Sitting in the Houde Palace, Liu Xi was looking at the recitals from all over the place, shaking his head from time to time to review, and unlike in the past, this time, he was not alone here to review the recitals, opposite him, the little guy had a bitter face, and was copying the Han law, although Manzhong just asked Hu'er to copy the law again, but this is not easy, the content of the law is too much.

Hu'er was unwilling at first, and even cried beside the queen, and wanted to go to Lu Bu to complain, but under Liu Xi's strong intervention, he still failed, although the queen loved Hu'er very much, but she couldn't disobey the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven had the heart to discipline the little guy, this is officially to cultivate the little guy as the successor of the big man, she must not interfere.

On the contrary, she was very supportive, because she knew that all the princes of the Han Dynasty had never bypassed this link, and she was also worried that her father would come to the Houde Hall to find the Son of Heaven, so she personally went to the Guozhang Mansion to teach Hu'er in person, and informed Lu Bu that Hu'er was about to become the prince.

Inside and outside the palace, most of the people were happy, except for Hu'er, who was sullen all day long, following his father's side, he had copied for three days, these three days, whether he complained to his mother, or sent someone to find Yeye, he was unsuccessful, and his father did not allow him to leave at all, he could only accompany his father every day, sit beside him, and copy this Han law.

The most terrible thing is that Liu Xi will ask him a few words from time to time to see if he is seriously copying the law, while he is copying, he has to keep the content of the law in mind, otherwise, Father will not let him go, he has rarely seen Father so serious and majestic when he is afraid of being beaten, so he can only recite it honestly.

I hated Xun Yu and Manzhong in my heart, but I didn't dare to express it in front of my father.

"Tiger... Do you hate Xun Yu and Manzhong in your heart? Liu Xi reviewed the text, and suddenly asked, Hu'er, who was copying the law, nodded, and then quickly shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Hu'er, why did Xun Linggong make such a proposal? Have you ever wondered? ”

"No, I didn't."

"Then think about it, if you don't understand, don't eat tonight." , Liu Xi said calmly, continuing to be busy with the things in his hands, Hu'er's eyes widened, and he was about to cry, Liu Xi continued: "If you dare to cry, I will starve you for three days." Hu'er held back her tears and looked at Liu Xi with teary eyes.

"Father~~~"

"It's useless to be coquettish, while copying the law, I think at the same time." , Liu Xi didn't move at all, and he didn't raise his head.

Hu'er could only copy the law pitifully, frowning and thinking about Xun Yu's behavior, copying it for a while, and then he asked, "Does he want to establish his prestige in the temple by suppressing me?" ”

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, raised his head for the first time, looked at his child, and shook his head, "What you said has some truth, but Xun Linggong is the third commander of the temple, why do you need to suppress you to gain prestige?" You're not right. ”

Hearing that his answer was wrong, Hu'er could only think about it with a sad face again, the corners of Liu Xi's mouth rose slightly, and he reviewed the music table in his hand, which was also much faster, and after about half an hour, Hu'er asked: "He is to promote the Han law, in order to make the world afraid of the law, he wants to punish me, and borrow me to establish authority for the law... Really? ”

"Oh? You're not stupid. Liu Xi asked with a smile: "Then why do you think he wants to promote the law?" ”

"He's... Because of him...", Hu'er gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, Liu Xi didn't interrupt him, put down the pen in his hand, looked at him seriously, Hu'er said: "He promoted the law to make everything in the world run according to a rule, Shijun once told me that this is to protect the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and said that if I am strong enough, the law will not be able to restrict me..."

"Yes, to protect the foundation of the Great Han, then let me ask you, who is the Lord of the Great Han after me?"

"It's me..."

"Then why did he punish you?"

"He punished me to protect me...", Hu'er said a little sluggishly, Liu Xi nodded, "Finally enlightened." Hu'er looked at the Son of Heaven blankly, "But this...."

"What? Unexpectedly? ”

"Can you tell from the words of others who are good to you and who is bad to you? I will teach you the first lesson today, never believe anything, all the words in the world are false, you have to look at the behavior, a person does like a loyal minister, he is a loyal minister, all day long put loyalty and etiquette on his lips, but it is likely that he is the most ignorant of etiquette and shame..."

"All the words are false?" , The young tiger couldn't understand the meaning of the Son of Heaven at all, and looked at him in confusion.

"As the Son of Heaven, pay more attention to the deeds of the people in the world, rather than their words."

"So, you might be able to understand?"

"I see... Father.. Shall I be able to eat at night? ”

Among these generations of princes, Hu'er is probably the youngest to start learning with the Son of Heaven, Emperor Xiaokang became a famous teacher at the age of eleven, and Emperor Xiaoxian only learned these ways of kings with Xiaokang at the age of fifteen, as for Liu Xi, it was almost the same age as Xiaoxian, before he began to contact the so-called way of kings, and Hu'er is only eight years old this year.

If Liu Xi was ten years younger, maybe he wouldn't be so anxious to teach Hu'er, but he got a child late, especially compared to the two previous emperors, most of them were already in their teens... Ahem, Liu Xi has no choice, and he can only teach Hu'er in advance, Hu'er has no brothers, and Liu Xi is busy with government affairs, and he has been following Lu Bu for a long time.

This has caused him to be arrogant and irritable, what Liu Xi has to do is to carve this stubborn stone as soon as possible, at least let him not destroy the foundation left by his father and ancestors for several generations.

Of course, this kind of temperament is not bad, not afraid of the irascible and arrogant Son of Heaven, but afraid of the cowardly and timid Son of Heaven, according to the character of Hu'er, I am afraid that I will not be bullied by the courtiers in the future.

Cui Yan once played and wanted Hu'er to go to the official's mansion, Liu Xi felt that his proposal was very good, but first of all, he had to keep him by his side and polish his temperament before he could send him to the official's mansion, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to learn anything.

In the process of teaching Hu'er, Liu Xi picked up the Book of Heaven several times, but he still had no choice but to put it down, now Hu'er is too small, Liu Xi is not sure, this little guy will not leak the content of the Book of Heaven, even if it is Lu Bu and Cui Yan, if the Book of Heaven is leaked, Liu Xi really doesn't know what the consequences will be, or he has to let Hu'er grow up a little more before he can show it to him.

In the following days, Hu'er stayed by Liu Xi's side all day long, and occasionally went to Taixue to learn from Cui Yan, Cui Yan was the most able to feel Hu'er's changes, the big smug prince, recently, he began to think about the things around him, and there began to be countless confusions in his mind, from the initial complaints, to now, he is like a little adult, sitting next to Cui Yan with peace of mind, listening carefully to his teaching.

Lu Bu occasionally comes to Taixue to see his grandson, but in front of Lu Bu, Hu'er is still the same as always, being a happy naughty boy, and only in front of Lu Bu can he do this, learning some big truths with Liu Xi all day long, and he will also inform Cui Yan of the questions in his heart, and want to get answers from Shijun.

For Hu'er's doubts, Cui Yan knows it well, as a teacher, he can only tell his disciples about those things that he doesn't disdain, these days in the Hall of Virtue, the impact on Hu'er is very huge, the whole world, as if it is different from what he knew before, according to Father's words, everyone around him seems to be wearing masks, all of them are unreal.

It seems that everyone will come to deceive himself, and all he can rely on is himself.

The fifteenth year of Yankang, autumn

This year, it is a carefree year, all over the country, there is rarely no disaster, you know, from the beginning of Jianning, all over the Han Dynasty, is the disaster continuously, large and small disasters emerge in endlessly, finally, this endless disaster, it seems that it has also come to the end, tends to subside, all over the country is a bumper harvest, and even some places will be the abundant wheat grains in the temple.

Liu Xi is very happy, and there are many ministers, thinking that this is the effect of the law, saying that the Son of Heaven made the law and moved the heavens, so there is a year's abundance, and there is a proposal to sacrifice to the heavens, thank the heavens, this is undoubtedly angered by a certain minister who is compiling the household registration, this Zhong Changjun, who does not want to disclose his name, fought with these ministers in the temple at that time, and was taken away by the full favor.

In the name of the law, the ministers also had fierce negotiations, and the Son of Heaven did not participate, and in the end, the law was called Yankang Law, and as for the land law, it was also called Yankang Land Order, which was the result of free negotiation among the ministers, and the Son of Heaven did not interfere at all, and the Yankang Law was officially implemented throughout the country, and there were strict regulations in all fields.

The common people were the first to realize the subtlety of the law, and under the premise that the cultivated land could not be sold, the people who were robbed of land by the powerful in many places went directly to the county government and were imprisoned.

And the rest of the field also presents a prosperous scene, under the premise of formal regulations, the development of everything is also on the right track, no one is in trouble for no reason, everything has the law as a reference, which is indeed a great thing.

At the same time, there is another big event, the Son of Heaven will make a prince.

Prince Qu, in August of the fifteenth year of Yankang, officially became the crown prince of the Han Dynasty.

Hu'er has his own name, called Qu, Liu Qu, Hu'er doesn't like his name very much, it's so cumbersome to write, why can't he marry a simpler one? This name was taken down by the Son of Heaven himself, and the word Qu represents the road that extends in all directions, perhaps the Son of Heaven also hopes that Hu'er can bring the Han to a better road.

The young Liu Qu was wearing a crown, which was particularly majestic, but he still frowned, supported his face with his left hand, and sat in the Taixue study, falling into deep thought.

"His Royal Highness the Prince? How? What is on Your Highness's mind? Cui Yan, who was lecturing, suddenly asked.

Liu Qu slowly raised his head, looking tired.

"When the prince is so tired... Tianzi, will you be more tired? ”
