Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 187 You are a tyrant like King Qin!
"Mother~~~"

When Liu Chang jumped into the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Lu was still looking at the endless playing table in front of him.

Empress Lv has issued too many policies. In just three months, more decrees have been issued than Liu Ying has issued in the past two years. Although these policies are implemented by the ministers, the specific direction is still under the control of Lv Ying. In the hands of Empress Lv, Empress Lv governs politics in a completely different way from Liu Ying's.

Liu Ying is to gradually reduce the barriers on the people's body, let them let go of their hands and feet, develop agriculture and economy, and not interfere much in the affairs of agriculture and business, reduce their burden, and restore national strength as soon as possible.Empress Lu, on the other hand, intervened strongly in everything, speeding up the recovery through her own policies.

To give the simplest example, in Liu Ying’s period, officials were not allowed to delay farming and mulberry matters, so that the people could farm with peace of mind. In the period of Empress Lv, she ordered the counties and counties to elect outstanding farmers, encouraged them, and wrote a book to commend them. Think about it. What an encouragement that an ordinary farmer can be honored by the temple for his ploughing.

At the same time, she also ordered that peasants who used to escape from mountains, lakes, and migratory countries should be allowed to return to their hometowns and return their fields. Officials should not beat, scold or discriminate against them because of their past illegal behavior. The people walked out of the mountains and forests again and came under the rule of the great Han.

She ordered the ministers to lead by example and release their subordinates. Officials in various places strictly limited the number of subordinates and let them all return to their hometowns to work in agriculture. Officials must strictly prevent large local households from accepting their subordinates.

They also cut a large number of soldiers and sent them back to their hometowns. They were given priority to land and settled properly, so that more localities could use them as officials.

He also ordered the vassal states to follow the example of the government of the temple and not to make their own orders!

If the rule of Wenjing in history laid the foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then the period when Empress Lu was in power laid the foundation for the rule of Wenjing.

Because of this, her workload is not at the same level as Liu Ying's. She wakes up early and sleeps in the dark, and she has to go out from time to time to check it out in person. It's hard.

Aware of Chang Liu's arrival, Empress Lu put down the bamboo slips in her hands, moved her neck, and made a clicking sound.

Liu Chang smiled and stood behind Empress Lu, gently pinching her shoulders.

Empress Lu was silent for a moment before asking, "How much?"

"for free!"

"Who was hit?"

"No hit!"

"Oh."

Empress Lu picked up the bamboo slips in his hand again, Liu Chang grinned and asked in a low voice, "Mum, all the county governors in Tang are outstanding people, but most of the wise men in the temple are domineering and rude. , I will go to Tang country in the future, how can I manage them?"

"You want a declaration? He can't give it to you"

"What the mother said, Tang country is not short of stubborn donkeys, I heard that Wang Ling is upright"

"Then I can't help you. If you can persuade him, take him away. He won't obey my edict."

"Hahaha, as long as there are those words from my mother!"

Liu grew up happy, and pinched his shoulders even more vigorously.

While pinching his shoulders, a valet came in and said, "The Queen Mother, Duke Jiancheng is here to meet you!"

"Let him in."

Lu Shizhi walked in angrily, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Queen Mother, this declaration cannot be left alone!!"

As he was speaking, he suddenly saw Liu Chang standing behind Empress Lu. He put away his anger and said with a smile, "Chang is here too."

Empress Lu didn't even look at him, and asked coldly, "What did Xuanyi do to make you so angry."

"Not long ago, you canonized several of my Lu family as marquis. Today, they were arrested by Xuanyi. I sent someone to declare the order, and he even captured the people I sent! I heard that Lu The anger has already been killed by him, and the rest of the people were also beaten to pieces by him. They are in Tingwei's prison!"

"Oh? Who did you hear that Lu Ci was executed?"

"It's the words of Tingwei's chief supervisor, Wang Tianqi!"

Lu Shizhi said angrily, "Why don't you let Wang Tianqi come to take up the position of Tingwei? He is also an upright person, and he is close to us."

Empress Lu suddenly raised her head and stared at Lu Shizhi. Lu Shizhi seemed to be strangled by his neck, and he stopped talking. Empress Lu stared at him, "If I remember correctly, Marquis Jiancheng is only a lieutenant, and Lieutenant He When did you start selecting the person in charge of Tingwei?"

Lu Shizhi was shocked and hurriedly bowed, "Don't dare, it's just that Xuanyi."

"The lieutenant can do his own thing. What about the affairs of Tingwei? Tingwei will play with me again. Next time, you lieutenant should not do it again."

Lu Shizhi was so frightened that he hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then he left in anger.

Liu Chang looked at his uncle's back and shook his head helplessly. The older his uncle was, the more confused he became. Now, my mother doesn't allow these Lu clansmen to call her by their relatives, and they have to be called the queen mother. The expression is very obvious, why can't my uncle see through it?
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"what's up?"

"It seems to be related, why arrest them?"

"These people are too arrogant, and they ruin the reputation of my mother everywhere. I am also a filial piety."

Empress Lu ignored this bastard and looked at the valet beside him and asked him to call Wang Tianqi over.This Wang Tianqi, who is not very old, used to fight with Lu Ze, the Marquis of Zhou Lu, and has always had a good relationship with the Lu family. Previously, he was named Prime Minister of Liang for his contribution to the crusade against Chen Xi, and he assisted Liu Chang's fifth brother Liu Hui.

After Empress Lv came to power, she brought this cronie back to the temple from Liang State, and arranged him by Xuanyi's side to jointly take charge of the affairs of the Tingwei.

Soon, Wang Tianqi appeared in the Jiaofang Hall. This man was tall, with a dull face, and he didn't look very smart. He respectfully greeted the Queen Mother and King Tang.

Liu Chang looked at him and asked with a smile, "Can you still throw your clothes now?"

Wang Tianqi's face darkened, and Empress Lu said displeasedly, "Don't be rude to General Wang!"

There is a reason for Liu Chang to ask this question. It is said that although this general is brave in battle and staunch, he has one shortcoming. He is afraid of his wife.When Emperor Gao was visiting various places, he was a guest at his house. In the middle of the night, he was very surprised when he heard the sound of heavy objects being thrown to the ground.

The next day, Emperor Gao called Wang Tianqi and asked, "I heard a strange noise last night, why?"

Wang Tianqi blushed and hurriedly said, "The wife throws the clothes of the minister!"

Liu Bang was confused, shook his head and said, "How can there be such a sound when throwing clothes?"

Wang Tianqi replied helplessly: "The minister is in his clothes."

Emperor Gao laughed when he heard the words.

From then on, the general had an elegant title, called General Chu Yi, and later became the prime minister. The Liang people called him Chu Yi Xiang. Now, it is very likely that he will replace Donkey Tingwei and become Chu Yi Tingwei.

Empress Lu said helplessly: "My son is stubborn, I hope the general will not blame him."

Wang Tianqi shook his head and said seriously: "I dare not, when Emperor Gao was alive, I often asked this question"

Empress Lv asked him to sit in front of her and asked Tingwei about many things. Wang Tianqi answered them one by one. When Empress Lv asked about the Lu family, General Wang said seriously: "Tingwei killed Lu Fu, and the rest people are imprisoned."

"Why don't you fight and kill?"

Empress Lu's expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"Lu An killed people and took money. A merchant disappeared before, and Ting Wei found out that he was involved in this matter."

"Good kill!"

Empress Lu suddenly said, she stood up, looked at Wang Tianqi, and said, "Emperor Xuan has other uses. In the future, you may be responsible for this court officer. Please continue to act like Duke Xuan. No mercy, but kill him without telling me!"

"only!!"

Wang Tianqi hurriedly saluted, and Empress Lu gave him something to let him leave.

After he left, Liu Chang said angrily: "I knew he was a thief, I should have cut off his hands and feet! These gangsters, every good thing!"

Hearing Liu Chang's words, Empress Lu snorted coldly, and said, "It's just fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, and you still have the face to say that they are playboys? Isn't that the same for you on weekdays?"

Liu Chang was angry and shouted: "This is different. I never bully others. We all take our own things and distribute them to the people. When I eat sheep, I only eat from my uncle's house!"

"Yes, yes, you are the number one kind person in Chang'an, Chang'an's dog has to run away when it sees you!"

Liu Chang lowered his head and muttered something, but did not refute.

"Lord. Lu Shi and the others, the ministers can't move. If you encounter this again, you can clean it up yourself, and it will be no problem to kill!"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "Can you kill everyone?? Can my uncle be too??"

Seeing that his mother's face was getting worse and worse, Liu Chang still slipped out of the Jiaofang Hall in time.

"Brothers!!!"

Liu Chang excitedly looked at the good brother in front of him and held his hand tightly.

The good brother laughed and said with a smile: "Long time no see, the king has grown a lot stronger! This is almost as tall as me!"

Liu Chang took him into the mansion, and the good brother hurriedly said, "I brought a lot of horses to the king again this time."

"Hey! You and I rarely see each other, what are you talking about horses! Come and drink with me!"

Liu Chang set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain this Yuezhi guest from afar. His good brother's complexion looked much better. He smiled and said, "Since the king sent us those armor and weapons, we have won a few wins. Field, hahaha, Mao Dun is furious, but he doesn't dare to attack with all his strength, for fear that the Tang Dynasty will take the opportunity to attack!"

Liu Chang happily listened to him talking about the things on the grassland, and said, "Good brother, it's good that Yuezhi is fine, and your elegant words are getting more and more standard!"

"After staying in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, I can talk about it."

The two chatted cordially and ate the food in front of them.

Liu Chang asked curiously: "Good brother, what kind of official are you in the Yuezhi?"

The good brother was stunned for a moment, and then said somewhat ashamedly: "Your Majesty, I came from a low family background and was a horse herder in my family. In Yuezhi, I also traded horses for others, but now because of the king, Yuezhi often sends me to communicate with Tang, but it is not enough. No titles were awarded, Your Majesty. I."

"What's your background? My grandfather was just a pavilion at the beginning! Heroes don't ask about background!! We have such a sentence here, princes and generals, would you rather have a seed?"

Zhang Budo nodded his head, there was indeed such a thing.

The two started to chat, and they had a big meal, and Liu Chang followed his good brother to see the horse.

The white horse sent by the good brother was very excited to see these horses, and kept neighing. The good brother stepped forward and stroked a few times, and the white horse calmed down. Liu Chang was stunned, "Good brother, this horse is fierce, I spend a lot of energy to make it calm on weekdays, how did you do it?"

The good brother laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, my family has been grazing horses for generations, and I have been with horses since I was a child. You see, this horse's nose flaps, shallow breathing, strong exhalation, this is Ma Anxiety, but from the left Side stroke this position."

"I brought a few horses this time. Horses are gregarious. Light horses are stronger than heavy horses. After training, the rest of the horses will follow. Horses cannot be beaten for no reason, especially war horses. Horses are actually very smart. . Stallions love to fight."

The good buddy talks endlessly, from the habits of the horses, to the forage, and even has a certain veterinary knowledge.

Liu Chang listened stunned, "The people of the Yuezhi are all so good at herding horses?"

The good brother smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's not that my grandfather was in charge of herding horses for the last Yuezhi King."

"Good guy! That's also the servant of the Yue clan. You still say that your family background is not good?!"

The good brother's face darkened and he said, "Father is the king's shepherd, but he was executed because the king's horse was a few steps behind in the competition with others."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother, come to Tang State and be a servant!"

"what???"

The good brother widened his eyes, "I am Yuezhi."

"No problem! If nothing else, as far as your understanding of horses is concerned, it is even more powerful than Xiahouying. People like you should not be too servants, who should be?! Tang's horses are entrusted to you to raise!! "

Standing behind him, Zhaoping, who had not spoken for a long time, carefully pulled Liu Chang, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for the great Han to use barbarians as ministers."

Liu Chang looked at him proudly, "Isn't that what?!"

Of course, Zhaoping would not know that in the near future, there will be a Xiongnu prince who will come to the Han. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a descendant named Jin Xuan who made two thousand stones.The Xiongnu minister was called Jin Riju.

But no matter what Liu Chang said, this good brother just refused. According to his words, he couldn't even recognize Chinese characters, so how could he be a servant?

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, he wrote him a letter, asking him to go to Tang country to find a man named Gai Gong, and study with him, and once he learns it, he will go to Tang country to breed horses!
After sending away the grateful good brother, Liu Chang sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad, we will meet again sooner or later."

"The widow is not sad. It's just that I don't know how to ask his name. Everyone is about to become a servant of Tang, and the widow still doesn't know his name!"

When Liu Chang was about to ride his horse to indulge outside the city, someone from the palace was sent to ask him to go back immediately.

Liu Chang had no choice but to obediently return to the palace.

"The widow is busy with state affairs, what's the matter, I have to be the widow"

Liu Chang complained, walked into the Jiaofang Hall, and saw Princess Lu Yuan who was sitting next to Empress Lu with a smile, Liu Chang was overjoyed, and hurried up, "Eldest sister!!!"

Princess Lu Yuan touched his head with a smile, and Liu Chang looked around, "Huh? Where's my elder sister-in-law? Where are Yan and Yan?"

Liu Le was taken aback for a moment, and then he said, "Your sister-in-law and Yan didn't come together."

"Hey, I had a good time with Yan, why didn't you bring him?"

Well, I didn't bring it because I played too well with you.

Liu Le thought in his heart, but said, "I came here this time because of a happy event."

"Ah? What's the happy event? Come, sit."

Liu Chang pulled his sister to sit down, and glanced at Empress Lv next to him. Liu Le said with a smile, "Your daughter is going to get married. I specially brought my son-in-law to meet my mother."

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is that the one named Jia Yi?"

"The eldest brother still remembers, it's him."

Liu Chang remembered that Liu Le once said that this person was Zhang Cang's most outstanding disciple, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he asked proudly, "What about others?"

"It's outside. I'm about to be called in."

Liu Le said, and looked at Empress Lv's face again. You must know that Empress Lv always wanted to marry Zhang Yan to King Yan, or to marry the heir of the Prince of Chu, but Zhang Ao and Liu Le made their own decisions and Empress Lu was definitely not very happy that her daughter was betrothed to a little-known boy.

Noticing Liu Le's eyes, Empress Lu raised her head and said solemnly, "Let him come in."

Liu Le was overjoyed, so he hurriedly got up and sent someone to call the young man.

When Jia Yi walked into the Jiaofang Palace, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This man is very young, probably about the same age as Zhou Shengzhi, but he has a very good temperament, and he almost had the words "young" written on his face. This temperament, ten Zhou Shengzhi tied together is not as good as him.He walked in front of the queen mother, and respectfully met the queen mother.

Empress Lu looked at him seriously, and seeing that he was handsome and personable, she couldn't help nodding her head, but she still recognized this grandson-in-law.

"Get up."

Only then did Jia Yi get up and wait for Empress Lv's order.

Liu Chang was also looking at him, only to see that his appearance was not amazing, his eyes were dull, and he didn't look like a good person.

"Why don't you show respect when you see Father Zhong?!"

Liu Chang asked in dissatisfaction.

Jia Yi glanced at King Tang and said calmly, "Meet Father Zhong."

Liu Chang didn't feel the slightest respect from him, which made him even more angry. Just as he was about to curse, Empress Lu asked first, "What book have you read?"

Jia Yi raised his head and talked one by one. Many of the books he mentioned were things that Liu Chang had never heard of, but Empress Lu was very happy, "You also like to read Han Feizi?"

Immediately, the two conducted research on the academic issues of Legalism, and then jumped to Huang Lao, and finally Confucianism. Empress Lu became more satisfied with listening, and exclaimed: "It's not easy for ordinary people to rule a school, you How can age govern the doctrine of the three families?"

"Returning to the Queen Mother, only because of Shixian."

Liu Chang grinned, what do you mean? ?

"Good! Good! Really my grandson-in-law!"

Empress Lu was very happy, and the previous displeasure was no longer on her face. Only Liu Chang had a dark face, looking at this brazen flatterer, his heart became more and more sour.

Empress Lv asked him to sit beside her and began to ask about family and country affairs. Jia Yi answered very comprehensively. He really explained to Liu Chang what a virtuous person is. Compared with Jia Yi, Chen Mai looks like a big fool, not to mention Guan Zhongleyi and the others.

When the queen mother and Liu Le left here and entered the inner room, only Liu Chang and Jia Yi were left in the hall.

Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said coldly: "I think you are very disrespectful to the widow!"

Jia Yi glanced at Liu Chang, got up and was about to leave.

Liu Chang was furious and hurried up, catching up with Jia Yi with a few strides, throwing him to the ground, riding on his neck, and asking loudly, "What kind of king do you think I am?"

"Your Majesty is a tyrant like the King of Qin and Chu!! Tang is a country of tigers and wolves!!"

ps: Jia Yi is really an all-rounder of Te Niang, Confucianism, Law and Huang Lao. He knows everything, but unfortunately he is not very good at being a man and is too straight. From the historical data, Zhou Bo Guanying and these people are not intolerant of the kindness of others. The jealous villain is probably offended by this person.People Guanying, they also have something to say, who are we, the founding ministers, you can humiliate us with anyone, can this work?This will not work!
