Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 192 The grown-up saint who wrote the book and established the school

The next day.

When Liu Chang woke up reluctantly, his head still hurt.

Liu Chang rubbed his eyes and looked around.

Why didn't you go back to the palace?
Looking at his clothes again, he sighed helplessly, these people are really unreliable, and they don't know how to change their clothes. Liu Chang always wipes his mouth with his sleeves. Therefore, Empress Lu never let him wear plain clothes. According to Empress Lv's words: You can't wear plain clothes for half an hour, and after half an hour, you will turn into black clothes.

Liu Chang himself likes to wear red clothes, like flames. When riding a horse, let alone how majestic he is.

The people in Yandi like plain clothes. Occasionally, merchants from the country of Yan come to Chang'an. Once the merchants in Chang'an can't sell them, they will ridicule their family for a funeral and come out to do business.

When Liu Chang walked out of the mansion, a few Shiren were seriously discussing something.

Liu Chang yawned, and several people hurriedly stood up to meet him. Liu Chang smiled and returned the salute, sat aside, and was about to eat.

"Your Majesty. Please wash up first."

"Washed!"

"Your Majesty!"

"There are so many things to do from day to night. In the palace, the mother will have you here." Liu Chang muttered, got up and went to wash up, washed clean, changed his clothes, and then sat next to everyone again, watching the king eat After the meal was over, Zhang Budo said, "Your Majesty, the Xiongnu pacified Ding Ling, and the Yuezhi sent six envoys to Tang State one after another to ask for help."

"Ah?? When did it happen?"

"Last night."

"Oh! Why didn't you tell me in time?"

Jia Yi said with a stern face and said displeased: "Your Majesty, you should not drink alcohol in the future. I originally thought that among all the children, only Your Majesty has the best wine. How do you know that Your Majesty's drinking was so unremarkable last night. The mansion has been shouting for a whole night, and the things that are so rash and the filthy words of the king cannot be repeated by the ministers!! The queen mother sent someone to visit, you continue to shout at the valet."

Liu Chang looked at a loss, eh?And such a thing?

"Forget it, forget it, don't drink it in the future, don't doubt it, tell me carefully, didn't you say that Ding Ling has tens of thousands of elite riders, and said he wanted to attack us? Why did you suddenly lose?"

"Your Majesty, it is such a Mortun who sent a dead man to envoy Ding Ling. It is said that he hid the dagger in his shoe and attacked and killed the leader Ding Ling at the banquet. The three sons of the leader did not want to avenge their father, but competed for the leader. After taking the position, Mao Dun then led the army to attack and pacified many tribes of Ding Ling in one fell swoop."

"No, the enemy sent envoys to come, why don't you check if you are carrying weapons??"

"This may be because the Huns are good at hiding objects, or it may be because the Dingling people are careless."

"Then Yuezhi is in danger. No one is involved. Mo Dun can leave some people to defend us, and the rest of the army will attack and kill the Yuezhi people. If we lose Yuezhi's involvement, Mao Dun will deal with us wholeheartedly. Think of a plan!"

"Go! I'm going to see the master!"

Liu Chang hurriedly got up and led the crowd out of the mansion.

When Liu Chang hurried into Han Xin's mansion, Luan Bu smiled and said to the left and right: "Although Your Majesty is conceited, he still knows how to ask talented sages when he encounters a major event, and he won't make a rash decision. The king's greatest strength!"

Zhang Budo nodded his head, "Your Majesty is King Xian! Emperor Gao once said that his strategy is not as good as my grandfather's, his battles are not as good as Huaiyin's Marquis, and his country is not as good as Xiao Xiang. He may have defeated Xiang Yu because he knew how to use these three people. Isn't that so?"

A few friends started talking, but Jia Yi just sneered.

"Why are the Jiashe people laughing?"

"No laughing, you are right, although the king loves to brag, acts recklessly, loves to show off, steals chickens, is capricious, arrogant, unreasonable, does not love cleanliness, bullies others, does not respect the old, and does not love the young, but he is still a King Xian."

"Cough, after all, the king is still young. When he is a few years older, it will not be like this."

"Oh"

In Han Xin's study, listening to Liu Chang, who had come to him early in the morning to inquire about what happened on the grassland, Han Xin was displeased.

Han Xin is not angry with Liu Chang, he just thinks that these people on the grassland are too unreliable. The leader of a large tribe is barely considered a prince in the Central Plains, and he can be so easily entrusted by the enemy. assassinated by the minister? ?As soon as he died like this, the Huns had freed up their hands, no longer attacking from three sides, but only extended two hands to deal with the two enemies in front of them with peace of mind.

"Long ah. Although the Tang country is improving now, it has not reached the point where it can fight the Huns outside the Great Wall. Modun began to persecute the Yuezhi, and probably also wanted to force us to fight. The power of the Tang country, a small-scale attack is possible, If a large army strikes, it will be in the middle of Mao Dun’s arms.”

"I know, but Yuezhi keeps providing us with war horses. If we don't do anything, we're afraid it will cause Yuezhi to be distracted, and the other tribes who are watching will not come back to form an alliance with us."

"Long, things in the world are not always the best of both worlds, especially the choice. No matter what you choose, you will definitely lose something. What you can do now is to leave a retreat for the Yuezhi people and let Tang Guo do it well. Prepare for the Yuezhi people. If necessary, you can send soldiers to meet them and escort them, but you must not go outside the Great Wall to fight."

"However, we can't let the Huns live too well, sir. Do you know where to send troops to attack the Huns?"

"Of course it's their so-called Dragon City! Take down the place where they sacrificed!!"

"No, we should seize the land of Henan first."

Han Xin shook his head and said seriously: "In the beginning, the Qin Yi general Meng Tian attacked the Xiongnu, took the land of Henan, and set up many camps and fortresses, which made the Xiongnu dare not go south to herd horses. After the chaos in the world, the rise of Modun, the Xiongnu recaptured Henan again. , they can loot the big man without fear, but they are not afraid of the big man's first target of counterattack Tang, which should be the land of Henan!!"

Henan, which Han Xin mentioned, is also the Hetao area. In history, the general who recaptured the Hetao area for the Great Han also made some meritorious deeds. That general was called Wei Qing.

Liu Chang listened attentively to Han Xin's description of the strategy that Tang should formulate next. If Han Xin's strategy was simplified, it would be one sentence, "Capture Henan and open up the Western Regions."

It's very simple to say, but it's really not that simple to do. To accomplish these two things, the first condition is to defeat the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Modun. Modun attaches great importance to Henan. He even often stationed himself here, eyeing Tang Guo, who was on the side. When he was on an expedition, he also left his son here and continued to be stationed.

When he came out of Han Xin's mansion, Liu Chang was as if he had been beaten with blood, and he was high in fighting spirit. He looked around excitedly and said, "If the widow wants to recover the land of Henan, who of you would be my vanguard? !"

"The minister is the first to be ordered!!"

Zhang Budo shouted, and he said excitedly: "Take Henan, then go south to capture Longxi, go west to attack the Western Regions, recover the small country there, and go straight to the east to take the long."

"Zhang Doubt!!"

Zhaoping shouted angrily.

Luan Bu was thoughtful, and he said, "Your Majesty, rashly deploying troops at this moment, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"Hahaha, many people know that the Tang country is developing rapidly, and wait. Henan, sooner or later, will be the county of our Tang country!"

"Let's go! Go back to the palace! The Yuezhi and the Huns are fighting, and I have to discuss it with my mother!"

Liu Chang quickly left.

At this time, the envoy of Nanyue was carefully inquiring with the officials who received him, "Who is the one who stands by the emperor's side, wears armor and swords, and sets up the flag in the wind?"

"It's King Tang!"

"Ah? King Tang is so old, why didn't he become a vassal?"

"King Tang was brought up by the Queen Mother herself.

"I see."

The envoy nodded and praised: "This Tang king is a real hero!"

"That's natural!"

Hearing that foreign envoys came to praise their princes and kings, the official was also very happy, he said with a smile: "There was a time when a Xiongnu thief humiliated my king, the king of Tang was furious, he launched an army to fight, and defeated Maodun. Everyone in the world knows that the Tang Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and the princes also respect and love the Tang King.”

The envoy listened carefully and suddenly asked, "Then what does this Tang king have to do with Hengshan County in Zhao Di?"

"King Tang and Zhao Di can have it," the official said halfway through, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know."

Seeing the official's face, the envoy looked around and took out the money from his sleeve, but the official refused to take it, just turned around and left, his face extremely frightened.The envoy was even more curious. Looking at the official's face, it seemed that it really had something to do with it.Could it be that this Tang king is related to his own king? ?

No matter how the minister asked, no one dared to answer. Hearing this question, these people were extremely frightened.

This confused the envoy, what happened?Zhao Guohengshan eats people, right?so scared?
During this period of time, Liu Changxian discussed this matter with Empress Lu, and Empress Lu also agreed that if King Yuezhi came, he would be crowned as King of Nanyue, and they would be in Tang State. Recuperating in the territory and fighting against the Xiongnu together, Liu Chang liked his grandmother very much, and his grandmother acted resolutely and never hesitated.

"Long. Your master may have to come back."

"which one?"

"Zhang Xiang."

"Why?"

"With so many things in Tang country, can he go away?"

"Isn't there still a royal mausoleum and Duke Gai? That's the case." Empress Lu raised her head and said seriously: "Although there are enough officials in various places, most of them have become officials with military merit, but they are not literate. Numbers, if Qin Shi was only responsible for fighting and farming, it would be fine, but now many policies, they can't do it."

"I'm going to ask someone to compile a set of "Book of Calculations", which will record the simple and basic arithmetic in detail. Let the officials from all over the country learn it. This requires gathering people who are proficient in arithmetic in the country. Your master is the most capable of them, so naturally you have to participate."

Liu Chang understood a little, that is, officials everywhere are reckless, so they need a set of mathematics textbooks. Liu Chang suddenly remembered something, and he patted his forehead heavily, "Hey! How can I be so stupid!!"

"Ok?"

Empress Lu looked at him, puzzled.

Liu Chang said proudly: "Mother, you can leave this matter to me!"

"here you are??"

There was obviously some hesitation in the Queen Mother's eyes, but she had heard Zhang Cang say that Liu Chang's talent in counting was very amazing, maybe even more than her own, but Queen Lu didn't quite believe it, after all, Zhang Cang was very close to him Liu Chang is also unreliable.Now that Wang Mausoleum has gone to Tang Kingdom, Tang Kingdom's temples have become more lively.

The presentation of the impeachment of Zhang Cang kept flying from Tang country like snowflakes, and the name of the impeacher was opened, "Gai Gong, Wang Ling, Gai Gong, Wang Ling, Gai Gong, Wang Ling, Wang Ling, Wang Ling" , Wang Ling, an old-fashioned loyal minister, met Zhang Cang, a traitor who did not follow the etiquette, it was a lively event.

Seeing that the Queen Mother hesitated, Liu Chang slapped his chest and said proudly: "Mum! Trust me! I will definitely be able to do it! When did I talk big?!"

Whenever others are about to believe Liu Chang, Liu Chang's remarks always make the shaken people stop trusting him completely.

After Liu Chang's subsequent sloppiness, Empress Lu was also annoyed by him, and scolded: "Then you can try it out and write a few for me!"

Liu Chang left the palace with a smile. If it wasn't for his grandmother to mention it, he would have almost forgotten it. It seems that he will think more about what he can do in the future and not be addicted and playful.

Returning to the Tang Palace, Liu Chang solemnly knelt on top of the crowd and looked at them solemnly.

"Luan Bu, I won't see anyone in the next few days."

"only!"

"Don't disturb me unless it's something important to Tang Guo."

"Yi, what if the king's friend came to visit?"

"Then say I'm busy with big things and let them wait for the widow."

Luan Bu hurriedly agreed, he wished that none of the king's friends would come, and it was best not to see them at all.

Zhang Budo asked with some doubts: "What are you planning to do, Your Majesty?"

Jia Yi glanced at Liu Chang, "I don't know what it is, but I can see that it is more important than something like stealing chickens."

Liu Chang proudly raised his head and said, "The widow has heard that the officials in various places are negligent in counting and cannot implement the policies of the temple very well. Therefore, the widow is preparing to write a book. Write a book on arithmetic, and educate the world!"

After saying this, Liu Chang hurriedly looked at Sheren, looking forward to their praise.

At the moment, the few Shiren stared at Liu Chang in stunned eyes.

"What did the king say to do??"

"Write a book! Educating the world!!"

"Um"

The few Shiren were silent again, and Liu Chang looked at them like this and became furious, "Don't you believe in the widow?!"

Zhang Budo hurriedly said, "I believe in the king!"

Liu Changxuan was overjoyed, so he asked Zhang Budo to sit beside him, Zhang Budo sat down, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm going to catch a few people who know math and let them write a book first, and wait until they're done. Afterwards, when people are sent to Tang State, the book bears the name of the great king.”

"Fart!! Does a widow need someone else to write a book for a widow?!"

Jia Yi slowly stepped forward and bowed to Liu Chang, "Your Majesty! Senior Brother! Zhongfu! Master is not mean to us. I don't care what you are doing on weekdays, but please don't do such a thing. , our master has always been proficient in counting, you can't insult his reputation!!"

"Good! Good!"

Liu Chang got up angrily, "You don't believe it, do you, the widowers will write it now, and when it's written, you'll know! You'll know!" Liu Chang turned and walked into the inner room, only a few Shiren looked at each other in dismay , Luan Bu sighed, looked aside, and asked, "No doubt? Where are you going??"

"I'm going to inquire about the numbers everyone in the city has."

In the days that followed, Sheren found that Tang Wang really stopped going out to play, and stayed in the inner room all day, watching him secretly, seeing him writing quickly, without even thinking about it, writing more and more The faster you go, the more you write.

Scholars were in shock, did the king really want to write a book?Does the king really have such ability? ?
Qunxian often came to visit, and when they heard that the king was still busy with important things, they stopped disturbing them. Without Liu Chang, they didn't even dare to make trouble.

As for Liu Chang, he is currently compiling a mathematics textbook for local officials belonging to the Western Han Dynasty. The content of Liu Chang's dreams is very limited, but he has a lot of knowledge about these aspects. However, during these years, Liu Chang only cares about When he went to play, many things were left behind by him. After Chu Mo and others helped him, he became a lazy person who lost the design drawings and sent them to Tang when they were done.

It took Liu Chang a dozen days, which surprised everyone. Chang Liu had never been able to stay quiet for such a long time, including Empress Lu. He also sent people to inquire about the situation several times. The number one lackey didn't let the attendant bother King Tang, saying that he was ordered by the king, and he almost beat the attendant out, and the attendant went back and cried directly to the queen mother.

Empress Lu admired his style of acting in accordance with the king's orders, whipping dozens of them and driving them away.

"Ah~~~"

Liu Chang walked out of the inner room and stretched his body.

Shiren stood in front of him and saluted respectfully.

"Come, look, look, do I have the ability to write books?!"

Liu Chang couldn't wait to let the people look at it. Luan Bu took the paper and a few people surrounded him. Today's paper is still paper that has not been improved by Cai Lun. hit.Luan Bu took a few glances and was confused, "Your Majesty. What is this?"

"Oh, the widow found that today's numbers are very complicated and difficult to write and record, so they created a number by themselves. This number is called Tang Wang's number. Look at it, and write it clearly at the beginning, this is one, this is two"

Liu Chang explained it earnestly, but Shiren became more surprised the more they listened.

This thing is not something that can be created casually. The king went in for more than ten days, and then he came out?It's actually quite the same, but it's a lot easier to write.

"Look, this is addition and subtraction, this is multiplication and division, this is a simple application. These symbols are also my own idea! It's called the Tang Wang symbol! Well, also, look, this is a fraction, this is a square. This is advanced application"

Following Liu Chang's explanation, Jia Yi, who was still somewhat dismissive at first, gradually widened his eyes.

He also learned to count with Zhang Cang. Although the numbers and symbols written by Liu Chang were different, he could understand them, but the more he went on, the more he couldn't understand them. When talking about advanced mathematics, Jia Yi's eyes were dull, and he was stunned when he heard it.

Liu Chang looked at them proudly, and when he saw their surprised reaction, he felt very happy.

"Hahaha, how? You still don't believe my math book, how is it compared to the previous works??"

"Your Majesty, is this really written by you? It only took ten days??"

Luan Bu's hand trembled and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty? Didn't Zhang Xiang stay?"

"If Master stayed, why should I wait until now to take it out?"

Zhang Budo exclaimed, "Your Majesty! I already knew you could do it! Unlike these people, I have always believed in you!"

Liu Chang grinned, but Luan Bu glanced at Zhang Budo, "Don't talk about it, let's go and get everyone out of the numbers!!!"
