Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 756
"Father!!!"

Liu Ci knelt down in front of Liu Chang with tears in his eyes.

"The aggressive method you passed down is useless. Zhou Bo doesn't follow it at all. Instead, he made me run around on the school field for a long time."

Liu Chang said calmly: "In the past, it probably worked to some extent, but if there are too many people who use aggressive methods against him, it won't work anymore. Don't worry, don't forget what I taught you. , is to persevere and influence him with sincerity, and sooner or later he will be able to earn it!"

Liu Ci's face was full of despair, "I stalked and stalked according to what you taught, but it didn't work. His punishment became more and more severe. Thinking of me, Xia Guo, until now there is no one who can shake the world. General, my heart is filled with indescribable bitterness. There are so many good generals in the world, why can’t my Xia Kingdom get one?? If all the generals can come to my Xia Kingdom, what should I do! "

"It's not easy for the generals to go to the Xia Kingdom. After you return to the country, you can lead your 20 cavalry to the south. Guaranteed that within three months, Zhou Bo will appear in your royal city and meet you in person, maybe We can also meet other famous generals, such as Zhou Yafu, Wei Shang, Wei Wei, Zhou Zao, Xu Li, etc. may all go together."

Liu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then muttered: "Then are they here to do things for me? Wouldn't they want to take my head off? What a great military achievement."

"Then you can continue pestering Zhou Bo. How old is Zhou Bo? Can I still forcibly exile him to the Kingdom of Xia? If you can persuade him and let him write a letter by himself, that is your ability. If you can’t do it, then go to your school with peace of mind, you still have a few years to go, and when you go to the country, I won’t let you go there empty-handed, so don’t worry too much about it.”

Liu Ci was very displeased, "Father doesn't want to help me, so I'll go find my mother!"

"It's the same with anyone!"

"They can do more things in Chang'an. What are they going to do in your place? You need Zhou Bo and the others to come forward to fight some miscellaneous Husbands?? Furthermore, your country of Xia's purpose is to recruit complex Husbands, let Zhou Bo go there, But there are other nonsense, all of them have their heads chopped off, but well, it is good to get in touch with those scholars who study military science more. It is not necessary for a king to know too advanced combat methods, but he must learn to get along with others and know how to fight. Subdue those who can actually fight."

"Just like your great father."

Liu Ci reluctantly left Houde Hall, still muttering about "lost love" and "no way", Lu Lu finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, every time I see King Xia being deflated, I can't help but think of His Majesty back then. No wonder all the sages from all over the world like to beat King Xia when they return to Chang'an. It's so similar."

"What do you look like? When I was his age, I was already in charge of the government, and Cao Shen didn't even dare to look up at me!"

"That's right, Your Majesty was still short at that time, Cao Shen and others had to look down at you."

The two chatted and laughed for a while before Lu Lu asked: "Your Majesty, although King Xia is a little anxious, what he said is not unreasonable. Xia Guo has Fu Qing, but after all Fu Qing is going to manage state affairs. The general of the general situation. Zhou Bo is warlike. Staying in Chang'an may not be what he expected. Why not appoint him to Xia Guo? Even if you don't appoint Zhou Bo, you can choose other generals and find a suitable person to go to Xia Guo."

"No hurry. I have four sons. Among them, the three sons are good, weak and sick. I don't expect anything from him. I just want to grow up healthy. For the other three sons, I have my own ideas. They are knowledgeable and courageous. Good talents, able to gather people, will be able to inherit my career in the future, brave and brave, kind, can tell right from wrong, can sit on behalf of the country, make peace with brothers in the north, shake in the south, give courage, know people, know how to get along with others With the support of the brothers in the south, he can integrate the grasslands, control the tribes, and keep the temples from being invaded by enemies outside the Great Wall."

"Now An and Bo, I don't have anything to worry about. Only Ci needs him to develop more skills. I don't want to help him too much. I still have to let him do everything by himself and let him overcome it by himself. .”

"Your Majesty is right."

In Hu Wusheng's mansion, a large number of Gongyang faction scholars gathered.

These Gongyang faction scholars were still punished because they offended the emperor, and they are still cleaning the Taixue every day, but they are not ashamed of it. Instead, they publicize His Majesty's original words all day long: To Gongyang For me, being trapped in Chang'an is the greatest torture, and going to Xia Guo and other places is a reward.

The reason why they gathered here today is very simple, the big shots of the Ram School want to receive them.

Gongsun Hong sat in the crowd anxiously, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

What he feared the most had happened.

My little uncle decided to summon the sages of the Gongyang School and have a good reunion with them. Thinking of what might happen next, Gong Sunhong felt a headache.There are probably more than 50 scholars here, all of whom are well-known talents in the Gongyang School. These people filled the entire mansion and gathered with each other. Speaking of the Xia Kingdom's war, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Gongsun Hong decided to take precautions for everyone first. He cleared his throat and said, "My lords."

Since what happened last time, Gongsun Hong still has a high prestige within Gongyang, and everyone respects him very much. When he spoke like this, everyone immediately fell silent.Gong Sunhong looked at the crowd seriously, and said: "Masters, King Xia will come to meet us later. King Xia is a member of our Gongyang School, and he is quite partial to us. However, King Xia is still young after all. , I don’t hold back my words, and please don’t talk to him deeply, it’s not because I’m worried about being punished by King Xia, but because I’m afraid that King Xia will offend His Majesty by talking about you in front of His Majesty.”

"If Your Majesty uses the accusation of bewitching the young princes and kings to deal with us, we will not be able to defend ourselves, you should remember."

Hearing Gong Sunhong's words, everyone hurriedly replied: "Please don't worry, King Xia is young, we naturally know what to say and what not to say, and we will never speak up in front of the king."

Gongsun Hong glanced at them, not believing what they said.

Just when he was about to remind some more things, it was already too late.

With a hearty laugh, King Xia led his confidantes to this place.

Liu Ci walked in here. He obviously dressed up carefully. In terms of appearance, he was really heroic and unrestrained. After entering the door, he bowed his hands to everyone and said with a smile : "Thank you for meeting many fellow disciples!!"

Everyone got up to return the salute, but Liu Ci said indifferently: "Don't salute, we will get along as the same door after entering this gate. There are no kings or ministers here. We are all rams. Both master and brother are not in Chang'an, if you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me first, I will definitely help you!!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of many rams lit up.

One person couldn't help but said: "Gongsun Jun once said that you are young and naughty, and that if there is any offensive behavior, let us not blame it. I saw the king today and realized that these rumors are really unbelievable. The king is young. , but has the capital of a virtuous king!!"

"Extreme! Exactly!"

Someone else echoed: "If the king was in Chang'an, why should we be deceived by Huang Lao?"

Looking at the crowd who quickly began to mingle, Gongsun Hong took a deep breath and hurriedly asked Liu Ci to sit down.

Liu Ci sat in his seat and looked at everyone with a serious expression, "Although I was not in Chang'an before, I was quite clear about the affairs of Chang'an. There are really fewer and fewer talents in Chang'an. But I have returned to Chang'an, so I won't be bullied by others!!"

"Thank you, King!!"

Everyone spoke with high-pitched expressions.

Liu Ci questioned them one by one, asking about their names and places of origin. Everyone had known their names for a long time, and when it came to their places of origin, he also talked about their local specialties and said something that could easily bring them closer together.

Even though everyone knew that the other party was deliberately getting close, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. After all, this young but serious prince of the Han Dynasty was called Corporal Lixian!

Soon, they chatted very hotly.

"I was in Chang'an, thinking of the wars in the Xia Kingdom, I was restless all day long. I wished I could ride a war horse to the Xia Kingdom tomorrow, wipe out those enemies, and comfort the people of my Xia Kingdom. But in my Xia Kingdom, the people have no food and no clothes. Most of the talented people in the country avoid it, and no one is willing to follow me.”

"Your Majesty! To rule the Xia Kingdom and repel foreign enemies, why do you need those mediocre people? If the King does not dislike you, we are all willing to follow you to the Xia Kingdom, educate the local people, and teach the way of saints, so that the King will no longer have to worry about it."

Liu Ci never thought that Corporal Lixian would go so smoothly.

Gongyang had almost no resistance to Liu Ci, and they all expressed their willingness to work for Liu Ci. Some people even wanted to ride horses and kill Xia Guo on the spot. Liu Ci felt the power of the school for the first time. No wonder, no wonder Father If you insist on letting all of us brothers worship under everyone, is there such a benefit? !On weekdays, Liu Ci's virtuous corporals are always useless, especially when facing these real scholars, they are not very attractive.

Only when facing people from the same school did he experience the feeling of a virtuous king.

This made Liu Ci extremely happy.

He said loudly: "How can I be so virtuous, I can get talents like you!! When we return to the Xia Kingdom, we will definitely rule the Xia Kingdom and make the people rich. No one in the world will dare to look down on our Xia Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty is right! When the time comes, see if those Huang Laos dare to be rude to our rams?!"

Gongsun Hong's complexion changed drastically, and he cleared his throat hastily.

"It can't be said that many schools of thought should be in harmony. This is the principle of governing the country. Even if Huang Lao is a man of morality, he cannot be vetoed because of this."

Liu Ci was very disdainful, "What kind of talents can Mr. Huang have? The real talents still have to look at our Gongyang! They talk all day long without fighting. Can they govern Xia Guo well with just one mouth? Retreat from foreign enemies? Our rams are different, we each hold swords, that is, my eldest brother loves Huang Lao, otherwise how could Huang Lao live to this day? What qualifications do they have? Let’s go to Xia Guo and kill those Those who are unwilling to obey us, educate those local people who are willing to submit to us, so that the big man will no longer be threatened by the outside of the Great Wall for hundreds of years, our credit is not what they can look up to!"

"Your Majesty is right!!!"

"The fate is in the Han Dynasty, the great man should go to educate the four directions, spread the knowledge of the sage, make the world know the etiquette, understand the honor and disgrace, eliminate all the villains, make the people of the world admire and be educated by the sage!!"

"Yes, not just the grassland, but also the poisonous body! And the peace!! And the mules and horses that my father always talked about!! We want them to understand the principles of saints!! Let them understand the principles of rams!! "

Gongsun Hong knew that things were no longer within his control. The war madmen gathered together, their eyes were fiery and their blood was boiling, and they criticized Huang Lao's supporters as worthless. He wished he could lead the army to rest now Going abroad, Liu Ci's voice became louder and louder, and even made people bring drinks and talk about his great ambitions. Dong Zhongshu sat quietly by his side and observed the great Confucians in front of him, and he would speak up from time to time.

Every time he said, it happened to hit what these people wanted the most in their hearts.

When Liu Ci mentioned that he wanted to build an invincible powerful country across the east and west, Dong Zhongshu directly explained to him, "The king wants to educate the people of the east and west, and promote the way of sages and the extreme west!"

When Liu Ci said that he wanted to cut off the head of King Anxi in his dreams, Dong Zhongshu explained: "King Anxi doesn't know the truth of saints, but is a thief who harms the people. Your Majesty wants to eliminate harm for the world and let the people of Anxi escape from the tyrant. Rule and enjoy the teachings of the saints!"

When Liu Ci said that he wanted to make the world tremble when he heard his name, Dong Zhongshu explained: "This is to promote the power of the ram, so that the theory of the ram will spread throughout Kyushu, and the wicked will shudder when they hear it. The good man is very excited when he hears it."

Just like Uncle Fuqiu who was beside Liu Chang back then, Dong Zhongshu has grown into a very qualified supporter. With his assist, Liu Ci killed all directions.

After some words, the rams who spoke were very excited and shouted, "Master."

Gong Yang was already a little easy to get on top of, how could he stand up to the two of them being so fierce, immediately, the mansion became very lively.

When Liu Ci left here, his face was filled with indescribable pride. He took Dong Zhongshu's hand, "Zhongshu, I just realized the importance of schools today!"

"If the Gongyang School can continue to grow, how many people will be willing to use it when it spreads all over the world? At that time, will Xia Guo still need to worry about the lack of officials? There are talented people everywhere, who can compare What about my Xia country?"

Xia Houci just yawned, he didn't care much about these academic matters.

Dong Zhongshu said seriously: "That's why I persuaded you before, don't worry too much about Xia Guo's situation. Your Majesty has Gongyang to assist him. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of talents, and there will be no shortage of capable people."

Just when the two were discussing important matters excitedly, someone came forward, who had been waiting here for an unknown amount of time, and looked directly at Liu Ci.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince asks you to go to his mansion now."

Liu Ci just drank some wine and was still a little dizzy. Hearing these words, he became sober.

"Brother looking for me??"

He looked at Dong Zhongshu who was at the side, Dong Zhongshu frowned, and then said with a smile: "Since His Royal Highness is looking for you, please hurry up and see him, maybe His Highness wants to help you."

"real??"

Liu Ci didn't dare to relax immediately, and followed the man out of here in a hurry.

After he left, Xia Houci asked, "The crown prince really wants to reward the king?"

"How did I know that I should go back and have a rest, I still have class tomorrow."

Liu Ci couldn't wait to come to the prince's mansion. There were still people coming and going here, and there was a lot of traffic. Looking at those people, Liu Ci's eyes were full of envy. In terms of the scale of the Guanglun School, Gongyang and Huang Lao still had a similar relationship. There is a little difference.

He summoned famous rams by himself, but only a few dozen people.

And if the eldest brother summons those young people, he can recruit thousands of people, not to mention the great masters.

He was taken all the way to the study by that person, and he saw Liu An who was processing paperwork. Liu An motioned for him to sit aside.

Liu Ci obediently sat beside the eldest brother, watching his eldest brother busy writing, and did not dare to interrupt him.

After being busy for a long time, Liu An finally put down his pen, and asked with a smile, "How is it? You won those great Confucian scholars with your words?"

"Brother, how do you know??"

"In Chang'an, there are very few things I don't know. How does it feel? Do you feel like you have met a confidant? Excited and excited? Can't wait to take the ram to the north tomorrow?"

Liu Ci smirked, "There is indeed one thing, I just think that the ram is really suitable for my country of Xia."

Liu An nodded and said, "It's not surprising that you feel this way. What Gongyang is best at is to make the king feel that Gongyang is suitable for you. If you are in Zhao State, they will become suitable for Zhao State. Within Confucianism, they are the school that has adjusted the fastest. Ci, the king cannot be used by the school. Don’t think that you are a scholar of the Gongyang School. You have to regard yourself as a prince and king, and you can use them, but Don't use it for them."

Liu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and asked back: "But the elder brother came from Huang Lao's scholar?"

"I am different from you. I am the leader of Huang Lao. I can adjust Huang Lao at will and hold Huang Lao in my hands."

"I can be the leader of the Rams too!!"

Liu An laughed, "The matter of learning is not as simple as you think. If you are not careful, you will get involved in it yourself. I asked you to come here to tell you that a vassal state cannot appear. The situation where one school dominates, even if it is your own school, once this happens, there will be big problems, and in the future, this school will engulf the entire country and do things that are not beneficial to the country but beneficial to the school."

"Then other schools have to be willing to come to my country? Except for the ram, who is willing to go to my rotten place?"

"Of course, if you have this, don't worry. Listen to the elder brother. The elder brother will not harm you."

"Oh brother, are you going to recommend talents for me?"

"That's what I mean, but I'm recommending a school for you."

"Just look for a few that have a deep relationship with Confucianism, like farmers, Mohists, Legalists, etc."

ps: Before the end of the month, I will ask you guys for a monthly pass! ! !
