Liu Chang really found it a bit incredible. First, Liu An improved Han Ying's ideas, and now Han Ying improved Liu An's ideas. So, shouldn't it be Liu An's turn to continue to improve tomorrow?
Liu Chang had clearly only heard of Dong Zhongshu's name in his dream, but at this moment he discovered that there were many fierce men in the Han Dynasty. No matter in his father's period, now, or in the future, the Han Dynasty did not lack all kinds of fierce men.
kind of talents.
For example, Han Ying in front of him, Liu Chang clearly had no impression of him, but after being hit on the head by the future sage Huang, he was still able to quickly adjust his mentality and not regard Liu An's teachings as a shame.
Instead, he studied hard and extended his own part based on Liu An's improvements.
He is not easily destroyed. Such setbacks will make him stronger. Liu Chang rarely appreciates others, but this time, he has some admiration for Han Ying. With such courage, he can definitely succeed.
Big deal.
Liu Chang then looked at the etiquette he had compiled. The current etiquette of the Han Dynasty came from Shusun Tong, and Han Ying had obviously studied Shusun Tong's etiquette to a certain extent. He simplified Shusun Tong's original etiquette.
, on the basis of not destroying the foundation, those branches and leaves were cut away, and the etiquette among the people took on the shadow of Huang Lao, and began to gradually become closer to the people, focusing on the interests of the people.
Liu Chang was still very satisfied. Not everyone is Shusun Tong. At Han Ying's age, it is not easy to reach this stage.
The two of them entered the Hall of Houde together. Liu Chang still held the memorial in his hand and sat on the upper seat. Han Ying sat aside, and Liu Chang looked at it with great satisfaction.
"That's right, that's right. In these fifty rites, you have covered everything, and there is nothing missing."
"I heard that King Wen of Zhou invited everyone to formulate etiquette, and his younger brother Zhou Dandan came to write a letter and formulated etiquette that only the emperor could marry others..."
Liu Chang was talking eloquently, but Lu Lu just covered his face. Hearing His Majesty tell allusions here, it was so painful that he couldn't bear to die.
Han Ying was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something and hurriedly agreed: "The etiquette of Duke Zhou is indeed what His Majesty said... The conquest of ritual and music originated from the emperor, which can be regarded as the root of etiquette..."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I want to say!!"
"Didn't he also choose 10,000 dancing girls to ride on elephants and drink wine and fight? As expected of Duke Zhou, the ostentation is really grand. Now those ministers have repeatedly advised me, saying that my ostentation is grand, my
How can the ostentation be compared to that of Duke Zhou?"
Han Ying took a breath.
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty is right. Based on the "Wan" dance, Duke Zhou established the "Elephant" dance to demonstrate martial arts and the "Zhuo" dance to demonstrate benevolence... Together they are called "Dawu". The ostentation is indeed not small.
"
"However, I don't like his etiquette very much... I remember my teacher once told me... Zhou Gong's etiquette sounded strange to me. How can there be any etiquette that requires kissing when meeting someone?
"
Lu Lu can't stand it anymore. You'd better let Zhang Xiang go...don't say that he taught you this.
Han Ying was particularly entangled at this moment. The fierce battle between his loyalty to the emperor and his cultural attributes began. Anyone who had read the book would never be able to stand what His Majesty said. Han Ying trembled for a long time, and finally
I endured it.
"Your Majesty... you are right, it is indeed inappropriate to hide from each other..."
Liu Chang was about to talk about etiquette again, but Han Ying couldn't help it, "Your Majesty... why don't I tell you about the etiquette?" "Why don't you tell me about the etiquette of this fight involving thousands of people riding elephants?
Like?"
"I...."
When Han Ying came out of Houde Hall, he was already a little numb.
He even began to question his past knowledge. He was not sure whether the knowledge he remembered was correct. He really listened to Jun and read ten years in vain...
Han Ying suddenly felt an unprecedented respect for Fuqiubo.
In the past, I had always heard that Duke Fuqiu could chat with Liu Chang and explain His Majesty's words to everyone. He never thought how difficult it would be, but today he saw that
Okay... This is indeed not an easy task. It can be seen that Duke Fuqiu's knowledge has reached an unprecedented level. Otherwise, how can we understand His Majesty's words and explain them to everyone? The Crown Prince is not a Huang Lao, Your Majesty is the only one.
He is the real Mr. Huang. He is a miscellaneous student. He memorizes everything, but none of them are correct. He performs basic operations, changes seniority from time to time, and even directly skips time.
For example, His Majesty swore that Confucius and Duke Zhou discussed etiquette... Han Ying couldn't figure out how Confucius met Duke Zhou and how the two of them could debate? Was it at Taiyi's side?
??
And this is not the most serious thing, the most serious thing is fabrication out of thin air...
Your Majesty swore to tell the story of a certain man named Yi who simplified the etiquette and was destroyed because he could not reuse it. This story is inconsistent with anything and is a complete fabrication.
Han Ying suffered a lot of mental pollution today. Sitting in the carriage, he rubbed his forehead with fear.
From now on, it’s better to go see His Majesty less often.
In the Hall of Houde, Liu Chang seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Han Ying's performance.
"This guy is not as knowledgeable as Duke Fuqiu. I have told him so many allusions, but he still doesn't know... Confucians nowadays are not willing to study allusions seriously..."
Lu Lu stood dumbfounded in front of Chang Liu, "Your Majesty... I think there may be something wrong with these allusions..." "You mean my teacher taught me wrong?"
"Forehead....."
"No matter, when the teacher comes to check the etiquette, I want to ask the truth!" "Slow down...slow down."
Liu Yao skipped forward in the palace, while the old Empress Lu just followed her on crutches. Several palace maids stood beside Empress Lu, trying to support her, but Empress Lu refused.
Flowers are in full bloom inside and outside the pavilion, which is the best season.
The silver bell-like laughter of the little princess running around filled the small world. Empress Lu was also infected by the laughter, smiling.
She was originally unwilling to go out, but this little trouble kept pestering her, asking her to take her out to play, so Empress Lu had no choice but to go out with her.
Seeing the little guy jumping around, Empress Lu felt a lot more relaxed inside, and even began to look at the flowers and plants around her.
It has been a while since she paid attention to these things. "Big Mother!!"
"Give it to you!"
The little princess picked an extremely beautiful flower from somewhere and raised her hand to hand it to Queen Lu. Queen Lu laughed and said, "At my age, why should I wear a flower..."
The little princess suddenly started mumbling, looking like she was about to cry.
Empress Lu sighed, leaned on crutches, and slowly lowered her head. The maids hurriedly helped her. The little princess stood on tiptoes and carefully inserted the flowers into the eldest mother's hair. After working for a moment, she nodded with satisfaction.
"It looks better now!"
The little princess put her hands on her hips and said seriously.
Empress Lu deliberately kept a straight face, "So, I didn't look good in the past?" "My eldest mother is the prettiest!!"
The little guy made Empress Lu laugh.
Seeing the little guy running to pick flowers again, Queen Lu couldn't help but remind her: "Don't pick too many, it won't look good..." "I'll just pick one and give it away!"
"Oh? Which grandmother should I give it to you?" "Give it to my father!!!"
Queen Lu was shocked, then laughed, "How can your father, a warrior as strong as an iron tower, be like this?" "He will definitely like it!!!"
But Queen Lu shook her head, "No, before he was fifteen years old, he often arranged flowers and dressed them up very brightly. But after having Queen An, he never did this again... You'd better give them to your mother."
Let's put it on your mother, she will definitely like it..."
"No, my mother is so cruel, she always yells at me! She is not as gentle as my father..." "You always bully your brothers, she will definitely be cruel to you..."
"But none of my brothers said anything..."
"That's because they love you... Ah, you have to remember that you only dare to be brutal and cruel to those who love you... That's not called a warrior. You have to protect those who love you and be brutal to those who want to bully you.
.There is a difference between closeness and distance, do you understand?"
"I know!!"
Empress Lu was probably a little tired, so she walked around for a while and then rested with the support of the palace maid. As for the little princess, she jumped and ran towards Houde Hall.
"Father! I picked the flowers! Come, I'll bring them to you!" "Don't move!"
When Lu Lu looked at the iron tower-like warrior in front of him with his head lowered, letting his little daughter dress him up, even messing up his hair, and putting a flower in his ear that was completely inappropriate for his age, Lu Lu could no longer
I couldn't bear it anymore.
He lowered his head and suppressed laughter.
But when Liu Yao almost made Liu Chang's hair style into two sky-cannons, Lu Lu couldn't bear it anymore. He covered his stomach and laughed.
Liu Chang smiled and his eyes were full of doting. He said nothing and let Liu Yao continue. Liu Yao looked at Lu Lu. From her uncle's laughter, she heard some ridicule.
She immediately said with a straight face, "Uncle...do you think it looks good?" "It looks good...hahaha...it's so beautiful...it looks good!"
Lu Lu laughed loudly. Even if he was beaten by His Majesty, he would admit it. It was so worth it. Seeing His Majesty, who was usually mighty and unyielding, being tortured like this, he laughed so hard that he almost shed tears.
"Okay, since uncle thinks it looks good, I'll get one for you too!" The smile on Lu Lu's face disappeared immediately.
"I won't need it..."
Liu Chang suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes."
After Zhang Cang learned that Han Ying had established etiquette, he rushed towards the palace without stopping.
In fact, in terms of etiquette, there was one person in the Han Dynasty who could stand up and beat up many Confucian scholars, and that was Zhang Cang. The etiquette and law of the Han Dynasty originated from Shusun Tong and could be shaped by Zhang Cang... Zhang Cang was very knowledgeable about etiquette and law.
He is the one doing the research
If his disciple Jia Yi came forward, he would probably have a 50-50 draw with Han Ying. If Zhang Cang came forward in person, no one would dare to say that he could definitely win. As for why Zhang Cang did not come forward in this etiquette dispute, there is also a reason.
His own reasons.
As a different kind of scholar, Zhang Cang actually does not like etiquette. His behavior can prove that he is not a person bound by etiquette and law.
Since someone is willing to take on this obligation for him and rush to formulate etiquette, why should he bother? He might as well sit back and enjoy the results. Zhang Cang originally thought that the framer of this new etiquette would be Prince Liu An.
But he didn't expect that Han Ying would take the lead.
Zhang Cang knew Han Ying, but Zhang Cang did not trust Han Ying's etiquette. Zhang Cang had heard a little about this man's ideas, and knew that he was a Confucian scholar in the style of Zhang Buyi.
Is it true that if such a person makes etiquette and laws, nothing big will happen?
Whatever His Majesty says is what he says? In the future, he may not be able to do things like ask ministers to call Your Majesty Father.
With extreme distrust of Han Ying, Zhang Cang hurried to the Houde Hall. As the leader of the Three Dukes of the Han Dynasty and your Majesty's teacher, Zhang Cang did not have to shout his name or trot in with his head lowered.
He swaggered into the Hall of Houde.
In the Houde Hall, two people were sitting.
Liu Chang and Lu Lu, at this moment, both had hairstyles that soared into the sky, with flowers in their ears. Liu Chang didn't seem to care about this, but Lu Lu's eyes were full of despair.
Zhang Cang stopped, rubbed his eyes, and looked at them again. The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Zhang Cang was silent for a long time. He hadn't gone out for a few days. Has Chang'an's dressing style changed so much? Is he too old to keep up with the times, or are these young people too crazy?
Liu Chang stood up with a smile and said, "Teacher, please sit down!"
Lu Lu stood aside and wanted to take off the thing on his head several times, but he noticed the look in His Majesty's eyes and did not dare to do it.
Zhang Cang sat aside, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Chang's hairstyle. Isn't this the new etiquette formulated by Han Ying? Oh my God, if I have to wear this hairstyle in the future, then I will
I would rather resign and return home...
"I heard fifty articles about Han Ying making rituals..."
Liu Chang woke up with a start and hurriedly took out the memorial from under the case and handed it to Zhang Cang.
Zhang Cang first looked at Guan Li... After looking at it for a long time, he made sure that he had not made any changes to his clothes or ordered his hairstyle to be changed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at other contents.
Han Ying's etiquette seemed a bit broken to Zhang Cang.
There were many contents that could be combined into one, but he chose to separate them in detail, so there were fifty chapters. Zhang Cang read them quickly, faster than anyone else, and immediately put them on the case.
"It's okay...there are three areas for improvement."
Zhang Cang expressed his own evaluation. In his opinion, this simplified etiquette is okay, not very good, just usable. For things like etiquette, it is just usable.
Liu Chang hurriedly discussed with the teacher the areas that could be improved.
"Etiquette is not empty talk, nor is it a forced requirement... First of all, there are two places that force the people to implement etiquette..."
When Zhang Cang mentioned something inappropriate, Liu Chang listened attentively.
After Zhang Cang finished speaking, Liu Chang suddenly realized something and suddenly saw the sun. He looked at Lu Lu angrily, "I just said there was a problem, but you couldn't see it at all... Just look at it, the teacher can see the problem."
Are you coming?"
Lu Lu didn't say anything. If I could tell, I would still be serving as a servant here??? Why do you want to compare a prime minister with the head of a servant?
Liu Chang said proudly: "Teacher, I have learned allusions from you for so many years, and I have achieved some achievements. Just now I was talking about those allusions with Han Ying, but he couldn't speak and hid his face and left... My knowledge has exceeded
Kill him!!!"
Zhang Cang interrupted Liu Chang in shock, "Your Majesty, you are serious! I only taught your Majesty the method of counting, and never taught allusions. This is exactly what your Majesty learned from Mr. Huang. If your Majesty has achieved anything, it must be Mr. Huang."
The teachings of the school have merit...I will never dare to take credit!!"
Zhang Cang said it very seriously. He didn't care about his own face, but the teacher's face still had to be maintained. I can be embarrassed, but my teacher cannot be embarrassed.
As for your majesty's allusions, which are said to be passed down from Xunzi, I won't be able to see the teacher after my death... I guess I'll have to hide my face and go away...
Liu Chang was stunned, "That seems right, Gai Gong also taught me a lot of allusions..."
"That's right, your Majesty's allusions are inherited from the Huang Lao family...Huang Lao has made great contributions. Your Majesty can order to commend them so that the world will know their merits..."
Lu Lu could tell that he was busy trying to distance himself from His Majesty.
Liu Chang did not continue to discuss the issue of allusions. He looked at the etiquette and asked, "Teacher, do you think these can be implemented?" "Of course it is possible. I will go and do it now."
As Zhang Cang spoke, his eyes still glanced at the flowers on their heads from time to time.
People in the Han Dynasty loved beauty, and young people often wore colorful clothes, but...at Liu Chang's age, there were very few people who dressed like this. Anyway, Zhang Cang had only seen two, and these two were the only ones in front of him.
.
Zhang Cang originally wanted to leave directly, but when they reached the door, he couldn't help but walked back. "Your Majesty...your hair..."
"Oh, my concubine did it to me. She went to pick flowers and said she wanted to make a wreath for me to put on my head..." Zhang Cang suddenly realized that this made sense.
Zhang Cang also has a daughter who is very aware of this situation, so he finally left this time.
Lu Lu's lips trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty... How about we take it off... If someone comes to pay homage again..."
"What are you afraid of... Apart from Mr. Zhang, who else can come in? If someone complains, just ask him to leave the memorial and leave alone!"
"Kechen..."
While the two were talking, someone barged in very rudely, and even the waiters didn't dare to stop him. "Chief! The Maurya King was defeated..."
Han Xin walked into the Hall of Houde, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was stunned.
His expression was similar to Zhang Cang's, both were looking at Liu Chang's hair in shock.
But he was different from Zhang Cang. He cursed displeasedly: "With your appearance, how can you still have the majesty of a king of a country? Give it to me!"
"That good-for-nothing Maurya King had a large number of troops and marched straight in... without any plan. King Baicheng found an opportunity and directly attacked his central army, making him unable to connect from end to end. There was chaos in front and behind, and all his army of one hundred thousand collapsed.
...Now Baicheng is about to enter the hinterland of the Peacock...None of these guys are reliable, it's simply outrageous...An army of 100,000 people was taken away in one wave...
This guy simply insults the word "war"!!!"
Han Xin was talking, and when he saw Liu Chang standing still, he cursed again: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you take off that ridiculous thing on your head..."
"Big Father!!!"
Liu Yao stood at the door in surprise, looked at Han Xin, and shouted: "Great!! I just picked more flowers!!!"
