Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 702 Family Law
Liu Heng and Chao Cuo are the exact opposite.

Compared to Chao Cuo's forceful orders, Liu Heng is better at listening.

Compared with Chao Cuo's people who hate dogs, Liu Heng is deeply popular.

After Chao Cuo served as the doctor of the censor, he quickly caused dissension in the court, and the officials were uproarious. However, after Liu Heng became the doctor of the censor, he quickly made the officials harmonious, and everyone was united. past quarrels.

Liu Heng has a very strong affinity, and he is not as rude as the elder. He makes the officials harmonious and stabilizes the temple. Indeed, few people can match him.

A few days after he took office, the conflicts in the temple were eased, and the ministers met each other, and they were no longer as angry as before.

Liu Heng set an example, treated ministers with courtesy, fully listened to their suggestions, gave correct advice, reminded them of their mistakes, and focused not on punishment but on enlightenment.

In just a few days, Liu Heng won the hearts of the people in the court. From top to bottom, even Lu Jia, who was most opposed to him at the beginning, was unwilling to speak ill of him.

After experiencing such an evil censor like Chao Cuo, this new censor is simply too reliable!

The officials in Yushifu were directly taken back by him. He didn't even reject Chao Cuo's team, and he didn't form another team. It was mainly Chao Cuo and his group, who started a governance style that was completely different from Chao Cuo's. , the officials were surprised to find that these vicious dogs under Chao Cuo's command became so gentle and well-behaved, so polite under Liu Heng's command! !
This is really incredible.

Liu Heng has never put on the posture of a prince. He eats and lives with many officials. He takes the initiative to share government affairs for them, seek benefits for them, and extend their rest time. He will draw big cakes like Liu Chang. He always starts from the details and takes the initiative to do small things for the people around him, so that they are willing to serve him, such as a small overtime pay, such as a few more repairs in Yushifu. This Hun Fan moved the officials of Yushifu very much.

The majestic censor can actually think of their inconveniences and difficulties.

Facing his colleagues, Liu Heng is the same, he won't chat with each other for a long time, it's just some subtle movements, Xia Houying's ears have some problems, so whenever Liu Heng discusses things with him, he will magnify his own The voice, so that he can hear clearly.

Lu Jia was old and had a sore throat and a lot of phlegm. Whenever Lu Jia came to Yushi's Mansion, he would never forget to put a spittoon beside Lu Jia.

Always the first to come to Yushifu, the last to leave.

For the different ideas of the officials, he gave full respect, never got angry, and never reprimanded them for their whimsical ideas. Instead, he discussed with them very seriously, with gentle words and sincere attitude.

This is compared with Chao Cuo. Those who fall into him have met a saint!

Liu Heng's reputation in Wu State is very good, and his reputation in Dahan is also very good, but the ministers don't have an intuitive impression of him, they only think that he is very frugal, but after getting along with him, these ministers I finally understand why Wu people only recognize their king and not the emperor.No wonder Chao Cuo objected so much to this person coming to the temple. Really, it was only a few days since this person came to the temple. If he lived here for a long time, it would be really scary.

Liu Heng's behavior is not like Emperor Gao's lineage at all, he is an absolute alternative.

Chengyang King Liu Zhang's head was about to explode.

My second father just came to Chang'an and got acquainted with the officials. Although he didn't do it deliberately, he has already won the hearts of the people, which made him, the chief embroiderer, very frightened.

Only Liu Chang, on the contrary, is the most open-minded, without the slightest fear. Hearing that Liu Heng has won the hearts of the people within a few days, he raised his head and laughed, happily continuing to enjoy himself in the harem. Today, he finally realized the true meaning of Emperor Xiaoren hapiness! !
But on this day, Liu Heng summoned his ministers again, but not in his mansion.

All the ministers followed him to the destination with fear in their eyes.

Shen Tujia was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we came here without warning, I'm afraid we will offend the Taiwei."

The place Liu Heng chose for the meeting was actually Taiwei's Mansion.

How dare everyone go in, the Taiwei never participates in court meetings on weekdays, and he looks down on them at all, and they dare not contact the Taiwei.

Liu Heng frowned, "Three lords should make decisions about the temple. Now that the left minister is in summer and the right minister is recuperating in the mansion, it is natural to come to discuss with the Taiwei. Besides, even if they are still in the temple, they should also discuss with the Taiwei." This is the duty of the Taiwei!"

Liu An pursed his lips, and whispered in Liu Heng's ear, "Father Zhong, Taiwei doesn't like others to disturb him."

Why the prince is here is a long story.

Since Liu Heng became the Sangong, he has the power to open up the government and enlist officials, but Liu Heng only enlisted one person, the crown prince.

Liu Heng recruited him as a long history, that is, a private secretary.

Before the ministers were surprised, Prince Liu An agreed and went directly to meet him.

As a result, the strongest censor of the big man and his strongest private secretary got mixed up. Liu An followed Liu Heng all day long, listening to his attitude towards the officials, helping him revise the documents, and listening to his opinions. Teaching, just like a close disciple.

Liu Heng said displeasedly to Liu An: "As a Sangong, the Taiwei cannot avoid government affairs, how can he bypass him just because he likes to be clean?!"

Immediately, Liu Heng took the initiative to knock on the door.

When Han Xin saw the room full of courtiers, he was a little shocked. He was dressed in obscene clothes and barefoot, and the courtiers didn't dare to laugh at him, and stood respectfully in the courtyard.

"What are you looking for me for??"

"Taiwei, it's natural to come to discuss state affairs. To discuss state affairs, how can there be no Taiwei?"

Han Xin was taken aback for a moment, could it be that the system is going to be reformed?

Although he was not happy, he changed his clothes and held a meeting in Taiwei's Mansion. This was the first time that Taiwei's Mansion became so lively.

But from the beginning to the end, Liu Heng didn't talk about the official system. Instead, the ministers had been writing letters on various trivial matters. When the court meeting was over, everyone left one after another, leaving only one inexplicable Han Xin.

Han Xin was very angry, Nai Gong slept soundly in the mansion, insisted on waking me up, and then discuss a lot of nonsense? ?Are you kidding me?
Immediately, he left a warning to Liu Heng: If you dare to disturb me again, don't blame me for drawing my sword! !
But on the next day, Liu Heng once again led a mighty team of officials to Taiwei's Mansion.

The Taiwei woke up again from his sleep, sitting on the bed and began to doubt his life.

Of course, the court discussion had begun, the officials were restless, and the Taiwei's face was gloomy. Liu Heng still asked the Taiwei's opinion repeatedly, and encouraged everyone to speak up and listen to Qu Taiwei's opinions.

The Taiwei didn't say a word, just stared at everyone fiercely.

On the third day, the ministers came in mighty force, but Han Xin was already in formal attire, waiting for them ahead of schedule.

The Taiwei began to listen to their speeches, even began to answer Liu Heng's inquiries, and began to make decisions! ! ! !
The Taiwei's mansion suddenly became lively, and the officials came here all day long to discuss major issues and start court discussions. In addition to the court discussions, Liu Heng would sometimes come alone to ask the Taiwei's views on some policies, and the group The minister also followed suit and learned to come to the Taiwei's mansion to ask for advice. Everyone no longer resisted the Taiwei, no longer feared the Taiwei, and regarded the Taiwei as a Taiwei. Han Xin seemed to be important, but he was always far away from power The core non-staff personnel have officially returned to the core layer of the temple and become direct decision makers.

His mansion became clean, and there were more and more carriages parked at the door.

The officials sat in front of him and reported political affairs. Han Xin listened carefully, sometimes reprimanding them for their mistakes, and sometimes rewarding them.

The Taiwei actually started rewarding the ministers! ! !

The ministers only felt that it was like a dream.

Afterwards, the Taiwei no longer stayed in his mansion all the time, participated in more and more court meetings, and no longer seemed to be indifferent to the officials.

Liu An was stunned.

While Father Zhong was reviewing the memorandum, he finally couldn't help asking: "Father Zhong. The Taiwei has not participated in government affairs for 20 years. How do you do it? How do you know he will accept it?"

Liu Heng gently stroked his beard, "The Taiwei has an ancient virtuous style, and the officials are frightened by him, which is actually a different kind of resistance. The Taiwei felt this, so naturally he was unwilling to contact them, but when the officials When you start to show your trust in him and try to rely on him, the Taiwei will no longer be cold-faced. The Taiwei needs to be respected and valued, whether it comes from above or from below, and Taiwei is strong and strong. Everything in the temple will be much easier with his help."

Liu An shook his head, "As expected of Father Zhong, I have learned a lot following you these days."

"An, governing the country does not rely on knowledge, it depends on people. As a king, you must lead by example, first think of others, and treat others with sincerity. If you think too much, you will inevitably fall into the inferior position. If you want to accept others The heart, you have to pay it first and the sincerity. These things should have been taught by your father, but you can't learn this person, my father. If you learn something nondescript, you will easily become like Jie Zhou king of

Liu An was no longer as restrained as before, and said with a smile: "Father Zhong actually said that my father is the king of Jie and Zhou, I will definitely tell him someday!"

"Huh, I said the same in front of him. I hide in the Jiaofang Hall all day long to enjoy myself, and I don't deal with government affairs. All important matters are left to the officials. How can there be such an emperor in the world? The extravagance of the whole big man, They were all brought out by your father!"

"He has prepared more than 80 carriages alone. What does he need so many carriages for?!"

Liu Heng was very angry when he said that, Liu An cleared his throat, "Father Zhong doesn't know, my father has his own theory of eating meat, and he often says that how much meat you eat, how many things you do."

"How much you do and how much meat you eat, that's what you should do, but what kind of meat you eat should be considered, and there should be a limit to enjoyment, how can extravagance hurt the people?!"

"Father Zhong is right!"

Liu An's attire is also very plain at the moment. My Zhongfu is very concerned about this. Since he became the censor, the ministers of the court and the central government have not dared to dress too well. The carriage was almost replaced by a donkey cart. Even my father, He had restrained himself a lot, he didn't dare to eat meat openly, Zhongfu begged him in private to give him all the finery he usually wears to honorable officials and soldiers, Father was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep at night.

The role of Liu Heng is not only to make the officials harmonious, but also to stimulate the fighting spirit of the officials.

According to Taiwei's words, he is like a good general in the temple, who can inspire the morale of the whole army and take the lead.

Liu Heng worked so hard that no one else dared not to work hard.

Even that Prime Minister Zhang came forward to help Liu Heng several times during his vacation. It was because of uneasy conscience that the princes and kings took the lead and started desperately. Do the officials still dare to neglect?
Changle Palace, Shou Palace.

Sitting in front of Empress Lu, Liu Chang shook his head.

"It's gone, it's gone. I only kept six of my fine clothes and only four carriages left. All the good things in my collection have been rewarded."

"My clothes have been worn for four days straight!"

Liu Chang pointed to the red Chu suit on his body.

"He wakes me up every morning and tells me about the achievements of the previous day and the things to do this day. I am not allowed to yawn."

"I'm still not the worst. The worst is my two teachers. They always say Zhang Xiang's credit to everyone they see, and they never forget to praise Zhang Xiang. When they see him, they pay homage to him, so that he can feel at ease. Rehabilitation. With his posture, how dare my teacher hide at home and have fun? He has made his conscience uneasy, and he has been debating whether to go out to do errands all day long. Up to now, three things have been done. As for the Taiwei, It would be even worse, being fooled by him, completely dizzy, going to bed early and getting up early every day, participating in government affairs, not a single day of rest."

"An, the vertical child, was also taken by him. It is said that every day the performance watch has to go through his hands, and he has not returned home for two days."

Liu Chang looked at Empress Lu and said seriously: "Mum, I just realized the happiness of my second elder brother, and he lost it to me again. Now I start to miss Chao Cuo again."

Empress Lu sneered, "Do you think I'm old-fashioned?"

"Ah? Mom, what does this mean?"

"Why, you are afraid that I will be disadvantageous to your fourth brother, so you come to me specifically to complain? It seems to be a reprimand, but every sentence is to excuse him? Do you think I will fear him and want to kill him?"

Liu Chang's face suddenly panicked, "How is it possible? My mother is the most benevolent person in the big man, how could she do such a thing as murder?"

The old lady still sneered, "Don't worry, although I'm old, I'm not so confused. You don't need to put on a show in front of me. Heng is also considered smart. After coming to Chang'an, he never interfered in any military affairs. It's also guarding against me. However, I don't care about these things. I'm getting old, and my confidants in the court have also resigned from their official positions in old age. It's not as good as you, a grown-up emperor."

"Hahaha, mom, don't be so sarcasm, I know I can't hide it from you, am I afraid that someone will talk nonsense in front of you, which will affect the harmony of the family?"

"A few days ago, Liu Liang came to me crying and said that you were going to demote Liu Ci. Is there such a thing?"

Empress Lu asked.

Liu Chang shook his head hastily, "There is no such thing, it is An. An felt that giving this scorpion needed sharpening, so he planned to let him go to Longxi for half a year to serve in corvee. Dong Zhongshu and Xia Houci would also go together. , crying these days, I haven't seen him."

Empress Lu nodded, "Dong Zhongshu grew up with Ci since he was a child, but Xia Houci is Xia Houying's grandson. Would his family not be willing to let him go to labor?"

"How can there be any reluctance? General Xiahouying was so happy that he sent someone to send Xiahouci to the Prince's Mansion that day."

"Well, it's a good thing to let this scorpion suffer."

"Send more people, don't expect anything to happen."

"Don't worry, mother, there will be someone watching, and he won't be in any danger."

Empress Lu frowned suddenly, "Most of the clan's children today are unusable and stubborn since childhood, it's really inappropriate!!"

"Set up a set of family laws, let them learn from childhood, riding and archery, classics, calligraphy, governing the country, and swordsmanship, let them learn all day long, set up the strictest assessment, and go to the corvee service when they reach adulthood , at least twice, after this, you can go out as an adult! From the emperor to the princes and kings, everyone should be like this!!"

When Liu Chang heard this, he hurriedly clapped his hands, "Aunt is right! That's how it should be. I studied hard at the beginning, and I don't know how much I suffered. Nowadays, these scumbags are getting worse and worse, and they are doing more and more evil things." Duo, I want to sharpen them all, and I will issue an order to establish a family law!"

Empress Lu murmured: "It should have been like this at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have raised a scorpion like you!"

In the end, Liu Ci still failed to escape his own destiny. Whether it was Cao Shu, Liu Chang, or Empress Lu, they all agreed with Liu An's order.

But Dong Zhongshu and Xia Houci were more unlucky. They didn't do anything, and they had to go to serve corvee because of Liu Ci.

They are all currently in the prince's mansion, and their eyes are full of sadness.

When Liu An returned home, seeing the desperate faces of the three of them, he smiled and went straight into the inner room.

Before Liu Ang and Liu Qi left, Liu An called them over, asked them to help with something, and sent the three Shuzi to Longxi on the way.

Both of them agreed, and Liu Ang pondered for a moment, "I remember that it was very hard when we served in the military, but when I think about it now, I don't think it was that hard. It's a pity that I only have a daughter now, and I don't have a son, otherwise I have to send Go to the local corvée, by the way, Qi, don’t you have a son? Let your son follow them to serve corvée too?”

Liu Qi's eyes widened, "Are you still a human being? My son Rongcai was born at the same age. Let him serve in corvee?"

Liu An laughed, "Oh, give birth to a son as soon as possible, and then we will send these three Shuzi over there to let them go with them."

"Hey, let's not mention the future, just say that now, my father has become a royal doctor, which is going to be a bad thing. I will write many letters in the future, and he will be the first to read it. How is this going to be? Well, Ann, do you know when he plans to go back?"

"I don't know, anyway, depending on what he means, it will take three to five years at the shortest, right?"

But Liu Ang was very happy, "It's better for Father Zhong to be a royal censor than to be Chao Cuo!"

"I heard that Sanzhong's father was overjoyed when he heard about this, and wrote a letter to the temple, asking himself to be a captain!"
