Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 453 It is also for the king, without fear

Walking to the door of Houde Hall, Liu An unexpectedly heard the clap of a can from inside.

This fou, similar to a clay pot, is used to beat the beat, fast or slow. In layman's terms, it is used to beat the beat when singing high.

Hearing this rhythm, Liu An suddenly didn't want to go in.

Father's singing, for Liu An, a talented man who is proficient in music, it is simply an insult to music. If music also has its own life, he will definitely commit suicide because of his father's singing. Liu An also I have tried many times to teach my grandfather the correct way to sing, but how difficult can it be to not be out of tune?It's just that no matter how many times Liu An corrects him, his grandfather sings the same way, but he always feels that he sings well and is complacent.

Liu An was about to turn around and leave, but was stunned.

Logically speaking, fencing is often very joyful. Many times, people who falter are fascinated, and they can't help jumping up, jumping and hitting, and driving the atmosphere of the audience, but now Liu An heard this. The sound of hitting the fou was actually a bit low, low, and the rhythm was very slow, exuding a strong sense of sadness. In short, it was not joyful.

Liu An stopped and closed his eyes, feeling the sadness in the music.

Indistinctly, he heard footsteps again, and they landed heavily with the beat, just like the music played, the footsteps were heavy and slow, not happy.

"Ugh"

Liu An let out a long sigh and raised his head involuntarily.

Only when there is no one, can Grandfather express his sorrow so silently?

In Liu An's mind, the picture of my grandfather hitting the cane in his hand and dancing alone quickly appeared. Thinking about it, my grandfather is actually very hard. Even his own son, he can't understand him many times. , I have always mistakenly thought that my father was an out-and-out fool, just because I didn't understand my father's ambition.

Liu An never paid much attention to the book written by his father. Until when he met the teacher, Sima Jizhu excitedly opened the book, and Liu An just learned the content of the book for the first time. For a long time, this book, in Liu An's eyes, is quite rudimentary. Liu An writes articles, the more allusions the better, each word is carefully selected, which is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, and is unfathomable. , anyone who sees it will be amazed that this is written by everyone.

As for my father's book, I could hardly find a rare character in it. Liu An always thought it was because my father didn't know any rare characters, but after reading this book, Liu An changed his mind. It turns out that my father has always been trying to use the simplest words to explain the most difficult truths.

For the first time, Liu An discovered his own shortcomings. He was too concerned about the beauty of the article, but ignored the audience of the article.

My father made an overview of Shang Fang's affairs, and formulated a set of detailed methods for them. This value is higher than the value of the articles written by Liu An in the past. Isn't this the function of the article? ?I've been going astray all the time!

Liu An had a reflection on himself, and at the same time, he respected his father more and more.

During this period of time, he continued to chat or write letters with Liuhou, Lu Gong, and even some real people. These people were full of praise for his father's new book, especially Liuhou. Liuhou believes that because With this book, my father can reach the height of a sage, and he has opened up a new direction for the whole world.

If other people's praise, Liu An will not pay attention, but his master Liu An, Liu An has never heard him make such an evaluation of anyone, Huaiyin Hou's arrogance is directly revealed on his face, and Chen Ping, Liuhou and their arrogance are hidden in their hearts, and they are all praised by them. It is really difficult.

As for Liu An himself, in these years, he has never received such praise from Master. Master always said that he had more than enough writing but not enough power.

To put it simply, it is very powerful in learning, but not very capable.

After returning to Chang'an, many things that Liu An came into contact with changed his view of his grandfather.

It turns out that my grandfather is not a faint, but I just can't understand him.

Liu An couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for his father, and even felt guilty, he must do something for his father!
Standing at the door of Houde Hall, Liu An listened to the sad music coming from inside, and the guilt in his heart became stronger. Liu An leaned in the direction of Houde Hall and bowed, and then quickly left here, he can no longer waste time. ! !How could my father take on such a heavy responsibility alone? !
At this moment, in the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang sat in front of the desk, biting the meat in his hand, swallowed it in one gulp, and drank some wine.

"Hahaha, jump! Jump! Then jump!!!"

In front of him sat two prisoners, one was kicking the fou with a sad face, and the other was dancing to the beat.

The one who struck the fou was also an old acquaintance, it was King Keimiao of Mahan, and the one who danced was King Xie Mushu of Fuyu who had just been sent by the King of Yan.

Looking at King Mahan's sad face, Liu Chang punched the case in front of him, "Happy!!"

King Mahan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and slapped the fou hard.

As for Wang Xie Mushu, who was from Fuyu, he was dancing hard and didn't dare to rest for a moment.

Liu Chang shook his head, and with their accompaniment, he quickly ate the meat in front of him.

"Jimiao, why do you think? It was Wei Man who destroyed your country, why can't you get along with me? Still want to kill my county governor?? Come on, tell me what you think now, do you regret it now?"

Ji Miao pursed his lips, "Your Majesty. This minister is also the ruler of a country, why are you doing this?"

"Huh?? You are clueless!"

"The countries of the Western Regions returned with courtesy, and I sent Jiuqing to greet them, arrange mansions for them, and marry the daughters of the clan to them! The lords and kings of the Han Dynasty enjoy the same treatment. The king of Dian was in trouble, but his son brought a sacred cow to pay tribute. I treated him as my own child, and I also treated him with more than a hundred oxen as a reward. People, you dare to be disrespectful to the big man, I didn't kill you, it's all because of your son's contribution to the city! How dare you say more?!"

Liu Chang scolded angrily, stood up, wiped the drink on his beard, and was about to walk to King Mahan, who was frightened and hurriedly said: "I have no way! I have no way! This minister regrets the destruction of the Heavenly Armament, and should not offend the mighty Heavenly Man of the Great Han."

Only then did Liu Chang stop and nod his head in satisfaction, "You have to write down what you have said and post it in the Di Bao newspaper to apologize to the big man!"

Liu Chang looked at Xie Mushu again, "And you, the big man has never had any grudges against you. I didn't even know there was someone like you. What do you mean by attacking the big man with King Mahan?"

Xie Mushu lowered his head helplessly. He was different from King Mahan. He belonged to the kind of king who founded the country. He united the tribes of Buyeo and built the royal city. Said that he was still a very capable king. He did not surrender, but was defeated and captured by King Yan. After being sent to Chang'an, he was unwilling to surrender until he was interrogated by Chang Liu alone.

After several friendly exchanges with Chang Liu, this man was convinced.

He has never seen such a burly and strong person. He has always prided himself on his bravery, but in front of Liu Chang, he couldn't even hold a single move, which made him suddenly feel that the destiny is there, this is what God wants me to do perished.

He smiled wryly at the moment, "Your Majesty, I was deceived by the villain."

"King Mahan said that as long as I could make a gesture of attacking the big man, he would not dare to attack Mahan with all his strength, and he would send me twenty cities. Who knows, before my army is ready, King Yan will kill him. The main force who came to crusade the ministers and wanted to kill the county governor was obviously King Mahan, how could I have thought that the main force of the big man would come to attack me?”

Liu Chang couldn't help laughing at this moment.

"King Yan is warlike and loves the people, Ma Han just wanted to kill his county governor, but you made a gesture of looting the country of Yan, and you can really threaten the people of the country of Yan, his main force will not hit you. Who is it??"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, you also have to write about your own faults, just like him! No less than five thousand words!"

After driving away the two prisoners of war, Lu Lu did not understand.

"Your Majesty, we have already destroyed their country, why are you humiliating them?"

"Hahaha, what do you know, this is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone!"

"Besides, it is their honor to be able to play music for me, how can it be considered a humiliation?!"

"Your Majesty is right."

While the two were talking, the general Qin Tong came to see him.

Knowing that Qin Tong was coming, Liu Chang asked Chao Cuo to be called as well.

The two knelt down in front of Liu Chang, Chao Cuo looked eager to try, and his face was full of joy, while Qin Tong looked a little helpless, as if he wanted to refuse but dared not refuse.

"General Qin, I previously issued an order to let the frontier garrison garrison the field, and the minister ordered Chao Cuo to say: I am afraid that the border garrison general will be greedy for ink, so I should appoint a commander to govern Chao Cuo. Beidi, Longxi, Hexi, Western Regions, Taifang and other places are specially responsible for the field related matters. I originally wanted Neishi to be in charge of the field commander, but it was not appropriate, so I was going to set up a field general to be responsible for field field matters. ."

"You come from a farmer, you are familiar with farming and mulberry matters, and you are also quite prestigious in the army. You are in charge of frontier affairs all the year round. I think that it is the most suitable for you to serve as the general of the field. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty. Why don't you find a competent minister to take charge of this matter?"

"The minister is good at military affairs. If your majesty wants the minister to command the soldiers, the minister will have nothing to say, just this farmland."

"General Qin, the matter of planting the fields is the most important thing. In the future, won't the army rely on the food from the fields? How can you take it lightly?"

"I'm not contemptuous."

Qin Tong didn't know what to say. As a member of the founding group in the early Han Dynasty, although he was not a top-notch like Fan Kuai, he was still one of the top [-] people in the founding of the country. When he was tasked with farming, he always had a vague feeling in his heart. resist.

Liu Chang squinted his eyes, and said with some regret: "If the general is unwilling, then forget it. The Marquis of Huaiyin recommended you to me, saying that you are careful and careful, and it is most suitable to entrust such an important task to you. It seems that it can only be Let others do the job"

Hearing these words, Qin Tong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it recommended by the Marquis of Huaiyin???"

His voice rose higher.

"Yes, but since you don't want to."

"I am willing! I will go now"

Qin Tong remembered something and said, "My daughter is going to get married, can I wait a few days before going back after marriage?"

"of course can!"

With a wave of Liu Chang's hand, he asked again, "Which family is it for?"

"He is the son of Marquis Pingyang."

"Hahaha, then we are still relatives! Yes, yes, Cao Qi, this child, has been smart since childhood and is a human being. If you marry your daughter to him, you don't have to worry about any grievances, but Cao Qi is still young. Xiao, you are married, if you want to hold a grandson, you will have to wait for some time!"

Qin Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile; "With such a good son-in-law, it is natural to get married earlier, or else he will be taken away by others!"

"Unexpectedly, one day, I actually became in-law with Pingyang Yihou."

Qin Tong said with emotion.

This Cao Qi is the grandson of Cao Can, and Cao Qi later had a son named Cao Shou. At the time of Cao Shou, there was a couple of retainers in his mansion. Son, this son is still somewhat famous. In history, he made a little contribution to defeating the Xiongnu. Her son is called Wei Qing.

She also has a grandson, who is also somewhat famous. She has done a lot of things at a young age and gained a certain status. Her grandson is called Huo Qubing.
The entire Han Dynasty, from the beginning to the end, has never lacked famous generals and warriors. Almost every emperor has his own legendary warriors, sometimes even several, who can enter the martial arts temple.

After arranging for Qin Tong to take charge of the field affairs, Chang Liu asked him to go back to prepare for the marriage, but left Chao Cuo behind.

Chao Cuo is really not afraid of offending people.

The matter of piling up fields was proposed by Chao Cuo himself. During the formulation process, Chao Cuo thought that piling up fields would cause the officers in the frontiers to seek personal gain and open up their own private fields, and might even lead to the emergence of huge frontier forces. It was a mistake to set up a special field captain, so that these captains, like the frontier soldiers, have a corresponding term of office. When the term expires, they will be replaced to avoid collusion between the top and bottom, and to avoid the local enlargement.

Chao Cuo said it very directly, and did not save face for the frontier generals at all.

The first performance, Zhou Zao, Song Chang, Wei Shang and other frontier army bosses were all offended.

He really did not leave a way for himself at all, and he was not afraid of causing turmoil in the frontier army.

However, Chang Liu felt that what this fellow said made sense. The guards and soldiers were changed every year. If the generals did not change, it would really cause serious problems. Therefore, according to this fellow, Chang Liu specially set up After the Tuentian Colonel was appointed, the Tuentian General was further established to coordinate the relationship between the local faction and these airborne factions.

"Wrong."

Liu Chang looked at Chao Cuo in front of him complicatedly.

Saying that Chao Cuo is a capable minister, this fellow is always arrogant and rhetorical, and as a result, the actual battle is called to a draw and it is settled in one round. If it is not, this fellow can always come up with a lot of good ways, such as this time. It was Chao Cuo who first thought of the food consumption problem of garrisoning in the field, so he proposed, "Let the soldiers from far away guard the fortress, and they will change every year. They don't know the abilities of the Hu people. Of."

Zhang Cangdu highly praised this policy, believing that this method solved the problem of high food transportation cost in Dahan, and turned the original deficit into profit.

"If the work of planting the fields can be accomplished, it will be considered a great achievement."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This minister is just to relieve the king's worries. If it can be beneficial to Nongsang's affairs, that's enough!"

"Your Majesty wants to create a prosperous world that is unparalleled in the world, and to satisfy the people of the world. Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to assist His Majesty with all his strength!!"

As Chao Cuo said that, he hurriedly took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Chang Liu respectfully.

In these years, Chao Cuo was definitely the most active minister, and Chang Liu still attached great importance to his memorial.

At the beginning, his "On Guisu Sushu" pointed out three points to Liu Chang, that is, allowing the common people to obtain low-level titles by paying millet, so as to break the differences at the bottom and enrich the national treasury, and then it is to exonerate the crimes by the nobles. It is to get a commutation of the sentence by paying corn. For example, if you are sentenced to death, you can pay enough food and you can change it to a palace sentence. Liu Chang pondered for a long time, and finally accepted it.

This method of worshipping grains and eliminating crimes even affects Han law. For example, if you hurt someone, if you are willing to pay compensation and the other party is willing to accept it, then your crime can be relieved. Similarly, if your crime is related to the country , then you can also reduce your punishment by atonement to the temple.

Based on this, Zhang Shizhi came up with the commutation law, which stipulated in detail the provisions of various commutation laws, which supplemented the laws of Qin.

As for the third type, the five grains are expensive and the gold and jade are cheap. Simply put, the temple is to control the price of grain.

Later, he played "Speaking of Military Affairs", advocating to win over the barbarian army, with the Han army as the core, with the barbarian army as the auxiliary, and the barbarians to subdue the barbarians.

Previously, in the face of the food problem of the guards, Chao Cuo played "Guardians and Persuaded Agriculture".

It explained in detail the benefits of this matter, and hoped that Chang Liu could implement it.

This was already the fourth memorial that Chao Cuo had come up with. Chang Liu took the memorial and checked it carefully.

"Your Majesty, the Qin State originally sent soldiers to occupy the border, and then rewarded the soldiers to settle in the area, and they were not allowed to return. These soldiers originally wanted to obtain good farmland through military exploits, but the reward turned into punishment. If you get a barren land, you still can't go home. This is the failure of the Qin country's border guard system. The minister believes that the premise of migrating people to the border is voluntary, not forcing the people to go, and to a certain extent."

"Let the first come be at ease and not think of home!"

"I look at the world today. There are many children in the family, but very little land. After their death, the arable land is left to the eldest son, and Yu Ding has to make a living by himself. There are so many Yu Ding in the world. If we can organize these Yu Ding and recruit Yu Ding They go to the frontiers to cultivate and enrich the population of the frontiers. After a hundred years, these frontiers will be no different from the Central Plains, and if they go to the frontiers and cultivate in chaos, they will not reach the level of comfort.”

"Therefore, in addition to garrisoning the frontiers, the minister thought that the common people who volunteered to go to the fields could also be organized to divide the fields into military and civilian fields. The temples organized the common people to field fields, develop frontier fortresses, and build cities to settle down. It would be better for them to cultivate and reclaim the land themselves. ."

After saying his thoughts, Chao Cuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have completed this memorial under Your Majesty's reminder, but it is not perfect enough to be implemented. Please advise Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, you are a capable minister!"

"However, the luck is that I met Zhen. If I meet a king like Zhao Wang, I can't protect you at all!"

"With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. If you have any ideas, just say it. With me here, no one will dare to touch you!"

"The minister is the king, what is there to fear?!"

ps: There are so many big men and fierce people.
