Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 581 It's Really Up
"Lu, what you're doing is outrageous!!"

The next day, when Liu Chang brought Lu Lu to visit Cao Yu, Cao Yu pointed at Lu Lu and expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart. Lu Lu was immediately dumbfounded. It is His Majesty who sent you to the Western Regions. What do you care about me? ? ?

Liu Chang was also a little puzzled. Although Cao Yu was injured this time because of his greed and aggressiveness, there was no problem with him, but after all, he was the one who sent him to the Western Regions. After returning after life and death, he had to come to greet him Fan, he hosted a banquet last night in honor of King Baicheng.

At dawn today, I hurried to see Cao Yu, but I didn't expect that Cao Yu would reprimand Lu Lu as soon as he saw Cao Yu.

"Pingyanghou. I don't know what I did to make you so angry?"

"You have a lot of property in Xiting Kingdom and Beiting Kingdom. Then Hexi Kingdom is your relative, why is it the only one who refuses to help you? Xiang wrote a letter to you, but you still reprimanded him. If you do this Is it from the elders?"

Cao Yu is a bit straightforward, basically can't hide his words, and speaks bluntly.

Liu Chang was taken aback when he heard what he said, and then looked at Lu Lu, "Is there such a thing? Then it's really your fault. You have to treat these scumbags equally. No matter how stubborn they are, they are still blood relatives." , how can we ignore it?"

Lu Lu's face was dark, and he said angrily: "Isn't that Zhuzi Xiang told you?"

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other thing. It's true that he wrote a letter to me, and I did reprimand him, but the letter written by Zhu Zi was not asking me to help him at all. He was blackmailing him. It's a threat!! This Zhu Zi brazenly said that if I don't give him money, he will let Liu Jing kill me!!"

"If I hadn't been here to serve His Majesty, I would have gone over to beat him up long ago!"

When Cao Yu heard this, he was also stunned.

Immediately, he cursed in a low voice: "I said that when this Zhuzi told me something, why did his words not match his words, so it turned out to be like this."

Liu Chang patted Lu Lu on the shoulder, "You must be magnanimous to be a man. Don't take it to heart if you are ignorant. After Luan Bu's education this time, he will definitely not be like this again. As for the Hexi Kingdom, who can help We still need to help, Hexi is the bridge between the Central Plains and the Western Regions."

Anyway, as long as the matter does not involve him, the Elder is very magnanimous. He persuaded Lu Lu, and then sat next to Cao Yu, looking at Cao Yu, "Why do you want to lead people to poison? I Obviously there was no such order?"

"At that time, the results were not enough, and I had no face to return to the temple, so I went."

Liu Chang took a deep look at him, "Then you don't have to sacrifice your life to win each other. If you die in the Western Regions, how can I explain to Shu? Doesn't she want to hate me to death?"

"Shu is a virtuous person, and she will never resent Your Majesty for this."

Cao Yu said confidently, and Liu Chang smiled, "Everyone in Pingyang Hou's family is stubborn."

While they were talking, a servant came in with his head down and gave Cao Yu medicine. Cao Yu wanted him to give the medicine later, but Liu Chang didn't care and asked him to start directly. Cao Yu was taking the medicine , said with some pride: "This time, if it weren't for my loyal servant, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

"He went to poison himself twice, and brought me back safely!"

Liu Chang looked curiously at the servant who was feeding the medicine, but he didn't ask any more questions. After he finished feeding the medicine, Cao Yu waved his hand and said, "Baby, you go out first, don't prepare the food first." , Your Majesty, he can't eat light food."

Liu Chang watched the servant leave, and said: "This man is not bad, he has a good-looking talent and a dignified appearance."

"Well, his name is Wei Ying, and he is my best servant."

"Surname Wei???"

Liu Chang hurriedly asked.

Cao Yu nodded, and Liu Chang asked again: "Then does he still have a son?"

"yes."

Liu Chang seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly shouted to Lu Lu: "Go and call that servant in for me just now!"

Wei Ying stood in front of Liu Chang tremblingly. He was well-informed, and the emperor had met him several times, but he never thought that one day he would be able to talk to the emperor face to face. I couldn't help shivering.

Liu Chang was very gentle, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Wei Ying?"

"It's a humble name that dare not insult His Majesty's ears."

"That's not a cheap name. If you say that again, Marquis Ruyin and Marquis Yingyin will trouble you. By the way, you have a son? What's his name?"

"Called Wei Wen"

A look of disappointment flashed across Liu Chang's face, why isn't he called Wei Qing?Liu Chang got a lot of enlightenment in his dream. In his own era, the two famous generals who impressed him the most were a pair of uncles and nephews who made great achievements in battle. If they were combined, they might be able to surpass his teacher. .

Liu Chang vaguely remembered that they were born as domestic slaves, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with the Wei in front of him.

"I've heard about your matter, yes, I will reward you with ten gold as a reward for your loyal protection of the lord!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

Inside the prime minister's mansion, Zhang Cang was sitting in the study, with all kinds of documents piled up in front of him. Liu An sat obediently by the side, not writing anything, just watching Zhang Cang's operations.

Three pieces of paper were placed in front of Zhang Cang, which were the calculation data of the calendar, a piece of impeachment of local officials, and this year's farming budget.
Zhang Cang first calculated some calendar data, calculated for a while, then turned his head to look at the impeachment at the side, and commented below. After the comments, he began to read the final farming budget. Liu An took out the content he had reviewed. , and replaced him with something new.

Zhang Cang's operation made Liu An amazed. He has never seen such a person who never delays anything. Three completely different types of things can be handled at the same time without making mistakes. What kind of brain is this? It's outrageous.

No wonder my father is so leisurely on weekdays. If I have such an old monster by my side, I can go hunting all day without worrying about anything.

The right to handle all the government affairs in the court fell into the hands of Zhang Cang. My father might not be able to finish reading the memorials he had to deal with every day for three days, but Zhang Cang could not only read them, but also review them. Disposal, he read the memorial very fast, ten lines at a glance, but he could remember it.

It is said that this is the skill he learned when he guarded the royal collection of books in Qin State.

Speed ​​is not the most important thing, but precision is the most important thing. Liu An observed him carefully for a long time, but he didn't find a single mistake.

So busy until noon, Zhang Cang put down the pen and ink in his hand, and got up with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to have dinner together?"

"it is good."

Zhang Cang clapped his hands, and suddenly two young women came in, supported Zhang Cang and walked out of the study slowly, Liu An followed behind him, they took Zhang Cang into another room, and helped him change his clothes. Only then did I bring the clothes to eat with Liu An, even during the meal, there were still people helping Zhang Cang hold his shoulders.

It's a pity that with such a great talent, this life style is a bit unsightly.

Liu An secretly sighed, this old man seldom kneels on weekdays, but most of the time he sits on the bed, stretches out his legs, and asks people to wash his feet and massage his feet, even when he is dealing with government affairs, someone comes in to serve him. Really know how to enjoy it.

He never seems to make himself too tired, and he will not work day and night like Zhou Chang back then. He has to relax for four hours to make up for the three hours he has to do.

However, what he can do in these three hours is equivalent to the workload of others in three or four days, so it is really hard to say much.

Zhang Cang is also quite particular about food. Liu An can always eat a lot of strange meals at his place. The recipes are very different, and most of them are very delicious. What my father usually eats is nothing more than this.

"Your Highness came to my mansion and studied for a while, but what have you gained?"

Liu An smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your method is not something ordinary people can learn. Back then, the generals of the Tang State said that they had fought with the Marquis of Huaiyin for many years, but they couldn't learn his art of war at all, and they couldn't even understand his art of war." Tactics, I didn’t believe it at the beginning, but today I believe it.”

"I can't keep up with your processing speed. I haven't finished reading the memorial, but you have already processed it."

There was a trace of bewilderment in Liu An's eyes, just like when Zhou Bo and others saw Han Xin commanding the battle, their eyes were full of confusion. How did they do it? ?

Zhang Cang stroked his long beard and said seriously: "His Royal Highness, it is meaningless for you to come to study here, because you don't need to be like a minister at all, you need to be like the high emperor, your majesty today , they are the ones you should emulate."

"However, the reason why I have never objected is because I am very curious about a matter and want to ask His Highness what is going on."

"Oh? I don't know what you want to ask?"

"I would like to ask first, is your Highness willing to let Chao Cuo suffer for you?"

"what??"

Liu An was a little dazed, and shook his head hastily, "How could I do such a thing?"

"Your Highness really doesn't have such an idea?"

"Never."

"The minister will know that His Highness has talent, but lacks confidence."

"Why do you say that?"

Zhang Cang grinned, "I learned from Chao Cuo that when His Highness was about to carry out the assessment, the words he asked those people to take away were not what His Highness promoted. Chao Cuo came to name it, so that if something happens, His Highness will not be implicated."

"Not just the old minister, I'm afraid even His Majesty thinks so."

"But if His Highness really doesn't have such thoughts, it can only mean that His Highness can do good things without relying on Chao Cuo, but he lacks confidence. After you have the name of Chao Cuo, you immediately have confidence and think There are a lot of policies”

"Your Highness, Chao Cuo's words are not to accept Yang Zhu's scholars, but to strengthen their talents and divide them into ranks. It is completely different from what Your Highness is promoting, but fundamentally speaking, it is still somewhat similar."

Liu An's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Cang dully, with an expression of disbelief.

Although Liu An was inexperienced, he was not stupid. He knew the key point. When Zhang Cang said this, he immediately understood in his heart. He frowned and meditated, without saying a word.

And Zhang Cang didn't interrupt his thinking, just looked at him quietly.

"Chao Cuo didn't say it because he also felt that I deliberately made him bear a bad name. He didn't dare to say it. Feng Tang and Mao Chang went to meet Chao Cuo alone. They must know, and they didn't say it because they wanted to wait until it happened. Afterwards, tell me. You are telling me this now because of my two spouses."

Liu An said very calmly, Zhang Cang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad."

"Your Highness, the principles in the world are all interlinked. If you understand one of them, you will be able to understand the others. The more you do, the more proficient you will become. My current ability is not born with it, but also experienced. A long study."

"When I first studied with my teacher, I always felt that I was useless. Your Highness didn't know something. My senior brother is proficient in government affairs. When talking about the principles of governing the country, he is very clear. My second senior brother has implemented the principles of Legalism. Knowledge, self-contained."

"My third brother, who is proficient in Confucianism, draws inferences from one instance, and won't lose the wind in arguing with the teacher. There is also a beginner at the same time, who is unparalleled in eloquence and superb in swordsmanship. The rangers all avoid it."

"Compared to them, I am nothing, and there is no place where I can compete with them."

Liu An listened in a daze. He could vaguely guess the identities of Zhang Xiang's senior brothers. He hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, my teacher knew about my troubles, and he told me, you don't have to compete with the senior brother in governing the country, you don't need to compete with the second senior brother in knowledge, you don't need to compete with the second senior brother in knowledge, you don't need to compete with the third senior brother in eloquence, and you don't need to compete with the third senior brother Compete with Confucianism, compare mathematics with him, don't compare eloquence with the fourth senior brother, and compare knowledge with him."

Liu An was stunned, and murmured, "I really want to meet Xunzi."

"I think, although Your Highness doesn't have so many senior brothers, but there is a father who has achieved the extreme, and the troubles in his heart are probably the same as mine. Your Highness doesn't have to think about how to surpass His Majesty, and you don't have to belittle yourself. Not as good as His Majesty."

"You should continue to study, strengthen your strengths, let yourself have the strengths, and use your strengths to compare with your majesty's weaknesses."

Zhang Cang smiled and blinked.

At that moment, Liu An only felt that his whole body was relaxed a lot. The older he got, the less smile on Liu An's face. Liu Chang was like a mountain, pressing heavily on him, no matter what field he was in, Father seems to have reached the extreme, not to mention surpassing, even if he wants to catch up, it is almost impossible.

After Liu Chang fell ill, Liu An was unable to deal with domestic affairs, which made him see the gap between himself and his father. The stronger his father was, the greater the pressure on him, and he felt more and more incompetent. Lost confidence, eager to express themselves and prove themselves.

"Your Highness, these days, in order to get His Majesty's praise, he has been busy all day, working hard, and almost wants to do everything. In fact, this is not necessary. Now is not the time for you to work hard. You can do as much as you want. You are still young, learn slowly and do more of what you are good at, good or bad."

When Liu An came out of Zhang Cang's mansion, Liu An looked a little dazed. Zhang Cang's words pointed directly to his heart, making him suddenly understand many things.

Feng Tang and the rest of the family were standing outside the door, they all looked a little tired.

During these days, Liu An is always busy. He almost has to intervene in all domestic affairs. He is eager to prove himself, and his family members are naturally busy with him. They have never rested for a long time, but the more The more eager you are, the less smooth things will be.

When Liu An came out, several servants hurried forward.

"Your Highness, are you alright??"

Feng Tang was the first to notice His Highness's expression, and Mao Chang on the side quickly said: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the matter of King Baicheng, I have already sent someone to contact you, and I will take you there later. For the specific situation, Jumeng has already gone to Dianke to inquire."

"No need."

Liu An waved his hand.

Mao Chang was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him in surprise, "Your Highness, this is you."

"Let Jumeng come back. The foreign king should be greeted by a Dianke. What does it have to do with me? Today, you all get ready and come with me."

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

"Five Cauldron Building! Call the best musicians. Today I will have a drink with you all. We will discuss learning together, compete in calligraphy, sing poetry, and dance in pairs!!"

Liu An spoke loudly, and the people in the house looked at each other in blank dismay.

At that moment, Liu An grinned and felt so comfortable, relaxed, and comfortable all over his body. He simply ignored everything and jumped into the car singing, "Go! Go to Wuding Tower!! I want to personally help everyone Play a song!!"

Without hesitation, Mrs. Zhang rushed out without hesitation. Feng Tang and Mao Chang looked at each other, got on their horses, and followed behind the carriage.

On this day, the Wuding Building became extremely lively. More than 30 talented scholars and virtuous men gathered on the fifth floor. Surrounded by everyone, Liu An began to compose poems and recite Fu, and led them to dance. Liu An's literary talent is very That's right, everyone applauded one after another, and he also played the instrument very well, and even the song was so beautiful.

Everyone was drunk, when suddenly someone posed an academic problem for Mr. Huang. Liu An staggered to his feet, waved his sleeves to the crowd, and explained loudly. No matter what the big deal, he easily used the theories of various schools of thought to solve these problems.

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and clapped their hands again.

A few young people staggered into the Wuding Building, Zhou Zuoche supported Zhou Sheng, and asked drunkenly, "We haven't woken up from the wine this morning, so we want to come to drink again?"

"The wine in the morning didn't go well, it stayed in his throat, I have to get some more wine to beat him down!!"

"The wine in the morning is on your head, it still hurts now, how can you drink it again?"

"What's that drink? I'm fine. Just follow me. It's not your invitation. What are you talking about?"

Zhou Sheng spoke loudly, and the rest of the group of sages also swayed, followed Zhou Sheng with difficulty, and walked slowly to the fifth floor. Zhou Sheng was the tallest, and was the first to see the situation on the fifth floor.

Liu An, dressed in rags, was enthusiastically dancing among several dancers, holding swords and shields, singing and dancing wildly, and several people gathered around him and applauded.

Zhou Sheng was stunned at that moment, turned around and walked downstairs.

The rest of Qunxian hurriedly stopped him, "What's wrong??"

"It seems that I did drink too much, and I have hallucinations. We can't drink any more, so let's go back."

ps: In the past two days, I have had a severe fever, but my head doesn't hurt, but my throat and body hurt very much. I feel like I'm going to fall apart. I wrote for a whole day and several hours, and only wrote two chapters.
