Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 749 What's the situation?
"His Majesty!!"

"We know we were wrong!!"

"Please punish us!!"

At the moment, more than a dozen rams headed kneel in front of Liu Chang, all lowered their heads, and Gongsun Hong is also among them, their faces are full of horror, and their whole bodies are trembling.

It seemed they were terrified.

Liu Chang was a little suspicious, what did Shen Pei do to them?How did this group of fearless rams become like this?

Among the many schools of thought, the most troublesome one is the ram. On the one hand, Liu Chang likes them quite a bit. These people dare to fight hard, and each of them is a firm pioneer. It is the unification of force, and they think they have a sense of mission to their surroundings, and advocate to educate the world. The SLR is an emperor who likes to expand the territory, and there is no one who does not like their school. The attitude of ordinary Confucian scholars towards the Hu people around them is peace. Gui, if you want to talk about etiquette, the attitude of the ram is that the big man must teach them etiquette.
In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set off wars abroad many times, which made the domestic people resentful. When many scholars wrote letters to persuade them, only the scholars of Gongyang agreed to declare war. It is a great cause to spread the principles of saints to the whole world, but on the other hand, these people are too radical, sometimes even Dong Zhongshu can't suppress these people, these people are getting more and more radical, and even stepping on the emperor's footsteps step by step In the end, they finally felt that the emperor was not wise enough, that the emperor was too backward and had no enterprising spirit, so they collectively thought about it and made a trivial matter.

They abolished the emperor and recommended a new co-lord of the world, hoping to carry out the virtuous king of the world. This person was later Wang Mang.

Many people think that Wang Mang is a man who knows how to hide his ambitions, is extremely cunning, publicizes his reputation, and creates a good image, and compares him with Sima Zhaolai. In fact, this is wrong. Wang Mang is really a Confucianist The great sages are not pretending, but the usurping of the Han is really because of their proposition, to carry out the virtuous king of the world, to repair the situation of the collapse of rites, and to let the world return to the benevolence and righteousness of Yao, Shun and Yu in the past. A lot of retro reforms began. The dead Han was not Wang Mang, but a real ram.

Liu Chang's attitude towards them is also very entangled, whether it is easy to use is easy to use, but he is not very obedient.

Seeing them so scared at this moment, Liu Chang was a little surprised.

Gong Sunhong led the crowd and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, we have believed in the prophecies of the people and wrote a letter rashly. It is really disrespectful to Your Majesty. Please punish us. We will never dare to do this again. gone."

Liu Chang stroked his chin lightly, "You guys have changed a bit quickly. Could it be that Gong Yangshou or Hu Wusheng wrote letters?"

"They haven't replied yet, and we sincerely confess our guilt."

"Since you are aware of your mistakes, I am magnanimous, and I will not embarrass you."

"Your Majesty, please let us go to Xia, to Xiting! We are willing to be exiled!!"

A Confucian scholar said loudly.

"Fart! Is this a punishment for you guys? This is a reward!!"

Liu Chang couldn't help scolding, if you want to throw people from other schools outside the Great Wall, they will definitely be very panicked and unwilling. But Gongyang is not a normal school, they dream of going to the outside of the Great Wall to teach the barbarians For military merit or something, returning to the outside of the Great Wall is a return home for them, and they have the opportunity to make contributions and educate the world. Every year, a large number of Confucian scholars in Gongyang write a letter requesting to go to the outside of the Great Wall to serve as officials. Take the sword and go to Hexi, Xia Guo went to war
There are not many rams in Chang'an, because everyone has gone to the frontier to fight against the enemy.

But when they heard the emperor's abuse, they breathed a sigh of relief, and a few young people were even a little proud. Our ram is so mighty!

"You took the lead in ruining the ethos of Taixue, how about this, I will punish you to clean up Taixue, and give me a full year of sweeping!!"

Everyone hurriedly thanked them.

Liu Chang left Gong Sunhong behind and told the rest to leave.

Liu Chang beckoned, and Gong Sunhong hurriedly sat beside Liu Chang.

"What's the situation? Why are they so scared?"

"It was the prince who opened his mouth and threatened to destroy the Gongyang faction after he ascended the throne."

"what???"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, "This doesn't sound like something my prince can say, why does it sound like what King Xia said?"

Gong Sunhong didn't dare to hide anything, so he hastily repeated the prince's words, and finally said: "I brought these words to my colleagues and told them that if I continue to do things that anger the prince, the ram will not survive when the prince ascends the throne. They are The sinners who destroyed the ram are not afraid of death, but they are all afraid of the destruction of the school. Although His Royal Highness is benevolent, those people under his command are really not cough cough. They were all frightened and hurriedly asked to follow I have come to ask His Majesty to apologize."

"Huh? Is it that easy?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Shen Peigong found them and told them that they had hidden the unicorns. They were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. After hearing what the prince said, they naturally didn't dare to have other ideas. In fact, for many schools, His Majesty is better than His Majesty. Even more terrifying."

"Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty can kill people, but His Highness can destroy factions. Your Highness is very familiar with each faction, and his knowledge is extremely high. If you want to destroy the theory of rams."

"Presumptuous! Are you saying that I am not as knowledgeable as Liu An?!"

Liu Chang was furious, and Gong Sunhong hurriedly saluted, "That's not the case. Your Majesty's knowledge is for governing the country. These articles are just small ways, and your Majesty doesn't bother to do them."

Liu Chang was quite satisfied with this rhetoric, he nodded, and then scolded: "Okay, get out! After a while, the leader of your Gongyang School will be back, when the time comes, watch him and let him Don't make trouble, or your school will be destroyed!"

"The leader?? What His Majesty said"

"Ci, his corvee period is up, and he has to come back to study hard in the military."

Gongsun Hong turned pale with shock, "Is it over so soon?"

"It's been a year. Why, do you have a problem with my son?"

"I don't dare. I just feel that the time has passed too fast, and I vaguely remember that King Xia went to serve as if it was yesterday."

With a wave of Liu Dachang's hand, Gong Sunhong was told to leave here and walk out of the Hall of Houde. Gong Sunhong sighed helplessly, the uncle is coming back, this is really terrible.

The teacher is not in Chang'an, and he is the one with the highest seniority in the school. Now there are many Gongyang people, all of whom are idiots clamoring to educate the barbarians. I dare not imagine what will happen if these people meet the uncle Things, you won't lead the Gongyang School to fight in Xia Guo overnight, right? ?Now that the Rams have caused such a big event, what should they do?

At that moment, Gongsun Hong felt a little hopeless in his heart, he seemed to be able to see the frenzied situation where his uncle and his classmates drew their swords and shouted to kill Hu
At this moment, Liu Chang returned to the Jiaofang Hall again.

Cao Shu is quite happy recently. Cao Shu is doing a very meaningful thing. When she went out for a walk with Liu Chang, she noticed a situation. She went to many hidden palaces.The hidden palaces of the Han Dynasty are different from those of the Qin State. Most of the hidden palaces in the Qin State are those "released after serving their sentences". The palace, this palace does not refer to the castration, but the value of the house. The hidden house has gradually abolished corporal punishment, and there are not so many people who are tortured and have no face.

The hidden palace of the Han Dynasty is a kind of welfare institution, the main purpose is to house those who are physically disabled and unable to work.

When the Great Han was first established, due to the war, there were many people with disabilities. Xiao He started to build a welfare system for the Great Han. This is completely different from the Qin State. Qin State is a Spartan country. The useless ones were directly abandoned, and the Dahan also brought some warmth. The Dahan also set up a special institution to raise orphans who lost their families and the elderly without children. The name is similar to that of Qin, but in fact they are two completely different institutions.

Cao Shu noticed the extremely harsh environment of the hidden palaces in various places. The officials didn't care much about it. In these resettlement places, people often died of starvation and freezing, and no one came to investigate.

Therefore, after the queen returned to the palace, she told the queen mother about the matter. The two wives conspired and called Lu Jia to ask him to set up special laws to settle these special people who needed the care of the state.

The improvement of the welfare system is probably an important symbol of the development of Dahan.

Cao Shu even went to many hidden palaces in Chang'an in person to see the conditions of the people there, which also brought some pressure on the officials.

This matter is not a big deal. Those who are handicapped, old and childless, and who have lost their labor force are not valued by the temple, and they have no effect on the community.

But Cao Shu attaches great importance to these things, thinking that they are indispensable for benevolent government.

Liu Chang also agreed with her very much, and the officials did not dare to refuse it. In a big man who is based on morality, if you dare to say that you follow the example of Qin, abandon those with disabilities, and treat them poorly, then your reputation will be ruined. This kind of moral concept of a big man is still very advanced in a sense. At least in this concept, if a big man wants to do bad things, he has to find a reason for himself. Those who dare to act unscrupulously care about their own reputation.

Unlike the scholar-bureaucrats and family elites in Nandu in the future, they did not hide their evil deeds at all. They openly took their servants out to plunder for fun, and took pleasure in killing and abusing the people under their rule. To be unrestrained, not to care about fame, to be proud of it, is simply insane! !

"How is it, is the situation better?"

"It's much better. When I went to visit this time, they all wore new clothes and the food was pretty good, including meat."

Liu Chang sneered, "This is just for you to see. The temple has not distributed supplies, and they all put on new clothes? This is what the officials did to please you."

Cao Shu said seriously: "Even if you want to please them, it will always make them feel better."

"That's the reason, otherwise I won't let you go. You can visit often in the future, and the officials will not dare to relax. However, this big man is too big, and it is not enough to go to see it by yourself. The key is the system. Well, speaking of it, you are sharper than me. I didn't notice this problem, but you discovered it. The big man builds the country with morality. Although the people who build the country have no morals, under my governance, the big man is becoming more and more moral. Well, your idea is similar to what I saw in my dream, the country supports those who can’t work, tsk, even my mother praised you as a wise queen.”

Cao Shu shook her head hastily, "When my mother first started to rule the big man, she ordered many times to resettle the orphans and widows in various places and asked the local officials to reward them with food and clothing every month. In terms of wisdom, I am far inferior to my mother."

Liu Chang said triumphantly: "That's natural, after all, she is my mother, so where can I go?"

The two talked about the situation in various places, and then got back to the topic.

"Look, this gift will come back soon. After he comes back, let him go to military school. After studying hard for a few years, he will be able to go to the country. I don't worry about Bo's side. The two brothers can still communicate with each other." Take care, that's Liang here. This Zhuzi is kind by nature, he doesn't like to talk, I don't know how to arrange him. He is in the current situation, even if he goes to corvee, he can't stand it. His body is weak, and the knowledge in Taixue It feels like there aren’t many that suit him.”

"What does the queen think?"

Cao Shu said calmly: "I think, he has brothers to help him, and now that power is divided, he just can't do any big business, so it's enough to be safe."

Liu Chang thought for a while, and nodded for the same reason.

"An'an has grown up, and I don't worry about him anymore. In the future, I may have to stare at An'an and Shendu, and stabilize the situation of Shendu earlier. These scorpions also need to be sooner. Grow up, help Ann a little bit"

"By the way, does that Shuzi Bo have any letters? When will he come back to the country?"

"There is a letter, which was sent just yesterday, saying that it is visiting those famous people in Qi State and learning the truth from them."

Fu Ze is the eldest son of Fu Sheng, who inherited his father's "Shangshu" and became a famous Confucian scholar in the local area.

It has been four or five years since Fu Sheng passed away. At the beginning, he passed the Shangshu to Jia Yi. Jia Yi respected him very much and often wrote letters to inquire about his situation and tell him about his studies. It's also very good, and there is no disconnection.Fu Ze once taught students in Taixue, but because of poor eloquence and stammered a bit, he gave up teaching at Taixue and returned to his hometown. He sorted out the classics left by his father and opened a small private school to cultivate Some local young people sponsored them to go to Taixue.

He was living a good life, until this day, a group of strong men came to the door.

The leader is Lu Zhong, regardless of whether he is Lu Zhong or not, this person's knowledge is really good, Fu Ze feels that even among the disciples he taught, there are very few people who can compare with him.

But, the other person he brought was here to mess things up.

This young man named Han Anguo is using a very humble attitude to insult him, a 58-year-old Confucian scholar.

"Please explain to me, I know I'm not talented and stupid, but I'm easy to learn. I won't waste your time too long, as long as you explain to me a little bit"

Han Anguo sat beside him respectfully, waiting for Fu Ze's answer.

Fu Ze's face was flushed, and he was already stuttering, but now he was even more serious because of nervousness, "You, you, you, you"

"Please sir, explain to me!"

"I, I, I, I"

Fu Ze was speechless, so he took out the paper and ink from the side, wrote a line on the paper, and threw it to Han Anguo.

Han Anguo hurriedly looked at it, but there were four large characters written on it, "I don't know!"

Han Anguo was a little disappointed, he sighed, and stepped aside, Liu Bo stepped forward again, and the two started a question-and-answer session with Shangshu, and Fu Ze's stutter finally improved a lot.

Zhu Meng couldn't understand, "It seems that you still need to study more. You can see that Lu Jun can talk back and forth with this person. You can't even say a word. I feel that I will study for half a year. I can catch up with you."

Listening to their debate, Han Anguo shook his head, "They are not talking about profound knowledge, and they are only limited to the sentences of the Shangshu itself, but this is not the purpose of learning, learning is for doing practical things, for finding The way out is not to comprehend the words of the sages. How can the words of the sages in the past be applicable to the present? They are only used as a reference. Confucianism is very bad.”

Han Anguo blatantly criticized Confucianism, while the disciples around Fuze just lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard anything.

Ju Mong patted him on the shoulder with some contempt, "Brother, there's no need to find an excuse. If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Look at me, how have you ever found an excuse for yourself? You have to be open-minded!"

When Han Anguo heard about it, he also quite agreed, "You are right, I am still too far behind. I thought that the talents of Qi State were not much different from those of Chang'an, but now it seems that all the talents in this world are not so different. Gathered in Chang'an, there are no high sages in the area, even if there are high sages, I am afraid they are not willing to explain my doubts."

After finishing the exchange, Liu Bo happily led them all out.

"An Guo, this gentleman's knowledge is still good, but your questions are too tricky, and I'm afraid no one here can answer your questions. How about this, if you really want to study, just continue to follow me and wait. I will go around a few more times, and I will take you back to Chang'an, and I will take you to meet some real Gao Xian, and they will definitely be able to answer the question."

"Lack of knowledge, go to Chang'an, for fear of being ridiculed by experts."

"You can rest assured that those Gao Xian I know are not easy to laugh at others."

While Liu Bo was talking, Zhu Meng suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu, you see we have been together for so long, should you tell us your true identity? Anguo said, you are not Lu Zhong at all, Lu Zhong There is no such thing as the fourth brother. Who are you? How big a crime have you committed that you need to hide your name?"

Liu Bo was silent for a moment, then looked at Han Anguo.

"I'm not the only one who hides myself. Isn't Han Anguo, the number one in Liang Guo's assessment and known as "Liang Cai", pretending to be uneducated all day long?"

"what??"

Ju Mong was stunned, he looked at Han Anguk beside him.

"Liang Cai?? What's the situation???"

Han Anguo smiled wryly, "I want to teach the king to know that I'm not pretending, and I really don't have much talent."

Zhu Meng was shocked again, and looked at Liu Bo in doubt.

"My lord?? What's the situation??"

ps: It's almost the end of the month, everyone, why don't you vote for some monthly tickets?
