This upright wizard firmly believed in what his father taught him.
He believed that he could indeed predict good and bad fortunes, but Shanyu did not want to believe in himself. In a depressed situation, he met the Tang Wangchang who came to ask for supplies, and watched as his soldiers were killed several times.
, Wu quickly performed a divination on himself, and well, the results showed that surrender was the only way out, and then he surrendered.
After being brought back to Tang State, he discovered that he actually had many colleagues in Tang State. After friendly exchanges of experiences with his colleagues in Tang State, he felt that his divination ability had made new breakthroughs. He was attracted by
He was sent to the new mine. The officials saw that he was smart and the other servants respected him, so they asked him to divine and predict where the most resources could be mined. The man divined and then confidently told everyone
, something is going to happen in this mine!
The servants were so frightened that they dared not go mining. The officials' faces were ashen, and the witch was almost beaten to death.
Of course, nothing has happened in the mine so far...
At this moment, when he heard the noble man in front of him saying that he wanted to be reused, and thinking of his failure over the years, and the doubts, beatings, and insults others had about him, Wu couldn't help but shed tears.
Chen Ping was a little suspicious, why was this guy still crying?
Wu hurriedly took out a few stones from his arms, which made Chen Ping frown.
"What do you want to do?"
"My lord, just tell me, what do you want to divine? I guarantee it will be very effective!"
Looking at the extremely excited Wu in front of him, Chen Ping was very calm and asked, "How many sons does Modu have?"
"I'm going to do divination right now..."
"What are you predicting?! Didn't you say you have been following Moton all year round? Don't you even know how many sons he has?!"
Chen Ping reprimanded Wu, and then Wu remembered that this matter did not require divination. He hurriedly replied: "Modun had six sons, two died, and now there are four..."
"Tell me about the situation of these four people..."
Wu put down the pebbles and began to talk seriously about Mao Dun's sons. The first was Ji Zhou. According to Wu, Ji Zhou was a very gentle man, not like Mao Dun's son at all.
The adults here all liked him, but the generals who followed Mao Dun hated him. After every battle, he would distribute the supplies he captured to his subordinates. However, this man never engaged in divination.
Even so, he was very polite to the wizard.
Once upon a time, I had received a piece of meat as a reward from him.
Then there is Hu Tu. According to Wu, this person is stubborn in doing things, outspoken, and often offends people with his words. Wu mentioned an incident. When they went to Ding Ling's place, Mao Dun suddenly sighed with emotion.
The wind became colder and colder, so Hu Tu excitedly told Mao Dun, "It's not that the weather has changed, it's because you're getting old, so you feel cold!" Mao Dun was so angry that he almost whipped him with a whip.
The third son is called Dagu. This man perfectly inherited the ferocious character of Maodun. He was unruly and easy to kill. He had the worst relationship with Jizhou. He was a good boy in front of Maodun, but he was a man-eating beast in front of others.
, the Huns were all afraid of him, and sometimes he would even kill people just because they looked at him, which made people panic and the tribe alienated.
The fourth son can drive. He is the most favored by Maodun because of his biological mother. However, because he is young and not powerful, he is often bullied by his two brothers. However, he has the best relationship with Jizhou.
She loves him very much and often takes him to play in various places. Every time she goes back, she will definitely bring him a gift.
Listening to Wu's words, Chen Ping squinted his eyes and quickly had an idea in his mind.
Among the four sons of Maodun, Jizhou is obviously the most perfect successor and has very strong methods. If he comes to power, he may be able to gather the tribes together faster than his father, unite them together, and become a serious problem for the Han Dynasty. The others
Several sons can be put to good use, especially Taogu, who has the most tense relationship with Jizhou. If such a lunatic is allowed to inherit Maodun's career, the Huns will destroy themselves.
"I plan to ask you to contact Dagu... The big man can help him ascend to the position of Chanyu of the Huns..."
Before Chen Ping finished speaking, the witch had already thrown out the stones in his hand and started divination.
Wu's face changed drastically, "My noble man! You can't do this! It's so cruel! If you do this, you will definitely fail!"
Chen Ping took a deep breath and asked coldly: "You don't want to go?"
The witch wanted to cry but had no tears and said hurriedly: "This is the result of divination..."
Seeing that Chen Ping's expression was getting worse, Wu You hurriedly explained: "What's more, this Chao Gu is famous for hating the Han Dynasty. He often tortured and killed prisoners, and even Mao Dun whipped him for this. Mao Dun wanted to do it before."
When negotiating peace with the Han Dynasty, he was the one who was most opposed to it. He said he would rather die than do this... If you don't believe it, you can ask other Huns, I am not telling lies..."
After hearing these words, Chen Ping began to think again. Mao Dun was a tyrant, but his son, let alone a king, was not very close to people. If what Wu said was true, then this guy could be used, but not
Contact...Chen Ping's target changed to the second child again, the outspoken one.
"You stay in Chang'an for a few days first...I will check whether your words are true. If you dare to lie to me..."
Chen Ping is still very cautious in doing things. He also wants to confirm the same thing from all aspects and will never believe what one family says. During this period of time, Wu Bian lived in a house in Chang'an, which was originally a place for food inspection.
His house was later ransacked and the place became empty. Somehow it fell into Chen Ping's hands.
During this period of time, the witch has been divining his next fate.
"It's fierce... it's fierce... something is going to happen now..."
Just as Wu was muttering to himself, a man suddenly walked in with great swagger.
Wu raised his head and saw the person in front of him clearly. He was immediately startled and hurriedly stood up to pay his respects, his whole body trembling with fear.
Of course the person coming was Liu Chang. After Chen Ping informed Liu Chang of the information he had collected, Liu Chang decided to come and see him.
Liu Chang is still quite curious about this witch. It is said that during his years in the Tang Dynasty, no matter what he calculated, he could always conclude that it was a failure, a serious disaster, and inappropriate. He had heard of defeatist counselors, but he had never heard of defeatism.
The wizard.
Liu Chang looked at him and said, "Have you ever been hungry after being caught by the widow?"
"Never."
"Since you are not allowed to starve, you should do something to repay my kindness!"
"yes!"
"I actually have no intention of fighting against the Huns. It's all because that man named Jizhu interfered and prevented me from obtaining supplies in Shuofang and starting with him. I had no choice but to do it!"
"You have surrendered to the Han, and besides, the Huns don't pay much attention to you... If you can help me, I will give you a title, so that you can live a rich life in the Tang Dynasty and protect your heirs!"
Wu nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you!!"
"Well, Chen Ping will tell you what to do about other things... The Xiongnu will perish in my hands sooner or later. If you want to get rich and live... just work for me with peace of mind.
I won’t treat you badly!”
Wu nodded again and asked, "Does your Majesty want to send me back to the Huns?"
"Oh, you're not stupid... I want you to contact the second prince... I want to be friends with him... and help him achieve great things."
The witch thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to divine this matter!"
Liu Chang shook his head and said, "Don't think about whether this thing can be successful or not. Just think about what the next fate of the Huns will be."
The witch nodded and hurriedly divined. Sure enough, as expected, the witch hurriedly shouted, "Scale! Something big is going to happen!"
Liu Chang felt that he gradually understood how to use this wizard. Next, Liu Chang asked him to calculate several times, including what would happen if he did not feel at ease working for Liu Chang, what would happen if he did not go to the Huns, and what would happen if he
Questions like what would happen if I escaped, etc., the wizard calculated the serious danger several times, and the whole person was extremely frightened.
Liu Chang finally understood that when this guy first learned witchcraft, he probably didn't learn how to calculate good luck, only how to calculate bad luck.
In the future, when you go out to fight, you can take this guy over and ask what will happen to the Xiongnu during this battle. This will definitely boost the morale of the army.
Satisfied, Liu Chang was about to leave, but stopped and asked, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Ge...Dawu Ge."
"You are the only one who is a great witch... Your tribe is simply the shabbiest tribe I have ever seen in my life... Take... this little money to buy new clothes... Who are these people...
.”
Liu Changdi muttered, turned around and left here.
...........
Facing Liu Chang, the anti-king, the attitude of the false sages was very complicated.
When Liu Chang came to Taixue at the invitation of Uncle Fu Qiu, the sages here had different expressions, some were happy, some were frightened, and some were angry... But Liu Chang didn't care, as long as these
As long as people can cultivate more talents for the big man, as for their attitude towards themselves, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, they don't dare to talk about themselves to their faces.
But Liu Chang's idea was quickly shattered.
"I heard that your Majesty is very kind to the king. He eats on the same mat and goes out in the same carriage. But now the king has occupied the palace, stationed his soldiers in Chang'an, and driven the emperor to the harem, where he controls
What’s the point of issuing orders arbitrarily in government affairs?!”
A Confucian scholar stood in front of Liu Chang and asked angrily.
The colleagues around him were immediately frightened by these remarks and were so frightened that they did not even dare to stay by his side anymore. Fu Qiubo, who was following Liu Chang, his face changed drastically at this moment, he was very angry and shouted
Said: "Bai Sheng! You can go back!"
This Confucian surnamed Bai is a disciple of Fuqiu Bo. However, Confucian disciples have never been very obedient. You can find this out by looking at the disciples of Xunzi.
This Bai Sheng, with a fiery personality and a strong personality, questioned Liu Chang like this in front of everyone.
This was not the first time. He had shown dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother before, and therefore broke up with the senior official Houlu. He could only assist Fu Qiubo in Taixue and be responsible for small things such as running errands. Faced with the teacher's
After reprimanding, Bai Sheng became even more angry, "Teacher once told me: Riches and honors cannot be kinky, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot bend!"
"Why do you want to succumb to power now?!"
"The king of Tang is a master of power. This is known to the whole world. Why doesn't anyone dare to oppose him?!"
Bai Sheng was very excited and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he had some evil thoughts towards the King of Tang.
The few soldiers who followed the King of Tang were about to step forward, but Liu Chang signaled them to step back. He looked at the Confucian scholar in front of him with great interest. He had seen many great Confucian scholars like Shusun Tong, and suddenly met a man who dared to reprimand him face to face.
Liu Chang, his own Confucian scholar, was very surprised.
"Your Majesty... please forgive his crime. He is my disciple. I only taught him the principles in the book, but I did not teach him the principles of life..." Fu Qiubo's eyes were full of worry.
, hurriedly interceded for his disciple.
"No need to plead! I would rather die than bow to the rebels!"
Bai Sheng was ready to insult him, but Fu Qiu Bo shouted loudly: "Shut up!!"
Liu Chang suddenly burst out laughing, ignoring the astonished people present, "Although you are stupid, you still have some backbone... I won't kill you... Come on, arrest this guy and let him go."
He will reflect for a few days in Tingwei!"
The soldiers then stepped forward to arrest him, and Bai Sheng was quickly taken away.
The atmosphere in the Taixue suddenly became a little different. Everyone was silent. Fu Qiu Bo was just sighing. Liu Chang didn't care about this. He took Fu Qiu Bo and sat down with the sages to discuss knowledge. Liu Changneng followed
The only knowledge these sages discussed was in mathematics.
Numeracy is also a great subject in this era. For example, Zhang Cang, whose talent is famous all over the world, is numeracy. Both Confucianism and Legalism attach great importance to numeracy. Huang Lao is average, but he is not ignorant, and he is an official.
The basic talents are still there.
During the conversation, everyone gradually became less restrained than before, and gradually started chatting, discussing various mathematical problems with Liu Chang.
This lecture, or debate, lasted for a day.
Everyone benefited a lot, and Liu Chang also managed to make a big impression in front of everyone. In the past, some people always thought that Liu Chang asked someone to help write his book on mathematics, and the most likely person was Zhang Cang. Fuqiu Bo
He also smiled and said: "I often hear others say that the king's books were written by others and were taken by the king. After today, no one dares to say that about the king anymore."
"Written by someone else?!"
Liu Chang was very angry and shouted: "I always seek truth from facts and never take credit from others!"
The sages who had already believed in Liu Chang were suddenly shaken after hearing these words.
The sages were busy on their own, so Liu Chang took Uncle Fuqiu with him, and they walked on the road together. When Liu Chang saw that there was no one else around, he smiled and said: "Master Fuqiu... In these days, what are you doing?"
It’s not very good...it’s hurting the few people!”
Uncle Fuqiu was stunned, "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"I am a rebel, and they are right to scold me in private... But you insist on standing up for me, arguing with people everywhere, saying that I have no choice... How can this be done?"
When Fu Qiu Bo heard this, he immediately shook his head and sighed again.
"Why is this so?"
"It doesn't matter, the rebels should be scolded... If no one scolds them, something big will happen."
"The king used his fame to buy peace... I am ashamed of myself."
"These are all small things. I am here to come to you, but there is actually another big thing."
"Please give me your orders, Your Majesty!"
Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, then said: "You also know... My mother previously set up Chinese studies in various places to cultivate talents... Now, one Chinese study in one county has become the standard... The teacher's question is not difficult
The solution is rarely the problem of books... My brother abolished the crime of collecting books... and allowed people to keep books in their homes."
"I also admire your brother's benevolent policies."
"However, there are still very few books circulating in various places. Those who have a collection of books at home will never let outsiders take a look unless they are close to them..."
"I want to take out the books in the palace and distribute them to various places. However, there are also many useful books in the local collections... I know that you have a lot of books in your home. If you can take out the books and copy them, they can be used to spread them to the world.
Explore and train more talents from various places... That will really help me a lot."
"My collection of books alone will not be of much use...Does the king want me to call on sages who have books in their homes to copy them and present them to the king?"
Uncle Fuqiu was indeed a smart man, and he quickly understood Liu Chang's thoughts.
Liu Chang nodded and said proudly: "You may not believe it, but I do have a way to copy a large number of books, and I can make every penny right!"
"Although I don't like reading, books are indeed a good thing. If I don't read, I can let everyone in the world read them!"
"There are really too few people in the world who can read and write, and the main reason is that there are too few books... I am planning to set up bookstores, just like wine shops and restaurants, so that books can be spread everywhere as quickly as possible... The big man is in the minority
Our hands will definitely become bigger and bigger, and the number of talents needed will only increase. I want everyone in the world to be able to read!"
"Your Majesty is truly a wise king like Yao and Shun!"
"The king has such ambitions, how dare I not help the king with all my strength?"
"I will write a letter to all my friends now and persuade them to copy the book and present it to the king!"
"However, does your Majesty have any way to copy a large number of books?"
Liu Chang laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's not difficult to explain this... Have you ever played in mud?"
Fuqiubao was confused and just shook his head blankly.
The Han Dynasty's Shang Fang Agency is also busy at this moment. However, in Liu Chang's hands, Shang Fang has changed from an agency that creates objects for the royal family to an invention agency. Therefore, it is also very secretive. Outsiders have no idea what they are busy with.
I don't know what their latest achievements are.
Only the soldiers guarding the surroundings could see these Shang Fang people walking around holding wooden boards. They were stained with a lot of ink, and they kept walking in holding books. The soldiers looked at each other and began to make
Did you start studying through books later? Isn’t it too late?
After Liu Chang took over power, things in the temple suddenly became busy, and Liu Chang issued several political orders in succession.
What Liu Chang gave was very casual, and he decided directly as soon as his brain got hot. However, the ministers had to discuss it seriously, make improvements, and implement it step by step. It can be said that when Liu Chang opened his mouth, the ministers broke their legs. Chen Ping because of his
The reason for being an official is better, but Zhou Chang and Zhang Cang are already a little unable to bear it.
Zhang Cang, who could not be crushed by hundreds of beautiful women, was almost exhausted by Liu Chang's frequent decrees.
They can only hope that these decrees will be effective as scheduled, so that their work will not be in vain.
As for Liu Chang who gave the order, he was currently in Houde Hall, eating meat from a big bowl and drinking a lot of wine. It was a very comfortable life.
