Father Han Gaozu

When Liu An sat in the upper seat and said these words seriously, the room was extremely quiet.

Whether it was the ministers who came to look for him, or those prominent Chehous, they were all stunned and astonished at the moment.

Even Liu An's servants and retainers stared wide-eyed at this moment.

"Your Highness? What did you say?"

"I said Father did the right thing."

"Taixue is a place where talents and talents are selected for the country. Only those with talents and virtues live there. If they have talents and virtues, what are they afraid of being judged? If they don't have talents, even if they are relatives of the emperor, what face do they have to stay in Taixue?" School?!"

"What do you think Taixue is? Is it a place for descendants to seek official titles?!"

"In the pre-Qin period, as long as a person with a title didn't die because of a war, his son would be demoted when he inherited the title. My Emperor Han Gao was kind enough to give you hereditary treatment. Don't you guys still Are you satisfied?! Do you have to compete with those who have real talents?!"

"If you think this is not enough, I will go to father tomorrow and ask him to restore Qin's policy, abolish this hereditary replacement, and change to Qin law!!"

"Since you know that your children don't have much talent, let them stay at home with peace of mind, inherit the title, have more children, and don't release them to harm others!!"

Liu An's tone instantly became cold.

Everyone was stunned.

"Why did His Highness insult you so lightly?"

Guo Ou, Marquis of Heling asked angrily, he is currently serving in Fengchang Mansion, he is the second in command of Fengchang Mansion, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful man, his father is Guo Ting, Marquis of Heling Qing, who is a general of Lu Ze, the head of the Lu family. The confidant is also very confident when speaking in the temple. Liu An's words obviously angered this important minister.

But Liu An looked at him, "How can this be regarded as humiliation? If your child is talented, let him participate in the assessment. How difficult can the assessment be? Doesn't it prove your talent if you pass it? Your My son, Guo Ke, I know this man. He has been domineering and bullying others in Taixue all the year round. His crimes are not less than those of Zhang Hao. It’s not that you suppressed it forcefully, I’m afraid he would have been beaten to death by the Tai students a long time ago. When he heard about the assessment, he started jumping up and down again, and dared to summon the Tai students to say that he would oppose the temple’s assessment!!”

"Is your son more noble than Zhang Lu?!"

"Or are you more powerful than my aunt?!"

"I didn't execute your son, but you dare to yell at me here?!"

Liu An questioned a few words, which made Guo Ou speechless, and lowered his head bitterly. Guo Ou is actually a good person, with some abilities, and his personal virtues are better than other Chehou. It is a pity that he is a good friend with Liu An. It was his son, who was really unbearable, and he was a well-known villain in the Taixue.

Guo Ou turned around and was about to leave, but just after taking two steps, someone blocked him directly.

That person was Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang looked at him with disdain at the moment, "Did Your Highness let you go?"

"Go away!!"

Guo Ou was about to push Zhang Fu, and Zhang Fu punched Guo Ou directly in the abdomen. Guo Ou fell to the ground immediately, covering his abdomen in pain, and shrank his body like a lobster. Zhang Fu pointed at his head. Another kick, and then he was about to draw out his sword with a smirk. The surrounding ministers were stunned at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness!! Marquis Che can't be executed at will!! Your Highness!!"

Liu An just looked at Zhang Fu calmly, without any intention of obstructing him.

Liu An's sudden change frightened the officials. Seeing that the sword in Zhang Fu's hand was about to stab Guo Ou's neck, the ministers and Chehou hurriedly knelt down and begged Liu An to forgive Guo Ou.

Only then did Liu An stretch out his hand, "Okay, don't dirty the ground here, send it to Ting Wei, and let Ting Wei thoroughly investigate his son's behavior over the years!!"

Zhang Fu was a little helpless, muttered a few words, and reluctantly put away the long sword.

Guo Ou was dragged out by Mrs. Zhang without any image, and the officials felt aggrieved.

Jiyang Hou Dudan, the Taizhong doctor, gritted his teeth, and said in grief and indignation: "Your Highness, please resign! After returning this time, I will not come to Your Highness again. I will resign from my official position and return to my hometown."

Liu An didn't even listen to him, and interrupted him very simply.

"Very good, Cheng Bushi, you come to take over and be the Taizhong doctor. By the way, there are still those who want to resign. Let's resign now. I have [-] disciples under my command, which is enough to hold any position!! I The servants under your command are worrying about not being able to get a promotion, if you are willing to resign, just speak directly!!"

Liu An waved his hand, "Send off the guests!!"

The officials and the Chehous left the Prince's Mansion almost in a daze. They were completely stunned, and they didn't understand why His Royal Highness, who was usually benevolent and caring for the people, suddenly became like that tyrant?Everyone has been looking forward to this prince who is benevolent and loving for the people to inherit the throne, thinking that the situation may be different, but looking at it today, why does this prince look like a tyrant? ? ?
Not to mention them, even Liu An's servants and followers were also very surprised at the moment.

Seeing them all leave, Liu An felt refreshed for some reason.

He suddenly laughed out loud, very freely and unscrupulously, that laughter was even a bit similar to that of the one in Houde Palace.

"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"

Feng Tang asked.

"Mr. Feng, I've never been so happy. It's great to be so happy. Mother is right. The man is upright. As a prince, why am I afraid of these people?! My father is still alive."

Liu An's eyes suddenly became a little different, which made Feng Tang a little dazed.

After Feng Tang came to his senses, he also laughed, "Your Highness is right, what does Your Highness have to be afraid of? All scholars in the world are willing to follow you, what are they?!"

Liu An only felt so relaxed all over, and he called all his servants again.

"Everyone, I think you all know about the matter of the Taixue this time. Father is going to hold an assessment to find out the situation of the Taixue students. He will send all the disciples to the Taixue, and ask them to find out whether there are any of these Taixue students who are like Zhang. Once a person like Guo Ke is discovered, regardless of his identity, he will be taken down by me!!"

"Weiwei!!"

With a big wave of Liu An's hand, everyone left. Immediately, thousands of visitors went to Taixue, including countless celebrities, which made the whole Chang'an flustered.

When Liu An returned to the backyard, Tiying was frightened by the actions in the front yard, and hurriedly asked, "Did you?"

Before she could finish asking, Liu An directly hugged her by the waist.

"Your Highness!! It's still daytime!!"

"Hahaha, I still have a lot of things to do later, I have to do things in advance tonight!!"

"My brother is crazy."

"It's really crazy, I'm not lying."

A certain King of Great Xia was sitting in front of many fellow sects at the moment, swearing about the major events that have caused a sensation in Chang'an.

"Didn't you see that thousands of people went to Taixue in a mighty way? Those are all learned people. The Taixue students may not be able to argue with them. They arrested hundreds of people in a day, didn't they Chehou is also a Guanneihou. Several of my friends have been arrested. I heard that Chehou has already died in the prison. He was a big Chehou with several thousand food towns. His name was Guo or something. He committed suicide directly in the prison. It is said that Mrs. Zhang humiliated and killed him."

"My elder brother is definitely possessed by some dirty thing. He was a normal person a few days ago. He has gone crazy these two days. Pingyang Marquis Cao Qi knows? He was going to leave for corvee service today. As a result, last night, in the middle of the night, my elder brother deliberately went to Pingyang Hou Mansion, and when he arrived, he beat Cao Qi, and Cao Qi was beaten up crying. Cao Qi was crying there, and my elder brother was laughing and crying there. The worse he was, the harder he laughed. Cao Qi still doesn't know why the crown prince deliberately went there in the middle of the night to beat him up."

"Now he sees who is biting whom, and he is forcing his own policy, saying that anyone who opposes him will be executed."

"My mother was stunned. After hearing this, she ran to Houde Hall and I took the opportunity to run out."

While Liu Ci was talking about these things, Hu Wusheng, Gongsun Hong, Dong Zhongshu and others sat in front of him, listening to his nonsense carefully.

Liu Ci said in a low voice: "I've been thinking about it all night, and I finally figured it out. My eldest brother thinks that he has been the prince for too long, so he wants to seize the throne in advance! I am also hesitant now. You say, according to today's In the current situation, should I contribute? Or help security?"

Dong Zhongshu listened to his bragging very calmly, cleared his throat, and gestured behind him.

Liu Ci's face suddenly became stiff, and he turned his head slowly.

Liu An was standing at the door, listening to his words with a gentle face.

"Brother?? When did you come?"

"Come when you're considering which side to help."

Liu An grabbed him by the back of the neck, pulled him up, and threw him to a doorman behind him, "Take this guy to Tingwei too, don't treat him like a prince, lock him up for three days, let him I also suffer, reflect on it!!"

Liu Ci was terrified and shouted: "Brother!! I will help you!! I will help you!!!"

"Seven days off!!!"

When the doormen dragged Liu Ci away, he was still yelling in grief and indignation. Liu An sat gently in front of them and looked at Hu Wusheng.

"I'm here this time for you and Gongsun Hong."

"Fengchang Mansion is a bit empty. I would like to invite you to take over Guo Ou and assist Duke Lu. Would you like it?"

Hu Wusheng looked at Liu An with some doubts, and asked back: "His Highness has always acted slowly, why is it suddenly so?"

"I was like that in the past, and I will be like that in the future. I can't do it to the same level as my father. I just think that I don't have to give in too much. Up to now, I still feel that I have to learn things slowly, but it's not because I'm afraid. The wealthy clan made troubles, but because they were worried that acting too hastily would be detrimental to the scholars who really came to study.”

Liu An is extremely confident at the moment, "Fengchang Mansion is extremely powerful, and you know that most of the people who want to serve as Sangong use Feng Changlai as a springboard. Most of Fengchang Mansion today are insects, and they cannot be compared with them." As a co-worker, I know who you are as a person, and I also know your talents and learning, this position must belong to you. Please don't refuse!!"

Hu Wusheng no longer hesitated, got up and paid homage to see him, "I take orders!"

Liu An was overjoyed, smiled and helped Hu Wusheng up, and said: "There is a lack of people like you around me!"

"Since I was recommended by His Highness, I have to say what I have said. Although I can't say that His Highness's behavior in the past few days is wrong, it is uncharacteristically abusing lynching. This matter is inappropriate. Please also ask Your Highness to put away your servants and sit down Prince's Mansion, order all the officials to come to pay respects, and follow the order of the temple!"

Hu Wusheng remonstrated solemnly.

There was no trace of anger on Liu An's face, and he took his hand happily, "You are right, I will correct it right away, please stand by my side and supervise my behavior at all times, if there is something inappropriate You can bring it up at any time, and I will definitely correct it!"

Hu Wusheng agreed, and Liu An looked at Gong Sunhong, "You will be the Chang'an order from today, and you will take over now!"

Gong Sunhong didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and hurriedly got up to answer.

Dong Zhongshu was stunned a long time ago. At this moment, he just lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich, hoping that the prince would not notice him, but Liu An still saw him. Liu An said with some displeasure: "I asked you to follow Liu Ci to let you Bringing him on the right path is not to make you mess around with him! Liu Cidu has gone to Tingwei, so don't be idle, go in and accompany him! If he wants to do something stupid in the future, you can persuade him. If you can’t be persuaded, you will be punished together!!”

"only"

Dong Zhongshu's face was full of bitterness.

Why did I come to learn Gongyang Zhuan in the first place? ?
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, the Hall of Houde at this moment is also extremely lively.

Liu Chang sat in the top position, surrounded by close ministers on the left and right.

Zhang Cang, Zhang Buyi, Chao Cuo, Luan Bu, Tai Pu, Lu Jia, Wang Tianqi, Lu Tazhi, Zhou Yafu, Xuan Moru, Zhang Meng, all the important officials in the country were present and sat in Liu Chang's seat in order. On the left and right, all kinds of wine, meat and delicacies were placed in front of them, which proved that this time it was just the emperor's simple banquet for them, not to discuss any major matters. Liu Chang's face was full of smiles at the moment, and he looked extremely happy.

Speaking of which, Liu Chang was also surprised by Liu An.

Liu An didn't follow his orders to make red faces and white faces, but directly turned the table to let those people know what it means to be a prince with great power in his hands. light.

Liu Chang was overjoyed, this Lizi actually has such courage? ?
Yes, it is my son!

After so many years of training, I finally saw some results.

Everyone felt that Liu An's behavior suddenly started to look like his father's, but Liu Chang knew that the two of them were still different. Although Liu An arrested people, they were all under the rules, and there were crimes to follow. Let's say that Guo Ou , His son had killed someone, and he helped to conceal it. Based on this alone, it is not wrong to arrest him at all.If Liu Chang does things, then no matter what the rules are or are not, whether there is a crime or not, as long as you are against yourself, you will do it directly. Compared with Liu Chang, Liu An is still a lot more stable. The biggest change is actually no longer thinking about it. too much.

If you read too many books, you will have too many thoughts, and you will think of many consequences before doing things, and you will be full of various worries.

This is the biggest shortcoming of the prince, and today, he finally overcomes this shortcoming, let's do it first! !

Seeing Liu Chang's happy appearance, Zhang Buyi was also delighted from the bottom of his heart.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"

"Gentlemen, congratulations to Your Majesty!!"

Zhang Buyi raised the wine cup and toasted the emperor.

"I once said in the past that your majesty is good at teaching children. Although the prince is not as good as your majesty, he can be a good lord for success. But now it seems that the prince will definitely be a wise lord in the future. Although he is not as good as your majesty, he is better than others!!"

The mood of the ministers was a little complicated at the moment, but when they heard Zhang Buyi's words, they could only forcefully agree with a smile.

But Luan Bu said: "Your Majesty, there is only one point. It is quite inappropriate for the Crown Prince to conduct business as a private guest. Please also inform the Crown Prince in time, Your Majesty, don't do things like this again."

At such a time, only Luan Bu dared to say that. Liu Chang waved his hand, "Hahaha, you don't know, do you? Just now, he has already written a letter, declaring his fault, and has corrected his mistake." There are still some skills."

When Luan Bu heard about it, he didn't say anything more, and nodded in agreement, "It's okay to be stricter after learning something like this."

Chao Cuo was a little unhappy, and his face was rather ugly.

He said: "Your Majesty, the prince's actions are a bit too radical. Since the investigation of the Taixue matter is almost done, it is better to let His Highness stop."

"Huh?? You actually think that Lizi has gone too far?"

Luan Bu sneered and said, "He thinks the prince has robbed him of his work, and everyone has been arrested by the prince. Who will he arrest?"

The officials suddenly laughed, and Chao Cuo blushed, but he couldn't refute.

Another Zongzheng Liu Guang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, that is... this King Xia was also arrested by the prince and put in prison. The prince will not allow them to show mercy."

"It deserves it! Give this Zhu Zi, if he doesn't suffer like this, he won't know right from wrong! Shut him up for ten days!"

The ministers drank and ate meat together, and the atmosphere was not as stiff as imagined.

After eating and drinking, Liu Chang looked at the crowd a little drunk, "I'm getting old. We're all getting old too. Come on! Play music!!"

Some musicians began to play songs, and Liu Chang pulled Luan Bu off to dance. The officials were probably drunk, and they no longer cared about their identities, so they all jumped off the stage. Liu Chang sang loudly. What he sang was actually very heroic, and the monarchs and ministers played until late at night, before Liu Chang was supported by a few soldiers and returned to the inner hall.

Cao Shu, Fan Qing, and Yong'e were all awake, waiting for him to come back.

After Liu Chang came back, he was surrounded by the three of them.

Cao Shu was most worried, "Why does Your Majesty drink so much again? What about Ann? How is the situation there?"

Hearing what Liu An was doing outside, the three giants in the harem were of course also very scared, especially Cao Shu, who hadn't been able to sleep well for the past few days, and what was annoying was that this Lizi didn't come forward either. He came to tell her, but he just wrote a letter to his father to explain the situation. Cao Shu didn't know what was going on with him, and had been waiting for Liu Chang to come back and explain to her.

Liu Chang raised his head drunkenly, stretched out his hand, and shouted loudly.

"The one who secures my home is the prince!"
