Liu Chang sat happily with his former ministers. Compared with getting along with those ministers, Liu Chang still misses the time with the ministers. The days at that time were really pleasant. Although the government affairs are now

Responsibilities were assigned to the ministers, but Liu Chang still had to pay attention to the situation in various places and the movements of the ministers, which was not truly free and happy.

It was also rare for the housemates to get together and excitedly chatted about the past.

"Zhang Buyi! Don't you open your mouth, you are your Majesty. Your Majesty today is only the Emperor and the Queen Mother! You are ruining the reputation of the king by shouting like this!"

Zhao Ping started a group as soon as he arrived and pointed the finger directly at Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi did not hide it, and said proudly: "Your Majesty is the only one today!"

If you don't look at his bruised nose and swollen face, these words are quite powerful. Although Ji Bu is older, Zhang Buyi still can't beat him.

Regarding the matter of Liu Chang's rebellion, everyone in the house had their own opinions.

Zhao Ping was helpless, "Your Majesty...how can you rebel just because you say you are rebelling?"

"That's right, you should at least tell me. I'm not ready yet... so you did the opposite."

Zhang Buyi followed.

Zhao Ping glared at him and cursed: "It's because of people like you who came to confuse the king that the king did such a thing!"

Comparing these two people, Ji Bu was much calmer, as if he had expected it, "Your Majesty was also forced to do this... You cannot blame your Majesty for this matter. The dispute in the temple is very urgent. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the kings and

In the temple, among the ministers... If this continues, chaos will occur sooner or later. Now that the king is in power, these things will not cause any trouble."

"Zhao Gong, you should know this... Among other things, it is the fight between the Queen Mother and the ministers... If the king does not take action, what will happen in the future? Maybe the southern army and the northern army will fight, and then the princes will

Raise troops...The world, which finally got a chance to breathe, will soon fall into turmoil."

Ji Bu's few words left Zhao Ping speechless. He nodded and acknowledged Ji Bu's words. However, he did not think that rebellion was the best solution. He sighed: "I'm afraid

Future generations will not know these things, and the king will bear a lot of bad reputation..."

Liu Changquan didn't care, and said with a smile: "No problem, when I am about to die, I will burn all the books recording these things, find a cowardly Taishi Ling, and let him record it according to what I said.

alright!"

Luan Bu raised his head and sighed, why did I go to deliver the letter in the first place?

"The king wants to burn books, why don't he bury a few alchemists to help him?"

Zhao Ping said in a sarcastic tone.

When it comes to yin and yang strange energy, we have to look at the Tang Dynasty’s family, each of which is a direct descendant of the yin and yang family.

Liu Chang laughed, "I happen to know a few alchemists, and they are busy all day trying to offer me some auspicious blessings. In Chang'an, I fought with Shusun Tong head-to-head, and my head was broken... I couldn't help it.

I looked over and saw that Shusun Tong's head had been wrapped around several times..."

"Um...is it really a beating?"

"Yes, Shu Sun Tong couldn't defeat Liu Jing during the court meeting, and he couldn't beat him, so he bit him hard... Sometimes, I can't tell whether they are ministers or Ruyi, anyway, they are making trouble

It's so powerful that I don't pay attention to it... If they let them make trouble, the man named Gongsun Chen got into a fight with Wude, and Prime Minister Zhang was killed. You should really see Prime Minister Zhang debate!"

"Since Prime Minister Zhang is gone, won't Gongsun Chen be defeated even more completely?"

"No, Mr. Zhang, although he talked happily with the widows, was eloquent and eloquent, and deceived them, but when he met Gongsun Chen, he couldn't explain it at all. He hesitated and was ignored by Gongsun Chen.

He immediately scolded him and his face turned red..."

"ah?"

Several people in the house were a little surprised. Luan Bu said: "Then this alchemist named Gongsun Chen is very eloquent!"

"It's pretty good, so I didn't even meet or talk to him, for fear of being deceived by him!"

Zhao Ping sighed with emotion: "Xiang Zhang was actually speechless by an alchemist... Alas, Prime Minister Zhang has been wronged."

"He has suffered such grievances. When I talk about this matter, I get very angry. He couldn't stand up to Gongsun Chen, so he hooked up with his wife. If I hadn't sent Xiu Yi to keep an eye on Gongsun Chen, I would have

Don't even know... Then Gongsun Chen proudly said that Prime Minister Zhang was nothing more than that... Everyone felt distressed when they saw him... What Prime Minister Zhang did was really an act of a villain! If you go too far to bully others, one day

He was stabbed by Gongsun Chen, and no one was surprised..."

Several people in the house were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Luan Bu raised his head again and sighed, why did our Confucian family have such a person?

Liu Chang did not treat the monks as outsiders. Facing these absolute confidants, he could complain about things in the temple with confidence.

"That's it, Prime Minister Zhang. The other ministers are not reassuring. Zhou Chang is too upright and stubborn. He can't communicate normally at all. He is just one-sided... I asked him to improve the exchange of grain as soon as possible.

What happened to Jue, turned out that he really stopped eating and drinking, worked hard day and night, and fainted on the fourth day... I was so frightened that I quickly went to visit and asked him not to be in such a hurry..."

"I have almost been charged with killing an old minister...I don't dare to talk about Kuai Che now. I'm afraid that the old prime minister will really throw him into the cauldron!"

“I don’t know where my father found such a Geng person in the first place.”

"Chen Ping is okay, he has helped me a lot, but he only cares about things and doesn't care about people. The officials in the young mansion are about to start fighting, and he can still have tea leisurely...sometimes, maybe,

I really want to find a bucket of tea, so I will stuff it into his mouth!"

"Chao Cuo and another young man named Yuan had a very loud quarrel..."

"After the death of Prime Minister Xiao, there were not many reliable officials left in the dynasty. Fortunately, my brothers except Ruyi are all relatively reliable..."

The topic gradually came to the princes and kings. Luan Bu suddenly remembered something, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think you should go to Jibei County to meet the King of Qi."

Liu Chang's face froze, "Didn't you say that my eldest brother has recovered a lot?"

"King Qi is fine...there is something wrong with Qi State."

Hearing that his eldest brother was fine, Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What can happen to Qi Guo?"

Luan Bu had a cold face and said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty's son, You Zixiang, is not like a human king. Ever since the King of Qi became seriously ill, the Qi State has become more and more wrong. The merchants from the Tang State who went to the Qi State,

They all complained that the soldiers of Qi State were embarrassing them, asking for money from them, and robbing merchants... Most of the iron tools previously lent to Qi State were inexplicably missing after they were delivered to Qi State. This was all done by Qi State.

It started after Wang became seriously ill, and I think this was all done by Liu Xiang."

"Liu Xiang did it?? This is impossible!"

Liu Chang frowned, "I know him very well. This guy is far less capable than his younger brother in doing things, but he is definitely not someone who can do such a thing..."

"If it weren't for him, then there would be something wrong with the prime minister."

"Who is the Prime Minister of Qi State?"

"Cao Cheng."

"Um??"

"How can he be the prime minister?"

"Um...because he has two sisters?"

Liu Chang scratched his head. He also knew Cao Cheng's character. This man was relatively honest. He was different from his father, and he didn't seem like someone who could do such a thing. But Luan Bu said seriously: "I and

The King of Qi also said this, and the King of Qi also thought it was impossible... Your Majesty, if it is not the King of Qi, then there must be a traitor around the King of Qi. If this person is not eliminated, I am afraid that sooner or later, the Qi Kingdom will be in great trouble.

"

"Well... then I will go to Jibei County. In these years, I have not been to Jibei to see my elder brother, and then I will go to Qi State to see what is going on."

Liu Chang made a decision, skipped the matter, and complained to the housemates again.

Everyone sat there until very late and then left.

The next day, Liu Chang only took Luan Bu with him, and asked the others to return to Tang Kingdom first. Everyone except Zhang Buyi obeyed Liu Chang's decision, and Zhang Buyi wanted to follow him.

, but Liu Chang asked with a smile: "We are going by boat this time... Do you really want to come with me?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Buyi realized why the king had abandoned him. After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Buyi decided to return to Tang Kingdom and wait for the king to arrive.

When Liu Chang was leaving, he told them: "Be prepared when you go back and tell the captain that the big man is short of food again! After I go back, I can borrow some food from my neighbors to tide over the difficulties!"

...

Jibei County, as a county in the Tang Dynasty, underwent significant changes after integrating the local Qifeng.

Here, you can often see scribes wearing barbarian costumes and Qi swords, speaking the Analects in a mixed accent, which is very inconsistent. In the eyes of Qi people outside Jibei, this

It's simply nondescript, Jibei has become a barbarian land!

As an intermediate station for the Tang Dynasty's trade with the South, commercial activities here are very prosperous, and there are many people coming and going. Coupled with the recent free entry and exit order issued by Liu Chang, the flow of people here has reached a terrifying level, densely packed,

In ancient times, Yanzi from the State of Qi went to the State of Chu. When faced with the questioning of the King of Chu, he once said: "When Qi came to Linzi, there were three hundred villages, and the clothes were spread like yin, and the sweat turned into rain, and they were standing shoulder to shoulder."

These words may have been an exaggeration at the time, but they are more appropriate when used to describe Jibei County today.

In order not to affect the commercial activities here, Liu Chang did not engage in exaggerated ceremonials and dressed very simply, wearing only gold and silver brocade clothes.

This is already very simple for the king. After all, ordinary kings would like to stick their imperial robes on their bodies and would not be willing to take them off.

In these years, many people left Jibei and went to other areas of the Tang Dynasty, and many people came from other areas and arrived in Jibei. Therefore, the scene of Hu and Han living together was formed. In addition, the original situation here

The strong academic atmosphere in the country caused many barbarians from outside the Great Wall to start quoting classics and allusions to sell things, pretending that they were very educated.

All this... is really too much for Liu Chang's taste!

At this moment, Liu Chang stood in front of a merchant and started an unprecedented debate.
