Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 148
Zhang Cang became a common enemy of ministers in a short period of time, and within Chang'an, he could be regarded as notorious and notorious.This kind of change was so fast that Liu Chang didn't even react, Zhang Cang's reputation has become extremely poor, and even a few of the sages in Chang'an have heard of his notoriety.

"I heard that Zhang Xiang seized the people's daughter."

Zhou Shengzhi excitedly said to the left and right: "My grandfather and grandma said so, but they kicked me out after listening to half of it. I didn't hear anything else."

"I heard that Zhang Xiang ordered his servants to fight as a play."

Fan Yan said: "This is what my father said. I heard that someone in the court impeached Zhang Xiang, and there was this charge, but my father didn't believe it very much."

"I heard that Zhang Xiang eats children!"

Xiao Yan said earnestly: "When I came back last night, my father said that Zhang Xiang likes to cook and eat children who do not return home at night."

Liu Chang glanced at Xiao Yan, and he finally knew the power of public opinion. Everyone speaks loudly. As Xunzi's personal handed down, Zhang Cang's fame can be easily smeared like this by these people.

The little guys around him couldn't help laughing when they heard Xiao Yan's words.

"How is this possible?" Chen Mai chuckled and shook his head, looking at Xia Houzao, who nodded and seemed to smirk: "Yes, Xiao Yan, this idiot, Zhang Xiang is clearly in Tang, he It must be to catch Tang Guo's children to eat, what do you think he is afraid of!"

The smile on Chen Mai's face suddenly solidified. He looked at the pair of Guan Zhongleyi beside him, and really didn't know what to say.Because he has read too many books, he always feels that he is out of tune with this group of sages.

Liu Chang said seriously: "Brothers, this is a very important matter."

"Someone insults my teacher, how can I just look at it like that?"

Liu Chang raised the banner. In fact, what he really worried about was not the reputation of his master. His teacher had no reputation at all. What he was worried about was Tang Guo.Now Zhang Cang is gathering talents from all over the Tang country to set up a school, hoping to cultivate enough talents for the Tang country.

At this time, if Zhang Cang's reputation was ruined, it would inevitably affect the development of Tang.

He wasn't worried that the ministers would dismiss Zhang Cang. If they really insisted on doing this, then don't blame Chang Liu for "lifting the table" or sticking arrows in the throat, and directly raise the fight to a new level, let's see if they dare Keep fighting.

Seeing Liu Chang's seriousness, Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty can ask the plan and the sages!"

Liu Chang looked at everyone, "What tricks do you have?"

"Your Majesty, we can muddy the waters of Chang'an so that the ministers can no longer pay attention to Tang!"

"Oh? How to get muddy?"

"We can attack Jiancheng Hou's mansion." Zhou Shengzhi said seriously.

Lu Lu was furious and scolded: "My grandfather provoked you to provoke you? Why didn't you attack the Jianghou Mansion?"

Zhou Shengzhi said with disdain on his face, "Okay, if you have that ability, you can come and attack the Jianghou Mansion and the Taiwei's mansion at any time. On weekdays, there are soldiers from the Northern Army stationed there. As long as you can beat it."

Liu Chang couldn't stand it any longer, "Shengzhi, last time I asked you how to keep Liuhou, and you said to attack Jiancheng Hou's mansion. Before that, I asked how to take Xiao Xiang as a teacher, and you also said to attack Jiancheng Hou's mansion. You Understand that attacking Jiancheng Hou's mansion will not solve all problems."

Xiahouzao patted his chest, "Your Majesty, don't worry! If you really can't, then go and attack the Marquis of Ruyin! My grandfather is not at home!"

Liu Chang looked at Chen Mai helplessly, ignoring these great sages.

Chen Mai pondered for a moment, and asked, "Your Majesty. Who do you think quarrels the most in Chang'an?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, "Of course those are the Confucian people? What do you mean?"

"Heh, Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang is a direct descendant of Xunzi, why don't your Majesty go to Shusun Tong? Turn the attack on Zhang Xiang alone into a conspiracy against the entire Confucianism and let the Confucianism fight for you. I don't dare to say anything else, but if it is a debate and scolding War, the mouth of Confucianism"

"Hahaha! Good! Good! You Chen Mai, you are as yin and smart as your grandfather! I will definitely tie you to Tang Kingdom in the future!"

Liu Chang happily patted Chen Mai on the shoulder, Chen Mai shook his head and said, "There is no need to be bound by the king. If I am a few years older, I will go to Tang country as an official."

"What official, in the future, I will make you Marquis Qu Ni and make you the Prime Minister of Great Tang! I will give you the fief of your grandfather!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what about me?"

Fan Yan asked hurriedly.

"You will be the general of the Tang Kingdom."

"And me?"

"Captain."

"You're a servant, you're a guard, hey, don't ask any more questions, San Gong Jiu Qing, there are many official positions, enough for you!"

Among the sages around Liu Chang, Zhou Shengzhi and the Lu family brothers could not get along, and they would fight as soon as they met. The Fan family brothers were Tie Hanhan, who dared to fight and never retreated. Lu Tai and Lu Shizhi were also their cousins. Brother and uncle, but they were the most ruthless at the beginning. Zhou Yafu was a ruthless man. He was the one who set fire to Jiancheng Hou's mansion.Zhou Jian and Guan A are the youngest, and they often hang out together.

Xiao Yan and Xia Houzao are a natural pair of Guan Zhongleyi, needless to say.

Lu Tazhi is taciturn, but he is proficient in riding and archery, and his strength is second only to Liu Chang. Chen Mai is good at reading and has a strategy. He is the only reliable one among the sages. These two people are Liu Chang's subordinates in both literature and martial arts. They are truly capable. helpful.

Although Liu Chang played with these people on weekdays, he still had to rely on his three great benefactors to really do things.Luan Bu is serious in his work, but he is a little too upright, and Gong Gong is calm and calm, but he is a little too prudent. Zhang Budo does things resolutely and has the talent of the county governor. The main thing is that he can only manage one county.

When Liu Chang led Qunxian and Sheren and brought a few chickens to visit Shusuntong, Shusuntong was also a little confused.

"I originally wanted to bring a few sheep to visit Father Zhong. However, all the sheep have been eaten... I can only bring a few chickens. Father Zhong please don't dislike it."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Shusuntong hurriedly asked the disciple to take the gift, and arranged for these people to sit down.

The two sides sat down on the left and right, and a group of disciples sat behind Uncle Suntong. These were all Confucian scholars who followed him to learn rituals. The Confucian scholars had a very bad impression of Liu Chang, and they all looked at him proudly, not knowing what they were What did you learn.

This attitude of the scholars directly angered Zhang Budo who was behind Liu Chang. His hand was already on the scabbard. Luan Bu held his hand tightly and prevented him from doing it. Zhang Budo stared at him. His eyes widened, and he glared at the Confucian scholars.

Just as the atmosphere gradually became stiff, Liu Chang suddenly lowered his head and wiped away tears.

The sages around him also bowed their heads and cried.

Shusun Tong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my family is poor, and the salary and rewards I get are all used to help those disciples who are eager to learn but have a poor family. All I have is this mansion, and there are two pigs in the backyard. If Tang Guo needs it, you can take the pig away."

Shusuntong did not tell lies. The two great schools of thought during the Warring States Period, Mohism and Confucianism, were not getting along well at the moment. Mohism was almost perished, and Confucianism was on the verge of extinction several times. Shusuntong was the mainstay of Confucianism. A man, he was dragging the Confucianism towards the decline, striving to give Confucianism a place in the temple, so that Confucianism would not be completely abandoned by the rulers.

Therefore, he spent his family property to support Confucian students and recruit disciples.

Liu Chang shook his head and said, "The widow didn't cry for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The widow just thought that there would be no chance to support the queen mother in the future, so she could only cry for the unfilial!"

"What does that mean, my lord?"

"Someone insults my teacher and insults my Confucianism. As Xunzi, I will teach again. Even if I am stubborn, I know righteousness. If the teacher's school is insulted, but I am indifferent, then how can I live? I am going to lead people to kill. All the ministers who insulted my master, then committed suicide to apologize."

Shusuntong suddenly realized, oh, he wanted to fool me to save your master.

He immediately put on his eager face, "Your Majesty is impossible! As the king of a country, how can you do such a thing?"

However, Liu Chang interrupted him, stood up, and said angrily, "Now that Mr. Huang is in power, all schools of thought look down on me, Confucianism. My master in Tang is based on benevolence and uses Confucianism to govern the country. Those ministers from other schools just look down on my Confucianism, see the effectiveness of my Confucianism in governing the country, and feel jealous in their hearts, for fear that their position will be taken away, so they slander my teacher! I really can’t stand it!”
