"Hahaha~~~"

There was a tyrant-like laughter in Houde Hall.

Liu Chang kindly helped Wang Tong to sit down. Liu Chang was very familiar with this Wang Tong.

He was one of the great sages who were kidnapped and invited to the Tang Kingdom when Liu Chang was young.

This great sage was still so reluctant at the beginning, always thinking of leaving the Tang country, but fortunately, there was Zhang Cang first, and then Zhang Xiangru, who insisted on comforting him. These two people took good care of him, especially Zhang Cang, Treat him as a half-disciple. In the past, he assisted Duke Gai to manage the Tang Academy, and later, he took charge of it alone and became the chief sacrificial wine of the Tang Academy.

During these years, the Tang State has taught a lot of talents, and sent many useful talents to various places. For example, Yuan An, the current Prime Minister of Zhao, was taught by him.

Having lived in the Tang Dynasty for many years, it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with some Tang people's style.

The great Confucian who was like a gentleman at the beginning now looks even more like a great Confucian.

A lot of age, but the body is very tough, and it is very vigorous when playing with crutches.

The academic style of Tang State may be slightly different from that of Chang'an. In that place, if you want others to listen to your reasoning, it will take more effort than in Chang'an. For baptism, they must first let them succumb to the principles of the saints.

Liu Chang shook his head, looked at Yang He who was kneeling in front of him talking with Sima, and let out a long sigh.

"Just for such a trivial matter, why did you come to Chang'an in person?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, and they're not really an offense."

"This Yang He just wrote some articles, criticizing me, scolding the Taiwei, talking about the Prime Minister of the country, and did nothing else. Although some articles are quite disrespectful to Tang Guo, But after all, you are young, and it is normal to be ignorant.”

Wang Tong's eyes widened immediately.

Yang He hastily argued: "I have never been disrespectful to Tang Guo."

"Isn't there a sentence in your article, 'The old sage king went to the country of thieves, what about today's sage king'?"

"You are a thief, where is it worth?"

"I'm just a metaphor, me"

Before Yang He finished speaking, Wang Tong jumped up, and Liu Chang hurriedly stopped him.

"Prince, don't get angry, don't get angry. He is ignorant, just correct it. At least his knowledge is very good. You see, the Marquis of Beiping wanted to discipline him for you, but he was speechless by what he said. It is said that the Marquis of Beiping is the thief who defeated China's virtues, and he is not worthy of arguing with him."

Yang He widened his eyes, "I'm wronged!!!"

"Didn't you say in your article that if the virtuous head is not upright, China's morality will be perfect"? Didn't the virtuous head refer to the Marquis of Beiping who was the prime minister at the time?"

"I mean the moral character of the officials, Master, I am wronged."

Yang He's whole body was numb, and he looked at Wang Tong with sincerity in his eyes.

Teacher, please look into my eyes, I am not lying to you, this is purely finding fault in my article to slander me! !
Wang Tong's eyes were already burning with raging anger.

Because, this king is a bluff.

He admired Zhang Cang very much, just like Fu Qiubo admired Liu Chang. He wrote many articles to praise Zhang Cang. One, it means that all the Confucians starting from Confucius are number one.

The reason he gave was that Zhang Cang was the first Confucian prime minister.The so-called prime minister of a great country is a country of emperors like Zhou and Han, not a country of princes.

As the first Confucian prime minister, and he can do so well, he must be the most talented Confucian.

Liu Chang felt that, in fact, from this direction, it seemed that people were right.

Anyway, attacking Zhang Xiang in front of him is somewhat dangerous.

Fortunately, Liu Chang firmly stopped him, "Don't get angry, even if you are lacking in these areas, you can see that his disciples are not bad, especially Sima Tan, who had a reputation of being smart back then. Look at how good the teaching is now, I met a liar a few days ago, and I still have to help, and I don’t hesitate to encourage this kind of atmosphere, and I want to make my own reputation. It’s really touching.”

"This is Houde Palace, it's really not a place to do it. If the prince wants to teach them, you can wait later but don't be too strict with them, be tolerant. I am very tolerant to them. To this Yang Jun, I He was also very grateful for pardoning his crimes three times, and after being pardoned by me, he wrote a letter to accuse me."

Yang He and Sima Tan were trembling at the moment.

Wang Tong didn't look at them any more, just looking at his slightly trembling hand holding the crutch, he knew that a severe beating would be inevitable later.

Wang Tong put aside his disciples' affairs for the time being, and talked about his reason for coming.

Wang Tong was very dissatisfied with Taixue.

"Your Majesty, ever since Shen Pei took charge of the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy has become more and more useless."

Wang Tong frowned, and said very seriously: "Over the years, more and more people have participated in the Taixue assessment, but the number of places in the Taixue has remained unchanged, and many talented people have not been able to enter the Taixue. There are many Taixues, and there are very few poor people who can join the Taixue. In addition, the interior of the Taixue is becoming more and more chaotic, and many schools are attacking each other."

"I think that today is different from the past. In the past, schools around the world were banned because of the need to centralize power and temples, so that local officials could not appoint talented people at will. But today's Taixue is no longer directly an official like it used to be. Local officials are also subject to many restrictions. All localities need to be assessed, and there is no direct promotion. Therefore, please change the original policy, allow local schools, allow local schools to set up imperial schools, even if you are not willing to bestow imperial education. Name, if you can let go of the restrictions of Chinese studies, it is also possible."

Wang Tong talked about many things, mostly about the local enlightenment system.

Now the place starts from the county school, and the county school is enlightened. Excellent people enter the county school or national school for further education, and carry out all-round training. Liu Chang's third-level education in an ideal state.

But Wang Tong has a big opinion on the current system.

"The temple implements such a policy in order to cultivate virtuous people, but now the county school is too long and the national school is too short. This is putting the cart before the horse and spending a lot of money on the temple, but more energy is spent on the county school. Of course, the foundation is very important, but in finance When the situation is not so abundant, should we pay more attention to the study of the prefecture and the state? Those who come out of this place are the real talents that the great man needs."

Liu Chang listened carefully to the other party's suggestion.

"The things you said are not unreasonable. How about this? The Marquis of Beiping is in Chang'an now. You can discuss this matter with him first and ask his opinion."

"If you jointly submit a letter, I will inform the officials and make it go ahead."

The two chatted about other things, and Wang Tong bid farewell to Liu Chang. When sending him away, Liu Chang did not forget to tell him, "Discipline disciples don't have to be too strict, just let them understand their mistakes. But don't get angry and ruin your body!"

After Wang Tong left with his disciples, Lu Lu came up and shook his head looking at the direction they left.

"Well, with my help, I probably won't be able to read those articles by Yang He in the future."

Liu Chang said quite proudly.

But Lu Lu said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't really care about these things. I just want to know, how did you know about his articles? Can you still lodge and sue so accurately?"

"I have studied hard since I was a child. Isn't it normal to know these things?"

But Lu Lu asked again: "Is it Dou Guangguo?"

"It's Ann."

"Sure enough!"

Lu Lu knew that things would not be so simple. He knew exactly what kind of person His Majesty was. How could he catch someone else's handle from the article?It turned out that Liu An was invited to help, so that made sense.

"But how did you prepare these in advance?"

"When Wang Tong first entered the city, I knew about it."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lu Lu said sincerely, whenever His Majesty wants to do something like revenge on others, he is so smart, well-prepared, and deliberate. If this thought can be used in state affairs, why should the big man be unhappy? !

Probably because of the successful revenge, Liu Chang was in a very good mood and ate a little more than usual. After eating, he rushed towards Changle Palace.

"Easy. Hiss."

Liu Ci was lying on the bed, Liu Liang shook his head and gently applied medicine to him.

"What's the reason again this time?"

"Sooner or later, your butt will be smashed and swollen to be bigger than Father's head."

Liu Ci said cursingly: "It's all because my elder brother is jealous of me. Both Qian and Yi like me, but they don't like him. They imitate me everywhere. My elder brother was very jealous, so he beat me up."

Liu Liang hesitated for a moment before he said, "What have you taught them?"

"I just took them to play. The ghost knows what they learned from me. I'm not a bad person. Even if they learn from me, they certainly haven't learned anything bad."

"Ci, you are going to be the emperor in the future, you can't take the child on the wrong road, if you follow your example, what's the deal?"

"No, what do you mean? Learning from me is going astray??"

"Anyway, it's impossible for the emperor of the Han Dynasty to be beaten severely for three days, right?"

Liu Ci bared his teeth and said, "That's hard to say. With Father's temperament, do you think he was never beaten when he was young? I think he may have been beaten harder than me!"

"Nonsense, what kind of person is father, how can he be like you?"

Liu Liang rubbed the medicine and sat beside Liu Ci, but Liu Ci didn't care much.

"It doesn't matter what kind of person you are. It doesn't matter whether you are an emperor or a king. As long as you can do something useful to the people of Sheji, even if you are as lustful as the Marquis of Beiping or as cruel as Father , as flattering as Zhang Xiang, you are a sage, if you can't do anything well, even if you have my character, it is useless."

Liu Liang's face darkened and he didn't speak.

Liu Ci seemed to realize something, and quickly explained: "There are many kinds of things that a king wants to do that is useful to the people of the country. Some kings are like my father, whose personal virtues are hard to say, but they can employ people and execute government orders. Well, there are also kings who do nothing like King Liang, but they don’t bother the people. The weather is good and the people are considered rich. Some kings are like the king of Chu in the past. Isn’t it good to concentrate on martial arts? There are many methods, and there are also many kinds of so-called useful things.”

Liu Liang's complexion got better now, "You don't need to enlighten me, I really don't have much talent. But I will definitely not torment the common people in the future."

"Fourth brother, I didn't mean you"

"You are the fourth brother"

Liu Ci struggled to raise his upper body, put his hands on it, looked at Liu Liang seriously, and said: "To be a king, you don't need to have any talents, you can use people, and you just need to know how to cherish the people. You have to make more friends and go outside more." When you meet all kinds of people, you can know what kind of people are only when you meet enough people. You see, I am out all day, not for fun, but mainly to increase my experience and see all kinds of people. People. Don’t you have a lot of writers around you? Take them around for a walk.”

"What can you learn by staying in the palace? What the teacher taught can't be used to govern the country. Look at me, don't you also wander around all day?"

Just as Liu Ci was talking, he suddenly realized something and asked, "By the way, I haven't seen this guy for two days. Where did this guy go?"

"Stay with big brother."

"Heh, I must have gone to find that surnamed Wei. When I return to the country in the future, I will definitely take this guy to the country of Xia!"

Liu Liang didn't care about Liu Ci's clamor, and returned to his residence quietly.

Liu Liang was weak and sickly since he was a child, much thinner than his brothers, and because of his sickness, his family members were more protective of him, and Liu Chang had a very gentle attitude towards him, and among Liu Chang's many children, he was also The most low-key one.

Sometimes, thinking of his brothers, Liu Liang would inexplicably feel a little inferior.

Needless to say, the ability of the eldest brother, the martial arts of the second brother is top-notch, even the fourth brother seems stubborn and incurable, but his contacts are all over Chang'an, and he can make friends with anyone. Resolute, in fact, my father likes him the most. Even the youngest sister is so brave, has great ambitions, is deeply loved by the adults in the family, and is especially talented in the art of war.

Only myself, mediocre, with almost no special skills, no ability to speak out.

Really let the family down.

This time, Father ordered to go to his northern region to reward Ji Bu and other ministers on his behalf. He was about to leave in two days, but Liu Liang was a little helpless. He didn't know what he should do. If his brother Let's go, I'm sure we can do well.

Liu Liang sat silently in his residence again, but Liu Ci's words kept echoing in his heart.

He finally stood up, how about going outside to have a look?

Liu Liang took the two servants and walked out of the palace.

This was the first time he went out without a reason. In the past, he often went out because of the orders of his father and mother.

He didn't know where he should go, he just wandered aimlessly in Chang'an.

However, why did the passers-by seem to be avoiding him when they saw him?
Just wandering around like this, before he knew it, Liu Liang had already arrived near Taixue.

This is the most lively place in Chang'an, where many students can be seen gathering to discuss knowledge and have debates. Liu Liang listened quietly to their debates, and when the most exciting moment came, he applauded along with everyone.

A person was passing by limping, seeing the same walking posture as his younger brother, Liu Liang couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The man noticed Liu Liang, his expression changed drastically, and he turned around and was about to run away.

But after a few more glances, it seemed that something was wrong. He frowned and pondered for a long time before walking forward and paying respects to Liu Liang.

Liu Liang looked at the young man in front of him who was not much different from his own age, and hurriedly returned the gift.

"I confessed to the wrong person, and I was almost rude in front of you. Please forgive me."

"You know me?"

"I don't know you, but I can guess your identity by looking at your appearance."

Liu Liang was suddenly curious about the man in front of him, and asked his name.

"My name is Sima Tan, the son of Sima Xi, Tai Shiling."

"Oh! So he is the son of Sima Gong!"

Liu Liang then looked at his leg again, "Then your leg is..."

"Oh, it's a long story, you better stop asking"

Liu Liang hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, "Here, this is for you. This is a medicine for bruises. I keep it by my side all the time, just in case. Well, anyway, you can try it. very good."

Sima Tan was taken aback for a moment, took the porcelain seriously, and then said with emotion: "You and your brother are really completely different, thank you for your love."

"You have a problem with my brother?"

Sima Tan scratched his head and said, "Who in Chang'an has never had a feud with King Xia. King Xia has come to harass my teacher many times, and we knew each other back then."

The two chatted a few more words, and this was the first friend Liu Liang knew.

The two chatted very happily, Liu Liang himself did not expect that he could talk so much with others.

"I see what's on your mind?"

"It's like this. My father is going to let me go to the Northland to visit the ministers who are there to help the disaster. I am a little scared and don't know what to do."

Sima Tan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his hand, "Now there is a great sage in Chang'an. He is very knowledgeable and knows everything. Let me take you to him. He will definitely treat you very well." suggestion!"

"what?"

Liu Liang was stunned, and hurriedly pulled out his hand, and said helplessly, "Why bother Daxian?"

At this moment, four or five women were seen jumping out of the carriage, and the leader pointed at Liu Liang and cursed: "It really is you! You are a heartless liar!! Sisters! Beat him!! "

At that moment, Liu Liang's eyes widened, Sima Tan pulled him and ran away.

I saw Sima Tan, who was still limping just now, was walking like flying.

"Go! Go! You can't fight back against a woman! I might not listen to your explanation!!"

Liu Liang also reacted at this moment, cursing while running: "No wonder this guy asked me to go out for a walk more!!"

"Less suffering!! Less suffering!!!"
