Big Han Weiyang

"Ah Shun, why are you so light? If you don't eat well, you won't grow up." I put him down, but he still didn't respond with a blank expression.

"Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you to return to the palace for dinner." Da Changqiu who was waiting in front of the palace came over and said.

"The widow knows, you tell the mother, the widow and the fourteenth brother change clothes and go." I took Liu Shun back to the room.The wooden floor on the corridor has been walked for a long time, and there is a cool and lubricating feeling that penetrates the bottom of the shoe.

The court ladies and eunuchs who come and go are all dressed in plain clothes, bowing their heads and walking.

Liu Shun's living room was still in front, and we passed a side room, and unconsciously caught the voices of two servant girls chatting.

"Well, others think that serving His Highness the Fourteenth is a good job. His Highness looks weak and generous, but in fact he has a very strong temper."

Liu Shun's little hand grasped mine tightly.I stopped the announcement from the maid at the door with my eyes.

"Isn't it? The last time a court lady made him unhappy, the end was really miserable."

"Stop talking, I've been terrified since that day."

"For such an end, what do you think they are fighting for?"

Liu Shun pursed his pale lips and looked up at me with tears glistening, almost crying again.

"Brother Ayue...I, I'm not like that..."

I helplessly pushed him into my arms, the youngest brother was made of water, he cried when he was happy, and when he was wronged.Happily, he is cute and sensible, which makes people feel distressed.When his sobs got better, I picked him up and patted his back.

The door is still talking.

"I used to think that the prince and King Jiaodong's personalities were scary, but now I know after comparing them, His Royal Highness the Fourteenth..."

I kicked the door open.

The two palace maids immediately fell silent. When they saw Liu Shun and me, they knelt down and became terrified: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Fourteenth..."

"Hand them over to Yongxiang Order and deal with them strictly." These two maids were too low in status, and I was too lazy to teach them personally, so I ordered the two guards behind me.The two palace goddesses were taken out with a miserable expression.

I kept patting Liu Shun on the back and carried him into the living room.Then call the maid to wash his face.

Liu Shun's eyes were a little swollen, and his eyelashes drooped.

Under the service of the maids, he took off his royal clothes and took off his crown, making him look even younger.

"Brother Ayue, Shun'er has a bad temper when he is sick. But don't hate me. I will control myself in the future and not lose my temper randomly." He said aggrieved.

"Which descendant of the Liu family has no temper, don't worry too much." I stepped forward and touched his hot face, straightened his body, stepped back and smiled, "Ah Shun, be stronger and straighten your chest. You But the fourteenth prince of the big man, His Highness Changshan King, how can you punish a few palace officials and fear others will chew their tongues. As long as they really deserve to be punished, you are right."

Several palace maids put on the moon-white uniform for him quietly and orderly, and fastened his girdle tightly.

"En! Shun'er must be strong!" Liu Shun nodded vigorously, "Then brother won't hate me because of this?" Liu Shun is really a child, tears come and go quickly, and his little face is shining with joy.

I smiled and shook my head.

"Great!" Liu Shun ran over from the couch, his eyes full of joy.The maid had just fastened the girdle, and the belt was still in her hand, and she tore it apart all of a sudden, hanging all over the floor.

====

After being the prince for nearly four years, there are many talents in my palace.

Gouli Lake was originally well-qualified, but with Li Danghu's dedicated teaching, he is even more outstanding.

Coupled with his good temper, he caught the eyes of several young officials and formed a small circle of brothers.Everyone changed his name from Xiongnu Zizi to Huns, and finally Ali, and encouraged me to give him a Chinese surname.

I said, after Gouli Lake has made great achievements, wouldn't it be more meaningful to use the fiefdom as the surname.

Juli Lake was a little happy to hear that, but also a little disappointed.

At the beginning of the year, several Xiongnu royal families came to surrender. Emperor Jing happily accepted them, and planned to designate them as princes to encourage the Huns to continue to surrender to the Han.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Zhou jumped out at the court meeting to stop them, saying that they betrayed their king and came to surrender to Han, but you made them Marquis.If infidelity can be rewarded, what position do you have in the future to blame the courtiers who betrayed the great man and surrendered?

The ministers were stunned.

The conflict between Prime Minister Zhou and Emperor Jing was not once or twice.This time, Emperor Jing completely lost interest in Prime Minister Zhou's advice, and drove him home to recover from his illness.

Thinking about it carefully, although Zhou Cheng's view of Zhong is absurd, it seems to have some truth, so I asked the Taifu.

The relationship between me and Taifu was really tense at the beginning.Rather than being both a teacher and a friend, it is better to say that he is both a teacher and an enemy.

I always thought that I lost a game that day, and I must find a chance to get it back.So I tried my best to learn everything he taught.I hope to find his weakness in his unintentional words, and then use this to beat him down and humiliate him.

However, he has a wide range of knowledge, teaches me wholeheartedly, and never hides his secrets.Slowly I forgot about it.The relationship between the two has been no different from that of ordinary teachers and students in recent years.

I knelt by the case and waited for his answer.

The Taifu smiled lightly after hearing this: "Prince, what Prime Minister Zhou said is naturally wrong. Loyalty needs to be divided into big and small."

"My big man is in the center of the earth, and the other small countries are surrounded by stars. The emperor is the son of heaven and rules the world. Everyone in the world is the emperor's subjects. Therefore, the loyalty of the Huns to Shan Yu is nothing more than petty loyalty. Return to my big man , is great loyalty. Prime Minister Zhou confuses big and small, and even thinks that small is more important than big, which is naturally not advisable."

Although the big Han seldom had the upper hand in the battles with the Xiongnu, the Han people believed in their hearts that the big Han was Zhengshuo, and the Huns were tough on the surface, but they actually thought they were inferior to the Han people.

For example, the royal family of the Huns was proud to marry Han women.The big man's marriage princess has always been selected from among the court ladies, and both the Han and the Huns are well aware of this.However, the Huns will still confess their marriage to the princess as if they have won a great honor.

The Great Han is the country of all nations, and the Emperor of Han is the master of the world.From ancient times to the present, from the Central Plains to the wilderness, there is not a single country and not a single commoner who does not recognize this point.

I ignored his big and small remarks for a while, and said excitedly: "What the Taifu said is exactly, the Huns were originally a branch separated from the Central Plains. One day, I will let the Huns return to the big man and become the sons of the big man again." civil."

The Taifu said: "It's good for the prince to have ambitions. It's just the day when the troops are dispatched. Don't forget to be sympathetic to the people."

I am willing to be taught.

The Taifu smiled and said: "Prince, the loyalty I mentioned just now is the loyalty in the eyes of the gentry and common people. Next, let's talk about the loyalty in the eyes of the emperor. Why does the prince think the emperor should respect the loyalty of his subjects?"

"Because this is a good character... No," I corrected, "it is to safeguard the imperial power."

"Exactly. Loyalty is because it can consolidate the imperial power. Prime Minister Zhou is loyal for the sake of loyalty, forgetting the root of the emperor's loyalty. For the emperor, this is like turning the sharp sword that helps him into a rope that binds his hands and feet The emperor is naturally not happy."

I thought for a while and asked: "Then the emperor's respect for morality does not lie in its own quality, but in whether it can govern the country and the people or consolidate the imperial power, right? The Tai Tuo has always taught me benevolence and righteousness. What should I do?"

Taifu laughed and said: "Good and evil are the branches and leaves, and benevolence and righteousness are the root. Have you ever thought about why the princes have only ruled the world with filial piety and benevolence, but none of them have ruled the world with kindness? Because the connotation of benevolence and filial piety is like the sea accepting all rivers, Tolerance is great. For the common people, it is difficult to distinguish whether there is conflict or not. People can see right through what is good and evil."

"The Taifu said that good and evil are easy to distinguish, so it is not suitable for use. But benevolence and righteousness are like water, which has no fixed form. It can be changed when the time is right and the way of the world. Therefore, it can last forever and become the way of governing the country, right? Just like Confucius As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will get better, and if you get better, you will last forever." I deduced from his words.

The Taifu was stunned: "Prince, after two years, I'm afraid I won't have anything to teach you."

I bowed and said, "Teacher, students still have a lot to learn from you."

I took this opportunity to raise Gouli Lake as a middle-class concubine, with a salary of four hundred stones, and added a few foreigners to the subordinate officials.Li Danghu, the half master of Juli Lake, was complacent for several days.

Emperor Jing, who had just reprimanded Zhou Taiwei for being pedantic, appreciated my actions.
