"Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, dare to ask, are these two holy decrees the meaning of the emperor or the meaning of the prince and Uncle Zhang?" Liu Fan is the grandson of Liu Yu, the king of Pingxi, and the son of Liu Ruxun, the first earl of the general.

As soon as Liu Fan's words were finished, He Muping and Zhang Rang's faces changed, and Zhang Rang looked at Liu Fan with a blue face and said coldly: "Are you suspicious of our family?"

"Don't dare, I don't dare to doubt the prince and Lord Zhang, but I feel that it is useless and that the reward is so rich that I am a little frightened, and I inevitably have some doubts in my heart and want to ask the prince and Lord Zhang. Liu Fan's words made Liu Yu and Liu Ruxun's faces change slightly, what did Liu Fan mean by these words.

He Muping's face softened a little, if this kid directly accepted that he would definitely look down on this kid, he was obsessed with fame and fortune, and his baby daughter marrying him made him feel a little unhappy, but now it seems that this kid has a bit of brains, He Muping nodded and said: "If you have any questions, just ask, Master Zhang and I will definitely explain the doubts in our hearts for you." ”

"Master Zhang, you have lived by the emperor's side for a long time, may I ask who is the current Taifu now, and what is the content of the teaching?"

Zhang Rang's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he couldn't understand what Liu Fan was doing by asking these questions, so he nodded and said: "When the Taifu of the dynasty is the 285th grandson of the sage Kong Sheng, Kong Ping is the great sage of my dynasty, and his teaching is naturally Confucian scholarship. ”

"Then I dare to ask my lord, what is the essence of Confucianism, what is the foundation of our dynasty, and how can we govern the world?"

"The foundation of our dynasty is naturally Confucianism, the essence of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, virtue, wisdom, and filial piety. Among them, loyalty and filial piety are the foundation of our dynasty's governance, and the law is the basis for governing the country.

"I don't dare, I'm relieved that Master Zhang said this. Then I dare to ask the prince a word, I wonder if the prince can explain the doubts in my heart for me?" Liu Fan nodded, and bowed to He Muping.

He Muping said to Liu Fan with satisfaction: "Since Master Zhang has already said it, what can't I do." You ask, it's just that this prince doesn't know much, and if it's about Confucianism, it's better to ask Lord Zhang. ”

Liu Fan smiled and said to He Muping: "I know that the prince has lived in the army all the year round, successfully repelled the barbarians, and started with military merits, so the questions asked are naturally military questions. ”

Liu Fan pointed out He Muping's early achievements, which made He Muping very satisfied, this is the proudest thing in He Muping's life, if it wasn't for his unintentional rescue of the Spirit Emperor at that time, there would be no self today, and now Liu Fan took out this matter to make He Muping very satisfied, He Muping nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Liu Fan to continue.

"Lord Wang, according to the military regulations of our dynasty, what is the basis for the promotion of officers above the battalion level, and what form does it take?"

"Of course, it is military merit, and the military regulations of our dynasty stipulate that all officers above the battalion level must be promoted with sufficient merit to be promoted, and the meritorious service obtained by individuals must be strictly examined by the Ministry of War. "He Muping himself was born in the army, so he naturally understands and understands all these military regulations very well, and he is also the first to say.

"Thank you Lord Wang and Lord Zhang for explaining the doubts in your heart, now is the time to decide which holy decree to receive. ”

"I don't know which holy decree Liu Gongzi is going to receive?" Zhang Rang and He Muping looked at Liu Fan with doubts at the same time, and they didn't know what Liu Fan meant. ...,

Liu Fan took a few steps forward and took the holy decree from the hands of a little eunuch, Zhang Rang's face immediately appeared a warm and smug smile, but He Muping's face was iron-blue, Liu Fan didn't look at He Muping at the moment, walked directly to Zhang Rang, handed over the holy decree in his hand and handed it to Zhang Rang, He Muping saw that the look on his face immediately returned to normal, and there was a slight smile.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to resist the decree?" Zhang Rang's face was very ugly, his voice was cold, and the guards who followed Zhang Rang also glared at Liu Fan with an angry face, ready to make a move at any time.

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that there are some unreasonable things about this holy decree, so I will accept this holy decree below. Liu Fan didn't seem to feel the change in Zhang Rang, and half-bent down to hand over the holy decree in his hand.

"If there's anything unreasonable, you should tell our family well. Zhang Rang's tone was sharp, and the cold air revealed in his voice made the people around him feel a little frightened, and Liu Fan felt that this cold air had pierced his bone marrow.

"Master Zhang, the foundation of imperial governance is Confucianism, the most important of which is loyalty and filial piety. Loyalty, not only to the country but also to oneself. Filial piety, not only to the country, but also to their parents, if you accept this holy decree then it is disloyal and unfilial people, this holy will can not be received. ”

"Why can't our family see the disloyalty and unfilial piety? You can tell our family in detail. ”

Liu Fan stood up, held the holy decree in his hand, and said to Zhang: " Lord Zhang, this holy decree said that he performed well in the next autumn hunt, but he only captured a peerless flying horse, and it was only a fourth-order war beast, not even as good as the seventh brother in the next, and said that the strength was outstanding in the next, and it was just a coincidence that he broke through the Heavenly Realm in the next, and there was still a long way to go before the strength was outstanding, and the most important thing was that he had no size in the next year, if he accepted the position of the ruler and the viscount and the public and private, it was disloyal to the empire, the empire took loyalty and filial piety as the cornerstone, and the law was used as the brick to manage the people of the empire。 ”

"As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, but the holy decree is sealed under the mother of the three products of the edict, which is not in harmony with the imperial etiquette, the mother under is just a maid in the Pingxi Palace, the status is humble, even compared to the seven Niang and the eight Niang below, and the second Niang and the third Niang under are only the three orders, this does not conform to the imperial etiquette system of the reward can not be received below, in addition, although the fiancée under is the daughter of the civil and military marquis, but can not be sealed as the five products because of the reasons below, the acceptance of this holy decree is unfilial piety to the parents, but also to the entire empire of unfilial piety, trampling on the imperial legal system, the world is bound to think that we nobles abuse their powerBesides, the empire is now in an eventful season, so this holy purpose cannot be accepted without chaos, and please forgive me. ”

"So you don't want to accept these things?" Zhang Rang's face had softened a lot, since Liu Fan couldn't accept his holy decree, then he definitely couldn't accept King He Ling's share, and the two were tied.

"Of course, if the adults can give the gold and silver rewards to Zaixia, Zaixia will still be happy to accept it, after all, Zaixia and his mother are also alone and have nothing to grow. ”

Liu Fan's words made Zhang Rang stunned for a moment, and then Zhang Rangdaxiao slapped his palms twice, looked at Liu Fan with satisfaction and took the holy decree in his hand and said: "Okay, our family will accept this holy decree for the emperor, but all the gold and silver in it will be rewarded to you." ”

Zhang Rang's words made Liu Yu and Liu Ruxun look a little embarrassed, especially when Liu Fan mentioned that his mother was just a maid of the Liu family, which made Liu Yu and Liu Ruxun a little annoyed, it seems that this child is still not able to let go of the knot at all. ...,

"As for what the prince wants to say, I have said it to Lord Zhang in the next, but the county lord also asks the prince to be more considerate, not that he doesn't want to marry the county lord but that he is not worthy of the county lord in the lower body, and he has no size in the lower body, not to mention marrying the county lord, that is, he feels ashamed in the face of the county lord, if one day he feels worthy of the county lord, he must personally go to the prince's mansion to propose marriage, and then I hope the prince agrees. Please also ask the prince to make it clear to the emperor on behalf of him, and the prince's great kindness and great virtue must be remembered in his heart. Liu Fan bowed down and handed the holy decree in his hand to He Muping.

He Muping knew that today's wooing was a failure, and he and Zhang Rang had a draw, but hearing Liu Fan take the initiative to say that he was not worthy of his daughter also made He Muping a little satisfied, this kid is still sensible, but this kid's money is indeed limitless, and he must find a way to pull him under his command.

"Okay, this holy decree was also accepted by the king for the emperor, and the king is not stingy, the reward should still be rewarded, and the king will reward all those things outside the body, not double the compensation for you. "For He Muping, the most important thing is money, and four of the eight imperial merchants have clearly supported him, and these people are all rich and rival people, and money is not a problem.

"Then I will thank the prince and Lord Zhang for their kindness. Liu Fan hurriedly kneeled down and buckled his head heavily on the holy decree in the hands of the two, and gave two completely different salutes to He Muping and Zhang Rang, one literati salute and one military salute.

Liu Yu was very satisfied with Liu Fan's actions, and immediately asked a little person a few words before stepping forward to take over the words and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Zhang, please go inside to drink a cup of tea so that Liu can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
