Chapter 516 My brother Yafu has the talent to be a general(1/2)
"Ah Father."
Liu Chang, who was about to walk out, looked at Liu An who was blocking him with a look of suspicion. Why did this guy come in again?
Did he know that he would secretly eat beef with Cao Shu later?
Liu Chang looked alert, Liu An looked at his father in a complicated manner, hesitated for a long time, and bowed to him.
"Father, thank you!"
Liu Chang was stunned, "What do you thank me?"
"Father, Mr. Jia has told me that you are anxious to do these things and are unwilling to let me bear the bad reputation."
"Uh... there is no such thing. I just want to do more things. You can't solve this kind of thing!"
Chang Liu waved his hand and said disdainfully.
Liu An seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth several times but couldn't say what he was in his heart. At this time, he always envied his younger brothers. They could always express all their feelings honestly, not so difficult, not so entangled. He is no longer a child. At this age, it seems that it becomes a bit difficult to express his feelings when facing his relatives.
"Ah Father..."
"I...."
"I will definitely not let you down."
Liu An said firmly.
Liu Chang glanced at him unhappily, "What a mess, go and do yours! Trade matters are crucial. If you mess it up, I won't forgive you!"
"only!
!”
Liu An saluted again and then turned around and left.
Soon, Cao Shu came to Houde Hall, and the people of Dian Kingdom sent a few more divine beefs. The beef tasted really good. Liu Changren made several beef meals and invited the queen to come and eat them secretly with him. Cao Shu was a little amused by the emperor's actions. How old is he doing such a childish behavior.
However, when Emperor Gao was old, he was still bringing those old brothers in Peixian to make trouble, Cao Shu could let go. This was the old tradition of their Liu family. Cao Shu sat next to Liu Chang, and Liu Chang was eating voraciously, and Cao Shu ate slowly.
"I have sent someone to my mother, so you don't have to worry, just eat it!"
Liu Chang said, burying his head to eat.
For some reason, Cao Shu found that there was always a smile on his face. He smiled unconsciously as he ate and laughed from time to time. Cao Shu was also surprised, "Is Your Majesty in a good mood today? But what good is there?"
"Hahaha, An came just now, he has indeed grown up... This is the first time this guy is so serious about me..."
Liu Chang was not a person who could hide things. Cao Shu just asked a question and then he started talking nonstop, very excited and had no attitude towards Liu An just now. He danced and was as happy as a nine-meter-high child.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chao Cuo bowed heavily and saluted Liu An respectfully.
Both the Legalists, Chao Cuo, Zhang Buyi, and Zhang Shizhi, have completely different styles. Zhang Shizhi is loyal to the law. Even if the law can be rewritten by the emperor, he is still loyal to the law. All actions are carried out according to the law, and he is not afraid of offending all the powerful and powerful. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he will write a letter to impeach and will never retreat.
As for Zhang Buyi, there is no need to say much, he is only loyal to Chang Liu, and the rest are all over the clouds.
Chao Cuo can be said that what he is loyal to the temple is. For the sake of the safety of the temple, he can write a letter to offend the emperor, ignore the emperor's dissuasion and insist on his own theory of reducing the vassals. Everything is based on the interests of the temple. As the crown prince, the crown prince An, is also the object of loyalty to Chao Cuo.
In Chao Cuo's opinion, the prince is a very qualified successor.
The emperors today are good at everything, but they are a little too concerned about love. As an emperor, too much emphasis on love will become a disadvantage. Nowadays, under the emperor's doting, all of them are lawless. Yan and Nanyue have expanded several times. Liang and Qi have occupied 30% of the country's grain production, and Wu can even order the southern country.
Now that His Majesty is still here, can he suppress them, what can he do?
In a few generations, it is hard to say which lineage they are the emperor.
Liu An hurried forward and helped Chao Cuo up with a smile on his face, "Mr. Chao must not do this. You are my Zhongfu, how dare you accept your tribute?"
"I dare not."
Liu An took Chao Cuo's hand, and the two walked into the inner room, and then sat facing each other. Chao Cuo and Liu An did not have much interaction. Among the past sects, Liu An was close to Luan Bu, Jia Yi and others, and they were not so familiar with others. Chao Cuo didn't know what the Crown Prince suddenly visited.
"I heard that you came back this time to migrate to the people of the Central Plains. I wonder if this is the case?"
"Is Your Highness here to dissuade me?"
Chao Cuo asked very directly. If he came to refuse, he would ask the prince to leave now. He even dared to force the emperor. Although he respected the prince, he would not follow the prince in such matters.

Liu An heard the vigilance in his tone and couldn't help laughing, "Why should I object?"
"Actually, I came here this time just to do this in person!"
"ah??"
Even Chao Cuo was shocked at this moment, "The prince wants to interfere in this matter?"
"Why, my father is afraid that I will take your credit?"
"Hahaha, I have never done anything for any credit, but I still hope that the prince will not interfere in this matter. Although this matter is a good deed for the benefit of the country, forcing the people to move is not a benevolent policy after all, and it must be despised. Zhang Zuoxiang was afraid that His Majesty would bear the bad reputation, so he called me to come with me to handle it. If His Highness participates, I am afraid that the culprit in the mouths of the ministers will become His Highness..."
Liu An took a sip of tea and placed the teacup on the eucalyptus.
"You don't do things for credit, are I doing things for fame?"
"Besides, I am the Great Han Crown Prince! Who dares to disrespect me?!"
The great confidence that Liu An suddenly showed made Chao Cuo a little uncomfortable. For a long time, the prince showed a moral gentleman and an academic expert. He had never seen this face that looked like His Majesty.
"My father took on heavy responsibilities when he was young, pacifying foreign enemies and revitalizing the great man. Now that I have grown up, do you still have to do this?"
"I can do what my father can do!"
"As a son, you should share your worries for your father, and you should contribute to your family and country. Zhongfu doesn't have to persuade you anymore!"
Chao Cuo was shocked and hurriedly got up and bowed to Liu An.
Liu An smiled and asked him to sit down, then asked: "What step do you plan now?"
"Tell your highness the truth. In fact, we have already discussed the issue. However, Your Majesty still does not allow us to act. The war with poison has made the ministers opposed it and often wrote letters, which made Your Majesty restless. Therefore, Your Majesty hopes that this matter can involve the energy of the ministers and not focus on the war anymore... Now the ministers' minds are all on the ministers and the left prime minister, impeachment all day long and visiting them..."
"It is said that such policies violate benevolent government and can only be done by unkind people."
Chao Cuo smiled disdainfully, "These moral gentlemen are always arrogant and think that they are just asking for the people's orders. They probably think that it is better for the people to be starved and killed than forcibly migrate. The people of benevolence and righteousness are the only ones who live. That is the government of benevolence and righteousness! At the beginning, it was said that the government of Qin was the most brutal and unkind, but within the countries, the people of Qin could have a meal and survive... The Qi State, which carries out benevolence and righteousness, is not known to many people who are starved and killed every year!"
"I, the Legalists, disdained the false reputation, but could make people survive... I am definitely not a person who is empty talk like Confucianism and Mr. Huang!"
After Chao Cuo said that, he suddenly realized something and said, "I am not targeting Your Highness..."
Liu An shook his head, he didn't care about this, "Huang Lao's benevolent government is a means to restrain the behavior of the king. It is borrowed from what was integrated after Hu Hai's demise. It is different from Confucianism, and you don't have to explain it."
"Oh? Do you think so?"
Chao Cuo is a capable minister, but at the same time, he is also an academic master and the most outstanding talent of contemporary Legalists. In terms of Legalists' knowledge, whether it is Zhidu, Zhang Buyi, or Zhang Shizhi, they are much worse than him. Chao Cuo and Liu An's topics suddenly shifted from government affairs to academic theory.
Liu An had never thought that Chao Cuo had such achievements in this regard.
Chao Cuo gave him the impression that he was a stubborn and cruel Legalist who could do anything to achieve his goal. However, now that Chao Cuo talked to him about the huge idea of centralization, he was shocked by Liu An. Based on the previous Legalists, Chao Cuo had figured out a set of centralization theory. According to his theory, only if the temple has enough power can the rule cycle be extended. In addition, he even found his own way of strengthening centralization.
Liu An talked with him very happily, and it was not until Zhang Buyi arrived that they interrupted their academic exchanges.
Zhang Buyi walked into the inner room angrily and shouted: "Wrong! How can you break your trust?!"
As he was talking, he saw the prince Liu An sitting beside him, and he couldn't help but frown.
Liu An hurriedly stood up, "Zhang Xiang!"
Zhang Buyi just nodded and then stared at Chao Cuo, "Why do you want to break your trust?"
Chao Cuo then remembered what Zhang Buyi invited him to. He looked at the sky and was shocked, "Zhang Xiangfu forgives him and talks with the prince, but forgets about this..."
Zhang Buyi's face looked a little ugly, and Liu An said helplessly: "I don't know that it has delayed Zhang Xiang's major affairs, so please forgive me."
"Don't dare."
Compared with Chao Cuo's attitude towards the prince, Zhang Buyi seemed much colder and did not give him any affection. Liu An felt Zhang Buyi's indifference to himself, so he was unwilling to stay here and bid farewell to the two of them.
It was not until the crown prince left that Zhang Buyi said coldly: "As your majesty's minister, you are too close to the crown prince. This is not a way to be a minister!"
Chao Cuo replied calmly: "The prince wants to interfere in the migration and wants to lead the way. This is a good thing, so he is close to him."
"He wants to intervene? Why?"
"I said I want to share my worries."
Zhang Buyi nodded and looked much better, "If this is the case, it would be a waste of His Majesty's favor for him."
Zhang Buyi sat in the upper position and looked at Chao Cuo on the side, "No need to delay any more. I got reliable news. The war has been won and can be carried out directly. The first step is to start with Liang State. You come to the temple. I personally go to Liang State to cooperate with the ministers there to carry out migration. The migration sites in various places must be prepared..."
Chao Cuo also became serious. This was a major project.
Their migration target this time was 1.6 million people, involving more than 300 counties and seven vassal states, and they should not be underestimated. If too many people are migrating to the same place, it will cause a huge burden here. Therefore, Chao Cuo carefully drew a migration map, reasonably allocating the number and scale of the migrant people and the moving people from all over the country, the migration route, the guarantee of the road, and the stability issues after arrival.
In terms of strategy, Chao Cuo probably has no opponent among the younger generation.
Although he is not very good at real implementation, he can really find ways and formulate strategies, so no one can match his ability to do so. Therefore, Zhang Buyi also has to go to the execution personally. With him as the prime minister, officials from all over the country can cooperate with him to implement it uniformly under his orders. Chao Cuo stays in Chang'an to deal with internal and external opposition forces, and at the same time find out the specific problems in implementation and improve his own policies.
The two big hawks started a full night of negotiations and determined the big and small matters.
Chao Cuo asked: "The prince wants to intervene, do we want him to take charge?"
