When Liu Chang returned to the house, he found that his aunt had returned.

"Auntie, are you back?" Liu Chang was outside his aunt's room, and found that his aunt's door was open, and knew that his aunt was back, so he asked outside the door.

"Come in." My aunt opened the door and let Liu Chang into the house.

Seeing that his aunt's expression was good, Liu Chang found a place to sit down:

"How's the family, okay?"

"What else can I do, although I say that I will return to my family, but now I am alone, and it is not so easy to return home. There is no one, there is no home. However, seeing that Xi'er can be safe, I am also relieved. Perhaps, twenty or thirty years later, the Cao family will still be prosperous. ”

"So do you have any plans? Want to stay? Liu Chang asked.

"What can I do if I stay? Although Xi'er has a fortune, but his little fortune is not enough to support himself, with me, we must starve to death" Liu Ling smiled helplessly.

"Money is not an issue," Mr. Liu said

"No" Liu Ling also looked at Liu Chang and said: "If we fund it now, it will wear out his character, but it will affect his fighting spirit, and in that case, the Cao family will really have no hope of revival." ”

"And look like that?"

"Just look at it like this, he is a descendant of the Cao family, and it is his responsibility to revive the Cao family, and the Cao family will not be reborn without suffering. I'm homeless now, and you're going to have to give me my old age. Liu Ling's mood has also improved, and hope is better than no hope.

A witch catastrophe that has affected three generations. It is said that it is a strong man and a strong man, but is the big man really strong? A war against the Xiongnu emptied the entire country, withered away all industries, and reduced the population from 56 million to less than 20 million.

A witch incident almost exhausted the economic, political, and military elites of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Xiang is the husband of the eldest princess, who was the hero who accompanied Huo Qu's illness to seal the wolf Juxu, and finally almost wiped out the race, leaving only Cao Xi alone; The general, the hero Wei Qing who resisted the Huns, was exterminated, and the genius general Huo Quai, who swept the Hun royal court across the desert, was exterminated. What the Huns wanted to do but did not do, Emperor Xiaowu did it for Shan Yu, and now the soldiers of the Han Dynasty have no past majesty in the desert, and they are being chased around by the Huns like dogs, and Li Guangli, the commander of the second division, even surrendered the whole army. Shouldn't he be nailed to the pillar of shame in history? Emperor Xiaowu's credit is two: one is that he died in time. The other is the "Luntai Edict".

Liu Chang was also a little embarrassed, but what his aunt said was right. Now that there is hope, let the flame of hope burn slowly.

"How's your doing? Is everything done? Compared with the Cao family, Liu Ling is more concerned about Liu Chang's affairs.

"It's all right, let's end it with this country, a place full of sadness."

"How do those disciples solve it? What are your thoughts? ”

"Let's find it slowly, it's better to have less than to overuse. Not only limited to the Han Dynasty, but also the surrounding area, including the Huns. ”

"The Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty have a feud, will it cause trouble?"

"No, it is the interests of the upper levels who have a feud, and the civilians below have no vengeance. Of course, we must also guard against racial independence, and religious independence; However, there shall be no racial discrimination, religious discrimination, still less racial hostility and religious hostility.

If people are found to be hostile to race or religion, they will be expelled or exterminated immediately, and no mercy will be spared.

We must not carry this instability on our journey. Add this article to the clause so that it will not be punished for not being taught. ”

Liu Chang's eyes were sharp and firm, especially the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, the two countries had been at war for decades, and ethnic hatred was inevitable.

National hostility and hostility to faith are the root of all evils and are the potential factors for all unpredictable disasters, especially those who put national interests and religious interests above personal interests must not be put into our collective, and they are more destructive than constructive.

"Is it wrong for the people of the Han Dynasty to love the Han?" Liu Ling felt that Liu Chang was unreasonable, since ancient times, patriotism has been a noble feeling, why is it heinous here.

"That's right," Liu Chang replied affirmatively.

"Is it wrong for the Huns to destroy my homeland, kill my father and brother, and adulterate my wife and daughter? Is it wrong that the people of the Han Dynasty hated the Huns?"

"That's right," Liu Chang replied affirmatively.

"Then why did you expel and exterminate them?"

"Let me turn upside down and ask you, is it wrong that the Huns love the Huns?" Liu Chang asked.

"Nope"

"The people of the Han Dynasty did not destroy the homes of the Huns, kill the fathers and brothers of the Huns, and lewd the wives and daughters of the Huns. Without killing and plundering, where did the military exploits of those generals of the Han Dynasty come from? There was no killing and plundering, why did General Huo run thousands of miles to attack the Xiongnu royal court and seal the wolf? Is there anything wrong with hating? ”

"Nope"

"Is it wrong that the Huns hated the Han Dynasty?"

"It doesn't seem to be any"

"If both sides are right, why have they fought for decades?"

"This? The Huns plundered our borders and plundered our Han population, and they were the ones who provoked the incident first. ”

"The First Emperor requisitioned 400,000 people just to repair his own mausoleum, are these people all voluntary? The construction of the Great Wall has conscripted millions of people, and those people are also voluntary?

The cheapness and responsibility of the horseman. It is the responsibility of the emperor to defend the country, not the punish, because in that country, the role of the untouchables is to pay taxes and servitude.

In the eyes of the First Emperor and the Xiongnu Shan Yu, they were all untouchables. It is not their glory to pay taxes and labor to the first emperor, but it is their shame to pay taxes and labor to the Xiongnu.

The country rises and falls, and the husband is not guilty. The world is the world of the people of the world, and the country is not the country of everyone in the country, it is the country of the emperor, the country of the meat eaters. What I can't tolerate is that a pariah's body grows a carnivore's heart! Even if the emperor joins our sect, he has to take off the heart of wealth and wealth.

Maybe a person's ability is big or small, and the treatment may be different, whether he is from the Han Dynasty, the Huns, or the Western Regions, but the dignity of human beings is the same! Liu Chang stood up, waved his hand excitedly, and continued: "Now, we have stood in a higher position and jumped out of the category of the country, so we must look at the things we were all accustomed to in the past with a farther vision, if the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are a country, do you still allow hatred, the first emperor killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State, do you still allow the current Zhao people to continue to hate the current Qin people?"

If you were the co-ruler of the world, would you still allow your subjects to hate each other? ”

"This... Of course it's not allowed, it's all one country, and what do you hate. ”

"That's right! We are now a group, and since we have jumped out of the narrow shackles of one country and one region, we can no longer have the concept of one country and one region, they are all my compatriots, my father, my brothers and sisters, and this is the fundamental reason why I do not allow mutual hatred. ”

This conversation was all recorded by Liu Chang.

The next day, Liu Chang and Liu Ling left the room, and the two came to the residence of Liu Chang's first disciple, Nizi.

It was a dilapidated grass hut, with most of the surrounding earthen walls crumbling and the thatch on the house decaying. After signing the deed of sale, both of them lived in the maid's room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and rarely came back.

Yesterday, Zhao was stunned during the whole process, and when she came back, she found that even if she didn't have to raise her daughter, her life still couldn't be maintained, and when Liu Chang and they came, Zhao was still sitting on the couch in the house crying, and her daughter wiped her mother's tears with her sleeve. When they saw Liu Chang and the others coming in, the mother and son immediately held back their tears and knelt together on the muddy floor in the house, which had just been sprinkled with some water and looked a little damp.

This situation, Liu Chang was not surprised, thirty years ago, when he was the leader of the gang, he had seen it, although through more than thirty years of rest with the people, the situation has improved somewhat, but the land annexation is serious, it has always been a cancer of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot be cured, even Emperor Xiaowu suppressed Haoqiang with iron blood, and there was no obvious change.

"Get up," Liu Chang motioned for their mother and daughter to get up.

"This is your new disciple?" Liu Ling fell in love with this girl at first sight when she saw Nizi: "It's so good-looking, it's so fun!" ”

"What do you mean? What is so funny. Liu Chang pretended to be angry and glared at his aunt: "Come, Nizi, I've seen Uncle Shizu"

Nizi also saw Liu Ling, dressed luxuriously, and didn't know what to do, when she heard her master's instructions, she immediately knelt in front of Liu Ling and made a big salute: "Nizi has seen her uncle and ancestor."

For these etiquettes, it's not that she has any family education inheritance, but that she has seen a lot in Bingji's family, and Bingji Mansion also has special teachings, guides, and what kind of elders to practice what etiquette.

Before Nizi finished kowtowing, Liu Ling pulled Nizi up and looked left and right: "Okay, good, very aura." In the future, it is not allowed to call Shi Shuzu, it is too ugly to hear, call and call Shi Guzu. I am your master's aunt, so you call me my aunt. ”

"No, my aunt and ancestor," Nizi obediently agreed.

"Okay, good apprentice, good nephew and granddaughter" Liu Ling was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth when she smiled: "Let's go, my aunt will buy you a few clothes and a few pieces of jewelry"

"Auntie, she's still a child, what jewelry is she wearing." Liu Chang had the feeling that his apprentice had been abducted.

"Senior Aunt Zu is willing." Liu Ling pulled Nizi and walked out, so that Nizi was at a loss. Look at her mother, don't mention it, her mother didn't get up when she lay on the ground, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Okay, okay, your old man is happy. We'll have to deal with what we're doing here. ”

"What else?"

Liu Chang glanced at Zhao lying on the ground, that is, Nizi's mother: "What should she do?" We don't care? ”

"What the hell is she doing?"

"We don't care, she doesn't have to starve to death."

"Then, you can just give some money, this girl will be bought by us."

"Grandma, we are accepting disciples, not human traffickers."

In this case, if you don't see it, you don't see it, and if you see it, you have to find a way to deal with it, after all, it is the mother of his disciple, and it is easy to cause a shadow in the child's heart.

"So what do you say?" Liu Ling can't help it, a woman, even if she buys him a few acres of land, she can't farm, and she has to sell it in the end.

"How about sending her to Xi'er? Didn't you say that Xi'er was short of people? She is a cook and can take care of Xi'er's food."

"I said that Xi'er lacks people, because of the lack of brothers and sisters, the lack of relatives, and the lack of subordinates."

"I don't care if she lacks a subordinate, he must be placed."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Finally, she was placed in Cao Xi's manor.
