"King of Nanyue...when will you decide when to return to Nanyue?"
"Ahem, I'm old, the journey back and forth is too far away, I'm afraid I can't go back."
Zhao Tuo explained the reason, tore open the mutton in his hand, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and began to chew.
Liu Chang was silent for a moment.
This was the first time Liu Chang saw such a shameless person. Zhao Tuo's physical condition was more flexible than Shu Sun Tong's moral bottom line. When needed, he looked like he was in his life. Liu Chang remembered it very clearly. About ten years ago, Zhao Tuo had such a life, but he still hadn't changed at all. His teeth were still very easy to use, and he could eat meat, and there was no wrinkles on his face. If he hadn't known that this guy was a lie under the command of the First Emperor, Liu Chang would have doubted his real age.
"If you stay in Chang'an, don't leave? How can you make the truth that the outer king has lived in Chang'an for a long time?!"
When Zhao Tuo heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, "What Your Majesty said makes sense. Nanyue cannot have no king for a long time. Let's go back and inherit the throne!"
Zhao Shi's face, who was still echoing, suddenly became stiff.
"Father! Why am I going back?"
"You are the prince, who will go back if you don't go back?"
"But you are still alive..."
"No, just pretend I'm gone..."
Both father and son didn't want to return to Nanyue, but the reasons were different. Zhao Tuo didn't want to go back, but he just didn't want to go back to face the guy who was more difficult than Liu Chang. The guy looked kind and gentle and respectful, but he was so stupid and full of bad water. Zhao Tuo had a fight with him in front of Liu Chang for a while. At that time, Zhao Tuo knew in his heart that he was not the opponent of this guy, so he should stay in Chang'an. He had his grandson and great-grandson here. If he was lucky, he might even see great-grandson...
The fourth brother of the Liu family is not a good thing. Unlike Liu Chang, who shouts all day long and doesn't do anything. He smiles and compliments you and then deals you with you. He doesn't know how to die.
Zhao Tuo's original many old brothers often persuaded Zhao Tuo to cultivate his own power and wait for the opportunity before doing things. As a result, those people were gone. For various reasons, some of them were even instigated and killed each other after being instigated. Zhao Tuo didn't react and lay down and smiled.
Zhao Tuo also saw it. It was unrealistic for him to become king and dominate the situation in the present situation. The Huns were beaten to run around the world. What kind of reliance on his small Nanyue Kingdom? Natural danger? Wu, Changsha and Yunnan are eyeing each other, and there is still a big natural danger.
It would be better to stay in Chang'an and enjoy the happiness and never go back to play against the fourth brother.
But Zhao Shi is different. He stayed in Chang'an purely because Chang'an is better.
The capital of Nanyue is not as good as an ordinary county in the Central Plains, let alone compared to Chang'an? He simply doesn't want to go back and endure hardships.
Seeing Ah Father's firm attitude, Zhao Shi probably accepted his fate.
"Okay, Nanyue can't be without a master for a day!"
"Mi, then you go back! I will stay and serve Ah Father!"
Zhao Mei's face suddenly became stiff.
"Father...it's not my turn, right?"
Looking at the unreliable three generations of grandparents in front of him, Liu Chang just shook his head helplessly and ate another bite of the sheep. This sheep was obviously not enough for the three of them. Liu Chang, Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Shi were all tall and big, and Zhao Mei was thinner. Anyway, the other three people had a very unified style, with two bears sitting beside a bear king.
“This lamb is good…”
"Then bring some back to An, Bo and the others."
"good."
Liu Chang nodded and looked at Zhao Tuo again, "The kings of the Western Regions are coming to pay their respects, you have to do me a favor."
“What’s the busy thing?”
"Lu Jia has important things recently and cannot get out of here. If you let Qi and Zhu take responsibility and are afraid of bad things, when they come, you will live with them and interact more. I am too lazy to scare so many people... and you will help me build momentum."
"I see."
"Then I won't have to go back to South Vietnam for the time being, right?"
"Okay...you stay...I have ordered Chao Cuo to come, and I will talk about it when Chao Cuo is here."
Zhao Tuo was stunned and asked, "You didn't transfer Shentu Jia, but Chao Cuo?"
"Yes, Shen Tu Jia cannot leave the South Vietnamese country for the time being."
Zhao Tuo suddenly laughed, "If Chao Cuo comes, then Chang'an will be lively. It was originally a battle between Zhidu and Zhang Shizhi, and Zhang Buyi came to suppress them. Now that Chao Cuo comes, the offensive and defensive momentum is different. These Legalists are about to cause a big problem..."
"It just so happens that if they make more trouble, how can they learn? When King Wei of Qi followed Tian Ji's opinion and built the Jixia Academy... Many people quarreled in the academy, and even beat each other. In the end, a large number of great sages emerged? Today's great men are different from the past. Only by letting the hundreds of schools continue to argue can they generate more excellent knowledge. At that time, I will not have to worry about having nothing to use."
Zhao Mei wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhao Tuo nodded and said in agreement: "Your Majesty's idea is correct... Nowadays, the achievements of various factions are all arguing, so it's better for them to argue again."
After seeing off Chang Liu, Zhao Mei couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty is worthy of being Your Majesty, and has a deep knowledge. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I wouldn't know that the Jixia Academy turned out to be Tian Ji's idea."
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is Tian Ji?"
...........
In fact, Emperor Gao was not uneducated. Emperor Gao could understand the memorials of Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others, and could still negotiate with them. The pavilion chief of Qin could not buy it. The only thing that Qin could buy was a title, and it had to be in a specific period, such as a shortage of food in wars and a disaster occurred. At this time, the temple would order specific groups to obtain low-level titles by offering millet.
Official positions are not sold, and must pass legal assessment.
This assessment is very strict and is carried out by the county officials themselves and has to go through three consecutive inspections. Therefore, it is unrealistic to become an official through demonstration or bribery.
Liu Bang was a grassroots civil servant in Daqin who had read books, knew words, and was able to pass the "Qin Law Test".
Therefore, it is still a bit inappropriate to treat him as an ignorant and ignorant person. He probably doesn’t read much, but his memory should be good. After all, there are many laws in the Qin Dynasty, and it is still a little difficult to recite them in full to deal with the exam.
Liu Bang could understand allusions, use allusions correctly, and chat and laugh with the bigwigs of various sects and examine their knowledge... In this way, it is likely that the characteristics of a certain Li King in this regard are from his mother family.
Zhao Tuo's words gave Liu Chang a new inspiration.
It was at this time that the first letter "Shangdi" written by Zhidu was printed and distributed to various places by Chang'an's residence, continued to be printed in various places, and then distributed to local areas. This was a brand new attempt. The people of Chang'an saw this brand new sai the next day, called "Biaosi".
This is also a business run by the government, and what they sell seems to be news?
After the newspaper store opened, the first person who came was the Tai students. These people had known that there was such a thing, and they couldn't wait to come and take a look. Under the guidance of Tai students, officials, scholars, merchants and others started to buy it. Anyway, the price of this thing was very cheap, and these people could still afford it. As for ordinary people, they dare not be so extravagant. Of course, they may not be able to understand it even if they bought it.
At the same time, the Tingwei improved the law and added several laws, including the punishment for intentional misreading the content of the diary, the punishment for the three-a-class. The punishment for intentional modification, destruction, imitation of the diary, and the punishment for the imitation of the diary.
This is a new thing for the Han people.
This residence was originally just the only enjoyment of the county and county magistrates, and there was no share of the people. Unexpectedly, they could read the newspaper. The students of the Taishu cheered and the Taishu students of the Han Dynasty were particularly enthusiastic about major events in the temple. From the beginning of its establishment to the demise of the Han Dynasty, the Taishu students were always active in the temple. Basically, they could see their shadows in everything, and even rebellion had them. Now they had the best way to understand the temple's policies. What a good thing.
What's more, some of the articles here were written by their classmates.
These people naturally became famous and became the best among their peers.
Of course, the same is true for those literati. After their works became the object of observation in the world, they suddenly realized.
Zhidu captured them, not to harm them, this is helping them, this thing can be seen all over the world... What a good way to make a name for himself. Zhang Sheng, who wrote the first policy, became a celebrity in Chang'an for a moment. Many friends who had never had contact with him took newspapers to find him, and his expression became very enthusiastic.
Some Chehou men in Chang'an also sent someone to invite him to their mansion to attend the banquet, and wanted to turn him into their son-in-law.
The other scholars were envious and their eyes began to spit out.
The first impact of the Dibao was reflected in these authors. These people visited Zhidu with gifts, but they couldn't even enter his door. Then, Zhidu became a fragrant bun in the eyes of literati. What a cruel official? He was obviously a wise man in the temple, and some literati even wrote articles overnight to describe Zhidu's virtues.
This infamous cruel official in history was immediately popular with scholars because of this position. The scribes were even more excited about his indifferent attitude. They were so cold that they were not moved by external things. In this way, everyone's opportunities were fair, and no one could bribe him and let him be appointed.
Zhidu has a high reputation among scholars, and so is Tongwen Mansion. Every day, a large number of scholars gather in front of the gate to ask if they need to serve.
Zhidu also knew in his heart that he could not make a title every time. So he ordered that these literati be allowed to submit freely and write anything. If they are well written, they can be published. As for policies, I will talk about it when the next issue of the diary is held. These articles can be used as additional items and take up a grid in the diary next time.
This made the Tongwen Mansion suddenly popular. Not only those famous scholars, but also some ministers and nobles, they also wrote articles to send them. At the same time, scholars from all over the world rushed towards Chang'an.
In addition to the influence of the author himself, the influence of the work was also slowly brewing. Many people learned from the newspaper that the temple policies were different from what they thought. The military achievements and many policies of the Han Dynasty over the years made them realize that in the past few people could know the things that the temple had to do, except for the officials.
Now, they finally know what the temple is going to do, and the world is immersed in this sense of freshness. Because Empress Lü abolished the crime of ignorance, they dared to use the newspaper to talk about national affairs. For a time, all parts of Chang'an were talking about the achievements and policies of the Han Dynasty over the years.
Not everyone agrees with this situation.
Many ministers submitted memorials, hoping that Your Majesty could restore his crimes. They believed that it was very dangerous for people in the world to talk about major events in the temple so unrestrainedly, and it was easy to get into trouble.
Liu Chang didn't expect that the one who opposes the most fiercely among these people was Liu Jing.
"So what about them? Are you still afraid that they will know? As long as the temple's policies are correct, who will object?"
Liu Jing said seriously: "Your Majesty, the policies of the temple cannot satisfy everyone. Some policies are beneficial to some people, but they are very unfavorable to some people. Especially the government decrees you have taken office after you take office are almost all policies that are unfavorable to those who look down on the temple. The real beneficiaries look down on the temple. Today they gather together to talk about these things, sooner or later will become a resistance to the temple's implementation of many policies!"
"Even those beneficiaries may not be able to bear the affection. They will not understand what the temple wants to do. They will only obey people with higher status than themselves and blindly obey. His Majesty's behavior cannot see any benefits, but only many disadvantages."
"The advantage is to set up a temple to make people all over the world know what the temple is going to do, so that they don't think about it!"
"But they don't need to know... Now His Majesty has given them a chance to think randomly. In the past, they may not dare to think randomly."
"Will they not think about it if I don't set up a mansion to report? Will those people blindly obey? I want to control public opinion in the world!"
Liu Jing is a relatively tough person, otherwise he would not have said "You will definitely be defeated this time" when Emperor Gao was about to go to war.
Seeing that Liu Chang insisted on his own ideas, Liu Jing said toughly, "The hidden dangers of the destruction of the country start from Your Majesty!"
So, Chang Liu shouted "Old Dog", flew out, threw Liu Jing down, and swung his fist.
The court held a big chaos, but fortunately there were many powerful generals here. Chai Wu, Chen He, Guo Meng, Zhang Wu, Song Chang, Lu Qing and other slightly younger military officers went into battle. They wanted to stop the emperor because they were worried that Liu Jing would be beaten to death by the emperor. Zhou Chang looked at these ministers anxiously, but couldn't help but curse at the young generals beside him: "Why don't you go?"
Zhou Shengzhi, Lu Tazhi, Zhou Yafu, Fan Kang and others woke up and hurried forward and pressed the old ministers to start fighting.
"Let you stop His Majesty! What are you stopping Chai Wu and the others?!"
At this time, the ministers couldn't help but sigh that Wuyang Wuhou still died too early. If he was still there, at least he could still hold His Majesty.
Liu Jing was taken down by the court magistrate at that time, and Liu Chang was about to calm down.
Such a big thing happened in the temple, but the ministers were quite calm. Anyway, this happened before. During the Liu Bang period, this was the norm. Court officials had to fight from time to time. The thieves in Pei County always helped Liu Bang beat the ministers, which was no longer surprising.
After the court meeting ended, Liu Chang left his own wise men and the rest left.
"Actually, what Liu Jing said is not completely unreasonable... I have thought that officials from all over the country, township and county can explain the content of the newspaper to the people. The three elders from all over the country should not be idle, let them do things. This newspaper cannot be just for those rich people to see..."
Zhou Shengzhi was a little confused, "Your Majesty, since you think what Liu Jing said makes sense, why do you still beat him?"
"I am protecting him! He still has to thank me!"
"He has been doing extreme things these days, and the memorials for impeachment have piled up in mountains. Look, when I want to take action today, those people are just pretending to be nervous and still feel secretly happy... Of course, he shouldn't say bad things about me when discussing the court! That Sima Ruyi is still remembering! This guy is not in dealing with me. He doesn't know how much ink he has to write about Liu Jing's words!"
Fan Kang rubbed his hands, "Master, why not kill Sima Xi?"
"It's easy to kill him, but what about the next one? Then I'm going to be Cui Ji?"
Zhou Yafu thought for a moment, then woke up and said, "Your Majesty is right. Cui Zhu's affairs should be taken as a warning."
Liu Chang looked at his own wise men. It was not easy for him. The Han Dynasty had used troops everywhere and had tight troops. He was recruiting soldiers at this moment. These people were all used by Han Xin and were busy training. According to Han Xin's words, training and fighting were the behavior of the generals throughout their lives. Han Xin looked down on the original methods of training and personally formulated a set of training methods, so that everyone could train the army according to his methods, and re-formulated the composition of the army.
He divided the Northern Army into six divisions, each division had a captain, called the Northern Army Captain, and each army was responsible for different skills.
At the same time, he banned the original Chief Shi and Chief Bo. He lowered the power of the Chief of the Sei and Chief of the Sei and Chief of the Qu.
In addition to these, Han Xin is also ready to rectify the local army.
The wise men were troubled by Han Xin, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
"Your Majesty, we haven't gathered for a long time..."
"Yes, but the Grand Marshal refused to let anyone go... I went to see him last time, and he scolded me, saying that you are not worthy of attending the banquet at this level..."
Xiahouzao gritted his teeth, "Huaiyin Hou bullies people too much... Is this unreasonable?!"
