Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 313 The Great Han Three Chess Saints

Inside the hall, the white-haired Empress Lu looked directly at Liu Chang in front of him, with a stooped body.

The burly and sturdy Liu Chang stood in front of her, facing her gaze, but only felt frightened.

When he returned to the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang was still at a loss.

"Qing"

"You will often go to Queen Cao's place in the future. Don't forget it."

Fan Qing was coaxing Liu Bo. Hearing Liu Chang's words, he said hesitantly, "I'm not very close to her."

"Well, it's not a bad thing to have frequent contacts with her."

"Don't let her go."

Cao Shu suddenly interrupted Liu Chang, who beckoned and let the two sit in front of him.

"Empress Cao hates my grandmother's character. I can't persuade her. Now that her brother is by her side, when her brother is not around, she will let Qing walk with her. Maybe it can be saved."

Hearing these words, Cao Shu still shook her head, "Let me go by myself, please don't go."

"Why? It's better to go than you."

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything. A few days ago, Qing and the Empress had a quarrel and almost made a move."

Liu Chang looked at Fan Qing in surprise. Well, is he not so close?But why don't you know this?

Fan Qing looked a little uneasy, and muttered in a low voice, "She insisted on making it difficult for me."

"Tell me, why are you arguing?"

"Now that you are in power, the queen should naturally move out of Weiyang, and my sister should also live in Changle Jiaofang Hall. Why should she occupy it?!"

Fan Qing said displeasedly: "Besides, every time I meet her, I treat her with kind words, but she speaks coldly. If I didn't just have a baby, I would have to tuck her hair out!"

Liu Chang cleared his throat and gestured to Cao Shu.

Fan Qing said aggrievedly: "I have already apologized to the eldest sister."

Cao Shu was still very calm, she shook her head and said, "Since Xiangfeng was named King, my eldest sister has changed. She has been distracted all day, and no longer has the sanity of the past. She is probably afraid of An and worried about Hexi. Become the next Tang Kingdom."

Fan Qing looked blank, "Ah? Why are you afraid of An?"

"Do you know what An said when the king beat up the ministers?"

"What did you say?"

"He said that the king's methods were too cruel to torture the minister like this, and he should be executed directly."

Fan Qing's eyes widened, "This guy"

Cao Shu said very seriously: "She is worried that Xiang has no power, and there will be accidents, and she is worried that Xiang's power is too great, and Hexi will become the next Tang country, which will lead to his death. Because she knows that Xiang is not safe. Therefore, she desperately wanted to give Xiang a new title."

Liu Chang had a stern face and scolded: "Thinking wildly all day, can An kill Xiangcheng?!"

"My second brother doesn't want to sit on the throne, and I'm not willing to sit, but she has so many dramas?"

"If it weren't for the second brother's harmony"

Liu Chang cursed a few words in a low voice, and then said to Cao Shu: "It's better for you to appease her, let her be honest for a few years, and then go to Hexi with Xiang."

Liu Chang was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything, stood up, and left the hall.

Fan Qing looked at Cao Shu next to her, "Big sister, will she listen to you?"

"do not know."

When Liu Chang walked out of the palace, Er Zhao was waiting for him.

Liu Chang is also quite satisfied with these two people.

Zhao Mei is a clever person, and many things are arranged very thoughtfully, and he doesn't even need to give too much orders from Liu Chang. As for Zhao Shi, although he is a little stupid, he is strong and strong, and he is often called by Liu Chang to practice martial arts. He insisted that it was being beaten, not martial arts at all.

However, this fellow's martial arts have improved a lot, and in the fight with Liu Chang, the time he can persist is getting longer and longer, and it is probably that Liu Chang has begun to keep his strength and no longer goes all out.

"Your Majesty, do you want to go out hunting and patrolling today?"

"Not that interested!"

"That?"

"Just walk around in Chang'an."

Liu Chang likes to be lively, and often gathers his valet in the palace to imitate Fangshi to play, and occasionally goes out to parade in Chang'an. It is easy to be recognized anywhere.

The king doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, and he doesn't talk much all the time.

Zhao Shi had to start telling some lame jokes, trying to amuse the king.

Liu Chang actually wanted to laugh a little when he listened to the joke that had no nutrition or even a point of laughter.

When the joke is extremely boring, it seems to become a joke.

"I heard that at the banquet of your Nanyue country, each minister has two beauties to serve. I heard that you are not limited to wives and concubines, each of them has more than one hundred concubines, is it true?"

"Your Majesty's words have emphasized my country of etiquette in South Vietnam, and there will never be such a thing."

Zhao Shi said seriously: "Since I have seen the king and seen the many etiquettes of the great Han, I feel more and more that the Nanyue Kingdom is really a state of etiquette."

"My big man is the state of etiquette, and you are barbarians!"

"Your Majesty is serious, how dare you call yourself a barbarian in front of Your Majesty?"

The two were chatting when suddenly there was a noise in the distance. Liu Chang was tall and stuck his head out, and he could see the situation in the distance, but there were two scribes standing beside the road, shouting to each other. arguing, the surrounding people were in the mentality of watching a play, surrounding and wanton talking about the two people in front of them.

The two of them were very young and looked like disciples of Taixue. They didn't do anything, but they quarreled fiercely and their faces were red.

Liu Chang listened calmly for a moment, and then he heard a general idea.

The two are arguing about the recent politics of mountains and seas.

Since the Queen Mother abolished Yiyan and was convicted, there have been more and more debates about temple policies like this. One of the two is a Confucian scholar, and the other seems to be a Legalist. The Confucian one believes that a special tax on salt and iron should be established. , against monopoly, while the Legalist thinks that everything should be done from the temple.

Liu Chang listened for a moment, then left without interfering in the quarrel between the two.

"Your Majesty? These two openly criticize the temple's policy, do you care?"

Zhao Mo asked suspiciously.

Such behavior would be decapitated in South Vietnam.

Liu Chang waved his hand disdainfully, "If you can have your own ideas, no matter right or wrong, it's all good and quarrelsome. Maybe someone will be able to formulate better policies in the future."

"I thought the king would hate these people very much."

"Hahaha, even though I don't read much, I know that many famous studies are quarreling. Not only does I not object, but I even want to support my idea, and I don't know if it is feasible."

Liu Chang stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Zhao Mei looked at the king's contemplation, and knew in his heart that Zhou Xiang was going to be unlucky.

He finally understood why Zhou Xiang wanted the king to go hunting and ignore state affairs. Just like the king, one policy followed one another, completely not giving the world a chance to breathe. It would be better to ignore state affairs.

Liu Chang turned around in Chang'an a few times, and his mood improved a lot.

Afterwards, he went to the countryside to inspect the cultivated land, and he did not disturb the hard-working farmers.

However, Zhao Shi looked at the continuous arable land and went down to touch it, but when he came back, he looked thoughtful, exactly the same as Liu Chang who was just before.

"Your Majesty, the government of mountains and seas has caused chaos in various places. Even if the king wants to repair the road, he will have to wait until next year. The government of mountains and seas has not been effective yet. The local people are very resistant, and they have to be slowed down, and can't be rushed."

Zhou Chang said seriously.

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

After Zhou Chang finished speaking, the two of them shouted in unison.

Zhang Budo was stunned for a moment, and looked behind him suspiciously. Zhang Shizhi also looked at him blankly.

Liu Chang looked at them and said, "It's time to kill these wealthy families, or they can't bear their jobs. The few people are good at persuading them. If they don't allow it, they can only do it."

"What else did the ministers say about competing with the people for profit? This is competing with the officials, and competing with the wealthy clan is the only thing that cannot win the people's head!"

Liu Chang was very dissatisfied. Empress Lv's presence was still useful. Zhou Chang agreed to repair Chidao, but he wanted to postpone it for a year or two. Compared with Zhou Chang's delay, the two surnamed Zhang were much more eager. Now, Zhang Budo couldn't wait to say: "Chidao suffers damage every day, and repairs it a day later, I don't know how much it will lose. I think I can do it now!"

Zhang Shizhi also said: "You can let the feudal lords do it first or even distribute the road sections to the local clans to handle it."

"The local clan?"

Zhang Budo looked at the young man in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

"By enticing it, let the wealthy families in various sections of the road contract that section of the road."

Zhou Chang understood a little, and he asked, "How to compensate? Free car tax? Or give money?"

Zhang Budo grinned, "Let's promise them first that they can get rid of their car tax after they build it, and we won't admit it when they're all built!"

Zhou Chang didn't even speak, and Zhaoping yelled at him.

"Zhang Budo! If you want to do this, where is the prestige of the temple? Will there be people who believe in the temple's policies in the future?"

"If you don't believe it, just kill it!"

"fart!"

Zhao Ping was so angry that he couldn't help cursing.

Zhang Shizhi was about to speak, when Zhaoping said very unhappily, "We are the three chiefs discussing matters, how can you be a small official to speak?"

Zhang Budo snorted coldly, "I see this young man, although he is young, he is a wise man who is loyal to the monarch. Why is he not allowed to speak? How could you be able to block the loyal and good mouth in this world?"

Zhang Shizhi bowed gently towards Zhang Budo, took a few steps back, and was unwilling to continue speaking.

However, Chang Liu waved his hand, "Just say what you want to say, this is not a court meeting."

Zhang Shizhi got permission, and then said: "The feudal lords are rich, let them repair them in sections, and distribute the rest to the counties and wealthy households of the big clan. The big clan who participate in this matter can exempt the car tax and allow their cars In this way, the temple saves effort, and the local area can also benefit."

Zhang Shizhi slowly talked about his thoughts.

Several big figures listened to the young man talking freely, but did not interrupt him.

After Zhang Shizhi finished speaking, Liu Chang looked at the other three, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty thinks it can be done!!"

Zhang Budo was the first to speak out.

"It's still a bit rash. The specific implementation is definitely not as easy as he said."

Zhou Chang put forward different opinions.

Zhaoping pondered for a moment, then said: "It is still necessary to improve his strategy. Such a major event must not be hasty."

"Okay, then let's go down and talk!"

Liu Chang did not persecute them any more. After all, the king is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he is a good king who can listen to advice.

Zhou Chang and Zhao Ping were talking about this, and while talking, they walked out, but Zhang Budo pulled Zhang Shizhi, "Hahaha, you son of a bitch, yes, you can come and visit me in my mansion in the future, there are many traitors in the temple now, Don't be afraid, stick to your heart and be loyal to Your Majesty!"

Zhaoping glanced at him and asked, "What is the name of that descendant?"

"Zhang Shizhi."

"It's broken. First there is Zhang Budo, then Chao Cuo, and here is Zhang Shizhi. The big man is in danger!"

Liu Chang didn't know whether the big man was in danger or not, but he knew that the three Shuzi standing in front of him were in danger.

The three of them were brought over by Lang Zhongling Chai Wu. When they were brought over, the faces of the three of them were full of fear.

"Your Majesty."

Chai Wu was very serious, and Liu Chang immediately understood that the three Shuzi had made a big mistake.

"What happened?"

"Hexi Wang Xiang, Gong Zi An, and Gong Zi Qi played chess with Zhao Guang in the palace."

"Well, then what?"

"Zhao Guang won them. The three of them became angry and beat Zhao Guang seriously. Zhao Guang's life and death are unknown."

Liu Chang's face suddenly became stern, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes. When he stared at these three people, they only felt as if they were being stared at by some fierce beast, their backs were cold, and they could not stand firmly. Liu Chang Slowly stood up, rolled up his sleeves, "The widow has never beaten you on weekdays"

"You dare to waste your life?"

Liu Chang's tone was very indifferent. He came out of the battlefield with an aura that was different from others. He was murderous. How could these three little cubs bear this? They were so frightened that they almost cried, Xiang Da. He shouted, "Father Zhong! It's all my fault! I suggested it!"

"Father Zhong! It's my first move!"

"Father, it was Zhao Guang who spoke ill of you to his uncle!"

The three cubs hurriedly explained, and Liu An shouted: "We were playing in the palace, Zhao Guang's servant always spoke ill of you to my uncle, and even persuaded him to abolish the monopoly, saying that you robbed the people and divided you and your uncle. If the father is humiliated, how can the son not repay it?”

Originally, Liu Chang's slap was already high, and when he heard this, he slowly put it down again.

"What does the matter of your lord have to do with you?"

"Father, you are a generous person. He abused him so much. You didn't do anything to him because of your uncle's face, but we can't hear others humiliating you like this!"

"Yep!"

"If the father is humiliated, the son can push the blade!"

"Yep!"

At this time, the importance of reading is reflected. Liu An talked freely, and the other two salted fish only nodded in agreement.

Liu Chang looked at the three little brats deeply, and then looked at Chai Wu, "Mr. Chai, these three have violated the law and beat your subordinates, please deal with them fairly!"

"only!"

The three little guys were all terrified at the moment, but it was too late to beg for mercy, so they were led out by Chai Wu's armored soldiers, and they were led all the way to the outside of the hall. Desperate, Chai Wu is a person who looks very serious, and he is very strict on weekdays. If he was killed from the mountain of corpses and fell into his hands, something must have happened.

Chai Wu ordered the soldiers to leave, and then stared at the three little guys in front of him.

"Mr. Chai Chai."

"Good fight."

"Ok??"

The three little guys raised their heads together and looked at the general in amazement.

Chai Wu's face was full of anger, "There is one in the courtroom, and it's best to kill them all! Langzhong is supposed to guard the palace and protect His Majesty. But my subordinates are actually women!! It's a great shame!!!"

Chai Wuren has not been around for a day or two. When they came to see Chai Wu every day, when they remembered their awkward appearance, Chai Wu wanted to drag them all out and behead them.

It's just that His Majesty is very fond of him. Compared with this cold Chai Wu, Liu Ying naturally prefers these delicate and charming husbands, which makes Chai Wu very sad and angry.

Liu An's eyes lit up, and then he asked, "Mr. Chai? What about this time?"

Chai Wu said solemnly, "Don't make trouble for no reason."

"Hahaha, I understand, thank you Mr. Chai!"

Chai Wu nodded, showed an extremely ugly smile, turned and left.

Liu Qi said in a low voice, "This person looked fierce, but I didn't expect to be such a good person!"

"Although he doesn't care, it's hard to tell from Uncle. Let's go to Changle Palace to hide."

"it is good!"

The three little guys were walking towards Changle Palace, but Liu An said seriously: "Zhao Guang was beaten like that by us, his grandfather Zhao Yao will definitely resent that we beat his son, then Zhao Yao I can't stay either, my aunt told me to do things thoroughly, to get rid of the roots, and to get rid of him!"

Both Liu Qi and Liu Xiang were a little scared.

"But he's a minister if we kill him"

"We don't need our hands to kill him."

Liu An was very calm.

"Mother~~~"

When they entered the Changle Palace, Liu An burst into the arms of the eldest mother crying, Empress Lu looked at him in astonishment, but before she could react, the other two grandsons also rushed over crying, watching Empress Lu was startled and anxious with the three darts in front of her, "What happened?"

"That Zhao Yao is going to send someone to beat us!"

"His son plays chess with us, and if he loses, he fights with us!"

"Zhao Yao said that sooner or later he would avenge this!"

A few people were crying with anger, but Empress Lu's face was instantly cold.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid, there is a big mother here."

When Zhang Shizhi took advantage of the rest time to visit Zhang Budo, Zhang Budo was not at the mansion yet.

Zhang Shizhi waited for a long time before he came to the third prince.

"Hey, why are you waiting at the door? Come in with me!"

Zhang Budo took this man's hand enthusiastically, walked into the mansion together, and said as he walked, "If I knew you were coming, I would go to the censor later to solve a major case, the newly appointed Hexi Dianke Zhao Yao actually rebelled and hid his armor."

It is rare for Zhang Budo to be so enthusiastic about other officials. He sighed: "Today's traitors are rampant, officials like you and me have no place to stand!"

Zhang Shizhi was respectful, and after the two sat down, they discussed the recent state affairs.

Many of the ideas of the two coincided with each other.

However, there was a controversy on the issue of facing the king.

"What the king says is what he says. We just have to solve the problems for the king, so that we can be regarded as loyal ministers!"

Zhang Shizhi stopped talking.

"Hahaha, just say what you think, I will never blame it!"

"The minister thinks that if the king is at fault, and the ministers do not persuade him, but cover up, then it is not a matter of loyalty to the king!"

In the face of the different disputes between the two, Zhang Budo also expressed his understanding, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and expressing their own opinions. He said very kindly:

"Get out!"
