In the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, Liu Qi sat on the seat in the middle of the hall, looking at the door of the hall from time to time, Liu Che ran in sweating, and bowed when he entered the door: "The child greets his father, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Qi saw the dust and sweat on Liu Che's body, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Prince, in broad daylight, you don't learn the way of governing the country under the guidance of the Taifu, where did you run wildly, look at this body of dust, hey, let my father say that you are good." ”

"The father is angry, the child is going to the mountains and forests outside Chang'an to practice riding and archery in the way of hunting, learning martial arts, and it can also protect the safety of the Han, so that future foreign enemies will no longer dare to peep at the Han. ”

"Hehehe, good ambition, but the prince must know that relying on one person's martial arts to defend the Han is the courage of the horseman, if you rely on and control the power of the majority of subjects, that is a generation of heroes, I hope the prince can understand the heart of his father." ”

"Father, how can you harness the power of your subjects?" Liu Che wondered.

"That is, by learning, by continuous learning, as the lord of the Han Dynasty, different from the common people, we must know where our mission lies. ”

"Thank you for your father's teachings, the child understands, he must obey his father's arrangement, earnestly study knowledge, and learn how to govern the country. ”

"The prince should learn modestly is the right way, the father sent someone to write to you must be followed, now is the year of famine in the Han Dynasty, as the prince, you must play an exemplary role, take the lead in thrift to solve the crisis of the common people in the world, if you do not obey, according to the law. ”

"No, the child obeys. ”

"In addition, let's talk about learning, today the Queen Mother asked, the prince has taught the prince, is it possible to understand the content?"

When Liu Che heard this, he smiled and said: " The father doesn't ask, the child is about to say, what Ji Di said about the way of governing the country does not need to be deliberately learned, the key is benevolence and morality, pure heart and few desires, quiet and inaction to govern the people, this is not to teach children to do nothing, in addition, which young master Wang Zang is similar to the content of Taifu Weijuan's teaching, teaching the fundamental benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith of governing the country, the child feels that there is some truth, the comparison between the two sides is a little ridiculous, one side teaches the child to govern the country without doing anything, the other side teaches the child to learn everything, everything must take the lead in governing the country in order to govern the country well, contradict each other, so that the child is very entangled。 ”

"Oh, the prince has grown up and knows how to analyze problems, and this is indeed a problem. Liu Qi pondered for a long time and then said, "Prince, my father has an idea, three days later, invite people of insight who support Taifu Weiwan's side and support Jidi's side to come to the Xuanmur Hall to debate to see if a good strategy for governing the country can be found." ”

"My father is right, and the child will go and inform some of my teachers, and let them invite friends from all over the world to debate and solve the confusion of this time. ”

"Alright, let's go down and tell the way. ”

"The child is gone. Liu Che said and withdrew from the Xuanshu Palace, and couldn't wait to inform his teacher that he was going, and a good show was staged unconsciously.

Three days passed quickly, the Xuanshu Hall gathered the doctors of the Huang Lao School and the Confucian School around Chang'an inside and outside, all of whom thought they were knowledgeable, the Huang Lao School and the Confucian School looked at each other, and they all breathed out with their noses, Liu Qi sat in the middle, Liu Che sat on the side, His Royal Highness was headed by Wei Wan on one side, and Ji Di was headed by Ji Di on the other side, looking at the old, young, tall, short, black, and white people who were all gathered together, Liu Qiqing coughed and smiled and said:" I invited you here today because the prince has encountered some problems in his study, and I can't explain them, so I will say it today for you to discuss. ”

Wei Juan said: "Then please ask Your Majesty to tell the problem, and we will analyze it together." ”

"Well, I'm starting to talk about it, for the sake of the intuitive and convenient narrative, I'll come up with a topic, and the prince's confusion is in that topic. ”

"Your Majesty, please ask. Ji Di and the others were also interested in Liu Qi's slow and leisurely character.

"As you all know, the reason for the fall of the Shang Dynasty was because of the debauchery and immorality of the Shang Dynasty, but was the Emperor Wu just or unjust? ”

Huang Sheng of the Huang Lao School was a little idle, and shouted, "Your Majesty, let Lao Yu answer this question." ”

Liu Qi saw an old man with a white beard coming out of the queue, and when he saw that he was familiar, a staunch supporter of the Huang Lao School, he nodded and said, "Huang Aiqing, please speak." ”

"Although he is absurd and unreasonable, he is still a monarch, and although the king of martial arts is a virtuous saint, he is still a courtier, how can a courtier make an act of killing the king because of the monarch's fault? Therefore, the king of Wu is an unjust war. ”

When Huang Sheng said this, he walked out of the pile of people in the Confucian school, with a thin face, dressed as a weak scholar, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions. ”

Liu Qi followed the voice and looked at it, this person's name is Yuan Gusheng, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty, so he said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

"King Wu is by no means a murderer, he is cruel and debaucherous, and the people of the world are deeply affected and no longer support him, King Wu just conforms to the way of heaven and is the king by the mandate of heaven. This war is a just war. ”

Huang Sheng immediately retorted: "Nonsense, King Wu does not abide by the way of the monarch and the minister, and commits rebellion, how can there be justice, it is really crazy." ”

Yuan Gusheng was not to be outdone: "What I said is grounded, King Wu's war created the history of the Zhou Dynasty and Shang, and conformed to the trend of the times, if this is not justice, then Gaozu's overthrow of the rule of the Qin Dynasty is not just?"

Huang Sheng suddenly became angry when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Shameless child, what we are arguing about is the affairs of the previous dynasty, how can we use the affairs of the present dynasty as a metaphor, and we should really be sentenced to beheading." ”

Yuan Gusheng was about to come up and fight back at close range, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this, and immediately stopped: "Hehehe, two Aiqing, please take a break, discuss it later, discuss it later." ”

The matter of the debate in the Xuanshu Palace soon reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Dou, and she heard that Huang Sheng had the upper hand, and she who liked the Huang Lao school had an opinion, so she sent someone to summon Yuan Gusheng to meet her.

Yuan Gusheng received the order and came to the Longevity Hall of Changle Palace, looked at the blind Empress Dowager Dou respectfully and said, "The minister greets the Empress Dowager." ”

"It's Yuan Gusheng standing below?"

"Exactly. ”

"The old woman asked you, what do you usually read?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister reads the Book of Songs. ”

"Hehehe, have you read the book of Lao Tzu?"

"Browsed some. ”

"How do you feel about the book of Lao Tzu?"

"Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, the minister thinks that this book is just the remarks of ordinary people, and there is nothing new. ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard Yuan Gusheng's answer, her face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and she countered with a dark face: "Yes, it seems that the book of "Lao Tzu" is not as good as the Confucian "Book of Songs" that controls prisoners!"

Yuan Gusheng found that Empress Dowager Dou's tone was a little abrupt, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Empress Dowager Dou said angrily: "Come on, throw this arrogant Confucian into the wild boar pen, the old woman wants to see if the "Book of Songs" is powerful, or the wild boar is powerful." ”

Teng Teng Teng came up with a few guards, and shouted in confusion to confirm: "Queen Mother!"

"Don't hurry up and throw this Confucian into the boar pen. ”

"No. ”

Yuan Gusheng was carried up by four strong men before he understood what was going on, so he shouted: "Queen Mother, please give the minister a death, and the soldier can be killed without humiliation." ”

Without giving Yuan Gusheng too much chance to speak, he was carried into the wild boar pen by several guards, and quickly informed the emperor Liu Qi of this matter, Liu Qi was very frightened when he knew it: "How can my mother do things like this, if she is killed because of differences of opinion, who will dare to raise objections in the future." ”

After a moment of silence, he thought: "If you go to plead with the Queen Mother, you will definitely not agree, or go to the wild boar pen to see how Yuan Gusheng is doing." ”

Liu Qi quickly ordered people to prepare horses, and quickly galloped to the location of the wild boar pen, and when he came here, he saw Liu Che and most of the others shouting into the pigsty: "Yuan Gusheng run, run, don't let the wild boar catch up." ”

Liu Qi glanced at the pigsty, and saw that Yuan Gusheng had already run and was sweating profusely, jumping left and jumping to avoid the attack of the wild boar, so he walked up to Liu Che and said: "Prince, if you let Yuan Gusheng go on like this, you will die." ”

Liu Che turned his head to see that it was his father, and said in surprise: "I thought my father didn't know about this, but now that my father is here, Yuan Gusheng is saved." ”

"Oh, how can I save it?"

"Because this is the order of the Queen Mother, the ministers and others here can not be disobeyed, if it is the father of the emperor, it is another matter, the Queen Mother only talked about throwing Yuan Gusheng into this pigsty, did not talk about whether he could throw other weapons, now if the father throws the sword to Yuan Gusheng, let Yuan Gusheng kill the wild boar, he can live. ”

"Good idea. Liu Qi instantly took off his saber and shouted into the pigsty: "Yuan Gusheng takes the sword." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Yuan Gusheng instantly picked up the sword that Liu Qi threw into the pigsty, and pierced the neck of the wild boar with all his strength, the wild boar died in the exhausting struggle, and Yuan Gusheng was so tired that he sat on the ground of the pigsty, and the crowd outside the pigsty erupted into warm applause, and couldn't help but discuss: "Yuan Gusheng really shouldn't be killed, it's really fateful, I didn't expect Yuan Gusheng to have such power." ”

Liu Qi ordered someone to carry Yuan Gusheng out of the pigsty, and Yuan Gusheng did not forget to be grateful: "Thank you for your majesty's grace to send a sword to save your life." ”

"Hehehe, no need to thank me, it should be Prince Xie, this idea was told to me by the prince. ”

Liu Che immediately said embarrassedly: "Father, the child doesn't dare to be the emperor, this idea was thought up by the child's bodyguard captain Zhang Jiayang." ”

Liu Qi was surprised: "Zhang Aiqing really deserves her reputation, and I will reuse Zhang Aiqing in the future." ”

Zhang Jiayang, who was standing beside Liu Che, couldn't help blushing and said, "Your Majesty, but it is already important for the minister to protect the prince's safety." ”

Liu Che also laughed and said: "Father, can you arrange Zhang Jiayang to do other things, but the father is kind enough to transfer him to the child." ”

"No, no, hahaha. ”

Liu Qi thought that Yuan Gusheng had offended the Queen Mother, and he was afraid that the Queen Mother would still find trouble with him, so after a little thought, he ordered: "The prince is responsible for taking care of Yuan Gusheng, and after the injury is healed, he will leave Chang'an as soon as possible and go to Liu Cheng, the king of Qinghe, to serve as the prince." ”

Yuan Gusheng was grateful and said: "The minister obeys the order, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she knew that it was the emperor's idea, and she did not further pursue the matter of Yuan Gusheng, and the dispute between the Huang Lao School and Confucianism ended in a farce.
