Chapter 153: Killing Intent
Xuanyi raised his head and saw that the mansion was not closed, and the plaque was generously written with the words "Tang Wangfu", Xuanyi was restless, and looked carefully for a long time before he could see the words from the cracks, and the two words written on the door of the mansion were, Den of Thieves!
When Tingwei learned that the Tang King had his own mansion, he understood that he had come to live a big life.
Sure enough, when Xuanyi quickly caught several "criminals" from Tang Wangfu.
Xiahou Zao was extremely angry, and he shouted: "I helped clear the snow on the street, this is a righteous act!" If you don't come to reward us, you will take us away, and the reward and punishment will not be known! I'll tell my father and let him heal you!" ”
Xuanyi glanced at him, "I don't care if you sweep the snow, but you pile the snow outside the gate of Cao's mansion, so that Cao Gong can only climb over the wall to check, this is your problem." ”
"I want to see my father!"
"It's your father who asked me to come here to arrest people... Your father is clearing the snow in Cao's Mansion at the moment, and he personally pleads guilty to Cao Xiang. ”
Fan Yan asked with some displeasure: "He blocked the door of Cao's mansion, you just catch him, we are just skating, and we didn't block anyone's door, why do we have to arrest him together?" ”
"I don't care if you skate with Lu Lu, but if you sprinkle water in front of Jianchenghou's house and skate there, then I will have to arrest you... That is, the body of the Hou is strong... Otherwise, now Lu Ze will become a Jiancheng Hou..."
"Huh? Daddy fell? ”
Lu Lu's eyes widened.
Xuanyi looked at Zhang Yan again, and sighed helplessly, "Why do you want to mix with them?" You're the one who piles the snow, you're the one who skates... Come with me. ”
Zhang Yan is not like these people, he has no experience, his face is full of horror, he looks at Liu Chang, and shouts: "Uncle save me!" ”
Liu Chang waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, I'll let Luan Bu go to catch you later!" No one dares to do anything to you... Xuangong, my son is weak, my eldest sister is with the Queen Mother, if he is injured, I am afraid that this court lieutenant will have to be replaced! ”
Xuanyi stared at Liu Chang coldly, and asked everyone: "If you tell the truth, I can let you go, King Tang is also involved in these things, right?" ”
"That's not right! I did it all by myself! ”
Fan Yan was the first to shout, and after him, everyone also shouted, Zhang Yan was stunned, and hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with my uncle!" Punish me if you want to punish me! ”
Xuan Moru also shouted: "Yes, you will never betray the king!" ”
Xuanyi glared at him, "Come on, bring me this shaft back!" ”
Qunxian was half arrested, but Liu Chang did not panic, in this regard, he was already an expert, from the court lieutenant to the armor, he was very familiar with it, as usual, let Luan Bu go to help call people, let the rest of the sages go home, Liu Chang chatted with Ji Bu about the arrangements of those ink masters.
While chatting, Zhang Budo led a group of people to Tang Wangfu.
These people are the Mo and Confucian scholars who were originally in Shang Fang.
Liu Chang got up with a smile and invited the old Qin Mo to sit aside, very politely, while Chen Tao and the others just stood and shivered from the cold.
Liu Chang looked at them with disdain, "I heard that at the beginning, the Mo family's juzi took the ink scholars to give lectures, and they also wore thin clothes in winter, without shoes, and the people, they are not afraid of the cold, you are still wearing winter clothes, why can't you even bear this cold wind?" ”
Chen Tao gritted his teeth, "King, we are Chu Mo... Chu people! ”
"Oh, the widow understands what you mean, Chu Mo is the weakest, so he can't bear it..."
"I...", Chen Tao was speechless.
"Forget it, let's go into the inner room!"
Liu Chang waved his hand and led everyone into the inner room, everyone sat on both sides, and Liu Chang asked, "Chen Tao?" I heard that another batch of Chu Mo is coming, and it is also your person? ”
Chen Tao said helplessly: "The king... These people heard that we were trapped in Chang'an, so they came to our rescue... After I explained,
And they stayed. ”
"It's okay to stay, look at what you have made recently, you Chu Mo is not useless, if you can change your past, maybe in the Tang Kingdom, the Mo family can get a chance to revivenation."
Chen Tao was waiting for this sentence, and he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.
The reason why Chen Tao and the others stayed for so long was of course not because of Liu Chang's simple method of agitation, but because the Mo family was lonely, basically no nobleman could afford the Mo family, Qi Mo disappeared completely, Qin Mo became a criminal with the demise of Qin, and Chu Mo gradually died out.
Tang Wang was the only person who valued the Mo family, he rescued many Qin Mo who were imprisoned, and even sent some Qin Mo to the Tang Kingdom to give lectures, Chu Mo naturally didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
Zhang Budo got up and said, "King, two people came to Shangfang Beppu last night, claiming to be able to help the king improve farm tools. ”
"Oh? What about people? ”
After Liu Chang asked, two people got up and saluted Liu Chang, these two people were dark-skinned, not very old, and their appearance was ordinary, not like they had any talent.
"Zhao Li meets the king!"
"Zhao Ren? Can you improve farm tools? ”
The man who opened his mouth raised his head and said with a smile: "The minister is a farmer, Jing counts, and he also knows the method of improving farm tools." ”
Liu Da was shocked, of course he knew about the peasant family, this is also one of the hundred schools of thought, the vitality is extremely tenacious, this school has not declined, because he has never risen at all, he belongs to the kind of people who are not up or down, but they have always existed, and he has not been as prominent as the Mo family, but the Mo family is gone, he still exists.
"What? Farmer people! ”
At that moment, several Confucian students sitting on the right side jumped up violently and scolded: "Traitors who go against the order of the upper and lower levels!" ”
When the hundred schools of thought argued, Confucianism and the Mohists always couldn't get along, and they pinched each other when they met, but Confucianism and the peasants couldn't get along, and the relationship was extremely bad, so bad that the two sides basically fought when they met, and there was no room for relaxation.
Liu Chang didn't care, and said with a smile: "Farmer? Okay, I'm short of talent for this! If you don't go to the Tang Kingdom, why do you come directly to the widow? ”
"Uh... Zhang Xiang is a Confucian...", Zhao Li mentioned vaguely, and then said: "What's more, I have a relationship with the king." ”
"You and I are related?"
Liu Chang's face was full of confusion, and Zhao Li hurriedly said: "The minister is Hengshan Zhending Zhao... with the king..."
"Ridiculous!" , Ji Bu suddenly interrupted him and said solemnly: "The ancestor of my family is Pei County, born in Chang'an, and has never been related to Zhao Di. ”
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly leaned over and said: "It's my mistake, the main reason is that I was worried that Zhang Xiang would not accept him, so I came." ”
Unlike the Mo family, the peasant family has always been active in various places, and there are many peasant families in the vassal states, they will use the techniques of the peasant family, but they will not listen to his governing philosophy, why? Because the peasants proposed that everyone should do it themselves and have enough food and clothing, they took Shennong and others as a precedent, and wanted the monarch and ministers to stop taxing the people and let them cultivate and feed themselves.
Therefore, Confucianism thinks that they want the monarch and ministers to work in the land, and the Confucianism is retro and wants to return to the era of Yao Shun, while these people directly want to return to the primitive society, and the king and the ministers work together in the cultivated land, which is simply rude to the extreme!
So why did they survive during the Qin Dynasty and not suffer from the persecution of the First Emperor?
Because in addition to this political proposition, the peasants also have a political proposition of farming warfare, they reward the development of agricultural production, study agricultural production issues, and are quite accomplished in this regard, and this coincides with the Qin Dynasty's concept of governance, the most important thing for the Qin State is farming warfare, so they have survived to the present.
So why can they continue to live in Dahan without declining?
That's because the Great Han copied .. Ahem, I learned a lesson on the basis of the fall of the tyrannical Qin, and absorbed a small part of the concept of governance, which just happened to include farming and warfare, a coincidence, it was a complete coincidence!
Confucianism pays attention to etiquette and hierarchy, and the peasant wants to abolish the hierarchy, basically shouting that everyone is equal, everyone has to work in the field and support themselves, Confucianism pays attention to benevolent government, but the farmer says that farming is for war, war is for farming, Confucianism talks about revenge, but the farmer feels that Yao Shun is a precedent for the monarch to do nothing and persecute the people... The two sides are not in love with each other, but they can be regarded as life and death.
Therefore, almost the moment they learned the identity of the other party, the Confucian scholars were furious and almost wanted to fight them.
Liu Chang smiled and let the man sit beside him.
Ji Bu lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Are you really a person? Oh, this place is unfamiliar! I heard that the people here are fierce, and in hundreds of years, there will definitely be fierce generals here! ”
Zhao Li didn't say anything, just said: "I know a little about the law of agriculture and profit, and I have seen the new farm tools made by the king in Tang Land.... Look, King! ”
Zhao Li took out the design drawing from his arms, Liu Chang picked it up, and looked at it seriously, this design is very simple, it is improved on the basis of the plough made by Liu Chang, Liu Chang looked at it for a moment, and asked: "This is the use of plough to sow seeds?" ”
"Yes, this is what I made after I saw the king's plough..."
Zhao Li explained his thoughts, Liu Chang listened very happily, and the Confucian scholars in the distance were a little unable to sit still.
"King!"
"Don't fall for the villain's trick!"
"How can a thief who is out of order in the peasant family sit at the same table with the king?!"
The first to blow the horn of attacking the peasants was Mencius, after Mencius, the Confucians did not let go of this grievance, and constantly criticized the peasants, in history, to the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism finally won a comprehensive victory, and the peasants withdrew from the stage of history.
Liu Chang glanced at the Confucian scholars and asked, "If you are not used to the peasants, you will prove that you are more useful than the peasants, why do you still rely on the power of the widows?" At the beginning, a hundred schools of thought contended, and everyone came to prove their own school, and then sages emerged, since you hate the peasants, why don't you prove it? ”
"It is better to blame them by the standards of their own school, than to beat them in what the farmer is good at!"
"Your farmer is the same, don't think that I will help you, support you, the widow is the most fair, never partial, you have to prove yourself, in order to find a way out of the Tang Kingdom!"
"Yui!"
Zhao Li agreed quickly, and the Confucian scholars blushed, so they naturally hurriedly agreed.
Looking at the two groups of people with unkind looks, Liu Chang narrowed his eyes, competition also has advantages and disadvantages, it seems that he can't fall to either side, he must make good use of this discord within them, and let them work harder for Tang Guo!
Liu Chang looked at Chu Mo again, "You see, the people of the peasant family braved the wind and snow to come to Chang'an, just to revitalize their own school, what about you?" You guys like this, how can you revitalize the Mo family! ”
Liu Chang naturally would not let go of the design drawing, he handed Zhao Li a letter, and asked Zhao Li to take this letter to the Tang Kingdom, saying that with this letter, Zhang Xiang would not embarrass him. Liu Chang knew that in fact, even if he didn't have this letter, the master would definitely not embarrass him, because Zhang Cang didn't care about these at all, he never looked at his school of use, as long as it was easy to use.
After arranging Chu Mo and the others in their own mansions, Liu Chang took a carriage and followed Ji Bu and the others out of the mansion and headed to the palace. He originally wanted to live here directly, but his mother didn't allow it, so he could only come to the mansion during the day to stay for a while, and he still had to go back to the palace at night.
"Jibu... Why did that man say he was related to me? ”
Liu Chang suddenly asked, but Ji Bu lowered his head, "It's just nonsense." ”
"Then why are you so excited?"
"Minister... There are unspeakable hidden. ”
"I hate it when people lie to me!"
"King, when you return to the feudal kingdom, I will tell you about it."
Liu Chang glanced at Ji Bu, but did not force him again.
When Liu Chang happily returned to the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Le was excitedly talking to Lu Hou, seeing Liu Chang come in, the two immediately stopped, Liu Le glanced at Liu Chang with a smile, and was about to say something, but looking at Liu Chang's side, Liu Le asked in surprise: "What about Zhang Yan?" ”
"Huh? Didn't you go to Tingwei to get him? ”
"Tingwei ?!!"
Liu Le's eyes widened, and Liu Chang slapped his forehead violently, "Oops, the widow forgot to let Luan Bu inform you!" Send someone to pick up Zhang Yan! ”
Liu Le encountered such a situation for the first time, and hurriedly rushed out of the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Chang shook his head, "Hey, it's freezing this day, and I don't know how many sins my son has suffered...", he said, turned around, and just saw his mother gently slapping her left hand with a wooden stick.
"None of my business! It was Zhou Shengzhi who took Yan to pile up snow and skate! ”
That night, the uncle and nephew lay on the bed, and Zhang Yan said aggrievedly: "The rest of the people have been picked up, and I am alone in Tingwei shivering... And no one came..."
"Ahem, Juzi, I told my eldest sister a long time ago, she just wanted you to have a long memory, so I went late."
"Uncle, I want to go home."
"Hey, it's just a beating, husband, what about being beaten? Look at me, I've broken at least six sticks over the years, and the more I fight, the stronger I get, and in a few years, they won't be able to beat me! ”
Just as the two were chatting, Liu Le walked in, she looked around, and asked, "Grandma is not there?" ”
"Not there... I helped my brother deal with official documents... There is an urgency. ”
Liu Le sat next to Liu Chang and said with a solemn expression: "Chief, there is one thing that I have to ask you to help me." ”
"Yan, you go to the outer hall."
"Huh?" , Zhang Yan was stunned, he still got up obediently, he didn't suffer so hard, there was still no problem with getting up or something, after he left, Liu Chang couldn't wait to ask: "Sister, you say, how can you help you?!" ”
Liu Le said seriously: "Mother wants to marry Yan to King Yan. ”
"Huh?? Isn't this messing up, then when I see King Yan in the future, do I want to call him brother, or let him call my uncle? ”
Liu Le shook his head, "Yan Country is a bitter cold land, not to mention, the two of them have a relationship... Your sister-in-law and I have actually had a candidate for a long time. ”
"Huh? Got a candidate? Who is it?? ”
"You should know this person, he is Zhang Xiang's most outstanding and excellent disciple."
Liu Chang was shocked and shouted, "You want to marry me?" Inappropriate! Inappropriate! I'm her own uncle! ”
"Whew! What are you talking about, you son? ”
"You said it yourself, I am Zhang Xiang's most outstanding and excellent disciple!"
Liu Le glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I'm talking about another person, who is better than you." ”
"Better than me? Nonsense, I am better than the overlord, outwitted the marquis, Xunzi is the heir, the future saint of Huang Lao, who can be better than me? ”
Liu Le didn't want to fight about this issue anymore, she said: "This person's name is Jia Yi, he was accepted by Zhang Xiang when he was young, and now he is the same age as your fourth brother, but he is famous, he recites poetry and books, comments on major events in the world, all of them are Jingtong, his father once followed King Jing, your sister-in-law likes him very much, and wants to marry his daughter to him." ”
Liu Chang raised his head disdainfully, and said sourly: "It doesn't sound very good, what is it to be able to comment on major events in the world, I also follow Chang Anxian all day long to comment on the situation in the world, who wouldn't!" ”
"Good, good, far less than you... However, you have to help me, you must not let Zhang Yan marry into Yan Kingdom! ”
"Good! Leave this matter to me! ”
Liu Chang was ready, waiting for his mother to come back, and when it was very late, Empress Lu cautiously walked into the Jiaofang Palace, she looked a little tired, her eyes were red, when she gently walked into the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Chang got up suddenly, supported himself with both hands, and shouted: "Mother! ”
"Didn't sleep?"
"No, I have something important to discuss with my mother..."
Empress Lu entered the inner room, changed her clothes, and came to Liu Chang's place and began to eat, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Chang tried hard to recall the appearance of his housekeepers when he advised him, with a straight face, and said solemnly: "Mother, I heard that the sages of ancient times said: The same surname is not married...", he said a few words, but he felt awkward, he really couldn't make it up, he simply said directly: "If you marry Yan to Yan Kingdom, I will die in Yan Kingdom!" ”
Empress Lu narrowed her eyes, "Did you hit lightly today?" ”
"Eh, mother, you like Yan the most on weekdays, why did you marry her to Yan Kingdom so far away?"
"King Yan is a talent, isn't he worthy of Yan?"
"Not really, it's just that it depends on what the eldest sister means."
"She was born to me, I'm still alive, and it's not her turn to be in charge of these things."
Liu Chang said unhappily: "This is the biggest problem, Auntie, you always think that we are young, even if the eldest sister has become a family, and the children are about to get married, you have to take care of it, no wonder my brother is still subject to the ministers!" Does Grandma want to take care of them for the rest of their lives?! ”
"Shaft! Am I doing you harm?! ”
Empress Lu was furious and glared at Liu Chang angrily.
"We've all grown up! Can't you decide something for yourself?! ”
"I forget it, how old is the eldest sister, why does my mother even have to interfere in her child's marriage!"
The two quarreled, and Empress Lu had a cold face, "Okay, okay, you have all grown up, in the future, I won't care about you, you live by yourself!" Don't come to me if you have something! ”
Liu Chang snorted coldly, turned his head, and shouted, "I've grown up!" I'll go back to my mansion tomorrow!" Never again! Never again! ”
The attendants lowered their heads and didn't say a word, all over the world, only Liu Chang dared to quarrel with Empress Lu, this is not the first time they have quarreled, as Liu Chang gets older and older, he quarrels with Empress Lu more and more, however, it doesn't matter, anyway, they can be reconciled in the end, it has nothing to do with them.
The next day, Empress Lu was eating, but Liu Chang walked to her side with a smile.
"Mother, what are you eating?"
"Mother"
Empress Lu didn't turn her head and ignored him, Liu Chang put his arms around her neck and kissed her on the face a few times, "Mother, don't be angry"
"I've got your stuff ready, move out."
"Mother, why are you willing to let me go?"
When Liu Chang launched the coquettish Dafa and continued to be courteous, Empress Lu's face was a little better, she frowned, and scolded: "I'm all for your good!" What can you do without me? After eating a few bowls of millet, you came to talk to me?! ”
"No... I know that my mother is all for our good... Mother is the best! ”
"What about Zhang Yan?"
"You go and tell Liu Le, what should she do if she loves it! Don't ask me about anything anymore, let her make up her own mind! ”
"Don't be angry, Grandma... Come, shall I sing to you? ”
Looking at Liu Chang, who was pestering him to be courteous, Lu Hou snorted coldly.
"Shaft."
