"Father Zhong, yesterday, I went to Prime Minister Cao's residence to visit him, but he insisted on marrying his second daughter to me. I refused on the grounds that I was too young. I think you are more suitable to serve as the Prime Minister. How about Prime Minister Cao?
You asked me to go to Tang State several times, but I didn’t agree. I have been waiting for you..."
Liu Chang was lying on the ground, immersed in writing letters.
In these days, he has sent many letters, and I don't know if Liuhou has received them.
For the sake of the suffering people of Tang State, Liu Chang decided to write letters to Liu Hou every day to see if he could impress him with sincerity and invite him to go to Tang State.
It is a pity that such a smart person lives in seclusion and practices Taoism.
Liu Hui just came to apply the medicine for Liu Chang. These days, his brothers have been a little busy. They heard that they are going to officially be crowned king.
In Tianlu Pavilion, Gai Gongzheng was telling the "Tao" to the princes.
"Tao is inaction, but Tao has rules."
"Wuwei does not mean not doing anything, but not doing anything that goes against the Tao. There is nothing that cannot be done by those who follow the Tao."
Gai Gong has basically finished talking about several of Huang Lao's books. Now, he will connect the previous knowledge together to describe Huang Lao's strategy for governing the country.
Liu Heng, as usual, listened very carefully. He would write down everything the teacher said and draw inferences from one instance to another. He was deeply loved by Gai Gong. Although Liu Hui was also very serious, there was always something he didn't understand.
And Gai Gong didn't like his disciples to ask questions. He didn't want to say more after explaining most of the knowledge once.
After Gai Gong finished speaking and asked everyone to rest for a while, Liu Chang approached him with a smile.
Gai Gong glanced at him and continued to read with his head down.
"Master... I heard that you have many disciples in Qi State... Is it true?"
"Can not remember."
"Master, Prime Minister Zhang replied to me. Today's Tang State is very short of talents. Almost all officials are illiterate...It is impossible to govern the country...I heard that Master once set up a private school in Qi State and taught many disciples. I don't know.
Can you send some to the Tang Dynasty? I will never treat them badly, and there is no need to have too many, just a few thousand people will be good!"
Gai Gong said with a straight face, "Don't Zhang Gong have many disciples? Why not use Confucian scholars?"
"Oh, what do Confucians know about governing the country? We still have to rely on Taoism to govern the country. Aren't all the benevolent policies of Confucianism copied from us?"
Gai Gong stroked his beard, "I have been lecturing in Qi for decades, and I can't even remember how many disciples I have... If you need it, I can recommend a few outstanding disciples."
"Yeah!"
Liu Chang hurriedly held Gai Gong's hand, "It's just that I hope the master knows that our Tang country is not like the Central Plains. The country is full of bandits and bandits, and there are Huns abroad. It is really dangerous... I must make it clear to those disciples. If they are afraid,
You don’t have to come.”
Gai Gong was furious, "How can my disciple be afraid?"
"Master, of course you are not afraid, but it is hard to say about your disciples. Most of your thousands of disciples are afraid to go to the Tang Kingdom because of fear!"
"None of my disciples is weak!"
Gai Gong immediately began to write letters to his disciples, while Liu Chang stood aside happily.
After Gai Gong wrote a few words, he suddenly came to his senses, raised his head, and stared at Liu Chang, "How to stimulate generals..."
"I don't understand what the master is saying at all."
........
In the Jiaofang Hall, Empress Lu looked at Zhao Ping, nodding her head from time to time, very satisfied with him.
Xiao He recommended this person to Liu Chang, so Empress Lu naturally wanted to investigate it. After questioning, Empress Lu also discovered that the man in front of her was indeed a talent. Luan Bu was loyal and reliable, but the problem was that he was too staunch and violent.
Although Zhao Ping is easy to anger, he is calm and calm, so he is most suitable to assist Liu Chang.
"From now on, you will be the wife of King Tang... You must assist King Tang well. King Tang is young and naughty. If you have offended me in any way, please forgive me..."
"I don't dare. The prince of Tang has a pure heart and I love him very much."
"You don't need to say more. I know what my child is like. Please watch him and don't let him act recklessly. If he is disobedient, you can tell me or you can stop it yourself..."
"ah??"
Liu Chang, who was sitting obediently by the side, suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Mom! How can there be such a thing in the world that a minister beats his lord?"
Empress Lu ignored him and continued to explain to Zhao Ping: "Previously, Gai Gong punished him for copying books, so he asked Luan Bu to replace him... Luan Bu is a loyal man, and he was bullied by this fool. I hope you won't be like this..."
"only!"
Coming out of Jiaofang Hall, Liu Chang scratched his head helplessly, while Zhao Ping followed him without saying a word.
"Master Zhao, I respect you very much. When I go to the Tang Dynasty in the future, I will definitely reward you heavily..."
"I have been learning swordsmanship from Mr. Gai for four or five years, and now I have achieved some success... At the beginning, my mother sent a famous scholar named Kuai Che to discipline me. You don't know, but he later died of old age.
Crap..."
A smile appeared on Zhao Ping's face, but he still said cooperatively: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am your minister."
"That's good!"
Liu Chang led Zhao Ping out of the palace with a smile. Luan Bu was waiting at the door. He paid homage to Liu Chang and followed him. Liu Chang went to Han Xin's mansion to study.
When Liu Chang went in to study, the two scholars were waiting at the door, chatting while waiting.
"I've heard about Zhao Gong's name for a long time. I'm glad to meet him."
Luan Bu was still very polite when facing this wise man who was older and more famous than himself.
Zhao Ping returned the greeting with a smile, and then asked, "How long have you been following the Young Master?"
"Sigh... It's been almost a year... You don't know, these days following the Young Master have been like a year for me. Now I have become familiar with all the officials and soldiers in Chang'an, and we go out to have wine together from time to time.
..."
Speaking of Liu Chang, Luan Bu shook his head and sighed. He talked sadly about his experiences with the prince. He had gone through many vicissitudes of life and did not look like a young man in his twenties. It turned out that Luan Bu was a
He has endured it, and now he finally has someone else to share it with him. Not to mention how happy he is.
Zhao Ping listened attentively and chuckled, "It's really hard on the people of Luanshe."
"This young man..."
Luan Bu said, glanced at the sky, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!!"
He hurriedly rushed into the inner room. Zhao Ping looked at him in surprise and followed him in.
Inside the room, Han Xin was holding a book and reading it carefully, but Liu Chang had already disappeared. Luan Bu rushed to the window in a few steps, stretched out his head, looked around, and shouted: "Zhao Gong! Take people to Fan quickly.
Mansion! I’m going to Xiahou Mansion!”
Zhao Ping left in a hurry, and Luan Bu looked at Han Xin helplessly, "Marquis of Huaiyin, why do you always refuse to tell me that the young master has escaped?"
Han Xin glanced at him and said, "It's your business to keep an eye on the young master, what does it have to do with me?"
On Zhaoping's first day at work, he realized how Luan Bu had been feeling over the years. He led people everywhere to look for the figure of the Young Master in each mansion. However, he met with blank looks everywhere. The Young Master's reputation was really too bad.
If he fails, even his family members will not be welcomed.
But at this moment, Liu Chang was gathering with the sages at the palace of Princess Lu Yuan.
"Your Majesty... why didn't you come out after you entered Prime Minister Cao's mansion that day? Fan and I almost froze to death... we stood there for more than two hours... After we returned home, we were beaten by my father
Hang him up and beat him..."
Liu Chang cleared his throat and said: "That day I entered Cao Mansion and was caught by Cao Shen. He insisted that I reveal my accomplices. No matter how he tortured me, I never spoke. You are just freezing outside, but I am inside the manor.
I was tortured in all kinds of ways by Cao’s thieves!”
"The King is benevolent and righteous!"
"Why did the king summon us in such a hurry?"
Liu Chang said seriously: "Today in Chang'an, traitors are in power. We can't drive. We will be caught if we climb over the wall to eat fruit. I am calling everyone this time to change this situation. We can no longer tolerate such bullying by traitors."
, we must fight back!”
When Zhou Shengzhi and others heard this, they immediately became frightened.
"Your Majesty... why don't we just endure it... We are still young, if we endure it for a few more years... maybe Thief Cao will die of old age?"
Liu Chang was furious and cursed: "What is there to be afraid of, Cao Cao?"
"I insist that he be obedient to me!"
"Lu, you go buy a lamb. You have to spend money to buy it. Tonight, we will go to Cao's Mansion and give a good treatment to the Cao thief!"
"Your Majesty... why do you need to buy sheep when you are in charge of Cao Cao's thieves?"
"You'll understand tonight!"
ps: I seem to have caught a cold, had a fever last night, and now I have a headache.
