Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 839 Why Discuss High and Low? !

When Liu Ci and Liu Liang were released, Liu Ci was even a little reluctant to let go, turning around every three steps.

Xuan Moru's face darkened, "If the king loves the prison so much, and is so reluctant to give up, you can come and live here often."

Liu Ci hastily showed a flattering smile, "Father Zhong, don't worry, he won't come again, won't come again"

Xuan Moru grabbed his arm and dragged him in front of him. Liu Ci turned pale in shock and quickly covered his face. Don't look at Liu Ci's domineering and domineering, but facing these sages of my father, he still backed down , for fear of being beaten by them, these people really dare to do it, they are not ambiguous at all, and they don't care about his status as a prince and king at all.

And he was beaten up by them, and there was nowhere to file a complaint.

If I really report it to my father, maybe I will have to suffer again.

But Xuan Moru obviously didn't want to beat him up, and said loudly: "I'm not trying to scare you, if it falls into my hands again, I won't let you leave so easily!!"

Xuan Moru's voice was loud, and the soldiers around him hurriedly cheered up.

Xuan Moru whispered in Liu Ci's ear again: "Don't do it yourself next time, just tell me."

Liu Ci's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed to him, "I would like to follow the teachings of Father Zhong!"

"get out!"

Xuan Moru kicked Liu Ci's ass, Liu Ci smiled and pulled his brother out of here.

Watching them leave, Xuan Moru just put on a straight face, and told the soldiers at the side: "Take care of that person inside, don't hurt him."

Leaving here, Liu Ci just felt so comfortable and couldn't help moaning.

Liu Liang frowned, "Fourth Brother, don't do this again. I have killed many people to save you this time."

"Hahaha, how could it be harm?"

Liu Ci put his arms around his brother's shoulders with a smile, "Speaking of which, they all have to thank you. They were just useless literati before, and their reputation was unknown to outsiders. Father didn't value them. This time you Leading them and stirring up public opinion, they have also proved their abilities, and their reputation is well-known in Chang'an. Even if they leave you and go to other places in the future, they will still be respected by others. This is definitely a good thing for them."

"However, how did you come up with the idea of ​​mobilizing those literati and making a moral move? If I hadn't met Father Zhong, I might have been released that day."

Liu Liang said seriously: "I met a sage. After your accident this time, I went to him to ask for advice. He told me what to do. You don't know. This time is different from the past. You Hurting people in the street, arresting them, and blatantly violating the law are not trivial matters. The laws of the big man are very strict. Even the princes and kings cannot do such things. Others tried to take away their wives and were sentenced to death. Although you are a vassal king, if you did such a thing on the streets of Chang'an, if you didn't have a filial piety as a cover, it would be difficult to be thorough. In the future, you must Be careful!"

"Ah? Sage? What sage??"

Liu Ci, who has won the true biography of the emperor, did not hear the words at all, but only heard the word "sage".

Liu Liang's face darkened, and he reminded again: "Let me tell you, you are no longer a child now, and now you have violated the laws of the Han Dynasty, you have to follow the laws, Father will not protect you, if you don't want to throw it away The throne, don't do anything wrong!"

Seeing that Liu Liang was really angry, Liu Ci changed his words, "I know. It won't happen in the future. Tell me about that great sage!"

Liu Liang said seriously: "This man used to be the great sacrificial wine of Tang Guoxue. He came to Chang'an because of the enlightenment and Taixue. , I learned a lot from Sima Tan and asked him about things, if you have the opportunity, you can also visit with him."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal!"

Liu Ci was very happy. He met a sage in prison, and he met another one when he went out.

If they can be brought to the Xia Kingdom in the future, why should I worry about failing in my great career?
Looking at his younger brother's face, Liu Liang knew what he was thinking, and said helplessly, "Ci, that sage told me that the country's prosperity does not depend on the number of sages in the country. Ah, let’s talk about that person in the prison, if he offends father because of your instigation, what should he do?”

"Okay, okay, I get it... never again."

Just as the two brothers were talking, a carriage drove up in front of them.

It was Liu Ci's confidantes who came to pick him up. Liu Ci said proudly, "Where are you going? Do you want me to see you off?"

Liu Liang shook his head, "You go first, I still have something to do."

Liu Ci bid farewell to his elder brother, got into the car, and left here happily.

The driver was Xia Houci, and at this moment, he was complaining: "That Zhang Tang is really inappropriate, you even sent someone to protect his family members, but in the end, he directly arrested you, what a shame! It is heartless and unrighteous to not keep it! Cunning villain!"

Speaking of ruthlessness, Liu Ci's expression changed immediately.

"Yes, you are still kind and righteous. When you saw Zhang Tang coming, you actually drove away by yourself, took Dong Zhongshu and Gondoro with you, and left me there! You villains are not as good as Zhang Tang !"

Liu Ci suddenly remembered this matter, and immediately stepped forward to pinch Xia Houci's neck.

Xia Houci was driving the car, and explained loudly: "Your Majesty, don't mess around! I'm driving! Be careful not to fall!"

"That soup is very vicious. You don't know that we are chivalrous and righteous in the street, right? The last murderer in the street, Chehou, was sentenced to death. We are all Chehou, of course we have to run away. You are the king of princes, and you will not be sentenced to death”

"That's why you left me and ran away??"

"The main reason is that you are on the top, and you can't move it"

Liu Ci took a few deep breaths, and scolded: "In the past Spring and Autumn Period, all the disciples were able to die for the lord, but I was abandoned by my disciples. When I wanted to get in the car, I was pushed. People's hearts are not old! People's hearts Not ancient!"

Of course, Liu Ci didn't really care about these things. This was what they had discussed before. If he could run away, he would run away. After the fight, he would scatter in all directions. It's just that he didn't have time to escape.

Several people returned to the office and chatted about recent events.

Dong Zhongshu looked a little tired, and he brought back some news from Taixue.

"Tai Xue is in a mess now, the new Ling Shi is simply"

Dong Zhongshu didn't know how to evaluate this person, so after thinking for a long time, he said, "It's simply not as good as Xia Houci!"

Liu Ci turned pale with shock, "So unbearable? Who is it?"

Dong Zhongshu explained: "It's Cao Qi, Marquis of Pingyang. This person has not been long since he came to Taixue, and he has aroused public outrage. He has to intervene in the students' normal debates, and the sacrificial wines have also suffered from his humiliation. Now, he has almost become the public enemy of the entire Taixue. Speaking of it, these days, few people come to trouble me again Now, the whole Taixue is fighting against the enemy, and they all went to scold Pingyang Hou."

Liu Ci asked suspiciously: "How did this guy become the imperial historian?? Isn't he living at home?"

Xia Houci said: "I don't know what happened. Earlier, this guy got drunk in Wudinglou and bragged to others. He said that when he was serving corvee, he fought with the local barbarians. He said that he beat four people with one hand. People from Wuyuezhi said some unclean things anyway."

"and then?"

"Then these words were heard by Tutang of the Southern Army. Tutang fought him directly and beat him up."

"Later, for some reason, it was said that he went to the Imperial Academy."

Liu Ci was thoughtful, "Father may have his own intentions. Let's not talk about this guy, Zhong Shu, tell me, what talents does Taixue have in the near future?"

Dong Zhongshu shook his head, and said confidently: "It's just me."

Dong Zhongshu didn't brag. Now that he is in Taixue, his reputation is even louder than that of Ji An. At this age, he has already begun to delve into his own ideas, and has his own theory, which is really scary. Even surpassed those sacrificial wines.

Among his peers, he has no rivals, and his academic ability is full. The main reason is that his reputation is a bit weak. He doesn't have a good reputation like Ji An, probably because he has too much contact with King Xia.

In Taixue, he is completely unique and has no rivals.

This made the rest of the talents very uneasy, trying their best to surpass him.

Zheng Qi is one of these talents.

With the development of the local area, the talent reserve has increased. Taixue is full of stars and talents. If there is no Dong Zhongshu, it should be a situation where the heroes are Chen Ba. Gloomy As a 35-year-old who has achieved a great deal of knowledge and became a saint immediately, in terms of talent and early maturity, I am afraid that few people can compare with Dong Zhongshu. How many people have found him, wanting to prove their talent by defeating him.

Zheng Qi sat in front of his mansion with a book in his hand, lost in thought.

Zheng Qi's knowledge is very good, especially good at practical things, unlike those Confucian scholars who can only talk about knowledge, Shen Pei attaches great importance to him, and often says that he has the talent of a county guard.

Although in the eyes of Liu Chang, the sheriff is nothing, but whether it is in the eyes of the top nobles or the people at the bottom, the sheriff is definitely a great talent.

County magistrates are called Bailihou, who control the life and death of the people in a county, let alone the county guard?There are hundreds of thousands of people under the command of the county guard, and some may have millions of people. The financial army that controls several counties can be counted as a prince. Such an evaluation is still very high.

However, facing such a monster as Dong Zhongshu, such an evaluation is inevitably a bit worse.

The talents including Zheng Qi did not dare to relax even for a moment under such enormous pressure. They always held their books and studied hard, hoping to surpass Dong Zhongshu as soon as possible and break the mountain that was pressing on them.

"Brother!"

Zheng Bian jumped out suddenly, and Zheng Qi immediately raised his head, "Is Wei Wenjun here? Are they here?"

He looked around in surprise, Zheng Bian was confused, "Brother, what is Wei Wenjun. What's wrong with you?"

Zheng Qi quickly put away his smile, and sat down helplessly, "Oh, I should ask his name."

Ever since seeing that extremely heroic girl, Zheng Qi has been obsessed with it, talking about that girl all day long. Her unique temperament and outstanding appearance are all imprinted on Zheng Qi's heart, making him How can not forget.

Faced with the changes in his brother, Zheng Bian couldn't understand at all.

"If elder brother misses you so much, why don't you go directly to Wei Wenjun, or his mother?"

Zheng Qi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head seriously, "No."

"Brother, how about I go find his mother and force him to come?"

"Stop being presumptuous!"

Zheng Qi reprimanded him, then looked down at the book again.

The younger brother squatted obediently beside him, seeing his brother's concentration, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's so good about this book?"

"You don't understand that in the near future, Shen Peigong will summon all the Confucian scholars in the imperial academy to assess our talents and learning. I can't let go of this opportunity. When it comes to politics, I am not afraid of others, but academics are my weakness. I must work hard to surpass Dong Zhongshu. Just do it."

While the two brothers were chatting, Zheng Bian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pushed his elder brother, "Big Brother! Big Brother! They're here! They're here!!"

Zheng Qi hurriedly got up and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, Wei Wenjun and the woman got out of the car and walked towards this side, but Zheng Qi's eyes were completely on the person who was thinking about it. He walked forward quickly, ignoring Wei Wenjun directly, Go to Liu Jing to pay homage and see you.

"Finally able to meet the beauty. The last time we met, I forgot to ask her name."

Wei Wenjun frowned, and looked at Liu Jing who was on the side.

Liu Jing laughed softly, "My name is Liu Jing."

"Liu Ji."

Zheng Qi murmured in a low voice, but Wei Wenjun stepped forward and said, "I'm here to see my mother, and I asked you to get out of the way."

Zheng Qi hastily stepped aside, Wei Wenjun led Liu Jie and walked over, Zheng Qi followed a few steps, stopped again, and waited here.

When Wei Wenjun and Liu Jie walked into the backyard, Wei Wei was hugging the little doll and walking slowly at the door.

The two met Wei Wei, and Liu Jie took the little guy from her arms with a smile.

The little guy has finally grown up a bit, and finally he is not wrinkled and ugly. He has a round face and a pair of big eyes, which is very good-looking. This little guy has perfectly inherited the appearance of his parents. When he grows up, he will definitely be more beautiful than Wei Wenjun. To be outstanding handsome man.

However, at this moment, this handsome man burst into tears.

Liu Jie was in a hurry.

Wei Wei looked at her son and princess in front of her, but there was deep worry in her eyes.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Jie hugged the little guy and paced the original path. Taking this opportunity, Wei Wei said softly: "Mr. Wen, a saddle made of jade cannot fit on a nasty horse. If you force it to be worn by a nasty horse If you put on the most luxurious saddle, the poor horse will be exhausted and killed because it cannot bear the weight."

"Hats are worn on the head and shoes are worn on the feet. There is no reason to wear hats on the feet."

"You're getting older, so you still have to think about it in the future."

Hearing what Aunt said, Wei Wenjun's face froze, his smile faded away, and he didn't speak until he left.

When he left here, Liu Jie was extremely happy, "Xiaoqing is getting cuter and cuter, I think, if you hire him a good teacher, maybe he can become a great sage like Duke Fuqiu! "

Liu Jie looked at the silent Wei Wenjun, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you speak? What happened?"

"No problem."

Liu Jie frowned, and had just walked out of the mansion when he met Zheng Qi again.

Liu Jie seemed to realize something, just smiled politely at Zheng Qi, didn't speak to him again, and wanted to leave directly, Zheng Qi didn't dare to stop her, but just stopped Wei Wenjun.

"I have something to ask you."

Wei Wenjun signaled Liu Yan to get in the car and wait for him, then looked at Zheng Qi.

"What's your business?"

"Who is my woman to you?"

"It's a friend."

"Well, I want to know whose family she is a child of, is she related to the crown prince?"

Wei Wenjun was silent for a while, Zheng Qi said seriously: "If you don't want to tell, I won't force you."

"She is Princess Dahan, His Majesty's only daughter."

"what??"

When Wei Wenjun revealed the identity of Liu Ying, Zheng Qi was stunned, not only Zheng Qi, but also Zheng Bian was frightened and dumbfounded, his eyes were blank.

Zheng Qi originally only suspected that the other party was the clan, but he did not expect that the other party was actually the princess of the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Zheng Qi's heart was so complicated that he was dumbfounded.

Wei Wenjun asked softly: "Are you still going to continue asking?"

"Ok?"

"I am a slave, you are a tyrant."

"How can I know more?"

Zheng Qi's face became quite ugly, but soon, he became serious, and looked at Wei Wenjun seriously, "Where I was born is not something I can decide, but what kind of person you want to be, what kind of person do you want to be?" What kind of things, but I can choose. What about a powerful background? A man stands upright, studies hard, and makes achievements. Who knows that in the future I will not be able to be a general, a good match for a princess? !"

"The princess seems to appreciate you very much?"

Zheng Qi looked at Wei Wenjun, then shook his head, "I don't know you well, but what you said just now confuses me. Why does His Highness value someone like you?"

Wei Wenjun clenched his fists immediately.

"Of course you don't understand that you have no worries about food and clothing since you were a child, and you have never been dependent on others, and you have never suffered so much humiliation."

"Then can you understand my life? I watched my mother shed tears all day long, watched my father fight against people around him, ruined his reputation, and was pointed out everywhere. notoriety!"

The two confronted each other, and neither of them backed down.

Wei Wenjun looked at him calmly, then suddenly took a few steps back and bowed to him.

"Thank you."

When Wei Wenjun got up, his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and there was no trace of melancholy in his eyes.

"I was by no means born to be both a nag and an inferior."

"I would like to run thousands of miles with you, and compete with each other!!"
