Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 681 Why are those who hold the country in their hands afraid of Chen Ping?
Liu An obediently sat on the left side.

He lowered his head with an honest look.

Empress Lu sat on the top seat, and on the right were two big figures of the same weight.

Lu Wei and Liu Le's expressions were different. Lu Wei looked a little angry, and her dissatisfaction was almost written on her face. She didn't dare to glare at Queen Lu, but just glared at Liu An who was sitting opposite, while Liu Le was Sobbing softly.

This time, the people of Fan City and Zhang Huo were imprisoned together. Although it is common for officials to be imprisoned after Liu Chang came to power, this is also a situation. Like Chao Cuo, he contradicted the emperor and was sent to prison for reflection and doing It's a very different situation to do something wrong and be sent to jail.And what happened this time was even more rumored. Although the children of the rich and powerful occupy the majority in Taixue, fortunately, the books they have read for so many years are not in vain. Killing classmates is a heinous crime! !

Some Tai students have even begun to gather. If the temple does not deal with this matter strictly, they will jointly sign a letter, or simply rob and kill Zhang Xu.

In terms of standpoint, they are actually the same as Zhang Lu, they are all from rich and powerful backgrounds, but the moral cultivation of these rich and powerful sons is not low, especially the group in Taixue. The outstanding group of people, and the big man is extremely respectful of morality. Learning and morality are basically bound together. If your personal morality is not good, you will lose your student status. Even if you want to become a scholar, you don’t have that chance , To be a scholar of learning, you may not really need learning, but you must have morality.

Be filial, benevolent, anyway, humiliating and killing classmates is absolutely unacceptable.

It can be said that Zhang Hua's behavior completely aroused the anger of the public, even the students of the same camp all wanted to attack him.

The people of Fan City can only be said to be unlucky. The main reason is that they were unlucky with Wang Gao. After Wang Gao took over as Fuqiubo, the academic competition in Taixue became extremely fierce. He is not as capable as Fuqiubo. Treating everyone equally, always favoring Huang Lao, of course, this is also common sense, if you don't favor your own people, should you still favor outsiders?This kind of behavior quickly caused many schools to be extremely dissatisfied with the current Taixue leaders. Even a small school like Kanyu can't bear it, which shows how intense the conflict is.

The people of Fan City were so worried about this matter, they ran around to appease the students of various factions, and wrote letters to the General Council, asking for assistance. As a result, the disciple who appealed could not find him, and finally he fell into a disadvantageous position. The charge, this charge can be big or small, but according to the current public opinion, it may be difficult to deal with it lightly.

Although Lu Wei doesn't love city people as much as he likes to have children, but after all, he is a child raised by himself. It is impossible to say that he has no feelings, and his own child is locked up for no reason, which makes Lu Wei feel quite Annoyed, can the people from my Wuyang Hou Mansion catch them if they want?Do you know who my beloved is?Do you know who my eldest sister is?She felt that she was underestimated, the whole Wuyanghou Mansion was underestimated, and that was the reason for her anger.

Liu Le is different. She really raised Zhang Lu as her own child. In terms of treating her adopted son well, Liu Le has inherited the style of Empress Lu. She loves the two children who were not born by herself. In addition, she is very strict with her own son Zhang Yan, and she is very demanding. When she learned that her son was locked up and his life was in danger, she was very panicked and hurried to the palace, just wanting to protect her own life. The son seeks a way out.

Empress Lu sat on the top seat with a calm expression and no disturbances. The old lady had not interfered in government affairs for many years, but if the crutch in her hand was slammed on the ground, the big man would still tremble three times.
"I've heard about it."

Empress Lu opened her mouth.

"You are not a son of man!!!"

Immediately made his own evaluation.

Hearing this sentence, Liu Le was shocked, and hurriedly cried and pleaded guilty, "Mother, I was not good at discipline, but I was still young, and I handed over to the gangster by mistake, and made such a mistake, please forgive him for this mistake." Just once, I will definitely take him back, discipline him well, and this will never happen again!"

"Mishandled the gangsters? He is the one in the lead! It's almost the same if others mistakenly handed him in!"

Empress Lu said angrily: "You are certainly not effective in discipline, do you think you can escape punishment yourself? You should think about how to save yourself, and then think about how to save your son!"

"Grandmother, there is no reason for fighting in the same room. We are all one family. Back then, my lover was not executed for treason. Why should he be executed for the crime of extravagance? I can use the title of title and the city to mitigate his crimes." Punishment, mother. Just forgive him this once!!!"

Liu An lowered his head even more, but luckily he found his mother in time.

If he were to face this aunt, he would really be helpless. His father told him that seniority should be used to overwhelm seniority, which was indeed true.

Empress Lu did not soften her heart because of her daughter's crying. The old lady usually looks so gentle, but at this time, he is stronger than Liu Chang. Liu Chang may hesitate and struggle because of his sister's crying. But Empress Lu won't, let alone crying, even if she committed suicide in front of her, she would not change her mind. Looking at the crying Liu Le, Empress Lu was extremely angry, "Your son is the most precious? Then Isn't the student who was forced to death not precious in his parents' hearts?"

"What kind of merit do you think you are able to enjoy today's wealth? Are you born honorable? After Zhang Ao passed away, how did you discipline your children? Your son was executed, and this is all your own. Fault!! No one can blame me!!"

Empress Lu's reprimand made Liu Le forget to continue crying for a while, and stared at Aunt dumbfounded.

"This matter has aroused public outrage, how can we convince the public if we don't kill him?"

"Even in Qi State in the past, it was never heard that someone in Jixia Academy humiliated and murdered his classmates because of their birth. Such a scandal actually appeared in my house, which is really resentful!! If I didn't think about your early widow, I would I will order you to be executed now!!"

Liu Le was frightened and looked at Empress Lu in astonishment.

Because she knew that grandma never frightened others casually, if she could say these words, then she could really do so.

Liu An was also trembling with fright, he had never seen the aunt so angry.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Lu Wei's face was a little stiff, and she didn't dare to stare at Liu An anymore, she just said softly: "Why does the whole family have their own reasons for saying that they can't kill the eldest sister, this matter is indeed our fault in the first place."

It can be seen that Lu Wei is also afraid at the moment, and now she is only going to execute Zhang Xu, and the ghost knows whether even the city people will be executed if I say what I say.

Empress Lu sneered, "And you don't have to put on a show here, don't I know what you think? You think the city people are wronged, they are busy with everything, and they don't take care of it, so they shouldn't be punished too much, right?" ?Since he has held such an important official title, he should do his job well, and nothing is a reason for him to get away with it! He is not wronged, let alone innocent!! His Majesty entrusted Taixue to him, these During the year, Taixue frequently had accidents, this is a talent that is not worthy of his position!! Do you still feel wronged?!"

"Don't dare."

"Don't dare to block the gate of the palace?? Dare not to reprimand the current court Jiuqing. Zhang Meng was reprimanded by you as your own slave. Tell me, who gave you the power?!"

Lu Wei's face was pale and she dared not speak.

"If I didn't call you here today, are you still planning to threaten Ann? Huh?"

Empress Lu looked at Liu An, and Liu An approached wisely and helped the Empress Dowager up.

Empress Lu looked at them and said coldly: "Le, you should send someone to find the murdered Gao Sheng's family right now, give them money, and get their forgiveness. In this way, your son can die with dignity. Otherwise, I will let his sword be added to his body, and he will die!"

"Go and apologize to Zhang Meng and get his understanding, otherwise, I will let you lose one son!"

The two stood up in horror and hurriedly agreed.

Empress Lu left here unhurriedly, walking on the path in the palace, Liu An carefully supported the eldest mother, silent, still remembering just now in his mind, the strength of the eldest mother was completely given to him. Eyes opened.

At first, he thought that his father was acting cruelly, but he didn't expect that in front of the eldest mother, his father was simply a well-behaved lamb.

"Do you think I'm too ruthless?"

Empress Lu suddenly asked.

Liu An didn't hide anything, and nodded, "Auntie, did you really want to execute Aunt just now?"

Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, but did not answer, "An, the world is not the emperor at all, not those big wealthy families, nor these relatives. The world is basically the people."

"If you want to govern the world well, you don't have to pay too much attention to whether you are a powerful family or a noble family. The most important thing you care about is whether you can convince the common people. Back then, your father wanted to convince everyone in the world, that's why he became emperor. , if the people in the world are not convinced by your actions, then the powerful families in the world are on your side, I am afraid that you will perish too. Do you think it is those powerful families that caused Qin to perish? It is because the people in the world are not convinced by King Qin Ah, even the old Qin people opened the city gates to welcome your great father. Can they still not perish?"

"In the past few years, you have been supporting poor people from all over the world. I think you have done a good job. But, you do these things just to use their power to fight against the rich and break the monopoly. This is not right."

"I value them because they are the foundation of the world, not to check and balance any unnecessary Chihou."

"When I ruled the big man, people all over the world were very convinced. Therefore, the rich people knelt down in front of me and begged for mercy, and they dared not be rude. Those Chehou and the rich people were very afraid of me and hated me in their hearts. But the local people are not like this , the policy I implemented will benefit them, because they respect me very much, even if the wealthy families want to harm me, they will not have that chance. So, don’t be too afraid of these wealthy families, as long as everyone in the world is convinced, that’s enough. As long as the people of the world are convinced of you, even a strategist like Chen Ping can only choose to avoid you and dare not confront you head-on."

"If you lose the support of the common people, then even mediocrity like your elder father can be against you."

Liu An was still listening with relish, but when he heard the last sentence, he felt something was wrong.

"Is my elder father taking over the world as a pavilion chief? Is this considered mediocre???"

"If there is no one to support him, so what if he is talented? Besides, he really doesn't have much talent, just like your father, so it's not worth mentioning."

Liu An only felt a little numb, and nodded blankly.

"It's useless to engage in those conspiracies and tricks. It's useless to learn from Chen Ping. To govern the world, you only need to convince the people at the bottom and let them eat their stomachs. Then no one can compete with you. Therefore, governing The world should be dignified and upright, the emperor of the Han Dynasty holds the country in his hand, so what can he do like Chen Ping, Han Xin and Xiao He?!"

Liu An seemed to understand something, but it was not so clear.

He knew that although the mother's methods were a bit ruthless, they were really good to the people at the bottom. Many benevolent government prototypes of the big man were established during the reign of the queen mother, and they won the hearts of the people.

Empress Lu just babbled all the way, and told Liu An a lot. In the near future, Empress Lu may not be in a good mood. Liu Ying's physical condition is getting worse and worse. It seems that it cannot be changed by relying on manpower. Xia Wu He also led dozens of well-known medical masters to treat them all day long, but it didn't work. The main reason is that Liu Ying seemed to have seen it, and she didn't want to be tossed like this again. She expressed many times that she wanted to imitate her father and give them money , tell them to fuck off.

Empress Lu didn't seem to care about Liu Ying, but actually summoned Xia Wuqie several times to inquire about the situation.

Liu An sent the eldest mother to the Shoutian, and left here in a hurry.

There are still many things to do. The pressure from the elders was resolved by the aunt. The next step is to go to Ting Wei and start to deal with these people
Empress Lu's appearance this time not only frightened the two elders, but many dignitaries who originally wanted to intervene in the matter also hurriedly chose to retreat at this moment. They also learned about the matter of Empress Lu's appearance, and they still know how to choose Yes, it is better to offend the emperor than to offend the queen mother. This makes Liu An's follow-up work very easy. No one dares to intervene anymore. Tingwei's officials also expressed their full support. The matter is easy to solve, but then the emperor wants to clear up the Taixue matter, which becomes a bit complicated.

I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that the emperor was dissatisfied with the current Taixue students and wanted to change a group of people to enter the Taixue. This caused restlessness among the Taixue students. Fortunately, Wang Tianqi came forward in time and arrested several leaders. , so that the soldiers were stationed in various places, and the further deterioration of the situation was curbed by tough means.

But the ministers had a quarrel, and many of their descendants were in Taixue.

They dare not object to the investigation of Taixue, because if they say so, it will expose that their children have no talents, but only enter the gilded nature of Taixue. Therefore, most of them are against the changes in the system of those Taixue, such as the banning of boy boys , opposed to the refinement of the assessment system, thinking that this would hinder the big Han Naxian Liu Chang, of course he would not care about their ideas, and acted recklessly. All the ministers and princes wrote letters one after another, and Chang'an became extremely lively again.

Among the Tai students, some people even said that such an assessment was a contempt and humiliation to the emperor's distrust of him, and he would rather die than participate!

They agreed with each other that they would never participate in this assessment, mobilize more people, and refuse this investigation. They absolutely cannot accept such humiliation!

Many people are worried that such a situation will lead to more bloodshed.

Under such circumstances, Taixue’s first full-staff assessment began. Liu Chang’s meaning was very clear. If you don’t participate in the assessment, you will be disqualified directly and go home. If you participate, you must take a good assessment. If you fail Still have to get the hell out and go home.

At that time, many people left Taixue voluntarily, and many of them were the children of powerful and powerful people. Of course, there were also familiar people, such as Zhou Sheng from Zhou Sheng's family, Wang Chulong from Wang Tianqi's family, etc. They had no knowledge at all, so they entered Because of the family relationship, Taixue just wanted to gain qualifications. Now that all members are assessed, they will definitely fail. Rather than being forced to go home if they fail, it is better to leave now.

Of course, after resigning from school and returning home, a beating is unavoidable.

Wang Chulong was hung on the beam by his elder father and beat him all night. As for Zhou Sheng, he was proud because his father was not at home, so he was called by Zhou Yafu to give him a beating. This is the family law.

The temple still attached great importance to this assessment, and dispatched soldiers to maintain the local order, for fear of any trouble, but Liu Chang was very relieved because the person in charge of this assessment was Fu Qiubo, who was in Taixue Li has a very high prestige, and those imperial students who planned to make trouble during the assessment, they also became honest after seeing him. During the time when Wang Gao was in the important position, the imperial students knew the goodness of Fu Qiubo. , The voice asking for Fuchubo to come back is extremely loud in Taixue.

While Taixue was conducting the assessment, the atmosphere in the temple was also extremely tense.

"Your Highness, why is this so?"

"Just because the princess's family bullied and killed people, all our children are going to be kicked out of Taixue?? How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"Why is Your Majesty so partial?"

"Yes, Your Majesty was bewitched by traitors like Chao Cuo. Your Highness, you have to persuade Your Majesty not to do this."

The ministers first found the prince and wanted the prince to stand out, because this matter was against the emperor, and a person who would not be punished by the emperor was needed to be the leader and lead them to oppose.

There is no one more suitable than the prince, and the prince has always been benevolent and loving for the people, so he will definitely not let them down.

In fact, Liu Chang also had the same idea. There is no one more suitable than his son.

Hearing the complaints from the people around him, Liu An's face became more serious.

He frowned, clenched his fists, and seemed to be struggling.

The big mother's words sounded in his ears again, Liu An's heart gradually calmed down, he let go of his fist, and his eyes became firm.

"Father did the right thing!"
