Chapter 402 Heaven's line is long, not for Yao's survival, not for Jie's death
"Come, come, eldest brother, sit down!"
When Liu Ying pulled Liu Chang to sit down with a smile on her face, Liu Chang was still a little reluctant.
"Brother, I'm busy with state affairs!"
"What state affairs are there? Didn't you just come back from Shanglinyuan?"
"Brother also knows that I killed the wild boar with my bare hands??"
"Ah? Did you fight the wild boar with your bare hands? Why didn't I know?!"
"Yes, I killed him when I went to Qi State to look for Fugong."
Liu Chang proudly talked about his fight with a wild boar. Liu Ying was not happy and became angry, "As the king of the Han Dynasty, how can you put yourself in danger? Yuan Ang is not a good minister!!"
"Brother, I am born with supernatural powers, what can the wild boar do to me?"
"Shu Zi!"
Liu Ying scolded with a straight face: "Relying on your own bravery and repeatedly taking risks, you are bringing your own disaster!!!"
Liu Ying immediately changed into the mode of great principles, and began to explain the principles to Liu Chang, citing classics and teachings. Liu Chang also did not hear the second brother's verbosity for a long time, and it sounded the same again.
Kind, even couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that Zhu Zi not only did not regret his mistakes, but even dared to laugh, Liu Ying suddenly became even more angry.
"If you were ten years younger, I would have beaten you until you couldn't get up for three or four days!"
Liu Chang has grown up. Although the eldest brother is his father, Liu Ying will definitely not be able to beat his younger brother like before, so he must beat his younger brother as early as possible.
Seeing that Liu Ying was really angry, Liu Chang shook his head, "Okay, brother, I understand. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing again. You sent someone to call me here just to give me a scolding."
Well?"
Liu Ying remembered the purpose of calling him here, and her face softened slightly.
"Chief, I do come to see you for something."
"I heard that you set up a Tianlun Mansion in Chang'an specifically to study Xunzi's teachings?"
"Yeah...brother, do you want to go over and have a look?"
"I must go...but, sir, look at Xunzi's mansion. Shouldn't the Huangdi and Laozi's mansions also be set up?"
Huang-Lao School, as the name suggests, is the school of Huang Emperor and Laozi.
There are people from various schools of thought around Liu Ying, but he himself prefers Huang Lao.
"Oh, the day before yesterday the prince and those from the Huang Lao School came to see you, was this just for this matter?"
Liu Ying laughed and said, "Sir, Mr. Huang actually has many excellent ideas. Isn't it the credit of Mr. Huang that the Han Dynasty is so strong now?"
"What does this have to do with Mr. Huang! It's all my fault!"
"Okay, okay, it's your contribution, but you are also Huang Lao's disciple, you are Gai Gong's true successor... Is Zhang Cang the only one who is your teacher?"
Liu Chang explained: "This has nothing to do with my teacher. The main thing is my ancestor. He is very good to me..."
"Ah?? How many years has passed since your ancestor passed away? How did he treat you well?"
Liu Chang looked at Liu Ying with disdain, "Brother, have you never read my ancestor's books?"
"My ancestor said: The movement of heaven is due to me, Liu Chang, and the merits of Yao and Shun. They do not exist in front of my merits. Even if I do something like Jie and Zhou, I will not perish!"
Liu Ying was stunned, "When did Xunzi say..."
Liu Chang said proudly: "Heaven has a long way to go. If it is not for Yao, it will not survive, and if it is not for Jie, it will perish!"
Liu Ying was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed, suddenly turned straight, shook her head, and suddenly laughed again.
The second brother's appearance shocked Liu Chang, "Second brother? Are you okay?"
"If it's what you say...then Mr. Huang really shouldn't build a temple. After all, the Tao Te Ching begins by scolding your fourth brother. You can explain the truth, but you can't let Liu Heng say it, right?"
“Ah??Really??”
"Fart! If you don't want to build a temple, you won't. Why are you so humiliating your ancestor!!"
Liu Chang grinned, "Brother, you don't know how much trouble Wu Zui's incident has caused this time. I set up this mansion for a reason. I just want to spread the Tianlun Chapter to
Go all over the world, let it be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and suppress these alchemists and witches with all your strength... Only by changing your thinking and making talking about these things become a shameful thing can this trend end!"
"As for Mr. Huang, I have no ill intentions. I also don't like Confucianism. However, the current Mr. Huang really has no place for me to use... I have to force them, otherwise how can they change?
?The best school in the world is the school that can do things for the king, what do you think, brother?"
Hearing Liu Chang's words, Liu Ying was stunned for a moment.
"My father doesn't pay much attention to Confucianism, and Shusun has tried all kinds of things. If you look at his school of Confucianism, I can use it everywhere...Legalism is not popular, and so many talents have emerged at once.
This is the result of their hard work. Now that I am neglecting Mr. Huang, I am giving them a chance to change! They should thank me!"
"I still have to thank you?! What a strong word..."
Liu Ying cursed, but he looked at his brother in front of him again.
"You are becoming more and more like Father now."
"Bah, you are becoming more and more like my father!"
"If I were like my father, I should have kicked you down when you scolded me just now!"
The two brothers ate meat and drank wine.
Liu Ying's life after staying away from government affairs was still very unrestrained. He often accompanied the queen, and the two of them would go out to relax and take care of their children from time to time. Of course, he had more and more children, and he lived a very happy life.
Nourishing, the retirement life that started early is so interesting. Liu Ying even went out in casual clothes a few times. Unlike Liu Chang, he is not as highly recognizable as Liu Chang. He will not be recognized when he goes out to play. Every time he goes out to play, he will
He said that he was Lu Chan, the Marquis of Jin.
Therefore, Lu Chan's life at home was very difficult and he often quarreled with his wife.
Because his wife, Mrs. Wang, always hears a lot of gossip about her husband.
Lu Chan always had to argue hard, and even thought of divorcing his wife, but he did not dare to do so because his father-in-law was named Wang Ling.
Empress Lu personally arranged this marriage out of respect for Wang Ling's character.
"I also feel sorry for giving birth, but I'm not familiar with the others..."
"It's okay, second brother, you can use his name, it's his blessing!"
"Look at the ministers, they all think that he is a mediocre person addicted to women, and they are too lazy to deal with him. How safe he is, he should thank you!"
"You're right!"
Liu Ying nodded.
"Didn't you just say that I was arrogant and so on?"
"It was true just now, but now it makes sense."
"Look, who is the father?"
Liu Ying chuckled and took another sip of wine, "If I say Ruyi is the most similar to my father, the last time he came here, he came to see me. I drank too much at the time. When I saw him, I was so scared that I thought it was Ah.
My father came to scold me, and I almost knelt down in front of him..."
"Fart, at that time you had already knelt down to call me father, and you still wanted to kneel down to him. Ruyi was so frightened that he knelt down in front of you and kept kneeling down to you!"
Liu Ying laughed loudly, "You too, why didn't you stop me then?"
"I wasn't idle at that time. I even gave you a table because I was afraid you might hurt your head..."
"What a good brother I am!"
"Hahaha~~~"
The two brothers laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Liu Ying said hesitantly: "Grown... After I grew up a little, I was trapped in this palace and rarely had the opportunity to go out...
I haven’t seen my friend Hui for many years..."
"Then you go and meet."
"Zhou Chang said to me: It is not suitable for the Supreme Emperor..."
"Why are you talking to that old dog? In this big man, as long as it is not a crime, you can do whatever you want. If you want to see friends, go to Changsha. If you want to see Hui, go to Liang. In the world of big men, what do you want?
Go wherever you go, and see whatever scenery you want to see. I have several good cars, all prepared for veterans. Although they are a bit slow, they are stable and not wobbly. They are equipped with imperial doctors and so on.
I can lend it to you!"
Liu Ying's eyes lit up.
But then it dimmed again, "But mom..."
"You take care of that... Well, you have to take care of this, but it doesn't matter, I'm here, you can do what you want! There is no government affairs that requires you to be busy. This time, I will go around various places.
If you play around, you can beat the officials in various places... It's pretty good."
"Eldest brother...I really..."
Liu Ying was very happy. As the eldest son, he had never experienced the taste of freedom since he was a child.
Everyone had high hopes for him. When Ruyi was laughing and playing, Liu Bang had invited the best teacher to teach him alone. When the princes happily gathered in Tianlu Pavilion to study, he was alone.
, facing the cross-examination of teachers.
Every move is being watched, and the slightest bit of disrespectful behavior will be magnified infinitely.
Perhaps, his indulgence is largely a kind of venting that has been suppressed for too long.
It could be seen that Liu Ying was indeed very happy and couldn't help but toast her brother.
Liu Chang waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, drink less. If you drink too much and you kneel down and call me "Father", wouldn't it mean that you have demoted me for no reason?"
"Hahaha, you idiot!"
When he came out of Ganquan Palace, Liu Chang turned around several times and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the clear laughter of his second brother coming from inside.
Lu Lu looked at him worriedly.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is not in good health. How can he go through such a rush?"
"When my father was in poor health, he still ate meat and drank alcohol to enchant beautiful women. If a man is established in the world, if he can't live according to his own will, then he is not a man. It would be better to die!"
After Liu Chang finished speaking, his expression paused and he pursed his lips.
Lu Lu added: "But he is the Supreme Emperor after all. If he can change things at will...if he is thoughtful..."
"Does anyone dare to rebel within the territory of the Han Dynasty? Dare to target me? Or are you worried that the local princes and kings will rebel?"
Lu Lu was speechless immediately.
Liu Chang was silent for a moment and then said: "Since I was a child, my biggest wish is to ride a horse and gallop around the world, conquer heroes from all over the world, eat wine from all over the world, and seduce beauties from all over the world. I want to travel all over the country.
, I experience different things every day...."
"Now it seems that I can't do it... In this case, it's better to let the second brother take my place and let him see, eat and eat!"
"It can be considered as fulfilling my wish!"
Liu Ying was very happy, but the ministers were not so happy, especially Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang soon appeared in the Xuanshi Palace.
Liu Chang had already expected this. After all, his brother's mouth was so open that he couldn't hide things at all. His group of concubines all liked gossip. This was not unreasonable. Liu Ying liked it very much. Sometimes, he
Call two concubines, have some wine, and chat about other people's private affairs. You can talk with gusto all night without getting tired.
"Your Majesty!! How can you allow the Supreme Emperor to go out at will?! Do you know how serious this matter is..."
"I am ready to attack Mahan."
Liu Chang looked at him and said calmly.
This interrupted Zhou Chang's words, and Zhou Chang immediately put the emperor's matter aside, "What?! When did this happen? Why didn't I know about it?!"
"Not long ago, King Yan sent an envoy to inform me."
“Didn’t Your Majesty say that King Yan sent someone to deliver gifts??”
"Yes, he said he would give the peninsula to me..."
At this point, they were still talking about the Supreme Emperor, but the topic immediately turned to the war.
"Your Majesty! Chidao, canals, imperial tombs, and city repairs are all going on at the same time, and now you are saying that you want to attack Mahan..."
"How many troops are you prepared to send?!"
"Not much, I am going to send 500,000 troops!"
Zhou Chang immediately began to straighten his clothes and said seriously: "It seems that I have to follow Emperor Gao today, otherwise when the Han Dynasty is destroyed, I will not have the face to meet him..."
"Then how many troops should be sent?"
"I think we should send troops... No, we shouldn't send troops! The soldiers of a single county in Yan State can stop Ma Han and defeat their army. Why would your Majesty attack them?!"
Liu Chang was naturally incapable of doing this. He could at most ensure that he would send fewer troops, but he still had to send troops.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to use his greatest weapon to find the Queen Mother.
Not only Liu Chang would look for the Queen Mother, but sometimes the ministers would also look for her, but they would only look for her when they could not persuade Her Majesty.
But Zhou Chang did not expect that when Zhou Chang told this matter, the Queen Mother simply said: We must fight!
"When Ying was in power and we were at war with the Xiongnu, Weiman wrote to him. The content of the letter was not respectful enough. He actually said that he was willing to help the Han to attack the Xiongnu. He also said that helping the Han would lead to the prosperity of the Han. It was actually threatening.
It means...How can this person not be eliminated?!"
Zhou Chang was stunned.
"But, Queen Mother, Wei Man has been dead for a long time! North Korea has also been destroyed. This is Ma Han..."
"They are all remnants of Korea, there is no difference!"
As soon as the Queen Mother opened her mouth, Zhou Chang no longer had any room to refuse.
In the same month, Liu Chang led the Huangtou Army to attack Ma Han with Zhou Shengzhi as the general of the building and Fan and his wife as the deputy general. At the same time, the armies of Zhao and Dai also began to gather in Yan to prepare for fighting together. This Dai,
The offline monarchy system used by Liu Chang was also adopted. Liu Bo was too young to go to Dai State, so he was governed by the Prime Minister, who was also an old acquaintance.
It was Liu Buhai, the head of Liu Chang's bodyguard back then.
Liu Buhe was born in the Southern Army, and later served as the head of Liu Chang's bodyguard. After Liu Chang was crowned king, he went to the Tang State and served as a general in the Tang State. In the subsequent battles, he made many contributions and was named Chehou. Later, he
In the Tang Dynasty, he served as a servant, and Queen Liu Bofeng served as the prime minister in the Dai Kingdom.
Like Shen Tujia, he is a state minister who was killed by soldiers from the bottom. In fact, there are quite a lot of big men like this. As long as they have military merit, they can say anything.
.......
"Feng Chan??"
Liu Chang looked at Yuan Gusheng in front of him suspiciously.
Today, Tianlun Mansion is officially opened, and Liu Chang comes in person, which can be regarded as giving the patriarch enough face.
Just when Liu Chang was about to leave, a large group of great scholars blocked Liu Chang's path. They knelt down and begged Liu Chang to be granted Zen status.
"Your Majesty, in the past, Guan Zhong said: In ancient times, seventy-two families were granted the title of Zen Liang father in Mount Tai, but the reporters from Yiwu Institute only had two out of ten... In the past, there was no Huai family who granted the title of Mount Tai, and so on in Zen, and Huixi granted the title of Mount Tai, and Zen
So on and so forth, Shen Nong granted Mount Tai, Zen and so on, Yan Emperor granted Mount Tai, Zen and so on, Huang Emperor granted Mount Tai, Chan Ting and Ting, Zhuan Xu granted Mount Tai..."
Liu Chang listened for a long time and looked at Fuqiu Bo beside him suspiciously.
Fuqiubo immediately explained: "The matter of consecrating Mount Tai has existed since ancient times. Usually, after a king has achieved great deeds, he will go to Mount Tai to consecrate himself to let God know his merits..."
When Uncle Fuqiu said this, Liu Chang understood what he was talking about, and he didn't speak human language!
Liu Chang stroked his beard, looked at the great scholars in surprise, and asked, "Why do you want me to go?"
The Confucian scholars said: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor went to Mount Tai to pray for Zen, because he was disrespectful to God and lacked merit, it rained heavily, and the Qin Kingdom soon perished..."
"After Emperor Gao founded the foundation, he never followed the example of the ancient wise kings and went to the Zen. Now that you are ruling the world and the Han Dynasty is so prosperous, this is your majesty's merit. Your Majesty should go to Mount Tai and go to the Zen so that God will know your merits.
Protect the big man!"
"Hahaha~~~~"
Liu Chang raised his head and laughed.
But Fu Qiu Bo shook his head secretly, these people were still too anxious.
Liu Chang established Tianlun Mansion, which gave these Confucian scholars a lot of confidence. They felt that the time had finally come to surpass Huang Lao and become the most prominent scholar in the world. Because they knew that Liu Chang liked to show off his merits, and also
Due to the needs of Confucian etiquette, they just wanted to encourage Liu Chang to become a Zen monk.
They had also approached Fu Qiu Bo before, but Fu Qiu Bo severely rejected them and warned them not to do so.
At that time, they nodded and left after claiming to have been taught.
But now it seems that they didn't take Fuqiupe's words to heart at all.
Uncle Fuqiu sighed. He had been studying knowledge all his life, and was far inferior to Shusun Tong in other matters. After Shusun Tong passed away, Confucianism seemed unable to find a successor like him, and now the behavior of these people is even worse.
It is possible to ruin Shusun Tong's lifelong efforts. If there is not a great master like Shusun Tong, I am afraid that Confucianism will collapse again.
Liu Chang laughed for a long time, then looked at them and asked curiously: "This is a good suggestion."
"Then tell me, what should I be granted the title of Mount Tai?"
"Your Majesty, it's not Mount Tai... it's the gods..."
"Oh, then what do you think I should be granted as a god? How about granting Taiyi a king with a different surname?"
Just when the Confucian's face changed drastically, Liu Chang cursed angrily: "Tianlun! Tianlun! What kind of sacrifice are you trying to persuade me to do here?!"
"Come here, take them down, bring them water, and let them write heavenly essays on the water!"
"When they understand clearly what it means to have a long and lasting journey in heaven and not to survive for Yao or to perish for Jie, then let them out!!"
