Chapter 138: Suppressing Ten Thousand Demons
Zhang Cang became the enemy of the ministers in a short period of time, and in Chang'an, it can be regarded as infamous and notorious. This kind of change was very fast, Liu Chang didn't even react, Zhang Cang's reputation had become extremely bad, and even several of the sages in Chang'an had heard of his notoriety.
"I heard that Zhang Xiang seized the people's daughters."
Zhou Shengzhi said excitedly: "My father and mother said so, but they drove me out after hearing half of it, and I didn't hear anything else." ”
"I heard that Zhang Xiang ordered his subordinates to fight and kill as a play."
Fan Yan said: "This is what my father said, I heard that someone in the court impeached Zhang Xiang, and there was this charge, but my father didn't believe it. ”
"I heard that Zhang Xiang eats children!"
Xiao Yan said seriously: "I came back late last night, and my father said that Zhang Xiang likes to catch children who don't return at night to cook and eat......"
Liu Chang glanced at Xiao Yan, he finally knew the power of public opinion, everyone was golden, as Xunzi's personal heir, Zhang Cang's great fame could be easily smeared like this by these people.
A few little guys around him couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiao Yan's words.
"How is this possible", Chen Mai chuckled and shook his head, looking at Xiahou Zao on the side, Xiahou Zao nodded, and also seemed to smirk: "That's right, Xiao Yan is a stupid thing, Zhang Xiangming is in the Tang Kingdom, he must be catching the children of the Tang Kingdom to eat, what do you say he is afraid of!" ”
The smile on Chen Mai's face suddenly froze, and he looked at the pair of Guan Zhong Leyi beside him, and he really didn't know what to say. Because he had read so many books, he always felt that he was out of place with these people.
Liu Chang said seriously: "Brothers, this is a very important thing. ”
"Someone insults my teacher, how can I just look at it like that?"
Liu Chang pulled up the banner, in fact, what he was really worried about was not the reputation of his master, his teacher had no reputation, he was worried about Tang Guo. Now Zhang Cang is gathering talents from all over the country in the Tang Kingdom, setting up a school palace, and wants to cultivate enough talents for the Tang Kingdom.
At this time, if Zhang Cang's reputation is ruined, it will inevitably affect the development of the Tang Kingdom.
He wasn't worried that the ministers would remove Zhang Cang, if they really insisted on doing this, then don't blame Liu Chang for "flipping the table", it's a big deal to stick an arrow in the throat and directly raise the battle to a higher level, to see if they dare to continue fighting.
Seeing that Liu Chang was so serious, Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly reminded: "The king can ask the sages and the sages!" ”
Liu Chang looked at everyone, "What are your plans?" ”
"King, we can muddy the waters of Chang'an, so that the ministers can no longer pay attention to the Tang Kingdom!"
"Oh? How do you muddy it? ”
"We can go and attack the Hou Mansion." , Zhou Shengzhi said seriously.
Lu Lu was furious and scolded: "My father recruited you to provoke you? Why don't you attack the Marquis Mansion? ”
Zhou Shengyi's face was disdainful, "Okay, if you have that ability, you can come to attack the Mansion of the Marquis of Jianghou at any time, and there are soldiers from the Northern Army stationed on weekdays as long as you can beat it."
Liu Chang couldn't stand it anymore, "Shengzhi, last time I asked you how to keep the Hou, you said to attack the Hou Mansion, before I asked how to worship Xiao Xiang as a teacher, you also said that you have to understand that attacking the Hou Mansion cannot solve all the problems."
Xiahou Zao patted his chest, "King, don't worry! If you really can't do it, go and attack the Marquis of Ruyin's mansion! My father is not at home! ”
Liu Chang looked at Chen Mai helplessly, and no longer paid attention to these sages.
Chen Mai pondered for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, who did you say had the most quarrels in Chang'an?" ”
Liu Chang was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment, "Of course it's the Confucian gang?" What do you mean? ”
"Heh, the king, Zhang Xiangnai is Xunzi's personal inheritance, why doesn't the king go to find his uncle and grandson? Turn the attack on Zhang Xiang into a conspiracy against the entire Confucianism, let Confucianism fight for you, don't dare to say anything else, but if it is a debate and scolding war, Confucianism's mouth"
"Hahaha! All right! Good! You are Chen Mai, you are as smart as your father! In the future, I will definitely kidnap you and go to the Tang Kingdom! ”
Liu Chang happily patted Chen Mai's shoulder, Chen Mai shook his head and said: "You don't need to be tied up by the king, if you are a few years older, I will go to the Tang Kingdom as an official."
"What kind of official, in the future, I will make you the Marquis of Qu and let you be the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty! Seal your father's fief to you! ”
"My lord, my king, what about me?"
Fan Yan hurriedly asked.
"You will be the general of the Tang Kingdom."
"What about me?"
"Captain."
"You are a servant, you are a captain, hey, don't ask more, the three princes and nine secretaries, there are many official positions, enough for you!"
Among the sages around Liu Chang, Zhou Shengzhi and the two brothers of the Lu family couldn't get along, and they fought as soon as they met, The two brothers of the Fan family were Tie Hanhan, who dared to fight and never retreated, Lu Tai and Lu Shizhi were also their cousins and uncles, but they were the hardest at the beginning, Zhou Yafu was a ruthless person, and he was the one who set fire to the Jiancheng Hou Mansion at the beginning. Zhou Jian and Guan A are the youngest, and the two often get together.
Xiao Yan and Xiahou Zao are a natural pair of Guan Zhong Leyi, needless to say.
Lu Tazhi is taciturn, but proficient in riding and archery, second only to Liu Chang in terms of force value, Chen Mai is good at reading, has a strategy, and is the only reliable among the sages.
Although Liu Chang plays with these people on weekdays, he still has to rely on his three major people to really do things. Luan Bu is serious, that is, some are too upright, Zhaogong is steady and calm, but some are too steady, Zhang Budo is vigorous and resolute, and the main thing is that he can only manage one county, and no matter how much territory there is, he should rebel.
When Liu Chang led the sages and the housekeepers to visit Shusun Tong with a few chickens, Shusun Tong was also a little confused.
"Originally, I wanted to bring a few sheep to visit the middle father, but after the sheep are eaten, I can only bring a few chickens, please don't dislike the middle father."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Shusun Tong hurriedly asked his disciples to take the gifts, and arranged for these people to sit down.
The two sides sat down on the left and right, and there was a group of disciples sitting behind Shusun Tong, these were all Confucian students who followed him to learn etiquette, and the Confucian students had a very bad impression of Liu Chang, they all looked at him proudly, and they didn't know what kind of etiquette they had learned.
This attitude of the Confucian scholars directly angered Zhang Budo behind Liu Chang, his hand was already on the scabbard, Luan Bu held his hand tightly, not letting him move, Zhang Budo's eyes widened, and he glared angrily at the Confucian students.
Just when the atmosphere gradually became stiff, Liu Chang suddenly lowered his head and wiped his tears.
The sages around him also bowed their heads and cried.
Uncle Sun Tong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your lord, my family is poor, and all the rewards I get are used to help those disciples who are studious but poor, and I only have such a mansion, and there are two pigs in the backyard Tang Guo If you need it, you can take the pigs away."
Shusun Tong didn't tell a lie, the two major scholars of the Warring States Period, the Mo family and Confucianism, are not mixed well at the moment, the Mo family is almost destroyed, Confucianism is also on the verge of extinction several times, Shusun Tong is the mainstay of Confucianism, he tightly dragged Confucianism to decline, and strive to let Confucianism have a place in the temple, so that Confucianism will not be completely abandoned by the rulers.
Therefore, he spent his family property to fund Confucian students, recruit disciples, and teach without class, which can be regarded as leaving a vitality for Confucianism.
Liu Chang shook his head and said: "The widow is not crying for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the widow just thinks that there is no chance to support the queen mother in the future, and can only be for the unfilial person, so he cried!" ”
"What do you mean, my lord?"
"Someone insults my teacher, insults me Confucianism, I am Xunzi again, even if I am stubborn, I also know righteousness, if the master school is insulted, but I am indifferent, then what face do I have to live? I am going to lead people to kill all the ministers who insulted my master, and then kill myself to apologize. ”
Uncle Sun Tong suddenly realized, oh, you want to fool me to save your master.
He immediately put on an eager face, "The king can't! How could a king, as the king of a country, do such a thing? ”
Liu Chang interrupted him, stood up, and said angrily: "Now that Huang Lao is in charge, all schools look down on me Confucianism, my master is based on benevolence in the Tang Kingdom, and uses Confucianism to govern the country, within two years, the Tang Kingdom is governed, and the ministers of those other schools just can't look down on my Confucianism, and when they see the effectiveness of my Confucianism in governing the country, they are jealous in their hearts, for fear that their position will be taken away, so they slander my teacher!" I can't stand it! ”
