Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 635 Immediate Emperor
Liu Chang grinned foolishly, and Lu Lu laughed too.

Compared to flower arrangements on their heads, flower arrangement by a certain cold-faced captain is the most fun.

Once again, Lu Lu couldn't hold back his smile.

Even if he was severely beaten by the Taiwei because of this, it would be worth it, this is even rarer than His Majesty's flower arrangement! !

Inside the Hall of Houde, the trio of big men and flower arrangements are lowering their heads, allowing the little girl to decorate them.

Even Han Xin chose to tolerate the little princess's behavior.

Until the little princess was tired and said goodbye to them warmly, and left Houde Hall, Han Xin was not in a hurry to pick the flowers off. He looked at Liu Chang seriously.

"It's just that things are different from what I expected. The Peacock Kingdom was defeated like a mountain. Instead, Baicheng drove straight in."

Liu Chang was a little surprised, "Are there any fighters that Master didn't expect?"

Han Xin's face darkened.

This is probably the first time Han Xin made a mistake in his prediction. How could Han Xin think that 10,000+ troops are well-equipped, well-trained, and have a clear division of labor, and a multi-type army will be beaten like this by tens of thousands of farmers temporarily recruited. .

Even if Xiahou Zao came to command these 10 people, he would be able to easily wipe out his opponents.

Originally, Han Xin thought that he could see the advanced art of war and increase his experience. This time he saw it.

Just these people, if they were placed in the past Seven Kingdoms War, Yan Guo could chase them and beat them, which is too bad.

The main reason is that today's military art mostly relies on brave generals. This system probably came from Ashoka. I have already actively accepted the reliability of this tactic, and determined the general's own way of fighting. It's a pity, Ashoka, who can kill a lion like a ruthless man, is not common. In the case of Shendu, it is probably Xiang Yu After winning the world, the whole world began to think that only Xiang Yu's style of play was the best, and they all began to follow suit.

The defeat of the Peacock Kingdom directly disrupted all of Han Xin's plans.

This made the Taiwei extremely angry, wishing he could lead the troops to beat up these two stupid countries right now.

Han Xin said angrily: "My original plan was to support the peacock on the surface, but in fact I was biased towards Baicheng, so that the forces of the two sides could reach a balance. No one can do anything to prolong their fighting time and consume their national strength. , Weaken the peacock's control, so that the big man can get more benefits. Now is good. The peacock king has suffered such a defeat, and Baicheng has become a strong one. They are now united, and the morale soaring is the peacock. It's as low as it is, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand Baicheng's attack."

"We support the peacock on the bright side. Now, if the majesty of the big man sweeps the floor and the peacock is disabled, he can no longer control the business. The province is separated again, and the big man wants to establish a stable trade relationship with the poison again. I have to send the army again. I want to weaken the peacock, but I never thought about destroying the peacock!!"

"Those small countries that are poisoned are now ready to move. This gave them great confidence. They even compared the big man to a peacock, and started not to take the big man's emissary seriously."

Han Xin's face was gloomy, and with that hairstyle and flowers, he looked extraordinarily weird.

"I asked Feng Jing to send a message to Baicheng, telling them to stop attacking, but with Baicheng's current advantage, they are afraid that they will not obey King Baicheng, who still respects His Majesty, so they can take advantage of it."

Lu Lu felt a little headache when he heard it.

He is indeed not a material for thinking about such things, nor is it a material for academic studies. Nor is it just a material for politics. Whenever Lu Lu thinks of this, he feels a little sad, and wipes his tears with the precious silk.

Liu Chang reacted quickly.

"Baicheng, taking advantage of his victorious posture, will definitely chase after the peacock. We must attack. Give a good warning to the poisonous countries. Speaking of it, the main problem now is that the poisonous people don't know the true strength of the big man. They didn't suffer. If you beat them a few times, they will know what to do."

Han Xin glanced at Liu Chang, and it seemed that his energy was not in vain, and this Zhuzi could still make some sense.

But Liu Chang went on to say: "In my opinion, if you want to subdue body poison, you have to defeat them in their way. Aren't they playing Ashoka? Master!!"

Liu Chang patted his chest, "Let me go!"

"I'm stronger than King Ashoka. He can kill a lion with his bare hands, but I can also fight a tiger with my bare hands! If you don't believe me, I'll give it to you in Shanglinyuan tomorrow."

"To shut up!"

Han Xin reprimanded Liu Chang unceremoniously, interrupting Liu Chang's boasting.

"I'm still alive, and Zhou Yafu and the others are not dead. It's not the king's turn to go out in person!"

These words sound a little weird.

But the truth is this, there are so many strong generals under his command, but the monarch wants to go out in person, this is unreasonable, if the generals know the emperor's thoughts, they will also write a letter to resign, or simply commit suicide. Let them feel that they are not valued, or that they have not done their duty, and they need the emperor to go out.

Looking at the resolute Taiwei, Liu Chang said helplessly: "Master, Zhou Yafu and the others have been poisoned several times, but I have never been there once."

"I go is the most suitable style of play they advocate, and I am the best at it. Besides, they regard me as a god. I go this time, which is to show the power of the gods. I will definitely be obedient when I get poisoned later. Because they have seen the real gods, I want to show them a few unique skills so that they will not dare to resist in this life. Besides, I went to many small countries that can completely recover the poison, and let them all come to pay tribute .I can formulate more favorable policies. If I want to deal with them, I have to understand them, right?"

"I'll be fine. I'll take the best cavalry with me."

"Come and go like the wind, they can't even stop the cavalry of the Huns, what can they use to stop me??"

"If you really don't believe it, you can ask Zhou Yafu and Lu Tazhi to follow me. You can rest assured that they accompany you?"

Liu Chang chattered endlessly, but Han Xin did not waver in the slightest.

Perhaps, in Han Xin's eyes, there was no need to think so much about dealing with such an enemy. Any general could teach them how to behave.

"Long. You have always had a saying since you were a child. I don't know if you are aware of it?"

"What do you say?"

"As soon as you leave Chang'an, accidents will happen in Chang'an. It's like this every time. It's never been smooth. The best times are a few two thousand stones that died."

"The last time you went to Longxi, what happened? Do you remember?"

"The previous few times out, which one did not have an accident??"

After a few words, Han Xin immediately blocked Liu Chang's mouth.

Lu Lu lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Liu Chang also pondered.

He thought for a moment, and then said: "The last time I was in Longxi, it was an accident. I have the destiny to be blessed by misfortune, and I am not worried. Besides, when I went out in the past, there was no grown-up prince Liu An in China. This time, I started to be despised by the officials and even began to deny myself. I helped him regain his confidence. He needs such an opportunity. I am not in the country, and the power falls in his hands. He is a temporary The king needs such tempering, whether it is to enhance his prestige or enhance his ability. This is beneficial."

"I think the temple is completely stable now. With Liu An in charge, you and my other teacher as assistants, Zhang Buyi, Luan Bu, and Chao Cuo are all my people. The situation has changed. Nothing will go wrong."

Han Xin smiled disdainfully.

"What about your mother?"

"You don't care at all at her age?"

This time, Han Xin seemed to hit Liu Chang's lifeblood. Liu Chang was momentarily at a loss for words, lowered his head, and could no longer speak.

Han Xin stood up, "I'll deal with this matter myself, let Zhang Cang prepare food and grass, Zhou Yafu probably has to lead the cavalry to go to the poison."

Liu Chang sighed, nodded, and said nothing.

Inside the Hall of Houde, there is lush greenery, and the spring has already taken over the entire palace.

Liu Chang stood on the edge of a pond, looking at the scenery in the distance, these green vines seemed to have a kind of magical power, tightly wrapped around Liu Chang's body, even with Liu Chang's strength, he couldn't get rid of them.

Liu Chang stared at the reflection in the pond, and suddenly threw the stone in his hand. The stone hit the pond water, and the water splashed.

Liu Chang didn't like this feeling very much.

"His Majesty."

Lu Lu stepped forward with some worry, his brows were furrowed.

Maybe he doesn't have much talent, maybe he can't understand many things, but he is very clear about His Majesty's feelings at the moment. His Majesty has been a tiger since he was a child, eager to make contributions and run amok everywhere. Lu Lu still remembers that when the king gathered a group of sages , Tell them about his grand desire, the king's ambition was simpler than anyone else at that time, he just wanted to go to Maodun.

However, although those pictures were still clear back then, His Majesty could no longer realize his grand blueprints.

"Zhou Yafu went to war, with the Taiwei in the rear, this battle will definitely be a complete victory. All those people will definitely come to pay tribute. I don't know how much food and food can be sent. When the time comes, His Majesty can use these to do more things. We Many, many county schools can be opened, so that medical centers can be opened in various places.”

Lu Lu started talking non-stop, looking at His Majesty with a calm face, he stepped up his strength, "I heard that Zhou Yafu is going to bring Xiahou Zao. I really don't know where Zhou Yafu's confidence comes from. If Xiahou Zao leads him the way, how can it be?" Don’t you want to bring the army to the mules and horses that His Majesty often talks about? No matter how bad it is, you have to go to Wa Island to watch monkeys with Mrs. Fan, right?”

Lu Lu tried very hard to adjust His Majesty's mood and make him happy.

And Liu Chang realized his behavior, and then he laughed.

"Hahaha, yes, if Xia Houzao leads the way, who knows where they will be taken."

Lu Lu didn't follow suit, he was still serious.

"Your Majesty, I have been with you for more than ten years."

"so what?"

"I can know whether His Majesty is pretending or really happy."

Liu Chang was silent for a while, patted Lu Lu on the shoulder, turned and walked towards Houde Hall.

Zhang Cang quickly completed the improvement of the new etiquette law. Immediately afterwards, the Han Dynasty determined the new etiquette law through the court meeting. The fifty new etiquette laws completely stabilized Han Ying's position among the Confucian scholars, even though the Confucian school of today has already stood. Unable to keep up, they were even pursued by Legalists and became No.3. But with the new gift, they abandoned some parts that Liu Chang didn't like in the past, and gradually burst out their new vitality. Liu Chang felt that One day, they will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Huang Lao, but if they want to surpass Huang Lao, it may be a bit difficult.

Probably because the etiquette involved cultural problems, Liu An also appeared in the court discussion.

When Han Ying got up to accept the reward, Liu An's eyes were a little strange, and he didn't say anything.

He didn't expect Han Ying to recover so quickly, and even really learned his own essence, and began to improve his own ideas.

Liu An was still not angry, and didn't even care.

What Han Ying was thinking, he had already thought about it a long time ago, but he didn't complete the trade-offs, and he was not in a hurry to write. You can't be in a hurry to learn. The more you are in a hurry, the more tragic the failure will be.

It seems that there is still time to teach him the truth about not being in a hurry.

Liu An smiled, as Liu Chang said, this guy has completely regained his confidence, he is no longer afraid of his own failure, even a character like Han Ying, in Liu An's eyes, can be easily defeated defeated.

Perhaps because he noticed the prince's gaze, Han Ying smiled and nodded towards the prince when he returned to his place.

While they were holding the court meeting, Liu Ci and Dong Zhongshu were standing far away from the Xuanshi Hall, looking at the Xuanshi Hall and sighing.

It was mainly Dong Zhongshu who was sighing, but Liu Ci didn't care.

"Stop sighing all the time. You are younger than them. It's normal if you can't beat them. Everyone can be your teacher to teach you. If you want to beat them, it's not easy."

"It's a pity, this was the best opportunity for Ram Spring and Autumn."

Dong Zhongshu didn't excuse himself because he was still young, his gaze was very firm, "Sooner or later, I will defeat all of them."

"Others are easy to talk about, but my elder brother, you are afraid that you will not be able to defeat him. You are not an ordinary scholar. If one day my father goes to see the elder father, then he is the emperor. Are you going to argue with the emperor?? You know I don't know where those people who debated with my father went?"

"Where did you go?"

"Whoever loses goes to corvée, and whoever wins goes to see Taiyi"

Dong Zhongshu said seriously: "His Royal Highness is not unreasonable. If he is moved by my knowledge, he will definitely accept it."

"You mean my father is unreasonable?"

Dong Zhongshu shuddered, "I never said that. Your Majesty is the Kaiyuan Saint."

Liu Ci was particularly proud, "Just tell me, are you going to meet Taiyi or recognize me as your sister-in-law?"

In Houde Hall, after the court meeting ended, Liu Chang led Han Ying, Zhang Buyi, Zhang Cang and other ministers here.

Several people sat beside Liu Chang, and the etiquette was perfected again. In the eyes of the officials, this was a very important thing, almost equivalent to confirming the orthodoxy again.

For some reason, Lu Lu is not here.

Zhang Buyi raised his head with a smile, "Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is wise!!!"

"Now that the new rites are established, the world will definitely admire the kindness of your majesty, abide by the laws drawn up by your majesty, and follow the etiquette and laws advocated by your majesty, so that the country will be peaceful and the people will be peaceful, and the great Han will rule forever. Your majesty's merits and virtues are incomparable to those of Yao and Shun."

Zhang Buyi looked aside in bewilderment, Han Ying was chattering about his admiration for the emperor at the moment.

These days, why did even the favorites start to roll up?

There was a kid named Dong Zhongshu before, that guy was young, so I didn't care about it, but what do you mean?To actually praise my majesty in front of my face? ?
Zhang Buyi didn't hate others to praise His Majesty, he felt that His Majesty deserved everyone's praise.

But, Zhang Buyi couldn't accept that he was preempted when he first spoke. Even if he wanted to praise him, he had to wait until he finished boasting!

Naigong has been boasting since the king was young, so what are you? !
Han Ying didn't notice Zhang Buyi's angry gaze at all, and continued to tell his admiration for His Majesty.

Zhang Cang lowered his head and sighed inwardly.

This temple is going to be destroyed sooner or later. There are no doubts that there are more and more direct ministers, but there are fewer and fewer direct ministers. In a few years, I am afraid that the court will become a group of ministers touting your majesty's merits.
Liu Chang enjoyed it very much, and praised Han Ying with a smile.

"Since the law of etiquette has been established, there must be no mistakes. Especially Taixue. You must eliminate the old rotten things as soon as possible and let Confucian scholars start to cultivate new rituals!"

Liu Chang seriously told everyone about his future goals.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked into Houde Hall.

Seeing the person coming, everyone was surprised and got up immediately, including Liu Chang.

Because the person here is the only empress dowager certified by Dahan.

Empress Lu's complexion didn't look very good. Liu Chang learned to read his mother's mood by virtue of his experience of being beaten since he was a child, and he could tell at a glance whether her mood was good or bad.

Although the officials hadn't seen the queen mother for a long time, when the aged queen mother appeared again, they were still trembling in their hearts.

The shadow of the Queen Mother made them unforgettable forever.

Liu Chang hurriedly asked the officials to leave first, but he put on a flattering smile and stepped forward to help the Queen Mother to sit down.

"You bastard!!"

"I heard that you want to lead the army to go to war?!!"

As soon as Empress Lu spoke, Liu Chang smiled wryly.

"Lu, this bastard, I haven't forgotten to file a complaint with you until now. I must have copied his home."

There were only three people at that time, and it was impossible for the Taiwei to tell the Queen Mother that it was only Lu Lu who leaked this matter.

"Mother. I thought so, but the Taiwei said that I would be prone to accidents as soon as I left Chang'an, so I gave up this idea and didn't go. Let Zhou Yafu go there instead of me."

"My mother once told me that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, but I have never forgotten it."

Listening to Liu Chang's words, Empress Lu's expression did not soften.

"Aren't you telling the truth?! The Taiwei mentioned me, so you gave up on this idea, right?!"

Liu Chang gritted his teeth again, "Copy his house, punish him. Ahem, mother, I won't go, I won't go, don't worry."

Empress Lu stared straight at Liu Chang's face, "Why did I ever tell you not to go?"

"what??"

"My Son of Heaven, all of you are brave and good at fighting. When your father was old, he went out on his own three times to attack Modun, Chen Xi, and Yingbu. Could it be that when your father was fighting, there was no one beside him like Zhou Yafu? General?!"

"what do you mean"

Empress Lu was furious, and scolded: "Zhuzi! Do you really think I'm a weak old woman?! I have many heirs to accompany me, so what if you have one more? What's the point of staying by my side? Why don't you go out and cut off the enemy's sword?" The leader came to offer a gift for me?!"

"The emperor of the big man, how can he not go to war?!"

"How dare you despise me like this?!"
