Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 363

Chang'an Qunxian bullied me into being old and powerless, and openly grabbed the book and ran away.

This is the most realistic portrayal of the royal mausoleum today.

In the evening, Liu Chang suddenly came to the door and brought a lot of gifts. Naturally, Wang Ling did not give him any good looks. Liu Chang also put forward his own ideas very directly, and wanted to borrow a copy from Wang Ling. Book.

Wang Ling didn't allow it, so he reprimanded Liu Chang. When Wang Ling said angrily, "I have inconvenience in my legs and feet, I can't get books for you anymore", Liu Chang immediately reacted. Four or five retainers of the royal mausoleum rushed into the inner room, carried the books they needed and ran away. The speed was extremely fast, and Zhang Budo even prepared the car in advance, and then fled after picking up the emperor.

This can no longer be regarded as stealing, this is a clear robbery! !

The dignified emperor and the three princes of the dignified man actually robbed the minister's book? ?
Facing the emperor's robbery behavior, Wang Ling was scolding, and when Liu Chang left the house, he could still hear Wang Ling's scolding from a distance.

Liu An was very happy. For a few days, he held the book without letting go. He took it with him wherever he went. He read it over and over again. This book was probably the family biography of Wang Ling, and it was the original text of Chu Wen that had not been translated. There are also many annotations, not only the annotations of Wang Mausoleum, but also the annotations of many people whose names Liu An does not know. These annotations alone can make Liu An learn a lot.

Seeing her son so happy, Cao Shu's face was also full of smiles.

"Looking at how you usually don't care about An. I didn't expect you to remember the title of the book."

"Cough, actually, I didn't remember the title of the book. I just brought out the best collection of Wang Ling's family, and asked Zhang Budo to help me find out which one belonged to Huang Lao"

Cao Shu rolled his eyes at Liu Chang and said, "Don't be pretentious. You just coughed a few times before, and you almost dispatched the southern army general Xia Wuqi to arrest him."

Elder Liu blushed and shook his head disdainfully, "It's just a dick, why should I care?"

Liu An was so engrossed in the books that he did not hear the words of the two behind him. After watching for a while, Liu An raised his head and asked curiously, "Father! How did you persuade Wang Xiang?"

"Uh, my main thing at the time was to beg each other sincerely, and then I learned a lot of martial arts with his retainers. I showed them my carriage and borrowed it."

Liu An suddenly realized, and slapped his knee suddenly, "Yes, you can grab it! Why didn't I think of it!"

"Liu An!!"

Cao Shu narrowed her eyes and read out Liu An's full name heavily. At that moment, Liu An shuddered and hurriedly reprimanded, "Father! How can you treat a minister of merit like this? A gentleman can rob others of things. Is it?! Is this an etiquette?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, Cao Shu scolded again: "Shuzi! How dare you say that to your father! Didn't your father go for you? You unconscionable Shuzi!!"

Liu An pursed his lips and looked at Cao Shu complicatedly.

He really doesn't know what to say. He can't do it right, and he can't do it right. You two are a team, right?
Looking at his poor son, Liu Chang suddenly felt a little distressed, so he said to Cao Shu: "Don't be angry, it's fine, you can beat him later, but don't be so angry that you are already in the past few days. I'm not feeling well, it's really not good, just let me beat him. So that you won't hurt yourself by hitting him."

"His Majesty."

"Queen."

The husband and wife were very affectionate, Liu An turned around and left, and waited for me to go to the eldest mother to sue you!
Just when Liu Chang was about to continue adding new blood to the royal family, Zhao Mei walked in.

"Your Majesty! It's not good! Something big happened!"

Zhao Mei looked a little frightened.

"Get out! The widow has important things to do!"

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal, we can't delay it!"

"Today is Grandpa's Changling tomb that was bombed, and the widow will also become emperor in this hall."

When Cao Shu pinched suddenly, Liu Chang was interrupted immediately. He cried out in pain and looked at Zhao Mei helplessly. His squinted eyes were full of danger. Zhao Mei knew that he was hated by this careful emperor. Yes, but he had no choice, he had to report such a major event.

"Tell me, what are you doing?! What's the big deal? Did Mo Dun come back to life, or did Chen Ping rebel?"

"The prince has not eaten for two days."

Zhao Mei lowered his head and answered helplessly.

Liu Chang was immediately furious, "He won't eat for two days, what are you doing with the widow? Go to the cook?"

Cao Shu pinched his waist again, and Liu Chang finally calmed down, "Okay, okay, I took the widow in the past and the widow won't put the meat in it today."

"His Majesty!!"

Cao Shu said very angrily: "The prince is an important minister, and you have been there before. How can you do this? You have to apologize to him seriously, and don't make rude actions, otherwise, I will inform the queen mother. "

The intimidating power of any words is probably not as good as the last sentence.

Under the deterrence of the empress dowager, Liu Chang decided to meet Wang Ling. Wang Ling didn't like Liu Chang very much. No, it should be said that he hated Liu Chang very much. However, this is also normal. After all, Wang Ling I never liked anyone.

The only friend of Wang Ling's name is Yong Tooth, that's right, the grandfather of the current Mrs. Yong.

As for the others, Wang Ling was not very close to Liu Bang. He made up his mind to defect to him because his biological mother was cooked by Xiang Yu. He did not like Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and even publicly insulted them. He spoke ill of her openly, and even he didn't like Zhou Chang, and felt that he was coveting a false name. But Empress Lv was still very friendly to him, and he never told Liu Chang once that Wang Ling was actually very easy to get along with when he was young.

As a disciple of a big clan, you can even get along with your grandfather very well. Your grandfather respects him like he treats his elder brother.

Until his biological mother committed suicide, the body was cooked by Xiang Yu.

Wang Ling's whole person has become different from the past.

When Liu Chang cautiously came to Wang Ling's mansion, he heard Wang Ling yelling at the guests. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he would not eat. When he saw Liu Chang walking in, Wang Ling became even more angry. , The whole person was blowing his beard, as if he was going to be mad at the next moment, Liu Chang grinned and smirked, "Are you okay, prince?!"

"you"

Wang Ling pointed at Liu Chang, gritted his teeth, and was about to curse, but Liu Chang sat beside him and grabbed his hand directly.

"Why, prince? That book is useless if you keep it here. If the prince is allowed to read it, maybe he won't be as foolish as me in the future?"

Wang Ling thought about it, what this drowsy gentleman said actually made some sense.

But he was still very angry, "You can't take it without asking, rob it, this is a violation of the law! Why is your majesty?"

Wang Ling didn't know what to say about Liu Chang's behavior, but Liu Chang was very calm. He asked: "When a few people set up a bookstore, they asked everyone to present their books and distribute them to the world. Don’t you have a collection of books? Do you look down on the world and only value yourself? Don’t you want the world to benefit, and only want to read secretly by yourself? Is this the behavior of a gentleman?!”

Liu Chang was very skilled at knocking back, and Wang Ling was suddenly speechless.

"My lord, the corvée I have ordered to stop."

Just when Wang Ling was about to get angry and sick, Liu Chang immediately said this sentence, which instantly calmed Wang Ling's anger.

"You stopped?"

"I'm afraid it will affect the autumn harvest. What's more, the scale of the corvée of millions of people is indeed too large. The future galloping road is also planned to be built in sections, and so many manpower will not be called at the same time."

Watching the tyrant suddenly speak human words, Wang Ling was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Then why didn't you?"

"Qin State built the road, and many people died. People are already dead. No matter what kind of benevolent government I practice, they will not survive. The foundation left by the Qin State has been destroyed by now. If I can repair it. Well, maybe the people in Qin who died while building the road will not die worthless. Their descendants can still enjoy their achievements and the road will be damaged very quickly. There is no chance of repair. It can only become a record in a book."

"A tyrant is a tyrant. It's better to be a tyrant who allows the world to have food and housing, than to be a virtuous monarch who only rambles and does nothing at all."

"What does the prince think?"

Wang Ling was silent for a long time, but did not directly answer Liu Chang's question.

"Sometimes, what you do may not be what you think it is."

"In the corvée of millions of people, I don't know how many accidents and mistakes, and I don't know how many of these things can reach your ears to govern a big country. You must be cautious. Every time you issue an order, execute your order. Yes, it's all a living person, you can decide the fate of hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of families with one order, do you understand?"

"I see."

"Okay, that book will be given to the prince. Your Majesty can inform the prince when you go back, and you don't have to come to persuade me in the future."

Wang Ling looked at Liu Chang up and down, and then said, "Prince is virtuous."

Liu Chang grinned, "Father-like!"

Wang Ling finally had something to eat, and Liu Chang also took the opportunity to take out the enlightenment textbook and told him that Wang Ling's idea was the same as that of Zhao Ping, and Zhang Wuzhu could not be responsible for this matter. In terms of thinking, it is best not to leave this matter to a certain person or a certain school, because this has a great influence and cannot be monopolized by any one party.

Even if the sages of the school are called together, they must be written by multiple schools, and they must not be the product of a certain school.

But Liu Chang also has his own helplessness. At present, Confucianism is the most active in this matter, including enlightenment. Confucianism is also doing it. The compilation of teaching materials is probably also dominated by Confucianism, and it is necessary to call hundreds of schools to write it, that is fundamental. Unrealistic, the theories of each school are different. When they meet, the first thing they do is to quarrel and fight, instead of writing it calmly.

Wang Ling laughed and stroked his beard, "Who says different schools cannot coexist?"

"Oh? Does the prince have any ideas?"

"Lu Jia."

"Lu Jia?? What does this have to do with Duke Lu?"

Wang Ling glanced at Liu Chang and said angrily, "Lu Jia first taught Confucianism, then learned from Huang Lao, and learned from the three schools of law. He is very accomplished, and his works include the three schools of thought. Thought, he has integrated it. If you want to enlighten the world, why don't you find this person first?!"

The boss is worthy of being a boss, Wang Ling's words made Liu Chang jump up excitedly.

These days, he has been thinking about this issue, but he never thought that a ready-made candidate was in front of him, and Liu Chang said: "There is also Jia Yi, Jia Yi is also Confucianism, Law, and Huang Lao, both of them are well-connected. sure!"

"Jia Yi is too young, but Lu Jia is just right."

Liu Chang didn't expect that the old man in front of him could give him such a surprise, and he asked again: "By the way, Lu Jia is now in the Western Regions, and he is on missions to various countries. The vassal states under the name of Dahan are not suitable for many people. One is that there are too many small states, and the other is that it is impossible to directly manage the prefectures and counties that I want to set up, but Hexi is still in ruins. Big"

"Your Majesty can divide the seal."

"Hey, how can it be so easy? If you attack those small countries now, I'm afraid it will cause another war. Besides, banning people to go to the Western Regions is a punishment."

Liu Chang scratched his head, not knowing what to do for a while.

Wang Ling pondered for a moment and said: "In addition to the several small states that defected to the Xiongnu, a small part of their land was distributed to the small states that defected to the Han, and the rest were integrated together to form several relatively large vassal states and then from Among the clan, choose a son who is not qualified to inherit the position of princes and kings, but is close to you. He has great ambitions and talents."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, and a candidate suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Well, I will ask his grandfather first, and then look at himself. If he is willing, he is a good candidate."

"Your Majesty must already have a candidate?"

"Yes, Wu Gongziqi, I think he is not bad."

Liu Chang solved another confusion. At this moment, he looked at Wang Ling in front of him again, only to think that the old man was so pleasing to the eye, and even his blowing beard made him look so amiable, Liu Chang immediately pulled him. Holding his hand, "Father Zhong! You haven't eaten for several days. How could you be starving? Come on! I will host a banquet in the palace tonight to entertain the prince!!!"

Liu Chang immediately set up a family banquet in the palace to entertain the royal mausoleum.

This is to express his respect for Wang Ling, who brought his grandson to the banquet.

Wang Ling's son is no longer there, and he couldn't survive the ancient old man in front of him. His grandson, who is several years older than Liu Chang, is called Wang Yu, but this man does not look like his eldest father at all. , Dumb person, does not like words, is a very responsible person, but has little ability.

Cao Shu was very satisfied with Liu Chang's attitude of admitting his mistake. She didn't expect that because of Liu Chang's bad temper, she would actually invite this person over.

At the banquet, Chang Liu was very free and easy, drinking with Wang Ling, dragging Wang Ling to dance, and singing loudly.

Everyone at the banquet was terrified. Can Wang Ling's body stand up to such a toss?

But no one thought that Wang Ling could not only stand it, but he was also quite happy.

In the music of the musicians, the old man and the young man danced and sang. The two had never gotten along so well before.

Halfway through the banquet, Wang Ling was a little drunk, and Liu Chang was not much better. The two held each other's hands and talked loudly about world affairs.

When Zhang Wuxuan came uninvited, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty this is"

"Hahaha, you're coming? Come, come and give my big brother a cup!"

When Chen Mai was about to leave the city, Chen Ping still came to see him off.

"You bastard. If you do something wrong, don't come back to see me."

Although Chen Ping still reprimanded him with a serious face, and his words were full of contempt, as if he would definitely screw up this mission, but Chen Mai respectfully bid farewell to his father. He also knew that his father was not real. He hated himself, Xiao Yan's grandmother also came to see him off, constantly instructing him and explaining a lot of things, only Guan Ah just looked at them enviously.

The three were about to leave. In order not to disturb the sages, they just left a letter and left secretly with their entourage.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no way to hide it, Chen Mai actually wanted to hide it from his grandfather.

When the three of them sat in the same carriage and slowly left, Guan A let out a long sigh.

"It's great that you still have your parents to say goodbye."

Guan A's eyes revealed some loneliness.

Guan Ying was sent to Changsha as the country's prime minister, probably because the presence of Changsha King Liu You was too low, which led to the decline of the entire Changsha country, and even to the point where Liu Chang could forget about Changsha when he collected taxes. When the envoys of various countries came to visit, the envoys of Changsha were ignored all the way.

As the prime minister of the invisible country, Guan Ying has naturally lost news over the years.

Chen Mai glanced at Guan A and said, "You don't have to envy my father every time he sees me, he reprimands me and would rather not see him."

"Well anyway, your father can still scold you, but I want to be scolded."

Guan A's mood suddenly worsened.

Chen Mai and Xiao Yan had no choice but to comfort Guan Ah along the way, let him focus on state affairs, make some achievements, and let your grandfather be moved for you too!Under the comfort of these people, Guan A was finally happier, but he was not as confident as Chen Mai, and he still had doubts about himself, wondering if he could manage a county well.

Even the sluggish Xiao Yan seemed so confident, which made Guan A even more entangled.

When they were about to reach Berkshire, a large group of elite knights armed to the teeth blocked their way.

"Who is coming?!"

Chen Mai asked angrily.

The knight searched among them, and his eyes finally fell on Guan A.

"But the Berkshire chief?"

"Exactly. Who are you?"

"We are relatives of the Changsha state. A group of thieves from the state of Changsha escaped into Ba County. The prime minister specially ordered us to come here and follow the county guard to arrest these thieves, and then return to Changsha after capturing them."

Xiao delay looked at Chen Mai suspiciously, "Is this Changsha country bordering Berkshire?"

"Not bordering."

"Then how did their thieves get to Berkshire?"

"Then you have to ask Guanying, the Minister of State of Changsha, who has nothing to do with Guan A, the governor of Berkshire."
