Dongfang Shuo twice dissuaded Liu Che not to build a large number of civil engineering on the forest garden, and carefully wrote a good exhortation, Liu Che saw that Dongfang Shuo's performance was sincere, for the country and the people, but his own selfish desires could not be contained, in order to chill Dongfang Shuo's heart, immediately worship him as a doctor in Taizhong, Dongfang Shuo saw that Liu Che built the forest garden with a resolute goal, only reluctantly gave up his own advice.

In the blink of an eye, in October, this was set as the first year in the early Western Han Dynasty, this is a major festival, the kings of the feudal kingdom came to congratulate, Liu Che was very excited to Zhang Jiayang and said: "At the beginning of the new year, the kings come to the dynasty, the society is very fortunate, the people are very lucky, today the banquet I want to drink with the ministers." ”

"Your Majesty is right, the Han Dynasty has been founded for more than 60 years, and it is the blessing of the people of the world to have today's harmony and peace, and Your Majesty should be happy. Jia Yang also lost no time in praising it.

At the beginning of the banquet, the princes and ministers sat down in turn, and Liu Che said excitedly: "At the beginning of the year, the country is healthy, the people are rich and peaceful, I invite the secretaries to the banquet, and express their gratitude for the hard work of the secretaries in the past year, and the secretaries drink it bitterly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Everyone drank it all, and the hall instantly quieted down, Liu Che listened carefully, and there seemed to be a sound of sobbing under the banquet, so he wondered: "On the occasion of today's happy event, who is sobbing?"

As soon as Liu Che asked like this, a person walked out of the banquet, fell to the ground and cried: "The minister King Zhongshan greets Your Majesty." ”

Liu Che saw at a glance that this was his elder brother, Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, so he wondered: "It turned out to be Brother Wang, on a big day, why is Brother Wang sobbing, isn't it happy all these years?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, entrusting Your Majesty to Long's grace, benefiting from the support of all the people, it is really impeccable, but the ministers and ministers saw that our prince was a little picky, just heard the music of the palace, and suddenly thought of all kinds of grievances of our prince, sorrow came from the heart, and did not hold back, so they sobbed, lost the prince's duty, disturbed the majesty of His Majesty's prestige, and asked His Majesty to deal with the sins of the ministers. ”

"Oh, Brother Wang, don't worry, tell me about the grievances in your heart and see if I have a solution. ”

"I heard that the sorrowful cannot hear the sound of sobbing, and the sorrowful cannot hear the sound of sighing. Gao gradually left the bridge to send Jing Ke to Yishui, Jing Ke remembered this scene and couldn't eat; Yongmen played the strings, Meng Weijun would be sullen, and the minister was also in this situation, the sadness squeezed in his heart was too much, and he couldn't help crying when he heard the music, as the saying goes, everyone can move the mountain by blowing together, and the sound of the mosquitoes gathered together will be like thunder, everyone can catch the tiger with cooperation, and ten men can bend the iron vertebrae, like King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in the Jin, and Confucius was surrounded in Chen, Cai, are all caused by rumors, the minister is far away from the capital, there are no friends, there is no way to justify his name when he encounters something, the word can kill people, the bat may encounter a net after being frightened, the minister thinks of these and sobs, the minister heard that the sun shines during the day, and the dark places can shine; the bright moon shines at night, and mosquitoes can also be seen. But the clouds were thick, and the day was dark, and the dust was scattered, and Mount Tai was not seen in the darkness. Because there is something to cover, when the minister can't hear anything, the slander has already swarmed up, the minister is very sad, although the minister is slight, but fortunately to get the emperor's close and important use; although the status is low, but can be used as a vassal of the East, from the kinship, or the emperor's brother. Now there is no blood relationship between the courtiers and the emperor, and they do not bear any important responsibilities of the country, but they form a party of friends to make partialistic discussions, collude with each other, so that the clan and the royal family are hit and ostracized, and the flesh and blood family love melts like ice and snow, and the ministers are very sad about this in private. That's why Birch was displaced, and Bigan was separated. The Book of Songs says, 'My heart is sorrowful, like a mallet pounding my heart, I lie down in my clothes and sigh, sorrow makes me old, and my heart is bitter and inexhaustible, like a headache and a high fever.' The eyes of the people who said what King Zhongshan said widened, and they all looked at Liu Che silently.

Liu Che immediately knew what King Zhongshan meant, since the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the ministers have formed a habit of strict prevention, and the princes and kings below have any trivial things, they have written and reported them, which has caused the extreme panic in the hearts of the King of Zhongshan and others, and I don't know when he will be charged with rebellion and his life will be lost, Liu Che thought for a moment and said: "Brother Wang said that I understand, I will immediately issue an edict, and I will give generous gifts to the princes and kings in the future, and the princes' domestic affairs can not be reported again." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my Emperor Shengming. The princes and kings in the banquet knelt down excitedly to thank him, and they all expressed their admiration for the outspokenness of the king of Zhongshan.

When everyone dispersed, I saw Dongfang Shuo silently putting the remaining meat on the table into his arms and walking out of the hall in small steps.

At this time, Guo Sheren next to Liu Che began to make a small report, and whispered to Liu Che: "Did Your Majesty see it, Dongfang Shuo put the meat on the table in his arms and took it away, don't hide it from Your Majesty, at a banquet in the summer, Your Majesty has not yet arrived, he can't wait to cut a piece of meat with a knife and leave, no one can stop him." ”

"Oh, there's also this matter, it's too rude, hurry up and call Dongfang Shuo back to me, I want to ask what happened. ”

"No. ”

After a while, Dongfang Shuo returned to the main hall in small steps, and when he came to Liu Che, he just smiled, did not bend down to salute, Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "Dongfang Shuo, take out the things in your arms." ”

Dongfang Shuo reluctantly took out the meat from his arms piece by piece.

Liu Che then asked: "Someone reported that when Qing gave me meat in the summer, he didn't wait for my edict, so he cut the meat and left, so let's explain." ”

Dongfang Shuo bowed deeply to Liu Che and said: "Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo! Why are you so rude when you are given an edict? Why are you so reckless when you draw your sword to cut your flesh? Why are you so reckless when you just want to cut a piece? Why are you so frugal when you go home to offer your wife and children?"

After listening to Dongfang Shuo's words, Liu Che laughed and said: "Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo, I am asking you to criticize yourself, but you are good, praise yourself, in view of you taking care of your wife and children like this, I will give you another stone of wine and a hundred catties of meat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Dongfang Shuo kowtowed and thanked him.

Liu Che looked at Dongfang Shuo's funny appearance, and also danced with a grimace and said, "Go, go, go with your wife and children." ”

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's back as he left with his meat, an inexplicable warmth arose.

Liu Che turned to Zhang Jiayang and said, "Zhang Aiqing, tomorrow morning, pull the Jianzhang Erlang trained by you and Wei Qing to the training ground, I want to see how the training is going, and give me a performance." ”

"No, I'll go and inform Wei Qing to prepare, Your Majesty will wait and see tomorrow. Zhang Jiayang said and strode away.
