The Young Prince Chapter Seventy-Seven
The next day, the edict of Liu Qizhi, the Son of Heaven, arrived in the Imperial Governor's Office.
The master father hurriedly ordered someone to find Zhang Tang.
When Zhang Tang heard that Liu Rong was going to recommend him yesterday, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night when he returned home. When he received the edict, of course, he was ecstatic, and since then he has changed from a small official to an official, although only an official of 400 stones.
But he also won the favor of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, and then he couldn't say that he would soar.
When he saw Liu Rong again, he was naturally grateful to Liu Rong, and Liu Rong still used the trick he had given to his master father - a bonus, and took out 200 gold to give to Zhang Tang to settle his family.
When handing over a box of gold cakes to Zhang Tang, Liu Rong's heart was dripping blood, if it weren't for the fact that his grandfather gave him gold several times back then and rewarded his father with a thousand gold this time.
At this time, he couldn't even get out the two hundred gold. How can people serve without money in their hands......
Xindao secretly said: It seems that we have to find some way to make some money..............
Zhang Tang and his son Zhang Shi'an can be said to be extremely fair and honest in Liu Yu's dynasty, and in Liu Rong's view, his people and Zhi are simply carved out of a Mozi, and they are all the only sons of heaven to follow, and they are honest and honest.
It's just that although Zhidu is a cool official, he is not a Legalist, and Zhang Tang is from a study of Shen Han............
In history, Zhang Tang was framed to death by Zhuang Qingzhai and Zhu Maichen, and Liu Yu sent someone to his house, only to learn that Zhang Tang's family had less than 500 gold, and all of it was given by Liu Yu. You must know that Zhang Tang is a person who has been the deputy prime minister and the imperial doctor.
At this time, Zhang Tang and his mother, who were only a city, relied on their income to barely survive with dozens of stones, and when they saw the yellow, orange, and orange gold cakes, how could they not be happy, and immediately knelt down and said to Liu Rongyan: "Your Highness treats your subordinates like this, and your subordinates will swear to die to repay them."
And the case of the Marquis of Biyang exploded in the ranks of Chang'an, and the marquis of Piyang, who had a dignified fiefdom of 5,000 households, dared to raise the dead privately, and hid armor and bows and crossbows. After Tang Wu led his army to surround his mansion, Na Xianping immediately drew his sword and committed suicide, while the rest of his wives and concubines were all arrested by the soldiers.
When Liu Qi, the son of heaven, heard that Tang Wuyu had committed suicide, his anger was naturally difficult to calm, so he issued an edict to exterminate his clan and confiscate his family property......
As for the affair between Xianping and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, did not mention a word.
Liu Rong naturally knew what his father meant, so he couldn't bear it first, and he wanted him to die without a place to be buried.
After Yuan Ang learned the general situation of this matter at his home, he was naturally overjoyed, and said with a smile to himself: "It seems that the old man has a good vision."
....................................................................
And in the state of Wu, which was far away in the land of Wu Chu, Liu Wei naturally also knew about the suicide of the Marquis of Piyang and was exterminated after the suicide, but he was afraid that the imperial court would know about his relationship with Xianping, and he would ask for the guilt.
This is a restless day, and he even ordered Tian Lubo, the general of Wu State, to prepare his army for war, in case the imperial court sends troops to fight, but the whole army has lasted for nearly a month, and the imperial court has not moved at all......
The recent various movements in the imperial court have made Liu Bi more and more uneasy, and he said in his heart: "It seems that the widow must prepare early."
Just when Liu Wei was uneasy, the imperial historian in Chang'an City, Chao Cuo, also received a secret report from the imperial history of Wu State, and immediately took a carriage to enter the palace to see Liu Qi, the son of heaven.
When Chao Cao rushed to the palace gate, it was already dusk, and he happened to meet Liu Rong who was returning to the palace.
Chao Cuo naturally knew that the Son of Heaven was now very fond of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong, although he reprimanded Liu Rong for the matter of King Huainan some time ago, but the fool could see that it was just to seal the tongue of some good people.
Now Liu Rong is definitely a big contender for the crown prince's position, and the people of the Legalist family are all loyal followers of the emperor and monarch, because only the emperor and monarch can make him do something.
In the pre-Qin period, Shang Ying was like this, and he was able to display his talent when he met a Qin Xiaogong who could support him from the beginning to the end, and although he finally died, he finally completed the reform of the Qin State.
Wu Qi, who was also a law changer, implemented the law change in Chu State, but it ended in failure. Why? The root of this is the death of King Chu who supported Wu Qi's expression......
The content of Wu Qi's reform is almost the same as that of Shang Ying's reform, and it is nearly 50 years earlier than Shang Ying, but unfortunately God does not bless Chu......
When the king of Chu mourned Wu Qi, he was already in his old age, but he died of illness in a few years. And Wu Qi angered the nobles of Chu because of his changes, and was shot and killed by the nobles of Chu on the mourning hall of King Chu............
In this regard, the Legalists are extremely concerned about the Son of Heaven and his prince, which is the reason why as soon as Wei Chao won the favor of Emperor Wen, he immediately went to the Taigong as Liu Qi's teacher.
Now that he saw Liu Rong also coming, of course, he also stepped forward to salute.
Of course, Liu Rong also saw Chao Cuo, and saw that he was wearing a cyan robe, and an official seal was tied with a green ribbon around his waist.
ps: In the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a system of using ribbons to show status. The Son of Heaven naturally uses a golden ribbon to show his dignity, and the princes and kings use red for it, the three princes for green, and Jiuqing for cyan, so as to divide it.
Chao Cuo stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty greets Your Highness."
Of course, Liu Rong immediately replied: "The wrong duke doesn't need to be polite, it's already late, I don't know what the wrong duke is doing in the palace at this time?" ”。
"The minister only wants to see His Majesty because of some important matters, so he wants to enter the palace."
He also said: "I heard that His Royal Highness recently recommended an official to His Majesty, named Zhang Tang?" ”。
"What the wrong public said is true, this person is well versed in Chinese law, so I recommend it to my father."
Liu Rong's words seemed to make Chao Cuo a little excited, and Zhang Tang Chaocuo naturally knew that this was one of the few people who applied for Han today. But he didn't dare to openly arrange the people of the Legalist family into the court. Seeing Liu Rong like this, he sighed in his heart: It seems that His Royal Highness is not tired of the Legalists.
It is no wonder that Chao Cuo thought so, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, only Chao Cuo was born in a Legalist, and in order to enter the court, he was dressed in a coat of Confucianism.
At that time, Chao Cuo was in Yingchuan County with Zhang Hui to learn the name of Shen Han's criminal name, and later saw that there was no way to enter the court, so he read through the Confucian classics, and later entered the Taichang Department as a small official after being recommended.
When Emperor Wen no one knew the "Book of Shang" in the world, and later heard that there was a big Confucian name in Jinan County Fu Shengtong "Book of Shang", but at this time Fu Sheng was more than 90 years old and could not go to Chang'an, Emperor Wen found a famous official in the Taichang Department to go to Jinan County to study "Book of Shang", this person is wrong. When he returned from Jinan County, Emperor Wen ordered him to talk about the "Book of Shang", so that Chao Cuo could have the opportunity to get close to the Son of Heaven and show his talent.
Chao Cuo smiled and said: "Zhang Tang is indeed a talent, I hope His Royal Highness will make good use of it."
Then Chao Cuo saluted Liu Rong again, and said: "Your Majesty still has important matters, and I will discuss it with His Highness in detail another day."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards Weiyang Palace.
Seeing Chao Cuo, who was a little excited, Liu Rong thought that Chao Cuo might be excited to see his own practitioner.
For Liu Rong, a "modern person", no matter whether it is Legalism or Confucianism, Liu Rong does not have any prejudice.
Soldiers can be used for conquest, Legalists can promote the transformation of the world, and Confucianism advocates the idea of great unification is conducive to the development of a unified dynasty.
At this time, Confucianism is still very different from the rotten Confucianism of later generations, Confucian scholars are still accustomed to the six arts, among the six arts, there is archery, and the people who are trained are all civil and military all-rounders. Otherwise, when the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu rebelled, Liu Rong's father would not use Dou Ying, a Confucian scholar, to be a general.
And after the Song and Ming dynasties, Confucianism seems to have been completely reduced to a cannon.
Therefore, why must the world be ruled by one thought, and there are so many disciplines in our Great Heavenly Empire that there is no confusion in students' minds and any changes in society.
All the sons and hundreds of schools have their own uses, why should they be made extinct?
Liu Rong said in his heart: At that time, he will definitely run a Taixue, so that all the sons and hundreds of schools can teach and educate the people.
When Liu Rong returned to the palace, Chao Cuo also entered the Qilin Hall after Wang Cheng passed the courtesy.......
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, asked, "What is the matter with Chao Qing here?" ”。
Chao Cuo saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister received a secret report sent to the imperial history of Wu today, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, has recently reorganized his troops in his country, and it seems that ..... It seems that there is going to be a change."
Hearing this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, laughed, but did not say anything, but took out the letter submitted by Liu Rong about Liu Bi's fornication trial.
"As soon as Chao Qing looked at this volume, he knew why Wu Wang and Liu Biao had changed."
Chao Cuo took the volume and opened it to read it, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this ...... Where do you know that?"
"This is what Yuan Ang handed over to Liu Rong when he reported the rebellion to Liu Rong."
When Liu Qiyan, the son of heaven, said Yuan An, Chao Cuo knew in his heart why Yuan Ang wanted to hand over to Liu Rong, and his disgust for Yuan Ang seemed to have added another point.
But on his lips, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yuan Dazai is really a national soldier!" ”。
"With this letter in hand, Your Majesty will have the righteousness of the world in hand, and if you want to cut the domain, no one will be able to stop it!"
Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and from the beginning of his succession, he began to deploy the matter of cutting the domain, and now for nearly two years, he finally has eyebrows, and he is naturally in a good mood.
said: "Chao Qing thinks that if you do the act of cutting the feudal domain today, where should you start."
"Your Majesty can cut the state of Chu and watch the actions of the state of Wu."
"Why?".
Chao replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know, recently the minister has found out that Chu Liu Wu has been intersecting with the Xiongnu since Emperor Xiaowen, which shows the sinister intentions of his intentions.
And when the Empress Dowager was mourned, the King of Chu brought several carriages when he came to Chang'an, all of which were the singers and maidservants of the Chu State. During the mourning period, the king of Chu was still having fun with these singers and slaves in his palace, which was a great crime of disrespect.
If there is any movement in the state of Wu, the imperial court can crusade against it with the righteous army, so that the southeast can be safe, and the world can also be safe."
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, got up and paced in the hall for a while, and said: "What Chao Qing plays is also indispensable, but this order must be to affect the whole body, and then let me think about it and make a decision."
"No", seeing that the Son of Heaven still failed to make up his mind, Chao Cuo had to retire first.
