Chapter 35: You're a Good Brother

"Young master, are you playing too big?"

Looking at the back of the prince's convoy leaving quickly, Liu Qu said with some concern.

"That's what I want!" The corners of Liu Ponu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He didn't expect that the polite prince would be so careless.

Isn't it my own business to plant the ground?

I just need to make sure that I don't starve to death and have enough food to hand over to the court?

Downstream people?

What's the matter with me?

It's a matter of their own ability, and I promised that I would never trouble them.

What's the matter, I have to help them farm the land?

Just because of this sentence, the prince got up and said goodbye?

Although Liu Ju still walked around the manor, it was just a formal walk.

Anyway, Liu Ponu is not in a hurry, no matter how many things he shows him, it is useless, so let's wait for Liu Ju to figure out the matter of the waterwheel first.

"Uncle Liu, send someone to the bad old man, let him pay more attention to the prince's reaction in the past few days, and focus on whether the prince has said bad things about me!" Liu Ponu commanded unhurriedly.

"Yes, young master!" Liu Qu nodded with a puzzled face and agreed.

The prince is originally an upright person, he can patiently persuade you This is a normal routine, blindly pleasing in the front, and unceremoniously scolding him in the back, isn't it contradictory?

For Liu Ponu's operation, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Isn't it okay to take out the things directly and explain it to the prince?

Why do you have to go off the rails?

Liu Ponu didn't go off the rails, he just wanted to verify whether the prince was really stupid or fake.

If it's really stupid, then it's really hopeless, and then you have to put your mind on the bad old man, and you don't bother to spend too much energy on the prince, if you really can't persuade you, then prepare to run away as soon as possible.

If it's a fake stupidity, then you can also give it a try.

What Liu Ponu couldn't understand the most was that there was a lesson from the past of Fusu, how could the emperor be so relieved to hand over Liu Ju to the Confucian gang to cultivate?

It's not that Confucianism is bad, but every doctrine has its own weaknesses, and everyone has their own weaknesses.

The current Liu Ponu doesn't understand what Confucianism is, because the things he accepted in later generations are things that have changed I don't know how many times.

Anyway, in Liu Ponu's view, Confucianism is a weapon of rule, Legalism is a weapon of governance, miscellaneousness is a weapon of development and stability, and Zonghengjia is a weapon of external expansion.

It doesn't matter if he respects Confucianism alone, but as a prince and a prince, he can't just learn Confucianism.

Obviously, Liu Ju is a prince who has been seriously biased by Confucianism.

For Liu Ponu, if he can't see the hope of bringing Liu Ju back to the right path, then there is no need to pay for the subsequent efforts, because it is useless.

Even if he can help Liu Ju to the throne, he will still be fooled to death by Confucianism in the next few days.

……

Weiyang Palace!

After receiving Liu Ponu's message, Liu Che didn't ask people to call Liu Ju over until night was about to fall.

Liu Che already knew everything about what happened outside the city today, and he even listened carefully to every little detail.

Liu Che didn't expect Liu Ponu to do this, mainly because this method was so amazing that even Liu Che himself didn't expect it.

Carefully recalling the intention of Liu Ponu's every decision, Liu Che couldn't help but feel even more depressed, although he had long known that this kid was hiding clumsy, but he just couldn't control his depression.

Looking at the prince standing in front of him, Liu Che sighed helplessly and asked, "What is your experience today?" ”

Liu Ju was a little hesitant and didn't know how to answer this question.

Today's experience is of course there, and it is not shallow, but there are good and bad, and he absolutely disdains to say it in the past, because the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other.

I'm not going to bother you, but don't want me to help you.

But Liu Ponu is different, he is his own brother, although he has not yet entered the imperial register, but if he can't enter the imperial nationality because of himself, no matter what others say, Liu Ju will feel very guilty.

"Father, today the retainer saw a waterwheel outside the city, this is an agricultural heavy weapon, if it is used properly, it can solve the problem of irrigation efficiency, which is conducive to increasing the grain production in the coming year......" Liu Ju finally chose to follow his inner thoughts.

Although they are brothers who have never met, blood is thicker than water, and he belittles Liu Ponu because of his personal feelings, and he can't do this.

"What else?" When he heard Liu Zhi's answer, Liu Che's heart had already fallen into the ice cave in an instant, but he still maintained his previous expression and continued to ask.

Although there was no change in his expression, Liu Che's eyes changed slightly.

It seems to be reminding Liu Ju, don't hide it for him, don't treat him as your brother!

Scold him, let me exile him, let me kill him, and scold him twice......

"Father, today's sons were overjoyed when they saw the waterwheel, and they were all focused on how to promote the waterwheel, and they didn't have time to observe more ......," Liu replied firmly in his heart.

"And how do you think I should reward him?" Liu Che suddenly looked at Liu Yi with a smile on his face.

"Erchen thinks that he should be rewarded to calm the world......"

"I'm going to let Zongzheng do this, what do you think?" Liu Che said slowly.

Liu Ju was not surprised, since the emperor let him go, it means that he did not hide his thoughts and did not let himself tell Liu Ponu that he had not decided how to place him.

Now Liu Ponu has come up with an agricultural weapon like a waterwheel, which should be rewarded both publicly and privately.

Let Zongzheng enter him into the royal genealogy, which is also as it should be, but this cannot be counted as a reward, this is what Liu Ponu deserves.

Liu Ju was not stupid, he knew that the emperor was asking how to give Liu Ponu a fief.

Liu Ponu is almost twenty years old, and the princes have basically been crowned kings for almost ten years at this age, and they will soon reach the age of going to the fief.

At this time, although there was no hierarchy between kings, there was a distinction between rich and poor......

If the emperor likes this son, then he will be enclosed in a rich place with simple folk customs.

If he doesn't like it, he will be sent to a place like poverty, strong people, and even dense forests in the south and Dunhuang in the west.

Looking at Liu Ju who was thinking, Liu Che didn't urge, although he had already given Liu Ju two death sentences after meeting for a while, but now, Liu Che still wanted to give Liu Ju another chance, the last time, definitely the last time......

"Father, the son thinks that he can be sealed back to his hometown, and a few more counties will be sealed to him as a reward......" Liu thought for a long time and gave a place that he thought was good.

Liu Ponu is different from other princes, he grew up in the people, and Liu Ju also subconsciously thinks that Liu Ponu should have grown up in his mother's family, so sealing Liu Ponu back to his hometown should be regarded as the best reward.

Liu Che suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, and I don't care if you are reluctant to say bad things about him.

But Liu Ponu has already shown a scoundrel posture in front of you, you don't seal him to a remote and small population place, even if you seal him back to his hometown?

Looking at Liu Ju squandering the last chance given to him lightly, Liu Che instantly felt that the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

In the past, I didn't choose, and I was lazy to choose!

Now, I have a better choice!

Liu Che's face gradually added a trace of father's kindness, you took your throne in exchange for the life of the brother you only saw once, do you know?

"You're a good brother......"
