Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 367
As the capital of Han Dynasty, Chang'an will open its arms every day and welcome all kinds of people.

When a group of people and horses appeared in the countryside outside Chang'an, no one cared about it. They only thought they were the distinguished guests who went to Chang'an. However, when the group of people got closer and closer, the people here couldn't sit still. The knights who opened the way in front were almost armed to the teeth, extremely well equipped, and everyone wore armor, which was a treatment that the Northern Army did not have.

But whether it is the person on the horse or the warhorse under the crotch of the person, they all look extraordinarily arrogant.

People are ferocious and ferocious, and they can force back the merchants they meet with just their eyes. The merchants are so frightened that they hurriedly evade, and drove the carriage into the nearby middle, for fear of being robbed, even the war horses shook their heads, Breathing air, when encountering a horse pulling a cart, it will also carry a strong hostility.

These people talked loudly in the dialect of the Tang Dynasty, and laughed grinningly from time to time, which made them look even more terrifying. Behind the knights was an army of about 200 soldiers, including six chariots. Surrounded by the soldiers, they slowly moved towards Chang'an.

"The Tang people are here."

The pavilion chief said in horror, constantly admonishing his patriarchs not to block the way or to anger these Tang people.

In the entire Han Dynasty, the Tang people have the worst reputation. Barbarism and brutality have almost become synonymous with the Tang people. The long-term war with the Huns has kept the Tang country in the style of all soldiers. The Yuezhi people, the Huns, and even Ding Ling and Fuyu The fusion of people has made the culture of the Tang country, which is not gentleman, even more unscrupulous. As the largest anti-thief base of the Han Dynasty, Zhao, Qi and other countries have suffered from it, and the misery is unbearable.

When this army came to Chang'an, the ministers gathered at the gate of the city, and they had already evacuated the crowd to welcome them here.

Because many people came, and everyone's identity is very special.

When Han Xin stepped out of the chariot with a cold face, the ministers hurried to pay their respects. Through the military exploits in these days, Han Xin regained his title again. After [-] households, this was still under the many blows from the temple. Han Xin relied on his own ability to start from scratch, and earned himself a position as a marquis.

Along with Han Xin, there were also Li Zuoche, Taiwei of Tang, Zhu Jian, the imperial censor, and even Feng Jing, Liu Guang and others from Jiuqingzhong.

Almost all of Tang's core high-level people except Zhang Xiangru, who was the prime minister of the state, were there.

The prime minister cannot leave easily. After all, there is no king in Tang now, and everything can only be carried out by the prime minister.

Zhou Chang stepped forward with a smile, and saluted Han Xin, "Captain, long time no see, are you still alright?"

However, Han Xin's eyes skipped him directly and landed on Chen Ping behind Zhou Chang. Chen Ping nodded with a smile, and Han Xin returned the salute with a smile.

Zhou Chang is a little embarrassed. He has never been close to Han Xin, and Han Xin's character is indeed very bad. In front of so many ministers, he dares to ignore the prime minister so much. He came and said, "I don't think so, that Ji Porridge is so fierce, it actually hurt the Marquis of Huaiyin."

Han Xin turned his head sharply, but saw Zhang Liang smiling.

"I've never been hurt."

Zhang Liang looked at Han Xin and asked, "Since you didn't hurt your eyes, why did you turn a blind eye to the Prime Minister?"

Only then did Han Xin look at Zhou Chang, who was beside him, and replied in a muffled voice, "I'm fine."

Zhou Chang glanced at Zhang Liang gratefully, then went to talk to the ministers of Tang State, and ignored Han Xin, who just walked towards the city.Rarely, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Han Xin entered the city together. Han Xin only said a few words to those who looked down on him, and completely ignored those who looked down on him.

And Han Xin looks down on very few people. Among the generals, Fan, Zhou, Xiahou, Guan, and Cao are probably the top ones who are not ignored by Han Xin, and those who are recognized by Han Xin are probably Cao Can and Xiahouying, Xiahou. Because Ying had helped Han Xin, as for the other ministers, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping were probably the three who could be seen by Han Xin.

"I thought Liuhou had already gone back."

"I was unwell, so I stayed in Chang'an to recuperate, and occasionally solved the confusion for the prince."

The three chatted, and a barrier naturally formed around them. The rest of the ministers did not dare to approach this barrier. Among the three, Zhang Liang had the most nourishing life. His son had already become the third prince. , he did not hold any position, even, he taught the prince and paved the way for the future Ping has the most say, and the heaviest need four or five soldiers to move into the hall.

As for Han Xin, although King Li didn't dare to be rude to him, he was fighting everywhere. He didn't go to Nanyue, and he went wherever he needed to. It can be said that King Li made the most of it.

Only Zhang Liang is still enjoying life slowly.

The three bosses chatted, got in the car, and all the way to the palace, until the barrier was smashed by King Li.

"Hahaha~~~"

With the laughter of the exclusive villain, Liu Chang strode towards them, looking at the situation in front of him with so many talents, and the situation is full of justice, Liu Chang is very happy, and he stretches out his hand to give Han Xin a bear hug. , However, Taiwei Han didn't eat his tricks, just that look made Liu Chang change his goal, and gave a hug to the most harmless old beauty, Zhang Liang's face was full of helplessness.

"Your Majesty. We only met yesterday."

"Really? It's as if we haven't seen each other for a year."

"I have to leave a marquis, just like Emperor Gao has to leave a marquis!"

Even Zhang Liang, after hesitating for a moment, seemed to understand what Liu Chang wanted to say.

The person who came from afar was Han Xin, Liu Chang said a few words to Zhang Liang, and then took Han Xin's hand and let him sit beside him, extraordinarily close and proud, "Master, I have ascended the throne. .I am now the Son of Heaven. At the beginning, Master once said that I have the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and Master's prediction is true!"

Looking at the disciple in front of him whose tail was almost raised to the sky, Han Xin did not show any respect for the new king, but said displeasedly: "It was I who misunderstood the man who looked at him and didn't look like a human king, so I didn't see it!! "

Liu Chang was shocked and asked, "Master actually reads Xunzi?"

Han Xin took a deep breath, "I have read books. Besides, this is what Mencius said."

Liu Chang waved his hand disdainfully, "Master should read Xunzi, even if he reads, what kind of Mencius? Today, in Confucian temples all over the world, all sacrifices are Xunzi. It can be seen that Xunzi is the real sage!"

Han Xin looked suspicious, and Zhang Liang, who was beside him, nodded and said, "This is the truth."

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he enthroned Xunzi as the Holy Master of the Son of Heaven, set up sacrifices for him, and forcibly ordered the Confucian Temple to remove Confucius and place Xunzi. His Majesty also asked the Confucian scholars not to study the Analects, but to study Xunzi. The Confucian scholars did not dare not to obey, and studied Xunzi all day long. They knew that His Majesty liked Xunzi, so they went around to sort out Xunzi's articles.

"Even the apprentices with Xunzi are also famous. The Han people rebuilt a temple for Han Zi in Handi. Many people did not forget him when they worshiped Xunzi."

"Even Li Si's reputation has improved a lot, and there are still people alive such as Zhang Cang, Chen Xiao, Lu Jia and others."

Liu Chang was still listening to Zhang Liang, but suddenly, he interrupted Zhang Liang and asked, "Lu Jia is also my classmate???"

Lu Jia is the first lobbyist of the big Han, who travels everywhere. He is also a scholar recommended by Wang Ling, who is a scholar who is involved in Confucianism, Law, and Huang Lao. Zhang Liang looked at him suspiciously, "Your Majesty does not know. ?"

Liu Chang cleared his throat, "Ah, I forgot."

Zhang Liang said: "There are many disciples of Xunzi. For example, Uncle Fu Qiu, whom Your Majesty loves, once asked him about poetry, and Mao Gong, whom His Majesty hated, also asked him for advice."

Liu Chang was amazed and nodded.

After listening to Liu Chang's show from Zhang Liang, at that moment, Han Xin didn't know what to say and was speechless.

Liu Chang said proudly: "Master, you don't have to compete for favor. When you return to the sky, you are also the master of the Son of Heaven! I will set up a military temple and enshrine you as a soldier immortal. Let the future generations worship you!"

Liu Chang said with emotion: "Unfortunately, my ancestor Xunzi has passed away, if he was still alive, he would be very happy to see what I did for him, and he would definitely love me, my disciple and grandson. "

"Ah."

Chen Ping's mouth twitched.

"Father Zhong, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing."

Liu Chang himself may not have imagined that he would be repeatedly attacked by future generations, and finally even Xunzi, who was removed from the Confucian Temple. Because of him, his status surpassed that of Mencius, and his status increased sharply, which brought great influence to the later wave of thought. changes.

Han Xin was very happy about Liu Chang's ascension to the throne, but Han Xin was very dissatisfied with his behavior of quietly ascending the throne without waiting for him.

Fortunately, with a few words from Liu Chang, Han Xin was no longer angry because of this, because Liu Chang did too many things to make him angry.

In the face of the situation outside Hexi and Tang, Han Xin also gave his own thoughts and opinions. Liu Chang listened very carefully. Just when a few people were chatting hotly, Zhou Chang brought Tang's officials with him. When they came to meet, Liu Chang naturally got up to meet him.

"Hahaha, Father Zhong, long time no see!"

"His Majesty!!!"

The ministers of the Tang state paid their respects, and Liu Chang hurriedly pulled them up.

Everyone sat down separately, and Liu Chang warmly greeted them and asked about Tang Guo's situation.Liu Chang expressed his relief after learning that Tang Guo was still as always "not enough to eat, enough military rations, not fully clothed, and wearing a million armor".

After Li Zuoche took the lead in speaking in Tang dialect, the style of the entire temple changed, and even Liu Chang changed into Tang dialect, and the courtiers shook their heads helplessly.The Tang ministers have not seen the king for a long time. When they meet at this moment, they naturally have endless things to say.

Just when they were talking about their own affairs, Zhou Chang couldn't help it.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's about Tang."

This time, the officials of the Tang Kingdom came here, of course, not to have a chat with Liu Chang. They had more important matters, and that was the issue of the survival of the Tang Kingdom.The former king of Tang has now become the emperor, and the powerful forces of the Tang state cannot always let the prime minister be responsible. Therefore, in response to the problems of the Tang state, the ministers put forward many ideas.

Zhou Chang believed that the Tang state should be removed and the state should be changed to a county. First of all, the Tang state was too powerful, and even had the strength to compete with the temple, which was really inappropriate.Another important reason is that there are some ministers in the temple today, and he hopes to bring all the three princes and nine ministers of the Tang state back to the temple to hold some important positions.

Of course, there are also opponents, such as Zhang Budo, who is a firm opponent.

He believes that the Tang state cannot be eliminated, and the emperor should continue to be the king of Tang.

Zhaoping believed that Prince An should be allowed to serve as the king of Tang, leaving a rule for the great Han, and the successor should be the king of Tang.

Wang Tianqi believes that other children of Liu Chang should be canonized as Tang kings, such as Prince Bo, according to normal procedures.

In the face of so many suggestions, Liu Changyi didn't know what decision to make for a while. In the end, he could only summon the ministers of Tang to discuss it together.

When Zhou Chang stated his plan to expel the country and hinted that they would have a better place, the censor Zhu Jian couldn't help it, he stood up and said: "Now that the Huns have just been defeated, you want to If you want to get rid of Tang State, where the Huns are entrenched, there are still many powers, Tang State is the barrier of Chang'an, and if you get rid of Tang State, you are the sinner who destroyed the Han!"

This hat is very heavy, and Zhou Chang's face suddenly looks ugly.

"To defend against the enemy in the north, just two counties in Yanmen Yunzhong can do it. Why do you need the huge Tang Kingdom? Are you reluctant to give up your position?"

"What did you say?!"

Tang's ministers just felt humiliated, and immediately had a dispute with Zhou Chang.

"What do you want to do?!"

Liu Chang frowned and stared at them. The previously emotional ministers suddenly sobered up and sat back to their seats.

"If you want to negotiate, just negotiate well. This is not the place to start. If you want to start, just start with me."

Liu Chang said coldly, looked at Chen Ping next to him, and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Chen Ping's face darkened, he had long known that this would be the case, this was the fate he could not get rid of.

"Your Majesty. I feel that I can follow the advice of the minister, not to remove the Tang Kingdom, and to make the Prince of Tang the prince."

"What's the difference? Do you want to let the prince go to Tang country? The prince goes out? How can there be such a reason?!"

Liu Jing was very excited, he said angrily: "Chen Houzhi's words are really inappropriate."

All the ministers were confronted by the matter of Tang State, but Liu Chang was also thinking of a solution. He looked at Zhang Liang again, but Zhang Liang gave a completely different suggestion from Chen Ping, "You can let Young Master Bo take the post. King Tang."

"How can this be as huge as Tang country!!"

This time, Zhou Chang couldn't help but refute. He didn't explain his reasons clearly, but everyone could hear what he meant. It's a pity that Tang Guo didn't use it to rebel. He was worried that Liu Bo would be the king of Tang. , will rebel against his grandfather in the future, causing the big man to fall into turmoil again.

Seeing that the ministers fell into endless quarrels again, and everyone was talking about their own thoughts, Liu Chang just felt bored.

"Enough! The ministers of the dynasty can't solve this trivial matter! I am really disappointed!"

Liu Chang said angrily, and then said: "I will handle this matter myself! Go and rest!"

Liu Chang turned around and walked out of the Xuanshi Hall, chanting words in his mouth, but he was constantly complaining and berating the ministers.

"I have to figure out how to do this in person, you ministers. Don't you know how to do something practical except to get your salary? I have to do everything myself, I really don't know what you all do. I am naturally busy. My life, it will be like this in this life, big and small things, none of them can be solved by me without me, and I am not omnipotent, do I have to solve everything by myself?"

Liu Chang scolded and walked out of the Xuanshi Hall, and the ministers looked at each other with a bit of hostility in their eyes.

"Mother!!!"

Ah Chang has not yet entered the hall, but his voice has already come in.

Empress Lu sighed, raised her head, and saw Liu Chang, who looked aggrieved, looking at him pitifully.

"Ugh"

"come over!"

"Mother."

Liu Chang obediently sat beside Empress Lv and immediately began to complain, "Today I summoned the ministers to discuss the matter of the Tang Kingdom. Every one of them who can solve the problem is arguing for himself, and Chen Ping and Zhang Liang are also two of them. The old foxes are all in a hurry to express their position. They are not enough to make things happen.”

Liu Chang looked like a child who came back to complain after being bullied outside.

Empress Lu listened very seriously. After listening to Liu Chang's words, she asked, "Are you undecided?"

"Yeah. That's why I came to see my mother, just want my mother to help me make up my mind!"

"Look at you. How can you look like an emperor, you sleeves. I should have sewed silk cloth on your sleeves. You have to come to me. Don't you do anything practical except eat meat and hunt? You have to ask me to help you with everything, I really don’t know what you are doing here. I am naturally busy.”

Empress Lu reprimanded the Shuzi, but Liu Chang just lowered his head and said nothing.

But there is no other way, Buchengqi is also her own baby, so Empress Lu had to say seriously; "Zhou Chang said that he would eliminate the country because he was worried that Tang would threaten Chang'an, and Zhang Buzhu said that he would keep it because he wanted to leave it for you. The basic plan, Zhaoping supports An, so I want to make An's position more stable, Wang Tianqi has always followed me, Bo is the blood of the Lu family, so he proposed that Bo be the king of Tang."

"In this case, you will take back Shangdang and the counties near Chang'an to the temple. Let people like Zhou Chang feel at ease, keep Tang's army, keep the basic plan, let the prince be the king of Tang, and let the people who follow the prince no longer Worrying, seal your other sons in the counties of Tang, so that they can enjoy the protection of their elder brothers, and help An Lai, who is inconvenient to leave, to govern all parts of Tang."

"Oh"

Liu Chang nodded thoughtfully and suddenly realized.

Before Lu could say anything, Liu Chang jumped up, "Mum! I know what to do! I still have something to do! Come to dinner at night, eat meat!"

Looking at Liu Chang who flew out immediately, Empress Lu took a deep breath.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it to hit this stubby, and you can't lift your hands the next day, this guy is all alive and kicking.

Just after Empress Lu sent away Da Shuzi, Xiao Shuzi also popped his head.

"Mother!!!"

When Empress Lu saw An suddenly appearing, a smile appeared on her face, and she didn't look right at all. An happily threw herself into her arms and acted like a spoiled child.

"Why didn't you go to Tianlu Pavilion?"

"Mother. I heard that my father wants to drive me to Tang country. Is it true?"

Empress Lu suddenly narrowed her eyes, looked at the grandson in front of her again, and asked, "Of course it's not true, why did you drive you to Tang country?"

"Those ministers said that Tang country was originally my grandfather's fief, why should the ministers talk about it?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I think I should keep Tang Kingdom. I also really want to be Tang King and help my father bear the pressure, but I'm afraid that if I go to Tang Kingdom, I won't be able to see my eldest mother and eldest mother if she thinks of me, what should I do?"

"Hahaha~~~~"

Empress Lu laughed loudly, patted Ann's forehead, and scolded with a smile, "You two, you two, you don't want to hide your little thoughts when you use me??"

ps: I met a reader last night, and I had a good chat before. Later, when he asked me to sit down for a while, I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, until this guy asked me: Can you code on your phone?
This reader is about 1.9 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms. He still lives across from me and said that he likes Empress Lu very much, so let me figure it out. Well, I have to move.
