Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 427 The Prestige of the Prime Minister
"Straight!"

Liu Chang threw the article written by Liu An on the ground, looking very unhappy.

Liu An was a little surprised. His grandfather's requirements were so high?
He also put a lot of effort into this article, using various simple allusions to convey various moral thoughts, filial piety, harmony, trustworthiness, loyalty, etc. Liu An felt that he had written the essence, so he followed his father's request. It is now handed over to Zhidu, and it can be directly used for publication without any modification.

But articles of this level were not taken into account by Chang Liu.

Looking at the angry father, Liu An explained helplessly: "Father, don't you understand? I'll explain it to you."

"fart!"

"Who asked you to write such an article? Did I ask you to come here to do scholarship? If I need something like this, why don't you just let Uncle Fuqiu, Lu Jia and the others come? Could your article still be good? Can't get past them?"

"Then it's hard to say that if it is a text on Taoism, my son will not be afraid of him, Duke Fuqiu."

Liu An raised a bar according to the rules, but in the face of his father's darkened face, he still did not continue to talk.

"That's why I want to get involved. Uncle Fu Qiu and the others want to use the Analects for enlightenment. Wang Sheng and the others said that using the Tao Te Ching is something that can be used for enlightenment for children? You just need to learn the word. Difficulty knowledge is just nonsense."

"Zhou Chang, Lu Jia, and the others, all take this as a study. These literati just don't understand the simple and easy-to-use truth!"

Liu An understood, he asked suspiciously: "Father thinks it's too complicated?? But this is already very simple and rough."

"Simple, what do you do with so many obscure allusions?"

"For me, you can write after listening to it!"

"only."

Liu Chang hesitated for a moment and said, "We have to write dozens of anecdotes in the form of stories, so that children can learn happily instead of reciting these allusions. These allusions can be taught later. Filial piety to rule the country, then this first story, choose a filial piety story!"

"This first article, it's better to use the birds and birds to feed back."

"Ah? Father said that the crow is feeding back? But this is just a folk rumor, and there is no factual basis, my son has."

"The important thing is whether there is a basis?? The important thing is whether you can experience filial piety!"

Liu An was helpless, so he nodded and muttered in a low voice.

"Write it. Just write about a certain bird. When I was young, a big bird often came to feed. When the big bird is old and can't fly, it will start feeding back to its parents. Write cheerfully, well, write quickly! Don't be too much. Complicated, the simpler the better!"

Liu An picked up the pen and started to write, and wrote four or five articles in a row. Liu Chang was not satisfied, and always thought it was too complicated. Until the sixth article, Liu Chang carefully read it for a long time, and then asked Liu Bo to come over and hand it over to him. From his point of view, for Liu Bo, who was just receiving enlightenment, the story was not bad. He read it carefully, only a few new words could not be fully recognized, so he could probably understand the meaning.

Only then did Chang Liu nod his head in satisfaction, okay, let's write at this level!

Liu An originally wanted to include a few real things. For example, Ji Bu of the current dynasty could be used as a model of faith, and himself as a model of filial piety.

However, Liu Chang used animals as the main reason for simplicity.

It was busy until the evening, and the arrival of Fan Qing and Yong E interrupted the important affairs of the father and son. By this time, Liu An was already dizzy, and his mind was full of chickens, ducks, puppies and so on.

Liu An never dreamed that one day he would actually write such a thing. The simplicity and rudeness of the preaching method is outrageous.

Anyway, let me use an allusion, but it really doesn't work, let me polish it up a bit! !What is this.

Liu An only felt that he had suffered a kind of humiliation. I am the one who treats Huang Lao, so you let me write this? ?
Empress Cao was not in the palace. Cao Cheng's wife gave birth to another child for him. Empress Cao went to see her daughter.

Fan Qing and Yong E were a little curious when they saw all kinds of papers piled up around the father and son.

It's rare that the father and son can get along in harmony, yet they haven't even started to pinch.

Today, when Cao Shu is not at home, these guys in the palace have completely released themselves.

"Ann?? What are you doing??"

Fan Qing smiled and sat beside Liu Chang, looking curiously at the papers on the ground.

Liu Chang said proudly: "Zhen and Anco have done a big thing. These are all enlightenment textbooks. It is our father and son working together!"

Liu An hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, it's all my father's credit."

Liu Chang said displeasedly, "Can I still take the credit for my child? Don't worry! I will never be greedy for your credit!"

"No, no, Dad, everyone in the world knows that you are proficient in numbers, but they don't know your talent for writing essays. If you ask me to come forward, I'm afraid they will think it's my credit, and my son is just ghostwriting for you. That's all, Erchen begged my father, don't tell the public that this was written by Erchen!"

Liu An earnestly bowed towards Liu Chang's possession.

Seeing that the child is so sensible, Liu Chang felt a little moved.

My son has finally grown up, and he knows to think about his old father.

Liu Chang looked at Fan Qing and Yong E, and asked curiously, "By the way, why can't I see you all day today, where have you been in such a big snowstorm?"

"We went to Taipu to borrow a horse to ride!"

"Hahaha, I won!"

Fan Qing said proudly, Yong E glanced at her and said, "It's not because I'm sick."

All the people present well explained what is meant by "Cao Shu is not at home today".

While she was out, this group of people did a lot of "seeing fights", and they were still complacent at the moment.

Liu Chang grinned and said, "It's better than riding, why go outside and go directly to the inner room."

"Cough cough."

Fan Qing gestured to Liu An, and Liu Chang just stopped talking and happily picked up the paper in front of him, "Come on, take a look! This is what Liu An wrote!"

Liu An was startled, unable to dissuade him in time, and hurriedly got up.

"Father, then I'll go see the eldest mother first."

Liu An quickly escaped from here.

Fan Qing and Yong'e, on the other hand, were seriously appreciating Liu An's articles.

"Wow, he writes really well!"

"The little horse crossing the river is the best!"

"No, this crow's feedback is the best!"

In the Hall of Houde, several people discussed intensely.

Liu An stayed in Changle Palace that day, and couldn't sleep for a whole night.

The next day, as soon as he got up and went out, he met Lu Lu who came to take him to the Hall of Houde.

Seeing Lu Lu, who was smiling all over his face, Liu An cleared his throat and hurriedly smiled, "Father Zhong, my father and I have made an agreement to find him in the evening and I will go to class first, so as not to delay my studies."

It's a pity that the unreliable Father Zhong in front of him has the only advantage that he listens to Liu Chang's words.

Lu Lu hurriedly stopped Liu An who was about to leave, and said with a smile: "Prince, don't worry, your Majesty has already asked for leave for you in the Prince's and Sima Gong's place. I am very happy, and said that you can write with peace of mind, and you don’t have to worry about your studies, and you have to ask for an original text to read.”

Liu An's face gradually became desperate.

"But I'm just a ghostwriter"

"His Royal Highness does not know, Your Majesty feels your filial piety, and has already told the minister about this matter, saying that he will never seize the credit of His Highness."

Liu An appeared in front of Liu Chang with a dull look. At this moment, he had lost all the fighting spirit to resist.

Completely reduced to the pen in Liu Chang's hand.

What Liu Chang said, he wrote whatever, all kinds of absurd, funny, stupid and rudimentary articles in Liu An's eyes were constantly taking shape in his hands. For a quasi-big guy who studies the nature of the universe all day, writing like this The article is simply a kind of torture on the soul.Strictly speaking, Liu An in history belongs to the category of philosophers and thinkers. Of course, he is also a writer, but literature is only an auxiliary tool.

After writing a lot of fairy tales and bedtime stories, Liu An was finally relieved.

He wrote a total of more than 30 articles for Liu Chang, all of which were fabricated by Liu Chang and written by Liu An.

It belongs to the powerful alliance of the two sides, although Liu An does not think so.

Soon, Zhou Chang appeared in the Hall of Houde and looked at the thick paper in Liu Chang's hand. Although he didn't believe that His Majesty could write anything good, he decided to watch it seriously and came with Zhou Chang. Yes, there is also Lu Jia and a large group of scholars who are responsible for compiling textbooks. These people are either ministers or everyone.This time, they gathered to see how His Majesty's textbook was. If they didn't work, they would hand over the one they had written to His Majesty.

They are still very satisfied with the set they have written. The textbooks they have written include the essence of a hundred schools of thought, which are profound and mysterious.

This is what they have spent a long time negotiating and writing. Of course, they also took into account the audience of enlightenment, so they deliberately moved in a simple direction, which is probably similar to the one Liu An wrote at the beginning. They feel It is very simple and easy to understand, but it actually includes the doctrine of a hundred schools of thought.

Speaking of which, it's still a matter of words.

Everyone didn't think that His Majesty could write anything good. They also heard that the prince was involved. The prince is indeed literate. Everyone knows that, but the problem is that the prince is young, and he can't be so many great sages. opponent.

But when they excitedly picked up the textbook and started to read it, the smiles on their faces instantly solidified.

What the hell is this? ? ?

Liu Chang opened up a new system. Before him, most of the articles were heavy and elegant, but Liu Chang's textbooks were extremely popular. The words seemed to be the conversations of the people in the countryside, and even birds appeared. Talking to his mother, hugging each other and weeping, that sort of thing.People in this era, even if they want to use things for their own use, will not anthropomorphize animals. Animals are livestock, and people are people. How can they be compared?
This extremely vulgar dialogue, language, and even the narrative structure of the entire article, directly stunned this group of sages.

What the hell is this?

The most popular of Dahan is Lun, Fu can also be.

For example, Jia Yi's "Guo Qin Lun", Chao Cuo's "Guishu Lun", Liu Chang, how to say it, let alone popular, in the eyes of Qun Xian, it is simply nonsense.

Although it still takes the form of classical Chinese, a large number of oral language is as shocking as the later classical Chinese encounters vernacular novels. It is vulgar to put such novels as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the Han Dynasty, after all. Novels in the traditional sense started from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and those poems written by Cao Cao were also vulgar in the early Western Han Dynasty. Only the poems like the Book of Songs are real poems.

The sages were silent.

At this moment, Zhou Chang couldn't help nodding his head.

"Okay, okay, it's easy to understand and full of fun. It's the most suitable for children's enlightenment! The most important thing is that this form can be used by the entire county school!"

Lu Jia hesitated and fell into a dilemma.

And the rest of the sages mostly resisted.

"No! The world's knowledge, with a hundred schools of thought, the things in this article, there are no hundred schools of thought, vulgar. It is more like a novelist's street talk, hearsay."

If it wasn't for Liu Chang, they would definitely say the worst things. It was only because of Liu Chang and Liu An's face that they could hold back the contempt in their hearts. Among the hundreds of schools, there is a novelist, and this school is not They are not specialized in writing novels. They are responsible for recording the folk street talk and reporting to their superiors. Their status in Baijia is very low and very low.

Not all Daxians are against it.

There are also supporters, such as the Confucian Gongyangshou.

Gongyang Shou believes that although this method does not have the words of a hundred schools of thought, what it contains, such as filial piety and trustworthiness, are advocated by various schools and can be fully applied. Doctrine, stand still, use the old way of debate, use the past article specifications, the past has perished, why are you still holding on to these things and not letting go?"

By this time, Qunxian began to be in an uproar.

They quickly quarreled, and the quarrel was no longer an Enlightenment textbook, but a requirement for articles today, in short, a view of the "traditional rules" of literature.

This is to mention a very important thing, the dispute between the modern and ancient texts of the Han Dynasty.

This simply means that a large number of Confucian classics were burned, and then some Confucians handed down the classics through oral traditions, combined with the current situation, rewritten the classics, and made annotations. There is a huge difference between these ancient classics and today's classics, and the two sides started fighting.

As for this Gongyangshou, he is not very famous, but he has a great grandfather. This great grandfather has a certain position in Confucianism. He also wrote a book that had some influence later. The great-grandfather's name was Gongyanggao, and he wrote a book called "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Gongyang", and his disciples were called the Confucian Gongyang School.

Gongsun Shou also had a disciple who was also somewhat famous. His name was Hu Wusheng.As for Hu Wusheng, there is a somewhat learned classmate named Dong Zhongshu, and an incompetent disciple named Gongsun Hong.

Many people do not know that Dong Zhongshu is a Confucian Gongyang faction who advocates great revanchism.

Later, he became a "sage-level" master of the Gongyang faction of the two Han Dynasties.

Seeing that everyone's debate was going in a direction that he didn't understand, Chang Liu hurriedly called them off.

Liu Chang's face was serious at this moment, and his expression was still a little scary.

He was about to speak when Zhou Chang stood up angrily, leaning on his crutches hard, and smashed it to the ground.

"You idiots!"

"If the article can't be practical, what's the point of writing it?!"

"This article is for enlightenment. It contains the truth, which is simple and easy to understand. It can let children learn words and understand the truth in the fastest time, and at the same time will not get tired of it. Isn't this method better than your theory? There are ten allusions in one sentence, all of which can be used in Chinese studies, and in the enlightenment of county studies, what role can this play?"

"The function of the axe is to cut down trees, but it has to stipulate the size and specifications of the axe. If it is too big or too small, it must be hidden to prevent it from functioning. It is simply an idea of ​​a stupid person!"

"Your Majesty summoned you to discuss the facts, but you are talking about the specifications of the article here!"

"If you don't do real things and talk about it, it is useless to the country!"

"Everyone present here, non-marquis, will be reduced by one rank! The marquis will be reduced by [-] for their food towns! A fine of ten shields!!"

Zhou Chang cursed angrily.

At that moment, all the sages were silent. As the prime minister of the country, Zhou Chang did have this power, and Gongyang Shou was a little wronged. I clearly agree.

There is also Lu Lu who is equally puzzled. Am I not the person here? ?
Wouldn't even my food be reduced?

And Zhou Chang didn't look good, and said: "No more. No more talkative people, abandon the market!"

"Quick retreat! Lu Jia stay!"

Qun Xian was driven away just like that, Lu Jia got up with a wry smile, but he didn't expect that this hesitation was instantly reduced by five hundred when His Majesty had just named himself a marquis and gave him a thousand food towns.

Zhou Chang reprimanded everyone, and then looked at Liu Chang, "Your Majesty, this textbook is good, suitable for those who are first enlightened, but now that the county has four years of school, it is best to have four sets of this textbook, and it must be gradually improved. Difficulty In addition, it is best to do the same for textbooks of other disciplines, including this number, in fact, it can also be done in this way.”

Zhou Chang talked about his thoughts for a long time, but saw His Majesty looking straight at him.

This makes Zhou Chang a little unhappy. The old man is here to play hard for you, and you still dare to be in a daze?
Just when Zhou Chang was about to get angry, Liu Chang grabbed Zhou Chang's hand with a smile and let him sit beside him enthusiastically.

"Father Zhong, just now you are really mighty!"

"The prestige of the prime minister is like this!"

Zhou Chang just kept his face straight and did not speak.

Liu Chang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will prepare the remaining three sets of textbooks, and even the textbook on mathematics!"

"That's fine."

Zhou Chang explained a lot of things to Lu Jia. When he walked out of the palace on crutches, Liu Chang just felt that the back of this thin old man was so tall.
