Chapter 360(1/2)

The wise men in Chang'an bully me were powerless and openly took the books and snatched the door.

This is the most true portrayal of Wang Ling now.

In the evening, Liu Chang suddenly came to the door and brought a lot of gifts. Wang Ling naturally didn't give him any good looks. Liu Chang also put forward his own idea and wanted to borrow a book from Wang Ling.

Wang Ling refused and scolded Liu Chang. When Wang Ling said angrily, "I have difficulty getting my legs and feet, and I can't get any books for you anymore." Liu Chang immediately reacted. He was quick-eyed and quick-witted, and did not talk nonsense. He directly knocked down four or five of Wang Ling's retainers, rushed into the inner room, held the books he needed and ran away. The speed was extremely fast. Zhang Buyi even prepared the car in advance, picked up the emperor and ran away.

This can no longer be considered stealing, it is open robbery!!

The great emperor and the third duke of the Han Dynasty actually robbed the ministers' books?

Faced with the emperor's robbery behavior, Wang Ling cursed loudly. When Liu Chang left his mansion, he could still hear Wang Ling's scolding from afar.

Liu An was very happy. For several days, he held the book without letting go, and took it with him wherever he went, reading it over and over again. This book is probably the family tradition of Wang Ling, the original Chu Wen version that he had never translated, and there were many comments, not only Wang Ling's comments, but also many comments from everyone who did not know the name of Liu An. These comments alone could allow Liu An to learn a lot.

Seeing that his son was so happy, Cao Shu's face was filled with a smile.

"Look at how you don't care about An on weekdays... I didn't expect that you could still remember the title of that book..."

"Ahem, actually, I didn't remember the title of the book. I just brought out all the best collections of Wang Ling's family, and asked Zhang Buyi to help me see which one was Huang Lao..."

Cao Shu gave Liu Chang a blank look and said, "Don't pretend to behave... I had to cough a few times before, and you almost sent the Southern Army general Xia Wujie to arrest him..."

Elder Liu blushed and shook his head disdainfully, "It's just a priest, why should I care about it?"

Liu An was addicted to the books and did not hear the words of the two people behind him. After reading for a moment, Liu An raised his head and asked curiously: "Father! How did you convince Wang Xiang?"

"Uh... I was the main one at that time... I begged sincerely, and then I discussed martial arts with his retainers... and showed them my carriage... and borrowed it."

Liu An suddenly realized and slapped his knees suddenly, "Yes, you can grab them! Why didn't I expect it!"

"Liu An!!"

Cao Shu narrowed her eyes and recited Liu An's full name heavily. At that moment, Liu An trembled and quickly scolded him, "Father! How can you treat a meritorious minister like this? Can a gentleman rob others of things? Is this a behavior that conforms to etiquette?"

Liu Chang was stunned. Before he could answer, Cao Shu cursed again: "Zhu Zi! How dare you say that to you! Didn't your father go there for you? You have no conscience!!"

Liu An pursed his lips and looked at Cao Shu with complexity.

He really didn't know what to say, and he couldn't say it right, or he couldn't say it wrong. You couple are in the same group, right?

Looking at his poor son, Liu Chang suddenly felt a little distressed and said to Cao Shu: "Don't be angry, it's okay. Just beat him later, don't get angry... You have been unwell these days, but if you really can't do it, let me fight for it... lest you beat him and get tired of yourself..."

"His Majesty...."

"Queen..."

The couple was warm and affectionate, and Liu An turned around and left, waiting for me to go to my eldest mother to sue you!

Just as Liu Chang was about to continue adding fresh blood to the royal family, Zhao Mei walked in.

"Your Majesty! Not good! Something big happened!"

Zhao Mei looked a little frightened.

"Get out! I still have important things to do!"

"Your Majesty, this is a big deal, and it cannot be delayed!"

"Today, it's Afu's Changling that exploded. I also want to enter the emperor in this hall..."

Cao Shu pinched her sharply, and Liu Chang was interrupted immediately. He screamed in pain and looked at Zhao Mei helplessly. His squinting eyes were filled with danger. Zhao Mei knew that he had been hated by this petty emperor, but he had no choice but to report such a big deal.

"Tell me, why are you doing standing there?! What a big deal? Did Maodun resurrect or Chen Ping rebelled?"

"The prince has not eaten for two days..."

Zhao Mei lowered his head and replied helplessly.

Liu Chang was furious immediately, "He didn't eat for two days, what are you looking for to me? Go and find a kitchen?"

Cao Shu pinched his waist again, and Liu Chang finally calmed down, "Okay, okay, take me over... I won't stuff my flesh into it today..."

"His Majesty!!"

Cao Shu said angrily: "The prince is an important minister, and you have been the first to do so. How can you do this? You must apologize to him seriously and not act rudely, otherwise I will tell the Queen Mother."

The intimidation of any words is probably not as good as the last sentence.

Under the intimidation of the empress dowager, Liu Chang decided to meet Wang Ling. Wang Ling didn't like Liu Chang very much. No, it should be said that he hated Liu Chang very much, but this is also very normal. After all, Wang Ling never liked anyone.

Wang Ling’s only friend is Yongchi. Yes, it is A’s father of Mrs. Yong today.

As for the others... Wang Ling was not very close to Liu Bang, and decided to join him because his biological mother was cooked by Xiang Yu. He didn't like Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and even openly insulted them. He didn't like Empress Lu, and dared to openly say bad things about her. He didn't even like Zhou Chang, thinking that he was greedy for fame... But Empress Lu was still very friendly to him and never told Liu Chang once that Wang Ling was actually easy to get along with when she was young.

As a disciple of a big clan, you can even get along well with your father. Your father respects him as much as his brother.

Until... his biological mother committed suicide and her body was cooked by Xiang Yu.

Wang Ling's entire person became different from the past.

When Liu Chang came to Wangling's mansion carefully, he heard Wang Ling cursing at his guests. No matter how they persuaded him, he just refused to eat. When Wang Ling was even more angry when he saw Liu Chang walk in, he was blowing his beard, as if he was about to be angry to death in the next moment. Liu Chang grinned and said, "Prince... Are you safe?!"

"you...."

Wang Ling pointed at Liu Chang, gritting his teeth and was about to curse, but Liu Chang sat next to him and grabbed his hand directly.

"Prince...why? That book is useless to keep it here for you. If the prince reads it, maybe he will not be as stupid as I do in the future?"

Wang Ling thought that what the foolish lord said was actually somewhat reasonable.

But he was still very angry, "Take it without warning... No, rob it, this is an act of breaking the law! Why is Your Majesty..."

Wang Ling didn't know what to say about Liu Chang's behavior, but Liu Chang was very calm. He asked: "I set up a bookstore and asked everyone to offer their own books and distribute them to the people of the world. Why are there no books in these books? Do you just look down on the world and only value yourself? Don't you want to benefit the world, but just want to read them secretly? Is this the behavior of a gentleman?!"

Liu Chang was very skillful in turning the tables, and Wang Ling couldn't speak at all.

"Prince...I have ordered the severance of the corvee service."

Just as Wang Ling was about to get sick, Liu Chang immediately said this, instantly calming Wang Ling's anger.

"You stopped?"

"For... I'm afraid of affecting the autumn harvest, and the scale of corvee labor of millions of people is indeed a bit too large... In the future, the road is also planned to be built in sections, and no longer gather so many manpower at the same time..."

Seeing the tyrant suddenly speaking, Wang Ling was still a little uncomfortable.

"Then why didn't you..."

"The Qin State built Chi Dao, and many people died... People are dead. No matter what kind of benevolent politics I take, they cannot survive. The foundation left by Qin State has been destroyed by most of the time. If I could repair it, perhaps the people who died in Qin State who built Chi Dao would not die worthless... Their descendants can still enjoy their achievements... The Chi Dao was damaged very quickly. In another ten years, there would probably be no chance of repairing it... It can only be turned into a record in a book."

"A tyrant is a tyrant... Being a tyrant who gives people all the world food and a house is better than being a wise king who can only talk big and have no practical work..."

"What do you think of the prince?"

Wang Ling was silent for a long time, but did not directly answer Liu Chang's inquiry.

“Sometimes, what you do may not be as you think.”

"I don't know how many accidents and errors will occur in the corvee service of millions of people, and how many of these things will be passed to your ears... When governing a great country, you must be cautious. Every time you issue an order to execute your order, you are living people... Your order can determine the fate of hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of families... Do you understand?"

"I see."

"Okay, that book will be given to the prince... Your Majesty can tell the prince after he goes back, so there is no need to persuade me again in the future."

Wang Ling looked at Liu Chang for a while and said, "The prince is virtuous."

Liu Chang grinned, "Father-like!"

Wang Ling finally had food, and Liu Chang also took the opportunity to take out the Enlightenment Textbook and told him that Wang Ling's idea was the same as Zhao Ping, and Zhang Buyi should not be allowed to be responsible for this matter. According to Wang Ling's idea, it is best not to leave this matter to someone or a certain school, because this has a great impact and cannot be monopolized by any force. It is best to join forces to carry out it together.

Even if you gather great sages in the school, you have to write from multiple schools and must not become the product of a certain school.

But Liu Chang also had his own helplessness in this regard. At present, Confucianism is the most active in this matter, including the enlightenment of Confucianism. The writing of textbooks may be mainly Confucianism, and it is not realistic to convene hundreds of schools of thought to write them. The theories of each school are different. When they meet, the first thing they do is to quarrel and fight, rather than to write them calmly.

Wang Ling laughed and stroked his beard, "Who said that different schools cannot coexist?"

"Oh? Do you have any thoughts?"

"Lu Jia."

"Lu Jia??What does this matter have to do with Mr. Lu?"

Wang Ling glanced at Liu Chang and said angrily, "Lu Jia first governed Confucianism, then learned from Huang Lao, and then studied law... He was very accomplished in these three schools. His works include the ideas of these three schools, which were integrated into him... If you want to enlighten the world, why don't you find this person first?!"

The boss is worthy of being a boss. Wang Ling's words made Liu Chang jump excitedly.

These days, he has been thinking about this issue, but he didn't expect that the ready-made candidate was right in front of him. Liu Chang said again: "And Jia Yi, Jia Yi is also a Confucian, Legal, and Huang Lao... Both of them can do it!"

"Jia Yi is too young, Lu Jia is just right."

Liu Chang didn't expect that the old man in front of him could give him such surprises. He asked again: "By the way, Lu Jia is now in the Western Regions, and he is on missions to various countries. His intention is to make these small countries submit to the Han Dynasty and become vassal states under the name of the Han Dynasty... But I think it's inappropriate... First, there are too many small countries, and second, they can't directly manage... I want to set up counties, but Hexi is still in ruins, so how can I manage the Western Regions... there are far and big..."

"Your Majesty can be granted."

"Oh, it's not that easy... Now that I'm going to attack those small countries, I'm afraid it will cause another war... Besides, if you enfeoff people to the Western Regions, this is a punishment..."

Liu Chang scratched his head, not knowing how to do it for a moment.

Wang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "There were a few small countries that had originally defected to the Xiongnu, except for them... a small part of their land was distributed to the small countries that defected to the Han Dynasty, and the rest were integrated to form several relatively large vassal states... and then from the royal family, a young man who was not qualified to inherit the position of the princes but was close to you... a young man with great ambitions and talent... comes..."

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, and a candidate suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Well... I'll ask his father first, and then look at him... If he wants to, he's a good candidate."
To be continued...
