Chapter 391 What Big Things Could Happen in Chang'an?
Jinan County is the former Boyang County.
When Emperor Gao first appointed his eldest son Liu Fei as the King of Qi, he returned to Qi with seven counties including Linzi, Boyang, Jibei, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Chengyang, and Langya. At that time, Qi was really dominant in the east of the Central Plains.
, unstoppable, the seven counties and millions of people could draw out 200,000 soldiers to fight at any time. With Cao Shen as the prime minister, Emperor Gao was really good to his eldest son.
Of course, the Qi State is no longer possible now. Jibei County was cut off by Tang State, Jiaodong County was granted to Liu Jian, Jiaoxi County was originally granted to Liu Ju, Chengyang County was granted to Liu Zhang, and Langya County was granted to Liu Xingju.
The only counties that Liu Xiang can still control are Linzi and Boyang.
In the last year, Liu Hun, the king of Jiaoxi, broke the law, and Liu Chang changed him to King Beiting, and was granted the title of the Western Regions. He changed Jiaoxi into a county and returned it to Qi. He also changed the Boyang County of Qi to Jinan County.
, take back the use of the temple.
The establishment of Jinan County in the temple was not to target Qi or other countries. Qi was not worth worrying about now. This was Liu Jing's idea, mainly for Jishui. Liu Jing was trying to use water transportation to replace the original land transportation and to transfer the grain from the east.
The materials and wealthy families were transported to the temple by water, which was quick and convenient. Zhang Buyi also agreed very much. He felt that it would be too convenient to let him fall into the water on the spot if he encountered a wealthy family that was difficult to deal with.
The people of Qi don’t like Liu Chang very much.
The ones that are least welcome are some of the great men and wealthy families in Qi. The people are not bad. Qi has a strong cultural atmosphere. These cultural people do not like Liu Chang. Of course, they do not like Liu Bang. They like Liu Ying very much.
It is also good to have Liu Fei, King Liu Jiao of Chu and King Wu. In such a place, it is really not easy to produce a great man like Fu Sheng who praises Liu Chang.
Liu Ying respects these literati very much. Liu Fei, Liu Jiao, Liu Heng and others are similar. They have also summoned domestic talents to keep them by their side. But Liu Bang and Liu Chang have a very bad attitude towards these people.
Liu Bang was completely offended by the Confucian scholars of Qi and urinated in their crown. If it weren't for Shusun Tong, it would be hard to say whether Confucianism could last until Emperor Wu.
And Liu Chang even more. Not only would he pee into the Confucian scholar's crown, but he would also let Confucian scholars wear this hat to do things for him!
Liu Bang was just not polite to Confucianism, while Liu Chang was not polite to any school.
Jinan, south of the Ji River, the literary style of Qi is also very strong here.
When Liu Chang's car came here, the local county magistrate led ministers and local people to visit. These are all famous local scholars, not only Confucian scholars, but also other schools of thought, including scholars from Qidi.
, It is not that Confucianism occupies the mainstream, but at present, Huang Lao is better.
Thanks to Liu Fei, it is a tradition for Qi to use Huang Lao to govern the country. Today, the King of Qi Liu Xiang is also using Huang Lao’s learning to govern the country.
Although these old men of Huang don’t like His Majesty coming from thousands of miles to find a Confucian scholar, they thought that this great scholar was also in their own territory, so they didn’t feel that they were so resistant.
President Liu got off the car and met with many officials here.
The county magistrate of Jinan County is also an old acquaintance of Liu Chang, Ji Tong.
The former censor of the Tang Kingdom was the one who made the trap of the Tang King.
Although this Marquis of Xiangping Ji Tong, who is the second generation Marquis of Che, is different from the current wise men. He is the group of people who have seriously beaten Xiang Yu with Emperor Gao, and is ranked 56th among the heroes.
The book records that this person attended the Hongmen Banquet with Emperor Gao, while the Records of the Grand Historian said that the participant was Ji Xin.
When Liu Chang saw his old acquaintance, he was in a good mood.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you safe?"
Liu Chang happily held his hand, Ji Tong replied with a smile: "I am safe for your great blessings!"
"These ministers all regard me as a good medicine for curing diseases, and they all answered this way."
"Your Majesty is wise, not only to the ministers, but to the whole world, it is a fairy medicine to bring about the death!"
"Hahaha~~You are right!!"
Liu Chang likes ministers who dare to tell the truth.
You may not be able to be an official for Chief Liu, but you must know how to flatter him. As long as you make him happy, everything will be easier.
Ji Tong obviously has certain achievements in this regard. He knew what His Majesty liked. After welcoming Liu Chang, he did not take Liu Chang back to his residence, but instead took Liu Chang to see the granary in Jinan. Qi State and Liang
The country was the granary of the Han Dynasty, and Jinan had been the granary of the country for a long time. It was very suitable for farming and had a large population. The destruction suffered in previous wars was relatively low. They never gave the enemy the chance to torment them.
Often they surrender before the enemy is ready to torment them.
Of course, the Qi people are very bloody, and Tian Heng proved this. Not all Qi people are bloody, and Tian Jian also proved this.
Liu Chang looked at the many granaries filled with grain in Dongpingling County, and his face was indeed full of joy.
There are hundreds of granaries in the north of the city, and the grain in the granaries is piled up like mountains, demonstrating the extraordinary national strength of the Han Dynasty today.
Ji Tong also kept introducing the local situation to Liu Chang.
"We were the first to set up a county school. When Xue Suhou was still here, he attached great importance to the county school here. The wise men here all sighed with His Majesty's kindness and voluntarily sent their disciples to come.
In enlightenment teaching, they also accepted many disciples and did not ask for money from them... They did this because they received the kindness of His Majesty and did it voluntarily, which is rare in the Han Dynasty."
Ji Tong turned his head, looked at the few people not far away, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Am I right?"
These people nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's exactly what the county magistrate said!"
Liu Chang was overjoyed and immediately rewarded Ji Tong's clothing and hundreds of gold medals.
But Ji Tong said: "The achievements of Jinan County are all because the people here love you. What does this have to do with me? Please reward the local people so that everyone in the world can follow them!"
Liu Chang naturally did not object and ordered the new no-nosed child in Jinan County to be promoted to the first level of title.
Now, the people of Jinan County have really begun to welcome His Majesty, and they are very happy to spread this good news everywhere.
Ji Tong also showed a satisfied smile.
After doing these things, Liu Chang finally remembered his purpose of coming to Jinan and took Yuan Ang to pay homage to Fu Gong.
Fu Sheng's home is also a wealthy family in Jinan. His mansion is quite large. Perhaps because Liu Chang was coming, not only the mansion, but also the street in front of the door were all very clean. Ji Tong and others
Accompanied by him, Liu Chang came to Fu Sheng's home.
Chang Liu did not ask his disciples to pick up Fu Sheng, but instead crashed into the inner room.
Fu Sheng sat on the bed, his whole body looked wrinkled, his eyes could no longer see anything, and he could not hear clearly, and he was not very clear, including speaking, and he wanted to understand what he said.
It was still a bit difficult, thin and terrible, and it seemed that there were only bones left in my body, looking like I had not had much time.
However, this is auspiciousness for the great man. Even when he reaches seventy, he can be regarded as auspiciousness, let alone a hundred years old, which is simply auspiciousness among auspiciousness.
Liu Chang looked at the old man in front of him curiously. This was the first time he saw such an elderly man.
Fu Sheng's face was covered with spots and his eyes were a little unopened.
"I pay homage to the king."
Ji Tong was shocked and hurriedly said, "It's Your Majesty."
"Greetings to Your Majesty... I am not very clear and not very clear..."
The old man was not afraid, but just said a lot of words with a smile, but Liu Chang couldn't hear it clearly, and Ji Tong kept translating in his ear.
"Hahaha, I came this time to prevent the Secretary of the House from being lost, and to see the auspiciousness of you, the great Han Dynasty... What are your wishes?"
Liu Chang sat aside and asked loudly.
Fu Sheng said happily: "Before Your Majesty arrives, the county magistrate asked me to ask for some benefits for the people of Jinan, but I think this is not appropriate and it is suspected of deceiving the emperor."
Ji Tong's face was dark. Why did you, old man, say so clearly when you said this?
Liu Chang laughed and said, "Ji Tong did this because of his responsibilities. As the county magistrate of Jinan, his most important job is to manage Jinan well. As long as he does not commit fraud in the local area, he will seek benefits for the people.
It's not a fault."
When the old man heard this, he immediately laughed.
"I always contacted Fu Qiusheng with letters, and the king was more wise than what he said."
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment. In the Han Dynasty, those who were not very old and had a high status were called Sheng. For example, Jia Sheng and Luan Sheng, who were not very close to each other, often added the name Jun after their surname.
Those who are old and have status are called Gong, such as Zhang Gong, Zhou Gong, etc., and this is the first time that Liu Chang heard someone call him Fu Qiu Sheng, but when he thinks about the age of the old man in front of him, Liu Chang can do it.
Let me let you go, indeed, Fu Qiubo is just a child in front of this person.
"I heard that the king is Zhang Sheng's disciple... Xunzi is no longer here, and his disciples are still so outstanding."
"If he knew these things, he would definitely raise his head and scold us again..."
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment. Hearing this, he knew his ancestors.
"Why did he scold you?"
Fu Sheng said with a smile: "He always felt that we would not teach people. He said that we were misleading our children, did not know the correct teaching methods, and only knew how to instill our own ideas into our disciples, but did not let them have their own.
Things are just copying the contents of one bamboo slip to another, and they missed a lot. If this continues, Confucianism will not be Confucianism... But we were also very angry at that time. If we teach it again, it will be decades later.
, the only one is Confucian general but not Confucian, but what about you? Is there one of your current disciples who is Confucian??”
Liu Chang liked listening to stories very much. When he heard Fu Sheng say these, he couldn't help but chuckled.
"Yes, the ancestor taught two Legalists, one from the genius, and the other from the Maosi School, which is my master. Fuqiu Gong is still a Confucian scholar, but neither of these two people are serious Confucian scholars!"
"Fugong, what kind of person is my ancestor?"
"I ask my master on weekdays, but my master always doesn't say it, but just says he has forgotten."
Fu Sheng recalled and said seriously: "He is a very impatient person. He has a irritable personality, is good at being a teacher, and has a stern tone. Even if he teaches his disciples, he will still speak in a reprimanding tone."
Ji Tong cleared his throat again.
You can't say this nonsense. After Your Majesty took office, he kept raising Xunzi's status. Can't you say something good?
Liu Chang was also confused and asked, "So, my ancestors have no advantages?"
Fu Sheng said, "He was always busy with his work. He hated the empty talk of the rest of the people. He thought that no matter how much he said, he was better to do things down to earth. He cared about the people, but at that time, after years of war, the people suffered various slaughter.
Therefore, he is always angry and angry... His knowledge is something that no one can catch up with, so no matter who he treats, he will impart his knowledge and never hide his own privateness. He hopes that everyone will
He can become a saint, so when he teaches others, he always teaches in a harsh tone, worried that they will not learn... "
Chang Liu was satisfied and nodded, "My ancestor is such a person!"
"I am going to set up a sacrifice in Handan and let all the scholars in the world come to worship Xunzi. What do you think?"
"Xunzi may not be happy if the king does this. Instead of setting up a sacrifice temple in Handan, the king should set up a few more county schools in Handan, and Xunzi may be even happier."
"Hahaha, what you said makes sense!"
Liu Chang then asked Yuan Ang to pay homage to Fu Sheng, saying that he wanted the young man to study with him. Fu Sheng proposed to take the exam first to see if this person is qualified. Then, the two of them started Yunli.
Various questions and answers in the fog. Liu Chang listened quietly to their words. He didn't know whether Yuan Ang was qualified. Anyway, the whole of Chang'an, from himself to the youngest Fan City people, should be ineligible, because Liu Chang was at all
I don't understand what these two are talking about.
Liu Chang was so surprised that why can’t these people speak human words?
The original simple truth must be said so complicated.
If Fu Sheng could hear his voice, he would definitely praise him, and he was really the Sun of Xunzi's disciple.
Because Xunzi was also very annoyed about this matter. Of course, he was not because he couldn't understand it. He just hated those who didn't do practical things, followed the classics of the ancestors all day long, kept annotating, and found dozens of explanations for one sentence. Xunzi is a
The practical school has a very flexible academic bottom line. It is said that many things about Confucius recorded in "Xunzi" cannot be verified at all. It is probably compiled by this person. As for why allusions are compiled? Of course, it is for practicality.
.
Moreover, this allusion made up is not a good allusion. Xunzi not only scolded other Confucian scholars, but even scolded Confucius. Mencius had a bad temper, but he could not do this.
, In terms of cursing people, Xunzi is probably better. I don’t know if Confucius and Meng clapped happily when they moved Xunzi out of the Confucian temple in later generations.
Yuan Ang stayed to study with Fu Sheng. As for Liu Chang, even if he was willing to study, he would not understand it. It was like counting on a person who had not graduated from elementary school to study advanced mathematics with a professor, even if he was careful, he would not be able to do it.
ah.
Liu Chang was not idle either. Accompanied by Ji Tong, he went to visit the counties in Jinan one after another. Ji Tong really understood Liu Chang's thoughts very much. Wherever he went, the people met and shouted long live, officials
Tears of gratitude filled my eyes. Someone in the crowd sang the music of the King of Tang Breaking the Formation. Every time I had meat, the singer danced, and specially arranged a hunting ground outside the city to allow Liu Chang to hunt with peace of mind here. It was simply a pleasure.
Chang'an.
At the same time, two acquaintances came to Jinan County.
Liu Chang ran towards him, holding a strong bow in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned, and looked not far away.
King Liu Xiang of Qi stood respectfully not far away, and beside him was the Prime Minister Ji Bu.
“Hahaha~~~”
Liu Chang jumped off his horse and walked up quickly.
"His Majesty!"
Liu Xiang hurriedly paid a visit, and Liu Chang smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Xiang... You haven't come to Chang'an to pay homage to me for a long time!"
"Father Zhong...I..."
"Okay, I can write a letter in the future. Your father is gone. If you don't rely on us who are Zhongfu, who else can you rely on?"
Liu Chang said a few words to him before looking at Ji Bu.
"Hahaha, Ji Sheren...I haven't seen you for a long time."
"His Majesty."
Ji Bu possessed a long bow, and Liu Chang asked with a wink, "Among those servants who followed me, you were not Chehou. Do you know why?"
"It's because of the humble ability of the minister."
"No, the main thing is to ask the Empress Dowager to seal the seal in person. It is not appropriate for me to seal it, hahaha!"
Although that's what he said, Liu Chang was still very close to him. The three of them returned to the mansion to attend a banquet together. Liu Chang asked about the matters of Qi. Now Ji Bu is responsible for the matters of Qi, Liu Xiang and others
Ji Bu was in charge of Qi State, of course, Liu Xiang was in charge of Qi State, and Ji Bu was in charge of the Great Administration.
"Jia Yi is in Zhao, Luan Bu is in Hexi, and Zhao Gong is in the court, Zhang Buyi, Chao Cuo and others, Zhao Gong and Zhang Buyi are still quarreling. They meet on the road and will not say hello.
With a word, Zhao Gong's health gradually became a little bad, and he was getting older... Chao Cuo grew up and dared to criticize Zhang Bumi..."
"You govern Qi well, and in two years, you will return to the court..."
Ji Bu doesn't care, he is better wherever he is. He is more suitable for managing the place than in the temple.
In history, although this person is famous for his integrity, he is not bad at governing the local area. He has also been praised by his fourth brother and is also a capable minister of his generation.
"When will your Majesty go back?"
Liu Chang was stunned and asked unhappily: "From what you mean, why are you driving me away?"
"It's not a good thing for Your Majesty to leave Chang'an, so it's better to go back soon."
Ji Bu said seriously: "Your Majesty has always been straightforward. Those villains who cannot understand Your Majesty are always waiting for the opportunity to murder you. If you are in Chang'an, they can only bow their bodies to pay homage to you, and dare not violate you at all.
But if you leave, they will put all the dissatisfaction in their hearts into action.”
"I heard: the rule of a gentleman is born, and the disorder is born of a villain."
"The villains in the local area are not afraid of it. They only need a few soldiers to arrest them all. In Chang'an, a single action of the villain can endanger the whole world, just as the ancients said: protect them when fighting a war
The same is true for your own key parts, governing the world."
Liu Chang stroked his beard, "What you said makes sense... I will go back early."
"However, if you have the lords here in Chang'an, what big things can happen?"
