Chapter 068: The Rite of Annihilation
In the past, the Son of Heaven, princes, doctors, and civilians were restricted by etiquette when they ate several meals a day. But the early Han Dynasty was different, as long as you have money, you can eat a few meals if you like, and no one cares about how many meals you eat.
The Han Dynasty picked up the ritual law again after Wenjing, and if Liu Chang was thirty years later, he would definitely be the best tool for the ministers to use to brush up their prestige. At that time, the ministers kept an eye on the princes on the grounds of etiquette, and whenever anyone did something that did not follow the etiquette, they would jump out and reprimand them to give themselves prestige.
In the late Western Han Dynasty, with the rise of the retro movement, the etiquette became more and more demanding, almost skipping the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period and jumping directly to the trend of the early Zhou Dynasty.
And at this moment, the Son of Heaven is just a nobleman with more power, and the crown prince is just a noble son with a certain status, and he can't eat enough, so what kind of etiquette is there?
Liu Ying dined with her housekeepers, Liu Ying did not bring the four old people with her on this trip, they were too old to go far away, Liu Ying only brought six younger housekeepers. And this younger one is only compared to the four elders, and their age is younger than Liu Bang, and they are definitely not young.
Liu Chang sat on Liu Ying's left hand side, gulping down the meat.
"Second brother, why did you bring so much meat?"
"It's all jerky specially prepared for you by the Queen Mother..."
"Oh, hmm..."
Seeing that Liu Chang started directly, and did not give way to his brother, he buried his head in biting, and the housekeepers sitting on Liu Ying's right were a little angry.
"Young people should know how to be polite to their brothers! Before eating, you have to ask your brother three times and get your brother's permission before you can eat! ”
A guy with a goatee blew his beard and said angrily to Liu Chang.
Liu Chang buried himself in cooking, where would he pay attention to him.
And Luan Bu, who was sitting on Liu Chang's side, slowly raised his head, "Your Excellency is proficient in the gift of brothers, don't you know the gift of monarchs and ministers?" As a minister of the crown prince, he does not know how to maintain the friendship between the lord and his brother, but has to discipline him in front of him and separate his brothers, is this what a minister can do? ”
Luan Bu said something, and the person who said it turned red, glared at the young Luan Bu, and scolded: "How can someone like you talk here? ”
"Alas... Don't argue, the eldest brother can eat if he wants, this was originally prepared for him..."
Liu Ying hurriedly persuaded him, but Liu Chang still lowered his head and ate violently, but he was hungry.
Luan Bu sneered, "I thought I was the son of Confucianism, but I didn't think about it, it turned out to be a young man!" ”
"The shaft is rude!"
The few housekeepers suddenly got up and put their hands on the scabbard, Liu Ying couldn't sit still anymore, hurriedly got up, and continued to persuade.
Just when the two sides were confronting each other, Liu Chang finally raised his head helplessly, he squinted his eyes and looked at those people with disdain, "Luan Bu, take the meat in front of them!" ”
"Eldest brother... This..."
"This is given to me by my mother, and these people are not entitled to it."
Luan Bu was also obedient, stepped forward directly, and took the food in front of them one by one, those people were completely angry, staring at Liu Chang fiercely, and one of them said: "The son is rude, how can he govern the country?" ”
"The son doesn't know how to be polite, it can be seen that the likes of Gai Gong are treacherous villains..."
Before the other party's words were finished, Liu Chang was already furious, "Luan Bu! Hack him!! ”
At that moment, Luan Bu did not hesitate, instantly pulled out the long sword, jumped a few steps, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards the man's neck, "Bang! Liu Ying hurriedly stretched out his scabbard to block Luan Bu's slash, and the sword in Luan Bu's hand pressed against the prince's scabbard and hit the man's neck hard.
The man snorted, took a few steps back, and looked at Luan Bu in horror, where did this madman come from? The prince is a man, and he will cut it when he says it??
Seeing this scene, Liu Chang was also stunned for a moment, and quickly calmed down, "Luan Bu, stop!" ”
"Yui!"
Luan Bu withdrew, Liu Ying's face was pale, if he hadn't blocked it in time, the head of this sheren would have flown out a long time ago, isn't the eldest brother a little too cruel?
"Let's go!" , Liu Chang ordered, wrapped up the jerky in front of him, turned around and was about to leave, Luan Bu snorted coldly, stared at those people fiercely, and then also picked up the jerky and followed Liu Chang, and the two left here with a swagger.
Liu Ying sighed helplessly, "Alas, why bother? ”
"Prince... Minister... The minister has no face to survive in the world..."
The prince said that he was about to draw his sword and kill himself, Liu Ying hurriedly stopped and persuaded hard, but the man just didn't listen, and when the two sides were arguing, Liu Chang, who had already walked away, turned around sharply and shouted: "Hey! That's you! Listen to me! ”
"What did my brother say! Just listen to it! Otherwise, I will arrest all of your clan tomorrow and cook them in a cauldron!" ”
Her eyes widened and she looked frightened, and she had >> in her hand

The sword was put down involuntarily, and the rest of the people smiled awkwardly, and they were much more polite to Liu Ying.
Liu Chang led Luan Bu to a group of miners who were eating, the miners hurriedly wanted to make a big salute, Liu Chang waved his hand, "It's okay, eat yours!" ”
Liu Chang simply sat beside them, regardless of whether his clothes would get dirty, and Luan Bu also sat down together.
"Come, come, eat meat together... Luan Bu, give them the jerky! ”
Luan Bu distributed the jerky that he had taken from the front of the Sheren to these people, they didn't even have time to say thanks, they grabbed the jerky and devoured it, Liu Chang didn't pay attention to them, just looked at Luan Bu, "Why did you really cut him?" ”
"Childe's order, how can you not obey?"
"I'm just scaring him, how can you really cut it, he is the prince's housekeeper, if you hack it to death, won't my mother beat me to death?"
Luan Bu said solemnly: "He insulted Childe's teacher, and you killed him, so what?" ”
Liu Chang shook his head and said: "In this way, in the future, you will look at my fingers, I said that if you stretch out one finger when you cut to death, you will scare it, if it is two, you will directly hack it to death, how about it?" ”
"Yui!"
"By the way, aren't you all Confucians? Why are you still arguing? ”
"Childe, there are also many factions in Confucianism."
"And who they are?"
"You don't have to ask... The younger brother is the crown, the resigned, the Yu line and the Shun trend, is the son of the Zhang family's cheap Confucian! ”
Luan Bu replied disdainfully, Liu Chang nodded, and asked again, "Then who are?" ”
"Uh...", Luan Bu's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"Zixia Zhiru."
That is, Liu Chang does not read enough, if Liu Ying is here, he will definitely be able to take the next sentence, "His clothes are crowned, his colors are all right, but he doesn't say anything all day long, he is the cheap Confucian of Zixia's family!" ”
Then the Confucian schools were scolded, why didn't they dare to fight back? Because the person who scolded them had a certain status in the Confucian school, called Xun Guo.
While the two were talking, the miners around them had already eaten the jerky.
Most of the people who mine here are not good people, many of them are shackled to their legs, and four or five people are tied together, all for fear that they will run away, but the group of people chosen by Liu Chang is obviously a little different, they are neither guarded by a soldier, nor are they chained.
They looked at Liu Chang cautiously, Liu Chang also looked at them, for a while, Liu Chang didn't know what to say, he decided to find a topic, and chat with these people while Zhao Huan hadn't come back yet.
"What do you do?"
Liu Chang asked with a smile.
For a while, the miner master who was sitting in front of him and placing a hoe on the side looked at Gongzi Chang with some confusion, hesitated for a long time, and then replied uncertainly: "Mining..."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Liu Chang smiled disappreciatively, "Then did you commit any crime?" ”
"We have never sinned, and we are all sons-in-law."
The man was calm, with neither shame nor hesitation in his words, and had already accepted his identity.
Liu Chang was a little confused, "What's wrong with the son-in-law?" ”
Luan Bu had no choice but to explain: "According to the law of the Han Dynasty, those who do these things, except for criminals, are sons-in-law. ”
"Why?"
"This...", Luan Bu looked at the people around him, but did not continue to explain.
"Hui Gongzi, it's because we are humble..."
Again, it was the miner who answered.
"Thank you for the meat... We may not have smelled meat in a long time... Childe better leave quickly, or he will be laughed at..."
"Heh, with those guys... What is it called? ”
"Zizhang Zhiru."
"Yes, only when you are with that gang of Zhang Zhiru will you be laughed at!"
"How many people are in your family?"
Liu Chang's eyes did not show any contempt, and he asked about the situation in these people's homes with a smile.
Everyone immediately calmed down, you said, I chatted with Liu Chang one by one, Liu Chang began to brag loudly about what he had seen and heard in Chang'an, these people stared at Gongzichang's mouth, listened very seriously, Liu Chang said: "Don't worry, soon, you don't have to suffer anymore... I will tell the second brother that anyone other than criminals should be paid or promoted to the rank of knight if they engage in such a dangerous job, and the second brother is a good person, he will not disagree! ”
Luan Bu looked at the hope burning in the eyes of these people, but he couldn't bear to refute Liu Chang.
