When Zhang Liang walked out of Jiaofang Hall, Liu Ying had already led everyone waiting outside the door.
Zhang Liang came out and saw the waiting prince. He was also stunned and bowed to see him.
"Liuhou!"
Liu Ying also hurriedly returned the gift.
"I was about to go to find the prince, but unexpectedly, the prince arrived in person!"
Zhang Liang walked to Liu Ying's side with a smile. He didn't know how tall the scribes of this era were. Chen Ping, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and even Zhao Yao were all short, and each one was taller than the other. Zhang Liang
His height is second only to Chen Ping and taller than Xiao He. Liu Ying is not short either, but standing next to Zhang Liang, she needs to raise her head to look at him.
Compared with these people, the military generals seem a bit petite. Except for Fan Kuai, the other generals are not very tall. Of course, it is difficult to say sideways.
Zhang Liang seemed very kind, but Liu Ying was still a little nervous, "Why don't you stay here to find me?"
"Yes, the prince doesn't know something. I used to learn the alchemist's method, but I didn't eat enough food, but I became weaker and weaker...I heard from the queen that there are many famous doctors in the palace, and the prince didn't know that he might send a capable person to take care of his body.
Woolen cloth?"
"Ah? Is it okay to stay here?"
Liu Ying looked nervous and said hurriedly: "I'll find you right away!"
Seeing Liu Ying's appearance, Zhang Liang was stunned again. He hurriedly reached out his hand and grabbed Liu Ying who was about to rush out. He said gently: "The prince just sent someone to summon me... Just follow me."
"
Liu Ying stretched out her hand to help Zhang Liang walk, as carefully as she would treat her elders.
Zhang Liang looked into the distance and suddenly asked: "I heard that the prince likes to read... I wonder if he has ever read the books of Mencius and Xun?"
"Read it."
"The prince thinks, do people do good? Or do people do evil?"
"Do good."
"Oh? I would like to hear the prince's words."
"It's not a high-level argument, I just think that no one is born evil. Just as Mencius said, if the water flows down and occasionally splashes, it just encounters rocks... The situation is forced, such as Hu Hai, Zhou
, Jie and his ilk, if their parents can discipline them well, not pampering them, not letting them go, and can discipline them when they first show malice...how can they become evil people?"
"Hahaha, if they are doing good, why do they need to discipline them?"
"Sir, Mencius never said that human nature is inherently good. He only said that human nature is good. I think everyone must have good thoughts in their heart..."
"There are good thoughts, but maybe there are also evil thoughts?"
"This...is probably like this."
Liu Ying suddenly became a little hesitant.
"What do you think, sir?"
"I neither study nor govern a country, so I have no reason to think about these things."
"This..." Liu Ying looked at him blankly.
"Because people have good intentions, they must implement benevolent policies to prevent water from splashing when it encounters stones. Because people have evil intentions, they must control the flow of water and prevent it from flowing backward... The prince is going to be the parent of this world.
Don’t raise a child like Jie and Zhou.”
While Liu Ying was still meditating, an imperial physician came to diagnose Zhang Liang in person. According to the imperial physician's words, Zhang Liang's body was indeed very weak and needed rest. Liu Ying sent someone to send Zhang Liang out and let him go first.
Recuperate in a quiet place for a while, then return to the reserve.
As soon as Liu Ying returned to Xuanshi Hall, Liu Chang pounced on her.
"How's it going? How's it going?"
"Oh...eldest brother, Liuhou is seriously ill and needs to rest. This is what the imperial doctor said personally...I really couldn't tell him about it."
"You were deceived by Liu Hou! Brother, if you give the order directly, can he still refuse to obey? Get him to Tang State first, and he will have to stay there even if he refuses to obey!"
Liu Chang said bitterly.
"Eldest brother, please don't be upset. I have learned a truth when you stay with me today..." Liu Ying pondered and asked, "Have you ever read Mencius and Xun's books?"
"Nonsense! I am the direct descendant of Xunzi and the authentic Confucian school. How can I not read it?"
"Then do you think people are good? Or do they think people are evil?"
"It doesn't matter to me whether you are good or evil. Doing this nonsense will help the people of the Tang Dynasty eat more food? Or will it allow them to have more clothes? It's all nonsense!"
Liu Chang cursed and left the Xuanshi Hall angrily without looking back.
Only a stunned Liu Ying was left, staring blankly at his back.
If the words are divided, Luan Bu will be in dire straits.
"Your Majesty...No way!!!"
Luan Bu's voice trembled.
Liu Chang looked disdainful and said: "What are you afraid of? This is my order. If anything happens, I will take care of it! Just do it!"
Luan Bu's face turned pale and he shook his head, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Liuhou is a founding official with great hard work and extraordinary status. Even the late emperor respected him very much. If you want to tie him up, it is a serious crime. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty,
He should be killed, not to mention he is not young anymore, how can we be rude to him?"
"It's because of his hard work and unrivaled resourcefulness that I want to tie him up. If someone else doesn't have the qualifications!"
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how angry the Queen must be?"
"What are you afraid of? As long as I send Zhang Liang to the Tang Dynasty to cook raw rice and cooked rice, my mother will beat me half to death, so why not? For the suffering people of the Tang Dynasty, I, Liu Chang, gave up my ass!",
Liu Chang spoke with righteousness and awe-inspiring, like a great hero of his generation, but Luan Bu not only had no respect for him, but regretted why he came to serve as his sacrificer in the first place.
If I had not sent the letter to King Liang, I would not have been valued by His Majesty. If I had not been valued by Your Majesty, I would not have come to sacrifice for this thing...
Luan Bu said again: "But the king just said that the imperial physician personally said that Liu Hou is seriously ill..."
"Oh, Hou Hou has always been treacherous. These words can deceive my ignorant brother, but they can't be fooled by me, Liu Chang! How can Hou Hou cherish his life, how can he do such a ridiculous thing as not eating food? He must be
He was afraid that his mother would ask him to stay and assist his brother, so he went hungry on the road and deliberately let the wind escape so that he could continue to return to his place of residence."
"Although our country, Tang, is poor, we still have cattle and sheep. When we get him to Tang, I will personally feed him meat every day, no problem!"
Luan Bu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing Luan Bu's hesitation, Liu Chang said angrily: "Luan Bu, you always say that you are Zixia's disciple. Is this how Zixia's disciples are? I treat you like a brother.
But you dare not carry out my orders because you are afraid. Is this the courtesy of a minister?"
Stirred by these words, Luan Bu immediately became serious and said: "I am the king's minister. Even if the king asks me to die, I will not hesitate. The reason why I hesitate is just to consider the king. As a minister, I can't do anything."
It is disloyal to do things that harm the monarch even if you know they are wrong."
"You are not trying to harm me. My brother is kind-hearted and my mother loves me. When Marquis Liu goes to Tang Dynasty, we will say that he is weak and can no longer travel. If we keep him, they can do nothing. At most, they can
He will beat me up, and he will also find ways to help me cover up the matter, and officially confer me the title of Liuhou... You don’t have to worry."
Liu Chang tried hard to persuade him, but Luan Bu had no choice but to agree to this ridiculous idea. Anyway, he was forced to do a lot of ridiculous things on weekdays, so what's the point of tying him up as a retainer?
It's a pity that he has lost his reputation all his life and now he has to be a thief.
Liu Chang's idea was absurd, but his arrangements were very appropriate. He first asked Luan Bu to prepare a carriage to get close to him and go to the Tang Dynasty, and then wrote a letter to Zhang Cang, asking Zhang Cang to hand over, and he must keep this person and stay in the Tang Dynasty.
, Zhang Cang's burden will be reduced a lot. He has thought about everything along the way. He even asked Luan Bu to find a famous doctor in advance and asked the famous doctor to follow Zhang Liang all the way. He even borrowed a road guide from Prime Minister Cao to ensure that
No one dared to stop me on the road, and I was fully prepared.
After inquiring about the situation around Zhang Liang's mansion, Liu Chang and Luan Bu came to the door of the mansion quietly when it was getting dark.
Liu Chang used his rich experience in climbing over walls to lead Luan Bu into the courtyard and carefully walked to the inner room.
Luan Bu looked at the candlelight in the room and whispered: "Your Majesty, there seems to be someone else in the room."
Liu Chang was stunned, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be his son, who cares? I'll tie him up too!"
Liu Chang rushed into the inner room with Luan Bu.
Zhang Liang is indeed here, but there is another person here. This person is not easy to deal with. He has some courage. It will be a little difficult for Liu Chang to capture him.
Fan Kuai widened his eyes and looked at Liu Chang and Luan Bu who broke in through the door.
Zhang Liang chuckled and stroked his beard, as if to say, I have guessed what you did.
"What does King Tang want to do?!"
Fan Kuai said angrily and slowly stood up. His bear-like physique frightened Liu Chang and even took a few steps back.
"Hahaha, uncle is here too... I'm here to visit Liuhou. Since you are here too, I'll come back later."
"Farewell!"
ps: I started typing when I got home. There are still three chapters left. I originally wanted to post them together, but I was afraid that people wouldn’t be able to bear it, so I posted them as soon as they were finished. Let’s read them first and try to finish the remaining three chapters as soon as possible.
