Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 846 The Real Usage of Chen Mai

"Your Majesty, are you going to Shangfang today?"

Lu Lu asked secretly.

Liu Chang touched his swollen lips subconsciously, and shouted, "No!"

There was a cut above Liu Chang's right lip, it was slightly red and swollen, and it didn't look very beautiful.

Dou Guangguo only felt that his three views had been refreshed again. When he saw the furious emperor punching General Xiahou in the face, Dou Guangguo widened his eyes and yelled. When Ji hit the emperor with an uppercut, Dou Guangguo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

He thought he was going to see the end of Xiahou's family's family punishment for plotting against him.

When he shouted for the soldiers and Xia Houzao's rebellion, Lu Lu calmly pulled him up.

"This is a very common thing, don't panic."

In this way, Dou Guangguo saw the emperor wrestling with Xia Houzao, and soon Xiahouzao was held down by the emperor. The emperor shouted, "Give me back the wine!", and punched Xiahouzao down.

Dou Guangguo himself didn't know whether he should feel sorry for the emperor beating the general in the palace, or the general dared to fight back and beat the emperor.

Either way, it's appalling!

There are elderly servants in the palace, just watching with a smile on their faces. According to them, the current emperor is promising. Back then, when Emperor Gao wanted to beat Marquis Wuyang, someone had to come to sideline the fight!
Today's emperor doesn't need others to pull sideways at all, he can beat it directly.

Liu Chang is a person who cares about clothes very much. Although he doesn't like cleanliness very much, he always wipes his mouth with his sleeves when eating, and new clothes can't last for a day, but every time he goes out, he must change into brand new clothes, from head to toe. New ones, bathing, shaving, you must make yourself a handsome man before going out.In this regard, he is 100% similar to Liu Bang, and he is very concerned about his external image. As for the internal image, whoever comes into contact with him will know.

It is said that Liu Bang spends a long time trimming his beard every time before going out. He has to change his look from time to time, and he will trim his beard with his clothes today. He will not go out until he feels handsome.

But now that his lips were scratched, Liu Chang felt that there was a flaw, not perfect, so he was not in a hurry to go out to Shang Fang.

Liu Bang's descendants are more or less tainted with this kind of beauty-loving and handsome character, who care more about appearance than inner appearance, except for the fourth son, who doesn't care about his own image, only his mended clothes , the rest of the brothers are simply impossible to wear.

Liu Chang scolded: "This guy actually shot me for a few horses. In the future, he will definitely give him a posthumous title!"

Lu Lu thought to himself: You can actually keep this word for yourself.

At this time, Zhang Xiang hurried to Houde Hall.

Liu Chang was a little embarrassed for a moment, and put his hand to his mouth unnaturally, pretending to be in thought, to prevent him from seeing his wound.

Zhang Buyi paid a visit, and was about to report, but he saw His Majesty's injury at a glance, and immediately flew into a rage.

"Your Majesty! Which traitor is this who attacked Your Majesty?!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I got to play with Xiahou Zaojiao, and my skin was scratched."

"It must be this fellow who made a surprise attack! Otherwise, how could he break His Majesty's skin? I will never let him go"

Zhang Buyi said angrily, as if he was going to settle accounts with Xia Houzao in the next moment, Liu Chang hurriedly pulled him back and let him sit beside him.

Zhang Xiang is good at everything, but he can't recognize his own martial arts. Although Xia Houzao is not very good, it's not like you can go up and beat him up!
Even among the generals, few dare to say they can take him down, right?

Of course, in order to care about Zhang Xiang's face, these words can't be said directly, Liu Chang had no choice but to say: "It's just a normal joke, Zhang Xiang doesn't need to be angry, why did you come here suddenly?"

Only then did Zhang Buyi remember the purpose of his visit, and hurriedly said: "That's right, Your Majesty, the ministers are about to agree to the Ministry of Industry's presentation today."

"Ah? Agree today? What do you mean?"

"Did the Marquis of Shandu come out?"

Zhang Buyi said happily: "No, it is the officials of the Ministry of Industry who went to Taixue to give a speech in person, preaching the meaning of the letter from the Ministry of Industry, and everyone agrees that they are preparing to take the students from the Taixue to write a letter to support the decision of the Ministry of Industry. Those officials originally wanted to drag Taixue into the water and force the Ministry of Industry to retreat through the public opinion offensive of scholars, hahaha, this time they are going to hit their own feet!!"

In the Taixue, the scholars crowded together densely, looking up at the people on the stage.

This time, the Ministry of Industry only sent one person here to preach the major events of the Ministry of Industry.

But this man was a little different.

This man is called Ji An.

Although he is only a county magistrate outside, he has a great reputation in Taixue. He seriously preached the ideas of the Ministry of Industry and what it means to treat craftsmen. Combined with Huang Lao's theory, he talked about productivity and Science and technology, speaking of changes in various places.His speech was progressive and very tense, without any pause in the middle, and his logic was clear. Although he didn't elaborate, he just gave a general idea, but because of this, he didn't give anyone a chance to intervene and fight back.

After most of the narration, just when the interested people were about to counterattack, Ji An had already stopped. He pointed to the side and said: "The sages in Chang'an came here with me to discuss this matter. I think the scholars are also willing." Let's hear what you think."

Immediately, a big man came up slowly, looked at the crowd with a smile, and explained his identity.

"Su Fei, I don't have much talent, but since Mr. Ji wants me to talk about my ideas, I'm still willing to talk to you."

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

There were discussions.

Su Fei, the eight princes under the prince's family, I heard that he is one of the editors of the great Han Honglie!

Why is there still something about the prince here?

Before everyone could react, Su Fei had already started to talk about it. Ji An gave the general idea, and Su Fei took care of the details.

Not only Su Fei, but several heavyweight disciples who did not leave with Liu An are all standing here. Su Fei, Tian You, Zuo Wu and others all appeared here. They are all one of Liu An's eight disciples. .

Combining Huang Lao's thoughts, they began to describe the relationship between governing the country and the development of productive forces in detail. The enhanced version of Hong Lie, who was written by Liu An combined with the teachings of his father, was simply a dimensionality reduction for these students who were studying at the university. In fact, the attack is not only for Tai students, but also for people like Shen Pei, it is extremely difficult to defeat this knowledge.When the three sages under the prince's school explained the work according to the prince's theory, Huang Lao's students listened mesmerized, and the faces of the other schools changed greatly, and they didn't know what to say.

After the three big brothers finished speaking, they slowly gave up their seats.

Ji An said again: "There are also sages from Shangfang Mansion who came to discuss this matter."

And this time it was Zhao Wan who appeared on the stage.

Seeing Zhao Wan, the faces of many Confucian scholars suddenly became even more ugly. They wanted to insult this traitor, but they didn't have the courage. He is now an official of the Shangfang Mansion. If you say that you can point at officials and yell at them, academics belong to academics, this rule is a rule, if you have the same official rank, you can do whatever you want, but now you are only white, and openly slandering a temple official, the consequences are not something they can afford.

Of course Zhao Wan also came up to add details, but he added it from Shang Fang's perspective.

He slowly talked about Shangfang's achievements, achievements, and brand-new plans in these days, many of which were unheard of by everyone.

Zhao Wan did not have the shame of being a traitor at all. At this moment, he was talking loudly, bearing in mind His Majesty's orders, and doing what he was best at. People like Zhao Wan, although they have some problems with high-mindedness and low-handedness, but this mouth is really capable. explain.

And many of the extremely professional knowledge he said, the students are too ignorant, they just think it sounds very powerful.

Already Huang Lao and disciples of the Mohist School have begun to take out pens and ink to record.

When he finished speaking, Confucianism held back a lot of energy, thinking about how to refute.

Sure enough, Ji An immediately asked the students what they thought.

At this moment, everyone was ready to go on stage, but Ji An looked at the people in front of him, but called a guy standing in front to the stage.

When this man came to power, the Confucians breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they looked down on this guy, they all knew his level, and this guy was Zheng Qi.

This is Shen Peigong's disciple, he is talented, and he should be able to make Confucianism proud.

Zheng Qi saluted with everyone, and then slowly talked about his thoughts.

"I, Mr. Huang, always support the Ministry of Industry's letter"

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was an uproar below.

What's the meaning?Huang Lao? ?Are you not a student of Confucianism? ?
Zheng Qi ignored the uproar below, but combined with Huang Lao's theories and propositions, took out those materials that were not valued by Confucian scholars at the beginning, and began to compare the changes brought about by new technologies in various places in detail, which is reasonable and well-founded!

The Confucian scholars couldn't bear it any longer.

Ji An is the former leader of Taixue, Su Fei and the others are great sages under the world-famous prince, Zhao Wan is an official of Shangfang, what are you?If they can't beat them, can't they beat you?
At this moment, the Confucian scholars immediately got up and interrupted him, and began to question him.

Zheng Qi is obviously not afraid. Faced with these questions, he answered them one by one. Unlike these empty talkers, he has a lot of information in his hand and speaks with facts. Confucian scholars who are not prepared can't fight him at all. , have been defeated.

"You come from a powerful background! You betrayed Confucianism! What can you think of such a villain? We don't bother to argue with you!"

When normal debates fail to win, attacks from birth often begin.

Zheng Qi's face darkened, and before he could answer, Ji An on the side said coldly: "If you have any criticisms about the disciples of my Huang's family, you can tell me directly. My Huang's family are all villains? Are you noble gentlemen?"

The old Huang disciples around couldn't sit still any longer, they all got up and scolded.

Whether in Dahan or Taixue, Huang Lao has an absolute advantage.

The status of the first prominent school has not changed.

In addition, the Mohist School, the Nong's School and other small schools are also on Huang Lao's side, and the momentum is so great that Confucianism cannot compete, especially Confucianism is not monolithic, and not all schools are against it.

Zheng Qi is obviously not fighting alone now, he has his own colleagues to come forward.

Things were far smoother than everyone thought, and Ji An immediately called on the Tai students to plead for the Ministry of Industry and asked the temple to accept the letter.

The Tai students cheered one after another.

Ji An narrowed his eyes lightly, it must be Chen Junhou, these Tai students were instigated by those villains in the past, and sharpened their swords for them. As soon as Chen Junhou came, he snatched them from those people's hands, no wonder If you insist on letting yourself come, with the public opinion offensive of these people at this moment, those officials who have been reluctant to accept it for a long time will be backlashed instead.

However, it's no wonder that those people want to use Tai students, these people are really easy to use.

Sangong under the prince's family left first.

When Zheng Qi was about to leave, Ji An stopped him.

Ji An looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of approval, "Your name is Zheng Qi, right?"

"You're very nice, you're thoughtful, you don't look like a young man. You used to be a Confucian scholar?"

"Hui Jigong, that's exactly the case. It's just because his ideas are not recognized that he just started to learn from Huang Lao."

"That's very good, let's see. From time to time, there will be gatherings in the Prince's Mansion, and the old talents in Chang'an will go there. Everyone will debate knowledge and show off their strengths. At the next gathering, you will go to participate. It will be good for you." Learning is of great help. When you first learn from Huang Lao, you should listen to these people’s lectures. There are many talents under the prince’s sect, and there are many sages.”

Ji An sent an excellent opportunity to Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi originally wanted to refuse. He just started to learn from Huang Lao, so how could he be qualified to participate in this kind of elite gathering?But he didn't know what he thought of, but he still had the guts to say, "Wei!!"

Ji An nodded, and left here.

When Ji An returned to the Ministry of Industry, Chen Mai was buried in his head, writing something.

Ji An didn't bother, just stood aside.

After a long time, Buyer Chen raised his head and asked, "It's done?"

"It's done. The Tai students supported the Ministry of Industry's letter. When I left, they had already started to gather to fight for the affairs of the Ministry of Industry."

Chen Mai sneered, "These people in the court just can't see the general trend, and they still want to use this method to deal with our Tai students today, which is different from the past. If they can use it, we can use it too. It is no longer up to them to see who uses the public opinion better, the newspaper alone is enough to make them untenable, and these students are now mainly princes."

Ji An hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to the Marquis. Before the Marquis, no one has ever used Tai students to counter them."

Chen Mai waved his hand, "These are trails, the general trend is there, and they cannot be stopped at all."

Ji An's attitude towards Chen Mai has changed, and he is extremely convinced, not only because of his strategies, but also because of his attitude in handling things. Ji An has never seen such a serious person, doing everything by himself, today's matter Never procrastinate until the next day, even if it is a small matter, you have to find out. It is a complete Legalist style, but it knows how to delegate power. It does not interfere with Chen Tao and others' affairs at all, and tries to create the best for them. To let them do things in a good environment, this is like Huang Lao.

Ji An felt that this is probably what a real capable minister is like.

Ji An said again: "Your Majesty also has friendship with Eighth Prince in the Prince's Mansion?"

"There is no friendship."

"Then why did they come to help today?"

"Probably because they are wise enough."

Chen Mai didn't care about those opponents at all. Like Liu Heng, he believed that this matter would definitely be done. When the other party launched a public opinion offensive, Chen Mai took over and quickly launched a bigger public opinion. The students began to support the Ministry of Industry one after another, and the public opinion in Chang'an turned to the Ministry of Industry. The Huang Laos rushed to tell each other and preached on the streets. The villain who opposes.

They immediately compromised, and were defeated in this aspect that they were best at, so naturally there was nothing they could do about it.

The next day, the temple held a court meeting again, and all the ministers passed it, and no one objected.

Liu Heng immediately announced the assessment system and various remuneration plans for craftsmen.

The ministers were a little dazed.

Yu Shigong really didn't pay attention to them. He had already prepared these things, and he didn't worry about whether he would agree to them at all.

Liu Heng was still very happy. Although he knew that this matter would be completed smoothly, he did not expect it to be so fast.

He looked at Chen Mai who was standing among the officials, his eyes softened a bit.

This man is still very powerful.

As expected of Qu Nihou.

After the court meeting ended, all the ministers left with their own thoughts, but Liu Heng followed Liu Chang.

The two brothers walked towards the Hall of Houde, Liu Heng couldn't help but said: "It's very correct that you transferred Chen Mai here. This person is quite like a father, and he has the shadow of Qu Ni Wenwenhou!"

Liu Chang laughed.

"He is the same person as Qu Ni Wenwenhou. He looks very serious and serious, but in fact he is full of bad water. What I am most looking forward to now is the return of the Taiwei. Seeing this person standing by my side, I don’t know how I feel in my heart!”

Liu Heng looked at his confused younger brother and reminded him, "Don't take the lead in causing conflicts among the officials."

"I know fourth brother, you don't know, I'm finally relieved that Chen Mai came here this time."

"Since the death of Qu Ni Wenwen Hou, I have been so cautious, very careful in everything, and dare not make any mistakes."

Liu Chang's tone suddenly became a little heavy.

Liu Heng let out a long sigh, and echoed, "Qu Ni Wenwenhou used to be the cornerstone of a great man. His strength and strategy, when he is around, the officials are not afraid of making mistakes."

"You don't need to be sad. Although Wenwenhou is gone, there are still a lot of talented people. They will look at you and advise you in time, and won't let you make any mistakes."

Liu Chang shook his head.

"I'm not afraid that no one will supervise, no one will take care of the aftermath, or that after his death, no one can take the blame for me!"

"This is great, no matter what happens in the future, I can rely on Chen Mai's head!!!"
