Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 267 The Defeatist Wizard
This upright witch was convinced of what his grandfather taught him.

He believed that he could indeed predict good and bad luck, it was just that Da Danyu was unwilling to believe in himself. When he was depressed, he met King Tang who came to ask for supplies, and watched his soldiers kill him a few times. , Wu quickly performed a divination on himself, um, the result showed that surrender was the only way out, and then he surrendered.

Later, he was taken back to Tang country. He found that he actually had many colleagues in Tang country. After friendly exchanges with Tang country's counterparts, he felt that his divination ability had made a new breakthrough. Sent to a new mine, the officials saw him as a smart man, and the rest of the workers respected him, so they asked him to do a divination to predict where the most resources would be mined. , this mine is going to have an accident!
Those servants were terrified, and they dared not say anything to dig. The officials' faces were ashen, and the witch was almost killed.

Of course, nothing has happened to the mine so far.
At this moment, when I heard the noble man in front of him say that he should reuse himself, remembering the disappointment in these years, others' doubts about him, beatings, insults, he couldn't help shedding tears.

Chen Ping is a little suspicious, why is this fellow crying?

Wu hurriedly took out a few stones from his arms, which made Chen Ping frown.

"what do you want to do?"

"Sir, just say it, what do you want to divination? I promise it will be very effective!"

Looking at the extremely excited Wu in front of him, Chen Ping was very calm, "How many sons does Mo Dun have?"

"I'm divination"

"What are you doing fortune-telling?! Didn't you say that you follow Mo Dun all the year round? Don't you even know how many sons he has?!"

Chen Ping reprimanded Wu only to remember that this matter does not seem to require divination. He hurriedly replied: "Modun has six sons, two died, and now there are four."

"Tell me about the situation of these four people"

Wu put down the small stones and began to seriously talk about Mao Dun's sons. The first one was Ji Porridge. According to Wu's words, Ji Porridge was a very gentle person, not like Mao Dun's sons at all. The adults here like him very much, but the generals who follow Modun hate him very much. After every battle, he will distribute the materials he has captured to his subordinates, but this person never does divination. Even so, he was polite to witches.

Once, I had received a piece of meat as a reward from him.

Then there is Hu Tu. According to Wu’s words, this person is a stubborn, outspoken person. He often offends people because of his words. Wu mentioned one thing. When they went to Ding Ling’s side, Mo Dun suddenly felt emotional The wind was getting colder and colder, but Hu Tu excitedly told Mao Dun, "It's not because the weather has changed, it's because you're getting old, so you feel cold!" Angrily, Mao Dun almost whipped him with a whip.

The third son is named Yan Gu. This man perfectly inherits the ferocious character of Mao Dun. He is arrogant and eager to kill. He has the worst relationship with Ji Porridge. In front of Mo Dun, he is a good boy, but in front of others he is a man-eating beast. , The Huns were very afraid of him, and sometimes, he would even kill someone just because someone looked at him, which made people panic and the tribe was alienated.

The fourth son, Nengche, is the most favored by Morton because of his biological mother, but because he is young and has little power, he is often bullied by his two older brothers, but he has the best relationship with Ji Conge. I love him very much, and I often take him to play around. Every time I go back, I will definitely bring him gifts.

Hearing Wu's words, Chen Ping squinted his eyes and quickly had an idea in his heart.

Among the four sons of Modun, Ji Conge was obviously the most perfect successor, with very strong means. If he was in the upper position, he might be able to gather the tribes faster than his grandfather, unite them together, and become the big man's confidant. A few sons can be put to good use, especially Da Gu, who has the most rigid relationship with Ji Porridge. If such a lunatic inherits Mo Dun's career, the Xiongnu will be self-defeating.

"I'm going to ask you to contact Dagu. Dahan can help him to take the position of Xiongnu Shanyu."

Before Chen Ping's words were finished, Wu had already thrown out the stone in his hand and started divination.

Wu's face changed greatly, "Noble! You can't be like this! You are so fierce, you will definitely fail like this!"

Chen Ping took a deep breath and asked coldly, "You don't want to go?"

The witch wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly said: "This is the result of the divination."

Seeing that Chen Ping's face was getting worse, Wu hurriedly explained: "Besides, this Da Gu is notoriously disgusted with the Han Dynasty. He is the one who is most opposed to making peace with Dahan, saying that he would rather die than do it. If you don’t believe it, you can ask other Huns, I’m not telling lies”

Hearing these words, Chen Ping began to ponder again.Mo Dun is a tyrant, but his son, let alone a monarch, is not too close to people. If what Wu said is true, then this fellow can be used, but not contacted. Chen Ping's target was changed to the old man. Two, the outspoken one.

"You stay in Chang'an for a few days, and I will check if your words are true, if you dare to lie to me."

Chen Ping is still very cautious in doing things. He also has to confirm the same thing from all aspects, and he will never trust the words of the family.During this period of time, Wu Bian lived in a house in Chang'an. This was originally the house of Shi Shiqi. Later, his house was raided, and the house was empty. For some reason, it fell into Chen Ping's hands. .

During this period of time, Wu had been divination for his next destiny.

"Ferocious, something is going to happen now"

Just as Wu was muttering to himself, a man swaggered in here.

Wu raised his head, saw the person in front of him clearly, was startled, and hurriedly stood up to meet him, trembling all over his body.

The person who came was of course Chang Liu. After Chen Ping informed Chang Liu of the information he had collected, Chang Liu decided to come and see him.

Liu Chang was still quite curious about this witch. It was said that during his years in Tang, no matter what he counted, he could finally figure out a failure, a big murder, and something wrong.He had heard of defeatist strategists, but he had never heard of defeatist wizards.

Liu Chang looked at him, "After you were caught by the widow, have you ever been hungry?"

"Never."

"Since you didn't starve, you should do something to repay the widow's kindness!"

"Yes!"

"The widow actually has no intention of fighting against the Xiongnu. It's all because the guy named Ji Porridge is blocking me from getting supplies in Shuofang and developing with him. I did it as a last resort!"

"You have already surrendered to the big man, and the Huns don't pay attention to you. If you can help the widow, the widow will give you a promotion, so that you can live a rich and noble life in Tang and protect your children!"

Wu hurriedly nodded, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you!!"

"Well, for other things, Chen Ping will tell you what to do. Sooner or later, the Huns will perish in my hands. If you want to gain wealth and honor and want to live, you can do things for the widow with peace of mind, and the widow will never treat you badly. !"

Wu nodded again and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to send me back to the Xiongnu?"

"Oh, you're not stupid. I want you to contact the second prince. I want to be friends with him and help him achieve great things."

Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to divination for this matter!"

Liu Chang shook his head, "Don't think about whether this will be successful or not. If you do, what will the next fate of the Xiongnu be."

Wu nodded, and hurriedly made a divination. Sure enough, no accident, Wu hurriedly called out, "Ferocious! Something big is going to happen!"

Liu Chang felt that he gradually understood how to use this wizard. Next, Liu Chang asked him to do some calculations, including what would happen if he was not at ease doing things for Liu Chang, and what would happen if he didn't go to the Huns. Questions like what would happen to the escape, the wizard has calculated the culprit several times, and the whole person is extremely frightened.

Chang Liu understood that when he first learned witchcraft, he probably didn't learn how to count as good, only how to count as evil.

If you go out to fight in the future, take this fellow over there and ask how the Xiongnu will be in this battle. This will definitely boost the morale of the army.

Liu Chang was content to leave, but stopped again and asked, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, my name is G. Da Wuge."

"As far as you are still a big witch, your tribe is simply the most shabby tribe that the widow has ever seen in his life. Take this money to buy new clothes, who are you?"

Liu Chang muttered, turned and left here.

In the face of Liu Chang, the anti-king, the attitude of the false sages is very complicated.

When Liu Chang came to Taixue at the invitation of Uncle Fuqiu, the sages here had different expressions, some were happy, some were frightened, some were angry. Liu Chang didn't care, as long as these people could It's good to cultivate more talents for Dahan. As for your attitude towards yourself, it doesn't matter at all, and you don't dare to speak about yourself in person anyway.

But Liu Chang's idea was soon shattered.

"I heard that His Majesty is very kind to the king, eating on the same mat and going out in the same carriage, but the king has now occupied the palace, made his soldiers stationed in Chang'an, drove the emperor to the harem, and controlled it by himself. What is the reason for the government to issue orders recklessly?!"

A Confucian scholar stood in front of Liu Chang and asked angrily.

Those colleagues around him were immediately frightened by these remarks, panicked, and even dared not stay by his side.Uncle Fu Qiu, who was following Liu Chang's side, changed a lot at this moment, very angry, and shouted: "Bai Sheng! You can go back!"

This Confucian surnamed Bai was a disciple of Uncle Fu Qiu, but the Confucian disciples have always been disobedient. Just look at the few disciples of Xun Zi and you can see this.

This Bai Sheng, with a hot personality and a strong personality, questioned Liu Chang like this in front of everyone.

This is not the first time. Before, he had shown dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother, and therefore decided against the high official Houlu. He could only assist Fu Qiu Bo in the Imperial Academy and be responsible for such trivial matters as running errands.Facing the teacher's reprimand, Bai Sheng was even more angry, "The teacher once told me: the rich and the noble cannot be promiscuous, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be submissive!"

"Why do you submit to the power now?!"

"King Tang is in power, this is a well-known thing in the world, why doesn't anyone dare to oppose him?!"

Bai Sheng was very excited, and put his hand on the hilt of the sword, as if he had a bad idea of ​​Tang Wang.

The few soldiers who followed King Tang were about to step forward, but Liu Chang motioned them to step back. He looked at the scholar in front of him with great interest. He saw a lot of great scholars like Shusun Tong, and suddenly encountered a man who dared to reprimand him in person. His own Confucian scholar, Liu Chang was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, please forgive him for his crimes. He is my disciple. I only teach him the principles in the book, but I can't teach him the principles of how to behave in the world." disciples begged for mercy.

"No need to beg for mercy! I'd rather die than bow my head to the traitor!"

Bai Sheng was still about to insult, but Uncle Fu Qiu yelled loudly, "Shut up!!"

However, Liu Chang suddenly burst into laughter, ignoring the stunned people present, "Although you are stupid, you still have some guts. The few people won't kill you. Come on, arrest this fellow and let him be in court. Reflect for a few days!"

The soldier then stepped forward to arrest him, and Bai Sheng was quickly pulled away.

The atmosphere in the Taixue suddenly became a little different. Everyone was silent, and Uncle Fuqiu was just sighing. Chang Liu didn't care about it. He pulled Uncle Fuqiu and sat down with Qun Xian, and began to discuss knowledge. The knowledge discussed by these sages is only in mathematics.

In this era, numeracy is also a university question. For example, Zhang Cang, his famous talent in the world is numeracy. Both Confucianism and Legalism place great importance on numeracy. Huang Lao is average, but he is not ignorant. He is an official. Basic skills are still there.

During the conversation, everyone gradually became less restrained than before, and gradually began to chat with Liu Chang about various mathematical problems.

The lecture, or debate, lasted a day.

Everyone has benefited a lot, and Liu Chang has also successfully lost a big face in front of everyone. In the past, there have always been people who thought that Liu Chang's book was written by someone who helped him write it, and Zhang Cang was the most likely one.Uncle Fu Qiu also said with a smile: "I often hear others say that the Great King's book was written by others and was taken away by the Great King. After today, no one dares to say that about the Great King again."

"Someone else wrote it?!"

Liu Chang was very angry and shouted, "Widowers always seek truth from facts and never take credit for others!"

Qunxian, who had already believed in Liu Chang, suddenly became a little shaken after hearing this.

Qunxian was busy, so Liu Chang took Uncle Fuqiu, and the two walked together on the road. When Liu Chang saw that there was no one around, he smiled and said, "Master Fuqiu. During these days, what you have done is It's not very good. It's hurting the widow!"

Uncle Fu Qiu was stunned, "Why did Your Majesty make such a statement?"

"The widow is an anti-thief. Those people scold the widow in private. That's what it should be, but you have to stand up for the widow, argue with people everywhere, and say that the widow is a last resort. How can this be done?"

When Fu Qiubo heard this, he immediately shook his head and sighed again.

"Why is this?"

"It's okay, the rebels should be scolded. If no one scolds, then something big will happen."

"The king is ashamed to exchange his fame for Taiping old man."

"These are all small things. When the widow came to you, there is actually a big thing."

"Please command the king!"

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "You know. In the past, my mother set up Chinese schools in various places to cultivate talents. Now, one county and one Chinese school has become the standard teacher. The problem is not difficult to solve, but the problem of books is rare. My brother abolished the crime of collecting books. Allowing people to have books in their homes."

"Brother's benevolent government, I also admire it very much."

"However, there are still very few books circulating in various places. Those who have a collection of books at home will never give outsiders a glance unless they are close."

"The widow wants to take out the collection of books in the palace and distribute them all over the place, but there are also many useful books in the local collection. I know that you have a lot of books in your home. If you can take out the books and copy them, they can be used to spread and discover. Cultivating more talents is really helping the widow.”

"My own collection of books is of no use. Your Majesty wants the old man to call upon a sage who has a collection of books in his family to copy it and dedicate it to His Majesty?"

Uncle Fu Qiu was a smart man, and quickly understood Liu Chang's thoughts.

Liu Chang nodded and said proudly: "You may not believe it, but the widow does have a way to copy a large number of books, and it can be done without a single cent!"

"Although the widow doesn't like reading, the book is really a good thing. If the widow doesn't read it, you can let everyone in the world read it!"

"Today, there are too few people in the world who can read and hyphenate. The main reason is that there are too few books and few people are ready to set up bookstores, just like restaurants and restaurants, so that books can be circulated in various places as soon as possible. In the hands of the few people, the big man will definitely be able to It is getting bigger and bigger, and the talents needed will only increase, and I want everyone in the world to be able to read!"

"Your Majesty is a virtuous monarch like Yao and Shun!"

"Your Majesty has such an ambition, how can this old man dare not to help His Majesty with all his strength?"

"The old man will write to all his friends and persuade them to copy the book and present it to the king!"

"However, is there any way, Your Majesty, to transcribe a large number of books?"

Liu Changda laughed, "Hahaha, it's not difficult to explain this. Have you ever played in the mud?"

Uncle Fu Qiu was confused, just shook his head blankly.

Dahan's Shangfang organization is also busy at the moment, but in Liu Chang's hands, Shangfang has changed from an organization that builds objects for the royal family to an invention organization, so things are very secretive, and outsiders don't know what they are busy. I don't know what their latest results are.

Only the guards guarding the surrounding can see these Shangfang people walking around holding wooden boards. They are covered with a lot of ink, and they keep walking in with books. The guards look at each other and start making Did you start flipping books after that?Is it too late?
After Liu Chang took power, things in the temple suddenly became busy, and Liu Chang issued several decrees in succession.

Liu Chang's orders were very casual. When his mind became hot, he decided directly, but the ministers had to discuss them seriously, make improvements, and gradually implement them.It can be said that Liu Chang opened his mouth, and the ministers ran and broke their legs. Chen Ping was better because he had subordinate officials. Zhou Chang and Zhang Cang were already unable to bear it.

Zhang Cang, who was unable to be crushed by a hundred or ten beautiful women, was almost exhausted by Liu Chang's frequent decrees.

They can only hope that these decrees can play their role as scheduled, so that they don't have to work in vain.

As for Liu Chang, who gave the order, he was in the Hall of Honor at the moment, eating meat in a big bowl and drinking heavily. Life was a pleasant one.
