For Liu An, the happiest days are when his parents are away.
He was free to do what he wanted, such as reading all day long, sneaking into the Xuanshi Hall to watch the performance, and inviting the students to debate with them until dark.
Liu An had many friends in Taixue, whether they were Confucian, Legalist or Huang Lao, they all admired this young master. He read poetry and books in peace and contentment, was knowledgeable, knew poetry and was able to enjoy music, and was better than the King of Chu.
For the King of Chu, Liu An can not only play musical instruments, but can even sing normally.
This made Liu Chang very happy. He was originally worried that he would be tone-deaf like his father, crying and howling when he sang. But he didn't expect that in terms of singing, this Zhuzi was finally like his father and had his own style! In fact,
Liu Chang's singing is also quite unpleasant, even worse than Liu Bang's.
However, he felt that his singing was very powerful and moving. Didn't you see that Zhang Buyi and the others enjoyed listening to it so much that they even danced to his own song? Could this be fake?
And Liu An can really sing, and he also likes ritual music. He can play the music along with the Tai students and sing high-pitched wind songs, which makes everyone who listens moved.
Every time Liu An went out, he would always meet many scribes, and these people would take the initiative to come and salute. They looked at Liu An with complicated eyes, and they were all looking forward to the day when he would come to power. They believed that the young master would be safe and sound.
He will be an unprecedented benevolent king and a knowledgeable and sage emperor!
I don’t know how such a tyrannical king gave birth to such a son. No matter how you look at it, this one looks more like the son of King Wu or King Chu.
Of course, unlike Liu An's popularity, Liu Xiang's popularity is much lower. He plays well with his peers, but he is not popular with his elders. When he goes out on weekdays, the officials avoid him for fear of
The words "Zhongfu" came out of his mouth.
Among them, the most haggard one is probably Wang Tianqi. Wang Tianqi was once forced by Liu Xiang and others to resign and leave.
However, they are not without fear. In Chang'an, in addition to elders like Liu Chang and Queen Lu, there are also Zhang Buyi, Zhou Chang, Chen Ping, Chai Wu and others who can actually suppress them, especially Zhang
Buyi, Zhang Buyi never tolerated them, not even Liu An. The only person he believed in was Liu Chang.
After Liu Chang realized that the Queen Mother was going to officially abolish the throne, he hurriedly decided to go to Bashu.
Of course, there are still a few things that need to be done before leaving.
The sages once again appeared in the palace of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Chang stretched out two fingers and said seriously: "I need two people to follow me to Bashu!"
"Your Majesty! Let me go!"
Zhou Shengzhi was the first to speak, and then he also stated his reasons, "I have visited the most places in Bashu and know the most about it. With me following you, your Majesty will not be deceived."
"Your Majesty, I will go too..."
The second person to speak was Xia Houzao. He said seriously: "Although the king is brave, if he drinks alcohol, he needs someone to protect him. Among them, I am the bravest, so I should be allowed to follow him!"
Everyone did not refute. Xiahou Zao's martial arts value was indeed very high. Although it was not as good as the king, Liu Chang shook his head and said, "You should follow Zhou Yafu... Ming, you go with me."
"Ah? OK."
Mr. and Mrs. Fan were very happy, with smiles on their faces. They looked at Xiahou Zao proudly and said, "Your Majesty also knows that I am much more reliable than you in doing things."
Xiahou Zao suddenly felt aggrieved, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go?"
"The other side of Hexi... still needs an army to rescue. I plan to let Yafu lead the people there... You can be his vanguard, he can lead the cavalry, and he can be responsible for the food and grass..."
Mr. Fan nodded with a smile. Suddenly, he realized something and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! What do you mean by this?!"
"People from Ahe City stay and pay more attention to the situation in the city...especially the situation in the Shaofu... Jian and Zhong will be responsible for delivering the news. If necessary, you can contact Liu Zhang."
Liu Chang gave orders one by one. The sages at the time were now barely able to be used. Whether they were used for war or domestic use, this was a victory for the sages. They stopped messing around and accepted the king's order seriously.
I swear that I will not betray the king's trust.
However, after discussing the business, the group of sages quickly returned to their original state. Zhou Jian shook Shengzhi's arm with a smile and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to be careful when going to Bashu this time.
Ah, you have killed so many Bashu barbarians, and you want to take revenge if you lose to them. If something happens to you, I don’t even know which title I should inherit..."
"Haha, you are such a bastard! Your Majesty, I want to submit a letter! I will never leave the title to this bastard!"
Zhou Shengzhi laughed angrily.
When the people from Fan City heard this, they immediately looked at their brother. Fan and his wife yelled: "If you look at Nai Gong again, I will break your legs!"
Chen Mai also adjusted his clothes and said seriously: "My father is still so strong. It seems that I can only follow him to Hexi and do some military service. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to get this title..."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and if word spread about what the sages said in private, half of the founding heroes would be angered to death.
Guan A sat next to Liu Chang and reminded him with a wink: "Your Majesty, don't be misled by the beauties of Bashu... I heard that the queen has moved into Jiaofang Palace. If you bring a few back, I'm afraid you will be beaten."
The Queen Mother’s beating!”
Liu Chang scolded angrily: "Who do you think I am? I am here to deal with those merchants, how could I be distracted by my beauty?"
After explaining the affairs of the virtuous people, Liu Chang met with Zhang Cang, Zhou Chang, Zhao Ping and several others from Jiuqing.
At first, Zhou Chang still disliked Zhang Cang because of his personal ethics. However, after Zhang Cang left, Liu Chang's series of actions made Zhou Chang regret it. Zhang Cang is still indispensable in the temple, so
, this time Zhang Cang came back, Zhou Chang's attitude towards him changed a lot, and he was no longer as indifferent as before.
"Master, when you come back this time, you must complete this official matter."
Liu Chang grinned.
"That is natural. Since it is what the king has ordered, I will definitely do my best to do it and will not let down the king's high expectations."
"Then how long will it take Master?"
"Not much, ten years is enough!"
Zhou Chang looked at Zhang Cang blankly, ten years? Do you really dare to say that?
Sure enough, Liu Chang jumped up immediately, "Ten years? Master is joking?"
Zhang Cang was very serious, "Your Majesty, it took Qin more than sixty years to formulate the official system. The Han Dynasty inherited the system of Qin, and it is still changing. If your Majesty wants to establish a system that can be used for thousands of years, then
Why do you think ten years is too long? Since I do something, I must do it the best. If I finish it hastily and there are any problems in the future, it will not be the king's fault, but the king's fault!"
"Don't you, Your Majesty, want to create a thousand-year foundation for the Han Dynasty? Isn't ten years a long time compared to a thousand-year foundation?!"
Zhang Cang's few questions left Liu Chang speechless.
Liu Chang couldn't answer, so he directly used the ancestral Jisi, "I don't care, anyway, when I come back, you have to do it well. It has to be done, and it has to be done well, enough for a thousand years. If it can't be done,
, don’t blame me for ignoring friendship!”
Zhang Cang had already guessed that this brat would fall out, and was not surprised at all. In Zhou Chang's stunned eyes, the world-famous scholar also used Ji Si and sat down in front of Liu Chang nonchalantly.
, supporting his body with both hands, "Forget it, it can't be done! Your Majesty, please kill me now!!"
Liu Chang was furious, "Master is a great scholar, how could he do such a rogue thing?"
"Your Majesty can do it as a human king, so why can't I?"
Liu Chang took a deep breath and said helplessly: "One year!"
"Five years!"
"Three years!"
"Then four years! In these four years, Your Majesty, you don't have to rush me. I will definitely handle this matter to your satisfaction. But if Your Majesty rushes you and messes up the rules, then I don't know how long it will take..."
The two quickly reached an agreement, and Zhou Chang was stunned when he saw it. No wonder Zhang Cang was able to rule the king. It turned out that the two of them were... complementary to each other. What Liu Chang wanted them to do was not only official matters, but also education.
Unfortunately, Zhang Cang refused the king's request on the pretext that he wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to the official system, and asked the king to find someone else.
Liu Chang had no choice but to look at Zhou Chang, "Prime Minister Zhou...after I leave, you will have to worry more about the medical clinic and the county school."
"These are the future strategies of the Han Dynasty, and they cannot be changed easily... There is also the matter of customizing the coins..."
"Xia Wuqi is responsible for the medical clinic, Shusun Tong is responsible for the county school, and Zhang Shizhi is responsible for the coin affairs. You should supervise them more. It is best to finish these things before I come back!"
There are still people to do the specific things. What Liu Chang wants Zhou Chang to do is to urge these people to complete it. If Zhou Chang is not in charge, it will be much more difficult for them to do things. Zhou Chang narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang hesitantly.
Cang seemed to be thinking about whether to sit down for a while. Liu Chang saw his intention and hurriedly said with a smile: "It would be no problem if we finish it later."
Zhou Chang then nodded and agreed to Liu Chang.
"By the way, there is also the matter of Chidao..."
Zhou Chang learned quickly, "Your Majesty, I want to devote myself to handling this matter, I'm afraid I can't be distracted!"
Liu Chang looked at Zhao Ping helplessly, and Zhao Ping smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I am busy working after Hexi and promoting new rice... I am willing to do things for the King, but I am afraid that I can't do it well.
."
Liu Chang sighed, looked around the crowd, and his eyes fell on the newly promoted Jiuqing Yang Chengyan.
Yang Chengyan's official position at the moment is Sikong. Sikong is a very ancient official position, mainly responsible for construction projects.
It was abolished during the Qin Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty did not copy Qin's system, it also abolished Sikong. Now Liu Chang has established it again.
Mainly because Liu Chang had to do too many projects and had to have a dedicated person in charge of them. When Liu Chang first started, he couldn't find anyone to take the job. Later, Zhou Chang recommended Yang Chengyan to Liu Chang. It is said that
, this Yang Chengyan participated in several major projects in the early Han Dynasty, including Chang'an City, which was designed and constructed by this person.
Because of such merit, he also received the title of Marquis of Wuqi and served as Changle. Under the command of the Shaofu, because Liu Chang needed the position of Sikong, he was promoted to Sikong. However, currently, his subordinates as Sikong are empty.
, not many people can use it.
There were so many things that Chang Liu had to do, and the ministers were a little overwhelmed. He glanced at Chen Ping. Chen Ping was not afraid. He had been busy dealing with the memorials all day. If the king was not afraid of the accumulation of memorials,
Like a mountain, you can let yourself take care of it.
In the end, Liu Chang decided to use the empty Wuqi Hou Yangchengyan.
"Mr. Yang...then you can only handle this Chidao matter personally. Before I come back, you have to handle two or three Chidao, right? If you can't handle it well, don't blame me.
Regardless of friendship...I want you to go to Tingwei..."
Yang Chengyan glanced at Zhang Cang, mustered up his courage, and began to follow suit, "Your Majesty! The time is too tight and I can't do it. Your Majesty, please let me serve as a court captain now!"
Liu Chang was furious, "Come here, let me throw this guy into the imperial palace!"
Seeing the soldiers starting to drag him away, Yang Chengyan suddenly panicked. How could this be different from what he had just seen? He hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! It can be done! It can be done!"
But the soldiers didn't care about this and just dragged him away.
Liu Chang looked at Wang Tianqi displeased and said: "This guy has become Jiuqing, and he can't see himself clearly. Let him stay with you for a few days to calm down, and then let him go to work!"
"only!"
Liu Chang explained everything to the ministers, and in the end only Zhao Ping and Zhang Cang were left behind, and the others left. It was the first time that the king did not stay, and Zhou Chang was very excited. Finally, he could
After getting off work as usual with the ministers, he didn't have to work overtime. He walked towards the gate happily, but when he reached the palace gate, he suddenly hesitated. He was stunned for a long time, and then walked back with crutches.
Liu Chang looked at Zhou Chang who had left and returned in surprise, "Does Prime Minister Zhou have any other instructions?"
"Dare...dare...dare to ask your Majesty, why do you despise me so much?!"
"Ah? How could I ever despise you?"
"If you don't take it lightly, why do you have to leave first when discussing state affairs?"
Liu Chang was stunned. Haven't you been complaining all the time? You have always said that you want to resign and take a rest. Today, you are asked to go back early. Why are you not happy? This is an old man.
"Then Duke Zhou will stay."
"Humph, the king can just ask Duke Zhang and Zhao Xiang for advice!"
Zhou Chang turned around and left angrily. Liu Chang watched him leave blankly, turned to Zhang Cang and asked, "What does he mean?"
Zhang Cang chuckled lightly, "Prime Minister Zhou regards himself as the king's confidant, but now the king treats him differently. He is naturally resentful."
"Hahaha, I see, it is indeed an honor for the minister to be my confidant!"
Liu Chang was delighted. After asking the two of them to sit down, he said seriously: "There is one thing that I can only entrust to you... After I leave, please make sure that my mother will not force my brother to abdicate.
..especially beware of Chen Ping. If you want to deal with Chen Ping, you can only use the power of another person..."
Zhao Ping was stunned and asked: "Who?"
Zhang Cang laughed, "Whoever is missing in today's court meeting is that person."
Zhao Ping recalled it, his face turned ugly, and he asked disdainfully: "Is it Zhang Buyi, that thief?"
"The king should be talking about his father, Liuhou."
"As expected of me, I am my master! That's right, it's Liuhou!"
Liu Chang said seriously: "Only a cunning person can deal with a cunning person!"
........
At this moment, Zhang Buyi was serving his father with a smile, gently rubbing his shoulders, with a flattering look, which was completely different from his previous expression. To be honest, Zhang Liang was shocked by his son's words.
His expression was shocked. Normally, this Zhu Zi would be frightened and uneasy when seeing him. Why did he become like this today?
"Father, I am usually busy with state affairs and cannot come to serve you. I really shouldn't..."
"Today, let me stay by your side and serve you for a few more moments to fulfill my filial piety."
Zhang Liang nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "How long will your Majesty ask you to stay with me?"
"Wait for two hours..."
Zhang Buyu was suddenly stunned and smiled awkwardly, "Father, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty is planning to let Chen Ping go and let me bear the bad reputation, right?"
"This is definitely not the case... Your Majesty has great respect for you..."
"Oh... forget it, just keep pressing."
"Okay!"
Zhang Liang squinted his eyes, enjoying the sudden filial piety from Zhu Zi. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, "No doubt... Do you know why the king asked you to find me?"
"have no idea."
"He wants to stop the Queen Mother and Chen Ping. The Queen Mother wants to make the king the emperor immediately."
"ah???"
Zhang Buyi was stunned again, and then he was ecstatic, "Is what Father said true??"
"However, the King actually sent you to stop Chen Ping... You should be more anxious than the Queen Mother to let the King do it..."
Before Zhang Liang finished speaking, Zhang Buyu flew away from him like a gust of wind, and soon disappeared.
Zhang Liang was silent for a moment.
This guy has really surrendered to the enemy.
...
When Mr. and Mrs. Fan returned home to prepare for departure, they found that the house was extremely lively. After asking, they found out that it was their sister who had brought Bo back home. Mr. and Mrs. Fan were overjoyed and hurriedly walked towards the inner room.
He wanted to hug his nephew and kiss him. As soon as he walked into the inner courtyard, he saw the menacing Qing.
"Hahaha, Qing..."
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Fan were about to speak, Fan Qing pinched his arm and screamed in pain.
"what you do?!"
"I still want to ask you what you want to do?! You actually want to give me a beauty from Bashu to your elder?! How can there be a brother like you in the world?!"
Fan Qing pinched and beat him, showing no mercy to his brother.
Mr. Fan immediately understood that he had been framed by the king. He could only keep explaining, but Qing did not listen to him and was annoyed. Wuyang Hou was furious, "I did it! How do you treat me?"
!”
Fan Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the inner room.
"Mom!!!"
At that moment, Marquis Wuyang's face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
