Chapter 216 The boy who borrowed the sheep, he will never come again
After the two discussed state affairs, Zhao Tuo felt at ease.
Because he knew that Liu Chang’s coming must be Empress Lu’s intention, which is why he was willing to agree to Liu Chang’s request. The gap between South Vietnam and the Han Dynasty is getting wider and wider. South Vietnam claims to have an army of one million, which is really a bit strange.
Well, although South Vietnam is also a country like Qin where all the people are soldiers, and even strong women have to go to the military camps, the problem is that even if these people are included, there are not millions of them.
The Han Dynasty is also a country where all the people are soldiers. It has perfectly inherited the advantages of the Qin Dynasty. As long as the men are not disabled and have hands and feet, they will start to participate in drills after they reach a certain age. According to today's terms, it is military training.
There are drills every year. After the drills are completed, they will go to serve in the border defense. A strong man must serve at least twice in his life.
However, unlike Da Qin, Han Dynasty raised the age of service a lot, and at the same time also raised the age of men participating in training a lot.
Liu Chang looked at the needle in the attendant's hand attentively.
He was a little curious about this medical skill, and at the same time he was even more curious about the material of the needle.
"Can you let me see your needle?"
Zhao Tuo's entourage was stunned, then smiled and handed the wooden box to Liu Chang, "If your Majesty wants to see it, of course you can..."
"For the general, he often rides his horse to fight. He is exposed to wind and rain, and his body has hidden wounds. Acupuncture is the best way to treat internal wounds... Your Majesty may not know that the human body has many..."
This attendant told Liu Chang some medical knowledge. Liu Chang just looked at the needles in his hand curiously. There were various kinds of needles in his hand, and the workmanship was very exquisite.
"Can you give me a set of this injection?"
Liu Chang asked.
The attendant's face suddenly became a little hesitant. He glanced at Zhao Tuo and said hesitantly: "If the king likes it... then take it..."
Liu Chang laughed, threw the wooden box to the follower, and said: "Since it is something you cherish, then I don't want it!"
"Why, are you interested in this acupuncture method?"
Liu Chang hesitated for a moment and said: "Some of the ministers who followed my father in the war were old and seriously ill... I was thinking that if they can be taken care of properly, they might be able to live longer..."
"Oh, do you still have such a heart?"
"I heard that you had many disagreements with the officials in the court. It seems that this rumor is not true."
"The discord is due to government affairs. Privately, I still regard them as my second-father."
Luan Bu glanced at Liu Chang, "It's not a good thing to be regarded as your second father-in-law."
Zhao Tuo pointed to the entourage beside him and said: "You can ask him to take care of the generals."
Liu Chang laughed again, "Let his master come to Chang'an on his own!"
"I heard that there used to be a miracle doctor named Bian Que who was very good at this. Speaking of which, I also know a little bit about the meridians you just mentioned. I have known about it for a long time!"
"oh??"
"Where did your Majesty know this?"
Liu Chang scratched his head and said truthfully: "In a dream."
The attendant's face became even darker. Looking at their suspicious eyes, Liu Chang was angry, "You don't believe it, do you? Come on, come on, give me the needle and I'll try it!"
"No, no, Your Majesty, we believe it! We all believe it! We firmly believe it!!"
.......
After Liu Chang left Zhao Tuo's mansion, the first thing he did was to give Zhang Buji an order to go to Hanoi to pick up Xia Wuji.
Zhang Buyi was very straightforward and immediately accepted the order and was about to leave. However, Jia Yi was a little suspicious. He said: "Your Majesty, I heard that this doctor is famous for protecting the King of Qin. I have never heard that his medical skills are superb."
Liu Chang glanced at him and motioned for him to come closer. Jia Yi slowly walked to Liu Chang's side. Liu Chang grabbed his neck, clamped his head under his arm, and asked: "Do you think King Qin is the right person?"
A fool?"
Jia Yi raised his head with difficulty, "Your Majesty, although King Qin is cruel, he is still a hero and is not stupid."
"As for the Imperial Physician Ling who can accompany him and even accompany him to meet foreign envoys, do you think his medical skills will be poor?"
"Won't."
Only then did Liu Chang let him go and shouted, "Think more before you speak! You've almost lost your mind studying all day long!"
Jia Yi lowered his head, but Chao Cuo hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, are you going to let South Vietnam go like this?"
"Then what do you think?"
"You can order Zhao Tuo to send his son to the Imperial Academy!"
"But doesn't Zhao Tuo just have a son?"
"Then let his eldest grandson come to the Imperial Academy!"
Chao Cuo said seriously.
Everyone was stunned. If you want to say it's vicious, it's you Legalists!
Liu Chang said thoughtfully, "Well, you are right."
"Then you will be responsible for this."
"only!"
Chao Cuo agreed immediately, and then looked proudly at Jia Yi, who had a dark face and hesitated to speak.
Liu Chang did not return directly to the palace, but came to Taixue again.
But this time, the atmosphere of Taixue was completely different from before. The four entrances and exits were guarded by Confederate soldiers. It was not easy for Taixue students to get in and out. Liu Chang was naturally free to enter and exit Taixue.
, and it was almost impossible to see those scholars who were idle. Liu Chang kept visiting various mansions, and almost all the scholars were studying seriously.
The Queen Mother did things very quickly. After Liu Chang expressed his idea of restructuring the Imperial College, Queen Lu immediately started to implement it. In just one month, most of it was completed.
Today's Taixue no longer talks about classics and studies the words and deeds of saints as before, but begins to teach many practical things.
For example, arithmetic, agriculture, and law. Of course, great scholars like Fuqiubo who wrote poetry can also teach the implementation of policies. Poetry in the hands of these people is just a tool, a tool used to support ancient reforms and implement them.
Anything can be exemplified through poetry.
Liu Chang nodded with satisfaction, not bad, this was much better than he expected.
At this time, Liu Chang suddenly saw two scholars fighting together in a mansion. Liu Chang suddenly became furious. I have come to warn you several times, but you still dare to act recklessly here, right? Liu Chang rushed over in a few steps.
He walked over, grabbed one of them, pushed him directly to the ground, and raised his fist high, "You don't take my Wang Ling seriously, do you?!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"We are practicing martial arts!!!"
The eyes of the soldier who was being restrained were full of fear, and he shouted hurriedly.
"Uh... Oh, I know, I just do it on a whim, so I will practice with you, hahaha, get up!"
Liu Chang hurriedly pulled the man up and asked with a smile: "How did you learn? Who taught you?"
The scholar said helplessly: "Gong Fuqiu said that from now on, scholars must learn riding and archery, martial arts, physical fitness... and also learn the art of war... But we haven't found a suitable great sage. Currently, this is
The prince is responsible for teaching us martial arts. He is a disciple of Duke Fuqiu and is good at martial arts."
Liu Chang turned his head and saw the "coach" named Wang standing in the crowd. This man was also tall and powerful, but when he noticed Liu Chang staring at him, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Are you good at fighting?"
"Well... Your Majesty... I'm just teaching them temporarily... I'm weak..."
"Hey, don't be modest, come on, let's try it!"
"Great...great king."
"Do you look down on me?!"
"Don't dare!"
This "coach" Wang had no choice but to come and practice with Liu Chang. He took a deep breath, got ready, and stared closely at Liu Chang in front of him, but Liu Chang had a relaxed look on his face and just smiled.
In an instant, Liu Chang rushed forward, held the instructor's waist with both hands, lifted it up violently, smashed it directly to the ground, and quickly jumped up again.
"Instructor Wang! You can't do this either... Hahaha, Instructor Wang... Instructor Wang?? Prince???"
When the imperial doctor ordered the people to carry the prince out in a hurry, Liu Chang was a little at a loss and very uneasy.
"Is he okay?"
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Your Majesty... next time you fight someone, you have to be more restrained... If Your Majesty had stood up more slowly, we could have mourned him today..."
"How could I know that he...sigh...take good care of him."
After sending the visitor away, Liu Chang looked at the scholars in front of him again.
These scholars had pale faces and trembling arms. When they saw Liu Chang looking at them, they all lowered their heads and shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life!!"
"Ahem, don't worry, I won't fight with you again, so be it, Ji Bu!"
"only!"
"You stay in Taixue for the time being and help train them."
"only!!"
........
"Um...Mom, Zhao Tuo agreed. I'm thinking that I can let his eldest grandson come to Taixue...as a hostage..."
Queen Lu looked at the hesitating guy in front of her suspiciously and asked, "What trouble did you get into again?"
"I didn't cause any trouble!"
"Who did you hit again?"
"Mom!!! I really didn't mean it this time!!!"
Queen Lu instinctively wanted to use the stick, but after thinking about it, she gave up. She sighed, "In a few days, you will get married... When will you grow up?"
"I have grown up long ago!"
"Forget it... I won't deal with you today for the time being. You don't have to worry about these things. Just go about your own business... After you get married, you have to move out..."
Empress Lu suddenly fell silent. After getting married, Liu Chang should leave the country.
But Liu Chang said with a smile: "When I go to the Tang Dynasty, my mother will not be able to beat me!"
"Hmph, if you dare to cause trouble in the Tang Dynasty, I will have you put in a prison car and taken back to Chang'an!"
"Don't worry! Mom!"
Liu Chang said seriously: "I must be a wise king. If my mother can't believe it, you can send a censor to follow me. There is no need to send any big shots, like Chen Ping, Guan Ying, Xuanyi, etc.
Just send me as many as you like..."
"roll!!"
Liu Chang's wedding is about to take place.
And this marriage has been delayed for nearly two years, and even when the children are ready to call them "father", it is finally about to take place.
The wedding of the Tang Dynasty King was a big event in Chang'an.
The day before the wedding, Liu Chang was surrounded by several people and began to dress up. Liu Chang himself enjoyed it very much. He usually likes to dress up, wear beautiful clothes, and have a youthful spirit. Because Cao Shen was gone, Cao Shu's brother took over.
Come as the elder, and Liu Ying also wants to participate as Liu Chang's elder.
Liu Ying was very happy, feeling that her silly brother had finally grown up, and only Empress Lu didn't have much joy on her face.
The wedding of the King of Tang Dynasty was held in the palace of the King of Tang Dynasty. On this day, many people came to pay their respects and congratulate them. From the sages of Chang'an, to the scholars of Taixue, to the ministers of the court and the generals of the army, the posture was unparalleled.
Zhou Shengzhi's marriage was much more grand at first. The princes sent people to congratulate them one after another. Even the foreign kings, such as Yueshi, Minyue, etc., gave gifts one after another. As for the King of Nanyue, he even came to attend in person.
Zhao Tuo was extremely excited, and tears filled his eyes when he saw Liu Chang in front of him who was dressed up and surrounded by everyone.
"Look... I really came right this time... at least, I got to see you get married."
"I really want to stay a little longer... to see your child with my own eyes..."
"Um...actually...I'll let you babysit tomorrow."
"Um???"
"Grown...this childbirth...is carried out for ten months. There is no way to get married today and give birth to a child tomorrow..."
"If others can't do it, it means they are not capable enough. I, Liu Chang, am different!"
Zhao Tuo was stunned, no matter how capable he was, he couldn't do this, right?
Liu Chang didn't pay much attention to him. He just laughed loudly surrounded by everyone and went to greet the guests. The ministers sat on both sides and looked at the tall man with a heroic appearance. They had grown up unknowingly.
Adult Liu Chang's eyes were full of surprise. They still vaguely remembered those little kids who made a big fuss in Chang'an. But now, these little kids have grown up. Time flies so quickly.
Before the time came, Liu Chang couldn't wait to lead everyone in his car to greet Cao Shu.
The wedding was very lively, Liu Chang laughed and kept drinking with the virtuous ministers and ministers.
Everyone congratulated him one after another.
This scene was even more lively than Zhou Shengzhi's wedding.
However, Queen Lu, who was sitting in the upper position, just stared blankly at her dancing son. No matter what, she couldn't bring out the slightest smile on her face.
.......
"Are you Xia Wuji?"
Liu Chang sat proudly on the throne and looked at the imperial physician in front of him in surprise who had protected King Qin.
Xia Wuqe did not look old. He had a rosy face, a smile, and a slightly bent waist. He did not look like someone who had participated in Jing Ke's assassination of Qin and lived to this day.
"My name is Xia Wuji. I have heard about the great king's reputation for a long time. I don't know why you summoned me here?"
Xia Wuji looked a little nervous. After all, he once served the King of Qin. After the fall of Qin, he was imprisoned for a period of time. The doctors in Qin were not just doctors. Xia Wuji trained many military doctors, that is,
Later, military doctors played a great role in the military. If we really talk about it, he can be considered a sinner.
Liu Chang said: "I came here specifically to want my husband to stay by my side and treat me!"
"ah??"
Xia Wuji was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Chang in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty is so alive and well, doesn't he seem to be sick?"
"Of course I'm not sick! I want you to be the imperial physician of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I accept my order!!"
Xia Wuji had no intention of refusing and hurriedly agreed. Everyone knew the reputation of the Tang Dynasty King, and Xia Wuji had naturally heard of it. Hearing that the Tang Dynasty King specializes in beating the old and the weak, he cherished his life and did not want to die in front of the Tang Dynasty King.
Under the punch.
"Have you really met Jing Ke?"
"I've seen it."
"How does he compare to me?"
"Not as strong as the king."
"Hahaha~~"
Liu Chang laughed proudly. Looking at Xia Wuji in front of him, he actually still had many ideas in his mind, but these ideas had to wait until he returned to Tang State before he could implement them.
Zhang Buyi, who was standing next to Xia Wuji, was a little unhappy, "Your Majesty, I couldn't catch up with your Majesty's wedding."
"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and ordered: "No doubt, tell Liu not to harm them and let them start making preparations."
"Your Majesty? What preparations are you making?"
"Preparation for returning to Tang Dynasty."
"only!!!"
When the virtuous people appeared in the Tang Palace again, everyone looked unhappy. Although no one said it clearly, they all had already realized that the king was leaving.
The sages sat on the left and right of Liu Chang, all with their heads lowered and silent.
But Liu Chang laughed and asked, "Why are all the sages so unhappy?"
"Your Majesty...are you really going to leave us alone?"
Xiao Guan'a's eyes shone with tears.
Liu Chang was silent for a moment and then said: "You are still too young...you still need more experience. When you grow up, come to Tang Kingdom to find me."
"Then why can Lu Lu, Fan and his wife, Xia Houzao and others go to the Tang Kingdom with the king?"
"Because they are older...Oh, ah, come here."
Guan A's eyes were red and he sat next to Liu Chang. Liu Chang rubbed his head and said, "From now on when I am not in Chang'an, you must work together and not fight among yourself. If someone bullies you, say my name! You guys."
Study with peace of mind, practice martial arts...improve your skills, and in the future, you will come to our country of Tang to be the prime minister!"
"Okay! Stop being so stern! Be careful I'll beat you up! Let's go, let's go, accompany me to Jian'an Hou's house, I still have big things to do!"
When Qunxian walked into his house from the front door, Lu Shizhi was a little angry. Are you not even willing to pretend now? Come and rob them directly?
However, when he saw the dense flock of sheep behind Liu Chang, his expression was a little dull.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Chang bowed towards Lu Shizhi and bowed.
"Uncle, I was young and ignorant. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. Over the years... I have eaten countless sheep from your family, and you have never been angry. This is my order.
There are more than a hundred of them bought with cloth... I should be able to compensate you a little... Please accept them."
For some reason, Lu Shizhi's eyes instantly turned red. He looked at Liu Chang who was bowing to him and was speechless.
"Ah...you love to eat my sheep...I'm actually very happy..."
"Uncle... I'm leaving... Please take good care of my mother and stay with her in the palace more often... If anything happens, please let me know first, and please take care of yourself."
"good."
When Liu Chang left, Lu Shizhi looked at the flocks of sheep in the courtyard and ordered: "Take all the sheep and give them to the poor people nearby..."
"Ah?? Patriarch, why is this?"
"Sheep thieves will never come again... Why are we raising these sheep?"
The same scene also happened in Zhou Bo's house and Heyang Hou's house.
Liu Chang met with many ministers successively, and then came to see Han Xin.
"Master...I have to leave."
"Um."
"I feel so sorry for you."
"What a man! Why are you acting like a woman!"
"When you return to the Tang Dynasty this time, you must use all your strength to defeat the Huns and cut off Mao Dun's head. Otherwise, I will not recognize you as my disciple!"
"Take orders!!!"
Liu Chang bowed to the Marquis of Huaiyin and bowed.
And Liu Chang's last stop was at the palace.
ps: It’s time to enter the next chapter, which is the Tang Dynasty chapter.
However, you don’t have to worry, the style is still the same, and Liu Chang is still the same Liu Chang. He will not torture you with a knife. He is just a little busy. All things are piled up at the end of April, Luyuan, interviews, speeches, and more in May.
I took my daughter-in-law to the city to wait for the birth. Alas, I had a headache.
