Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 356 Inheritance in an orderly manner, loyal and good from generation to generation

Everywhere in Dahan seems to have become a large construction site.

It seems that Liu Chang wants to take back the cost of recuperating in the past few decades. From Chang'an City, which is being expanded, to Chidao in various places, everything is in full swing. In addition to Xinducheng and Chidao, there is also Qi Chuzhi. Several waterways between the two countries, several new city strongholds built by the Tang Dynasty outside the frontier fortresses, the city buildings built by the Yan Dynasty in Liaodong, and the water transportation between Nanyue and Yunnan.
According to Zhou Chang's preliminary calculations, after this monarch ascended the throne, he used nearly one million civilians to serve corvée at one time.

The scale is so terrifying that Emperor Gao knew the extent to which he could jump out of the Changling Mausoleum.

When Zhou Chang initially announced the situation of the corvée, the ministers suddenly burst into a frenzy, and the presentations and persuasion flew to the Xuanshi Hall like snowflakes. Liu Chang was nothing, he was strong and strong, and the presentations and persuasion of the ministers were written. No matter how much more, he won't feel tired, and it won't even delay him any time. It's just that Chen Ping, who is in charge of dealing with these performances, is tired enough.

The big guy who was still a sunny day was suddenly turned into a construction site by this dizzy gentleman. Like many people from various schools, they couldn't sit still. The first one who couldn't sit still was of course the Huang-Lao School, as the current influence. The first school, Huang Lao's attack and Confucianism's attack are not on the same level at all.

At that time, seven or eight Huang elders went to Changle Palace to meet Empress Lv.

They knew that they could not convince the tyrant, and they were going to find a breakthrough from the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother persuade this fellow.

As for Liu Chang's side, naturally many old ministers came to persuade him.

It is not surprising that this old minister who came to persuade him is the royal mausoleum who has just stepped down from the position of the state minister of Tang.

A lot of old Wang Ling had lost all his teeth, and he needed two people to support him to walk. Liu Chang felt that this guy didn't die on the way, but he was dead. With Shang Fang's in-depth research on the carriage, he added The construction of roads in various places, the risk of rushing on the road is much smaller than before, but it is not something that an old man of Wang Ling's age can afford.

Wang Ling and Liu Chang have not seen each other for a long time.

"Father Zhong!!!"

Liu Chang smiled, got up and went to help Wang Ling, but Wang Ling stubbornly wanted to tear his hand away, but Wang Ling thought too much, even if he was 40 years younger, he might not be able to tear Liu Chang away, let alone he is now At this age, he can only let Liu Chang help him sit down.

Wang Ling looked at the young monarch in front of him and sighed, "Your Majesty, do you know why the Qin state perished?"

"I know, because of my grandfather."

Wang Ling was silent for a moment, then said: "It's because of the heavy corvée."

"Yeah, that's why I have fully learned the lessons of Qin's demise, and I have been lightly reluctant."

"Your Majesty has mobilized nearly one million people to serve corvée!!!"

"But I didn't force them to work endlessly, distribute food, didn't delay farming and mulberry, and didn't force them to go from Chu to Hexi to build a city! Chidao, water transport, city, which one is for me?! Have you ever heard of someone being killed by exhaustion? Killed by starvation? Killed by beating?!"

"The officials in various places will persecute the people if they want to take credit, just to please Your Majesty!"

"No need to worry about the prince, I have embroidered clothes and monitor the Quartet. If there is such a thing, I will not let them go."

"Why don't your Majesty take it easy? Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish"

"I never like Xiao Xian, I like meat."

Looking at the faint-hearted ruler in front of him, Wang Ling became angry and scolded, "The big man is going to die in the hands of you, Shuzi!"

At this moment, Zhang Cang, Zhou Chang, Zhaoping, and Zhang Budo were all present in the hall. The last three were there because they were the third princes, and Zhang Cang was there because Zhang Cang had always regarded Wang Ling as the king's mausoleum. Treated as an elder, Wang Ling saved his life, so he specially came to greet him.

Wang Ling's remarks immediately angered Zhang Wuxuan.

Zhang Budo walked forward angrily, cursing, and couldn't help rolling up his sleeves. Zhou Chang was startled, and was about to step forward to stop him when he saw Wang Ling swing his crutches sharply, although not very strong. But the head is very good, Zhang Budo can't get close at all, and he was beaten and ran away.

Liu Chang shook his head gently, his face extremely complicated.

This is a half-dead old man. He can't walk on the road. You can't even beat him? ? ?
Wang Ling scolded while beating: "It's all because of your scumbags that you make the big man sullen!"

Seeing Wang Lingqi's body began to tremble, Zhou Chang and the others were also afraid that Wang Ling would ascend to the sky like this, so they hurriedly came to comfort them. Zhou Chang was actually not that opposed to corvée, because he was responsible for most of these matters, and he knew it himself. Whether the big man can withstand the current corvée, maybe not ten years ago, but now it's okay, and he has done everything in a thoughtful way, so that the situation at the end of Qin will not happen.

"Your Majesty, today's big Han is in a state of waste and waiting to be rebuilt. What Your Majesty has done can't be said to be wrong. All places need roads to connect, and those cities must also be built. My big Han has been governed by two generations of Ming lords and has sufficient food and grass. The people are prosperous and have no strong enemies outside. If you don’t do those things now, when will you wait?”

Among the old ministers, Zhou Chang was still relatively enlightened.

These old officials of the big man are very powerful. They are all fierce people who have survived the most brutal battlefield. However, as they get older, their thoughts are gradually solidified. It was engraved in the bones, but it was impossible to see Liu Chang's behavior. This recuperation was designated by Xiao Xiang at the beginning, and these descendants, do you know what kind of character Xiao Xiang is?You deserve to be the opposite of him? ?
Perhaps they also saw the cruel corvée in the late Qin period, the boiling public anger, and they all had a deep prejudice against corvée.

Liu Chang felt very aggrieved. If these infrastructure works are not done, is it necessary for the big man to guard the broken infrastructure and wait for the influence of heaven to perform miracles and help the big man to repair everything?
What's more, a million young and strong sounds bluffing, but it can be distributed to various places in the Han Dynasty. Each large county has a scale of less than 10 people, and the county can still bear it. Today's corvee is also for the convenience of the people in the future Well, this kind of corvee is not the kind that kills people. The duration of each year is not long, and it will not delay farming and mulberry. Why not?

But Zhou Chang's words, in Wang Ling's ears, were a betrayal of the past.

"You!! How can you say that?!"

"The big man just got better, so he tossed the people like this!!"

Zhou Chang blushed and explained: "Your Majesty never tossed the people, and this time it wasn't a toss, just a reasonable use of the people's power. What king of the dynasty didn't use the people's power?!"

"Apart from the violent Qin Dynasty, which dynasty's king would use millions of manpower?"

"They don't use it because they don't have millions of people. My big man has it now, why don't they use it?!"

Zhou Chang soon quarreled with Wang Ling.

Although Wang Ling was older than Zhou Chang, after all, they were all ministers who founded the country with Emperor Gao, and it was impossible to say who was afraid of whom.

Zhang Budo never thought that one day he would speak on Zhou Chang's side and stand in the same camp with him. However, for His Majesty, Zhang Budo had no choice but to go out of his way, and immediately spoke for Zhou Chang, together with him. To refute Wang Ling, Zhao Ping and Zhang Cang also quickly joined the battlefield. Several people were arguing, arguing with each other, and citing scriptures.

The mouths of several people were dry, and Zhou Chang said angrily: "Your Majesty! This servant is"

He turned around, but the whole person was stunned. There was nothing behind them, and there was no figure of the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Budo and Zhaoping rushed out the door almost subconsciously, shouting as they walked, "I'll go to the city gate, you go to King Tang"

Halfway through the rush, Zhang Budo just stopped.

He looked at Zhaoping, and Zhaoping couldn't help but laugh.

Oh, by the way, His Majesty has grown up, and we don't need to chase him anymore.

His Majesty, who escaped, is standing outside the pavilion in the palace, groping for the newly built pavilion in front of him. He vaguely remembers that he had sawed away a lot of wood here. When his father was still there, he often brought people here. Discuss important matters here.

"Father?"

"Aren't you talking to the court?"

Liu An appeared out of nowhere and asked in surprise.

"Oh, the court meeting is over, I just came out, right? Didn't you go to school in Tianlu Pavilion?"

"The class is over, I'll come out."

The father and son looked at the sky and knew each other well, but Liu Chang was very pleased with Liu An's skipping class, and finally looked like a public servant.

"Father, the prince is very angry. He was always talking about corvée in class, so he almost pointed at you to scold him."

"Huang Lao, this is the true biography of Xunzi, how can you be afraid of them Huang Lao?"

"Father, as soon as you ascended the throne, you started such a large-scale corvée. Wouldn't that be bad for your reputation? Those people in the world who don't know the truth will definitely scold you."

Liu Chang grinned, and he decided to tell this Shuzi the way of being a king.

"When the King of Qin was sent corvée, he didn't treat the people of the other six kingdoms as a person at all. Do you think the world hates him?"

"hatred."

"But look, what's the use of hating? When he was alive, why did no one dare to rebel?"

Only then did Liu Chang talk about the big truth, "I'm not teaching you to launch corvée, but, as a prince, the most important thing is not your reputation, but your strength and reputation. Who can make everyone in the world love you? Even if I, like the ministers said, listen to them in everything, will no one hate me?"

Listening to Liu Chang's big truth, Liu An thought deeply, "But... Father, when King Qin was still alive, it seems that Liuhou rebelled?"

"Ahem, Liuhou is hated by the country and the family."

"Then the chaos of Chang'an Juncheng. There is also the chaos of Laoyu"

"At that time, King Qin didn't have real power yet!!"

"The Cangwu Chaos"

"Come, come, come here, I will show you the chaos of Xinting!"

There are many things passed down by the ancestors of the old Liu family, such as the typical squat sitting, and the ancestral talk back. It is really uncomfortable not to talk back, and Liu Chang seriously doubts that this ancestral talk back skill is actually passed down from his grandmother. It's because Liu Fei, Liu Ruyi, and the others don't have this symptom. The most serious ones are Liu Le, Liu Ying, Liu An, Fan Qing, and Lu Lu.

If you don't do anything, you just feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Liu An knew how to appease his father. After successfully angering his father, he immediately humbly asked about Shang Fang. With Liu Changhao's characteristics as a teacher, when he heard his son's humility to ask for advice, he naturally taught him slowly. When he got up, Liu An knew from a long time that his father was very knowledgeable in this area, so it was not surprising.

Instead, it was Liu Chang, who was surprised by Liu An's creativity and imagination.

Liu An is familiar with the classics of Mozi, and even draws inferences from one case to another. At a young age, he is already able to discuss many technical problems with the craftsmen in Shangfang.

Liu Chang obviously didn't know that a certain King Li who didn't want to reveal his name, yes, he was also King Li, the second-generation King Li, his own biological son. He didn't need to say much about the work of Huainanzi, many people knew it, and he also wrote poetry. There are 82 "Huainan Wang Fu", 44 "Qunchen Fu", 4 "Huainan Songs and Poems", 19 volumes of "Huainan Miscellaneous Stars", and 1 volume of "Huainan Wanbishu".

His works involve political science, philosophy, ethics, history, literature, economics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agriculture and water conservancy, medical health preservation and other fields.

The two generations of Huainan kings are really amazing. The first King Li was full of force points. In the historical records, only two people were rated as capable of lifting the cauldron. One was the king of Chu and the other was the king of Li.

The second calendar king is full of knowledge, from philosophy to history, and then to economic literature. You may not believe it, that "Huainan Wanbishu" is even a scientific work.

This father and son are good at everything, that is, they love rebellion. The genes of rebellion are deeply ingrained. Liu Chang's descendants are either rebelling or on the road to rebellion. Whether they are outstanding in martial arts, knowledgeable and well-known, or mediocre and incompetent, they must rebel. of!
Let's just say that Liu Chang's great-grandchildren were all executed for treason.

Later, Gao Ping Liu in the famous family of Sui and Tang Dynasties came from the line of Liu Chang. Gao Ping Liu has been passed down to this day, and it can be said that he has been loyal from generation to generation.

Liu Chang didn't know what happened next, and he was only surprised by Liu An's performance at the moment.

He said earnestly: "An, you are my heir. You can be obsessed with craftsmanship, but you can't waste government affairs. The big man can't stand another competition. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu An grinned stupidly, "Father, don't worry, I. I understand."

Seeing his son who also had the temperament of rebellion, Liu Chang nodded again with relief.

"By the way. King Yan's crown prince is coming. King Yan and I have always been close to him, and I like this eldest son the most. You have to treat him well. The country of Yan is the gateway to the northeast of the great Han Dynasty, and it will do great things in the future. You can't bully others, you know. Yet?"

Liu Chang reminded.

"Father, I understand that Father Zhong has given me gifts many times over the years, and I can't treat his son badly. When he comes, I'm going to bring Qi, Xiang, and Prince Chu to greet him. By the way, Father, do you want Liang, Zhao, Wu, Jiaodong, Qi, Chengyang, etc. to send the prince over to study in Taixue together?"

Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, "Do you want them to send protons?"

"No, Father, it's not a proton."

Liu An said very calmly: "Father grew up with the princes and kings from all over the world, so he has a deep relationship and can trust them, but now, we grew up in various parts of the Han Dynasty and have no friendship with each other. When you were in power, could you still live in harmony like you do now? I'm afraid it will cause a tragedy. Brothers are against the wall."

"Therefore, I think that if each generation of princes and princes can grow up in Chang'an, accompany the king, connect with each other, and deepen the sense of identification with the great man, we can find the best teachers to teach them and let them know The truth of loyalty"

"Is this what your master taught you?"

Liu Chang squinted his eyes and asked.

Liu An was stunned and shook his head, "I thought of it all myself."

"Hahaha, you can't lie to me. When I played this game, you were still in your grandmother's belly! To be honest! Whose idea is this?"

Liu An was very depressed, "This is indeed Erchen's own idea."

"I won't tell you the truth."

"Just what I thought"

Liu Changda laughed, and even winked at Liu An, "Yes, as expected of my son, I will not admit it! That's right! Remember, this is what you think!"

Liu An's face is full of grievances, this is my own idea! ! !

Liu An can already think of the future. No matter what he proposes, the ministers will definitely think that he stole it from others. After all, there is an example of his father. Liu Chang explained a lot, then turned around and looked at him. To the Xuan Shi Hall.

"You said, if I beat Wang Ling, will no one bother me again?"

"Father. If you punch him down, he might die. It's better to give him a good time."

"Hey, is there any way you can make these old Huangs shut up?"

"Yes, if my father believes me, I can bring them to confess to you tomorrow."

"Oh???"

Liu Chang looked at his son in surprise, "So confident?"

"Does Dad believe me?"

"Okay, trust you once, do it, and take my order!"

"only!!!"

"However, go to meet the Prince of Yan State first, and don't rush to deal with Huang Lao."

"Ok!"

The young Liu Xian sat in the car and looked around curiously. Liu Xian was born in Chang'an, but he went to Yan Kingdom with his father before he grew up. Now he is a little unfamiliar with Chang'an. However, the grand occasion here , but did not surprise the prince too much, Zhongyuan?That's it?There is no difference with Tang Guo!

When Liu Xian's car came to Chang'an, he saw the people who came to greet him from a distance.

"This is the prince who brought someone to greet you. Please don't be rude and keep in mind the teachings of the king."

The minister who followed him immediately reminded him.

Without the minister's reminder, Liu Xian also knew what to do, and said seriously: "Although I am older than the prince, I am willing to serve as a brother!"

Liu Xian also has the kind of open-mindedness and heroism of King Yan, and the whole person looks like a heroic and extraordinary person. It is no wonder that he can be so favored by King Yan.

He jumped out of the car and strode towards Liu An's direction.

Liu An greeted the prince with a smile and introduced everyone to him.

"This is Wang Xiang of Hexi, this is Prince Yingke of Chu, this is Prince Qi of Wu"

Liu Xian greeted them with a smile, and everyone started chatting. Qi saw his free and easy manner, and immediately started to hang his shoulders with him, "How about you, do you want to go out for a drink together? You come from a long way, so you have to play A few days, and then go to see the Son of Heaven!"
