold mine, and today you are rewarding Yingyin Hou and I have to pay for it? !"

Liu Chang said solemnly: "You don't understand that this gold mine is used to fund Shang Fang. You also know that the ministers have great opinions on Shang Fang. Shang Fang's research is burning money, sir. Sending a lot of gold to Shangfang made so many new inventions.”

"Don't talk about other investments, just talk about the rewards of those craftsmen in Shangfang. If you don't use the gold mine, can you bear it? Even you will go bankrupt, and I must find a way by myself!"

Lu Lu did not refute it. It took a day or two for the ministers to have opinions on Shangfang. Since the status of the craftsmen in Shangfang has soared, such opinions have become more and more serious.

If you want to increase investment in Shangfang, the officials will definitely not do it. It makes sense for His Majesty to keep a private mine and not use the temple to fund Shangfang.

Lu Lu looked suspiciously at the luxurious clothes on Liu Chang's body, looked at the gold threads on the top, and asked: "Your Majesty's clothes with gold threads, the chariot inlaid with gold, and the scabbard... don't all belong to this gold mine. Why??"

"Ahem, what are you talking about?!"

"Could I be the kind of monarch who deliberately hides the gold mine for enjoyment, greedy for the gold of the big man to make these things for himself?!"

"The incorruptibility and simplicity of the widow is well known in the world! You see, the king of Wu also imitated my simplicity everywhere, and this is why he has a good reputation. How can a wise king like me use gold mines to do such things?"

"It's not difficult, I'll go to the Shaofu to ask."

"Ahem, ask! Go ahead and ask! This is my gold mine, and I still eat meat, why don't you let me drink soup?!"

Liu Chang was a little angry, but Lu Lu also heard the truth, sure enough
"Then what is His Majesty going to do?"

"Of course it is concealed. Shangfang still cannot lack funds, especially during this period of time. Shangfang's mission is extremely important, and I am too lazy to deal with those officials. Naturally, I can only use this method. Guan Ying will find a way Cover it up, he probably understands my difficulty.”

Liu Chang was talking to Lu Lu, and they walked into Houde Hall together.

"Father!"

Liu An hurriedly got up, and Liu Chang frowned, "Why are you so elusive all day long, what are you doing here?"

"Father, I came here for the things I have given you. If you are not here, I will wait here."

Liu Chang nodded, sat down with Lu Lu's support, and then looked up at Liu An, "I went to look for you? You should know why I didn't agree?"

"I know but I understand Ci and trust him, he is my brother."

Liu An didn't say that he understood the Gongyang School, but only that he understood Liu Ciyu, because of Father's character, if Liu An said to his face that your understanding was wrong and that you didn't understand the Gongyang School, then Father would definitely beat him up. Although Father doesn't understand the Ram School, he understands the Ram Debate very well.

But Liu An's words made Liu Chang extremely gratified.

Liu An's personality is also very flawed. Although his talent in learning is terrifying, but he is a little bit sinister?In other words, some people pay too much attention to conspiracy, and he is always obsessed with solving many things that can be solved by Yang conspiracy.

This made Liu Chang a little worried. He didn't want to see his children fighting in the same room. It would be best if they could live in harmony.

"Okay, it's kind of like a big brother."

"It's because of you that I don't agree to this matter. Since you have agreed, then I have nothing to say. Just go and do it."

Liu An thanked him, and said just now: "Father, this time the poisoned Baicheng King is coming, can I be in charge of interviewing him?"

"You? You can't break the bones, what did you see him doing?"

"Forehead"

Liu An didn't quite understand what this bone-breaking had to do with diplomacy, but he still said seriously: "I have a lot of my own ideas, besides, father is busy with everything, I can do these small things by myself, I don't want to bother you father."

"It's rare to have such filial piety, well, I agree!"

Liu Chang, who was slightly drunk, became a little more talkative, basically able to listen to anything that made sense, Liu An took the opportunity to make several requests in succession, Liu Chang agreed, Liu An was overjoyed, the wine was delicious , if something happens in the future, get some wine for my father first, and then propose.

"Also, you should go to Shangfang's place too. Urge Chen Tao."

"only!!"

Liu An left happily, and Liu Chang looked at his back with disdain, and said to Lu Lu in a low voice: "I'll tell you, that Shuzi just now must be thinking of pouring me wine before doing business in the future! "

Lu Lu laughed, "Prince is still young after all.
'

"Young ass, at his age, I have already started to beat up the ministers of the country. Look at this guy, he is so unconfident in his work, and he has to use the name of Chao Cuo to do things. This is Li Zi, I will do it in the future. I have to find some time to discipline him properly.”

"Your Highness, if you do more things, you will grow naturally. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so anxious."

"Well, let's take another look. If it doesn't work, I will do it myself."

"This son is not like his father or mother. He has the same virtues as his mother. He can't do anything, and he doesn't have any courage. He only learned some shortcomings, but he didn't learn his mother's advantages. The queen is that What a clever person, why doesn't this Zhuzi learn?"

Seeing His Majesty's sudden change, Lu Lu turned around calmly, greeted the queen behind him, then ignored the emperor's crazy hints, and left here.

Cao Shu had a stern face. As soon as she walked in, she heard Liu Chang's abuse. This raised child has no heart.

"Shu, come, come, sit down."

"I'm praising you"

Liu Chang was not embarrassed at all, and hugged the queen with a smile. With the increase of age, Cao Shu's body gradually became more and more plump; mature, of course, is no longer the original beauty, but this dignified and extravagant, It was also not available at the beginning.

Liu Chang still liked her very much, and bickered with her more times than the other two wives combined.

"Your Majesty, I just came from my mother, and my mother said, you won't let Liu Ci go to school?"

"Auntie, what does she know? She is a woman, and she takes what she hears to be true. Why would I not let my child go to school? I just ordered Liu Ci to go to school with Gong Yangshou."

Only then did Cao Shu nod her head, "The child I raised, I know best. Although Ci is stubborn, he loves his elder brothers very much. Do you know why Ci always wants to run away?"

"Don't you just want to go out and play?"

"No, he really wants to go to Tongguan. He said that the prince of Chu insulted his elder brother, but he never apologized in person. He wanted to arrest that prince and bring him back."

"Also, he squatted at Changxin Hall every day and threw stones at Zhang Shizhi. That's because he heard that Zhang Shizhi was always targeting his elder brother, so he avenged his elder brother."

"He is a very affectionate child, and he will never do anything rebellious. Your Majesty must not doubt his son. This will cause conflicts between their brothers, which is very wrong."

Liu Chang listened for a while, then suddenly shouted: "I said last time when I was chatting with Zhang Shizhi, someone threw a stone!! I always suspected it was him, and it really was him!!"

"Your Majesty, if he wants to study, let him study. There is a school to support him. In the future, when he goes to the feudal state, he will not have to worry about not having talents to use. I heard that there is a Gongsun Hong in the Gongyang School. Maybe you can give him the chancellor.”

"Gongsun Hong?? An Ke has been eyeing him for a long time, and even said that he will use him for himself. You are a mother, why are you prying the corner of your son?"

Cao Shu replied very calmly: "I have four sons and one daughter. I treat them equally. I have never treated them differently, and I will not treat them differently."

Liu Chang was silent for a moment, then suddenly put his arms around Cao Shu, and said with emotion: "I am so lucky to have met such a virtuous wife as you."

Cao Shu patted Liu Chang's dishonest hand, "Your Majesty, it's still daytime!"

"Shu, An came here just now and offered to let him study. I think we children must be able to get along in harmony. Although An is a bit deep in the city, he is still very sincere to his brothers. Zhen I'm glad you don't have to worry about these things either."

"Although Ci is stubborn, irritable, disrespectful, disobedient, insulting his brother, spitting on the teacher's face, and doing all kinds of evil, I know that he is a good boy."

"We can totally trust these kids."

The two cuddled tightly together, Liu Chang suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You just said what Liu Ci wanted to do when he went out?"

"Go to King Chu

Prince."

"Prince Chu??"

Liu Chang pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "No, I forgot about this guy, isn't this guy still serving corvee until now???"
