Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 763 Three thousand diners, none mediocre
The old Liu family has more or less a hobby of collecting stamps, and they can't walk when they see talents.

Among these people, Liu An is one of the best.

Liu An's eyes were quite venomous, relying on his huge appeal in the Huang-Lao School and his status as the crown prince, he recruited a large number of young talents for his own use, known as three thousand followers.

And this three thousand is not even an exaggeration, he really has thousands of customers.

Some of these disciples who follow Liu An are good at learning, and some are good at fighting. They are not limited to the Huang-Lao school. There are many sages from different schools. If you put the names of these disciples, you can know the gold content in them. They are all figures that can be recorded in history.

Liu An is very good at winning people, but his way of winning people is not the same as Liu Chang. Liu Chang and others use their extraordinary personal charm and sincerity to make others work for them, but Liu An uses his own knowledge. And eloquence, persuading others to use it for him, I can’t say which method is better. During these days, Liu An has gathered a large number of followers, implemented many policies, and gradually arranged his followers to various places, so that they Actively participate in the work of county schools and local schools, and recruit more talents for him.

Liu An has always believed that the most important thing to govern a country is people.

He got the benefits. He said that there was a lack of officials in Wa County. When Luan Bu was at a loss, Liu An sent a helping hand and directly sent more than a hundred people to Wo County to serve as officials. Luan Bu was very happy to be a talented person who is good at government affairs, and even wrote a letter to praise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But he can't avoid this disadvantage.

Although the people under Liu An's command are capable people, they will have personal shortcomings. In these years, many of Liu An's disciples have made big mistakes, and these mistakes are all borne by the prince , there are too many followers of the prince, and there is no guarantee that everyone is a gentleman with perfect morals. Liu Chang once persuaded Liu An because of this incident. There is no need to collect so many people, only some people with outstanding abilities are enough. .

To appease the Taiwei is nothing to Liu Chang at all.

Liu An felt that the Taiwei would kill his disciples because of such a thing, but Liu Chang knew the Taiwei's character very well, he would not, and if he wanted to solve this matter, avoiding was simply the worst choice.

When Liu Chang held Liu An by the back of his neck and dragged him into Taiwei's mansion.

Han Xin was sitting in the mansion with Zhou Bo, they were talking about something.

Seeing Liu An, Han Xin's complexion suddenly became a little bad.

Liu Chang grinned, "Master, I brought you this Shuzi. This Shuzi actually ordered his disciples to beat your son secretly. It is simply lawless, please punish!!"

Han Xin snorted coldly, then stared at the aggrieved Liu An, and asked, "If it wasn't for your father, you wouldn't want to come to my mansion?"

"it's not true."

"Why, you also hide your doormen, are you afraid that I will violently kill people?"

Liu An was about to speak, but Liu Chang slapped him hard on the head, cursing: "Now you know your fault, don't you? Why is the Taiwei angry? Is it angry at your servants for beating others? No, the Taiwei is Angry at you for refusing to come to explain to him afterwards, and even avoiding him on purpose! Thanks to the fact that you have read so many books on weekdays, how come your mind is not enough when it comes to the critical moment? The books you read on weekdays Where did it go? Did it go to Xia Guo?!"

Liu An was so scolded that he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly said, "Father, that's not the case. After I found out about this, I wanted to come and apologize to the Taiwei, but the Taiwei didn't let me in."

Liu Chang scolded: "If you are not allowed to go in, why don't you go in? You can't climb over the wall? Can't you break the gate? How strong is this door? I can break it six times in seven days!"

Han Xin's face darkened even more.

Liu Chang smiled and sat beside Han Xin, "Master, my brother is a little wronged, but the people he befriends are really not good people. What kind of friends are you talking about with those rotten scholars? You can eat wine with peace of mind." Wine, you have to say that the Yan people are shameless, and the jokes about wives and concubines are not distinguished. Isn't this a joke? Today, the world is united, and it is advocating that there is no distinction between each other, and the county and the country are all one. If you have to say such a thing, The beating is light, don't you think?"

Han Xin said calmly: "I never got angry and I just took the blame."

Liu Chang clapped his hands, "Master, you still understand righteousness, but, this matter can't just be left alone. This Shuzi has too many followers, and he can cause too much trouble. Zhang Shizhi had caught two people before, and both of them It was his retainer who used the name of the prince to invade the cultivated land and was caught by Zhang Shizhi. Such a thing would be a huge blow to his reputation."

"The master's family and the disciples are like this, we share weal and woe."

Han Xin, who upholds the old point of view, can understand Liu An's behavior very well.

"Yeah, I was thinking, how about letting the disciples of this Shuzi do some practical work, and stop them from being idle in Chang'an. Let this Shuzi keep those who are capable of learning, and stay by his side for learning. Those who know how to fight will be sent to places where there are wars, and those who can govern will be sent to places where officials are lacking."

Liu Chang shifted the topic to the placement of the retainer. Sure enough, Han Xin stopped talking about punishing the retainer.

Liu An sighed silently in his heart. In the past, he had thought of sending all the retainers to other places as officials, but, after all, he was still the crown prince, so such behavior had to go through the temple first. Coming out, it can be regarded as solving one of his major problems.

When several people were discussing, a servant brought meat.

Liu Chang was not polite, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed several pieces of meat, then looked at the two people in front of him vaguely, and asked suspiciously: "However, why is Marquis Jiang here? "

Zhou Bo frowned, and was about to explain, but Han Xin said first, "I called him here and asked him about some things."

Liu Chang asked curiously, "What are you asking?"

"Ask him if his poisoned sheep can be eaten!"

Liu Chang muttered, and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing Liu An with his head down holding back his smile, Liu Chang was furious, "Zhuzi! What are you doing here? Lead your disciples to apologize to others! Then arrange all the disciples under your command to go out for me! If there is another disturbance by the doormen, I will break your legs first!"

Liu An left, and Zhou Bo also left with him.

There are only two masters and apprentices left in the mansion. At this time, Han Xin said: "Zhou Bo is not very willing to stay in Chang'an to teach. He still wants to go out to fight."

"But this guy seems to have lost his mind and went crazy. He felt that he had to assist you under the order of Emperor Gao, and hid all his thoughts in his heart."

"Oh, if he really came to help me, he wouldn't come to you to complain."

"He didn't come to me to complain. Li Zuoche told me earlier that this fellow is becoming more and more active in military science. I felt that something was wrong with his hard-working professor, so I called him to ask. He still didn't say it clearly, but I can You can see his mind. A person like him can't stay idle."

Liu Chang was silent for a while, "As the No.1 general of the big man, I can actually understand him. Many times, I actually long for the battlefield. Staying here in Chang'an makes me very constrained. , once told me that whether it is to study or become an official, it is not what he wants, it is because of others. I can understand him very well, because I am also, if possible, I still hope to be a prince in the Tang Dynasty , Destroy all enemies outside the Great Wall, and fight to the death."

Han Xin just twitched his lips and ignored it.

Liu Chang said: "Speaking of Zhou Bo's matter, I found that most of the generals are like this. They are unwilling to stay at home. I don't know if they are used to the military camp or because they are eager for fame. Anyway, none of them can live freely. Yes. Yes, Master, I suddenly discovered that you are an exception, all the generals call for battle, but you don’t care at all, and you never say anything about the desire for the battlefield, why is that?"

Han Xin yawned, "Why should I long for the battlefield?"

"Make meritorious deeds??"

"I'm not unwilling. If there are enemies, I'll go and clean them up. For the rest of the day, I'll stay at home. What's there to do with the military camp? Only you guys with no talent will think about it all day long. How comfortable."

"This man, when it's time to fight, he has to fight wholeheartedly. When not fighting, he just does something that makes him happy. How can he die in the barracks?"

Listening to Han Xin's words, Liu Chang just shook his head.

"No wonder you can be called a fairy. Sure enough, there is no wrong nickname."

"Of course there's nothing wrong with the nickname, right? Wild pig?"

Chief Liu was furious, "Who gave me this nickname?!"

"It's your mother."

"Who passed it on?!"

"It's your daughter."

Liu Chang struggled for a moment, sighed, and gave up the rebuttal.

"Your Highness."

Wang Hui's eyes were red, and he knelt in front of Liu An, aiming his sword at his neck, but Liu An's hand held his hand tightly, preventing him from moving.

"Your Highness, I know that I have caused you such a big trouble. I will never let you be humiliated. I am willing to repay you with death!"

Wang Hui had only recently become Liu An's disciple. This petty official from the Yan Kingdom came into Liu An's sight because of his outstanding political achievements. Living in the country of Yan, he is a rare talent who knows many tribal languages, so he was accepted as a disciple, and he was prepared to study military science further, so that he could serve as an external minister in the future and become a good hand for himself.

This one was also unlucky, first he missed the first assessment of military science because of the distance, and then encountered such a thing when he was eating with other diners.

Some people got drunk and began to make jokes about other countries loudly. Suddenly they talked about the country of Yan. Naturally, they wanted to talk about the people of Yan who like to entertain guests with their wives. There is no distinction between wives and concubines. A colorful joke, the children of Yan people will become more and more like their best friends in the end, what Yan people have been away for three years, and they have three sons, what are they saying that Yan people do not worry about having no future, others just listen to it He laughed loudly, and Wang Hui couldn't bear it when he heard this, and immediately became friends with those people.

These are some Tai students, and they have some martial arts skills, but facing Wang Hui, who grew up in the frontier fortress and got along with the children of the Hu family, they were obviously no opponents, and they were severely beaten by Wang Hui.

After the beating, I found out that the children of the Taiwei's family were also among them, and they didn't participate in the speech. They were beaten by this guy just because they listened to a few words.

Knowing that Liu An was now going to plead guilty for his own affairs, Wang Hui was ashamed and wished only to die.

Menke Lei was standing aside. This man was not tall, but his arms were extremely long. He was originally a knight-errant, but after he changed his ways, he began to learn knowledge and became one of the eight most knowledgeable people under Liu An's command. , this person's swordsmanship is even more unique, and he is known as the best swordsmanship under the prince's family.

His swordsmanship was certified by the emperor himself.

Because Liu An likes him very much, he always let him stand by his side, showing off this sword master everywhere, and then someone challenged him and lost to this number one swordsman. , the emperor called him into the palace and asked to fight with him. The swordsman survived thirteen rounds in the hands of the emperor before being knocked off his sword due to exhaustion. Liu Dachang was overjoyed and recognized his strength. I think his strength is in the whole world, and his swordsmanship is among the best.

In history, Liu An's son, Liu Qian, was proficient in swordsmanship. Like his elder father, he also had a lawless personality. He felt that his swordsmanship was the best in the world, and because Lei Bei had the reputation of being the number one swordsman, he was very unconvinced. After a contest with him, he was defeated after a fight. Liu Qian was furious, and went directly to Liu An to speak ill of Lei Bei, saying that he was planning to rebel. As a result, he was so embarrassed that he was forced to leave.

Probably because of his background as a ranger, this Lei Bei was the most competitive one under Liu An's command. Hearing Wang Hui's words at this moment, he couldn't help but say, "How can this be your fault? If I was People are so humiliated, I must kill them! Why commit suicide?"

Liu Anchang sighed, and said, "Don't say such things again, please get up."

"Since you are my servant, I will not let you suffer such humiliation, even if you are the son of the Taiwei, I will definitely share the honor and disgrace with you, you don't have to. Don't do it again. Please tell me, I will kill it for you!!"

Liu An's eyes gradually became serious, "Not everyone can bully my disciples! In today's Datong, my disciples come from all corners of the country, from all states and counties. Those who dare to slander by region, I will never forgive you, please rest assured, I have written to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, and let them punish that fellow for his crimes!"

He looked at the people around him and said loudly: "Everyone persuades me to accept fewer diners, saying that diners will cause trouble for me, but I feel that it is the greatest blessing in my life to be helped by such talents. I want you to go to various places and make a great cause, let those people see! What kind of people are my disciples in Liu An!! I have no mediocrity under my command!!!"

"Willing to die for Your Highness!!!"

Many doormen roared, their eyes warm.

"Those who want to govern the world must not lack talented people around them. Those who want to achieve fame must find a king who can assist them. Although I am not talented, I am willing to prove that I am a king worthy of your assistance. I will never forget to reward him. Those who can defeat foreign enemies for me, I will make him a marquis, and those who can govern the world for me, I will definitely make him a prime minister, who can spare no effort for me. Those who do things, I will not let him be wronged and humiliated, let him enjoy the aspirations of the world, and be admired by future generations!"

"I can be a wise king, and you all are willing to prove yourself as a virtuous person?!"

"Stick what you want!!!"

"Okay! Call everyone, I have something important to entrust to you!!"

"only!!"

Inside the Prince's Mansion, there was a lot of voices.

Liu An was about to leave, but there was a small man standing in front of him. The small man was not even close to Liu An's chest, but his gaze was extraordinarily firm.

"Your Highness!!"

Liu An looked at the little guy, "Wen Jun? What do you want to do?"

Wei Wenjun looked very excited at the moment, and he said respectfully: "Your Highness, I heard that if you receive a kindness from others, you should repay it with death! When you saw my mother being humiliated, you rescued her and helped punish her. For those villains, you have spared no effort in teaching me these years, giving me the opportunity to study with many talented people in the mansion. I know in my heart that I will never be able to repay His Highness’s great kindness in my life. , I don’t dare to expect to be your doorman, I only wish to drive a chariot and lead a horse for you, to repay your great kindness!!! Please allow me to follow you!!!”

Wei Wenjun saluted again.

All the disciples around laughed. Wei Wenjun had been growing up in the mansion. Almost all of these disciples watched him grow up, and they were familiar with each other. Hearing his words at this moment, someone shouted: " You idiot still want to lead a horse for His Highness? Can you reach it?!"

"Hahaha, you are taller than the wheel!"

Hearing everyone's teasing, Wei Wenjun blushed, and hurriedly said: "I heard that a person with ambition can't judge his age. The morality of repaying gratitude is the same for everyone. Is it because I am young? Is the morality in my heart not as good as yours? Could it be that because of my short stature, I can't help the king wholeheartedly?!"

When Liu An heard his words, he was also amazed.

He also didn't expect that this scorpion would still improve so much. These days, he has been studying with those disciples in the mansion. He learns from whoever he sees. There are also a lot of studies every day. It's really true. He learned something, Liu An didn't like him at first, he felt that he had unreasonable thoughts about his little sister, and wanted to use his sister to get rid of his current identity, but looking at it now, This is not like that kind of person.

He rubbed Wei Wenjun's head, "From now on, you will drive for me!!"

"only!!!"
