Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 890 How dare you be rude
"This guy is going to replace the entire Ritual Department???"

When Liu Chang heard the news, he was a little startled. After thinking for a while, he sat down again.

"Well, Zhidu wants to rectify the entire temple, to kill chickens and monkeys. Forget it, let him change, don't waste those original officials, and see where there is still a shortage of people, like the Northwest Three Kingdoms, Xia Kingdom, and others. Places like Funan should be given priority!"

Dou Guangguo seemed a little dissatisfied with Zhidu's approach, "Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. How can these nearly a hundred officials be changed at will? Besides, will the newly recruited people be able to do better than the current officials? ?”

"I don't know if it's done well, anyway, they don't dare to neglect government affairs anymore."

Dou Guangguo was speechless, and immediately didn't know how to refute.

Lu Lu patted Dou Guangguo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Since Zhidu dared to do this, he must have his own ideas. He is different from Chao Cuo. He must think carefully before doing things. You don't know him well yet. , and rest assured!"

Liu Chang stood up and stretched his body.

"Well, you two should keep an eye on this matter, anyway, just don't let Zhidu cause any trouble."

Liu Chang ordered, and set off to go out.

Lu Lu quickly grabbed him, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Oh, I'm going to check on the people's situation."

Soon, Liu Chang took the bow and arrow, and got into the carriage, and it was not Lu Lu who drove him today, but Zhang Buyi.

Regarding Liu Chang's behavior of asking Zhang Buyi to drive, Dou Guangguo expressed some confusion. Isn't it inappropriate to ask the majestic Han Guoxiang to drive for him?But Lu Lu stopped him, don't say any more, if you say more, Zhang Buyi should beat you up!
Zhang Buji was very excited about being able to drive for the emperor.

He even changed into a coachman's attire, just to be able to better drive for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am able to drive for you today, and I will show you my driving skills. This time, I will go to Shanglin Garden to inspect the people's conditions. No matter what you are planning to inspect, I will definitely catch up! I guarantee that you will be able to hit it with one arrow." !!"

Dou Guangguo took a deep breath, lowered his head and did not speak.

If this word reaches Sima Xi's ears, His Majesty will really have a bad reputation for thousands of years. It will be recorded in the history books that the emperor of the Han Dynasty went out to inspect the people's conditions, ordered people to chase the people with a carriage, and then shot them with a bow. This is even worse than King Zhou. King Zhou.

Before the two of them could say anything more, Zhang Buyi drove Liu Chang out of the palace with his car.

The horse-drawn carriage was driving on the road at a dissatisfied speed, but it was exceptionally stable, which surprised Liu Chang, and he praised: "Your driving skills are much better than Lu Lu's, why didn't I know your driving skills are so good before?" ?”

Zhang Buyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I didn't have good driving skills in the past. You said that you wanted to go hunting with me, so I started to practice my driving skills hard. I just didn't want to make Your Majesty suffer. It's not easy for Your Majesty to come out. It must be worthy of His Majesty's bravery!!"

"Okay!"

"The virtuous subject of this big man is only you!!"

Liu Chang praised repeatedly.

The two passed through Chang'an all the way, Liu Chang was not in a hurry to go to Shanglin Garden, he and Zhang Buyi came out privately to discuss some matters with him.

The carriage drove slowly in Chang'an like this. Zhang Buyi was in charge of rebuilding the entire Chang'an before, and at this moment he was also working hard to explain his plan to Liu Chang.

"Your Majesty, the entire internal history area is overcrowded. In Chang'an alone, there are more than 50 registered people. Including those who come to do business, study, and work, the number can directly exceed one million. This is a The level of the vassal state, with so many people gathered in Chang'an, congestion is inevitable. Therefore, I decided to expand the scope of Chang'an, making several surrounding counties the suburban counties of Chang'an. In addition, large-scale reconstruction of the roads in the city Augment."

Liu Chang listened very seriously. He looked at the road in the distance and said with a smile, "But the road is still blocked."

"This minister really has no choice."

"It's okay, I can't blame you for this, I can only think about overpasses or underground passages in the future. The Dahan's road is still too simple. I will get some design drawings later, and you will hand them over to those in the Ministry of Industry. "

"only!!"

Sitting on the carriage, Liu Chang suddenly asked, "No doubt, what kind of king do you think I am?"

Zhang Buyi was taken aback, "Why does Your Majesty ask such a question?"

Liu Chang shook his head, "Unknowingly, I am getting older, decades have passed, and I don't know how much contribution I have made. Whether it is good or bad, I asked other ministers, but they are afraid of me. I don’t dare to tell the truth, I know that you Zhang Busu is an upright person, you have always been upright, and you don’t know how to tell nonsense, so I came here to ask you, what kind of king do you think I am?”

"You have to tell the truth, you can't tell lies!"

Zhang Buyi's expression froze, "Your Majesty, that minister is telling the truth!"

"Say it! I will never be angry!"

"Your Majesty is the first perfect man in the world!!!"

Zhang Buyi said loudly: "Your Majesty's contribution to the great man is something that I can't finish at all. In order to teach Your Majesty to know, in order to remember His Majesty's kindness, I specially wrote an article called Shenglue. Your majesty's merits, but, your majesty's merits can't be written down. I have been writing for many years, and the omissions have piled up like a mountain. Every time I move it, I need a dozen people to come to help. Even so much paper, I can't finish it If your majesty is curious about the merits of your majesty, you can go to your home with your ministers and watch for yourself!!"

"Ah?? You wrote so much in St. John's??"

Liu Chang widened his eyes.

Zhang Buyi said with a pious face: "The minister wrote all the things from his birth to the present without authorization. Your Majesty was born extraordinary. When he was born, the Chang'an earthquake was caused by crying, and the prison cell collapsed. You can speak at the age of two, you are no different from adults when you are less than two years old, you can speak at the age of three, and you can know how to be filial to the Queen Mother at the age of four. I write about your majesty. The more you write, the more you will admire your majesty. I am not devout enough to write about His Majesty's wisdom."

Liu Chang burst into laughter immediately, "Okay, very good, you can continue writing! If you have anything you want to know, just ask me, and I will tell you the truth!"

Zhang Buyi continued: "In fact, you don't need to ask the ministers about your majesty's merits, you only need to ask the world."

"Have the common people in today's world been terrified by the looting of foreign enemies? Have a large number of disaster victims been starved to death? Have some people been unable to wear clothes in winter? Your Majesty has completed these three things, and nothing else needs to be said. He is already a saint in the world."

"Even Yao, Shun and Yu are nothing compared to you."

"Confucianism has always boasted about the sage kings of the past, but under the governance of the ancient sage kings, there are still people who starve to death and freeze to death, but His Majesty encourages farming, develops technology, improves tools, and conquers poisonous places for the Central Plains. Transporting food kept the Han people from starvation. Planting cotton, paying tribute, and mining coal kept the people from being hurt by the cold winter, defeated the surrounding enemies, made the barbarians the Chinese, and eliminated wars outside the Great Wall. Since ancient times, Only you have achieved these three points."

Liu Chang stroked his beard proudly, because he was so proud that he almost pulled out his own beard.

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense!"

"I've said it a long time ago, you are the most upright in the court, and they don't even believe you if you can tell the truth."

The two came to Shanglin Garden all the way, bypassing the land leased to the common people, and walked towards the deepest point.

The knights stationed here noticed the person coming, and immediately followed behind them as guards.

Zhang Buyi showed his driving ability to the fullest in Shanglin Garden. Under his control, the carriage was like walking on the ground. Liu Chang stood up and kept shooting. Liu Chang hadn't been so happy hunting for a long time. Because the carriage is stable, his shooting skills have improved a lot. Shooting all the way, the harvest is not small. Although he didn't encounter any big beasts, the harvest is still much more than in the past.

This made Liu Chang even happier, and immediately said that he would take these things to Zhang Buyi's mansion, and the two hosted a banquet to eat! !

At this moment, at the border between Dunhuang County and Xiting Kingdom.

Liu Qi rode a tall horse and looked into the distance triumphantly.

Since Zhi Du left, there are only Dou Ying and a few confidant ministers left here, and most of the rest are Hu ministers. At present, many domestic affairs are handed over to Dou Ying.

Dou Ying is a man with a loyal face, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes that have been inherited from the Dou family, and he is also riding a horse, just behind Liu Qi.

Dou Ying is not very old, but he has already demonstrated his abilities in many aspects. Whether it is war or internal affairs, he can handle everything. In these years, he has been Zhidu's deputy, and the two have cooperated. Xiting Kingdom has done a lot of things, and Liu Qi loves him very much, and often entrusts him with the most important things. After Xia Houzao left, he became the captain of Xiting Kingdom. But now, Zhidu's errands also fell on him. He did a good job and won the admiration of everyone.

Liu Qi looked into the distance, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

"Brother, I originally wanted you to be the Prime Minister of the country when I played for Father Zhong. I don't know who in the court interfered with it. It must be someone who is not well-known to be the Prime Minister. It is said that this person is very young. Not as old as me. Father Zhong must have been deceived by a traitor!"

Dou Ying looked very calm. He said, "Since he was sent by the temple, he must be someone with outstanding talents. Your Majesty, don't think so, let alone be rude to him."

Liu Qichang sighed, "I see, don't worry, I won't be rude when he comes, but the Yushifu also sent an envoy to check the situation here. This is simply Ridiculous, I can treat the Prime Minister sent by Father Zhong with courtesy, but for this envoy, I must let him know the benefits!"

Liu Qi said deliberately, and then looked at the expressions of the veterans around him.

Suddenly, a Prime Minister was airborne from the temple. He was still a very young Prime Minister. If he didn’t handle it well, it would cause opposition from the ministers in the country. The problem was serious, therefore, Liu Qi deliberately showed a very reluctant appearance, just to appease the hearts of these veterans.And now it seems that they have no reluctance to the order of the temple.

Dou Ying persuaded again: "Your Majesty can't do this, after all, you are the envoy of the temple."

"It wasn't sent by Father Zhong. I didn't celebrate the Son of Heaven's Day. This is clearly the villain in the court trying to intimidate me. I have Father Zhong's backing, so can I be afraid of these people? There are some ministers in the court who always feel that I have no When I first came here, they didn’t say anything about the qualifications to be a king. Now that the Xiting Kingdom has become stronger, they start to pick on my fault and say that I should be dismissed!! I insist on showing them , Can Xiting Kingdom lose me!"

Dou Ying wanted to say something else, but Liu Qi blinked at him, "Brother, don't worry, I have already told Father Zhong about these things. Father Zhong has said everything, let me give the messenger a hard time, come out He is responsible for what happened!"

Dou Ying frowned, "My lord, I think"

Before Dou Ying finished speaking, a group of people and horses appeared in the distance. There were hundreds of soldiers clearing the way. Liu Qi suddenly disdainful, "Oh, those who don't know this posture think it's me. Father is here!"

Surrounded by soldiers, the new Prime Minister came to Liu Qi on horseback.

Liu Qi looked at the new Prime Minister in front of him, and hurriedly dismounted with a smile, as if he wanted to lead the horse for others, but the master father Yan couldn't sit still immediately, and dismounted likewise.

"I pay homage to the king!"

"You don't have to dismount, please let me lead the horse for you and take you into the city."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The master father saluted Liu Qi again and again, Liu Qi took his hand kindly, and introduced the ministers behind him to him. He still showed enough respect to these veterans. See you one by one. Liu Qi was satisfied when he saw that he was so knowledgeable. There are also envoys from Yushifu!"

Liu Qi didn't pay attention to this at all, he yelled loudly: "I came here today to welcome the Prime Minister!"

"No Son of Heaven Festival, why call it an envoy?"

Liu Qi walked towards the city with his arms around Master Yan, and many ministers followed him, ignoring the envoys behind him.

But at this moment, suddenly a soldier rushed in front of Liu Qi, bowed to him, and then said: "The envoy has an order, let the king go and meet him!"

Liu Qi was furious, "He came to inspect the situation in the country, so let him see for himself. Do I have to be supervised by him? Except for the governor, who dares to ask me to cooperate?"

Liu Qi pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and led the father Yan back to the city.

But at this time, Dou Ying felt something was wrong and left quietly.

Soon, everyone appeared in the county government office in the city. Liu Qi sat on the top seat, took the hand of the master father Yan kindly, and told him the specific situation of Xiting Kingdom. He talked very excitedly. When Dou Ying was introduced to him, he was surprised to find that Dou Ying was not here.

Liu Qi asked curiously, "Where is Dou Guowei?"

"Your Majesty, he has gone to meet the envoys."

"Hahaha, he is still as cautious as ever! No problem, let them come to see me!"

Naturally, Liu Qi didn't think about the seriousness of the matter. At this moment, he was still holding Zhufuyan's hand, explaining the domestic situation and the things he wanted him to do enthusiastically. Zhufuyan listened very carefully, and from time to time He gave his own opinion, and what surprised Liu Qi was that this father-in-law did not seem to rely on flattery to hold such an important position. He really has real materials. He just came here , gave very good advice on the situation here.

Liu Qi was very happy. Unexpectedly, after leaving Zhidu, he gained such a talented person, and this person is still quite young. After a lot of hard work, he might not be weaker than Zhidu!

Just when Liu Qi was thinking about how to win over the Prime Minister, Dou Ying lowered her head and appeared in front of Liu Qi.

Dou Ying's face looked ugly, he quietly walked to Liu Qi's side, and tugged the king.

"My lord, come out with me quickly."

"Huh? What happened?"

"Don't ask too much. Please follow me"

Liu Qi noticed that Dou Ying's complexion was very bad, so he didn't ask any more questions. He hurriedly got up, followed Dou Ying and walked out. When he walked out of the county office, Liu Qi couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a slap came to his face, and Liu Qi was stunned by the crisp sound.

He looked ahead and saw the angry Mrs. Dou.

"Mom????"

Liu Qi hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and he was sure that the person standing in front of him was his mother. He was completely stunned. What's going on? ?Why did my mother appear in front of me? ?

Mrs. Dou looked quite angry, "Why, you still want me to visit you? Can you bear it?!"

"what???"

Liu Qi suddenly figured it out, "Father asked you to be the envoy?"

Madam Dou was about to attack again, but Dou Ying hurriedly stood in front of Liu Qi, "Auntie, please don't do anything to give the king some face."

"If I didn't give him face, I would have rushed in and beat him up!"

"Well, you Liu Qi, your father told me that you have become very reckless and arrogant. You don't pay attention to the temple and act recklessly. I still don't believe it. I know it today. You treat the envoys like this. With such an attitude, do you want to rebel?!"

Liu Qi wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Mother, listen to my explanation, Father Zhong asked me to do this, no, Father and Father Zhong conspired together."

"You still dare to quibble?! I will break your leg today!!"

In the side hall of the county government office, Liu Qi and Dou Ying sat kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed. Mrs. Dou was sitting in front of them. Since King Wu's wife died in depression, Mrs. Dou took over the position of queen , because the original Queen Lu died of illness, so the prince of Wu was not abolished.

Mrs. Dou shook her head in disappointment, "Qi, I thought you were the most promising, but I didn't expect that a little achievement made you like this. From now on, I will live here, I want to see Do things for you. Keep an eye on you for your father!!"
